OPEKA PLAINDEALER The Wise Merchant Who Wants to Reach Christmas Shoppers Can do so Through The Plaindealer OKLAHOMA, THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY! VOLUME XII. Manager Griffin Tells of the People and Business Concerns in the Land of Wealth and Promise. KINGFISHER is the leading town on the west side of the state of Oklahoma, and its first Negro settlers were those who came out of Memphis, just after the memorable "Curve Riot," at Memphis, Teas., when a colony under the leadership of Aaron Stephenson and others, came from Memphis and settled in and around Kingfisher. In this section are to be found a number of former Topeka people, who are well known here. Many of them are very well to do, but all of them doing well. The PLAINDEALER can be found in nearly all of the homes of those who live in and around Kingfisher, Hennecy, Dover, and the other settlements along the Rock Island Route. Kingfisher is about thirty miles west of Guthrie and is in convenient railroad connection with the latter city. Near Kingfisher are quite a number of towns where No. grows live and are doing well, principally at farming. Among these towns are Crescent, Wannamaker, Omega, Watonga, and a few miles from Kingfisher are the towns of Eudora and Manese, exclusively Negro settlements, made up of early settlers from Arkansas. Those people are doing well and some of them have well improved farms and neat bank accounts. The merchants of Kingfisher have a large Negro trade, which they seem to appreciate and we are proud of the treatment we received from them during our stay there. Race differences do not show any such antagonism in Kingfisher as is shown in many Oklahoma towns, and the relations between all the people are very harmonious. The schools of Kingfisher are in excellent shape and the efforts of the good citizens of that city to give to the Negro that fair share of support for the education of his children seems to have been amply rewarded in the example of the school children for good behavior and generally good deportment wherever we have met them. The churches are well attended and are usually in charge of an intelligent pastorate. The buildings are substantial and the most of the church property is clear of debt. The crops around Kingfisher are rather more diversified than in most parts of the state where Negroes are noticeably in numbers, where cotton is the main crop. In this section, wheat and the small grains are taking the place of large cotton crops and the mills of King fisher are turning out a grade and brand of flour that is as good as can be found in any part of the country of the same claim. The Oklahoma Mill Co. of this city, make a brand of flour, the "U. S." advertised in this paper as "The Flour For Particular People.--Always the same". This flour is a home product that the company are proud of and which they are pushing for the ho TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC 2, 1910. tel and restaurant trade, where quality counts and is appreciated, and they are getting results. The "U. S." is fast becoming the leading brand of Oklahoma flour. WALTON'S DRUG STORE. Walton's Drug Store is the leading store, in its line, in Kingfisher. This store carries a full line of drugs, paint and wall paper, at all times. Mr. Walton, the proprietor, is a young man, twenty-six years of age and a graduate of Oklahoma University in the class in Pharmacy of 1906. He has lived in Kingfisher for fifteen years and has owned his own business during the past two years, having succeeded the business of Mr. J. E. Tucker. C. L WAGNER, FURNITURE AND UNDERTAKING. Mr. C. I. Wagner is one of the sonud business men of the town and is quite a favorite with all the people. He served two years on the school board of his town and has always favored the Negro element by standing for substantial buildings and a curriculum of study in keeping with the demands of the people. Mr Wagner has not done this as a politician, which he is not, but because he believes that deserving people, who have been unfortunate, should be encouraged and for that reason he has strod for their interests at all times. He gives liberally to the churches and has shown his good feeling in many ways. Mr. Wagner gave freely to the fund for the prosecution of the "Grandfather Clause" and when called upon to coniribute, gave five times the amount requested. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF KINGFISHER. The First National Bank is the leading bank of the town. The President of this bank is ex Governor A. J. Seay, formerly of Missouri and formerly Governor of the Territory of Oklahoma, one of the early Governors. This bank is a liberal dispenser to the needs of the farmers in this section and their capital and surplus of $60,000 is a showing for them that speaks for the strength of the concern. Mr. Patten, the cashier, is a very pleasant gentleman to meet and do business with. He has many friends in Kingfisher and his acquaintance in Kintiiser county, with conditions generally, makes him a valuable man in the affairs of the institution. Guthrie, Okla. GUTHRIE is and is not the capital of the state of Oklahoma. The Legislature will decide that matter before this statement appears in print. The people of Guthrie have had the capitol since the opening of the territory to settlement and to hold their position they have sacrificed a great deal. If the people of Guthrie had decided years ago to let the capital go wherever it would and have given the name attention to building enterprises and businesses that they have given to saving the capital, it is possible that Guthrie would have made a great and big city. The Negro population of Gathrie is large. Perhaps more Negroes own their own homes in Guthrie than in any other place of its size in the country. More than half the population of Guthrie are property owners. The town boasts of mos; excel cut schools for both Negro and white and a large force of teachers. The buildings used for school purposes are beautiful and of the very latest plans. There are a number of Negroes in business in Guthrie. Many of them are doing well. The accommodations for colored people in Guthrie are pleasant and convenient to the railroads. ED. O. PETERSON, TAILOR. The leading clothier and haberdasher of Guthrie is Mr. Ed. Peterson, who keeps everything needed in his line. His line of Stain. Bloch "Smart Clothes" is something worth looking over. There is something catchy and attractive about them. Mr. Peterson gives his patronage to The Prattdonaler in appreciation of the dealings he has had with his Negro customers and we are glad to be able to say a word for the quality, the price and the pleasant service given at this store. HOOVER BROS. LIVERY AND BOARDING STABLE. Hoover Bros. have the best service in the livery line to be found in Guthrie. "A Square Deal" is their motto, and they stick to it. They keep at all times, rigs for all classes of service. If you care to take a trip to the country or go upon a fishing or hunting trip, the Hoover Bros. have the rigs that will suit you. Everything