EDITORIAL NOTES.
Don’t foster a fool notion,
Saying one thing, and making
promises to the contrary, make
the offspring of a corrupt parent.
We stand dreadfully in need of
a different regime in national
governmental affairs.
The governmental corks ought
to dance to th* dictates and pulls
on a line foreign to that now en¬
gaged in dictating.
Look strictly after your own in¬
terests. Other people do not
consider fully, any whatever, ex
cep c their own.
Why can’t our legislators, state
and national, show up on the
right side?
Keep your own skirts clear.
Such keeping retains a clean re¬
cord.
Tom Watson is looking for a
hole in which to sink hi% surplus
money, and he naturally con¬
cludes that a daily newspaper
shaft will fill the bill. There is,
room enough for the bantling in
the Atlanta journalistic grave¬
yard.—Ishmaelite.
Even if Atkinson should be de¬
feated for the nomination, he will
have the consolation of knowing
that he gave a strictly democratic
Golor to the complexion of the
campaign. That is the only color
that can win.—Ishmaelite.
The Forsyth Journal comes to
us this week full of news and of
fine mechanical makeup and ap¬
pearance.
The man who is constantly tak¬
ing exceptions is by no means an
exceptional man - Augusta Ch^on
icle.
Seventeen million dollars of
pension robbery go into the single
State of Ohio, every year 1 That
is more than the entire per capita
circulation of Georgia, Florida
and Alabama. No wonder the
Ohio bummers are patriotic.—Ish
maelite.
Tin's clipping frtim the Sparta
Is! aelite is branched out on the
proper line.
“The people of the south ought
to f rm a solid political party
with no Northern, Eastern or
We-Jem alignments. As a bal¬
ance o'-power political organiza¬
tions t hey could demand recogni¬
tion of their rights at the hands
of the contending factions of oth¬
er motions.”
H ;u, W. Y. Atkinson an noun
ces himself as a candidate for
Governor of Georgia, and also
that v* Hands squarely on the
democratic platform. Some oth¬
ers should act^after the same sort
Voters are unquestionably entit¬
led to clear and full declarations
from candidates for office on all
measures and principles that di
rectly interest them.
Uie following clipping from the
Fayetteville News will interest
many of our readers who are per¬
sonally acquainted with Mr. Hew
ell and join that paper Ill COU
Emulations:
‘‘Sheriff J. B. Hewell received
notice a few days since of his ap¬
pointment as Townsite Trustee of
Norman Oklahoma Territory.
The position was presented over
the Replications of a number of
strong competitors. This is an
hpnor that old Fayette feels was
most worthy bestowed. The sal¬
ary is splendid and we are es¬
pecially glad the appointment
was made, yet we are loath to
lose him. We venture the asser
tion that no man ever held the
hearts of the people of Fayette
county in stronger love than Slier
iff Hewell.”
Our Great Offer.
In another column we announce
the particulars of our special club
bing arrangement with the
Weekly Detroit free Press, a pa
per so well known, by reputation
at least, that any special mention
ot its great merit seems scarcely
necessary. While one of the lun
niest of papers, it does not de¬
pend alone on its humorous ieut
ures for its popularity ; it is equal
Jy uoG’d ior its literary excellence
the oust writers of America and
Europe contribute to its columns,
indeed, our readers will tind The
Tree Press a perfect cyclopaedia
ot the best current literature.
Wh en the great cost of production
is considered, it is a matter of
wonder how so interesting and in¬
structive ished a journal can be furn¬
tor so low a price as one
dollar a year—a handsome pre
irnum included.
We know that every one of our
friends will be benefited bv read¬
ing liie Tree Press, and we con¬
gratulate ourselves and them on
our ability to turnish it with The
Correspondent ior so low a price
as $1.50. it is certainly an op
tumty of which all should take
immediate advantage.
A Remarkable School.
One of the most noted schools
in the State is Gordon Institute
•at Barnesviile, Ga, The histoiy
of the school is remarkable.
Twenty-five years ago, it began
its career as an ordinary academy,
but it has reached out from time
to time and added new and at
tractive features, so that now it is
almost a miniature university in
the number and perfection of its
departments. Besides the ordi¬
nary literary features, it has de¬
partments of Military Science,
physical Culture, Vocal and In¬
strumental Music, Art, Mechani¬
cal Drawing, Book-keeping and
The ambition of the authori¬
ties of this institution has always
been to make their work thor¬
ough ; and that they have meas
urably succeeded is evidenced by
the quality of men aud women
they have sent out into the
world. It is believed that no
graduate of Gordon Institute has
failed to sustain himself where
intellect and moral courage were
the qualities requisite for sue
The most peculiar feature about
the school is that, without any
aid from the state, the school is
practically free to all the chil¬
dren of the state. Any
can.get a thorough education in
English, in Military Science or
Physical Culture, and in Mechan¬
ical Drawing for the mere pit¬
tance'of $12 per annum while
board can be had at from ten to
twelve dollars per month.
The teachers of the
are all graduates, holding diplo
mas from the very be st of
higher colleges in the
and the popularity of the
school is attested by its enroll¬
ment of near four hundred pupils
during.the current session, mak¬
ing it the largest school of its
grade in the state.lt has students
from one fifth of the counties of
the state and from several adja
