Whose eye ne'er closed while the
army slept?
Who guarded hill and glen?
Who, on front and flank, keen vigil
kept?
'T' was Forrest and his men.
Who fought in front with the battle

Like lions for their den?
Who charged the foe through sabre
and spear?
TT was Forrest and his men.
Who held the rear when misfortune

Battling time and time again?
Who stood their ground With the fury
Of hell?
Twas Forrest and his men.
Who drove the foe from State to State

Who flanked and fought like avenRina

The pride of Southern chiyalfy,
With step still firm and flashing eyer

No names will shine with brighter

PRESENTATION OF BIBLE BY MRS.
CHAS. r. TAYLOR, FOR DAVID
WILLIAMS CHAPTER D. A. r.

Mr.. Chairman and Board of Commits
missioners of Wayne County, N. c..
Gentlemen: On behalf of the David
Williams Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, of GoldsbOrO,
North Carolina, we present his token
of our interest in and owe for the
institution of justice and equity, an in
stitution, which, next to national or
colonial independence and the creation
OF a representative form of govern
ment, vas desired and made possible
by the heroic and victorious struggle
of our forefathers in the American
Revolution. This book, the Bible, was
their inspiration, teaching, as it does,
the love of God, home and country.
1t is, therefore, most fitting that in a
court of justice it's presence is consid-
cred necessary and proper. And, SO
long as the teachings of it's Author,
the great Law Giver, are accepted and
followed, the service of this great in
stitution, into the hands of whose rep
~resentatives we commit this copy, will
be conducted in accordance with the
desires of those who established our
Government and whose memories and
deeds the Daughters of the American
Revolution honor and perpetuate.
The Chapter which we represent, es-

ing this gift to you, to indicate the
purpose of its organization. We desire
in this manner to express u devotion
TO the administration of justice to
which this beautiful building is dedi-
Gated. We wish to convey to you an
expression of the high regard in which
ali the institutions of u community
and State were held by the soldier and
patriot whose name our Chapter bears,
and to pledge to you, the representa-
tives of the County of Wayne, u as
sistance in the teaching of righteous
ness, justice and liberty, and the doing
of loving and kindly deeds, thus pro-
noting the moral and civic welfare of
the home of our fathers, and which
will be to our children a precious heri-
tage.
Mrs. T. A. Hens1ey then rose and
handed the Bible to Rev. J.. w. Gard
ner, saying: "As Loving Deeds, Officer,

The people of Ardmore and oil men

Railroad Yards congested.
From Ardmore to Ringing the rail
road yards are congested with freight
cars loaded with building material con-
signed to the HIealdton oil field.
While citizens of Ardmore seem in

COMMISSION CAN
DiDATE' HAS STRONG
PLATFORM.

r. p. Bowles, Who is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
corporation commissioner, has been
a citizen of southeastern Oklahoma
for twenty years and is well known,
He is a successful business man of
mature judgment, thorough integrity
and high-class ability. His election
will bring to the corporation com
mission third member who will be
strong, positive, active and compe-
tent. The following is the platform
upon which he is running.
/ believe that the greatest degree
of efficiency can he obtained by the
corporation commission through the
prompt execution of orders. If | am
elected, | will cooperate with the
other members in making time an es-
sential in the exercise of all its Of
fices, ana pledge my undivided at.
tontion and energy to this end, and
shall exert every effort to give
prompt hearings and demand speedy
md unequivocal settlement of every
question coming before the commits
sion.
l believe the corporation commits
son should exert its every power aud
influence toward the proper regula-
ion o. oil AM gas pipe lines. The
asst legislature greatly extended the
powers and responsibilities of the
for the purpose of en-.
orcing the Carr bill, and other meas
ues of conservation and regulation.
rhe proper exercise of these furc-
ions means much to the oil industry
IF the state.
! shall favor the Immediate en-
orcement of all orders regulating the
operation of public utilities. l shall
avor vigorous prosecution Of all vio-
ations of orders of the commission.

