J. O. TELLS OF RACE PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH
MINGLES WITH FARMERS, MINISTERS, EDUCATORS AND BUSINESS MEN OF SUGAR STATE
Southern University, Baton Rouge, La.—Here I am in the place from which I date this letter and if I were not here I would be at some other place, and perhaps it would or would not be like this, for I am mingling with farmers, college professors and president, with teachers, preachers, business men and women and here and there I touch a few what nots, and they all seemed glad to take a shake of my lily black hand and say be at home with us.
Of course I have been going some, for when I wrote to you the last time I was in Hot Springs, and believe me they tried to cheat the devil out of his holy water there, because there came along some snow and cold, and honey, it was some trying time there, but I got out, and I am still out, but put it down easy, for it is hard to tell just where I will be the next time, and I don't want to offend Mr. Devil, but he did not have fire enough to warm up Hot Springs and melt the snow, and honey there was some time there.
Mr. Falconer had to go away on business, and honey his automobile car carriage friz or something like that, and the same thing happened to all the other water. But when I was ready to leave early Monday morning, his wife had gotten up, made fire, cooked some biscuits and warmed up some chicken stew and dumplings that I should not leave her house hungry. Well, I got into Little Rock, and got on the street car jitney going to the Arkansas Baptist college, where I met Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the institution, and he told me he was delighted to have me come to his home and told me that I should be right at home with him. I had no objections to this. I was not there long before the Rev. Dr. V. M. Townsend of the African Methodist Episcopal church, came along and told me I had been invited out to Sweet Home to a chicken dinner, and he came with his flivver to tote me out.
The Sweet Home trip was made, and the chicken sent into my chicken eternity when I am sure it has enjoyed being. Next back to Little Rock, and the next morning started for another part of the world, riding on the Rock Island lines. When I stepped off in Alexandria, La., at night, going through some of the business part, and I mean business has picked up with the K. K. K.'s. I found the Rev. Dr. J. N. Campbell, president of Lampton college, his wife and son waiting to receive me. It was 12 o'clock when I got to town at night.
I was soon in a cozy room and in shut eye town until next morning. I visited Lampton college and made a few scattering remarks to the students and teachers. Rev. Campbell is doing a great work in town. He is a fine college president. At 11 o'clock I was on the Rock Island again, headed for this place. Changed at Eunice to the Gulf Coast Lines, and at Baton Rouge, I found Dr. J. S. Clark's automobile car carriage awaiting my arrival to tote me out here which is five miles from town. Mrs. W. D. Thomas was there to escort me out and you will see I was honored.
Perhaps you do not know Mrs. Thomas, she is the wife of Dr. W. D. Thomas, dean of Southern University, and a great man—he is just one of the finest school men in this country, and while he has graduated from the medicine, and is a first-class doctor, yet the Lord intended that his knowledge should be used as a distributing station issuing it out to others. He is from Georgia, but taught in Kentucky, and while in that part

MRS. ELLEN NEWMAN JOINS
HER HUSBAND AFTER
A SHORT MONTH OF HIS PASS-
Mrs. Ellen Newman, a widow of only four weeks, 1926 North Sixth street, passed away last Saturday morning at 8:20, her husband, Harrison Newman, passing away January 14. While the husband was only sick a few days, Mrs. Newman had been sick for many months and one would of thought she would have gone first. They were greatly devoted to each other and the strain of separation probably had much to do with the close following of his wife. Mrs. Newman in all her suffering from the nature of the disease, was cheerful and patient to the last. Her friends were by the hundreds and her words were words of kindness to everybody. She was a fine speciman of christian womanhood and was much devoted to her church and its spiritual development and could, be seen regularly in her pew long as she was able to attend. She leaves a lovely daughter, the only child, Mrs. Maggie Smith, whose home is in Omaha, Nebraska, but has been with her mother ever since her father died and give her every attention until her death. The deceased has one sister, Mrs. Mary Norman, living in Kansas City, Mo.
