The Georgia Press Association held its annual meeting in Valdosta yesterday. The association has accepted and invita tion from the Brunswick and Western railroad, and the Brunswick and Inland Steamboat company, to visit Brunswick and points of interest between that city and Fcniaudinu, Fla. This will no doubt be one of the most interesting meetings Ihe association has ever held. The Southern Baptist Convention at lyiiiisville, elected the following officers: President, I*. H.

The Savannah Morning News says that when the Birmingham land company ' "ith a capital of SIOO,OOO can declare! an annual dividend of $1,820,000, pc>- j pic will wonder nil the more what use I such a city has for wihl-cut real estate ! schemes. The solid progress indicated ! by t lie business of the Ely ton Land Com- j puny is worth more to Birmingham and fin* South than all the so-called booms 1 that were ever nursed into existence. ’’he English commissioners have sal - nutted their proposition to the Virginia debt commission. It is stated that the bondholder’s representatives demand $9<M 1.000 a year, or about $‘10,000,000 principal, while the Virginia commission ers are willing to allow $750,000, a year, or $22,000,000 principal. The comniis fcionrm of the foreign bondholders having refused to accept any amount less than that mentioned in their proposition, and t lie \ irgiii a commission declining to ac cede to their demands, the effort to com promise thus fails.

Phe following figures are given by the lock Lveniug Post as to tli* com parative percentage of school attendance in m'otiil of tin* Northern and Southern States. It appears that tin* jiercentage ofchildren ili Texan who attend school is 70. against 72 in Vermont, and the aver age daily attendance per cent, is 78 in Florida and OS) in South Carolina, against an average of <SB in all the New England States, 'this is t ruly a startling showing, and should it continue to Is* maintained it will tell powerfully upon tin* South's position in tin* Union in the years to come. Alfred Si:LEV, the President of the Richiiioinl and West Point Terminal Company, who has just returned from a t ip over the roads forming that system, says:—“l went over some of our South ( aroliuu lines, Fast Tennessee roads and lint Georgia I‘aeitic, 1 found them all in very good condition and a great boom down there in real estate and mining in terests. There is a, lull in Birmingham real estate sales, but there is a very large amount of building going on. There seems to be a remarkable amontof enter prise manifested in the south, esjM*eially in Alabama and eastern Tennessee,devel oping the natural resources of the coun try. While real estate sjieculatiou may have t si*n overdone at some points, still many loealities have yet to feel the effect of the enterprise and improvements going on. There is no question but that the newly developed manufacturing interests of the south are upon a permanent basis mid 1 ’oelieve that Georgia, Alabama and Tennt*esee will add 50 per cent to their imperial wealth ju the nejtt live years,’’ A Timely Topic. Fader the caption of this article out esteemed contemporary, the Constitu tion, takes occasion to deliver a warning against the evils whieh ensue from the process of peripatetic evangelization to which so many communities in the land are now subjected. Much that our neighbor says is true. But its error lies in failing to draw and state the true distinction lietween the la bors, and their fruit, of“tho noisy fellows who want loaves and fishes every fifteen minutes, ' and the sincere, conscientious and fearless minister of the doctrine of Christ. Indiscriminate condemnation of the evangelists, as a class will, we fear, tend to deter that wayside spreading of the divine invitation, which it is our ex pressed duty to declare to every living soul. The bravest ehristain heart is tender and sensitive. Evangelists who travel without scrip or purse must be led, clothed and all their temporal wants cared for. Our great neighbor should take beed lest its keen and pnngent crit icism should turn back in its way ! some tender heart aflame with love, and bring the messenger of God into disre pute before the people. The sense of propriety and the discern ment of motive is as quick and sure in the masses who hear the evangelist as it is in the cultured audience who t attend pulpit ministration. No man j can long wear the livery of heaven to ! serve the devil in. Contempt follows ex posure very swiftly, and the imposter is ! relegated to his true position. But the 1 spirit of truth lives. The Lord God om nipotent reigneth. The doctrine of Christ spreads, and the work of evan gelization is fast embracing every land beneath the sun. As we write these lines the songs of the morning meeting at the well fall u|kiii our *nrs. Men in their working clothes 1 gather about the preacher. Business i men pause, for a moment in the daily rush and a sense of the futurity which awaits us all strikes every heart. The bread of life is broken! Happy is the man who will eat; happier the soul which believes. Out of such work good comes to the citizen, to the community, to