September days in Dixie,
Oh, then Miss Dixie drest
Like every Southern leauty
In her loyeliest and best;
In scarlet and in crimson.
IN russell and in brown,
Wi \ a purple robe OF splendor
And lovely golden crown.
September days in Dixie,
Oh, then Miss DiXie's sweet,
With the lost bloom of the roses
In ashes at her feet
But her dear heart every beating
To the old tunes of her soul
In the dear land of old Dixie
Where the Dixie waters roll
September days in Dixie,
Oh, have you ever seen
Such worlds of rosy color
Such walls of living green!
For a deathless smile is Dixie's,
And whether rain or SHOWS,
The smiling lips of Dixie
Are the warm lips of the rose.
September days in Dixie,
And, oh, what charm to swing
The grapevines of the morning
With her warm heart sweet as
spring!
Her white teeth through red coral
To make her smile seem born
OF the golden moonlight melted
And the silver mist of morn.
September days in Dixie,
And that's Miss DiXies time
TO hear the fddles echo
To a dance-tune's pattering rhyme
AVA, away in Dixie,
When the frost is ON the hills,
and she sits there slipping cider
" the old-time cider mills!

PUTNAM HAS NEW
PLAN FOR AP|T0(

BUILD FREE STATE CAPITAL
AND PUT UP BONDS.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 19.-If the leg
isiature heeds the proposition made
Wednesday by l. NJ. Putnam, he will
al once again be concerned in the
state capital matter with a new plan
whereby it is claimed Oklahoma can
ge' free capital
Putnam is now interested in the
Cotton Mills Securities company and
in a communication to the senate
Wednesday he submits a proposition,
in which it is alleged that the Cap
ito! Development company of Okla
hIma City has acknowledged its in
ability ami has failed to perform its
contract formerly made with Okla
homa City to build a free capitol.
The communication states that the
Cotton Mills Securities company has
set aside $40 acres of land, 'in a
re asonably contiguous tract" and
Will sell the land and out of the pro-
cecds build-'a million dollar capitol
fee of cost to the state. The COM
pany will give as security in its Of
fer half million dollars of the bonds
of the company and in addition half
million dollars worth of preferred
stock. The company now owns s.
Geo acres of land in the northwest
Fart of the city. The records show
that the stock and bonds as secur-
itv are worth par.
This proposition was referred to
tie committee on public buildings.
1t may be considered when that COM

-hRDMoRE BOY MAKES GOOD.
Former Postal Messenger Boy
Leading Waxahachie Citizen.

G. C. Cochran, who began life un-
der adverse circumstances in Ard
mere as a telegraph messenger boy,
is now one of the representative CIT
izens of Waxahachie, Texas. In
speaking of the young mans advance
ment the Herald of WaXahachie, OF
recent issue, says:
&c. C. Cochran, recently night op-
orator for the Western Union Tele-
graph company, at this place, left
Tuesday for Dallas, being called w
the main office by the management OF
the company. While in the city he
demonstrated his ability in handling
successfully, without previous exper-
ience, the complicated leased wire
service of The Herald, coming to the
relief of the company when the des'
ignated operator from Dallas failed
to put in an appearance"
In a short time, however, Mr..
Cochran was returned to Waxahachie
by the telegraph people to aid in the
promotion of a cotton exchange for
that city for the coming session.
Young Cochran, through sheer viii
power and hard work and untiring
industry has built himself up from
the very bottom round OF the ladder
70 the position of trust which he now
occupies in the confidence of the
corporation which EMPLOYS him.
In another column of Tho Ardmore-
ite will be found a letter from Mr.
Cochran addressed to his many
friends, especially the boys of Ard
more" The young mans success
full struggle, thus far in the battles
of life, has been such as to make all
old acquaintances glad that they
were friends of his in the days of his
youth and early struggle.

EXPERTS TESTIFY
ON HANDWRITING
III THE IMPEACHMENT PRO-
CEEDINGS AGAINST STAT E
PRINTER FARRIS.

Seeking to discredit the testimony
OF ]. F.. Shearman, handwriting eX-
pert, employed by the state in the i'm
peachment proceedings against Giles
W. Farris, state printer,two witnesses
were put on the stand by the de-
ftnse Wednesday afternoon.
The defense showed by Attorney
Warren X. Snyder of Oklahoma City
that Shearman had been employed
in a case against Snyder some years
ago in which disbarment proceedings
were brought against Snyder. Snyder
testified that Shearman had identified
certain handwriting on letters and
cards as that of Snyder Snyder said
it did not develop who wrote the let
ters claimed to have been written by
him and the proceedings against him
were dropped. Shearman in answer
to a question in the Farris proceed
ipgs if he ever made any mistakes
replied never to his knowledge"
C. D. Scribner, now employed by
the Oklahoma Engraving company,
and who says he has made a study
of penmanship for about II
years, was used by the
defense Wednesday afternoon. TAX
ing the signatures of Democrat Pub
Co.," and Giles w. Farris' on the
warrants said to have been forged by
Farris, Scribner said in his opinion
the signatures had not been written
by the same person. 1t had been tes.
tif,ed they were.
Percy Cornelius of Mangum bank
er, T. F. Hensley of Ell Reno, news
paper man; p. A. Janeway president
Of the Mangum National bank;
George w. Boyd, vice president of
the First National bank of Mangum ;
Rev. j. S. Lamar, formerly of Man
gum but now of Duncan; John d.
Porter of Tulsa; ]. w. Sproat, dep
uty district clerk at Enid, but for
merly of Mangum, and Judge Jarre,
Todd of Mangum, all of whom have
Known Farris for several years, tes-
titled as to his good character, truth
and veracity. They had had dealings
with him in various ways. Those
who had business dealings with him
in which they had occasion to OBJ
serve hs signature all testified in
their best judgment the lines Demo
cIat Pub. Co." and Giles w. Farris"
were not written by the same person.
One witness, Percy Cornelius, on
cross examination, said that he
thought the name of VIM. Stryker
and that of Farris looked similar. On
cne Of the disputed warrants Demo
crat Pub. Co., IWm. Stryker and
Giles w. Farris are all written as an
endorsement. In this instance the
witness thought the VIM. Stryker and
Farris signatures looked similar. All
believed, however, that Democrat
Pub Co., was not written by the
same person who wrote the other sig
natures.
1t is likely the trial will continue
for several days yet.-Oklahoma City
