Mrs. Gielow Writes of Mountain
Whites and Home Missions
■ About twenty-five yeare ago the Wo
man's Home Missionary Society of the
M. E. Church was organised and
brought Into existence for the purpose
of bettering the religious and educa
tional conditions of the emancipated
slaves of the South. With but a small
beginning this organisation has not
onfy established many schools for ne
gro girls In every state In the Union,
but has extsnded Its Christianising aid
Into many foreign lands, and last, hut
not least, now supports and operates
four schools for the white, girls of the
mountain districts of the South: The
Rltta Home at Athens, Tenn., the
Bennett Home at Clarkson, Miss., the
Mitchell Home In Cedar Vatley, N. C„
and the Rebecca McCluskey Home In
Boas, Ala.
The drat mission In the Southern
mountains was established, however, by
the Presbyterian board at Asheville, N.
C., twenty years ago, and through the
efforts of these untiring workers for
humanity It 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 || schools established. With 18
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 cov
ered by the Appalachian region extends
from West Virginia throughout the
Southern states to Alabama. It Is esti
mated to contain nearly three million
people—one-half of which live In the
high and Inaccessible mountain tops of
this wonderful and beautiful range, and
because of their remoteness are cut off
almost entirely from the progress of
civilisation. One-half million of these
highlanders are located In the moun
tains of Western North Carolina, where
It la said that the public schools "have
always been.” though of "low grade
and short duration,” and that they
nave not been "uplifting to the people
concerned." Certainly the grade m«st
have been exceedingly "low” not to
have had more encouraging results, and
it seems very evident that much mis
sionary work la needed where "the
Public schools have.failed to Inspire and
uplift." in reply to the question "What
more do they need?" I would say *8
more missions, and a better grade nnd
longer system of public and Industrial
schools.
Jforth Carolina Is a grand old com
monwealth. She. can proudly boast of
"«r many cultured, men and women,
and she Is struggling bravely with the
problems that have fallen to her ami to
her sister states. Bhe has lately added
1 two-mllllon 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 1(00 more than doubled the numbei
of the combined white population of
her sixteen largest cities. (See Twelfth
Census of the United States, volume 1,
page IS.)
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 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 organiser of the
Woman's Home Missionary Society,
“the Hied 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 bo 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
lic”—are needed, go visit these In
accessible districts, where the lone
mleslon 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 realise the pitia
ble condition of these people." A very
good Idea of what work Is being done
and of the work that needs to be done
among these highlanders of our South
ern mountains, can be 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 Is 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, and seldom fall to re
ceive It was In New York I heard a
young deacon from Virginia who was
on his annual solicitation visit to the
metropolis tell of the destitution of and
Ignorance of thousands of the Isolated
ever pervading poverty and Ignorance
of the mountain people he was endeav
oring to uplift.-
I heard a stanch young deacon from
South Carolina speak on the subject
of child slavery In the cotton mills
of that state, 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 fqr aid, that he might
carry the light of the gospel to the
"two hundred nnd fifty thousand chil
dren of Arkansas," who had "never
seen the Inside of a school house nor
heard a sermon."
There (rere missionaries from Ocor
gla and Tennessee, and my heurt
yearned to lay a million at the feet of
the good archdeacon of the Valle t'rucls
school when I heard him talk of the
great work nnd the great need In that
district—where Bishop Horner la 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'a 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 the
Park Avenue hotel, to ask my Inter
est, and to secure aid and help from
tile Southern Industrial Educational
Association—grateful for even the
promise of one scholarship for a boy or
girl—be It for (5« 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. tight, 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 beiong—
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
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 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 and
answers our question. There are 19
per cent of the native born whites of
North Carolina over IS years of age
needing Christian nnd Industrial edu
cation to lit them ror citizenship: 1?
per cent In Louisiana, 13 per cent in
whites tc the mother state, _
In New York 1 heard a worker from; South Carolina, It per cent In Oeor-
en«.minie"e' eoe"»e‘57il7i«-'';„‘‘kl."‘.‘^'heni Kentucky tell by words and show by! gla, nearly 15 per cent 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 In the history
of the Institution. Already the dormi
tories are crowded to their utmost ca
pacity und 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 b?en secured for
this work. Professor Funk Is a grad
uate of..Lehigh University and since
leaving college has taken the full West-
Inghouse apprentice course in the snop
of Wesilnghouse Electrical Company
nt Pittsburg, which is considered one
of the best training schools In the
world for practical engineers. Only
graduates nf technical schools who
show exceptional ability are allowed
to enter for this course, and 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 Di. Matheson bus 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 are
in a position to give the very best of
attention to the men In the various
partments.
With the new 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, and
everywhere Its graduates are recogniz
ed as 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 i
diploma from the Tech Is equal to i
position any day. During the past sum
mer the chemical department has re
celved several requests for men which
they were unable to fill.
On Friday the last of the entrance
examinations will be over, nnd Mon
day morning the regular recitation
work will begin.
Friday night a reception for the new
students has been planned and n num
ber of prominent speakers will address
the students. Including Poach Helsnmn
and President Matheson. The details
of the reception have been In the hands
of General Secretary J. Lambert Nell,
of the Tech Y. M. C. A., and It has been
planned with an Idea of getting the
new men ^acquainted with each other
and with the old students. This is the
first step toward Increasing and mak
ing pleasant the social life of the
school, something which has to a cer-
tuin extent.been lacking In past years,

