Set up and electrotyped. Published June, 1906. J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. PEEFACE The author has spent the greater part of his life in the section described. While liv- ing in a rapidly growing mill town ten years ago, the sight of scores of wagons transferring scanty household goods from farmhouses to factory tenements awakened his interest in the sudden transformation of farmers into factory operatives. His interest in the problem has cost much time and trouble. He has read everything available upon the subject, has sifted and compared dozens of statistical tables, and has compiled others. He has visited many mills, has talked with dozens of mill owners, man- agers, superintendents, overseers, and opera- tives. The children in the mill, at school or upon the streets, and the parents at home VI PREFACE have not been overlooked. The teachers, ministers, and church workers in the mill villages have helped. The business men, the officers of the law, the farmers, and the laborers, black and white, all have added something. Removal from the state gave the oppor- tunity of visiting similar manufacturing es- tablishments in other states, and has also afforded perhaps a truer perspective. -

The World of Broadus Miller: Homicide, Lynching, and Outlawry In
THE WORLD OF BROADUS MILLER: HOMICIDE, LYNCHING, AND OUTLAWRY IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA by KEVIN WAYNE YOUNG (Under the Direction of John C. Inscoe) ABSTRACT In the summer of 1927, an African American named Broadus Miller was accused of killing a fifteen-year-old white millworker in Morganton, North Carolina. Following a manhunt lasting nearly two weeks, Miller was killed and his body then publicly displayed on the Morganton courthouse lawn. This dissertation uses Broadus Miller’s personal history as a narrative thread to examine the world within which he lived and died. Miller’s story exemplifies much larger patterns and provides a unique lens on race relations and criminal justice in early twentieth-century North and South Carolina. In Miller’s native South Carolina, white supremacy was maintained through lynching, but violence permeated all forms of human interaction and most homicides featured same-race perpetrators and victims. In the early 1920s, Miller spent three years in the South Carolina state penitentiary after killing an African American woman. The court process in his case illustrates the role of race within the South Carolina legal and judicial systems, while examining conditions in the penitentiary during his incarceration demonstrates that rather than serving any rehabilitative function, the penitentiary was a highly lucrative enterprise designed to benefit penal officials. Following Miller’s release from prison, he embarked upon the same journey as thousands of other black South Carolinians in the early 1920s, when the boll weevil ravaged the state’s cotton fields and precipitated a mass out- migration of farm laborers. -

G. Hawfield Published by the Boys of the Printing Department, Stonewall Jackson Manual Training and Industrial School, Leon Godown, Instructor. : FOREWORD This book has grown out of the universal feeling of the need for a history of both the establishment and the operation of the Jack- son Training School in North Carolina. The school has now been in operation for a period of more than thirty-seven years, and prior to this time there has been no other effort to write an account of the work of this important institution. It is hoped that the readers of this publication will find in it many interesting and helpful facts, but in this connection it should be ex- plained that there is no thought that this represents a complete his- tory of the school. It would have been possible, with more time and facilities for study and research, to have prepared a more extensive and a more elaborate history of the school. One of the most interesting features of this publication is the fact that it traces the change in the conception which the public has had of a training or correctional institution. -
