The first candidate to announce
was Arthur L Dasher, a lawyer, who!
In now serving in council, having
been elected with and as a member i
of the Moore administration. How
ever. Mr Dasher has never b« • n ;
aMgned with the administration, and
early last December he made tie •;
parting of the ways more pronounced
by announcing for mayor. The ad - |
ministration did not line up behind
him. and the anti-administration fac
tion refused to come to his support. |
So Mr. Dasher is in th
lutely as an independent. Recently
he organized what la* calls the "Wage
Earners'' party and selected a ticket
composed mostly of salaried men. This
ticket is being revised and will not be
announced in its complete shape until

About the first of August the an
nouncement was made that Bridges
Smith would run for Mayor as the
administration candidate Mr. Smith
was City Clerk from IHks to l’.aio.
and then he served as Mayor f"i
eight years. Since the first of 1010
he has been City Clerk and the right
hand man of the Moore administra
tion. Daring practically all of the
time he has hern In politics, Mr
Smith has also engaged in newspaper
work as a reporter or special writer
for The Macon Telegraph
For a while it seemed that the con
test would be solely between Smith
and Dasher, but on August 16 Wallace
Miller suddenly entered the fight. A
week before it was suggested to Mr. ■,
Miller that he run for Mayor. He took
the suggestion under consideration,
returning in the meantime to Atlanta

of the Legislature During the week
he w;u* bombarded with letters and
telegrams, and upon his arrival here
on Friday of that week he found him
self besieged by scores of friends The

result tout that afternoon Mr. Miller
made a definite announcement. Three

AUGUSTA. Sf>pt. What will tho
Carolina and Georgia Railway mean
to Augusta and this section of Geor
gia and South Carolina? That is the
question which has been asked many
times since James U. Jackson an
nounced that he had planned to build
an electric railroad from this city to
Columbia.
The road will be started by the 1st
of <)ctober, according to an announce
ment from Mr. Jackson and Michael
P. McGrath, the contractor, who will
build the road. It was stated defi
nitely that the road would go via
Johnston, R. C., instead of Eureka,
thus taking in a very fertile section
of country. It was further announced
that a branch line would be con
structed from Johnston to Green
wood.
An increase in the bonded indebt
edness of the road from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000 was authorized at the
meeting of the directors last week.
The connection, of Johnston and
Greenwood will mean that Augusta
will be in direct touch with the great
interurban system of electric rail
ways built by the Dukes which runs
from Charlotte down through the
Piedmont section of South Carolina,
touching Greenville. Spartanburg,
Anniston and Greenwood. It will then
be possible to go all the way bv elec
tric train from Augusta to Charlotte
and an arrangement may be made
whereby one may take through trains
from Augusta to Charlotte.
It is planned to build the Carolina
and Georgia road from Clearwater
into Augusta along the level of the
Horse Creek Valley as far as possi
ble to prevent the grade both in go
ing up the hill to Belvedere and com
ing down the hill from North Au
gusta. From Graniteville to Clear
water it will use the Augusta-Aiken
track. Both roads will connect again
at the North Augusta bridge and
come over the river and go out Thir
teenth street. The Carolina and Geor
gia may continue out Thirteenth and
connect with the Georgia near the
University Hospital and Medical Col
lege and the cars would then be shift
ed to any part of the city. The pas
sengers trains would, of course, run
Into the Union depot.
Indications Are That Field Will
Be Full of Candidates for

Speakers for Good
Roads Convention
GAINESVILLE, Sept. 6.—There
promises to again he a lively race for
Congress in the Ninth District next
year. It is likely to be a warmer
contest than ever before in this dis
trict, which has witnessed a number
of very heated Congressional con
tests.
It is presumed that Congressman
Bell will again be a candidate to suc
ceed himself. He has seived three
terms.
It is quite nrobable that John N
Holder, of Jefferson, will announce ns
a candidate. He made the race last
year against Congressman Bell and
received a handsome vote throughout
the district.
While he has not publicly expressed
himself in reference to making the
race next time, it is presumed that
VV. A. Charters, of this city, will be
prepared to shy his caster into the
ring at the next go-round for Con
gress. He secured a large and flat
tering vote in the race he made the
last election.
John O. Adams, a member from
Hall County In the General Assembly,
has publicly announced that he Is
willing to become a candidate, and
that in case his friend, Mr. Charters,
does not make the race he will likely
enter it.
Dr. E. W. Watkins, of Ellijay, has
already announced his candidacy. He
made the race four years ago
Colonel H. H. Perry, of this city,
has been spoken of in connection with
Congressional honors. He made the
race for the Senate against Senator
Bacon last election.
There are also others in the distric'
who have the matter of becoming
Congressman from the Ninth on th?.ir

ment as administratrix of the estate
of her brother, Henry Washington.
, who died on June 8 at MilledgeviUe,

last year and made Mrs. Bellamy, his
sister, the executrix of his will. H.
V. Washington left an estate of over

Wholesale Contract Letting Cited as
Evidence of Popularity of

DALTON, Sept. 6. That property
owners are. for the most part, pleas
ed at City Council’s edict t*» have con
structed permanent sidewalks of eith
er tile or concrete, is evidenced by the
wholesale leting of contracts by prop
erty owners. The first work, start
ed on North Hamilton street, em
braces a solid mile of concrete side
walks. and Chairman Hamilton of the
Street Committee has found none
complaining of the order.
At the last meeting of City Coun

ed to the list passed up some time
ago. Depot. Crawford and Waugh
streets being among the number.
The work on North Hamilton is
rapidly progressing, and when all of
thestreets as blocked out by the

between five and ten miles more of
cement sidewalks here.

leaders of the tribe. He was buried
near the northern limits of what is
now’ Dalton, his grave being west of
where the Crown C Mon Mills now
