Mrs. Gielow Writes of Mountain Whites and Home Missions About twenty-five year* ago the Wo man’s Home Missionary Society of the M. E. Church was orsanlaed and brought Into existence for the purpose of bettering the religious and educa tional condition* of the emancipated slaves of the South. With but a small beginning thl* organization has not only established mnny school* for ne gro girls In every state in the Union, but has extended It* Christianizing aid Into many foreign land*, and last, but not least, now supports and operates four schools for the white girl* of the mountain districts of the 8outh: The Rltta Home at Athena, Tenn.. the Bennett Home at Clarkson. Miss., the Mitchell Home In Cedar Valley. N. C., and the Rebecca McCluskey Home In Bnaz, Ala. The first mission In the Southern mountains was established, however, by the Presbyterian board at Asheville, N. C., twenty years ago, and through the effort* of these untiring workers for humanity >1 schools and 14 missions now stand to their credit. Other mis sion boards and denominations have also Joined In this noble work to uplift the white womanhood of the mountains, until we are Informed that there are now 68 schools established. With *8 religious schools and with public schools, the question Is asked, "What more do they need to solve the problem of the mountain whites?" What more do they need! That Is a very pertinent question, and I am glad to be able to respond to It. "What more do they need?” Well, let us see. The area ooy r ered by the Appalachian region extends from West Virginia throughout the Southern states to Alabama. It Is estl mated to contain nearly three million people—one-half of which live In the nigh and Inaccessible mountain tops of this wonderful and beautiful range, and because of their remoteness are cut oft •Imoat entirely from the progress of civilization. One-half million of these highlanders are located In the moun tains of Western North Carolina, where It Is said that the public schools "hnve •Iways beeti," though of "low grade fnd short duration,” and that they have not been "uplifting to the people concerned.” Certainly the grade must “*ve been Exceedingly "low" not to **ve had more encouraging results, and ” **ems very evident that much mls- 'lonary work Is needed where "the While schools have railed to Inspire and uplift.” |n reply to the question "What more do they need?" I would say 68 [“ore missions, and a better grade and longer system of public and Industrial ■chools. North Carolina la a grand old com monwealth. She can proudly boqat of ”«r many, cultured men and women, *"d she Is struggling bravely with the Problems that have fallen to her and to “or sister states. She has lately added t*o-ml!llon donation to her annual donated ten millions to that fund had It been possible to do so. For this good old mother Is first In Illiteracy with 18 per cent of Illiterate native-born white children over ten years of age on her hands. A body of white Illiterates that In 1800 more than doubled the number of the combined white population of her sixteen largest cities. (See Twelfth Census of the United States, volume 1, page 25.) If North Carolina could have do nated 110.000,000 Instead of 12,000,000, It would not be sufficient for the work necessary to be done In her rural dis tricts alone. If a mission home could be established In every one of her seventy-six counties It would not be one too many. With all that Is being done In the Old North State and In other states for these, "our contem porary ancestors," so-called by the president of Berea College, much Is yet to be done, for In the language of Miss Snider, the national organizer of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society, "the filed Is so vast, and the workers so few, It seems an almost hopeless task” And Miss Smith, of the New York board of domestic missions, writes "that the work among the mountain whites Is both encouraging and discouraging. Encouraging In the wonderful results, discouraging In that the pathetic cry of these people for more light must be disregarded for lack of helpers." In fact. It can easily be learned that In every one of these mission homes for the mountain whites "every year more girls are turned away than are admitted—for the want of more room and more money." If there Is any doubt that more helpers, more schools —••Christian,” "Industrial” and pub lie”—are needed, go visit these In accessible districts, .where the lone mission worker tolls and see for your self. For, as Miss Snider told me, and as I already knew, "only those who have gone and seen with their own eyes can ever know or realize the pitia ble condition