Frequently the statement that tHej'6 are .too many Negroes en-1 < i __ _ J j gagtd in the various professional occupation is heard. Such a stateTiient however has ignorance as its basis. A recent analysis of the volume "Negroes in the United States- 1.920-11)32" issued by the I'. S. Bureau of the Census shows that there~are not even a sufficient supply of Negroes in the more important professions. According to the li?:t0 census, .there were only 104,755 colored men and women in the whole country engaged in the even nrincinul nrnfussimia Preaching, Teaching, Dentistry, Law, Music* Medicine and Trained Nursing. When it is remembered .hat the colored population of the oun.tiy is 12 millions, 105 thousands professional men and women seem woefully inadequate. The Ministry has a smaller average per minister than an(y. of llu- other professions, and yet that he average is higher than that of he whites .for the whole country. In the Southern states where dwell he majority of the colored population .the average in all profes sions is extremely high. Taking jQut'h Carolina as an.example, the t vera go per; minister is G20; Teaching-. iiKTuilmg presidents and professors, of enllyges, 1718; consid ting touchers lor scnoois oniy i the average-is olil^i 213; Dentists aveiage I 1,61 >8; Lawyers 61.052; Alusieia'.10^72: Physicians and ->mgoo.n.- 1.1, sit', an d"Trained Xurs2756.

T-he Junior church was organized with leaders Jast SiindaVMore than 26 clubs were set in motion to raise funds and train the children in church leadership and the meaning of church membership. Brown Williams led .the budget committee in reports for the month of March. St. Paul must have a ? large membership when she more than balanced her budget for the month and 276 members did not gi've a penrty. Rev. E. P. Ellis is an able writer. I like his articles. He has persuaded me to go to the General Conference ^nd see Bishop Williams be returned. Bishop Williams has done a .great work, for the A. M. E. Church.

Like 'he "yeast" in Sunday's, schoolr lesson?slowly but surely the spirit of brotherly kindness and care isj shown here and {there. The change from ill will to mutual | help is coming about; not in a whole sale wa(y, but in a way that those of us who through the years have kept tab, can faintly discern. We note with pleasure that the City of Greenville has announced that two; or-, three mode?, n rest rooms are to be built in the near future* One or two for the" white adies, one for the colured ladies. The locations , selected are all right?both in desirable spots. The whole thing shows a mighty fine type of religion. J_ Well now don't think we throw roses too?often?to?Laurel-Creek section. But to be frank we have in that community a different .type of rural colored citizens. They put the program over, whatever that program be. That's one reaon we are proud of it, then that is our home community and you know the old saying that "it is a mighty poor frog that does no* boost his own pond. If there is but an inch of water in it, he will sit on the bank at night, especially a warm spring one. and declare in no uncertain terms, "knee*loon knpp.ilppn" _ Rut wo will nl ways try to stay in the neighborhood of tru,th. The public school put on a popularity contest which wound up Tuesday evening. March 24. Four mothers were the contestants. Here are the results as reported in cash:-Mrs. Sallie Lend, hart $31.00; Mrs." Lizzie Mean-; 17.00; Mrs. Georgia Raiford $13. 'tis. Martha Curoton $10.00.?Ho Vou blame me for boosting such a bunch? We were proud to read the glow o-g acount of the State Teachers' Association and to learn that , it was a success from every angle. But there is one thing that, is a; puzzle to us. We understood tha' all teachers of the state were expected to pay the fee. If our menf ory serves us right we think \vo heard the president of our county association, state that each t0acH: er was compelled to pay, and they did. Now is it fair or just to compel each teacher to pay the fee for the session and then here and there a bull headed principa1 decides that he is not going and his force of teachers cannot go for the reason he was not closing school. Regardless to the wishes and desire of the teachers, like a king "I say no, and .that's it", 'f there is a power in the state's ^school System that can request each teacher .to pay and that re quest -.can dc eniorceu, men 1 seems to us that ho one ought to be in position to block the going of - any teacher if she or he desires. The big aims of the association can only be reached by a 10(K? cooperation. There ought be a power some where to advise "not to kick against the pricks". We congratulate our old friend and classmate in being honored by the association by being electedi as its head for the next two years. A splendid choice. Short in just one instance "stature". Success to you "old bdy". We note from the daily paper that the Union Republican Pae^ 'v held its state convention Thursday the 26th at Columbia. The olatform adopted must, have beer a dajsy* if we are to judge by a few of- the planks that were publicVin/l ! Mnur urn fin/1 if V\ar/1 t/? disagree with the platform. The delegates to Cleveland being 5050 whi'e and colored and a pretty fair bunch we also pass up.

