ERE THE PRESIDENT ILI/€rO FOR VACATION. - Washington, D. C., May 30—. President Coolidge will not lack opportunities to study the farm problem in the vacation home which he has selected, and judg ing from past experiences he wili not fail to profit by it. In the .four States, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nebras ka, there are over 300,000 farm ers and 50,000,000 acres of tilla ble land. In four other near-by States, North Dakota, Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota, there 650,000 farmers and 90,000,000 acres of crop producing land. Furthermore, the Black Hills territory is the real playground of this enormous farming popu lation. The lack of frills of fine linen, silver and cut glass in the summer vacationings of these - people will not disturb the Presi dent, and it will be most surpris ing if he does not establish his contact with them during the time of his stay. He is going to a land where people rise with the dawn and work their living out of the soil. ' There are few surtaxes paid by the people who in their holidays tramp and fish and hunt in this territory. The granite may be a little softer than that' with which is familiar in his native State of Vermont, but he will find the aspirations, ideals and' characteristics of these people similar to those of his neighbors in the Green Mountain State. The immediate result of the President’s visit will be the spending within the State of a quite considerable sum of mon dy by visitors who otherwise would have journeyed to other points. In addition, however, before the season is over this playground will have been ad vertised to such an extent by reason of Mr. Coolidge’s visit, that it will have a boom which will last for years to come. CLOSING EXERCISES OF HARDIN ACADEMY, ALLEN DALE, S. C. By Mrs. G. Ritter Hardin Academy closed one of the most successful terms of its history, from May 27th-June 1st. On May 27th at 8:30 a packed house witnessed the primary ex Sunday at 3:30 we assembled ercise, which was grand, again and we all enjoyed a great sermon to the graduating class and school by Dr. J. M. Miller whose text was Acts 22:10 and Matt. 10:7, “What shall I do?” “Go Teach.” Dr. Miller to the delight of his hearers discussed “The Three Great Epochs in Life—Birth, Living and Death.” This was a message long to be remembered by all who heard it. On Tuesday, 8: 30 P. M., was the time for the Juniors and In termediate grades, which had a real grand program. Next was the closing Wednes day at 8:30. At the appointed hour with Mr. V. J. McFadden at the organ, Principal McFad den ushered in the graduating class of three. The program was as follows: Song, Recitation of the Com mandments. Invocation by Rev. C. C. Rey nolds, followed by a chant. Song, “Listen to the Lambs.” Recitation, Miss Estelle Rheo Thompson, subject, Booker T. Washington. Recitation, Miss Lula Estelle Tilly, subject, Like Lincoln. Recitation, Miss Madgaline Miller, subject, George Washing ton. Instrumental solo, Miss B. C. Reynolds. Quartett. The address to the graduating class, Rev. S. T. Redd, B. D. Rev. Redd spoke from the sub ject, ‘The Demands of the Age.” He brought out three great points, Faith, Gratitude and Service. We were sorry when Rev. Redd had finished. Next was a song, “Hard Tri als,” then the offering, class song and chorus, “We’ll Not Forget You.” Benediction. Every place you turn you can hear the people saying about the closing exercises, we have never seen it on this order before. Too much cannot be said . about the good work that Rev. ' McFadden and his good teach ers are doing. ST. JAMES CHURCH GREENSBORO By Mrs. G. A.

Services at Lebanon Presby terian church, Sunday, June 5, were largely attended. The at tendance rally in which the con gregation is zealously engaged resulted in the presence of many visitors at both services. All who came expressed themselves as being greatly benefitted. Sunday morning, the pastor preached a stirring sermon from Neh. 4:6, “So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to wcrk.” From this passage the pastor brought to us a message of great hope and inspiration, so that at thie close of the ser mon we all had a stronger mind to work for the carrying out of our church program for the year. A total of $45.10 was reported on the church debt. This is but the beginning of Lebanon’s campaign to free herself from debt, and with the excellent spirit which is now manifest, our prospects for the future are very promising. In order to stimulate the spir itual as well as financial growth of the church, our membership has been divided into fourteen clubs, each having a captain and a lieutenant. Ten of the clubs are composed of members residing in this community, while four clubs are composed of members in distant cities who maintain a steadfast loyalty to their mother church. The clubs are now engaged in a spirited campaign to wipe out a long standing church indebtedness. At the night service a record crowd was in attendance and listened with great interest to another cheering message from Ezekiel 37: 3. The choir of Mac edonia Baptist church furnished music for the occasion which delighted the congregation be yond measure. On Friday night, June 10, Club No. 2, Mrs. Horace Dawkins, Captain, will give an entertain ment at the Lebanon parochial school. The same club will con duct a special service at the church on Tuesday night, June 14, at which time a special ser mon will be delivered by Rev. Henry Harrison. Sunday night, June 19, we are to be favored with an ad dress by Dr. Robert L. Douglass af the faculty of Johnson C. Smith University. As Dr. Douglass, in addition to being a scholar and orator of renown, is also a distinguished son of Fairfield County, champion pro ducer of Negro men, it is expect ed that his address will be heard by a large and enthusiastic au dience. Mrs. Ella Benson, who has been living in Philadelphia during the past year, has returned to Ridgeway. Her many friends are glad indeed to see her. Mrs. Nelly Holly and Mr. Henry Henderson continue on the sick list. We are glad, how ever, to note the recovery of Mr. Ben Prayloe, Sr., from a serious illness, and marked improve ment in the condition of Mr. Charlie Martin. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Dun gee, is planning to attend the Ministers’ Conference to be held at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., June 20-24. CORRESPONDENT* WANTS A NEGRO IN CON GRESS. The Chicago Defender hits the nail squarely on the head when it says that the race needs a first class Negro in Congress, and yet why just one? The Ne gro group is about the only group of any size in America that is not represented in Con gress. The most bitter dema gogue may get up in Congress and utter the most slanderous and false things about the Ne gro—and sometimes they do— and there is none to call his hand. The time was when such was not the case. Who does not get thrilled while reading the eloquent reply of Robert Brown Eliot to Chas. F. Crisp? Why not give us the Congressman, Chi cago? You have the vote.—From The Palmetto Leader. MT. TABOR CHURCH NOTES Sunday morning, May 22, we were pleased to have Rev. S. L. Young, of Winston-Salem, to preach for us while Dr. J. L. Hollowell is attending the Gen eral Assembly. Rev. Young brought an interesting message from II Timothy 2: 3. We had a large crowd for the morning service. We were very glad to have with us Mr. Eu JOHNSflN C SMITH UNIVERSITY j&QMtioiii to the €Mme Clock Fund to Date. jSSSSSS Mis. B. M. EI”z, lbs. W. L Dr. J. D. Martin. Rev. E. U. D. Goring Rev. J. G.
