THE negro question has been virtually
settled in the Episcopal Church OF
South Carolina by the diocesan con-
vention. It has been under discussion
for the past ten or twelve years, ana
came very near splitting the church IN
twain. The question came up on an
amendment 70 the constitution, which
virtually allows the only colOred clergy
man in the diocese TO retain his seat
The discussion was long and exciting.
The opponents to the proposed amend
ment offered an amendment to insert
the word white in the clause OF the
constitution prescribing the qualliica-
tion OF clergymen. After the debate
was continued for several hours,
motion was carried and the white
amendment tabled by a very substan-
tial majority. Tie seceders were not
IN the convention. although they were
represented by delegates VINO took their
view of the question. This action IS
the result Of compromise agreed upon
two wears ago. 1t is thought that the
seceders will return to the church.