about this place is carefully kept and the charges are no more than the other fellow gets for poor service. When you are in Guthrie call around and see the Hoover Bros. Tell them you saw their advertisement in the PLAINDEALER. They will treat you right and you will not be sorry you met them. DR. A. R. EAGLESON. DENTIST. Dr. A. Eagleson, a former Topeka boy, is one of the popular dentists of Guthrie, and the only Negro of that profession in the city. He has modern officers in the business part of the city and does a lucrative business, among all classes of people. He enjoys the confidence of the community, on account of the straightforward methods of business he has adopted in his profession and his courteous treatment of his friends and customers. While in the city we were entertained at his beautiful residence, where he and his pleasant wife spared no effort to make our visit pleasant. DR. T. H. WRIGHT. Dr. Wright is one of the leading physicians and surgeone of Guthrie and as a specialist of diseases of women he has established a practice that demonstrates beyond a question his ability along this line. He has practiced in his profession during the past ten years, during which time his practice has covered a varied line of diseases and experiences. The writer and the doctor discovered in the course of conversation, that they were natives of the same state, Louisiana, and that the writer had known the family of the doctor for a number of years, in Louisiana. While in Guthrie we Continued on Page 2. THE FAKE KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF PROTECTION! Get-Rich Quick Outfit Seeks Balm in a Libel Suit Against The Plaindealer-Cat's Paw Mason Swears to the Complaint. Misrepresents Negro Press Association! We are very sorry that the Muskogee Phoenix, a daily paper, resorted to such a low and degrading method in publishing the resolution passed by the Press association with misleading head lines, saying what was not contained in the body. We have been meeting in various cities for the past fourteen years and such methods were never resorted to before. We do not believe that the parties who manage that paper would have allowed such a method had their attention been called to it before its publication. We now ask the editor of the Phoenix to correct this statement unless it is the policy of that paper to misrepresent colored people who are doing much to build up this section of the country. The members of the association have a right to feel indignant and will resent it in strong terms if such is the policy of the Phoenix. The following in the resolution— THE FAKE KNIGHT LADIES O Get-Rich Quick Outfit Suit Against The Pla Mason Swears to We are glad to announce to the public that we have at last been arrested in Wyandotte county upon a complaint made by J. M. Mason, the vice president of the wild cat skin game fake insurance company known as the Knights and Ladies of Protection. Yes, it is a fake, and big Jim knows it. He is a kind of a "me, too," tool of the company. He does not hold the position by reason of the gray matter stored in his upper story, but merely as a wide, loud exclaimer of anything he may think, see or hear. He has no more conception of what it takes to run a fraternal insurance order than his ancestral tribe of apes in Africa. He is the man Friday, who faked money out of several people, pretending that it was for the order. They claim that they are being exposed to public hatred. Why, of course, we take great pleasure in notifying the many innocent, misguided souls who have been fleeced by this grafting outfit and shall continue as long as pen and paper can be secured. Please take warning. Beware of the Knights and Ladies of Protection, of which J H. Guy is president, secretary and treasurer, defacto, with headquarters in his offices, J. G. Groves, act- --- NUMBER 48ugh The Plaindealer "We deplore the growing and increasing prejudice and proscription which is engendered and fostered by the majority of the opposite race, which is unjust unfair and uncalled for discrimination against the race and demonstrates beyond question that it is actuated only by a narrow and jealous spirit: but in spite of which the Negro continues to increase in intelligence, ability and power to do and dare for himself.

Ladies of Protection, an order destined to rob the poor, hardworking men, women and children. They should not be permitted to operate another minute. The insurance commissioner is aware that they are weak and praying upon the innocent for existence. They owe several hundred dolars they owe and will not pay. We are at a loss to know just how long the officers will permit this wild cat, get rich quick, skin game to exist. When a loss occurs they hedge around to beat the beneficiary out of part of the money. No one seems to know anything about the running of the game but the president. He keeps the books and the headquarters at his law office The idea of the insurance commissioner permitting this concern to issue thousands of dollars worth of policies with about 8500 in the treasury with which to pay the claims. They can't pay. We can name policies where they "turned" the people in great shape. They aim to pay enough to keep the people from squealing. In the insurance commissioner fails to act the government should investigate and deprive them of the use of the mails. J. G Groves, the treasurer knows nothing of the working of the order—just in it to grab his share when the concern goes broke. James Mason the vice president, knows less, and Rev. C. G Fishback, the secretary, never wrote a line in books and does only the things he is told. He too is waiting for the poor Negro to drop and get his share. It will pay one to read the report of 1908 in which several untruthful statements will be found. Said article so written and published by the said Nick Chi'es in the said THE TOPSKA PLAINDEALER was by the said Nick Chiles knowingly, unlawfully, wilfully and maliciously circulated in Wyandotte county, Kansas and did tend to detame said society, provoke it to wrath expose it to public rated, contempt, ridicule and to deprive it public confidence and when public aion is wholly untrue and false, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided The second count is so follows. A WARNING "o the Colored People of Kansas and elsewhere. Beware of the Knights and Ladies of Protection, an order that has robbed several colored people and will rob many more if they continue to live up to its mandates. They are duping the working men and women of the race James H. Guy is the pr silent, J. G. Grove, seurer Rev. For back secretary, holds the office only in name. He knows nothing of the order. They are stunting agents over the state fleeing the people. The insurance commissioner ought to stop them. He said if they had been a white order they would have been stopped long ago. They ought to be stopped. That is no reason why they should be allowed to dupe and rob the poor Negro. We warn the race to beware of this wild cat skin game IDEAL HAT SSieiiivaase ce + SoS] siete he a E FAKE Ia Secon
