the favorite son expound Democratic
doctorine.
II was the intention to charter a
special train and have all the south
ern tier of counties participate, but
owing TO the fact that many wanted
to be at the fair on the opening
date and from the further fact that
the regular schedules on all rail
roads are very favorable to this sec
tion the idea has been abandoned
and the Democrats from this section
will reserve their fire works until
they reach Oklahoma City and then
touch them off in huge punches The
Oklahoma City Democrats and poll
ticians have prepared a warm recep-
tion for the visitors and they will no
doubt be given the very best time

HALL PLANS
BEING DRAWN
MONEY FROM BONDS WILL BE
AVAILABLE IN A FEW DAYS
AND WORK WILL BEGIN AS
SOON AS PLANS ARE ACCEPTED

Mayor Mullen stated this morning
that in all probability the money for
the convention hail would be avail
able some day this week and that as
soon as the city commissioners and
the citizens committee passed on the
plans now being made by Architect
White. work would actually begin.
Mr.. White, it is understood, will
submit several sets of plans for this
structure, and the best will be select
ed by the city officials and the com
mittee. The convention hall is TO cost
$4,000, which insures a structure that
will not only be amply large, but will
be an ornament to the city. This, to-
gether with the new MOTEL that is a
certainty, will add greatly to the west
end of the city's appearance.
With reference to the hotel propo-
sition, it can be stated that plans are
being drawn at this time and no
doubt the advent of the Fox pool will
stimulate Mr.. Sharp to Immediate ac
ton.
Work on either structure cannot
begin too soon to suit the citizens OF
the city at present. They would like
to see both finished before the first OF
the year, but that would be a physical
impossibility.

New Pipe Line Probable.

Just as soon as enough oil has
beeen developed at Fox to show that
pipe line can be supplied the pipe
line department of the Gypsy Oil
company which is the Guffey Petrol
cum company will build line into
that field. The Gypsy was the first
company to enter the field. Before
oil was found at Healdton that com
pany drilled well in the Fox field
but did not go to depth that con
stituted test. The company moved
south and west of its first well and
drilled the second well and found a
big gasser. 1t is now drilling another
well in the same area. More pipe
lines will naturally be of advantage
to Healdton.

District MeetinQ.

The Ardmore district get-to-gethel
meeting at the Broadway Methodist
church is in session and will continue

tors of the district and quite a mum
mer of laymen are present. There

c. r. Proctor of Marietta, and we
hope to have a large attendance OF

The trade in copra, which is the
dried meat Of coconuts, is one Of the
important trade lines Of the worlds
markets, copra giving forth coco oil,
which has many uses, its principal use
being in the making Of soap by the
great soap manufacturers Of the world.
Coco butter has also come to be an
important article Of world commerce,
and much dried coconut meat is used
throughout the world in the confec-
tionery business.

fields at Healdton and Fox. Judge
Gillett is pioneer in Oklahoma, for
many years he was on the bench at

HOW ABOUT IT?

We call attention to the following
town ordinances:
Article x
Section 10: It shall be unlawful to
wash any meats, fish, clothes, vege-
tables, buggies, carriages or wagons
within thirty feet of any public well,
or to wash the hands or feet on the
covering of any public well, or t. al
low any horse or mule to drink out CT
any bucket or other vessel or the GOV
ering of any public well. Any enc vio-
lating any portion Of this section shall
be fined one dollar for each offense.
Section Is: All trash, paper. rub
fish Of any kind swept or removed from
any place of business in the Town, 81 Ill
be burned or carried away. ANY per
son, firm or corporation violating this
section shall be fined for each offense
the sum of two dollars.
We suggest that the Mayor, Com
missioners and Police, in body, visit
the back lots in town once. You IL be
amazed.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1916-09-01
TO THE PUBLIC:

I take this method of extending to
the public my sincere thanks for their
kind treatment since my coming here
last year, both in a friendly and in
business way. [ have had this paper
incorporated and we are now prepared
to handle any matters intrusted to US
in the very best and quickest way.
Recognizing the possibilities in this
community of giving the public the
best semi-weekly paper in the State,
and realizing that it takes money to
do business in this progressive age, /
concluded that the best thing for me
to do, was to incorporate, which ha,
been done.
AS appears above, I retain the man
agement, and ask the public to CO.
operate with me and I guarantee you
the very best paper for one dollar
per year, and twice a week, in the
State. 1 am better prepared, in every
way, to take care Of your advertising
and job printing. Give me trial or
your next job work and see for your
self how well it is executed.

Would it not be a good idea, if Con-
gress passes the eight hour day law on
railroads, to make it unlawful for the
trainmen to work over time; thereby
giving some other fellow a chance to
reap some Of those high wages? Will
not the eight-hour law compel the
railroads to put on another crew for
each train? If SO, they could arrange
their schedules to suit the time That
would give employment to other de-
serving men and aid them in support
ing their families.

We are not criticising or complain
ing, but it does seem to us that the
Mayor office being so close to the
market, that the mayor would see that
the habit Of opening barrels of fish on
the sidewalks in front Of the market,
and pouring the fishy water on Main
street, was stopped. Only two minutes
of his time and two words from him
would put an end to it. Will he put
forth this much effort. We think so.
But wait and see. If he hasn't the
time, we suggest he instruct the Chief
of Police to attend to this.

Fault Finding.

It is always easy to find fault. And
the tendency of those who possess this
unfortunate bend in criticism is always
to deal in generalities. Specific in
stances are overlooked, wantonly and
deliberately Take those who are cri-
cising President Wilson. They are not
pointing out concrete illustrations
wherein he has blundered. They are
dealing in general terms. Notably is
this true of Candidate Hughes who
finds the administration of Mr.. Wills M
marked by puerility and inaptitudc.
Those are broad terms, meaning moth
ing to the average man of intelligence
unless they are supported by specific
instances wherein pueriity and stu
pidity have been prominent. That is
the tendency Of the fault finder He
does not care to tell the public just
what is the matter with the man he is
criticising except to say that be is
wrong, that his course of action i'll gen
eral is improperly directed and that
the whole slant Of his actions IS wrong
He omits the definite, tangible evi
dences. Mr.. Hughes has not sought
to pick out the individual flaws in the
Wilson temperament, as man, neithe,
has he singled out the specific mis-
takes, the individual blunders Of Mr.
Wilson as an occupant of the White
=. L. II - -
generalities and the people ere getting
sick and tired of it. They want t.
know what is actually wrong with thu
president. The trouble is that MIR
Hughes is nothing more than commo,
Pathfinder which is little more than
hackbiter. He says his opponent
wrong and leaves it at that-Ex.
