Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga., Aug. 15-21, 1921, was the place of meeting of the greatest Synodical Sunday school conference and School of Methods for the purpose of training the youth of their church and of uor race for a larger usefulness and a more efficient leadership both in the church and for the race ever held in the history of the church. It was a record breaker. It suffices just here to say that their methods are unique. It is the further purpose of the conference, as was stated by one of the instructors in home missions, Miss Barr, to make the unfitting fit, the fit more fitter. The faculty consisted of some of the leading educators of both races. Rev. G. W. Long is the efficient and congenial president of the Synodical convention. Miss Mae V. Foster, the competent secretary; Miss Lucinda White, treasurer. THE SCHOOL OF METHODS, Dean, Rev. A. B. McCoy, D. D. Director, Mr. J. M. Somerndike. So the Synodical Sabbath school conference and School of Methods at Haines Memorial Institute, Augusta, Ga., on the above date will go down into the annals of sacred history as the greatest event that has come to pass in modern times of this kind of conference or in the history of the church as for that matter. There were five Frybakteries represented at this great conference, The Fairfield, Knox, Merrillian, Atlantic and Hodge. It would have inspired the dullest mind of all the most stupid and stupid-minded men all of the so commanded by all. Paint me just here to mention one or two of the platform addresses, one by Dr. Foster, the other by Mr. William Raff Hall. Has the colored Presbyterian minister measured up to his opportunity? If not, why not? He gave as three very pungent reasons thus: First, selfishness; second, too secular; and third, for lack of unity among the brethren. The life that wins or the exposition of the 17th chapter of First Samuel. Both were masterpieces of oratory and logic. They were profound in depth of thought and unequaled in breadth of vision. To say the whole thing was a unique affair is to put it mildly. Since I have given a synopsis of the general convention I shall turn now to the local side for a moment. THE FAIRFIELD PRESBYTERY. I happen to live in and be acquainted with the Fairfield Presbytery. Therefore I shall say just a word about it. To name some of the personnel of the delegation will assure one of a splendid representation. The Personnel—The local Presbytery could be none other than in the front ranks with such a delegation as these viz.: Mrs. Belle Vincent, the cultured, efficient teacher, the very embodiment of sunshine and happiness and love for her fellowman as teacher of the mission school. Mrs. F. K. Butler, Miss Edith Butler, president Junior Mislonary Society; Miss Hattie M. Conwell. From the Sunday school, Misses Jennie M. Champion, Flossie Howard, Miss Charlotte A. Jackson, superintendent cradle roll department; Mr. S. Hemphill, president Presbyterial Christian Endeavor League; Miss Ethelind I. Thompson, superintendent of the Sunday school; Mrs. C. Rutherford, president Christian Endeavor. The resolutions were also read by Mrs. Vincent. "Nuff sed." Of course, it suffices to mention the presence of Dr. M. G. Johnson, the leader of the above flock. God bless Dr. Long, his staff and membership at large. Fraternally yours, Millard F. Jefferson. 2214 Lady St., Columbia, S. C. COMING! COMING!! Coming!

