Editorial Correspondence.
Greenville, June 6.-1 am at the1
Baptist State Convention, which)
tuet in the Springheld Baptist
church on Wednesday, lt is com
posed of a fine body of men. The
program was too full to give satis
faction. Sv^l^of the visitors, I
among thenif ?ywld' be given hut a
few minutes to speak to the Con
vention. Dividing my time he
tween the Convention and TitU
SOUTHERN INDICATOR subscribers,
! have been more than ordinarily
busy. As the Rev. Mr. Watkins,
the Secretary of the Convention,
says, he will forward to us for pub
lication a full account of the pro
ceedings of thc Convention, I shall
omit a detailed statement of what
transpired. All the old officers
were re-elected. This is said lo be
.one of the best sessions in thc his
tory of the Convention, lt was
also one of the best attended. The
Springheld Baptist church is a
handsome, modern brick structure,
capable of seating comfortably
about 750 people. It looked,
Thursday and Friday nights, as
though 1,000 persons were packed
in it.
Woman is becoming quite a fae
tor in the Baptist Convention, more
so than in any of the other religious
bodies, except the Presbyterians.
One can easily observe that the
Baptists are making rapid strides
along the path (6f education. The
number of scholarly as .well as elo
quent men is on the increase. Dr.
Goodwin, our hjst, appears to be
doing a splendid work in Green
gj?Uc- Wis-enl?j^ainrn?ttt of the
'Convention seem'.; to give general
satisfaction. The night of my
arrival I was entertained at thc
home of Mr. and.'Mrs. B. B. Mar
tin and had as my companions our
Columbia Dr. Goodwin and Deacon
Goode, of Second Calvary. We
talked one another to sleep. The
next morning my long-time friends
Mr. and Mrs. "Phil" Parker, whom
I bad known for 37 years, and to
whose home I had been assigned,
took charge of me till I left. Mr.
and Mrs. Martin are excellent peo
ple, and entertained us in fine style.
THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR has been
going to their home regularly for
some time. No one in Greenville
can entertain better than Mr. and
Mrs. Parker and Miss Parker
Thirty-seven years ago the last of
this month, immediately after my
graduation from the South Carolina
C/iiiversity, with no definite plan for
my future, I went to Greenville to
find something to do. 1 found a
country summer school and a home
in a Baptist family among whom I
found life-long friends. Two years
later I became the principal of the
Greenville public school. I made it
a graded school. 1 took it with 160
pupils. Ten years later, when T
left Greenville to become pastor of
thc Silver Hill M. M. church and
later principal ot the Spiirtanburg
public; school also, 1 lc\fl two
schools, of thc larger of which I j
was principal, and, T think, over 600i
pupils. 1 want to speak of four of
the teachers (two of whom had!
been my pupils also) whom I had
with mc there - .Mrs. Georgia;
[ohuso?i. Mrs. Mamie Poole-,
JVlrs. Katie Fair-Goodwin
domina Johnson. I knew!
?on when die was Ceor
Shc was one of thc,
[-st gills in Greenville
county and one of the most modest
and ladylike. She has raised a
family of boys ami girls, I wo of
whom. Dr. Charlie Johnson and
Miss Lucile Johnson, "nave more
than a State-wide reputation. Mrs.
Mamie Poole-Sloan is the daughter
of Kev. Gabriel Poole, the founder
and first pastor of the Springfield
Baplisl church, lt is t?o flattery to
say that she was one of the quietest
gentlest and most pious women ?
had i ver had the pleasure of being
associated with. Mrs. Sloan still
?dugs in (be church choir and
teaches school. I
Kalie Fair was thc recognized
leader in social, educational and re
ligious matters in Greenville. ?
have met but few women like her
anywhere. She was a horn leader.,
Her uncle, who was also her,
adopted father, was in good circum
stances and spared nothing to give!
Miss Katie and his eldest daughter,1
Miss Myra, a good education and s
to tit them for social position. 1
What Kalie said and did in thc c
home or what Katie said and (lid in >
thc Sunday School or in the literary ?
society usually went. Twice mar- i
ried, and now a widow with four t
children, every one a credit to her, ]
having had to drink deep from thc ;
cup of sorrow, and yet with grace ?
and submission, and faith in God. i
She is at her post in the same school
where 1 found her and where I left
her when I moved to Spartanburg.
M iss Emma Johnson is in a class
by herself. She was never fond of
niale society. She loved music and
I loved ber books . She loved little
children, ami is one of the best pri
mary teachers in the State. For a
time she was an inmate of my home.
She was always a devout Christian."
She is still teaching where I left
i her. She is in feeble health, and
I learn, has au assistant, receives
half pay, and is at liberty to stay at
home whenever she feels unable or
I indisposed to come to school. If
she were a white teacher the school
authorities would retire her with au
allowance sufficient to give her a
reasonably comfortable support.
Her salary has never been large and
1 doubt seriously if she has saved
anything worth mentioning.
During my principalship . in
Greenville a revival broke out in
thc school, and scores of the pupils
were converted. Mrs. Georgie
Johnson was the only unconverted
teacher among us. She. too, got
under conviction at thc school. The
three other teachers whom I have
named and one other. Miss Annie
Arnold, and myself, converted thc
school into a meeting bouse, and
got around her and thc other
mourners among the larger schol
ars, and sang and prayed with
them. lt was hard work. My
recollection is she because so sick
sin sick-that she had to stay home
on a Friday and "got religion" on
Saturday. Sunday, when she came
to church we church folks (Wesley
M. E. church) had one of the big
gest shouts Greenville had ever
seen. Soon after that the brethren
told mc 1 was called to preach. ?
kicked like a Texas pony, but I
finally caved in. and I became a
preacher.
I j wish 1 had time to speak of
some of the former pupils and pat
ronft, and- otjher ??fricnds7*\vhornl I
. have met. In the language of Col.
Roosevelt, I have certainly had "a
bully time."
Okcourse. I had to go to see our
?two Greenville correspondents. Mr.
Butler and Miss Glascow. Miss
I lattie is going to take a new start
in ber efforts for Tin-: INDICATOR.
and Mr. Butler will not be a whit
behind her. I find THE SOUTHERN
INDICATOR very popular in Green
ville. Mr. Butler and Miss Glas
cow will make the subscribers very
populous in Greenville.
This letter his been written under
difficulties I need not burden the
readers with mentioning. I can
only say in the language of a young
colored gentleman of slavery days
who had gone to bis young master
to have him write a love letter for
him. After the aforesaid young
boss had written about as much as
I have, he wearily said. "Well, Sam,
is that all?" Sam replied, "Well.
Boss, just close by saying 'please
'sense bad writin' and spellinV "
C. C. S.
Just the Thing for Teachers.
The State Summer School, ad
vertisement of which appears in
another column of this paper will
be largely attended by teachers
from all portions of the state. The
State College at Orangeburg is an
ideal place for this gathering of
teachers, being spendidly equip
ped for agricultural and vocation
al work, which will be attractive
features of the courses outlined.
Some of the leading and most ex
perienced instructors of the state
have been invited to places on
the faculty and facilities for their
work have been provided for in
appropriations by the Legislature
and the Slater Fund. The State
Department of Education has
given its hearty endorsement to
this project, and several of the
county superintendents have sig
nified that they will not re-issue
certificates to teachers who do
not attend. Thete incentives
should largely increase the enroll
ment, and it is hoped that all
progressive teachers will make
arrangemeats to boon hand when
.the roll is called on June 29th.
The school will last four weeks.
