The Exchange bank has again demonstrated its ability to serve the . public in a great capacity. The latest good move by this big banking institution is to place a "customers' exchange" board in the lobby of the bank, for the accommodation and convenience of those who want to buy and those who want to sell. The white want ads on the black board look attractive. Customers are already taking advantage of the opportunity to do business. All interested will find that it pays to advertise. < The Whitmire post of American lecion was ore-anized on Friday nieht. with a good attendance and lots of enthusiasm. Post Commander Hal Kohn of the Newberry County post, Adjutant David Caldwell, Post Finance Officer B. M. Scurry and Claud Smith, a member of the local post, went over and helped the Whit-. mire boys organize. Otis Suber deserves the credit for getting the post started over there, and with that fine bunch of former service men to draw from they should have one of the best posts in the state. MANCE MAY BE BISHOP \ I j Has Been Indorsed by Two Churoh 1 il The State, 22nd. !? Negro communicants of the Afri- ? can Methodist church in South Caro- | !ina are anxious to have Dr. R. W. I Mance, president of Allen university, I elected to the bench of bishops in | that church next May at the meeting I of the general conference which I meets in St. Louis, Missouri. The I conferences ofthe church in this state ? last summer indorsed Dr. Mance for j this office. The connectional council Ij which met with the bishop's council in | Baltimore last week also indorsed Dr. I Mance. ? i rj If Dr. Mance is elected to the bish- ^ opic, he will be the third successful ' ? candidate from this state elected to that office since 1912. In the general inference of 1912, Bishop W. D. ^ Chappelle, now bishop of this diocese, cc ivas elected. In 1906, when the m quadrennial general conference met i in Philadelphia, Bishop W. W. Bracket, now bishop of the African diocese in West Africa, was elected. In the ?\ drive and election of the former min- ?! isters elected from this state, Dr. 01 Mance was one of the leading figures ac in the campaigns. Both Beckett and.V Chappelle were elected from the office : as president of Allen university. Robert Weston Mance was born at Cokesbury, in 1876. His father, the Rev. M. Mercer Mance, was an Afri- J1< can Methodist preacher prominent in P( politics during the reconstruction ^ period. R. W. Mshice was educated in va Hoge high school, Newberry and j graduated from Clafiin university i ivith the degree of A. B. He was ofc principal of the negro high school at se dewberry for ten years and won the th respect and onftdence of both races in ivhile in that field. Mance was i licensed to preach in 1901 by the = Rev. Hyram Young, presiding elder of th :he Columbia conference. He was1 A: ordained elder by Bishop L. J.'m L oppin and has served successfully er some o fthe largest appointments m t\\ Lhe A. M. E. church. At the timejvc 3f his election to the presidency of c0 Allen univei'sity he had served as eft presiding elder of the Beaufort dis-? trict. Some "of Dr. Mance's con- j structive work has been done by him ; ^ as ranking member of the auditing committee of the office of the com- i q misioner of finance of his church, and : jj his great work at Alfen university. | ? Mance has done wonderful good work ! t at Allen and has one of the largest siuuents eiiiuiinieiius 01 any negro college in the state. L] At the forthcoming general con- j q, ference, it is said, that four bishops 1 will be elected. Mance is one of the j strongest men in the connection and ai is supported by the South Carolina d< delegation. j The general conference meets in every four years ^nd is made up of d, from eight fo ten delegates from each a] annual conference.. There are 75 h; annual conferences in this country and Africa. The African work is under the supervision of Bishop W. w W. Beckett or South Carolina and fi: Bishop I. N. Ross of Baltimore.
