KANSAS MAYOR OF MOBILE, ALABAMA IGNORED MEETING OF THE GRAND LODGE AND COURTS ```markdown ``` Vol. VIII Atlanta, Ga.—Now here I am in Georgia and if I were not here I would be in some other place, but put it down that I told you that I have done some going or going some since I wrote you that other letter which you have read. You recall when I wrote you that other letter I was up yonder in some other part of the world, and when I got through I just made my way down to Mobile, Alabama, where the Grand Court of Calanthe was to meet in connection with the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I had an invitation to be special guest of the Grand Court, and since I was their special guest, I guess I will have to tell you what I saw and how I saw it. The Grand Court of Calanthe of Georgia is different from any other in this country and they are just doing different things, and they have a different presiding officer, for it is presided over by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, of Birmingham, and you will believe me when I tell you that she is one of the most remarkable women in this whole country, and you must know that I know what I am talking about. Mrs. Tuggle entered this world at Eufaula Alabama, but just how many years ago, I do not know, but I have discovered that her birthday is the same day as mine and I have been living so long I do not know how to count the years. I can't count them on my fingers. Well, she is just a worker. A long time ago she was placed at the head of the Court of Calanthe for Aabama, and before she could get them to the point of doing things she had her ups and downs and even her rounds, and now things are getting ripe. If at the rap of a gavel she should make a thousand women stand up, and then ten thousand women, and even more, so she thought that if that many would stand at the sound of the gavel in her hands, then that same number of women could hear through that gavel the cry of many boys and girls in the state wanting to be helped, so about 21 years ago came from her fertile brains, the Tuggle Institute, on Enon Ridge, in Birmingham. Ala. The school has flourished like a green bay tree, until fire came and swept away the main building. Up to this time the Grand Court of Calanthe, and the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection have been supporting the school, and thousands of boys and girls have been helped to put their think tanks in operation. The band master of the high school of Birmingham, Prof. John Whatley, is from Tuggle, and he got all of his training there. This is worth while, and he is a man every inch of it. The Grand Court was largely attended in Mobile, and the people were delighted to see them. They opened and Mrs. Tuggle made a wonderful address and when this was all over when they turned attention to the appointment of two important committees. Then there were some talks and they took a recess and spent the afternoon and evening conferring some kind of a degree. When the degree was ever at night they all had a joint meeting at the State Street A. M. E. Zion church, and they had some speeching, I am here to tell you. Big speeches were in order. Then the mayor of Mobile had been invited to welcome this body of colored people to the city, but he was not there, and did not show them the courtesy to send them an excuse, but left them to go where the wind was never known to blow, so fan as he was concerned. I never believe in inviting a mayor to speak on such an oc- SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 casion, but they had invited him there, and since they did not hear from him they made a mess of it by appointing the pastor of State Street A. M. E. church to represent the mayor. That was just one more messy thing, and then there came the reply—which of course was a misfit, but the man had prepared his address and he had it on his constitution and had to pull it off. He made a good talk and there were others who followed. The next day Mrs. Tuggle told the women if they loved the children they had an opportunity to show it, and the roll was called and when Mrs. Fannie Cosby-Blevins was through calling the roll they had placed on the table for Tuggle Institute a little over two thousand dollars, and they declared that they were going in and do more. I had just one ten dollars and I planked down with the rest and wept because I did not have more. Mrs. Tuggle is a woman who just will make you love her and you are glad to follow her. Do you know of any other organization of women turning their money into education of children? If you do I want you to let me know. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, from New Orleans, was there, and he made one more big space. He spoke of the wonderfulness of Mrs. Tuggle and I don't blame him. He was the honored guest of the Guard Lodge of Knights of Pythias and he made a speech for them as well as he did for the grand court, and he said many good things about the order. I took notice that he did not say anything about Missouri, for that was not the place, but I will bet my head to a ginger cake that Missouri is going to pay up or will find itself in the midst of a heluva fix. I don't mind you telling the folks that I told you so. Strong, cultured, educated women made up this body. While in Mobile I was the guest of Miss Daisy E. Jackson and her mother and honey they did take care of me, and when I got through there I made my way up the read, but I would not forget Dr. H. Roger Williams, one of the leading physicians in this country, and a man of experience, a man of culture, a man of brains. He is just the thing the doctor ordered. Dr. Williams is writing a wonderful book, and he is going to live on and on through the hearts of the people. He is a great writer as well as a great doctor. I had the pleasure of seeing how busy he is all the time. It is almost as hard to get to see Dr. Williams at times as it is to see the president of the United States, because of the large number of people who go to se him. You must line up and take your turn if you would see this busy race man. Then I made my way to Montgomery, and from Montgomery, and from Montgomery to Atlanta, Ga., spent the night with the president of the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress, Dr. D. W. Cannon, and when we got up in the morning he tcted me around to se the town and when he turned me loose, I found my way to The Atlanta Independent office, the leading paper of our race in Georgia. This is the paper of which that great leader, Ben J. Davis, is the editor-in-chief. When I mention his name you will smile, for you know I am talking about a man. He has made this country take notice. He put the Odd Fellows of Georgia on the map, and he has through his business leadership made them own a whole block of buildings right in the business part of the city, and I will bet my sox that it is (Continued on Page 4) CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, August 18, 1922 RECITAL ETXRAORDINARY PASTOR'S AID BOARD GAVE QUITE A SURPRISE ON THEIR PRESIDENT The members of the Pastor's Aid Board of First A. M. E. church, sprung quite a surprise on their president, Mrs. Ida Lyons, Wednesday evening. Mrs. Lyons had just returned from a trip through Colorado and the vice-president, Mrs. Hayes and members, wanted to show their president their appreciation for her splendid leadership. The affair was held at the parsonage, 1111 North Eighth street and at 9 o'clock with a few honored guests, were called to the beautiful dining room of the parsonage, where a fine chicken dinner awaited their appetites, finishing up on two kinds of ice cream and a variety of delicious cake. Rev. J. F. Griffin was master of ceremonies and when he announced who this well planned affair was in honor, it took Mrs. Lyons' appetite away for a time, at least. Talks were made by a number of the members and the honored guests, clinging with remarks by Mrs. Lions, showing her appreciation for this agreeable surprise and said her desire was to do more this year, through the co-operation of her splendid coworkers for needy humanity than ever before. Invited guests were Bishop and Mrs. H. B. Parks, Editor and Mrs. Kennedy. The affair was one of actual joy and social good.

