FOR BETTER ROADS.LABOR UNIONS AND AUTOMOBILE,

MANUFACTURERS JOIN HANDS.

The Use of Prison Labor In DaildingPublie Highwaym - A Labor Lead- -

er's Plan For the Employment ofConvicts In This Work.

Tile convention of American road-makers which met in Detroit was re-markable in tills respect, that Mr.George Burns, the great labor leaderand president of the Michigan Laborunion, advocated the use of prisonlabor either \ln building roads or inpreparing material to be'used for hard-ening their surfaces. le Is the firstgreat labor leade' to advocate thiscourse, although it has been suggestedby many speakers and writers on thisquestion during the past ten years. Mr.Burns sees that it would be clearly inthe interest of such prison labor andalso in the interest of free labor tohave the great army of prisoners nowin the jails In the various states whoare doing no good for themselves andadding nothing; to the common wealthapplied to ty1 road proposition in someformi G,'y"IdraMany people object to a suggestion

of this kind because they say that theuse of such labor for such a purposewould have a contaminating influencein the community where the work isdone. But to avoid such a result Mr.Burns showed that this labor could beapplied in the preparation of material,either brick or broken stohe, where tlyeprisoners could be worked in inclo-sures as they now are. The productsso produced would not-come in contactwith free labor as the articles general-ly produced by such labor do. Conse-quently by this course you avoid com-petition with the manufacturer whooffers for sale the manufactured arti-cle or conipetitioin with the free labor-er who works to produce these articles,and at the same time the prisoner isteceiving more useful instruction, hav-ins healthful exercise and addinggi in the course of years to theco wealth. If Mr. Burns' idea,

soupd---mid-wvholesome on iould be adopted bythe labor unions of this countvy gener-ally, it would bring to the road causegreat aid. %

The great meeting of the automobilemanufacturers of America held in Chi-cago soon after this Detroit conventiondeveloped the fact that all of the auto-mobile manufacturers of America areheartily in favor of some general planof road building that shall be applica-ble to all the states in the Union. Be-inlg unanimous ini tIls view, theyadopted a resolution indorsing the pas-sage .of tihe Brownlow bill, which pro-vides for a system of nlationlal, stateand local co-operation iln tihe perma-nenit improvemenlt of thle pulblic high-ways. It is very evident from the logicof evenlts thlat the time is rapidly ap-preaching whlenl tihe friends of the goodroads cause will be able to unite manyforces in favor of tile general plan ofroad improvemuent thtat hlave hlithertobeen eiher indifferenit or hostile.

Thie labor leaders generally havebeen hlostilo to the idea of applying theprison labor to tis work, but no0w oneof tihe most progressive leaders of or-ganized labor hlas comle forward andindorsed in tile most hearty amnd intelli-gent way the idea of applying tis Ia-

i bor to tile general welfare of the comn-mniity by building up thle public roads.Iln order, however, thlat this shall bemade possIble thle road building au-thorities in thle various states andcounties must be provided with neces-sary funds in order to obtain propermnachlinery, enginieering skill an~d eX-pert labor so as to make use of thearmy of prisoners who would be put attheir disposal under tile now plan.

Iorder to seemy this necessary fundaid igee &ubre evident that tile,

adotenational governmenC~t shlouldbe caijed in to supply a portion of tilemone . This l's all provided for by tileBlrow low bill, whlich was not only in-dorsd by the Chicago convention, butalso by the Detroit convention ofAmerican roadmakers. Every conven-tion mlet to consider tis qulestionl sincetihe Brownlow bill was inttroduced incongress has1 in..sed tile bill anidurged its passage. -Hion. Martin Dodge.

