[News and Courier. Feb. 27.J
Governor Miles B. Meweieney ar
rived here last night ovir the Soulh
ern Railway from Colunibia. H
came here to attend t he meting to
night of the State commissinr s 4f
tho Exposition. Private bnsines
brought him here in advance of t b.
meeting. He was seen last night a,
the Charleston Hotel and itked his
opinion of the Anderson stocka
scandal. He said:
"The matter was first brought te
my attention by an aionimons lettei
from Anderson County. Thie letti,
was evidently written by t-omtt ip
norant person. It detailed horr,r,
among so called slaves. I sait tb
letter to Solicitor Boggs, with i,
Btructions that he take thft matter l}
at once and make a thorough ies
tigation. This he is doing. A fe%
days after this the editorial in tho
Anderson Mail appeared. Now I
am not in a position to say wbethei
the editorial or-the letter caused th,
investigation. But a furth .- invei
tigation is going to be - te and I
believe the proper parties will be
punished. I do not know whetlie
the crimes said to exist should realii
be charged against the stocka< e
owners of Anderson County. W.
must remomber that there are al
ways two sides to a qnestiot, ano
this undoubtedly has two sides. Om
opinions must .now, the-refore, be
drawn from ex-parte statement-.
When the trial comes up those men
accused of imprisoning negroes un
der warrants of false ai rest will em
ploy the best attorneys in the Stat,
and the complexion of the case mosi
by entirely changed. I have ever.
reason to believe that Solicitor Bogg
is going to do his duty, and all the.
other officers, for that matter. If the
investigation, however, is not whal
it should be I shall conduct an in
vestigation myself, paying for it out
of the contingent fund. The watter
is a serious one and cannot be crie d
down. I look upon it pretty much
as I do lynch:ng. I have alway
used every power to protect a mani
from a mob and will continue to d
this. The Legislaturo just. clos, d
appropriated $3,000 for expanse.
incurred in protecting negroes frol,
mobs, or, more politely, harml. I aun.
ready to give twice-.tha:t amount. t .
protect a maui's life. If the men i
Anderson County are guilty of doin'g
what is charged against them they
should be huitted down ondl puenish
ed. I believe that 50orne whit.. meI
work negroes p)r'at ii much ias ria ilron)
contriacto,rsi work their maiules u
horses. In Anderson the~ ne.grI1
hove been imprisoned anid heat, no1
because they were niegroes, but bei
cause they were ignorant. I b.elieve
that if the thing is not stopped while
men will also be imprisonled.
"No more convicts.however, will toe
leased to private parties after D cerm.
ber 81, 1901. In cases of this ki d
where a person would leasee a conevic'
or convicts a contract would he drawn
up between tbe lessee and the Stale.
The lessee would bind himself to
treat the convict or convie bnumanel).
But I have known these contracts to
be broken. About two years age'
Superintendent Neal, of the Pen iten
tlary, reported to me that a convict,
who had beeti leased to someone mn
the upper part of the State, had re
turned to Columbia on seccount of bad
treatment. The conviet was badly
bruised and maimed.
"I believe in exposing crime, but
there is such a thing as giving too
much publicity to matters of this
kind. If the condlionse are aired too
much before the investigation begins
prejudice may enter and the situa
tion resolve itself, in the eyes of many
to the view of a white man against a
negro. Too often in such cases jus
tice is not done."
The Governor was accompanied to
the city by Phosphate Commissioner
S. W. Nance. Col. Vance is here for
a stopover on his way to Port Royal.
Just afte - Governor MeSwe-nny
itrrived bore ho was mot at the hotel
by Col. Louis Appolt, editor of the
Manning Times and a State Senator.
Col Appilt im here to attend the
meeting of the State commissioners
of the Exposition. He will) be here,
therefore, until tomorrow morning.
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
International Trans-Continental
Sunday School Tour.
Perhaps never before in the world's his
tory I as there been undertaken in the
cause of morality and religion a greater
or more important step than the organiz
ing' and catryilg out of the present
"Trans-Continental Tour" of I terna
tioni Sunday School Workers.
Five in number, they have been se
lected by the he ids of the International
Convention, from various denominations
because of their especial fitness as leaders
Anld teachers in the great cause of child
evaigelization
Professor H1. M. Hamill, of Jackson
Ville, Illinois, International Field Secre
tary, is perhaps the best known Sunday
School worker of our time. As a speaker,
writer, author and educator, his reputa.
tion is worl] wide He has been con
nected with the International Work for
several years.
Mr. Marion Lawrance, of Toledo, Ohio,
has been General Secretary of the Inter
national Convention since July, 1899
For ten years prior to that time he was
General Secretary of the Ohio Sunday
School Association. le has been Super
intendent of the Washington St, eet Sun
lay School, Toledo, Ohio, for the past
twenty-four years.
