Entertainingly of this Flourishing School and its Work. They were delighted with the music. It was a real joy to see the country and town people turn out in such vase numbers to attend the commencement and to note Harbison Agricultural College commencement took place last week. Owing to the lack of time I witnessed a part of the commencement only. The Junior prize contest was an interesting scene. Several young men figured in the combat and made things lively. The speeches were not perfect, but they were thought out well and delivered in a spirited manner. Some of the young men were eloquent and took the audience with them "by violence." The committee appointed to award the prize to the best speaker had no easy task on its hands. Three of the young men raced so near each other that nothing but the most watchful eye and critical faculty could detect who the superior man was. It was neck and neck. While I sat and followed the contest I was convinced that a Junior prize contest in schools of higher grade than Harbison College would have to work very hard to excel this one. This is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that these Harbison boys are in the rough, just from the sticks, so to speak. There was just one graduate for the year. The address of this man was thoughtful and attractive. The outlook for him is fair. I predict for him a future of usefulness in whatever sphere of activity his lot may be cast. Another year the graduating class will be much larger. The music was a noteworthy item. Bright col. ge songs and others made the welkin ring. All students of Harbison are required to sing. It is a part of their work, just like any other lesson, which must be studied and recited. The band of songsters at Harbison can interest and arouse the dullest soul ever. While some of the best numbers were being sung I noticed many of the old people present looking on with their mouths wide open and amazed. They were delighted with the music. It was a real joy to see the country and town people turn out in such vase tunnels to attend the commencement and to note how happy they were. Harbison has spent only two or three years at Irmo, S. C., and Irmo is a very small town. But see how the folks come out and enjoy themselves and praise Harbison! Look at their clothing! Did you ever see such dresses? Did you ever see such wealth of colors? Believe me. Harbison commencement of 1914 was the best for years. Old and young will cherish its memory for years. In closing, let me say that Harbison College is planted right in the midst of a dense Negro population. The school owns something like 1,500 acres of land, which is being sold in lots on easy terms to colored people. The plan is to surround the college with an ideal Negro settlement which will help the college and which the college will benefit. This is a splendid school for boys. Parents desiring a good, safe school for their boys will find Harbison the place to send them. President Young told me that no matter how poor a boy might be, if he was willing to work and study he would not be turned away from Harbison College. The course of study covers a large field. While the science of agriculture is the principal subject, it is by no means the only thing taught. Many other things which a boy will need to make himself efficient, etc., are taught. Dr. C. M. Young, President of the school, would be glad to give all necessary information. G. T. Dillard. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. I. W. Simons and family wish to thank most heartily the many friends and neighbors who have so kindly remembered us and have rendered us various thoughtful services during the many months of suffering of our loved one. The Indicator does Job Printing! D.B. Candler and the county at-large are proud of the honor conferred upon them through the faculty of this good school by having Dr. Burroughs serve on this occasion. The church and church grounds were well crowded. At 9 p. m., the alumni association conducted its annual banquet in the spacious and well ordered dining hall of the academy. After the general reception of guests in the drawing room, the party was conducted to the beautiful tables and served with well prepared delicacies. The music was grand at all times. The next feature was the toast speeches, most of which were very good. The toast orators were: Dr. J. P. Pickett, Dr. J. H. Thomas, Prof.C. C. Lowerr, Rev.J. W. Boykin, Messrs I. B. English, W. E. Boykin, Fred Aaron, and Mrs. Julia Douglass. Miss Rachel C. Brown, the senior alumnus read a grand essay to the delight of all. The closing address was delivered by the president of the association, Mrs. D. C. Bulkley. Much credit is due her for the successful evening. Too many thanks cannot be given Miss Frances V. Russell and her interesting faculty for the great work they are doing in behalf of our people. This school has a fine $20,000 class room building and excellent girl dormitories The school had its largest enrolment this season, but did not need to occupy the dormitory for little girls; this shows that upwards of 50 more girls can be accommodated easily, and Miss Russell wants them. Long live Browning Home and Mather Academy. G. C. Lowery. DEATH OF MISS LUCY WANNAMAKER. After an illness lasting six months Miss Lucy Wannamaker, the youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs.T.W. Wannamaker, died at the home of her parents on Walnut St., Tuesday night, May 12th, at 11:30 o'clock. She watt a patient sufferer from sciatic rheumatism and was happily prepared for the end. She was a faithful and consistent member of Jones Chapel A. M. E. Zion church and greatly admired by all who knew her for her christian piety. The funeral was conducted from Jones Chapel Thursday following at 3 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. J. C. Lewis. A large concourse of sorrowing friends were out to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of this lovable and splendid young lady. The floral offerings were many and lovely. The body was tenderly laid to rest in Randolph memery. NEWS FROM CITY ON EDISTO Orangeburg, May 26.—The crops are suffering for want of rain and the farmers are becoming somewhat alarmed on account of the long dry spell. However they are watching, waiting and praying for showers of blessings which they say will come by and by. The oat crop is fairly good in this section, and the same is being rapidly gathered. The vegetable crop is fine and a great help to those who suffer from the high cost of living. After all we have no right to complain, for we have many sources from which blessings come to us, charges pre-paid. The Great Giver of every good and perfect gift deserves our never-ending praise for these and other rich blessings coming While we have had some sickness and a few deaths the health of the people in our community is generally good, and they all seem to have good appetites. The graded school of our city has closed, and also the two colleges, thus considerably reducing our city's population, for most of the students have gone to their various homes to see friends and loving ones and to prepare to return again when school opens. Dr. N. C. Nix, pastor in charge of the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church of this city, is running a glorious revival in which he is assisted by the Rev. Dr. T. L. Jones, of Voorhees Institute, of Denmark. The wife of Mr. Robert Cottrell, who several years ago, moved from this city to Birmingham, Alabama, with her husband, died last week in that city. The body was brought here for burial and the same was interred last Sunday afternoon in River-side cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends The funeral services were conducted from Trinity M. E, church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hickson. Mrs. Susan Cottrell for a number of years, was a faithful and consistent member of the above named church, and has left a host of friends and loved ones to mourn her departure. Dr.A.P. Dunbar, of Columbia, who is general msnager of the Mutual Relief and Benevolent Association, was in the city last Saturday and Sunday looking after the interest of his company which has a large membership in this city and is in charge of Mrs. Laura Daniels, widow of our late friend and brother, H. B. Daniels, who represented this company previous to his death, a few months ago. We commend this good and reliable company to the favorable consideration of all whose duty it is to patronize race enterprises. Picnics are now in season and you may judge the balance. The Indicator's Man Subscribe for The Indicator. LIFE AND FUMERAL OF REV. I. W. MONS. The Rev. Simons, who died last Tuesday of kindey trouble at his home, Fairview, in the eastern suburbs of the city, was born in Kershaw in 1849. Since 1878 he has made his home in Columbia. He was happily married Oct. 28, 1880, to Miss Minnie J. Williams, of Columbia, and of the marriage were born twelve chilTWO—INDIGATOR. dren, two of whom have long since preceded him to the better land. He has ever been a faithful and loyal member of Nazareth Baptist church, where the Marriage was solemnized. of the church to a suburb of the city, nearer the people who constitute its membership. This has finally been done, and it is a very sad realization to his family that his should be the first funeral—almost the first service—held there after the removal. He graduated at Benedict College in the class of 1891. He has served efficiently and successfully as pastor of the Nazareth Baptist church in Columbia and churches in Georgetown, Newberry, Congaree, Batesburg and Lexington. He enjoyed the rare privilege of baptizing six of his children in his own beloved church. One of the unfulfilled desires of his life was that he might baptize the remaining four. The funeral service was conducted at Nazareth on the 28th, and, according to his well known wish of years standing, the family had it very simply arranged, using the 23rd and 90th Psalms and two of his favorite hymns, "In All My Lord's Appointed Way," and "A Charge to Keep I Have." The Rev. J. J. Durham, who has known him many years, made a few appropriate remarks on his life. His four sons, his nephew, W. H. Thompson, and his brother-in-law, W. H. Howell, served as pall bearers. The honorary pall bearers were: Mesrs. R. J. Palmer, Jas. Hicks, Joseph Cook, W. A. Thompson. His only expressed wish for restored health during the five months of his illness was that he might be able to help build up his church in its new home. But God had a higher work for him, so called him away from us. We bow in humble submission to His will. The Family. OUR SPARTANBURG LETTER.

