THE BAPTIST CENTENNIAL.
Rev. A. J. Beck, pastor of the Baptist
church in this city delivered a very inter
esting- sermon on last Sunday irom the
text, ‘‘The Lord hath done great things
for us, whereof we are glad”. The service
xx-as in commemoration of the organiza
tion of the Georgia Baptist Association
one hundred years ago. At that time
there were only 5 churches and 420 mem
bers in the State. The early history of
this church, as related by the eloquent
preacher, was intensely interesting, and
was listened to with marked attention by
a large congregation. This centennial is
made tlie occasion throughout the State,
uf increasing tiie endowment of Mercer
University, and Mr. Beck called particular
attention to the consideration of this im
portant matter, and asked that his con
gregation be prepared to state the amount
of their subscription on next Sabbath.
Deacon PenfielU having marie a bequest
of §2 500 for tho establishment of a Theo
logical School, provided the Baptist Con
vention would raise a like amount, the
subject was brought before the Convention
that assembled in this city in the year
1829. The ehureh in which that Conven
tion wns held, stood on the hill now occu
pied as the residence of Dr. W. H. Hall.
The additional $2,500 was subscribed, and
thus was laid the foundation of Mercer
University.
The sermon of Mr. Beck was in revesting,
able, and eloquent, and a valuable contri
bution to the church literature. We hope
to see it printed, that it may have a wider
circulation.
Carr's Emporium of Fashion.
As wo were taking the rounds last week,
we dropped into the Millinery establish
ment of Mr. W. H. Carr. Mr. Carr very
kindly took us through His beautiful store.
In Ihe Millinery department, we met Miss
Annie Jeffers, the tasty Milliner, who
is at tiie head of this department.- She is
too well known in this community by all
the most fastidious lovers of fashion, tor
us to comment upon. Suffice it to say,
tiiat from the numbers of customers that
she pleases and delights, each successive
season, speaks more than all we could say.
Miss Annie introduced us to her assi-tant,
Miss Stella Haas, xvhotn we all know. She
has spent the last three years in Boston,
and will be pleased to see all her friends
and can cert duly suit them from this
large and varied stock. Last, but not
least, we met Miss Sallio Lee Smith, from
Carr’s Station, who requested us to invite
her friends from Hancock and Baldwin
counties to call and see her. Mr. Carr has
certainly the largest and most beautiful
stock of Millinery goods it lias ever been
our pleasure to see in any one store in this
city. Give him a call and it will pay you
for the trouble. See advertisement in this
paper.
MONEY.
This is the call from all sides. If we
have to light the Devil, we must use fire.
Are we living under a republican govern
ment such as our fathers established? Jay
Gould, Cyrus W. Field, Vanderbilt, Rus
sell Sage and many others are advancing
large sums to secure the election of
Blaine. The republicans have more money
than tiie Democrats and are using it free
ly wherever it is most needed. The Demo
crats appeal to the people. It is of im
mense importance to them for the Demo
crats to succeed. Unfortunately a great
many people are purehaseable. Money,
with some people, answers both for con
science and character. Such people can be
bought; so can others who hax-e no lixed
principles and care but little which party
succeeds. It is not wrong to use money if
it is necessary to maintain good govern
ment and secure the blessings of social or
der. No appropriation is so unobjectiona
ble as that for the people’s campaign
against the efforts of millionaires and mo
nopolists who disregard their rights and
interests. The Republicans are making
desperate efforts in sections where they
can have any reasonable prospect of add
ing to their votes.
STATE FAIR.
The Macon State Fair, is attracting a
great deal of attention in all parts of the
outLur. auu nun vv uai is DctiU» in ^w»n*4 lO
do about it? We have the fame of one of
the first farmers in the South, Farish
Furman, who inaugurated a new system
in cotton planting that has brought hun
dreds to his doors to learn the lesson, and
caused thousands to follow his example.
In Baldwin we have many prosperous far
mers, we need not name them, who are
working on Furman’s formula, and pros
pering, They should illustrate old Bald
win and the memory of Furman by mak
ing a creditable exhibit of their crops at
the State Fair.
Chronicle Trade Issue.
The Sixth Annual Trade Issue of the j

its 46 pages illustrates the business hous- |

which Is 6o rapidly increasing as to give |
it a metropolitan appearance. It's xvide

be added, magnificent residences, and oth- |

ture growth and splendor that will attract j
thousands to lind within its limits the
sweet anticipations of happy and joyous j
homes. One great merit of the Trade is- j

ence it will exert in advancing the trade
and adding to the social structure and ]
pleasures of the beautiful Augusta.

Excess of the protective tariff
Stealing, $19,955,000,000
To arms! to arms! yo brave people of
America, crie9 the protective Democrat,
tear off the masks from these thievish re
publican officials and send to Hades or
some hotter place all who have participa
ted in this stealage of $2,225,000 a year for
the past 20 years. “Is that all they stole
per year, just a little over txvo millions?”
asks a tariff reformer. I thought it was
over one billion a year they stole, and all
of it they stole from the people, except two
millions for the officials to buy their li
quor and Jive high! Great Moses! what
a mistake these low tariff arithmaticians
have made! They have set some of the
peoples hearts on lire, talking about a
theft of billions, and now, my brother pro
tective tariff democrats, you have brought
it down to two millions a year. Ain’t
your brain craked, or your spine broken,
or something else dreadful the matter with
you? Great Caesar! what a fool I’ve been
all tiiis time if vou are right, I was ready
to make toot prints in blood, to put down
the Republican robbers, but if this is all
they have done, I’ll take off my helmet,
throw away gun and bayonet, and not
care a curse who wins.
This is the influence exercised over the
minds of many by the Democratic protec
tionists. Some are actually turning to
Blaine and he is gaining strength under
tho sxveet eulogies of the Protective tariff
by misguided Democrats! Itisto Blaine
tiie star of hope, and was, with him, as all
who read his letter saxv, the blazier light
to draw tiie people to his banner. The on
ly hope for Clex-elaud and Hendricks is
finding democrats enough, outside of the
high tariff circles of the party, to give
them the victory. The teaching of the
protective tariff democrats constitute a
blight and mildew wherever circulated and
x\-e must go outside of tiieni to find the
glowing splendors of Democratic princi
ples, to charm, invigorate and lead to what
the country needs so badly, freedom from
unjust and improverishing taxation.
