The election is over and democ- racy is again in the saddle, both state and county, with only one feature to mar our victory, and that is the defeat of Hon. A.G. AlcCur- ry tor the state senate. No one doubts the ability of McCurry, and it was iioped to send him to the senate would confer additional honors on our district as he would undoubtedly have been elected president ot that body, an honor next to being governor of our great commonwealth. He was beaten by 50 votes. Habersham ga\ e him 406 major- ity McCurry liaving received 882 votes in this county, more than double the number received by his populist opponent, Air. Carter, but nai t and brunklin county went against him. McGurry was sacrificed on the altar ot democracy, but democracy wili not forget Tie sacrifice. Mr. Carter, our new senator, has a wide held for the display of his taiem anii patriotic impulses if he will but rise to the occasion and watch and guard the people’* in- lerests, which are threatened by trusts,monopolies and corporations. We give him fair warning that his every act, as our »enator, will be watched and if he is found dere- iici to his duty he will be reported to his constituents, who know how' to ha.uile those prove recreant to tfieir trust, out on the other hand he Wlli Recommended and his hands u P lleJ NV hen he does his duty, no * naUer tbe oc ^ s are a o ain>L ban. 1 he people of this NNld P ra * s ‘ e duty well per- orme . elected 7 “maoriUef Tnd cv ; r >' will make good “ e * c,ent office ; 5 .’ tor - " lost of em . tr ed . and found ,“ d wantin V g- ' neVer the vote of the county was small —°nly about half those registered vot :ng.

The m constitutional ^ • amendment, provld,ng f ? r the election of su- preme court judges by popular vote, with an increase of the bench from three to six justices, carried over¬ whelmingly. This releases the candidates, who have been remaining in a state innocuous desuetude, in order that the interest of the constitutional amendment might not be prejudic- by opposition to individuals. Now, that the vote lias been cast and the result si favora- ble to the amendment, the candi- dates are coming out of the woods and the indications are that the woods are full of them, It has been urged that an election of judges bv the people of the whole state would result in plac- ing strong men on the supreme bench. This seems to be indicated by the character of the gentlemen who are understood to be candi- dates. The following are so far an- nounced : Captain W. A. Little, of Co¬ lumbus. fudge George F. Gober. of Ma¬ rietta. ** Hon. Pope Barrow, of Savan- na h. Judge Joel L. Branham, of Rome. j udge j L K iddo, of Cuthbert. Judge B Samuel Lumpkin, of At- , anta . Lex Dockins Fined. Monday Dockins Mayor Matheson fined Lex $50 and costs or thir¬ ty days at work on the streets retailing liquor. Dockins paid h,s fine to the mayor, but was ingin Judge Cook’s court for negro, who was up for selling quor, when he (Dockins) admitted it was his whiskey and not the ne- gro s that the negro was selling, J. ud g e C° ok dismissed the case against the negro, but held Dock- * ns $100 hoods to appear at su- perior court. TIMES ESTABLISHED 1890. NO. SURVEYGRSOUT. The United States Construction Company has been organized with a capital stock of $250,000, 10 per cent of which was paid in. The general purpose of the company is the building and equipping of rail- roa< ^ s ’ bu ^ * be specific object is to cons ^ ruc t the lennessee, Georgia ? nd Atlantic railroad, the long pro¬ hne between Augusta and Ghattanooga. To-morrow a meeting of the di¬ sectors of that embryo railroad will he’d in Chattanooga, at which . the Construction time company will secure the contract from them for the building of the line. Such men as ex-Governor Cor¬ nell of New York, Francis M. Fer¬ guson, IT. A. Blake, of the bank¬ ing firm of Blake Bros, of New' York, Judge Henry E. Knox, E. C. Machen, W. S. Witham, of At¬ lanta and D. H. Livermore, W. C. Hade and E. A. Richards are in¬ terested and behind the construc¬ tion company. The organization of this compa¬ ny seems to mean that the road will be built now without delay. A surveying corps will start out from Chattanooga Tuesday to lo¬ cate between that city and Lula, and a choice will be made of the two lines already surveyed between Athens and Augusta. The construction company, besides taking the contract for the building of the road, guar¬ antees to float all the bonds not sold.—Atlanta Journal. Is the B.