Nearly 2,000 people—as many as the auditorium of the Calvary Baptist Church could hold—assembled in this beautiful church, 308 West California Street, in Oklahoma City. This was the second popular mass meeting of the National Association of Colored Teachers in that city first week in this month. In the audience were many white people, men and women, and newspaper writers of note. They publish several big dailies in Oklahoma City and a splendid Negro paper—The Black Dispatch. There is one daily that issues in the morning, afternoon and at night. The Negroes call their paper "The Black Dispatch." Just why they call it black I could not learn, but it is a good paper, well edited and carries a big circulation. The leading speaker at this second mass meeting was Hon. R. H. Singleton, the State superintendent of education. A man with a pleasing look and a wonderful personality. He was introduced to the audience by Professor S. R. Youngblood, who is himself a very able speaker. Mr. Singleton spoke 75 minutes and no one got tired. I take from my notes a few things he said which reflects the attitude of the administration of public school officials toward the separate schools, and separate schools there means schools for Negro pupils. Mr. Singleton said that they had spent last year for buildings—referring to Negro schools—$1,000,000, for maintenance $840,000, and a per capita of $19.00. That is $19.00 was spent for the education of each Negro child in the State of Oklahoma. There are 50,000 Negro children in the schools, there are 17 countries in which no Negroes live. Out of this power enrollment, 5,000 graduated. A committee with himself and S. R. Youngblood, who was the only colored member, wrote a bill and had the Legislature to enact same increasing the levy to two mills, which will double the appropriation for the schools throughout the State. Serving with this committee and getting this piece of legislation passed is one of the biggest things to the credit of a colored man in this country. Mr. Youngblood showed me through the $3,000,000 capitol building of Oklahoma and introduced me to many officials. I got from this office educational reports as I am collecting such reports from every State in the Union. In his report for 1919-1920 is stated that $111,424 were spent for the maintenance of the Negro high schools of Oklahoma. I understand that there are four high schools for colored pupils. The Douglas high school at Oklahoma City is, to my mind, the third best in the country, some say that the Dallas high school at Dallas, Tex., is fine. I have seen the second best high school for Negro pupils in the United States—the one in St. Louis. The Douglas High School has a full four-year course above the junior high with 16 units of credits. I understand that pupils from this school enter freshman in the best colleges in the country. What more can a high school pupil expect? There is the Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston, Okla. J. M. Marquess-is president of this school. The State of Oklahoma appropriated for this institution last year $120,500. Besides this $30,000 was appropriated for the Colored Deaf and Blind School of that State. But Oklahoma is far ahead of the real Southern States in resources. She has oil wells, coal mines, grasses, cattle ranches, rock, grain, packing houses, and so many other things upon which taxes are levied. In the trend of things Negroes get rich. They have a Negro millionaire and T. C. Elliott at Muskogee owns four department stores at different points. His stores are the size of J. L. Minnaugh's in Columbia, S. C. Negroes in Oklahoma City own three theatres. They support 11 physicians, 100 pressers, six dentists, three drug stores, 16 or more churches, 50 teachers, three first class grocers, five real estate agencies, three lawyers, three undertakers and many haberdasheries and cafeterias. Oklahoma has a population of 110,000 and 12,000 are Negroes. All things considered South Caro Announcement From Super intendent Of City Schools. All Colored pupils and parents taken notice.

Within a very few days Dr. T. H. Wiseman and the members of Bethel A. M. E. Church will be able to worship in the basement of their new church. The builders are rapidly pushing the work forward, and when completed, judging from present appearances, Dr. Wiseman an this members will have much to rejoice over when the building is completed. At present services are being held in the chapel of Allen University. lina compares favorable with the other States. Our only moneyed crop is cotton and the taxable value of this State is not one-fifth as much as these States with such rich resources. Teachers, preachers, farmers, and business people do well in the West; money is plentiful and opportunities to get along good, but they have their race question. The person of industry and push can make good out there, and the same kind of person can make good in South Carolina. The teacher who succeeds in the West must know his "stuff." Ignorant, time killers are not wanted—they employ the best and pick them from all parts of the country. Whatever you note as natural traits and characteristic of colored people here is true of colored people there. They have Negroes there who tell lies to white people on the others who are stepping ahead, and frame up most anything to defeat the fellow who is doing something, and we have that same group of Negroes in every section of our State. I have been in 16 different States in these United States, and my word is my bond. Friends, the Negro is about the same in race traits whether you find him in Oklahoma City, Massachusetts