The Indicator and the publisher will take their variation next week. The publisher intenjds visiting the Business League and j spreading the news to those who do not attend, in the issue of the 27th. Don't miss this issue. !?*?** A few nighti ago a white man, sup posedly in company with other white men, in a certain city, was seen by two white ladies pfeeping in their window. The conclusion of robbery was imme diately reached, but nobody was caught, nobody placed in jail, there fore nobody ?taken out of jail and beaten. But jhis was not Greenwood -perhaps thajt accounts for it. The stand jThe Indicator takes to encourage mojre patronage for Negro enterprises cjosts The Indicator in more than onk way. It does not only cost us the space and time it uses but there are* those who will not adver iiead"^$nviting business to their establishments, we rather tell our people ndt to trade with them by continually advising them to patronize their own. T?bis is a fact and a work we are doing; for many who seem to think it is but our duty. And conse quently give; us but passing notice, leaving us to sink or swim by our self, while tlfey reap a rich harvest. But some dayl perhaps they will realize the worth of ?Negro journals and will at least not only subscribe for their own papers j but advertise freely in them and promptly pay for same. That's our h^pe, at any rate. * * * President Harding is now awarding Southern Negroes for their strong to gether pull tb have him elected Presi dent of these United States by seeing, as ex-President Taft declared he would do and did, tjhat no Southern Negro is appointed tQ any ?office where he t would be offensive to white people. The President either said what he didn't mean in his front porch speeches or =is now saying what he doesn't mean. * # * The Negrojes have been paid off with hot speech promises long enough. It is now highj time that they so com pletely register and unite that they can command some respect of the very people that |the Taft-Harding adminis tration cl?i rn they are offensive to. But, of course, this can only be done by Negroes themselves putting race pride and principles above a "mess of pot tage." * * * Mid-night ; fish fries seem to be one of the leading schemes of amusement these nights. We do not know what the mothers and fathers think of this, but The Indicator thinks that if our girls would devote such time thus spent at borne helping parents and guardians and reading wholesome lit erature, etc., a more wholesome at mosphere would prevail around our girls and the remarks, "I can't find a girl to trust" would be less used by some of the young men who plan and defray all expenses for such past times, if * * * ; There is much yet for some young women to learn for their betterment, which some have learned just a little too late to make corrections. ? ? ? "Negroes have no rights that a white President is bound to respect." President Harding has not said that, but the conclusion is, that's what he meant when he said that he will not "appojnt Southern Negroes to office. * * * Editor John Mitchell, of The Rich mond Planet, has been nominated a candidate for Governor of Virginia by the new party of that State. It seems that South Carolina and Georgia might as well get'busy and do some I thing too. Well, we are not expect I ng anything much out of South Caro I lina, but watch Georgia. The Negroes ! in that Congo State really do things. I Our white friends in Columbia are really looking out for the comfort and education of white youths to the com plete exclusion of Negro youths. This has no right so to be, but its really so in Christian Columbia. And the white heralds of the cross, as well as the colored ones, are still preaching the unadulterated gospel, while the leading business and professional men and women are standing idle waiting and grumbling as usual. Benedict College $5,000 Drive. Despite the fact Morris College is pronounced "the pride of the Negro Baptists of South Carolina," Benedict College should stand out pre-eminent ly, the mother of Morris College, and should not be forgotten hy her many sons and daughters in and out of the State. And The Indicator rejoices that there are many sons and daughters in this and other States who also rec ognize this fact and are rallying around their alma mater in her $5,000 drive. This by no means intends that Morris College needs to be neglected in the so doing, nor that it will. It sim ply calls for fulfillment of rightful du ties to the school that has done so much for the Negro Baptists of the State even before Morris College was born, and whose work is not deterred by Morris College's existence nor Mor ris College's by its existence. It is commendable to say that the heads of these two institutions are on the very best terms and are working to keep the best terms * between the two institutions. Both are working ;for the best education of the Negro and the field in which they are work ing is broad enough for both to work and bring about the desired result , without friction. And both will ( But what The Indicator wishes to < say mainly is that individuals and j churches are getting right into this , $5,000 drive for Benedict College. Churches in Columbia, to our personal j knowledge, are setting aside a certain j Sunday as Benedict Day to raise money on this drive and they hope, , by their united ?efforts, tamise a < creditable amount. This, The Indica- j tor hopes, is not only true of Colum bia, but every Baptist church in the t State and every alumnus of the col- j lege in other States. Every old stu- , dent as well should remember the col- ( lege in a financial way on this drive. \ To fail in raising this $5,000 means ^ that the college will fail to receive ^ the $10,000 promised by the General j Education Board. What will the sons s and daughters of Benedict do about j the matter? e Baptist Presidential Timber. '< It is now gradually coming to the surface. The present incumbent, Rev. Dr. J. S. Earle, will find at the next sitting of the Baptist Educational and Missionary convention that there is at least one more brother in the State who thinks that he can just as well if not better steer the old Baptist ship J safely to port. ? i As to any prospective presidential < timber to this high office The Indi cator has no fight to make on any one. ' And while it may be that there are ? others who can fill the position just as creditably as Dr. Earle, The Indi cator thinks that the brotherhood's 2 Christlike duty is to give Dr. Earle a /air and impartial trial to fill or fail 1 to fill this office another year duly jl elected by the people. And then his ( works the success of the convention ? ?will determine whether or not the con vention was Justified in conferring < upon him this signal honor. Certainly 1 Dr. Earle will not leave a stone un- '<? turned to crown the next sitting of 1 the convention and each succeeding < session with success, and if he should 1 fail in the least the fault must be < laid to the head and not the heart; 1 for no one can convince us to believe now that there is another in the State 1 with a deeper interest in the work 1 than he has. And brethren, if the fault should be of the head, would it * not be more the spirit of love to help J him, which would automatically help the cause, rather than fight him for 1 his place? 1 The Indicator is fully aware of the '* fact that it is not the organ of the Baptist family and that its editor is < not its authorized spokesman, never- '< theless we are a Baptist and feel that we have a right to a say in Baptist < affairs. Therefore we express the i opinion that the Baptist brotherhood would do themselves and the cause a ' great justice to stand by the present i incumbent, Dr. J. S. Earle. < J. C.
