He held the audience spellbound. His discourse was enjoyed by all present. Sunday night Dr. P. A. Calahan, of Darlington, preached an excellent sermon from 1 Psa. 2. He certainly interested his hearers. Dr. Watson was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. W. G. Venting at the M. E. stationage, and Dr. Callahan was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Chappell, on Nichols t. J. S.

C., was among the visitors to the Convention. Dr. Maloy is an ex-pastor of Springfield Baptist church, where the Convention was held, and has many warm friends in this city. Dr. Maloy is an old friend of ours and we were glad to see him and see that he was looking the picture of health. We could write more, but space will not permit. You will hear SHELTON----OWEN. One of the very impressive and noted events in our social history was the marriage of Miss Frances Edelle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Shelton, to Mr. Toussaint L'Overture Owen, a leading young citizen of Columbia, which took place at the well-appointed home of the bride's parents, Park street at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, June 3d, in the presence of one of the most representative and cultured assemblage of Columbia's social circle. Rev. M. G. Johnson, of Ladson Presbyterian church, officiated. In their dress and ornaments the lady guests presented a beautiful picture of good taste and refinement. The gentlemen, most of them young men, presented a hopeful assemblage of knightly citizens. Grouped in the splendidly arranged parlors with the bridal party in the center, under the sound of the solemnly pronounced marriage ceremony and the sweet seductive strains of wedding music, rendered by Prof. F. H. Thomas, and Miss Thomasina O. Pinkney a beautiful picture was presented to the eye and an inspiration given to the soul. Thus were two of our young people united till death. Treat this commencement season in our city. The attendants were the bride's s. or Miss Olive Shelton and Miss Cam. or Daniels with Mr. Hankins (Presbyterian). Mr. The bride was handsomely gowned in white ivory satin draped with white chantily lace and caught with pearls. Miss Olive Shelton was arrayed in clerise crepe meteor, with lace and pearls. Miss Daniels was attired in blue crepe meteor with lace and pearls. The bride-maids carried crooks draped with chiffon to match their costumes. The numerous and handsome presents represented all features of household and ornamental life: in their value and selection is given a splendid tribute to the worth of this newly wedded couple. After the ceremony ices and cake were served, blended with congratulations and felicitations. Amidst the hearty good wishes of the guests the bridal couple left for Charlotte, N. C., to spend a portion of their honey-moon season. We bespeak for this worthy couple a life of united love, health and prosperity. MISS BATTESE, AUTHORESS AND COMPSOER. Another star appears in the literary sphere in the person of Miss Harriet F. Edwards Battese of Columbia, a student of Harmony. As authoress and composer she has presented the public with two meritorious lyrics "Love Means Chess," a clever, song, and, "Luna, You Great Big Beautiful Dear" expressing very high ideals. Miss Battese may truly be called a genins for she has many accomplishments. Designing modiste, millinery, embroidery—in domestic science. She was graduated in 1910 from the Episcopal school of this city as saluttatorian of the class. She rendered a sublime oration. Miss Battese has been peculiarly afflicted for more than a year, but is gradually improving. Some of her songs will be used at the Women's Federation in Sumter. The Indicator does Job Printing! Orangeburg, S. C., June 9. We have had one or two good showers of rain this week and from present indications we are expecting more tonight, and with these and other favorable conditions crops, we think, are safe and there is no immediate cause for apprehension The Good Samaritans ran an excursion from this city to Columbia over the S. A. L. on last Thursday and from all reports the trip was both successful and enjoyable. The city on the Congaree, like the city on the Edisto, will always give you a good time, for in these are to be found some of the best people in America. Hon. A. D. Dantzler, one of our leading farmers and at one time the largest negro landowner in Orangeburg county, was in the city a few days ago and reported a most thrilling experience which he and his son, Dr. Lemuel, had with his stock bull. The bull, for some cause, possibly best known to bullology, suddenly became enraged and without notice undertook to put Mr. Dantzler out of commission. How well the bull succeeded will be told further on. However, you'll remember Mr. A. D. Dantzler as having several times run for Congress from the seventh Congressional District and was defeated as many times as he ran, but not until after he had made his contests. Now, in this bull contest Mr. Dantzler seemed to have been wholly unprepared and as a result soon found himself on the ground, having been knocked down by the infuriated animal, which