Greenville, June 6.-1 am at the Baptist State Convention, which met in the Springfield Baptist church on Wednesday. It is com posed of a fine body of men. The program was too full to give satis faction. Sv^%^of thc visitors, I among thenif^Srld'be given but a few minutes to speal* to the Con vention. Dividing my time be tween the Convention and THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR subscribers, I 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 the Convention, I shall omit a detailed statement of what transpired. All the old officers were re-elected. This is said to be .one of the best sessions in the his tory of the Convention. It was also one of the best attended. The Springfield 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 (?f education. The number of scholarly as .well as elo quent men is on the increase. Dr. Goodwin, our hj^st, appears to be doing a splendfo work in Greett U?^--^s~^em^ainm?i?t of the onvention seenT to give general satisfaction. The night of my arrival I was entertained at the 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 had 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 University, with no definite plan for my future, I went to Greenville to find something to do. I 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. I took it with 160 pupils. Ten years later, when I left Greenville to become pastor of the Silver Hill M. E. church and later principal of the Spartanburg public school also, 1 ??\ft two schools, of the larger of wtiich I was principal, and, I think, over 600 pupils. 1 want to speak of four of the teachers (two of whom bad been my pupils also) whom T had with me there-Mrs. Georgia msoii, Mrs. Mamie Poole Irs. Katie Fair-Goodwin Emma Johnson. I knew! on when ike was Gcor Sbe wa? one of the, , ._st girls in Greenville county and one of the most modest! and ladylike. She has raised a family of boys and girls, two of whom, Dr. Charlie Johnson and, Miss Lucile Johnson, have more than a State-wide reputation. Mrs.' Mamie Poole-Sloan is the daughter of Rev. Gabriel Poole, the founder and first pastor of the Springfield Baptist church. Tt is no flattery to say that she was one of the quietest gentlest and most pious women I had ever had the pleasure of being associated with. Mrs. Sloan still sings in the church choir and teaches school. I Katie Fair was the recognized, leader in social, educational and re ligious matters in Greenville. I have met but few women like her anywhere. She was a born leader., lier uncle, who was also her, adopted father, was in good circum stances and spared nothing to give Miss Katie and his eldest daughter, Miss Myra, a good education andjj :o fit them for social position. , What Kalie said and did in the home or what Katie said and did in thc Sunday School or in the literary society usually went. Twice mar ried, and now a widow with four children, every one a credit to her, having had to drink deep from the cup of sorrow, and yet with grace and submission, and faith in God. She is at her post in the same school where 1 found her and where I lef11 ber when 1 moved to Spartanburg. Miss Emma Johnson is in a class by herself. She was never fond of male society. She loved music and loved ber books . She loved little children, and is one of the best pri mary teachers in the State. For time she was an inmate of my home. She was always a devout Christian? She is still teaching where I left ber. She is in feeble health, and I learn, has an assistant, receives half pay, and is at liberty to stay at home whenever she feels unable or indisposed to come to school. If she were a white teacher the school authorities would retire her with an allowance sufficient to give her a reasonably comfortable support. Her salary has never been large and I doubt seriously if she has saved anything worth mentioning. During my principalship , in i Greenville a revival broke out in the school, and scores of the pupils were converted. Mrs. Georgie Johnson was the only unconverted teacher among us. She, too, got under conviction at the school. The three other teachers whom I have named and one other. Miss Annie Arnold, and myself, converted the school into a meeting house, and got around her and the other mourners among the larger schol ars, and sang and prayed with them. It 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 bad ever seen. Soon after that the brethren told me I was called to preach, kicked like a Texas pony, but finally caved in, and I became a| pres cher. I w ish I had time to speak of | some of the former pupils and pat 'ronfc, "dnd- ot^er^^riend^whOrrif T have met. In the language of Col. Roosevelt, I have certainly had bully time." 0"frcourse, I had to go to see our two Greenville correspondents, Mr. Butler and Miss. Glascow. Miss Hattie is going to take a new start in her efforts for THE 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 his young master to have him write a love letter for him. After the aforesaid young boss had written about as nundi as I have, he wearily said, "Well, Sam, is that all?" Sam replied, "Well, Boss, just close by saying 'please| 'sense bad writin' and spellin'.' " 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 ?san ideal place for this gathering of I 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 provide? 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. These incentives should largely increase the enroll ment, and it is hoped that all progressive teachers will make arrangemeats to be on hand when the roll is called on June 29th. The school will last four weeks. School Closing Concert. Ther2 will be given at Jones Chapel A. M. E. Zion church on Blossom Street, A School Closing Concert, Monday night June 15th it 8:30 o'clock. The manager is I leaving no stone unturned to rcju- J 1er a high class entertainment which is bound to delight and in spire all who attend.
