LABOR UNIONS AND AUTOMOBILE,
MANUFACTURERS JOIN HANDS.
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,

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

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

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.

TUMBLED ON TRACK.
Side of a Mountain Caved Upon the South
ern. Another Crack May Mean An
other Slide. 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. Oliff received se
vere and painful bruises and the
fireman was also injured.
The cause of the wreck is un
known.
BLOODY FIGHT IN GREENWOOD.
One of the Inlients of a High School
Entertainment and Church Fes
Uval Combined.
News has rcached here of a
bloody cutting aflray at Phoenix,
in Greenwood county last Friday 1
night at a school ontertainment.,
John D. Williams had his face t
slashed almost beyond recognmtion t
by J. Buck Ward. Both are well I
known white farmers and Mr.
Ward's son, Dr. J. L. WVard, mar
ried Mr. William's daughter, The I
fanmilies have always been on good E
terms and the cutting wVas the re- I
suIt of a row that stairted last a
night. There was a high school C
entertainment at the Phoenix
school1 house and ice cr-eamn festival
was given by the ladies of the
church. Mr. Willhams was so well r
pleased with the singin~g of some u
little girls that ho ordered some e
ice cream for them at the close of ~
the entertainment. When the
cream wazs brought the little girls y
could not be found at once, havine 8
gone to another part of the build
ing, and so, the eyewvitnesses say
Mr. Ward told the waiter to give
the cream to some little boys ~
standing near which was done.
As soon as Mr. Willhams found out
what had been done he became an
gry and the twvo bngan quarrelling.
The lie was passed and, witnessis
say, Mr. Williams knocked Ward
down and jumped on him. Ward
then began to use his knife, Mr.
William's nose was entirely cut<
loose fr-om his face, both lips (
sliced in two, and a long gash
made in his throat, besides many
other outs on his cheek and neck. 1
While the wounds are not necessa- 1
rily fatal, yet the unfortunatei
man will be disfigured for life and I
have a painful time of it before I
the wounds are healed,(

that during the excitement Mr.

MUST SERVE SENTENCE.
The Judgment of the Lewer Court in the
Wilcox Case Was Aftirmed
Jamts Wilcox, the murderer of
Nellie Cropsey of Elizabeth City,
N. C., will have to serve his sen.
tonce of thirty years in the state
prison ft Raleigh, N. C.
He was tried twice. The first
time he was convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
be hanged. 'He was given a new
trial by the Supreme Court be
cause the spectators at the trial
made a demonstration when Wil..
cOx's lawyer arose to speak.
In the second trial he was tried
in a different county and convicted
of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to serve thirty years in
the penitentiary. From this judg
ment Wilcox appealed. This judg
mont the Supreme Court afliimed
in an opinion embracing thirty
tyl)ewritten pages.
The defendant's attorney's urged
that Wilcox should have been given
a new trial because most of the
eYideot'-e was sufficient to have
been sLImitted to the jury, second,
that the suicide theory was as
reasonable as any other theory, I
The court wont into detail in I
the consideration of these points. t
[t said after reviewing the argu
ment of the defendant's counsel
bhat the deceased had the oppor
tunity, the motive and the time to
Irown herself:
"This line 'f thougit, has been
itrongly preshed upo I na 1Y the
lefondant's able "anIncr-*
lounsel. To the adoption of this
new there are several serious dif.
iculties. There can be no doubt
,hat the deceased was greatly
(rieved and distressed by the con
luct of the defendant; that her af..
ections were trifled with. Her
3onduct showed her to be a young
wornan of deep and strong feel- e
ing. * * *
"The testimony shows that the r
3ondition of the river at and near c
to the front of the Cropsey resi- C
lence, with its receding shores, is J
Iuch as to make it necessary for F
1er, if drowned there, to go out I
eventy-five feet from the shore v
)eforo reaching water four feet 1
leep. The testimony in respect b
o the river all conflict with the
heory that she could have thrown r
Lerself in the water.''
In conclusion the opinion says:
''We think that in this case, C
aeasured by the standards pro- a
cribed by law, the evidence was
>roperly submitted to the jury, o
ud we cannot say they have reach- t)
d an incorrect conclusion.'' .
