ri-E-. F" I By Kev. K. Philip Ellis Bishop and Mrs. J. S. Flipper Souxh Carolina was indeed proud to see its great leader, Bishop Flipper, attending the truslee board?meeting- last week ond ~ also witnessed the commencement exercises of Allen University. He looked the very picture of health, and conducted the affairs with a master mind. Say what you will but the people of thi? state arc ?-?really pr-outl nf -their_great leadejc,_ They delight in following him and do so willingly, and with glad hearts. Bishop Flipper gets the greatest results with no censuring afld abusing me n. His district stands at the head of the column where South Carolina is today. Mrs. S. A. Flipper, his queenly wife, i.. truly a helpmate to her husband. The call meeiiiij? IUr UlP' w?jmen issued by Mrs. Flipper, wmi responded to from all sections in the state. The women are are loud in their praises of the -nrtctress on the~pHTT"oT the Bishop's wife, and of the business transacted in that special called meet" Allen's Commencement * . * * The above occasion wars' one of the best held the school foi years. President S. R. Higgins is being highly commended on all sides for the administration he is giving our school in Columbia. There?bbpttis to he perfect harmony between "the"^president and faculty. The same is true as to the student body. All presiding elders of the state made great reports. We were not able to attend the trustee board meeting but heard of the great session. Truly there is a nice day for the A. M. E. church in Soutk Carolina. We heard that the entire faculty of the school was reelected t?y one single motion. That was ? new thine under the sun. and spoke volums for the able president and his efficient staff of teachers. We did not hear the addresses of Drs. R. L. Lemon, L. D. Gamble, and Murph, son of Dr. J. W. Murph of Charleston, but we heart! that they were among the, /best delivered upon those occasions. Hon. Willard W. Allen The above named person who is grand maHWinbf the Freeiahd Ati-" cepted Masons of the Maryland jurisdiction, delivered one of the finont addrunooo to the gradunL ing class of Allen University we have ever heard. He represents an - insurance, mortgage Joans, and a real estate company in Baltimore. His address at Allen ought to have been broadcast to every college in America where candidates for diplomas were to be advised and instructed. In this writer's opinion. his speech was the solution, if heeded, to the Negro problem,- or I might say. the entire problem of America's people. I have known Mr; Atlen as a htgtr fraternal officer for many years, but unless you know him as an orator of the first magnnitude, you don't - know- him. H is address-has been tho talk of Columbia and- the state ever since. Dr. D. H. Stanton war one of the outstanding guests at Allen s commencement. He rep< resents the. American Bithe Society, and is one of the most able Y-hnvhrtprs in mil- inrift.) group. He -enjoys the -confidence" of both white and colored. The doctoj electrifies any gathering he stands before. When ever fie enters a~ meeting it iK announced by various applauses. Both Dr. Stanton and Hon. Allen subscribed to the Palmetto Leader. Mr^Joseph A. Robertson We are indebted to Mr. Robertson .for, -lis yearly Subscription to the Palmetto Leader. He is manager of the Crescent Cleaners Club, 191 Spring St., Charleston, which i<, among the best in the state, white not excluded. IL an inspiration to those of our racial group to see the kind of plant owned and controlled by the above character.
