Board, presiding tider of thy Mt. Pleasant and Charleston di'trieus.-nyc- spurn = ?last Thursday irt Atlanta {^..guests-of Bishop and Mrs. J...S. Flipper, D.D.. LI .1). Other members of our party were: Drs. J. C. James and 0. S. J Mellette. The bishop contraced a s'\cro cold on his return home from the council held here last February which came near developing into .pneumonia. The temperature in Charleston is mild the" year round. Leaving such a climate, when the bishop arrived at Spartanburg around 4 p. m. the weather was below zero, with snow and ice upon the house tope. There was no train accommodation there to Atlanta until the next day. Not being ac quainted-nvith-nrrt.*?onw-in Spaet-snburg the bishop employed a taxi and went to Greenville as there, was nothing else to do. But it was an additional exposure that would have affected any one. On our arrival we learned that the specialist had been porm'nnlly discharged aid the family physician leaving. He told u? as he was going that Bishop Flipper had successfully pulled- Over a dangerous point in his life and would be a healthy and strong man for many years to come. Speaking further he said that the bishop has now an entire new lease o? life' One party greatly rejoiced-on hearing this good news. . - p Our Reception When a bishop and his ? wifetreat the people of their districts like Bishop and Mrs. Flipper do1 the people of South Carolina, thev ne?d never be uneasy. For the people will do ^anything in the world they can to make them hap-. py. The bishop says his house is an African Mwthodist home, and i while the bishop ar.d his wife knowhow to entertain strangers though they be of any faith, the A. M. K. people of South Carolina both ministerial-and- lay are not only given a cordial welcome, to our pre!af'-', home hut royally enter tained. Mrs: S. L. Flipper his queenly* wife .'is'an. angel so to speak in her home. To conv iii contact with them is not simply to love them dearly hut to. give your fullest support to every program outlined by them for the ehm-eh and school in this state. Mrs. Flip per was loud in her praise of .the women who had carried out her suggestion to the fullest extort. Whose names appeared in The Palmetto Leader. That number Will be greatly increased in the future by the loyal missionary women of our proud state together with the men. Our party was nev v ciurruuneu wetter si nee w\. know ourselves than at the home *of Bishop and Mrs. J. S. Flipper last Aveck:?The~lives of "hi>tTf~aV<7~" in demand to aid in making - their woild saeett-r in which to live. Special Devotion Dr. Jo.s e E. Beard, who- i? indeed a thought provoker, conducted a religious service in the bishop's room at which time he offer~ ed a most fervent prayer. Not on--, ly the hi-hop expressed himself relative to tfiis thoughtful consideration of Dr. Board, hut every member of the party was spiritual benefitted. The suggestion to vis-' it the bishop was that of Dr. Thomas a hnm lc?wl ' , ~wa .4 <V?UVl, t&IIU tlllC* in whom a bishon atul everybody else _i can confide. Our trip to and from Atlanta was anion? the best we have ever undertake. . The party.had reaTpleasure among ourselves, j Drs. BeaYd and Thomas do not take j the big head from promotion. They do not feel themselves humiliated | ; In association with their pastors. The church needs scores of th*nr j kind. North Carolina Mutual - -While at Atlanta wo visited the | branch office of the above company j where Prof. Silas Abranis, for- j i merly of Newberry is general j manager, and where our son, E. j Philip Ellis, Jr. is employed. Just j I nhere I must confass that there is : no insurance company in America ! that excells the North Carolina j !, Mutual when it comes to class of t pperation Its strickly a contri- j diction to the statement that a jj big business concern purely run i !f- bv Negroes is a failure. My people the world over should see the 1 office and branch offices of this i mammotuh insurance company. It g" would not or.ly inspire the present (generation but would kindle hope 1 in the race's future-for generations 1 unborn. Prof. Silas Abrams,' f iitau ui me department in Atlanta whose parents we pastored at Newberry for five years, is an ideal specimen of our racial group, and Is one of the l>est products of South Carolina irrespective to race or color.

White, Charleston and Dr. G. C. Johnson, Elloree. t A business transaction between t*he writer and Dr. Johnson puts I' me in position t. s?,y that he is a v real Christian gentleman and no hypocrite.

It is our Jjope and rsqueet that every sub scriber will settle their back arrears in full during the mont^i of April, An inferior compex eomtnon to some members of our race is that they want their work done by Negro Printing company on credit which extends indefiently, and they want to read Negro papers two and three years for nothing. The Union The interdenominational colored ministers union of Charleston and vicinity reelected its entire stall for another term on motion of Dr. I. E. Thomas and Jesse E. Beard. They arc Revs: J.
