(By Gov. w. o. Bradley, of XVI
Judge Durham had great power among
the masses. He had a way of impressing
the truth of what he said beyond any
public man I have ever known. 1 have
frequently thought that he had face like
an affidavit with a notarial seal in the
lower left hand corner.
While the judge has always been an ex-
cellent man, now and then in discussing
the tariff, he grew very extravagant, a
failing quite common with Democratic
speakers in 1872.
At Wade's Cross Road, in Russell coun-
ty, was gathered a crowd of probably
three hundred. Among them was an old
gentleman by the name Of Hill. He was
a well-to-do farmer for that locality, and
ordinarily a quiet man. He listened with
the utmost attention to the judge while
he TO how the poor, farmer was robbed.
The tears stood in the old mans eyes as
the judge drew a picture of his condition.
''ldr. Hill, that suit of jeans you have on
cost you $10," said the judge. But did
you know, sir, that the wool in its is tax
ed by this internal tariff 200 per cent. and
that the buttons on it are taxed 100 per
cent, that the thread in it is taxed so per
cent, the Innings are taxed ITO per cent.
the cotton batting is taxed 60 per cent?
BY this time even the amiable and able

he thought it the highest character Of
cruelty to take these people and give them
a finished education, that do not know
how to work and send them back to
the tribes, where IL is a matter of pride
that a young man puts on the blanket
again. and In many instances the young
woman shall be prostituted.
Another member said: The sort Of ed
ucation they get does no earthly good.
What does their education do them in the
East or the West. They can do the
East no good by It, they do no good
to the tribe. II destroys his ability to
live in peace and happiness with his own.
The best Indian I saw in San Carlos res
ervation, who had the best schooling Tor
what Law before him in life and he got
that education in the penitentiary where
he learned discipline and learned to work.
I am a determined enemy Of what 1 call
foolish and sentimental education"
Another representative drew picture
OF what happened when these Indian
youths were transported to these high
priced schools, with no effort on his own
part.
.sThe Indian finds himself at once trans
ported from poverty TO affluence. He Is
we'll fed, clothed and helped. He studies
everything. music. drawing, etc. Matrons
wait on him when he is we'll, and trained
nurses and doctors when he is sick. A
best culinary appliances do his cooking.
He has hot and cold baths. electric lights
and steam heat. All this without money
and without price. His wants are sup
piled before he utters a wish. The child
OF the wigwarm becomes a modern Alad-
din. He has only TO rub the government
lamp TO get all he wishes"
When he goes back to the tribe ne is
literally good for nothing TO himself or
anybody else.
Another representative said ne saw
high honor man from one Of the Eastern
universities at an Indian dance and he
wore fewer clothes and acted the barba-
rian beyond all the balance.
He said that was only one example, ne
could give many.
After reading these accounts / just con-
cluded IL was there. like it is here. Tax
money is drawn out to keep fat places for
a great army. who must draw salaries
from the state.
The Indian schools are populated by lots
OF white people who enjoy fine food'
steam heat, electric lights and get big sal
aries to boot, and the Indian schools is
the excuse. We are feeding an army In
this country with good salaries who make
scholars, white and black, the excuse.
The clamor for increased appropriations
for all such things means more places ana
larger salaries for others besides pupils

DR.. Byrd's Test
BY W. A. OSBORN.

Rev. c. w. Byrd. DID, pastor of the
First Methodist church, once had an I'M
usual test He graduated from Vanderbilt
university in 1881 and the following year
taught school In the fall of that year
he felt that he could no longer resist his
convictions TO preach the gospel. He
therefore went to the North Carolina con-
ference then in session near the town
where he had been teaching to apply for
membership in the conference.
AS he journeyed he rather INDUCED the
hope that che conference would be unable
to give him work which would allay the
emotions of his conscience and give him
another year to teach.
But fortunately for him and humanity
he received an appointment to a small
German mission which was to pay $3.50 for
his services. He went bravely to his work.
He had been preaching about four
months when one morning he received
letter from the Kentucky university. To-
Gated at Lexington. 1t read about as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: You are elected to profess
sorship in our university. Salary $500.
Awaiting your reply, etc" t.
To say he was surprised but mildly ex-
presses it. He was not acquainted with
any member of the faculty nor does he
know now who was the author of this in
tended benefaction. He only suspects a
friend who knew his Vanderbilt record.
Upon recovering from his surprise DR..
Byrd called on his presiding elder for ad-
vice. The presiding elders reply was en-
phatic. go at once" he said. ''You can
Join the Kentucky conference and preach
all around that Lexington country, which
is both grand and beautiful"
So he wrote letter of acceptance. That
night was a Jacob-wrestling night. He
called upon the Lord to make known to
him If he had made mistake. Suffice to
say, before the dawn of another day he
had decided to undo what he had done,
and wrote Immediately to his correspon-
dent to consider his first letter unwritten,
that his conscience would not allow him
to preach other than the plain, simple
gospel.
To refuse a salary of $500 and return
to his German mission with an eXpectant
salary of $3.50 was indeed a test. 1t was,
however, the turning point in his career
know that DIR. Byrd will be quite sur
prised when his eye falls upon this article,
but I've no doubt it will prove interesting
to the large number who sit under his
ministry Sabbath after Sabbath.

How the People Complain About Waste
Of School Money

Dear Mrs. FELTON,:
I see in The Journal that you are asking
where the money goes which is raised for
school purposes.
Keep up this good work awhile and you
will find out where It goes. II nothing more
is discovered to help the people. 1 am
Ike you and a great many more. We all
want to know how this money is spent.
A neighbor of mine built a. school house
Just three miles from one Of Georgia's
great cities. and the school patrons are
Obliged TO raise the money. to pay the
rent. by ice cream festivals and all sorts
Of catch penny ways. Our people had to
buy desks. in addition, and supply coal

paying taxes.
We have been to the board OF education
time and again to get them to buy or build
US a house. but they always say they have
no money. 70 do anything with, in such
cases.
They are favorable to hauling the chill
dren four miles to school on wagons. The
truth OF the business is, these people are
doing like all the rest, simply holding Of
fee There are at least 70 children within
a half mile that want 10 go to school
and the only proposition is to haul them
four miles. and make them go that way.
or stay at home.
I do wish you knew all the circumstan-
ces. and you could then tell them so much
better than myself.
I felt obliged to write to you on this
subject. and desire to-thank you for the
position you have taken for helping the
people who pay taxes and who get moth
ing in return for their tax money. You
are right. the people who pay taxes are the
ones who get least attention.