Dr. Beckett was a candidate for bishop in the A. M. B. chureh at the last general conference, which met In Kan- sas City.

Each stu- dent has his key and is held re- sponsible for the contents of the} locker. There is good space for four persons, and plans made for ten, Eighteen persons work in the laboratory at one time, each having his own Bunsen burner on his desk and the water with- in his reach just over the lead trough that carries the waste! liquids. All dilute and common liquid are on the individual shelf, while those of a more important nature are upon a common shelf in an alphabetical order thus saving -the student much time in performing his experiments. When he strikes an experiment that calls for apparatie not in his locker, he fills out a borrowed list and gets the same from the instructor for the said experi- ment, returning it in good condi- tion when through with it. .So, the plan is for the student to do experiments that are given and the material is always on hand if it can be had. The biological laboratory is in good working condition and work is now going on in it. There are ten compound micro- scopes and six dissecting micro- scopes for the use of the college student. There are slides pro- vided for the students when fresh material cannot be had. Regular laboratory tables are now being placed, and plans made for charts and maps for all classes in botany and zoology. The Physical laboratory is nearing completion. Already the gas burners for individual work have been placed and the tables are being constructed. The laboratory is equipped with apparatus to perform any of the experiments called for by the text. The students have done great work in this department this year, especially with the pulleys heat, light, electricity, sound, and _ water. Greater things are planned for next year, One trouble is tohold the stu- dent down until he is in line for the laboratory work, so anxious is he for thecourse. If the de- | partments are supplemented each year as they have been for the past three years, Benedict will soon have what she says she wants, that, that will fit the boy or girl with just the kind of sci- ence he wants and needs and will feel proud that she can in- troduce the several students to nature as she withoutsuch equip- ment would be unable to do so. i ee !

COMMENCEMENT AT HARBISON Our Reporter Writes Entertainingly of this Flourishing School and its Work. Harbison Agricultural College commencement took place last week. Owing to the lack of time I witnessed a part of the commencement only. The Junior prize contest was an interesting scene. Several young men figured in the combat and made things lively. The speeches were not perfect, but they were thought out well and delivered in a spirited manner. Some of the young men were eloquent and took the audience with them "by violence." The committee appointed to award the prize to the best speaker had no easy task on its hands. Three of the young men raced so near each other that nothing but the most watchful eye and critical faculty could detect who the superior man was. It was neck and neck. While I sat and followed the contest I was convinced that a Junior prize contest in schools of higher grade than Harbison College would have to work very hard to excel this one. This is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that these Harbison boys are in the rough, just from the sticks, so to speak. There was just one graduate for the year. The address of this man was thoughtful and attractive. The outlook for him is fair. I predict for him a future of usefulness in whatever sphere of activity his lot may be cast. Another year the graduating class will be much larger. The music was a noteworthy item. Bright col.ge songs and others made the welkin ring. All students of Harbison are required to sing. It is a part of their work, just like any other lesson, which must be studied and recited. The band of songsters at Harbison can interest and arouse the dullest soul ever. While some of the best numbers were being sung I noticed many of the old people present looking on with their mouths wide open and amazed. VOLUME XI State A. and M. College, Orange- stree Benedict College, He Prof. Nix did postgraduate work has been professor of mathematics at once its foundation. He is also pas- ses in the city of Orangeburg, They were delighted with the music. It was a real joy to see the country and town people turn out in such vast numbers to attend the commencement and to note how happy they were. Harbison has spent only two or three years at Irmo, S. C., and Irmo is a very small town. But see how the folks come out and enjoy themselves and praise Harbison! Look at their clothing! Did you ever see such dresses? Did you ever see such wealth of colors? Believe me. Harbison commencement of 1914 was the best for years. Old and young will cherish its memory for years. In closing, let me say that Harbison College is planted right in the midst of a dense Negro population. The school owns something like 1,500 acres of land, which is being sold in lots on easy terms to colored people. The plan is to surround the college with an ideal Negro settlement which will help the college and which the college will benefit. This is a splendid school for boys. Parents desiring a good, safe school for their boys will find Harbison the place to send them. President Young told me that no matter how poor a boy might be, if he was willing to work and study he would not be turned away from Harbison College. The course of study covers a large field. While the science of agriculture is the principal subject, it is by no means the only thing taught. Many other things which a boy will need to make himself efficient, etc., are taught. Dr. C. M. Young, President of the school, would be glad to give all necessary information. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. I. W. Simons and family wish to thank most heartily the many friends and neighbors who have so kindly remembered us and have rendered us various thoughtful services during the many months of suffering of our loved one. The Indicator does Job Printing! G. T. Dillard. COLUMBIA, S. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914 COMMENCEMENT AT CAMDEN Browning Home and Mather Academy Hold Brilliant and Successful Closing Exercises. Camden, June 2.