THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK President R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., Makes Third Annual Address. A LARGE NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS PRESENT TO LISTEN AND GET INSPIRATION ENDORSING HIM BY RE-ELECTING HIM FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TERM. The third annual meeting of the stockholders of the One-Cent Savings Bank was called to order promptly at 7:30 Monday evening, January 14, in the director's room of the One Cent Savings Bank. Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., the President, called the meeting to order. Rev. W. D. Chappelle, D. D., offered prayer. The president then declared that the third annual meeting was opened for business. Upon roll call it was found that a majority of all the paid-up stock was represented. This being by far the largest attended stockholder's meeting since the organization of the bank. Not more than one-tenth of the paid in stockholders was absent. The third consecutive term of the officers of the bank expired at this meeting. The president read his annual address and recommendations. The address was adopted, and upon motion the recommendations were referred to the Board of Directors for consideration. To the Officers, Directors and Stockholders of the One Cent Savings Bank: For three consecutive years you have honored me, both by your vote and your confidence, with the highest honor within the gift of your institution. There has not a day dawned in these three years that I have been unmindful of the great responsibility with which you have intrusted me. I have endeavored to the best of my ability to prove that this confidence was not abused, nor this trust misplaced. Whatever success or prosperity, or whatever public confidence or increase of business has come to the One Cent Savings Bank during these three years is due very largely to the earnest work and careful management of the cashier, teller, and executive committee of management. These officials, like myself, have suffered untold mental anxiety with an ever-present, keen desire to have careful, accurate, earnest, straightforward business-like transactions in this institution, and its employees from the janitor who sweeps the floor and lights the building to the president who presides over the meetings and gives the final decisions. The Launching of This Institution. The launching of this institution was indeed an experiment, an experiment that gives great concern to the stockholders and management. The confidence of the Negroes of this State and city has been so often, so inexcusably, so continuously abused; first, by our Caucasian brethren who have undisputed control of everything,—and, second, by their own people who happen to be a little more fortunate with education, wealth and confidence than their less fortunate brethren. There seems to be among the Negroes of Tennessee everywhere a continual repetition of this rhyme, "Since man to man is so unjust, we cannot decide what man to trust." The Need for Such an Institution. The urgent need for a commercial trust and savings institution, conducted exclusively in the interest of and for the peculiar needs of the Negroes of this city, was and is still unquestioned by all who take even a casual observation of conditions. But as time goes on, and conditions change, this need is more apparent to-day than ever before. There are in the city of Nashville and its suburban vicinities between forty and fifty thousand Negroes, and 50 per cent. of these Negroes are wage-earners and bread-winners. They are engaged in every industrial pursuit that is followed by the American people, from an ordi- nary avocation to the highest profession, from a common day laborer to the most skilled mechanic. Their earnings range anywhere from $5.00 to $500.00 per month. They own valuable property anywhere from $10.00 worth of household goods to $50,000 worth of real and personal property. Indeed, there is not a civil district of Davidson County, nor a ward in the city of Nashville where Negroes do not own both personal property and real estate. In fact, it would be hard to find a business block in the city of Nashville where some Negro does not hold a claim in some way upon some of the real estate in that block, either by a mortgage, deed, trust securities, or in fee simple. I venture the assertion, without fear of successful contradiction, that there is not a savings bank, nor trust company, nor national bank in the city of Nashville in which there is not a Negro depositor; and I further venture the assertion, that there is not one in which