The 0. H. S. Debating Society . The 0. H. S. Band has been
hqd an interesting meeting last having some good practice in
Friday night. First on the pro- preparation for
grspm-wss^a good speech by Rich- monte and new
aid Price on “Modern Warfare.”
It was well delivered and re-
ceived much applause. This was
followed by a debate^ “Resolved
That the U..S. Should Adopt
.Woman Suffrage.!’ The affirms
hive was ably represented by
James Leon Pursley and John E.
Morrison, Jr.; the negative by
Sidney Self and Willard Mobley.
After much indecision occasioned
by so many good arguments on
both sides, the judges decided
in favor of the affirmative. Next
the Boektey was given K pretty
rendition of ‘ * My Beautiful Lady ’
played as a duet by John E. Mor-
rison, Jr., and Fred M. Hudson.
With auch good programs being
had by the society the piihlic will

once a week. Also they have
decided on a “get rich quick

Mongs; that is in the treasury
of the band. It is well known
that it is one of the best High
School Band’s in the state _
with the hfljp of the people of
Graham, it intends to keep in
that class. The instructor, Prof.
J. F. H. Crabib, is one of the
best musicians in the state and
with such an instructor the

Celery in Olney
Rev. J. A. Edmondson was in
the Enterpriae office Wednesday
morning with as fine a bunch of
celery as the Enterprise devil
has seen since he can remember
and stated that it was grown on
h» place near the Baptist church
right here in town and without
irrigation of any kind.
In ordering garden seeds last
spring, Mr. Edmondson says the
company from whom he ordered
sent along a package of celery
seed, and more for the novelty
of the thing than for any nther
reason, they planted these in, a
box, and later transplanted two
short rows of it in the garden;
one of which w as in the drip of
the house. They were not wat-
ered at all except by the rains
we have had. this year, and the
result is remarkable.
Through the FaH Trade Edi-
tion of The Enterprise, our read

grown EL Mr- Edmondson’s gar-
den this yoar. That cabbage
picture was taken endy in the
spring, about the first or fifteen-

Although the damage was
greatest in Great Bend, where a
path three blocks wide through

Reports of damage to budd-
ings, death to live stock and in-
jury to the inhabitants on iso-
lated. farms were received late
today. Near Ptratt, Kan., a
farmer who hadi been away from
home for the night returned tor
day and found every building
wrecked and his family scattered
to the homes of neighbors. The
family had been in the home
when the storm struck and no
member there escaped injury.
Hundreds of trees, one of the
most valued things about a
prairie home, were blown down.
In many oases great cottonwoods
which were planted when the
country was first settled were
snapped off or split.
Great Bond late today began
to recover from the shock had
began cleaning up the debris. A
company of the Kansas National
Guard assisted in am examination
of the wrecked buildings and m

The lighting plant was de-

blown into a hopeless mass. It

would be available far mare than

also supplied with light (power

Houston, Texas.—la an interesting
letter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton
writes as follows: “I think it is my duty
to ten you what your medicine, Cardid,
the woman’s tonic, has done for me.
I was Eawa sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn’t seem to do
me any good. I lingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks, J
was in bed, so sick I couldn’t bear for
any ooe to walk across the floor.
My husband advised me to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. I have taken two
bottles of Cardui, agi feeling fine, gained
15 pounds and do all of my housework.
Friends hardly know me, I an. so well.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
so common to women, don’t allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. It Is purely vegetable,
Its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural
way on the weakened womanly constitu-
tion. You ntn no risk in trying Cardui.
It has beau helping weak women back to
health and atrength for more than 50
yean. It will help you. At all dealers.

Tuakegee,. AU* Noy. 14.—
Booker T. Washington, the -noted
negro educator and founder of
Tuakegee Institute, died of a ner-
vous breakdown early today at
his home, four hours after his ar-
rival from New York.
The negro leader had been in
failing health for several months,
but his condition'became serious
only last week while, he was in
the East. He realized the end
was near, but was detremined to
make the long trip south to bear
out h» oft-expressed statement
that he had been, ‘4 born in the
South, have lived all my life in
the South and expept to die and
be buried in the South.”
He reached his home last mid-
night and died at 4:40 o ’dock
this morning.
Specialists who had. examined
Washington said he was suffer-
ing from nervous breakdown and
hardening of the arteries.
He is survived by his wife,
three children and four grand-
children. His brother, John H.
Washington, is superintendent
of industries at Tuakegee Insti-
tute.
The funeral will be held at Tns
kegee Institute Wednesday morn-
ing at IB o’clock.'
/Washington was born in slav-
ery noar Hale’s Ford, Va., in
1857 or 1858. After the emaneipa
tion of Jiis race he moved with
his family to West Virginia. He
was an ambitious boy and saved
his money for an. education.
When he was able to scrape to-
gether sufficient funds to pay
his stage-coach fare to Hampton,
Va., he entered General Arm-
strong's school for negroes there
and worked his way through an
academic course, graduating in
1875. Later he became a teach-
er in the Hampton Institute
where he remained until 1881,
when he organized an industrial
school for the negroes at Tuskegeo
He remained principal of this
school up to the time of his death
The institute started in a rent-
ed shanty church and today it
owns 3,500 acres of land in Ala
bama and has nearly 100 build-
ings, valued at $500,000.
Washington w-n the sympathy
and support of the leading
Southerners by a speech in be-
half of his race at the Cotton
States Exposition in Atlanta in
1895. Of undoubted ability and
breadth of vision, his sane leader-
ship enabled him to accomplish
more for and among the negroes
of the United States than any
negro of his time.
In addition to his prominence as
an educator, Washington gained
considerable fame as an author.
He received an honorary degree
of master of arts from Harvard
University in 1896 and was given
an homirary degree of doctor of
laws by Dartmouth College in
1901. !
An incident of Washington’s
career made him a figure of na-
tional prominence during the ad-
ministrartioa of Breedi*nt- Roose-
velt. He sat down to lunch with
the President at the White House
either by formal or informal in-
vitationT-There was a stdrin oft'
protest, particularly from the
South, but in spite of the re-
sulting hostility shown toward
him by many white persona,
Washington continued to exert
a widespread influence toward
the betteryiont of his people.
