STORY OF ESCAP?
Of Gen. J. H. 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.

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. With
a population that has nearl/y doubled
since the last census was tiiken it is
one of the most progressiva; cities ot
the South.

to old age. 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

the opinion of the speaker that near
ly all the counties except Richland
and Charleston in the State will g
dry at the next general election. I
is also Ins opinion that the law as i
stands is pretty well observed ?1
every county in the State oxcopi
Charleston, where practically even
restaurant in the city is a blind tige)
for the sale of liquor.
The people of South Carolina are e
religious people so far as outward *
forms go and in the little village
which has been the home of th?
speaker for the last year practical y
every man, woman and child is a
Methodist, which church fairly di
vides the honors for membership
among the people of the State.
In noticing obituary noticies as
printed in The State the speaker ha*
observed that practically every one
written about who is a man of ma
ture years recites the fact that he
was a distinguished member of such
and such a regiment in the late wai
and he was an active member of
such and such a church.
The speaker believes that the peo
ple of South Carolina are as gooe
1 and no better morally and spiritualh
than the native born population ol
Connecticut. Ol' course they do not
have the foreign element with their
loose way of observing Sunday t<
deal with as does Connecticut, Th?
speaker is satisfied that the proud
old State of South Carolina whicl
stood with Connecticut shoulder to
shoulder in lighting th . wa of In
dependence has a splendid future
before her. The war and tho Rocon
.'-trvKdion days put back hi r develop
mont ha'f a century but the popple
have taken hold to place her in the
front rank of States and already
their efforts are boat ipfif fruit to h
