some entertaining. She is wonder
full woman, and had at her table daily
dozen or more people. Her imme-
date guests were Bishop and Mrs.
Fountain, and the regular eaters were
Revs. NJ. "A. and w. A. Fountain, the
first the bishops brother and the
other his son; Charles E. Stump, H.
r. Baranco and others whose names
do not recall. She worked hard
and soon she will join her husband
in Kansas City.
| want to pay tribute to Mrs.
Fountain, the wife of the Bishop, and
who is indeed a remarkable woman.
] had the pleasure Of meeting her.
She is not only the wife of the bishop,
but she is also his private secretary
and has been for years. She held that
position when he was president of
Morris Brown, and she is holding it
now, and is on a salary. She took
time to get some education before she
accepted a husband, and now she is
of great service to her husband. She
served him during the. conference, and
the men made her welcome. Her
service does not end with the few
pennies she gets out of it, for all the
money he has or can get hold
belongs to the president, and I mean
by that the wife and private secre-
tary. He told her so.
You know what they are dong in
Louisiana--how they have been doing
some killing, and Governor Parker is
trying to regulate it and let men know
that they cannot take the law in their
own hands. hope that all will be
adjusted, and life and property OF all
the people of Louisiana will be safe.
| take off my hat to the X. K. K,
who is doing brown baby job. You
see there was a time that they would
lynch us without putting on masks,
but thanks be unto God, they are
now putting on masks and lynching
themselves, and this is giving us the
benefit of this.
When white men kill white men like
they have been killing black men,
then the big show opens up, and
there comes the fireworks. That is
what is. going on right now. They
have them in jail, they are telling the
truth on each other, while they may
never tell how they killed US, they
will tell how they killed the white
folks, and when they stop it it will be
stopped.
They are fixing for them big meet
ings. Information comes to me that
the National Race Congress will meet
in Washington May 2. / am going
to be there, for they are going to talk
about that United States Senate that
refused to pass a bill which meant
the protection of human life, and the
majority Of them were republicans.
We are just going to see how they
can be put to their place. They must
be considered, and put where they
belong. If they are to neglect duty,
and think I must continue to vote
for them on the ground that Abra-
ham Lincoln and his party emanci-
pated US. Some of these old devils
now had nothing to do with it. We
have fully paid the debt and now we
are to do a little thinking. Put
thought into life. Thinkers will not
be led around by the nose. Write DR..