some Negro does not hold some stock. Yet, for all this, they receive REV. R. H. BOYD, D. D., LL. D. President One Cent Savings Bank. no commercial credit nor business recognition in the financial and business world. If these assertions be true, and I do not believe that there is a stockholder in this room to-night who doubts the correctness of these assertions; I say, if they be true, is it not high time, is the time not fully ripe, has the day not dawned, and is the emergency not upon us that we should rise up, like men, like a people of intelligence, and prove to the world by our industrial, commercial, and frugal dealings that we are worthy recipients of the recent pretended citizenship that has been conferred upon us by the American people? We can not prove this by words, nor bragadocio arguments, nor false and misleading newspaper and magazine articles, nor gorgeous dressing, nor a display of eloquent and classical language, but by what we are and what we do, we convince the civilized and intelligent world that we are worthy recipients of an intelligent American citizenship. There was a day when men were recognized because of their birth, their dress and their language. But in this dawn of the Twentieth Century, the civilized and intelligent world recognizes men, first, for what they are; second, for what they do, and, third, for what they have. It was said, and possibly well said by an intelligent writer, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." This may be true, but the twentieth century will prove that he who steers the wheels of commerce will direct and control the civilized world. The Negro's Greatest Need. There is a great controversy to-day among the intelligent as to what is the greatest need of the Negro race. These disputants seem divided into five distinct schools: The first class argues that the Negro's greatest need is religion. The second, says that it is morality. The third, argues that it is higher education. The fourth class contends that it is industrial education, and the fifth class, that his greatest need is wealth. But I, after forty years of earnest observation and thirty years of public career, cannot join any one of these schools. I hold that the Negro needs all of these. But if he needs any one thing more than another, he needs racial confidence, racial fidelity, racial patriotism and racial love. For when the Negro learns to trust and love the Negro race, from a commercial standpoint, all other things will come to him. The Negro is religious. Indeed, I am almost ready to say like Paul said No Advancement for the Negro and He is Not Really Wanted. From New York Sun. To the Editor of The Sun—Sir: It is quite evident that "Black," the writer of a letter about the color line in the navy which was printed in The Sun on January 10, has not gone into the matter deeply. Only within the last few months a cabin steward whose time has expired told me that after twelve years' experience he had come to the conclusion that the navy was no place for a black man. He told me of a number of incidents of black sailors suffering indignities from white sailors and how sailors on the battleship Indiana, while she was lying in the Brooklyn navy yard, petitioned for separate drinking cups. While the officers do not encourage these practices, many of them find a way not to know about them. From others I have learned there is no advancement for black sailors. You never find them on gun crews; you never find black apprentice boys. Almost all negroes are firemen or coal passers or personal servants of the commissioned officers. If "Black" will investigate he will find that black sailors are leaving the service. Whenever a photo is taken of a battleship's crew and officers rarely do you see a black face in the group. H. A. WILLIAMSON. Brooklyn, January 11. of the Athenians, "They are too religious," for religion is superstition, although superstition is not always religion. If the Negro had less superstition and more commercial confidence in each other; if the money handled by the Negroes of Nashville was handled by the Negro financiers through well-organized and safely guarded Negro financial institutions, his treatment, and his condition, together with the tone of the daily newspapers would indeed be different. If every merchant in Nashville who sold a Negro $1.00 worth of merchandise, or a piece of real estate, received as payment a check on some Negro banking institution and if the reports and annual sworn statement made to the state comptroller of these Negro banking institutions of Tennessee, the commercial agencies and business public would