Negro in late years, he pointed out the
difference existing between the indus
trial condition of the Negro at the end
of the war and at the present time.
Bishop NJ 3. Salter. of ChaEles ton,
8. c., was next called upon to speak.
He spoke Of the treatment of the Ne
gr0es throughout the South, and de-
scribed the system Of payment to the
eOlOred help on the plantations. He
said that the great majority of planters
paid the Negroes by tickets or checks,
for which they could procure goods
from stores owned by the planters. La
this way the Negro got no actual money
and was forced TO trade with the store
Of the planter hiring hlm. Bishop Salter
very clearly showed that the Negro,
when given the opportunity, made as
good workman IN factory as a white
man. He cited the existence Of cotton
factory in South Carolina, IN which only
Negroes were EN- ployed, and OF another
owned and worked by Negroes, also in
South Carolina. In both cases, he said,
the work accomplished by the Negroes
was of as high class as that done IN
any factory run by white men.
Bishop W. B. Derrick, of Jackson.
Miss, then made few Iemarks in re.
gard to the value Of the Negro to the
industrial life Of the South. He gave
some excellent practical testimony
on the needs OF the Negroes in tie ex
treme southern states. He said that one
bad feature was the lack of reform
schools in these states. The young
malefactors, he said, were sent to iails
and penitentiaries, where they as.
socisted with the worst forms of criui'
nails, and when released they came out
into the world experienced and incor.
rigIble thieves and murderers. II re.
form schools, similar to those of the
northern states, could be established.
he said, much Of the crime and cor.
ruption among the southern Negroes
would be prevented The Bishops were
thanked for their testimony and the
commission adjourned. 1t was felt that
much good would grow out of the candid
presentation of facts concerning the
race, and that the commission was
thoroughly impressed with the con.
viction that upon the Negroes we'll

mans prosperity depended.
