The Red Man a Religious Power
[ State of Oklah
in New State of Oklahoma.
HOLD OLD-TIME CAMPMEETINGS
(atholics Hold First Place in Work
Among the Former Savages, With
aethodists and Baptists Close To
gether for Second Place. Full-
Blooded Indian Preachers.
PAWHUSKA, Okla., August 29.
The red man as a religious power in
the new state is a matter not gen
erally considered outside its boun
laries, vet the Indian, when con
verted, is deeply religious and enjoys
more so even than the average white
man the privilege of holding and at
tending religious meetings. His
nreference, however, is for camp
meetings, as this form more closely
resembles the customary religious
convictions held by the tribes be
fore their conversion to christianity.
Annually it is the custom for the
Methodists and Baptists, in particu
lar, to hold camp meetings for the
Indian tribes, among whom they
have been doing missionary work.
The Kiowas and Comanches are es
pecially favorable to these open-air
meetings each summer, and attend
in great numbers.
The Catholics hold first place in
doing missionary work among the
Indians of the southwest, with the
Methodists and Baptists close to
gether for second place and the
Presbyterians and Episcopalians
bunched for third position. Recent
ongressional action has given all
these denominations the control and
wnership of the church and school
lands, which they have improved by
the erection of buildings thereon,
thus recognizing the church as a
great civilizing power among the In
liang, All these denominations have
mumerous schools and churches for
the red men throughout the new
state, and oecasionally may be found
buildings belonging to one of the
many other denominations.
Help Other Churches.
Not only do the Indians, as a rule,
support their own churches by finan
cial contributions, but in some in
lances they give liberally toward
the maintenance and establishment
't other churches. In one instance,
00, 1t 1s recorded where Indians
sdve money toward the erection of
a church at Copan, in Indian Ter
ritory, to be used by the white peo
ie of that community. Rev. S. A.
vans, a white evangelist, was doing
‘nissionary work in the locality and
'as very anxious to have a church
uilding of some kind at Copan.
On one trip to Cepan Rev. Evans
was accompanied by Arthur Arm
slrong, a well-known Delaware In
dan, and it was almost impossible
- _m}d a 4 building in which to hold
'A"hii'“”li\‘ services. Finally Evans
turned to Armstrong and said: ‘‘Ar
hur, how much will you give for a

L Me give $25 for church—s2s to

Full-Blooded Delaware Preacher.
Edwin Miller, a full-blood Dela
ware Indian, was recenty ordained a
minister of the gospel, following an
examination before the Baptist com
mission. Although but 20 years old
he began immediately to serve in his
capacity as a clergyman. He is from
an illustrious line of Delaware pre
decessors in the ministry. The
famous Delaware, Chief Journey

He was designated as ‘‘Little John”
to distinguish him from a relative
by the same name.
Rev. Sarcoxie has been in the min

English, but preaches in Delaware.
Miller speaks both English and Dela
ware, and has the distinction of be

Indian minister. He lives near No
wata, on his allotment on California
Creek. He expects to do general
missionary work in the Cherokee Na
tion, traveling and preaching wherev

the Indians. He is a graduate of
the Beacons University at Muskogee.
WAR ON (COTTON DESTROYER
WILL BE ON IN EARNEST.
Aggressive Battle, Too, Will Be Made
Against Cattle Ticks, Which Cest
Mississippi Millions.
Mississippi is campaigning against
the boll weevil armies and the cattle
tick brigades.
At the Farmers' Institute at Natch
ez last week there was a full dis
cussion of the Mexican cotton boll
weevil. Prof. Newell, secertary of
the Louisiana Crop Pest Commission,
read an extended paper on ‘‘Arse
nate of Lead as a 801 l Weevil Poi-
son.
Conferences have been held on a
proposed experiment with the arse
nate of lead. One thousand attended
the meeting to learn how to put the
lead to work and kill off the weevil.
After this meeting it is expected
that the farmers will at once go into
battle with the weevil, with full con
fidence that they have the ammuni
tion at hand to destroy them.
The tick eradication movement
goes forward. The little tick has
cost the people of Mississippi mil
lions of dollars a year. The official
builetin of the Mississippi depart
ment of agriculture and Commerce
says:
The quarantine line is now down
to the Mississippi line on the north,
and we cannot ship or drive cattle
into Tennessee. The only pens that
we can use in the northern markets
are what are known as the quaran
tine pens, where the cattle are only
allowed to be sold for immediate
slaughter. Alabama and Louisiana
are clearing their territory of ticks.
The work of tick eradication has
already been commenced in five coun
ties of north Mississippi, ana will be
extended to others as soon as these
are cleared.