—The commemorative exercises of Brown-College and Mather Academy were completed Tuesday May 26 when the class of 1914, viz. Gertrude Belle Allen, Catharine Elizabeth Collins, Charlotte Ann Collins, Harold Leonidas Dibbler, Lottie Belle Reynolds, Edith Beatrice Wilson and Benjamin Team Wood delivered their essays and orations in Trinity M. E. church at 1:30 p. m. All of the graduates spoke well and special mention should be made of the salutatorian, Miss Edith B. Wilson, and the valedictorian, Miss Catharine E. Collins. These productions were good and reflected much credit. The pastor, Rev. B. S. A. Williams, in a brief but very timely manner, presented the diplomas. The next in order was the annual address. This was up to the highest expectations and everybody expressed a delight in it. The title of this master-piece was "Watchfulness." This was well delivered and the speaker with humor and wit attached to his philosophy, kept everybody, old and young, in deep attitude of expectancy until he had concluded. This able and worthy orator who served us was in the person of Rev. E. B. Burroughs D. D. Camden and the county at-large are proud of the honor conferred upon them through the faculty of this good school by having Dr. Burroughs serve on this occasion. The church and church grounds were well crowded. At 9 p. m., the alumni association conducted its annual banquet in the spacious and well ordered dining hall of the academy. After the general reception of guests in the drawing room, the party was conducted to the beautiful tables and served with well prepared delicacies. The music was grand at all times. The next feature was the toast speeches, most of which were very good. The toast orators were: Dr. J. P. Pickett, Dr. J. H. Thomas, Prof.C. C. Lowerr, Rev.J. W. Boykin, Messrs I- B. English, W. E. Boykin, Fred Aaron, and Mrs. Julia Douglass. Miss Rachel C. Brown, the senior alumnus read a grand essay to the delight of all. The closing address was delivered by the president of the association, Mrs. D. C. Bulkley. Much credit is due her for the successful evening. Too many thanks cannot be given Miss Frances V. Russell and her interesting faculty for the great work they are doing in behalf of our people. This school has a fine $20,000 class room building and excellent girl dormitories The school had its largest enrolment this season, but did not need to occupy the dormitory for little girls; this shows that upwards of 50 more girls can be accommodated easily, and Miss Russell wants them. Long live Browning Home and Mather Academy. G. C. Lowery. DEATH OF MISS LUCY WANNAMAKER. After an illness lasting six months Miss Lucy Wannamaker, the youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs.T.W. Wannamaker, died at the home of her parents on Walnut St., Tuesday night, May 12th, at 11:30 o'clock. She was a patient sufferer from sciatic rheumatism and was happily prepared for the end. She was a faithful and consistent member of Jones Chapel A. M. E. Zion church and greatly admired by all who knew her for her christian piety. The funeral was conducted from Jones Chapel Thursday following at 3 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. J. C. Lewis. A large concourse of sorrowing friends were out to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of this lovable and splendid young lady. The floral offerings were many and lovely. The body was tenderly laid to rest in Randolph cemetery, NEWS FROM CITY ON EDISTO Orangeburg, May 26.—The crops are suffering for want of rain and the farmers are becoming somewhat alarmed on account of the long dry spell. However they are watching, waiting and praying for showers of blessings which they say will come by and by. The oat crop is fairly good in this section and the same is being rapidly gathered. The vegetable crop is fine and a great help to those who suffer from the high cost of living. After all we have no right to complain, for we have many sources from which blessings come to us, charges pre-paid. The Great Giver of every good and perfect gift deserves our never-ending praise for these and other rich blessings coming to us at all times and under all While we have had some sickness and a few deaths the health of the people in our community is generally good, and they all seem to have good appetites. The graded school of our city has closed, and also the two colleges, thus considerably reducing our city's population, for most of the students have gone to their various homes to see friends and loving ones and to prepare to return again when school opens. Dr. N. C. Nix, pastor in charge of the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church of this city, is running a glorious revival in which he is assisted by the Rev. Dr. T. L. Jones, of Voorhees Institute, of Denmark. The wife of Mr. Robert Cottrell, who several years ago, moved from this city to Birmingham, Alabama, with her husband, died last week in that city. The body was brought here for burial and the same was interred last Sunday afternoon in River-side cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends The funeral services were conducted from Trinity M. E, church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hickson. Mrs. Susan Cottrell for a number of years, was a faithful and consistent member of the above named church, and has left a host of friends and loved ones to mourn her departure. Dr.A.P. Dunbar, of Columbia, who is general msnager of the Mutual Relief and Benevolent Association, was in the city last Saturday and Sunday looking after the interest of his company which has a large membership in this city and is in charge of Mrs. Laura Daniels, widow of our late friend and brother, H. B. Daniels, who represented this company previous to his death, a few months ago. We commend this good and reliable company to the favorable consideration of all whose duty it is to patronize race enterprises. Picnics are now in season and you may judge the balance.

FUNERAL SUPPLIES AT LOWEST PRICES. Hardy, Pinckney & Biggs, 1006 Washington St. Phone 1695. Columbia, S. C. Our Newly Established Branch Office is 113 Washington St., Phone 1986, Greenville, S. C. The Rev. L. W. Simons, who died last Tuesday of kindey trouble at his home, Fairview, in the eastern suburbs of the city, was was born in Kershaw in 1849. Since 1878 he has made his home in Columbia. He was happily married Oct. 28, 1880, to Miss Minnie J. Williams, of Columbia, and of the marriage were born twelve chilTWO—INDICATOR. dren, two of whom have long since preceded him to the better land. He has ever been a faithful and loyal member of Nuzareth Baptist church, where the marriage was solemnized. For many years he has very easily advocated for removal of the church to a suburb of the city, nearer the people who constitute its membership. This has finally been done, and it is a very sad realization to his family that his should be the first funeral—almost the first service—held there after the removal. He graduated at Benedict College in the class of 1891. He has served efficiently and successfully as pastor of the Nazareth Baptist church in Columbia and churches in Georgetown, Newberry, Congaree, Batesburg and Lexington. He enjoyed the rare privilege of baptizing six of his children in his own beloved church. One of the unfulfilled desires of his life was that he might baptize the remaining four. The funeral service was conducted at Nazareth on the 28th, and, according to his well known wish of years standing, the family had it very simply arranged, using the 23rd and 90th Psalms and two of his favorite hymns, "In All My Lord's Appointed Way," and "A Charge to Keep I Have." The Rev. J. J. Durham, who has known him many years, made a few appropriate remarks on his life. His four sons, his nephew, W. H. Thompson, and his brother-in-law, W. H. Howell, served as pall bearers. The honorary pall bearers were: Messrs. R. J. Palmer, Jas. Hicks, Joseph Cook, W. A. Thompson. His only expressed wish for restored health during the five months of his illness was that he might be able to help build up his church in its new home. But God had a higher work for him, so called him away from us. We bow in humble submission to His will. The Family. OUR SPARTANBURG LETTER.

