In ventioning the race between Griggs and Donghtie, in our last issue, we made the statement that Mr. Doughtie had been *training” et Cumberland, and was “‘sent tor by some Macoa d: ummers.” We have since found out that it was in part a mistake, and desire,in justice to the gentleman, to put the matter as it is. Inusing the word training, we did not mean to infer that he had gone to Cumberland for the express purpose of getting himself in shape torun, or that he had de voted his time to thatend,bu t sim ply that he bad been taking exer cise on the beach by running, but as far as we know with no partie~ ular object in view other than benefiting his health. We simply ‘meant that he was by reason of ‘thisexercise in good trim, whereas Griggs was not. We hav- also learned that he was not sent for; that the race was not mentioned until after his arrival and was purely the result of a casual remark made by him. Some of Mr. Doughtic’s friends have chosen to take offense at what we said, and do not care to have the impression made that he is a professional ronner. The gentle man, we believe, is well known throughout the state, and we are sure no one could so miscoustrue what we said. . We stated what we did in jus tice to Mr. Griggs. We make this correction in justice to Mr. Dough~ tie, but we are still unchanged in the opinion that Griggs is the fastest runner. Advertised Letters. Dawson, Ga.

W. C. Kendrick came down from Atlanta Saturday to see his family, As soon as he was on the streets the popular Representative was surrounded by a large number of people, all anxious to hear about the canvass for the Judgeship of the Pataula circu’t. There were five candidates for the position, viz: Hon. J. H, Guerry, of Dawsen, Hon. W. H. Harrison, of Georgetown, Hon. J D. Rambo, of Ft. Gaines, Hon. Mr. Powell, of Blakely and Hou. W. C. Wonrrill, of Cuthbert. . Messrs. Worrill and Rambo have withdrawn from the race, leavir g the other three gens tlemen to make the contest. The election will be held vext I'riday, avd Dr. Kendrick says Col. Guerry will surely be elected.” Col. Guerry’s most formidable opponent is “'ol. Harrison, who was on the grounds in Atlanta and at work tor the Judgeship Tuesday morning after Judge Clarke's tatal acecident on Mouday afternoon. Mr. Harrison is an uncle of Col. Guerry, and each of these gentles men i making it lively for the other. The daily papers speak in very flattering terms of Col. Guerry,and say he will be elected. His supporters are numbered by the seore, and are not voters alone, but are active workers. He is without doubt a man of fine legal ability, and his election is almost universally desired. ———————— AR B - FIRST STATE BANK. Semi-Annual Stat ement-SplendidShowing We publish this morning the semi-annual statement of the First State Bank, which is required by law. The showing of the bank e icits thewarmestappreciitionof the stock holders, s its operatious for the past six months have been of the most satisfuctory character. The statement shows a surplus,or net earning, of $13,926,29, which strength-ns the security deposis tors and patrons have always felt m keeping their accounts with it. While the prime ohje:t hasbeen to subserve the stockholders, yet one of the chief cousiderations of the officers of the bank has been to =o acminister the affairs of the barck as to build "up Dawson's commercial interests and to foster every enterprise and inter.st of this section Many. who were once compelled to carry their business and cotton to other citica from an inability to sceure accommiodations here are now doing business in Dawson, and hereafter the city’s trade will be greatly increased throught the accommodations which the bank will extend, Teacher's Selecte?. President Leonidas Joves, of the South Georgia M. & F. tollege, is expected in Dawson nest weck, President Jones has about com pleted the work of engaging a corps of teachers, Miss Ahee Lowrey, the accompiished daughter of Mr. L.

