Mo mail 01 agency with any ge
up and get auout linn enjoys Lieing
at tne loot ol anyvmng wotih
wiulo, and lie will no In? aarndcs
to improve his status. Fioni a.
educational standpoint -South La.
rolina is the bottom *sill ol in.
liaiiuu. In fo niter years 44U. stute
could thank the Lord lo.
' Louisana because that state pre;
vented ISouth Carolina Horn oc
c upying tnat position, but Louissana
relused to remain in tiiat p
sition; she moved up and Souti
Carolina down. . Her picture i.
finely drawn ' by State Senate/
Stiom Thurmond in his able ad
uress last summer bei'ore tin
\Women's Council lor tkc< Coin*,
mon Good. Says the Senator:
- "South Carolina has a urcate.
rentage of illit'ercuy- than an;
other state in the uliion: In lout
13.6 per ceqt of .bur white popu
lation and 53.6 per cent of ou.
Negro population .with an average :
of 35.'J per cent of the total pop
ulation was shown to be iiliteiut*~
In l'J3u, 5.1 per Vent, w hite- am.
26.y ?peiv* cofit?Negi uccj with" ai
average of 14.'J per cent* of tin
total population was shown to be I
illiterate. Although this is a rc-j
duction of 21 per cent in illiteracy
from 1000 to. 1.630, yet South C a
rolina as a statu rungs at the but |
torn of the other states of tin
union. Tlli; llfnl") Statistic-,?n;uv, |
that South Carolina ranked a
the -14th state (counting * L>i'stricvj
of Columbia) in white illiteracy I
with 5.1 per cenj compared" with.
the nation. ,_It showed that Souti
Carolina "ranked as the 4l'th stat
(Counting District of Columbia
in Negfo..illiteracy with pe.
cent, compared with lli.3 per cept.
for the nation.
For total illiterac^oT 1/oSi race,
this place us as. the 4bth state
(rqunting District of Columbia
with 14.b per cent, compared wit
4.3 per cent for the nation. Sha
the frightful surging billows ol
illiteracy sweep our innocent one?
into a sea of poverty, of crime ol
infamy? ??
It can be seen from the figure*
quoted that the great drag is 01
account of the greater neglect
insofar as the colored citizens an
concerned. If the improvement
in the illiteracy of the colored pec
pie had kept pace with the ini
provement of the whites, the per
centage would not be so low
'But the fault is not the colore
man's. He is making, good us<
of the meager advantages giver
by the whites; they have th<
whole thing in their hands. Giv<
Negroes' schools more money, not
by any means cutting down or
the whiteg and with an earnesi
effort the state will not continued
be at the bottom*

KIDNAPING AND LYNCHING J
The nation has good reasons to i
be shocked over the Kidnaping'
and murder of little Charles \fm.
tison of Tacoma, Wash. Ttic J
perpetrator or perpetrator^ are i
certainly devoid of every human
entiment. The offering of a reward
of ten thousand, dollars by
the Go-vemment for*" the arrest of
the Kidr\apers of the 10 year old
hoy is but an indication of just
how the nation feels about this
'J!!!
, ?; ;?; 7- ?
vastly crime. Thousands of law
officers headed by the Government's
tl-Mun are \>ending every
effort to apprehend the guilty party
or parties. -The G .Men even
(rot on the job as* . 0011 as the kidnaping
was ! vported iu-t waiting
for the pass in;* of the noccssa r\
number-of days under the federal
, aiiti-Kinduping law which (rives

There was no t kicking about that
j however; no question about violating
"states' rfghtts;" no. protest
that the State* oifrTVashing'.' 11" \yas

and it. should be left to it to run

in fact, then* should he none. Afer

Government ii' it cannot see to it
hat such erinies as that be aveng"d."

that states are. net. able to

~ THE PALMETTO LEAP
THE VOICE FROM
THE MOUNTAIN
By B. F. Stewart
\
With me rain continuing to lall
in tueoe mountains one is almost
persuaued t6 believe that we are
lacing the "rainy season" of Airicit.
But most anyone would raiher
see this raiii fall than t.n s<?e
the earth covered with a blanket
ol snow. The "Great Who 1 Am"
certainly shows that he controls
the atmosphere and the seasons
-for "strange as it seemfc" the
weather moderates every 5u nday
to allow ail church-goers to be ,in
service. Believe it or not but
the Baptists of Spartanburg county
certainly means to let the state
know that with the type of leader
they haye they mean to take the
uont line with other counties of
the state in Missionary and Educational
activities. Last Saturday
the moderator of the Spartanburg
association called the executive
board of the association together
to consider plans for holding a
j-utuirday dessioji__at the*?associa-lion
in April for the purpose of
making adequate preparation for
.he great state convention to be
held at Manning in May. The
f AT 1 _: - n_J.- 1
uiavcuum uupust cnurcn on
VV? Henry strOet was selected for
he place of meeting and April the
th is the day. At this meeting
hurch tvill . report doOr-way for
he state convention and jnoney
or the Morris College, rally.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT but
he oHiicers of the .Spartanburg
ssociation will take no back seat
uring the state convention. Prof.
'. A. Tqjdd the president of the
^hnday school and B.Y.P.U. conention
of this county held a
neeting with the executives of his
onvention immediately after the
-association board adjourned. This
onvention will be ready for the
-State S. S. and B.Y.P.U. convention
at. Sumter in July.
I wish just here to thank all
he brethren for the way in which
ligy are cooperating by sending
ninutes from their associations
eports are jcominfc in everyday
and if you have not sent yours
"ileaso send it at once.
As statiscian I am expecting.ev ry
one interested in the progress
f Negro Baptist of the state lo
day your part in helping me to
keep .accurate "tab" . on the denomination.
A board meeting has
'men called by the president on
January 20 at Zion in Columbia
and I am here asking all moderators
and board members who come
fo the meeting to bring your last
minted minute wjth you, if you
lave not mailed one to my office.
4T. ANDREWS A.M.E. CHURCH
Rev. G. 11. White, Raster
Andrews, S. C.?Sunday was an
deal day for church goers. So
pleasant until-fires were not need

