BOLD DEFIANCE TO WHITE MI'S RULE

a
Wewoka, Okla., Oct. 22. Indigna
tion nearly reached the war point
hure today when, In bold defiance
of the policy of a "white man's gov
ernment" that la belli; consistently
Ijr advocated by -white persons of all
parties in the heavily nesro populat
ed districts of Seminole county, the
Seminole Capital, a republican news
paper, announced editorially:
"Come down and see the deputies
do the work, anii then vote."
'I lie editorial haa reference to the
icport circulated here anions tin
negroes that a feaeini Judge will
grant an injunction restraining the
election boards from enforcing the
ibcciitly a.loited grandfather clause
amendment to the eonstitution, that
deputy United States marshals will
l,e stationed at all polling places
vberu there are negro votes, and
that the negioes 'will be permitted
to vote if It takes the firing of i'ed
eral guns.
Conif.iint that the republican party
will .airy out Us pledges, the lie
grots of Seminole couty have begun
smuting a'n-ut with elevated heads
:ind insoli'iit balible. Freiiuelit reports
of their Insukiiig !iite people are
leciivcd and it appears that a state
of open wart are Is Imminent.
The Seminole Capital Is o.vned
and edited by Donald K. Fraster,
postmaster at Wewoka and republi
can nominee for secretary of state,
and Walter Ferguson, superintendent
of a United States Indian school and
republican nominee for representa
tive In the legislature. The paper
bas jna'iie a consistent fight in b
half of the negroes. Its Inflamma
tory editorials and republican
speeches, pregnant with hope to the
negro, that have been made in near
ly every town and hamlet recently,
have contributed to the bad state of
affairs.
Speeches Arouse Blacks.
Since the speech of Mc.N'eal's here
a few nights ago, blacks have grown
bolder and more menacing than ever
before. Three hundred of them beard
McNeal'a denunciation of the grand
father clause, and it Is reported on
good authority that since that day
uo less than &00 guns have been pur
ehasofJI, borrowed or placed in read
iness 'by the negroes. In some ru
ral precincts election officers assert
that It will be dangerous to open the
polls on election day and attempt
to enforce the grandfather clause,
because of the belligerent attitude
of the negroes.
From Guthrie this word has come
to the negroes: Early on election
day two or three negroes should
early at the polls and make tue
first demands for voting; If the elec
tion board refuses to let them vote
they are to take possession of the
voting booths with the aid of the
federal officers and remain In control
until the board relents or abandons
the nlace. This scheme is not charg-
asi to Jim Harris, the slate chair-!
man, nor to any individual in his
department, but such a word has
been circulated among the negroes
and it was borne by a negro who
eame from Guthrie and who declared
that it had the sanction of men in
authority there.
Above Partisan Politics.
"The issue is above partisan poli
tics," said ap roinlnent republican
here today In discussing the situa
tion. "There Is no doubt, we are on
the verge of serious trouble If en
couragement is lent to the negroes as
it has teen during the last two
weeks, and the matter is put square
ly up to us on the broad question of
whether fho white man shall rule the
negro or tho negro rule the white
man. There isn't a fair-minded man
in Seminole county who would deny
that any legislation that will save
I white citizens the humiliation of bow
ing to the will of a black justice of
tho peace or permitting the official
service of nil iniipudent negro con
stable would not only be wise but
beneficial to the Interests of Bociety.
We want a white man's country. We
expect to treat the negro with the
respect due an American citizen and
If the federal court holds our suf
frage law In abeyance we have no
thought of attempting to enforce it.
Things have come to a pretty pass
In intelligent Oklahoma whoa polit
ical pirates begin teaching Ignorant
negroes that a law adopted by a
majority of 23.0i0 vo.'es is not a law.
It is a far presumption on the rights
of the people to govern themselves
when a set of men take the authority
to anticipate what the holding of a
federal court will be on the grand
lather law."
The modest, home-loving negroes
of Seminole county are taking no
interest in the fight. It Is the riff
raff, the drunken, good-for-nothing,
scoun -felly element that Is given an
Incentive to riot by politicians who
seem willing to go to the limit of
bloodshed to carry a point for polit
ical purposes and for no love of the
negro.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 22. Reports of
threatened riots have reached tlutluie
from Wewoka. They have had a ten
dency of Increasing a growing un
easiness among republicans that the
grandfather law will not be pas.ied
upon 'by a federal court before the
election. Judge John A. Cotteral Is
holding court at Lawton, and If he
li .is heard from Judge Walter A.
Saubourn, of St. Paul, whom he in
vited to take the bnech heer during
the hearing of the case, no one
here seems to know It. It Is a general
Impression here that three Judges
will be requireUi to sit on the case.
Reports reached here of threaten
ed riots on election day In Lincoln
and Pawnee counties in case the
grandfather law is enforced. Precinct
election officers have reiorted that
it may be dangerous to attempt to
open the polls. The balance of pow
er In the First congressional district
lies with the negroes. To lose their
votes would mean certain defeat for
McGulrc in tho face or a strong in
surgent movement against him.

What to Do for a
Sickly Child-Trial Free
Many a mother has written thanks after following these suggestions
It has always been a mooted question
Just what to do with an ailing child, for
mothers disagree and few doctors rpir
clallze In it. But this much Is cort.iin.
that In the majority of crises faulty bun-el
movement U at the bottom of the trouble.
The first thing, then, to -lo wish a coi.i
plainlng child is to give It a lixative, ici
a mere fruit-stow or such thing lut a
genuine, scientific laxative. Many are
recommended but few have been found
worthy. Among the lntter none stun1;?out
more prominently than Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, which mothers In nil parts
of the country have used for a generation.
It can be obtained of any druesist at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. No
child will refuse It as It Is not a bad
tasting and violent cathartic pill. lut a
mild, gentle, nun-griping liquid. It has
nl.o tonic properties that otrengthen and
tone the little stomach and bowel mus
cles so that they begin to do their work
naturally nKaln. Mrs. Ella N. Williams
of Watliena. Kas. and Mrs. Emma ltlaken
Khlp of lledford. Ind., always give their
children Syrup Tepsin.
If you hesitate to get even a fifty cent
bottle and du not care to ask your neigh
bor about It (who probably Is a urer of
Syrup Pepsin), then write Dr. Caldwell
and lie will cheerfully send you a sample
bottle free of charge, and In this way you
can make a test without personal cost,
i-lmply send your name and address to
the doctor. A great many thousand moth
ers have had a free sample in recent
years, gave It to the children according
to directions and now have healthr. romp
ing youngsters.

Dunfermline. The first preject for
draining coal pits, together with the
sinking of a coal pit under water, was
made there In 151)0. In 162.", a storm
destroyed the moat from which the
coal was taken and the coal beds have
remained idle ever since, though re
peated attempts have !een made to
work them.
The company which proposes to op

housand inhabitants. An interesting

to be made. A dozen houses near the
