% OKLAHOMA STATE 1 A GARDEN SPOT. ONE OF A PARTY OF SIGHT SEERS DESCRIBES UNO OF BEAUTY AND FERTILITY. Editor County Record:? On the 3rd inst., a party consistins of South Carolinians and two Georgians boarded the train in Augusta, Ga., bound for Oklahoma rr d Texaa._ Their missiotx was three-fold, pleasuie, sight-seeing and business. 1 give each name and postoftice address: C M Davis, W C Johnson, L R Chewning of Sunimertou;.J J Gee, * W B Fogle, T M Moss, F I Culler of Cameron; S B Cope, V Brad ham of Cope; Dr B A Mattison, Mrs B ; A Mattison of McCormick; Dr W S Lynch of Scranton; R F Morris of Wilhngton; B L Cox of Ethel; W E Lesesne of Gredyville; R L Gunter, J D Prothro of Aiken;J E Kennedy, W E Prothro, L C Sprawls of Wilhston; O D Marvin of Pinewood; Mrs M P Harby,Charles Harby of Winnsboro; MLB Sturkie of McCormick; J J Langley of Plum Branch; C N Sprott, W B Cooper, R F Deschamps of Mayesville; J A Livingston of North; C M Kelley of Lake City; Dr F B Phillips, W W Ramsey of Harlem, Ga., and 1) H Marchant of Oraugeburg. Mr J P Matheny of Blackwell, Okla., had the party in charge. "We spent one full afternoon in # . Tulsa, Okla., and it is hard to believe that this city is but six years old. The streets are regularly laid out and most of them are paved with asphalt. Tulsa has a population of 16,000 and is growing rapidly. There is now in course of erection $300,000 worth of buildings. Her taxable returns for 1908 were $8,925,000. She has seven good hotels, one of which cost $110,000 to build. She has seven large brick churches and several banks. Nearly all the business bouses are built of brick and the dwellings are neat and comfortable. Her public school buildings are equal to and in some respects superior to any in the United States in point of comfort and convenience. Oklahoma has 3,000,000 acres of land set apart for school purposes. This land she rents for $1 per acre, which brings in an amount large enough to run her schools for nine months in the year and furnish text books free. There is not a drinking saloon in the State and no liquor to be had. Those people who say that ''prohibition does not prohibit" ought to go to Oklahoma and get convinced. We visited several towns in Oklahoma and all of them are of marvelously rapid growth. Among them were Euid,Washville, Sapulpa and El Reno. The soil is the richest in the world and inmost auy crop can be grown with profit. Corn, wheat, alfalfa, hay and cotton are the principal crops raised. Millious of cattle,horses and hogs are shipped East. Near Tulsa and Sapulpa are the oil wells. The coal mines in this section are rich in de* posit and are being worked with great profit. ?Ve saw numbers of oil tanks along the line of railway holding 2,000,000 gallons each. Many of the Indians are getting $150 a week royalty from their claims. The great Creator seems to have favored Okalahoma, as her soil is so fertile and her mineral deposits so * bountiful. About 30 miles from Enid there is a salt deposit covering 35,000 acres of land and it has been probed for more than 100 feet deep with no diminution of salt. This State is being rapidly settled with the best people from all the States. In Enid, a city of 15,000 people (only 16 years old), we failed to see a poI liceman. On inquiry we learned that * there were three and they had but little to do. From Oklahoma we ran down to San Antonio and spent one day. San Antonio is the oldest, the most cosmopolitan, the most historic, the most unique city in the Southwest. It was with peculiar pleasure we visited the old missions and the Alamo. While within the walls of the Ala. mo we felt a peculiar awe as we were I treading on holy ground. Here it! was in 1630 Travis sent to the provisional government for reenforce- I ments with his immortal declaration: "I shall never retreat or surrender." Travis, with his 145 men, resisted Santa Anna with 6,000 picked mm. j Every Texan was killed, among them , the brave Bowie, Dayie Crockett and < Bonham. , There is an underground tunnel . connecting the Alamo with one of } the mission houses. This tunnel , run3 under the San Antonio river, j A place of great interest is Port 1 Sam Houston. This is the second j largest post in the United States, } and. is soon to be the largest. There j aie so many places of interest in and around San Antonio that it is im- j practical to speak of them here. 1 j will, however, speak of the famous ^ hot wells. These wells are said to possess medicinal qualities equal to . tnose of the famous hot springs of < Kansas. The temperature of the ^ ^.is 104 degrees. A large hotel r i^here capable of acoommoda- ( tP" 'undreds of guests. On these i g- ndi'the celebrated Rough Ri*. d* > were orgauized bv Dr Leonard W od aud Theodore Roosevelt. Our returh trip was as pleasant as ourgor except some of our numbe leftabs to spend more time. \ Harby, her sou and Gunter left at Fort Worth, Sturkie ana Mr at San Antonio, Langlev at CL.^aasha, Matheuv at El Retio and l>a- 1 1 vis Johnson, Lesesne, Co.v, Lynch anu Kelley at Hot Spnogs. None of us will ever forget the ] pleasant time we had together trav- 1 eliug i~ the great West and living as one big family iu a Pullman for ten days. Friendships were formed that will last through life and as we bade ] each other good bye, each of us felt that the latch strings of every one of ( our houses hung on the outside for i one another. | WOHAft" WOES. i Klatfttrftft Vnei Are Fiailir Re lief at Last. < It does seem that women have ] more tnan a fair share of the aches . and pains that afflict humanity;they . must "keep up," must attend to , duties in spite of constant aching , backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, | bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. , They must walk and bend and work . with rackiug pains and many aches from kidney ills.

My back and kidneys caused I me a great deal of misery for years. | Headaches and dizzy spells occurred frequently and i was ootnerea ai all times by the irregular action of the kidneys.