see the Negro in a very different light to what they see him to-day The Churches, Lodges and Insurance Institutions. The Negro by just legislation and political discrimination is robbed of every vestige of self-government, except in such religious and benevolent institution as they may organize among themselves. The Negro churches, Negro lodges, and other benevolent insurance institutions ought, and, in fact, to some extent, are training the Negroes in self-government, and fitting him for the duties of life. I believe, therefore, that our only hope to draw the Negroes up along a correct commercial and financial lines is to convince and convert the leaders first and followers of these institutions into the confidence of each other and of the race. Our preachers are the greatest and most intelligent, and most patriotic race leaders that we have. Our churches own more property, control more substantial financial institutions, and have the best financial standing of any of the race organizations among us. Our preachers are indeed great leaders. They battle against great odds, and against great opposition. Any tool feels at liberty to criticise a Negro preacher and say what he would do if he (the criticiser) were a Negro preacher. But if you will examine closely the character and standing of that "wind jammer," who criticises the Negro preacher, you will find that he is a complete failure in every undertaking, if he ever undertook anything. Next to our churches come the lodges and other benevolent institutions. All our churches and lodges have money and financial transactions. But if you should examine the pages of the ledger of the One Cent Savings bank, the only banking institution owned and operated by Negroes in the city of Nashville, you would, indeed, be surprised at the absence of the names of the churches and lodges and benevolent institutions of the State of Tennessee, and they have to-day more than a half-million dollars, if not a million on deposit in the different banking institutions in this state, owned and operated by white people. If in some way the lead ers of these institutions could be instructed to handle the finances of these institutions in a way to gain the confidence of the laymen, and make a good financial showing to the business public, the question would be solved. The individual depositor is sure to follow the depositor of the churches, lodges, and other benevolent institutions. The Financial Condition of the Negroes of Nashville. For three years I have endeavored to make a study of the Negro's financial transactions in the city of Nashville. I think, as I have already said, that there are in the city of Nashville and its suburbs between forty and fifty thousand Negroes, and more than 50 per cent of these are bread-winners, wage-earners, and money-distributors. If these 25,000 Negroes or money-distributors handle on an average only $10.00 per month, it would amount to the enormous sum of $250,000 per month, or $9,000,000 annually. What would be the result, and what financial and business ruling would the Negro banking institutions of Nash- One Cent Savings Bank Building, 411 Fourth ave., N., Nashville, Tenn. ville have, if upon the sworn statement of its officers published quarterly, they could make financial showing of bank clearings of $9,000,000 annually? Would it not put the Negroes in a different light? The One Cent Savings Bank, the only Negro banking institution in Nashville, by the sworn statement of our honored cashier, who is the proper custodian of the money, shows a total clearance for the year 1906, of $576,859.73. If we take up the number of depositors as shown upon the ledger of this banking institution, it will be seen that my figures for $9,000,000 annual clearance, is entirely too small; for according to the ledger of the One Cent Savings Bank there is possibly not more than six hundred or seven hundred of both stockholders and depositors in this bank. If six hundred depositors show an annual bank clearance of $600,000 in round numbers, 6,000 depositors would show $6,000,000 at the same ratio. There can be but one reason why 6,000 depositors have not patronized the One Cent Savings Bank, and that reason is lack of racial confidence. That amount of money has gone through the banks of Nashville, but for lack of racial confidence, it has failed to go through Negro banks. It is high time that our preachers, school-teachers, merchants, business men, professional men, heads of lodges, and officers of benevolent institutions were awakened to these things, and shown clearly that it is their duty to support this institution. The Progress Made by the One Cent Cent Savings Bank. The clearances of this institution for the past three years are as follows: In 1904 $317,743.81 In 1905 512,612.44 In 1906 576,859.73 Making a total.....