Philip Eina X OUR DELEGATES MEETING T)ia A frJpon MotKn^licI il^ncfn f/>? both, ministerial and lay to "the General Conference at New York next May met in December ,at Columbia for organization, to elect a standard bearer, and to endorse aspirants for connectional recognition. Bishop Noah \V. Williams who presided at the opening of the meeting was courteous and respectful to every delegate, and ? ; v 1 saw it, a? exnert critic could not. discern any partiality 4" his rTiP~ ings. and decisions, while oceupyipg the chair.* He had said fot four years, thai llieie?were?f?m>aspirants for the Bishopric froiv this state, alL of whom were wo; thy men, and that he stood XoLrjaJ' of them, and would "not stand foj any one of the four, until the statt made choice- through its delegation. Sixty nine of the seventyfour delegates to the General Con ference were present at the meet ing. Four were absent. Two of that number were reported sick. One could not get away from his work of school teaching, and the other had truck Irouiiies rm t+rf; --(highway." Prior to the balloting for standard bearer Dr. r.. it. mc* Gill, withdraw from ' the race leaving the' choice to he made between doctors T. J. Mile-, Jesse ... Pi Pn 11 1 V A, -tdi'tm.-. 'l.h'. bishop then asked the remaining three men did they desire-td make speeches, all- of them replied Pi the negative. Each aspirant was allowed to narhe a teller and all agreed upon the secretaries. The r flectiuri?[TT"nil"d <o.i.niv and " fairer could have been held ii church ncir state. A DA M S, TH E WIN N K It Dr. Eugene A. Adams, kept ;t safe lead on his other two opponents in the castting of hoth ballots which it took tp elect. And - had?the?four?absent?v.'- r- Im ' gone solid to either of the-defeat-' ~:^TjmrtlTtntrTTT~-Vhmr-' 11it still led with a majoritv vote plus. It is thought however that the ah. 1 , 8ent~votes would have'been distributed. This may be true.Mnit I saw one of the absentee-" since the meeting and he said had he becrf there Adams, would have had an additional vote. I read the resolution in the Columbia Conference, putting Dr. Adam's, forth for that Holy office. I believe in leadership OUU l. ilf* IL'ilUUl U.I ' that conference when I was a member. Two years later, I was dismounted from the old Gray" with no feelings whatever to my good Bishop Williams and transferred to a brand new conference in which I had never served before, with only two .years to make a=record that would commend mv election to the General Conference. In the Palmetto ' Conference to which I was transferred, and giver" one of the best pastorates in tin entiie denonflmuion,, 1?fo-.;nd?Lu_ T. J. Miles-the acknow ledged "leader. With my same determinate']to, support leadership, I got behind Dr. Miles, with my infltunee. my speeches and my pen. I)r. Miles' said at my ^conference' during the time of voting tH7ft~ KF "HTnugIn li lost a few voted -because -of an article I wrote boosting him. Doubtless L did but there is one thing certain, I probably would not have been a, delegate had it not been" for the support of Dr. T. .1 Miles. He instructed his. ministers to write my .name on all o; their tickets. I shall ever be apnrfeiotitfA to 1% I ?% * ^/.? V*I,. r.... & i kindness. He was not afraid tolet his men know who he wanted oh his ticket. I still thank the' presiding elders, and ministers of the Palmetto confer.ence._\yho supported me. For I confess that it wa& no easy task to bp elected in two years from a conference like the Palmetto where there arc scores of grand and noble ministers. Had Dr. T. J. Miles, won the'standard bearership of the state, 1 would have been one of the worst *?inmates were I-tri >e . (pre--> rcgutc. THE STATE F-POKIy Every' delegate had the opportunity to say with a secret bhllot who he wanted for the bishopric from this state.- A secret ballot ione of the times when voters will express their hearts desire. It was this method at (lenerlil Cotlference that limited the bishop's term to 8 years. Adams. di,| no more to become the choice of the state than any of the others. i.ike the rest he went to all the conferences, and endeavored to win the delegates. Coerce, threats and bribes amount to nothing where sdfcret ballots^are to determine re suias. Jt is a settled fart that in order to get another standard . bearer Wou would h&ve To. tret another delegation. This delegation would do the same thintr agatn. And unless some unforeseen things intervene, South Carolina will be compelled to go' to New York presenting A'dams, its the state's choice for the bishopric in keeping with the expressed sentiment of over- a majority vote of the delegates to that body. To be continued. THE EPISCOPAL COMMITTEE Now I make no plea for the-; members of the Episcopal committee from this state to the ensuing General Conference, ministerial or UX' _ I belier# that they are true friends of the presiding bishop. I also believe that those four men are not the only true supporters of thu i' pi w-i?pi^l.-lUUilLL-.^5" TTTy-rrptnr ion there could have been nominated by that body four other men that would have been equally as true to Bishop Williams as Revs. Adams and Spears, or Messrs Har ris ami Thomas Bfit I will al\vays hold that every bishop in the church should at least be given the opportunity to express his wish j es as to the composition of that committee. In" fact the whole uum ii nwui'Miown is mui every i bishop Ttf Hie ehurflT has that cemnnttFeuiurlc up. of mern&ers~frlend ly disposed toward him. What bishop would ho so ''crazy" as to favor his enemies. for such a contmittoo. And any person out of harmony with a bishop, and desires to bo a member of that committee it is for the purpose of paying linr off. We ought at least be onsiderativ Presiding elders don't viint ministers in their districts that are not in accord wfETTthemT Pastors will remove officers that will not .cooperate with their- pro1 a IH. ^ hf?1?i"M *" " ' iOfl as n prisoner for the worst crime I "wtIP ly-e?iwt4?Uut?^u-iviletre of sek-eting the ^ury. So my advice to all of the bishops is, that they had' better see to it that their sup porters get on the Episcopal committee jf they don't want to be e 1. . 1 ... 1.? 1. n U III 1 m Iwil i?i ra'iu uav. r\ iv; r?iv uu?? u, AUAIN CHAIRMAN I In our delegate's organization, I was placed head of the publicity " (ininiTltei- whlcn position?I held A lien both I >? ctors ManeO and Sims were the standard bearers.

WII.U AM S' RETURN Some are inclined to doubt Bis-1 hop N'.'iih W. Williams desire to retuni Ho South Carolina. While I am not capable of discerning the secrets of the bishop's heart, hut in acquiring information from thor districts information from I saying no bishop in the A.M.K. I Church would he greeted with a | warmer reception on his return, than would Bishop Noah W. Williams in coining back-to this state. The resolution presented by Dr. J.I.. Bcnbow.at the meeting of delegates rightly expressed. th? sentiment of the 7th Episcopal Dist. That's why it was adopted with nt .a dissenting rote.