England in the Midst of a Tempest. The uprising of the women of England and their insistent demand to be given the ballot will provoke more serious trouble in England than has already occurred. The English parliament appears to lack the capacity to deal properly with this question. The suffragettes are resorting to methods that must bring the blush of shame to every decent civilized woman. Their treatment of their king and queen is outrageous. Their indecent conduct will result in a loss of sympathy in America for their cause and the cause of female suffrage everywhere. Another serious condition that confronts the entire United Kingdom is the matter of home rule for Ireland. But few people appear to understand the situation. Were it not for the seriousness of the situation it would be amusing to read some of the discussions through the press on this question. For the information of some of our readers we wish to state the following facts: More than 800 years ago, during the reign of Henry II of England, when conditions in Ireland were somewhat similar to conditions among the Indians in America, at the time of the discovery by Columbus, occurred the conquest of Ireland. Ireland is an island—one of the British Isles—forming a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is divided into four provinces—Ulster, Leinster, Munster and Connaught. In area it is but a little larger than South Carolina, but has about three times South Carolina's population. The Irish are distinctively and emphatically Roman Catholics. The English and Scotch are mainly Protestants. The attempt of the English government near the close of the 16th century to introduce the Reformed faith and English institutions met with stubborn and determined opposition on the part of the Irish and stirred up great dissension in Ireland. A revolt on the part of the Irish chief, particularly those in Munster and Ulster, led to the confiscation of their lands, the King and parliament giving much of the lands to English settlers in Munster, and Scotch and English settlers in Ulster. After passing through various vicissitudes, Ireland, on Jan. 1, 1801, was united with Great Britain as an integral part of it and its policies of state have been dominated by English influence. The sympathies of the Pope of Rome and the entire Roman Catholic church have been with the Irish and against England. The situation at this time appears to be severely acute. The Ulsterites appear to be the most intelligent, courageous and influential people in Ireland. The passage by parliament of the bill as originally framed, is an impossibility. It would place the Ulsterites in practically the same situation occupied by the white people of South Carolina from 1869 to 1876, and would result in a bloody revolution, the end of which no one can predict. Many of the leading statesmen and clergymen, and some of the most influential people of all classes in England, sympathize openly with the Ulsterites. Some of the foremost generals in the English army, including Lord Roberts, will resign their com- missions rather than take up arms to enforce the law if passed. The sympathies of Protestants in America are with the Ulsterites. The people of Ulster will rebel against their government rather than submit. No one can tell what will be the outcome. May God save dear old England and bring her safely through this crisis. And we join with the English people in saying, God save the King. Since writing the foregoing we see that a compromise measure has been passed excluding Ulster from the provisions of the bill, but that does not give satisfaction. Thou Shalt Not Steal. In our issue of May 2nd we editorially referred to The Mutual Relief and Benevolent Association in deservedly commendatory terms. We observe that one of our contemporaries had the "check" to appropriate our article in its entirety except that it inserted its name in place of ours. We regard that as quite a compliment to us. Our esteemed has not yet made amends or even stated that it failed to place around the article the required quotation marks. As the little write-up was said to be even stronger than the advertisement inserted by our esteemed, for which it has already been paid, we expect our esteemed to publicly give us the credit or its check for half of the cash Esteemed, there must be a "Rainy" day before you can go "Scott free." Congressman Lever has been putting in some good work at Washington, quite in contrast to Congressman Ragsdale, who appears to be no bigger than a peanut politician. The Smith-Lever Bill has been accepted by the House, and, on signature of President Wilson, became a law. Senator Hoke Smith took opportunity to manifest his Negro-hating spirit in the discussion, and succeeded in having the Bill as passed so formed as to prevent the Negro from having a just and proper recognition in this measure. But let us wait and bide our time. Right will eventually win. "Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity."

THE MINISTERIAL DEPARTMENT CF BENEDICT COLLEGE. From (Benedict) College Journal. The above caption may sound a bit bigger than this humble article may warrant. Let it go as it may. The fact is, Benedict College has a system of Theological Training that every minister of the gospel in South Carolina in particular might rightly feel glad over. For the College trained man, a B. D. course is provided; for the L. I. graduate, a B. Th. course is provided; for those who have not been so fortunate as to get such training that would make them eligible to these degrees, a course known as a "Ministerial Course" has been provided. It is about this latter provision I wish to say a word or two. For several years the said "Ministerial Course" has been reasonably attended, everything considered, by the brethren here and there over the State. Without calling their names, suffice it to say, that young and old ministers, experienced and inexperienced pastors, and right through the years of this course, pastors even of great religious powers and remarkably wide influences have been students of this "Ministerial Department." And it can be truthfully said, if their own unsolicited testimony and their actual work (and I might When your Blood Your Whole If you have any Blood o lay until it is too late bu The Hot Spr When your Blood is Right, Your Whole System is Right.

The great results thus obtained have not only justified the sacrifices they underwent to remain here two, three, and four months at a session for about as many years, but also demonstrated beyond the slightest question the wisdom of this "Ministerial Department." In a word, this "Department" is very much akin to our regular B. Th. course. In essential points, it covers the reign of Theology as this is commonly understood and deals largely in every thing that pertains to the pastoral functions and relations. And without boasting, the goods are so simply given, so earnestly put, so completely handled that to those who are "in the game", this Ministerial Department is a very modest term as compared with what it actually is and is doing to make for South Carolina more efficient ministers of the Gospel. This department, in fact the whole system of Theological work here, in Benedict College is more hopeful, more promising for better things than ever. The writer knows where-of he speaks. Let us therefore have a larger and more representative patronage of this Course and thus prove ourselves more worthy of this exceptional opportunity. R. F. Lee. God is Right, System is Right.

