TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
FOR THE BROAD AK, HAS BEEN
VISITING WITH FRIENDS AT BIR-
MTNGEIAM, ALABAMA, WHERE HE
HAD A ROYAL TIME.

ers. 1t is just like an old dog we had
when was boy, named Juno. She
seemingly formed dislike for the
moon, and when the moon would shine
she would spend hours barking at it,
but one morning we discovered Juno
with her head turned up toward the
moon dead, but the moon continues
to shine. Thus it will be with some
OF these fellows who attempt to de-
stroy Motion. They will die, but Mo-
ton and his efforts for the betterment
of mankind will continue to live. He
is sane, conservative safe leader and
| am proud Of him. Don't bother
about what others may say concern
ing the hospital, you will find that it
will turn out all right in due time.
I told you about my trip to New
York, Philadelphia, Washington, d.
C., Richmond, Va, and from Rich
mond, left on the S. A. L. and made
it into Atlanta. People were out in
AoA 81 III <llAdHA0 " AlCdL MY.
DR.. L. K Williams, president Of the
National Baptist convention. When
got in town and went upstairs to the
terminal stable, heard some one ask
Are you going to hear L. X. tonight
at A. d. Williams church,"
He preached a wonderful sermon
and delivered a wonderful address.
There were many there including DR..
Carter, of Friendship Baptist church.
You see, DR.. Carter has not been a
member of the National Baptist con-
vention since that historic Chicago
meeting. IF you keep up that kind
of speech-making you will soon have
all the Baptists together again." DR..
Carter said There are to be many
surprises in the rank of our friends,
this fall. Some people who have fol-
lowed the father, who was a genius,
will not follow the son, and will re-
turn home.
/ had a long talk with DIR. D. w.
Cannon, president of the National
B. Y. p. u. and Sunday School Con-
gress, who has been sick, but l am
glad to say much, improved. The
Congress will meet June 18, and he
will go ahead of time. 1t is going to
be one more great meeting and the
people are going to be there from
everywhere.
After spending the night in Atlanta,
bright and early the next morning ]
was off for Tuskegee Institute, and
had indeed a fine ride. They met me
at Chehaw in automobile car car
rage and toted me over to the school.
1t was commencement time, and it
was wonderful sight to witness 100
young people getting diplomas and
certificates. They had earned them
and will make good in life, ! hope.
I came in touch first with Secretary
Holsey, who made me welcome and
free. He had my things toted over
to my quarters, and then told me that
he would be delighted to render any
possible service. Then ! was in COM
pzny with Banker Cover, who is an
other fine man, and his wife soon in
formed me that she had some chicken
dinner for me. Mrs. Kate Cover is
considered one of the best proof
readers in this country. They tell me
that It is just as easy to walk up to
the moon as it is for an error to es-
cape her eyes. She is not working just
now. She trained under Mr.. Burrell,
in the National Baptist Publishing
Board in Nashville, and has been do
ing some real work since. / don't
know how many years she has been at
Tuskegee. She went there Miss Evans,
and now see who she is.
Coming back to Secretary Holsey,
since the commencement has been
pulled off, he is now turning his at
tention to that great event which is to
take place in Hot Springs in August,
the National Negro Business League,
and if you miss it, you will miss one
OF the greatest meetings in the history
Of your life. Many will 60 from there
to the National, or Supreme Lodge in
New York am going there myself.
Editor Porter, of East Tennessee
News is going to be there and he is
going to make some speech believe
me, honey. He did not get to Norfolk,
but will get to Hot Springs. The
people in the city OF Hot Springs are
going to put the big pot in the little
one. | shall let you know about it
from time to time.
You may write to me, 2Sl3 Thomas
avenue, Dallas, Texas. l will be there
next week to the Grand Lodge
Knights Of Pythias.
