Southern Indicator

The Southern Indicator Several Hundred Women Gather At Darlington In The Fifth Annual Session Of The Colored Women's Clubs----Next Annual Session Will Be Held In Columbia June 1916. Orangeburg, June 22.—With the falling of the president's gavel and the singing "God be with you till we meet again," ended the greatest annual meeting of The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, in the history of the state. Darlington celebrated in gala fashion the successful ending of the meetings by, giving a great banquet Friday night. The reports showed nearly $4,600 raised for all purposes during the fiscal year. Over $600 were raised for educational purposes. There were 50 clubs reporting this year, where only about half so many reported last year. Many prominent visitors were present from all parts of the country or border states. Splendid reports were read by writers, given careful study and the federation work. President Marion B. Wilkinson's annual address was a masterpiece. Mrs. Anna Andrews, paper on recollection of the National Federation that met at Wilberforce was fine. Mrs. N. H. Collins' paper on Why The Federation? was all that could be desired. The Sunlight Club of Orangeburg led all other clubs of the state in the amount of money raised during the year showing a total of $473. Charleston was a close second with $341. No one could possibly appreciate the amount and kind of work carried on by the Federated clubs of the state unless he were present at the annual meetings. The sessions began with reports being made from clubs from all parts of the state. These reports continued to come in until the last meeting Friday. The conservation of these women as shown in their reports, is marvelous. One is made to believe that at last the women of the state and the South have struck their predecessor Dr. C. T. Wahlsam of the pre- Floyd are to such a nature that Floyd are to question of time Augusta, a question of cratered Clubs will cover owe as the du gatherings of men. South Carolina's women have taken a foremost part in the great work of reviving the Rural Schools of the state. Long ago her women of great vision and foresight saw that in order to have a superior civilization, built upon a firm basis the children must be trained properly in their primary schools. A careful investigation revealed the fact that the schools of this state were the poorest in the country, when it came to the colored people. In many places it was found that the people did not even receive one whole month's training. The schools were found to be in the hands of very incompetent teachers. The federation set about to improve these unhappy conditions. The result is: in many rural communities the local clubs have extended the terms of the schools and in some instances "Home Economics" and "Agriculture" have been added to the course. A young lady will give her entire time next year to fostering of this Extension feature of the federation's work. Her salary and traveling expenses will be met by the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for colored youths at Orangeburg. The federation went on record as being heartily in favor of a State Reformatory for Negro boys. A committee was appointed to meet similar committees COLUMBIA, S. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1915 from the Palmetto Medical Association and the State Business League. A standing committee was organized with Dr. J. H. Leevy of Florence, chairman, and Prof. Benj. F. Hubert of Orangeburg, secretary. This committee is empowered to wait upon the governor of the state at some time to be arranged by the secretary and lay the claims of the Negro boy before him and solicit his support in the campaign to be waged for this much need reformatory. Committees will be appointed in every county of the state who will wait upon their representatives and secure their co-operation in the effort to be made. Much can be said in praise of the way Darlington entertained the delegates. The delegates one and all were of the opinion that the federation had never been so well entertained before. Mesdames Collins, Gordon, Jenkins and the pastors of the churches Revs. Calahan, Scott, and Rev. Perrin with the host of others who assisted, seemed never to tire in trying to make things pleasant for the visitors. The slogan for the coming year is "A club in every town and community of the state. and these clubs represented at the meeting in Columbia June 1916." On to Columbia in 1916! What club will carry the best report? BUDGET OF NEWS FROM GAFFNEY. Gaffney, June 2. -On the 9th and 10th. inst. Morning Star Chapter number thirty. O. E.

Washington, June 21.—The supreme court, in what is considered one of the most important race decisions in history, today anuled as unconstitutional the Oklahoma constitutional amendment and the Annapolis, Md., voters' qualification law restricting the suffrage rights of those who could not vote or whose ancestors could not vote prior to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution. Mrs. M. B. Eve. Mrs. Sallie Cowen and Miss Gertie Nix leave this week for Florence to attend the Woman's State Convention. Mr. Jas. Green and deacon W. W.

By holding that conditions that existed before the fifteenth amendment, which provides that the right to vote shall no: be denied or abridge on account of race, color or previous condition of sarvitude, could not be brought over to the present day in disregard of this self executing amendment. It is generally believed that the court went a long way toward invalidating much of the so-called "grand-father clause". Iu constitutions of Southern states.