The The SOUTHERN INDICATOR Entered as Second Class Matter May 8th, 1912, at the post office at Columbia, S. C., under the Act of March 3d, 1879. Saturday, June 6, 1914. England in the Midst of a Tempest. The uprising of the women of England and their insistent demand to be given the ballot will provoke more serious trouble in England than has already occurred. The English parliament appears to lack the capacity to deal properly with this question. The suffragettes are resorting to methods that must bring the blush of shame to every decent civilized woman. Their treatment of their king and queen is outrageous. Their indecent conduct will result in a loss of sympathy in America for their cause and the cause of female suffrage everywhere. Another serious condition that confronts the entire United Kingdom is the matter of home rule for Ireland. But few people appear to understand the situation. Were it not for the seriousness of the situation it would be amusing to read some of the discussions through the press on this question. For the information of some of our readers we wish to state the following facts: More than 800 years ago, during the reign of Henry II of England, when conditions in Ireland were somewhat similar to conditions among the Indians in America at the time of the discovery by Columbus, occurred the conquest of Ireland. Ireland is an island—one of the British Isles—forming a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is divided into four provinces—Ulster, Leinster, Munster and Connaught. In area it is but a little larger than South Carolina, but has about three times South Carolina's population. The Irish are distinctively and emphatically Roman Catholics. The English and Scotch are mainly Protestants. The attempt of the English government near the close of the 16th century to introduce the Reformed faith and English institutions met with stubborn and determined opposition on the part of the Irish and stirred up great dissension in Ireland. A revolt on the part of the Irish chief, particularly those in Munster and Ulster, led to the confiscation of their lands, the King and parliament giving much of the lands to English settlers in Munster, and Scotch and English settlers in Ulster. After passing through various vicissitudes, Ireland, on Jan. 1, 1801, was united with Great Britain as an integral part of it and its policies of state have been dominated by English influence. The sympathies of the Pope of Rome and the entire Roman Catholic church have been with the Irish and against England. The situation at this time appears to be severely acute. The Ulsterites appear to be the most intelligent, courageous and influential people in Ireland. The passage by parliament of the bill as originally framed, is an impossibility. It would place the Ulsterites in practically the same situation occupied by the white people of South Carolina from 1869 to 1876, and would result in a bloody revolution, the end of which no one can predict. Many of the leading statesmen and clergymen, and some of the most influential people of all classes in England, sympathize openly with the Ulsterites. Some of the foremost generals in the English army, including Lord Roberts, will resign their com- missions rather than take up arms to enforce the law if passed. The sympathies of Protestants in America are with the Ulsterites. The people of Ulster will rebel against their government rather than submit. No one can tell what will be the outcome. May God save dear old England and bring her safely through this crisis. And we join with the English people in saying. God save the King. Since writing the foregoing we see that a compromise measure has been passed excluding Ulster from the provisions of the bill, but that does not give satisfaction. Thou Shalt Not Steal. In our issue of May 2nd we editorially referred to The Mutual Relief and Benevolent Association in deservedly commendatory terms. We observe that one of our contemporaries had the "check" to appropriate our article in its entirety except that it inserted its name in place of ours. We regard that as quite a compliment to us. Our esteemed has not yet made amends or even stated that it failed to place around the article the required quotation marks. As the little write-up was said to be even stronger than the advertisement inserted by our esteemed, for which it has already been paid, we expect our esteemed to publicly give us the credit or its check for half of the cash. Esteemed, there must be a "Rainy" day before you can go "Scott free." Congressman Lever has been putting in some good work at Washington, quite in contrast to Congressman Ragsdale, who appears to be no bigger than a peanut politician. The Smith-Lever Bill has been accepted by the House, and, on signature of President Wilson, became a law. Senator Hoke Smith took opportunity to manifest his Negro-hating spirit in the discussion, and succeeded in having the Bill as passed so formed as to prevent the Negro from having a just and proper recognition in this measure. But let us wait and bide our time. Right will eventually win. "Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity."

THE MINISTERIAL DEPARTMENT OF BENEDICT COLLEGE. From (Benedict) College Journal. The above caption may sound a bit bigger than this humble article may warrant. Let it go as it may. The fact is, Benedict College has a system of Theological Training that every minister of the gospel in South Carolina in particular might rightly feel glad over. For the College trained man, a B. D. course is provided; for the L. I. graduate, a B. Th. course is provided; for those who have not been so fortunate as to get such training that would make them eligible to these degrees, a course known as a "Ministerial Course" has been provided. It is about this latter provision I wish to say a word or two. For several years the said "Ministerial Course" has been reasonably attended, everything considered, by the brethren here and there over the State. Without calling their names, suffice it to say, that young and old ministers, experienced and inexperienced pastors, and right through the years of this course, pastors even of great religious powers and remarkably wide influences have been students of this "Ministerial Department." And it can be truthfully said, if their own unsolicited testimony and their actual work (and I might When your Blood Your Whole If you have any Blood or lay until it is too late but The Hot Spr When your Blood is Right, If you have any Blood or Skin Disease do not delay until it is too late but order To-Day The Hot Springs Remedy a complete and Positive Remedy for SYPHILIS, ECZEMA, ERY RHEUMATISM, and all other for Hot Springs physicians pronounce Remedy ever placed on the mark FULL COURSE TREATMENT Single Bo We prepare a Remedy for every y All Correspondence Hot Springs Me 827 1.2 Central Avenue, Why Wast That is the amount you t so-called Standard Typew SYPHILIS, ECZEMA, ERYSIPELAS, ACNE, MALARIA, RHEUMATISM, and all other forms of Blood and Skin Diseases.

The great results thus obtained have not only justified the sacrifices they underwent to remain here two, three, and four months at a session for about as many years, but also demonstrated beyond the slightest question the wisdom of this "Ministerial Department." In a word, this "Department" is very much akin to our regular B. Th. course. In essential points, it covers the reign of Theology as this is commonly understood and deals largely in every thing that pertains to the pastoral functions and relations. And without boasting, the goods are so simply given, so earnestly put, so completely handled that to those who are "in the game", this Ministerial Department is a very modest term as compared with what it actually is and is doing to make for South Carolina more efficient ministers of the Gospel. This department, in fact the whole system of Theological work here, in Benedict College is more hopeful, more promising for better things than ever. The writer knows where-of he speaks. Let us therefore have a larger and more representative patronage of this Course and thus prove ourselves more worthy of this exceptional opportunity. R. F. Lee.