Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar condition of affaire appears In the political situation In Muscogee county and there Is evidently mpeh alarm existing In some quartera. The friends of the twe leading can didate* fdr ^governor are no doubt somewhat rattled as to the urgent means adopted to bring them back In loser 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. Smith that his election was a foregone conclusion, but somehow since that lime they do not appear to bo so strongly Intrenched as they thought they were. The Howell element was 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 cany the county that he would not come here until urged to do so by his friends, and they would not ask him to come until they became aware of the. uneasiness existing In both the other camps. It Is now seen that In order to hold the Howell party together men who are qjosely allied to him are sent here to strengthen Ills cause, for It appears that fears are entertained that Judge Russell Is taking votes from Howell Instead of Smith, as was at first supposed. There Is a vagueness of expression nnd a lukewarmness In enthusiasm that shows the voters are troubled. REWARD FUND RAISED BY HOKE SMITH CLUB. Special to The Georglnu.

Barnes, to the effect that he had challenged Hon. Thomas E. Watson to a duel, and Mr. Watson had refused to accept. The reported clash between the two is said to have originated over a con versation on a train some time ago. The letters reported to have passed between the two are *s follows: “Tromson, Ga„ Aug. 11, 1906. “Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson. Ga. “Sir: Your letter reached me right In the midst of the most pressing official business, but hurried ns 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 seen In print so often, nnd I have mentioned some of the circumstances which gnYe rise to the rumors. As to what you did In the West In 1904, 1 have repeated word for word, ns nearly as possible, what you yourself told me on the train from Camak to Thomson, In 1904. and elsewhere, namely, that you nnd the Republicans were working together, and that after the 1904 election you would hove control "down here,” etc. I suppose, In the whirligig of your politics you see for the first time where you think you can use this to good political advantage, and 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 pie 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, EJsq.—Sir: Youra re ceived. 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, nnd I now denounce that statement ns an in famous falsehood. You wrote me Irt’ Florida, requesting me to be neutral In the postottlce matter, and I was neu tral. When my sister urged me to help her get the office, 1 declined. Then when you wrote me again and 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. nnd It seems that you have been denouncing me. Had Tom Hardwick not have helped you. Judge Speer would have knocked you out again, and Hnrdwlck would not have helped you had he known that you were my enemy. 1 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 pcrupulous slanders. "THOMAS E. WATSON.” The challenge said to have been written to Mr. Watson Is as follows: “Thomson, Ga., August PI, 1908.— To Hon.

Editor Jesse E. Mercer, of the Fitz* gerald Enterprise, comes forwnrd iis 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 1h believed that he will be a enn dldate to succeed himself. He Is mak Ing a speech In Cobb county Thurs day. Who it Eligible? Rather a delicate question arose over the selection of the next commissioner. The law expressly stipulate that one of the commissioners shall be an ex pert railroad man, another u lawyer and the third a business man. The act to elect by the people does not change this provision. Commissioner Brown Is the railroad expert, Hon. Warner Hill the lawyei nnd Colonel Stephens the business man. Commissioner Brown’s term expires first. Therefore a railroad expert must be selected ns his successor under the act. According to a strict Interpreta tion neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Mer cer can be so classed. Both Commis sioner Brown and Colonel Crenshaw are. It remains to he seen whether this classification will meet with strict en forcement, nnd what effect It will have on the field.
