republican party in Georgia, have been

from congress as the democratic repre-
sentative from the Tenth district. Mr..
Watson, after taking all the testimony
in the Tenth district that he could get
at TO support his claims in the contest
for Mai. Blacks seat. concluded that it
would be a shrewd move to call In the
service OF some republican of great parti-
san reputation. He thought to use him
somewhat as an expert witness might
be called TO testify in medical jurispru-
dence. So he decided upon Col. Buck and
to-day the colonel was interviewed by
Mr.. Watson's lawyer here. Two other
witnesses were examined also. which con-
cludes the taking OF testimony in the
case
AS soon as the record can be gotten in
shape it will be dispatched TO Washing

mittee on privileges and elections.
With Boss Buck to substantiate his
claims. Mr.. Watson is confident that he
will and in Maj Blacks seat
The testimony was taken to-day in the
Office of Glenn & Rountree, Mr.. Watson's
lawyers. before Commissioner J. II. Gil
bert. There were present BOykin Wright
of Augusta, representing Mai. Black,
conducting the cross examination, and w.
c. Glenn who represented Mr.. Watson.
Strange, newspaper man, VINO was IN
Augusta during the registration before
the election, and testified about some of
the alleged Irregularities.
The next witness was Col Buck, whose
testimony was very necessary to the con-
test. as 1t touched upon the political af-
filiations of the republicans in this state.
One of the claims of the democrats of the
Tenth congressional district is that
great many republicans voted for Mr..
Black, and thus helped to elect him. Col.
Buck was asked about this, and he said
that the republicans of the state and that
district were naturally inclined TO the
populists, or those who opposed the dem
ocratic party.
Marietta, was the other witness presented
and he told a long story about things he
saw in Augusta on election day Mr.. Sib-
ley said that he saw men go to the regis
tration lists, get the names of people who
had voted, and then send negroes TO the
polls to cast ballots under the names He
saw this done frequently, he declared.

Augusta. Ca. Feb. 2s.-The address Of
Patrick Walsh in reference 10 the South
ern States Exposition at Chicago has been
forwarded to the governors Of the south
ern states. Copies have been mailed 10
the press. Mr. Walsh says that the pub
lie spirit and patriotism Of Chicago offers
TO the people OF the south an unparalleled
opportunity for the display of southern
products and resources Chicago provides
the money and management, and the
south is only to furnish the exhibits.
The address contains facts and figures
from official sources. showing the une-
qualled natural bOunties Of the south and
the substantial progress that has been
made in the utilization Of her natural
products. He shows that the south is
most inviting field, because Of the abun-
dance and cheapness Of her raw products,
for substantial and profitable development
in all of the manufactures of cotton, iron,
and wood. Mr.. Walsh says. "A union of the
productive resources and energies Of the
south and west would in time make Chi
cago the London of America. That city
has accomplished great things in the past,
and still greater triumphs await her in
the future.
'Chicago's patriotism has deeply touch
ed the heart of the south. The monument
that stands in that city to the memory
OF the confederate dead is lasting memo
rial of peace and friendship, and the
grandest tribute that victor ever paid to
Yanquished. The chivalric conduct of Col.
Turner and his gallant regiment has won
the gratitude and love of the southern
people"
