THE ALA. GA. AND NORTHERN.
The Railroad From Dawson to Mid
WAY. Fla.

'
way, Fla.
Hon w. G. Kendriek has m
troduced a bill to charter the Ala
bama, Georgia and Northern rail-
road, the line by which it is pre-
posed TO connect the Columbus
Southern and the Florida Central
and Peninsular system.
1t will be remembered that two
routes were surveyed last summer
Tor this road, one from Midway,
Fla, 10 Dawson, and another from
Quincy, Fla, to Richland, via
Cuthbert. 1t now seems that if
the road is built at all it will be
compelled to come to Dawson, as
an amendment has been tackled
on to the charter by the legislature
prohibiting it from paralIeling the
old Bainbrige and Cuthbert road.
A Columbus correspondents
writes ms follows to the Macon Tel
egraph;
The amendment tackled on the
charter Of the Georgia. Alabama,
and Florida railroad, prohibiting it
from pars lleIirg the road of the
proposed cambridge, Cuthhert
and Columbus road met with great
disapproval in this city. rhe evil
dent intention of the amendment
was to defeat the bill granting the
charter. The cambridge, Cuth>
bsrt and Columbus road bed and
charter are said to be owned by
certsin lawyers, members Of the
legislature, who had sufficient in.
tluenee to tack on the amend, kill-
ing the bill.
The road bed Of the proposed
Cuthbert line has been lying I'M
finished since about 1870. Several
attempts have been made to form a
company to push the road to COM
pletion, but they always failed.
Now when new corporation
comes in its field and proposes
building a line parallel to the
Cuthbert ioa |, the bill g anting
the charter is weighted down with
an amendment which precludes its
being built.
The parties who proposed build
ing the Georgia and Alabamaroad
ard not spectators and it is Ger,
tain that they will decline to buy
the road bed and charter OF any
company. So thai She parties own
ing the Cutkbert charter will not
succeed in forcing the projectors
Of the new road to buy their char.
ter and roadbeds.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
One of the LiYeliest Elections in
the History Of the City Promised.

the History ofthe City Promised.
1t is just fcrty.two days from
to-day when the municipal election
will take place, and it bids fair to
be almost as lively as some of our
former campaigns in Dawson.
While there has beea no formal
announcements for mayor, it is
known that there are several prom-
inentgentlemen who are not ayerse
to the honors. The names most
frequently mentioned in this con-
nection are ex-Mayor VIM. Kaig-
Ter, ex-Mayor Walter B. Cheat
ham and Col. j. G. Parks. All
three Of these gentleman are pop
ular, and a race between them
would be hotly contested and a
full vote brought out.
So lar Col. james, for clerk, and
Fred Clark, for treasurer, have no
opposition. They have held these
positions for years, and would be
hard to defeat.
In the race for aldermen fun
and excitement promise tie be
plentiful. Several young men
may make the race, and within the
next few days the names of the
"racers7 may come to the front.
The city Offices should be filed
with liberal ana conservative men,
whose main object should be to
build up tbs city and make the
necessary improvements. 1t is
pleasant to note The fact that the
young men are coming tc the
trout in state aud municipal poll,

A Contest Over the POstmastership,
Until last week no one had an
idea but that Mr. w. r. Baldwin,
the present popular and efficient
postmaster, wodld be retained un.
der Harrison's administration.
There now is more or less un-
certainty, as Capt. j. NJ. Aiexan-
der is making a strong effort to
secure the prize, and at one time
last week it was reported that the
appointment had been made and
that Capt. Alexander was the
lucky man.
This rumor proved untrue,
however, and Mr.. Baldwin is yet
attending to Uncle Sans business
with as much composure as
if he had a life tenure on the of,
fee.
Captain Alexander is equally as
confident that he is Dawson's
coming postmaster, and is watching
and waiting for his appointment.

How He Lo.t HIS Money.

From the New York sun.
A weazen-faced newsboy, SO small that
he could scarcely he seen through the
clouds of rain-wcighted mist, was being
jostlcd through City Hall park. He was
busily increasing the moisture by a
steady, heart-breaking cry, the sponta-
ncity of which betokened an ineradicable
sorrow. His face and hands were SO
dirty that il was almost impossible to dis
cover where his horribly ill-fitting clothes
left of and the boy began. He got ON the
track of several benevolent-looking men
and got as far AS "Plcasc, mister" with u
tale of woe, when he was separated from
ms intended victim by the hurrying
crowd. After each failure the boy
sohbed. The approaching night
thinned the crowd, so that the
little unfortunate was finally able to- at
tract the attention of n thin, old man,
whose straight up and down black coat.
black stock, and broad-brinmed, high hat
pronounced him u preacher. He bowed
his head and listened ~attentively while
the boy related his trouble. The old gem
tieman sighed as he heard how the boy
had lost all his money and how he
''couldn't git nowheres to sleep, no grub,
nor nuthin'." Pretty soon the boy saw
that the only thing hc was likely to get
from the old gentleman was sympathy,
and he scorned this with all the strength
he had.
'You haven't told me-" said the old
gentleman, show you lost your money.
Are you sure IL was not by gambling? ?"
"Naw," said the boy, ironically, iii was
