C. Simon, D.D., of Opelousas, La. Rev. Simon is a pure type of the American Negro. He has a wonderful control of his voice and electrified the audience with some beautiful sayings. Rev. Simon said: “In bidding you welcome to this State, I would not forget to remind you that the white folks run this State, all of the officers from governor down to jailer are white folks; however, we thank God that in the running of our churches, our schools, our stores, our farms—in fact our everything, we are not molested nor burlesqued. We can do anything we want in this State except a few things that the white folks have reserved unto These things we must not touch nor eat for “the day ye eat thereof ye shall surely die.’ So in bidding you welcome we do so to the things that are ours. If you go beyond that then we give you up into the hands of the good Lord. I bid you welcome because I know that the people of New Orleans, both white and black, will treat you grand and make it pleas- and for themselves. COME ONE. - < - - COME ALL.
