Honey, put it down in your book
that l have been riding some lately,
and if l don't stop am liable to ride
my fool brains out, but then that
will be my business and none of
yours, and it will be my brains not
yours. Then you have no right to say
l have fool brains. You can afford
to attend to your own business.
made a trip from Jacksonville,
Fla, to Denmark, S. C., to visit Voor-
hees normal and industrial college, to
come in touch with Prof. Martin A.
Menafew, the wonder of the age, and
the man of doing things. 1t was to
me source of pleasure to drop in
and take a look at him, and to see
the large number of young people
there who are getting ready to take
the place of man and woman. They
are going to make this world take
notice, and that makes me a proud
man.
/ spent some little time there, and
then made it to Savannah, where the
banks there had failed. When / say
banks l mean some of the banks op-
Grated by white folks, but our banks
have been going right on and on.
Mrs Willie G. Hill, the widow of
wealth and ability, met me at the sta
ton in her fine lemonade and toted
me out to her home where she served
me some fish and oysters, and then
1 left for Jacksonville, again. l am
not prepared to tell you all the things
l saw there, nor all the people met
l only remained there one night, and
left for this place. You see / am
here now, but will soon be away from
here. 1 am the guest of Rev. H. K.
Hill of the Baptist church.
Perhaps you do not know DR.. H.
K. Hill. He is some pumpkins in the
Baptist church and has been doing
some rel work for his people in this
section of the country. He is pastor
of the Baptist church here, and a
member of the trustee board Of that
school in Live Oak, Florida, and then
he is interested in anything which
means racial development and uphtt.
have had the pleasure of knowing
him and his great work for a long
time
Right by the side of DR.. Hill is his
wife. Mrs. Viola T. Hill, who is presi-
dent of the convention here among
the Baptist women and woman OF
extraordinary ability. She has been
doing things for years, and she con-
tinues to do them. She has the love
of the women of this section of the
world.
/ must not forget to tell you that
had the pleasure of meeting Rev.
John E. Ford, IN Jacksonville, but he
could not have me spend night IN
his home because he had had so much
company during the winter. and some
of them had remained two weeks or
more. and all the bed linen had been
ofaced IN the laundry and his wife
was not well. OF course, did not
think of wanting TO spend night IN
this home. for so many had been
there already and had soiled all the
bed linen he had, and from what l
could learn had not left anything to
have If washed. It certainly costs
man something to be somebody.
lam sure that the smile which Edi-
TOR w. L. Porter of the East Tennes-
see News is wearing now must put to
bIush the Gold Dust twins, and l DO
not bfame him for this wonderful
smile for the good Lord has blessed
him. and there is not only wite IN
his home but there IS a daughter
Dorothy Marion Louise, and she IS
there 10 remain, and viii have full
charge Of the house. / am proud OF
this. and may they live many years
vet to come. She viii some day be
writing editorials IKE her father. She
win be pleading the eause of her
people.
