Morgan, from the Ohio Penitentiary. rho Noted Cinfederato Haider and] 11 is Comrade lind No Assistance j from Outside. Ever since the escape of John Mor gan the famous Confederate raider from the Ohio penitentiary insinua tions have been made that Morgan and six of his comrades had outside assistance from Southern sympathiz ers, and that Warden Nathaniel Me rion conived at the escape. But this is not the case. Thomas W. Bullitt, of Louisville, lieutenant in the second Kentucky Cavalry duriug the celebrated Mor gan raid, has just visited the cell in the Ohio penitentiary in which he was confined in 1863-4 as a prisoner of war. This is Mr. Bulitt's first visit to the penitnetiary since the escape. In very expressive terms ?ie denies the insinuations regarding the escape. Accompanied by the deputv warden, Mr. Bulitt visited the cell in which he was confined and also that was occupied by Morgan. "There was no outside help in the escape," said Mr. Bullitt to a representative of the New York Times. "I know, I was in with the plan from the first, and I helped dig the tunnel through wnich the men escaped. The whole thing was plan ten bv Captain Thomas Hines, and ihe hole through the floor was in lis cell. It was kept absolutely se cret, even from our own mon. "Not more than a dozen or fif teen knew anything about it until die last day when we were unable to keep it from them any longer. I knew .ibout it because I helped with the vork. I am positive that not a sin gle person on the outside knew a ching about it. And I'll say this ibout Merion, who was warden at this time: I never did like him-I lisliked him exceedingly-but he lid not know a thing about the es .ape. There has been some suspi r?n that there was some eonniov ince on his part, but it was absolut >ly untrue. "The work was a'l done with case 'tnives, which we stole from the din tng room, and one shovel, which one )? the men stole somewhere. It was ased in digging the tunnel." Bullitt assisted the other men to ?et away, but did not go himself because his cell was near the end of the cell block-No, 4-and a gaurd ;tood near it. It was feared this ..uard would hear him if he made jin attempt, so he decided he should day behind. Captain Hines, who had ..ell 19, commenced the work, dig ging through the floor, under his oed. Every morning he would clean his cell up nicely and put every thing in such prim condition that a 'ook at the inside, without making an examination} "During the day when the [Tncn-->were_allowed the freedom of tlie corridors j for exercise, lown through > this ' hole the men .vouki climb. The cell tier was built on an archdi'.y, and in here there was plenty of room to work. The distances were carefully meas ured and holes dug up to the cells from below. When the floor had oe?n sufficiently removed that a stamp of the foot would break it through, work would be started on another cell. "At the same time work was go ng on in the tunnel. On the day ol* General M irgah's escape be changed cells with his brother, 'Big Dick' Morcan. A hole had been dug into Dick's cell. In this way the general escaped, the brother staying behind. "Pour of the seven men who es caped are dead," said Mr. Bulitt. "Smth, 1 have not seen for two years or more and 1 am not certain whether he is living, but 1 think ne is. McGee and one other I lost track of soon after the war, and I don't know whether they are living," Mr. Bulstt was a prisoner from \ugust, [Hi',:\, until early in thc spring of 1864. Only the commis sioned officers were conllned and on ly a part of them were put in the Ohio penitentiary, the others being taken to Allegheny, Pa. Mr. Bul lit, knew but little about the prison, as the Morgan men were not ai low oil to work in the shops. "The only part of the inside of '.he penitentiary I ever got to see was my own corridor and what I could see while being marched across the court to my meals. We often wished they would put us to work in the shoos. We would have taken the prison if they had." Mr. Bullit came near making this visit to the prison on the anniversary of Morgan'.1; escape. It was in No vemher '?1, 18G?, and his visit wah only a few days later, forty-four years after the escape. A Nico Job.

