' -.-7* ,f p. s.- . >
From June 11 to June 13 the_L_B^P.
O. E. of the World of South Car'olina
met, and were royally entertained in
Charleston.
' On Monday evening, June 6th at
0:00 o'clock was the- official beginning
of a good time for the Elks wJ\^jjathered
in Charleston at the Morri$ St.
-- ?Baptist Church, where wc.woi'o
ed by many-hundreds of Charleston-.
ians and nearby citizens.
Mr. E. A. Hamilton was master of
ceremonies and played his part very
satisfactorily to every one. Mr. G.
I.pp Grand
Lodge President, was present and as..
.sisted Mr. Hamilton in conducting
this great meeting.of Elks and friends
-The opening cde was "Great Ruler of
the Universe".Prh^er was offered.
. by the Rey, jl-J5r Ptmhaa-;'Bfr. E. A.
Hamilton ' the public the
Rurppsft C uamoth gathering.
The Rev r\ Buckhardt of
Charleston n lieu of Mfeyor
Stoney, who v.op. mpe the visiting Bills
and other visitors in behalf of the citizens
of Charleston who address was
very good. Our Dr. D. H. Sims, pres_
ident of Allen University, responded
.to Rev. Buekhardt's address, which
was the greatest and most intelligent,
response that the writer has ever
heard,and which set the entire hundreds
of persons on new and elevating
thoughts of intellectual fire so
much that rapping seemingly Was in
order for a long, long time. - Our;
white people usually leave when- he
.or she gets through speaking, but I
feel that the Rev. Buckhardt could
anly say as one of old, "Didn't our
hearts burn within. ;u* fl'hile Dr. D.

Ruley, the Hon J. Finlqy Wilson,
woh could not be presont with us, and
who tilled the bill by far and-greater
thhn anyone who has spoken in our
body, st?te or national.
The Rev. Buekhardt (white) spoke
in part of the growing intelligence of
the Negro. Dr. Sims in- reply sai 1
that if* Charity, Justice, Brotherly
Love , which are embodied in the prin_
ciples of both orders as our white
bro'her has said, v.ore practiced as is
taught, then lynching would stop in
a moment, and' politics, religion, and
economic education would nlav its
part in A short time. Dr. Sima lur^.
ther stated that regardless of what
-any race can or will say, that no tallc
is worth a dime unless bvohterly- love
. is its-bftsisT^'
t? Air. Samuel Fleming of Charleton,
spoke in boh* If of the lodges, which

our entire stay in the city "by" the

entertained by a solo by Alisa
Lavenia Lewis. Aliss N. A. AL?Queen
gave.us a very appropriate-talk, also
Mrs. Douglais of Chester, S. C.

of Virginia also gave us a nice
talk.?Mrs* G. Loo Ratliff, the wife
of our president, played a solo which
was -ung by Air. Robert Cannon of
? ? ^Columbia, which was -extraordinarily^
goou.
After finishing they were rapped
back only to do . better than before,
and they have gone down in the history
of Elkdbm as real entertainers.,
Dr. Fj. R. Riley of Reck Hill introduced
the state ofiicers of-the orde^,
which were in turn more fully introducedv-by
Bill C. II. Dannelly of Columbia,
Bill Joel II. Jackson was
called upon, to respond;, to all the

?spoke in poetiy which was very new.
in the line of responses and was very
plonsmg to all. We were then dismissed
by Rev. J. C. Dunbar, and re. .
" turned to our^comfortable and aflfa-1

Wo reassembled tho next day. at
Dnrt's Hall and went into hard work,
hten ln+er we recessed for the greatest
parade in the history of our or.