The committee is working hard to raise the amount of money required by the party, who is to make it possible for the home to be built, so it is up to the public of this city as to whether this much needed institution is erected or fails.

You bet me, that you told me—what I bin thinkin' er-bout? Yes,—I told you,—what you bin tinkin' er-bout. Well I took dat bet. Well—you bin tinkin—"How does a feller feel, when he knows de Grant Lodge is goin to be here in a few days, und all dem big-up fellers is goin to be here, and und meet wid dem whats been thinking they is big-up here; und dey iss goin ter say, Umph, and dis iss Kansas Ceety, Kas., and de grant looge und like dat;—und where is your hall, where you meets, und—" Und den you says,—er,—ahem,—der hall what you taks er—we iss been talkin him too;—but we aint got um yet,—but we iss goin ter." Well,—I ain't been thinking just exactly that way; but you win the bet any way,—because that is a mighty got way, to been thinking er-bout. And really I have been thinking, that it is a galling shame; that we have not done more than we have along the line of building a hall for the Masonic order. I have been modest in pushing my ideas upon others, and have been inclined at all times, to do nothing to retard; but to lend effort to help bolster—up the notions of others, when in the right direction. However, in this particular case, I have an idea, and have been thinking seriously upon here of late. And it is a simple, plain and highly feasible one. One bv which we can easily get inside of a hall, altogether suitable, and in keeping with the needs of the order here, within twelve months. Yes,—I have been thinking on that matter, and it is barely possible (if it pleases everybody) that it may be presented in the near future. Yes,—yes, it may. YOUR UNCLE IKE. Mrs. S. J. Curry, matron at Western University, and her sister. Mrs. Anna Breece, who is visiting her from Zanesville, Ohio, were the dinner guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Kennedy, 834 Nebraska avenue.

THE GATES OF MEXICO HAVE SWUNG OPEN FREE TRANSPORTATION Colored Men to Colonize Mexico Lands With Colored People Five thousand acres have been bought and an option on 5,000 more on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the heart of a tropical garden of America, of what is destined to be the greatest agricultural and oil fields in the world. These lands will be divided into ten-acre tracts. The president of Mexico has signed a statement furnishing free passes to those going to make it their homes. This tract of land was purchased by the capitalist of Kansas City, Mo., several years ago. Many months were spent in selecting this tract, and the colored people are quite fortunate in getting this tract. Surveying and cutting of roads will begin very soon. This land will be sold at $15 per acre, including one town let in the colony, on very easy terms that will enable every man to buy him a home where he can raise two and three crops a year. One man will only be allowed to buy so much on account of the applications that are already sent in for ten and twenty-acre tracts. For full information write E. D. MONTGOMERY. 334 Reserve Bank Bldg.