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is unfair, I claim, to ask an unpopular set of men to speak on an unpopular subject the last day of the Conference. It is to be remembered that most of our young men want to take up some trade or profession or to go to town to live easy, therefore you can't expect us to entertain the people. We like to follow the white people, dress line every day and ride around. We never stop to think that the white people had our help more than two centuries before we began the life that has counted for something. The Negro is, by nature, adapted to agriculture. We were prepared for this work on the banks of the Nile. When the cultured white people of Virginia stood in need of farm labor a band of Negroes were imported which were used in the cultivation of tobacco. The white people could not work, the Indians would not, so it was left for the people of our fatherland to contribute the muscle necessary for the agricultural advancement of the United States. For more than two centuries the majority of us spent our time on the farm under the strict supervision of white farmers, who had been well educated. It was in this capacity we learned the art and habit of industry, so that when we became emancipated we had some idea of farming from a business point of view, as well as an idea of cultivating the soil. I know of no business or trade which the Negro had been so well prepared to make his way in life as a free man. I say it without any just fear of contradiction that the reason why we, as a race, have been so much more successful as farmers is due to the training we received at the hand of intelligent masters. It is claimed that we spend every year $00,000,000 for medicine and advice from practicing physicians. This could be greatly reduced if we would go where we could live in a healthier atmosphere. The condition of the masses in towns and cities is far from that which is conducive to long life. Poorly built houses in unhealthy places, eating poor and half prepared food will shorten the life of any race, nation or individual. Statistics show that farmers live longer than any other people. Notwithstanding, a farm properly conducted requires business judgment, there is less risk, less worry, more out-of-door exercise where we can breathe more pure air and eat more pure food. It was not till the Negro began to enter the skilled trades and professions that he became a victim of consumption. As long as he stayed in the air he was healthy. The need of a practicing physician was seldom felt. A race spending two hundred years in one life and changing to another could expect no less. It takes time to become skilled in any trade or learned in any profession, or perfect in any business. The vast number of inventions that have facilitated moustry, thoughts that have moulded sentiment, the men who with brain held the masses in their hands, were not the efforts of a day. This being a free country, every person must meet competition in nearly every walk of life, the farm being the exception. I do not mean to be understood as meaning that the Negro is unable to compete with his white brother, because I believe the Negro has the ability, if properly trained, and can do anything for which he is by nature fitted. But we have to contend with prejudice which has made its way into labor unions. A race half intelligent and poverty-stricken cannot compete with a people superior in number, stronger intellectually, stronger financially, with the law of the country at his back. Our success must be along uncontested lines. While the records show that the Negro is gaining in other occupations, only goes to show that the trained Negro is gaining ground, but not to the point to insure stable success. There are 2,443,170 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits or 21 and 7-10 per cent. of all persons is by no means displeasing. There seems to be an unrest of leaving the farm and going to town to live by wits, but it seems the interest is greater among white than among Negroes. From 1000 to 1910, the increase of white farmers was 0.1-10 per cent., that of the Negro was 10 per cent. The Negro farm labor decreased numerically, while the Negro farmers increased. This is due to the fact that farm work is depreciated, the masses of colored people are made to feel that it is more honorable to move to town and follow some trade and half starve. The poor white man has neither the money or the brain to control Negro labor. Some leading white politicians arousing race hatred, make the poor white man feel humiliated working in the fields with Negroes. The well-to-do white man will not do manual work, at the same time prefers to live in town where he can educate his children. The poor white man finds employment in cotton factories. This leaves the farm to the Negro and the mule. Here is a chance to buy land and live unmolested. Our white friends are grieving over the race problem. Let us buy farm land, cultivate it intelligently and let our white friends talk politics and look dignified. Sell him all that he needs, in short, let us produce while he consumes. This will solve the problem. There are in the South several millions of acres of unimproved land which the Negro can buy and cultivate successfully, which, if we wait a few years, will be owned by some one else. The newspapers and the railroads are advertising the South in foreign countries with the hope of bringing people of foreign birth, foreign ideas, people who are in little or no sympathy with conditions in this country, for the sole purpose of maintaining white supremacy. In case this country is overrun with these ignorant people the question that ought to concern us is: where will we stand? We are practically debarred from white labor unions, hence the unimproved land is our place. Notwithstanding there is little or no inducement to the unthinking young Negro, the Negro must take that as his lot and thank God it is no worse. The National House of Representatives seems to be unfavorable to the progress of Negro agriculture, and in no State do we get all the encouragement necessary for intelligent farming among Negroes. But this is in no way due to the white people of character and ability. Anything done to discourage the Negro in his progress onward is the work of the politician whose stock is in arousing the batred of the poor, ignorant white people against colored people. Let it ever be remembered that the white people who have stood for progress among their own race have extended a helping hand to the Negro struggling, the Negro who wanted to rise. There are hundreds of farmers here and elsewhere whose success has opened the way for Negroes to stick to the farm, and whose career stands as possibilities. They owe their success to the kindly advice and financial help of their white friends. But we must not let any of these prove barriers in our way. To be sure, we must go the faster. We must hear in mind that we are no longer slaves, but free men, walking and thinking as other people. We, like the other people whom THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. God made, owe something to society. We are not here just to stay until we die. God made us for something. We can best serve the end for which we were created by doing that which we are best prepared to do. I believe that we can better teach our people the habits of industry and honesty on the farm. There are no tricks to be learned nor practiced on the farm. There are hundreds of Negro farmers who are making good. What they are doing others can do. Why remain in crowded tenement houses in cities, half starve, suffer from contagious diseases, and in a place where employment is hard to get, when in the rural districts labor is wanted and needed and must be had if material progress continues? In the South the people are waking up truck farming and cattle raising. The South is now the garden spot of the country. People from other sections are coming here finding fortunes in our unimproved land. The United States Government is spending thousands of dollars every year to eradicate the cattle tick and boll weevil. We must not let the opportunity slip now. To be sure, town property will enhance in value or depreciate as the town builds up or goes down. In the country, property enhances in proportion as we build up our individual property. A man in town builds a city home for six thousand dollars. A man in the country buys a farm for three thousand dollars. The man in the city can do nothing with his home but live in it. In case he loses out the home becomes worthless property. The man in the country invests just half the amount—three thousand dollars—has room for stock, for chickens, at the same time makes a good living. If you will pardon me for personal reference, I own both city and country property. Taking into consideration, insurance and taxes, country property is the cheapest you can buy. I ask my friends to leave the towns and cities, come to the country and help us clear the woods and make things go. Butler General. RACE RELATIONS DISCUSSED AT MEMPHIS. From (Benedict) College Journa1 Memphis, Tenn., May 7. - The co-operation of the races for the purpose of bettering conditions in the South, as discussed by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, of Jackson, Miss., and Booker T. Washington, attracted large crowds at the afternoon session of the Southern Sociological congress here to-day. Bishop Bratton pointed out the necessity of race cooperation in church work as a contributory factor in laying the foundation for the solution of the race problem. "The first point of cooperation for the two races, in this" he said, "is the example of a solid religious faith and justice: the second is the points of contact in their churches and schools and sharing with them the benefits of our great public school system. But above all is to live the Gospel." The Bishop took to task extremists of both races. Following the address of Bish-Bratton, former Gov. Mann, who occupied a seat on the platform, called on R. R. Moton, a leading Negro of Virginia, to lead the colored portion of the audience in singing "Climb, Climb Up Higher," and "Down on the Suwanee River," brought rounds of applause. Booker Washington discussing race cooperation in securing law and order, pointed to the sociological congress as the best means of bringing the two races to a better understanding of each other, as well as the needs and aspirations of the Negro. His subject was "How can the Negro in the South do his part in using this Congress to bring about better conditions." He said: "We can use this organization to spread an influence among our people for the prevention of World's Best Pianos And PLAYER=PIANQS SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY TRADE MARK THIS TRADE MARK SIGNIFIES SUPERIOR MUSICAL QUALITY WALLACE PIANO CO.

