A few days ago I received a Utter
from a friend and it was post-marked
Pelzer. lie said I was wanted there to
talk to the people, and he ventured to
fix the day and the compensation for
loss of time and waste of tongue. I
had never heard of Pelzer nor could I
find it on my antiquated map. But I
did find it on one of later date, and
supposed it was some small village that
had a cotton mill and a dam t n the
Saluda and some tenement houses.
Nevertheless, 1 accepted the call, for
the oiler was liberal. The next mail
brought a similar invitation from Pied
mont, another mill town, only six miles
jWrom Pelzer.
1 So I journeyed from Atlanta to Green
ville, and there changed cars for my
J fsti nation, which was only 20 miles
away. It was night when I reached
the place. My good friend, Mr. Pad
gett, who is the Democratic postmaster,
. took me to his house. I had not seen
the town, for it was quite dark. "What
is the prospect for an audience?" I
inquired. "Very good," he said. "I
think you will have several hundred
people'out to hear you." "Why, how
large is your town? What is your popu
lation ?" "About 7.000," he said. I
was amazed. A town twice as large as
Cartersville and 1 never heard of it and
it is not on my map. He explained by
saying that it was only twelve years
old, and had four large cotton mills
that employed over 2,000 operatives,
. Jfcaud consumed nearly 100,000 bales of
"cotton, and the company owned some
3,000 acres of land, -and all the houses
and stores and churches and several
miles of the river. "Did you advertise
me pretty well?" I asked. "Oh, yes!"
he said. ''Wo church folkfl told it to
everybody we met, both in the town
and in the country, and they all said
they were coming." "Publish it in the
papers?" said 1." "No, no. We have
no papers here, and no printing office.
We did not even have a poster or a
hand bill but we talked it a good deal."
Well, I listened and wondered, and my
confidence was shaken. After a bounti
ful supper and a little mixing up with
the children, we went to the large
church where I was to hold forth, and
' : found it already pretty well filled. In
a brief time I stood before more than
500 people, and was inspired to make
my best effort, for I had an orderly
and attentive congregation, and we all
fell in love with one another. I never
have had a more gratifying lecture oc
casion. Next morning was spent in
viewing the city audUhe mills aud the
library. The 'merchants carried im
mense stocks in large stores, and there
were many nice residences for the
managers and heads of the various de
, partments, but they were all built and
are owned and leased by the mill com
pany. This company owns and con
trols every foot of land and everything
that is on it. Cantain Smvthe, of
Charleston, is the king, the czar, a big
hearted, brainy man, and everybody
respects and loves him. He is a son
of that celebrated Presbyterian minis
ister of Charleston who during his min
isterial life, was a notable man in relig
ious circles. I rember that he was one
of my father's friends. "Who is your
mayor? ' said I. "We have none; no
mayor nor aldermen, no municipal
corporation, uo marshals nor police.
Captain Smythe runs the town. Every
body who comes here for employment
is investigated carefully. His antece
dents must be good or he can't stay.
We have no lawyers nor editors; don't
need any. V e allow them to come in
and look around." "Did you know that
I was a lawyer?" said I. "Oh, yes;
but we learned that you had quit the
practice and reformed, and so we in
vited you."
"I don't see any negroes about here,"
said I. "No, we don't want them.
There are a few, but they live outside.
Some of them cook and wash for us,
but Captain Smythe don't want us to
mix with them or depend upon them.
He wants everybody to depend upon
themselves as much ns po3sibW "And
so you have ruled out lawyers, editors
and negroes?'' "Yes," said he, "and