Prof. E. 0. Excell, of Chicago. has a
iational reputation as a publisher,
writer and singer, and his presence in
aires good, inspiring mu.,ic which is of
nuch value in the various meetings
Mrs. fi M Hamill, wife of the Field
-ecretary, is a Primary worker of great
lbiliLy She has done most acceptable
;ervice in a large number of conventions,
ind occupies the position at present of
ornal Secretary in the Illinois Sunday
ichool Association.
Rev. B. W Spildman is a Sunday School
ipecialist. le has been Field Sectetary
)f the Baptist State Convention of North
2'arolina since April ist, 1896, and is an
mergetic, earnest, practical Sunday
ichocl worker.
The commencement of the series of
rorty-four meetings to be held on this
-reRt tour, stretching from ocean to
>cean, lasting nearly fourteen weeks and
overing nearly 14,000 miles of travel and
eaching sev- nteen States and territories,
>egan at Richmond Virginia, on Sunday,
February 17th. The evening before in
Lhe V M. C. A. Hall an informal meet
ng of the Sunday School Superinten
lents of the city was held, and on Sun
lay, meetings in many of the leading
:hurches were filled with large and in
,rested audiences. The children's mass
neeting presided over by Mrs. Hamill,
.vho taught the lesson for the (lay, was es
.ecially large and interesting. Thie chil
Iren were also brkfly addressed by two of
he other nmembers of the party. Prof
[Excell led the singing, dividing his time
between several of the churches during
he day. It is the intention of the lead
rs of the International party to make the
bhildre n's mass meetings one of the spec
al features of the tour
It is a notable fact that Richmond is
lhe homte of Dr. Edward L4eigh Pell, the
ending Bible teacher in the South.
On Monday morning the party moved
mn to Danville, where the eleventh anunu
dl convention of the Virginia Sunday
-ichool Association was held on February
18, 19, and 20. More than one hundred
luly accredited delegates were in atten
lance, besides a large nunmber of local
eachiers and Sunday School wvorkers. Ail
aessions were wvell attended and the con
,ention was most enthusiastic.
Fcr the past three years, the writer has
Natched closely the progress of the wvork
>f the Virginia State Association and its
~rowth in Influence and efficiency during
his time has been most encouraging.
D)uring the past year under the leader
thip of the President, Mr. J. R. Joplin,
banker and business man of Danville,
nuch has beer. done which has helped to
plac-' the work of the association in bet
er shape and upon a more durable basis
About six mt nths ago they were enabled
.0 secure the services of Prof. T. A. Spren
keI as Field Secretary. Hie is an earnest,
mnthusiastic and untiring worker and de
totes his entire time to traveling through
aut the State, holding institutes, arrang
ng for and addressing county and district
conventions and organizing counties, In
mie with the international work, There
tre 10o counties in the State, twenty of
which are now organized
The work in the past has been greatly
retarded from want of money with which
to carry It on. This obstacle has now
been removed, largely as the result of
thd~ work of the International party, near
ly $2000 ivas ple,dged during, the conven.
elon just closed, The newv inspiration
and encouragemnent brought by this party
of International workers is inestimable and
ls bound to secure great and enduring re
snits.
High Point, N. C , was the iext place
visited. Here on February 20, 21, tild
22, the North Carolina State convention
was held, and the reception of the tour
ists was highly gratifying; the large
church was crowded to its utiost through
out the convention Two hutidred and
fourteen delagates were registered and
forty counties were represented
Much credit for the encouraging out
look in the '-old North State" is due its
State President, [lon N. 13. Broutinton, a
prominent lawyer of Raleigh and super
intendent of the Tabernacle Baptist
Sunday School of that cit., which is one
of the leading Sunday Schools in the
State Mr. George W. Watts, a leading
business man of Duirhin nidi a stalwart
Presbvtorian has done tiuch to support
the work inl the past atid has continued
his support this year even upon a larger
scale thai before. In 1899 the services
of Mr. J. W. Bryan were secured as a
field worker. At Charlotte in 1900 when
the nlext annual convention assembled
much progress was noted largely as the
result of the faithfulness and zeal of this
untiring worker Forty-one of theninety
seven counties are now organized.
The good work still goes on and now
at the close of this the i8th aninnal con
vention which has just been held, $-050
have beei pledged for the coming year.
The members of the international party
while they bring with them great help
for the local workers are also encouraged
and strt ngthened in their own work by
the earnestuc.s and devotion manifested
by those to whlni it is their mission to
britig aid and st gth to go forward in
this great work.
