THERE is promise of a profitable
meeting o. the Indian Territory
Press association at Wagner next
moth. Favorable responses have
been received from many of those
assigned to places upon the pro-
gram, and this program, by the
way, as arranged touches nearly
every detail of country newspaper
work. The requirements for
membership is that applicant shall
be the editor, publisher or mana
ger of an Indian Territory news
paper. All such are welcomed,
but a precedent has been set
against the admission of any who
do not meet the requirements, as
the association does not wish to
compromise itself nor diminish the
standing it has secured with the
towns visited or with the railroads.

Pre-Columbinn Miners.

Among the traditions of the Chero-
kee Indians is one asserting that long
before the time of Columbus, even be-
fore the red men had settled along the
Atlantic coast, a comparatively WELL
civilized race, with knowledge of the
mechanical arts, lived in the valleys of
the Southern Allegheny mountains.
They had knowledge of the working of
metals and dug in mines for gold and
mica in the mountain sides. In cor
roboration of this legend there are still
TO be found in the present rich mica
mines in western North Carolina evil

time ago. The shafts remaining indi-

In THE course of events the time
is approaching when the town of
Vinita, under its new charter, will
choose officers to make and admin
lister its laws. There are two
classes OF men to select from. One
class follows politics for living.
They are in politics for selfish
motives and never can be de-
pended upon to stand up for the
right if there is the least risk of
losing their place or their Influence
or the votes of their supporters.
There is another class of men,
though not very large, who are
concerned in public matters, not
for themselves, but for the sake of
the people, and because they wish
to see justice done. This latter class
Of men generally have plenty of
business Of their own; they are no
street idlers, nor saloon buns.
