NOT so HE FEELS IT.

Dear Miss Fairfax; I am 16, and for
the past year have known young
man two years my senior, with whom
I kept company up to seven months
ago, when we had a quarrel and
parted Now we speak, but he does
not seem the same, as he is always
throwing up to me what happened in
the past, and treats me very cOOlIy at
times. Does he care for me OF not?
a. z. G.
He IS so unfair and shows such an
unpleasant tendency to cherish a
grudge, that I hope for your own sake
you will cast him out of your heart.

The office OF tax assessor comes
nearer reaching the interests OF every
man in the county than any other Of
fee. It Is criminal to require one
man to pay more than his pro rata
OF the taxes This IS done more fire.
quently by the assessor overlooking
property than it IS by placing too high
value on what IS assessed In this
regard it is doubtful if a man could
be found in the county who is better
equipped TO give detailed attention to
tax assessing than Sol F. Kimbrell,
who Is in the race for tax assessor. He
has had considerable experience in this
line Of work and if he has ever made
an enemy in his work it was because
he did not allow himself to be used by
persons who wanted favor through
,professed friendship. He stands for
the principle OF putting all the proper
~ on the tax rolls. This is done by
close attention to business. Where all
the property Is assessed there is no
need OF attaching speculative values.
Values in Carter county at this time
may have a speculative value that causes
higher prices to be paid than the prop
erty is really worth. If that specula-
tive value proves TO be real, then is
the time TO add the value to the tax
rolls. but not before An oil field ex-
cites and property many times scars
higher than il should, and prices are
paid on these speculative values, but
the owner OF such property is not in
honor bound to pay more than his pro
rata Of the taxes. These same condi-
tions apply to the towns with equal
force. In case OF his election he will
see that all the property is assessed
and that all property is scheduled at
prices. Hard work and alb
solute honesty in assessments shall pre-
vail if Sol Kimbrell is elected.

OF political unrest in this country for
many years. Il has asserted itself in
the birth OF new parties and in the ere
alton Of new leaders. The victory
which the democrats obtained was due
to that unrest. The people are de-
manding some kind Of change. they feel
they have not been treated fairly by the

the president stand his ground and fight
it out on the principle OF immediate ac-
,ion on antitrust measures and give
the people an opportunity to observe
what can be done through a new series
Of antitrust laws. In case they hamper
business, destroy wealth and become a
menace TO the best interests OF the peo-

CARTER AND WILLIAMS

Congressman Carter and Ferris are
urging the members OF the house to
be present at the debate upon the VII
liams amendment tying up the Chootaw
funds eternally or until the rolls are
opened Mr.. Carter has addressed the
following letter to each member OF
the house:
u expect that you are very busy right
now. and only desire a moment OF your
valuable time 10 call your attention to
what appears to be a gigantic graft that
may be given encouragement by the
adoption OF any legislation at this time
looking to further holding up such diyi-
sion OF the funds OF the Choctaw In
dians as were guaranteed them by their
two treaties known as the Atoka agree
ment June 2s, 1s9S, and the supplement
.tary agreement approved July Isl, 1902
The proof OF this attempted ex-
ploitation is fully set forth in the docu-
ment enclosed herewith, and which
ask that you give such perusal as your
time will permit.
'In the interest OF economy OF your
time | call your particular attention to
pages 1929 and q of this document,
which includes report OF Inspector Nc
Laughin Cone OF the oldest and most
trusted inspectors OF the interior de
partment, and from which you will note
that two firms OF attorneys are claim
ing fees OF more than S9.C00.00O in con-
nection with the enrolment Of Mis-is-
sippi Choctaws.
Il think that we will all agree that
any encouragement Of such excessive
fees and tactics shown by this docu-
ment to have been employed in securing
contracts might bring rcproach upon
congress which is well for us to con
slider before taking action.
"This matter is expected to come up
in the consideration OF the Indian ap-
preparation bill Immediately after the /
house conyenes Tuesday. July Q, and |
ask if possible that you be present and /
hear both sides Of the controversy at

Mr. Carter is now measuring swords
with John Sharpe Williams, former
democratic leader in the house and now
United States senator from Mississippi.
Mr. Williams does not want any Of the
tribal funds to leave the treasury until
the Mississippi Choctaws now in Mis-
sissippi are enrolled and entitled 10
share in the tribal funds Mr.. Carters
contentious are that the Mississippi
Choctaw has had his day in court, that
he failed TO take advantage Of the op-
portunities to obtain citizenship here,
and that the government should proceed .
TO disburse the funds it has TO the
credit Of the tribes. Justice is un-
doubtedly with Mr. Carter and all In
dians and whites in this state are anx- |
ious to see Mr. Garter win in that bitter
fight.

class OF labor brings good pay, but the
men are easy spenders, they travel from
one field to another and few Of them
ever get above the bread line. In this
respect oil labor is not dierent to labor
OF any other kind Wage earners and
salaried rlen as a rule live on the bread
line. They seldom get far enougt above
it bu: that three MONKS OF no en-
ployment puts them in dire necessity
for money 10 pay their bills. Few OF
them have bank accounts to carry them
over rough places 1t is estimated that
ninety per cent OF working men are in
this condition.
\ loan man in one OF the nearby cities
recently said that if all the loans he
had made could be published that they
would make a chapter that would re-
veal conditions that people did not sus-
pect. Theloans were made upon jewel
ry and many other articles OF value:
the loans were in small sums and were
not made in cases OF lack OF fuel or
in cases OF sickness, but were loans
made to families OF wage earners who
had summer visitors and families desir-
ing to set good tables were forced to
put up their valuables in order to supply
their tables with fresh meats and other
things which the family when alone do
not spend much to obtain.
1t IS probable that in ninety cases
out OF one hundred where the Garner
is not above the bread line it is
attributable to the lack Of thrift When
the family has money ii Is used, and
when they have none they do without