The funeral was held Tuesday at 2 o'clock p. m., from the first A. M. E. church of which she had long been a consistant member. Rev. J. R. Ransom, who was raised up with them in Tennessee officiated, assisted by Rev. J. F. Griffin. Queen Esther Court No. 43, of which she was a member turned out in a body. The condolences were beautiful, also many floral offerings. The daughter and relatives have the earnest and sincere sympathy in their hours of sorrow of a host of friends.
Miss Marion Battles, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Battles, 416 Nebraska avenue, is still confined to the house, who some weeks ago lost her balance and fell down a concrete steps. Miss Battles' friends hope she may soon fully recover.
Little Grace Prince; 419 Everett avenue, was out of school several days on the account of illness.

We must write books and history of our own," said Professor Hodge.
Music, 'Rays of Gold," T. E. I. Orchestra.
Address, "Lincoln," Hon. C. A. Franklin, Kansas City, Mo. The speaker had a fine subject, a wide world one and he put his whole soul in it and while this great subject has been time and again separated from center to circumference, turned inside out, from the lips of multiplied thousands of the world's great men and women, Mr. Franklin dug up new events in the life of this great character.
At this period the committee on nomination of officers and committee on resolutions were announced, who retired. While the committees were getting their reports ready by special invitation, the Santa Fe double quartette, rendered two selections, which were rich and greatly enjoyed by the audience.

NATIONAL GRAND MASTER, REV.
'A. R. ROBINSON, OF THE F.
AND A. A. YORK MASONS
DIES IN PHILADELPHIA.
The sad intelligence of the death of Rev. A. R. Robinson, National Grand Master of the F. and A. A. York Masons, was a great shock, as well as a great loss to the craft throughout the Supreme Jurisdiction of York Masonry. It only goes to show that God has no respective of persons in His earthly family. Dr. Robinson, who had been sick for some time, died at his home, 1639 Christian street, Philadelphia, Pa. He was a noted minister of the Baptist denomination of his city and the East and had a large following, as a preacher and a leader of his race. The craft in the West will miss him, probably in a greater degree, aside from his home city, more than any other one part of the jurisdiction, as the National Grand Session for 1924, is to be held in this city of which he was largely instrumental in having it to convene here. The funeral was held last Wednesday from the church of which he had pastored so long, in portraying the truths of Christ and the redemption of mankind. The funeral was largely attended by ministers, friends and National Grand officers of Masons.
Dr. Robinson succeeded the late Bishop J. W. Alstock, as National Grand Master in 1920 and was reelected at the last session, in 1921, at Orangeburg, S. C.
Prof. S. S. Simmons of Lithia Springs, Ga., formerly National Deputy Grand Master, will succeed the office of the deceased, until the next National Grand Session.
Rev. J. A. Broadnax, of this city and Grand Master of Kansas and jurisdiction, states that an announcement will be made soon to a date for a memorial service in respect to the craft's sleeping leader.
GRAND MASTER BROADNAX TO VISIT LODGES.
Grand Master Rev. J. A. Broadnax of Kansas and Jurisdiction, F. and A. A. York Masons, is making his annual visit to the subordinate lodges throughout the jurisdiction. He reports the lodges are all working in splendid style and were in a healthy financial condition with a substantial increase in membership. He leaves February 19 for Denver, Colo., where he will visit the lodges there and also at Casper, Wyo., Boulder and Eaton, Colo., before returning home.
OFFICER HARDY DIES AFTER MANY MONTHS OF ILLNESS.
John Wesly Hardy, one of the city's efficient patrolmen, after many months of illness, passed away Tuesday morning at 7:25 o'clock at his home, 826 Freeman avenue. Mr. Hardy was a great sufferer during the greater part of his sickness, but complained but little all through it. He was a splendid citizen and had many friends among his co-workers and the city at large. Everything was done known to medical skill to relieve him from his sickness, but it proved of no avail. His loving wife, Mrs. Lizzie Hardy, ever was found by her husband's bedside giving him every aid and comfort she possibly could, until the death angel came Tuesday morning.