tvorning 'worship,at the children's
hour, little Miss Rudolph Green
gave a recitation. The pastor's
message was a "Child's Prayer."
After which little Miss Mary Pianos

were well rendered. For
.dolt services Proverb 42:11 was j
.is.d; subject: . "Be ' Not Dismayed."
The visitors were Mesdames j
L. Pipkin and Charlotte Ashe of
Rahigh. N. C.
At 3r.'iO a very live-wire group
was. out at Sunday school. The
lesson was very interestingly reviewed
by Supt. Smith. At 4 o'clock
the pastor and some members
served I lev. Lewis at West
Andrews. Duriiv-r the League,
hour, President Joseph Thompson
presented Pi of. Smith who beautifully
taught" the League pledge to
the group. The other half of the
hour, the pastor used in organizing

Meadow Ifong Baptist Church
Rev. J. W. I)av^s, Pastor
In spite of the threatening
weather, the services at Meadow
Prong were well attended. This
being our first pastoral Sun. in
the new year, we ought to thank
God jot sparing' our lives through
1936 and to see thei new year; and
thank Him for bhe many good
things that he has bestored* upon
us.
Sunday school at the usual hour,
.the lesson was well discussed
throughout the various classes.
At 12:00 after the usual preliminaries,
our pastor brought to
us a soul stirring new year's sermon.
.He preached from II Cor.

A SUGGESTIVE APPEAL
Now since the Lancaster district
has been resurrected an<i deserveuiy
so? 1 want to appeal or
Mm appealing to ail xornur oinCcis
aim wuiaers ot the said district
to unite and bund the church
..v euuiuen.
A line placn fni- an iihle lnmiater.
It is a reproach on every
true Lhnstian member of the A.
M. E. connection lor a City line
camden to not have a churcn. The
building torn down on the promise
-of?Bishop John Hurst with a
view of rebuilding but died in the
mean time. Hence no church. My
appeal is this: Will every former
Lancaster district officer, pastor
and presiding elder pledge so much
undei; the leadership of Rev. J.
C. McClellan who is the piesent
one. 1 take the liberty to enumerate
as money as I can think of
i ow. I stay on the Newberry dis
trict now but Camden is -my nai
livity and like Nehemiah I'm interested.
Can I be blamed? I
work here and there ton W thc_.
Master and the cause. If these
officers love the district as I do
und are willing to build up the A.
M. E. in Cemden which will be
a credit to South Carolina by giving
$10.00, I Florine E. Moses
Hurst wfll put down the first;
asking Rev. J. C. McClellan with
.he pastor sent there, to call all
to meet at a place he selects and
discuss this in a business way.
Viz. Miss E. A.~ Brogdon as secretary
of S. S. C., etc.: F. E. Moses
Hurst, secretary of S. S. C-; S.!
S. district superintendent, .etc.,
Miss Viola Bosto?? Mr. J. Neal,
Mrs. A. L. BrooJFon Hildebrand,
Mrs. L. A. Wells, Mrs. .A. E. Harrison,
Mrs. Ruth Dinkins and Mrs.
Georgia ColcloUEh, (though she
.is a Baptist now as she left to
follow her husband which was]
light but will help I know.) Will
only name the elders as there are
too many pastors, still they
do their bit. Names v of elders
from the. "baby" as it was coll-1
ed I happened to know from the1
first: Revs. J. N. Burke, deceased
T- F. Player, J. ,L. Benbow, I. J.'
Ptuitt. L. A. Logan, E.-P. Ellis
and J. M. Harrison who really did
conservative work. My heart is
on a church being built in Camden
and God hc-lp me tt will. If
the elder will look forward. We
must have a house to worship in
my home city, Camden, S., C.
And it tflkes every A. M. to
do so. . ' T ,

YORK COUNTY'TEACHERS'
ASSOCIATION " s
The York County teachers' met
at the Jefferson High school, York
Saturday, December 9th.Eve*
though the weather was very un-v
tavorable and many roads in the
county almost. impassable the at- ?
tendance wag good.
As is the usual custom, the first
hour of the meeting was given J
over to discussion groups. The

groups were combined and led in
a discussion of the making of
schedules by Mrs. D. M. Zimmer- man,
Jefferson High school, York.
I ? f nnnrco Af f * *

was emphasized that every teacher
in making a schedule should ^
take in consideration the number
of classes and pupils to be taught-and
the needs of the pupils. Subjects
?r classes should be group- ,
ed, correlated or alternated to reduce
the number of ctesseg^taughT
each day so that they can better
fit tnto tho daily schedule. Concrete
schedules were presented _
and discussed. It is the hope that
these present in this group discussion
are now able to improve '
their schedule as an outgrowth of
this discussion.
The primary group was led by
Miss A. T. Smith, instructor of
Education at Friendship college,
Rock Hill. The causes and, remedies
of problem children was the
discussion. It was brought out
that the so called problem child '
was usually thetresult of physi-/
al defects, environmental or home
conditions and constant humiliation
on the part of parent and teacher.
A proper check Qn the child's
liet, medical examination and
tactful approach wore some of the
suggested Comedies. After such
an interesting and instructive discussion
all the teachers were given
renewed courage to solve some
of their cases of problem children. ^
After the very interesting and
helpful group discussions,, the
groups assembled together to take
,,r> ? i
uj' v.iie wuomcoa part ui me association.

period the business proper
