HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its*coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor skn irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that "t contained medicinal quali+
ties.

AMENDING THE CHARTER
TRUSTEES ALLEN UNIVERSITY
MEET
By I. M. A. Myers
Columbia, S. C.—Yesterday, July 27,
in the year of our Lord 1937, the trus-
tee board of Allen University elected
Eugene Howard McGill, a graduate of
Allen and also a-graduate of the South
Carolina State College for Negroes—
President of Allen University, the school
that gave the race our own Bishop
Monroe H. Davis, Wm. D. Chappelle,
A. J. Wilson, Bishop Fountain and the
distinguished columnist, Editor George
A, Singleton.
The same board at the same time
elected the writer a member of the
faculty in the School of Education, and
the writer is an alumnus of Allen and
also of Hampton Institute.
The happiest thing to be remembered
about the whole affair is Bishop Flip-
per’s opening address and his unique
procedure in presiding over the trustee
board-“I have neyer~ seen a Bishop
handle factions among Negroes with
such “uniqueness” as does Bishop Flip-
per. LIreiterate: “He is ina class with
Henry McNeil Turner as a bishop.”
The committee on teachers presented
two fine men for the election of presi-
dent of Allen University: Rev. E. H.
McGill and Rev. E. F. G. Dent. Mc-
Gill led Dent by three votes and was
elected. They are both Allenites. Now
that McGill is elected he will have the
hearty support of Rev. Dent. If Dent
had been elected he would have had the
hearty support of Rev. McGill. That's
that.
The men appreciate the presence of
Bishop Davis.~ It was a delight to his
maiuy friends.
Now that the trustees have elected an
Allenite president of Allen University,
what’s next? Let every Alumnus of
Allen in the United States of America
give loyal support to the administration
of President E. H. McGill. If Bishop
Chappelle could call forth from his
tomb—he would cry out with a loud
yoice—Amen !
