A Gentle Hint.—In our style oi

is no wonder that our children, friend*

from us by neglected colds half the

The Mississippi plan of collecting
taxes on drinks differs from the j
Moffett system. Books of coupons ;
arc sold by the Stale Auditor to alt
liquor dealers. When a drink is
a dd, the consumer receives a coupon,
which entitles him to receive from!
the State, iu payment of his taxes,
one cent. If two drinks are to be
paid for, he receives an orange-color-
eeed to select by ballot six delegates
and six alternates to represent Gwin
nett county in the approaching Con
gressional Convention, and tnat said
delegates go unpledged to any as
pirant and without instruction.
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Gwinnett will stand by the organiza-
i lion of the party, and we hereby
! pledge ourselves to give to the nomi
nee a hearty support.
Mr. Peeples, in support of his
substitute, stated that it was not
offered in the interest of Bell or
Carlton, but of harmony in the party.
He regarded the success of the party
in this campaign n9 of more impor
tance than the success of any indi
vidual. He held that no man in the
district had any claim on the party,
but that the Convention should bo
free to select the most available man,
od coupon good fir t wo cent-. If
five drinks, a blue paper good lor j w jihout bring hampered by instruc-
five cents. Not only does the State j tu. „;.i,
enjoy an income from the tax
on
drinks, but the consumer has n rea
sonable chance of paying off taxes
with coupons.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
In pursuance of a call from the
Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, a meeting was this doy held at
the Court-house in Lnwrenceville.
The meeting was called to order
by Col. Hutchins, who explained that j tion upon the ground that a commit
the object was to send delegate s to ; tee of one man from each district
tions. That with harmonious action
at Gainesville, success was assured
but if the Convention engaged in
wrangle, each delegation refusing to
yield its favorite, the result would be
bad blood that would drive many to
• lie support of the independent ticket.
That he thought this meeting could
select, six good men who eould be
trusted to act for the best interest of
the party without being pledged to
any particular candidate.
He opposed Maj. Simmon’s resolu-
and pledge our.earnest support to the
nominee of the forthcoming Gaines
ville Convention.
Resolved, That we do new take
the senso of this meeting by a rising
vote, expressive of our preference as
between the aspirants for the nomi
nation ; and thereupon a delegation
shall be appointed with correspond
ing views.
Col. Winn, in support of his sub
stitute, deprecated the division which
had been manifested in the meeting.
He insisted that those who did not
intend to support the nominee should
not participate. That a resolution
should be adopted, binding} all who
voted to abidtr the action of tliq con
vention. He thought that this sub
stitute could be supported by every
man in the house who intended to act
with the party.
Mr. Peeples accepted Mr. Winn’s
substitute in lieu of his. R. D. Winn
then withdrew his resolution. Col.
Hutchins culled the previous ques
tion, and insisted on the adoption of
the Simmon’s resolutions. . Maj.
Wian made the point that, ;is the
original resolutions bad hcen with
drawn, that carried with it all the
amendments aud substitutes. Alter
considerable wrangle and confusion,
the point was sustained. Maj. Sim
mons then offered the resolutions ns
an original proposition, aitd Col.
Winn proposed his as a substitute.
The vote being taken on the substi
tute, stood, yeas 24, nays 28.
The substitute being defeated, the
resolutions were adopte d. And the
meeting proceeded to ballot with the
following result: Bel! 25, Carlton

ing that hydra-headed monster which j from the members ot the Board. Wc
has for so long been preying upon
the vitals, and gradually and secretly,
yet surely and effectually working
ravage and destruction upon the
interests of the University.
For tho past few years there has
been a rapid define in the number of
students, and the department at
Athens numbers only 116 The fa
cilities here afforded arc perhaps
equaled by few, and excelled by no
other University or college South of
Virginia* The efficiency of the pro
fessors, the completeness ol the ap
paratus are acknowledged by all.
And yet the roll of either Emory or
Mercer, inferior institutions though
they are, number more students than
that of our own State Univcr ity.
Why is this? What is tlitj cause of
gradual decline ? Many, many times
have these aud similar question)), been
propounded, and in quite as many
various ways have they been answer
ed. Some have attributed it to.the
removal of certain professors; (sonic

of Judge Harden, ol Savannah, and
