On the Society page-of The State of - Sunday,
August 23 there appears an interesting- item which
fell -of?a?young woman who conducts a DancingS
'oois' having studied during the summer in New
k under some of the masters, of the dafice.
i_4l .rn is ot -particular interest, to us because
among those masters appears-the name Bill Robinson.
The following is gaid about Bill in the item:'
"Bill Robinson's overwhelmning popularity with
vaudeville, and revue audiences lu-re and nlrroad Jin.
: made his name a synonym for perfection in rythmic
ar". He has rabnerh a hitheTfb~TnYfmportant sTyltfTJT
dancing to the realm of true artistry through his
o e eign talent and relentless application to itsBroadway
stars and generally admitted as the
greatest tap dancc-r in tho wurJd."
Thus a Negro wakes t he .Societi page of-a greift
?Sotrtht. n newspaper:?Though the article eh cs' no*
state that Bill Robinson is a Netrro, it is well

SILAS WALKER SHOWS HOW
A letter frorp F. M. Rast, County Agent, of
Clarendon County was published in the State Monday
morning, September 14, praising the procedure
of Silas Walker, Negro farmer of Clarendon County.
Mr. Rast thinks that Mr. Walker's way of
Arming sets a splendid example for other farmers
f to follow in these times and we think so too.
Mr. Rast goes into "the TTetaiTs of Mr. WalkeFs
methods and recommends them as being basically
sound. He concludes that even though Mr. Walker

a white man moaning away his melons, and the C
