There is to be a splendid spec
tacular feature of the convention
In the form of a great parade, with
at least twentyrflve hundred Sun
day School workers in 11*^, The
>t?a'0 Bible Class parade of laat
year, which- attracted 80 much at
tention at Spartanburg, ia to be
eniurKcd by ^taking In ail depart
ments of Sunday School work from
the babies on the Cradle Roll to
the grandafthert and grandmother?
in the Home Department. The Cra
dle RoU and Home Department will
be managed by meane of floats and
between the twto will march the
boat of Sunday School workers of
the State with banners flying, it
will be the greatest sight ever seen j
In the state.
The music will be the finest yet
heard at a State Convention. Dr.
Adam Geibel, the blind composer,!
has been secured for the pianist.
Dr. Geibel needs no introduction
to the music lovers of South Caroli
na. His compositions, jblta played
and sung the world around. His
genius Is marvelous. Ait some time
during the Convention, Dr. Qelbel
has consented to compose a song
on the Convention platform. This
remarkable feat requires perfect
knowledge of harmony, composition
and pitch, but Dr. Geibel doea it
with ease.
Jrhe singing is to toe led by' Mr. !
J? Lincoln Hall, of Philadelphia. It
will be worth a trip to Greenwood
: to see Mr. Hall handle jthe Conven
tion music. His skill an<J tact In
leading large audiences are re
markable. Mr. Hall, at the assem- j
bly meeting at Ocean Grove, New
Jersey, has led ten thousand peo
ple in song.
Greenwood is planning some so
cial functions for the delegates be
tween sessions. Taken all togeth
er, the three days at Greenwood!
will be delightfully and profitably
rf, spent. -

? OURAY.
Ouray?* fat, inscrutable-faced Ute

The Friend of the White Mwi," Cer
taiu white men living "our kiln reser*

Moundrel. Others held that he waa
>ne of those somewhat rare specimen*.
I "good Indian." Here is his history,
woveu with the tale of an Indian up
rising that,, brought his people Into
tragic ' prominence about thirty years
Mfo:
The branches ot the Ute "nation1*
were scattered over large sections of
Utah, Colorado and other states. Ouray
|&d his tribe lived In Colorado. They
were more or less at peace with the
white settlers, Ouray, who was rather
well educated, had gone several times
to Washington to urtfe his tribesmen's
right*. Nathan C. Meeker, the local
Indian agent, managed to dispense
Justice on the reservation and was
thought to have won his red ward's
love and absolute trust.
Forecasts of Trouble.
Colorado was becoming more and
pore thickly populated by white men.
Land that had once been practically
tree to all comers began to take on a
much higher vslue. Settlers grumbled
that the Ute reservation was too larga
and that so much goorf ground would
be in better use if parcelled out among
white men than under native ownar- ,
ship. Meeker saw that the reserve r
tlon must soon or late be eut down.
He is said to bave talked the matter
over with Ouray and, with the chief's
approval, to have suggested a plan for
easing the coming blow to the Utes.
Hunting needs far more territory than
does farm work. Bo Meeker suggest
ed that the Indians under his car*
turn their minds to agriculture. Ha
toven went gp far as to supply them
with ploughs, etc., and to order them
to till the soli.
The Utes (whether Inspired by
Ouray, or, as tie claimed, against his
advice) flatly refused. They said they
were hunters, like their ancestors, not
mere farmers, They rebelled against
the agent's authority. Dally the situ
ation grew worse. At test, in July of
1869, Meeker told tbe Indian depart*
meat at Washington that an outbreak
seemed imminent. He asked that sol
diers be sent to overawe the savages.
/ Accordingly two months later a
$occe under Major Thortiburgh came
to look Into tbe sta?e of affairs. Every
effort was made to keep the coming
*dT the soiarcrs a profound secretr But
in the mysterious fashion known only
-to Indians the n?wsr was flashed, from
one end of thp reservation to the
other, ^dded to the original facts was
a wud rumor that the troops "were go
lng to expel the Utes from their old
hunting grounds. Like wildfire the
tidings ? false and true alike ? spread
from village to village. The tribe
sptang to arms. A large band of tfte
braves fell upon the advancing sol*
dlers at Milk River, near the reserva
tion's northernmost boundary. Thori?
burgh and thirteen of his troopers
wwrt trawmnfl* the flora* of
tiro command were captured. The
rest, of the soldiers defended them*
selves as best they could behind for ?
tlflcatlons that had been hastily thrown
up. And here, for days, they were be*
sieged by the furious savages. titM
on the same day that Thornburgh
was killed a party of Utes swooped
down upon the local agency buildings.
Meeker was killed, as was every man
In bis employ. The wblte women and
children of the agency were captured,
but were later released unharmed.
{Meantime General Iferrltt and a
strong force of regulars hurried to- the
r**oue of the besieged survivors of
Thornburgh's command. Ouray sent
word to all concerned that the whole
uprising had taken plaoe without his
knowledge. He claimed that at first
news of it he had thrown himself heart

rushed off to meet General Merrltt.
Ouray's Triumph.
He filled the air, with protestation*
of his good will toward everybody ta
general and Merrltt in particular. He
assured the officers that Meeker's
slayers should be up to Justice
and made glittering promises for his
tribe's future good behavior. The up
shot of the matter was that Ouray's
fervent, pledges and declarations won
the day. It was a wondrous triumph
for him. He had saved his people
from heavy punishment For public
feeling against the TTtes ran high* and

would have asked nothing better than j
to have made war on them.
