Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar
condition of affaire appears In the
political situation In Muscogee county
and there Is evidently mpeh alarm
existing In some quartera.
The friends of the twe leading can
didate* fdr ^governor are no doubt
somewhat rattled as to the urgent
means adopted to bring them back In
loser 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.
Smith that his election was a foregone
conclusion, but somehow since that
lime they do not appear to bo so
strongly Intrenched as they thought
they were.
The Howell element was 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
cany the county that he would not
come here until urged to do so by his
friends, and they would not ask him to
come until they became aware of the.
uneasiness existing In both the other
camps. It Is now seen that In order to
hold the Howell party together men
who are qjosely allied to him are sent
here to strengthen Ills cause, for It
appears that fears are entertained that
Judge Russell Is taking votes from
Howell Instead of Smith, as was at
first supposed. There Is a vagueness
of expression nnd a lukewarmness In
enthusiasm that shows the voters are
troubled.

Augir.., Ga., Aug. 16.—It is report
ed he.e from Thomson that consider
able Interest haa been Caused In Mc-
.xaiTfe county by the statement ersd-
Jted to Captain John M. Barnes, to the
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 have passed
between the two are *s follows:
“Tromson, Ga„ Aug. 11, 1906.
“Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson.
Ga.
“Sir: Your letter reached me right In
the midst of the most pressing official
business, but hurried ns 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 seen
In print so often, nnd I have mentioned
some of the circumstances which gnYe
rise to the rumors. As to what you
did In the West In 1904, 1 have repeated
word for word, ns nearly as possible,
what you yourself told me on the train
from Camak to Thomson, In 1904. and
elsewhere, namely, that you nnd the
Republicans were working together,
and that after the 1904 election you
would hove control "down here,” etc.
I suppose, In the whirligig of your
politics you see for the first time where
you think you can use this to good
political advantage, and 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 pie 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, EJsq.—Sir: Youra re
ceived. 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, nnd I
now denounce that statement ns an in
famous falsehood. You wrote me Irt’
Florida, requesting me to be neutral
In the postottlce matter, and I was neu
tral. When my sister urged me to help
her get the office, 1 declined. Then
when you wrote me again and 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. nnd It seems that you
have been denouncing me. Had Tom
Hardwick not have helped you. Judge
Speer would have knocked you out
again, and Hnrdwlck would not have
helped you had he known that you were
my enemy. 1 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
pcrupulous slanders.
"THOMAS E. WATSON.”
The challenge said to have been
written to Mr. Watson Is as follows:
“Thomson, Ga., August PI, 1908.—
To Hon. Thomas E. Watson.—Sir: I
received your letter Saturday night and
thin Is my first opportunity to repiv.
Some of the language In your letter t
very offensive to me and I hereby beg
that you will retract every word and
every syllable of It, or falling In that,
that you will Indicate at what time and
place on the frontier of a neighboring
state we may continue this correspond
ence. Respectfully,
"JOHN M. BARKER
This will be handed to you by my

Editor Jesse E. Mercer, of the Fitz*
gerald Enterprise, comes forwnrd iis
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 1h believed that he will be a enn
dldate to succeed himself. He Is mak
Ing a speech In Cobb county Thurs
day.
Who it Eligible?
Rather a delicate question arose over
the selection of the next commissioner.
The law expressly stipulate that one
of the commissioners shall be an ex
pert railroad man, another u lawyer
and the third a business man. The act
to elect by the people does not change
this provision.
Commissioner Brown Is the railroad
expert, Hon. Warner Hill the lawyei
nnd Colonel Stephens the business man.
Commissioner Brown’s term expires
first. Therefore a railroad expert must
be selected ns his successor under the
act. According to a strict Interpreta
tion neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Mer
cer can be so classed. Both Commis
sioner Brown and Colonel Crenshaw
are.
It remains to he seen whether this
classification will meet with strict en
forcement, nnd what effect It will have
on the field.

That we heartily Indorse our United

e commnd their course In the United
Stales senste. We denounce the mn-
llclous end unjust attacks made upon
the personal character of 8enator Bai

Integrity, and we believe that these

who have, by design, wilfully attacked
him for the specific purpose of weak

THIRD CENTENARIAN DIES

It begins to look ns though Atlanta’s,
supply of centenarians was being rap

days there have been three negroes to

Watseku, HI., Aug. 16.—Speaker Can
non In hla address aaya In part:
"Tariff revision In time of prosperity
always haa halted, and always will
halt, business activity, production and
commerce. 1 Indorse the platform of
the Republicans ot Indiana, that the
Republican party will revise the tariff
when It will do more good than harm
to the mass of people.
"It la vital that the party remain In
power the coming two years. If the
enemy should elect a house In Novem
ber that body In the Sixtieth congress
would not be In harmony with senate
or president. There would be a ‘tie-up-
In legislation.
"1 am not In favor of this legisla
tion (anti-injunction) demanded by Mr.
Gompers. The power of the courts to
Issue Injunctlona to prevent Injury to
property rights for which there Is no
adequate remedy at law, Is older than 1
the constitution. The right of each
cltlsen Is to come and go to and from
hla property without molestation aifd
to carry on business thereon, and he Is
entitled to protection through the
courts.
"The organised labor thnt Mr. Gom- .
pars claims to represent Is composed ot
people who have the right to organize.
They are of all churches and of no
church, skilled and unskilled, they be
long to all portlas, they are aa Intelli
gent and aa patriotic as any other equal
number of cltlsrgis of the republic.
“In the business of their organisa
tion t have no doubt that they will
co-operate with those they place In
authority; but In their party affilia
tions 1 am ready to take my chances
with them, without regard to the de
mands of Mr. Gompers, when he seeks
to control thslr action at the ballot
box."
