The presiding elders and Dastors saw to it j 1 r that the confurence did not only! redeem itself from last year's shortage' but went far ahead in! its Dollar Money, as well as other, financial reports. I know, tho lay-? men have every reason to rejoice ? - over the great-success. For it .was! largely duct to their fine coopera-J tion. Bishop Flipper was hifehly pleased with the presiding elders and pastors. And as an evidence of that fact all of the presiding eiders w?re re-appointed and the pastors were either returned or ? promoted. The Conference was sad denod with the critical rllness of Dr. J. C. McClellan that prevented his presence.?Re was?suddenly stricken with paralysis. , The Sessions J It jg indeed a pleasure to at-' tend a conference over which Bish op Flipper presides. You atfe~n6t in session all day and hot a single word of abuse falls from his lips. Crowds of people attend the, daily sessions because of the peace and harmony that prevail in them. Bishop Flipper asked the preachers to trtlat the laymen as he treats them ar^d they?will follow their leadeiship gladly. The request rs reasonable and minis-1 ters can certainly comply with it.' Lewis Promoted I am sure .the appointment ofi Dr. S. H. Lewis as presiding- elder is no mistake. Both ministers and laymembors of the Spartanburg district will be proud of himj He is a wonderful preacher-"and the district will ^find-in him-a?hig^ brother and friend.? Sermons and Addresses Rev. W. M. Thompson preached | the annual sermon and he really; preached. Rev. W. B. Nash was' mon; President ?E. H.?McGill's, speeches are placing him in a class to himself. Bishop Flipper's' viumni-run sermon uia not only move the conference but tho en-; tire city.?Dr. T. J. Miles ."hit the) mark every time he spokef. He certainly defends?frfs?State?and that'?, what we need in such a time as this in both local and conl: noctional circles. Dr. E. F. G.j Dent is indeed, a fine man and the Columbia district has as its head' a leader that any district would be gtad?to?follow.?Dr:?E.? 'At1 Adams head of the Newberry district is rated among the best ft--' nanciers in the A.M;E. Church. Dr. W. J.

Custom has decV ced that the principal space devoted by the general pews, sections of daily newspapers to the doing3 of Negroes shall be given over to reports of either crime or qcrmedy^ That is why so many people regard most Negroes either as crim imally inclined or as simply funny. This belief springs from the served them. In order, therefore, . to-'learn what constructive developments are gcrisg on among h:* own people?in order to get a viewpoint of national and world e 'etits as they may affect his own particular and proscribed environment, the Negro reads first the dailies for^theit g*f:ieral infiormatiorl, and. then these special publications ir.g the economic, social, reliliogs j sporting and politieal affairs of j the wolrd as thev occur in relation I to this somewhat separate existence which he is forced to live.

"The- Weekly peal", "The Ram's Horn" and other early publications which ap peared at intervals during the 20 years, bore littl'e resemblance to the newspapers of today. They were almost solely organs of propaganda and pro'test. Published in the north, they fought against the institution of slavery ^yvhicj^ then had shackled most of the million black people living in the south. One of the most widely read papers of those early days was "The North Star", later called "Frederick Douglas' Paper."" Douglas,, was the black American who though, born a slave played so \ great a part with his oratory and against slavery?and who rose to -statesman and a?pubhe- officials,-representing this very* country where he had been held in botidage. Booker T. Washington rec- ognized the value of the Negro i nress and at one time owned a considerable interest in an important newspaper published in New York. Today our?papers are more nearly carriers of news. They still voice the protests of the group and lead the van in fighting for civil rights, but they serve to pairt a complete picture of racial progress as well. life, cf which Negroes must be made aware and which would be lost sight of were it riot for the Nfegro newspapers?
