TO SECURE
COUNTY SEAT
South Pittsburg People Making
Move to Have County Head
quarters Moved From
Jasper.

There is move on foot among a
number of citizens of South Pittsburg
to apply to the legislature to have the
County seat moved from Jasper to that
place. A gentleman of this place was
approached on the subject last week
while there, so he informs us, and was
asked to express his opinion in regard
to the matter. The idea of course was
that coming from a town that did not
get the High School, Sequachee citi-
zens would readily cooperate with
South Pittsburg in the proposed re-
moval. This, however, is not 80, be-
cause while Sequachee citizens feel
that they were not treated Justly in
the high school matter, they do not
feel inclined to punish Jasper for hav-
ing secured it, especially when they
consider that South Pittsburg once
had full opportunity to locate the
High School at Sequachee when on
vote they had failed to secure it for
themselves. The idea that Sequachee
people received was to keep the High
School at all hazards from being locat-
red in Sequachee
There is no danger that Sequachee
will ever ask for anything from the
County any more. We need a school
building more than some other places
more favored, but the concensus of
opinion is not to ask the County for it,
for it would be useless. If we ever
get a new, up-to-date school building
it will only be when the citizens dive
down in their pockets and pay for the
material and then unite and put it up
by joint labor.
South Pittburg people should not
expect 'Sequachee influence in the leg
islature to further their proposed
move. We are going to be perfectly
neutral hereafter, and will ask moth
ing and give nothing.

BEAT1|E PREPARES TOD|E At
. DAWN Of FRIDAY MORNING

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2S.-Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., the youthful wife
murderer yesterday received the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper. He pro
fessed religion and told his spiritual
advisers that he faced the unknown
with equanimity. Although BeatJie is
subdued in demeanor, the wonderful
nerve that thus far has sustained the
condemned man has not deserted him.
The sacrament was administered
with all due solemnity in the death
cell in the state penitentiary yesterday
afternoon. The Rev John ]. Fix, the
Presbyterian minister who has labor
led with Beattie since his condemna-
ton, officiated, assisted by the Rev
Benjamin Dennis Of South Richmon
The only other person present was the
prisoners aged and broken-hearted
father. The vigilance. of the death
watch was not relaxed during the
ceremony, although the guards with
drew to the corridor.
Reports that Beattie's iron nerve had
broken have been disproved. During
the desperate efforts made for a new
trial and for reprieve at the hands OF
the governor, the high tension under
which the convicted man labored
stretched his nerves as taut as piano
wires. Naturally he was irascible anC
given to sudden fits of anger But
these have disappeared.
That Beattie now is resigned to his

guard yesterday when the suggestion
was made that Governor Mann nigh

DRIVER 81 YEARS OLD
PREPARES FOR NEXT SEASON

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 23.-Lucien NJ.
Lindsey of Spokane, contemporary Of
Doble and Splan in their palmiest days
and oldest active driver in the world,
is at work preparing his campaigner,
Padishah, to cover the western circuit
in 1912. He is 81 years of age and
has handled trotting and pacing horses
for more tha ma half century in various
parts of America. He holds several
records.
Lucien is native Of Illinois, born
in Cook county in 1880. Whea nine
years of age his parents moved tc
Iowa, where he remained 10 years
going to the Oregon country in ls49
during the gold excitement on the Cali
fornia coast. Twelve years afterward
he moved to Boise, which was ther
part of Washington.

BOOSTER CAMPAIGN
NEEDED IN V|NITA
Immense Wealth in Natural Resources
Should Be Told For Benefit Of
Homeseekers.

One of the things most needed in
Vinita is a stringent campaign of ad-
vertising. Why should Vinita hide
her light under a bushel? No other
town in all this great and resourceful
state has anything on Vinita, when it
comes to natural resources and it is
probable that Vinita is less advertised
outside the confines of this particular
section than any other town in the
state. WI lie other towns are making
a great roise over some particular
branch of industry, Vinita, situated in
the heart of the richest agricultural
country in the world, with oil, gas,
coal, lead, zinc and other minerals at
her very door undevelopad and with
the greatest asset of all-plenty of
good pure artesian water for all pur-
poses, sits by and waits for the immi-
grant from the north and east to find
her out.
Aside from a little advertising being
done by few real estate men of the
city, Vinita is letting a golden oppor-
tunity go by. This is the season Of
all seasons when this city's advantages
should be made known to the home
seekers, who are pouring into this
state. When all of the rest of the
southwest had an almost total crop
failure Vinita territory has produced
more corn, hay and other crops this
year than for many years in the past.
The homeseeker from the east comes
here. sees these things and locates,
but there are thousands looking for
homes whose lucky star does not guide
them to Vinita These are the ones
an advertising campaign would reach
A look around Vinita shows that a
wonderful change has come over the
city in the last few years. The city
has grown from hamlet to city OF
goodly proportions within the last
twenty years. This has all been ac
complished with comparatively small
amount of advertising.
The population of Vinita is conserva
lively estimated at from 5000 to 5000
Situated on two trunk lines of rail
way and with an oil refinery, two ma
chine shops. brick plant and numer

Washington, D. G., Nov. 23.-Two
hundred Indian insurgents" are ex-
pected in Washington, December 4. to
organize a new Indian brotherhood :

out that the Indians on election day
hold the balance of power in number
of states, among them Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma.
II is said that approximately 100000
Indian voters are scattered over seven
teen states, whose political power
fought to prove a persuader of speediei

to be placed by congress was not bind.
ing Whitley drafted new brief, and,
through courtesy of one of the Guthrie

denied, which might be said to end that
case for all time to come.

HOLC0MB MAKES SHORT
TALK At HIGH SCHOOL

Prof. l. NJ. Holcomb, noted chautau-
qua lecturer and manager OF the South
western Lyseum bureau of Oklahoma
City, was here today and this morning
made thirty minute talk to the stu
dents of the high school. This lecture
set the high school students afire with
enthusiasm
Prof. Holcomb took as his subject,
Preparation of the High School," and
impressed upon the students the fact
that while they were in high school
they must prepare for life after the
school days are over. No more inter
esting talker has ever spoken in Vinita
than Prof. Holcomb. When he had
finished his thirty minute talk teachers
and students alike were surprised that
the time had passed so rapidly.
