It is said that the governor does Informed a n,umber of his close poll- not desire a second term in his pres- tlcal friends of his intention to oppose ent office, believing that with his pro- Stevtf Clay before the next legislature mises to the people redeemed his 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 parlor to this close political advisers that he hoped to put his entire "reform program” through at the next session of the legislature, so 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 bis senatorial fight. Other speeches during the next year will further enunlcate bis policy, and, his adherents here claim, strengthen bis 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.

Americas, Ga. ATLANTA, Sept. 11.—(Special.)— Gov. Smith and his advisers, after ! thorough consideration of the ques tions Involved, have, it is stated, de cided to atack the validity of the four- 1 teenth amendment to the Constitution in the event of litigation in the Fed- j eral courts growing out of the re duction in railroad passenger or freight rates. Many Southern lawyers have main- 1 tained for years that the fourteenth * amendment was not legally adopted, and that on its legality being called In 1 » ,L _ TV Ax _ , «... ! WHEN READY TO BUILD Whether a Mansion, a Store or Cottage, see 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. In a recent issue of the Jeffersonian Tom Watson took his position and, in fact, has for some time insisted that at the earliest' legitimate oppor tunity the legality of the amendment should be,stacked. The fatt that 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' 1 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.
