The address of welcome by Hon. Geo. A. Mercer, short ns it appear'd, was a masterly effort, delivered in his usual happy vein, with a purity of diction and ease of mauner characteristic oi him as a speaker. President Caldwell made a graceful re sponse in behalf of the association, and then proceeded to deliver bis annual ad dress, having selected lot his subject, “The Schoolmaster in History.” it is to be regretted that space will not permit of giving more than a brief outline of the •choiarly essay which was received de servedly with so much attentiou and de light by tho convention. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The part played by the Schoolmaster In History, be represented *s iudirect and, in a measure, occult and unappre ciated. a powerful agency in moulding character, Instilling principles and creat ing motives, which, manifested In other phases of life, have changed the iortunes af nations. Illustrating, be proceeded to show that Alexander, the great King, was not si directly the real agent by whose influence ibe nations of bis time were built up or torn down, as Aris totle, the schoolmaster, whose intellect ual son Alexander was. lu like mauner, in times not so remote, the English Queen, commonly styled .‘wise and good Elizabeth,” was tis surely tbe child of stood Roger Ascham’s gentle teachings and noble philosophy as Elizabeth, the van and peevish woman, was the daughter of tienry VIII. So likewise did Edward VI owe his gentleness and hu manity us surely to wise and holy teach ing, as did Bloody Mary her cruelty and narrow policy to tbe dark and blind bigot ry of her Komiah preceptors. THE SCHOOLMASTER IN HISTORY. National character owes its type in a ♦ erv great degree to the schoolmaster and this especially holds good of the times wrnen monk and priest held the key of knowledge, and formulated their crude educational systems in the obscurity of tbe cloister. Who shall span the intellectual sphere of Oxford and Cambridge, in the past or the present, or who shall measure the In fluence of tbe clerical schools in Spain, or of that exercised in the minds of Ger many by the misticism of Kant, Fichte, Rexel and Scbelling: or, wno shall trace, along tne course of time, the future re sults of the teachings of to-day of tbe 6,000 teachers, laboring, in modesty and silence, in tbe intellectual fields of Georgia 1 Sufficient is quoted of this able address to give an Idea, limited though It be, of Its scope and purpose. At toe close of tbe address Mr. W. R. Thigpen, Secretary of the convention, made bis report, and the appointment of standing committees, enrollment ot mem bers, and other technical business occu pied tbe time of the convention until the hour rolled round for tho recaption of tbe Governor. THE GOVERNOR’S RECEPTION. Fifteen minute* before noon Gov. Mc- Daniel arrived in a carriage with W. R. Leaken, Eq. A moment later auotber carriage rolled up containing tbe Hon. Jefferson Davis, li.

Tbe members of tne association all arose as the Governor and ex-I’r sident entered. Without any C'-remnniou* de lay Prof. Caldwell introduced lu* Exc"l - Gov. H. D.

He said: THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. “Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate more deeply than 1 can ex press tbe compliment of lielng present with tbe Georva Stale Teachers’ Associ ation.

Referring to the normal schools the venerable speaker commended them and tbe object of their institution, “lu my youth the children were crammed with mental (ood by the instructora.

