JOURNEYING THROUGH TEXAS;
MB. 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.

Letters from Our Readers i
Socialism and the Negro.
Omaha, June 22.
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.
Fraternally,
JESSE T. BRIM.HART
