wholly upon banks and banking in
our state. Mr.. Williams says that
per capita the state banks show de-
poSits of over $3.50, inclusive of ev-
cry man, woman and child and that
there has not been a single bank
failure in the state in upward of
twenty years. He believes our
banking laws are second to none
and bases his opinions on the study
of many banks in the West as well
as in other New England states.
MyrOn Adams, door-keeper of the
senate, didn't actually say he would
rather be door-keeper of the senate
Than dwell a thousand years in the
tents of the wicked" but we know
from what he did say that was
what he meant. He suggests that
while he had nothing to do with
making the laws, he had much to
do with the law makers, and, was
the hardest worked man on the job.
Rev. M. w. Farman said very
little, more than that he felt much
privileged to be present on this
occasion and that recent bereav-
ment in his family would preclude
any other remarks he might
naturally have made.
H. A. Black, clerk of the house
of representatives, gave very able
talk on legislative methods and urg-
ed every representative to try and
go back to that body again. Mr..
Black says much time is always lost
in the early part of each session of
the legislature in getting the legis-
lative wheels oiled up and in motion
and that it is due to the changing
of members each session. The pres
ent legislature refused to be hurried
and no legislation was sighted as is
usual in the final rush toward ad-
journment. He does not believe in
time limit, for the very reason
that time limit to any session
would mean hurried legislation.
W. P. Russell of Kirby, while of
Caledonia county, was invited to par.
take of the feast and to make a few
remarks. Mr.. Russell has been en-
gagged on state road work at Will
loughby lake the past two years and
finds he is almost an Orleanser in
stead of a Caledonian.
County Senator Seaver gave sort
of free for all talk and welcomed
the members to the hospitality of
Pisgah Lodge and its grounds.
Whether the senator really had pre-
monition that the family would this
season be running a hotel at VIII
loughby lake when he was working
for the fly fishing law of especial
relation to this lake, no one knows,
but the senator is suspected of ul-
terror motives in his reply to the
opposition.
Senator Wilcox remarked that
everything had been said and he
was left figuratively speeches..
The speech making however was
not confined to the invited guests,
and with President F. D. Caswell of
Derby as POSTMASTER, every repre-
sentative was called upon to make
his bow and timber up the light on
heavy artillery for the occasion.
The members being called in alpha
betical order of the town, Mr..
Wright whose vote was usually cal.
led for last on questions of impor.
lance now found himself, Albany
being his town, forced to make the
first break in the representative
body. Mr.. Wright, great talker,
refused on account of the lateness
of the hour to deliver any lengthy
Grafton. Mr.. Hamblet of Barton
turned to the little folder of invi
tation and showed conclusively that
therein was the book of life, made
up as it were, from men of our owy
county. For behold when you came
to the door, there stood Myror
Adams as door-keeper and if it be
necessary to send message either
on or back then Donald Keith hac
just such an appointment for THU
work. Mr.. Hamblet insists that il
Judge Advocate Grout should neeC
any counsel as to just what DISPOSE
ton should be made of you, that h,
can confer with Judge Miles a I'd tn,
decision will be just what you de
serve. He is undecided just what tn
