METHODISTS in SESSION
DAKOTA NJ. r.. CONFERENCE AT
WATERTOWN - BISHOP
MITCHELL PRESIDING.

Watertown, Sept. 30.-The thirty
second annual meeting of the South
Dakota conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church is in session here
under the leadership of Bishop c. b.
Mitchell, who was elected to the epis-
copacy at Saratoga Springs at the
general conference last spring. Sew
eral hundred ministers and delegates
are present.
DR.. Kline, of Portland, Ore, paid
tribute to the daily press of Amer
lea. Nearly 100 great dailies and
thirty leading magazines refuse liq-
uor advertisements in their columns.
He paid a great tribute to the press
as a strong ally of the church. Rus
STA, he said, has abolished vodka
and its people are more prosperous
in consequence, and Canada has de-
clared for a saloonless land through
out the whole dominion.
District superintendent p. o.
Blunt, Aberdeen; w. s. Shepherd,
Mitchell; C. E. Matteson. Rapid City,
O. f. Boyce, Watertown, reported
the years work on their districts.
Progress has been the note OF the
conference. The Dakota university,
Methodists hospitals, church inn
provements and evangelism are being
pushed in the state.
The laymen are taking a larger
interest in church affairs and the sa-
loon is being hard pressed with the
expectancy of state prohibition this
fall.
Rev. w. S. Shepherd, of Mitchell,
and o. K. Boyce, of WATERFOWL, each
complete their respective six-year
terms as district superintendent this
fall.
The feeling of the conference does
not generally favor exchange of su.
perintendents who complete their
terms of office the same conference
year, although each has done very
effective work.
Important features of the confer
ence will be Bishop Mitchell's lecture

Frank Harold, Jr., of Americas, won
the state medal offered by the United
daughters of Confcderacy for the best
essay on Reconstruction in Georgia"
The following essay by Harold won
the honors:
When the last remnants OF the noble
Southern army dragged themselves to
their ruined homes, devastated lands
and burned cities, they found the South
in a very deplorable condition. Bust
ness was destroyed; most of the re-
turning soldiers were disabled or
broken in health and no money was in
circulation. nor could it be borrowed.
The four million recently freed slaves
poured into the cities with tile idea that
freedom meant that they would be fed
by the United States and that they need
rot work. With no stock or labor, ag-
riculture, the chief means of support
in the South, was dead. Problems of
church, transportation, and society in
general had to be solved. These were
a few of the conditions under which
Georgia began reconstruction.
Immediately after taking the oath of
office, President Johnson, as command
er-in-chief of the United States army,
appointed provisional governors for the
ten Southern states. These should pro-
vide for the assemblage of conventions
to form new constitutions The con-
stitution being satisfactory to the Pres
i6ent, the states would be recognized
by him.
The people of the South complied
with the terms; annulled their ordin-
ance of secession; renewed their obli-
cations to the Union; adopted the
thirteenth amendment, which was the
virtual abolition of slavery, and elected
senators and members of the Federal
Congress.
When congress assembled in Deem
Der, 1865, the policy of Andrew jack
son was bitterly assailed by the Rad
icals, led by Thaddeus Stevens, Stan
ton and Sumner. Denying the South
ern states admission to either house
Congress passed the fourteenth amend
nent, which put premium on negro
Suffrage and disfranchised the leading
whites. 1t was refused adoption by all
the Southern states and several of the
Northern. In this condition of affairs,
congress declared the Southern states
to be in state of rebellion, annulled
tie johnson plan, and divided the
South into five military districts, plac-
ing a military commander over each
district.
Georgia with Florida and Alabama
was called District No. g." General

