LY May 23rd 1923, Dear Mr. Editor: § %Please aliow me space in your valu- able puper to express o our community some striking facts that I and aiso others have lived to see in a shori time. No. 1. That from 1920 to 1923 we are all erying for a good raintall ail over our poor little St. Croix. gNo. 2. For 6 years we have changed 5 Secretaries. No. 3. 4 Governors. ' Now let us all hope that with this new change of Secretary that we have a man of some good spivit that has now ertercd our litile St. Croix and not to be as some that we have seen here just living in certain guarters, with cer- tain fellows coming in and filling his head with somebody clse’s business as 1 have sat and hear, just for the sake of making themselves very hig and 1s very small at the sama time. Let every hon- est map sweep his own door before he tries to tarow dust in other people’s homes. You are a new MAN, vou will see a lot of biles and a good many trick- sters will come around, but yocu wiil find °* that the poorest ones will be much bet- ter, very often to have a talk with and won’t mislead you, now we hope that yourselt and family will spend at l=ast three vears among us. Don’t think wuvs savages as some may say the Negzro is blind he is no good: we can see and see nretry far too. We want broad mirded ‘MEN among us, and no more of these tricksters. Again thanking you for your valuable time and space, Yours very truly W. S. ABRAMSCON, TGt AMS, Sl. CROIX S ALION.