nsked. . ''Oh, of course we have doc-
V.ntist and four preachers, all select,
? one photographer." The company
yja good library and pays a man to
.fsited mill No. 4, an up to-date
C'J iu all respects. It is operated by
Hrioity that is generated two miles
)t some falls of the Saluda river,
ynl amazed me. No coal and no
f It is 128 feet wide and 528
and is four stories high. In
t.,Jat room I saw 60,000 spindles
4. In two others there were
glooms. It requires 1,100 opera
; to attend to this mill, and it takes
bak'S of cotton for a year's sup
y Just think of it. The superm
ini, Mr- Guy, had the elevator to
ul) 'lit half way up between Hours
V that I might have a good view of the
ii icniiiery and the busy b ys and girls
.ix this spinning room. This room he
called hid children's room; not the
children's . room, but my children's
room, he said. Scores of little chaps
not more, thn ten years old who look
ed their love for him. They were the
brightest and healthiest children I ever
saw in a mill, and earn from 25 cents
00 cents a day. Many of the grown
girls earn from GO cents to 11.25 a day,
and the average pay of them all is 02
cents. This is good wages, for their
work is easv and healthy. The rooms
are never too hot or too cold; for the
temperature is kept uniform by fans
and heaters in the basement. Nogrea3e
or fatty matterts used on the machin
ery nothiDg but pure mineral oil.
These children are required to leave
the mill at certain periods and go to
their public schools, which are sup
ported by the company, i visited the
school and found 800 of the pupils
gathered in the large room to receive
me and listen to a brief talk about my
old school days and some words of en
couragement to cheer them up. Mr.
Guy the efficient superintendent of mill
No. 4, is an Augusta man, and has
been in the mill service for forty-four
years. In the packing room I observed
that all the bales are marked to Shang
hai, China, and I heard that China is
the best customer of southern mills.
That government used to buy from
New England and old England, but
they buy air their goods by weight and
not by the yard, and in course of time
John Bull and the yankee got to mix
ing white clay with the starch to make
the cloth weigh heavy, and so they
turned their trade down south, where
people didn't adulterate everything
they make to sell. Said Mr. Guy to
me: "There is no sizing in these goods
except that made of pure boiled corn
starch."
Nearly all the capital in these great
mills is from the south; and there's
millions in them, for Piedmont is on
the same river and is only five miles
away aud has two large nulls and an
other is going up at Belton, a few miles
below. In fact, the traveler through
upper Carolina is hardly ever out of
sight of a smokestack. In a few years
that State will consume all the cotton
that is grown in it. What a glorious
prospect.
All around Pelzer and Piedmont the
farmers are prosperous ; for they have
a regular, eager market for everything
they grow, and I saw their wagons
coming in on every road. I visited
Piedmont and stayed a day and night.
It is a duplicate of Pelzer, though not
so large; having about 5,000 people. It
is most efficiently managed by Mr.
James Orr, Jr.. a son of the governor
and statesmau. lie, too, is a king and
a czar, and his word is law about every
thing. He is respected and loved by
every man, woman and child in Pied
mont; and the stockholders have noth
ing to do but look on and receive their
dividends semi-annually. Piedmont is
more elevated than Pelzer, and the
views from her hills are charming.
And then her flowers; oh, the beauty
of them. Out-door chrysauthemums
and roses were in all their glory. Mrs.
Richardson sent my wife a box full by
yesterday's express that excelled auy
tbing that I ever saw in a conservatory.
She gave a caution to the expressman
in these lines on the box:
"If you desire to climb the golden stair,
Handle these flowers witli exceeding cure.
If you expect to play the golden harp,
Speed them with safety to Mistress Arp."
The lyceum and public library at
Piedmont is an interesting place to
visit and is liberally patronized by the
workers in the mills. Counected with
it is a home made insurance or benefit
association, a kind of savings bank
where for a deposit of ten cents a week
the family of the depositor gets forty
dollars whenever a death occurs. This
is of course to provide for funeral ex
penses and a decent burial. In this
library is the finest collection of Indian
relics I ever saw anywhere.
Fortunate people to have such phi
lanthropic guardians. Old FatherPel
zer does not live there, but he is near
enough to keen a fatherly eye on these
numerous children. He is a Charles
ton millionaire, but lives at his up
country home, not for from the beauti
ful Mill Citv that he founded and
which bears his name. Just think of
it, my Georgia friends; 00,000 spindles
turning in one room, and 1.400 looms
weaving inhvo others, Why should
not every cotton growing courty in
Georgia, "yea, in South Carolina, do
likewise. Our county produces ten
thousand bales annually and surely our
farmers can build a mill large enough
to manufacture it and double its value.

