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 next week Smith and Miller Enter. 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 foi attendance upon the last week 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 next dtfv a meeting was held, with the result tout that afternoon Mr. Miller made a definite announcement.

Increase in Bonded Indebt edness $3,000,000. 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 Bell's Seat. 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 College Students Flock to Athens to Enter University More Than 1,500, Representing Every State in Union, Expected.

Lucy Cobb Institute opens the same day and the principals. Misses (lerdine and Brumby, have had th* 1 buildings and grounds improved dur ing the sumemr and are also antici pating an increase in attendance. The city schools will begin their I fall session next week. ALL CHOIRS JOIN CHORUS FOR REVIVAL IN DALTON DALTON, Sept. 6.—Prominent singers from the choirs of the va rious churches here have volunteered their services to the First Baptist Church for the big revival to be con ducted there by Rev.

Macon, Ga. minds, and there still may be other candidates whose names have never yet been published in connection with Congress. It is a foregone conclusion that the race will be well filled with en tries. and that the next election for Congress in the Ninth District will bo a very lively one.
