The Use of Prison Labor In Dailding Publie Highwaym - A Labor Lead- - er's Plan For the Employment of Convicts In This Work. Tile convention of American road makers which met in Detroit was re markable in tills respect, that Mr. George Burns, the great labor leader and president of the Michigan Labor union, advocated the use of prison labor either \ln building roads or in preparing material to be'used for hard ening their surfaces. le Is the first great labor leade' to advocate this course, although it has been suggested by many speakers and writers on this question during the past ten years. Mr. Burns sees that it would be clearly in the interest of such prison labor and also in the interest of free labor to have the great army of prisoners now in the jails In the various states who are doing no good for themselves and adding nothing; to the common wealth applied to ty 1 road proposition in some formi G,' y"Idra - Many people object to a suggestion of this kind because they say that the use of such labor for such a purpose would have a contaminating influence in the community where the work is done. But to avoid such a result Mr. Burns showed that this labor could be applied in the preparation of material, either brick or broken stohe, where tlye prisoners could be worked in inclo sures as they now are. The products so produced would not-come in contact with free labor as the articles general ly produced by such labor do. Conse quently by this course you avoid com petition with the manufacturer who offers for sale the manufactured arti cle or conipetitioin with the free labor er who works to produce these articles, and at the same time the prisoner is teceiving more useful instruction, hav ins healthful exercise and adding gi in the course of years to the co wealth. If Mr. Burns' idea, soupd---mid wvholesome on iould be adopted by the labor unions of this countvy gener ally, it would bring to the road cause great aid. % The great meeting of the automobile manufacturers of America held in Chi cago soon after this Detroit convention developed the fact that all of the auto mobile manufacturers of America are heartily in favor of some general plan of road building that shall be applica ble to all the states in the Union. Be inlg unanimous ini tIls view, they adopted a resolution indorsing the pas sage .of tihe Brownlow bill, which pro vides for a system of nlationlal, state and local co-operation iln tihe perma nenit improvemenlt of thle pulblic high ways. It is very evident from the logic of evenlts thlat the time is rapidly ap preaching whlenl tihe friends of the good roads cause will be able to unite many forces in favor of tile general plan of road improvemuent thtat hlave hlitherto been eiher indifferenit or hostile. Thie labor leaders generally have been hlostilo to the idea of applying the prison labor to tis work, but no0w one of tihe most progressive leaders of or ganized labor hlas comle forward and indorsed in tile most hearty amnd intelli gent way the idea of applying tis Ia i bor to tile general welfare of the comn mniity by building up thle public roads. Iln order, however, thlat this shall be made possIble thle road building au thorities in thle various states and counties must be provided with neces sary funds in order to obtain proper mnachlinery, enginieering skill an~d eX pert labor so as to make use of the army of prisoners who would be put at their disposal under tile now plan. Iorder to seemy this necessary fund aid igee &ubre evident that tile, adotenational governmenC~t shlould be caijed in to supply a portion of tile mone . This l's all provided for by tile Blrow low bill, whlich was not only in dorsd by the Chicago convention, but also by the Detroit convention of American roadmakers. Every conven tion mlet to consider tis qulestionl since tihe Brownlow bill was inttroduced in congress has1 in..sed tile bill anid urged its passage. -Hion. Martin Dodge. Sick H eadache ?