REMINISCENThe members 6f this association

are known as Misei nary Baptists,but from the records their effortewere never very great nor theitoperations. very extensive. Wetrust that the small beginning mayhave a layge ending, that the seedplanted by our fathers may -nulti-ply one hundred fold and more.The first mention of. Missions wasin 1847 when a resolution was

passed to organize a Home MissiolBoard, the duty of which "shall b(to employ a: minister or ministerto preach the gospel in such field'as they shall designate, having firslin view the more destitute pqrtionEof this association.'' The Boardwas not appointed and no furthei-mention is. made of Missionarywork until 1853 when a report waE

made showing that the Board hadreceived $39.00, and they with thatinoney employed five differentbrethren who performed fifty-fivedays work (preaching,) and was

paid fifty cents per day. Theseefforts continued at intervals;iometimes Missionary work wouldbe done and then again there wouldbe years elapse and nothing done.[In all this time nothing was saidand no efforts made to send thegospel beyond the bounds of theassociation. In 1875 a great Mis-sionary rally took place at Cathey'sCreek church in North Carolina,for it was there the assooiation heldits meeting that year. I say "greatVbecause it was the longest steptaken by the association during itsexistence for the spread of thegospel. And I surmise that Rev.A. W. Lamar had a great deal toJo with infusing such zeal into thebrethren. At that meeting theissociation decided to aid State,Rome and Foreign Missions and.hey appointed committees to lookifter and report upon these inter-ists. The first year after this themm of $94.95 was raised for Statedfissions which shows that theipirit which took hold of them at3athey's Creek had not diminished.The association has never done

what she could do along this line,indeed I do not believe that shehas done one-tenth of what shecould or should do, for besidesbeing the largest denromina-tion in the county, they are thewealthiest. But in the early yearsthere was opposition to Missiona~rywork, indeed there were membersof the churches who did not believein supporting the pastors. Theywere in this sense hardshells anid itwas a great draw back to the Causeof Christ. And I am ashamed tosay that we have some among ustoday who believe the same way,because there are many who doniot contribute from one end of the

year to the next one cent for anypurpose. And if we take the re,ports of the churches a large peroentage of the members do not be-lieve in supporting the pastors orcontributing to Missions. Christiansaan have their honest differences asto methods of work, but this shouldnot lessen our interest in the causeof Missions. While we are wrang,ling over methods and plans soulsare going into eternity unsaved,and their blood will be required atour hands. The watch word andgreat cry of- this year should beMissions. No matter how yousend the money so it gets there.Another important matter the

Baptists of this section-was a littleslow in-education. They havemanifested some interest alongthis line, hut have been and arenow in some respects behind thieirbrethren of other -sections ot theState. The first effort to establisha denominational school was in1884, when the Tuokaseige Asso-ciation sent a delegation to this

association requesting that the

two bodies meot together by their

representatives "in connsel to con-

sult upon the propriety or impro-

priety of establishing a literaryschool." fhe request was notgranted, for what reason is notknown.. Nothing more was donealong this line until 1875 when themembers ifecame so much inter-ested in the cause of Missions atCathey's Creek church as above re-lated, when among the many reso-lutions that passed the Executive

Committee was authorized "to de-

vise somos plan by which a good

Baptist High School may be ,established in our bounds for "the

eduo ition of our sons and daurgh.

This committee reported tyneit sainn. ta~ht teare wa..6...re

CES- of the Twelve Mile RiverBaptist Association.....need- of more education u thebounds of the association and re-

ferred the matter to the churcheswith a request that they reporttheir views on the subject to thenext session. And this was theend of the matter until 1888 Whea.an effort was made by this and thePiedmont Association to purchasethe Piedmont Institute located atPickens for school purposes. Agood deal of money was subscribedfor this purpose but not enoughto meet the demands and the pro-ject failed. The 'last effort madewas last year when the trustees ofthe North Greenville High Schooloffered to allow us an.-interest inthat property if we would build a

dormitory. This also was rejected.In their failure to buy the prop,orty at Pickens the Baptiats of thiscounty lost one of the greatest op.portunities of their lives. We area great people in many respects,but the old time worn volume ofininutes show that we are especi-illy noted for passing resolutions.If resolutions can make a peoplegreat or wealthy then the Baptistsof this county are at the head ofthe list.The "Circular Letter''vas from

the beginning and is today a greatfeature, and a very interesting one,of the proceedings of the body.This "letter" would be prepared bya brother appointed at the previoussession and would be a dissertationul'on some religious subject. Thereare several printed in the minutesupon the subject of "'Church Dis-cipline." The brethren in the'earlyyears seems to have been muchconcerned about discipline. Theywere more careful of the conductand strict in dealing with disor-derly brethren than we are today.And I believe if the churches hadcontinued the practices of theirfathers along this line and beenmore strict in receiving membersinto the churches,:the standard ofchurch membership and of religionwould have been much higher thanit is. Don't all say Amen at oncel

