It's really gorgeous! Fruits, vegetables, melons and poultry in big lots, the very kind that appeals to one's appetite. These products are brought here from hundreds of communities in South Carolina. We cannot understand, however, just why there are no Negro stalls on the Assem \ bly Street. Market. Negroes make many of the very things sold on the Assi-mblv Street Market. Why not give Negro farmers a half block of stalls on the market? CROSSING THE ATLANTIC L. .K. McMillan, Ph.D., head of the history department of Wilberforce university, has just completed another trip accrdss the Atiahtifi" and traversed several urcu nines iiown ir.e oiu r:storu| Mediterranean to Naples, Italy. Dr. McMillan, if we recall, is a southern gentleman, fully conver-' sant with conditions north and south in the United States. In Italy sro? things and comments. Hg then makes comparisons with what he sees there and what he saw "back home". The eminent professor finds that Unit>_ ed States teachers are hopeless when compared with people engag ed in similar work in the old country. We publish below his opinion: "I am finally convinced that the American teacher is the most hopeless lot among the American "Th?? poor creatures have taken so many methods courses and havf so specialized in pleasing the boss es that they know nothing about nothing. Vet they are the ones who have the ready cash and are the ones who travel. "An older female teacher was telling a sweet little newly-wed what to see in ?Paris: "The opera you must *ee by all means; now don't bother to see an opera as such,; the important thing is to see the opera house". Possibly the most hopeless case was that of a high school history teacher. I now know why we get such pq'oT students?in? college history! ROpKER T. STAMPS Pastmaster-fji' neral James A~~ Farley has approved a special U.S. postage stamp with th,. like ness of Booker T. Washington up on it. The new stamp, which will be one of a series commemorative of famous educators, will be a fine tribut,, to the great Tuskogee founder. It is ahm a fine gesture-of ^nnrt will from th,. Postmaster-General Jim Farley- knows how to make friends. To be sure we can butter nt parsnips with Bookeu T. Washing ton stamps. We'd mucth pujfcfei that Jtim--would give us our proportion of postal jobs and one or two beys in the big ofTicP where they could wjpr out the cofor line. That, too, is a good way to make friends, and we pass it along without cost to General Jim. He may want to run for the Presidency and we'd like to lecommend him to ttrcr votFrS"7Csr doTTTg some- " thing to make citizenship real to ten million Americans. . The Afro-American.

Philip Ellis THE OLD GRAY South Carolina's Time Should t^ir State fall short o Connectional recognition'* at th General Conference in Detroit Mich., next May we will be com polled to admit that something i i radically wrong with our entir , set-up in the old Palmetto State , And as 1 see it, we will be th , most discouraging group to?mm leave a General Conference. It' ui acknowledged met on tne par of both Ministerial Lay that wi .ire enjoying the most peaceful, ai ministration ever witnessed in A M! B. Circles. Accepting this as 1 fact, anl then cannot land anybod; at the* next General Conference will be just the opposite of wha -should terminate from a successfu administration. In fact it will b a puzzle to explain. No doub there will-be more than one aspi rant for the bishopric from ou State, which is their privilege, bu 10 tar as I have been able to ob serve Dr T. J. Miles heads t h i column. Now what influence cai ihis 100 per cent admiiilstratioi uVhig to bear in his favor? A he Bishops' Council in Philadel i>hia last month, some of the lead mg bishops and visitors of tha meeting said South Carolina ha the man to succeed Dr. U". E. Cuf ry, in tJuT person of Geo. H. Ham] ioht- -Manager and Publisher o ; Th? Paymetto Leader, with head quarters at Columbia. While wi arc preparing to discuss this mor fully in the church papers, sulfici u's to -say just, here that there i: none in the Connection that couli -make- that department a greate asset to the denomination than M Hampton. "What benefit can thi: harmonious district be to him This is one time when all eyes ari upon us, and expect great thing! oi us because ol the boastful- sat isl'action we claim to be existing among us.

Lemon say! he is announcing in time for 194<; Since we are having so much free dom now in our State and such t good time, I guess we will all run l^ut we must remember that onlj one will receive the prize. A Tragic End All who have read of the?9,ceidental deaths of Dr. I. D. Pinson his son and Mrs. C. A. Lawson, deeply deplore the sad and heartrending incident and wish thousands of times such had never happened. Prof. C. A. Lawson has ->h? >;ympathyc..o.f both white and colored. And as for the Pinson's family, language is too lame to express the grief of their many friends and acquaintances. We agree with the Editor of The Sana ritan Herald that we should hrone of grace, but put some of opr prayers into actions; in the most needy cases God will take care of them. And all of this shows how u hcortaitvli fe its,?trrrd how sure rs death.
