NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Some girls are very pretty until
they open their mouths to emit slang,
Hear the young ladies brag on how
"brown as berries" they are, with.
aa much real as an old man brags
atout his age.
It appears that the "Burning
Bush" cowd of High Point go nn
dor the name of He'y Jumpers in
Danville.
We think it is rest we are after
when we take np our summer outing,
that is those of us who find time or
have the money to do'so, bnt it is not;
it is change. It is not rest although
we think so.
Some fellow has said a boy is on
the road to ruin until he gets a
sweet heart. The good brother for
got to tell us he is on a worse mad
to tun after acquiring the wrong
kiad of a sweetheart.
The cry of the office seeker that it
is Divine call is not an unfamiliar
one, but in all history it is strange
we have no incident where any great
leader was devinely called from the
days of the American revolution.
It may be stated with some cer
tainty that lore is a mental disease
and its discussion is a timely theme
for summer time. The truth is that
love so often lacks common sense it
is hardly a misnomer to call it a
form of insanity.
Senator Simmons is much inter
ested in getting a desireable class
of immigrants. He says North
Carolina offers immediate employ
ment to 60,000 laborers, aud Mr
Simmons is doing all he can to get
them.
Those people who go to the big
city suburban pleasure resorts and
ride in the scenio trains will not be
surprised when they remember the
fierceness of the ordeal that an oc
cupant of on of these cars was killed
the other day while running seventy-
fire mile an hour.
Instead of speaking kind words
and cheering a brother on his journey
through life, there is always some
sneak, some insect, some pimple on
nature's face, trying to drag him
down. The happiest thing in life is
that these oow buncles on liberty
fail in their efforts to get sympathy
or support
Jim Hartness, Iredell county,
clever clerk, of the Superior court,
has a aw fad. He has purchased
large loonty cloth tent and pitched
it in the woods, and moved wife and
children and there are some dozen
mora or less. There the children
have a picnic every day and in a few
weeks all can return to the city im
proved by the fresh stir and exercise.
It was Col Sellara,'yes, Col Mul
berry Sellais, of Ohio, or somewhere
else he who had the eye salve for
sale saying "There's Asia with four
million people waiting to purchase,
who put a lighted candle in a stove
to produce the visible effects of fire;
so it is paint and powder obscure the
ravages of age m women and dyeing
hair and whiskers is a make believe
to the owners thereof that they are
young again.
To the person who meets new
faces almost every day, no matter
how retentive his memory, he will
soon rose interest in trying to re
member every one's name, we mean
if he has anything else to do. Do
yon have trouble in remembering
names? Certainly every one. who
sees many different faces, and it is
useless to deny, although it ia con
sidered a great crime on tb part of
many if you ever forget his same.
OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
As Seen from the Car Window
by a Representative of The
Courier.
A great many of the readers of
The Courier will remember "when
Hon Robt T Van Horn of Missouri
introduced the bill for the creation
of the Territory of Oklahoma out of
wnat was then known as Indian
Territory and they will also rameni
ber when this new Territory was
opened to white settlement.
The name "Oklahoma" which
means in Indian language "The
Land oi trie fair Uod" was furnished
by Colonel C Bnudinot, one of the
most prominent men in the Cherokee
nation, tie was an able lawyer and
an accomplished p-entleman, and
stood almost alone among the Indians
in advocating the opening of all the
snrplus lands in the Indian Territory
to wflite settlement.
I recently had the nieasnre of be
ing at the meeting of the National
Editorial Association in Guthrie.
Oklahoma and want to give the read
ers of The Conner a letter telling
them some things concerning this
new country; so will begin at the
opening of the Territory, which was
on the 32nd of April 1889, a little
over 16 years ago. At the signal,
tne Bring of cannons, tne thousands
of people who had stationed them'
selves aleng the borders made a mad
rush to stake off their land; a lot was
allowed in the sites for towns and
160 acres were allowed for a planta
tion. A great many funny things
happened of court e; one old women
drove her stake between the Sailroad
tics in what is now Oklahoma Cit?
and declared tnat it would take a
locomotive and train of cars to move
her. A man who happened to gt
bis stake on the lot that had the
only well near, was found selling
water at 5 cts per pint, he made bis
fortune before the Government
officials found it out; of course they
bad to stop this to prevent suffering.
It was necessary to put up tents, huts
or dog a storm cellar as soon as pos
sible so that they could identify
their property. In a rood many
cases contests were held to find the
rightful owner, sometimes a murder
followed. Now you find every one
settled and interested in bis own
affairs; the towns and cities full of
beautiful homes and all kinds f
business going on that you find in
our own towns and cities. In the
country you find neat little homes;
usually you see four homes together,
this means that four families have
ut their homes in the corners of
60 acres in order to have neighbors
and this seem necessary, for in some
parts of the Territory you go for
miles withont seeing a house and
along the railroad see herns of cattle
and wonder where the keoper lives
and how he ever gets out to see them
They li ve all the year in these past
ures often in the dry seasons they
almost suffer for water where there
no stream they dig out reservoirs
and rain fills them. It is said that
this land produces prairie grass until
is once cultivated and then never
does well, so some land is always re
served for grazing purposes. In
passing through this prairie country