The deceased has no relatives here aside from his wife. The funeral will be held this afternoon (Friday) at 2 o'clock from the First A. M. E. church, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating, assisted by Revs. W. A. Bowren and J. S. Payne.
The wife has the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends in her hour of sorrow and bereavement.

FOUNDERS' DAY AT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
FOUNDERS' DAY AT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF NOTED SCHOOL. NEW SHORTER HALL TO BE A RACE MONUMENT
February 14, 1923. Dear Editor Kennedy: Founders' Day bringing anew to the mind all the glorious history, inspiring traditions and great achievements of Wilberforce University, will be celebrated at that institution on the Twenty-fourth of February. More than at any time in all history, Wilberforce University needs your help this year. But a little more than a year ago, the disastrous fire which destroyed Shorter Hall, had left us stunned and stricken, but not dismayed. Even before the smoke had lifted or the charred embers had ceased to glow, all—officials, teachers, students, alumni and friends—went to work to help repair the loss, and so vigorously have the forces pushed forward that in the building program more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars have been raised and expended on that vast work.
But the work is not complete and, what with the building needs, and the regular current expenses, the demands are more pressing than ever in our history. This year marks the Sixtieth Anniversary of Wilberforce under the present auspices. Why not help the Old School this time in a befitting manner? The teachers have already given largely, but are willing to give again; the students have sacrificed nobly but are willing to make greater sacrifices than ever. The roof has been laid over, the whole main portion of the new James A. Shorter Hall and on the last day of January those mammoth steel girders that are to uphold the roof of the great auditorium, were set in place so that within the next few days the whole structure will be under roof and safe from the ravages of bad weather.
In the face of these glorious achievements, can you withhold support to this noble cause? If a friend, why not double the largest contribution you have ever made, or if you have made none thus far, why not make one worthy of the endeavor? If an Alumnus or Former Student, why not give from one to five dollars for every year since you left Wilberforce? If at all in sympathy with a worthy undertaking, why not make the largest offering your means will allow? Let us hear from you at once that we may tabulate your gift and make note of the same on Founders' Day. Professors C. S. Smith and R. N. Pyrtle have charge of the drive. Send contributions to either of these two leaders, to Secretary C. C. Jenkins or the President. Yours for a big Founders' Day Rally.
J. A. GREGG,
President.
would not allow any more visitors admitted to the sick room. But through the careful nursing and the watchful care of his physician, he is now on the road to recovery. The Metropolitan Baptist Temple and Walnut Blvd. Baptist churches held special prayer services for his speedy recovery. He wishes to express his thanks and appreciation for the prayers of these and all other christian friends, in churches and lodges, Hermonia Court, House Hold of Ruth 5818, Sheba Chapter, 18, Dr. Anthony and thanks the many lodges and friends that called of inquiry. Dr. Anthony says his friends are now at liberty to call and see him. Mrs. Thatcher wishes to extend her thanks for assistance offered and the many beautiful flowers sent to cheer her husband during the anxious hours of waiting.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
By M. C. MATTHEWS, for February, 1923
I speak of Abraham Lincoln,
Born in a cabin, you see;
When President, lifted the shackles
And set the colored race free.
And he preserved this great Union
And with his banner unfurled,
Made the U. S. be the greatest
Democracy in the whole world.
Congress should make his day legal
Holiday from seeking wealth;
So all will honor his birthday,
On February, the twelfth.
Let's honor him for his kindness,
With praise from shore unto shore;
And cheer our Emancipator,
CITIZENS' FORUM.
The Citizens' Forum rendered one of the best programs of the season at Metropolitan Temple, Sunday, February 11th. President Towers led the assembly in the greatest of all prayers, the Lord's Prayer. Miss Turner read a good journal of the preceding meeting, and the president turned the meeting over to Mrs. Childs and Mrs. L. T. Green, sponsors for the program. Among the many current events given, some one stated, "the white Ministers Alliance of Kansas City, Kansas, did not call the colored ministers to meet with them. The writer does know that Dr. Ream, when here, had an organization of colored and white, "for city betterment," to meet at his church.