or South Carolina. I. M. A. The Law has had rather a desperate struggle with the Mob since the day the mob hanged Jesus Christ on a cross. At times the Law has appeared to have the upper hand, but every once in a while, during the past 2,000 years, the Mob has allied and superceded, or rather beaten down the Law. That sort of morale is what South Carolinians are facing today. Men stand around in the streets of Columbia and openly admit they endorse Mobs and such anarchy. They do the same thing any South Carolina city. And, the spreading of such propaganda breeds contempt for the Law some of the club advocates are sworn to uphold, with their lives, if necessary. There was no more need for lynching Will Allen, Negro slayer of Noah Frick, at Chilin, S. C., on Wednesday of this week than there would be to shoot off the home of the South Carolina Capitol building in order to clear the waters of the Congaree. He was arrested, and nominally was in the hands of officers sworn to resist mobs and protect prisoners at the risk of their own lives, if necessary. There was not one chance in 5,000 that Will Allen could not have a speedy trial, a prompt conviction and an early legal execution. That is neither here nor there, however. The point is that the Mob was out for a victim and it found him. Then all the unrepressed anger of the garage can be the front and the result was that the victim was not given time to pray, he was shot to death, and then to mourn their glory for bravery, the seven hundred members of the Moth file right head body with hot blood! From every landpoint of Law Orders, Safety and Public Safety the Moth was arrested, murdered and were convicted of the sight of men and the death of the Law and order. It knows when it is heaten. It has somewhat lost heart. When the Governor of South Carolina, resting from his arduous labors up at Paris Mountain, S. C.—he might just as well be there, or in Mount Shasta as in Columbia—hears of this Lexington county attack and defeat of the Law, we suppose he will again urge the newspapers of the State to go out and round up the Mob and try it. That is what he did a short while ago when he was told that another Mob searched trains and invaded another State and searched a jail in its quest for victims. We are told that South Carolina jails are unfit to hold dangerous prisoners. We are told that we are too poor to have as good roads as North Carolina or Iowa. We are told that it would be silly for sheriffs to risk their lives by firing on a Mob in this State. Granting that these claims are true, then The Record would ask, why South Carolina has poor roads and weak jails, since South Carolinians have been paying taxes as long and as high and as burdensome as have the people of Tennessee or Iowa? The officers at Knoxville a few days ago turned guns on an attacking Mob made up of their neighbors and shot down scores of these Mobbers when the Mob crossed a certain deadline. In Massachusetts the five officers stood pat and the Mob fled, but in South Carolina—Oh, well, as we get it, the sheriff says he cannot stop the Mob and the Governor says he cannot find it, consequently The Record submits that Things have come to a hell of a pass If the State can't wallop its own jackass! —Columbia Record. MEMORIOM. In loving memory of my dear husband, Mr. M. B. Davis, who departed this life August 30th, 1920. Gone, yes gone, but not forgotten; Gone to live with saints above, From a world of pain and sorrow, To a land of perfect love. Thou hast crossed the River Jordan, Thou hast passed the Vale of tears; Yet our hearts cannot forget thee, Through the passing of the years. Yes, indeed, we hope to meet you, In the homeland of the soul, Just beyond the Vale of Sorrows, Where the surges cease to roll. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, CHICAGO, ILL. SEPT. 7-12, 1921.

TULSA'S NEGROES WIN PERMANENT INJUNCTION Negroes Can Rebuild in Stricken City—Three Judges Decide Vicious Ordinance Invalid—Victory for N. A. A. C. P., Says Whitby. Telephonic information with Dr. A. Baxter Whitby, president of the Oklahoma Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, late Thursday, disclosed the fact that a sweeping and permanent injunction had been given the Negro property owners of Tulsa, who went into the courts and asked that a restraining order be entered against the City of Tulsa, prohibiting the City of Tulsa from the enforcement of the vicious "FIRE ORDINANCE," which was immediately passed by the city following the fire and riots, June 1. The case was heard before three of the judges of the county, sitting together. Their names follow: W. B. Williams, Albert G. Hunt and L. B. Biddison. The order was made permanent. The City of Tulsa demurred to the petition filed in the court by the Negro firm of lawyers, Spears, Chappelle and Franklin, but the demurrer was set aside and the injunction order entered. Attorney Elisha Scott of Topeka, Kans., and Judge J. W. Burnes (white) of Oklahoma City, assisted in the action for the Negro petitioners. Crowds, composed of both black and whites, filled the court room, but every one seemed to take the affair in an orderly manner. The sentiment among the crowd of whites was in favor of the Negroes. The action of the court will permit the immediate erection of homes by Negroes in the burned area. Hundreds of the Negroes will be able to erect their homes and it is thought that the court action will add to the power of the blacks to secure building loans upon their property. The injunction order was entered by the court at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. — The Black Dispatch. MEMORIOM.

