Mrs. Gielow Writes, of Momit a in
Whites and Home Missions
About twenty-five years ago the Wo
man’s Home Missionary Society of the
M. E. Church was organized nnd
brought Into existence for the purposo
©f bettering the religious and educa
tional conditions of the emancipated
•laves of the South. With but a small
beginning this organization has not
only established many schools for ne
gro girls In every state in the union,
but has extended Its Christianizing aid
Into many foreign lands, and last, but
not least, now supports and operates
four schools for the white girls of the
mountain districts of the South: The
Rttta Home at Athens, Tenn.. the
Bennett Home ftt Clarkson. Miss., the
Mitchell Home in Cedar Valley, N. C.,
nnd the Rebecca McCluskey Home in
Boaz, Ala. „
The first mission In the Southern
mountains was established, however, by
the Presbyterian board at Asheville, N.
<\. twenty years ago, nnd through the
efforts of these untiring workers for
humanity 39 schools and 14 missions
now stand to their credit. Other mis
sion boards and denominations have
also joined In thin noble work to uplift
the white womanhood of the mountains,
until we are Informed that there ure
now 68 schools established. With 68
religious schools nnd with public
schools, the question Is asked, "What
more do they need to solve the problem
ef the mountain whites?" What more
do they need! That Is a very pertinent
•luestlon, and I am glad to be able to
respond to It. "What more do they
nerd ?” well, let us see. The area cov
ered by the Appalachian region extends
from West Virginia throughout the
Southern states to Alabama. It Is e*»ti-
mated to contain nearly three million
people—one-half of which live In the
high and Inaccessible mountain tops of
thl* wonderful and beautiful range, and
bemuse of their remoteness are cut off
almost entirely from the progress of
‘Iviiixatlon. One-half million of these
highlanders are located In the moun
tains of Western North Carolina, where
h l« said that the public schools "have
al "ays been," though of "low grade
fnd short duration," and that they
hsvr not been "uplifting to the people
^n. erned." Certainly the grade must
been exceedingly "low" not to
had more encouraging results, and
it very evident that much mls-
*tonary work Is needed where "the
Puhll. schools have failed to inspire and
u PHft." In reply to the question "What
m °re do they need?" I would say 68
tnor* missions, and a better grade and
longer system of public and Industrial
•ehooia
North Carolina is a grand old com-
Jb'nweitlth. She can proudly boast of
. many cultured men and women,
*mi she Is struggling bravely with the
Problems that have fallen to her and to
sister states. She has lately added
a two-mllllon donation to her annual
_n*-minion appropriation to her school
Iu nd, and no doubt would glady haw
donated ten millions to that fund had It
been possible to do so. For this good
old mother Is first in Illiteracy with 19
per cent of illiterate native-born white
children over ten years of age on her
hands. A body of white Illiterates that
in 1900 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 $10,000,000 instead of $2,000,000, 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 1 ono 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 foV 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, nnd 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-
||c”—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
us I already knew, "only those who
have gone and seen with their own
eves can ever know or realize the pitia
ble condition of these people. A very
good Idea Of what work I* bains done
anil of the work that to be done
among these highlanders of our South
ern mountains, .an be easily gotten
during the winter season In New \ork
city from what we hear in the pulptt
and on the platform. I'or New Tor*
Is not only the headquarters of mil
lionaires” and • trusts." but that great
metropolis Is also the headquarter* of
philanthropist* and missions, and It la
o this Mecca the earnest worker* of
the mountain missions and the various
missionary fields all over the world
turn for help, and seldom fall to re-
e ee It was In New fork I heard a
RSft.irdA'S
"TNew S^riTrUdTworke;- from
pic ture's'lld'es of'thV-7wr* present and
ever pervading poverty and Ignorance
of the mountain people he was endeav
oring to uplift.”
I heard a stanch young deacon from
South Carolina apeak on the aubject
of child slavery In the cotton mills
of that state, picturing the horrors
of their condition with a pathos be
yond word*. It waa 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 chil
dren of Arkansas," who had "never
seen the inside of a school house nor
heard a sermon."
There were missionaries from Geor
gia and Tennessee, and my heart
yearned to lay a million at the feet of
the good archdeacon of the Valle Crucls
school when I heard him talk of the
great work and the great need In that
district—where Bishop Horner Is giv
ing his life for the mountaineers of
North Carolina. And I longed to re
spond to his appeal and to the appeals
from the Morganton district, where
Bishop Satterlee’s son gave up his life
In tolling for these people. Pleading,
pleading, pleading, all pleading for aid
for this great educational work in our
Southland. And these missionaries
whom I heard—came to see me at tin
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 $50 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 York I heard Booker T.
Washington pleading, not for a few
scholarships, or a few hundred or even
ft few thousnnd 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 (’boat, Mr. Ogden and Mark Twain.
And on a subsequent occasion this
eminent negro not only spoke In behalf
of his own race, but grandiloquently
asked 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 all
over the land?
The vast per cent of Illiteracy in our
Southern states speaks for Itself nnd
nnswers our question. There are 19
per cent of the native born whites of
North Carolina over 10 years of age
needing Christian and jndustrlal edu
cation to fit them for citizenship; 17
per cent in Louisians. IS per cent In
South Carolina. 1) per cent In Geor
gia. nearly 15 per cent In Alabama.
Then who has the right to hush* the
N. E. FUNK.
of Bloomsburg, Pa., assistant of-
department of elootrieal and ex
perimental engineering.
With practically every old student
back, nnd with hundredn of new ones
seeking adml**ion, the authorities of
the Georgia School of Technology are
preparing for what they hope will be
the most prosperous year In the history
of the Institution Already the dormi
tories ure crowded to their utmost ca
pacity and many are seeking board In
homes close to the school. The num
ber who have reported for entrance
examination is the largest In the his
tory of the Institution.
At a recent meeting of the board of
trustees an assistant In the depart
ments of electrical and experimental
engineering was authorized, and Pro
fessor N. E. Funk has bsen secured for
this work. Professor Funk Is a grad
uate of Lehigh University nnd since
leaving college has taken the lull Wcst-
Inghouse apprentice course In the snop
of Wesllnghouse Electrical Company
at Plitsburg, which Is considered one
of the best training schools in the
world for practical engineers. Only
graduates of technical schools who
show 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 Dr. Matheson has se
cured Professor Dwight Lowell.
With the appointment of these two
men the faculty of the school Is now
complete, and every department Is In
charge of trained specialists, who aro
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 la now probably the best-equipped
Institution of the kind in the South, and
everywhere Its graduates are recogniz
ed ns the very best. Last year there
were 30 positions open to the 15 grad
uates In the electrical engineering
course before the graduation exercises,
and it has become a byword that a
diploma from the Tech is equal to a
position any day. During tl\e past sum
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 regulnr 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 roach Helsman
and President Matheson. Tho details
of the reception havo been In the hands
of General Secretary J. Lambert Nell,
of the Tech Y. M. i\ A., and It has been
planned with an Idea of getting the
new men acquainted with each other
and with the old »tud»nt*. Thl» I* the
flr*t »t«|> toward Increasing and mak
ing pleasant the aoelnl life of the
school, something which ha* to a cer
tain extent been lacking In past years.