I am speaking to you upon a subject with the deiails of which 1 am not familiar, but you are. 1 can only thank you, and may God bless you In your jsbors and enable you to rise, as the Italians did, above the barbarians, and show to tbe world that brute force is not superior to mind.” The audience that bad been quietly list"ning, deepiy in terested, greeted tbe conclusion of the ad dress with hearty applause. When it had subsided Prof Caldwell the president of tbe association, expressed to Mr. Da vis the thauks ot the meeting for his pres ence. SHAKING THE HERO’S HAND. “You hare the love of this great and prosperous people,” said Prof. Caldwell, ‘‘and we recoguize in you tbe great, mar tyr of tho lost cause.” Prof. Caldwell’s remarks touched the ex-President deeply, and his hand was raised to his eye io brush away a glistening tear. Tne next moment after Prof. Caldwell sat down the audience arose and pressed up to the platform. The lady teachers were the first to shake the hand of the Confeder acy’s great leader. He greeted every one with some pleasant word, and after a hand-shaking that lasted ten minutes, he was escorted to the door, and entering a carrlageiwith Mr. Comer, was driven to Chatham Aoademy. THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTES. At 4 o’clock, on the reassembling of the convention, it was decided, in view of the small number present, to postpone the reading of the papei to be presented by Dr. Hopkins on “Industrial Education” till Id m. to-day. Dr. Orr, Biate School Commissioner, made a statement about his efforts, in conjunction with the teachers throughout the State general ly to perpetuate the State institute and to establi-h on a permanent basis State and county normal schools. There will be a State institute, he said, held at A lanta this summer, probably In Au gust. Dr. Orr made a powerlul appeal to the teachers to assist in tbe maintenance of these institutes, especially advocating them as a centre from which teachers will return to spread more effectually its intellectual and practical influences through their respective counties. He spoke of bis own personal efforts to in duce tbe Legislature to make an appro, priation for the support of a State nor mal sc iool. and signified bis intention to push the work to a successful issue. ACTION OF THE LEGISLATURE. He was followed by Supt. W. H. Baker, Prof. Zettler, Dr. Hopkins and others in advocacy of tbe same cause, and fi inlly Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, as a Representative in tne present General Assembly, and Cnairman of the House Committee on Education, was called upon relative to the action of the Legislature on the question of a tax in support ot public schools and an appropriation for the conduct of a State teachers’ insti tute. Mr. Calvin responded in an earnest speech, in the course of which be explained wny, in his opinion, the Legislature refused to pass a bill levying a tax of 1-10 of 1 per cent, on the property of the State for the support of public schools. In the matter of the bill which proposed to appropriate SI,OOO per annum for the conduct of a teachers’ institute in the State a lavor able consideration was refuted, because the proposition was obnoxious to the con stitution. OBJECTIONS TO LEGISLATION Objectors to the bill urged that the fund provided by the State was for the educa tion of children, not lor tne instruction of teachers. Mr. Calvin had himsolf intro duced a bill whicn authorized eac h coun ty board, in its discretion, to approuriate annually a sum not exceeding SIOO for a couuty Instititute which would reach the teachers who most need to be Instructed in the best method-. The bill was lavnrablv reported but defeated In the House, Mr. Calvin reiterated the deep interest be bad long felt in tne ques tion of pubiio education. It was one of the great Interests ot the State. Tho true theory att lo public education was not that which relied on taxation by tbe State, but local taxation. Let the people be educated up to the point of supplementing by local taxation, the county's share of the State fuud. Tne question of public education at tbe South is a problem yet to be solved. Mr. Calvin said he has always been and is s ill solicitous to do any and every thing tfiat is practicable and practical in furtherance of public education. At S p. m. tbe convention again assem bled tor the night session, but tbe non-ar rival ol Rev. G. B. Strickler. D.

MANY PIGEONS SHOT. First Day of tlie Inter-State Gun Club Tournament.

Tbo weather was tine, and barring a little too stiff h breeze along towards evening, the day was all that the most ard -nt sportsman could desire. The first day's contest was in all res pects a pleasant and interesting one to the participant*. Nothing was left un done by General Manager W. G. Cooper. President of tbe Chatham Gun Club and Sect, tary w. i;. Oonnerat to make the event a success. The park presented a neat and attractive appearance and all arrangements necessary had been amply made under the supervision of the gentle men named,and the Executive Committee, which consists of Judge >l. R. Kreemsn, of Maoon, Ga.; Judge F. C. Randolph, of Montgomery, Ala.; Messrs. E. A. Crawford, ol Tallahassee, Fiu.; J. H. Von Lengerke, ot New York, and T. T. Had, of Charleston, s. C.

The programme as published was some what changed, both in the order of matches and in the substitution of live pigeons in most of the matches for clay pigeons. This was a change, however, that made the sport decidedly more inter esting and exciting. The result of the first day’s shooting was as follows; FIRST MATCH. Individual sweepstakes—7 single clay pigeons. 18 yards use. 37 entries. First money—Capt. Tbo*. Martin, Har deeville, 8. C. Second money—A. Ayres, Macon, Ga. Third money—H. B. Lemcke, Savannah, Ga.

