Georgetown, Hon. J D. Rambo, of
Fit. Gaines, Hon. Mr.. Powell, of
Blakely ana Hou. w. c. Worrill,
of Cuthbert. Messrs. Worrill and
Rambo have withdrawn from the
race, leavir 8 the other three gems
tlemen to make the contest.
The election will be held next
Friday, aud Dr. Kendrick says Col.
Query will surely be elected. Col.
Guerry's most formidable opponent
is col. Harrison, who was on the
grounds in Atlanta and at work tor
the Judgeship Tuesday morning
after Judge Clarke>s fatal accident
on Monday afternoon.
Mr., Harrison is an uncle of Col.
Query, and each of these gentle>
men is making it lively for the
other.
The daily papers speak in very
fattering terms of Col. Query and
say he will be elected.
His supporters are numbered by
the score, and are not voters alone,
but are active workers. He is
without doubt man of fine legal
ability, and his election is almost

THE ROUTE SURVEYED.
The Line of Raifroad -Suryeyes from
Midway to Dawson,

The Line of Raiiroad Surveyed from
Hidway to Dawson,
The surveying corps ofthe new
line o. railway from Dawson tt
Midway, Fla, reached the city
last Thursday, completing theil
work.
Mr.. Duval, the engineer in
charge, says the distance. on an air
line, is about ninety-niue miles,
He has been surveying !or a long
number of years and says that he
has never surveyed a route that
could be as easily aud cheaply
graded as this.
The line surveyed comes by the
Gross Roads, and comes into Daw.
son west of the colored Methodist
church.
Mr.. Duval says the T. r. & N.
Co. ,.who is having the survey
made, favors the route from Rich
land to cambridge, while the
[ olumbus Southern prefers the
route from Dawson IL Midway.
Mr.. Duval seems fully satisfied
that road will be built along one
Of the other routes ar once, and is
inclined to think that the road to
Dawson has the best chances.
Here is what the Leary Courier
thinks of the matter:
One of the surveying corps of
the Georgia, Alabama 81 Florida
railroad company spread their tents
in Leary last Friday evening and
remained until Monday, when they
pulled stakes and proceeded toward
Dawson. The line surveyed com
msnces at n idway, Fla, twelve
miles from Quincy, and will end at
Dawson, where in the event of the
road being built it will connect
with the Columbus Southern, thus
afording short and quick outlet
to the West for Florida fruits and
vegetables, The G. A, & F. Co.
are also surveying a route from
Quincy, Fla, to Richland, Ga,
running parallel with the line Of
! the b. G. & G. company. If the
q. A.& f. can put iron on that
route in advance of the B. G.. &
6. company, the line from Midway
to Dawson will be abandoned,
otherwise it will be built, and the
Quincy and Richland route be
abandoned. The Midway and
Dawson route is twenty miles
shorter than the other route, and
will cost less to build, while the
other route runs through more
popu!ous section, which would
insure an immediate larger local
traffic than the Midway and Daw.
son route These are the compar,
alive advantages of both routes,
and yet we are informed that the
q. A. d f. prefers the @. and
Il, route, but we do not think they
can get ahead of the b. G. & G.
company. and will thus be forced
to adopt the Midway and Dawson
route. 1t would be piece OF
great folly to build parallel roads
through Il section Of country which
could only sustain one.
