NEW RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
It Is evident that the residents of
the section Immediately south and
southwest of Albany are determined
not to struggle along very much long
er without railroad facilities. Baker
county has no railroad, and there are
portions of Miller and Mitchell which
are well removed from the busy lines
over which flows the commerce of the
section.
During the last few days Cairo, the
county seat of Orady, has come Into
prominence as a seeker after Increased
railroad facilities, and her citizens
have gone to work with the evident
determination to accomplish some
thing definite before the enthusiasm
of the hour has time to cool. Newton
and Camilla have asked to be counted
In, and the pledge of encouragement
and support by Albany business men
has been asked and given. While the
Albany-to-Calro-and • the • Gulf move
mont thus assumes promising shape,
the plan of the Albany & Northern
railway to extend Its line southward
from this city to Newton, Colquitt and
othor points has not been abandoned.
There are still other schemes afoot
but on the whole'the Cairo prospect Is
decidedly the most promising on Al
bany's horizon, In view of yesterday’s
encouraging nieeilng of Interested
parties In this city.

THE 8MITH.WAT80N DEAL.
Joe Ohl, the Washihgton correspond
ent of the Atlanta Constitution, writes
that Hoke Smith’s refusal to declare
himself as between Senator Bacon and
Tom Watson, In reply to the question
put him at Cummtng, has created
profound impression In Georgia cir
cles In Washington, and the construc
tion generally placed upon It Is that
back of the Smith movement Is the
probable candidacy of Watson for the
Senate. Taken In connection with
Watson's own boast In the November
Issue of his magazine that he could
defeat Senator Bacon In a primary
open to all white voters of the state,
Irrespective of party affiliations, such
,as Smith and his Populist supporters
advocate, some Democrats believe
that a deal Is on to bring Watson out
as a candidate for the Senate, either
against Senator Bacon or against Sen
ator Clay.
Griggs In Congress.
From the Balubrldge Hearohllght.
.We have no objection to Jim Griggs
in Congress. He has served his peo
ple acceptably and well. By his con
genial manners he has bound unto
hlmpelf “for keeps” men from the
ranks of all parties and has In this
manner been able to do more for his
constituents than In any other - way.
In addition to this, Mr. Griggs has
been In Congress long enough now to
become useful to the people, to secure
prestige In the assembly and to be
come more of a national figure.
In days that are past the South has
swapped horses” too often in this re
gard. When Ous Bacon first entered
the Sbnate, he had to overcome this
same condition. We have all seen the
wisdom of keeping this good man In
harness. Today he stands as a bar
rier of prominence against the on
slaughts on the enemies of the South.
So Mr. Griggs has grown, and we
but express the conviction of thou
sands of voters when we say that we
are not anxious to see him “out of
harness.” There are other deserving
and able men in the Second Congres
sional District, men who are well
equipped In every way, but they would
have to begin where Mr. Griggs did,
and the district would have nothing to
gain.
As we see it, we might support an
other, but certainly not from any con
viction that a change would be for the
better. Mr. Griggs has no opposition
at this time, and we hope to see him
lead on In the path he has mapped out,
in so far as it looks to the public good;
remembering, as he doubtless does,
that the people of the Second Con
gressional District are looking for
great things from him throughout his
future tenure of offlee.
A View from Without
From the Moultrie Olsierver.
A few days ago the Observer com
mented upon the comparatively large
number of candidates in this county
and the small number In Dougherty
county. A gentleman, who Is a candi
date, by the way, was discussing the
matter with us yesterday. “A large
number of candidates denotes a whole-
sdme political condition,” said he. The
reason we have bo many candidates in
Colquitt county Is that we have a very
cosmopolitan population and It is pos
sible for any good man to get a nom
ination for-office if he will hustle more
than the other fellow.' We have thir
teen districts and any district may pre
sent its candidate and elect him with
the proper amount Of work. There is
no ring here to choke oft the outs. Iu
Dougherty county there are only two
or three districts and the politics of
the county are controlled In Albany.
The people of that county gave up In
despair and ceased to protest against
the ring, twenty years ago. Therefore,
the lack of candidates, and the con
trast between Colquitt and Dopgherty.
I much prefer the conditions in this
county.”
Our Good Sheriff.
From the Newnan News,
Sheriff F. G. EdwardB, of Dougherty
county, Georgia, is serving his thirty-
second year in that office. In point of
service he Is said to be the oldest
sheriff in Georgia, although he Is only
57 years of age. Sheriff Edwards is so
popular with the voters of his county
that it is said they will probably keep
him in the offlee for many years
longer.
Georgia Is getting along mighty well
for a “ring-ruled” and “ruined” state.
