Philljy E11U I To. say'that hundreds of people both white and colored deeply de plore the passing of?Attorney _N. J. Frederick, Editor of The Palmetto Leader is an undisputed fact. White dailies all over the State spoke _of_ him in.the very - highest terms, and a pair of sadness still hovers over the many readers of The Leader, as well as our entire racial group. Just a week before his sad departure we "mreived encouraging news irum ??bra?ftiek?room that - brought hope and cheer to hits host of friends and few patronage. We expected that he would coon bo in his office at the public disposal of the scores of people, who sought legal counsel from this eminent law *? yer. We thought only a brief space would relapse before the patrons of the paper would be reading again his sane and sound editorials; But when' the" worst came, last wuek we were not simply shocked and' disappointed but grief stricken and sad._ We felt | the stroke almost as keenly as his immediate family. It appears that Editor Frederick, was never needed more in all of his career, for :acial advice than now. With us it looks like his death occurred .just at the'time when we needed farm moat. But God has always taken great" leaders out .of the world j2st~ at the time when it seems impossible' for the ..world to do without thme. In the death of Mr. N*. J. Frederick, South Carotorney, and the Negro race one of its bravest defenders. Mrs. Salter Is No More. Mrs.. P. S. Salter, 'widow of the late Bishop M. B. Salter, answered her final summons here last week at . a ripe old age. Funefral rites wt?re held for the deceased last Friday afternoon from Emanuel A11E church, Charleston, of which she was a member. The services were in charge of Dr. R. E. Brogdon, pastor, who delivered ?amast?rly retmon for the"occasion. Quite an appreciative audience was in attendance. Among the ministers werd Drs. C.S. Ledbetter, R. I. Lemon, S. R. Higgins, _ Revs. J.S.A. Grant, G. B. Mitchell and the writer Dr. R.S. Lawrence who assisted in all of the arrangements was associated with the fam iiy.

A little girl came in. She went directly ta the candy case. She looked and she looked. The longer she looked the les" she knew nhmit whhf ?Kp did want. Af tur about three minutes of looking she unaiiy .bought. a_ penny candy sucker. Said the clerk to me: "If I had my way, I'd take all that penny stuff out of jEQBie. These krda come in here and take up lots of time just to ay>end a penny." Of course that clerk's patience withj.the kittle impatient custo- I amir*-ia sorely tried, but it's good tor hint. He will never develop that necessary virtue until he ha? it tested often, and jtands the test: -?? ? - 1 often wonder at the great patience used by clerks in many large department stores. .Some iiard-do-suit, cranky, . impatient sister comes in. She has the clerk -to take down dress pattern after at ess pattern and several othjer \>ur Palmetto Leader subscribers io please be ready to settle in full at these meetings. Those subncrrbtngr-with the-Field Agent be I ufo and get receipt. The same is ..ue relative to the Circulation I Manager. Don't tell me that you aav.c paid him without producing a receipt from him. And when ht alio imnn vnit wither show i 111 .iiy receipt or pay him. He can recommend the discontinnance of the (>aper just as the Field Agent. A eain, ministeis of one Conference ?vho subscribe with thrS Field Agent at another Conference, their subscriptions are sent to tne onnli: TTOm the Conference at which they subscribed. Once a minister belonging to t he^Ce n t f aT~Conferen ce renewed his subscription with me it the Piedmont Conference held ix Abbeville. The same ministei *->n receiving a notice at the close A his Conference consulted the of ' ice for investigation. When informed-by the Publisher that he >vas a member of the Central Con.'erence, our report from that Conetence was presented to him,,and _nis name was not there. Had heboid the Manager that as a member of the Central Conference, he subscribed at?the- Piedmont Conference, hd would have found his .lame. We send in our r? port at .he close of each Annual Conference,.and aU,wbo_^uWi4be at-^thir next Annual Conference go in the report from that Ccnfeience.

Spend their money for the things of ne cessities. Improve their living conditions, and lay up .for days of sickness and old age. They should not withhold thei** support from God's, church for nothing is more detrimental to prosperity than a willful neglect of the church o f whrch Jesus Christ purchased with His own blood.
