with increased attendance. The annual
sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Haygood,

tolerated by any enlightened government.
One of the features of the congress will be
discussion of the convict lease system.
A separate session has been set apart for
it's consideration, and both sides will be
championed. The discussion will be of spe-
cial interest here, as Georgia leases her
convicts. At the meeting of the association
tonight the subject of discussion was the
