We heard sometime ago that
a certain millinery store in this
city di i not allow Negroes to try
on their hats and when prices
were jquoted to Negroes they
were unreasonably high presum
ably tp shew that they did not
care tojserve Negroes. Whether
or aot the foregoing are undeni
able facts we are not certain but
it is hoped so, and that the time
is not far distant when others
will sjerve Columbia's big Ne
groes with the same big dose of
non-appreciation and scorn,
Less; time killed on the streets
of our jtown8 and cities by minis
ters, business and professional
men and more time at their vari
ous avocations would mean bet
ter sejrvice in their respective
lines as well as advancement for
the race.

According to reports there was
an average of $53.42 per capita
July 4s against $57.18 a year ago.
Just $3.76 less. Judging from
the universal complaints and our
personal financial holding there
must j be something wrong with
that [report. Somebody else
must ! have our much needed
$53 4$,

Wejacknowledge the reminder
from jour old friend, Rev. I. S.
Taylofr of Rembert to witness his
Fifteenth Anniversary as pastor
of 8;. John Baptist Church.
Long ago Rev. Taylor assured us
that curs was a standing invita
tion tp all of his churches at all
timesj All he has to do now is to
reminld us of any special meet
ing. I We are sorry however that
we cjmld not be present. Next
time Rev. Taylor we shall be on
the jo^b or send a representative.
Th? strong and very timely
link jtalk made by.Prof. W. D.
Princje in favor of Morris College
and racial cooperation at Second
Calvary Church last Sunday
morning will do much good for
our peonie here and everywhere
this message of hope and inspira
tion is carried. This messageis
the kjind that must of necessity
be c?rried into every nook and
corner of South Carolina if Mor
ris Cbllege is to be properly sup
ported and racial cooperation a
wakfrned in the Negro. It has
been ours to hear representatives
of schools and other institutions
manjy times before but never just
on tjie order which Prof Prince
presented his school. In this re
spect alone Dr. Starks is doing
a grjeater work than any presi
dent in the State. We cannot
witn any degree of certainty say
thai Racial Cooperation is a part
of the subject given Prof. Prince
by ?)r. Starks, we rather think
that Prof. Prince's broad vision
along this line makes him a man
broad enough for all the people,
whose interest is his, to link this
subject with Morris College.
We want more Princes on the
stage of action.

The Indicator would advise
lome ministers to lead honest
straightiorward Christian lives,
pay their hor est debts, and stop
iabbling into so many things not
in keeping with the call they
claim to have and there will be
less knocking and hammering on
the ministry. Perhaps if the
Ministerial Unions would lay as
much stress on such in their ses
sions as they do on the kind of
sermons to preach 'and how to
conduct church affairs, they
would do much to set those hypo
crits among them right.
There are some of them who
just will not pay honest bills and
keep a good name with business
and professional men. And its
indeed a reflection on the minis
try.
Its a common thing for almost
any business or professional man
to name many ministers who owe
them honest bills which seem im
possible to be collected.
The minister who is guilty of
[such allows his bad record to
speak louder than the greatest
sermon he can preach. Yet he
wonders why he doesn't get the
approval of his congregations
when he has done his best in the
pulpit. Get right brother and
your sermons will be more effec
tive.
A Hint To The Wise
in an editorial squib a few
weeks ago we stated tha ' the
days of yore when parents did
not allow their daughters to go
out at night without mother's
presence should return" and we
are " b e i n g convincto more
each day that the suumentis
true, especially as relate* iu some
of the "upper tens" ahd aspir
ants to this ciass. ihe way
some of these are c kicked is by
no moans complimentary nor
does it lend wholesome inspira
tion to the younger set. Some
one has said "Some of these
young folks ought organize them
selves into a 'Mid-Night Ram
blers' Association' and so badge
themselves "
The Indicator somewhat agrees m
with the statement as such would
be a fitting badge of distinction.
Too, when persons are needed in
pablic work such as teachers in
Churches and" sueh/ such ones
will not be mistakenly put in
places ahead of the more worthy
?those who first look after the
borne and live above suspicion.
There is a common expression
on the lips of many like this : 11
"Matters not how you live, what
you say or do, people are going
to talk any how." This is no
expression for the girl or woman
to make if she lives above criti-.,
eism. In fact in too many cases |
they resolve to do wrong on the
ground that, "peopie will talk
anyhow." But the girl who
leads the right life and will set
her ''face like a flint" against
the temptations that always leadja
tnem to destruction, can and will
^ver come and thus lead a pure
life?such as will withstand any
an becoming criticism by those
tvho would see their down fall.
A hint to the wise is sufficient. 2

Victory Bank A Certainty. a
The Victory Savings Bank is '
low a certainty. The charter 1
las been secured, officers elected ?
md despite the hard times, much a
noney is available and the Bank 1
vili in due time have a big open
ng in this city, such as will in- :
ect new life into every phase of '(
msiness with which the colored 2
ire identified. f
The officers of this bank are
lonest upright business and ?
>rofessional men. The Board of C
)iroctors is a set of equally as P
rood men and women who will a
ee that the affairs of the bank *
9ill be properly conducted and 0
he people's interest cared for in P
he same manner. I
What's ne.rded now is a gene
al uniting am >ng Columbians ?
m this bank. / Every stockholder 0
hould see that his friends buy as
nuch stock as possible and re- 8
>ort at the next meeting which n
vili be called by the Board ot t
directors. As to failure, there "
:an be none matters not what a
he critics may say to the con- h
rary. The right men are at the
lead and many of the right men 1<
md women are behind them t
>acking them in their right d
efforts. E
Let there be no knojekers a- a
nong us men, for once let's all n
mil togetherjmd put the Victory s
Javings Bank over as quickly as fc
)ossible and thereby put Colun\ t
>ia on the map with other pro- I
rressive towns and cities. u
Any person who would do the n
east to retard the progress of t
his long needed institution does n
ust that much to retard his own -
progress. It's like "cutting off t(
m?'s nose to Spite his face." 6

Another Playground.
Under the splendid leadership
of Mrs. A. S. Williams, presi
dent of The Home Makers Club,
and the kindness of President
Antisdel of Benedict College, A
Community Playground was
opened on Benedict's Campus
yesterday for children of the
city. This is another step for
ward in the right direction and
The Home Makers Club deserves
much credit, for establisoing a
playground lb which all colored
children have access while the
city fathers go on their way
making provision for every com
fort and amusement for white
children to the complete ex
clusion of Colored children with
:he exception of one which is
scarcely known one of its im- ^
nediate community. And that
me had to be petitionod and
)egged for as th ugh ;he Ne
groes had ne busi 05 * ich one. I
President Avn<d- d ei a good
)art for the Color d people of
Columbia ai-.ti vicin i> vuienhe
>pened v.^c his .atts u The] I
ionie Makers 1 iub in interest of _
he children. This will go a long! =
vay in .moulding sentiment for'
he new administration.
The In'iicaui! rather likes the
pirit of The Home Makers Club,
o do something for ourselves at
he failure of the city to do for
is and in this way it will go a
Dng ways to encourage the City
0 do more of its duty for us. 11
To sit supinely by waiting for c
hose, who have so little interest
n us, to do their duty by us is a
>oor way of getting our wants
upplied. If they will not do,
re must do the best we can for ~
urselves or have the charge of ?
ieglect placed against us of just q
,s grave a nature as theirs.
