CONVENTION OFFICERS CHOSEN
Hon. w. ]. Northen Re-
elected President.
State Missions Discussed.
Education To-day's Topic.

The headquarters of the Baptists of
Georgia are now in Savannah. The State
Baptist Convention began its seventy-sev-
enth annual convention with the First
Baptist Church yesterday morning. Ex-
Gov w. j. Northen is the presiding officer,
and the leaders of the Baptist host in
religious and educational matters are in
attendance.
There are some three hundred dele
gates, not including the seventy or eighty
ladies who are attending the convention
of the Womans Missionary Union. While
two-thirds of those in attendance are cler-
gymen, there are a number of laymen,
among them being many of the solid cit-
zens of Georgia.
The convention is composed of an intel
hgent and earnest body of men, and the
visitor will not require long to discover
that they are deeply interested in the
welfare of their denomination. This is no
pleasure excursion with them, and, al
though they derive much pleasure in the
enjoyment of the hospitality of the people
of Savannah and from the annual re-
union of those who are banded together
for the cause of Christ, their main object
is to give such direction to the affairs Of
the denominations as will conduce to its
future growth and progress.
The recently completed auditorium of
the First Church proved very suitable
place for the deliberations of the conven-
ton. The handsome architecture and
tasteful decoration of the interior were
much admired by the visiting brethren
and the new pews proved to be exceeding
ly comfortable, as well as conveniently
arranged
In accordance with the usual custom.
the convention was opened with a volun-
tary service of prayer and song, the sec
rotary Rev. b. D. Ragsdale, calling upon

hymn, Jesus, Lover of My Soul" This
was followed by prayer by Rev. B. NJ.

Bond.
W. F. Carter, the defaulting postmaster
at Meldrim, is still behind the bars of
Chatham county jail. where he was com
mitted under a warrant from United
States Commissioner Lewis. He has been
making efforts to secure his release on
bond, but has been unable to find a bonds

security of $3.50.
A few days ago Carter addressed a
communication 20 Judge Speer. in which
he stated that he was unable to endure
the fare given him at the jail, and asking
that some other arrangement be made
for him. The fare given Carter is the
same that other prisoners receive. and.

and wholesome. He is at liberty 20 vary
or increase il by other articles sent in bv

NEW YoRkERs WANT TO GET our.
Would Like to Sec an Earlier Day
for Their Muster Out,

AoF AheIr muster out.
Officers and men of the Two Hundred
and Second New York Regiment are anx-
ious to be mustered out. They are i'm
patiently awaiting the day when they will
be discharged.
April Is has been named as the day for
the muster out of The command, and it is
not apprehended that there will be any
change. The chief mastering officer here
recommended the day to the Chief muster
ing officer of the state by whom 1t was
sanctioned.
The records of the command are all in
splendid shape, and it is thought the work
could go on fast enough to admit of the
muster out taking place as soon as April
10. Some of The officers have expressed
the hope that the day may be changed to
an earlier one than the 18th, but the Gus
tom has been for the volunteer commands
to be discharged on the days indicated and
no sooner or later.

Shouid American girls be chaperoned?
is a question of never failing interest.
More absorbing discussions are held on
this topic than on almost any other by
young women of the day, says the New
York Herald.
The question is a vitale one to those
who wish to have their daughters turn
out in every way satisfactory, not only to
themselves. but to society at large. And
the young society girl IS asking how far
the chaperone's duty and authority are
to extend
There is a perfect horror among most
women to have their daughters turn out
to be Daisy Millers, and the ground taken
| Is that the chaperone absolutely prevents
| this. u1stfg
On the other hand the chaperone has
the effect of either doing away with the
unconscious liberty which is so much the
charm of an American girl, or of max
ing her wilder than hawk For there
seems to be something In young Ameri-
can blood which revolts against any sur
veillance.
However all this may be, fashion de-
crees that girls must be chaperoned and
must never be allow ed In the street alone.
Nowadays it is considered exceedingly
bad form for girls under eighteen to be
seen alone. OF course that is much worse
than If they were doing something really
reprehensible, so that little girls from
the time they are babies until they reach
the age Of eighteen must never be seen
unaccompanied by maid. governess or
mother. 2is5

consent to such thing fora moment.
THE WEAR And TEAR.
Therefore the mother must needs play

may be invited and go after them again.
