BALDWIN COUNTY MEETING.
A meeting of the Democrats of
Baldwin county is called at the State
House, at 12 o’clock, c.n Saturday
next, 8th inst. The object of the
meeting is, to select delegates to the
State Democratic Convention which
assembles in Atlanta on the 2d of
August to nominate a candidate for
Governor, The call, by the Execu
tive Committee, has been published
for several weeks and our citizens
have had ample notice of the mooting.
Wo hopo every democrat in the
county will go to the State House
on Saturday and name his choico for
Governor. When the choice of our
people is thus ascertained, let two
delegates be appointed to cast the
vote of Baldwin county for the man
thus indicated by the majority. Let
us remember we are all democrats
honestly trying to advance the best
interests of our beloved State. A
graceful and good-natured submis
sion to the will of the majority, fair- j
ly expressed, in the selection of a j
standard-bearer, is the duty of every
good citizen.
One more effort, fiiends, for the
restoration of plaiu, old-fashioned
economical State government. Hcr-
schol V. Johnson is the man for the
work.
Tiie Coxfekknce.—The religions

ing—Rev. R. W- Bigham, P. E. pre
siding. A synopsis of the proceed
ings will be found elsewhero. Ser>
nions were preached every day at 11
a. m. and 8 p. m. On Sunday the sev
eral pulpits of the city were filled by
preachers of the conference. On
Sabbath afternoon a Sunday School
Mass meeting was held at the Meth
odist Church, which was addressed
by Mr. Wm C. Derry, of Augusta,
and Rev R. W. Bigham. All these
services were largely attended, the
church frequently being uncomfort-
nbly crowded, as it was a season of
very warm weather. Several able
and earnest ministers belong to this
conference and eloquent and impres
sive sermons were delivered. Con
siderable interest was manifested,
and we trust much good has been
done.
Among the delegates to the Con
ference, was Mr. Wm. C. Derry, for-
mcrlv of this city, now of Augusta,
one of the most popular and success
ful Sunday School Superintendents
in the' country.

Milledgeviile Academies Examination
The examination of the pupils of
this excellent school took place at
tho State House on Friday of last
week. In tho thorough training and
rapid advancement of the scholars,
as evinced by an impartial examina
tion, Mr Cone and Miss Herty fully
sustained their reputation as teach
ers of great merit. Somo of the
scholars showed that they possessed
minds of more than ordinary power,
and gave promise of great usefulness
in their day. But for the want of
space we cannot give an extended
notice of tho examination, and will
only say that the patrons and friends
of the school, many of whom were
present, are well pleased with its
management and gratified with the
acquirements of the scholars.
At the close of the exercises the
school and a large audience which had
assembled, were addressed by Gen.
Colquitt Finding himself before a
mixed audience, after giving expres
sion to a few literary thoughts that
he had jotted down, he laid aside
his notes, and proceeded to say
many pleasant and instructive things
to old and young.
The exercises announced for this
(J riday) evening were postponed till
Monday night, so as not to interfere
with the religious services of the
Conference.
*JR. CONE’S SCHOOL!
Tho marked favor that met the
closing exercises, for the Spring
term, of Mr. Cone’s school, shows
that the people of Milledgeviile are
fully alive to the school interest of
tho town, as also the high standing
of this school.
The large and brilliant audience
which were assembled last evening
in tho Senate Chamber to hear the
efforts at declamation, of tho young
orators, and the sweet recitations of
the young ladies, found their inter
est sustained throughout the even u
ing .
Wo hardly appreciate the high
hopes that take root in the hearts of
these little ones, as their efforts are
able to draw forth the plaudits of an
audience. Who doubts, that when
these actors upon tho under stage of
life, called over the names of those
in the past, illustrious for noble
achievements, some of them enter
tained ambition that he might become
a Patrick Henry, Randolph, Webster
or Calhoun; or that the spirit of
| DeStael George Eliot, or Mrs. He
j mans would live again in her.
There is need for all this trouble—
Lord Bacon, speaking of the ingenu
ous sports of children, as exercising
and developing their faculties for the
more serious work of the after life,
says, that “the same strategy which
is early omploy«l in robbing an or
chard is afterward put in practico in
taking a town.” We would like to
call tho roll of the school and men
tion how well each one acquitted him
self, but wo cannot now.
Two names, however, we will men
tion, to encourage others to em
ulate their example—the two
young ladies who read original com
positions, Misses Sophie Richardson
and Annie Ennis. Both of these
compositions wero creditable and
worthy.
It would bo a failure on our part,
to render tho meed of praise where
it is due, should we omit to congrat
ulate, Mr. Cone and Miss Herty on
the proficiency and deportment of
the pupils.
Mr. Cone assisted by his very
efficient and able coadjutor, Miss
Herty, has made his school a success.

