IN LOCAL FIELDS
Inclement Weather Forced a
Shutdown of Important
Operations

Operations in the fields OF Carter
county and other southern Oklahoma
areas were being resumed Saturday
following temporary shutdowns caused
by the inclement weather during the
latter part OF the week. Completion
of several deepened wells in the Hewitt

that pool. Rigging up Of important
tests in various parts Of Carter and
Love counties has been completed and
they are now planning. while pend.
ing deals on contemplated locations
are reported as progressing favorably.
Nothing new of more than ordinary
interest has developed in the Amerada
district, and the height of attention in
that area is now centered on the
drilling in Of the Amerada No. .. and
deeper drilling in the Westheimer

oil from sand at about 1856 feet and
the latter underreaming preparatory
TO going deeper in search OF sand
after missing the shallower pays.

Naval Measure
Moving Along
No Effort to Cut Enlisted Per-

Washington, Nov. 14.-Judged
by the headway made today by the
house subcommittee on appropria-
tons which will frame it next
years navy budget will sail
through unruffled seas.
There was no indication at the
close of the first hearing behind
closed doors of another fight like
that which marked the passage OF
the bill last spring. The navy de-
partment, the budget bureau and
Chairman Kelly, Of the subcommlt-
tee, conducting the hearing. were
in full accord on the enlisted per-
sonnel $4,000 and the same num-
ber of ships as are now in COM
mission. The construction program
will continue and the question OF
scrapping holds over until all the
powers have ratified the naval
treaty.
1t was understood the total ap-
preparation asked for would be in
excess of s39S, ,000,0 shown on the
face of the last bill. principally
because there was an expended bal
ance on hand of s46,0O0,000 July

struction at the time Of the arms
conference. This s46.000,0o0 was
not shown in the appropriation bill

Slow Election Returns
County Election Commissions

Reports to Board of
CanYassers

Columbia, Nov. 15-Whether
South Carolina went Democratic
in the election of last week is as
yet a matter of legal uncertainty.
though it is taken by. all South
Caroiinians that it did. However.
the results of the election have
never been declared-in fact, they
have never been reported. The law
REQUIRES that the board of election
canvassers meet within two weeks
after the election and declare the
result, and while the board will
meet next Tuesday, the last day
on which it can meet, there will
hardly be full returns in by that
time. AS yet only half dozen
counties have reported.
The board OF canvassers; is COM
posed of the secretary OF state, the
attorney general. the state treas
urer, the comptroller general, and
the chairman of the state senate
committee on elections. This COM
miltee will meet next Tuesday. but
if the returns are not all in from
the counties, it will adjourn, to
meet later at the call Of the secre-
tary of state, who is the chair
man.
The most important item Of the
election, so far as the election de-
cisions go, are the proposed con-
stitutional amendments to the state
constitution. There were thirteen
voted on. 1t is presumed that
they all carried, but it will be sew
eral days before the result is GER
tain. Most Of these amendments
were to raise the bond debt limit in
school districts, though one was
to empower the town Of Greer, in
Greenville county, to assess abut-
ting property for street improve
ments, and another would empower
the county of Beaufort to assess
property for road Improvements.
The title OF the act. providing for
the vote on the Beaufort amend
ment. did not specify that the act
was for the one county alone, and
there was some fear that voters
might think it a statewide meas
ure and vote on it according to
their own feelings, whereas it af-
fected only free-holders in the one
county.
