A much better THE OEORGIA ASSOCIATION is, in a senae, the most honorable and distinguished of all our associations. A history of it would almost be a history of the denomination in the State. Its actual in fluence for good in moulding the destinies, enhancing the usefulness, directing the energies anti uniting the strength and potency of the denomination far transcends that of any other association in the State. For years it was virtually the denomination: and, through the sanctified moral nnd intel- lectiit fiowers of a succession of grand leaders, and through the sound piety, staunch conservatism and generous libe rality of its ever-abiding host of devout, earnest-minded and laborious church- members, it has, from its origin to the present time, maintained its lofty potential position among the Baptists of Georgia. To day it stands the model association position To day ... of the Georgia Baptists. Closely linked with all the great enterprises of our de nomination. it commands respect on no- count of the hallowed memories connected with it; and it is in respect to this associa tion that the Baptists of Georgia call thi« a “memorial year.” and will, next October, unite in celebrating its hundredth birth fcokeo church, where it was formed, was constituted in the spring of 1772, and was the first Baptist church organized in Georgia. The next year there were two churches; In 1774, three; in 1777. four; in 1780. seven; in 1782. eight; in 1734, nine. In 1788 there were tbirty-ihree churches and 2.250 members, and in 17JM there were fifty-three churches, with about 3.650 mem bers. In that year, churches were dis missed which formed the Heplizibah As sociation In 1705; and in 1708 other churches were dismissed which formed the Sarepta Association, so that in 1800 there were three Baptist associations in the State, with a membership of about 3,000; the en tire population of the State being 102,000. It was in that year a resolution was adopt ed by the Georgia Assccinticn, which led to TIIE FIRST OEXEUAL CONFERENCE of the Georgia Baptists, in May, 1801. to •ecure unity of action in evangelical en tarprises. This conference was followed by others in 1808 and 1803, all of which are designat ed “the Powelton Conferences.*' At the meeting of 1803 a GENERAL COMMITTEE is appoi . nomination, ami to constitute “a hi nd of union, center of intelligence and advisory council to the Baptists ol the State.” Its continuance was to he preserved by an an nual meeting of delegates, three from each association In the State. The objects to be accomplished by this general committee were: First, the encouragement of itiner ant preaching: second, a mission among the Indians In the western part of the State, and third, the increase ol anion among all real Christians. But this com mittee rect ired but acant support from the denomination, and died a. natural death, or rather expired from neglect and indif ference about fSJl or 1812. Its only ■achievement was ti e establishment of a & r feouiiiWe** w *»ugUftUk, state of affairs began to exist among the churches, for the denomination now had three bonds of union—first, *i State con vention; second, a nourishing college, and fourth, u useful religious paper. In con- scoucncc, it increased in numbers, in in telligence. in efficiency and in pious co-oj ...lion in «l.n I'tnln f.-.fl, eration. There were in the fetate 55.1 Baptists in 1312; 58.368 in 1845; 71,879 in 1*50; 80,700 in 1855, and -99,149 in 1890. With the convention, its university and the Index as bonds of union, the Baptists of Georgia hnv grown up into one vast brotherhood, mighty in numbers and in the main har monious. Its total number in the State now, including both whites and blacks, is 250.000 in round numbers, but about 85,000 only, in thirty nine associations, are con stituents of the convention, of the 122,000 white Baptists in the Ktate. From first to last that grand old Georgia Association has been thoroughly identified with all the movements of the Georgia virtually their standard r in every good word and work, and now, at its approaching annual meeting at Washington, Ga„ in October 183|, one hundred years from the date of its formation, it has concluded to hold SPECIAL MEMORIALFERVICEF, in honor of that occasion, and has invited other Baptist associations of to participate *■“ ut'Cii uioruuKiiiy iut progressive moveiw Baptists, being vir hearer and leader in A CREAT SYNDICATE.