Then many good quotations were given, and ex-President Davis gave one of his original ones and was followed closely by an original one on sincerity by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, who wrote the prize song-poem of the State Federation of Clubs, and the poet and poetess vied with each other in applause.
Miss Maud Trammel played one of her classic solos, and Mr. T. Davis in the absence of the speaker, gave a good address on Brotherhood.
Miss Gladys Cannon and Mr. Cicero Jackson sang a classic duet, accompanied by Mrs. Childs, and were encored.
Mrs. Brown rendered an instrumental solo and was encored.
Mr. Junius Gray commented on the poet and poetess, and said "he wondered if our race realizes the greatness of their talent?"
After the collection Miss Dwiggins read a favorable criticism, and a fine program for next Sunday, February 18, was announced, with Prof. S. Scruggs as sponsor.
All thanks to the ladies for their fine program. Come to the Forum at Metropolitan Temple where you can hear the best music, civic topics discussed and learn something. The large audience which was present went away more than satisfied. Forum is 4:00 p. m., February 18.
Funeral
The funeral of the sweet little angel, Vernice Camiel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Harpole, was held Saturday, February 10, from their residence, 1105 Garfield avenue, on the Missouri side. Rev. J. F. Griffin of First A. M. E. church officiated. Little Vernice reposed in a lovely little white couch with white roses and carnations strewn around it, she seemed just to be taking an afternoon's sleep. She was 11 months old and a few days, at the time of her death.

CHURCH NEWS
Sunday morning was chilly, breezy one, but a fine congregation faced the weather for the house of worship. Rev. J. F. Griffin, First church's gospel preacher filled his pulpit after being absent one Sunday and delivered as usual, a strong sermon, whose appeal for real Christian men and women caused many to stand before the mirror of their soul and close up to it, at that. It was strong meat for professed Christians and sick souls out of Christ.
At the evening service the pastor give a bible talk, which was very helpful to his hearers on strong christian living.
The church started this week on a campaign which will be continued for one month, with a consecrated effort to bring souls unto the saving knowledge of Christ, some three hundred of the membership of the church will devote this period in visiting homes in the city trying, in God's name to make each home a house of prayer.
The teachers of the Sabbath school tendered its pupils on Tuesday evening a reception, with candy, pop corn and prizes to many. It was an enjoyable affair and shows the superintendent and teachers are abreast of the times of demonstrating to the children they love them and are interested in what they would have them to be.
The Junior Missionary girls gave a wide-awake entertainment Thursday evening which proved to be a fine success. Encourage the children, for it will not be but just a few days, when they will have to take the places in the church, that the most of us now occupy.
Dr. Griffin is feeling much better since taking his short vacation and will be found in his pulpit Sunday, delivering a strong sermon to his large audience. Come out early for good seats. Visitors and strangers always have a warm welcome at First church.

It was a scholarly and logical discourse and was very helpful to his appreciative audience. The pastor filled his pulpit at the evening service, taking his text from St. John, 13th chapter and 9th verse, subject, "Humanity."

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE
METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES
Sunday, February 11, we had the heaviest carpet of snow we've had yet this winter, but legions wended their way to church to worship.
Mrs. I. Wood, our organist, played the Voluntary, "Nobody Knows," with such pathos that it stirred the hearts of the assembly, and the pastor asked for its repetition. Then came a saxaphone and piano duet by Charles and Ronald Washington. 'Twas beautiful, and if it had not been church service they would have been encored. The pastor told them to come and play again next Sunday.
