on and went to the city where / re-
manned over night, but the next day
found me moving another way. Bright
and early l got up and beat it for At
lantic City and believe me they have
some people there who know how to
charge without rendering the service.
The first thing to attract my attention
was that is was decreed that Joseph
L. Jones, high Pythian, at the head
Of the Calanthe must die, because he
did not agree with Smith W. Green,
the supreme chancellor. When / asked
one or two men about it, they said
that it was true, and that they could
not do anything. DR.. C. NJ. Wade, said
that it was an order from the
administration, and he did not want to
dig his own grave, hence he could not
do anything for General Jones. / got
the same thing from DR.. Mason, then
from others, whose names do not re-
call.
at was the administration against
Jones" and do not know whether or
not the Supreme Chancellor has de-
creed what those who did not vote
against Jones should do but seem to be
understood. The result was the same.
That was all you could hear on the
street and we are going to get him.
Roscoe Conklin Simmons, said 81 re-
greet it very much, but Joe has dug
his grave by disagreeing with the
Supreme Chancellor, and he must be
buried in it." / have been told that
there were other reasons. The time
came, the administration beat General
Jones by six votes, and then DR..
Stoney from Georgia, who was not
present when the votes were taken
lost his position, because they declared
that he went out to duck the vote. /
don't know what you mean by that,
but / do know that he was defeated.
had the pleasure of meeting one Of
the best all around speakers in the
Supreme Lodge, Hon. Chss. N. Cott-
rill, Real Estate-Collections-No-
tary Public, Toledo, Ohio" He is
man every inch a man. / shall never
forget him and his kindness. He was
Just a kind man, and he made some
speech.
We shall watch the future. / wish
you could have seen that parade. The
people all declare that it was the
finest parade ever held in Atlantic
City. They were there from every
where, and those folks did put on some
stunt, believe me. General Robert R.
Jackson covered himself with glory.
He was not the same Jackson he used
to be. he is getting away out Of my
reatn. Such is life.
1 said a few minutes ago that the
people know how to charge and they
do. 1 paid one dollar and fifty cents
for sleeping, and my bed mate was
Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, and got only
one clean towel after / used the one
which was in the room. Wonderful
prices. ] saw that there was nothing
else to do but pay it, and got some
laundry work done, and must have it
done over again before / could use it
Have you ever met Mrs. Carrie A.
Tuggle? She is one Of the most re-
markable women of the age, and / am
proud to know her. Right by her side
is Mrs. Fannie NJ. Cosby-Blevins. She
is some woman. Mrs. Tuggle has so
lived as to have the esteem and res
pect of all the women. The call her
the supreme court Of Calanthe ma
Tuggle." What she says is to be done
or they will die trying to do it. 1t is
great to so live in the hearts Of peo-
pie. She is a woman who believes in
doing things, and her work in Ala
bama will testify to this. Go bless her
and her work. l think 1 have said
enough for this time. l am now
headed for New York, and will have
something to tell you about New York
in a few days. Look out for all my
letters. You can't afford to miss any
of them these days.
