Governor Cruce has appointed the
new agricultural board and the fun
will start again. Attorneys for the
old board state that the bill under
which they were recalled vas de-
fective. President Tom Bryan is ev-
identity not in sympathy with the
Cam/Iell Russell movement to recall
the board members and may not
recognize the new board. They had
been in office but short time and
we're striving to do something in their
line of work and before they had
time to make a success or u failure
they were recalled. Although they
were elected under law written
by Campbell Russell he became dis
pleased with the law he initiated and
sought their recall. The next move
will probably be the bringing of quo
warranto proceedings. While the
case is pending in the courts Mr.
Bryan and the secretary can be the

FIGHTING FOR
HER CHILDREN
WOMAN WHO CAME FROM MIS-
SIPPl WILL STAY HERE UNTIL
SHE GETS THEM.

Josie Brown, the woman who came
all the way from Mississippi to secure
her two children, boy and girl, liv-
ing with an uncle near Lone Grove,
has not been able to get the boy and
has gone to work to earn money
enough to pay the court cost in an
action to recover her boy, who re-
fuses to 80 with her and cannot be
taken without court action, as no
officer has power to act. Mrs. Brown
says she will have her child and
the county attorney told her that she
had a perfect right to him, but unless
the uncle would give the boy VI
peaceably or the boy consent to &c
with her, she would have to resort tc
the courts to secure him. Jimmy
Mathers has consented to take the
woman's case without pay and all she
must do is to put up court cost which
she is working to earn.

POOR SINFUL pURANT.

Durant is in sad plight II has
fallen from grace. That city has
come more nearly enforcing the law
against liquor than any other town
of its size located in prohibition ter
rtory In the Sunday School con-
tests held with other towns 1t has
marched OF with many of the honors.
The preachers preach to big crowds
who listen attcntiyely, but something
somewhere is wrong.
The editor of the Democrat has
concluded that the town needs II
revival. If revival II must have,
we might extend the courtesy of
sending DR. Bulgin there after he
has finished this town. Durant with
its godly mothers and peaccablc men
ought to be able to stand the pres
rnt stress of things until the meeting
closes here. From the start made
last night by the minister here II
is certain that he can wake up that
city
The Democrat says:
Frankly and sincerely. in all city
loyalty. interest and pride, the Dem
ocrat is certain that Durant's great
est need today Is not more men and
money, more homes and Industries,
more pleasures and enterprise, more
trade and better salaried jobs, moro
railroads aud factories, more buzzing
autos and a dobtlcss government,
more clothes and moro pride, hu, a

leading many OF our good people
away from duty, from the church
and from God. and as result Du-

OIL MEN PLEASED.
A Coed Field or the Greatest Freak
Known Exists in Carter County,

Known Exists in Carter County.
Oil men who are in close connec-
ton with the Healdton field are of
the opinion that a really great oil field
has been discovered. One man said
today that two wells did not make
a field. but he had never known of
only two wells being brought in and
none others found. So the Carter
county field is either a good one or
the greatest freak ever known to the
oil industry. The Apple Franklin
Oil Company is selling stock to local
parties and will put a rig in the field
within 500 yards of well No /. The
bringing in Of the second we'll has
revived interest in the local COM
pany and some who are anxious 10
acquire an interest in the oil field
have already invested their money.
Other stock will be sold at once
and rig will be placed in the
field.
