Rev. EL Philip Ellis Y v, Piedmont Conference In Company with Dr. J. E. Thomas, presiding elder of the Mt. Plasant district in the Palmetto Conference we. attended the above Conference held at GreenviU lasi week. Dr. J. Witherspoon host pastor^ had things well in hand, and gave t^e Conference members and visitors- one1 of the best enter tainments we have ever had. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D.D., LL. D., captured the entire upper section of the state, bv h is l'rcat Ipp tures, sermon and fine manner of presiding. Both ministers and laymen were wonderfully impressed with his method in conducting conferences. Mrs. S. L. Flipger, his queenly hearts of the Missionary women. Dr. T. J. Miles swepf the confer ence in one of his great speeches appealing to the members, to make the administration a success. Dr Jt~E. Thomas also rendered valua ble assistance to the Bishop. .'

McKeneie Harrison State Evangelist and representative of the A. M. E. Book Concern well represented his_ department. Conference Leaders Dr,c J. C. Quarles head of the Greenville district", is truly* leading in his home conference. Dr. W. S.

Pr. V. M. Gary of the Abbeville district is the old reliable. He will never desert his Bishop. Other leading minister^ of the conference are: Rev. E. F. Johnson. M. G. Williams, J. S.. W. Harner. M.

But Bistror Flipper will not bo guilty of suet transactions. Whatever is reporter is all that will be paid at thai conference.

But in Bishof Flipper's straightforward dealing: the conferences in this state an going to raise more money thar ever before. Rev. C. G.
