Liberty. Greene county has a sensation,
the original issue Of which was that w. G.
d. Lundy had offered T. NJ. Chapman $40
to state in writing that he Chapman had
been loaned the same sum by lrby Hudson,
Z. I. and w. h. Adams upon the condition
that he should join the democratic club.
Mr.. Lundy denounced the same as false.
Chapman said in the presence Of witnesses
that the article was the truth It's a Ques-
tion OF veracity between the two men. But
the Chapman are still after Col. Hudson's
scalp and they have some salty cards in the
HerdId-Joltraal of Friday. w. T. Chap
man, IN card, says: 81 can raise
a few more $40 bills if necessary to
put down a low political trick or to
relieve my brother of any obligation 10 a
man OF Col. Hudsons pure character and
high standing. Now, Col Hudson. pray
tell me how and where did you get the
money that You loaned my brother? Did
you make IL, did you marry it, or was il
campaign fundsi 1t must have been the
latter. as you could so readily give me in
structions the morning | settled with you.
Everybody knows you didn't make it. Col.
Hudson has known me a long time, and
defy him to prove that got money any
other way than by hard work. II he can
not do this IL 10 very low and contemplate
for man of his pure character aud high
standing to tnsinuRte that | was getting
money any other way" This matter
| threstens TO be live issue in the campaign.
| At least 1t is causing more talk than any
| other.
| Aus COhSFeS5lOuAl campaign III Inc
Seventh dissrict is beginning to assume
definite shape, so far as the
| democracy is concerned. or the thirteen
counties in the district five have acted up
TO date, and four of these have instructed
| for Judge John W. Maddox. giving him, e.
| date, votes. as follows: Paulding 2, Chat
tooga 2, HARRISON 2, and Walker 2. The
only county that has positively instructed
| for K. w. Everett is his home county, Polk,
which gives him votes. Cobb and Bar
| tow have been reported as instructing fer
Everett, bur 1t is held by citizens OF those
| counties that no bona fide action has yet
been taken. Not long ago a mass meeting
was held in Cobb and one in Barlow, which
| were supposed TO pledge those counties to
| Everett, but 1t now appears that those
mass meetings were not called for she pur-
pose OF selecting congressional candidate,
| and 1t is reported that the executive com
mistees Of those counties have ordered
! primaries to be held in a short time. Floyd
| will hold It's convention Tuesday, aud, if it
| should 20 for Maddox, he will have four
teen votes to his credit. Al present, 1t is
| impossible to tell what the counties OF Bar
tow, Whitfield, Cobb, Catoosa, Gordon,
| Murray and Dade are going to do. On next
| Tuesday Murray will act. and on Saturday
following Dade will declare its choice The
general impression is that the choice of
Floyd will carry off the nomination, and
Floyd has been regarded all aloug as q Mad
dox county. All OF the other Enacted
counties are doubtful.
