A learned member of the General Assembly has introduced a bill to require buses to have separate plac_o.s for white and colored passenrailroad jim -crow law was one ol the greatest piece of legislation ever enacted. Maybe so, but the real intelligent mind myst hnvo a difficult time in understanding just why the compelling of railroads to carry?two coaches when ? one would mn-<> than accpmnio-i dafte those traveling. The pfo- i posed jim crow law like all such always? tha?"separata?hiiL. equal'' phrase.?4-t's put in simply _ to square with the federal law. Of course ,it is not intended to mean -a thing and in practise, it does not mean a thing. The Negroes' i dollar is taken all right but Jbe, does 1?_t get as much as the other fellow for his dollar. Morals don't count in things like that. Were it r.ot for Negroes peanut politicians would be at a loss for ideas5-. A SOUTHERN BISIIOP OX TOE METHODISTS MERGER ? In May. the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church South, will liO hold. This will ho ?? a tK'Sf.ion of unusual importance in that the proposed merger- of the Methodist Episcopal church,- the Methodr-t Protestant church antT the Methodist Episcopal church, South, will be voted on. The twe first named Bodies have already voted favorably on the merger, and to effect it, only the last nam- , cd body has to ratify )t. The Southern brothers in Christ howthc-niselvos for a fight against tinproposal. The opposition is led by the distinguished retired Bislu/p Collins Denny of Richmond, Va. The discouraging thing about the -good Bishop's argument however Tjj~Tfs~strhilarity ho the sentirrKfits expressed by Hie Southern potior ticians?particularly . Senator Bilbo of Mississippi?in the U.

The fly in the ointment is the ?7?Negro:* Says- the grrorb-Risrhrrp- irr: his vigorousTopposition: "If "the" churches are united, Wer will Have to accept Negroes in our church. Social equality will be taught in ?our church?schools." Now isn't that the limit.

' m I |MOUNTAIN CiTYi; r> echoes ;; 1 I By "CAP JIM" v *i' ?We note with a pen of sadness the passing of one of our early school days friends, a day or so after we hit the campus at Claflin college for the first time, a young1 neaitny looking ieuow unloaded himself down at the station and came direct to the college grounds. There was that about his appearance that as soon as von gazed upon hinv, without explanation from anyone, you were convinced that he hailec; from the deep rural section. After examination, we found ourselves elassmates o|nd room-mates. . From then on. there was a growing -rrr?rrf?friendship?emd?the?years only-had a tendency to strengthen t. We finished one course at Claf "in, and were "ready to step when school closed. There are teachers that are the" avorite of some students so when . ertain of the old teachprs at Claf in accepted work at the "State" luite a few orf the students went \cross the line and started school ife over in a brand new field. Anong that bunch was the subject f this write up, along with myielf. Among the number "of the irst graduates was H. S. Henlerson, who later became through luigent study a medical doctor, locating' at Greenwood. S. C. with * a short time, he built up quite 1 practice. Not only at Green.vtfod but his fama spread and nany came from adjoining counies tp be treated , by hint. lt-is:o mystery that he succeeded for Tom the- beginning of -his-college -'ife, he saw himself a great doc.or, and he became one that both vhite and colored honomh? For quite a few - months?-hi.lealth was poor; he retired from ictive 8ervice, but was not able to regain that vitality that once >as his. So on March1 12 he went -o that country, where no return nessage is ever sent. Tuesday, it'ternoon the 10th, hundreds <-T ii-nd< gathered from all OVei ihe state, and assembled at Pisgah hurch where a touching funeral n'ogratyv?wa^?carried out. _ Thualks though short were from the heart-. He had.so lived, that i' ,vas not a hard job to speak at his funeral. We must mention he white doctor that so touchingly spoke of the friendly velaion that existed between him and Ke dead friend. We iyive ne.'Oi heard one of any race speak in hi eh glownig terms of the ability and high moral standing of one~ofinether race. We shall never foi ret^T. We "know the spirit of Dr. Henderson smiled in that fam.'iai way. as his lifeless form lay bank"d over and around-with beautiful dowers, while his white friend that, started off to practice the same year spoike. Rev. Sawder his ex-pastor but now of Anderson ielivered the fundYal sermon. This indeed was a gem. Short, inspiring but to the point. He spoke tW? "WVlflt. 1C Vnlll* Life".?of the most thm'irM-. ful sermons it has -been ours_ to hear. Ilis body was buried in was so splendidly performed. We pray, we trust, that as all could say of his earthly record "wvjl; dor.e", that as he stood before the Great I Ain, that after checking his record in the- k lory land he heard -the same from the One that never makes a mis-estimation. Thus the curtains fall; the play of life ends, for another of out old friends. ? ?+ :~3 MKMIIMMtlMtO i X Kampbellgrams ? \ Stephen C.

Y is ffittf" ^ no= How old the than is enters in- < lo the matter. What the situation is relative to his children, and, their ages have a bearing and pos sibly some* other ei|Ulwilont con* ditions. Considering these things, if the man has some years left to live, he might try it, again. Other wise, what's the use? Of course when the dove bug bites some guys they forget everything else but the woman. So far as eternity is , concerned, no marriage relation exists there. Marriage and its im plications are earthly and end on earth. ? - ... Are people sincere when- tney >ay: LLL1 forgiv.- von l>ut I won't forget?". , Answers There. IS a sense i n which forgetting something is prac tically impossible. The normal mind always functions. There is a higher sense in which ' renumbranc^. of. something' is made o f non-effect because of a kind of counter-irritant we-could call by 4 this name of forgiveness?forgive- * ness which is the result of kind- * ness and sympathy. Forgiveness < always changes a liability into an , asset. Do you think preachers shouH unoko, go to~the movies,7 bastdnrU ~ "ootball and the like? Answer: I fail to see any reason why moderate smoking would affect a preacher any more than any other human being. However I think it might he better done arivatciy, to avoid .the stumbling- block business.
