The establishment of a department of
mtamstic theology, with Dr. J. G. Kyats
professor, is mentioned as an evidence,
0 ne cose of an increase of prosperity
in the institution. Professor Kyals is

cated systematic work and illustrated its
importance by the put action ef the Bap
tists, who united to organize Associations
and these Associations united to form the
convention and to foster educational and
other enterprises. Mercer University was
the outgrowth of this idea of organization.
Dr. L. Burrows, pastor of the first Bap
tist church of Augusta, a nuw-comer in our
.State, and a man full ot humor as well as
a man of intellectual power, coacludcd hi
a speech that was highly commended for
its eloquence. His subject was the “Spirit
of Sacrifice as demanded by the present
condition and the future prospects of the
denomination.” This sacrifice must be
exemplified by giving Mercer University
all it needs.
S.vtcrdsv Mousing, April 1>).—Dr.
Tucker, by invitation, addressed the con
vention on our Mexican missions, ho hav
ing been one of a committee appointed by
our frreign board to visit Mexico. He
gave an interesting account of our missions
In the State of Coahuila, told how our mis
sionary, W. D. Powell, went there ignorant
of tlie language and suffered persecution,
but was so successful and gained so upon
tlie favor af tlie authorities that valuable
proiierty was offered to the Baptists of the
south, through him, provided they would
maintain schools for girls. Our board re
fused to accept, but agreed to purchase
and tlie property, very valuable, was
bought at a low valuation, but more than
It was worth in the market.
The Doctor said that was the
best mission field of all in which the
Southern Baptists engage, and narrated
reasona which are too long for my letter.
The suhlect of State missions then came
un and Dr. J. H. DeVotio read his report
or the year’s operations, the most material
arts of which I will embrace in my next
letter.
The convention has been very busy to
day—too much so to adjourn for preaching,
anu tlie exercises have been very interest
ing. The main body of the church was

Henry has recently Invested his money in
- lot ot land near where he was living, and
tne purchase money was no doubt fur
nished by Captain Hervey, Captain Bar
ron and others. Henry had an eye to the
future.
Having him caged, there will lie a lull in
house-breaking until one of tlie many little
negro rascals now growing up gets large
enough to work at the dark trade.
THE WE8LEYAN GIRLS.
Awarding of Honors and Places at the
College.
Wednesday wae a large day for the col
lege girls. The faculty decided to award
the honors and places for the ensuing com
mencement then, nhd tlie girls were gath
ered In tho chapel and the reading out of
nsnies begun, amid breathless silence.
Hack little heart beat high with expecta
tion, as visions of white dresses and com
mencement llowcrs filled her mind, and
those who hod neither hope nor desire in
this direction, had a dear friend on whom
her hopes and wishes were centered. Im
agine, then, the excitement that prevailed,
as Dr. Bass slowly read tho following
names:
Valedictory address—Miss Hannah
Hines, Macon. Sal itatory—Miss Kite
Cranberry, llicomond, Va.
Junior readers—Miss Corinne Smith,Cus-
seta, Ala.; Miss W. Swoll, Savannah; Miss

