DR.. Allen has endeavored to lead

His policy as an oditor, as a minister
and as teacher has been to ad-
vocate those principles which make
for the upbuilding of Christian char

DR.. c. w. ALLEN EoR RIsHop

DR.. G. w. ALLEN FOR BISHOP.
When the general conference of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church meets in Kansas City, May
s, it will have before it the election
of four, and possibly five, new bish-
ops. There are four vacancies to
be filled and it is not improbable that
new bishopric will be created at
this conference.
Already there are several candi-
dates for the places to be filed.
Among them is one who is well and
most favorab'y known to the people
of Columbus, among whom he has
lived and worked for many years.
He is Alabama's candidate, Rev. G..
w. Allen, D. D., editor ana publisher
of the Southern Christian Recorder.
DIR. Allen was born and reared in
Alabama, not far from Columbus. and
with the exception of a few years of
his life, spent in Bullock County, Ala,
he has lived in this community He
has been minister in his church for
about thirty years and for many
years was teacher in the public
schools of Alabama. For long time
he was principal of the colored
schools of Girard.
There is no member or the colored
race in all this section of the coun-
try who is more highly esteemed,
nor in whom the people who know
him have greater confidence in every
way than G. w. Allen His efforts
have always been for the betterment
of his race, and his work has been
done along lines producing the best
and most lasting results. He has
shown an earnest desire to accomp-
fish in life, not so much for his in
dividual benefit as for the benefit of
others, and none more gladly and
cordially commend him in his efforts
than those white people who know
him best.
AS editor of the Southern Chris
tan Recorder, which is one of the
organs of the church, established
twenty-four years ago for the nenefit
of the southern wing of the church,
Or Allen has labored earnestly and
faithfully. He is the sixth editor of
the paper, having been elected at
Chicago in May, 1904 and soon will
have served eight years in this ca
pacity The paper has made remark
able strides since he has had charge
of it. it's growth having been most
gratifying. From a circulation Of
1900, at the time ne assumed the
management of it, it has increased
until it now has upon its books ap-
proximately 1000 He is the only
one of the six men who has edited
and published the paper who has
never allowed it to miss an issue, and
the Recorder now occupies the proud
position of leader among the church
papers. 1t has a large circulation in
the north, to whom it carries mes
sage of peace and good will as we'll
as fellowship every week.
The A. M, r, Church of the South
is almost unit in requesting the
election of DIR. Allen to the bishopric,
and there is good reason why this
should be so. 1t is explained in a
few words. He has given satisfaction
to his church as an editor, as we'll as
minister, and to his people gener-

POLI'S THEATRE

Edward sheldon's gripping1y intense drama of the South, ''The Nigger," will be the vehicle of the Poli players ginaIly produced by Liebler & O., at the New Theater in New York and was phenomenal success from the start. The author has handled the racial problem in a pleasing andehigh- ly interesting manner and the play is bound to meet with approval where yer it Is produced. The scenes are laid in the South at the time when racial feeling was at its height. Philip Morrow. a young nors71ip and Clifton Moves, owner of a distillery, is particularly interested in the election of Morrow thinking he will support the liquor interests. One of eyer staged is the fight between Nor row. who has been elected, and mob q negro, who while intoxicated has committed the uncomfortable crime [ upon a. white woman The governor single handed, holds at bay the mob, which makes every effort to relieve the frightened negro of the burden of life by hanging him to a tree, and in vetoes bill for the continuation of li- censes This unexpected move enrages Moves and in retaliation he makes known to Morrow that he has colored blood in his veins. Morrow sends for his fiancee. Georgiana Byrd. and tells here what he has heard. She
 
 he prepares to make known to the pub- lie the truth regarding his antece- dents His courage and the thought of the sacrifice he is about to make softens the girl and she returns to him and everything ends happily for all concerned.
 The play is all the more interest ing now coming at a time when con- ference is being held by the governors of the Southern states: some. of whom have expressed decidedly radical views which would seem to encourage rather than deter mob violence.
 Miss Ethel Clifton, the new leading woman will have @ splendid role as Georgiana Byrd and MT. Van Beuren, the leading man will be given excep- tional opportunities for clever acting in the role of Philip Morrow. MT. Kent, Mise Pringle, Miss Starr. Mir Fox, MT. Williams, Miss Bernard and all the other members of the popular stock company will have important parts. The closing performances of Sidney Grundy's forceful drama, Sowing the Wind" will be given this afternoon and tonight.
