COTTON IN OKLAHOMA
 NEARLY TOTAL LOSS
Stock Already Being Turned Into Some Cotton Fields, D. z.
 Springer Writes.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 take this method of letting my friends know the condition of this locality at this date. We have very The only thing that saved this country is a fine corn crop, plenty of hogs and reasonable amount of milch cows. Corn will sell here for less than 25 cents per bushel. Oats have sold from 10 to 25 cents per bushel, with about 60 per cent of a crop on account of damage by con. | tinuous rains.
 But now comes the other side. The cotton question is almost something of the past. For instance, 1 have in about 70 acres of fine land, where ought to have gotten 40 bales under the seasons we have had. It will average from waist to head high and for two bales, and l don't believe you could find 100 blooms a day in it. The weevils get every square by the time it is shaped. I can find bolls half grown that have been stung 25 times There are thousands of acres in this locality that will never be gone over with sack. l think it too late here now for cotton to take a new start and make anything, as there are no forms on it at this date. So I predict it will take from 20 to 30 acres to the bale. Some have al- ready gone to turning their stock on their cotton. What pasturage they get out of it will be all of their pay for their labor.
 We have a highway through here under construction which will helr the farmers of the bool weevil district. Other work is very dull, as we have not the cash to pay for it. It looks like times are harder ahead, but we hope not.
 With best wishes to one and all
 D. z. Springer.

from oppression. In the late war
America fought not for. conquest or
aggradisement; it sought nothing that
it was not willing to share with all
the world. But it fought for defense
of nation rights, grossly assailed and
for the liberation of the world.
There was another silent battle to
be fought and that he said would be
for the supremacy of the law, for good
order and for the institutions of the
country. The wise counsel, the reso-
luton and determination of young
men, declared Judge Whitthorne,
would be needed for the solution of
these problems. He appealed to the
soldiers to take their rightful places
in the ranks of the tcitizenry of the
nation and to carry to a conclusion
the work which they have so nobly
begun.
He closed with an appeal to tls
general public to remember ever the
sacrifices of the men who fought for
them.

APPOINTED TO SUCCEED LATE
w. o. WlTHERSPooN.
VIGOROUS CHARGE GIVEN JURY
November Term Circuit Court Settles
Down to Grind This Morning--Se-
lection of Grand Jury Is First Com
pletet.
(From Mondays Daily Herald)

tFrom Mondays Daily Herald.)
After paying a glowing tribute to
the late w. o. Witherspoon, whose
duties as foreman of the grand jury
were ended by death few weeks
ago, Judge W. &. Turner this morning
appointed w d. Cooper, well known
Mt. Pleasant business man, to fill out
the uneNpired term Of Mr.. Wither-
spoon.
Judge Turner in making his selec-
ton declared that Mr.. Witherspoon
had been ever faithful in his service
to the county, and that he had made a
splendid and courageous official, and
that his death was a distinct loss to
the county Continuing the Judge de-
clarod that quite a number of splen-
did men had been suggested to him as
fitted to succeed Mr.. Witherspoon, but
that after due consideration he had
decided that Mt. Pleasant, from which
place many recent complaints Of law
lessness have come, should have the
next foreman of the jury. Continuing
the Judge said he did not make the
selection becaust he felt that Mr.. C63pe
er was better qualified or fitted to per-
form the duties of his Office than the
I2Qthers who bad been suggested to
him, but because he felt that Mt.
Pleasant, the second largest city of
theicounty,s Was entitled to that con-
sideration fsat
Other members of the grand jury
were selected as follows: T.. b. Ma
lone, district 5; Robert j. (Boby Iiar-
Ian, district .; II. U. Wakefield, dis
trict 2; f. M. Hull, district 9; w. w.
Blair, district o; r. Fl. Nicholson, dis
trict 4 ]. NJ Sowell, ST., district /;
J, w. Sharber district .; w. d. Nc
Bride, district s; J. W. Thompson, dis
trict .; Douglas Jennett, district A;
Ernest Haywood, dist1ict2 2, and with
Mr. Cooper coming from the seventh
district it is seen therefore that eV-
cry district in the county with the eX-
ceptioh Of the third and sixth is rep
resented in the personnel of the jury.
After the jury had been completed,
Judge Turner delivered a vigorous and
most exhaustive charge, covering a