The immediate effect of the court's decision was to uphold the conviction of two Oklahoma election officials who denied Negroes the right to vote in a congressional election, and to award Maryland Negroes damage from election officials in Annapolis who refused to register them. The court held that Oklahoma election officials could not ignore the fifteenth amendment in wiping out of state constitutions the word "white" as a qualification for voting. In the Maryland case, the court's decision established the point that the fifteenth amendment applies to municipal as well as to federal elections. Discussing the Oklahoma case, Chief Justice White said the sufferage amendment to the state constitution first fixed a literacy standard, and then followed it with a provision creating a standard based upon the condition existing on January 1, 1866, prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, and eliminated those coming under that standard from the inclusion in the literacy test. The court held that this action recreated and perpetuated the very conditions which the fifteenth amendment was intended to destroy. "It is true," continued the chief, "that it contains no express word of an exclusion of any peonon on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, but the standard itself inherently brings that result into existence. "In other words, we seek in vain for any ground which would sustain any other interpretation but that the provision, recurring to the conditions existing before the fifteenth amendment was adopted, proposed to make them the basis of the right to suffrage. And the same result, we are of the opinion, is demonstrated by consideration whether it is possible to discover any basis or reason for the standard thus fixed, other than the purpose above stated." crimination against which it was aimed, the result might arise that as a conesquence of the striking down of a discriminating cause a right of suffrage would be enjoyed by reason of the generic character of the provision which would remain after the discrimination was stricken out." NOTES FROM STATE GOLLEGE. State Teachers Association and State Farmers to meet at College during Summer Session. Orangeburg, June 22,—Each day brings letters of inquiry about rooms and accommodations at the Summer School, which will open Monday June 28. Reduced rates have been granted on the coupon ticket plan by all railroads in the State for the occasion, and persons expecting to attend should ask for these rates upon purchasing tickets. It would be well for those living at stations where coupons tickets are not sold to inquire of the agents for them at least three days previous to the time of departure, so that the ticket form might be had when the time for the trip arrives. The College has become an all-the-year-round place of instruction. Two weeks after the closing of the regular session a kindergarten was opened, and has been attended by a large number of children. These little folks will compose the Practice School for teachers in the summer session, affording them ideas of work to be done in the lower grades of the rural school, which most of them teach. At the conclusion of the summer session a short course school of Agriculture will be opened for the benefit of farmers who will be able to give time to this instruction after they are through laying by their crops. The State Teachers Association will meet during the summer session, the dates of July 21-23 having been set aside for this purpose. An excellent program of papers and addresses has been arranged, and those who attend will be greatly benefited. Delegates to the National Teachers Association, which meets at Cincinnati July 27th, will be chosen at this meeting. The State Farmers will gather at the College July 27th and discuss problems connected with rural schools and farm economics. The attendance at this meeting is expected to be large and general.

Orangeburg, June 22.—With the falling of the president's gavel and the singing "God be with you till we meet again," ended the greatest annual meeting of The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, in the history of the state. Darlington celebrated in gala fashion the successful ending of the meetings by giving a great banquet Friday night. given careful study of the federation work. President Marion B. Wilkinson's annual address was a masterpiece. Mrs. Anna Andrews. Paper on recollection of the National Federation that met at Wilberforce was fine. Mrs. N. H. Collins' paper on Why The Federation? was all that could be desired. The Sunlight Club of Orangeburg led all other clubs of the state in the amount of money raised during the year showing a total of $473. Charleston was a close second with $341. No one could possibly appreciate the amount and kind of work carried on by the Federated clubs of the state unless he were present at the annual meetings. The sessions began with reports being made from clubs from all parts of the state. These reports continued to come in until the last meeting Friday. The conservation of these women as shown by their reports, is marvelous. One is made to believe that at last the women of the state and the South have struck their pre-ocr. C. T. W. with insism of the pre-ocr. C. T. W. such a nature that Floyd are a question of time. Augusta. owe erated Clubs will cover bc as the dew the grass. No other organization in the state conducts its business on such a high plane of efficiency as does the State Federation. The women seem to have profiled by the mistakes of the men and learned to meet together, transact business with rapidity, without the many annoying features that so often accompany the large gatherings of men. South Carolina's women have taken a foremost part in the great work of re-viving the Rural Schools of the state. Long ago her women of great vision and foresight saw that in order to have a superior civilization, built upon a firm basis the children must be trained properly in their primary schools. A careful investigation revealed the fact that the schools of this state were the poorest in the country, when it came to the colored people. In many places it was found that the people did not even receive one whole month's training. The schools were found to be in the hands of very incompetent teachers. The federation set about to improve these unhappy conditions. The result is: in many rural communities the local clubs have extended the terms of the schools and in some instances "Home Economics" and "Agriculture" have been added to the course. A young lady will give her entire time next year to fostering of this Extension feature of the federation's work. Her salary and traveling expenses will be met by the State's cultural and mechanical College for colored youths at Orangeburg The federation went on record as being heartily in favor of a State Reformatory for Negro boys. A committee was appointed to meet similar committees from the Palmetto Medical Association and the State Business League. A standing committee was organized with Dr. J. H. Leevy of Florence, chairman, and Prof. Benj. F. Hubert of Orangeburg, secretary. This committee is empowered to wait upon the governor of the state at some time to be arranged by the secretary and lay the claims of the Negro boy before him and solicit his support in the campaign to be waged for this much need reformatory. Committees will be appointed in every county of the state who will wait upon their representatives and secure their co-operation in the effort to be made. Much can be said in praise of the way Darlington entertained the delegates. The delegates one and all were of the opinion that the federation had never been so well entertained before. Mesdames Collins, Gordon, Jenkins and the pastors of the churches Revs. Calahan, Scott, and Rev. Perrin with the host of others who assisted, seemed never to tire in trying to make things pleasant for the visitors. The slogan for the coming year is "A club in every town and community of the state. and these clubs represented at the meeting in Columbia June 1916." On to Columbia in 1916! What club will carry the best report? BUDGET OF NEWS FROM GAFFNEY. Gaffney, June 2. -On the 9th and 10th. inst. Morning Star Chapter number thirteen, O. E.

