negro preacher and leader Of his race
in South Carolina, has been suggested
by ]. G. Butler, a steel manufacturer
Of Ohio, to take the place Of Booker
T. Washington as national lecturer
for the negro race. This information
will be received with interest and
satisfaction by friends Of Carroll
throughout the state. He is a good
man and his influence Is the very best.

negro leaders Of his day. and the white
people Of South Carolina have conf

while they have been quite extended in
this state, have by no means been con-
fined to South Carolina. For years he

his friends, both white and black, to

prominently forward in the great work
that he Is engaged since the death Of

most part Of earnest. good men, who
are trying to do good in the world and
use the secret orders as one of the
means Of accomplishing good. They
are not easily deceived. They can
detect the true from the false. They
welcome all right-minded men into
their ranks, and are always eager to
extend the helping hand where 1t Is
needed; but they are resentful and Of
long memory when they see efforts be-

good they are trying to do. Occasion
