jPlf PAGE TWO ?7' ~THE OLD GRAY" By E. Philip EHis WATCHMAN! WHAT OF THE NIGHT? The world is indeed passing __ through a., dark period,. ItV one. - of the darkest in the world's history. As to the coming of peace in^'the world today no one will attempt or dare to tell. As I see it generations will be dead and gone before this world ever ^witnesses an era of peace. What is most discouraeinar. our armies on the?battlefield are wicked?t o the nth degree. The soldiers of America believe in everything seemingly ^but righteousness and words the soldiers of our country are as wicked as those of heathen nations. And to our regret any number of our high officials are ncu better. It is to our everlasting cffedll tfifll mSlflfeht Fh&fikMh D. Roosevelt is a man of prayer: And If we had a praying cabinet, senators and legislators together with generals, we would be geting somewhere. This wai as I see it calls for consecrated fighters as in Bible times. The pan, and other countries could be put to flight if American war lords would exercise some consecration. For instance take Gideon, Hezekiah, Barak, Sampson, and other Biblical characters who won mighty battles with a remnant so far as numbers were concerned. But the American spldiers today, think they must be racial group. This is true with any number of them. On the streets thejr a disgrace. - Their chief "objective seem to be whiskey and women. 'Tis true many church men of the best kinds are ? w a f A1 c flranea. Many 01 inem are irum the best of families. Some are officials in the church, members of the choirs and ushers boards. What effect they will have o n . * these rough soldiers, God only knows. And so far as church going it*s a thing' of the past with thems Ten thousand Soldiers were in "my-"city for nearly 6 months and at no one time was there one^ hundred- fotfnd .in all of churches a single Sunday. God would de, feat .our enemies if "He had men 61 prayer to. use as instruments. But.we are passing off the stage.. Arid ^e -'serve notiee that'an aw ful day is .in front of America, As it Is our world is very unhappy at this present age. My ad' vice is that we should go to * church and pray daily for Divine guidance in this dark world ? .today.- ' 1 ? THE CENTRA!.' . CONFERENCE Bishop J. S. Fliper, A.M., D.D., . will complete his series of Annual Conferences at Manning this week. And they have been the best in the history of the State. The Bishop is lauded by both minis-1 ters and lay-members of ail denbminations. In writing of South Carolina, one must say that his _.adm in jstration leads any t h e State has ever witnessed. Everybody wants his return for another four years. . Together with his queenly wife. In our write-up of this administration I shall not fail to tell these things to the . , General Church and to the world In Manning Friday of this week all the elected delegates to the General Conference are called to meet. At this meeting a standard bearer will be chosen that is orte of whom the State will support for the bishopric. A State Chairman will be selected, the Episcopal Committee and all other committees for the General Conference. I have been State Reporter for twenty-five years. But I shall not accept the position this time under no consideration, I shall, v :a. :n u _ x wnve nowever, uui iv win w whom I please and what I please. As it appears now South Carolina will have to do some mighty <etting together to be successful at this General Conference. At wrote night and Jay for our starC dard bearer as can be attested by Dr. George A. Singleton, who ed-1 ited the General Conference daily [ was as true to him as steel. I trust the selected reporter at ' Manning this week will be equally as true. But time will tell, and the people will se what we bring back from the- General Confer-' ence. OUR SUBSCRIBERS I shal hope our many subscribers who owe the Company for two years or more Will pay us in Manning. Dr. D. N. Wilson represented us at the Piedmont Con ference because we were sick. While we thank those who subscribed to Dr. Wilson, there was only a Hhird who paid anything and only a few of them paid in full. The policy of The Palmetto Leader is to be considerate with its readers. But one of the Strang est things to me is that colored people will pay promptly for a *>f published by white people, i? ^v. out th^y get behind with a Jls*. seriw|?r3fP,,I>er? they feel that they \ for **nTtlr?er catch UP- This i ? \went-i?i for- ne?Ln^ the ProKres? of \one long+h se*1 enterprises.

I r\ m ! a nn rays lrioute to Mr. Thomas R. Logan Recently, dear reader, it could -truly be said "that a great-man has fallen in Israel". It is hardly necessary to mention his name, for you to know about whom I .vrite. I refer, of course, to the late Mr. Thomas R. Logan. It goes without saying that Mr. Logan was among the leading specialists in his chosen field which is commonly referred to as Brick Masonry. His reputation, as a brick mason was not limited to his native state of South Carottmr^but" had spread farther: Mr. Logan's unselfish service will stand out as a monurpent to nis noble efforts as a great friend o all mankind, and will be long emembered by the present and josterity. Mr. Logan was unsparingly o f nis valuable time in carrying on .he arduous duties as instructor of Brick Masonry at the Drayton street high school for several years. Mr. Logan was a man of rare Christian character. His rec ord as a devout churchman was particularly exceptional. The church lost one of its finest members when the grim reaper called >n our beloved friend. -?In closing this tribute to Mr. Logan, allow me to say that I sincerely believe that South Carolina has sustained a loss that will :ake long to replace in the death jf Mr. Logan.
