COL. MEOUJtS AS AM ( CaL at of thia mh f ha mt known a* aa orator of ability. It waa no thia reputation that ha nomination. Now for waaka ha haa party and ha haa shown clearly that ha could make tha apsschsa all right but that ha is woefully lacking in knowing what to ayaak about. A number of times ha haa ballad op hia party and had to taka hack track by gutting off a lot of talk about knm thinf that ha eoold not make goad aa. It ia waU known that ha waata to ha judge of the Federal court of tha eastern district of tha State. Sena tar Simmons lives ia tha district and ha might have much to do with CaL Markina being confirmed for Jodfi by tha Senate. In tha light of all thia Col. Meek ins indulged in a lot of praiae about Senator Simmons and when hia words showed up m the pa — anfl Waty»Klij»an law ilaia -* U pwi Ami HcpvoiKwi iraoen ma n there was aothinr for the Colonel to 4o tat deny it all and charge the aewvwpera with misquoting him. One of the Colonel's favorite sub jects ia tha state banks. Be has found hi some way that many of these state banks are not sound and In some way, known only to the Col onel, he haa Isarail that there are Jaat 226 of thsas banks that are un sound and are ran by men "God never intended to he bankers." At that ia the way the wants to know how he found tha num ber to be 22S rather tlmn 224 or 2M. It looks Hke the Colonel might be on the inside to he abie to gat the exact of basks that Maw an thia talk being rotten was a fine subject to get off before folks who had not a cent in a bank nor owned a dollar of hank stock. But whan It showed °P In the papers next morning and bankers read It aa wall aa politicians there was nothing for the Colonel to 4a hot charge the reporter with mia> T* H«t OLtahr 23 A mMtinf which will be at rmry PMt importance to all the Pmby teriaa wow— in thia (action of Sorry and Stokee countiee will kt held ban in tha First Presbyterian church oa Thursday October 23.
