establishothers: The organization of
large business .-enterprises should
take precedence of banking. So obpossoJ
have been some of our Negroes
with the idba of being bankers,
that ive know of an instance where
th0 the president of the Negro bank
was ianitor in t Vrn wV>itn T+
was assumed that a man who workod
around abank would know banking.
The Negro janitor was made
president. The bank failed. Asido
from holding our jobs, which are basic
and primary to ever" phase of
Negro life, our attention should bo
directed towards establishing new

If somP of our "high-powered'' Negro
cvrticisers and white man abusers
would concentrate their attention on
this self same matter of promoting
larger Negro business lifej we could
actually get somewhere. The failure--of.
the Binga Bank was a failure
in the Negro's business volume and
organization and this failure is due
largely to our kick-of miTrsis on

chief part of his work is contracts

privilege to make a visitation to the
woods and see 40 or 50 liicn sawing
down trees, and cutting them into
ties. The ties . are; then ; hauled . *

On last Sunday a largo crowd '
greeted the pastor, who had just re-''
turned from Charleston in attendance *
of the ^State League and Sunday
School Convention. To sav we had
a great fea-t would bo expressing it
in mild"terms. We hod quite a largo
number- of visitors present. Among
the number was Rev. Hodge of Floronco;
Prof, -and-Mrs. Gordon?and a
host of others who, I do jio^ have
spaco to mention. Visitors are always
welcome t oour church.
The review Sunday morning by Mr.
Raymond Ransom was a real
treat to the whole school. Mr, Ransom
is fast forging his way to the
frontr II,. 1? a student of Allen ilnf-- 1

Mr. Shepherd Thompson is another
one of Ebornezer's .stars anwng the
young people, lie is a recent grad-- uat(,
of the high sr*bool department

keen their garments white. The pns- tor
and members only wish they had ^
more of their type. The young people
of our city delight in attending
church services. * ,
I am sure the Reporter selcted in
Charleston -will give duo account of .?
the meeting, but-, J just want to say
this much: fr was a great meeting."
Bishop R. C. Ransom is a mighty
power among men and South Carolina
is bound to follow his lead. We
havA,h mighty fine , group. of P^esid- i
ing Elders who tviTT do credit to any s- ag
state and we are^ proud of them. j
? Dr.- J. E. Beard*is making goc/d^as

people gladly follow his lead. Hb
The writer, his Jvife ami children
stopped in the A. M.~E.' Manse of
Mt. Zion, and truly^the pastor and ?
his queenly wife made it pleasant
for us. They are doing well, as all
of the other pastors of Charlestoii?
