some degenerate cuss is sending you
out on q wild goose chase"
1t was evident that the colonel did
not want the matter known and he was
asked if he had ever heard of an anti
Cousins movement.
Never" was the prompt reply.
Why, / never heard of any meeting
nor do / know of any movement on
foot. / have always heard Cousins
lauded to the sky and have never heard
the first thing against him"
When asked II he had never heard of
any congressional aspirants and wheth-
er ne himself were not opposed to Mr..
Cousins, and was at the last election.
Col. Parker said that he had always
supposed that Mr.. j. l.. Carney would
like to be candidate for congressman,
and just the other day he understood
that Frank Cummings had congression-
al aspirations, but blame me-, he add
ed, .if / could believe IT. He said also
that he was not an anti-Cousins man,
altho, like many others he thought,
would prefer good Marshall county
man in the place to any one else. He
ldenied having taken any active part
against Mr.. Cousins in the last election.
Mr. Parker then commenced to inter
view the newspaper man and asked him
who in the world could have possibly
told him that an anti-Cousins meeting
was held in his office. Az the colonel
had not seen fit to confide, the reporter
| thought best to do likewise, altho he
suggested to the colonel that it might
be best 10 keep the keyhole OF his office
door stuffed with cotton when there was
another secret meeting on hand.
just as the interview was about to
llclose Messrs. Pierce. Williams anu
Pence stepped in at the front door and.
with a knowing wink and a shake of

the feeling on the subject. and if moth

nothing said about the matter.