There have been various dffortsto divide the association, the firstof these was at the session of 1874,when, in pursuance of a resolutiona meeting was appointed to beheld at Salem church on Saturdaybefore the fifth Sunday in Novem-ber of the same year, for the pur-pose of holding a consultation withregard to forming a new associa-tion. Nothing ever camne of thismovement. In 1878 George's Creek,Mount Carmel, Mount Pisgah,Mount Tabor, Beaver Dam, Enon,Flat Rock, Mountain Springs, Ens-Icy, Filoamn and ILberty asked forletters of dismnission for the pur,=pose of organizing the Piedmont;and after they had been grantedsuch letters, Capt. J. A. Griffin of.fered the following resolutionwvhich wvas adopted: "Resolved,That we, the Twelve Mile RiverBaptist Association, wivxle regret-ting that they see fit to absolvetheir connection from us, herebytender them our sincere prayers fortheir future happiness and prosper-ity in their new organization, hop..ing and believing that our irropar-able loss wvill be their spiritnalgain." And no doubt the Pied-mont has accomphished more in itsnow relation than it would, hadit remained with us.

Sirece the Piedmont was organ-ized there still remained a feelirngthat the Twelve Mile was too large,that it could do more effective workin two bodies than one, and fromtime to time the question wastalked of and agitated, but not un-til last year did it moterialize,Then it was that four churches-Pickens, Mountain Grove, Peter'sCreek and Oolenioy drew cut andformed the Pickens Association.The brethren of the new organizia-tion believe that it was the rightstep to take, that the baby associa-tion will do as much as the old hasbeen doing; if so, it will be a bless-ing. They are very few in numbersnow, but hope for other churchesto unite with them from the TwelveMile, Piedmont and North Green,ville Associations.Much more could be written

about the Twelve Mile and her off-springs, but for fear your readerswill tire, and with my apologiesfor taking tip so much of yourspace with matters and thihgs thatconcern one sm ill ,baud of chris-tians, and with apoio les to thereading public for the treespasenonthem and their time, -and for th~eimperfectness of the matter writ-ten, I write Fline. ,A BAPTrST.p ([The End]

ABOLSH RURAL ROUTES.Hundreds Estabtished by Machen tol'Iease

Members of Congrels.

The investigation made byFourth Assistant Postmaster Gen-eral Bristow of the affaira of thefree delivery division, formerlyconducted by Superintendent Ma-Cben, who was summarily dismissedand arrested on a charge of hrib-ery just a week ago, has resultedin the discovery that in order torestore the service to a proper stateit will be nocessary to abolish one-third of the rural free delivoryroutes now in operation in thesouthern states and about one-fifth of those established in thenorthern states.

'The investigation shows thatroutes have been established with-out any possible excuse save as a

matter of -favor to membPra ofCongress, and that money appro-priated by Congress for this pur-pose has been expended with al-most criminal extravagance. ,Onmany of these routes the receiptsdo not average $5 a month, andon others the receipts do notbegin to justify the existence ofthe routes.The southern states which will

suffer the most from the aboli4h-mont of the routes are South Car-olina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississ-ippi and Ala. In the North Maine,Vermont and New Hampshire willbe deprived of about one-fifth ofthe routes now in operation. Oth.er northern and eastern states willlose routes but in smaller. propor- 4tion. But fow changes will bemade in New York state.Postmaster General Payne said

this afternoon that no acti.>n.would be taken to reduce the num-ber of rural routes until a full test thas been made (if each individual

aseand the results noted. Then t

whatever routes are found unwar-ranted will be discontinued. Atpresent he declined to make an es-'imate as to the probable numberf these routes.

annullment of all trains on thisroad for at least seven days, asthe authorities say it will be im-possible to clear the track beforethat time.

It is also given out that anothercrack is seen in the mountai-i justin the rear of the cliff from whichFriday's avalanche descended, andit'is predicted that another tumbleot'earth and rock will occur, inwhich event the railroad peoplesay that it will be at least twelvcdays before the running of throughtrains can be resumed.The train from Asheville for
