COMMERCIAL CLUB
EXPANSION PLAN
ENTHUSIASTIC TEAM CAPTAINS
IN BANQUET PLAN TO BUST
ALL RECORDS FOR NEW
MEMBERSHIP

The bunch Of men who have been
selected as team captains for the
membership and expansion campaign
Of the Commercial Association, had
an enthusiastic supper meeting last
night in the Association rooms and
formulated their plans to break all
records for new members and ex-
pansion.
After the supper had been served,
Chairman Hayes of the Executive
Committee explained the plan of the
campaign and the need for a larger
budget for the ensuing year.
His explanation met the views of
those present and it was the unamious
opinion that Durant should be willing
to pay more now for a successful or
ganization which had done so much
for the community in SO many ways.
At present the organization is oper-
ating with the same finances that it
had three years ago, which in view
OF increased cost of everything are
now sadly inadequate.
The team captains are, S. C. Bos-
well. Ed Clark, E. J. Caple, R. v.
Hiltibrand, v. f. Kendall, B. A. Nc
Kinney, Fred Lowry, J. R. Mckinney,
N. c. Mhoon, Geo. Pendleton, w. E.
Rhoades, o. r. Salmon, s. w. Stone,
w. 8. Williams, A. Zumwalt, H. G.
Bennett, Ed Speairs, B. G. Brown,
H. L. Cox, F. H. johnson, Horace
Marshall, o. w. Mattison, w. F. PEN
dleton, A. P. Russell, E. W. Stewart,
Green Thompson, w. F. Tyree and
s. A. Whale.
All of these gentlemen, present at
the meeting, pledged themselves to
devote their time and energies to put
ting the campaign across, and were
enthusiastic for the plans for making
the organization greater and stronger.
Each of the captains will select
four team mates and each team thus
created will solicit the list of pros
poets assigned the team.
The solicitation campaign will not
take place until the big annual meet
ing and banquet of the association to
which all present and prospective
members will be invited.
This banquet is to be held during
the coming week.

Mr.. McPherrpn also announces that
it is the purpose of the Bryan County
Good Roads Association to secure at
the hands of the next State legisla-
ture legislation that will enable the

being assured that this can be ac-
complished in the forthcoming session
of the legislature.
If everything runs smoothly from
now on, and the local fights over the
proposed routes are cleared away as
there is ample propect they will be,
actual construction of Bryan County's
system of hard-surfaced roads is but
a short way in the future, and the

are soon to see their dreams come
true and their long standing ambi-

that Federal Aid for Bryan County

BOND ISSUES ARE
AS YET NOT SOLD
THE WATER AND SEWER BONDS
NOT SOLD ALTHOUGH SOME
$4,000 HAVE BEEN EN-
PENDED ON WORK

The Water Bond and the Sewer
Bond issues of the city of Durant
have had rough shedding ever since
the first inception of the project to
float them. In the beginning, acting
in accordance with the advice Of the
Attorney General of the State the
water bonds and sewer bonds were
voted upon together and made into
one bond issue, water and sewer
bonds. After that was done the At
torney General refused to approve the
bonds saying that he had made a
mistake or been misunderstood in the
matter before the bonds were voted
upon.
A second election was then held
about three months ago and the prop
Ositions were voted upon separately
and both the bond issues were author
ized. The bonds were printed and
approved by the Attorney General,
after which the bonds were contracted
for by Pearsall e. Co., Of Oklahoma
City. The sale was made, of course,
subject to the approval of the State
Attorney General and the attorney
for Pearsall & Co., Before the bonds
were delivered the bond market took
a slump and the attorney for Pear
sail & Co. proceeded to find "flaw"
in the bonds. Inasmuch as the bonds
have been approved by the Attorney
General of the State and time limit
in which they may be contested $50
days) having expired, the bonds are
incontestable and are as good as gold.
The contemplated work upon the
sewer system .and water works has
not been delayed by the jinx that has
been sitting on the bond issues and
about $4,000 has been expended in
anticipation of the sale of the bonds.
Mayor Speairs informed a represen-
tative of this paper that he antici-
ipated that the rough road the bonds
have been compelled to travel was
about at an end, that negotiations
for the disposal of them was progress
sing all o. X. and that the deal would
probably be closed within very few
days.

KEEP MINE REGION QUIET
Fifteen Deputies on Guard Along
West vlrgina. Kentucky Border

Williamson, w. Va, July S.--Fif-
teen special deputies were sworn in
here late yesterday by Judge Damron,
Of the Circuit Court, and rushed to
Borderland, on the West Virginia Ken :
lucky line, where miners of the Border
land Coal Co. were fred upon by un-
identified persons yesterday morning.
Reports from Borderland today indi- :
cate the situation is quiet. The dep
uty sheriffs, led by Deputy j. T.. Webb,
are on guard duty.
Authorities here announced last night
their reports showed none of the Bor :
derland miners were wounded during
the shooting. The miners were fred
upon as they were entering a mine on
the Kentucky side Of Tug river. The
shooting came from a mountain on the
West Virginia side of the line. In ad :
dition to directing their fire at the
miners the assailants sent shots at the
company tipple, on the West Virginia
side.
The Borderland miners returned the
fire, raking the hillside where the at :
tackers were ambushed. 1t is not
known IL any member of the attacking
party was killed or wounded.
