ONE DOi.LA R PER ANNUM. THOSE RESOLUTIONS. The Atlanta Journal is clamoring for resolutions endorsing the admin istration. We know that the Journal is a good democratic paper, hut ive can’t see what it expects to gain by this method at this time. We are sure Mr. Cleveland don't care wlieth er we endorse him or not. What he does want 3 for us to declaie our al legiance to the party and platform. Nobod)' with hiams enough togrease a gimlet doubts the honesty or sincer ity of Mr. Cleveland, and they do not want to pass resolutions condemning him nor endorsing the administra tion. For to endorse his judgment now is to depricate the judgment ot every Southern member of both houses, w hich the people do noi in tend to do. The populists are squalling, “Go it, that’s business,’’ for the reason, the more rigid the i ules in the democratic party the stronger the populist, will he. Eel the resolutions endorse the platform and all men put their own construction on that instrument. It we can see an nch before our eyes this is no time to ce readijgpeo plo out of the democratic party. Ev erything should be worked to concili ato and harmonize the party instead of abruptly demanding the democrats in mass to repudiate their sectional leaders. Th re are thousands of peo pie who will cut loose from the party before they will unequivocally endorse the financial views ot the president, and these may be enough to hold tlie balance of power. Then why urge this matter at this critical period of our existence. 11 is of vast more importance just now that the democrats of the South send a solid delegation to the next national convention than that any body’s peculiar views be endorsed. The Southern people are democrats by inheritance, education and envi ronments, but when they are asked to surrender all of their individual opin ions, or get out of the party, many, very many, of them will choose the latter. For the present, at least, let those resolutions alone. Miss Pollard, ol Breckinridgo noto riety, has written a book which isiiow in thchaxdsofa publishing firm. She has named if, “A Marriage Above Zero.” and it is understood that the naratives deal with her own exper iences, and the marriage that was never married. She has acted wisely from a money making point of view', in rushing into print while her odious notoriety makes saleable anything she may write ; for presently she will sink into the oblivion from which she emerged through the foulest slime. Isn't it a little strange that General John B. Gordon now proposes to gyrate around Georgia making speeches lor General Evans when the tariff bill, now before congress, needs all the attention it can get ? Gordon has a national reputation for neglect ing his missions for the purpos* of making stump speeches, etc., and it seems that the rep is well bestowed upon one who is giving value receiv ed. Better stay at Washington and attend to your duties for which you are being paid by the people. lfou. A. O. Bacon, ot Macon, spent two or three days here last week, re newing acquaintances at his boyhood home. Mr. Bacou is one of t.ie most prominent of the big men in Georgia who are seeking the position of Unit ed States senator, and in this part of the state he has many warm and en thusiastic supporters for the place.— LaG range Graphic. The newspaper is the most potent factor in the upbuilding of any town or city. Without a newspapera town i dead. The business man who does not assist the newspaper in keeping up through the dull season certainly cares little to have a tirstclasa paoer published in his town.—Titton Ga zette A Georgia exchange tells of a man who claimed that he was too poor to take his county paper, hut all the same he read in a down east paper telling how to prevent horses from slohering aud he sent $l5O for the recipe.

Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recommend ing Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results W'ere almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While 1 was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc tion she was brought down with pneumonia mcceeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interrup tion and it seemed as if she couhl not survive them.

There are six counties which have three members of the legislature, con sequently six votes each in the con vention, These are, lihb. Burke, Chatham, Floyd. Fulton, and Rich mond—thirty-six votes.
