ki-hich the Alliance proposes governing to

committee favored another. It i
indirectly asserted that Mr. Jack
son wanted to be the manager of
I the exchange.
Another story is that Mr. Jack
son has an ambition to be gover¬
nor of the state, and was endeav¬
oring to use the Alliance as a po¬
litical machine. Nothing has ap -

tify this story, may no
foundation. The Alliance has
authorized no statement to be
made of the cause of Mr. Jaclcson’s
resignation, and Mr. Jackson
does not appear to have given any
explanation of his action.
Mr. Jackson, as president of the
Alliance, was very active in its
behalf, and did a great deal toward
building it up. If he intended to
make it a stepping stone to the
governorship he was not indis¬
creet enough to make his inten¬
tion known. The governorship is
worhy the ambition of any man,
but it is questionable whether it
would be to the advantage of the
Alliance, for its president to seek
it. The members of the Alliance,
while they may agree upon the
q lestions which immediately con¬
cern their organization, may dif¬
fer widely upon political questions.
If, therefore, the president of the
Alliance should -seek the gover¬
norship, and should use his posi¬
tion to get the Alliance’s sup¬
port, thefy-liances are that dama¬
ging dissensions would appear in
that organization. If Mr. Jack-
8°n sought to drag the Alliance
into politics for his own selfish
purposes, his resignation will not
be generally regretted by its mem¬
bers.

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, February. IS, 1886 .
Mothers’ Influence.
Tlie great men of the world
nave generally owed much to the
character and training of their
mothers. If we go back to their
childhood, we see there the ma¬
ternal influences which form the
aims and habits of their future
life.
Bayard, the flower of the French
knighthood, the soldier without
fear or reproach, never forgot the
parting words of his mother when
he left home to become the page
of a nobleman. She said to him
with all the tenderness of a loving
heart:
“My boy, serve God first. Pray
to him night and morning. Be
kind and charitable to all. Be¬
ware of flatterers, and never be
one yourself. Avoid envy, hatred
and lying, as vices unworthy of
a Christian; and never neglect to
comfort the widows and orphans.”
When Bayard was foremost in
battle, confessedly the bravest
warrior in the field, or when, in
his own great thirst, he was giv¬
ing water to a dying enemy, he
was only carring out his mother’s
counsel, and striving to be worthy
of her name. The memory of a
mother’s love is a talisman against
temptation, and a stimulus to c
good life.—Selected.
Mr. Richard Peters, one of tin
oldest and most prominent citizens
of Atlanta, who has been very il
for several days, died at 4 o'clocl
Wednesday morning. He was
79 years of ag’e, and leaves a wife
and seven children. He was a
native of Philadelphia, and came
South to Augusta in 1842. lit
1848 he came to Atlanta, and has
since been identified with many
of the leading enterprises of that
city. It is estimated he leaves an
estate valued at a quarter of a
million dollars.
The Atlanta Journal is uneasy
for fear the railroad syndicates
will scoop tlie Alliance. It claims
to be in possession of faets un¬
known to the common herd.
It is estimated that t 1 e citizens
of Perry carry fully $300,000 cf
life insurance.
In cases of Fever and Ague, the
blood is as effectually, though by not the
so dangerously atmosphere poisoned it
effluvium of the as
could be by the deadliest Chills poison. and
Dr. J. H. McLean’s
Fever Cure will eradicate this
poison from the system. 50 cents

Last season a committee from
the Charleston exchange investi¬
gated this matter and, in a formal
report to tho exchange, stated
that bagging from pine straw
could be manufactured at almost
any weight pier yard; that the bag¬
ging Would not rot or stain cot¬
ton; that it could be manufactured
and sold at a les3 price than jute
bagging, even if jute should be
placed on the free list. Tho com¬
mittee subjected the pine straw
bagging to all the necessary tests
and its report was made after
careful ana thorough investiga¬
tion.
Frequently accidents occur in

Do not be discouraged, boys, if
you are poor and have to work
hard to earn your living. The men
whom you must admire and re¬

few years ago just as you are now.
John Wannamaker, the merchant
prince of Philadelphia, started in
life by turning bricks for his
father before school hours, and
thus earning two cents a day.
Afterwards he entered a bookstore
where he was paid one dollar and
twenty-five cent9 per week, and
walked eight miles each day be¬
tween his home and his place of
business. Now, he has an enor¬
mous dry-goods establishment,
and employs more than three
thousand persons. One secret of
his success is thoroughness.
Once he heard a sermon full of
hard words, and every one he did
not understand he looked up in
the dictionary afterwards.
All the strikers of any conse¬

"When a hundred bottles of sar¬

many thousand victories, in as
many seemingly incuiable in

Co., Atlanta, Ga., for “Book of
Wonders,” and be convinced. It
is the only true blood purifier.
G. W. Messer, Howell’s X
Roads, Ga., writes: “I was
afflicted nine years with sores.
All the medicine I could take did
me no good. I then tried B. B.

Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Moun¬

of mine was troubled with bumps
and pimples on her face and neck.
She tqok Jthroc bottles of B. B. B.
and her skin got soft and smooth,
pimples disappeared, and hex
health improved greatly.”
Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “Some years ago I con¬
tracted blood poison. I had no
appetite, my digestion was ruined,
rheumatism drew up my limbs BO
I could hardly walk, my throat
was cauterized fivo times. Hot
Springs gave me no benefit, and
my life was one of fortune untit 1

In Atlanta, last week Judge
Harris, of the Coweta circuit, re¬

there was even a doubt of tho pris¬

bail. Judge Edwards and Solici¬

against bail being granted. At
the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Harris said that his sense

to allow bail.

General Harrison can scarcely
be said to have been elocted pres¬
ident of the United States. Tin
position was bought for him with
money judiciously expended ir.
New York and Indiana. It is
oponly said that the ownership
of millions gives one a fair pros¬
pect of a place in the cabinet if he
wants it. The United States Sen¬
ate is largely composed of mil¬
lionaires, aud is fast becoming a
plutocracy. We fear the worst
for the future, the very worst.