B. Wharton, 1). 1)., in the Christian Index, of Atlanta, on the 31st of May lust, suggested that “we make 1884 a memorial year for Mercer University, and raise one hundred thousand dollars for the further endowment and equipment of that institution, which originated with the spirits that formed and fostered the Georgia Association.”- For iifty years this institution of learn ing-six years Mercer Institute and forty- four years Mercer University—has been educating nnd sending forth men who have adorned the pulpit, the bench, the bar, the halls of Congress and the guber natorial chair of our State. The present occupant of our Executive Mansion is a graduate of Mercer, and bis aged father was, for half a dozen years, a faithful and laborious teacher in the institute, half a century ago. This endowment of Mercer University was, by the exigencies of our late calam itous war, considerably diminished, and it was thought a removal from Penfield would prove beneficial: and when the gen erosity and public spirit of Macon invited the institution to a home within her city limits, the invitation was accepted, and Mercer University stands among us to-day, the pride of Georgia Baptists. And when the proposition was made to avail our selves of this memorial year and, by a combined general movement, increase the endowment of the university, by a grand centennial gift of $100,000, the great Baptist heart of Georgia was thrilled with a most enthusiastic acquiescence. The ition was most cordially adopted. British Capital to Pound Industries In the West. Philadelphia Press. Birmingham, Eng., February 9.—The wealthiest and most influential syndicate the world has ever seen Is now in course of formation here for operations in the West ern States. Concisely stated, the object which the financiers, who are acting in concert, have in view is to transplant into the United States of America the leading industries of this country. The causes which led to this important action—momentous In its ultimate issue- may be found without protracted or pro found research. They lie in the :*otori- ously unprofitable or inadequately profita ble state of staple trades of this country. Short time, slow returns, and above all, low prices, arc disas trously prevalent. Everywhere is the same complaint; but it brings insufficient profit to the capitalist and unsatisfactory wages to the toiler. All classes of Ameri can readers, whether enguged in mercan tile pursuits or not, will remember the panic of 1873, when the prices of all manu factured goods in the States fell on an av erage upwards of 40 per bent, when manu factured products of all kinds were an ab solute drug in the market and unsalable even at prices that did no*, recoup the cost ot labor. The recollection of the slate of trade at that time will doubtless be suf ficiently vivid to enable Americans to real ize the Position of allairs in England to day. Certainly there i? absent that wide spread disaster and financial collapse that marked that melancnoly era in tne his tory of n great republic. The manufac tures of Great Britain are so varied and her markets so numerous. and their de mands so diversified, that a gen eral collapse is almost impossible, ex cept under a combination of circumstan ces. which is not likely to occur, or which, at all events, lias not yet developed. But in regard to the general depreciation of values,(more particularly in the cotton, woolen, iron, steel and kindred industries, there can bo no manner of question. A conclusive proof of this statement is found in the fact that only recently American iron and steel contracts have been given to English houses at prices much below those, not only of American firms, but pre vailing here. The result of this stagnation and of the accumulation of capitul tnat finds no prof itable employment has been that English manufacturers have long since sought op portunities for investing their money un der more favorable conditions than exist in this countiy. For some years past many ironworks laid down with English •Unit and started on English capital have been opened in Spain, Belgium, Germany and l ranee. This exodus of capital has not been confined to the metal trades. It has gradually extended to other manufac tures, as one by one they have lost their elasticity and become depressed. The con. tinent of Europe is dotted over with Eng lish factories, the trades comprising Gie cotton, woolen, linen, worsted and paper industries, in addition to various metal works. These are planted wherever the conditions arc favorable as to facility of communication and cheapness of labor and material. It must be well known to your readers that for some time past representatives of English manufactures have been prospect ing in the States. Their presence has been reported at times in the coal and iron regions, where they have been seeking suitable localities for establishing works. The districts which have especially receiv ed their attention have been the metallife rous regions west of St. Louis and the dis tricts on the shores of Lake Superior.
