Dendy mid Clem Watkins * * In the New Stute. ******** ** ***** Cordell, Okla., Nov. 15.-Dear Old Courier: Please let me write you, In my humble way, a few Unes. You are the first newspaper I ever saw. You were first publlthed, so far as I now know, on the banks of that beauti ful, sparkling, rippling, clear river, "Keowee." Think of that soft, musi cal Indian name! To me It sounds like soft, sweet music, or the singing of a delicate bird. You came to my childhood home away back in 1849 and the fifties; you were tho only paper then publisher in historic old Pickens District; >\>u came to my mother's house on the back of old Uncle Harve Hughes. He walked from Pickens Court House and car ried you on to Richland, Bounty Land and to old Bachelor's Retreat. Poor old man-ho has long since crossed over the river. You are now transported all over this great coun try by the great Southern railroad; West, you top the great 'Frisco and Rock island Bystem at the great iron city of America, Birmingham, Ala.; then I am pleased to meet you, as an old friend, out here in this wild Western new State-to-be. On to-mor row, the 16th day of November, she will join the great Union of States, which makes us the American Em pire. Now, young editors, with Messrs. Clem - Watkins, A. P. Holden and family, I am In Cordell, the county seat of Washlta county, Oklahoma. This county ls 4 2 miles long and 30 miles wide, and has 22,065 popula tion; lt is cosmopolitan-fine look ing people from all the States. Clem Watkins says lt looks good to him; Pick Holden 'says it looks good to him; I say it ls the best all-round farming and stock-raising land on this earth. That is what I think of these Oklahoma and Washlta county lands. Well, now, dear reader, I will prove to you that what I say ls so. I simply want to write nothing but tho truth. These good Washlta coun ty people don't want me to misrep resent them. The farming lands of this county will grow to perfect per fection, to a money paying invest ment, the following products; 1 will give nine of them. They are ns fol lows: Cotton, wheat, corn, alfalfa, kafflr corn, milo maze, oats, cowpeas, sorghum. I say these nine products go to help clothe and feed all man kind-go to feed all the beasts and birds of the earth. All these agri cultural money-paying crops grow here without any Irrigation or with out any fertilization of any sort or kind. 1 find no government survey ors laying out dams to irrigate these Heids as we read of our farther West; they don't need it. The great God of all divine creation has seen fit to implant in the bosoms of these vast plains all the humus, oxygen and ni trogen that these farm products re quire. Ile will do no more; it is for mau to do the rest. 1 don't own any of these fine lands; I wisli I did. You tell me the Englishman, German and French manufacturers are going to raise cotton In Egypt, In India, in Africa. There is no man on earth who can make it cheaper than these men of America. I, with my friends Watkins and Holden, have walked and waded through cotton rows one half mlle long which will make one half to three-quarters to one bale per acre-some of lt worked one, .some ' twice, and some three times and gone. Xo use In writing more. I will not ."?ste this paper in making this feeble attempt to do this country just ice. I saw a colt-what they call a yearling-in town this week that weighed one thousand and ten pounds. G. C. Long bought this colt. Clem Watkins will, 1 think, side line two line quarter sections of this land. Clem says a man don't need any more. Lands are going higher here all the time. They are well worth what they hring now, and will never be cheaper again. The banks are simply frozen up here; plenty of money in them, but not paying out any now. Cotton ls worth 9'/J cents here to 10 cents, middling hasis. There are about 700 l?ales now at the depot here, well covered with hagging and in line con dition. . Clem W. and I have just taken dinner with Mrs. Holden and Pick. They are very well fixed and are keeping house. They have rented three rooms from a Methodist min ister. They say they have never been better treated anywhere, and I think they will be well satisfied. This is Saturday and there are lots of Indians in town. I have been talk ing to some of them and will give you the names of a few I met: The old warrior, Cloud Chief; Lone Wolf, Cornalla, Big How, Little Bow, Spot ted Bird, Bob-Tail Wolf. Old Liz.-.rd. Old Roman N'ose, Old Two Ba iles. Old Cloud Chief said to me: "Come to my set-down, eat woona; heap good chuckaway," and so on. I thanked them, but I did not go. These Indians belong to the great tribes as follows: Cheyenne, Arapa hos, Klawas, Comanches, Apa?as and Caddos. They all look curious and solemn and sad to me. They are not men without a country, but the white man has them entirely subjugated and they are quiet and well behaved. Old Jim Scabbyhcad came up and shook hands with me last. He Is a typical man, and they all look as If they are the decendants of the great Asiatic races. . have not seen a black man (a negro) since i came to Washlta county. I learn there is not a negro In this county. The white men do not allow them to stop hore or in any of these near counties, if n negro stops in this county they tell him to "Mike." Ile does lt with all his might. He heads for Texas or Arkansas, am. that ls the last of him. Mr. Watkins and I were invited out to (i. C. Long's place. He is a good old Tennessee man. We walked across a fifty-acre field of i^at. Ile fold us he made this spring M : bush els fo the acre, and his crop amount ed to 1,700 bushels. He sold this wheat at $1 per bushel at the mills here in town. Mis cotton will make, he says, :>j ot a hale to the acre, lb has about eighty fine hogs, and is now grazing twenty-two head of liorsrs on his fall wheat. This wheat looked to me and Clem W. to be like our wheat ls about the middle of May. Their wheat and alfalfa are nice; horses, cattle and hogs are llv ang well on lt. Plenty of men cut their alfalfa Ave and six times a year, and then turn their stock on lt to graze. I will ask you young editors to please quote what Senator Champ. Clark, of Missouri, guys about this great prohibition State of Oklaho ma. I can't do it full justice. He comes near lt. The eloquent Champ. Clark, looked on Oklahoma and ex claimed: "The garden of the Gods! A marvel of nu man industry, col loBsal monument to the Ameri can love of home. A model, pro gressive Commonwealth, the . last to be called from the mag nificent empire w ilea Jofferson bought of Napoleon for a song an empire greater in possibili ties than that over which the Mad Macedonian waved his ever advancing banner, or over which the Hornau eagles flew when the Seven Hilled City was mistress of the world." To my great surprise I found and met our old townsman, William K. Bryce, whom I thought was dead and in heaven. He is here doing well and has money in the bank, but says he can't draw it out now. He looks well. Billy remins me of the dark days of reconstruction in old South Carolina In 1876. There we fought it out to a death, but are still good friends now, and we were glad to see him in this fine, prosperous coun ty. Billy is a brother of the late Alexander and Morgan Bryce. My keri wish ls may he prosper. I have received since I got to Cor dell a very kind letter of invitation to visit my old schoolmate, my hunt ing friend, my old comrade and Con federate soldier friend, and one of the old red shirt redeemers of South Carolina In 187 6-John Ben Ab bott, of Weatherford, Texas. Also a kind letter of Invitation to visit my old South Carolina friend, M. Stokes Strlbllng, at Temple, Okla. I thank both of you. gentlemen, for these kind expressions of old-time hospi tality, but on account of sickness In my family Mr. Watkins and I will leave for our homes In South Caro lina on next Monday. I very much regret that my son is no bette*.*, and will leave for home at once. Now, young editors of the old Keo wee Courier, If you think this hastily written letter worth your attention, you can imbi ?sh lt; otherwise you can cast it, with other trash, into your waste basket, and "all will be well." S. K. Dendy. P. S.-Now, Messrs. Editors, think of a wild Western Territory like Ok lahoma, "The Beautiful Land," going for prohibition. Voting old red li quor out on the first round before heing. admitted Into the Union of States ls a high compliment to her citizenship. lt ls even better than most of the old States have done In years past and gone. The b.'oody days of the outlaw have passed. The days of Jesse James, of the Bill Cooks, of the Bob Daltons, of the Burt Caseys, are here no more. They did business In all this country, but they are gone, and I hope forever. They keep no night watchmen here and lock no doors. All ls peace and plenty. What a line county! S. K. D.

