Augusta Chronicle: The third party De-
Ut on for federal supervisors was signed
with the name OF at least one man without
bis knowledge or consent, aud he is justly in
dlgn6ut at he unwa ra ted liberty. W
w. Davis. who is employed at the CITY
cenetery, said, with apparent feeling to a
chronicle reporter yesterday: my name
is attached ~ the petition but | know
no hing of it at all. 1 consider Mr.. Bar

DO not participate in any such methods. ="
He went on to say that while he was Wat

and he did not want his name connected
with any such thing as that petition for fed
eral supervisors.
Douglasgille NeW South: The third party
campaign Committee b q hauled down lie
nag, and the conces ion now comes from
Secretary Oscar Parker that the democrats
will EJECT every Congressman from Georgia
a that Watts )n will be defeated BY ur0ha-
bly, 1000 votes. Secretary Parker IS about
the only official Il tue committee that has
mad tue nerve to rem Ain at the teadQuarters
OF the dead party, and it appears as if he
wishes to be out OF tue ace and
rid of tie whole affair. Here's
the way Oscar talk ahou' it,
and while he was delivering himself of { ese
vie he smiled sadly: ~ are still max
ing tight In Georgia, doing all We can.
Cendldly, do not believe We will elect
81 gle 'ngressnan. 1t now appears al if
MIR. Watson will be defeated by from l 500
to 1000 votes. The democrats hSve con-
centrated thei forces here, here they have
male tneir fight, a it seems they've got
us. We will not give up the fight entirely,
however. We hope to succeed some dayn

Augusta Chronicle: The application made
by tue me u sarE Of ths taira Darsy to Judge
Pardee fer tbs APP hntnent Of federal alec
ton supervisors. has caused no scare or goa
sternatiol . thin ths dsinocratic RANKS!
Further than ths insult offered by th ap-
plicstion forsupervisors, the democrats have
no lear or serious objection to their appo Mt
ment for they are confident that Watson
will be teaten, and many third, party " hite
men turned back into the old democra 10
fold. When the news was first reoeive, that
there was a movement on foot to make apS
plicstlon to Judge rardee for the appoint
ment of supervisors, Maj. Joseph b. Cum
ming. Maj. George I. Barnes and Hon
j segh K. Lamar, as a committee Of three
from the democratic league, were appointed
to look into the law bearing on the
subject in counties where registration
was required. President Boykin
Wright, OF the league some.
time ago wrote Judge Speer on the subject,
stating that IL such application should be
made, before the appointment of supervisors
the dem icratic league would like to have a
hearing. When the news was received that
the application for supervisors had bee
filed, Maj. Cumming. on behalf OF the COM
mlttee, wrote Judge Speer asking for hear
ing, with the time place and method for
the same. 1t is claimed that the appoint
ment of supervisors at this lime is illegal
Acc riding to the views OF the committee, it
ia held that In counties where there is a
regis ration law, application for the hp-
pontment of federal supervisors must be
made ten days before the register books for
the election are opened, and not ten days
before the election and several months after
the registration books have been opened for
said election. This has no bearing on the
appointment of mArshals. They can be ap.
pointed asany time. An answer is expected
to-day Or ln-inorrnw from .Iudra Snaer