thetrmtees of Mercer University referred
to verv approvingly and stated the co-
onerative action of the board. As soon,
therefore, as the reading of the report was
finished, Dr. J. H. Kilpatrick rose and
stated otticially tho action of the Georgia
Association concerning its "centennial”
exercises next October, and asking the con
ventlon to appoint a committee to arrange
the programme for three days of the cen-
• tennial exercises. The committee was ap
pointed with Dr. R. B. Headden
chairman, and It reported
morning, heartily indorsii
centennial movement, and
the invitation to participate in the centen
nial exercises next October. But whst is
most important, the report calls upon all
the centennial committees to report imme
diately the amounts promised by their re
spective Associations. A centennial mass
meeting was appointed for to-night. The
report drew ont speeches from several,
among whom were Dr. Henderson, of Ala-
barns, and Dr. Dickinson, of Virginia, the
former favoring and the latter opposing
oar centennial movement: but the latter's
speech was merely one of his quips, to stir
into activity tlie seal of Georgians, and the
consequence was a sudden and tlamlng ad
dress from Bov. D. E. Butler in favor of
our movement. He manifested tlie ut
most confidence in its success and felt sure
that the $100,000 would be raised.
At 11 o'clock the churclilwas crowded to
hear a sermon from Dr. 8. G. lllllyer, for
it has been decided to adjourn each day at
11 to hear a sermon by some appointee.
This morning, by request. State Commis
sioner Orr addressed the body on the sub
ject of education. He spoke ot the bill on
education in Cvokteev, and stated that its
passage would bring to Georgia $1100.000
the tint rear. $000,000 the second year.
$1,000,000 the third year and so on, making
as much given by Congress as is now raised
in the Ststa by both State and local law.
He asserted that although the whites paid
taxes on forty times at much property as
the negroes, yet tho latter actually pay
one-fifili as much for the rapport of
the public schools as tho whites. This,
however. Is owing to the fact that the
whites have so arranged it that
all that is paid by the colored population
ot our State for governmental support
shall go directly to the education of their
own children.
It will ba seen that as yet littlsor nothing
has been dona by the convention, as the
committees were appointed this morning
only. Ont speech was made, however, by
courtesy ot the convention, that 1 must
mention. Rev. G. J. Johnson, a-ent of the
American Baptist 1’ubUcatlon Society,
of Philadelphia, addrased the body
with a view to securing assent
to the cstabli.ilimsnt of a branch of
his society in Atlanta. He npuko for
some time, bat of course no action nor any
recognition of the matter was taken by the
convention. Hereafter I may refer to this
•gain.
Correspondents from Virginia, Drs.
Jones and llkkiiiion: from Tennessee,
l'rs. Tcasdale and lbihertson; from Ala
bama, Drs. Henderson ami Rcntroe; from
Kentucxy, Dr. Joseph 1*. Bovce, president

to-day and took seats on tlie tioor at the
convention.

Atlssta, April 25.—This alternoon the
convention met at 3 o'clock, Dr. Mell in
the chair, and all the afternoon was con
sumed by speeches In favor of Mercer
University and the centennial movement.
Rev. D. E. Butler hod the floor, and com
pleted an able and eloquent speech in favor
of tlie education of BapUsta. He pleaded
strongly for sanctifiedinfluence in educa
tion, and favored education under religions

CAUCHT AT LAST.
Capture of the Burglar of n Dozen Trips.
Our citizens may breathe easy for
while at least, thanks to the shrewdness of
Lieutenant Charlie Wood of tlie police
force. The perpetrator of the dozen recent
burglaries is now occupying a cell at the
police barracks, with a jiemlentiary pros
pect staring him in the lace.
It will be remembered that these burgla
ries were managed skilfully, and that there
svas a system about them that proved con
clusively to the mind of Lieutenant Wood
that it they were not all worked by one
person, at least one person directed them
all. Money and jewelry were the
spoils in every case, and if perchance the
thief carried away a coat, vest or pair of
pants, it was because he was frightened
before getting in all of his work; but he
invariably threw them away. In the case
of tlie burglary at Col. Isaac Hardeman’s,
the Calonel found his coat next morning
on the fence with the papers intact. In
the Hcrvey burglary, the coat and vest
were found near Ayres's Park, and so on
through the list.
Knowing then that one head was at work
on this midnight work, the Lieutenant
gave his time and attention to finding that
one head. In his peculiar, quiet
way, lie suspected a party
of three negro boys, feeling
certain that one of the trio was the party
wanted, though which particular one was
the puzzle. He took them by turns and
shadowed them by day and night. Tlie
last one proved to be Henry Owens, gin
ger-cake in color and sixteen years old.
During tho Christmas holidays of issz
Lieutenant Wood arrested Henry - for bur
glarizing the store of Mr. Robert Waggcn-
stein, and bo was given twelve months on
the gang by Judge Simmons. He managed
to escape from the gang and has been
dodging in and out of Macon tor a long
time.
By these peculiar methods of the trained
detective, Lieutenant Wood became con/
vinccd that be had at last fomid
the man. He shadowed him closely, hot
in some way could not find his home until
Thursday night. Having chalked tl/ lin
tel of the house, he started out at 2 /clock
yesterday morning tod»g his game. As it
was necessary to guard the doors and win
dow* ot the house, to prevent the flight of
•o valuable a bird, the Lieutenant carried
with him officers James and Phillips, and
officers Martin and Gas Thomas.
THE PRESIDENTIAL FIELD.
Interesting Interview of Wm. Preston
Johnston.
The San Antonio Eagle contains the
following interview with Col. William
Preston Johnston, a son of the great
Albert Sydney Johnston, and one of
the most thoughtful men in the coun
try :
“What States should the Democrats
make their objective points, in order to
carry tlie next Presidential election?”
“Xu,the first plpce, ,we must havo a