Frank Harrold's Essay Won u.
D. G.. Medal Over The State

Pope, who was in command of the
Third District had absolute power once
to close the State Univers-
ity because a students speech at COM
mencement displeased him.
Under the rule of the military COM
mander in Georgia, conventions were
called and over twenty thousand
whites, consisting almost entirely of
the best men, were denied voting priv
ileges, while negroes were allowed to
vote in f1ocks. There was no appeal
military authority. Robbery, murder
and every kind of lawlessness ran riot
over the state. Newspapers teemed
with accounts of crime.
Then came the carpetbaggers, UNI
principled men of the North, who came
South for gain only. The carpetbag-
gers united with the scaIawags, the
home made Yankees" and formed
Union Leagues. These leagues taught
the negro that he was the equal of
the white and that the South was
trying to reduce the negro to slavery
again. If the negroes refused to vote
as the league desired, they we're ostra-
cised by their own race.
This disorder and defiance was in
creased when the Federals establish
ed the Freedmen's Bureau. This bu-
reau, distrusting the Southern whites,
had charge of all affairs relating to
the negro. The members of the league
assumed the management of the con-
fiscated property, or as congress call
eG it, abandoned lands" In Athens,
thousands of dollars worth of rails
we're hauled off mans lot without
any notice whatever being given to
the owner.
Sums squandered by the Radicals
were enormous. In one year, over
100000 was used for building the
State road alone and over a thousand
names on the payroll were fictitious,
the Radicals evidently pocketing the
money. Millions were advanced for
railroads, not mile of which was
built. Governor Bullock, by himself,
pocketed $5,OOO,OO0. Money appropri-
ated to schools was very often taken.
State seals were often abused;; but,
am proud to say, the seal of Georgia
was never touched by Radical hands.
The increase of public debt furnish
os am index to the Radical misrule.
The debt of the Southern states was
raised $131, 100000 in three years.
Georgia, free from debt at the end Of
the war, had debt of $50 900, 900 after
six years of Federal rule. In two years
the Radical legislature spent 100000
more than any other legislature of
eight years. Not only were debts in
creased, but taxes were raised. Was
this not taxation without representa-
ton?
District General Pope was now sue
ceeded by General Meade, who imme-
diatey showed his attitude towards
Georgia by taking out of Olive Gov
ernor Jenkins, loyal Georgian, and
placing the Federal commander.
Thomas Kruger, in his stead At the
next election, General Meade gave
the governors chair to Rufus Bullock,
instead of the rightfully elected man,
General John B. Gordon.

submitted without resistance to this
Radical rule. Besides the methods
used by the Ku Klux, various schemes
were devised to carry elections. In
Americas, the ballot box had a false
bottom and could be stuffed right I'M
der the nose of Federal officers. A
certain method was used by which the
man carrying the box from one place
t. another was knocked down and a
stuffed box substituted for the orig
inal one, and was often successful.
Thousands of boys put the number
'21' on the bottoms of their shoes,
then swore that they were over 81
ard voted. Other schemes, such as by
shifting the boxes, ignorant negroes
we're made to vote Democratic, were
used. In drawing out the excess votes,
the white men knew their votes by
certain characteristics, such as color
or thickness, and the negro votes
would be drawn.
The millions of freed negroes nat
urally caused much trouble. When, at
times, they were drunk on Federal
whiskey, they would sweep the streets
Of whites and insult the white wo-
men. Whites were tried by negro juries,
with carpetbaggers and scalawags pre-
siding. Voorhees, of Indiana said,
From turret to foundation you tore
the Southern states. You said who
should rule over their elections and
who should elect them. You purged
the ballot box of virtue and intelli-
gence and in their stead you placed
the most ignorant and unqualified
race in the world to rule over these
people"
Americas narrowly escaped a ter
rible riot between the races. Soldiers
were not allowed to stay in one place
over a year, for fear they should be-
come friendly to the population. Only
one county in the state, Ebert, escap-
cd Radical rule. Ben Hill said, "The |
complying accept, the resolute object, |
none approve, and all hate" The
noble Georgians were overpowered, |
but not degraded. The same material
is found in steel rail as in watch
spring. The ship Of state was indeed
about to go down, but the unconquer-
able, descended to Georgia from
Scotch-Irish. Cavalier and Hugenot,
had not been dealt with, and we shall
soon see how this blood MANIFESTED it
self
Open opposition to this terrible mis-
government was impossible; so secret
organization was a necessity. The
Ku Klux Kan, originating in Tennes-
see Immediately following the war, at
first was an infant organization, but
soon it grew into giant Khan and
kept down the negro. The purpose
was to protect the white women and
children and to secure ballot box
controlled by whites. The Khan re-
solved to abide by the laws of the
United States Constitution and to shed
as little blood as possible. The best
Southern blood formed the Khan. Cen
eral Nathan B. Forrest being Grand
Wizard"
The superstitions of the negroes
were very much objected by the white
robed horses with their terrible ghost
like riders, who came and vanished at
will The Khan was always mounted
and was seen only at night. Force
was sometimes used, but the ordinary
negro was put in mortal fear by one
sight. Skulls were always carried
and given to the negro. Another ter
rifying method: By means Of con-
