A letter received by Mrs. Henry Cutler
from James Hall, under the date OF Jan.
Is, written 'FRONT.' Montgomery, Ala, says:
sWhen about twenty-five miles from No.
Carolina we babe adieu to snow and sleet,
but mud was seen in towns, which was
more formidable than the snow banks in
Vermont. The winter since the middle of
December has been very rainy one. The
streams are swollen and in many places
out of their banks. l arrived in Atlanta
at 4 :55 p. NJ, in hard rain. When I left
the next morning at 5:25 it was still rain
ing That night reached West Point Ga.
In many of the towns cotton mills are
running, with two gangs of opera tives
NOR
each month. I visited Tuskegee, Ala,
which is very much of a darkey town.
Booker T. Washington land Colored
Normal Industrial schools are sit
uated here. Twelve hundred young
gentlemen and ladies are climb
ing the rigid hill of silence at these schools.
They are here taught all the trades and the
institution owns twentyfour hundred
acres of land, that is cultivated to crops
grown in this country. They have cream
cry where butter making is taught. A
professor black as night instructs the
students in agriculture in ali its branches
and botany ten finesse.'' The dusky dam
sells are taught dress making, millinery,
cooking, sewing and all the arts pertain
ing to housekeeping. They have a large
brick church, with seating capacity of
two thousand. The students were all
very polite to me, either doffing their hats
OR giving me the hand wherever l met
them. They enjoy to have white people
visit their schools and inspect their insti
buttons. Mr.. Washington was away at
the time of my visit. He travels orth
raising funds to endoW and pay the ex-
penses of the institution. They disburse
from $75,O00 to $50, 900 yearly for expenses.
1 was told that Tus kegee was benefited
largely by this Institution. Pres. McKin-
ley visited the town last December. On
Sunday availed myself of the privilege
of hearing DR.. j. B. Hawthorne, who is
styled the 'Talmage of the SOUTH His
text was CHARITY the greatest of virtues
He said in part ''there is more of the spirit
of Christ abroad in our land to-day than
than ever before. The republic of Ameri-
ca was the first nation to refute the answer
of Cain Am / my brothers keeper and
act the Good Samaritan by going among
among Spanish thieves and hurting them
from the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. He did not support the
eletion Of mckinley but as a minister of
the gospel thanked God that the American
people had called him to the presidential
chair. His administration was broad, pat
riotic and eIninently Christian. He re-
ferred to President McKinley's visit to the
South and to his touching language when
he said that the time had come for God to
save for the ashes of the confederate dead
along with those OF the federal fallen; and
to his kindness in recognizing those who
wore cthe gray by advancing them to
places of responsibility. Our country is
united never again to be disturbed by dis
sention among our people, and he was
willing to trust President McKinley's wis
dom to guide our future destiny.'' For a
minister to have said as much in the pull
pit one year ago, would have caused much
trouble and perhaps he would have been
run out of the city. Montgomery has al
ways been a strong Southern city and was
the first capital Of the Southern Confeder-
acy.
