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.

Full Proceedings of the Convention Held In Newnan. Tbe Geortia Baptist Convention met at New nan on tbe morning of April 23, and Dr. H. Tucker preached tbe introductory sermon, which was pronounced a masterpiece. It was sermon on ‘ Election,” from Romans 8: S3. The organization took place in the afternoon, by the election of Dr. P. H. Kell, president Dr. O. R. McCall, secretary, and Rev. E R. Carswell, Jr., assistant secretary. Three Associations were received as con •tltuenta of the Convention, viz: The “Mal lory," the “Centennial," and the “Miller” Associations. The Convention is now composed of forty- two Associations, contslnlog about 90,000 church members-constltuents of the Conven tion. There are betides seventeen other Asso ciations In Georgia, not members of the Con vention, but friendly to it, which contain 22.000members. In addition, there are 12000 anti-missionary Baptist* in the State. Add to all these tbe 8.000 reported additions of the past year, aud the total number of white Baptls's in Georgia is 132,000. that are repor'ed; but it Is known tbat some are not reported, tbe number of whom estimated at 3,000—making a grand total of Tine.

'he colored Baptists are reported In the 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; *■— *—*—*-ict their Ir“-*-“ tlxTsll fa. „ !or colored preacher^ heartily welcomed _io has gone. Far 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. As 8iate 8unday-school evangelist Rev. T.C.

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.

Though not as large as usual, moat of the prominent Baptism of the State were present. Each day at 11 o'clock the body adjourned to hear preaching, and also, there was preaching at night.
