February 10th is Our Birthday
We will then round out ten years of earnest
effort in the upbudina of Tulsa
1t will be day of Thanksgiving TO us. AS
we look back the busy hours since the birth of the
Exchange National on February 9th, 1910, we find
much cause for thankfulneSS.
They have been interesting and remarkable
years for Tulsa and the Exchange.
Born from the wreck of the largest bank
failure in Oklahoma history the Exchange has 9rOwntO
be one OF the 100 largest banks in the United States
At the close of business February 10th,
1910 the Exchange National proudly announced that
it's first day OF business had brought total of $4O4
GAIA in deposits and total resources of $634,17414
Compare the figures of 1910 with the
$37OOO,OOO.OO resources of the Exchange National
and the Exchange Trust today Figures, however, tell
but small portion of the story. Behind then and the
cause for them is record of WOnderOuS business
friendship and devotion to the interests of the EX-
change gladly given by our many thousand friends.
The past ten years saw some stirring times
Some of these years contained the days of 3Ocent oil
when there were few buyers and oil credits
looked upon with suspicion by most bankers.
The Exchange always has believed in oil
and in oil men. From this faith of early days
of the friendships which make the Exchange of
of friends far of the nation they keep their
homes in Tulsa and call the Exchange THEIR bank.
There is always good reason for all
things We credit the present day Exchange in great
the friends made those early days when oil banking
trial To them and the thousands who them
during the later of prosperity give all the credit
We appreciate this loyalty and our direct
Ors officers and employees continually strive to show
their appreciation in practical ways
We realize what great trust our 10000
and more patrons have imposed in by giving into
than $37OoOOO0OO We realize that such

QUITEST CAMPAIGN
IN MANY YEARS

The present political campaign in
Chesterfield County is said to be the
quitest one in years. While there
seem to be no lack of interest, so
much harmony exists among the can
didates and the voters that very lit
tie excitement, so far, has been in
evidence. A few personalities were in
dulged in at one or two of the early
meetings, but matters adjusted them
selves and smoothc sailing has con
tinued since.
Friday morning the candidates will
appear at Patrick and on Friday
night at Chcraw. The campaign will
close with the meeting at Chesterfield
Saturday. All is in READINGS for the
election on next Tuesday.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE RATIFIED

Governor Roberts, of Tennessee
has certified by mail to Secretary of
State Colby, Tennessee's ratification
of the Woman's Suffrage Amend
ment. Tennessee being the last state
necessary to make two-thirds of the
United States ratifying this meas
are, 1t Is expected that within twen-
ty-four hours the proclamation will
be issued from Washington announc-
ing that the amendment has passed
and that women are enfranchised.
Governor Roberts would have sent
this notification to Secretary Colby
several days ago, but the anti-suffra-
S'S'S mad secured temporary in
.netion restraining him from so do
ing. This injunction was dissolved
iuesd1y night and the Governor i'm
medlatciy forwarded the notice to
Washington.
Ihe ants claim that he passage
- nc amendment was irreralar hut
INC advice OF the Attorney General
'' the United States is - The effect
nat the ratification is fully legal. It
Us expected that the foes of female
suffrage Will make some effort

and in this o. come other wav nre-
vent tn" women f.o.I voting in the
coming primaries, V here % ,aration
has a!cady been made fo. the Wo-
mans vote.
The women of South Carolin, ,vil,
"oI |I prf"Ittcd 20 vote in the pri-
marlcS, owing to the fact that sta
tutc controlling enrolment for the
PRIMARIES states that "men shall NOT
enroll after the last Tuesday in Ju-
w. In this the word "men" is taken
10 mean voter, whether male or fe-
male, thus precluding the possibility
OF the women enrolling.
In a majority of states where sur.
fragc is not already in effect tba
elections are held later and in others
provision has already been made for
he female vote.
III IS pretty generally conceded
mat the women will vote in the COM
ing presidential election throughout
he lans.
1t is also probable that the women
d South Carolina will vote for Cox

FlSHERMEN'S LUCK

McSsrs. w. a. Rivers, Shay Nee.
han and Dr. Zimmerman went fishing
last week and had a rather peculiar
experience. They each caught one
fish. The doctor caught IA little one,
Mr.. Meehan caught a very large one
and Mr.. Rivers caught a medium siz-
ed one. When ready to start tor home
the three fish were placed in a buck
ct of water on the running board of
the car. When nearing town one of
the fishermen chanced to glance into
the bucket just in time to see Mr..
Rivers fish swallow the fish of DR..
Zimmerman. While Messrs Rivers
and Mcehan were having good
laugh at the expense of the doctor
Mr.. Meehan's fish gulpcd down the
fish of Mr.. Rivers. All three men were
much amazed at the peculiar and
somewhat rude behavior of these
canibalistic members of the finny
u IDc when Cne Il OIlleS was
reached. This piece of road was
somewhat smoother than usual
and for that reason and also
because of the argument that was
going on as to how to divide the re-
naming fish, Mr.. Rivers, who was
driving, failed to slow down in the
midst of an argument the car went
into one of these holes for which the
Cheraw-Chcstertied road is Justly
famous. The fishermen all .bunrcd
their heads on the roof, but Mr.. Fish
had no roof to strike. He scared up
ward like a fiying-fsh and landed in
one of the deep pools in the middle of
the road. The owners of all three fish
spent some time fishing in the pool,
but finally gave it up and returned
home. Dr., Zimmerman, who is not
Vcry familiar with the habits Of fish,
Is of the opinion that the fish was
drowned. MessrS. Mechar and Rivers
would not give any account of their
but Dr. Zimmerman. who
was leaving town, let it get out.