So many he's taken, so often he strikes, What wonder our hearts are o'er-flowing with pain? 2. First Eddie, then Bennie; next Willie, our pride; Then Father and Genie he would not let stay; Ere we could recover from this dreadful loss Dear Mother and Eugene were summoned away. 3. Still Death was not sated; he looked on our home And chose him another for Heaven's mansions bright; He came, and that beautiful September day He carried our Sammie to realms of delight. 4. Thou'r't gone from us, Sammie, to be with thy God; We'll see thy dear face this earth nevermore; But we are submissive, for thru Jesus' grace, Tou'r't holy and happy on Heaven's blissful shore. 5. How great was thy anguish! It made our hearts bleed e'en one groan; For thou wast so patient; but God was so good, And forgot not His promise ne'er to leave thee alone. 6. And when He was ready for thy run- nered son! He came down thy hand to our And the stricken thanked God for this proof of His love. 7. Deaf Brother, tho quiet and modest thou wast, Thy life was most useful, thy service most true; For no worthy cause wast thou e'er asked in vain; Thy full duty thou ever didst strive to do. 8. Our God in His wisdom has called thee from earth, His angels have borne thee across the dark flood; We hope we shall meet them in that home prepared For all who are washed in His Son's precious blood. 9. We bow in submission, for well do we know Our Father doth always all things for the best; And we'll try to so live that some glad day we'll join Our beloved in the Saints' everlasting rest— 10. That rest our dear Saviour has waiting for all Who will come unto Him and be forgiven; The place where ineffable happiness reigns, The Home of the Blessed—the Christian's Heaven. MRS. DUCKETT ENTERTAINS. Miss Sarah Lee of Savannah, who was the guest of Prof. and Mrs. T. L. Duckett of Benedict College, left for home on Saturday. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Duckett received informally in honor of Miss Lee. It was a delightful porch party. About thirty-five ladies were present. The out-of-town guests were: Mrs. Maud Dillard Williams of North Carolina, Mrs. Lily Mae Owens of Tennessee, Mrs. Lula Nelson of Charleston, Mrs. Julia Mae Harris and Miss Sarah Lee of Savannah. All of the ladies voted Mrs. Duckett a charming hostess, and said that they hoped that she would entertain again on the porch at an early date.

For, they need to build up more enterprises of their own and extend better support to what they have already. On last Sunday night another Negro was laid to rest in Columbia by a fire arm at the hands of another Negro. while down in Florida a reputable white physician laid a girl of his color to rest in a creek after performing a criminal operation upon her. Quite a different method but the effect was the same. After three trials the coroner of Richland county reached the conclusion that Policeman Brown, who was shot to death a few nights ago, met death at the hands of an unknown person. Quite an impartial verdict. According to published statements that a Negro committed the crime one was easily of the opinion that the word "Negro" would have been used instead of "person." This but shows fairness on the part of the coroner and his jury. It should be gratifying news to all of our readers to know that our Tulsa brothers have won a permanent injunction against the city of Tulsa and are busy erecting their buildings. The funny occurrence is that an Indian now is trying to give them the same or equivalent dose that the whites tried to give the blacks. He is trying to reclaim a part of the main residential section but the whites cannot see the wisdom of it and are fighting the courts to retain their's just as Negroes there have been fighting to retain their's or get it back out of the hands of the murderers and would-be robbers of Tulsa. The wounding of twenty or more men and women in Knoxville, Tenn., recently by sworn officers to protect prisoners as are all officers, like in South Carolina, even at the peril of their own lives, is a regrettable affair, not so much because the mob leaders and spectators were wounded, but because their attempt to wrench the law out of the hands of loyal officers necessitated the officers proving to them and the public that they were not officers in name only. These real officers are to be commended for their bold stand to uphold the law in protecting their prisoner. Those officers had a line of demarkation established and as the lawless ones would attempt to cross it, they with hot lead demonstrated the fact that they were real officers: If South Carolina could have borrowed these officers for use at Chapin a few days ago, the old Palmetto State would have at least known the men who demanded Will Allen to quickly sentence him to death. The political situation now presents an ugly picture. It shows that the president of these United States has been held in too high an esteem. The Negroes would have done well to have thrown their whole support to the Democrats and elected one instead of the present