A MAMMOTH MISTAKE.?
i- Well may the writers of Neg
11 history rejoice, for this is veri
u. their heyday. Niti in recordb
n history has there been a tin
when the Negro rose to greater
grander heights of moral gran
1 elir, Negroes are helping to wri
one of the -most?dramatic cha
ters in the history of the worl
The Negro's fight is in reality t
3 "light of faith"; for whereas ti
'* white man is fighting for what 1
y lias enjoyed and What he now e
joys, the Negro is fighting f
^ what he hopes to .enjoy. Mo
then" is his credit! He is givii
the world its greatest lesson
si "per-pau iotism. He is. therefo
-raying the foundation for great
8 uiings in the post-war world.
i1.
The doors on which he h
). knockud in vain so ltmg must op
s, by and by and a thousand thin;
el are conspiring to this desired er
There fs the divinity that shap
e,- haman ends that wil not be d
n llied. The divinitv that laid t
iy foumiation of the Negro's phy:
eT during the^ j
ss age, is still at work in nature ai
t- 'society and canot be foiled by t
in designing forces of a hundr
hells. Those Negroes fighting
the armed forces of this nati
are showing this world somethi
it has not seen before namely, lc
' alty and patriotism ut their be
rid
This article is inspired by V
recent conversations with soldit
u. on leave. One spoke of his fi
s". superior officer for whom 1^
would gladly fight even ur
rc death. This officer made him fi
u- like a man and treated him
os such with all due respect to 1
r_ personality and manhood. Stran
il. iy enough he said this officer he
nt ed from Virginia, a Virginian
ge birth. The other soldier told
his fine superior officer who he
u. ed from New York state, being
ir_ native New Yorker. Here we he
y two brave Negro soldiers w
ir. white superior officers whose f
treatment had made them feel 1
e. giving'their all for their nation
These men are the kind to co
mand" Negro troops. These n"
he by their fine spirits have inspii
he their Negro subordinates with 1
so patriotism born of a high mora
te It is most deplorable that tin
e. stories are too often the extic
and. not the general rule. Too <
ee ten Negro soldiers are placed i
n_ der white officers who have no i
as speet for them and their abilit
;s and above all no respect for th?
s. personalities. Herein lies t
r. mammoth mistake of this a
h. ther wars and situations.
I know of no more deadly a
e. dangerous misfortune that cot
j. jefall a young Negro recruit th
,u to be assigned lo the command
7t~ white officers who are incurat
rejudiced against Negroes. T1
B. s no simple matter and shou
?? ot be so considered. It is one
h he gravest matters before the<:
ion and even the united natior
v This prejudiced attitude on t
t. part of certain white officials n
r. mly depresses the "morale of t
/ Negroes involved lyut it destro
,,l lie morals of conscientious whit
if whom the armed forces ha
ict a few. Too often men are
tgned to white officers who clai
o "know the Negro" and tf
ir cnowledge consists mainly in knc
is ng how to put the Negro in I
tr lace. A white man like a bla
? nan has a right to his nrehiHin
^ f authority over Negroes is
>o place for a white .man who is pri
r diced,
i
y SOT A MATTER OF SECTIOIS
ih
"> Be it understand that this is
ndictment against white office
n of any particular section. It is
f* ndictment against any white m
who asumes command over Neg
ia ?k for whom he has prejudice"
ln prejudiced nothern white man
, no better than a prejudiced soul
ern white man.. It is the prej
cr diced white man That we object
officering Negro troops. As '
pointed out at the begining one
( ' these fine officers huiled from t

THE PALMET
THE LINES
*
Negro is already confused in hav
mg to fight for objectives which
| many are contriving in advance to
deny him. Then add to this conflision
and consequent low mor^
ale the assignment to companies
t'ommandtid by prejudiced officers
e of the white race it is to make
confusion more confounded.
A man called upon to make a
supreme sacrifice for his country
^ should at least have an unpreju^

and misfortune,

the mortgage debt which was a
little less than JJy.OOO.OQ with all ^
ai
other church claims and obliga- ^

His strong Gospel messages, ^
which he delivers each Sabbath
reached the hearts of the people, ^
and caused them to have the ?

long before the hour of opening p

momentous occasion, which was ^
long hoped for. g
At 7:30 o'clock the choir march

ed in. Opening selection O God p
Our Help in Ages Past. Dr. E.A. ^
Parker, P. E. of the Orangeburg
District, was master of ceremonies.
In his opening remarks Dr.
Parker expressed his belief i n
Divine direction in the making of ^
certain appointments in our an- ?
nual conferences. From the very
fine work done at this charge by ^
the present pastor he believes it p
was God working through our be- ^
loved Bishop Flipper-when h e
sent .Dr. Janerette to our church
in Orangeburg. The music for the
occasion was carefully selected. ^
The choir was at its best. The j
solo A Crown For Me, rendered
F
by Miss McDuffie found its way ^
to the hearts of the audience.

While the presiding elder, pas- s