"All right, sir. Will I tell them you're

"No, John; that would be a lie."
"An' what'U I say, yer reverence?"

At supper John was asked if any one

"Yes, there did," he said.

"I gaye him an evasive answer."

EDUCATIOJI OF TI1K KKtiKO IN TIIK
SOUTH.
Haiti more Sun
A case which was argued in the Su
preme Court of the United Stales on
Monday involves a most interesting and
important point namely, whether the
State of Georgia must provide equal
school facilities for whites and blacks.
The Board of Education of Augusta, it
appears, is about to establish a high
school for white children in that city.
A number of colored residents have
taken the matter to the courts, asking
that an order be issued either compelling
the Board of Education to give colored
childre l the advantages of a public high
school or to refrain from carrying on
white high schools for the support of
which the petitioners are taxed. The
case inyolves the construction of the
Federal Constitution, and in some
measure the right of Federal courts to
determine how money collected by the
several States by taxation shall be
expended.
Those who are not familiar with con
dition in the South might infer from
the suit instituted by the colored people
of Augusta thet they are the victims of
unjust discrimination and do not receive
a fair share of the school funds of the
State or city. Tnis is highly improbable.
If the colored taxpayers of the South
were to have the bentfit of all the
money they pay into the State, county
aud muuicipal treasuries, the entire
amount would not, it is likely, give
them the school facilities which they
need and now enjoy. Unless Georgia
is unlike every other Southern State,
the whites practically pay all the ex
penses of the State government aud the
cost of maintaining th"e schools aud
aeylums. In Virgina a few years ago
it was estimated that colored taxpayers
contributed less than 10 per cent, of the
sum required to defray the annual ex
penses of the State government. The
propottion may be slightly higher in
Georgia than in Virginia, but there can
be no question of the fact that iu
Georgia, as in Virgiuia, there would be
few schools of any kind if the taxes
paid by the whites were in the same
proportion as those paid by the negroes.
The generosity of the southern white
people in providing educational facilities
for the negroes is worthy oft he highest
commeudatiou. It is not sufficient to
say that it was their duty to do what
they have clone. If they had pursued
a different course under the conditions
which prevailed after the Civil War,
they could not have been censured very
severely, for their property had been
destroyed and many of them were al
most penniless and unable to provide
properly for the educational needs of
their own children, much less the needs
( f the, children of their former slaves.
It is greatly to their credit that, under
such trying circumstances, they did not
discriminate against the negro, but
allowed his children to have a share of
school uuds which were derived almost
entirely from taxes paid by the whites.
Th;s fact 6hould not be overlooked, in
view of the proceedings instituted by
the colored people of Augusta pro
ceedings whi.h might produce a mis
leading impression upon the minds of
those not familiar with the facts.
In several Southern States movements
have been inaugurated from time to
time to devote the taxes p.iid by whites
exclusively to the education of white
children and to give to the negroes for
the education of their children such
sums a3 they might pay into the State
treasury in the form of taxes. If such
a plan had been adopted, the Southern
negroes would have had yery few
schools, while the educational facilities
provided for the whites would have been
materially increased and improved.
Although there might have been justi
fication for such a division of the
school funds, the suggestion was never
favored by a majority of the white tax
payers in any Southern State, regardless
of "the legality of such a division. They
have continued to educate the negroes
at their own expense and at the expense
of white children, never stopping to
iaquire whether the results justified the
expenditure, although at times they
may have had serious doubts on the
subject. If they had taken the attitude
now assumed by the colored people of
Augusta, or had divided the school
funds in proportion to the taxes paid bl
the representatives of each race, tney
would have had more and better schools
for white children. If they had ob
jected to taxation the object of which is
the support of colored school, the negro
would be in a very bad way as far as his
opportunities for getting an education
are concerned. It is possible the Su
preme Court of the United States may
decide that there shall be no white high
schools unless institutions of a similiar
character are provided for col-red pupils.
But such a yictory in the courts would
be really a misfortune for the colored
people of the South. It would inevitably
provoke comparisons between the
amount of taxes paid respectively by
the negroes and the whitee, and the
latter might be compelled, in their own
defense, to regulate expenditures ac
cording to the proportion in which each
race contributes to the maintenance of
the schools. In that event the negro
would not find the school facilities for
his children as liberal as they are under
present conditions in the States of the
South.