$1,407,214.68 This million and a half has been safely and carefully handled by this Negro institution under the most trying and critical circumstances. The officers and executive committee of this bank have held themselves in readiness every day since the organization of this bank to meet the demands of its depositors in cash, dollar for dollar at an hour's notice. We boast that the One Cent Savings Bank is not only solvent, but has held itself in readiness each morning of every legal banking day in every year to meet a run on it by its depositors from 9 a.m. in the morning to the closing of its doors at 3 p.m. It could have handed out dollar for dollar to every de Given in Commemoration of Of its First Anniversary, Friday night, Jan. 11. THOSE PRESENT INDULGED IN SPEECH MAKING—SAYING SOME GOOD THINGS IN PRAISE OF THE GLOBE'S FIRST YEAR OF SPLENDID WORK IN THE JOURNALISTIC FIELD. The Globe Publishing Company, Messrs. Joseph O. Battle, president and editor; Charles H. Burrill, secretary; Henry A. Boyd, treasurer, and D. A. Hart, manager, gave a brilliant banquet in commemoration of the Globe's first anniversary in the arena of American journalism, to a select number of friends and those who have been most intimate, in one capacity or another, associated with it's first year's career. The management spared no cost nor pains to make the occasion all that could be desired in the way of festal plenty and enjoyment. Covers were laid for thirty and all were present save the secretary, who, it was regretted, was a little indisposed and did not attend. His absence was noted by all and expressions of regret were heard, touching the same. By nine o'clock all had arrived and were comfortably seated about the spacious dining room of the Spa indulging in general conversation, discussing and chatting on various subjects. Wit and merriment were in evidence in a pleasing way and every one seemed bent on adding and getting his or her part of the evening's enjoyment. It was indeed, a happy gathering, each of whom must have left any disagreeable thought or mental skeleton, if he had any such, hermetically sealed up at home. For there was not a sombre or preoccupied look upon any face to mar the festivities of the evening, so lithe gayety disported itself, and joy was with every guest. About 10 o'clock the "irrepressible Globe man," Henry A. Boyd, master of ceremonies, arose and breaking into the merry chatting, which was at its height, invited all to take their places around the banquet board, without making any particular assignment of places, save asking Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., to go to the head. Every one acceded to this invitation with alacrity, owing to the fact the inner man was begging the question. All being around the beautifully dressed banquet board, stood while the fluent, loquacious Henry A. Boyd, master of ceremonies, made an appropriate speech touching upon the object of the occasion and why the feast of good things had been specially prepared for those present. He said that the members of the Globe Publishing Company had deemed it fit to acknowledge the services rendered THE Globe by most of those present during its first year of existence by this humble, yet hearty, manifestation of their esteem and appreciation. Finishing his remarks, he asked Rev. Boyd, D. D., to offer the blessing for the occasion, after which all were seated and then began a banquet grander than that of Belshazzar's, because more orderly and conformable to the high decorum of a refined Christian civilization than that celebrated feast. Those present were as follows: Misses Hettie E. Phillips, Nannie I. Sumner, Nellie E. King, Mesdames D. A. Hart, Ida Harlan, Elvira De Berry, Harriet A. Boyd and Emma Battle, Messrs. Joseph O. Battle, Henry A. Boyd, D. A. Hart, Fred J. Ewing, Dan Hackley Winston, Geo. O. Boyd, J. Frank Battle, E. E. Cooper, of Washington, D. C.; R. H. Boyd, D. D., J. D. Crenshaw, Wyman Brady, A. T. Landers, L. S. Gray and J. Blaine Boyd. The master of ceremonies, in his happiest vein, made pithy, pointed introductory remarks appropriate to each. He called on every one present to say something and every one responded with a happy little speech, the child of the moment, save in one instance. The extempore speeches made contained much thought, wit and humor. The ladies DR. JOSSIE E. WELLS. Diseases of Women and Children. Electrical Massage Given at the Office. OFFICE.

