Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar
condition of affairs appears In the
political situation In Muscogee county
and there la evidently much alarm
existing In some quarters.
Ths friends of the two leading can
didates for governor are no doubt
somewhat rattled as to the urgent
means adopted to bring them back In
closer touch with the voters.
Before the Smlth-Howell debate oc
curred here there was no doubt In the
minds of the many supporters of Mr.
Bmlth that his election was a foregone
conclusion, but somehow since that
time they do not appear to be so
strongly Intrenched as they thought
they were.
The Howell element waa also greatly
strengthened by the debate, and de
clared their candidate surely would go
Into the governor's chair, •
Judge Russell was so sure that either
one or the other of these two would
carry the county that he would not
come here until urged to do so by his
friends, nnd they would not ask him to
come until they became aware of the
uneasiness existing In both the other
ramps. It Is now seen that In order to
hold the Howell party together men
who are closely nlfled to him are sent
here to strengthen his cause, for It
appears that fears are entertained that
Judge Russell Is taking votes from
Howell Instead of Smith, os was at
flrst supposed. There Is a vagueness
of expression and a lukewarmness In
enthusiasm that shows the voters are

Practically four candidates are now
In the field for railroad commissioner
as successor to Joseph At. Brown,
whose term expires October, 1907, and
whose successor Is to be elected In oc
tober, 1$06.
On the Anal day of the session the
house concurred In the senate amend
ment to the bill to elect the railroad
commissioners by the people, and It
now only remains to have the govern
or's signature to.become a law.
Before the bill had passed, Hon. Tom
Crenshaw had announced his candi
dacy. He was formerly on the com
mission. nnd Is considered an able man,
Members of the house circulated a
petition, which was signed by practi
cally every member of the legislature,
urging Representative Kondren Mitch
ell, of Thomasvllle, to become a can
didate. While Mr. Mitchell has not
formally announced his decision. It Is
believed he will enter the lists.
Editor Jesse E. Mercer, of the Fits
geruld Enterprise, comes forward tu
the South Georgia candidate for the
place, and he will, it Is said, have
strong following.
Commissioner Joseph M. Brown has
not definitely announced his Intentions,
but It Is believed that he will be a can
didate to succeed himself. Ho Is mak
ing a speech Jn Cobb county Thurs*
day.
Who is Eligible?
Rather a delicate question arose over
the selection of the next commissioner.
The law expressly stipulates that one
of the commissioners shall bo an ex
pert railroad man, another a lawyer
and the third a business innn. The act
to elect by the people does not change
this provision.
Commissioner Brown Is the railroad
expert, Hon. Warner Hilt tho lawyci
and Colonel Rtephens the business man.
Commissioner Brown's term expires
flrst. Therefore a railroad expert must
be selected a* his successor under the
act. According to a strict interpret
tlon neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Mar
cer can be so classed. Both Commls
aloner Brown and Colonel Crenshaw
are.
It remains to be seen whether this
classification will meet with strict en
forcement, and what efTect It will have
on the field.

effect that he had challenged Hon.
Thomas E. Watson to a duel, and Mr.
Watson had refused to accept.
The reported clash between the two
Is said to have originated over a con
versation on a train some time ago.
The letters reported to pave passed
between the two are mm follows:
• Tror.ison. Oft., Aug. 11, 1906.
"Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson.
Gn.
"Sir: Your letter reached me right In
the midst of the most pressing official
business, but hurried as I am I write
you this short note. As to the report
that you sold out to the Republicans
In 1896, I have simply repeated what
we all have heard so often and seon
In print* so often, and I have mentioned
some of the circumstances which gave
rise to the rumors. As to what you
did In the West In 1904, { have repeated
word for word, ns nearly as possible,
what you yourself told me on the train
from Camak to Thomson, in 1904, nnd
elsewhere, namely, that you and the
Republicans were working together,
and that after the 1904 ejection you
would have control “down here," etc.
I suppose, in the whirligig of your
politics you see for the first time where
you think you can us«v this to good
political advantage, ana I note that
the boy who brings your note is very
Importunate for an Instant reply. The
fact that you have selected this day,
with all*your crowd in town, to try
to intimidate tpe has utterly failed of
Its purpose. In greatest haste,
"JOHN M. BARNES.".
Mr. Watson’s reply Is said to be as
follows:
"Thomson, Ga., August 11, 1906.—
John M. Barnes, Esq.—Sir: Yours-re-
celved. I regard It as an evasion of
my question. When you say that I told
you I would ‘have control down here,'
you state what is false. I have no
doubt now that you have used the lan
guage about which I inquired, and I
now denounce that statement as an In
famous falsehood. You wrote me lri'
Florida, requesting me to be neutral
In the postoffice matter, and 1 was neu
tral. When my sister urged me to help
her get the office, 1 declined. Then
when you wrote me again nnd asked
my active aid, I excused myself from
doing for you what I had declined to
do for my sister. Any sane man would
have been satisfied with this letter.
You were not, and It seems that you
have been denouncing me. Had Tom
Hardwick not have helped you, Judge
Speer would have knocked you put
again, and Hardwick would not have
helped you had he known that you were
my enemy. I went on your bond about
twenty years ago, when It required
courage to do It, and you are the only
man that I ever tried to help with a
Republican administration. Your base
Ingratitude is on a par with your un
scrupulous slanders.
"THOMAS E. WATSON.”
The challenge said to have been
written to Mr. Watson Is ns follows:
"Thomson, Ga.. August 11, 1906.—
To Hnn. Thomas E. Wntson.—Sir: I

power the coming two years. If tho
enemy should elect a house In Novem
ber that body In the Sixtieth congress
would not be In harmony with senate
or president, i There would be a 'tie-up'
In legislation.
“I am not In favor of this legisla
tion (anti-injunction) demanded by Mr,
Gompers. The power of the courts to
Issue Injunctions to prevent Injury to
property rights for which there Is no
adequate remedy nt law, Is older than
tho constitution. The right of each
citizen Is to come and go to nnd from
his property without molestation add
to carry on business thereon, and he Is
entitled to protection through the
courts.
“The organised labor that Mr. Gom-'
pors claims to represent Is composed of
people who have the right to organize.
They are of all churches and of no
church, skilled nnd unskilled, they be
long to all parties, they are aa Intelli
gent nnd as patriotic as any other equal
number of dtlzejs of the republic.
"In the business of their organiza
tion I have no doubt thnt they will
eo-operntc with those they [dace In
authority; but In their party affilia
tions I am rendy to take my chances
with them, without regard to the de
mands of Mr. Gompers, when ho seek*
to control their action at the ballot
box.”
