Secretary Richard Cheatham, of the
association, while denying that he
has been Interested In “future” deal

a probing Just to show the public that
the charge Is unfounded. He says be
Is of the opinion that Hon. Harvle

While Mr. Anderson was speaking,
Hon. Joe H1U Hall, of Bibb, came
along, and, grasping the hand of the

"Have. yon got the papers to show

KILLED AT HIS 8AW MILL.
Atlanta, July 26—Unless the house Ing real
gets busy soon and tackles some of bl11 * wh,c

the senate bills which have been sent
over for consideration and paesage
It is altogether possible that the upper
house will shut down on the bills,
which, from time to tints, fl id their
way to the »<nate. The temper of
the senate waa clearly defined tome
time ago when a resolution v.n offer
ed asking that the house eet aside
one day a week for. the consideration
of senate measures.
At that time It was learned that a
rule embodying that sentiment was
in effect but that no attention was
being paid to it. That ruffled the
senators to. such purpose that It Is
hinted that some of tha moat cherish
ed bouts bills are likely to strike a
good big snag when they reach the

cratic Party—Development! ar*
Eagerly. Awaited.
Dublin, Ga., July 26—It Is reported
here on the authority, It Is said, of
Hon. Thomas Hardwick, congress
man from the Tenth district, that
Thomas E. Watson will on Friday
next make a speech at Thomson at
which time he will declare his return
to the democratic party and hie pur
pose to take part In the present cam
paign In the Interest ot Hoke Smith
candidate for governor.
The statement has created a great
deal of Interest here, .and there- Is
much speculation In regard to it. It
is believed because It la known that
Congressman Hardwick and Mr. Wat
son are very close together.. Mr.
Merdwlok was In the city, on Mopday
and the statement Is said to have
been made at that time.
It is of course well ‘known that
Mr. Watson Is a supporter of Mr.
Smith and It haa been assumed that
he would offer to vote In the eomlng
primary. -It has not 'been known
that he would deelare himself a dem
ocrat, however.
As to the Effect.

gives It ns his opinion that If Mr.

Watson will be made tho
chairman of tho convention and there- <

ocratic executive committee for the
next two years. This Is pur* spec
ulation, however, and there may hr
nothing in It. Mr, Watson may coa

consider It glory enough to be an
humble supporter of Mr. Smn^.