correct policy. New York has forty

‘Of course, I do not regard him ns
tho only mnn with whom success is
possible, but I believe it would be safe
to make the race with big leadership.”
He wouid make the most available
candidate and most successful Presi
dent.”
“Don’t you think Mr. Flower is too
new a man to innko a successful can
didate?”
“He has a perfect record, as far as it
goes, and what we want is a good rec
ord and net too much of it. We want
another Frank lierce nomination. Mr.
Polk was objected to as not big enough
for tho men who are dazzled by per
sonal distinction, but lie had a most
useful and successful administration.
Government, nowadays, means busi
ness, and should be conducted by bus
iness men on business principles, and
not by stump speakers.”
“Do you think the second place on
the ticket should be given to u West-
tern or Southern man?”
“If I answer that question os a pa
triot, I should say from the Southwest,
but if you want my opinion as to what
is good policy, I would say Horn the
Northwest or Pacific slope.”
“We ought not to allow our personal
predilections to control us in tlie slight
est in the selection of a candidate for
President or Vice President. It is not
n question of sentiment, but of policy.
We ought to nominate to win. All
things will follow victory-. If we se
cure a Democratic President, the drift
of Democratic policy will carry with it
all those measures of reform, such as
revenue tariff, equal taxation, admin
istrative economy and civil service,
with a proper purgation of present
official corruption; which arc impos
sible undur a Republican President.”
“If the course you have suggested is
adopted by the" party, do you tclieve
there is a reasonable prespect of Demo
cratic success in the pending Presiden
tial contest?”
■ “Believing that our policy will be
settled and our candidate chosen by
men fresh from the people, and that
this country is Democratic to-day, I
think we will elect the next President
of the United States.”

the Anthony and Milne places,
and in the same locality
where John Bailey, the murderer, was cap-
i ured. Having surrounded the houee, the
Lieutenant ordered the inmates to come to
the door. There was a general reluctance
to open the door, but It was soon made
necessary, and an entrance effected.
There were four negroes sleeping in the
room. The father and mother occupied
one bed, white Henry and a chum named
Hcnrv Boewcll occupied another. V.’hcn
the officers went in their man wa* not to
be seen. Hls mother remained in bed and
claimed to he sick, while tlie man and Bos
well dressed themselves. Lieutenant Wood
glanced at the lied and a suspicion flashed
through his mind that Henry was in the

kin glove, a bunch of keva and sev-
cravata. These were brought Into
town, and then the lieutenant at hls liea-
ure took an inventory of tba articles and
found that Henry had been engaged In the
following robberies:
From Valentine Kahn's residence,
waleb, ring and seal.
From C. E. Schofield's residence, $70,

Tho early visitors to the court houso
this morning were surprised to no a
box labeled “dynamite” and attached
by a strip of linoleum to the door of
the office of tlie clerk of count- com
missioners and the receiver of’ tax re
turns. Some were afraid that the
thing was really the dangerously ex
plosive matemu and eyeing it askanco
kept away from it, while others looked
upon its* a practical joke, perpetrated
by some mischief-loving partiea. The
rude appliances were removed, but
they created no end of fun and sport.
To Repair Damages.
Dear lady, there is probably no use in
telling you that fashionable me in a great
city is a rough one on your beauty. Late
hours, loaa of sleep and mental excitement
will leave you by and by shorn of those
beautiful tresses which drew lovers around
you in other years. Artificial substitotea
can never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Barker’s Hair Balsam will atop
your hair from falling out, restore its nat
ural color and toftneaa, and prove cleans
ing and beneficial to the scalp.