ou gaze for miles and only see little
unches of trees, tnese are not near
enough together for cattle to be
sheltered from the sun and rain.
We agree with the Oklahoma people
that their country is almost like a
Fairy land except that the trees are
missing and in order to make it this
we would be willing to seud them
some of our ttanuoipn county
sprouts," but without joking
further they have a rich and fertile
agricultural country and can raise
enough to feed one half of tho United
States in the confines of this territory;
seems that everytning that is put
out grows te perfection and now al
most everytuiog ia oeing inea.
I'eople have gone from every state
in the Union to this new field and
have put their shoulders to the wheel
and in a few short years have put
on a par with any of the older
states unless we except our own,
North Carolina.
As I said in the beginning, the
the National Editorial Association
met at Guthrie, the Capital of
Oklahoma, it is a beautiful city, with
population of over 20,000. It is
reached by nine railways, has an up
date Street cr service, sewerage.
electric lights and all modern con
veniences. Seven large brick scnool
buildings, containing from twelve to
twenty rooms, each, supply ample
opportunity for all school youth and
Oklahoma children to go to school.
Besides, there is a county nigh school
building, erected at a cost of $50,000,
rin to all pupils of county schools
the county, who have passed the
eighth grade.
Tne fact mat ner percen lace of
illiteracy is only about four per cmt
and less than in thirty-seven of the
states of the Union, speakes volume
for the educational privileges of
Oklahoma.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr Frank II Greer founder of Tne
Oklahoma Stats Capital who is one
of tbe most popular men in the
Twin Territories. He founded the
State Capital Aoril 22. 1889. the
day of the Great Opening. He
struck the territory with $29, started
tne Diate uapiuu in a lent, me nrsi
paper published in the territory. At
noon on .Easter Sunday Marcs 60,
1902 the entire plant was destroyed
by fire, at noon on Monday, the next
day, the people of Guthrie had raised
$50,000 and offered it as a bonus to
Mr Greer to re-establish the plant.
He refused it as a bonus but accepted
it as a 6-year 6 per cent loan. To
day he ho. a $300,000 publishing
plant, the finest in Oklahoma. Two
Randolph county boys C E and G A
Blair are connected with this news
paper; they are pleased with Okla
homa life and we hear Oklahoma
people arc pleased with them. After
tho National Editorial Association
meeting had. closed the party of 600
members were taken over the two
territories. The first stop was at Enid.
One of the Illinois Editors died sud
denly just before we got here, bis
body was removed from the cars
while the party song "Le id Kindly
Light." This was the only thing
that happened on the trip that
brought sadness. At inid we had
a reception at the Elks' Club Room,
aud heard Judge Wittingdale, who
was a very clever talker and salt)
that Oklahoma served as happy
medium between Texas and Kansas
and that he had heard that the
Kansas people when they got over
the Texas line were at once seized
with the feeling that they were
obliged to shoot something and oh
the t'ther hand that the Texans al
ways knew when they were over the
Kansas line because they lelt that
they must steal something. In tbe
close of his address he assured the
editors that Oklahoma needed state-
hood and insisted that each one do!
all in his power to help them.
We left fluid at l'i o clock at;uioou. Approximately one-third of
night and early the next morning
found ourselves in Snyder, whsre
th"y hod tbe great cyclone a few
weeks age. We saw the effects of it.
homes were literally taken out of
sight and splinters of lumber still
cover some portions of the town. We
were told that human beings were
found 3 or 4 miles sway.
Our train was delaved and we
didn't get to Law ton until 12 o'clock,
June 10th, due there at 8 a. m. as
there was no dining car on, there
were 600 hungry people. After the
meal (1 hardly knew what to eall it)
we saw the prosperous young city,
from a small square card, presented
to each of the party: "You should
see Lawton, a 3 year old city, 10,000
population. Metropolis of southern
Ukianoma."
On tbe reverse side were these
words: "We have seen Lawton aud
its splemfid shools and churches,
mills, cotton gins and factories, com
plete water works with clear, soft,
mountain spring water; Fort Sill
with U. S. Soldiers; Wichita Moun
tain National Park, oil, gas, and
mineral deposits; U. S. Government
schools; splendid country and rich
soil. Best people ou earth."
A drill was "given for our benefit
at Fort Sill. We also saw Gcronimo
an old Indian chief who has Veen a
prisoner of war for 16 years. He
Las the reputation of having killed
more people than anyone ou record
and in war was one of the most cun
ning planners. Some gentleman
told us he bad seen a coat made of
human scalps that had beeu lifted
by him. He is au old dried np look
ing fellow, said to be 100 years eld
or more. It is said be will be given
his freedom next year, a great many
seem think this is unwise.
When we arrived at El Reno it
was raining, so we missed the enter
tainment there, but hear it is keep
ing pace with the other Oklahoma
cities and towns.
Next came Oklahoma City, which
is the largest city in the Territory
and when we realize what they have
accomplished in 16 years, we can
hardly believe our own eyes, people
simply have to see it. It is described
that "Wonderful lity where tney
do things." The National Editorial
Association can testify to this, for
even in the pouring rain they enter
tained us with a most elegant lunch-
een, gave us ticket to the theatre ,
and other things were planued for
our pleasure, but the rain prevented. '
Sixteen years ago Oklahoma City was !
a barren prairie. She now has 35,-
000 population, 23 miles of street,
railway, 1U miles asp nan streets ana !
78 miles brick aud cement walks.
Beside evervthinir els that would I
remind one of the cities in the older
states.