at 1:30 P. * e'ng lojf by the Charles

kindly spoken of by hundrcdsSvho re-narked-that

but I had to take my dose.
Nobody praising me after cheering?myT^>eet4tr4nrtrrhrrndrcds
kept
praising our Dr. D. II. Sims" which
was another'dose for me t.-iilv to swallow.
The auto~ln which wo were rid-ing
pausod at (be long bridge jus'
before crossing to go to the picnic
grounds at Maryville, when one colored
woman came to the^vnr where.
Mr. Robert Cannon and I were.scaled.
and gazing into Mr. Cannons face,
sne snut, "Mister, you, all sure look
too fine." o*?
1^ don't know wftcthci or not Mr.
Canon introduc 1 himself to her, for
I was busy tah'ng noios and watching
the Charlosionians, well dressed
men hi JbeauiU'iU white. Jlu.ineL.punts
and white shirts, and beautiful purple
saslies which were added features to
the parade, but I do, know that he
was somewhat late for supper. Another
beautiful thins in the parade
again was an F.Ik placed upon one of
the floats with outstretched horn?,
keen eyes and a little "boy rutins a
tricicle garbed in the uniform of Kikdom.

President Rat 1 iIT was called upon to

alone cause his re-election. Di\ Joseph

. from the North at an earlier day and
?made the South their homo hnd wr^r

t : nothing at stake.

t ( \var taught it hianhaod ?as the last
.1 great war taught manhood to Lonl
i don's gutter- rats*
.I -Hut the better class was killed off
,! in those first bloody years, and most of
i those who survived the-war ami tame
, back to the horror of reconstruction
j were low-grade men.
i Were there no true moo? Indeed.
' j there were?else the South would yet
) be prostrate under, the heel of a cari
pet-bagger political machine and the
[Negro would yet be in the saddle.
| There were brave ' and noble men
' to take the lead in a fight to preserve
what was left of a broken civilization,
and there were styrdy thousands "who
had ?iot been classed as gentlemen
~ before the war, but now were to prpve
themselves upring and unafraid.
? These made the New South.
But also there was thq trash. The
i trash came home? to a new democ-va~

It found, itself the balrtnce of pow%

It began to elect demagogues to

"It begot children after its kind,

- mouths religious phrases- and prates
j of its1 integrity and its chivalry and
- frmVns upon pleasures that once were
enjoyed by the gentry is nevertheless
i j full, of lying, cheating, the uttering
of debts, secret drunkenness and cow- "

money and luh(V-and bank stock, and

i l^>od is in its veins and there isn't I
room in the same veins for anything '
refaotely resembling honor.
Some of the trash still is poor, and ;

is changing-, too. Only a few years a.
go conventions were the gathering
grounds for hangers-on, political
mountebanks, grafters and preachers
with long greasy coats. Few of the
mouching gentry are to be seen here
in Kansas City; Those present ajre
.men of affairs, leaders in business,
professional and commercial life, with,
a bishop or two among the representatives
of the church. They are a well,
dressed, intelligent group, men of -inlliioiHo
and affairs. The -politician
j who used to hand out a few dollars
| and think he had performed a service
to the entire race is somewhat mystified
by the bearing of the delegations
j which "call" up(OTi""htiT~now to present
claims'to one sort tr another; How
to- increase the effectiveness- ofthe ~
Negro vote at thejiorth while holding Von
to the power in national eonvcn
'lias boon the subject of many little
gatherings. These have sprouted in
several instances into meetings, of
some size, but ip most the motive behind
them was? nnmc. suntc interest- .?
ed aspirant for the .position of "political
leader of the race" or "mana
gcr of the" next campaign." Three
distinct meetings have been held thus
fcvr. One was sponsored by Bishop A
J..-C rey and had as speakers, the ;
Bishop, Oscar DePriest, Ernest Tid
| ringt, n and C. P. Howard. It named
a committee on "purpose and func. . i.tlon"
and another on. "designation
I and name." On the committee' were
; Bishop Carey, O. P. Howard of Des ,
Moines, Ernest Tidrington, C. P. How' *
i ai d, Page Beverly, C. S. Williams, B.

Adams, a lawyer from Omaha, active
| in the A. M. E. Church, said that'the
seriousness and importance of the
gathering clespite-the meagerness of ^ "1
its size "could not be over estimated." ,
Finley Wilson of the Elks sponsored
