0 M WATSON FOR CONGRESS
ill Run for Congress as a Demo¬
crat, It is Thought, From
the Tenth District.
It looks like some one is deter
me d to stir up opposition to Tom
ardwick over in the Tenth Dis
ict. It has almost been definite
announced that he will be op
sed at the next election by Judge
.ogan and now comes the slate
ent that Tom Watson will want
, return to his old Congressional
, a t and will oppose Mr. Hard
ick.
I The following dispatch from At¬
lanta i9 causing considerable iuter
|st all oyer the State: 1.—“I feel
I Atlanta, Aug. sat¬
isfied that you can announce it as
ft fact in The Telegraph, if
ftou care to do so, that Tom W at
Kou Ihe i9 going to run for Congress in
Tenth district at the next
■lection and that he will make the
lace inent as a democrat,” said a prom¬
member of the legislature
Ind a warm personal friend of Mr.
IVatson, to your correspondent
fast I night. makes think so?” I
“What you
Risked.
“Why, I say so,” he continued,
|“for the reason that I have talked
to him quite recently upon the
kubject, and I am going to talk to
trim some more before the week is
Lut. Mr. Watson is at his home
nti Thomson and I am going down
ko see him again in a day or two.
|l lany think I am as close to Watson as
man in our district, and I be
pirtve that he i« going to enter the
race for congress at the next elec¬
tion, and it he does, he will give
Billy Hardwick a warm fight. II
he runs, and I think the “if” can
be dropped out, he will go before
the people iu the primary asadem
[ocrat. All the so-called populists
[of our district, or practically al
[of them, are now voting in the
democratic primary, and Watson
will get all of these votes, and a
good many of the old time demo¬
crats. But I will see you later ii
the week,” he said, “as soon as 1
get back from my visit to Thom¬
son and then I will be able to talk
to you more freely upon the sub
ject.'—Macon Telegraph.

COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1905.
M’DONOUGH DROPS Ti + j
STRAIGHTS TO COVINGTON.
Local Squad Adds Three More
Victorias to Their Already
Long List.
Three of the best games of ball
ever played on the local ground was
against McDonough Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
The boys came over confident
that three games would be taken
back and Covington was equally
confident that it couldn’t be done.
McDonough presented the
strongest line up that’s been on
the local ground this year. Only
one McDonough man played on
the team, the rest were secured
from Lawrenceville, Newnan, At¬
lanta, Montezuma and other places.
Every man on the team knew the
game and played it.
The first game was won by a
score of 6 to 4, Frank Anderson
was in the box for Covington and
pitched an excellent game. He
retired in the 9th inning with two
men down on account of a hurt
sustained in the shoulder while
pitching the ball.
The score in the scondgame was
3 to 2 and was probably the pret¬
tiest game ever played on the local
ground. The score stood 2 to 1
for McDonough in the ninth and
by a great rally Covington tied the
score. In the tenth Billy King,
who had pitched great ball, caught
the ball on his bat and drove it
over the center fielder’s head ’ for
three bags, bringing Branham, who
was anchored on firot, across the
plate with the winning run.
The third and last victory re¬
sulted in a score of 2 to 1, and
again the winning run was made
in the ninth. Irb Norman was in
the box and held the visitors safe
at all stages of the game. The
score was tied in the beginning of
the ninth. Billy King, first man
up, hit for three bags, between left
■md centerfielder. Branham hit to
short and King was thrown out
in attempting to come home, Bran¬
ham reching first on a fielder’s
choice. Cooper hit for three bags
and Branham scored.
Base Ball Notes.
---
Billy King is the pinch hitter of
be team. He’s always got one
safe hit stored away for an em-;
ergency.
Berggreu led the team last week j
in batting. In five games he made j
7 hits' with an average for the week j
of854. His weak hitting in the
early games keeps his average
down.
Norman's finger has htalcd
sufficient for him to take bis turn
in the Lox.
will play here Wed 1
Monroe ties
day, tie date of the Masonic cele-.
bratioi. A large crowd is expect- I
ed in from the country on that
day. Ham, the South Atlantic;
League twirler, will probably pitch
for Monroe.
Team Loses Three Straights.
The Covington team played three
games of ball in Winder this week,
losing all of them.
The team has had only one
pitcher iu shape, Billy King. An¬
derson and Norman have not been
in shape to do box work owing to;
injuries.
Again, the team was
ed, being on foreign soil, The
three games were played in the
rain, making the hard luck story
still worse.
They return Saturday tc play a
game with the Southern Bell’s, of
Atlanta.
For the news, g* The
CHILD LABOR BILL PASSED.
Vote Was 103 to 62—It Is Said a
Great Effort Will be Made to
Kill it in Senate.
Amid much applause and great
enthusiasm the Bell child labor
bill was adopted by the house of
representatives Thursday morning
bv a vote of 103 to 63.
On motion of Mr. Bell the bill
was immediately transmitted to
the senate, and may be considered
in that body within the next week
It is said a pronounced effort will
be made to “kill the bill” in the
senate, but its advocates are hope
ful.
Luckily for the bill, Senator
Steed, Miller, Candler and Reid,
who were in the house when the
bill was up before, and who favor¬
ed it there, are now in the senate
and will doubtless see to it that
this bill is not wrecked in the up
per house.
Representative J. W. King cast
his vote in opposition to the
measure.
How Mr. King Stood.
In reporting the detailed vote of
the house of representatives an the
motion to reconsider the action of
the house in putting a tax of $1,000
on liquor dealers and dispensaries,
and which led afterwards to the re¬
duction of the tax to $500, the
name of Mr. King, of Newton, was
inadvertently 7 omitted from the list
Mr. King voted in fayor of recon¬
sideration of the high tax amend¬
ment.—Atlanta Constitution.
Notice Veterans.
Captain Dalton Mitchell who is
connected with the Roster Com¬
mission of Ga. is iu our city seek¬
ing information about the records
of the Confederate soldiers who
enlisted from this county in the
sixties. He has left with Major
Jne. B. Davis. Jefferson-Lamar
Camp, and the Enterprise office a
list of names of those s'oldiers who
left this place of whom no record
has been obtained. It is the ear¬
nest wish and desire of the Com¬
missioner that the record of each
soldier be filled out ns completely
as possible by some relative or
friend and urge the necessity ot
their going at once to either of the
named places and giving all
the information which they may
i jave regarding these old and gal
j ai , t soldiers who wore the gray.
