You would not be real sure 'nuf
human If yOu did not have a desire
to anaiyze me and know what I am
doing here in Savannah, the land Of
Williams Death Farm Fame" Since

Brave Men" The very fact that
they live in Georgia tells the world
that they are brave men, and as such
they are working out great prob
lem.
Reaching the city, got an auto
mobile car carriage drawn by horse.
and loaded myself and my trunks.
and had the man to tote me out to
the home Of Rev P. w Wreun, one
Of the leading preachers in the Bap-
fist church. and a fuIl-fedged mem
Der of the National Baptist eonven-
ton. He and his wife received me
with open arms and told me to be
at home At night went to the
opening and heard many addresses.
Here is where / had the pleasure
of meeting Brigadier General G. R.
Hutte, Of Bainbridge, who is the head
of the order in this state and a good
one at that. He Is an educated man.
and has been at the head of the pub
lie schools Of his city for long time,
and right by his side is another won
derfui character, DR.. G. NJ. Stoney.
of Augusta He Is indeed a remark
able man and a great physician. DR..
Stoney is regarded as a leader in
thought in this state and in this eoun-
try. He devotes much of his time
to the Court Of Calanthe.
It would take a whole paper for me
to tell you about the various men !
met here. But / cannot refrain from
saying that I met Mrs. Mary E.
Moore. Of Boston, Mass, the beauty
culturist, the manufacturer, the wom-
an who is interested in the develop
ment of womanhood, and who came
all the way from her home and bust
ness m Boston to be here at this
meeting. She has placed her articles
in the drug store here; in fact she Is
placing them IN our drug stores all
over the country, and at the same
time making agents / consider her
wonderful woman, and Is bringing
things to pass. We need such women
in this age.
Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, who is
at the head Of the calanthe in
Georgia is indeed a remarkable wom-
an. She does not hold a diploma
from any great university. but she
comes from the school of common
sense and practical experience. She
is a devoted Christian woman, and
Is a safe leader. Her life alone COM
mends her to the people. Her arm
IS ever outstretehed for those who
strive to do things, and those who
are making sentiment for, her people.
She is extending her hands to the
girls, and believe me, when I tell you