of these people." A very- good Idea of uliat work Is being done ami of the work that needs to be done among these highlanders of our South ern mountains, can he easily gotten during the winter season In New York city from what we hear In the pulpit and on the platform. For New York Is not only the headquarters of "mil lionaires" and "trusts," but that great metropolis la also the headquarters of philanthropists and missions, and It Is to this Mecca the earnest workers of the mountain missions and the various missionary fields all over the world turn for help, nnd seldom fall to re delve. It was In New' York I heard a voung deacon from Virginia who was on Ids annual solicitation visit to the metropolis tell of the destitution of and Ignorance of thousands of the Isolated whites tr the mothft state, In New York I heard - ■ ever pervading poverty and Ignorance of the mountain people he was endeav orlng to uplift." I heard a stanch young deacon from South Carolina apeak on the subject of child slavery In the cotton milts Y la . 1 Picturing the horrors of their condition with a pathos be yond words. It was there I heard the venerable silver-haired bishop of Ar kansas plead for aid, that he might carry the light of the gospel to the two hundred and fifty thousand chll dren of Arkansas,” who had "never seen the inside of -a school house nor heard a sermon." There were missionaries from deer gla anil Tennessee, and my heart yearned to lay a million at the feet of the good nrchdeheon of the Valle Cruel* school when 1 heard him talk of the great work and the great need In that district—where Bishop Homer is giv ing hi* life for the mountaineers of North Carolina. And I longed to re spond to his appeal nnd to the appeals from the Morganton district, where Bishop Satterlee's son gave up his lire In tolling for these people. Pleading, pleading, pleading, all pleading for aid for this great educational work In our Southland. And these missionaries horn I heard—came to see me at the Park Avenue hotel, to ask my Inter est. and to secure aid and help from the Southern Industrial Educational Association—grateful for even the promise of one scholarship for a boy or girl—be It for 150 or (25. it was In New York, too, I lifted my own voice In unison with theirs— In behalf of these people of the South ern highlands—"these people strug gling toward the light, these people who will use with anxious gratitude each guiding thought put In their way.” We asked In the name for the na tion aid for these children of the na tion—for to the nation they belong— North, South, East and West—and It Is to the nation we desire to restore her own neglected offspring. And In New YorkJ heard Booker T. Washington pleading, not for a few scholarships, or a few hundred or Even a few thousand dollars, but for "one million eight hundred thousand," to complete a three million endowment on one school for his people. His plea was eloquently seconded by Embassa dor Choat, Mr. Ogden nnd Mark Twain. And on a subsequent occasion this eminent negro not only spoke In behalf of his own race, but grandlloquently nsked the good people of the North to "help lift up the poor white brother along with the black.” If there Is no need for this work among our moun tain brothers, why the many appeals from the workers In the field? Why the hundreds of leaflets asking for aid distributed by the mission boards alt over the land? The vast per cent of Illiteracy In our Southern state* speaks for Itself and answers our question. There are 18 per cent of the native bom whites of North Carolina over 10 years or age needing Christian and Industrial edu cation to fit them for citizenship: 1? per rent In Louisiana, 13 per cent In South Carolina. 11 per cent In Oeor FACULTY OF TECH {WHO WILL CHOOSE IS NOW COMPLETE! snS rhon by j gla, nearly 15 per ^rMd n £?§SXt U wou n !dVaVb h .« picture‘aMds?of*tae ever present and Then who' has the rl*ht to hu.h the rl(ht In Alabama. With practically every old student back, and with hundreds of new ones seeking admission, the authorities of the Georgia School of Technology are preparing for what they hope will be the most prosperous year lu the history of the Institution. Already the dormi tories are crowded to their utmost ca pacity and many are seeking board in homes close to the school. The num- fcer who have reported for entrance examination Is the largest In the his tory of the Institution. At a recent mrctlqg of the board of trusteis an assistant In the depart ments of electrical and experimental engineering was authorized, and Pro fessor N. E. Funk has been secured fur this work. Profecsnr Funk Is a grad uate of Lehigh University and