HAS MADE GOOD RECORD.
Rexroat Of Carter Ranks as One o
Leaders in the House.

Probably there is not member OF
the present house Of representatives
of the Oklahoma legislature who
ranks any higher in the councils ,i
that body than does L. T. Rexroat
the member from Carter county.
Mr. Rexroat is serving the constlt.
uency of this section for the sec
ond time, and the record which he
made for himself at the preceding
session was such that upon the or
ganization OF the present house
Speaker Maxey. recognizing hi,
ability, his integrity and his unswerv-
ing devotion to honesty and to the
interests of his entire constituency
placed his name upon the list of mem
bers of all the leading committees
for this session.
When Tom Rexroat asked the dem
ocracy of Carter county to renomi-
nate him for the office of represent
alive last summer, he promised that
he would work faithfully in the in
terests of both the party to which
he belongs and of the whole people
whom he wished to represent. SO far
as an evidence has appeared to the
contrary he has kept every one OF
these promises.
Being elected from one of the
heavy farmer vote counties of south
ern Oklahoma, Mr.. ReXroat has la
bored indefatigably in the interest oI
all legislation affecting the farmers
of the entire state. In so far as has
been in his power Mr.. Rexroat has
fulfilled every campaign promise ant
he can return to his home after thC
adjournment OF the present session
of the legislature knowing that he
can face his constituency with clear
conscience and a clean record.
Tom ReXroat said in one of his
speeches delivered in the campaigr
last fall that he was proud of Carter
county proud that he coulc
claim his home in this county. To-
day, in view of the services whici
he has rendered the people whose
representative he is, the people who
elected him can and will say tha'
Carter county is proud of Tom Rex
roat and proud to have him for &
citizen.

If the stomach is overworked, its
muscles become tired and gradually
grow weaker and weaker, until they
are unable to take care of the food
properly. The glands fail to provide
the juices necessary to digest the
food. Gases form and cause all sorts
of pain, misery and wretchedness,
as we'll as extreme danger to the
heart.
1t is ther that the stomach calls
for help. Ordinary medicines are i'm
possible. They not only fail to help
the stomach, out injure the entire
system Medical men have studied
the stomach and have discovered
that the digestive juices consist
largely of pepsin, hydrochloric acid
and nitrogenous ferments What,
then, would be more natural than to
supply these properties artificially
when the stomach is unable to pro-
ducc them?
That is the object of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets These powerful liz
lie agents relieve the stomach OF
its burden, thereby giving it an op-
portunity to regain its normal
strength. They tone up, strengthen
and revitalize the secretory glands,
mucous membranes, absorbing glands
and muscular walls. They restore to
the stomach its lost powers of diges-
ton so that it can again do its work
without assistance. They contain. in
a concentrated form, every element
necessary to digest all sorts of food.
whether acid or alkaline.
If you experience an oppressive
feeling just inside the lower end of
your breast bone and extending up
ward towards your heart. do not
hesitate an instant. Get Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets from the nearest
druggist at once and take one. In
a few minutes the pain will leave
YOU and you will feel better. Take n
tablet after each meal for several
days and your stomach will ono
more perform it's duties. All drug
gists sell them at soc box.

time as his successor was ready to
take up the work. He states, how
ever, that whatever rights he may
have III lue lHdItel VIII pe ioohcu oil

Farris reasserts his innocence in

the peoples money obtained through
fl audulent means and that hescefor, b

reputation.

BAPTIST COLLEGE
URGED BY NEGROES
Think Birmingham Is Logical Point
for Another School to Be Founded
by ColOred Baptists


Speaking for the Birmingham Baptist
college. the Institution of learning pro-
iected by the negro Baptists of the
Birmingham district and a few adjoin-
ing counties, DR.. T. w. Walker, pastor
of Shiloh Baptist church. made strong
address before the Mount Pilgrim Bap-
tist Sunday school convention of negro
Raptists. which has been in session at
the Mount Moriah Baptist church, Pratt
City, practically all of the week. The
greater portion of Saturdays session
was given over to a consideration of
the projected Birmingham educational
work
Dr. Walker declared that the erection
of a suitable institution of learning in
the district by the negro Baptists was
a crying necessity In view of the me-
gro accommoda tons given negroes by
the city on the one hand and on the
other that the negroes were making a
sad mistake il they continue to erect
fine churches and did not train the
young people SO they would care for
them in the future.
ut is hard to lead without the intel
ligent cooperation of the laity," sail
he, "and If we would succeed in this
project. We must take the people fully
into our confidence. and preach from
our pulpits the wisdom and the neces-
must admit that the negro Baptists do
not know their strength. We must stop
talking our differences and get toge-
ther As long as we are narrow with
the peoples affairs, they will be mar
row with u.s."
DR. John w. Goodgame, pastor of the
Sixth Avenue Baptist church declared
that the people of the community were
ready for the school and would give
willingly to its erection and mainten-
ance. He told the people of the con-
vention that the four associations and
the four Sunday school conventions in
terested in the project had agreed upon
the one site of eight acres of land Il
Powderly, and that three other sites,
approximating $4,000 in value had by
this action become the property of the
joint board of education This $4,000.
to gether with the $4,000 available was
now ready for the beginning of the
work The property at Powderly, ac-
cording to Dr. Goodgame's statement
was easily worth $4,000 He declared
Dr. 7. w. Walker to be the logical man
to take the lead in all the work and
paid him high tribute as a pioneer
race man in the Birmingham district.
Altogether, the reports of the conven-
ton will show that more than $500
have been contributed by the Mount
Pilgrim convention alone for the edu-
cational work at this meeting.

GLOW well I stated the truth is now
known to the people of Alabama, despite
tho governor and his farce investigation.
AZ thanked the examiners for permit
ting me to read my statement uninter-
rupted, but l did not thank them anu
did not appreciate their action in trying
TO impeach me, their own witness, which
is unheard of before.
s.John Gamble was put on the stand and
asked leading questions so fast that he
even swore that Mr. Henderson had also
sworn before the committee that the Hen
derson Lumber company never made an
offer of $40 for the conyicts. | then
called attention to the fact that he had
never been sworn. I was not allowed to
ask Mr. Gamble any questions myself
but had to do 1t through the state
attorneys, which numbered four.
1.-THE whole proceedings down there are
a farce and the convict department is
dead and stinking. If they tried to find
new matters as hard as they did to dis
credit me and steer the governor through
his administration, they would probably
get more information.
'.The statement of Mr.. Bowman that
he had indorsed me for three positions
is not correct I do not know that
will honor him with a reply.
Used to Discredit Him
ut seems that all the witnesses that
have taken the stand since l have testi-
fed have been used to discredit my tes-
timony. They are John Gamble, p. 6.

they cannot do, because If | hadn't got
the information from John Gamble, I must
have received it from some supreme pow
er. because | told them facts as John
Gamble related them to me a year ago,
and they have been proved beyond the
shadow of doubt.
John Gamble swore on cross-examina
ton that the contract attorneys fee of
$4,000 was for a few DAYS services of Mr.
Bowman and closed his testimony by re-
iterating this fact on a cross-question
by me- He stated further that the con-
tract with Mr. Bowman ended when the
contract of the Henderson Lumber com
pany which was made September 26.
1911 ended, Mr. Bowman having been paid
his fee of $4,000 three days thereafter. l
