"A SHORT STORY WRITER"
Flovd Calvin, in his digest in the .' Pittsburgh
Courier, of .last week called attention to the wtii-i
. .. mgs of a former Columbia resident aud'higlt<schno!
graduate of Allen University. So.hie time ago under
the title "A Rising Star" the Palmetto i'.i'a.Oci
carried an editorial which predicted a brilliant career
as a write!* for Walter Simnigns, to"wli-nrf M i.
Calvin refers in his comment
? r-'- Mr. Calvin. can's attention to something we '!
. ... . i nitjeciit. . I.et him apcakf"It is thocglit by in.:;
, eople that the Negro should write only aborit "hinw

people:. ' But it is. pleasant to know there are so . - j

It'.is ever' our .contention that suncrior a'?i!-if.
will iind its reward. Mr. Simmons' stories am : j
perior to many, of. the . other short, stories that.. p. i
pear in tiie Daily News and we believe from : l.o i
-frequency with which his, stories are printed thin j
m that his stories are accepted hy that paper wii h !
greater. regularity than are those-"of any other \\ :

It \va> a pleasure for the writer to call to.the a:

foundation for such splendid deductions as- 11,
shown in the Simmons' stories.v Not.docs-,-any tea. -; "
