NANCE MAY BE BISHOP
Has Been Indorsed by Two Church
Bodies.

The State, 22nd.
Negro communicates of the Afri-
can Methodist church in South Caro-
lima are anxious to have DR.. R. w.
Nance, president of Allen university,
elected to the bench of bishops in
that church next May at the meeting
of the general conference which
meets in St. Louis, Missouri. The
conferences ofthe church in this state
last summer indorsed DR.. Nance for
this office. The connectional council
which met with the bishops council in
Baltimore last week also indorsed DR..
Nance.
If DR.. Nance is elected to the bish-
opic, he will be the third successful
candidate from this state elected to
that office since 1912. In the general
conference of 1912, Bishop W. D.
Chappelle, now bishop of this diocese,
was elected. In 1906, when the
quadrennial general conference met
in Philadelphia, Bishop w. W. Brack-
EFT, now bishop of the African diocese
in West Africa, was elected. In the
drive and election of the former min
listers elected from this state, Dr..
Nance was one of the leading figures
in the campaigns. Both Beckett and
Chappelle were elected from the office
as president of Allen university.
Robert Weston Nance was born at
Cokesbury, in 1876. His father, the
Rev NJ. Mercer Nance, was an Afri-
can Methodist preacher prominent in
politics during the reconstruction
period. r. W. Nance was educated in
Hoge high school, Newberry and
graduated from Clafin university
with the degree of A. B. He was
principal Of the negro high school at
Newberry for ten years and Won the
respect and confidence of both races
while in that field. Nance was
licensed to preach in 1901 by the
Rev. Hyram Young, presiding elder Of
the Columbia conference. He was
ordained elder by Bishop L. J.
Coppin and has served successfully
some fthe largest appointments IN
the a. VI. E. church. At the time
of his election to the presidency of
Allen university he had served as
presiding elder of the Beaufort dis
trict. Some of Dr.. Mance's con-
structive work has been done by him
as ranking member of the auditing
committee Of the office of the COM
missioner Of finance of his church, and
his great work at Allen university.
Nance has done wonderful good work
at Allen and has one of the largest
students enrollments of any negro
college in the state.
! At the Forthcoming general con-
ference, it is said, that four bishops
will be elected. Nance is one of the
strongest men in the connection and
is supported by the South Carolina
delegation.
The general conference meets
every four years and is made up Of
from eight 70 ten delegates from each
annual conference There are rs
annual conferences in this country
and Africa. The African work is