Wright, of Spartanburg, who was absent on account of death in the family. The public services at Durton Chapel and Limestone were a treat to the people of the city. The Rev. Mr. R. F. Freeman and Dr. A. A. Sims know how to welcome visitors to the city. Reva R. B. Beaty, J. O. Allen and Dr. Sims were the pastors who attended the Baptist state convention at Newberry from Gaffney. Mesdames L. A. Gafiney and Beaty leave here to-morrow for the Women Baptist state convention at Florence. The colored people of Cherokee county will hold a county fair this fall.

Allen, of Greenvillie, as pastor of Bethel Baptist church, Great sermons and speeches of welcome were made in welcoming Rev. Allen in our midst. Dr. A. A. Sims, and Rev. R. B. Beaty left no stones unturned in their sermons And Dr. J S Drill (pastor of First Baptist church white) made the charge to Rev. Allen and deacon board on Sunday evening. Rev. W M Lipscombs, of Greenville, told how the Holy Ghost had guided him in helping Bethel to secure a pastor. He stated that last fall he saw an article in the Indicator stating that the Bethel, Philadelphia, and Young Grove churches were in need of pastors He at once wrote Brown and Riley stating that he had a man to offer the chuck in the person of Rev J. O. Allen; asked them to get in correspondence with Rev. Allen and have him to come inspect the field and the result is that the Rev. Allen was called, $102.96 raised during the week.

Tribunal Decides Against Constitutionality of Election Regulations Existing Before 15th Amendment. Washington, June 21.—The supreme court, in what is considered one of the most important race decisions in history, today anuled as unconstitutional the Oklahoma constitutional amendment and the Annapolis, Md., voters' qualification law restricting the suffrage rights of those who couId not vote or whose ancestors could not vote prior to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution. Chief Justice White, a native of the South and a former Confederate soldier, announced the court's decision, which was unamous, except that Justice Mc Reynild took no part in case. By holding that conditions that existed before the fifteenth amendment, which provides that the right to vote shall no: be denied or abridge on account of race, color or previous condition of sarvitude, could not be brought over to the present day in disregard of this self executing amendment. It is generally believed that the court went a long way toward invalidating much of the so-called 'grand-father clause'. Iu constitutions of Southern states. FROM SMALL BASIS. The immediate effect of the court's decision was to uphold the conviction of two Oklahoma election officials who denied Negroes the right to vote in a congressional election, and to award the Maryland Negroes damage from election officials in Annapolis who refused to register them. The court held that Oklahoma election officials could not ignore the fifteenth amendment in wiping out of state constitutions the word "white" as a qualification for voting. In the Maryland case, the court's decision es tablished the point that the fifteenth amendment applies to municipal as well as to federal elections. Discussing the Oklahoma case, Chief Justice White said the sufferage amendment to the state constitution first fixed a literacy standard, and then followed it with a provision creating a standard based upon the condition existing on January 1, 1866, prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, and eliminated those coming under that standard from the inclusion in the literacy test. The court held that this action recreated and perpetuated the very conditions which the fifteenth amendment was intended to destroy. "It is true," continued the chief, "that it contains no express word of an exclusion of any peason on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, but the standard itself inherently brings that result into existence. "In other words, we seek in vain for any ground which would sustain any other interpretation but that the provision, recurring to the conditions existing before the fifteenth amendment was adopted, proposed to make them the basis of the right to suffrage. And the same result, we are of the opinion, is demonstrated by consideration whether it is possible to discover any basis or reason for the standard thus fixed, other than the purpose above stated." MANY BECOME POSITIVE. The chief justice had prefaced this state by a development of the argument that the restriction imposed by the fifteenth amendment on the power of the states suffrage was coincident with the writhe of the power itself. He argued that the principle that the true sense the fifteenth amendment gives no right to suffrage, "it was long ago recognized that in operation of the abolition might misuse the effect that the commencement of the suffrage a self-sufficient institution without legal limitations or dis- crimination against which it was aimed, the result might arise that as a consequence of the striking down of a discriminating cause a right of suffrage would be enjoyed by reason of the generic character of the provision which would remain after the discrimination was stricken out." NOTES FROM STATE GOLLEGE. State Teachers Association and State Farmers to meet at College during Summer Session. Orangeburg, June 22.—Each day brings letters of inquiry about rooms and accommodations at the Summer School, which will open Monday June 28. Reduced rates have been granted on the coupon ticket plan by all railroads in the State for the occasion, and persons expecting to attend should ask for these rates upon purchasing tickets. It would be well for those living at stations where coupons tickets are not sold to inquire of the agents for them at least three days previous to the time of departure, so that the ticket form might be had when the time for the trip arrives. The College has become an all-the-year-round place of instruction. Two weeks after the closing of the regular session a kindergarten was opened, and has been attended by a large number of children. These little folks will compose the Practice School for teachers in the summer session, affording them ideas of work to be done in the lower grades of the rural school, which most of them teach. At the conclusion of the summer session a short course school of Agriculture will be opened for the benefit of farmers who will be able to give time to this instruction after they are through laying by their crops. The State Teachers Association will meet during the summer session, the dates of July 21-23 having been set aside for this purpose. An excellent pragram of papers and addresses has been arranged, and those who attend will be greatly benefited. Delegates to the National Teachers Association, which meets at Cincinnati July 27th, will be chosen at this meeting. The State Farmers will gather at the College July 27th and discuss problems connected with rural schools and farm economics. The attendance at this meeting is expected to be large and general.