Mr.. HURST IMPROVES
MAIN STREET

For the past two days Mr.. John T.
| Hurst has been busisly engaged in
filling up holes in the street in the
vicinity of his home. These holes have
not only been a nuisance to traffic
but an annoyance to most of the
residents of the neighborhood. The
sound of cars striking these places at
all hours of the day and night has
proved very disturbing to the usually
quiet and peaceful section of the
town. Mr.. Hurst shows commend
able determination and sets a fine ex-
ample, but it is realized that his re-
pairs are of the same temporary ma
ture as those made by the county
malntenane department.. Many DAYS
of work was done on Main street
very recently. This work resulted in
a smoothe and really delightful
street for several weeks, in fact that
part of Main street that was improv-
ed is still in the best condition it had
been in for years, but it is beginning
to show signs of its impermanency.
In places ruts and holes are develop
ing and it is only question of few
weeks until there will be little or no
effect of the late improvement.
The roads in the county have be-
come almost impossible and in some
instances quite so. On last Friday ev-
ening traffic was delayed between
here and Cheraw by cars actually
stuck in the mud The road over the
culvert recently installed near the
"Follies" is fast sinking and is posi-
lively dangerous to cross.
There are holes in various spots
between this culvcrt and the bridge
that in wet weather are covered with
water and thus unknown to those who
do not frequently travel the road.
This stretch is disgrace to present
day civilization.
The Advertiser maintains that
there is but one way to cheaply nd
somewhat permanently repair our
roads. That way is to use gravel for
surfacing. The county abounds in
gravel pits. In fact gravel may be had
for the taking. The county is main
tanning a number of trucks and sew
eral crews of men and chain gang
All of these are wasting time and
money throwing dirt into holes and
scratching off bumps. The dirt re-
mains but few days and the bumps
appear again almost before the crew
disappears from sight.
z A steam shovelis a necessity. One
shovel will dig gravel and load wag-
ons at the rate at which 80 men
would do the same work. Two men
can operate the machine They are
not expensive. With one of these ma
chimes added to our present equip
ment many miles Of gravel road
could be built in few months for
the same amount of money that is
now being wasted on temporary re-
pairs, that in some cases do not last
over night.

LAY-EY SCHOOLS ARE
DOING GREAT WORK

Over four hundred pupils are at
tending the summer schools in Ches.
terfeld County.
The youngest scholar is ID and the
oldest is rs.
Very few of these earnest people
could read or write two weeks ago
Today all of the four hundred can
write their names and addresses,
thus removing the blot Of illitcracy
from their good names. Not only
have they learned to write their
names and addresses, but nearly all
have learned to write intelligent let
tiers and to read. 4 large plumber
have taken up arithmetic and are
making progress that astonishes their
teachers.
This is the most important work
that is being carried on in the state or
the county at the present time and
Chesterfield County owes deep debt
of grattiturc to those in charge of
the state and local work Mss vii
Lou Gray, State Organizer, has ac-
complished wonders by so systematic
ing the work that the county organiz-
ers have been able to show such ex-
cellent work.
County superintendent J. A.
knight and County Organizer, Miss
Fanny M. Pearcy, have worked in
defatigably and the teachers through
out the section are deserving of the
highest praise for their unseiih de-
votion to this grand movement.
There have been many interesting
and touching Incidents in connection
with the adult schools. In one class
are man and wife, each in the neigh
borhood of IS years Of are. The en-
thusiasm of this old couple is,,beauti-
full to behold. Their delight when
they discovered that they could real
ly learn to read and write was like
that of children receiving new and
unexpected toys at Christmas. A new
life is opened up to them and their
declining years will be filled with
happiness that they never knew of
before.
A young man of II. whose illit-
crate -parents had never sent bir, Tn
school, was persuaded to attend once
"just to see how easy it is" Ee was
sure that he was not briwht enough
to learn, but he went. In two weeks
this boy has learned to read and
write. His aptitude was almost as
toniahing to his teacher and ne now
declares that he is going to attend
regular school beginning with the fall
Germ, and he says he is going to 90
through high school before he stops.
A man of 70, who had thought .hat
"book learning" was beyond his men
tai powers, has made such progress
that he says he is going to continue
studying until he passes the seventh
grade.
The following letter addressed to
Miss Will Lou Gray from grateful
pupil, is typical of many:

FOR BETTER FAIR
Efforts Being Made in Fairfield for
Extensive Exhibits.

The State.
Winnsboro, Oct. S.-Preparations
are being made to have the biggest
and best Fairfield county fair this
fall in the hisory Of the Fairfield
Agricultural society, and from pres
ent prospects the exhibits will be
larger in every department. The
fair will be held November 3, 4
and 5.
The farmers are taking an un-
usual interest in the fair this year
and from present indications the ag-
ricultural features will surpass all
previous efforts in this line, both
from standpoint of variety and
merit. It is the aim of the society
to stimulate and encourage this par