Rev Jno W Burke and Rev W C
Smith of Macon were introduced to
department of their work but
would rather earnestly call upon the
laity of the Church, everywhere, to
rally as one man to tbeir support,
both spiritually and temporally.
Your committee profoundly regret
that the financial side of the work
of tho church within the limits of
the Augusta District has not been
what it ought to have been, or what
it might havo been, and yet your
committee can but believe that it
will bo speedily bettered, for God
has so richly poured out of His Spirit
upon the peoplo that they must now
realize that the Gospel claim upon
them takes precedence of all other
claims and that it is a claim that can
not, must not be ignored. Every
ono ought to consider “how much
can I give for the support of the
Church not how little can I palm off
on tho Chnrch as my annual assess
ment for her support.” God loves
a cheerful giver and a cheerful giver
is always a liberal giver. The Bible
says, “the workman is worthy of his
meat;” “the laborer is worthy of his
hire,” and asks, “who goeth a war
fare anytime at his own charges t
Who planteth a vineyard, and eat-
eth not of the fruit thereof ? or who
feedeth a flock, and eateth not
of the milk of the flock ?” It is writ
ten in the law of Moses, “Thou shalt
not mnzzle the month of the ox that
treadeth out the com. Doth God
take care of the oxen ?" Should your
committee attempt to portray the re
sults of a preached Gospel within
the bounds of our own sunny South
alone they would fail in the attempt.
The preaching of the Gospel of God
has made the civilization of the
South the gentlest, sweetest civiliza
tion to be found upon the face of the
earth; through its influence the
millions of the sons and daught
ers of Africa, once our lawful
slaves and still dwelling with us,
have been converted from bar
barism to Christianity so effectually
that even in the midst of a terrific
war, carried on for their enfranchise
ment, when our strong young men
were in the field, our old men and
women, onr lovely maidens and
children were safe in their hands,
while in any other land under like
circumstances history teaches that
the same race would have risen to
pilliage, burn and murder; surely no
other people are under so great an
obligation as are the people of the
South to support cheerfully and lib
erally the Preacher of such a Gospel.
Tho committee would call upon the
O.UILU ux xtiuuuu xixwuuuacu XXX j Church toceasenotto pray aQd la .
the Conference, and invited to seats ; . , na roo i,
Mr. Editor :
The news from Atlanta will, I
suppose, excite but little surprise in
this section of the State. A city
which could receive Kimball with
open arms and wherein Bullock
found a host of friends and willing
sureties, preserves the consistency of
its character, when it chooses as its
candidate for Governor, John H.
James, the skulker and blockade
runner over that Christian gentle
man and patriot soldier, Alfred H.
Colquitt.
The means employed in this elec**
tiou wero as reprehensible and dis
graceful as the result was unfortus
nato. If the press of Atlanta speak
the truth, Mr. James addressed him
self directly to tho taste and touch
of his supporters, who drank his
whiskey and received his dollars
with equal greediness. I do not
know what particular questions en
tered into the canvass in Fulton
county, but it is by no means improb
able that Mr. James’ brick and mor
tar attachments to the city and his
consequent largo interest in the
Capital question recommended him
to the support of his people. But,
for whatever reasons, or by whatever
methods it was brought about, such
a choice between such men, in the
Capital city of the State is a most
humiliating fact, and merits the pub
lic iudignation. For one, sir, I
propose to resent it by placing the
seal of onr approbation upon the
man whom Atlanta has rejected.
You, Mr. Editor, have opposed the
nomination of Gen. Colquitt for his
supposed identification with the peo
ple and interests of that city. You
inferred that a man could not live
long in such associations and retain
his personal and political purity.
The hazard was appalling, I admit;
but, knowing the man, I have never
doubted he would stand the test.
Has not tho event justified my con
fidence ? Gen. Colquitt, though
loved and honored throughout the
State as no other man is loved and
honored, must yield to John H.
James in the esteem and confidence
of tho people of Atlanta! Colquitt,
a man of Spartan courage and Ro
man integrity ; James, save in intel
ligence, a fair representative of the
Atlanta corruptionists, a man of
compliant disposition and of easy
political virtue, distinguished for
nothing but plenitude of money and
lack of sense.
Because Colquitt has been put
aside by Atlanta, I would take him
up. L e does not suit the people
there, bccauso he is not of them, or
in sympathy with their objects.
That, sir, is to my mind the crown
ing reason why ho should be Gov
ernor of Georgia. Let old Baldwin
pronounce for him at once. Let
the people elect him, and then move
him back home. What sav you ?
Baldwin.
Ice,—Messrs. Haygood, Gage &
Co., of Savannah, Ga., wholesale
dealers in Lake Ioe, have a card in
another column of this paper, to
which we invite tho attention of ro-
tail dealers in this city and neighbor
ing towns. The natural ice is far
preferable to that which is monufac
tuied. It is more solid, and conse
quently lasts longer. Dealers say it
is preferable for several reasons.
Those gentlemen are yery extensive