The Sunlight Club of Orangeburg led all other clubs of the state in the amount of money raised during the year showing a total of $473. Charleston was a close second with $341. No one could possibly appreciate the amount and kind of work carried on by the Federated clubs of the state unless he were present at the annual meetings. The sessions began with reports being made from clubs from all parts of the state. These reports continued to come in until the last meeting Friday. The conservation of these women as shown by their reports, is marvelous. One is made to believe that at last the women of the state and the Solomon have struck their prey on the enthusiasm of the present. Floyd are such a nature that Floyd are a question of time he augusta. Gerated Clubs will cover the grass as the dew No other organization in the state conducts its business on such a high plane of efficiency as does the State Federation. The women seem to have profited by the mistakes of the men and learned to be feet together, transact business with rapidity, without the many annoying features that so often accompany the large gatherings of men. South Carolina's women have taken a foremost part in the great work of re-viving the Rural Schools of the state. Long ago her women of great vision and foresight saw that in order to have a superior civilization, built upon a firm basis the children must be trained properly in their primary schools. A careful investigation revealed the fact that the schools of this state were the poorest in the country, when it came to the colored people. In many places it was found that the people did not even receive one whole month's training. The schools were found to be in the hands of very incompetent teachers. The federation set about to improve these unhappy conditions. The result is: in many rural communities the local clubs have extended the terms of the schools and in some instances "Home Economics" and "Agriculture" have been added to the course. A young lady will give her entire time next year to fostering of this Extension feature of the federation's work. Her salary and traveling expenses will be met by the State. Cultural and Mechanical College for colored youths at Orangeburg. The federation went on record as being heartily in favor of a State Reformatory for Negro boys. A committee has pointed to meet similar committees from the Palmetto Medical Association and the State Business League. A standing committee was organized with Dr. J. H. Leevy of Florence, chairman, and Prof. Benj. F. Hubert of Orangeburg, secretary. This committee is empowered to wait upon the governor of the state at some time to be arranged by the secretary and lay the claims of the Negro boy before him and solicit his support in the campaign to be waged for this much need (reformatory). Committees will be appointed in every county of the state who will wait upon their representatives and secure their co-operation in the effort to be made. Much can be said in praise of the way Darlington entertained the delegates. The delegates one and all were of the opinion that the federation had never been so well entertained before. Mesdames Collins, Gordon, Jenkins and the pastors of the churches Revs. Calahan, Scott, and Rev. Perrin with the host of others who assisted, seemed never to tire in trying to make things pleasant for the visitors. The slogan for the coming year is "A club in every town and community of the state, and these clubs represented at the meeting in Columbia June 1916." On to Columbia in 1916! What club will carry the best report? BUDGET OF NEWS FROM GAFFNEY. Gaffney, June 2.—On the 9th and 10th inst.

Washington, June 21.—The supreme court, in what is considered one of the most important race decisions in history, today an nuled as unconstitutional the Oklahoma constitutional amendment and the Annapolis, Md., voters' qualification law restricting the suffrage rights of those who could not vote or whose ancestors could not vote prior to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution. Chief Justice White, a native of the South and a former Confederate soldier, announced the court's decision, which was unamourable, except that Justice Mc Reynild took no part in case. By holding that conditions that existed before the fifteenth amendment, which provides that the right to vote shall no: be denied or abridge on account of race, color or previous condition of sarvitude, could not be brought over to the present day in disregard of this self executing amendment. It is generally believed that the court went a long way toward invalidating much of the socalled "grand-father clause". Iu constitutions of Southern states. FROM SMALL BASIS: The immediate effect of the court, s decision was to uphold the conviction of two Oklahoma election officials who denied Negroes the right to vote in a congressional election, and to award the Maryland Negroes damage from election officials in Annapolis who refused to register them. The court held that Oklahoma election officials could not ignore the fifteenth amendment in wiping out of state constitutions the word "white" as a qualification for voting. In the Maryland case, the court's decision es tablished the point that the fifteenth amendment applies to municipal as well as to federal elections. Discussing the Oklahoma case, Chief Justice White said the sufferage amendment to the state constitution first fixed a literacy standard, and then followed it with a provision creating a standard based upon the condition existing on January 1, 1866, prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, and eliminated those coming under that standard from the inclusion in the literacy test. The court held that this action recreated and perpetuated the very conditions which the fifteenth amendment was intended to destroy. "It is true," continued the chief, "that it contains no express word of an exclusion of any peason on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, but the standard itself inherently brings that result into existence. "In other words, we seek in vain for any ground which would sustain any other interpretation but that the provision, recurring to the conditions existing before the fifteenth amendment was adopted, proposed to make them the basis of the right to suffrage. And the same result, we are of the opinion, is demonstrated by consideration whether it is possible to discover any basis or reason for the standard thus fixed, other than the purpose above stated." MANY BECOME POSITIVE. The chief justice had prefaced this state by a development of the argument that the restriction imposed by the fifteenth amendment on the power of the states over suffrage was coincident with the limits of the power itself. He emphasized the principle that because the true sense the fifteenth amendment gives no right of suffrage, "it was long ago recognized that in operation the exhibition might measure the effect; that the suffrage of the common of the states would be self-evident without legal limitations or dis- crimination against which it was aimed, the result might arise that as a consequence of the striking down of a discriminating cause a right of suffrage would be enjoyed by reason of the generic character of the provision which would remain after the discrimination was stricken out." NOTES FROM STATE COLLEGE. State Teachers Association and State Farmers to meet at College during Summer Session. Orangeburg, June 22,—Each day brings letters of inquiry about rooms and accommodations at the Summer School, which will open Monday June 28. Reduced rates have been granted on the coupon ticket plan by all railroads in the State for the occasion, and persons expecting to attend should ask for these rates upon purchasing tickets. It would be well for those living at stations where coupons tickets are not sold to inquire of the agents for them at least three days previous to the time of departure, so that the ticket form might be had when the time for the trip arrives. The College has become an allthe-year-round place of instruction. Two weeks after the closing of the regular session a kindergarten was opened, and has been attended by a large number of children. These little folks will compose the Practice School for teachers in the summer session, affording them ideas of work to be done in the lower grades of the rural school, which most of them teach. At the conclusion of the summer session a short course school of Agriculture will be opened for the benefit of farmers who will be able to give time to this instruction after they are through laying by their crops. The State Teachers Association will meet during the summer session, the dates of July 21-23 having been set aside for this purpose. An excellent pragma of papers and addresses has been arranged, and those who attend will be greatly benefited. Delegates to the National Teachers Association, which meets at Cincinnati July 27th, will be chosen at this meeting. The State Farmers will gather at the College July 27th and discuss problems connected with rural schools and farm economics. The attendance at this meeting is expected to be large and general.

