Former Editor

headed for Little Rock, Ark, with
out one dime of capital given him
to publish the organ from the At
rican Methodist body,
DR.. Clayborn was given the task
to head the Recorder at time as
Tom Payne says that tiles mems
soul' when the financial de-
partment Of the AME body was I'M
able to meet the full payroll of its
officers. which predicament faced
this stalwart son upon his new ad-
venture. With a determined effort
and faith in God and his fellow
men, he landed in Little Rock
with no other backings, and after
period Of four years the Record
or was housed in a modern office
and being published in its own
plant. which was acquired thru
the ingenuity of this man. Thus,
for the first time, the AME body
could boast of an office west of
the Mississippi River, even tho
it had made no effort to finance the
publication.
DR.. Clayborn, unlike his success
sor. had to start from the bottom
with only half Of his salary. He
started out with the mutual con-
fidencc between him and his fell
lowmen and a desire to prove to
his supericrs that he was worthy
and appreciativc of the task Civ
en- him. At that time historical in
stitutions were failing from the re-
suits Of the country's worse fl
nancial upset. He had to pay. as
all other editors who emerged in
the field Of journalism, living ex-
pensc for himself and family, with
no concession given and none ask
ed. And after s years Of success
full operation, with record of
travelling more than any other Of
ficer without asking a penny from
any source to help defray expense,
he journeyed TO Detroit to the 1910
colfab Of the AME body and turn
ed over to that body the results

siness consisting of a well equip
ped printing plant and an improved

gan valued at $4,000 free Of all
debts, and over 81 900 in cash mon

During the interim of DR., Clay
horns editorship Of the Southern
Christian Recorder, he contributed
much money to aid the unfortun-
ate ministers of the organization
md extended many courtcsies. He
bought and paid for one Of the
finest homes in the city Of Lit
tie Rock for himself and family.
He ran for the Bishopric in 1910,
and upon being defeated, returned
to him home with clear concept
ion of what he had done to far
tier the cause ann standing Of the
AME body meant to that body,
kept his vow and turned over to
his successor, renewing his two
daughters ef good positions in the
enterprise that his ingenuity had
built, the printing plant as was
and in addition, coormatcd with fl
nancial baekings with the new
editor that he may not have to face
the hardship that was his in his
beginning.
Much praise is due DR., j. II.
Clayborn for the work he has done
for the Methodist body, When DR.,
Clayhorn accepted a masthead and
few names on a subscription list,
and in years built recognized
publication with Il modern plant
and paid for it with one-half OF
his salary being paid at a time
when the country was facing one
of the worst periods of financial
existence, he disapproved the ad-
age de nihilo nihil fit.
The publishing of the Southern
Christian Recorder in its own
plant seems to meet with finan-
eial difficulties by DR.. Clayborn's
successor, and the Recorder was
moved to Nashville, Tenn, where
it is being printed, and the plant
Of the Recorder that was given free
of all obligations by DR.. Clayborn
has been rented by the present
editor to another firm for $500

Church, means a contribution from