incumbent, for certainly we would expect nothing from a Democrat and therefore would not have been disappointed to receive nothing. President Harding has so disappointed and startled the Republicans of this country that they will not hereafter be dead by sugar coated speeches, "front porch" or no "front porch." The recent statement of the president that he will not appoint Southern Negroes to office, but Negroes of the North, meets with no more approval by Northern race men than by Southern race men. That this is true is better shown by Northern race men entering into the fight for Southern race men even more courageously than Southern men themselves. The There is no doubt about it, there is too much crime among our people. We do not hold that there is more among us than any other, but we do hold that there is too much among the Negro race matters not how much other people commit. One thing accounts for a deal of convictions which send many of our young men to the chaingang, is lack of employment, which causes them to be sentenced as vagrants. We venture the assertion that many young men who are on the city chaingang are there because they were out of employment and could not find employment, is why they were not engaged in some kind of work. In these readjustments to pre-war conditions, when the city and county can work the streets and county roads with convict labor and a few guards to see that they do labor, much cheaper than they can hire it done, it would pay our honest young men to be very careful how they loiter around on the streets in company with the don't care kind. Too, we would admonish the ministers and other men and women to help secure employment for our boys. If you cannot throw more business in the way of our doctors and business men, solicit of those whose business you do support, work for the boys, and try to keep them off the streets. A Real Building and Loan Association. On the opposite page we had the pleasure la~* week, and it is repeated this week, to publish the announcement of a "Real" race building and loan association. We invite the attention of our readers to this announcement, and advise all who can, as well as those who feej that they cannot, to subscribe for shares in the same. This building and loan association is duly organized under the laws of South Carolina, and each person subscribing to shares will be fully protected. The officers and board of directors are all honest and upright men of various walks of life, who see the shortcomings of our people in Columbia and have decided to add to our racial advancement in the commercial world. This is one of the long needed ventures for our people which should meet the approval of every colored citizen and should be subscribed to by every one. With Mr. N. H. Collins as president, Dr. L. M. Daniels, vice president, Dr. A. E. Huggins, secretary and Mr. H. E. Taylor treasurer, there can be no failure, and no one should entertain such an idea. Books of subscription will open today, Saturday, September 3rd, and at least 500 shares should be sold. Men, women and children should obligate themselves today and get in the channel of prosperity by taking out shares in this concern. Read the announcement for terms and comply. "Crimes Among Negroes." The Columbia State, in its issue of August.27th, conveys the idea that Negroes are too well supplied with deadly weapons. Reading between the lines of this short editorial, one would but conclude that The State is hinting that the law enforcers should see that less fire arms are in possession of Negroes. 'Tis true that within a few days two homecides were reported from Newberry and that two other Negroes were killed, all by Negroes. Such has not happened before in many days, and the like may not happen again in many years to come, and The Indicator hopes will not happen again within or out the borders of the old Palmetto State.

The killing of a dozen Negroes, accidental or intentional, by Negroes, cannot by any means be painted as heinous, disorderly or a violation of law and order as did the one lynching at McCormick a few Sundays ago by those who make the laws and are entrusted to their keeping. And what about the lynching of Allen at Chapin last week? Death, of course, should have been his reward if the published statements be true, and we presume they are, but what does the law of South Carolina say about it? Some Negroes in South Carolina, as in every other State, are violators of the law, but what about a mob of a thousand or more of unmasked men in the broad daylight, taking a prisoner from men who are sworn to protect him at the peril of their own lives, and yet not a single man could be identified by the officers? This is a case that The State, like the Columbia Record, should so strongly deal with that the Governor and other officers would feel it just as much their duty to go the limit to have the constituents of that mob brought to justice, just as readily as the superintendent of the State prison will offer rewards for escaped convicts entrusted to their keeping.