proceeded to paw and gore Mr. Dantzler, who was simply from this you will see that Mr. Dantzler was not the aggressor, but was simply acting in self-defense, because he did jump the fence, leaving the situation with his son, Dr. Lemuel, who has had no experience in congressional contests and very little in fighting an enraged bull. Thus Dr. Lemuel soon found himself on the ground with the bull in charge, having no respect whatever for pharmaceutical ability. The doctor is now compelled to call upon his rescued father to return the kindness and the same is granted, whereby father and son are masters of the situation and except for a few scratches and lacerated clothes they are Dantzlers just the same. Now, Esquire Moorer has heretofore had chrage of Mr. Dantzler's congressional contests, and whether he has been consulted or retained in this case is among my unknown quantities. However, after the fight Mr. Dantzler held a short consultation with his son, who is a recent graduate of Meharry Medical College, as to what disposition should be made of "fighting bull." Dr. Dantzler, who seems to be well versed in modern pharmacy, prescribed a dose of hot lead, but to this the father disagreed, and with a more economic view for a final solution suggested that the bull be sold and the proceeds go to "cotton choppers." Dr. Nix, District Deputy Grand Chancellor of his domain, is now visiting his lodges and arranging for the meeting of the Grand Lodge, which meets in Abbeville, S. C., July 27th, 1914. Please send THE INDICATOR to the following names: Rev. E. W. Houser, Orangeburg, S. C.; Dr. J. M. Brown, Orangeburg, S. C.; E. W. Brown, Orangeburg, S. C.; Hon. T. M. Raysor, Orangeburg, S. C., and to Postmaster D. W. I shall have something to say concerning these gentlemen in my next letter to THE INDICATOR Yours, OUR CAMDEN NEWS LETTER. Camden, June 8th. -Another commencement week was witnessed in Camden last week when the Jackson Graded school conducted its closing exercises. The exercises began Wednesday June 3rd inst., with the graduating exercises and declamational contest. The class of 1914 consisted of Katie Lee Boykin, Corinne Gen- The class honor medal was won by Katie Lee Boykin and the second honor prize went to Corine Geneva Roach. These children are very young, but they spoke well and reflected much credit. On this occasion some beautiful choruses were rendered by the choral class and a vocal solo by Corinne G. Roach. The annual address was eloquently delivered by Rev. J. A. Davison, pastor of the Camden Baptist church (white). The contest medal was won by Ruth E. Alexander class of 1915. She recited "Charlie Machree." The second prize was won by Geneva Cureton, who rendered, "Pictures of Memory," and the third prize was awarded Thomas J. Haithcock who rendered, "Twenty Years Ago." Friday evening June 5 inst the general exhibition was rendered by the intermediate and primary grades. These are said to be the best exercises ever given by this school. Quite a number of the white people were present and expressed themselves as being pleased in every way. The scholarship prizes were presented by Mr. C. W. Burchmore Co., Supt of Education and Principal C. C. Lowery. The contest prizes were presented by Rev. B. S. A. Williams. The certificates were presented by Prof. R. F. Simpson, Sant City Schools. The school had an enrolment of 521 with the ten day enrollment of 470. During this session the school purchased a $250 piano and at present the amount due on the instrument does not exceed $65. Nearly $40 of the amouet paid on the piano was raised during the closing exercises. Aside from this the school has purchased a good ice cream freezer and dishes and spoons for serving refreshments. From this information, the friends and patrons of the school can decide upon its success. The school auditorium was packed both nights by people from for and near. Some of the distinguished attendants upon the exercises were: Rev. G. B. Tillof Lynchburg, Mr. W. S. Williams of Horatio and Mrs. Julia Douglass of Biddle University. A HOSPITAL FOR COLORED PEOPLE OF S. C. ASSURED The Rev, Richard Carroll aftre canvassing for four hours last Wednesday, in Columbia secured nine hundred dollars for the hospital, and has in sight twelve hundred more which he is sure to get before the end of this week. These large amounts come, of course, from white people. One man gave five hundred, and the others one hundred each. The following colored persons have sent in their subscriptions: Hon. E. H. Deas of Darlington, and Madame C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, Ind. As already reported, smaller amounts have been donated by white and colored people and placed in the Peoples Bank, care of Mr. J. A. Hoyt. Mr. J. A. Roach is assistant treasurer of funds contributed by colored people. Mine, C. J, Walker contributed twenty-five dollars and many gave more. It is hoped that all colored people will contribute from one to twenty-five dollars. Rev. Carroll's object is to raise fifty thousand dollars for a sanitarium and hospital to be built in the city of Columbia. Subscribe for The Indicator.

THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL AT ALLEN UNIVERSITY. The commencement program of the Theological school at Allen University was an unique demonstration of the class of work being done by the professors in the department. The graduation oration of Rev. Mercer L. Ramsey, of Greenwood, was the essence of oratory, elocution, and logic. That he held his audience spell-bound on commencement day is well said. He deserves the degree of B.D. which was conferred upon him. No department in Allen is doing more excellent work and reaches a greater need in the very life of the race and church than the theological For 6 years Prof. C. H. Rembert has had the deanship of Allen University and his administration is one of constructive work. Some able young men are in the field representing the work done in the department. Dr. Rembert is assisted in this good work by Prof. T. B. Nelson, who has the chair of Hebrew and Didactic Theology. Bob Nelson is a real good scholar, quiet and unassuming. The support of the theological department is growing. One thousand dollars is given annually now from the general church and, it is sald, that each conference in the state will give a scholarship that the scope of theological training may be more farreaching as it affects the pulpits of the A. M. E. church in South Carolina. The commencement exercises at Allen last week were the best ever given out there, even the enemies of Negro institutions manned solely by Negroes, say so. In my letter to The State a few days ago I made a mistake as to the number of graduates. I am reliably informed that there were 48 to graduate from the L. I. course, two given degrees of A. B., one the degree of B. D., and six certificates from the department of domestic arts. I. M. A. Big Rally at the Air Dome Theatre Sunday. Bishop Chappelle to Speak.

We would like to know whether, when Mayor Grace left the News and Courier office he was doing a turkey strut or a turkey trot. The Mayor avers he was doing the turkey strut; judging from what our esteemed Charleston contempary says about it he was doing either a graceful or disgraceful turkey trot. Rev. W. R.

Editorial Correspondence. Greenville, June 6. I am at the Baptist State Convention, which met in the Springfield Baptist church on Wednesday. It is composed of a fine body of men. The program was too full to give satisfaction. S. of the visitors, I among them, would be given but a few minutes to speal, to the Convention. Dividing my time between the Convention and THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR subscribers, I have been more than ordinarily busy. As the Rev. Mr. Watkins, the Secretary of the Convention, says, he will forward to us for publication a full account of the proceedings of the Convention, I shall omit a detailed statement of what transpired. All the old officers were re-elected. This is said to be one of the best sessions in the history of the Convention. It was also one of the best attended. The Springfield Baptist church is a handsome, modern brick structure, capable of seating comfortable about 750 people. It booked Thursday and Friday nights, as though 1,000 persons were packed in it. ```markdown ``` Woman is becoming quite a factor in the Baptist Convention, more so than in any of the other religious bodies, except the Presbyterians. One can easily observe that the Baptists are making rapid strides along the path of education. The number of scholarly as well as eloquent men is on the increase. Dr. Goodwin, our host, appears to be doing a splendid work in Green- the first entitlement of the Convention seem to give general satisfaction. The night of my arrival I was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Martin and had as my companions our Columbia Dr. Goodwin and Deacon Goode, of Second Calvary. We talked one another to sleep. The next morning my long-time friends Mr. and Mrs. "Phil" Parker, whom I had known for 37 years, and to whose home I had been assigned, took charge of me till I left. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are excellent people, and entertained us in fine style. THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR has been going to their home regularly for some time. No one in Greenville can entertain better than Mr. and Mrs. Parker and Miss Parker Thirty-seven years ago the last of this month, immediately after my graduation from the South Carolina University, with no definite plan for my future. I went to Greenville to find something to do. I found a country summer school and a home in a Baptist family among whom I found life-long friends. Two years later I became the principal of the Greenville public school. I made it a graded school. I took it with 160 pupils. Ten years later, when I left Greenville to become pastor of the Silver Hill M. E. church and later principal of the Spartanburg public school also, I left two schools, of the larger of which I was principal, and, I think, over 600 pupils. I want to speak of four of the teachers (two of whom had been my pupils also) whom I had with me there Mrs. Georgia