besides announcing the fact that

Lotus Fair, with a great deal of
pride.
Before leaving Indiun Territory I
want to say that it is not the Indian
Territory of years ago, instead of
that there are six whites to one
Indian. The dav of "the bright
colored blanket Indian" has passed.
Some one has said that there is about
"95,000 citizen ih the five civilized
tribes in the territory. About 6,000
of these arc absolutely white, by
I reason ot intermarriage, while nearly
; 23,000 are negroes, who were the
slaves, or descendants of slaves, of
tbe Indians, leaving about 65,000
I people who aro actually of ludhn
the 65,000 are full-bloeds who would
come within the common Eastern
designation of an Indian. The
others do not look at all like
Indians."
On the 4th of March 1906 the
tribal relations of the Cherokees,
Chickasaws, Creeks Chocktaws and
Semi noles are to b dissolved. They
will have their portion of land
(which is 40 acres to the person) al
lotted them and then be put on their
own responsibility, in more familiar
terms they will nave to "root bog or

man was m town just after "pay

and in a few days came driving in
bringing the squaw and sevoial

Some have built very comfortable
homes but prefer living out of doors
and put their ponies in their houses.
I heard of several Indian girls who
had beeu well educated, but on re
turning to their people would return
to wild life again.
Miller Brother's 101 ranch enter
tainment on Sunday June 11th was
worth a trip from North Carolina to
see. There weie 80,000 people whe
witnessed the chose of 50 buffaloes
by the Indians, the parade of real
Indians and cowboys, tbe roping nf
wild steers, trick tiding, the wonder
ful negro, Pickett, throwing a wild
steer with his teeth, the cowboys and
and girls in a horseback quadrille
and Miss Lucile Mnlhall, who rode
a "bucking bronco," roped steers as
easily as did the men, etc. This
ranch contains 87,000 acre" of laud,
10,000 of which is under cultivation.
The balance is uied for grazing pur
poses. The farming is done, almost
entirely by machinery. To give an
idea of magnitude of implements used
there was on exhibition one of their
traction engine and gang plows.
The engine is 25 horse power with
16 discs each of which cuts a furrow
14 inches. These plows are run
both d-iy and night and it is said will
Slow 40 acres of land in 12 hours,
'no of the men who used this engine
said that during one harvest they
threshed 5,500 acres of wheat which
yields 107,300 bushels. This woik
was done in the day time and during
the night another force of hands
used the same machine and plowed
2,000 ucres of laud. This Miller
Brothers' 101 ranch is said to be the
largest ranch in America. It is
wnnin a vane uiuiuu reservation, aim
their right of occupancy is acquired
by long-time lease from Indians. It
appears there Is a law providing that
npon the death of an Indian his
heirs may, in settlement of his estate,
sell the land allotted to him, and the
purchaser gets a patent from the
government. In this way the Miller
Brothers have acquired an absolute
to about twelve thousand acres.

