that the checks were drawn with the
intent to conceal the true state of the
two accounts named to defraud the
bank"
Then there are other things in the
paper, but I want you to bear in mind
that a newspaper is not court OF
trial, and save you judgment until
the evidence has been heard, and
believe Mr.. Mitchell will come out on
top.
/ have had the pleasure of seeing
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell, of Tuggle In
stitute, Birmingham, Ala. They are
visiting Chicago and are having a
great big time in town. They are now
studying things. Mrs. Mitchell is the
daughter of that great woman, Mrs.
Carrie A. Tuggle. had the pleas
ure of visiting the Chicago Defender
with them, and also dropped into the
Associated Negro Press, and found
Claude Barnett and his staff hard at
work. They are dong something in
this Office, and believe me it will only
be question of time when they will
have their operators and telegraph
sending forth information to the
world. We are just going there.
/ have had the pleasure of meet
ing DIR. S. E. J. Watson, another busy
man, and he is some busy l am here
to tell you. He has a wonderful
church building. and he is kept busy
all the time. He is riding around in
his automobile car carriage. 1 also
met DR.. L. K. Williams. and DR.. J.
H. Branham. You see DR.. Williams
is pastor of the largeJt church in the
world When you get over ten thou
sand members in one church, you are
going some, and that is the condition
of Olivet Baptist church.
Prof. P. T. Frazer is no more.
Death claimed him last week, and last
Friday they had his funeral at Eben-
ezer Baptist church. 1t was indeed
sad, and it touched my heart, because
we were in school at the same time
and in the same class. He had a
wonderful career. He has left a
widow, one son and one daughter
His daughter is music teacher in the
state school in Petersburg. Va, and
will return to the work. There were
several of the old school mates pres
ent and paid tribute to the wonder
full character. DR.. :. H. Clark
preached a wonderful sermon.
The passing of DIR. R. H. Boyd. of
the National Baptist Publishing
Board, takes from us another leader
in this country. One by one we are
passing out. He will by all means
be succeeded by his son, Henry Al
len Boyd, of Nashville, who has been
IN charge of the business for a long
time. DR.. Boyd has been in bad
health for several years.
Season foE Methodist conferences is
about on, and there are many things
being discussed among the brethren,
but just what they are am not pre-
pared to tell you, because am an Old
Baptist and a member of the Ma
tional Baptist convention. But / did
hear that they are talking about max
ing Rev. s. ]. Johnson, of San An
tonic, Texas, secretary of the Church
Extension Society of his church, and
then make DR.. John A. Gregg, presi-
dent now of Wlberforce, one of the
Bishops, and that would be another
good thing to do. may hear of
other things later, and if they wills
per to me l will whisper to you. But
DR.. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, is
right now before the people for the
episcopacy. He is a good man, and
! would like to see him elevated. Let
US look and listen.
think it would be a good thing
for me to bring this letter to a sud
den stop for this week and take up
some things next week. Attorney S.
A. T. Watkins, is looking after the
case of Young Stewart, and he is go
ing to look up the fellow who ran
into this messenger. and see that he
does his duty.
think / have had enough to say
to you this week. will write again
soon.