Dean Vaughn of Western University, filled the pulpit and those who know this great theologian, bear us out in saying the congregation received a sermon of intelligence, logic and of high spiritual power. Dr. Vaughn is a scholar, philosopher and prepared theologian.

It is probable that he may be here this Sunday or later in the month. Rev. W. E.

What is the matter with letting the pastor go to conference with the slate clean on First church? Twenty-five cents per member will clean up everything. First church ever welcomes you to its pews.

The extreme heat was no bar to a large attendance. Sabbath school was alive in the teaching of lessons from the beautiful character of Esther. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached an able sermon from Luke 2:4:6. Subject, Remembrance. Christ warns his desciples about turning back, by using Lot's wife as an example. She did not get far from Sodom, she was destroyed. Christ did not go through a lengthy discourse. He just said, Remember Lot's wife. There are some things for our good that we should remember. We fail to heed the faithful instruction we received back home in our early life. We should remember. B. Y. P. U. was up to par. Group 2 led and Brother Mobiley gave splendid aid in twenty minutes instruction on the topic, "Love for God and Man." A program interspersed with musical numbers was rendered. Deacon Walker gave an interesting talk on his visit to St. Louis, and the splendid B. Y. P. Unions.of that city. At 8 p. m., the pastor brought a glorious message from First Epistle of John, first and second verses. Subject, Sonship or family matters. God is so holy that angels adore him and yet are only His creation. They are more perfect than we by creation, but God designs to bring us in closer relationship with him, but in order to sustain this relationship, we must be born again. It i spossible. We must be regenerated by the holy ghost. Then we are sons of God, a family. We must have some resemblance of our father, spiritual likeness. Love, obedience, humility and our affections on things above; hota no one. Love God supremely Sons of God will be devoted to their father's interests. Some are unconcerned about the church and its interest because they are not true Sons of God. Gods sons are being educated in the school of adversity now, but some day they will graduate, they will leave for home. Those who have preceded us are waiting our coming. Let us be zealous as sons—heirs of Jesus as to his interests. "For it doth not appear what we shall be but we know when he shall appear we shall be like him.

Sunday at 11 a. m., the Mission girls took the first collection, and after the invocation, the full choir sang "Follow Me,' very beautifully. Deacons Oliver, Ford, Jennings, Taylor, Hulsey, McCombs and Johnson were present. Deacon Johnson introduced Dr. Cartwright, of Atchison, Kansas, who preached from Ps. 8:4-8, "What is Man?" It was a psychological sermon. He told how man was a creature made by God, and was also a child of God. Said "God gave man a higher power than other things he created. He gave him intellect, sensibility, and will; i.e., a conscience to choose good from evil. He received many audible amens as many of the congregation praised God aloud. Deacon Oliver gave a fervent prayer and the choir sang "Jesus Paid It All." At 8 p. m. Dr. Cartwright preached to another large number from Luke 19-40. "If we hold our peace, the rocks will cry out." Subject, "God's eternal purpose is that His glory will be revealed." It was another good sermon. Deacon Jennings gave the invocation and the choir led the congregation in "I Need Thee." It was announced that Rev. A. Royston has been asked to preach several times at Lawrence, but has not yet been called there for good. As Assistant pastor at our church, none has excelled him in visiting the sick. So all true Christians wish him the best of luck wherever he is. Next Sunday, August 20, they say that Dr. Upshaw has said "he will be here sure to preach." They say "he did not get the other messages inviting him here to preach. Come to church next Sunday. Some great man will preachThey say it will be Dr. Upshaw. Come and worship God for yourself, not for the preacher nor for the large crowd. All are welcome to come and abide with us at our temple to worship. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, Division No. Eugene Easter, Plaintiff, vs. Rosa Easter, Defendant.