iNebraska School Ma’ams Think
Gotham Rather Sad Affair.
MET RELICS OF EARLIER DAYS
;Th(\y Reached the Big City at a Street
Where Bob-tail Horse Cars Had to
Be Taken for a Few Blocks. Sym
pathy for the Girls Who Do Work
as Stenographers.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-—A party
of Nebraska school ma'ams recently
visited New York and went away
with the impression that the town
was rather a sad affair. To be sure
the majority of the party had never
seen anything bigger than their own
little red school house on the plains,
but they had read so much of the
wonders of Gotham that they were
not prepared for many of the relics
of earlier days that still exist on
Manhattan Island. As they came in
to the city by boat it 830 happened
that they were obliged to take one
of the little bob-tailed horse cars that
run along Tenth avenue in order to
reach their hotel. Their first im
pression of the city, therefore, was
not only surprising, but decidedly
disappointing. They declared also
that the city was dirty and that wo
men were not beautiful. On the
whole they were most impressed by
lthe sights at Coney Island, which,
perhaps, are less typical of New
York than a hundred things that
they could see on Broadway which
apparently did not interest them.
}Strange]\ enough they were much
impressed with the courtesy of the
street car conductors, whom New
Yorkers believe are the most impo
lite set of men that can be found
anywhere in the world.
Sympathy Lost en Working Girls.
It is still customary to speak sym
pathetically of the thousands of girls
who earn their living as stenograph
ers or typewriters in the down-town
offices, because their work keeps
them indoors and their health suffers
accordingly. However, the rapid de
velopment of the different shore re
sorts that can be reached from New
¥ork for a five-cent fare has
changed all this so that it is doubt
ful if one could find a healthier
looking lot of girls anywhere than
the typewriter brigade at lunch time
on Monday. Every other girl who
passes shows a sunburned face and
a pair of reddened forearms or the
added glow of an already acquired
tan. No Sherlock Holmes is needed
to picture these city folks spending
Saturday and Sunday on near-sands
which develop fully as good a tan
as the more remote beaches where
only the real vacationers are to be
found.
“Holy Rollers” in New York.
The arrest a short time ago of
thirty-two members of ‘““The First
Assembly cof Christ” called the at
tention of the loeal authorities to the
fact that there are many strange
sects in Gotham that will bear inves
tigation. Apparently New York is
the asylum of most of these queer
religious societies, and it is estimated
that over 506,000 persons belong to
the ‘Jumpers,” ‘Holly Rollers,”
Buddhists, Mahometan and other
bands. The majority of them do not
have any churches, but meet in a
small room in some quiet part of the
city. An organization known as the
‘““‘National Church” promised a per
manent existence until the leader of
the movement, in an effort to check
a long winded speech by one of the
members, shouted ‘“Go to your cor
ner.”” This caused the meeting to
break up in confusion and all sub
sequent efforts to revive the church
were unsuccessful. Many of the oth
er societies of which very little is
known manage to maintain their or
ganization and convert a few people
every year.
CORN RESISTS “HOT WINDS.”
Is Very Fine in Texas, and Some Is
Sixteen Feet High.
The government inspector for
Wichita Falls is enthused over crops
around Quanah, Texas, says a dis
patch from that place. He said the
finest and tallest corn he ever saw Is
raised around there.
He mentioned two acres of Le
guna corn, the seed of which he fur
nished J. M. Lewis, one mile north
of Quanah.. This corn, the inspector
says, is worth millions of dollars to
the Panhandle farmer.
It resists hot winds and drouths
better than any other variety.
On Mr. Lewis, farm this corn is
over sixteen feet high.

SOME OF THEM TRIED TO DRAW
THEIR PER DIEM FIRST DAY.
Were Horrified When Informed They
Might Have to Serve Through
Extra Session Without Pay.
Are the members of the general
assembly facing the necessity of
serving through the extra session of
the legislature without pay, not even
mileage for the expense of going to
and returning from the capital?
Happening to recall that no ap
propriation had been made for the
session and nothing said in the call
about such a bill being passed State
Treasurer R. E. Park turned down
all applications for money made by
the lawmakers.
- Before the rolls of the two houses
had been called several members
called at the treasurer’s office to col
f,lect mileage or pay in advance.
'Each admitted he was rather hard
up and needed the money. One con
fessed that his available monetary
assets at the time consisted of a
twenty-five cent piece.
The first was given the mouney by
the treasurer, but after he had gone
and others came, making a similar
demand, the treasurer began to
think, reaching the conclusion that
in the absence of an appropriation
he might be called on to refund all
the money he was paying out. Then
the state till was closed, and all
requests for cash were referred to
the attorney-general.
Until Judge Hart passes upon the
question involved those members
‘who are short on cash will have to
seek aid from friends or pawn their
Jewelry. And if the attorney-general
‘holds that the money cannot be paid
out except on regular appropriation
‘the members may have to prove true
patriots and serve their state without
financial reward.
Without questioning the patriot
ism of the members such a ruling
would in all probability bring the
session to a close at the earliest pos
sible time,
Before the house adjourned Joe
Hall introduced a resolution provid

| FIGURES ON FERTILIZERS.
\ e o
Annual Bulletin Issued by State De
partment of Agriculture.
The annual fertilizer bulletin of
the state department of agriculture
has been received by The News. The
report contains some intercsting fig
ures in connection with the sales of
fertilizers in Georgia for each year
since the inspection law went into
effect, beginning with the season of
1874-75, when the department had to
handle only 110 different l‘n“ands and
the total sales of the state aggre
gated but 48,648 tons.
From that time on there has been
a gra,;iua] increase year by year, and
more” particularly since the farmers
began to sell their cotton seed to the
oil mills instead of using it as fer
tilizer, until during the season of
1907-08, just closed, the department
has had to analyze and inspect 1,822
brands, and the total sales for the
season were 842,775.5 tons, the larg
est in the state’s history.
Up to this season the season of
1905-06 held the record with sales
of 838,659.5 tons, while there was
a slight drop during the season of
1906-'O7 to 786,736.5 tons. There
are no sales between now and Oct,
1, when the new fertilizer season
opens.