ness lor many years. Thoy aro pre

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Conference opened with praver by
Rev G H Patillo.
Minutes of the morning session
read and confirmed.
Reports from different charges was
then called for. .
Augusta, St. Johns.—Rev C A
Evans, preacher in charge, reports
as follows: 329 members ; in good
spiritual condition and has good
workers among the young men; some
old fathers in Israel who are really
such; Attendance on public worship
good; observance of communion
general. Sixty additions, 40 by pro
fession of faith, thirty of them chil
dren and young men and young la
dies. Sunday school, 250 members,
average attendance over 200. The
school is almost all that could he
desired for it.
Church Property.—A substantial
brick edifice, quite large and con-
fortable brick Parsonage thoroughly
furnished. Good Sunday School
room. Pastor's salary promptly paid.
Rev. G. H. Pattillo then made
some remarks touching the cause
for gratitude, we all had to Gcd for
his signal blessings to St John’s,
and asked the P. E., to offer a
prayer ot thanksgiving which was
done.
St. Luke’s.—Rev. C. W. Key, Mis
sionary, sent a written report of his
mission which was read by Rev. C.
A. Evans. It states that they have
a good house of worship, worth
some twenty-five hundred dollars, a
sufficient present capacity to seat
his congregations. House and lot
all paid for. Sunday School is in
flourishing condition.
Augusta, St. James.—Rev. H. H.
Parks reports as follows: Received
this year on application 40; by certi
ficate 10; dismissed by certificate
20; transfered 80, mostly to Jones
Chapel; deaths 8 ; withdrawn 4;
baptized, adults 13; infants 13. Have
raised for the poor §34 75 ; for mis
sionary §40 00; Orphan’s Home,
§77 05; Bishops §23 00; Pastor
§400 95; P. E. §80 00; incidentals
§180 90. Par. Aid Society §51 95.
Subscriptions to S. C. Advocate 19,
of these 7 are new ones. Class
meeting every Sunday, attended by
from 10 to 15. Preaching every Sun
day morning and night. Prayer
meetings, which are always delight
ful, every Thursday night.
Similar reports from the several
churches in the district were made by
by preachers in charge. The hearing
of these reports occupied a large por
tion of two days sessions. We omit
these reports, believing that the fol
lowing report of the committee on
the state of the church, embraces in
a general view, the most important
facts.
The Committee on the state of the
Church, consisting solely of lay
delegates, beg leave to make the fol
lowing report:
The reports coming up from the
stations, circuits and missions with
in the bounds of the Augusta District
call for thanksgivings to God fer his
abounding mercy in sending forth
men to preach the Gospel to every
creature. The Church has been reviv
ed; her holy ordinances have been sa
credly kept and observed; precious
souls have been converted; the young
in large numbers have been gather
ed into Sabbath Schools to be taught
in the way of life; the poor havo not
been neglected and the dying have
departed leaving behind a bright
testimony that the Gospel of Christ
is the power of God unto salvation
unto all who believe" The faithful
heralds of the Cross, who have minis
tered in holy things unto the peo
plo in tho Augusta District, have
reason to thank God and to take
courage. Yoqr committee would
not presume to suggest to the Oler-
bor for its success financially as well
as spiritually.
The committee would impress tho
laity of the Church with the great
importance of sustaining our own
literature and our own schools and
colleges. Who ever regretted send
ing a daugl ter to the Methodist Fe
male college at Macon, Georgia, who
ever'regretted sending a son to Em
ory college, Oxford, Georgia ? The
Southern Christian Advocate has
no superior as a family paper; and
our Church histories and biographies
of our beloved dead, together with
other works of literature emenating
from tho hearts and hands of our
own people are not Only full of in
struction but are thrillingly interest
ing. If every Methodist family was
supplied with such literature the
generations to come would famish
the Methodist Church with a mem
bership whose fealty could never be
shaken.
The Committee unite with their
brethren in the prayer that the day
may soon come when every charge
within the Augusta District, shall
never fail coming up cheerfully and
fully to the support of the ministry,
to the claims of Foreign and Domes
tic missions and Conference collec
tions, Bishop funds, and to the com
plete performance of their whole
duty to God and man, for then shall
our Church under the guidance of its
great Head “be clear as the sun, fair
as the moon and terriblo as an army
with banners.”
The election for Delegates to tho