OUR RALEIGH LETTER.
What Criminal Raleigh is Do
ing Dewey Gets Six Years
A. H. Eller Second Treas
N. C. Railroad.
Raleich. N C. Jnlv 10. 1905.
The July term of Wake Superior
uourc began its work to-day. The
principal case to be tried is set for
Friday that of the State vs. Ray
mond D Ilynum, indicted for the
killing of his business partner.
deacon J li Alford, last December.
He will be tried for murder, but
whether he can be convicted on that
charge remains to be developed by
me evidence auuuceu.
The defence claims that the shoot
ing was done while the two men were
engaged in a physical "scuffle," and
there are witnesses who have made
statements to that effect. It
claimed by some of the friends of the
deceased (so it is stated) that the
"souffle was the result of the dis
covery by Alford that Bynum had a
piatol and that the deceased, fearing
that his partner (with whom a con
troversy had previously arisen) in
tended to attack him. grappled with
him.
Bvnum ifl said to have been crazed
by hard and long continued drinking,
and when he was captured and
brought bock to Raleigb, a week
after the killing, ha was in a most
distressing condition, both mentally
and physically. It is claimed that
he was assisted by friends in getting
away from Raleigh, but that after
they left him he did not have sense
enough left ts take auvantage of
opportunities to make good his es
cape. The fact that he went to his
ola home in Gates county rjnd was
arrested at the borne of his sister,
where his mother was stoppiug, is
cited by bis friends as evidence of
The Kafc'gh policeman, Isaac W
.Rogers, will not be tned at this term
for the shooting of Deputy U S Mar
shal, John Dockery, for the reason
that the hitter's physicians are not
yet able to state definitely whether
Dookery will recover. His condition
has improved during the last week,
however, and it is now thought that
his life will be saved. But the pis
tol balls have not been extracted yet
aud lie is still in a serious condition.
Rogers is still in jail and has not
yet had a preliminary hearing.
Claude JSernard, tbe man who has
figured so prominently in the scandal
that caused the shooting of Dockery,
has not returned to Raleigh and the
prospects ef his voluntary return
any time soon seem to be very doubt
ful. II e was in Norfolk, Va, last
Friday and Saturtlay and an alleged
interview with him was telegraphed
to the newspapers her, in which he
was reported to have nsed some very
"saucy" language about the people
of Raleigh and the newspapers of
north Carolina, lie refused to dis
close his future plans or movements
and it is probable that he will give
Raleigh a wid" berth for some time
to come. Process in the civil suit
against him can not be served while
he remains out of the estate.
But if the grand jury of Wake
Superior Court, now in session here.
should indict Bernard for a criminal
offence he can be arrested and
brought Wk to Raleigh. Whether
that will be done remains to be seen.
Aaothcr case that is attracting
general attention, and which will be
disposed of at this term of court, is
that of tho two men (Rogers and
Sorrcll) who are now completing a
30-days' term in jail, for contempt
of com t, growing out of the Gattis
vs rvilgo and Duke civil suit, which
was tried last monfh, resulting in
the non-suiting of the plaintiff Gat
tis. An effort will be made, it is
understood, to still further punish
these men for the same offense, on
the charge of "embracery." What
will actually be done about tha mat
ter can not be anticipated.
The prisoners themselves and all
the attorneys for Messrs Kilgo and
Duke have already sworn that Rog
ers and Sorrel 1 were not employed
in any capacity in the civil suit and
that they were not authorizixl in any
manner to do anything in connectsou
with that case. lhis evidence,
coupled with the additional state
ment of the men that they acted en

his eloquent speech in which he so
beautifully and earnestly portrayed
the real and true character and life
of )r Kilgo, it is the great men,
who actually and actively do things
and accomplish great and beneh
cietit results, who encounter opposi
tion and attract enemies.
