about making him bishop. This win
take place in May in Philadelphia, and
he has won the place, by training and
by hard work. I enjoyed meeting the
men and women who were teachers
here. They are way up stairs, believe
me, honey. e.
There are three other schools in the
city, Atlanta University, Clark Uni
versity, Spealman Seminary for girls;
and now there is also Gallon Theo-
logical Seminary, where preachers are
trained to tote the word. Some strong
men have been turned out from this
school.
Up to Newman, Ga.,' was my next
stop, and I am glad that I had the
pleasure of going there. DR.. Nc
Whorter, met me at the stable in his
auto, and toted me to his house for
breakfast, and then to visit the schools.
MeClelland Academy impressed me
very much. 1t is a Presbyterian con-
nection school, but it is opened for all.
At the head of the school is Rev. F.
Gregg, A. NJ, a fine scholar and asso-
eiated with him are Rev. 8. J. Ellis,
Prof. F. D. Hooks, Mrs. L. A. Gregg,
Misses A. ]. Evans, N. W. Kelsey and
w. B. Sliger. They are doing good
work.
From Newman back to Atlanta, then
on to this place. L am here looking
at Prof. N. W. Collier and his great
work being done at the Florida Bap-
fist college. This young man is a mo-
del school man and he is making things
happen. He is one of the best young
men I have met in any school. He
stands for work, real work and plenty
of it.
L had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Sarah Blocker of the Academy. She
has devoted her life to this work, and
it is almost impossible to see anything
that looks like a black hair about her
head, and all have gone in the cause
of lifting up her people. She has won
her crown of glory, and am sure the
Lord will give it to her when she goes
to heaven. Such women should be free
from personal care. Hundreds of girls
have been helped by this wonderful
character. She is a woman of worth
and ability. I would mention Prof.
Grimes and others.
But it has not all been Sunday school
work with my getting around this time.
have been riding in first-class cars.
I have decided not to ride in Jim Crow
cars any more. I do not care what
the condition of it is, when L get in
it I make it frst-class, because 1 am
riding. I was in one of these specials.
A whole one, with a small smoking
room. There were only 6 of US folks,
and in the rear end was a long seat.
lit was long enough for me to stretch
out. so I took it. It was on the
Southern. Shortly after I was seated
a man came in and told me to sit up
higher.
I turned right red in the face at this
and asked him why.
He told me that we had plenty room
and some white gentlemen wanted to
sit back here. The devil jumped In
me as big as the engine which was to
pull that carriage, and I told him IN
plain English that they had no bust
ness in there, and was not going to
get arrested by riding with them. 1t
was strictly against the law of Georgia,
and was a law-abiding citizen of the
commonwealth of the world. He then
said the conductor wanted to sit there.
I told him the conductor had from that
iron horse back to the end of the car
and had only that one car, and would
not move for the conductor.
"I don't want to see you insulted, "
he added, "and this is what the con-
ductor will do"
"Then he will have to report to the
. authorities high up for doing so. am
some pumpkins myself, and important
at that. L want to have you get your
self right out of here, and if you dont
the angel will soon be acquainted with
: you white man, or them imps. L donH
know where you have made up your
: mind to spend eternity, but if you in
trude on us any longer you will have
to go whether you have made up your
mind or not" He got out in hurry
