Last Tuesday's Primary
_ . One of the prominent candidate?for
office in the Democratic Pii
?merry?hebi?m -S<>uth- Garolmft la-t
week makes a serious indictment
aprainst, the same. Among other
things ho' said: "I regret very
much to ece our primary- d^bau'h^
ed as it was. I have been ,i 11
manySlate Campaigns. but have.
never 1 seen . as much money - u.-*'d
to debauch the white people of my
_? j?tate, and regret it very muc^
tnat so" many of them condescendud
to take it. Whiskey, Coco Cola
and all other, kinds of stuff were
used beside' cash money. Some
of which I personally saw. It's
very, very bad for our people, ar.d
if the, younger .generation doesn't.
rise up and step it, South Carolina
m(?n of money will be able to have
any chance in an election."
No one regrets the existing con
ditions of which that primary was
branded more than the self-reipecting
Negroes of this Statci
lied wc been allowed to participate
in that election, no doubt it
would have been construed that
the hungry and thirsty Negrort*
were shamefully bought out and
that's why the primary was so dethat
hath-wc been permitted, any
number of us would have votol
our convictions, the same as the
good white people, while others of
course would have followed those
whijte people? in the whiskey and
coca cola stream, and also accept
some change to jingle in their
pockets. Only the white people
of this state have the right o f
suffrage? in the various primaries.
They are the sole dictators of our
state's policies. They are to determine
the best measures to enhance
Its interest. To do thrs they
must be sober enough te select
the beet mmx. And eioce Negroes

For the paatL .fifty-nine yea: a it

Perhaps no other 'Northern
Missionary agency has' succeeded
in building up a irftjrtf^trrtcrr^ely
devoted following anions its cqI;orei
members. It has promoted
a uniformly educated ministry
and held them unswervingly to religious
ideals atid high moral stan
dards. It enjoys an enviable record
among other denominations in
this field of Christian endeavor..
For the past sixty years this
paper has had but two editors, the
Rev. Dr. D. J. Sanders, and the
Rev. Dr. H. L. McCrorey. It hap
pens that both of these distinguished
educators were natives of
Fairfield county, South Carolina,
and received their early educa^
tion in Fairfield Institute at
Winnsboro, South Carolina, under
Rt?v. Wijliard Richardson, a devoted
Presbyterian missionary. It
was In Fairftcltl Institute at the
teet oi uev. wuiiara Krcnarason
that I received my start and inspiration
for the upward path of
life., I narrowly missed being a
student of Biddle which is only
72 miles north of Winnsboro, and
was switched to Howard because
Rev. Richardson had made some
advantageous contacts with the
faculty of that Institution.
Dr. D. J. Sanders, completed his
education at Princeton university
and was the first colored president
of Biddle university. Indeed, this
was the first instance where th?

We are told that the Afrlco American

that the enduring foiindation_laid
by tbe~A7nc? American Presbyterian

zeal and enthusiasm for
education and religion.
The Africo American Presbyterian
unlike most of its Negro con
temporaries has adhered to its
original purpose and confided its
energies to religious and educational
topics. It has not gone a
field into the domain of politics
business and industrial enterprise

ever, the term Africo has a movel
Tegular, grammatical derivation. I
The reason given for discor.. I

is that tha Johnron C. Crui'.h uni-l
versity has withdrawn from the*
support of the. Presbyterian church |
and will henceforth operate on it-1
own independent basis. This has
teen the story of most of our colleges
and universities. Hamrpton.
Atlanta, Fisk, and Howard were
founded and^at first supported by
-cligious d< nominations, but a?oon
as the infant was able toa
shift for himself he cut loose from*
his religious parentage and proceeded
to operr.te on a purely secular
basis. This is not only true
of. Negro institutions, but of white
Institutions as well. Harvard.
Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and
Chicago have passed through the
same experience. This shift from
religious to purely secular support
has entailed change of religions
and mora! significance. It is wide
!y charged that our schools and col
leges have become Oedless ~7>T~"pagan.
They are for the most part
non-religious if not nn-religions.
