COTTON NOW COMING
To ARDMORE IN OLD
TIME BIG QUANTITY

"Ardmore will be getting 100 bales
Of cotton daily, before the last Of the
week" predicted one cotton buyer last
night, who stated that picking was
going on rapidly I'm the fields and
that the farmers We're making rapid
progress in getting out the staple.
The grades are holding up nicely,
thus far, and cotton experts say that
they expect prices to maintain the pres
ent level for some time to come. We'd
nesday quite u number Of bales were
marketed several of them bringing as
high as 32 cents per pound, which is
the top thus far paid this season. 1t
IS predicted that prices will hover
around this figure all season. and with
the tremendous crop in this locality,
will mean lot of money for Carter
county farmers to spend this fall and
winter, or to place to their individual
credits in the banks of the county.
Guessing on the number of bales is
now the favorite indoor sport of those
interested in cotton.
There are a few pessisists who see
no great increase of production over
the past two or three years, but there
are others who would like to place a
little money that the wagon receipts
in Ardmore, this season, will come
very close to the 2O,OOO-bale mark. Con
servative observers, however, place
their estimates at anywhere from 49,
600 to 10000 bales, which gives quite
a latitude to their guess.

SUMMER RESORT" At
MAIN AND WASHINGTON
SLATED FOR REMOVAL

A long drawn.out wall will emanate
Washington streets within a few days
ana there will be large coterie of citl-
zens left without a place wherein to
rest their tired bodies and swap yarns
with kindred spirits when the edict in
incubation at the city hail becomes
effective, say the members Of Ardmore's s
official family.
The mayor and city commissioners
have decided that the erstwhite "oil
exchange building" located at the in.
tersection of these two thoroughfares,
must go. In other words, the city au-
thorities say it has to go in order to
give that portion of South Washington
street, between Main and First avenue,
over to cotton buyers who will invade
the city to purchase the staple from Car
ter county farmers this season. The
city officers also state that parking of
cars or any vehicle within this limit
until after cotton Is all marketed will
be forbidden.
The removal of the exchange" will
work material hardships on several cit
izens who have found it very pleas
ant place in which to spend their idle
hours, but the mayor says he feels
that Ardmore should have a cotton mar.
ket place and from long use this sec.
ton has been known as such, and he
desires to help matters as far as pos.
sible, by giving both buyers and far
mers place where they may trade.
For some time there has been an
ordinance in contemplation relative to
parking ears on certain streets, but so
far it has never been presented at any
meeting of the city commissioners. 1t
may come up tomorrow night at the
regular meeting, together with other
matters to be discussed at the time.
Speaking of a city market yesterday.
Mayor Freeman stated that there was
q growing demand for such an insti-
tuition and the city was going to be com
PEELED to act on the matter before long.
but at present there was no fund avail
able for such purposes. hence the best
makeshft possible will have to be re.
sorted to
1t has been suggested that the city
purchase the old Central Wagon Yard
and erect necessary buildings for city
market but owing to the price asked
for the property that plan seems remote

HAVE YOU SEEN MICKEY?

Have you seen Mickey" is the
paramount question with which pa
irons of Ardmore theatres are greet
ing each other today.
And those who have seen Mickey
are telling those who have not, that
it is a duty they owe themselves to
go-to see this prettiest piece Of alb
solutely clean comedy.
The plot Of the play is simple and
interesting in the extreme, beginning
at a mining camp. in the boundless
west, and ending in the nations me-
tropolis.
Each scene in the pictured story is
replete with action and numerous
laugh-producing scenes are shown,
with nothing of the slap-stick or the
crude and suggestive detracting from
the enjoyment by those who attend.
If you want to spend a really de-
lightful evening, don't fail to go to-
night to the Palace, and see the seven
reels which tell the story Of Mickey's
adventures and final triumph.
Go tonight so you may ask your
neighbor, tomorrow, Have you seen
Mickey?"

the shoe that now costs Sc would sell

WILL AROMORE GIVE.
RESIDUE 1915 FUND
TO TEXAS SUFFERERS?

The appeal Of Mayor Freeman for
contributions to relieve the south Tex.
as flood sufferers, has caused several
donations to be left with NJ German,
to be forwarded, and many others have
expressed their intention of making
substantial donations toward the relief
of the flood victims.
When Ardmore was wrecked by the
great explosion. four years ago, re
lief committee was organized to solicit
funds to be used for those who were
left in destitute condition. Through
this committee over $4,000 was col.
lected and a good portion used.
After all claims were settled it was
found by the committee that they had
ON hand a fund of approximately $4,-
600.
This sum was placed in the bank
and later government bonds were pur-
chased with it.
1t was the intention of the commit.
tee to use the income from this fund
for relief work in the state of Okla
homa whenever necessary, but to leave
the principal amount intact unless
some calamity should again befall the
city.
The policy has been adhered to up
to this time and the suggestion that
the entire amount be donated to the
gulf coast sufferers is not apt to re.
ceive the endorsement Of all of the
committee when they meet in session
tomorrow.
Rev. c. G. Weith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church and pres
dent of the committee stated this
morning that he cwas not in favor of
donating the entire amount, to the
Texas flood victims, but was willing to
give the accrued interest ON hand. He
stated that the contribution came from
Ardmore sources, and outside aid was
not sought when the calamity Of 1915
befel this city.
This committee consisted of former
Governor Lee Cruce, Rev. c. c. Weith,
president; Frank 5. Gates, Arthur
Streahley and =. C. Dings.
Rev. DR.. Weith stated this morning
that he would call meeting Of the
committee for Friday morning and
take some action ON the matter, but
until such action was taken the com
mittee could no nothing.
The committee referred to met this
count found that there was a trifle
under two hundred dollars accrued in
terest due this fund, then made up