Pastor Bronson took as his text: "He that stealeth a man, and selleth him, shall surely be put to death."—Ex. 21:16. He told of the Portuguese taking men from West Africa to the West Indies, illustrated by telling of Joseph being sold by his brethren, and after all, being raised up higher than his brothers. Also told of England trafficking in slavery and at last told of the Dutch bringing Africans to Jamestown, Va., and enslaving them. Eventually said the colored race will come into its own by thrift, prayer and implicit faith in God. He enologized our Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, as the saviour of this (our) country. The publicity committee had placed Lincoln's picture, draped with the national colors, near the main entrance, and it was admired by the large crowds. Many shouted as Pastor Bronson concluded his sermon admonishing our race to co-operate and with faith in God overcome our enemies. Several joined church when the invitation was extended.
Next Sunday, February 18, the "Twin Quartet" will sing, and our organist will play one of the city schools Memory Contest pieces.
At 8:00 p. m. the pastor changed his subject to "Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child." He believes as the Bible says, "train up the child in the way it should go, and when it gets old it will not depart from it."
The choir sang, "Ring it Out," very beautifully.
Come this Friday to dinner at the church. Also come Friday, February 16, to the musical and literary program by the Newcomers' Club, and hear Mr. Fitzhugh, Mme Guest, Mme Moore and Miss K. Payne sing, and hear Mme Matthews' poem on February. Come to Metropolitan for music, history, matinees, moving pictures and last and best of all, come and join and get spiritual strength to keep you on the road to Heaven.

The drop in temperature which brought the coldest Sabbath thus far of this winter did not keep a splendid crowd of worshipers from our services. The Sabbath school was fine for the severe weather, 11:00 a. m. the pastor preached a wonderful sermon from Revelation 19:12, "On his head were many crowns." Subject: The incorruptable Crown. The 22 chapter of the book of Revelation is like so many apartments in some gorgeous mansion with every room beautiful beyond description. To read this book is to pass from room to room, from glory to glory and as one passes into the nineteenth roo mhe needs.must remove his shoes for he is on holy ground. He beholds a vision of the Christ whose vesture is dipped in blood, His eyes are as flames of fire and on His head are many crowns. The poet seems to have caught inspiration from this scene and wrote "Crown Him With Many Crowns."
The Lamb upon His throne,
Hark how the heavenly anthem
drowns
All music but its own.
The word crown is used frequently
in the Scriptures, broadly speaking

Don't Fail to Read This
THE WYANDOTTE ASPHALT AND ROAD OIL COMPANY (Under a Declaration of Trust)
This company is now building and equiping a twenty thousand dollar separating plant or refinery in Kansas City, Kansas, to refine and distill heavy crude oil of a low gravity into high grade asphalt, road oil and fuel oil:
What Crude Oil Will Cost Us
There are millions of barrels of this low gravity crude oil in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma; Arkansas and Wyoming that can be run in the pipe line of the large companies and which can not be refined in their refineries; hence there never was, nor is there now a market for it. We have been offered by one concern 10,000 barrels of this oil per day for 40 cents per barrel, and some as low as 10 cents per barrel
A Process Worth Millions
We are the owners of a new and unused process by which this oil can be made into high grade asphalt, road oil and fuel oil and which process is protected from infringement and which has been proven to run the oil absolutely successful. We will show it to you and will also show you that Five Hundred barrels of this oil can be run one day in our plant.
$500 for $100 Invested
By this process we can show you that one barrel of this crude oil can be separated into asphalt, road oil and fuel oil so as to make a net profit of more than $2.00 per barrel.
A fifty barrel retort or still should separate four hundred barrels of this oil in twenty-four hours.
Four hundred barrels at $2.00 net per barrel is $800 per day or $24,000 per month or $288,000 per year which is more than 1500% on the original investment in one year.
At the above rate $100 invested in this company should yield you from $800 to $1200 per year. The possibilities are unlimited. Capacity can be doubled with a very small expense.
Every dollar invested in this company is guaranteed against loss.
THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL LAST LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS.
Colored people have never had this opportunity before. The big profit of the oil business is in the finished products. We sold more than $6,000 in shares the first week. The plant should be running by April 1, 1923.