With the restoration of Atlanta to its

The scurry for places on the park
commission Just now* is attracting the
most attention, and behind It all lies
u surprise.
It’s like this:
Last June 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-officio, and
six other commissioners to be elected
by the general council at Its last meet
ing in 1906 as follows: Two to serve
for one year, two to serve for two
years 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 as It deprived the mayor of up-
pointing the hoard and piactically put
It all in the hands of the present coun
cil. ' \
It Is now understood that several
members of the present council are
candidates for the park board. It Is
said that Councllmen OIdknow and
Wikle, both of whom retire this year,
are In tfje race.
Now here Is where the surprise
comes in:
There is a movem.kit on foot to ah
rogatc this.new ordinance and restore
the appointive power of the mayor, so
amending the original ordinance as to
provide for one commissioner from
each ward.
The politics behind it?
There surely must have been some,
for there 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 b« elected mayor.
The ordinance was introduced by
Alderman Holland and Councilman
Chosewood, passed by council Juns i,
and approved b> Mayor Woodward
June 7.
Don't Cling to
The Old Methods
Advertising may effect a eomplete revo
lution in your px’esent business methods—
but don’t hesitate to employ this mightiest
of modern business forces for that reason.
This is an age of changes—old methods
are inadequate for present and future
needs. Already the business that does not
advertise is being pushed into the rut and
left by the wayside by those that do.
Anil don’t hesitate because you can’t af
ford to advertise as largely as some other
concern. The biggest advertisers of today
started with very modest appropriations.
Make u start ivith moderate space in this
newspaper—you can’t do better. And get
the Massengaie Advertising Agency, of At
lanta, Ga., to tell you how to use this space
to your best advantage.

SEVEN CANDIDATES
DID NOT FILE THEIR
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
hjMMinl to The Urorglnn.
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. Heldon and John B. Ward,
candidates for commissioner of agrl-
ulture, W. A. Skeggs, Jr., candidate
or associate railroad commissioner,
V. K. Sorsby candidate for secretary
of state, tA. Allen, candidate tor
treasurer, Jesse F. Stallings ami JoliB
B. Knox, candidates for alternate sen
ator, failed to file their statements.
Under the law these candidates are
subject to a fine of rot less than $100
nor more than $1,000. However, the
law does not make It the' duty of uny j
one and It is not likely, there will b$
any prc-wcutfons unless the gran’ I
Jury takes the matter up.