The Record has made many new friends by its new decision to uphold law and order, and the paper that fails to follow its course, not only will it lose friends, but it will fail to do the greatest good to all the people it can. The Indicator contends that the majesty of the law should be upheld, irrespective to the man or race involved. Otherwise laws are not needed. If attention must be directed to a few Negroes who destroy a few among themselves, and attempt to evade the officers or willingly give themselves up to the law, what, in the name of law and order, is to be expected when thousands of white men trample the very laws they themselves make, under the dust, and defy the officers? The end is not yet. For First Class Repair Work on Stoves and Ranges, Call No Matter What You Stove Troubles Are SEE VINSON Second Hand Heaters and Stoves For Sale M. C. H. OWEN & PA Phone 1963.

Our space is very limited, and, there are many to be heard from, as well as other articles of deep interest to all the people, rather than a few persons in a few communities. We have many articles on file now that are closed out by lengthy ones. Too, while it is a fact that we must have something to go into these columns, some articles we receive from time to time cost us more to set the type than a whole year's subscription, and they benefit the writers by far more than they do the publishers. We have some articles sent in by parties who are not subscribers. We don't publish those kind unless cash arrangements are made. Too, we get articles with extensive boosting of persons who are not subscribers and will not subscribe, and to boost them is unfair to us. We are cutting down some articles and others we are cutting out altogether. We invite your attention any way to our editorial columns for terms. Too, we would call the attention of our bounteously supplied with incident writers, that to keep The Indicator going each week we greatly depend upon our job printing for sustainance.

C. boast of 260,000 or more, as we will soon be call together in our State Convention, to raise 50,000 dollars, yet there has been very little said and done about it if any thing, and all of us know that without an organized system over this State, we will fail. We must do this before the Baptist cause at Morris College in particular can ever hope to succeed. As a layman seeking neither honor nor office, but the welfare of the Bapt. cause in this State. I have been thinking as to who would be the Moses to place at the head of this great denomination in our State? Regardless of friend or foe, what we need is a man to get in line, put us on a system that we can make a showing creditable with our number. A man that has the ears of all South Carolina. A man whose record will be his endorsement for the honored position of president of our convention. Whose loyalty and support is undisputed. While thinking over these conditions that confront us as a denomination, and the man to fill this place, I see standing out amidst the brotherhood like a great mountain peak, Dr. J. C White of Columbia; a man that has the confidence and ears of the entire brotherhood of South Carolina. As a planner and organizer this can be seen in his own monument, Zion, in the pulpit and on the platform he is the equal of any, therefore I as a layman feel safe in endorsing Dr. J. C White of Columbia, as the man to be elected President of the Baptist State Convention of South Carolina. T. A. WILLIANS, Newberry, S. C. CARD OF THANKS.

Chappelle Sounds Keynote—Plans Are Made for Bigger Fair Nov. 1st-4th, 1921. The Executive Committee met in Columbia, S. C., August 11th, and put on a very constructive program for the fair this fall. A suggestion by Bishop W. D. Chappelle that we organize each district of the State became a very happy thought of the meeting. This was indorsed by R. W. Westberry, who declared that we should put on a great State Fair revival. This idea was further sanctioned by acting upon a thought of E. J. Sawyer's, who stated that we authorize and instruct each member of the Executive Committee to appoint persons in each county in the State, requesting them to interest the people and to bring exhibits to the fair this fall. Commence to begin to get ready to start to go to the great agricultural, mechanical and educational fair. Premiums will be paid. There will be attractions, exhibits, music, football and fun by the ton each day. Prepare to bring the whole family this fall from the baby in the cradle to the grandma in the rocker. Four big days. Executive Board—Dr. J. H. Goodwin, president; T. A. Williams, treasurer; R. W. Westbury, superintendent; A. W. Hill, Secretary; Bishop W. D. Chappelle, Green Jackson, G. C. Williams, W. S. Watson, W.