We have never heard of a more ter
rible tragedy than that which took
place on the 20th ult. in Leake county,
Miss. A respectable farmer named
John Gambrell, living at a considerable
distance from any neighbor, went to the
adjacent town of Canton to sell his cot
ton. When he returned he discovered
that his house had been burned to the
ground, and that the charred bones of
the fiye members of his family were in
the smoking ruins. As a matter of
course the whole community became
grought up over the occurrence. Sus
picion fell upon a negro named Joe Le
Flore, who, on being arrested, confessed
that he had murdered Mrs. Gambrell
and her children, and had then set fire
to the house to conceal his crime. He
also implicated two or three. other per
sons in his crime. Without the least
delay he was fastened to a stake, a heap
of fagots was piled about him, and he
was literally roafted to drath. The per
sons whom he asserted to be particeps
crimiuis were all arrested. One of
them, however, proved an alibi by a
respetcable white citizen, and was
turned loose. The rest are held till it
can be determined whether they are
really guilty. If it should be proven
that they had any connection with the
murder it is certain that they will be
speedily put to death, without the inter
vention of judge or jury. The corres
pondent of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, who is on the ground, and has
carefully studied the situation, says:
"The temper of the people is peculiar.
Tney are not excited and bent on killing
for the love of slaughter, nor do they
seek to wreak vengeance on negroes.
They are aroused as they never were be
fore. They know that while one of the"
best citizens was away from his wife and
children that his home was entered,
and that ruthless murder was done.
The horror of it is beyond comprehen
sion. Gambrell has no enemies; he is
a quiet farmer, having a small farm,
and so far as goes in this county is pros
perous. He had about two huudred
dollars in the house, and when he lefi
he had no idea that this would excite
the cupidity of men to the point that
to obtain it they would murder five per
persons, burn them, aud risk the
chances of capture and death. It is
now a fight in self-defense The coun
try is sparsely settled, and the people
feel that unless the quintuple tragedy is
avenged fully, that every man who di
rectly or remotely is concerned in it is
runted down and made to suffer the
tortures of a slow death coming in the
most excruciating form, he who next
may leve wile and loved ones will have
no reason to hope that they may not
die as did the wife and children of John
Gambrell. Throughout the South,
away from cities, every man is truly
lord of his own castle. He must pro
tect his own home from the ruthless
murderer. The sheriff in the county
does not prevent crime in the way that
be and his deputies patrol the county.
Me comes into evidence only after the
act. Hence it is that such pos3es as
are now in Leake county are moving in
self-defense. They hope to strike such
a blow that will stand as an awful warn
ing to any wretch who, driven by cu
pidity or lust, seeks to gratify either
even if he must commit murder." Our
readers know with what vigor and earn
estness we have denounced all the forms
of mob law. But. what shall we say in
a case of this kind? That the law ought
to take its course is certain. But who
can wonder that its operation' should be
suspended under such circumstances?
Let any mau ask himself w hat he would
do if his family had been dealt with as
John Gambrell's was. The recurrence
of such events as this sicken us to the
heart, and almost cause us to lose hope.
Bat we still insist that no action of any
bad negro or cf any number of bad ne
groes is an excuse for indiscriminate
hostility toward the negroes as a race.
Hundreds of thousands of them are
harmless and useful citizens, and de
serve to be protected in all their rights.

