NEW ANNEX WILL
Be WELCOMED
1T WOULD BE ESPECIALLY so
DURING THE HEATED TERM
SHOWER BATHS.

The new annex to the Baptist
church will be hailed with delight by
the young men of the Sunday school
and congregation, especially for the
shower baths that will be installed.
The plans for the building have
been drawn, and most of the money
has been subscribed for its erection.
1t was reported that work would begin
shortly after the last revival meeting
closed, but for some reason work has
been delayed.
Rev. Masters is in the western por-
ton of the county holding a revival
meeting, and it is thought, when he
finishes there, he will get busy on
the annex.
Great strides have been made in
the church property under the pastor
ate of Rev. Masters. He is a church
builder par excellence, and whenever
he launches an undertaking along any
line of church work, it goes through.
It is hoped that work will begin
at once, that it may be finished and
the baths enjoyed before the heated
term is over.

Several causes are attributed to the

one is the local oil situation that is
in a complicated condition at present.
Ninety days ago it was practically i'm

good rooms all over the city were in
demand at fancy prices, the condition
at present is quite the reverse, the
hotels have no trouble in taking care

PRESIDENT WILL TAKE FlNAN-
clAL AND INDUSTRIAL LEAD.
ERs INTO HIS CONFIDENCE.
MORGAN THERE TODAY
Financier Has Conference at White
House With Wilson and Henry Ford
of Detroit is to Meet with President
Next Week.

Washington, d. c., July 2.-That
President Wilson would discuss big
business" with the financial and indus
trial leaders, became known today
with the announcement that he held
a conference with j. p. Morgan at the
White House today and that he will
confer with Henry Ford the Detroit
manufacturer, at luncheon at the
White House next week.
1t had been pointed out that Wilson
conferred with big business men less
frequently than his predecessors, in
fact, had not been asking their advice
on legislation affecting business.
When the currency bill was in con-
gress, Wilson even declined to receive
some members of the Morgan firm.
White house officials said that one
feature which entered into the public
discussion of the administration
trust legislation policy and what Will
son characterized as psychological
depression" was the inference that
Wilson did not care to meet the big
business men face to face and discuss
personally the issues they were vitality
interested in.
1t is said that the conference will
be to show Wilson's open mind, that
he is willing to hear their views and
outline his own 1t is not known wheth-
er Wilson or Morgan sought today's
conference.
1t is not known whether or not
they discussed the New Haven rail-
roads affairs. "My visit with the presi-
dent was very cordial. You'll have to
ask him what we talked about" was
all that Morgan would say when he
came from the conference which lasted
nearly an hour.

VOTED BONDS FOR
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
ELECTION - CARRY QUESTION
ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY.
CITIZENS OF NEW WILSON HOLD

The citizens of New Wilson held an
election Tuesday, June 80, for the pur-
pose of submitting the question to the
voters whether they should issue
bonds in the amount of $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting new school
building at that place. 239 votes were
cast, and of that number 222 were for
the bonds and II against.
New Wilson is in school district AZ,
comprising Hewitt and that section
of the county. Hewitt already has a
fine school building, but it is the in
tention of the citizens of Wilson and
of Hewitt as well, to make the Wilson
school one of the biggest and best in
the county. 1t is reported that over
500 pupils reside in Wilson and imme-
diate vicinity who will attend this
school.
County Superintendent Thurston
stated this morning that the citizens
of Wilson are to be congratulated up
on their decided stand for better edu-
cation and better roads. In speaking
of the roads Mr.. Thurston said that
work was progressing nicely on the
road between Wilson and the oil fields,
and that it was adding greatly to the
convenience of oil and supply men
who are compelled to make heavy
hauls to the fields.

SMOOTH ARTIST
GETS THE MONEY
AND A FEW MISGUIDED CAND'-
DATES GET A LITTLE NEEDED
EXPERIENCE.

Candidates, as a rule, are easy pick
ing for any sort of an old graft that
bobs up, and have the mistaken idea
that if they don't fall for every blk
ing game that comes along, they
will lose votes and friends for them
at the election. This, in a measure,
may be true, but that aforesaid meas
ure is mighty small, and they would
be just as well off in friends and a
whole lot better off in money if they
would put the boots to ninety-nine
out of every one hundred grafters
that enter their presence.
Carter county has a swarm of can
didates this year, as has all counties
in the state, and they are all anxious
to land jobs, too, so when a smooth
individual comes along with a scheme
TO get out a candidates directory
and place them promiscously over
the county, he had very little trouble
in separating a number of them from
a perfectly good five-dollar bill.
That happened some time ago, and
the candidates are beginning to get
hot under the collar, which is a very
uncomfortable feeling this torrid wea-
ther. Likewise they are beginning
to wonder what has become of the
suave individual who so surreptious-
ly separated them from their money.

is going to make it interesting for

something doesn't show up pretty
quick for the money collected, and
he further states that the candidates,
as a rule, should enter into a com
pact to spend their money with the
lncal shops, which help them in their
tine of trouble.
In the meantime, If you want to

amounted to 1,l3S,519 barrels, Of
which the Prairie run 951,165, the
Gulf 22S,536, and the Texas 25S,S1S
barrels. The average percentage of

i've was 35.9 per cent. The pro rating
for the Cushing oil was .OOO55 per
barrel, or soc per thousand barrels.
