Thick have of I Southern Alliance, the leaves organ the the Farmers’ Alliance, impression that Mr. Jackson j wanted one policy adopted for ! jjig management ot ine exenange ki-hich the Alliance proposes governing to 'establish, and that the 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 - | peered in the public and it prints have to. jus¬ 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. ® on - L. F.

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 a bottle. 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 the household which cause burns, cuts, sprains and bruises; for use in such cases Dr. J. H. McLean s Volcanic Oil Liniment has for many years been the constant fa¬ vorite family remedy. Senator Quay won $50,000 in bets on the election. Gen. Lawton ha3 determined to resign lus position as minister to Austria on March 5. Atlanta is justly proud of her aew mayor, who seems determined to make a record for himself, by U. city * *»»*« <***> administration. Lauds iu Worth county now soil Boys, Take Courage. 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¬ spect to-day were struggling a 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¬ quence (the cigar makers, except¬ ed) since the presidential election have come to grief. Does this indicate that labor has gained anything by the election of a re¬ publican president and congress? If you spit up phlegm, and are troubled with a hacking cough, Wine use Dr. J. H. McLean’s Tar Lung Balm. Atlanta is agitating the ques¬ tion of holding another big ex¬ position next fall, and wants the citizens and business men of the city to raise ton thousand dollars to give it a start. Gen. Tige Anderson, of Atlan¬ ta's police force, has been elected chief of polico of Anniston, Ala. The man who first cleared a field in Coweta county still lives in that county. His name is George Lynch. Pimples, Sores, Aches and Pains. "When a hundred bottles of sar¬ saparilla or other pretentious specifics fail to eradicate in-born scrofula or contagious blood poison, remember that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has gained many thousand victories, in as many seemingly incuiable in stances. Send to the Blood Balm 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. B. and 8 bottles cured me sound.” Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Moun¬ tain, Texas, writes: “A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck. She tqok Jthroc bottles of B. B.

Hot Springs gave me no benefit, and my life was one of fortune untit 1 I gave B. B.

In Atlanta, last week Judge Harris, of the Coweta circuit, re¬ fused to grant bail iu tho C. H. Echols case. Judge Speer and Captain Pace maintained that if there was even a doubt of tho pris¬ oner’s guilt ho should be granted bail. Judge Edwards and Solici¬ tor General Womack protested against bail being granted. At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Harris said that his sense of Justice would not permit him to allow bail.

KftELBEE’S WINE OF CABOUI for Weak Nerves. There was not a single failure in Dalton during the year 1888, and about $200,000 was invested in new buildings and permanent improvements. Dr. Atticus Haygood says, that Alabama alone expended $3,500, 000 since 1S70 for the education of tho Negro, aud Virginia has ex¬ pended more than $4,000,000 for the same purpose.