One of the most inhuman and bar barlous acts ever heard of took place on the Main street of Seneca last Sat urday. A stranger, said to be on his way home on the Georgia side of the river, literally tore the tongue out of the mouth of the horse he was driv ing. As authentic a report as can be gotten is to the effect that the horse was seen to balk, which greatly an gered the Inhuman drive**, who there upon alighted from the buggy and proceeded to i vtrnct, by main force, the horse's i . -jue. When last seen he was driving the said horse in the direction of home. lt is the most outrageous, infam ous and barbarlous act we ever heard (?f belan perpetrated on a dumb brute and the guilty scoundrel, whoever he may be, should be sought out, and, il" possible to get him, he should be made to pay the penalty as provided by the law in such cases. Such acts should and do arouse the indignation ol' good people. in this case we es pecially hope that the authorities will make an effort to bring the man to justice and punish him to the full extent of the law.

If anybody wants the contents of the safe be longing to this editor, he ls respect fully asked not to break it. Know ing that professional gentlemen can get into it about as easy as the av erage citizen can get Into a cigar box, we leave it open to prevent the necessity of breaking lt. We don't keep any money in it. Ii" we should get a little money, we either hide lt, pay debts with it, or deposit lt In bank. We would not think of leav ing money in our safe. Not so lonj, ago, we received a little money when it was too late to dispose of it. We put it in an old Bible and hid the Bible.

C., Nov. 19.-Editors Courier: Another State Fair has passed a id a lot of records were broken. "The largest and best na tured mob of them all" came and went, r.ud I must say the most sober. Our plko did its share in handling the people-from four to six hun dred at a clip-and save two fully loaded colored ladies, all was peace. Nearly all the cotton in this neck of the wends is out, ? nd can be seen piled about farm houses. There is no rush tc nut it on the market, and no railroad nere is doing by one third the work it did last year this time. You ask why? It's plain enough. Most farmers do not have to sell their cotton. They have grub at home and to spare to those who are short, and the advanced price in nearly all man eats and wears makes him do on less. The merchant has cut his orders short, and lt's not so hard to handle. That's why. The fanner's corn crib has been transferred from Illinois,* Iowa and wisc bis smokehouse from Chicago, wise his mokehou8e from Chicago, Kansas City, etc., to his backyard. HIB pens are full of fine, fat hogs, the fields are full of birds and rabbits, the woods are full of 'possums and squirrels; he has plenty of potatoes, his garden ls full of turnips and win ter greens and ?his barn and stock are full of peavine hay, and as a rule he ls out of debt, and full of vim, in dependence and home-raised grub. Sell cotton? Not by a mill ske at 10 cents. He would Join forces with that old man whose wife lived so long in a shoe.

Doing. 'Tis easy to revel in Dreamland, And imagine how things should be; But the man who is up and doing Is the man of destiny.

The flames soon spread to the two new frame structures next door, oc cupied by Annie Hardin and her two harems, where ther? was perhaps $20,000 worth of furniture. No fur niture was saved from any of these four places. There were half a dozen pianos in the Hardin woman's houses, one of them said to'have cost $3,500.
