The Negro In the South.

Rev. Marshall w. Taylor, editor of the South
western Christian Advocate, is man with a
rare gift in eloquence and as a speaker is as
great in the pulpit Though not as we'll known)
as Frederick Douglass is upon the platform.
He was born at Lexington, KY, and educated
at Central Tennessee College, Nashville. He
now resides in New Orleans. In conversation
with the Journal reporter. he said: ''The
Methodist Episcopal Church began work in the
South Immediately after the war, and there are
now 225,000 negro members of this
church, and a property of million and
a quarter dollars. The Southern negro is
getting on. He is accommodating property. This
is the period of prosperity in Improvement in
homes among them and in home life. There are
number of large plantations in Louisiana
owned by negroes. T. r. Allaine may be put
down as worth 100000, and Senator Dumas,
who owns sugar plantation, is worth quite as
much. Educational facilities are improving,
and there is a feeling among the whites more
friendly to this education than ever before. /
look upon the defeat of the Blair bill as good
thing for the South. as the people there are just
learning to help themselves, and to show that
they are able to do so when they take the no
ton.
politically the black folks are Republicans,
but they vote the Prohibition ticket. Theirs is
the support the temperance element is getting
IN the South. There is a good outlook for the
negro in the future because of this. He thus
makes common cause with the whites. The Re-
publican party in Louisiana and in Mississippi
should be recognized The time is coming when
the negro will vote, and his vote will be counted
as cast. There is no violence now-simply a
quiet and effective counting out of his vote. If
the Republican party will show more courage
and stamina, South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana could be carried. The temperance
question plays no part of importance in any cleo
ton. The Democrats always vote the Demo
cratic ticket when the election of anybody is in
volved, and the Republicans do the same. The
prohibition movement in the South. as you I'M
derstand, is very different from what it is here,
and is not third party movement at ALL"

dentials OF Noah c. Mclean, which was pending
at the conclusion of the morning session,

usages of the society, rather than doctrinal mat
ters, the subject was referred to a special com
mlttee, to report to the next session of the meet
ing. Reports executive committees on Bible
schools were then heard. The reports showed
the condition of the schools, with few excep-
tons, to be in prosperous and growing cond-
ton: The meeting then adjourned. There Will

Sunday-Schools of the Methodist Church.
Rev. A. FL. Gillett, of Cincinnati, secretary of
the Sunday school Union of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, spoke last night at Roberts Park
Church, at the anniversary Of the union, giving
the general work of the society. He gave fig
ures showing the progress Of the work During
the past year the Sunday schools increased to
% 400, with 6,O54 officers and teachers 1873 032
pupils, and &C. S68 conversions. The number of
volumes in libraries reached 1907, $50. There
are 431 schools in foreign missions, with total
membership of 81. 237. The total membership of
home missions is $4,000, aud includes Norwe-
gians, Swedes and Germans in this country.
He said: 1--WE have in the South little over
400 600 members There are liz, 800 colored
members in Sunday schools. Our work among
the freedmen is along two lines: First to teach
them how to make proper use of the Sunday
school and the requisites for Sunday school
work, and. in the second place, to help
tnem IN the organization or local cnurcnes. we
also teach them. as far as we can, the moralities
of Christianity. During the two years past
three extensive missionary tours have been made
through Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas
and Mississippi. In these over three
hundred different meetings were held,
principally among the coiored people, and
about 1000 conversions were realized. While
among the colored people there is great improve
ment seen in the fact that they already possess
800 000 900 in taxable property in the South. and
filling positions of responsibility and trust in
the local and general government, the fact re-
mains that the great bulk of them are in the
grossest ignorance and in the deepest poverty.
In the plantation regions of Louisiana they wor-
ship in arbors, while in the rice regions of South
Carolina they have not even such covering as an
arbor affords.
''They are almost destitute of books and appli-
ances for the proper conduct of Sunday schools,
and this lack we are endeavoring to supply.
During the last year about 800 schools were
aided by donations of books and papers from the
repositories in New York, Chicago and Cincin-
natl, while so. 600 volumes of secondhand books
were distributed through agents in Cincinnati"
The speaker announced that Good Tidings
Day" when the collection would be taken up to
furnish literature to the Sunday schools in the
South, would be the third Sunday in October.