the state. Let us be careful in forming on r estimate 'of those who come in God’s name. Let us j hold up the hands of that preacher and sincere messenger who, in the street, in the highway, in the market place, cries aloud the tidings of eternal joy. And above all let us not affect a contempt for that striving after perfection w hich is characteristic of those who are for a few days abiding with us. The writer, should lie ever enter the gates of peace, will be well content to lie there on his face Tor a thousand years crying “only a sinner saved by grace!” Yet, if my brother enters as a triumph ant Christ ian soldier who proudly salutes his Great Commander after a battle well fought and won, so be it. As he will have our love there, so lias he our heart and hand here. We are glad that the Ass* eiati m meets in Cartersville. We entreat the Divine blessing upon its members and their work. A Suggestion to Southern Towns. The business men of the South, who are h’H'lLijt, in -flirt p(T*rtnf doi'.dopiurnf of fix industrial interests of that section, have shown remarkable energy and enterprise in making known to the world the advan tages and attractions of the many pro gressive cities that are springing np all over the Southern States. It would be well, hownver, for them to remember that the work has really just commenced, and that if the South is to keep up its present rate of progress there must be steady, persistent efforts to Secure this. It would be a fatal mistake to imagine that this progress hus attained such momen tum that it would continue indefinitely of its own accord. The South’s indus trial interests would, of course, still in crease, but less rapidly than the present condition of affairs justifies. The South is just at that position w here the wide attention which has been attracted can be turned to the beer ad vantage, but to do this a liberal and progressive spirit must be shown. The same generous rivalry to secure the building of railroads and the location of new industries must lie displayed, and the advantages of the South must be constantly placed before the whole coun try. It is not enough that some great effort be made for a week or a month to attract public attention, expecting this to do for all time, but week after week and month after month the work must be vigorously pushed. If there are any sjiecial advantages possessed by a tow n, or if it has any inducements to offer, it must keep these facts constantly before the public. There ought then to be somebody whose duty it is to attend promptly to all inquiries. In many towns there is no organization of any kind to which such letters can be ad dressed, and even in some of those where bureaus of information, whether going under that name or as chambers of com merce or manufacturers' associations, have tieen organized, the fact is not known to the country, and naturally not much good can be accomplished. The above from the Baltimore Manu facturer's Record eonnot apply to any southern town with more force than to Cartersville. No point can present such wonderful and varied resources; and none that would derive more good from a well organized mid a judiciously manag'd bureau of information. We have rejteat edly called the attention of our business men to the importance of establishing a bureau of this kind, and trust the time has arrived when they can see necessity for it. Germany rail behind $1,500,000 last year Austria-Hungary has a standing deficit of $ 1 <>.250,000, Russia is trying t o fiml a balance to the bad of about $50,- 000,000, France fails to make both ends meet by about $20,000,000 each year, and Great Britain manages by stopping payments on its national debt, to keep outgo and income on an even k**el. The l uited States has a surplus of upward of $100,000,000 each year, and lays lighter taxes than any of them. The baptismal register of the Episcopal church at Muthill, in Scotland, has been kept continuously since the year 1(588, and has just been published. One of the records was made in 1745, and the editor says that the baptism was “performed under the cover of trees, as it was impos sible to take tlie child into the neighbor ing houses for the purpose, without in curring the punishment then meted out to Episcopalians who still sought the ad luiuistratiojis oft heir own clergy. 7 Georgia’s Crops. The official crop report for the month of May. 1887, has been issued by the ag- ( rieultural department, and contains j many points of interest. It shows the present condition of the j crop to lie decidedly better than at this j time last year, with the exception of cot- I ton. One of the most encouraging feat ures of the report is the Locre&sed acreage of the provision and supply crops. The acreage in corn is two |*er cent, above the average for the last five years. When Georgia begins to grow* her own supplies, then thpre will be a boom that will not only be felt in every branch of trade, but one that will be permanent. The condition of the stock is reported to Is? lietter, particularly the work stock, than than that of any year since 1883. The condition of corn is reported, in North Georgia, 104; in Middle and Southeast Georgia, 101, and in South west and East Georgia, 102. The prospect of the crop in comparison with the average of five years is, in North Georgia, 101: in Middle Georgia, 91 ; in Southwest and East Georgia, 93 ; in Southeast Georgia, 98,-and in the whole state, 95. The condition of the crop is four points lietter than that of the crop of last year at this date. The acreage of the oat crop, as com pared to an average, is reported 88, and the prospect 85. The proportion of the crop now standing, that was sown in the fall, is, in North Georgia. 