Of course he has been called everything but a child of God, but some day these same people will get around his open grave and praise God for his life. But now about the Independent, it is the only paper I know of in this country with a woman as business manager, and she is a business woman, and knows the newspaper game from A to Z, her name is Miss Ola Walker, a graduate of Haines Institute, and that means she was trained under Miss Lucy C. Lancy, and you know her if you know anything at all. Miss Walker has put pep and business into te Independent, until it is not living at this poor dying rate, but it pays all its expenses as it goes along and then is making dividends for the owner. I will take off my hat to this young newspaper woman of my race. Live on, Miss Walker, you will inspire others. But I cannot think of closing this letter until I can tell you about a trip down in the country to Codene, the country home of Mr. and Mus. Clarence Allen, which is about 32 miles from Mobile. It was 6 o'clock Thursday morning, when a Hudson sounded at my door, and I was up and ready, and was soon seated in it. I was right by the man at the wheel of that automobile car carriage, and remained right by his side until stopped in front of that palatial summer home way down yonder on the shores of the gulf. We got out, and were soon in the house, and I had off my coat and was looking around at the beautiful lawn, the chickens, ducks, gees, and everything else. The house was lighted by gas, they have sewerage of their own—in fact every comfort of a modern city home is right there. Mrs. Allen is a very queen in that home. I was glad that I had the pleasure of seeing it for myself. Mr. Allen is a successful planter in Mobile. When you are through with this earth and shake off all that is human, or leave the old body to decay and be fed to the worms that they may get fat, then it is that Mr. Allen will get you and plant you in the earth whether y/ grow or whether you come up again is no business of his. He will put you there, and will do it in the latest improved style, and will listen to the preacher say "Dust to dust and ashes to ashes." I will have to tel you about it again soon. 55th GRAND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF M.W.K.S.

Sally Just Naturally Hated to Return Without Something to Show for the Journey. A young couple in the mountains of Tennessee set out to get married. The young man put a lump of beeswax in the bottom of the buggy and with his prospective bride drove to the nearest magistrate, who was also a storekeeper. The young man told the squire that he wanted to get married, and also mentioned that he was short of funds. Would the magistrate credit him till more prosperous times? The hard-hearted magistrate refused. "Well," said the young man, "I got a ball of beeswax here, if you'll take that I'll turn it in on the cost." The squire agreed and took the beeswax into the store and welged it, returning with the disappointing news that it lacked a dollar and a half of being big enough to pay the fee. "Well, kain't yi' trust me for the rest?" persisted the young man. The magistrate shook his head with finality. "Kaln' do it." / Then Sally slipped into the breach. "Hit looks like you could do it this onct," she wheedled. "Ain't possible," was the firm rejoinder. "Well," said Sally, her face suddenly brightening. "howcome you kain't marry us as fur as the beeswax will go?"—Exchange. Knud Rasmussen and Fridtjof Nansen and also Hinrich Johannes Rink, who was sent north years ago by Lady Franklin to find her husband, have given to the world valuable facts about the customs and lives of the Eskimos, the Detroit News observes. Christian Leden's unique contribution from the arctic regions is in the field of music. For years he studied and faithfully transcribed the Innuit melodies. Each Eskimo, he says, is obliged to compose his own song, and no person may sing the song of another without first obtaining permission. The mother has her cradle song, infinitely low and sweet. The hunter has his song of the chase, clear and bold. Even the bad man of the tribe has his song, and it was quick and appropriately brazen. Harmony has not been developed among the Eskimos. They sing only in unison. But their melodies are welrd and wistful, often consisting of only two or three motives, which are strangely effective. It is during the long polar night that the Eskimo has time to rest in his igloo and sing his songs. Use Mesmerism in Breaking in Horses. The world's best horseback rider is said to be ex-Lieut. Pietro Hudenko, once of the imperial Russian hussars and now a walter at the Anglo-American club of Belgrade, Jugo-Slavia. He claims never to have failed to break and tame the wildest horse. He says he does not use strength and agility, but mesmerism. He takes a wild horse, sllps a halter on its head, passes a rope twice through its mouth, jumps on its back without a saddle, gets a knee grip and lets the horse'rear, buck or run at will. After the horse is tired he pcts it, whispers strange words into its ear, words known to a few Cossacks of the Caspian steppes, and then, never again, will that horse bite or kick or disobey a man. Pietro soon is to become trainer and horsebreaker for King Alexander. Zoologists, says a Buffalo paper, are trying to classify a peculiar form of animal life found by Edward Briggs in the Niagara river at Niagara Falls. The freak is 12 inches long. The forepart of the body resembles a lizard, while the hindpart looks like a fish. The creature is of a spotted brown color and has a smooth skin and no scales. It has four legs, the feet being formed like human hands, but with only four fingers. The ears have four lobes, with a tuft of hair on each lobe. The freak is alive.—Exchange.
