way for years. She has contributed to
his success and she is right now deep
ly interested in his business. They
have lovely home.
1t is worth trip over to Editor
Taylor's just to get to see his library.
He has some books, and ! am told
that he digs into them, too. He has
a fine collection of books from the
pen of men of our race, hence he is
getting the best thoughts of some of
the best men This world has ever
known. He communes with thought
and that is why he has been able to
give the world such good paper. He
is not a political job hunter, but he is
free to speak right out in church.
He is a man who is interested in
our educational institutions; he is in
teFested in the men who are making
thought 1t the men who are doing
things; but he has no time for strag-
glers, worthless, thoughtless people.
If you have thought you can reach
Editor Taylor or his wife any time.
| have been to see the Office Of the
Supreme Royal Circle of Friends, at
the head Of which is DR.. X. A. Viii
lians. 1t is great organization and
is doing much to help the unfortu-
nate, especially those who belong to
the order. They are planning all over
the country hospitals for their sick,
and then they go beyond that and ex-
tend it to those who happen not to
belong to the order, but are poor and
in distress. They will hear the human
cry, and go to the rescue. The men,
bership is increasing in the city of
Chicago If you are not a member
would advise that you get in early.
Get ready to 60 goat riding. He will
not throw you, for the Royal Circle
goat is a kind, good old fellow and
you can ride him with ease.
Now that all Of this has been said,
must | come down and cuss a little
bit? God forbid that / ever do any
such thing. But here is thing that
is sufficient to make fellow say
such things. But here is thing that
| is sufficient to make a fellow say
something that would not be printed
in the Sunday School Quarterlies by
Secretary Townsend or Prof. Ira I.
Bryant. This is what was said:
Rosewood, Fla, Jan. q Twelve
houses, all that remained of the Negro
section Of Rosewood, following the
clash between whites and blacks
Thursday night, in which seven were
killed, were fired by crowd Of white
men today and burned to the ground.
"The houses were fired one at a
time, while a crowd Of between 100
and $50 looked on without making
any effort to extinguish the flames,
according to Levy County authori-
ties. All Of the Negroes were hiding
in the woods, where they went late
Thursday night after the clash
Six houses and a Negro church
were burned Thursday night imme-
diately after a crowd OF white men,
advancing on Negro house, had
been fired on and two Of their number
killed
THE Negroes escaped after two Of
them had been shot to death. A
Negro woman was killed as she was
leaving her burning dwelling, another
Negro was slain about twenty miles
away and yesterday a fifth one was
shot to death in Sumner on the grave
Of his mother and brother"
Then they are lynching, burning,
killing, and just raising particular
hash. | don't see how in the hell
the republicans expect to remain in
power. They could have carried that
bill known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching
bill, but they permitted that demo-
cratic minority to excite them, and
think we should do a little exciting
in 1924. Will you meet me at the
ballot box then, and say a few
things to them republican senators,
and the republican president Of the
United States? If you helped to elect
him, then want to have you help to
unelect them all.
Don't pay any attention to what
DuBoise, Pickens, johnson, ct al are
saying about Perry w. Howard
Howard is doing his work; he is
republican, he is man, and a man
for his race. He is doing a great
big work, and we must not discredit
the good he is doing. We must do
our part in the future.
think / had better bring this let
ter to a stop.