the word in the Scriptures has two meanings:
The insignia of authority and the token of victory. The reference in this text is to a kingly crown. But for a larger part the crown in the Holy Scriptures is the garland woven from some growth of the field and bestowed as a victor's prize in an athletic contest. This is said as one goes thru the tower of London the guide or attendant will point out the crowns of royalty laden with precious gems. In the Scriptures there are several kinds of crowns on exhibition. All are interesting, but all are not of equal value. There is the corruptible crown, crowns that fade and die such as was worn by those who won in the Olympic games. Isaiah speaks of the crown of pride, the crown of conquest. The so-called prizes of life, which are right enough in themselves, when made the chief goals of life only disappoint and in the end bring ashes instead of beauty. The crown of pleasure as the acme of life is sure to decay. Place, power, wealth, all the prizes the world holds dear will perish in pride and pain. Then there is the soul winners crown, Phillipines 4:1. Only those who possess this crown can estimate its worth. Oh, church; let us seek this crown and turn from perishable crowns.
There is also a crown of thorns. Jesus wore this crown. It was put on him by his enemies. He did not take it off. Absolutely none escape this crown. Popularity cannot insure you from it. Probably it will increase the certainty of it. Our presidents usually have the best wishes of all political parties at the beginning of their administration, but wait a year or so then the crown of thorns. You who read last Thursday morning Times noted the reference to President Harding's physical condition owing to the strain he is compelled to labor under, censure, etc. They cannot escape it.
The all-important thing is: Let the crown of thorns come in the discharge of duty, in fidelity and truth. Yet another crown, the crown of approval, sometimes called the crown of glory, life, righteousness, etc. Christ bestows it. It is incorruptible. Let us

‘THE 1921-22 NEGRO YEAR BOOK
NOW ON SALE
The 1921-1922 NEGRO YEAR BOOK, is now ready for dis-
tribution. In this sixth annual edition not only has much new
material been added, but the information contained in previous
volumes has been revised, re-written and brought down to date.
Over one hundred pages are devoted to a review of the events
of 1919-1921 as they affect the interests and show the progress
which, in the Reconstruction Period since the close of the World
War, the Negro is making. *
The Negro Year Book is the standard work of reference on
all matters relating to the Negro and is the most extensively
used compendium of information on this subject. It circulates
widely in every part of the United States and to a considerable
extent in Canada, the West Indies, Central America, South
America, Europe,-Asia and Africa.
The success of previous years has demonstrated that there
is a need for a book which provides in an inexpensive form a
succinct, comprehensive and impartial review of the events
which affect the interests and indicate the progress Negroes are
making» The Negro Year Book meets this need and at the
same time furnishes a compact but comprehensive statement of
Historical and Statistical facts arranged for ready reference.
It is at once a permanent record of current events, an encyclo-
paedia of Historical and Sociological facts, a directory of per-
sons, and a bibliographical guide to the literature of the sub-
jects discussed.
The Negro Year Book has the most extended and compre-
hensive bibliography which has been put out on the Negro in
the United States. In addition to the topically seanges biblio-
graphies at the end of the book, the reader will find throughout
the volume, in connection with special epics, further references
to the subjects discussed. This is helpful to the student who
ete to pursue further the investigation of any particular
subject.
The 1921-1922 Negro Year Book, in addition to its interest
for the general reader, is even more than the previous volumes
especially adapted for use in schools where Historical and Socio-
logical courses on the Negro are given.
The price of the Negro Year Book, post paid, is: paper
cover, 50c; board cover, $1.00. Special rates to agents.

and head, and perhaps the teet a
Miss Edwina Kennedy, a graduate
from Simmons University, Louis-
ville, and the daughter of Rev..Dr. P.
H. Kennedy, who died a few years
ago in Henderson, Ky. She is a schol-
ar and he is a scholar, and the two
scholars are working together for
our people, There are four laa
One is teaching in the high school,
New Orleans, another is to finish
from Atlanta, University, the other
is in Southern, and now these are all
girls, and the baby who is in high
school, is a boy.