T W..L Boste a h idYuHeAwgBg REMINISCEN The members 6f this association are known as Misei nary Baptists, but from the records their efforte were never very great nor theit operations. very extensive. We trust that the small beginning may have a layge ending, that the seed planted by our fathers may -nulti ply one - hundred fold and more. The first mention of. Missions was in 1847 when a resolution was passed to organize a Home Missiol Board, the duty of which "shall b( to employ a: minister or minister to preach the gospel in such field' as they shall designate, having firsl in view the more destitute pqrtionE of this association.'' The Board was not appointed and no furthei -mention is. made of Missionary work until 1853 when a report waE made showing that the Board had received $39.00, and they with that inoney employed five different brethren who performed fifty-five days work (preaching,) and was paid fifty cents per day. These efforts continued at intervals; iometimes Missionary work would be done and then again there would be years elapse and nothing done. [In all this time nothing was said and no efforts made to send the gospel beyond the bounds of the association. In 1875 a great Mis sionary rally took place at Cathey's Creek church in North Carolina, for it was there the assooiation held its meeting that year. I say "greatV because it was the longest step taken by the association during its existence for the spread of the gospel. And I surmise that Rev. A. W. Lamar had a great deal to Jo with infusing such zeal into the brethren. At that meeting the issociation decided to aid State, Rome and Foreign Missions and .hey appointed committees to look ifter and report upon these inter ists. The first year after this the mm of $94.95 was raised for State dfissions which shows that the ipirit which took hold of them at 3athey's Creek had not diminished. The association has never done what she could do along this line, indeed I do not believe that she has done one-tenth of what she could or should do, for besides being the largest denromina tion in the county, they are the wealthiest. But in the early years there was opposition to Missiona~ry work, indeed there were members of the churches who did not believe in supporting the pastors. They were in this sense hardshells anid it was a great draw back to the Cause of Christ. And I am ashamed to say that we have some among us today who believe the same way, because there are many who do niot contribute from one end of the year to the next one cent for any purpose. And if we take the re, ports of the churches a large per oentage of the members do not be lieve in supporting the pastors or contributing to M issions. Christians aan have their honest differences as to methods of work, but this should not lessen our interest in the cause of Missions. While we are wrang, ling over methods and plans souls are going into eternity unsaved, and their blood will be required at our hands. The watch word and great cry of- this year should be Missions. No matter how you send the money so it gets there. Another important matter the Baptists of this section-was a little slow in-education. They have manifested some interest along this line, hut have been and are now in some respects behind thieir brethren of other -sections ot the State. The first effort to establish a denominational school was in 1884, when the Tuokaseige Asso ciation sent a delegation to this association requesting that the two bodies meot together by their representatives "in connsel to con sult upon the propriety or impro priety of establishing a literary school." fhe request was not granted, for what reason is not known.. Nothing more was done along this line until 1875 when the members ifecame so much inter ested in the cause of Missions at Cathey's Creek church as above re lated, when among the many reso lutions that passed the Executive Committee was authorized "to de vise somos plan by which a good Baptist High School may be ,es tablished in our bounds for "the eduo ition of our sons and daurgh. This committee reported ty neit sainn. ta~ht teare wa..6...re CES- of the Twelve Mile River Baptist Association..... need- of more education u the bounds of the association and re ferred the matter to the churches with a request that they report their views on the subject to the next session. And this was the end of the matter until 1888 Whea. an effort was made by this and the Piedmont Association to purchase the Piedmont Institute located at Pickens for school purposes. A good deal of money was subscribed for this purpose but not enough to meet the demands and the pro ject failed. The 'last effort made was last year when the trustees of the North Greenville High School offered to allow us an.-interest in that property if we would build a dormitory. This also was rejected. In their failure to buy the prop, orty at Pickens the Baptiats of this county lost one of the greatest op. portunities of their lives. We are a great people in many respects, but the old time worn volume of ininutes show that we are especi illy noted for passing resolutions. If resolutions can make a people great or wealthy then the Baptists of this county are at the head of the list. The "Circular Letter''vas from the beginning and is today a great feature, and a very interesting one, of the proceedings of the body. This "letter" would be prepared by a brother appointed at the previous session and would be a dissertation ul'on some religious subject. There are several printed in the minutes upon the subject of "'Church Dis cipline." The brethren in the'early years seems to have been much concerned about discipline. They were more careful of the conduct and strict in dealing with disor derly brethren than