WILLIAMS WEEKLY LETTER Beaumont, Tex., June 24. To the Readers of The Monitor: Sunday morning I boarded the train ! for Conroe. It was a relief to leave the crowded and hot, stifling city be hind, even though my chariot was only the jim crow section of an old, dilapidated railway coach of a branch line railway. At Conroe I found that I had made my first stop in the piney woods of East Texas, in which I was destined to spend the next eight days. Noth ing of interest in Conroe and neither *r Willis, my next stop, excepting it is known as the home of Ed Barnes, the famous inventor of the monkey mo tion of forward drive attachment for railway engines. Crockett, my next place, is quiLe an interesting little place. Here is lo cated the famous Mary Alien serai I i-ary, established by' the Congrega I tional church for the girls of our race. ! A summer normal was in progress I there, conducted by Prof. Pryor of j Henderson, who received me very cor dially and gave me an opportunity to present The Monitor to the school. The business I received is proof of irs hearty welcome. This day was tiie 19th day of June, celebrated all over : Texas as the accepted date of emanci pation proclamation, and at Trinity, I just thirty miles away, the race was I gathering to do honor to the name of J Abraham Lincoln for striking the shackles from the hands of their an cestors, and as all roads seemingly this day led to Trinity I, too, traveled that way. A noon train chuffing noisly up to the dilapidated station of this sawmill town, stopped suddenly with a wheezing of brakes and a drag ging of wheels, and I soon found my self gazing on a mass of people, a riot of color, for here was the race in ail I its glory, wearing its many-hue l I clothes under its many-tinted faces in true regal style, laughing away !h sorrows ol' yesterday, caring not foi the possibilities of the future. The Rock Creek Lumber company had given to its employes the right tc invite all of their friends and enter tain them at the expense of the mil company, which served refreshment in the form of barbacued goats to the number of 100, ten dozen fried chick c ns, plenty of ice cream and a carle.nr of watermelons. Speakers of merd were invited for the day and a mini ! her of interesting athletic contest, completed the program for the even ; ing. The night was given over to tin joy-makers, who took possession o: ' the smooth mill floor and tripped the light fantastic to the strains of a wcl trained orchestra. Some big day for me! But I enjoyed myself. The next day at Groveton, just an other sawmill station, with plenty ol our people who had seen to mu<4 “Juneteenth.” Result, no business. Same can be said of Lufkin and Nace doches, my next stop. So Saturday night found me at Beaumont, after iong and dusty journey, formerly the Queen City of the Southern Texas oh fields, but now the great shipbuilding center of the South. Until next week I am correspond ingly yours, FRED C. WILLIAMS, Traveling Representative of The Monitor. Luxuries as usual means a victori ous Germany. Save and buy' War Savings Stamps.

Editor The Monitor: I read your editorial comment in this week’s issue of The Monitor on the action of the socialists in New York, who nominated three Colored comrades for political office. Friend Williams, this is not extraor dinary, but a common thing with us. Wre nominated a former minister oi Omaha, who founded the Baptist church in this city, for state treasurer of California and he made an excel lent race and further we are proud oi him. I refer to Rev. George W. Woodby. If the Negro race only partially acted upon your advice it would kill the republican party and paralyze the , democratic party. It would kill cap italism and wage slavery, a.slave y i more damnable and detestable than chattel slavery, and it would emanci pate the Colored race from social and economic injustice. The Colored race holds the fate of industrial democracy within the hol low of its hand. May it use it win ' I do hope that the Colored brother and sister will awaken to the import ance of reading and digesting what they read, so that a free and happy human family of nations and p< ipbs will come after this war, partially, as t result of their intelligent action n dustrially and politically.