“J come to make you not only wel-
come to the school,” said Mrs. Thom-
as as she greeted me,” but to make
you welcome to our home and you are
to be our guest during your stay, and
before you go out I want to know
what you would like to eat. We have
the chickens already in the coop, and
I want to get some oysters, some fish
and anything else you desire. Dr.
"Thomas and our son:and daughter
who are at home join in this wel-
come.” ‘
That old automobile car carriage
soon had us in front, of the Thomas:
cottage, and-I was cordially received,
and my room assigned me. I am just
in glory here. Dinner was soon served
and I ‘got on the outside of some fish
and bread, and soon Dr. J. S. Clark,
the president of Southern University,
came to call on me, and to assure me
that I was welcome to the great state
institution, I am suré you know Dr.
J. S. Clark, for he is a ranking edu-
cator and in the front rank at that.
I looked around the school and soon
I was shaking hands with Mrs, MB.
Baranco, who is in charge of the
eating department of the school. I
hope you remember her, because when
I was down here one time, sick, I was
assigned to the hospital, and she was
in charge, and believe men when I
‘tell you she is one of the finest and
‘best nurses in America, saying noth-
ing about race or color. She is.right
by the side of any doctor. She is
from way up .beyond in Ohio, now
where she can render a great service
to her people. She is an expert in any
place you put fer. A few years ago
‘she accepted the heart and hand of
H. R. Baranco, and she has all but
reconstructed him. He is like an-
other man. Such is the result,of get-
ting a real woman, a woman.of, abjl-
ity. * 6
Now, there were many people here,
because they are having a meeting of
farmers. The 8th annual meeting,
and I was on time—in fact I was just!
a day ahead of time. All was well, and
so was I if you put it down I. told
you so. Southern University has
been put on the map by President
Clark. You see for along time it was.
in the city of New Orleans with a
white man as president, but now it is
out here in this country, and Dr.
Clark is the first president of my
race it has ever had. All the teachers
belong to us. It is more useful now
than ever before.
I wish you could have been here to
have seen ‘the industrial progressive
parade. It showed progress. There
were floats, and all the departments
were represented. The old time
schools, and the up-to-date school
were on hand, and the teachers and
about 500 students in line. It was a
wonderful display, and I am proud
that I was here. God be thanked.
After the parade there was lunch
served and this brought me to the
home of President Clark and I met
the queen of his home, Mrs. J. S.
Clark. She is another bright star in
the whole racé. She is cultured, ed-
ucated, and the wife of her husband
and a factor in Southern University|
life. Side by side she has worked
with here husband for years, helping
to make him what he is today. She
therefore is a great woman. I'am|
going into the departments of ‘the
school in another letter and this Will
allow you to touch Mrs. Maybefry,
another wonderful character. Wait
until I reach that.
Lhad the pleasure of hearing an ad-
dress from the State Superintendent
of Education, T. H. Harris, and he
made a clean cut, common sensé ad-|
pe ne er eee na mr
people for their. stand for law and
order, and that they were not rebel-
ling against constituted authority.
While white men are breaking the law
while they are killing each other, the
Negro is going right on serving God
and saying to Him, “We leave it all
in Thy hands.” Right and justice will
get a hearing after while. I am not
cussing, but praying these days, and
living right close to the throne. Go
thou and get on thy knees with me. I
believe in God . I am His and He
will protect me after while. %
I have been with Rev. H. H. Dum,
the Rev. Dr. Phillips, two great news-
paper writers; then I have had the
pleasure of hearing Prof. Carver talk
about cabbage. I don’t see to save my
life how in the hen feathers, a man
can learn so much about cabbage,
where it gets its life and growth and
everything else. He is in touch with
God. I have just met so many peo-
‘ple here until I just don’t know them.
I will Just have to bring this letter
to a stop. Get ready for May 2, when
we will attend the National Race
Congress in Washington, D. C. I will
tell you about other meetings from
time to time. =
Take good care of yourself and
serve God,
