Beaumont, Texas.-I am of the opin

When you think you have me in one
place, and you lift your hand the
magic wand has placed me in another
Mace perhaps a thousand miles away
and thus it goes. For instance when
l wrote the last letter, was in Nor
NAL, Ala.
You recall l was there looking al
them young people get some education
and they got it believe me. Then
left there and went to Nashville, for a
day, and that day was moving day for
me, because l vent to many places and
saw many people there. 1 had been
hearing them talk about a new pub
blishing board for the Baptists, SO
| thought l would go and see it. ]
went there and the first thing 1 met
was Prof. S. P. Harris, the new sec.
rotary. He is some educated man, and
an educated lawyer. For long time
he was bookkeeper to the National
Baptist Publishing Board, and re,
signed to go into the school business
dean of Roger Williams University
and when he had finished there, or
in other words he was called from
there to take charge of the publishing
interest and this he has been doing
making good record for himself and
his church. He has placed them on
the map. He shook my lily black
hand and was as polite as a basket
of chips. God bless him. I had the
pleasure of visiting the Nashville
Globe; called on Mrs. Evans Tyree
the wife of the bishop, then went to
see Rev. and Mrs. ]. D. Chavis, OF
Walden University, remained there
waiting for doctor who said that he
was going to come and take me out

o'clock at night believing that he was
going to come because he told me so
and that doctor was off some where
either looking after the sick or laugh
ing about how he had fooled me, for
1 was a real fool for thinking that
he was going to come. 1 will meet
DR.. Leach at some other point.
left for Birmingham about 2:S0 in
the morning, and reached there in
time for breakfast. l had breakfast
with DR.. U. G. Mason, and it was some
breakfast believe me honey. l went
out to the hospital to see DR.. Moore's
wife. She had been cut on, but was
getting better. They tell me that DR.
Mason is some cutter on the human
body. He can take it all to pieces and
put it back again, just like DR.. G. c
Hall, of Chicago, or some of them
other big men there He can do his
part of it.
Getting through with DR.. Mason, ]
called on several others and got my
self together and left for Bessemer
where | had been invited to spend a
day or so with DR.. E. ]. Gregg, and /
tell You he is another one of them
big doctor men. That man told me
more about my body than l knew my.
self. or perhaps will ever know. ]
don't see how he knew so much about
ME, hut he did He took me right into
his house. put me in his bed, and
told me to be right at home. His sis
Ter. Mrs. Fannie Dennie was some en-. |
tertainer, and 1 just listened to her
talk. Of course she did not know |
much about farming and when 1 got |

glance that 1 was out of her reach.

not words sounds, for 1 said to her in
Speaking of my impression of Bes

then out of her reach.
l spent a nice time in Bessemer
and Sunday night went to Birming
nam, as l was to leave there the next
morning for Montgomery to attend the
session of the grand lodge of Rising
sons and Daughters of Protection, pre-
sided over by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle,

her.
went to her home, and on my way
stopped by Mrs. Fannie NJ. Cosby,
