KVKKKTT AT HARVARD Many South Carolineans?es. pecially the friends of Dr. ano Mr?. R. A. Everett who live on the 1300 block of Pine Street, Co bimbia?are delighted to learn of tu0 achievements of their son Henry C. Everett, who ig a star and a senior at Harvard University. Young Everett is. only eighteen. In aviation, photography hfi is recognized and may some day bo a potential factor ir?_ these activities with glorious achievements, parallelling Just and Einsteine in other sciences. The Pittsburgh Courier carried a headline story I last week which included the following about young Everett: "Harvard senior at eighteen,1 Henry C. Everett, son 0f Dr. ar.d mHiiimm Mrs. B. A. Everett of Columbia. S. C., is the quiet but energetic young student who's been winning scholarships sinco he went to Lincoln university three years ago.

E. 1'hiliD Ellia A ...T The Central conference held at Oivngeburg last week closed Bis nop J. S.l Flipper's six A. M. K -conferences in this state and al< of them went ovijr-the top. Dr. E. A. Parker who headed his delenation to the General conference seems- to Le the acknowledged .eaiier of the conference.?Be Bwo: thy of that honor. Dr. B. F iiil .ebrrnd head of the Wateree is not only a great presiding el. dor but a gifted gospel preacher *)i* Siimuei Nuni'P whn is_ in,chargt .if the Orangeburg Jisirict~asket i he voters to consider him as i delegate?tn the General confer enee. He said that he had not fully recovered from an ' automo bile wieck. But because of his popularity the delegates named nilii one of the alternates any now. Bisr.op Flipper stucked to nis impartial rule of fair play in all of his conferences ttys yet r as TTi rhTtKt??past:?Ministerial?<1Hpgr.tes to the General conference are Jtevs. E. A. Paikor, B. F. 11 ilubrand and J. I. Hamilton. Two presiding elders tnd one pastor. Itiis conference has quite a few great pastors. Some were transerred to the Piedmont and South Caiolina conferences. Walterboro will lind in Rev. J. I. Hamilton a great pastor and preacher. An Uerson will lind the same in Rev it. J. Gadsden and Aiken in Rev. B. C. Scott? Bishop Flipper is crtaiiily (.'losing a pticeful admin istration in this state. Aside torn the fine work Mrs. Flipper has alioady done in SoutR Carolina -he is putting the crowning piece ?n it in February lit Columbia. Delegates And Alternates .Ministerial delegates chosen by .he- conference are Revs. E. A Parker, B. F. Ilildebrahd" and M I. Hamilton. Alternates Revs. D J.j Gaasden, J! A? DeLaine and Samuel Nance. Lay delegates Messrs R. G. Oliver, L. B. Rivers and H. L. Pinckney. Alternitea, Messrs Henry Smoaks, \V. C. Jackson and Mrs. Coia Black. Dr. T, J. Miles won the nomination is standard bearer erf this state and say \vhat you will but nis elevation next year at Detroit is already conceeded. This writer who htds the publicity committee will give reason from now until next May - in all of the papers why he should be elected a bishop in the A. M. E. church. Bishop Flipper did the unheard of .hing when he went out of our state meeting and allowed us tc ?Other hishons presided over such meetings end Tend their influences t<? candidates they wanted elected. By so doing it *Crs possible for some to vote the will of the bishop instead of their wn. This would give one to bene vo that higher powers took ad. vantage of him and hence would feel disposed to contimm in r-Vio jco7 But when a bishop says 1 am gone, elect whf/ you will and 1 am not going to bother with any man you don't elect regardless of uir friendship, for one to continue in the race means that ho is doing with his own bishop agt tnst hirm his will be my/7th General conference jtnd I have my first 'imc to see a fiian ol??kg.dto the bishopric from a state iylrere Im" rwn bishop was agrdnst him. Of course some one may encourage, them to run but they are persons who have never been elected to any high position i|v the church and never will. Enough said. In my position I ani writing only of Dr. T. J. Miles for bishop; Dr. A. P. SpeiTs for the Young People's department; Mr. George H. Flamp* ton for the Book ConcerrioSnd the re-election of our state sons to their present posts. This wast tho doings of the state meeting.

At a second'9 notice that caretaker should have been able to have told where any office in that building was located. That insurance agent should have had at tongue's end everything about his company's premiums and the benefits paid policyholders.
