OoAtSSSy Ddkefs LOuiS1ana.--
1t Is few miles jump from Jackson
vile, Florida to Baker, Louisiana. but
| have made it just the same and here
am this week As happy a. a june
bug in blackberry patch eating nice
juicy bIackberries, and you are help
ing me to shout, because there was
manhood enough in the Republican
Senators to confirm Walter Cohen,
and he is now in the position, and
President Coolidge had manhood
enough to stand BY it, although he
viii lose the electoral votes OF Louis
lana.
OF course he had already lost them,
and he has also said to Louisiana and
all the other people who would OBJ
ject to a man on account Of the time
Of his birth, the dark of the moon, or
those who were born before the Nc
Kinley tariff was placed on coIored
goods, that he is president of all the
people, and viii recognize American
citizens even though they were born
dark. He has demonstrated that he
has real backbone and not shoe
string up and down his back, where
he sits on one end and his head on
the other.
As ! told you / do not know much
about the game called politics, but
honey, / am going to cast my vote for
Mr.. Coolidge first, last and / am go
ing to vote in Cook County, Illinois,
where my one vote viii be worth just
one thousand in Louisiana. For when
Louisiana casts its electoral vote for
any republican, the devil viii have left
his fiery throne, and with the burning
cross took charge Of this earth and
we will all be crying it is "hash-e-
square-lull brethren and let US escape"
/ left Jacksonville and rode right
on through to Mobile without getting
of the wagon, and when l got to No
bile it was about o'clock in the
morning, hence made my way to the
stopping place and bright and early
the next morning / got out and
touched some friends. / got a pack
age from Poro college, and l am here
to tell you that Prof. and Mrs. A. E.
Malone are putting it over the top and
they are blessing humanity, and for
them / am praying. They are now
supplying US with everything that is
made by the other people, the only
thing they are the manufacturers and
that means more for our young peo-
pie to do. Now if you want face pow
der, Poro viii furnish it in brunette,
flesh, white, brown; and then they can
furnish you with talcum powder, with
vanishing cream, cold cream, soap,
toilet water, the finest made, and the
finest kind of perfume in fine bottles,
both Of them and should you need
something called deodorant, they have
it. / don't know just what it is for,
but it is something that is fine and will
do the work.
/ feel to congratulate Mr. and Mrs.
Malone, for they are real representa-
tives Of our people, and they are for
progress. They are Christian people
and both members Of the African
Methodist church. Prof. Aaron E.
Malone is a lay delegate to the gen
eral conference, and will represent his
church in that great law-making body
which viii meet the first Monday in
May in the city Of Louisville, KY.
He is at present chairman Of the lay
men and / am sure he viii be re-
elected. He i not seeking the honor
because It will mean work, but we
need a man who knows how to work,
and / am sure. they viii need him in
the general conference.
Just before leaving off from Mobile,
for / had big time there. and yet !
was made to feel sad when heard
that another great man had fallen, an
old landmark had passed away, Hon.
/. T. Montgomery. the founder Of
Mount Bayou, Miss, and one Of the
great men. He lived a life that would
inspire any Of our people. He was
slave and belonged. IN that Davis fam
ily, and had the pleasure, when but a
slave to serve as private secretary and
general ali round man to the brother
OF Jeff Davis. We pause to pay
tribute to a great man. It tells Others
to get ready for the reaper death is
passing through the land God help
Us to be ready when he calls for each
Of US.
N Mobile, / was thrown with Pr.
H. Roger Williams, Or. Y. J. Robin
SON pastor Of the Franklin Street Bap-
list church, and one Of the leading
Young men ii the state, and James
Knox. the efficient planter. and won
derfui character. I went to the estab-
lishment Of Mr.. Knox and believe me
honey my mouth was about to jump
