\ PAINTING OF MEEK
MORE RELICS OF ALABAMA'S
 GIFTED WRITER.
Picture and Sword of the Distin- guished Author Presented to the State Department of Archives
 and History.

Hon. W. c. Meek of Columbus, Miss. presented last night to the Department of Archives and History the sword and oil painting of his distinguished uncle 1 Judge Alexander B. Meek. Last night s donations were supplementary to the val uable contributions made by MT. Meek several days ago.
 l Although Judge Meek was one of the most distinguished men. of letters that Alabama has produced there has been no
 relic or memento of him in the Depart ment beyond copies of some of his pub lished works. This deficiency has been
 supplied by Mir. Meek's generosity in con- tributing many of the personal effects of Alabama's gifted son.
 The gift made last night includes life- sized oil portrait of the author, the sword carried by him in the Indian war and several unpublished manuscripts. In the Creek War of 1SS6 Judge Meek went out from Tuscaloosa as an officer in a com pany of volunteers. He was soon after made Attorney General of Alabama and ! in the years that followed he attained many positions of honor and distinction. Alabamians are especially indebted to him for vivid pictures of Indian and pio- neer life in the early days of the State. He was a native genius who found in his own land and among his own people fruitful subjects for his gifted pen.
 The unpublished manuscripts of Judge Meek will be, it is confidently expected. embodied with his published works in a new and attractive editon.
 While here Mir Meek was the guest of Director Thomas M. Owen of the State Department of Archives and History

 "Whatever I may have said ten years ago can have no possible significance now. Railroad conditions have changed radically within the last ten years and it has been necessary for railroad managers to change their views. No successful railroad man has stood still. I expect to take up things as l find them in tho New York, New Haven and Hartford and deal with each question as the exigencies de- mand''
