Church in South Carolina has distinguished him ggif as a wonderful race leader. His noble ^efforts are not simply confined to his denomination but to all the'people. irrespective of creed. . No man is truly a. race leader whose usefulness does. not exceed his denomination. The recent forum for Columbia composed ofdeaders of all denojn- j inations, to be the organized voice j of colored citizens is the result, of j his intelligent vision.?Bisliop Ran- j som-in his endeavors to help his peo- ; ptcriloes not only occupy methodist , pulpits but baptist and presbyterians | pulpjts as well. His i? the most sano.j position when it comes to political : parties. The bishop is. right. I am j convinced to believe that when it ] conies to political parties, the one that | does, the most good for all the peopTe is the one to support, whether, j democrat or republican. While bis- j hop Ransom givps the comicctional , school his .untiring support he does j . not refuse ah" opportunty to speak to j the young people of his. race in the | goteriiiiieiit schools as wdh?This is no new thing for hint in this stat/>.

The singingmt the church I attended that day was not to be com pa led in .my way withthat I heard from the chain gang that morning. On that chain gang were sweet tenors, tine bass voices and . good sopranos. The church I attend ; ed had .in its choir persons singing ; from botheration on down. That , chain gang chorus many of whom were out of thatT&me church comihu- j nity could melt your eyes to tears.

' "Legal Electrocution" While passing through the town ?of Union last Monday, my attention was called b,r a stream of -ebple both wjlite and colored passing in and out ffi THK NEW RIDER P ELLIS of Jeter's up-to-date undertaking establishment. My curiosity became aroused and I too fell in the line*. The sight that was to be seen were the jremyins of one of the finest young than that ever saw. His body .was shipped from Washington,' D. C., sometime during that night. Looking Upon his death stilled form, one would imagine he was a high school p.rincinal or a noted physician, or a gosnel minister or a leading christian citizen that had ditjd an honorable death. But/when saw thve death certificate from Washington. I read as the cause of his death, "legal electrocution." The young man had t illed a man and woman in Washington ami had been given thirteen court. triyls 'in three years. Rut finally ended-up in the electric chair. ThoiT^ sands of dollars were .spent by the government to prosecute this young nrnn and by his family and friends in his defense.. He was 25 years old when he was put to death .and- about 22 when the crimes were committed. But I simply mention this incident 'o snow now our young1 peopie nxe (ho prodigal.son are spending the portion the good father' has given them in riotous living.

Dr. McGill is report ed ill with the Flu. L. M. D The Southwestern Christian Advocate, published in New Orleans, furnishes interesting data on illiteracy in the United States. It reports about .1,000,000 illiterates among the whites and 1,842,101 nmong Negroes ten years of age and over. Secretary i if the Inferior \Uflbur and" the Nnr-H t ional Advisory Committee on 111 it- i racy report that in twenty four stat- 1 es instruction has been givenJLo^ 1^05. The proportion of Negroes to whites I is somewhat appalling, but while this is to be regretted there ~are many reasons' for this disparity.u At an early day the excuse for not providing education for the Negro-was that i he could not learn, and later that he I did not need to learn. Fortunately j both of these positions have .been; proven untenable. Modern opinion; ""North and South has assumed ITT much moro fovorable attitude to-j' wards Negro education. It is worthy of wide spread public-i-1 T.y-th^t the State Superintendent of j Public .Education of Louisianna, Dr. T. II. Harris, addressing the confer-J once on education, at a meeting of i rhe National Council of State Super-1 intendents and Commissioners of Ed-j ucation with the United States OfTiee i comber, gave a courageous statement' of the cause of a large percentage of j Negro illiteracy. We quote short-bx-1 tracts from his published address. "We have adhered to the view that | education was intended for certain j classes of people, while other classes . i should be excluded from its benefits. The admission is not at all to our credit. If elementary schools had 1 con provided at the beginnig of the public school systems in the various states for all children of all races, ' I' ' ""'? ? wo should have pursued. Our mistake should be rectified, as far as- possible, by providing a limited amount of elementary instruction, for adult illiterates in the different states, and' by the rigid enforcement of compul-1 sorv attendance, insure schooling for every ehiM -in- the Umtefb- Statos^'-b, j "The perpetuation, safety, and sue-' cess of our economic," political, and spiritual institutions require tnat an of the people shall be instructed, and , in order to realize this ideal, all child-1 ren of all races in the United States should be required to attend ^chool. State.departments of education should .assume ithe leadership in providing instruction fox adult illiterates, and State governments, assisted by -the ?Federal- Government, should-finr*x-o such instruction. Prompt and vigor-' ous Efforts in this field will practically Swipe out illiteracy in the United States within the next two or three years." l i. L. M. Dunton, ~T)rangeburg, S. C., March 9" 1931.
