If it is possible for him to arrange
matters So There will be many
other visitors from the different con-
ferences and aspirants for honors at
the General Conference. Bishop
Parks is the presiding bishop of this
district and is putting forth every
effort to make this banner year In
Tennessee. From present indications
it seems that the reports will be
extra large, especially for educational
purposes and the general fund. 1t is
expected that a good deal of shifting
around will take place at this CON
ference. Since the death OF DR.. T.
w. Haigler one of the presiding ell
ders, the air has been full of rumors
as to who will be his successor. Many
have been mentioned, but at this
writing no forecast can be made that
seems in any wise reliable. The pro-
motion of some man to the presiding
eldership will leave one of the best
,hurches in the conference to be
filed, and some young man who has
made record will in all likelihood
be moved up
The st. John A. M. f. Church,
where the conference is to be held,
has everything in readiness. DR..
Howard, the new pastor, has done
great work this year and his people
are delighted with him and will be
greatly disappointed if he is not re,
turned, The conferences will be en-
tertained by the various African
Methodist churches of the city. A
spread will be laid in the dining
room each day. On Wednesday. the
opening day, dinner will be served at
Bethel; on the 10Th, by st. Paul; on
the 27th, by ST. Luke, Ebenezer, Trf-
nifty and Flat Rock; on the 2Sth, by
Salem, St James and Scovel Street;
on the 10Th, by St. John; on the S0th,
the closing day, by Bethel. The cleo
ton of General Conference delegates
promises to be a great contest. Five
or six will be elected out of about
twenty aspirants, but the sitting
down will come when the ballots are
cast, and it is believed that the
strongest men will be selected re-
CARELESS of fear or favor
The visitors to this conference will |
be treated to many able sermons and
speeches by the distinguished visi-
tors, bishops and general officers who
will be present at the different SEES
'ions, which means that st. John A.

activity during the next week.

NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS AS
REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

In Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas and Kansas are thousands OF
Negroes who own farms which are
well stocked and on when they live
in comfort and contentmenI, lust as
do their white neighbors. The oppor-
tunjties for the black man IN farming
are more and better in the South
than anywhere else in, or outside OF
this country.
For instance: Negro farmers own
nearly all the county of which Mar
shall Texas, is the county seat. More
over this county has the reputation
of being one of the most fertile In
the state.