Their place had been closed January
last by order of the civil governor, be

N. C. Christian Advocate.
The Advocate has no sympathy with
carping critics, nor with those who for
selfish or political purposes seize upon
every mistake on the part of men in
authority to heap a tirade of abuse on
their heads or write bitt r things against
them. But there are times when the
most const rvative and patient must
speak out.
We have not felt catted upon hereto
fore to speak of the humiliating, net to
say disgraceful, things developed in the
management of the convicts in our State
prison and the farms connected with it.
B it recent investigation by the commit
tee appointed by the last Legislature
have brought to light a condition of
affairs that is to us painful in the ex
treme. If the evidence reported by the
daily papers, and notably by the Raleigh
News and Observer, is true, then there
is an immediate and imperative demand
for a revision of our whole system of
prison discipline.
That some must be punished all ad
mit that persons who violate the law
must Buffer the penalty. This is neces
sary for the public welfare. That it is
necessary to have prison discipline goes
without saying. But wanton cruelty to
these unfortunate people is a crime
against them, against the public, and a
wrong in the sight of God. Such treat
ment cannot be tolerated by a Christian
people or connived at by a great State.
On the Roanoke farms it is stated
that 50 per cent, of the prisoners are
whipped; at the central prison, Raleigh,
30 per cent. How severely nobody
knows outside the prison walls. The
thud of the whip and the cries of the
sulierer do not reach the outside world ;
they fall on the ears of men like them
selves, who may at any time be sub
jected to the same torture.
There is no inspector of prisons to
make investigation and give informa
ion to the people, and the law does not
limit the number of stripes laid on the
backs of these sufferers. That is left to
the discretion of the official in charge,
and the lash is laid . n until he is satisfied.
The people of North Carolina owe it
to themselves and to humanity to de
mand a radical reform iu the manage
ment of prisoners aud convicts.
Great discretion tugbt to be used in
selecting persons to control our prisons.
It is a mistake to put them in charge of
cold, hard, or cruel men. - Men of the
btst habits, of the highest integrity, and
of the strictest sense of justice and right
should be put in charge.
Even convicts have eome neht and
these rights ought to be rigidly protected.
They are deprived of liberty, they are
denied all the privileges that others
enjoy, they are put to nara, exnausung
labor, surely they are entitled to hu
maue treatment. They should have
plenty of wholesome food, comfortable
clothing, and such - religious privileges
and instruction as will enable them to
understand the plan of salvation and
appropriate the benefits of the Christian
religion.

. The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction has completed the statisti
cal portion of his report for this year.
It shows that the receipts were as fol
lows: State and county poh tax $303,
313; special property tax, under local
acts, $15,781, and poll tax $9,751; fines,
forfeitures, etc., $14,413; liquor licenses
$71,122; other sources $56,275; total
$890,531. The balance on hand last
year was $189,081.
Ihe disbursements were: Jbor white
school teachers $520,415; negroes $210,-
491; Croatan Indians $1,420; white
school houses $42,237; negro school
houses $15,001; county superintendents
$21,175; commissions to county treas
urers $18,441; teachers' institutes 2,
200; boards of education $0,471; city
schools $4G,35G; other purposes $40,744;
total disbursements $930,891; balance
on hand $105,655.. ,
The apportionment to the white
schools is $575, 111, and to negro schools
$220,894. The assessed value of white
property is $240,71.3,000 and of neero
property $8,980,000. There are 181,-
548 white polls and 71,744 negro polls.
The amount acluillv r.aiJ for the
schools by whites is $522,808 and
by
are
are
at-
negroes $71,183.
Of children of school age there.
406,787 whites and of these there
enrolled 203,217. while the average
tendance is 140,162. Of negro children
there are 199,000, of whorn 127,399 are
enrolled, and the average attendance i?
07,148.
The average salary of white teachers
is males $26 33 per month, females
23.05. of negro teachers males $22.53,
females $19 70. The average length of
school terms is for whites a trifle over
fourteen weeks aad for negroes a little
under thirteen weeks. There yet re
main 715 log school houses in the
State.
it thus appears that of the white
children 7-20 or a very little oyer one
third, attend school, while of the ne
groes almost precisely one-third attend.
Taking the polls as a basis the average
wealth of a white man is $1,359, and of
a negro $126. The negroes pay almost
$1 each for schools; again taking the
polls as a basis the whites pay $607,000
for schools, the negroes pay $71,183. In
othtr words the negroes pay about one
seventh, w hile they are in proportion to
the whites according to polls, as 7 is to