The Appeal for Morris College. We commend to the serious attention of the people of that denomination the appeal, appearing elsewhere in this paper, of the Finance Committee of Morris College. The plan is feasible and the cause is indeed worthy. The response ought, and surely will, be prompt and hearty. Morris College represents what the Negro Baptists are doing educationally for themselves. If every Baptist would do as requested by the finance committee the $5,000 would be raised easily any Sunday set apart for that purpose. THE NEWS FROM ABBEVILLE Abbeville, June 15.—Dear editor: On Friday night June 11, our beloved pastor. Rev. A. W. Brown was with his Mt. Pleasant flock and held conference which was called to order at 9 o'clock by moderator Brown. The moderator makes a find judge for he will preserve order. On Sunday the 13th, was the day of much rejoicing. Never before did this "star shine" brighter nor travel faster in the "firmament" as he (Brown) did morning and evening by preaching two powerful soul feeding sermons. The Popular Grove Graded and High School closed out May 28. The annual sermon was preached Sunday, May 22nd by the Rev. A. J. C. Johnson. During commencement week some distinguished visitors were present—some of them were Bishop L. J. Copin of Philadelphia Pa. A. M. E. Rev. Prof. R. E. Brogden, of Allen University Columbia, Mrs. A. W. Coleman and daughter of Helena, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams who had recently returned from Washington D. C. and our dear pastor who made a fine little talk, and advocated educating the boys that the girls wouldn't have to keep company with criminals and said to the class that they make a name and history. Bishop Copin made two good speeches during the commencement. Aside from a talk or lecture to Abbeville Negroes on Tuesday 25th, oh what stress he put on pure womanhood which was the subject of one girl of the class. On Friday night May 28th Rev. Prof. R. E. Brogden made the annual address which was very tl ely and without manuscript. Allen University was well represented by the speaker. He made a fine speech and was greeted with much approval by a receptive audience. We thank God for such men as Rev. Prof. Brogden, who are not afraid to speak of the evils of our people, and condemns the wrong doers. Prof. J. W. Lee and wife ars home after finishing work for the term at Ninety-six. We are pleased to have them here. Miss Abbie W. Johnson one of the faculty of Allen Uuiversity and little Eliza Nelson are here with former's parents. Miss Abbie is a kindergarten teacher and very fond of little ones but she must bring home with her a little Nelson. What does it mean? Well ask Wm. D. C.M.D. Messrs A. N Neil and H. Howard passed through our city Monday. The veteran teacher Miss M. N. Pinkney after some months of hard labor in this city teaching children, left for her home in Columbia. Miss Ella V. Richie is home from North Carolina where she has been teaching school (Lumberton N. C.) Miss Wilhemina Wilson is home from her work in Union, where she has been teaching in the graded school, to the delight of friends. The Winnsboro District Conference was held in the A. M. E. church May 20-24. For the delegates, ministers and visitors in attendance, the pastor, the Rev. J. F. Boyd, did all in his power to make it pleasant. Those attending the conference were met at Alston and conveyed to the church where a large crowd awaited their arrival. Early Thursday morning, long before the conference began, the writer met two intellectual giants. They were L. A. Hawkins LL. B. and S. J. McKnight. They frankly told me that they wanted me and all concerned to know that they were candidates for election to the General Conference. After they had conversed with me, dis playing their knowledge of the church and the legislation needed for it. I became compelled to admit that those two live men are worthy of the honor they seek In his speech before the conference, S. J. McKnight said that he wanted to go to the General Conference because he knew the war; because, as some new men would be sent, he would be needed to pilot them about; Prof Hawkins said that he wanted to go because of his efficiency, manhood, and principles; because he had the courage to strike, in the right way, at any evil. He said that he wanted delegates to the electoral college to come down there, not in any man's pocket, but governed by principle. In the organization of the conference, Rev. J. F. Young was elected secretary. The Rev. Dr. Curry of St Matthews and the Rev. I. J. Pruitt were introduced and they made it known that they too were candidates for election to the general conference. The Rev. Curry claims that he is able to right some wrongs. He wants the discipline so changed that women may become eligible as delegates to the general conference. Rev. I. J. Pruitt gave satisfactory assurance that, if chosen, he would work for the best interest of the church. On Thursday night, the annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Pyles. As was to be expected, he preached a soul stirring sermon. When the reports were called for on Friday. I never saw money paid more readily. No excuses were heard. At night the Rev. S. M. Bowers of Union preached the educational sermon. It was a plain spiritual doctrinal discourse. Saturday J. S. Martin and J. J. Geter were elected lay delegates to the annual conference which will be held in Columbia in November. Mr. A. P. Harper of White Hall who, as a layman, is a candidate for the General Conference was introduced. He has executive ability, and is kind, friendly and lovable. He made a favorable impression. Sunday was a great day. The following preachers preached: 10 a. m., Rev. M. S. Glenn; 11 a. m., Rev. J. W. Lykes, presiding elder of the district; 3 p. m. Rev. White; 8 p. m. Rev. J. N. Burks. The sermons were grand especially the one preached by the presiding elder. Elder Lykes announced that over $260 was raised and that the conference was the best conference he had held in all his life. John S. Martin. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear mother, Mollie Smith, who departed this life June 24th 1914. One year this very day. My mother whom I loved, On wings of everlasting joy, Flew to her home above. Oh! how I miss her tender voice, No human tongue can tell. But yet I feel within my heart, God d'eth all things well. Faithful was she to her church, Meekly and obediently she heard the commands. And persistently by her faithful labors, She is now at God's right hand. So dear mother sleep on and take thy rest, I love thee well but Jesus loves thee best. A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. Daughter, R. H. Collins, Eastover, S. C.