we are today. And I believe if the churches had continued the practices of their fathers along this line and been more strict in receiving members into the churches,:the standard of church membership and of religion would have been much higher than it is. Don't all say Amen at oncel There have been various dfforts to divide the association, the first of these was at the session of 1874, when, in pursuance of a resolution a meeting was appointed to be held at Salem church on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in Novem ber of the same year, for the pur pose of holding a consultation with regard to forming a new associa tion. Nothing ever camne of this movement. In 1878 George's Creek, Mount Carmel, Mount Pisgah, Mount Tabor, Beaver Dam, Enon, Flat Rock, Mountain Springs, Ens Icy, Filoamn and ILberty asked for letters of dismnission for the pur,= pose of organizing the Piedmont; and after they had been granted such letters, Capt. J. A. Griffin of. fered the following resolution wvhich wvas adopted: "Resolved, That we, the Twelve Mile River Baptist Association, wivxle regret ting that they see fit to absolve their connection from us, hereby tender them our sincere prayers for their future happiness and prosper ity in their new organization, hop.. ing and believing that our irropar able loss wvill be their spiritnal gain." And no doubt the Pied mont has accomphished more in its now relation than it would, had it remained with us. Sirece the Piedmont was organ ized there still remained a feelirng that the Twelve Mile was too large, that it could do more effective work in two bodies than one, and from time to time the question was talked of and agitated, but not un til last year did it moterialize, Then it was that four churches Pickens, Mountain Grove, Peter's Creek and Oolenioy drew cut and formed the Pickens Association. The brethren of the new organizia tion believe that it was the right step to take, that the baby associa tion will do as much as the old has been doing; if so, it will be a bless ing. They are very few in numbers now, but hope for other churches to unite with them from the Twelve Mile, Piedmont and North Green, ville Associations. Much more could be written about the Twelve Mile and her off springs, but for fear your readers will tire, and with my apologies for taking tip so much of your space with matters and thih gs that concern one sm ill ,baud of chris tians, and with apoio les to the reading public for the treespasenon them and their time, -an d for th~e imperfectness of the matter writ ten, I write Fline. ,A BAPTrST. p ([The End] ABOLSH RURAL ROUTES. Hundreds Estabtished by Machen tol'Iease Members of Congrels. The investigation made by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Bristow of the affaira of the free delivery division, formerly conducted by Superintendent Ma Cben, who was summarily dismissed and arrested on a charge of hrib ery just a week ago, has resulted in the discovery that in order to restore the service to a proper state it will be nocessary to abolish one third of the rural free delivory routes now in operation in the southern states and about one fifth of those established in the northern states. 'The investigation shows that routes have been established with out any possible excuse save as a matter of -favor to membPra of Congress, and that money appro priated by Congress for this pur pose has been expended with al most criminal extravagance. ,On many of these routes the receipts do not average $5 a month, and on others the receipts do not begin to justify the existence of the routes. The southern states which will suffer the most from the aboli4h mont of the routes are South Car olina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississ ippi and Ala. In the North Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire will be deprived of about one-fifth of the routes now in operation. Oth. er northern and eastern states will lose routes but in smaller. propor- 4 tion. But fow changes will be made in New York state. Postmaster General Payne said this afternoon that no acti.>n. would be taken to reduce the num ber of rural routes until a full test t has been made (if each individual ase and the results noted. Then t whatever routes are found unwar ranted will be discontinued. At present he declined to make an es-' imate as to the probable number f these routes.

Tihousands of Tong of Dirt and Hck Fined up a DOep Cut in N. 0. The side of a mountain caved in on the S->uthern tracks between Spartanburg and Asheville at noon last Friday. Thousands of tots of rock and dirt plunged downward completely filling one of the largest railroad cuts in the mountains of Western North Carolina and effec thally cutting of all traffic from the' south . The land slide occured near Try, on, N. C., just at the foot of Salu da mountain. The road had just succeeded in resuming operation of trains, which were blocked by w ashouts in Spartanburg county last woek, Thursday being the first day that regular schednles were in effect. The present disaster will cause annullment of all trains on this road for at least seven days, as the authorities say it will be im possible to clear the track before that time. It is also given out that another crack is seen in the mountai-i just in the rear of the cliff from which Friday's avalanche descended, and it'is predicted that another tumble ot'earth and rock will occur, in which event the railroad people say that it will be at least twelvc days before the running of through trains can be resumed. The train from Asheville for Columbia was wrecked within two miles of Hendersonville Friday. The engii.e, baggag, mail and express car and one passenger coach were derailod. Postal Clerk Horace G.
