them as friends, it makes YOU
feel you are some pumpkins, and
then it makes you feel Ike you want
to shout. am in that condition right
now, and I may explode before get
through with this letter.
Now You want to know what has hap
pened to me, and I win have to tell
you just few things I have expert.
eneed since I wrote to you last and
you win agree that I have a night to
shout and you may get the holy rock
yourself. I would like for you to Join
with me in this matter, for it is some
thing worth while. 1 think told-you
about being with Prof. Aaron E. and
Mrs. Annie N. Malone of st. Louis,
No., president and founder Of Poro
College, the only school Of its kind in
the United States. It is not a school
that depends on the public for eontri.
buttons, but it carries itself, has a
building costing over half million dol,
lars, and all paid for at cash. OF
course you may say that represents
business and you are right when you
come down to that. They have been
doing business, and then they have
been helpful to the race. I spent a
few days with them and in so doing !
am full of inspiration and joy.
Just think of it, headed by the Ma
ZONES who were assisted by some of
their friends, and captains and lieu
tenants from Quincy. $4,000 placed
on the table in cash and pledges in
four days, and it was done with ease.
Mrs. Mabel Breedlove was the fore
runner and she went there before the
Malones could get through, and as
sited in the organization. When the
election was over Mr.. and Mrs. Malone
went to Quincy, Ill, where they have a
summer home and where he at one
time served as principal of the public
school there.
The organization was ripe, and har-
vest ready. Work was started. Lunehes
were served each evening, md Friday
they had on hand, Charles Stewart,
from Chicago, and he made a speech;
Saturday evening they had Prof. Frank
L. Williams, principal of Sumner High
School, St. Louis, and he made a talk
to the people; Sunday they had DR.. j.
E. Mooreland, senior secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A, among our people. must
not forget to let you know that Prof.
Gerald Tyler director of the music for
Sumner High School, st. Louis, was
present Saturday night to give pep to
the cause.
All these people stop at the POro
cottage in st. Louis, and just think Of
1t. Mrs. Malone, one of the wealthiest
women of our country was the CHIEF
cook. and served the meals She en-
joyed it foo. Then 1 saw her with her
apron on sweeping the outside, taking
up the leaves, and just busy woman,
around home. This all added to the
pleasure and comfort Of the guests.
There was Just q family getting to-
gether, that's all
would like to have the time to tell
Won about the various speeches made,
and what they said, but that Is not
possible now. They al had in them
the doctrine of "self-Help," and this
is what is needed today. This race
must stand alone, and not sit down
broodinQ over slavery and depend on
others to do for Us what we should do
for ourselves, and we are no: going to
do it any more If we have been doing
such things in the past Full grown
men and women today.
Mrs. Breedlove represents the latter
part Of her name, hence ] am free TO
ten that she had much to do with the
sueeess Of that 10000 drive. She was
the forerunner, and she made home
run. by preparing the hearts Of the
peonle. and then followed Prof Aaron
E Malone. the leader. he was thsn as
I told YOU to get the election returns,
and at the samo time show the people
what they should do for themselves.
he was there, and then followed
Charles Stewart and I am told that
he, came along to be with the Others,
and I stepped IN to see it wen done
and be able to ten Jon about it.
Nav comes the rest, Prof. Williams,
the scholar, the grand maSser Of drives,
for he has fought in many battles, and
: sphtine in one now fer one hundred
Thousand dollars for an orphan home.
Mrs. Malone put her life into it, and
her money also, for the two MalOnes
nut IL over $500 and are wiling to
do more and win do more before it Is
over.
Sunday afternoon the big meeting
was held in the A. II. Z. Church, and