CantleJohnson Mrs. Mamie Poole Candi John Sloan Mr and M g hap our county and one of the most modest and ladylike. She has raised a family of boys and girls, two of whom, Dr. Charlie Johnson and Miss Lucile Johnson, have more than a State-wide reputation. Mrs. Manie Poole-Sloan is the daughter of Rev. Gabriel Poole, the founder and first pastor of the Springfield Baptist church. It is no flattery to say that she was one of the quietest gentlest and most pious women I had ever had the pleasure of being associated with. Mrs. Sloaa still sings in the church choir and teaches school. Katie Fair was the recognized leader in social, educational and religious matters in Greenville. I have met but few women like her anywhere. She was a born leader. Her uncle, who was also her adopted father, was in good circumstances and spared nothing to give Miss Katie and his oldest daughter. Miss Myra, a good education and to fit them for social position. What Katie said and did in the home or what Katie said and did in the Sunday School or in the literary society usually went. Twice married, and now a widow with four children, every one a credit to her, having had to drink deep from the cup of sorrow, and yet with grace and submission, and faith in God. She is at her post in the same school where I found her and where I left her when I moved to Spartanburg. Miss Emma Johnson is in a class by herself. She was never fond of male society. She loved music and loved her books. She loved little children, and is one of the best primary teachers in the State. For a time she was an inmate of my home. She was always a devout Christian. She is still teaching where I left her. She is in feeble health, and I learn, has an assistant, receives half pay, and is at liberty to stay at home whenever she feels unable or indisposed to come to school. If she were a white teacher the school authorities would retire her with an allowance sufficient to give her a reasonably comfortable support. Her salary has never been large and I doubt seriously if she has saved anything worth mentioning. During my principalship in Greenville a revival broke out in the school, and scores of the pupils were converted. Mrs. Georgie Johnson was the only unconverted teacher among us. She, too, got under conviction at the school. The three other teachers whom I have named and one other, Miss Annie Arnold, and myself, converted the school into a meeting house, and got around her and the other mourners among the larger scholars, and sang and prayed with them. It was hard work. My recollection is she because so sick—sin sick—that she had to stay home on a Friday and "got religion" on Saturday. Sunday, when she came to church we church folks (Wesley M. E. church) had one of the biggest shouts Greenville had ever seen. Soon after that the brethren told me I was called to preach. I kicked like a Texas pony, but I finally caved in, and I became a preacher. I wish I had time to speak of some of the former pupils and patrons, and other friends whom I have met. In the language of Col. Rockevelt, I have certainly had "a bully time." Of course, I had to go to see our two Greenville correspondents, Mr. Butler and Miss Glascow. Miss Hattie is going to take a new start in her efforts for THE INDICATOR, and Mr. Butler will not be a whit behind her. I find THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR very popular in Greenville. Mr. Butler and Miss Glascow will make the subscribers very populous in Greenville. This letter his been written under difficulties I need not burden the readers with mentioning. I can only say in the language of a young colored gentleman of slavery days who had gone to his young master to have him write a love letter for him. After the aforesaid young boss had written about as much as I have, he wearily said, "Well, Sam, is that all?" Sam replied, "Well, Boss, just close by saying 'please 'scuse bad writin' and spellin'." Just the Thing for Teachers. The State Summer School, advertisement of which appears in another column of this paper will be largely attended by teachers from all portions of the state. The State College at Orangeburg is an ideal place for this gathering of teachers, being spendidly equipped for agricultural and vocational work, which will be attractive features of the courses outlined. Some of the leading and most experienced instructors of the state have been invited to places on the faculty and facilities for their work have been provided for in appropriations by the Legislature and the Slater Fund. The State Department of Education has given its hearty endorsement to this project, and several of the county superintendents have signified that they will not re-issue certificates to teachers who do not attend. These incentives should largely increase the enrollment, and it is hoped that all progressive teachers will make arrangements to be on hand when the roll is called on June 29th. The school will last four weeks. School Closing Concert. There will be given at Jones Chapel A. M. E. Zion church on Blossom Street. A School Closing Concert.

