Grady County Man Arrested by Dillon Had
Big Collection Of Rifles, Was Brought
to Chickasha on U. 5. Charge
WAS RELEASED
ON $500 BOND
Is Well Known in County and No COnneC-
iiOn With Anti-DrafI Resisters Has Been
Established; Preliminary Nov. Is

United States Marshal J. f. Dill.
lon uncovered what is believed BY
some to be a plot against the gov
emment when he went to the home
Of Walter Payne, farmer living
about five miles south of Bradley
and found stored there several high
powered rifles and small fire arms
Payne was placed under arrest and
brought to Chickasha where he was
allowed to make bond
Marshall Dillon had been notified
by citizens of that community that
Payne had collected a number OF
guns and asked that some action be
taken When the marshal arrived
no one was to be seen and he found
Payne working about the premises.
Payne was charged with violating
section 20 of the Articles Of War
which relates to the aiding and abet-
ting Of the enemy in time of war
Mr.. Payne Is we'll known by old
residents of the county and has liv-
ed in this section for almost twenty
five years. He owns farm about
five miles south Of Bradley and also
blacksmith and repair shop. Coun-
ty Sheriff Hodge Bailey said this
morning II have known Payne for
twenty years and ever since I made
his first acquaintance he has seemed
to have a mania for gathering old
relics and curios do not know
Of course, whether he is guilty OF
any offense against the government
but Judging from his past reputation,
] can hardly believe he is" Deputy
Marshal Dillon said that he knew
nothing against the man Payne ex-
cept that which had been given him
by the people in the neighborhood
where Payne lived and that it was
upon recommendation fthese peo-
pie that he arrested Payne.
Although Payne lives in a strong
socialist settlement, a place in which
several draft resisters were caught
some time ago, it could not be as
certained whether he had ever allied
himself with that element. People
here who have known Payne for some
time say that they have never known
him to take any part in such actions
as we're promoted by the socalled
Jones family
Payne had twelve guns in his pos.
session when Marshall Dillon search
ed his premises. They consisted Of
five 1870 calibre rifles, one 5S calibre
Imusket rifle. one 12 guage repeating
shot gun, two % rifles and two p
pistols
Marshall Dillon stated that all Of
the guns seemed to be in good work
ing order although most Of them
were old style guns.
Together with the guns was also
found several rounds Of ammunition.
Payne was taken before United
states Commissioner speake and
made a cash bond for $500. The date
for the preliminary trial was set for
November Is.

one of some considerable proportions

That industry is none other than

that the Indiahoma gins turn out more

modern machinery than any other sys-

another way of saying that it is the
greatest in the world. The system

Ginning Boil Cotton
The Indiahoma gins are distinctive
in that they were the originators Of
the ginning Of boil cotton. Here in
Chickasha, the first experiment Of
ginning this class Of cotton was made
in Chickasha and since have been put
into general practice east of the Mis-
sissippi river. In the southern belt
east of the Mississippi and through
the southeastern states, the per cent
of boil cotton is not so great, owing
o the late frost. Since the ginning
of boil cotton has been put in practice
millions of dollars have been added to
the wealth of this country through
the cotton industry, for in former
years the boil cotton was All entire
waste.
Good Cotton Seed
This gin system is one Of the
strongest advocates of good cotton
seed in the entire state. They are
among the pioneers in this respect
in the state. Every year the India
homa Gins ship in the best varieties

Survey Now Assured

HAT Richmond will have civic survey
and that it will be made by the New York
Bureau of Municipal Research was settled to
all intents and purposes. by the action Of the
Council Committee on Charter Changes at
Thursday nights meeting. Even in the ranks
of the committee opposition to a survey has
disappeared, and the only questions remain
ing are. when il shall be made by whom it
shall be made and by whom it shall be
financed.
AS to the manner of payment, The Times
Dispatch Is not much concerned. The Civic
Associations offer Of $4,000, made in good
faith and with ample resources to back It,
still stands. Under ordinary circumstances
1t certainly would be better to have the city
government defray an expense of this char
acter, but the cty's financial condition may
make 1t wise to call on the public spirit OF
private citizens. 1t is matter for the
Finance Committee and the Council to decide,
and we shall be satisfied either way.
We believe the committee itself will feel
1t necessary to award the contract to the
Bureau OF Municipal Research The detailed
bids which are to be invited have good deal
to commend them. and if the Bureau of Mu-
nicipal Research is not able TO show that
survey under its direction would be made by
better men, OF larger experience. than the
men who would do the work under some
other agency's direction. we and others have
been appraisng it too high.
But there is no real fear The New York
Bureau Of Municipal Research has been too
long in the public eye and has served too
many communities and conferred on them too
conspicuous benefits to permit misundcr-
standing. That it has enemies after conduct
ing such Investigations and pointing out in
Vulnerable errors i'll policy and method goes
without saying. That 1t has rivals and
critics is also true. but they never charge
anything which casts real dscredit on the
organization.
The urgent need now, as ii has been for
weeks, is for prompt action The survey
Will require four months, approximately after
1t has been begun. If we assume n beginning
the middle OF June. it will be the middle of
October before the results of the survey can
be submitted to the people of Richmond
nat would leave only three months before
the converting OF the next General Assembly.
to which. if the survey should SO indicate
and the public intelligence should approve
the survey s findings, Richmond must appeal
for A new charter.
Again NC urge Council and it's committees
TO speedy consideration and decision OF the
remaining issues Even after the survey has
been published, there will be much TO do
mere is not going TO be unanimous agree
ment on the wisdom or unwisdom of MANY
recommendations Discussion and argument

informed. Delay is menacing Let US he