In spite of all that may be said, in palliation, there is too much crime committed by our people in all parts of the country. We should let the world understand we are not going to hide crime because it is committed by black people." To You, Mr. Stock Owner Would you own a horse and let him suffer and be satisfied? Why the horse needs a dentist as well as the human being does. If you have his teeth kept up it will save other trouble on the horse. When this is done the animal will eat better and give you better service. Do you know that you give away better stock than what you buy every year because you don't call a veterinary surgeon and ask his opinion about it. As long as you do so it will keep you buying stock. Our business is to take care of the stock and his owner. The white people have us to work the same ones over again and then they sell them right back to you for the same price you first paid. Why can't you do the same thing and save the price of another horse or mule? We are called all over this county to do so for the white people and you are paying for it. It is time to wake up and get busy. We will do the same thing for you. Yours truly. Veterinary Surgeon and Animal Dentist. 1518 Williams Street, Columbia, S. C. Phone 2677.

For more than two centuries the majority of us spent our time on the farm under the strict supervision of white farmers, who had been well educated. It was in this capacity we learned the art and habit of industry, so that when we became emancipated we had some idea of farming from a business point of view, as well as an idea of cultivating the soil. I know of no business or trade which the Negro had been so well prepared to make his way in life as a fee man. I say it without any just fear of contradiction that the reason why we, as a race, have been so much more successful as farmers is due to the training we received at the hand of intelligent masters. It is claimed that we spend every year $60,000,000 for medicine and advice from practicing physicians. This could be greatly reduced if we would go where we could live in a healthier atmosphere. The condition of the masses in towns and cities is far from that which is conducive to long life. Poorly built houses in unhealthy places, eating poor and half prepared food will shorten the life of any race, nation or individual. Statistics show that farmers live longer than any other people. Notwithstanding, a farm properly conducted requires business judgment, there is less risk, less worry, more out-of-door exercise where we can breathe more pure air and eat more pure food. It was not till the Negro began to enter the skilled trades and professions that he became a victim of consumption. As long as he stayed in the air he was healthy. The need of a practicing physician was seldom felt. A race spending two hundred years in one life and changing to another could expect no less. It takes time to become skilled in any trade or learned in any profession, or perfect in any business. The vast number of inventions that have facilitated industry, thoughts that have mouled sentiment, the men who with brain held the masses in their hands, were not the efforts of a day. This being a free country, every person must meet competition in nearly every walk of life, the farm being the exception. I do not mean to be understood as meaning that the Negro is unable to compete with his white brother, because I believe the Negro has the ability, if properly trained, and can do anything for which he is by nature fitted. But we have to contend with prejudice which has made its way into labor unions. A race half intelligent and poverty-sticken cannot compete with a people superior in number, stronger intellectually, stronger financially, with the law of the country at his back. Our success must be along uncontested lines. While the records show that the Negro is gaining in other occupations, only goes to show that the trained Negro is gaining ground, but not to the point to insure stable success. There are 2,143,176 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits or 21 and 7-10 per cent. of all persons is by no means displeasing. There seems to be an unrest of leaving the farm and going to town to live by wits, but it seems the interest is greater among white than among Negroes. From 1900 to 1910, the increase of white farmers was 9 1-10 per cent., that of the Negro was 19 per cent. The Negro farm labor decreased numerically, while the Negro farmers increased. This is due to the fact that farm work is depreciated, the masses of colored people are made to feel that it is more honorable to move to town and follow some trade and half starve. The poor white man has neither the money or the brain to control Negro labor. Some leading white politicians arousing race hatred, make the poor white man feel humiliated working in the fields with Negroes. The well-to-do white man will not do manual work, at the same time prefers to live in town where he can educate his children. The poor white man finds employment in cotton factories. This leaves the farm to the Negro and the mule. Here is a chance to buy land and live unmolested. Our white friends are grieving over the race problem. Let us buy farm land, cultivate it intelligently and let our white friends talk politics and look dignified. Sell him all that he needs, in short, let us produce while he consumes. This will solve the problem. There are in the South several millions of acres of unimproved land which the Negro can buy and cultivate successfully, which, if we wait a few years, will be owned by some one else. The newspapers and the railroads are advertising the South in foreign countries with the hope of bringing people of foreign birth, foreign ideas, people who are in little or no sympathy with conditions in this country, for the sole purpose of maintaining white supremacy. In case this country is overrun with these ignorant people the question that ought to concern us is: where will we stand? We are practically debarred from white labor unions, hence the unimproved land is our place. Notwithstanding there is little or no inducement to the unthinking young Negro, the Negro must take that as his lot and thank God it is no worse. The National House of Representatives seems to be unfavorable to the progress of Negro agriculture, and in no State do we get all the encouragement necessary for intelligent farming among Negroes. But this is in no way due to the white people of character and ability. Anything done to discourage the Negro in his progress onward is the work of the politician whose stock is in arousing the hatred of the poor, ignorant white people against colored people. Let it ever be remembered that the white people who have stood for progress among their own race have extended a helping hand to the Negro struggling, the Negro who wanted to rise. There are hundreds of farmers here and elsewhere whose success has opened the way for Negroes to stick to the farm, and whose career stands as possibilities. They owe their success to the kindly advice and financial help of their white friends. But we must not let any of these prove barriers in our way. To be sure, we must go the faster. We must bear in mind that we are no longer slaves, but free men, walking and thinking as other people. We, like the other people whom THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. God made, owe something to society. We are not here just to stay until we die. God made us for something. We can best serve the end for which we were created by doing that which we are best prepared to do. I believe that we can better teach our people the habits of industry and honesty on the farm. There are no tricks to be learned nor practiced on the farm. There are hundreds of Negro farmers who are making good. What they are doing others can do. Why remain in crowded tenement houses in cities, half starve, suffer from contagious diseases, and in a place where employment is hard to get, when in the rural districts labor is wanted and needed and must be had if material progress continues? In the South the people are waking up truck farming and cattle raising. The South is now the garden spot of the country. People from other sections are coming here finding fortunes in our unimproved land. The United States Government is spending thousands of dollars every year to eradicate the cattle tick and boll weevil. We must not let the opportunity slip now. To be sure, town property will enhance in value or depreciate as the town builds up or goes down. In the country, property enhances in proportion as we build up our individual property. A man in town builds a city home for six thousand dollars. A man in the country buys a farm for three thousand dollars. The man in the city can do nothing with his home but live in it. In case he loses out the home becomes worthless property. The man in the country invests just half the amount—three thousand dollars—has room for stock, for chickens, at the same time makes a good living. If you will pardon me for personal reference, I own both city and country property. Taking into consideration insurance and taxes, country property is the cheapest you can buy. I ask my friends to leave the towns and cities, come to the country and help us clear the woods and make things go. Butler General. RACE RELATIONS DISCUSSED AT MEMPHIS. From (Benedict) College Journa Memphis, Tenn., May 7.