 You will please grant to me space in the columns of your paper to say few words in just praise. courteous treatment, pains taking, frequent indulgence and long forbearance of the conductors on the Owenton-E Ensley line of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company with their passengers.
 All say with respect to the motor1nen and conductors is unsolicited, but feeling that an unfavorable impression has been published recently with respect to lack of courteous treatment of the conductors, actuates me to speak in their defense. I live on the Owenton-Ensley line and some of the teachers of my school, pupils my wife and myself ride on this line daily for nine consecutive months, and have my first time to hear of single griev- ance
 Being a negro in public life where I come in contact daily with 1000 or more of my people I feel that I voice the senti- ment of my race when I say that more courteous, painstaking, patient, sympa- thetic and obiging set of hard working men are not to be found anywhere.