11 percent.; in Middle Georgia, 19; in Southwest Geor gia, 22; in East Georgia, 38, and in Southeast Georgia, 71. The condition and prospect of the crop is nine points better than was the report of last year at this time. The wheat acreage, compared to the average acreage of this crop, is reported 78 per cent., and the prospect 92. The acreage agrees with that of last year, and the prospect in North and Middle Georgia, to w hich the crop is mainly con fined, is very much higher than that of lust year at this time. The cotton prospect does not show such a flattering state of affairs. The acreage is, in North Georgia, 101; in Middle and Southwest Georgia, 99; in East Georgia, 98; in Southeast Georgia, 102, iyid iu the whole state, 100. The prospect of the crop is reported in North Georgia, 90; -Middle Georgia, 87; in Southwest Georgia and in East Geor gia, 92, and in Southeast Georgia, 90. In North Georgia 10 per cent of the crop was up on the first of this month, in Middle Georgia, 24; in Southwest Geor gia, 02; in East Georgia, 87, and in Southeast Georgia, 75 per cent., making about 40 per cent of the whole crop of the state. There has been little rain since the I dan ting, and in consequence there is only about four-fifths of a good stand, in the portion of the crop now up. Ihe prospect, notwithstanding, is re ported as high as that of lust year at this date. I here is a decided increase in the acreage of sugar cane, rice, clover and grasses over that of last year. This amounts, with sugar cane, to about 20 per cent., with rice to about G per cent., and with do ver and grasses to 7 jier cent. 1 he peach crop is nearly an entire fail ure in North and Middle Georgia. In Southern and Southwest Georgia there is a prospect of about a half cmj>. >*<i in other southern sections somewhat less than a half crop. Tin* prospect of the apple crop is reported about two-thirds of an average; that of the pear about one-third. The prospect for the grape cro p is reported 95, or nearly a full crop. 1 he IjONu contest over the senatorsliip from West Virginia was ended last week, by the election of Judge Faulkner. The friends and admirers of the new senator predict for him thecertaint.v of a brilliant career in the senate, lie is a young man of a prominent family, is said to be a vigorous talker, and has already estab lished a reputation as an orator of con siderable power. His delivery is rapid but yet precise. Trained in courts, as well as in the debating schools and on the stump, he has acquired a fund of in formation that will make him a promi nent- figure in debate. The new senator is about five feet ten inches high, of slight but graceful build, and clear-cut features, lie wears a dark-brown moustache and goatee. He has keen, dark eyes, and a pleasant expression. He lives at Mar tinsburg. with his wife and two children, ami is the {(residing, judge over the cir euit. running along the Potomac river from Harper’s Ferry to Paupan. In ad dition to all these qualities he has u clean and honorable record, never hav ing lw*en, his friends allege, the attorney for any corporation whatever, or in any way connected with the interests which rightfully or wrongfully brought defeat upon Senator Camden. West Virginia can now boast of having the two young est members of the senate. Senator Ken nu was born in 1848 and is consequently less than forty years of age, and Senator cli*et Faulkner first saw light about the \ ear 184 b. The only other senator who might be classed with these two in youth is Spooner, of Wisconsin, who was born in Lawrenceburg, Ind., in 1848. And singularly enough this trio is, in point of legal and oratorical ability, ns strong as any that could beseleeted from that body. Mu. Randall talks in his broad style: "Referring to the attempt to gerrymand er his district out of the Congressional list, he said that it was frustrated by Senator Cameron and his friends without any action on his part. Therefore he regarded it as a manly advocacy of a piece of political justice to a large Dem ocratic vote in the metropolitan city of the common wealth by Senator Cameron upon his own sence of right.” He said: “Senator Cameron and myself differ very widely in politics, but if men in politics were always governed by the same liberal and broad views of the amenities of polities it would be much more satisfactory.. The majority ia the Legislature had tie* power to exclude tie* Democrats of Philadelphia 'from any representation whatever by one of their own faith ia Congress.” A \ ery Li'cky California Merchant.
