Trading .\t Home It is an encouraging sign to see and know that the masses of our people are trading and buying at home merchants atul businessmen rather than going to the expense and trouble to trade somewhere else. “Strange As It May Seem,” we can find just as good merchandise or other services here in our own com munities as we can find in some distant place. Rev. Herbeil Spaugh, Cou rier columnist, called attent ion to the fact recently that “we always think that the best preacher, teacher, and in general the best of everything is outside our communities and section, when as a mat ter of fact we have just as good among us as there is anywhere, the trouble is, to often we are unable to see it.” the law officers in Monroe, Ga., did last summer regard ing the lynching of four Ne groes. After months of in vestigations the Georgia of ficers stated that not even mob member could be one identified, hence nothing was done about the cold blooded murder of four defenseless people. Officers of the law elected and sworn to protect and pie- serve the lives of all the peo ple regardless of race must put forth every possible ef fort to protect everyone when in their custody, and when anything happens such as the recent lynching everything possible must be done to bring the guilty to the bar of justice. Finally, scores of powerful groups a n d organizations have argued a long time for federal anti-lynch law. While , , I the majority of people in the A Iriend ol South have said that local au thorities could handle the on his way to the post office to send a money order for some chickens that he had seen advertised. Upon in quiring the price of them we informed him that he could buy some healthy, tested, growing chicks at Forest City for a little over half what he was paying for these. When our conversation ended my friend told me that he was going to FMrest City and pur chase some chicks, and not send off the order as he had planned to do. He saved money and also helped to build his community. Finally, the Harris Herald is whole hearted in«favor of building up this county and section of western North Carolina, because we are con vinced that when our commu nity and it’s industi’ies grow we too have a chance to grow along with them. South Carolina Lynchers Arrested Within a week after 31 men lynched a Negro in South Carolina, 30 of them were in jail charged with the crime. The appi-ehension of these lynchers shows clearly how these lynchers and law viola tors can be rounded up and jailed when the local authori ties have a will to jail them. The l^jcal law officers in and around Pickens, S. C., are to l>e commended upon the de- teniiined efforts that they put forth to bring these men to justice. State and federal officer^, were present if their service's were needed. n’h a]>j)rehension of these willful latv breakei's in South Carolina is quite a contrast to the indifferent wav that matter with speed, efficien cy and justice. It can be clear ly seen now that the only ef fective argument against an anti-lync.h law is for all of those concerned to protect the guilty rather than let a mob take them off like the Pick ens county jailer did. And in the event of a lynching those guilty should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Anything short of this calls for federal laws and interven tion. THE COUNCIL IN THE WEST Dr. H. T. Medford The annual session of the A. M. E. Zion Bishops' council was held at the Greater Cooper Church, Oakland, California, .lanuary 15- 20, 1947. Simultaneously, with the Bishop’s meeting, the Ministers and Laymens Association and the Executive Board of the Women’s Homes and Foreign Missionary Society also held semi-annual ses sions. The Cooper church appoint ments are v!ry commodious, and there was ample quarters for the three separate meetings Bishop F. W. Alslork, the re tiring chairman of the Board of Bishop’s delivered an exception ally appropriate sermon and fol lowing the rotating custom: Bish op E. B. Watson, elected chair man and Bishop W. J. Walts was re-elected secretary. Bishop Wat son eondueted the business with dispatch, and finished the work of | the council on scheduled lime. The ten active Bishops and Bishop Wallace (retired) were present and participated in the work of the council, as were the ten general officers including the president of Livingstone college. The eleven general officers of the W, H. & Foreign Missionary so ciety and the eleven Missionary supervisors, with a large number of presiding elders, pastors and leading laymen were seen ahd heard at this Zion church con clave on the Pacific coast. Rev, George L. Fauntleroy was the pastor-host to the council and other group meetings. He had giv en much publicity through letters, placards, radio announcements and the entire Bay Area Press, to the coming of the “Top Men” and other Zion Methodist leaders. The pastor-host had several autos marked “guest cars' and put at the disposal of the Bishops and others for the week, without cost. These cars met the trains for in coming persons and convoyed the guests to and from their domi ciles, during the meeting, the largest number of the general public attended that we have seen at similar meetings. Persons of the ^ministry and laity came from far South as San Diego, near borders of Mexico, more than six hundred miles away, and as far north as Seattle, Wash., almost a thousand miles away. Bishops, general officers and visiting pastors were much in de mand for pulpits of “Bay Area,” including, Oakland, San,Francisco, Berkeley and Almeda Sunday, January i9, 1947, so much were their presence and messages ap preciated that the “honorariums” given them ran from twenty, fifty and in one case one hundred dol lars. Mrs. Emma C. Clement, Louis ville, Ky., The American Mother for 1946, was a great attraction, and was the recipient ol several receptions attended by leaders of both races, and for much newspa per notice and editorials in the U. S. Senator Nations Oakland Tribune. The Women Missionaries led by Mrs. M. Anna Hauser and Mrs. Abbie Clement Jackson reached the coast at Los Angeles, Sunday morning, January 12, where their leaders addressed a large gather ing at our first churh, that after noon. Bishop E. B. Watson, who with Mrs. Watson was also with that party, preached at the first church to a great advantage at the morning service. The Pacific Coast Caravan When the Bishops decided to go to California for their meeting, the vigilant and aetive Dr. James W. Eichelberger, seeretary of the Christian Education, conceived the idea of forming a group of the general officers, who could and would spend an extra two weeks among our churches on the coast, j Dr. H. B. Shaw, secretary Home Missions and Relief, Wilmington, N. C.; Dr. C. W. Lawrence, Greensboro, N. C. and H. T. Med ford, Washington, D. C., secretary Foreign Missions and editor. Mis sionary Seer; with Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Medford, and John Hurbert Shaw, Jr. and Mrs. Francis At kins, Dr. Shaw’s office secretary joined Dr. Eichelberger at his commodious Michigan avenue home in Chicago, Saturday morn ing December 28th. After a pleas ant over night sojourn in that the group known as “The Zion Church Pacific Coast Caravan” an itinerary was arranged by which as a group or individuals of the group, we reached and delivered messages at practically every point over a stretch ol -.approxi mately IT’S AMAZING!
