Georgia visiting her husband, who is
employed down there.
It had cost nearly 100000 to make
the trip to st. Mary's, Ga. She
thought she would have died down
there. They fed down there mostly
rice and for drink, coffee, with no
sugar in it. 1 arrived in west POINT
shortly before 10 A. M. and found
Mr.. Charles H. Clark and his father
with a shop full of customers. eX-
pected to return that same afternoon
and told him so, but l overlooked the
fact that | was going to colored
folks meeting, set for l P. M. and
, which would take place at most any
hour thereafter. AS the bus made its
return "trip at 1925 P. M. and foond
the audience that l was expected to
address slowly assembling at Z. M,
I knew that my return ticket would
be useless to me that day.
Arriving at Saluda, | had pointed
out to me the residence of Attorney
General John R. Saunders and l
fastened there to see him. The trim
looking colored girl said he had left
for Richmond the day before. l lett
q COPY of the Planet there and with
Mr. Kersey took a stand awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. L. r. Dickerson, who
was to meet Us there. When ne ar
rived. we left for Nesting, and later
he left us at the residence OF Mr..
and Mrs. Jerry A. Moody. Mrs.
Moody smiiingly greeted us saying
that she hoped we would excuse her
as she was washing. The residence
vas g model of neatness and care.
The porches was screened. Flowers
were in the front yard and white
wash had done wuch to add to the
beauty of the scene.
Over in the distance could be seen
the St. Pauls Baptist Church, where
| was to speak, Mrs, Moody enqulred
if we wanted dinner. She could pre-
pare a luncheon hastily. Mr.. Dlcker-
son had told us that dinner would be
served at the church. We accepted
Mrs. Moody's invitation, 1t was not
long before we were ushered into
the dining room and we enjoyed a
most appetizing repast. The melt
in the mouth biscuits caused me to
eat more bread than | have eaten at
one meal in twenty years. Thanking
her, | went to the church, where the
SISTERS" were there preparing for
the meeting.
This is a point on the Rappahan-
mock River, where well-to-do white
people have their lodges for fish
ing. This is fish and oyster sec
, ton. 1 left the party and strolled
alone down toward the river. l was
told that it. was only two or three
minutes walk to that, point. 1 had
walked ten minutes with no river in
sight. Just then Mr.. Dickerson drove
up in his car and l completed the
distance much to my satisfaction
| Upon the return to the church, after
some delay the exercises commenced:
/ Charley Morris lives at Nesting and
owns a Hudson car. He stated that
he had driven from Devan, Pa, 34e
| miles away, and arrived at Nesting In
nine and one-half hours.