Annual Barbecue Come one, come all to the Annual Barbecue which will be given for the benefit of the AN URGENT APPEAL To the Baptist of South Carolina. We are making this appeal to every Baptist pastor, church, Sunday School, Union and Association in the State in the behalf of Morris College. You are hereby asked and urged to immediately take a contribution for the mortgaged debt of Morris College, which debt must be looked after at once. The amount asked for is two dollars ($2,00) from each church, Union, and Association and one dollar ($1,00) from each Sunday School. The amount asked is small, and we truly hope that no church Union, Sunday School, or Association will fail to respond to this appeal at once. There are many individuals who can easily give one dollar ($1,00) and we earnestly call upon all such to do so. If any church, Sunday School, Union, Associatism or individual can give more than the amount asked for, by all means do so, but do not fail to give the amount herein stated. Every dollar contributed in response to this appeal will be applied to the college without deducting a single cent for expense. Now brother, the matter is squarely before you Do you love your denomination? Do you want it to own something? Then now is your time to act. Morris College does not belong to any particular section, or association; it belongs to all sections, to all associations, to the denomination—to one and to every Negro Baptist of the state. Now, show whether or not you care for your own. We send this appeal to each pastor with the hope that he will present it at once to his church and Sunday school, and help in whatever way he can in this vital and pressing matter. The reputation of the Baptists is at stake. Line up and ask God to help save the two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Baptists in this state. Send all money orders and checks to Rev. Dr. A, P Dunbar, 1501 12 Taylor street, Columbia, S. C. who will promptly receipt you for the same and have your name and organization with the amount contributed published in the "Pilot", which is now our official and denominational newspaper. Yours for the cause, Finance Committee of Morris College. J. J. Durham, E. W. Bowen, R. W. Baylor, A. P. Dunbar, chairman. June 22. 1915. PYTHIAN NEWS AND NOTES. By the Official Correspondent, Supreme Chancellor Green will bring to the Supreme Lodge a report of a striking Pythian revival. Surrounded in the main by a loyal cabinet, Green has kept the organization way in front as the one distinctive Negro organization. As usual he will be returned to his station at Columbus. From all sections there is an almost universal demand for M. M. Rodgers, of Texas, to announce himself for some honor within the gift of the Supreme Lodge. As chairman of the Committee on Credentials at the Baltimore session, the Texan made no small reputation for himself. Grand Chancellor Henry, of South Carolina, "will come up with a startling record for a Grand Lodge that covers so much of the State that there is no room for expansion. He reports thirty-eight lodges for one year." The Pythians of Kentucky, led by Garvin, are making unprecedented progress. In September they will dedicate a State temple at Louisville, which cost $125,000, Roscoe Simmons P. O. C. will be the anniversary orator at the Grand Lodge in July. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee, which meets in July at Knoxville, is still congratulating itself on the elevation of Grand Chancellor Crautford to membership on the Finance Committee, the bulwark of the Supreme Lodge. Grand Chancellor Blount, the unique Alabama leader, will be one, of the big figures at Columbus and will lead as an administrator. Supreme Vice-Chancellor Jones, the Calanthe wizard, himself a very prominent citizen of Ohio, will be one of the hosts at Colambus, and particularly invites all the newspaper men to attend the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge will fittingly celebrate the golden jubilee of freedom at Columbus, The Supreme Chancellor announces that the jubilee orator will be Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Sir Henry Avant. brilliant leader of Arkansas Pythians, is just closing one of the best years of his long and happy administration. Sir Avant possesses unusual executive ability. Hutto, successor to Creswill' the Georgian Grand Lodge has a born leader of men, and a fraternal miracleworker. No Georgian seeking honors can hope to stand unless Hotto says the word. The Georgia Grand Lodge will meet soon in Savannah, and the anniversary orator will be Col. R, C, Simmons. Pythian leaders are ready to endorse the preparation of a history of Negro knighthood if such is to be prepared by competent hands. A Life of Starks would be a good foundation for a Pythian history Sincee the Baltimore Supreme Lodge, the Pythians Sanitorium at Hot Springs, Ark., that was destroyed by fire on the closing day of that session, has been rebuilt, and John T, T, Warren, the financier and manager, will make report thereon at Columbus. Tidrington, the building Grand Chancellor, will bring a regiment of Hoosiers over into Ohio. While there have been no great legal battles since the Baltimore session, Supreme Attorney Watkins has been busy, and will make an interesting report. The Grand Lodge, of Texas, under Prince, the prince, is erecting a $100,000 temple in Dallas, where the Grand Lodge meets in 1916. The finest meeting places in Columbus have been turned over to the Pythians of Columbus for the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge proper open Tuesday, August 17. REV. MILLER SPEAKS.

