But Senator Smith of South Carolina in a recent address to a gathering of young Democrates said that Cod made the Negro inferior in l.jm?-ivwmlnfc i . Th i ~Ti called white race. The Senator did not go so far as to say just whom and what was the occasion that the good Lord imparted to him sueh an important piece _of knowledge. Evidently, there seems to he a cross up somewhere. The assertion o f t lie able S< mator and the painstaking investigations and studies of scientists don't agree. Their conclusion is that there are inherently no inferior races. No ? 1? one,?rrf course, will say that the Negro as a -race is not inferior to the white race in most things, but that is Lvcouso of heredity, environment and training; but these ato-fsiiVceptible of changes. One needs harly he surprised however, at any pronouncement of the Senator insofar as the Negro is concerned. He has too nitich reverence for the past and shuts his eves to the marvelous ehanires that are taking place all around him?a characteristic one finds all too often in the 'aged. The Senator is so against the colored brother, that he does not even want him to pray for the welfare of his spiritual being. But still ho is supposed to he their Senator too, and we mean "supposed." 'DOUBLE LYNCHING IN FLORIDA. Four official lynching# were reported for the first G months of this year. Mississippi led with the 2 blow torch lynchings. Florida however, means to assert her { superiority in this American pas-| time by beginning the last half of the year with a double one. Last Tuesday in Tallahassee, the capital, 2 Negro youths?just 18 years old?were taken from the jail there and lynched. Perhaps it is more accurate to say th y were delivered up to a small mob by the police officers in charge ot the helpless prisoners. These boys were charged with stabbing a policeman. The man isn't dead, just stabbed. It is disgusting to read the account of the police oflicei in charge of the prisoners as to how the mob took these boys dut of the .jail'which was one in which County and City prisoners are" kept. Of course, the boys "confessed" before they were lynched. That's another lie. that ought be hanjroi}, it's woiJL.out. It la awful to think that so-called officers of the law will take prisoners, make them helpless to defend themselves*and then turn them over to the mob. In* some places, and under certain circumstances. it is down right dangerous to life ,u submit to arrest. The officers do! 6 amount to a hill of beans. Oh,.- >'es the Florida Senators will work and vote against the Federal Anti-lynehing bill now pending in the U. S. Senate. They like >thers who like their occasional lynchings will spout more rot about let the States prevent lynchings. If there is one bill that the present Congress ought enact into law, it is the Anti-lynching one. Had that bill been acted upon, there would not. have been this double lynching. That or those police officers would not have been in the plot to lynch and those boys would have been safe -in their care I Kampbellgrams < C " Stephen C. Campbell J The session of the Stat? S.S. and H.T.U. Convention, (Jen y??il. Assembly and School of Methuds are all now history. From Greenville, on the west front the Blue Ridge on the West, to tlu Atlantic on the East; from the S;i van.nah in the South to N.C. or the North, came delegates and religious leaders, saying: "When is* that, thing called the School oi M.ilwwl 1 |,?ivenous, wu nave stffii its UCJVor* tisement all over the State ant have come to learn the new pro i;ram and be charged with Lift and .Light- th.-i; \v<? cotui t home and lead our people." 68t enrolled in the courses and confer ; ences. 487 did not enroll. 50( .could not kiet in the chapel. 781 cars were parked Thursday. If busses were counted. . It was one grand round of busj activities and precise movements . Hundreds of young leaders mixet with older leaders and all tool , part in the program. Every where you turned it was a nev face trying to see what was goin* ^ on. Every class was packed. Ev ery conference was crowded. Th* .chapel could not hold the geneia assembly. Every day and nighl standing room was at a premium What were the high points'! Some said the methodical otfici force. Some said tho conferences i Others said the classes. Many said Che Worship Hour. Many said the music. To tell the truth, every \ point was a high point. 1 was too close to the picture to tell j which was the best. To me it was one grand dream filled to the brim with Inspiration, Incitation, Parti' cipatlon, Information, Exploration and Perspiration. Tt was t h u I finest gathering ever to gather in -U+rp state. It was a beautiful delegation. I St. Paul led the state in delegation and finance. I have been try | ing to beat Springfield, Greenville for seven years and this yeai St. Paul Anderson S. C., led the whole state with 14 -delegates and led in money by $11.00. Among the big issues were: Shall we stay at Morris or rotate from place to place? This was set tied 147 to 40 to stay at Morris another year. St. Paul is inviting the convention to Anderson in 10HQ Shall we change the time ? meeting until after all summer schools are over? No, by unani mous agreement. Shall Dynamo Campbell be allowed to make all the plans and. we take them without dissenting? The committee said No. The Convention said, give him a board and let them work out his ideas. This was agreeable to all and now "The Board of Missions will control and direct the Ftow of the Dynamo'jr-energy:" What of the School of, Methods? Shall it be continued? This was mswered 1000 to 0, YES. -~ju ' TBI What about registration fees? G. G. Daniels, "who has been converted says it was an error and a mistake not to have had fees this year?" I say, "Peter, when thou You can't have a School of Aleart converted heip your brethren, thods without a Registration fee.", Tlie Board which will direct Dy ^ namo is composed of the following J.M.

One can but admire the old oak that 1 stands out so prominently among the trees of the forest?knowing that it has been tried by the storm buffeted by the winds, whipped and beaten by the ruins, sleets and snowh, but thru *1t all it stand* it is admired. We expect that it Was some kind of a spreading oak that inspired the poet to write? "Woodman spare that tree Touch not a single bough >1 in youth it sheltered .me, .'And I'll protect it now."

'l Now we just don't know as to whose responsibility it is, but we , want to say that the condition of I the colored cemetery reflects cred I it on no one?in fact it has grown ,up in weeds, bushes and grass. 1 , mean it has really grown up. Now it seems that no one?re?rcrpr>TT>T' ble tor the present conditionv?iof the place. Though it is the only public burial place within the city i limits for colored, yet it is a No keep. The City, so we are told Man's Land?when it comes to upsells the graves?and furnishes a house for the man to live ia? that is to see after it. His sole duty is to dig and collect for dig ging?after that he is through ant' gone fishing. The cemetery for whites which is not >o far from the colored?both on the same Street?is kept clean and beautiful 3G5 days in the year. Just who takes care of the payroll -of the men that put in full time working there We don't know, but we hardly think that the pay is dug up out of the pockets of the living that have dear ones asleep be-| oeath the clods therein. But in i some way it is kept" as a city of the dead should be kept. Now, if there is no way for the City to ihelp in defraying the expense to clean the place. If the duty* o f cleaning up the hillside is absolutely the job of those who have loved ones and friends buried there?and as everybody knows' i . . # f PALMETTO LEADER . the average colored person cannot spare very much?ifany?just now toward hiring men to clean it up. It seems to us, that since the city iras?suc^a large and healthy set oiL_young i nlep Who seem to delight toiTo odd jobs for the city asking in return only u nice cool place to sleep and clothes to wear and food, that part of tlje bun^h, could be used in cleaning off the hill if not all. But regardless as to whose job It Is to clean offcommon respect for the dead ought arouse us to do something about it. As it stands today?it. is a disgrace and reflection upon .every J Negro that lives in the City.?and some elsewhere.. And our leading white friends I know don't feel satisfied over the situation. That is if they ever drive along Park Ave., from Main to North street and t/ehold. MEN AND THINGS By J. S. Benn, Jr. "Things As My Observations i tu, )? I IV 1 111 V 1 IIVIII.