There will be four matches to-day, the inter-State team match, two Individual sweepstakes and miss and out. SNAP SHOTS. Fun and feathers now hold the boards at the Chatham Gun Club park. Pigeon pie will be tie rigueur during the Chatham Gun Club tournament. It is said that Henry Bergh is not a member ot a gun club. He ought to be, he’d enjoy some fine sport. It is estimated that 500 pigeons were killed at the shoot of the Chatham Gun Cluh’s inter-State contest yesterday. A pigeon stands a very poor chanoe for his life at tbe shooting tournament. It he escaoes the deadly fire of tns contesting sportsmen within the park, he is general ly brought to earth by gunners on the outside. The individual championship sweep stakes match lor the tine gold badge do nated by the National Guu Association, did not take place yesterday as set down in the programme, but will probably bo eliot off to-day. The badge is a very fine diece of workmanship. INVITATION TO VISITOR'! To Soa the Printing Pres* of tho Morn ing News In Operation.

ATLANTA KNOCKED OUT. Savannah Gets a Hatting Streak and Shaffer Terribly Punished. Pitcher Shaffer, of Atlanta, had ft very long face after the first two innings in yesterday’s ball game. Tho home nine had simply knocked him out of the box, and Inevitable defeat stared his club lu the face. l r did not require 10 or 11 Innings to win tbo game. One aloue sufficed. Atlanta looked very detected when the ninth closed, and she left the field de feated by a seoro of 15 to 6. Aside from Shaffer’s terrible punishment and the sharp Melding- long running catch of a Jiigb fly by iloriarity was the feature of tin* game.

Chattanooga failed to hit Chamberlain, getting but six scattering hits. The home team piuyed admirably, making oulv one error during the gams.

Sylvester fumbled a safe hit over second, costing 2 bags for the rapper and another score. The game was won in this inning, four runs being marked up for Memphis. Tbe truth of tbe matter is that Weidell was pounded heavily and but for a mar velous support he' would have been knocked out. The work of the visitors was good all around.

Yesterday’s milirary events were capp ed by a drill at Oglethorpe barracks which, in it* line, was not behind some of more pretentious kind. An odd score of young Jodies costumed as picturesquely as the Zouaves, went through the broom drill manual with eclat. Toe company was uniformed in white dresses and jackets and red cross and waist belts. Tbe cap wn9 a nutty little affair of white with a red band, and stiver Star on each side. Brooms were sulistlluted tor U-e regulation musket, and while they answered pre'ty nearly every requua menu, they wero decidedly less fatiguing to handle. Mr. William F.

Pure Food for the Children Impure food that may not seriously affect the stronger digestive organs of an adult will frequently cause the most serious illness in a child. Too frequently this important fact is overlooked, .and children are made sick from eating articles that have beep taken by adults without apparent injury. A child’s food is largely cakes and bread, and these arti cles when light, sweet, and composed of materials free from deleterious substances are easily digested, nutritious, and wholesome. But there is a danger to our children lurking in their bread and cake apt to be lost sight of. When these articles are made fi-Qm pure and wholesome baking powder, they are much more healthful and nutritious than when pre pared from yeast or other leavening agent. But the danger arises from the fact—as shown by the tests made by tie Government chemists, and by many State and Municipal Boards of Health—that most of these baking powders are so impure as to render the food unwholesome. In fact, chem ical analyses have developed the fact that all the baking powders now upon the market, with the single exception of the Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phos phates, or acids of an injurious character. Therefore, when bread or cake is made with the use of these adulterated baking powders, the ingredients pass into the delicate organs of childhood, and are the source of very much of the disease with which our children are afflicted. Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing girls, young children,-and many ladies, are particularly liable to the evil effects produced by the adulterants found in these cheap baking powders. Heartburn and the prevalent forms of indigestion are often solely traceable to their action on the delicate coats of the stomach. Prof. Willard Parker, U. S. Surgeon-General Hammond, Prof. Alonzo Clark, a;id other eminent physicians all over the country, have spoken most earnestly of the evils arising from such food. The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder are unquestioned. The official reports of the U. S. Government Chemists have put this fact beyond all controversy. Prof. Mott reported that the Royal was un doubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made. Prof. Love's report showed it to be of the highest strength, while Prof. McMurtrie, Chemist-in-Chief of the U. S. Agri cultural Department, at Washington, D. 0., found the Royal the only baiting powder in the country free from both lime and alum, and absolutely pure. There should be as much care in the choice of a baking powder as in obtaining pure milk, or in having a prescription compounded from pure drugs and not from poisons. Pure bread and cake are assured only by the use of the Royal Baking Powder. pri| send ;uth ilotione.
