Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar condition of affairs appears In the political situation In Muscogee county and there la evidently much alarm existing In some quarters. Ths friends of the two leading can didates for governor are no doubt somewhat rattled as to the urgent means adopted to bring them back In closer 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. Bmlth that his election was a foregone conclusion, but somehow since that time they do not appear to be so strongly Intrenched as they thought they were. The Howell element waa 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 carry the county that he would not come here until urged to do so by his friends, nnd they would not ask him to come until they became aware of the uneasiness existing In both the other ramps. It Is now seen that In order to hold the Howell party together men who are closely nlfled to him are sent here to strengthen his cause, for It appears that fears are entertained that Judge Russell Is taking votes from Howell Instead of Smith, os was at flrst supposed. There Is a vagueness of expression and a lukewarmness In enthusiasm that shows the voters are troubled. ditch. Mr. Hardwick hn«. defied the constitution of the United States, and 1 have this In two of his speeches. Every member of congress In his oath of office has to say that he will uphold the constitution of the United States and I will see that he either purges himself or repudiates his remarks or Is not given his seat In the national house.

Practically four candidates are now In the field for railroad commissioner as successor to Joseph At. Brown, whose term expires October, 1907, and whose successor Is to be elected In oc tober, 1$06. On the Anal day of the session the house concurred In the senate amend ment to the bill to elect the railroad commissioners by the people, and It now only remains to have the govern or's signature to.become a law. Before the bill had passed, Hon. Tom Crenshaw had announced his candi dacy. He was formerly on the com mission. nnd Is considered an able man, Members of the house circulated a petition, which was signed by practi cally every member of the legislature, urging Representative Kondren Mitch ell, of Thomasvllle, to become a can didate. While Mr. Mitchell has not formally announced his decision. It Is believed he will enter the lists. Editor Jesse E. Mercer, of the Fits geruld Enterprise, comes forward tu 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 Is believed that he will be a can didate to succeed himself. Ho Is mak ing a speech Jn Cobb county Thurs* day. Who is Eligible? Rather a delicate question arose over the selection of the next commissioner. The law expressly stipulates that one of the commissioners shall bo an ex pert railroad man, another a lawyer and the third a business innn. The act to elect by the people does not change this provision. Commissioner Brown Is the railroad expert, Hon. Warner Hilt tho lawyci and Colonel Rtephens the business man. Commissioner Brown's term expires flrst. Therefore a railroad expert must be selected a* his successor under the act. According to a strict interpret tlon neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Mar cer can be so classed. Both Commls aloner Brown and Colonel Crenshaw are. It remains to be seen whether this classification will meet with strict en forcement, and what efTect It will have on the field. : WOMAN SAID TO NAVE HIT NEGRO effect that he had challenged Hon.

"Sir: Your letter reached me right In the midst of the most pressing official business, but hurried as 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 seon In print* so often, and I have mentioned some of the circumstances which gave rise to the rumors. As to what you did In the West In 1904, { have repeated word for word, ns nearly as possible, what you yourself told me on the train from Camak to Thomson, in 1904, nnd elsewhere, namely, that you and the Republicans were working together, and that after the 1904 ejection you would have control “down here," etc. I suppose, in the whirligig of your politics you see for the first time where you think you can us«v this to good political advantage, ana 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 tpe 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, Esq.—Sir: Yours-re- celved. 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, and I now denounce that statement as an In famous falsehood. You wrote me lri' Florida, requesting me to be neutral In the postoffice matter, and 1 was neu tral. When my sister urged me to help her get the office, 1 declined. Then when you wrote me again nnd 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, and It seems that you have been denouncing me. Had Tom Hardwick not have helped you, Judge Speer would have knocked you put again, and Hardwick would not have helped you had he known that you were my enemy. I 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 scrupulous slanders. "THOMAS E. WATSON.” The challenge said to have been written to Mr. Watson Is ns follows: "Thomson, Ga.. August 11, 1906.— To Hnn. Thomas E. Wntson.—Sir: I received your letter Saturday night anil this is my first opportunity to rep’y. Some of the language In your letter v very offensive to me and I hereby beg that you will retract every word nnd every syllable of it, or falling in that, that you will indicate nt what time nnd place on the frontier of a neighboring state we may continue this correspond ence.

"It Is vital that the party remain In power the coming two years.

The power of the courts to Issue Injunctions to prevent Injury to property rights for which there Is no adequate remedy nt law, Is older than tho constitution. The right of each citizen Is to come and go to nnd from his property without molestation add to carry on business thereon, and he Is entitled to protection through the courts. “The organised labor that Mr. Gom-' pors claims to represent Is composed of people who have the right to organize.