selection of the following gentlemen:
Dr. R. T. Hubert, of Warrenton.

IN MEMORIAM.
On Wednesday night last, at the
City Hotel, Mr. Henry W. Barrow,
of Milledgeviile, died of consump
tion.—He was en route fiom some of
the lower islands, to his father’s
home in Oglethorpe County. Mr.
Barrow was a young man of bright,
even brilliant prospects. He had
but a year or two since, graduated
at the State University, with very
high and distinguished honors. Had
prepared himself for the bar, and
was in the practice of his profession
at Milledgeviile. His family is one
of the oldest and most highly re
spectable ones in the State. Hav
ing known Mr. Barrow long and in
timately, I do not hesitate to say,
that in his loss, Georgia is deprived
of one of her brightest minds. His
mind was both versatile and deep,
combining the bright flashy froth
that captivates and holds entranced
the fancy with that concentrative-
ness that holds and sways the rea
son, by its deep, logical, forcible,
power. In the death of our brother;
the bar sees a bright star suddenly
dimmed in the very dawn of its
brightness. As a friend, he was
kind, true and sympathizing. To
know him, was to give birth to a de
sire to claim him as friend and
brother. Tis, therefore, with much
sadness that I chronicle his sad de
mise in the very blush of his man
hood. His untimely end, brings
sad, sad thoughts of the end of man.
Petted and raised in the lap of luxu
ry, endowed by nature, with great
brilliancy, Mr. Barrow passed away
into tho great beyond, in a strange
place, with no hand to do the last
sad offices for him but the hand of a
stranger. As a devoted friend I
mourn his loss and extend to his
bereaved family my sincere sympa
thy. DIZ.

Extract of Letter of Rev. Dr. Loric
Pierce, of Sparta, (a Rev. L. t. Davie*.
Macon, Jon. 1876.
Dear Bro. Davies: Excuse me fur writing
only when I am deeply interested. I have
been speechless about two months Could not
read and pray in a family. Had tried many
things. Got no benefit from any- Since Con
ference some one sent me from Americas a
bottle of Thrash’s Consumptive Cure and Lang
Restorer, which I have been taking now, this
is tbe 9th day, and I can talk now with some
ease. I came here, among other things, to sup
ply myself with this medicine. No druggist
here has it on sale. I must have it. I want
you to go in person to Thrash & Co., rtiow them
this letter and make them send me by express
to Sparta, Ga., two, three or four bottles, with
biii. I am getting on finely.
Signed) L. PIERCE.

Pensions and Bounty Lands*
B EING connected with a reliable Law firm
in Washington City, I take tbe liberty of
tendering my services in the prosecution of any
Pension and Bounty Land claims you may have.
Every Agent must have more or less suspended
or rejected Bounty Land claims, in whicn be is
unable to prove service, owing to the fact that
in the lapse of time, the Soldier forgets, or mis
takes tbe name of bis officer, and unless this is
given correctly his service cannot be found.
Also in case whore tbe Widow or Minor heirs
are nnable to give the officers names.
In all oases where service has been performed,
I hope to be able to find such service, having
had much experience in suspended claims and
being in possession of a large number of Muster
Rolls and other evidence of service in tbe State.
If yon have any claims in this dilemma, please
send me one or more, and allow me to try and
find the service. I shall make no charge unless
I succeed. Please send me the last letter you
have received from tbe Pension Office, relating
to the claim, and indorse on it yonr request
that I be allowed to act as yonr Attorney in the
case. This will give me authority to examine
such papers as you have filed. Abo, please
give me tbe names of all officers the claimant
remembers, and particularly tbe names of all
Lieuteaants, Ensigns, Sergeants and Corporals.
