WHO'LL BE The PURCHASER?
COLUMBUS SOUTHERN WILL BE
SOLD TODAY
At Receivers Sale in Columbus. Sew.
eral Probable Bidders. Upset
Price 100000,

Who will buy the Columbus Southern?
This road will be placed on sale today
in Columbus. The date of the sale was
originally fixed at an earlier day, but
the sale was ordered postponed at the
request of the bondholders, who did not
want the property placed on the market
until after the presidential election,
when business conditions would have
resumed their normal state. The ninth
day of December was the date fixed for
the sale, and the road will be sold today
unless there is some unexpected deYel-
ment.
There are various rumorS as to who
will be the probable purchaser of the
road. One of them, and it is quite a
popular one, is to the effect that the
purchaser will be the Georgia and Ala
bama, the cd Sam road. This road has
wanted to get into Columbus for long
time, and it now has an opportunity to
do so. AS, is we'll known, the Columbus
Southern intersects tie Sam road at
Richland, forty miles below Columbus.
BY purchasing the Columbus Southern
the Georgia and Alabama could estab-
lish short through route from Colum-
bus to Savannah, running daily trains to
Savannah from Columbus via Richland,
Other possible bidders are the South
ern, the Central and Plant systems. If
none of these roads bid then the bond
holders will step in and buy the proper
ty.
The upset price is 100000, and the
purchaser must plank down $25, 900 in
cash. The sale will be conducted by
Captain j. W. English, special commits
sioner, who was appointed by Judge
Newman for that purpose.

CONVICT ASSAULTS A WOMAN.
Miss Camp May Die of Injuries Inflicted by
TrustY.

Miss Camp May Die of Injuries Inflicted by
a TrustY.
ALBANY, GA, December 3.-About 3
O'Clock this afternoon a negro convict
named Warren, alias Sankey, Cunning
ham committed assault and attempted
murder upon Miss Katie Camp of this
county. The crime was committed at the
Camp home, one mile south of the cor
porate limits of the city.
Cunningham was trusty on the coun-
ty changing.
The convict stockade buildings are
located about 400 yards from Camps
house.
The members of the Camp household
came into the city this afternoon, except
the eldest daughter, who remained to
care for the house. Sankey Cunning
ham, unnoticed, went from the stockade
to Camps house. She screamed for help
when he entered, but no one was near
enough to hear her, though the house is
within few feet of one of the most fire.
quen!ed public roads in the county. The
negro attacked Miss Camp with a piece
of sharp iron, striking her five or six
blows on the head and inflcting wounds
that may prove fatal. He fled, believing
his victim dead. He was captured dur
ing the night and spirited away by Off
GERS to prevent lynching.

CITY ELECTION TODAY.
MAYOR AND THREE ALDERMEN TO
BE CHOSEN.
RumOrS of Opposition to Doctor
Chea than for Mayor. The
Registration.

The annual city election occurs to-
day. Three of the present aldermen
hold over, and there are only a mayor
and three aldermen to elect.
Alta primary held a month ago DR..
w. B. Cheatham for mayor and Messrs.
w. II. Davis, j. G.. Dean and F. NJ.
Jennings for aldermen were,nominated
These are all prominent citizens and
are capable of giving Dawson pro-
gressive and economical administra-
ton.
DR.. Cheatham, who is one of the most
popular citizens of Dawson, has at
different times been connected with
the city government as both mayor and
alderman, and his knowledge of city
affairs and his former experience equip
him for the responsible position for
which he has been nominated.
Messrs Davis and Dean are members
Of the present board Of aldermen and
are experienced city fathers, Mr.. Davis
is one of the most public spirited and
indefatigable aldermen the city has
ever mad, ana is potent factor IN
shaping the financial policy of the city
government DR.. Dean also has fine
record as an alderman, and his friends
can point to his administration of the
responsible position of chairman of the
street committee with pride.
Mr.. Jennings, is one of the city's
most prosperous merchants and best
business men, and although he has
never occupied a seat in the city leg1s-
lature he can be safely entrusted with
aldermanic duties and responsibilities.
In the primary he received the highest
number of votes that were cast for any
one man.
For several days there has been talk
of opposition to the nominee for may
or. DR.. Cheatham's majority over
Mayor Baldwin was only tWovotes, and
some of the latter gentleman's friends
do not think he was defeated fairly.
What there is in these rumOrs THE
News does not know, and it may be that
there is surprise in store for the vo-
ters this morning.
The number of registered voters is
476. OF these 300 are white and 176
are negroes.
There should be a full vote today.

SPARKS AND ALIENS CIRCUS
will Exhibit in Dawson Next Monday, De

| will Exhibit in Dawson Next Monday, De-
cember 14th.
Maybe you're blase about circuses.
Maybe it takes a show with more rings
than barrel has hoops, with platforms
between the rings, and everything from
Edison's latest invention to a three-tai =
ed Mexican dog, to arouse your inter-
est.
Well, you know that when man has
been living on canvas back duck and ter
rapin and champagne until French me-
nu card gives him quaims, the doctors
set him down to some good, weird old
roast beef, with maybe stewed tomatoes
on the side.
Thus as a cure for your lost circus
habit by all means take a trip to Sparks
d Aliens colossal one-ring circus. It's
true there's only one ring, but it's big
enough for the biggest show on earth,
and the horses do not have to lay out in
the air like cards shot through the wind
when they go around. This is said TO be
as good circus as ever you crawled un-
der the canvas to see and as wholesome
and refreshing as the pies mother used
to bake. You'll ENJOY this show more
than anything you ever saw under any
canvas, and you'll have chance to COM
pare the talking and singing clowns of
long ago with the latter.day ones. There
are five singing, talking and grotesque
clowns with this show, to say nothing of
corps of leapers, tumblerS, gymnasts,
aerialists and equestrians, besides a big
museum of curOsties and one Of the
greatest schools of trained animals ever
exhibited under circus tent.
The ad mission is only % cents for
adults and 10 cents for children.
A free balloon ascension and thrilling
parachute Jump will be given twice dali
ly-at and 7 p. m. on date OF perform
ance; this is for everybody, whether you
attend the circus or not. Above all =,
keep in mind the day and date, which
is Monday, December IA

submitted to the house of representa-
tives by Mr.. Little, chairman of the
finance committee, shows an increase OF

A Good Show to Exhibit Here on
Friday.
Salt Lake is in for lot of circuses
this season, and among the largest
touring in the country is the Syndicate
Shows and Paris Hippodrome, which
will exhibit for three days and nights,
commencing Tuesday, May r. This
show has been thoroughly reorganized
this season and presents many new fea-
lures, including Prof. Royale, who
makes leap from a LOO foot tower in
front of the big tent at II a. M, and a
herd of trained seals, a flock of os
triches. The circus contains three
rings and two platforms, and the per-
formances are spoken of as of unusual
excellence. j. N. Rentfrow, a Snowman
of life long experience is in charge,
ably assisted by Harry Murray.
The success of this show in Denver
was gratifying and its popularity was
greatly increased when the managers
generously gave the entire receipts of
one performance on last Saturday at
Cripple Greek for the benefit of the
sufferers. Their advertising car No. 4
pulled in this morning with the we'll
known Bob McReynolds in charge.
They will give Salt Lake City three
days and nights of the cleanest and
most delightful amusements of the sea-
son.