Miss Emma Gene Pool Atlanta, is spending the week here with Misses Sarah B. Henderson and Shellie Gantt. Some important announcements were left out this week on on account of help and the rush of business together. Miss Julia A. Robinson of St. Matthews spent the past week he a guest of Misses Hattie Wallace and Florence Cleaves. Prof. and Mrs. M. L. Hawkins have returned to their home after closing a successful school year LaGrange, Georgia, for the summer. Little Misses Theo. Suber and Alberta Murphay leaves for Leapharts Saturday morning to spend a few days with young friends. Messrs J. T. Thompson, Ike Thompson, and Alexander Evans left for Asheville, N. C. June 7. The Thompson brothers will return to the city in a few days. Seymour Carroll, editor of the State College Review, Orangeburg is here working in the interest of State A. and M. College. He is a great State "booster." Our people are beginning to realize that it is cheaper, less troublesome, and accomplishes more good for them; in fact, save them time and money to have their notices published in The Southern Indicator, than to pursue the cumbersome and expensive method of writing and sending these notices to the churches. At the special meeting of the Ministerial Alliance held on Thursday afternoon a committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions touching the late Rev. I. W. Simons, and President C. C. Scott was empowered to appoint a committee to arrange for a reception and banquet in honor of the Rev. Dr. N. C. Cleaves, recently elected a bishop of the C M. E. Church. The indications are that this will be one of the grandest affairs of its kind ever held in South Carolina. Bishop Cleaves is justly held in very high esteem by everybody in Columbia. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE THE FRIEND OF SINNERS. Luke 18: 9-14; 19:1-10—June 14. "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."—Mark 2:17. THE parable of today's lesson reveals the heart attitude of some of the Pharisees and of the despised publicans. Two men went up to the Temple to pray. From God's standpoint both were sinners, and needed forgiveness of sins. But the Pharisee trusted in his own imperfect works, and asked no forgiveness; the publican, however, realized his bleemishes and prayed for mercy. We must not get the impression that God is more blessed with those who live in sin than with those who strive to the best of their ability to live in harmony with His Law, the contrary, we must all realize that we come short of perfection and need Divine mercy. The sinner who recognizes this fact is more pleasing to God than is the more moral person who fails to see his blemishes. The Pharisee Publius Jesus referred to this same case of the Pharisees at another time, saying, "I came not to call the right but sinners, to repentance." He thus sought to call attention to the fact that although the Pharisees claimed to be righteous, yet they were not so. Until they should learn that they and all other members of the Adamic race were sin sick and needed the remedy which only the Redeemer can give, they were not in condition to come to Him for forgiveness. Not realizing their need, the Pharisees did not become Jesus' disciples, and thereby missed a great blessing. On the contrary, the majority of His followers were publicans and sinners—people who had not been living proper lives, but who earnestly acknowledged their faults, turned from sin, accepted healing from the Good Physician, and became His followers.

DUNTON, President 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 not? We are called all over the country to do so for the white people and you are needing for it.
