that our farmers have plenty ot cash with

What n Detective Did.
In 1883 a negro named Bill Lee, in Lump
kin, seriously stabbed another negro, and
afterward shot at Sheriff Holder, who tried
to arrest him. Bill made hts escape. A
few weeks ago a Mississippi detective,
while tookfng in Alabama for a fugitive
from bis own State, spotted BUI and cap
tured him. He was carried to Lumpkin
last week. The Governor offered a reward
of $100 for Bill’s capture. Bill claims that
he only fired his gun at Mr. Holder to
frighten him at the time he made bis es
cape, and say* be bad no deciie to kill btm.
He is of the opinion that detectives are
sharp people, and says that the one who
arrested him attended several meetings at
the church with him, disguised as a negro,
and sung and prayed as load as any negro
at the meeting, As Lumpkin Superior
Coart convenes this week, the probability
is that Joe Browu will soon receive an
able-bodied recruit from Stewart county
or hts coal mines.
A Horrible Death.
A few days ago a yonng lady about 17
tars old, daughter ot Mr, Geo. Clark,
..vlng near Habersham, this county, set
Ing a pig pen In the yard on fire, attempt
ed to extinguish the flames. Her dress
caught on fire, and her screams
brought her lather to her assistance.
A tub of water was near by, at tbs
well, and Mr, Clark seeing the terrible
situation of his daughter, whosa dress was
by that time in a light blase, seized tbe
tub and attempted to throw tbe contents
upon her, and extinguish the flames, but
in his eagerness ond excitement entirely
missed bis atm. He then tore away her
clothing, bat It was too lets, tbe fire had
done Its work, she was so fearfully burned
that she died In a few bouts in great
agony.—Waynaboro Citizen.

minutes of oar convention at 131,000, but I
think tbelr own statistics make them 137.000
The two great objects of tbe Georgia Baptist
Convention are to promote missions and edu
cation: by “missions” is meant tbe extension
of religion.
Missioas.
For the extension of religion the convention
employs the agency of a boaid located at At
lanta, which through Its secretary made a re
port to tbe convention, conveying the Inform
ation that during the past year it had em
ployed, In whole or in part, tho time of thirty-
six ministers <J the Gomel within the 8tat«.
These, at 143 different stations, hid preached
2.C43 sermons, delivered 1.C52 addresies, led
787 prayermeetings, and attended 417
other religions meetings. They., had
baptized 230 whites and 152 blacks;
had organized sixty-eight Sunday-schools,
had constituted 9 churches, ordained 12 mini*
ter* and 14 deacon*, bad organ zed 17 women'i
missionary societies, had raised 12,284 55 for
building church edifices on their field, had
held 37 “Institutes” for the theological instruc
tions of colored ministers and deacona.whlch
“Institute*” had been attended by 222 minis
ters and 197 deacons. , . , ^ .
These thirty-six ministers hal made about
4.000 religious visits and bad traveled 42,500
miles. All this gives sn idea of what the con
vention proper is doing within our state, in
mission work.
BPKCULTU3.
As successor to Dr. McIntosh, who is now
pastor of tho church at Cedartown, Dr. G. R.
McCall has for three months been diligently
and uiefully engaged in holding Institutes for
the instruction of colored ministers and dea
cons, a work for which be Is well qualified by
education, training and by his knowledge of
the character of those people. Hit plan is to
visit different places and hold schools of lu
stration for a wc^k, attended by the adored
ministers and deacons. His labors are highly
appreciated by them, and promise great and
good resulta. . , . . , .
This work among the colored ministers and
deacons Is a work that has to bo done, and if
the Georgia Christiana do not perform it, some
others will; and the only way to reach quickly
the Urge mass of ignorant black church mem;

better is it for us to perform this
duty thus, in the only feasible manner, than
to permit strangem to come In and sow seeds
of di-.cord; or to leave undone a great and
good work, tbe performance of which Christ
ian cuty requires. I doubt if there is a man
in our KUte better fitted for this work than
Dr. G It McCall.

liquor traffic will no longer r st upon the peo
ple of our beloved 8’.ate. Christianity involves
morality of the highest type, and a profession
of allegiance to Christ commlU the man
to co-operation with every enterprise which I
loots to the promotion of temperance,
uprightness and purity. To be a member of
‘ ” iptlst Church is to belong to tho best
.trancesociety ever instituted; and this,
of Itself, should be sufllclent to enlist every
Georgia Baptist in the great temperance move
ment. In saying this, however, we would not
Intimate that effort should be confined to the
fields opened by our church organization* All
discreetly conducted associitlooi engaged in
this cause should have our sympathy, our
prayers and our co-operation.