By the Official Correspondent By the Official Correspondent, Supreme Chancellor Green will bring to the Supreme Lodge a report of a striking Pythian revival, Surrounded in the main by a loyal cabinet, Green has kept the organization way in front as the on-distinctive Negro, organization. As usual he will be returned to his station at Columbus. From all sections there is an almost universal demand for M. M. Rodgers, of Texas, to announce himself for some honor within the gift of the Supreme Lodge. As chairman of the Committee on Credentials at the Baltimore session, the Texan made no small reputation for himself. Grand Chancellor Henry, of South Carolina, will come up with a startling record for a Grand Lodge that covers so much of the State that there is no room for expansion. He reports thirty-eight lodges for one year. The Pythians of Kentucky, led by Garvin, are making unprecedented progress. In September they will dedicate a State temple at Louisville, which cost $125,000. Roscoe Simmons P. O. C. will be the anniversary orator at the Grand Lodge in July. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee, which meets in July at Knoxville, is still congratulating itself on the elevation of Grand Chancellor Blount to membership on the Justice Committee, the bulwark of the Supreme Lodge. Grand Chancellor Blount, the unique Alabama leader, will be one, of the big figures at Columbus and will lead as an administrator, Supreme Vice-Chancellor Jones, the Calanthe wizard, himself a very prominent citizen of Ohio, will be one of the hosts at Colambus, and particularly invites all the newspaper men to attend the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge will fittingly celebrate the golden jubilee of freedom at Columbus, The Supreme Chancellor announces that the jubilee orator will be Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Sir Henry Avant, brilliant leader of Arkansas Pythians, is just closing one of the best years of his long and happy administration. Sir Avant possesses unusual executive ability Hutto, successor to Creswill' the Georgian Grand Lodge has a born leader of men, and a fraternal miracleworker. No Georgian seeking honors can hope to stand unless Hotto says the word. The Georgia Grand Lodge will meet soon in Savannah, and the anniversary orator will be Col. R, C, Simmons. Pythian leaders are ready to endorse the preparation of a history of Negro knighthood if such is to be prepared by competent hands. A Life of Starks would be a good foundation for a Pythian history. Since the Baltimore Supreme Lodge, the Pythians Sanitorium at Hot Springs, Ark., that was destroyed by fire on the closing day of that session, has been rebuilt, and John T. T. Warren, the financier and manager, will make report thereon at Columbus. Tidrington, the building Grand Chancellor, will bring a regiment of Hoosiers over into Ohio. While there have been no great legal battles since the Baltimore session, Supreme Attorney Watkins has been busy, and will make an interesting report. The Grand Lodge, of Texas, under Prince, the prince, is erecting a $100,000 temple in Dallas, where the Grand Lodge meets in 1916. The finest meeting places in Columbus have been turned over to the Pythians of Columbus for the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge proper open Tuesday, August 17. REV. MILLER SPEAKS. Anderson County June 13. Mr. Editor, please allow me space in your most excellent paper to say a word about our work. We are planning to have the Little River Bapt. association of Abbeville Co. to meet with the Rocky Mount Baptist church near Honea Path, just after the 3rd Lords Day in August 1915. The pastor Rev. W. H. Miller with the members are doing all they can to have it pleasant for the delegation and friends during the session. Rev. Miller is quite a faithful pastor. Our church has succeeded very successfully since he has been with us. Not long since he was called to to the Hopewell Baptist church near Laurence and he has been very heartily received. Rev. Miller is a graduate of Benedict College and he preaches an incompromising gospel. Hopwell is one of the best church in the Tumbling Shoals Associision. The people are pleased with their pastor. IN MEMORIAM OF JOSEPH EARLE RUTHERFORD. June 25, 1914 June 25, 1915 We are left here and have wept, But we'll meet thee on that bright shore. Darling Earle thou hast left us We miss your little footsteps about our home, We surely loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best, Sleep on angel sleep on. "NFWS FROM THE LAND OF THE SKY."