| shall favor enforcing the promp

preme court, so as TO prevent publ;
service corporations from taking ad
vantage of all possible technicalitic!
of law for the purpose of delaying

sible method
! | shall favor just treatment and
the fullest hearing of all facts and

and not for the purpose of confusing
or delaying action by the commits
sion.
I shall favor a complete readjust-
ment Of telephone and telegraph
rates. These companies are oper-
atlng enormous business on compar-
atiyely small investments. Their
profits, in my judgment, are exorbi-
tant in most instances.
| believe that the goevrnment will
eventually take over all telephone
and telegraph lines, and | shall favor
this proposition, having in mind the
great saving in money and the in
creased convenience resulting from
federal ownership Of the postal sys-
TEN. These utilities are essential
means of public communications and
their use should be thoroughly unham-
pered and unincumbered by private
ownership, and | shall enGeavor to
secure the cooperation Of the other
members of the commission in OBJ
tanning the assistance of all other
corporation commissions of the
United States in an effort to bring
about the government ownership Of
the utilities.
| shall insist upon the prompt
transportation, provide suitable and
adequate depots, comfortable and
sanitary coaches for the convenience
and comfort of their patrons and
where necessary for the protection
Of life and property, to improve the
road bed, including bridges and
trestles.
| shall insist upon the prompt i'm
portation OF live stock and produce
both intra and interstate, in the in
terest of the development OF both the
live stock and farming industries in
this state. Serious hardships result
from a lax enforcement of proper
regulations.
! shall insist upon the highest pos
sible degree of efficiency in employees
and every possible economy in the
conduct of the commission, realiz-
ing fully that conditions in Oklaho-
ma demand that strenuous effort be
made by its officials to reduce the
burden of government.
believe that the corporation COM
mission can render a service to the
consumers of coal by requiring COM
Petition in the sale of coal, thereby
reducing the present high price.
shall insist on such competition.
i. p. Bowles will be nominated on
the democratic ticket to succeed Col
A. p. Watson, because he would bring
to the commission a third member
who is equally equipped in ability
with the theirs. He is positive,
strong, energetic, and loyal to the
public interest. He has an individual
fitness for the position, as well as
IN established integrity, which guar
lntees valuable services if elected.

A. i. WEIGH
State Insurance Commissioner

In advising the public of my candi-
dacy to succeed myself as Insurance
Commissioner | wish to say that
have tried to apply the same careful
business principles to the conduct of
the insurance department that | be
lieye a prudent business man would
employ in the conduct of his business
This department is a great revenue
producing Notwithstanding into
the general revenue fund Of the state
thousands of dollars annually, and !
am able to say TO you that is 1913 the
income of the department shows a
material increase and the expenses
decrease over that of 1912, as FOL
lows:
Income Expenses
1912 --------$227, 7,6OL37 $2i,571.S9
1913 -------- 2SS,3949i 15,1S6.52
A total increase in income and saw
ing in expenses of $15,072.94.
The trainers of our constitution
appreciated the importance of insur-
ance and evidently wished to encour-
age all legitimate lines that would
give the people n square deal, and,
at the same time, prevent unreliable
concerns from preying upon the peo-
pie or they would not have provided
for a separate department of state
for the supervision of the business.
Specific acts FOR the regulation and
conduct of the business were, of
course, left to the legislature and
some excellent laws have been passed
but in making a careful study of
these laws and their application | do
not find any law that gives the insur-
ance commissioner supervision over
a company in process of organization.
When elected insurance commits
sioner | shall urge the next legisla-
ture to pass such a law in order that
the public may have some protection
against the unscrGpulous promoter
that attempts to sell stock by making
unreasonable representations as TO its
actual and probable value.
am also ambitious to see law
passed that will make the insurance
commissioner receiver, without eX-
pense to policy-holders, for insolvent
companies, to the end that all the as
sets of a company that may get IN
this unfortunate condition may be |
conserved for the liquidation of It's |
Just debts, and uninterested parties |
be prevented from reaplng a profit |
out of such contingency.

ATTACK IS MADE ON
PRESS CENSORSHIP

London, Aug lot. P. O'Connor,
the Irish Nationalist, today in the
house of commons again opened fire
on the press censorship established by
the British government. He said that
thousands of dollars spent by Ameri
can newspapers had been wasted in
consequence of the censorship and he
suggested that trained newspapermen
should be added to the staff of CEN
sorship bureau The Right Honorable
Charles Hobhouse, speaking in behalf
of the British post office authorities,
dlsclaimed any responsibility for the
censorship over which he said the war
office exercised full and sole control.
He said if there was any delay in for
warding messages after they had
passed the censor he was ready to do
what he could in the matter.