The scurry for places on the park

a surprise. * ,
If* like this;
Last June council very quietly pass
ed un ordinance, which provided that
the park commission shall be made up
of the mayor and chairman of the com
mittee on parks, each ex-oflicio, and
six other commissioner* to bo elected
by the general council at Its last meet
ing In 1908 as follows; Two to serve
for one year, two to serve for two
years snd two for three years; at the
end or these respective terms Ihslr
successors shall be elected for a full
term of three years each.
The ordinance, which sort of,sllpped
through without attracting any atten
tlon or publicity, was Important Inas
much as. It deprived the mayor of ap
pointing the board and piactlcally put
It all in the handa of the present copn
ell.
It Is now understood that several
members of the present council aro
candidates for the park board. It Is
said that Councllmen Oldknow and
Wlklo, both of whom retlro this year,
are In the race.
Now here la where the surprise
comes In:
There Is a movemkit on foot to ab
rogate this new- ordinance and restore
the appointive power of the mayor,
amending the original ordinance as to
provide for one commissioner from
each ward.
The polities behind It?
There surely must havo been some,
for there seemed last June no noces
slty for a change. And then It was
kept mighty quiet. And then It was
regarded as a cinch that Chief Joyntr
would bo elected mayor.
The ordlnanco was Introduced by
Alderman Holland and Councilman
Choscwood, passed by council June 4,
and.approved by Mayor Woodward
June 7.

This is an age of changes—old methods

SEVEN CANDIDATES
DID NOT EILE THEIR
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
Spet-lnl to The fieorfftfin.
Montgomery. Ala., Sept. 28.—Will
there be any prosecution of the seven
candidates for state office who failed
to comply with the law by filing with
the secretary of state within thirty
days after the primary, a certified
statement of their expenses during the
campaign? Many are asking this
question.
W. M. fieldon and John B. Ward,
candidates for commissioner of agri
culture. W, A. Skeggs, Jr., candidate
for associate railroad commissioner.
W. K. Sorsby candidate for secretary
of state, C. A. Allen, candidate for
treasurer, Jesse F. Stallings and Johv
B. Knox, candidates for alternate sen
ator, failed to file their statement*.
Under the law these candidates are
subject to a fine of not less than $100
nor more* than $1,000. However, the
law does not make Lt the duty of any
one and It Is not likely there will br
any prosecutions unless the gran*’
jury takes the matter up.
GONE FROM GRAVE
Bpeclnl to The Georgian.
Chattanooga. Tenn., Sept. 28.—The
grind Jury hna made some startling
discoveries, It Is stated, concerning tho
manner In which the county's pauper
dead are burled. An Investigation wns
made of the supposed grave of Miss
Grace Norman, the young woman of
Graysvllle, Ga., and a sister-in-law of
W. Van Davis, also ot Graysvllle, Ga.,
who has been Indicted on a serious
charge In connection with the girl's
death. This investigation revealed tha
fact that the gravo .which was said to
have contained tho body of the girl
contained tho body of a dead negro
baby. Above the grave was ptared a
shingle which bore this Inscription:
“Wife of W. V. Davis, died June 30.
1606; burled July 1, 1606." The grand
Jury Insists that they Investigated tha
grave which waa said to have contain
ed the remains of th* girl, and unless
the grand Jury Is mistaken the body
Is not In the paupers' graveyard, nr
then the county sexton who buries pau
pers' remains Is mistaken about the
grave.
