WANTS SEAT IN THE SENATE
GOVERNOR SMITH WILL OPPOSE SENATOR CLAY
His Speech at Sparta is Regarded as Opening Gun in a Redhot Campaign
in Georgia.
ATLANTA, GA., Sept. 11. (Special)
—The rumor gained new currency
here today that Governor Smith has
informed a number of his close poli
tical friends of his intention to oppose
Steve Clay before the next legislature
for the United States senatorship, and
plans were all laid to that end.
It is the general impression in well
informed circles here that Watson
will give his great influence to Smith
in the senatorial race.
Watson has practically expressed
his preference for Smith in opposi
tion to Clay, and it is currently be
lieved that this and other political
matters were discussed and finally
settled at the conference between the
governor, and Watson at Thomson to
day.
Gov. Smith, it is known, has inti
mated prior to this close political
advisers that he hoped to put his
entire “reform program” through at
the next session of the legislature, so
GOVERNOR TO MAKE A FIGHT
ATTACKING VALIDITY OT FOURTEENTH AMENDMENE
To Constitution, in Event Railroads Contest in Federal Courts New Pas
senger and freight Rates-Confers With Watson.
ATLANTA, Sept. 11.— (Special.)
Gov. Smith and his advisers, after
thorough consideration of ques
tions involved, have, it is stated, de
cided to atack the validity of the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution
in the event of litigation in the Fed
eral courts growing out of the re
duction in railroad passenger or
freight rates.
Many Southern lawyers have main
tained for years that the fourteenth
amendment was not legally adopted,
and that on its legality being called
in to question before the United States
Supreme Court that body would be
compelled to maintain that the con
stitutional rovvisions regulating an
amendment to the Constitution
had not been complied with
and that the amendment re
ferred to was void.
DRENCHED IN SOILING WATER
Fearful Accident on a Locomotive Here. Two Men
Are Injured.
Charles Fulford of Americus, a fire
man on the Seaboard Railway and
well known here, is suffering excru
ciatingly at the Americus Hospital
as the result of a peculiar and serious
accident occuring in the freight yards
here.
So serious are his injuries that it is
feared he may not survive the shock
and terrible ordeal.
Nearly all the cuticle has peeled
off his badly burned body, and late
last evening it was said his condition
was precarious, and that he might
not recover.
The accident which may cost Fire
man Fulford his life, or leave him
maimed for all time, perhaps, occur
red at near the midnight hour Tues
day night, and was not known gen
erally until early yesterday morning.
Fireman Fulford was doing duty
on a shifting engine, in charge of
Engineer Gammage.
The crew was drilling cars at the
transfer tracks near the Shiver lum
ber yard, when the engine “side-wip
ed” the car of a freight train left
standing near the switch.

that he would be hands free for the
senatorial race.
It is said that the governor does
not desire a second term in his pres
ent office, believing that with his pro
mises to the people redeemed his
real work as Governor will have been
completed.
He aspires to carry on this work at
Washington, his friends say, and if
elected to the Senate would join forces
with La Follete and other so called
radicals in that body.
The governor’s speech to the farm
ers of Hancock county is looked upon
as the first gun in his senatorial fight.
Other speeches during the next year
will further enunicate his policy, and,
his adherents here claim, strengthen
his hold on the people, and especially
on the agricultural classes.
It is generally understood that Tom
Watson will give his influence and
the support of the populist party to
Tom Hardwick for the governorship.
In a recent issue of the Jeffersonian
Tom Watson took liis position and,
in fact, has for some time insisted
that at the earliest legitimate oppor
tunity the legality of the amendment
should be atacked.
The fact t-hat Gov. Smith visited
Watson at his home at Thomson, re
turning to Atlanta, has led to the con
jecture that the governor wished to
talk over this feature of the railroad
situation with him.
Considerable gossip has been creat
ed by the publication of the governor’s
visit to Watson, and it is the impres
sion that the Georgia press for the
next few days will be full of conjec
tures as to the trend of their conver
sation and the effect of future poli
tics in this state of their union, for
it is generally accepted as a fact that
the Governor and Watson are now
working in harness.

fortunate man in the cab was drench
ed by a flood of boiling hot water from
the broken pipe.
From his neck to his heels the
bciling water poured out upon him
ere he could escape.
Engineer Gammage sprang to Ful
ford’s rescue, and in rendering him
aid had his own hand blistered by
the hot water that still poured out
upon him.
Maddened by his intense suffering,
Fulford ran screaming up Church
street to the city. People were awak
ened by his cries of agony as he strug
gled along upon blistered feet, seek
ing a physician and relief from his
suffering
He thus reached the Hotel Windsor
front, where he was put in a hack
and carried to the hospital.
His injuries were found to be most
severe. Nearly all the skin had
peeled from the upper part of his
body, while in places the flesh was
exposed from contact with the boiling
water which almost cooked it His
condition is distressing.
While Mr. Fulford may possible re
cover, it is said that the chances are
much against him.
