K1NCSTREE CONVENTION
The Kingstlee (1155trier Sundays School
Convention is now history,
und it was indeed a record event
Dr. J. L. Benbow, P. E., had outlined
a program that would have
reflected credit upon any educational
meeting held in the A.M.E.
Church. Rev. II. E. Rollerson
preached a most excellent' opening
sermon, and the annual sermon by
Rev. Sampson Browjj was simply
fine.
While Mi s.Ruth Dihktns preside ed
at the instrument, Mrs. M. H.
Benbow directed the music which
was highly complimented by both,
members and visitors of the convention.
The faculty of which the writer
was chairman asked the presiding
elder t<./ tench the first subject
programmed, "The life ol Cnnst."
"The?five periods,"- Principal events
of each." This request was
made because we were in a cui
wreck, ami were not able to make
the assignment'to our associate instructors.
To say that Dr. Benbow
was great on this subject is pufc
ting it mildly.
The regrettable feature about
the entire convention was General
Conference aspirants wasting our
precious time with their good for
nothing pleas for Sunday school
TJoys and girls, to send them to
the General Conference; The presiding
elder's modest request of brevity
meant nothing to them. Ho
told them that delegates of the
convention could not help them go
to the General Conference but they
reared and pitched just the same.
Visitors of the first day were
Revs. R. I. Iaiiioii, J. C. James
? . *Sr~d-7- Msdtette?and?Wi ?T> -Murray
all of whom made good
speeches. Bishop J. S. Flipper's ad
dress on "Bible Study" was indeed
the leading feature of the whole
. convention. It was the talk of both
ministers and delegates including
visitors from everywhere.
Dr. T. J. Miles' minutes address
was loudly applauded. Drs. J. E
TET on: s and J. KT Beard spoke foil
three minutes each and thrilled the
entire convention. Drs. H. K. Brcrg
den A. F\ Spear's, Lee A. Logan
. and It. L. Pope made great speech
es. Rev. (i. II. White was named
r . x _
reporter lor the religious press
and the writer was made reporter
t\?r the secular press.
F'inanciaal?repnvts? were very
good. L
_ Rev. WiEie^jaillialns, pastor and
host, and his "good members . made
a name for themselves in entertaining
the convention.
Rolden and Daniels
Weie I a member of the trustee
board of .Mori is College 1 would
certainly cast my ballot for Dr. (I.
fl. Daniels of Georgetown tu head
v that school. He is a great pieachei
and speaker and 1 don't think any
man could heat him selling the
school to the public. This seems
to be the opinion of all the people
irrespective of denomination. The
great Baptist Church would make
no mistake in chousing Rev,' Daniels.
And the great Methodist body
has no better representative in its
entire family. Mr. Bolden of
Spai tanburg, one of the leading
managers of the North Carolina
Mutual Insurance Company. By all
means he ought to be one of the
. repjesentitives to that General
Conference of his denomination.
Every qualified voter shcruld not
wiite a ballot without placing his
name on it. This election would be
a credit to South Carolina.
Rev. Wolfe Basses
In the translation of Rev. Bro.
Wolfe, pastor of crur church at St.
Geoiger .the.-South . Carolina Con- .
ference has lost one of its best
preachers and pastors. Be was
one of the Palmetto Leader's bfest
supporters. Rev. Wolfe was a big
brother and a high class Christian
l/entleman The rl?-pi>n?o#l vunc o<1
mired greatly by all who knew
him,?Really,?be?w-aa? aiming tVirj .
best products of our state.
Funeral rite* for Rev. Wolfe
were held from Bethel Church, St.
George, his last pastorage, Thursday.
With TTivj Lv fc. Farmer, his
P. E.. as master of ceremonies,
Rev. I. W. Wilborne, D. D., former
presiding elder of the late pastor,
delivered a masterful funeral gyration.
Appropriate remarks were
mkdp- by Dr. J. E. Beard and
others.
Our dear friend*- Bro. Wolfe, is
not dead, but sleepeth.
Enemies For Life
A prediction when the A. M. E.
Conferences close this year, life
I
time enemies will be made among
the ministers of this state. This
may be true but it will be a serious
reflection upon our God called ,
profession. General Conference qv
fire seem to be the ministerial slogan.''
Well any number of them
will burn. There was a very fine
spirit among the defeated luy represuntattivest
I will admit that"
the laymen were better prepared
to be disappointed for three have
been their number for mine than
half a century. Just a few years
ago their representation has been
increased. In South Carolina pres-dingship
once meant a delegate
to the General Confemee. Hut
this will be impossible this time
fui some conferences have four pre
iding e'ciers and ~nly three del
egates can be elected. "Tn the Northorn
a^d Gas tern conferences pre
siding tides are the last to be eleeteil,
but in this state they head
ihe ticket. Time honored custom|
in South Carolina gives the presiding
elders a'i advantage over all
of the pastors, and they can make
use of it. I think it is unreasonable
on the part of -piesTdirig elders to
think the . pastors should not aspire.
They raise every cent of the
money to run the General Conference,
the annual conference, district
and quarterly conferences.
They raise every dime paid the pro
siding elder as well as their own
support, with the lay members
Now the pastors have no objection
of presiding eiders seeking to bo
elected, and they should not get
angry because the 'pastors aspire.'
There is ong thipg certain, and it
is that the woods are full of aspirants.
The Palmetto Conference
has some in every district includ
ing the presiding elders. We know
all of us are not going to be elected
and as pastors we are prepared
to take our medicine. Now any thin
Ister that wants to see "pluto" be
cause ne inns to be elected mats
his business. Hut I am quite sure
~wherr "he strte 11s -tht?flames - of -torment,'
he will forget Geneal Con
ference and run to escape a hide
baking in that firey furnace.
VAn Enemy Hath Done This."
An evil sentiment that's being
circulated in the Palmetto Conference,
is that Ellis, is being
bi ought into the race for General
Confcfeiice to defeat his Presiding
Elder. TTiaTs teal's sown by
a wicked preacher who will nevei
vote for me, and "I doubt his voting
for my Elder. It's awful to
think how wicked some preachers
are. They will have to be born
again or Goif will have to bend
llis laws to get them in heaven.
Rev. K. irT"Hutk'r, of my district
has conducted a vigorous cum.
!>:.ign in all of our leading weeklies.