Constituents and Well-Wishers The quaint old statement "A man must have a will before hi can/do deeds" and "An army before >\o can win battles," is just asUrue today at the day when * .... .. 4 THE PALMETTO LEADE spoken. One may l?elieve to the superlative decree in tho Tifce-long suple.rstitious fad that "Luck and Kate," will work wonders for him, ai\i-that it is not necessary to put any extraordinary efforts to tfiiin a noteworthy achievement, hut in this aire one could never be more mistaken. Even the Lord helps those xv-u' help themselves, to sav nothimr of men.

HEARD ON THE HISH*'|?UIC 7?1 There has been a great deal said touching the flection of Bishops, in the A. M. E. Church. A'lfi:l I fear that the greed for office and the results of that greed are. ainong our lamentable sins, to the serious detriment of our othorwiso great Church. One sometimes wonders why certain nHn are so -anxious fur office. Vou can alwaysafford to watch the man who will do unbecoming acts, and even give -bribes?11 difft1'ent"km<la-to-gct am1 office.' I- there a single man in the tk,legation to the General .Con-' k reuce from South Carolina, oi any when i*:se, who does not km v that anv on" -vkno buvs liis wav i i to office will pot his money bark at the proa: ek'pcnse of the church. The Bible does not say. "tto that desinth the office of Bosho.n desireth a pood 'thing," but "desiroth a poo?l work." And there is a world of difference between the things a man wants and the wolk he wishes to do. Refrrenci has time and again been made to .what I said touching "campaigns"', for the bishoprje. And I desire, here and now to reiterate that it is absolutely and peremptorily contrary to all Bible teaching and practice, and contradictory to Christian ethics an'd dignity, and an innovation in Methodism that is seriously damaging asone can sec, to the chagrin of our proud church. Yes, I said that I had not put myself into the raeo for the bishopric. I) es that make a man irregular or less worthy? Shall i a man bo elected a bishop just he i-ou.tc in- iui us iu i-iiTi mm : 1 If a man in the great M. JC. Church Were to have, a campaign to be bishop, he would never be ehcted. According to our practice, were Chri-t on earth fo-day, he could never become a bishop in the. A. M. K. Church. Shall mod- i esty and dignity become lost arts: in our Church? Now, let me state for the in'ojv j nation of those who wish to know he truth, that Jesse E. Beard has been urged by more than one trfficial hoard; and by more than one quarterly conference, by more than one district meeting, and was unanimously endowed by the Electoral College oF the South Car-^ olina conference, 11)35 and was upanirhously endorsed by the South Carolina four years ago. And Beard was not in the session of the-eoivfeeence when'- this well known (Iced took place. I might add, too/that Beard did not beg for these endorsements, either, t Friends, too, out of the state push 1 Rev. Beard. Finally, Mr. Editor, i may I state that an^ episcopal ' district may have the right to give any man u majority endorsement I R , for any office^'tul~nF^isfrIct hrfs the right to muzzle any good and worthy man, or put him out cf the reach of the men of the Church in which he has labored. Any man or group of men may open the door of hope, but no one has the right to close that dborT One ~ does not have to hate all other men because he favors one. Respectfully yours, Jesse K.
