United States. When I listened to him,
I said "Wi1lis is elected right now,
and no sooner" Then Rev. McPher-
son, placed his candidates, and another
one his, and on they went until lawyer
Wells of Dallas, named Editor King.
His nominating speech just killed his
client, as result King only got %
votes. Willis came within votes of
election on the first ballot followed by
Simpson. King withdrew in favor of
Simpson, but that speech still lingering
on the ears of the men, as soon as
Frierson withdrew in favor of Willis, it
was then that the question was decided
and Willis was elected. Men picked
him up and toted him all around on
their shoulders. Knowing him to be
an educated man, I said to him:
"Dumpterum, intlectum sinceritum
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. I wish you
could have seen him look at me and I
don't blame him.
Hon. s. W. Green, Supreme Chancel-
lor, of the Supreme Lodge of Knights
of Pythias, came up from New Orleans
to be at the meeting and to see what
was going on. Have you ever seen
himi He is one small man, and am
told that he is all brains. He is a
scholar and the leader of men. He is
highly respected by the men of Texas.
He lives in their hearts. He is as
friendly as a man can be and as deep
as the ocean itself. He runs along
smoothly and justly. 1t was to me a
source of pleasure to see these great
men and to talk with them.
Prof. NJ M. Rodgers was here, and
he is still the Grand Keeper of Rec
ords and seal which means that he is
a secretary. I believe that he was
just born to be secretary. He is one
good one admired all met, and must
now turn my attention to some of the
other things.
1 have been from Georgia to Texas,
and from Texas to Louisiana and back
into Texas since wrote you this letter,
and my mail is now going to 1922
Aberdeen street, Chicago, for I will be
there next week, or by the time you
get through reading this letter, but
will stop over in Kansas to see about
my food stuff.
While in Atlanta, I had the pleasure
of meeting one of the greatest physi-
clans of our race, DR.. G. r. Dwellie.
Now she is real woman, but believe
me honey she knows her business when
it comes to being a doctor. She can
just cut you in pieces and then put
you together again. am delighted to
know such woman. I had just gotten
over seeing her when I went to Shreve-
port and met another one, DR.. s. s.
Turner, who runs an infrmary and
other things. She is one busy woman
with her trained nurses and her knives
of all kind to cut you up.
Where are we going to endi I am
not prepared to say to you these things.
Time will not permit me to have more
to say.
Yes, must say word or two about
Texarkana, for it was there where I
had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. s. A.
Marthes, and her children. She has a
daughter in Provident hospital in Chi
cago getting ready to become a trained
nurse. She graduated from the Ark
ansas Baptist college, and from there
went right to Chicago to continue her
work.
Mrs. Duckie Kennedy is one more
busy child. Now then there was Rev.
]. NJ. Harris, and his people. I think
I shall come to stop with this letter.
