WILL SOUTH CAROLINA DK.M.Ot RATS RESENT THIS? v r Senator Smith showed his re 1 sentment of Negro participation it v iru* "iicmocratic .National conven twin. So great was his resentment ' that ho walked out on a Negro. > minister while praying. Of course f Mr. Farley and other leaders knew t what they were doing, even if i the senator and the' few who ap ' plauded his action did not. Bui passing over this, since the con vention quite a number of prom 1 inont and influential Negroes havi t announced their support of the re election of President RooseVelt 1 Many -are actively campaigning ' for him. One of the' latest em ' bracing the New. Deal is Bishoj f W. J. Walls, one of the most pow r erful figures of th? A. M. E. Z ' church. Heretofore a Republican he now announce himself a sup poi|er of the President.

Mr^-jfasr?A- Farley. He was delighted - ari(' showed* just what importance he ' placed upon it by issuing the fol lowiYig public statement: "I am \ 7^ very happy to receive the an nouncement by Bishop W. J. Wallsof the A. M. E. Ziup church col nection. that he has enlisted in out ^ velt. The.thing that impresses na efforts to re-elect President Roose 1 alK?ut Bishop Walls is his sineer- ity. * I particularly admire hi? ' way of studying the issues ami ' the candidates before deciding 1 -^'hom he would support. This is a what every serious minded person usually does. We consided the 1 announcement of Bishop Walls as ^ an indication of the growing sen- v timent throughout the country in v favor of our great President.''' 11 The statement of Bishop Walls I l giving "the reason for the present' ' "faith that is within" 'him is an c able analysis of the conditions t confronting the nation and the ac- t "Tomplishmenr President RuTTSPVelt" is coping with them. h W4IAT A CAMPAIGN? r a Perhaps the present campaign t for the presidency of the United i; States has no parallel in the his- d tory of the country. A most pe- v culiar quirk is the switching of t n ' nportant men from one party to he other, and colored men are umbered in the changes. Many eserting the Republican party for le Democratic party. That is lost unusual. From the standoint of white switching, the Reublicans scent to have the, edge, he Jatest and perhaps the most nportarjt change is that of forler Governor A1 Smith of New ork. Then comes George Peek >rmer aclviser to the President nd AAA administrator. A few utstanding Democratic newspaeis too have declared against he New Deal and will support lovernor Landon. The Democrats ealize that they have a fight on heir hands and are fighting as hey never had before. That they ealize what they are up against s shown by the fact that the Presdent is making more speeches nd traveling over the country to a greater extent than any pres dent in past years. WhQ wjll be he next president cannot be prelicted although less than 3D days emain before election. But whover is successful, the old U. 3. A. will still exist. [ Kampbellgrrams | I - $ Stephen C.

By "CAP JIM" | (Continued from last week) We now continue our say about our district Sunday school, etc convention.. Now just why our good friend and Bro., Rev. N. W. Green thoughtit necessary to come up and take up about an nour; of ringhty precious time in making a detailed report of his uoings as a delegate to tne General Conference of the M. E. church?and his mental attitude coward the (iiiieivnt legislation .presented and passed?tnen and now, which have become in most instances Law of the church is a puzzle. The Sunday school convention of Greenville district had out little to do with electing him as a delegate?in fact as a convention had nothing to do with it?some of the pastors may have voted for him at the last annual conference, but it always seemcu ?u> me ihat-it was in keeping With appreciation when a body elects a delegate to go some place as its representative that on . return ?the proper place to select lor making a report would be, before tne body iliat honored him ?>y sending mm .%nd in keeping with this idea thai i hold, 1 snail.at. next annual con-' Xer.en.ce petition the chair Jto aljow time to each delegate to come .or ward and report. If perchahee i fail to be there, I shall write, the ' request. Then 1 hope that the orethren will speak and condemn as Vigorously the work of the tieneral conference and those that uiu not think as he thought, spei.k as he spoke and act as he ace^d. As he did at our convention. 1 glory in anyone that .thinks auu acts independently, that's a man. l glory in.a man that has an honest conviction and contends lor it. Hut when a fellow reaches the point where to him all ..ti.at do not think, see and act as he does, become weasly, treacherous deceiving, un-christian,* betrayers of the great principle a? practice.. by the church, then I conclude re gardless - of, his good points, thai ..e is becoming affected with that dreadful disease known as the "Big Head". I think it was l'au. mat entreated the brethren thus. "Think not too hi>rh of one's sell". Now as to uniheation which seem? ;< > have' the honored divine "so r.ct up",. That is to he discussed m every unnlial conference of the .M. K. church in the connection? -o now we pass on ._to anotiiei phase of the work done at General conference that seems to set o disagreeable upon the stomach of the dear brother. That as he -aid the laymen of the church . roni now on will be recognizee, and have almost equal power in the church as the preachers wit!. _ but 2 exceptions, 1 think he said. Well suppose that the uhTiTcliTTiaV placed the laymen in such an ex..it..a m |jwiiuuii, ?iiai s wrong with i hat? Now you can snort a much as you please, but the folkthat planks down the "dough* fci.at it takes to support >a church from sexton on up to preacher" '-alary -are the laymen. Every 1!utValo nicl>le, dime and dollai comes straight on up anil out o. the laymen's pocketbook. Nou inlays any where you go and t< everything .you ,go from prayi 'meeting up just before the cur tains fall?its a collection?fron who? 1 am not kicking on givin; -1 realize that it takes money ti make the mare, the church or any thing else go- and realizing thi I practice what I preach. I won der what kind of eye glasses : 1 preacher can get hold off and weai to see tha -r s such a damnibljl thing for a cKureh discipline t< ' have in it rules that allow a lay nun to have a voice in the run rving of the organization of which he is a full fledged part and o! which he supports in full, with hi; time and cash. The divine very reluctantly admitted that fron I now on the laymen would have a - > trong?voice?u-?to?the appoint. ments of the preachers?Amen! Now for other laymen that attend | hut as' for the "captain'^ fronv! now on when he is at the conferI ence, no sorry 1x1% preacher will ever get a peep-in at our place of business?and most all laymen-appreciate ,good, clean, honest pas ' , tors. Now there is one cohsolinp thing about it: the 1A36 diseiplim | has the'good tidings in it and it win tie freezing day in the middl.j of August when it conies out Laymen .Vote now 50-50.

C.?For one housand years the Chinese inclosed themselves within the inclosire of their gigantic walls sur- . ounded China, shut off from the , Vorld. While they remained seured and undisturbed from the at acks of other nations during that >erioo, they made little or no process or development. They have 10 contact -with the out side vorld. They practiced the same >ld customs for centuries. Depite the fact that the battling am of the lights of Christianity ind civilization have battled down he Chinese walls and egtSCred 'hina, the Chinese are still;.fne of he most backward -nations dn the vorld today.

The National Baptist Conven:ion of America has adopted' his slogan: You can not teach vhat you do not know; you can lot lead where you do not go.
