The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1924-11-22


/ Do you know DR.. 4. D. Fuller? He
is worth knowing. He is school
man of the highest type, and was at
one time member of the Legislature
Of North Carolina. ] think he was a
State Senator. He has been in the
school room for long time, and has
taken unto himself one Of the best ed
ucated women in this race Of ours.
She was Miss Dixie Williams, but
now she has thrown away Williams
and has taken on G. Fuller, and to my
way Of thinking about things, she is
great woman and you will agree
with me if you can just meet her once.
She is wonderful woman.
| made a trip down to the Hender-
son Business College. 1t is wonderful
to see how this young man has
started with nothing and has one Of
the best business colleges in this coun-
try, and I am saying nothing about
race or color. He asks no favor be-
cause Of his race. He knows his bust
ness and then if those who are in the
college will just listen to him they
will know their business also. He is
great educator, and he can just take
words right out of your mouth and
put them on paper
had the pleasure Of meeting Miss
Barbara c. Ford, who was for a long
time connected with the Woodmen of
Union, Of which Hon. John I. Webb
is the supreme custodian, and a char
acter within himself.
Miss Ford is spending some time
there with her cousin, trying to get
back health, and think she is going
to succeed. l did not get to spend
but a few minutes talking with her,
for she was busy. had to be about
my business there.
Spent the night at the home of Mrs.
6. w. Porter, and she is doing we'll.
her daughter is one Of the teachers IN
the public school system. From this
you will see that | mingled with edu-
cation and business.
Bright and early next morning
got myself and buds together and was
on my way to this place, using the
Rock Island | got here, Hon. Scipio
Jones, that great lawyer and friend TO
humanity, got an automobile car car
riage and decided to tote me over to
the home Of DR.. Joseph "A. Booker,
where | had been invited to spend the
time during my stay in town.
Or. Booker is president Of the Ar
kansas Baptist College, and just see
how l am going up, will you? Asso-
eating with brains. if you please, and
il keep this kind Of thing up am
liable to have the big head myself.
No cure for the big head. know
you are anxious to know what am
doing in town. The Baptist state con
vention is in session here and had
been invited to be present, because
they were to and did celebrate the
4Oth anniversary Of the Arkansas Bap-
fist College, headed by DR.. Joseph A.
Booker.
But here, let me pause and paw a
tribute to one Of the great men Of oul
race whose life is passing away, VINO
has served well his people, and now
waiting for the end. For three wears
ne has been lingering between life and
death. now speak of c. E. Bush.
who succeeded his father as supreme
scribe Of the Mosaic Templars Of the
World. | told you when John E.
Bush, one of the greatest men ever
produced by Arkansas or any other
state passed out, he was succeeded bv
his son, who had been we'll trained
for the work. Early in his career dis
ease laid hands on him and he has
been suffering for these years making
no complaint. Right by his side has
been a loving wife. She has helped
him SO much to bear his Affections.
She has been loving and sympathetic.
Now comes to the front in this or
ganization as supreme scribe, "A. E.
Bush, the youngest one in the family,
and he is business genius. He takes
hold of the work, and while perhaps
he j. the youngest official in the order,
yet he has the respect and confidence
of all. He knows the business and is
strictly business in all things. A young
man Of few words, but when he speaks
you will recognize man has spoken.
You viii admire him from the begin
ming. He is reliable and that helps
to win.
Let Us ali pray that God will spare