since leaving college has token the full West- Inghouse apprentice course In the snop of Westlnghouse Electrical Company at Pittsburg, which Is considered one of the best training schools In the world for practical engineers. Only K aduates of technical schools who ow exceptional ability are allowed to enter for this course, nnd a certifi cate from there is considered one of the best recommendations that can be given. For adjunct professor In the depart ment of drawing Ur. Matheson has se cured Professor Dwight Lowell. With the appointment of these two men the facuity of the school Is now complete, and every department Is In charge of trained specialists, who are In a position to give the very best of attention to the men In the various de partments. With the now chemical laboratory ready for opening, and the construction of the library soon to be under way, the Tech is now probably the-best-equipped Institution of the kind In the South, nnd everywhere Its graduates are recogniz ed as the very beat. Last year there were 30 positions open to the 16 grad- uates In the electrical engineering course before the graduation exercises, and It ha* become a byword that a diploma from the Tech Is equal to a position any day. During the past Bum mer the chemical department has re ceived several requests for men which they were unable to fill. On Friday the last of the entrance examinations will be over, and Mon day morning the regular recitation work will begin. Friday night a reception for the new students has been planned and a num ber of prominent speakers will address the students. Including Coach Helsman and President Matheson. The details of the reception have been In the hands of General Secretary J. Immbert Nell, of the Tech Y. M. C. A., and It ha* been planned with an Idea of getting the new men acquainted with each other and with the old students. Thl* Is the first step toward Increasing and mak- Ing pleasant the *oclal life of the school, something which ha* to a cer tain extent been lacking In past year*. With the restoration of Atlanta to It* normal conditions, politics Is warming up at city hall. • The scurry for places on the park commission Just now Is attracting the most attention, and behind It all Ilea a surprise. It's like this: Last Juno council very quietly pass ed an ordinance, which provided that the park commission shall be made up of the mayor and chairman of the com mittee on parks, each ex-olflclo, nnd six other commissioners to he elected by the general council at It* last meet-« Ing In 1806 aa follows: Tw j to «erye for one year, two to serve for two yoara and two for three years! at the end ot these respective terms their successors shall be elected for a full term of three years each. The ordinance, which sort of slipped through without attracting any atten tion or publicity, was Important Inas much a* It deprived the mayor of ap pointing the board and practically put It all In the hUnds of the present coun cil. It Is now understood that several member* of the present council are candidates for the park board. It Is said that Councilman Oldknow and Wlkle, both of w'hom retire this year, are in the race. Now here la where the surprise comes In: ' ‘ There Is a movemAit on foot to ab rogate this new ordinance and restore the appointive power of tho mayor, so amending the original ordinance as to provide for one commissioner from each ward. The politic* behind It? There aurely must have been some, for thero seemed last June no neces sity for a change. And then It was kept mighty quiet. And then It was regarded as a cinch that Chief Joyner would be elected mayor. The ordinance was Introduced by Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood, passed by council Juno 4, and approved b> Mayor Woodward June 7. - . .

GONE FROM CRAVE Rprelal til The Georgia*. Chattanongn, Tenn., Sept. 28.—The grand Jury has made some stsrttlng discoveries, It Is slated, concerning tho manner In which the county’s pauper dead are burled.

Von Davis, also of Graysvllle.’ Go., who has been Indicted on a serious charge In connection with the girl’s death. This Investigation revealed the fact that the grave which was said to have contained the body of the girl contained the body of a dead n’-aio baby. Above the grave waa plaint a shingle which bore thl* Inscription: “Wife of W. V. Davis, died Juno 80, 1906; burled July 1, 1906.” The grand Jury Insists that they Investigated th* grave whtrh was ssld to have contain ed the remains of the girl, and unless tho grand Jury is mistaken the body Is not in the paupers' graveyard. ,,r then the county sexton who buries pau pers' remains Is mistaken about the grave.