day School Convention making
campaign speeches. I contacted
the men on the yard. Sori>e gave
for their reasons to be elected
the churches they built and debts
they paid That was no more than
theii duty. And if the General
Conference is to be the reward,
they must not expect any from
God. In case that church building
and debt paying are the qualifications,
"The Old Gray" should
be made a life delegate. Fi/r he.
has built nine churches of which
some were brick, and paid debts
left by his predecessors .at every
charge he served. At our present
puslmutc St. Luke, which is one
of the best charges in the Connection,
we secured a parsonage
at a cost of $5,000.00. Now two
thousand dollars worth of needy
repairs must be done to the church
of which five hundred dollars
worth is now. in progress. This
liould have been done years before
I whs assigned the charge.
These things make it impossible
for us to nrfake such connectional
reports?as former pastors made
by bort owing money of which

Time To Shout _
Cotton is t^ie prince of fabrics.
It has been so since Heredotus, '
that busy traveler, discovered it
during the fifth century befbro
Christ and wrote that India had
"a kind of plant which produces
wool of finer, better quality than
that of shesp". ?In
basic quality, cotton has no
peer, it is nature's whitest and
most beautiful fiber. It has superior
stiength, especially when
has outstanding susceptibility to
put to' the test of wetting. It
dyes and resistance to stains. In
the versatility of its uses it has
not even a distant rival. It can
be shaped more easily, wcrrn harder,
and laundered more safely than
other materials commonly rated
its superior.
Why then is cotton the scandalized
and sniffed-at underdog of
textiles ? '

high-powered sales and advertis.
ing campaigns by its rivals. The
sryle-makers, the manufacturers,
the distributors have been clever. ly
indued to give other fabrice the
advantage. Millions have been
poured into advertising which
shouts that other products are su
perior and cotton, by implication,
inferior.
Cotton also needs a champion
with a loud voice and some merchandising
finesse. The National
Cotton Council is taking up that
challenge. May its cause pros,
per and its tribe increase.
