so SAYS PROMINENT BUSINESS
MAN OF ALL HE is INTEREST
ED IN. ORDERS SECRETARY OF
CLUB TO BUY FIVE BALES.

b. NJ. Bynum "A prominent business
man of this city and one who has q
great deal of business with the farm
ers throughout this section of the
state, ordered Secretary West to buy
five bales of 10-cent cotton for him
and stated that every farmer that he
cotton for the same figure if he had
to furnish the cash for them to do so
This spirit seems to prevail among
the progressive and patriotic business
men and they are going to lend any
assistance possible for the worthy
farmer to get at least ten cents for
his cotton. The directors and com
mittee from the Buy-a-bale club re.
Gently organized, have prepared the
following circular letter that is fur
nished to every merchant in the city
doing business with the northern and
eastern wholesalers, and they are
sending the letter to those -41istOHCB
ing that they invest in some cotton
in this county. The letters were fur
nished yesterday, and by the first of
the week it is expected that results
will be forthcoming. Secretary West
stated that about thirty-fve bales had
been spoken for, but so far only one
tnApnhant in tba nitu bDG his hnla N
display, that of NJ. r. Felker & Son,
grocers, he suggested that it might
prove an inducement to other mer-
chants, if every purchaser would dis
play the bale purchased before their
places of business. According to the
Ada papers every merchant in that
city has purchased bale of ten-cent
cotton and has it on display before his
place of business, and the cotton club
here suggests that it would be fine
advertisement for Ardmore if one bale
was purchased and stood before every
business house on main street from
the depot west for travellers to gaze
upon when they arrived in the city.
Following is the circular letter being
sent out by the merchants and fur
nished by the Chamber of Commerce.
Any tenant farmer who has a bale
of cotton to sell at present, might do

SLOT MACHINES
AND PUNCH
BOARDS EXIT
THE GODDESS OF CHANCE ABB.
STRACT ALL THE STRAY NICK
ELS IN THE WORLD.

No longer will the whir of the slot
machine be heard throughout the land
OF the five civilized and sundry other
uncivilized tribes. No longer will one
be permitted to pit skill against a
smiling Venus with the tiny cubes,
for money, marbles or chalk" Nev-
er again will flashing diamonds and
real watches tempt one to take a
punch at an innocent looking, gaudily
papered board with a hidden ticket
to wealth buried in its innocent bos-
ON, and no longer viii you be able
to bet even money that "she" will pay
for your after dinner cigar, which
"she" seldom ever does, because the
ukase has been promulgated. and in
the future there will be absolutely
nothing doing along this line. If you
have to plank down the hard iron, as
no coffee beans, matching pins, or
pulling straws goes.
County Attorney Hardy when asked
how long he was going to give the To-
cal cigar stands to dispose of their
paraphernalia, replied that he was GO
ing to enforce the law, but was busy in
district court this week and had no
time to give the matter any thought.
He stated that he was not ready to be
quoted in the matter, but wanted to be
fair with all parties who were dis
posed to obey the mandates of the
statutes.
A number of owners have already
turned their slot machines to the wall
as there was no play for them yester-
day after it became known that the
governor had issued his proclamation
and the attendant penalty which ap-
piled to the player as well as to the
owner, and others will follow suit, it is
thought, without being warned by the
officers to do so.
Some dealers say that it will hurt
the cigar business, while others main
tain that it will be better for it af-
ter the people become used to the
changed conditions. However, wheth-
er 1t benefits or hurts, it is the law
and the slot machine and punch board
will be a thing of the past in the
city within the next few days.
