NINE MONTHS
SCHOOL CERTAIN
AHDMOFE WILL NOT CURTAIL
HER SCHOOL TERM THIS YEAR
AS ANTICIPATED.

The county excise board will make
the extra levy of one and seven
tenths mills for school purposes in
district 10 (City of Ardmore) accord
ing to statement of r. A. Hefner,
president Of the school board this
morning and Ardmore will have 4
nine months school Notwithstanding
the recent election when it seemed
that the question was defeated for
lock of interest upon the part of the
citizens Of the city.
The statute provides that ma.
jority Of thirty per cent of the vote
is necessary in order to make the
election, but the constitution plainly
says that majority of the vote cast
Is sufficient and the supreme court
mas decided that the thirty per cent
law is unconstitutional and a ma
lority is sufficient to make the cleo
ton legal.
This information will be received
with joy by many citizens of the civ
who were deploring the fact that
Ardmore was to have but seven
months school this year.

LIKE PLAN FOR

SEVERAL PROMINENT FARMERS
AND BUSINESS MEN TALK OF
THE PROPOSITION.

Several farmers and business men
OF the city and county were inter-
viewed in regard to the proposed plan
FOR the establishment of permanent
county fair association as outlined
n yesterdays paper and with one ac-
cord they are heartily in favor of
adopting it.
They say that the small levy asked
would be of such insignificant pro
portions that it would make very
little material difference with the in
dividual taxes of each individual and
at the same time would be adequate
to maintain a fine county agricultural
association.
