First Presbyterian. Christian, Bap-
tist Methodist and other churches;
Southeastern Normal School; fout
two-story brick school buildings for
Durant; for a Presbyterian College
for Girls. All these and other insti-
tutiops Of this town are eloquent OF
the effort and perseverance of Lew
is Paullin.
Mr. Paullin is poor campaigner;
he is a doer, and not a SMOOTH
tongued diplomat. Trust to him for
loyalty to truth and. justicer
You who might contemplate the
administration of your estate in the
County Court can have nothing to
fear from him as your Judge.
When financial reverses came he
sacrificed his property, did the brave
and honest thing, and honored his
paper to the last farthing.
Could such a man be unjust or un-
fair as your Probate Judge? He
could be nothing il not a Just and
upright Judge. He will show you
how much and how deeply his honest
nature can appreciate the honor con-
ferred
The residents of Durant. knowing
the devotion of Lewis Paullin to this
Town and County and to the Demo-
cratic party, and his very large share
in making a County Court at Durant
possible, must be both Indifferent
and ungrateful not to be largely in
fluenced thereby on election day.
1t is a wretched impeachment to
be charged with ingratitude. To give
one man eight years of honors and
emoluments, and to turn deaf ear
and cold hand to ones benefactor
must entitle us to the unfavorable
comment and just criticism of all
right thinking and just people.

 There are three varieties of green. heart-yellow. black and maintop-ali most serviceable and durable woods If cut at maturity. Greenheart is one or the taifest forest trees of British Gui. ana. and logs can be had from eighteen to twenty-four inches square and sev- enty feet long IL grows in clay soil near the rivers and creeks. Owing to the great demand for this timber and the absence of legal restriction to pre- vent the cutting of The young trees it Is becoming extremely difficult to prO duce good greenheart. and its preserva- tion is worthy of tue attention of the legislature.
 Greenheart is already familiar 10 the ..Tde. being highly esteemed for all classes of submerged work-piles, dock gates. etc It is one of the eight first ci..ss woods of Lloyd'S. and admirable keeisons,. knee and other timbers can be had of it.

 The PapsF1 consulting engineers aft CT corS .eon of the worlds woods have adopted British Guiana green heart for the Panama canal locks. re- garding it as superior to Australnh ironback wood in its resistance to tt" teredo
 Though the excellence of greenheart has never been SO prominently brought before the notice of the world it's dura. bility and suitability for lock gates are widely known. Most of the lock gates constructed in the Mersey during the last twenty years have been made with it. as have those at the Manchester ship canal. and wnen the necessity uc- cured for eula"giug some of the canal lock gates fully thirty yearS after they Were placed in position it WAS found that the wood was in such an eXce.lent state of preservation that it could Oa used over again.

XntislIty of the Saw.

The saw Is the earliest tool that has been traced in Egyptian history. 10 was found first in the form of . notch. ed bronze knife in the third dynasty. or about 5000 years before the Chris. tan era, and was followed In the fourth end fifth dynastles by larger toothed saws. which were used by carpenters. but there are no dated specimens until the seventh century before the Chris tian era. when the Assyrians used iron saws. The first knives on record were made out of flint and were in fact saws with minute teeth, They prob. ably were used for cutting up animals, as the teeth would break away even on soft wood. Rasps. which are but form of saw. were first made of sheets of bronze. punched and eoiled round, but the Assyrans in the seventh cen tury used the straight rasp made Of iron similar to the modern type. In the present day the saw Is probably used more than any other tool. It has taken three distinct forms for the working of both wood and metal-the straight saw. the band saw and tue circular saw.

FOR SHERIFF
PRESENT COUNTY COMMISSION
Err SAYS HE WILL MAKE GOOD
IF ELECTED BY PEOPLE AT
PRIMARY ELECTION.

J. r. Taliaferro makes public his
announcement for sheriff of this coun.
ty, and the press feels that he needs
no introduction to its citizenship, as
he has been a resident here for thirty
years, and has seen the country de-
yelop from a sparsely settled COM
munity into one of the most prosper
Gus counties of the state.
Mr.. Taliaferro has served as chair
man of the Board of County Commits
sioners for the past three years, and
we have yet to hear the first real
complaint against him. He is one OF
the most faithful and efficient public
officials the county has ever had.
Ever ready on the streets, roads, or
anywhere, to hear the complaints of
the citizens, and trying to relieve
their wants, and when he fails, it
is for the lack of funds, and, as he
believes that all men should stand
for something, he makes public his
platform, that the citizenship may
know what he stands for.

OLD GRAF 7 DID

IN OIL FIELD
DEPUTY BROOKS TAKES "CEAF
AND DUMB" MAN IN CUSTODY
- WAS REAPING HARVEST AT
RAGTOWN.

There was slick-ooking tool
dresser" in Ragtown Thursday and
Friday who was working a graft that
beat his own trade, in other words,
he stated in county court yesterday
that he was without job and when
he struck the fields broke" the town
looked so easy for him that he con-
cluded he would separate a few easy
marks from their money.
As the old jokes are the best, so
the old graft seems to get the money,
and therefore this man concluded that
to be deaf and dumb for a time would
>reap a harvest of dollars. He was
getting along swimmingly when his
foot slipped and in response TO a
query he proceeded to tell the inter
rogator all about the oil game in
the hearing of a sympathetic citizen,
who previous to the dialogue had
contributed small coin. Brooks hap
pened to be passing at the time, and
was summoned. He took the afflicted
one into custody and yesterday morn
ing the man entered a plea of guilty,
and was sent to the county road for
thirty days, together with a fine of
fifty dollars added for good measure.
Unless he has the fifty when his time
expires, he will donate eighty days
sf hard labor on the roads of Carter
county.-and all for trying to work
an "old one" in the heart of the oil
fields. where the "wisest guys on
earth" congregate.