SOCIAL CONDITIONS. f nt bf For Tho Very Interesting Add. ? SM of Mr. <?*eo. A. Heers, Formerly of "Bris tol, Conn., Hut Now n Hes klont. Howesvlllc, Delivered nt lils mer Home to an Andienen of Ifc . ' '" s ? ? / publicans. Mr. George A. Beers, assistant treasurer of the J. H. Blake Lumber company of Rowesville, S. C.,.whgjs at his home in Bristol, Conn., for the Christmas holidays, was by request of the programme committee, of the Men's Union of the Congregational church, the speaker at the meeking of the Union Sunday noon, and' he took for his subject, "A View of thc Physical, Social and Moral Condi tions of South Carolina and Its Peo ple, with Special Reference to thc Prohibition Wave that is Spreading Over the South." A correspondent writing to The State from Bristol says what makes the address of interest to readers of a Southern paper is that Mr. Beers, who has lived in tho South for the last 10 months, and in that time has come to view Southern conditions from a Southern standpoint, was lis tened to with the closest attention by an audience every one of whom is a Republican in poiitics and are lead ers of thought in the community. Mr. Beers said in part that the physical conformation of South] Car olina might be divided into the high lands and lowlands and that while the southern part of the State; was almost a dead level, the northern part, commencing at Orangeburg, 70 mi c 5 from the KOA, was s'ight y rolling with higher hills in thc vicin ity of Columbia and mountains In the northern part of thc State. ? The conformation of the land de cided apparently the character of the settlements of the early days.' Thc cavaliers came to South Carolina and settled on the lowlands and built up large estates and lived in baronial style and with the> great (?states cultivated by negroes became the ar istocrats of the State. The higher lands were settled by small farmers of Scotch-Irish ancestry and to this day there is something of a distinc tion in the character of the tpeople inhabiting the different sections. There never have been nearly so many negroes in thc upper ctbunties of the State. In speaking of the social conditions it can be said that the ever present negro furnishes a question that only the Southerner can handle widely and he will be put to his Nit's bnds to know how to handle it to tfte best advantage of all concerned. / In the first place there.L? WP" " d race antagonism. Tue negro hrof?fti ot ask for social or political equality and it can be said that in the ruril com munities he is not looking f{>r it or expecting it. ? A white man who goes iqito thc State from the North m??t learn that thc negro is never to bi? Address ed as sir. He does not expfe^t to be put on the same social plane as the white man and will despise tjie white man who accords him that place. Then again the white man ijrom the North must not do it, if Lc expects to be treated like a whit? man by the Southerners. Among themselves the Southern ers are the most hospitable people on the face of the earth and the strang er in their midst will be fronted like one of their own kind, as long as ho does not overstep the code of conduct which the Southerner has establish ed for himself. When it comes to business the Northerner will find that the roan in the Southland is able to hold his own with the sharpest Yankee tjx?t ever tried to make a bargain. Tnere was a time when the Southerner, who call ed himself the aristocrat looked down on the mun of business and, the pro fessional man as well, uni thc lat ter was a land owner also, j but that day has largely passed away. Today the business man of the SUate is its greatest hope for future success. Columbia is a good proof of what business can do for the South.

At the Prospect camp meeting, which the speaker visited last fall, where 1,200 negroes were gathered together there were but few to be seen who were over 50 years of age and of those all without an exception were old time slaves. The larger porti m of anv gathering of negroes to be seen in the State are under 30 years of age arid the cause for this is found in the death rate which is abnormally high, owing to u sanitary living and inherited dis ease which saps the vital powers. The speaker boarded while in the South with a doctor and he was told that the death rate among the ne groes from pneumonia during the winter and spring months was something great. They take no care of themselves or of each other when sick and a pneumonia patient is almost sure to die. Consumption which was unknown in the old slavery days, now claims its victims by the thousands among the negroes. This condition of the negroes may be something to be deplored but it looks to the speaker like a survival of the littest and as being the way that nature takes to carry out its inevitable laws. In speaking of the wave of prohibi tion that is sweeping over the Stale it can be said that the negro or rath er the presence among the people of the negro is responsible for what is being done all through the South. While the negro in the rural com munities of the South is tractable and docile when sober, there is no telling what he will do when drunk and the fear of what might happen in communities where the negro out numbers the whites turee or four to one, as he does in many places in the South, that is making the white man pass laws that will make it as hard as possible for tho black mm to get liquor. The white man of the South is much like his white broth er of the North. While there is no longer the sideboard in every home with an invitation to drink extend- d to c/erv visitor any moro than the sam3 thing exists in the North, yet the white man by means of duos and kindred organization^ will get what, he needs to drink even in pro hibition State . like Georgia ?md Ala bama. The speaker thinks thal, the coun ty dispensary law of South Carolina with local option comos as near serv ing the drink evil as any metl od that bas come under his observation. With the business handled in the way that it is and with good men in tin? county dispensaries who will not soil to n en who are drunk ordne k ards ai d wit h the law as il is, so that it must bi sold only between sun up and sun down and the places closed on special occasions, it .seems to n ect the situation as wo|l as nt-y law of human contrivance can, lt is ?W-l, ,'?B SOME GOOD BOOKS.
