Tomorrow many of th* Baptists of
Macon will leave for Columbus, where,
on Tuesday night, the first session of
the Georgia Baptiat convention will be
held. The Baptiat pastors of the city
will be In attendance at the convention
during the week. All the churches of
this denomination In Macon made
preparations for attendance at the
meetings of yesterday and It Is an
nounced that many will go from Ma
con.
Dr. B. D. Ragsdale of Mercer Unl^
verslty. who Is secretary of the Oeor
gla Baptist convention, will leave to
Join the officials in Columbus today
and make preparations for the opening
of tho sessions,' The treasurer of the
body 1h K. D. Ifuguenln of this city.
He will also leave early today for Co
lumbus. Vice-President W. H. Kil
patrick of Mercer University will be
In Columbus tomorrow and will be in
attendance upon a meeting of the
board of trusteea of thla Institution
during the nesslona of the convention.
Several of the students of the dif
ferent departments at Mercer will also
leave for the convention this morning
and will he present at the greater
number of the sessions. Besides these,
many of the leading Baptists of the
city will attend. E. V. Mallory and
others of the members of the First
Baptist church will be In attendance.
Business of Convention.
One of the most Important mntteri
of business which will he discussed at
the meetings of the convention will
be the situation at the Baptist Or
phans* Home at Hapevllle, Ga. It is
said that there Is some contention as
to whether a woman's organisation In
Atlanta shall have the controlling
power at tho home Instead of the
Georgia Baptist convention.
During the past year both the or
ganization of women and tho conven
tion have expressed a desire to direct
the principal business of the home,
and during the convention It is said
there will bo some understanding
reached whereby all parties concerned
will know wljere they stand In their
relations to the home.
Committees were sent out some time
ago for the purpose of reaching some
agreement, but their deliberations
failed and the matter has been re
ported.
It Is snld that there Is no bitterness
existing on account of the fact that
agreement has not been reached and
the matter will be determined without
any dissension when the convention la
mad«* aware that the question must
bo settled In Columbus.
Bnptlsts of Macon announce that the
Indications point to one of the most
prosperous sessions In the history of
the convention. The reports which
will be made at Columbus are said to
be flattering for this denomination'
work In the state. The Baptists claim
a membership of over 200,000 In
the state and also claim that Georgia
has led other states by a good margin
In donations to home and foreign mis
stona for the year.
A tennis tournament to he held for
the purpose of bringing to view the
best player in the college will open
this week at Mercer. The rivalry be
tween about forty rlayers Is intense
and the clamor for a tourney was heard
several weeks ago. At a meeting of
all students Interested in the game
and held a few days ago the Mercer
Tennis Association was formed and
officers elected. Ten tennis clubs com
prised the association and from each
club one member was selected to serve
upon an executive board. This board
Is n$>w engaged In framing a constitu
tion.
On and about the Mercer campus
there are at least one uozen first class
courts upon which the tourney will be
held. Several additional courts are In
the course of completion ar.d by the
opening of spring the game will have
a stronger hold than ever before at the
Institution.
It Is expected that challenges will be
Issued to both the University of Geor
gia and Emory College for a triangu
lar meet next spring.

ity Revealed in the Splendid State
ment Mado by Its Officers and Di
rectors to the General Publio.
Heading North to avoid escape the
vigilance of Georgia officers of the law,
R. G. Murphy, s the man who passed a
worthless £heck upon the Flaxa, Hotel
of Macon, has been taken In charge
by New York authorities In Richmond,
Virginia. •
It will be remembered that alpout
two weeks ago a i^an, .claiming to be
representative of a .Eastern liquor
house, was In Macon nnd during his
stay here passed worthless checks and
drafts to amounts of about $300. One
of the drafts was worked off on the
Plaxa Hotel. Other-places In the city
were visited by the man and various
nmounts obtained. While Murphy was
In the city the rightful representative
of the house appeared and made known
the fraud. The case was reported to
the police and descriptions of the man
was sent to police headquarters of va
rious Southern cities. Replies were
received from New Orleans nnd Savan
nah that thd same msh had worked
similar games while on hts way to
Macon.
When Murphy was arrested in Rich
mond a charge of passing bogus
drafts was entered against him.
The Macon merchants who are losers
by th)> game of Murphy Will communl
cate with tho authorities nt Richmond
and try to obtain. If possible, all or a
portion of the lost money.
Elsewhere In this Issue will be found
the statement of the Commercial and
Savings Bank published In accordance
with the law of Georgia requiring all
banks in the state to publish state
ments as called for by the banking de
partment
In addition to this statement which
Is In every respect a most excellent
one, the officers are gratified at the
comparative statement showing the
Increase In the last year.
While one year ago the deposits of
thla bank were $400,120.65, they now
foot up $618,158.20, an Increase of
more than 50 per cent. The gross re
sources show a corresponding In
crease of from $485,095.44 in 1903 to
$598,929.82, and net surplus and profits
of over 20 per cent. The statement
published In January. 1896. showed
deposits of only $42,252.69 and
sources of $103,937.31.
The record of progress made by thla
institution is not only cne that speaks
well for Macon but reflect* credit Upon
the officers and directors who have
so successfully managed the affairs
of the bank and who have the confi
dence of the community as being
among Its most conservative and
safest business men.
From a small beginning they have In
eight years made the Commercial and
Savings Bank one of the strong finan
cial institutions of the state, with its
stock quoted higher than that of any
bank In this section.
The Telegraph takes pleasure In
noting such progress upon the part of
Macon people.
DISCRIMINATING LADIES
Enjoy Using Herpiclde on Account of
Its Distinctiveness.
The ladles who have used Newbro's Her-
piclde speak of it In the highest terms, for
Its quick effect In cleansing the scalp of
dandruff and also for Its excellence as a
general hair-dressing. It makes the scalp
feel fresh and It allays that itching which
dandruff will cause. Newbro's Herpiclde
effectively cures dandruff, as it destroys
the germ that causes it. The same germ
causes hair to fnl lout nnd later bald
ness; In killing It, Herpiclde stops falling
hair and prevents baldness. It la also an
Ideal hair dressing, for It lends an aristo
cratic charm to the hair that Is quite dls-
tinctlvo.
