what he does or how he does a

he would be elected presents no j

all hope is gone. No student of
state government is ignorant of
-the fact that because of the so!
called primary elections, the state*
is without the service of some of
its finest citizens. They just simply
refuse to go through what one
has to in these primaries to win
a place. We doubt if some of the
tine men now on the bench would
oe there to-day if they had to run,
a gauntlet.?Let it be. hoped
-t-htrt- the- legislature will kill that

ECHOES |

y........ M. . . V
Talking about wind, we had it
in all of its fu,,y ar>d power Sunday
morning. After the~gods~of
rain got through then the manager
of the- winds turned them
loose. Thees, house-tops, sheds,
wire poles and old outstanding
buildings fared badly. No one was
hurt, but many frightened. But
after all the day turned out to be
ellear and cold. Just such a day
as would make a real Christian
want to attend service.
^strange as it sems. That desire
To"get something for nothing lingers
ever within the breast of so
many ot our folks. That is why
a "Klim Flam" crook, always can
find an easy one to work on. I.ast
week the wife of one of our best
farmers, allowed herself to fall for
that?finding a pocket book with
bills of high denominations in it?
Then approqp-h the one spotted and
offer to divide. Providing a way
can be foilnd whereby the bills
may he changed up trick. The
thing looks so good and easy, until
nine times out of ten, if the
one approached has any money on
person of at home it will be shelL
ed out. Fir tbis case the wife got
in a car and rode back home (about
15 miles) and dug up the $25.00
she had saved up frorfi time to
time. Turned it' over to help
change one of those bills. The
$25.00 the crook and the tfbman
his pal, all disappeared and left
the farmer's wife standing, just
for a minute?waiting the return?
and standing and waiting was all.
Even the Law could find no trace.
Even monkeys have to climb up
the trees to get food. You can't
make it other than by following
the rule of honesty.
The county court has been in
session ^for th*w*j*

THE PALMETTO LEADER
have been handed out. Among the ,
many cases that were handled
were two murder cases. One
where the husband killed his wife.
The other a wife killed her hushard
labor -in the "Pen". The
man it is said was a hard regular
working fellow that spent his wage
in caring fod: his home, but unfortunately
for that home?like 'so
many other homes?a dog creeped
in. ^,The husband became suspipj
ious. One evening he went home
at an unsuspected hour, ran up
1011 a scene that caused him to
Slash his wile with a razor so
piously until she uied ;before
she reached the hospital. Let me
give a better remedy to that man
that discovers that he has married
ihe wrontr woman. When you are
sure that she' is unfaithful to her
marriage ivow, then and there
"call your dogs off". Don't fight*
oon't cut, don't shoot, don't kill.
Just say: "TheXord giveth, another
man taketh; blessed be the
| name of the Lord." Ease out into
the world, and be free. Brother
the Lord has been making wonioii
wt'i- ninn.i hn triprl hi<t hnpd
on Eve, and he has yet to make a
woman that "is worth serving 15
years in chaine for. That kind
of a woman "ain't been born." It
she sees more in another man than
in you her husband, let her have
him. "For whethed you let her of.
not, that's ^rhat she is going to
do. Now if you know she is
crooked and still want to hang around,
just drop your tail, sneak
off?keep your mouth shut, neither
tyark or bit?that's the rule of
a "cur" when his superior is in
the yard.
JThe woman got a "not-guilty"
"verdict: WoH?theyLgajLshe had a
husband that was amusfiU?Often .
they threw a rough house. Some
time she would chase him away.
Other times he would make her
do the "Habit act". Finally one
day, when no one \vas adounu i,
end came. She swore that they
were scuffling over the gun and
it just happened to go off. There
was no one to contradict hqr for
"dead men can't tell tales.So
the jury took her vesion of it.
people that ITve that kind of a
life usually end the life of one or
the other.

SOME VIEWS OF AN
ENDORSED" CANDIDATE
For an individual or a group of (
individuals to have the endorse- |
ment of an individual or. group of
individuals, when it has been given
by conscientious, sincere and
unprejudiced delegates, such an individual
has something for which
to be proud.
- The Tmdorsemcnt, sanction;- trade
mark or stamp of approval, upon
many a man or commodity has
meant the making of the man and
the bringing into the lime-light
the commodity. The South Carolina
delegatio nhas constituted for
more than a quarter of a centurv
a potential fetor in the General
conferences, ami with the present
setup under the direction of that
leader of men?Bishop Noah W.
Williams, the coming General Conference
will most certainly hhvo to
reckon with South Caroilna.
The objective in this connection
is to express appreciation for
stamp of approval that was given
a few aspirants for positions in
the General Church by the South
Carolina delegation which met on
the occasion of a rimary on the
17th of December last. Speaking
as I think it, I feel that each as
pirant is grateful to the entire
delegation for the consideration
given, and will resort to every
honorable and legitimate means to
be elected at the coming General
Conference. .'
Having been andonaed?by?the-Greenville,
Greenwood and Abbeville
districts respectively; then
the Piedmont conference and final- ''
ly the state primary, I feel confident
that I cannot go wrong de- 1
voting my future activity to that of
making outside contact and cor- 1
railing votes for election at the <
General Conference.
In order that you mjght know
I am not just now interested in ;
the general church, allow me to
say that, including (1916) nineteen
hundred and sixteen it has been <
my pleasure to attend each' sue- i
ceeding General Conference but '
with the exception of the one of (
(1J920) nineteen hundred and tweiv (

MAYESVILLE NEWS
Since the coming of the New
Year many things are happening
in and around Mayesyjlle. The
Pastor, Rev. S. W, Fordham of
Ebenezer A.M.E. Chlurch has been
quite sick with the "flu" but h
much improved at this writing.
Such distinguished persons as Dr.
E.'A. Adams and Dr. A. P. Spears
came and brought words of cheer.
If there are elevated to the office
they aspire, we feel assure that
the youth un!r the leadeiship of
Dr. Spears will take on new life
and give to the church a more com
plete program and Dr. Adams will
grace the bench of Bishops and
be a wonderful asset to the great
A. M. E. Church. . Others were
Dr., I. W. Jenerette, Rev. A. J.
Jenkins. They of course were as
sunny as their wonderful personalities
could be. The members of
KhpnP7PV alnnof wifV*
have .done everything to make the
pastor comfortable and happy.
They are an excellent people.
The Interdenominational Union
here, Rev. J. W. Curry, Rev. Granderson
James, the president of the
Union; Rev. McFadden, Bishop
Barno of the Holiness Chui'ch; Rev
Joe Johnson, these of the'Union
paid consoling calls.
Rev. Geo. Brown, Rev. W. M.
Oliver, Mt. Pleasant; brother and
sister Roland Cain; Mrs.- S7 S.
Pick and faculty of the Mayesville
Institute were callers and sympathizers.
The Mayesville Institute experienced
quite a misfortune in that
the grammar school building was
seriously^damaged by the windstorm
last Sunday. The building
was unroofed and much damage
done. This institution under Mrs.
S. S. Rice has taken on new life
and the prospeets are favorable. I
The Trustees of the local board,
Dr. A. R. Howard and Mr. Joe
Frierson came right over Sunday
night and with Bishop Burns seem
to have the situation in hand. 1
Prof. Brown of Brainerd Institute
along with three of the male
students-of? the school were visiting
in Mayesville Sunday and had
breakfast with Miss Brogdon, a
teacher of the adults in Mayesville
and she is doing splendid
work. With such persons as she
and Rev. Robt. Lowery of the Bap

has assisted the pastor in every
