Miami, Fla.-with Williams out OF
the vay Cor the time being, ! feel as
happy as a Junebug, and in spite OF all
tha has been said or done, can feel
that there Is q better day ahead for
me and mine, and we win yet come
into our own. While 1 don't know
how many people have been put away
ON the death farm Of williams in Jas
per County, Georgia, and has made the
state famous, yet can see thousands
Of thrifty men and women Of my race
who have never seen that farm and
never win.
I am now in Miami, city where
Just yesterday, so to speak, man was
almost lynehed for driving an automo-
bile car earriage, belonging TO a white
man, and the crackers down in this
town swore by the eternal eandlestiek
that we should never be allowed to run
one down here, but one day the young
men Of my race got as full as the devil
and hell FIRE as a tick full Of human
blood. and for a few minutes there was
some real flying down here, and ever
since that time they have been running
cans.
sTen the angels to get down our
slippers and dust them Of, for We are
on our way to glory" was the message
TO heaven by the yOungmen, and when
they got through cracking heads down
here the men Of my race were told that
thew could run all the automobiles they
could get hold Of to run, and there
has been no more automobile trouble in
Miami. II took just little grit, that's
all.
Nv people are doing some wonderful
things down here, and am proud OF
them. think 1 have told you about
II. L. Jones, who is known TO all the
people from way up yOnder as "Par-
SON. Jones. He is a man Of wealth, a
man of industry "A man Of thrift, and
a man who is known by the great men
of America who has had as his guest
Andrew Carnegie and his family, and
other men Of wealth, but the latest was
President Warren G. Harding, Of the
United States. He came down here
when a young man, and purchased some
Of these little islands down here. he
elected to erect his mansion on Porgiee
Key, which is just about 80 miles from
this place.
Now what happened, on these rocky
lands, if you would call it land, or what
ever it Is, he is the king lime raiser,
then he has grape fruits, that win melt
in your mouth without sugar, tomatoes,
and on these he has accumulated his
wealth ana two soma. hns possession for
any human being. he viii measure
about six feet in his sox, as black as
the shoes he wears, but business man
Of the first water. He Is telling the
world what industry, honesty and
thrift viii do for any man, and the
soii viii never draw the color line.
Thanks be unto God for this.
There is another man, here in this
town and be is an inspiration to his
people, and this is D. A. Dorsey, real
estate, q man who is engaged in
rentals and mortgages, who win sell
Won a lot and build you a house on
terms, and then he has erected three
story hotel right in the heart Of the
town for us, costing when finished
about one hundred thousand dollars,
and believe me honey it is a dream.
The Dorsey Hotel, takes it place among
the best in this country, and ranks
with the big hotels down here in this
place, hence our tourise may come
down here and spend all the time they
want in real hotel owned and oper-
ated by our people, and have first
class accommodation.
Here I am down here in this part OF
the world, and I am here on invitation
of Rev. J. R. Evans, Pastor Of the Mt.
Zion Baptist Church, and a man with