—The co-operation of the races for the purpose of bettering conditions in the South, as discussed by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, of Jackson, Miss., and Booker T. Washington, attracted large crowds at the afternoon session of the Southern Sociological congress here to-day. Bishop Bratton pointed out the necessity of race cooperation in church work as a contributory factor in laying the foundation for the solution of the race problem. "The first point of cooperation for the two races, in this" he said, "is the example of a solid religious faith and justice; the second is the points of contact in their churches and schools and sharing with them the benefits of our great public school system. But above all is to live the Gospel." The Bishop took to task extremists of both races. Following the address of Bish-Bratton, former Gov. Mann, who occupied a seat on the platform, called on R. R. Moton, a leading Negro of Virginia, to lead the colored portion of the audience in singing "Climb, Climb Up Higher," and "Down on the Suwanee River," brought rounds of applause. Booker Washington discussing race cooperation in securing law and order, pointed to the sociological congress as the best means of bringing the two races to a better understanding of each other, as well as the needs and aspirations of the Negro. His subject was "How can the Negro in the South do his part in using this Congress to bring about better conditions." He said: "We can use this organization to spread an influence among our people for the prevention of World's Best Pianos And PLAYER=PIANQS SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY crime. In spite of all that may be said, in palliation, there is too much crime committed by our people in all parts of the country. We should let the world understand we are not going to hide crime because it is committed by black people." No need send to the mail order houses for what you want. We have it here at the same price, if not cheaper. You owe us a trial anyway. Send a list of what you require and let us figure on it. We have specially laid ourselves out to execute mail orders and you may rely on prompt attention. Our PAINT department is unexcelled in this country. To You, Mr. Stock Owner Would you own a horse and let him suffer and be satisfied? Why the horse needs a dentist as well as the human being does. If you have his teeth kept up it will save other trouble on the horse. When this is done the animal will eat better and give you better service. Do you know that you give away better stock than what you buy every year because you don't call a veterinary surgeon and ask his opinion about it. As long as you do so it will keep you buying stock. Our business is to take care of the stock and his owner. The white people have us to work the same ones over again and then they sell them right back to you for the same price you first paid. Why can't you do the same thing and save the price of another horse or mule? We are called all over this county to do so for the white people and you are paying for it. It is time to wake up and get busy. We will do the same thing for you. Yours truly, Palmetto Meat Market J. S. DENT, Prop'r.

The annual commencement of Allen university was concluded last night with the annual election of the teachers. The commencement exercises have been in progress for several days. The graduating exercises of the college were held yesterday in Coppin hall. Great crowds of negroes from different sections of the State attended. The most prominent speaker at the commencement was John Mitchel, Jr., editor of the Richmond Plannet and president of the Mechanics and Savings bank of Richmond. Mitchel delivered the address to the alumni association. He is a speaker of reputation and the only negro member of the National Bankers' association. He then began the administration of the college, which has been founded by the Rev. W. W. Beckett, native of Charleston. President Beckett's administration has been very fruitful and the general opinion in the State of the college is good. Dr. Beckett was a candidate for bishop in the A. M. E. church at the last general conference, which met in Kansas City. He held the office of secretary of missions and has traveled extensively throughout the United States in the interest of his people. He was immediately relected president of the college. The trustee at its first session received from the reports of the presiding elders and other members of the board $10,300, which was raised in a special spring rally for the college. Allen university has no endowment fund. It has a unique scheme of raising funds to maintain the college through the membership of the A. M. E. church in this State. From the report of the secretary of the board of trustees over $25,000 were the annual receipts for the scholastic year. The trustees have purchased 54 acres of land near the city for the establishment of an annex to the college plant in which many phases of industrial education and agriculture in its broadest sense may be given the students. It is rumored that the board may sell the present property of the college in Waverley and move the college plant of school to the new site. Whether this will be finally agreed upon by the leaders is yet speculative. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. G. K. Spearman of Camden, N. J., yesterday by the faculty and trustees. Forty-two students were graduated with the L. I. degree, one with B. D., and one with A. B. The faculty for the ensuing year is as follows: The Rev. W. W. Beckett, D. D., president; C. G. Garrett, vice president; Frazella Campbell, professor of German, Latin and Spanish; O. A. Combs, professor of Greek; Richard E. Brogdon, professor of mathematics; A. B. Johnson, M. D., professor of science; O. L. Lavalle, professor of English; L. E. Lambert, normal teacher; graded school department, A. V. T. McDaniel, Josiphine Simmons, Abbie Johnson, C. E. Wilson; domestic art, E. L. Sightler; domestic science, E. Purvis. The business of the college is managed by the president and the executive committee of trustees in the absence of the regular board. Bishop W. D. Chappelle is vice president of the executive committee, Green Jackson of Columbia is secretary and the Rev. D. H. Johnson of Abbeville is treasurer. Bishop L. J. Coppin is president of the board and also presiding bishop of North and South Carolina. Collin's Department Store 225 Men Wanted BENEDICT LABORATORIES. The chemical laboratory has 96 individual lockers. Each student has his key and is held responsible for the contents of the locker. There is good space for four persons, and plans made for ten. Eighteen persons work in the laboratory at one time, each having his own Bunsen burner on his desk and the water within his reach just over the lead trough that carries the waste liquids. All dilute and common liquid are on the individual shelf, while those of a more important nature are upon a common shelf in an alphabetical order thus saving the student much time in performing his experiments. When he strikes an experiment that calls for apparatus not in his locker, he fills out a borrowed list and gets the same from the instructor for the said experiment, returning it in good condition when through with it. So, the plan is for the student to do experiments that are given and the material is always on hand if it can be had. The biological laboratory is in good working condition and work is now going on in it. There are ten compound microscopes and six dissecting microscopes for the use of the college student. There are slides provided for the students when fresh material cannot be had. Regular laboratory tables are now being placed, and plans made for charts and maps for all classes in botany and zoology. The Physical laboratory is nearing completion. Already the gas burners for individual work have been placed and the tables are being constructed. The laboratory is equipped with apparatus to perform any of the experiments called for by the text. The students have done great work in this department this year, especially with the pulleys heat, light, electricity.

If the departments are supplemented each year as they have been for the past three years, Benedict will soon have what she says she wants, that, that will fit the boy or girl with just the kind of science he wants and needs and will feel proud that she can introduce the several students to nature as she without such equipment would be unable to do so.
