NEGROES IN THE NORTH
NOW WANT BISHOPS
Problem Up In Northern
Methodis Church.
CONFERENCE WILE MEET IN MAY
At Baltimore And Claims of Race Will
Then Be Pressed Review of the
Efforts That Have Been Made
In That Direction.
BALTIMORE, JID„ October 5.
{Special.)—As one after another of
the annual conference of the Me
thodist Episcopal Church meet in
one part or another of the country,
and as the bishops of the denomina
tion begin to look forward to the
next session of the General Confer
ence, which will meet in Baltimore
in May, the fact becomes established
that the race problem will have to be
decided by that body.
In this connection it is interesting
to recall the events of the past. The
first promise of future recognition
was extended to the negroes by the
General Conference of 1872, when this
declaration was made:
“There is nothing in race, color
or former condition of servitude that
is a bar to an election of the episco
pacy.
The claims of our numerous and
noble-hearted membership of Afri
can descent to perfect equality of
relation with all others in our com
munion are fully recognized by the
discipline and amply demonstrated
in the administration of the Method
ist Episcopal Church.
Election to the o fHce of bishop
from among candidates who are mu
tually equal cannot be special consid
erations.”
In 1880 the General Conference de
clared ‘t‘he best interests of our
church in general and of our colored
people in particular require that one
or more of our general superinten
dents be of African descent.”
This promise of a position of high
est dignity, for in the church there
is no priority among the bishops,
has been held constantly in view by
the negro members, but at each suc
ceeding session of the convention the
sentiment has been expressed that the
time had not yet arrived and that
it was yet to come.
But in 1904 after pressure had
ben brought for some action, a com
promise was decided on. An amend
ment was proposed, which will be
voted on by the annual conference
this fall and next spring, that bishops
for work among particular races be
created. In this amendment it was
provided that the power of such
bishops be less than that of bishops
of the older order and not represent
ing any particular race.
The negroes in the church see in
this compromise a chance to have
some members of their race made a
bishop at once, but a bishop with re
stricted power. Some of the negroes
believe it possible to use this as a
stepping stone to absolute equality,
while the great majority are opposed
to the compromise and delcare it is
a makeshift that will have the ten
dency of spoiling their chances of
ultimate equality.
The limit of the power of such
bishops who would corespond to the
“missionary bishops” would lie in the
fact that they would not be members
of the Board of Bishops. That they
would have no vote in that body and
could only attend by courtesy. They
could be heard only by suspension of
rules, their expenses would not be
paid, and their names would not ap
pear in official documents.
While the whole problem is that
of dealing with the negroes who are
aspiring for promotion in the coun
cils of the church, the wording of
the amendment is such that if passed
it would have a wider scope. It is
"for races and languages” and there
might then be bishops for the Ital
ians. Germans and Scandinavians and
all the other races in the church,
which extends almost around the
world.
The proposed amendment was
launched Saturday night of the clos
ing of the General Conference of
1904, the last meeting of that body,
and the vote upon it was hasty. Two
thirds of the members voted in favor
of the passage of the amendment and
its submission to the annual confer
ence. Many of the leaders of the
church, who have desired the final
settlement of the negro problem in
the church to be deferred, have re
gretted that the amendment was passed
and that the difficult question will
demand a positive answer next
spring.

YOUR HAT
Hay Be a Stylish One, Bat It Makes
Trouble.
A man usually buys a hat that’s "in
style,” but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer
ous every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruff It is a
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work.
There is hut one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs—that way is
to apply Newbro’s Herplcide to the
scalp—it will kill the germs and healthy
hair is sure to result.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many an Americas Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders is enough to make any kid
ney sufferer grateful, To tell how
this great change can be brought
about will prove comforting to hun
dreds of Americus readers.
G. W. Hering, undertaker, of 111
Madison street, and living at 113
Madison street, Tkomasville, says: "I
have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and
found them a very effective remedy
for a weak back. My back has
given me much trouble for a long
time past and I suffered with a dull,
heavy pain across the loins and the
urine also bothered me. It was very
dark and strong and contained a
sediment. The passages were like
wise too frequent, not only during
the day but also during the night,
waking me at all hours and breaking
my rest and leaving me tired and
worn out in the morning. This had
an injurious effect upon my general
health. I tried quite a number of
different remedies but none of them
seemed to do me any good until I got
Doan’s Kidney Pills and used them
as directed. My back is strong again.
I have no pain at all and the kidney
secretions have been restored to a
normal condition. I can go to bed
and sleep and rest well all night.
Doan's Kidney Pills did this and T
know that they are a valuable reme
dy.”
