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*.

The scurry for places on the park commission just now Is attracting the most attention, and behind It all He* 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.

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.
