stead on Blue river in Johnston
county, named for her uncle, and
of which Tishomingo is the county
seat. Mrs. Murray is a one-eighth
blood Chickasaw Indian and so fair
that many people, who know that
the Murray family belongs to the
Chicka5aws, think that William ii.
Murray himself is the Indian.
The congressman often in his
speeches, in referring to the fact
that his five children, four boys and
one girl, are OF Indian blood, jo-
coselv says: They are white and
Indian at the Democratic ratio OF
10 to l."
Mrs. Murray was educated in the
public schools of the old Chicka
saw nation and at the celebrated
Bloomfield academy, southeast o
Durant, the most prominent acad
envy Of the old ChickaSaw triba
government, at which were edu-
Gated the larger portion OF the mix

Subsequently, she taught school III
that institution. At the time OF
her marriage to the congressman,
she was teacher OF the school at
Emet, Johnston county. She was
reared under a combined influence
of the old Southern idea that the
wife is head of the household and
queen Of the pantry, coupled with
the Indian conception that the wlie
must be at all times loyal to the
husband, and her greatest ambition
is to satisfy the demands of home
life. to make it cheerful for her hus-
band and surround it with proper
influences for her children.
Her character is best expressed in
a sentence quoted from a published
interview in the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat in 1915, while she and the
congressman resided in Washing
ton. A reporter, interviewing her,
asked if she were 4 sutfraget, to
which she replied in the negative.
Then" said the reporter, TO what
anti-suffragist club do you belong
And Mrs. Murray promptly replied: {:
ITO none. | cannot afford to join
ANYTHING that might embarrass my
husband or the future of my boys.
| prefer to be merely a woman.
1t is clear that Mrs. Murray has as
little sympathy for the anti-suttra-
eist of her own sex as She has tor
the militant.
She realizes the peculiar position
in which the wife OF a public man
us placed; that he must be the
while thing in the field OF politics
or She must be the Carrie Nation
with her husband rclegated to OBJ
scurity, just as this situation was
realized by the modest little Mrs.
Lincoln and Mrs. Garfield; in fact,
the wives OF all of Americas great
est men.
Mrs. Murray is a clever painter
and many OF the portraits adornlng
the walls OF her home are the pro-
ductions of her brush. She is a
highly esteemed member of our Sc
lect club-"Tishomingo's Daugh-
ters. also of the Order of the East
ern Star and an active worker in
the Red Cross.
When her husband becomes gov
ernor of Oklahoma she will meet
all the requirements OF hostess OF
the executive mansion, carrying as
she does her experience in Wash
ington, the training OF her uncle
governor of the Chickasaw nation,
her sympathy for mothers-which
ONLY a mother can understand '-
with her education and conception
of womanly attainments, she viii
be enabled TO make at home the
wife Of a farmer or the most humble
citizen as we'll as the most promi-
nent or wealthy.

ley's Reply
Chairman Marley OF the Augusta
Fuel committee has received the fol
lowing letter containing suggestions
for the possible relief to a considerable
extent of the fuel shortage now exist
ing in the city:
Mr.. Samuel {. Manley, Chairman
! Augusta Fuel Committee
Dear Sir:
The fuel situation in Augusta and
vicinity rs now so serious that every
one Is aware of the necessity Of put
ting forth strenuous efforts to con
serve the amount ON hand and to pro
vide for present and future needs by
all possible means.
] Ihere are large number Of men
VINO would be glad 10 'cut a cord" and
more II they had the opportunity and
IL would seem that the fuel commit
tee might arrange with some natri0t;c
citizen, who has large wood lot. Ia
allow people to cut what they need TO,
,
to be paid for the same on the stump
and thereby alleviate a portion Of the
severe shortage.
1t could be arranged to have cut
llhS operations confined to one section
so there would be no scrious damaoo
TO the owners property.
! OF course this would call for somo
sacrifice, but it will be a small mar,
OF what may be required from eve,.v-
one in the future.
| There are several large wood lots
one OF at least 1000 cords. very ac-
cesslble to the citizens of Augusta and
l. am confident there are many who
would be thankful for an onnort,nit,,
TO obtain enough fuel to protect them
selves and families from cold and suf-
ferinS.
Very respectfully.
d. l.. HIGGINS.
Augusta. Me. Jan. II. 1918
In reply to the above Mr.. ManIev
said:
The Augusta fuel committee has M
authority, or funds, with which to han
die this proposition, which is most
commendable. 1t is sincerely to ha
hoped that some citizen or citizens
VINO have available stumpage will nro-
VIDE the opportunity to cut wood at
a fair price.
