' .The Palmetto Annual Conference Branch Missionary Convention at its session held Wednesday August 3(Kh in West. Andrews church unanimously endorsed Rev, T. J. Miles, D. D., for the bishopric at Detroit in HMO, amidst ioaring applause; At the same time the women of that bodj said if the men who are aspiring to be delegates were not in harmony with this movement; sus? pend the rule and -elect women, representatives from this conference, and Dr. Miles' election will be a certainty. I know every minister can but be in full accord with the women of our conference and will work .day and night foi the election of our conference can didate. Our state's tradition has been up and down the country's turn. Bishop William D. ChappelK - from up the country. Then Bishop W. W. Beckett from down the country. I^ishop David H. Sims from the Piedmont, and now it's down the country's turn. Help us get Dr. Miles elected, and then gaJruck to the upper part of the state. This is not only fair but right, and right the day will win. The Palmetto Conference is earnest about the promotion of Dr. ' Miles, and we are willing t0 sup port arty delegation that) will do the conference biddings, instead of their own. Our electoral college passed similar resolutions, and watch for our annual conference. ' ' A Great Convention ? The Palmetto Conference Branch Convention was a great success. Dr. Miles' sermon was the talk ol the meeting. He really preached. Such mssages will stir an Episcopal district, and get members in our church.- Drs. J. L. Benbow , Land J. hi.

Quite a few loyal pastors witnessed the session. all their names will doubtless -.ipp.s.i ui. the official release. Among our Palmetto Leader readers were: Revs. R. I. Lemon, C. S. J.

White, Lark, WashIngtdn, our young giant and oth ers Whose names we can't recall. Early Campaigning There is a grave danger in solicitation. 1 believe every delegate in South Carolina will j support George .11. Hampton for the Book Concern in Detroit and get their friends t(/ do likewise, because of his fitness for that position. Mr. Hampton has the very best campaign materials, but is waiting until the proper time to put it before the church. Some of these General Conference aspirants that are losing so much time, talk and sweat now to j^et vcrtes, will not hear the "drum tap"-when the Annual Conference meets so far as being elected. The rfirst big thing with a Methodist preacher should he a good la charge," and tlieii ^GrrrcTaT Conference next. To he a General Conference delegate, and no place to preach is a man all dressed up and nowhere to go. When . the presidential post t/f Allert Univer sity was to be filled, aspirants canvassed the state too early, and was assured uf every -Vote. But on the 5th of July their case was so hopelesS that they did not even vote for themselves. Air castle speeches and getting votes al\ tw0 separate things. _ Men dtfn't have to make you feel had by telling you they are not going tc vote for you when they can show you by a secret ballot. Another Wreck On leaving the Missionary C<m vention last Wednesday, some thing undoubtedly got wrong with our machine. Despite the efforts of the driver to keep on the highway the car plungd into a field, | broke down a telephone peestand turned over on its side. Mr. W.M. Wright, the driver and Mrs. Ellis were ^painfulTy injured. Mr". Jo$& eph Reese, the other occupant and ' N myself were bruised and mangled. 1 was the lirst to get out ol the car through a broken window and pulled my wife half out. that time our wrecked car was surrounded by white people who a-sssisted me in freeing her from the wreckage. They got the other two-men, whom together with my wife were helpless. Those white people took their cars and hurrieu us to the (Jcoi'getown hospital wneie we were given lirst aiu treatment. I got in touch with .\lrs. Lawrence, Miss Melba. and their friends. The good pastor g..t Rro. Robert Myers, an officer of his chuieh and safe taxi driver of whom I secured to bring us t^ Charleston.
