ST.'.'. V" v-rwr. "-priff -t"^' . rv: ' ; t^J 'The Old Gray" j|; Rev. E. Philip Ellis - \ \ i THE LATE W . E. McGEE ~ ' When The Palmetto Leader an- i nounces here how deeply it de- : plored, the passing of Mt. W. E. t McGee of Columbia, who was one s of the, high oiheials of the South- t . ... ern Railway- Sysu m, it expresses i the regret of efury Negro passen- \ ggr and supporter of the entire I system. The lute Mr. McGee car- ] ried out that Company's policy to \ the letter in his transactions with J those of our racial group. He was always courteous and respectful I hot only to the leaders of our peo- j pie but- to those ur humble walks j ITf" life. Whenever Negro Uelega films from chine lies and fraternal i orders were elected to represent I those bodies in great meetings he. ??? would?take?pleasure in meeting < them at any place they selected I and assist them in arranging their transportation to q.nd from their destinatwm?Many times he would ' spend more than air hour with v them iii their meetings, answering questions and giving them propel ? instruc-Uei^ The colored?fvei- keenly the loss of such an oilicial who was'so-considerate of us. But _the great Southern System made no mistake when it promoted Mr, J. Thomas Cobb of Columbia to the position of Passenger Agent; and advanced Mr. Clannic L. Toncy to the office of Ticket Agent. Both of these fine gentlemen wir assbcitd with Mr. McGeo for quite a numbaP of years1. Knowing them as i do, I can say .of a truth that the essence of politeness will eon 4inue-in thut^ollice at Columbia. Their scleetion.nieanrs..tiia.Ltfie__L"om I pany will still hold the confidence of all of its patrons. I am. still representing the Southern System 1 and advocating the same for Negroes ~to make choice' .in , taking their Christmas vacations this year This Cnmp.n ny , ?always given Negroes such accommodation as th<ty* Were able to purchase.?I , know of other systems where reservations cannot be had for N'e gro Bishops and otlr.i nice lenders. ~~ The Southern believes that railway accommodations are business transactions and have. nothing to do with, social-equality. Again the Southern?patronizes N"'rLr'',T , prises' in that it advertises in Negro papers. Consult the columns . of The Palmetto Leader and you will find its train schedules. It'- , no more than light for Negroes i ?-y to trSveT~oh a railroad that helps ; them. "" Dr. Thomas' Meeting.; It was my happy pleasure to j attend the Get-to-Gether meetirig of the Mt. Pleasant Di.-trict over 1 which I)r. J. E. Thomas presides. Tt. was among the beit that I have( . over attuned in my life. Dr. ,Tho- 1 mas thrilled the Council with a ' brief message that caught the en-' tire audit nee.- The meeting was said, to be one, of the best in the history of the district. Presiding - ?Elder Thomas belirves and does , not seek opportunities to take ad vantage of a pa star "and "his s&cri-~ . ficing" family. All of his pastors were pros'int except Kev. carter, who was sick in bed. When pnstors lose confidence in presiding elders they are slow to follow their leadership. In fact it's hard for { them to respect them. When a presiding elder comes to a pastor's charjge and inquires for disgruntled people, so as to strengthen them against the pastor and offer " his bost charges to ministers i n other districts six months^hefore-Conferonce, he is far down the ^ road from the Golden Rule. Do you call that -religion ? Dr. T. J. Miles swept the audi- j ence as a?cycfoneT^ The people , said that it was. rt'aRy the spCtTcTf of a Bishop. It was a master- , piece to say the least.. And shows ') that the Doctor is.jjoocL ..seasoned ^ timber. Enough said. 1 ' Transfers When Methodism dispenses with F the Transfer System, I want 'to s be in Heaven. It has been the life of the Methodist Church. In every State ill the Union, there ci are transferred ministers, from v other States. The same is true as p to Episcopal Districts. But when a a transfer comes in a brand new v district as a new brand man, he < should by all means make good wlien given first class charge, r lie should consider first that no V i' . '*1 ? _ X 1__ - yv . .v^rr j - i - ' ' >ne sent for him. And before he andertakes to dictate the policy >f that State or District, he should ell how come he is there. Again i man calling himself u big preach ar ami bell ows out- ift -leee?t-htm twelve months, he ought be " lo:ated or superannuated at least intil he can refill his wind-jammer^ Softie transfers have the audacity o get mad with Bishops and presiding elders because they refuse .o kill the native men of the state md- give them their places. Noj vonder they have been all over the Jonnectioh and on their way back. Let them keep on rolling and they vill finally land among the Holy Rollers, 1 * Take Notice i?
