LITTLE WILLIB'S LETTER.
The Grand Lodge, Knights Of
Pythias Of Virginia, had Il great SEES
sion in Danvillc last week, where
much business for the good OF the
Order was done. The report OF the
Grand Chancellor, Hon. John Mitchell
Jr. was one OF the best heard in years
and the endowment report was Of
much interest, showing that the dc
partmcnt had paid out in death
claims over s37,0O0.00 since tho
Staunton meeting. Yet some arc
kicking and they can't tell why. l
believe some folks would kick If they
We're playing football.
The knights of Pythias Of Virginia
arc climbing and with the continued
leadership Of the present Grand Chan
color they will go on and on re-
CARELESS Of the kickcrs in our own
ranks or the outsiders who are try
ing to get their hands in our pockets.
Let them keep 1t up. They will get
their hands in something but 1t won't
be Eirginia's pockets.
The Black Hand Is still at work
in Roanoke after Tin. Why not keep
out and let him have Il chance. You
can judge how hard they are after
Tiff, when one J. Sterling Will 80 to
the station to mail letter and be-
cause he sees Tiff's valet there mail
ing letters, he phones for some one
to come get his car. He Is gone,
then comes home and swears that
there had been Il Cloudburst and all
trains were twelve hours late. Now
YOU know "dat Amt right Don too
dis Same pusson makes as many trips
to n certain town west of the Magic
City as n policeman makes to call
box. Now dat Amt right but case
dis all don't Germ me bit, but TIL
lust keeps worrin Of me bout 1T, and

pathy, but ]. Sterling has de mostest.
Talk about some pleasant place TO

YOU will always find the best pictures

Well / should say. Plenty OF wall

It's a strange thing to mo that the
Negro papers in the North are forever
telling the Negro Of the South about
how he is being treated and how 1t
should be stopped and they can't
stop ding thing in their own sec
ton. I think II they would spend
little more time in advising the North
ern Negro and leave the Southern
Negro alone, they would help all
more.
Now, what. In the shadow Of the
Nations Capital, a race riot. Amt IT
hell-and the American Negro fresh
from No Mans Land Fighting for
democracy and for the acts Of one or
two bad Negroes every Negro caught
on the streets must suffer. 1t Is said
that in q charge made by the Negro
troops in France the Huns were put
to hight and on reporting, told their
commander that the Americans had
turned black in the face and all hell
couldn't stop them.
All hell should not stop us here at
home when such things as are being
put on us as are being put over on
our people at Washington. If Eu-
ropes pits Of infamy were enough to
call America over there to help
cleanse and make the world safe for
democracy, why not cleanse America
Mr. President and make America
safe for black citizens, who have
answered every call for American
freedom?
If Americas arm is long and
strong enough to help protect a PEG
pie not its own, it should be strong
enough to protect its own at home.
!
Yours truly,
LITTLE WILLIE.
