FORMER SECRETARY OF FOREIGN
MISSIONS OF THE A. M. e.
CHURCH ELECTION AS UNIVER-
SITY HEAD A POPULAR ONE.

Manning, s. C.-The new president
of Allen university is the Rev. W. w.
Beckett, d. D., former secretary of
missions of the A. M. e. church. DIR.
Beckett was elected to this position
by the board of trustees at its annual
session. His election meets the
hearty approval of laymen and minis
ters everywhere.
In the race for this position were
four other prominent and well known
candidates. They were the Rev. R. W.
Nance, presiding elder of the Beaufort
district; the Rev. d. 7. Mcdaniel of
Spartansburg, one of the first college
graduates of the school; the Rev. San
dy Simmons, D. D.. presiding elder Of
the Georgetown district, an alumnus
of the University of Michigan, and
the Rev. ]. E. Beard, an alumnus of
the Georgia State University for Ne
groes.
Dr. Beckett's election was made
unanimous after the first ballot, the
other candidates withdrawing in his
favor. The concensus of opinion
among the leaders of the church Is
that the administration of DR.. Beckett
will be fruitful and that all forces in
the state will be coupled for success
full work.
The Allen university is the pride of
the negro people in South Carolina and
is doing a great work. Connected
with it is a board of 100 trustees,
among whom are some of the many
great preachers, school men and most
substantial citizens of the state. The
trustees annual fee is So each. The
school is conducted by church funds
DR.. Beckett being a man well known
and popular with the masses through
out the United States, 1t is believed
that his election will be the means of
bringing additional funds to the
school. He is an eloquent speaker. a
man of great personality.
Bishop II. NJ. Turner of Atlanta pre-
sided at the recent meeting. Bishop
Turner has been recently appointed to
South Carolina and was elected chan
cellor of Allen university. He gave
100 books to the library of Allen, and
is laying plans for the erection of
another building on the campus.

An Observing Puppy.

A rector writes from Eonitou. Eng
land. to record an instance of a very
high order of intelligence in an ami
mal, of a power OF reasoning.
Il have & bull pup aged ten months
and bulldog four years old, both OF
which live in the house and are great
pets. \ short time ago my wife was
i'll; and, though the older dog. owing
TO his quiet and sedats way, was al
lowed to enter her room, the puppy
was never admitted. The nurse could
always tell which dog was at the door,
because the older dog gave one single
and gentle scratch, and then remained
quiet. while the puppy scratched vio-
lentlv and frequently. and whined. The
puppy apparently could not under
stand why she was not admitted. and
felt her exclusion sorely. One day she
scratched furiously. as usual. No no.
tice was taken. Presently she was
heard going flop. flop downstairs
In a Few minutes the single gentle
scratch of the old dog was heard, the
door was opened, and there were both
dogs
Strange to say. from that time the
puppy so initiated the scratch OF the
other dog that ii was impossible to
tell which was at the door. Undoubt-
eddy, the puppy went and asked the
old dog to show her how he gained
admission. How else can one explain
the fact"

TO MAKE APOLOGY

MEXICO CITY. July 30,--President
Nadero has refused to make an
apology to the Argentine government
for statements made by him at the
opening Of a military school here
about three months ago. The presi-

Ing that Manuel Ugarte. the Argen-
tine poet who was forced TO leave
Mexico because Of his fiery speeches
in favor of anarchy and against the
United States, should have been kept
at home, and that it was the fault Of
the Argentine government that Ugarte
got himself into trouble. The Argen-
tine minister asked an explanation.
and Madero responded that his ut
terances We're private. and he could
see no reason why he or his depart
ment OF foreign relations should make
amends for them.