For several days last week there was an ice famine in the city. So disagreeable had the famine grown, that to accommodate his customers Mr. W.T. Lewis sent a team to Albany last Sunday for a load ot ice. The wagon returned that night with what had been ten b'ocksofice, and now our people are cool again, et P e Meeting Postponed. Rev. P. H. Crumpler preached at the Methodist chareh on last Sunday. Mr. Crumpler was here to assist Pastor Weston in a pro tracted meeting. The Baptists having a meeting in progress, however, and not wi hing to conflict with them, Mr, Weston has indeflinitely postpoued his meeting. The Protracted Meeting. The protracted meeting is still continuing at the Baptist chureh, with increasing interest. Several bave united themselves with the church. Pastor Davis is being as« sisted by Rev.J. G.

Fla, reached the city last Thursday, completing their work. % . Mr. Daval, the engineer in charge, says the distance. on an air line, i 3 about ninety-nine miles. He has been surveying for a long number of years and says that he has never surveyed a route that could be as easily aud. cheaply graded as this. The line surveyed comes by the Cross Roads, and comes intc Daw sou west of the colored Methodist churel, Mr. Duval says the I. R. & N. Co.,iwho is having the survey made, favors the route from Rich: land to Bainbridge, while the Columbus Southern prefers the route from Dawson to Midway. Mr, Duval seems fully satisfised that a road will be built along one of the other rontes ac once, and is inclined to think that the road to Dawson bhas the best. chanees. Here is what the Leary Courier thinks of the matfer: Oune of the suiveying corps of the Geergia, Alabama & Florida railroad company spread their tents in Leary last Friday evening and remained until Monday, when they pulled stakes and proceeded toward Dawson. The line surveyed com mzncesat Vidway, Fla,, twelve miles from Quiney, and will end at Dawson, where in the event of tho road being built it will connect with the Columbus Southern, thus affording a short'and quick outlet to the West for Florida truits and vegetables. The G. A. &F. Co. are also surveying a route from Quiney, Fla., to Richland, Ga., runuing parallel with the line of the 8. C. &C. company, If the G. A.&F. can put iron on that route in advance of the B, C. & C. company, the line from Midway to Dawson will be abandoned, otherwise it will be built, and the Quiney awnd Richland route be abandoned. The Midway and Dawson route is twenty miles shorter than the other route, and will costless to build, while the other route runs through a more populeus section, which would insure an immediate larger local traffic than the Midway and Daw son route. These are the compare ative advantages of both routes, aud yet we are informed that the G. A. & F. prefers the Q. and R, route, but we do not think they can get ahead of the B, C. & () company, and will thus be forced to adopt the Midwsy and Dawson route. It would be a piece of Jgreat folly to build parallel _roads through & scction of country which could only gustain one. What Comptrslier Wright Says.

A BILL OF IMPORTANCE To THE VETERANS, Senator T. E. Messengale, of the 19th district, has introduced a bill of great imgortance to the state of Georgia and the Confederate vet erans, The bill provides for the lense of the old capital of the state in Atlanta to the Confederate vet erans’ association of Georgia for the term of 20 years. The bill pro vides for a commission of five, con sisting of the governor, the presi dent of the senate, and the speaker of the house of representatilves,and two other citizens of this state,who shall have powerto execute said lease, and who shall afterwards, in connection with a committee from the veterans’ association, constitute a board of management for the building; the amount »of the rental is §0 a year. But all the income derived from the property is to be expepded in improvements, and at the expiratior of the lease the building, with all improvements snd contents, is to revert to the state. As the bill states, the Confeder« ate Veterans’ associatton agree to convert said bui'ding into a cone tederate buildin +, where shall be collected a museum of war rehes, a portrait gallery of co nfederate soldiers, records of tne war ard everything that may tend to preserve the memories of Georgia's service in the war. That said as~ soctation further agree to furnish and fit up the two upper floors ot said building, with apartments suit able for the sick or needly conted erate soldiers and {or soldiers’ home purposes. WILLIT EFFECT RAILROAD WORK.? In to~day’s NEws we publish an account ot the cruel treatment of its conviets by the Chattahoochee Brick company. Itis undefstom}; the governor will be asked to re. quire the company to show cause why their leaseshould not be fors feited on account of alleged abuse and cruelty to conviets at the Chat tahoochee eamp.