WARREN, Manager. 415 Malvern Avenue, HOT SPRINGS, ARK. NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE. BY REV. RICHARD CARROLL. As scheduled I spent Sunday with Dr. C. T. Walker in Augusta, Ga. I preached at 11 a. m. in his new church to a great congregation. At 4:30 p. m. I lectured to what Dr. Walker called a "very representative audience" lawyers, doctors, business men and people who represented everything. The men voted unanimously that they enjoyed the lecture and were willing to hear it again but I was not willing to stay longer in Augusta. I was tired and had not much more physical force to spare. Dr. Walker's congregation is not like the average Georgia congregation I met. At 11 a. m. the people assembled for preaching; at 8 p. m. the congregation had assembled night services, and at 9:30 the benediction was pronounced and the people were going home. That is 9:30 by standard time. I was in Atlanta on two occasions when I began preaching at 10 o'clock by South Carolina time and 9 o'clock by Central time There are few men that have services like Dr. Walker—on time, In South Carolina I noted the promptness of Dr. N. C. Nix of Orangeburg, Rev. A. R. Bacote Society Hill and Rev. James Kirkland of Newberry, and some months ago I preached for Dr. J. J. Durham in Columbia. He believes in "Redeeming time" Dr. Walker and his congregation worshipped in the Sunday This part, having capacity of 1,000, is an auditorium, when seated seat 2500. Thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) has been laid toward this great structure, which when completed will cost thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000). It will be an institutional church. This great man deserves such a house of worship, for he is a great, great gospel preacher—a deep preacher. His sermons are high as heaven, deep as hell, broad as the earth—for they save unto the utmost them that believe. I am always delighted to visit this, my old friends and his congregation or to be in his company. The collection raised and given me after my lecture to Men Only was certainly a surprise to me. It was more than I expected. The men gave every dollar he ask for and I was more than pleased. I can never forget when visiting Augusta that great scholar and teacher, that unselfish, useful citizen that serves his day and generation well, the Rev. Silas X. Flovd. I asked a prominent citizen "who are the leading and first citizens of Augusta?" This man is not a member of Dr. Walker's church, but is a prominent professional man, and his answer was "Dr. C. T. Walker and Rev. Silas X. Floyd are the first citizens of Augusta." Dr. Walker owes much of his great success, both in Augusta and elsewhere in America, to his armor bearer, Silas X. Floyd. Rev. Floyd is to Dr. Walker what Emmett J. Scott is to Dr. Booker T. Washington. In the audience I recognized Col. Judson W. Lyons, Prof. J. L. White, Prof. P. H. Craig, several ministers of the gospel and other prominent citizens. It is known that Georgia has more "Colonels" white and colored, than any other state in the South. There was colonel Wilkerson who has the distinction of being the only colored steam boat captain in the city, having had charge of different steam boats running between Augusta and Savannah for more than 18 years. Col. Wilker- son drove me everywhere. Sunday and Monday brought me to the train in his fine touring car. This genial gentleman took delight in taking me around. Miss Annie Adams accompanied me around on all my trips except to the meeting for Men Only. I stopped while in Augusta with her brother-in-law, Dr. C. S. Carr who married Miss Annie's sister, Nell. Both of these young ladies lived at one time with the writer several years ago, and take delight in looking after my welfare No chinches visited me in the home, only one large mosquito paid me a call and I murdered him. The bed was roomy and comfortable. Callis, Mrs. Carr's brother took pleasure in waiting on me. Dr. Carr was full of good cheer and was anxious for his family to contribute to my happiness and comfort. What a fine garden they have, vegetable were plentiful, the coffee was fine and the beef steaks and roasts were juicy. New potatoes and plenty of cake and lots of things were put on the table which I did not eat.

(Continued Next Week) He Has Not Accepted A Degree To my friends and others want it distinctly known that I have not accepted the degree of D. D. or LL. D. from any institution, and persons who write me will please address me for the same old way "Richard Carroll or Rev. Richard Carroll" I am not worthy of any honorary degree and never will be. Of course I am grateful to any institution or individual thinking well of me, but I know myself better than any one else. I am unworthy, neither have I merited a degree. Richard Carroll Reception to psstor Green. The Rev. I. P. Green, the urbane pastor of the Union Baptist church near Royster's mills, reached last Friday night his fortieth birthday and the termination of eleventh year as pastor of that flock. The woman's missionary society of the church celebrated the events by tendering him a grand reception, at which the members and friends generally were in attendance. After an address most appropriate by Prof. John R. Wilson, in which he happily felicitated the pastor, refreshments choice and abundant were served, after which a large fat purse was given the pastor. This church was organized and built by the Rev.
