SESSION IS OPPOSED
DR.. WardIaw States Why General Conference Need
Not Be Called.

The recent death of Bishop Gran
bury, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, has revived the agita-
ton for an extra session OF the General
Conference of that church for the spec
ial purpose of electing successors to the
three bishops who have died recently.
From some source or other comes a de-
termined movement in that direction,
but it seems to meet with but little re-
sponse from the clergy and laity of the
church.
81 am decidedly opposed to calling
the General Conference together for
any such purpose, said Rev. j. p.
Wardlaw, pastor of the Americus
church yesterday. "The General Con-
ference is very expensive body. Not
only does it entail heavy expense on
the church, but it meets at consider
able sacrifice of time on the part of the
many influential laymen who are dele
gates to it.
1T should not be called in extra ses-
sion except under the greatest and
most pressing circumstances.
THE church can go along without
its work being at all seriously inter-
fered with through the deaths of the

CONVICT SYSTEM IN SUMTER.
Commissioners will Investigate ALLEGED Cruel Treat
nent of Men.

Nelson stood up before me and cried
like baby, and begged that someth-
ing be done to ameliorate the lot of the
conyicts. He says he is an escaped
penitentiary convict, and has served
nine years in the state penitentiary
and that he had rather serve fifteen
years in the state penitentiary than
three years in this chaingang
He said that where he worked in the
state penitentiary there was about three
hundred convicts, and there has been
more escaped from our chaingang in
the last three months than occurred dur
ing nine years at the state penitentiary
He claims that the cruel treatment and
unnecessarily severe punishment in
iiicted upon The county conviets is the
cause of so many Of them escaping.
| informed Nelson that 1 knew moth
ing the truth or falsity ofhis charges,
and did not take his statement as the
truth of the matter.
However, | have heard from sundry
citizens Of the county complaint and
criticism as to the treatment received
by the conYicts, and having heard this
complaint, and this defendant ir open
court having made the charge, I felt it
was due you and myself, and the con-
victs, that this matter be thoroughly
sifted and Investigated by your honor
able body.
Therefore, as Judge of the City Court
of Americas, and as county official,
being the one who has sentenced most
of the convicts to the chaingang, [
respectfully request your honorable
body to have speedy fair, full and inn
partial investigation of this matter
| refer you to section 1146, 1147, 1l4S,
ll49 and 1850 of the penal code of 1895,
which prescribed the law applicable to
county chaingangs s. shall send copy
of this letter to each of the County
Commissioners.

and esteem for each of the Commission
ers, personally, have the honor to be,
yours sincerely.

AS result of the prompt action of
President Sheffield, of the Board of
Trade, the representatives of the road
who are now in Savannah preparing a
pamphlet for distribution at the James
town Exposition, will visit this city as
soon as they have completed their work
in Savannah.
This will be in almost a fortnight.
Yesterday Agent Everett received
word from Savannah that Mess. Bates

three bishops. Bishops Granbury and
Smith were superannuated bishops.
The only active bishop who has died
was Bishop Tigert who was fine
specimen of robust manhood, one who
would have been power, for good to
the Church if he had not been called
away.
''It Is not imposing too ponderous
task on the other bishops of the Church
to require them to subdivide the extra
work among themselves.
''None of the bishopslhave complain
ed, so far as I know, of the work being
too arduOus. | have not the slightest
idea that there will be any extraordi-
nary session of the General Conference
unless Providence should call so many
Bishops away from earth as TO seri-
ously cripple the supervising work
done by them, and that is hardly apt
to happen.
THE General Conference does not
meet for three years, concluded Mr..
Wardlaw, land | do not anticipate that
any conditions will arise before then
that will require it to be called togeth-
er."

AS the result of. sensational state
ments made to Judge Charles K. Crisp
by county convict Gus Nelson, re-
garding alleged mistreatment of chain
gang negroes, the County Commission
ers will meet on Tuesday next at the
courthouse here for the purpose of
making thorough and impartial inves-
tlgation of the case.
This is done at the request Of Judge
Crisp, who has laid the matter before
the board.
Nelson, the escaped convict, was
brought before the court to receive
additional sentence for escaping, when
he burst into tears and, With body
trembling with emotion. told Judge
Crisp narrowing story of alleged crnel
treatment accorded the convicts.
Nelson's statement is embodied in
the following letter addressed by Judge
Crisp to the County Commissioners
Immediately after the negro made his
statement.
Amcricus, Ga. April 4th 1907.
Hon. Board of Commissioners Roads
and Revenue of Sumter County,
Gentlemen:
This morning in open court Gus
Nelson, who recently escaped from the
chaingang Of the county, entered plea
of guilty before me for the offense of
escaping.
He stated to me in open court, that
the reason he left and the other con
victs escaping with him was, that they
received barbarous, cruel and inhuman
treatment, and death or anything else
was preferable to remaining on the
ehaingang.
He reported that they frequently
whipped them till the skin would peel
off, and that on many occasions they
were knocked down with pick handles
and either like instruments, while at
work out on the public roads. lie re-
ported to me that he did not know but
W hat he might be killed for this state
ment, but he would make it neyerthe-
less. He said that Mr.. Braswell was
the one who inflicted this cruel treat
ment upon the cOnVicts.

the erection of awnings of this class.
At the recent meeting the entire matter
was referred back to the street COM

unanimously in favor of this particular
awning. In the meantime $500 worth
of structural iron still lies IN front of
the Buchanan store and which will be
useless unless used for this purpose.
In the meantime the solOns ponder.
