Mr. | P. P. Langford, one of the parties to the transaction, is a former New-1 berry man and has many relatives in The entire partnership property of J. I. Staley, P. P. Langford and N. B. Chenault was \sold yesterday to the Kansas and Gulf Oil company, consummating1 one of the largest oil | transactions ever closed in Wichita j county. The exact amount of money involved was not revealed by either party, but it was stated on good-authority that the figures were over the .$5,000,000 mark. C The holdings turned over included nearly one hundred wells and about one thousand acres in leases, most of which are in proven territory, as well as a gasoline plant in Burkburnett and forty-one tank cars.

LEVER MAY RESIGN NOW, 'TIS RUMORED' I Former Congressman Reported as Considering Quitting Washington Now. Columbia Record. Rumor has it in Columbia that Former Congressman Asbury F. Lever of Lexington county may resign his position on the federal farm loanj board either now, or else immediately: after the inauguration of Presidentelect Harding next March. No confirmation of the rumor, however, has come from Washington. - ? > - il--i -Li- - U it is rumoreci aiso mm cut; ivepuulicans are out with a big "scoop" for the pie that is ready for serving in South Carolina. "To the victor belongs the spoils," say leaders of the party in power, and it is probable, that a number of changes in public office will be made next year. .. A number of these are in ^ColumlSia, and the 1921 personnel of federal efface" will be a matter of keen interthroughout the state? ; (i Mr. Lever for several years represented the Seventh Carolina: i district in the lower h<juse of con-; gress, and when the Democrats were in control of the party machinery, was chairman of the house commit- j tee on agriculture. His decision to' enter the race for the senate of the United States and his withdrawal in 1916 was an interesting event in the history of the Palmetto state. Subsequently Mr. Lever left the house to take an appointment as a Democratic member of the farm* loan board. As the members of the board are selected with references to the two leading parties it is probable that should Mr. Lever desire to continue in his present position he could do so as none doubt his ability, but the question as to whether, having* been close to the Wilson administration, loo umtiisi raw tn hold office under Harding is another matter. Some of Mr. Lever's friends are authority for the statement that the former congressman is almost certain to get into the race for the governorship of South Carolina in 11>22 and they profess to ray that it might' not be greatly to his advantage to1 hold office under the Harding admin- j istration until just prior to the South Carolina election, then resign and enter the race.

Then when the visitors arrive at his abode he pretends to be immensely astonished, and says he never dreamed of such a visitation; but the fact that Ki-w Scs tfnntiinnr Cnn^QV Qf>fl AIC IC ?Vtai 111^ Alio k)UHUUJ VJA4 4*. V) ??uv* lias his l^air parted in the middle, gives the lie to all his protestations. ^"There is no serious objection to a surprise party when the victim is warned in advance, although, as I have shown, it encourages skullduggery and hypocrisy, for no man can be thoroughly honest who pretends amazement over a visit he has been planning-for. "But the genuine surprise party is an outrage, and people who resort to it should be severely punished. There's nothing more humiliating to a selfrespecting man than to have a whole neighborhood blow, into his dwelling when he isn't looking for it. "When I am at home I saerifieo everything to personal comfort. I take off my shoes an3 collar and necktie, and roll up my shirtsleeves and slip my suspenders ' down over niy arms. I don't care how I look if I am feeling at ease. If I am expecting visitors. I go to my boudoir and fix myself up so I look like a bridegroom. My wife has theories, similar to mine, and doesn't believe in being arrayed in Durole and fine'linen all the time. But she wouldn't-''be seen looking slouchy for anything. "Some months agp my wife casually remarked to a neighbor that my birthday would occur on the following Wednesday, and tlis4t neighbor, being a confirmed busybody, got busy and organized a surprise party. I nover recftved the faintest hint of the scheduled catastrophe, and on the evening of my birthday I was lying on the floor of the setting room, with .ahrmt o lmnrtrpfl npwsnnrjers nround me. My wife was1'1 wearing an old wrapper, and was popping corn on the kitchen rtove. There was nobody else in the house, and wp had no idea visitors would come, for it was a kid night. "About eight o'clock, .lust when I was thinking of going to bod, there was a knock at the front door. My wife thought it was some boy on an errand so she went to the door with a stovehook in one hand, and the corn popper in (he other, and she gave a shriek of ansuisJi when she snw tn?? mass meetinc: on the front porr-h. The minute the floor v.*as open all lliose delegates pushed themselves in. smiling and giggling as thoujrh they were doing: something mighty funny. "Our house hadn't boon in sueh disorder in twenty years. It looked as though a couple of amateur trams had been plavincr basketball in it. My wife and T ]K"*>in apologizing and explaining. as people-will do under such conditions, although they know that nobody will believe what they say; the guests assured us that it was all right, hut 1 could see them squinting around and inking mentnl noles for future reference, and inside of a week the story was sill over town flint our house was a fright, and no respectable cow could live in it. "That was th<> most miserable evening I ever spent, my friends, and 1 have never forgiven the people wlic took part in that uprising.