Mrs. Emma Battle responded to the toast, "How does the mother of an editor feel?" She said, among other things, that she loved her son as all good mothers de, but that it certainly made her feel proud to have a son who is an editor. Miss Nellie E. King spoke to the toast, "The experiences of a proofreader on THE GLOBE." She told in a pretty little speech the "up and downs" of getting the matter sent in in shape for the press and the reading public. Mrs. Ida Harlan, speaking to the toast of "One of the first employees of the Globe Company," said that her connection with it had been pleasant. Miss Hettie E. Phillips told in a concise and pithy manner her experiences "As a Globe agent and reporter in East Nashville." Mrs. D. A. Hart was given a chance to say some humorous things in her response to "The Globe on Billy Goat Hill." Miss Nannie I. Sumner, in handling the toast, "The Globe as the outside world sees it," indulged in some jolly, laughable witticisms at the expense of the congenial editor and a long, lone editorial he had weeks ahead of time so he would not be bothered during Christmas week. Mrs. Elvira DeBerry, present clerk in the Globe office, in responding to "My work in the Globe office," said that she liked it better than any work in which she had ever been employed. Mrs. Harriet A. Boyd told "How a mother likes for her sons to be in the journalistic field." She said that she was indeed glad to know that she had reared sons who were-capable of so noble a calling. We will not recount the particular thought thrown out by the gentlemen present, but suffice it to say they measured up to the occasion with epigrammatic speeches which teemed with humorous, catchy sayings which brought forth rounds of laughter and applause. These speeches were not without other strong and pointed thoughts. One beautiful thing obtained, only the one speaking was deprived of partaking of the good things while he or she spoke—all others ate while they listened; but the advantage broke even as each one was called on to take his turn at speech-making. This banquet was given in commemoration of the progress made by the Globe in its first year of existence. Four capable men have watched over its fortune, steered its policy and shaped its destiny. The Globe came into existence as a much-needed weapon of defense, a champion of its people's right. For no higher mission could it have come into the field of journalism, than to take up the cause of its people, who are unjustly villified, maligned and abused in every section of this now (?) great country. There was that honest, earnest ring in the voice of this young champion as it stepped into the arena, armed cap-a-pie with pen and brains, to do battle—vigorous, strong battle—for the weak, that it became popular from the beginning. The Globe stands forth a popular idol with the people, because they know that their every interest will be subserved by it. On the Vulcan anvil of reason there are thunderbolts of facts and truths being forged to be hurled by the strong arm of this young Jupiter at the malignant heads of misrepresentation and the false sophistries of the enemies of an oppressed people. In conclusion, the hope is entertained that the Globe may celebrate each successive anniversary, in the coming years, with greater and more resplendent results attempted and achieved. Viva la Globe.

There is not a banking institution, trust company, nor any other institution in the city of Nashville that can show more. I again ask why is it we do not have the Negroes' patronage? I now assert as stockholders, depositors and customers of this institution, each of us ought to publish on the highways, from the platform and through the press, and tell our people of these facts, and demand of them at least a portion of their patronage.

After the president's annual address, Hon. J. C. Napier, the cashier, made a very inspiring speech. He referred partly to the confidence the bank had made among the individual depositors, its own stockholders and other financial institutions, which it is said ought to encourage more confidence among our own people. The statements show that only two months in the present year had fallen behind the monthly business during 1905. This, however, was overcome in the total, which was over $50,000 in business.

That the young men of the Globe are on hand when needed was evidenced a night or so ago, when one of them undoubtedly helped to save the life of a veteran equine on Jo Johnston avenue. The horse had fallen on the rails of the street car track and the two boys in the wagon came to the conclusion that it would require less energy to leave the poor brute on the track than to try and get him on his feet. The Good Samaritan of the Globe called for volunteers and in a very short time the decrepit quadruped was raised from the ground, the newspaper man acting as a prop until the animal had recovered his equilibrium. On account of the excellent showing of the trained nurses at Mercy Hospital, they are in great demand Church OrgansatYour Price. 1 ENTIRELY NEW DESIGN No. 5. FIVE OR SIX OCTAVE. SOLID OAK OR WALNUT.

National Baptist Publishing Board. 523 Second Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. APPOINTMENT OF EUGENE T. PAGE. Postmaster A. W. Wills in making up his new appointments to fill vacancies caused by death and promotion, did not fail to recognize the worthy and efficient men in the service. One of those to receive favorable recognition and one of whom all Nashville is proud, is Eugene T. Page, who has been in the service but a short while and who has worked faithfully, and has, it is said, made a very good clerk. He went in as a substitute, was then promoted to a probational clerkship, and now he receives the appointment as a regular clerk. This scores one for Nashville. It will be seen that proper recognition is given to our people when they go in with a determination to win, when they decide to win in spite of environments. The Postmaster also recommended the following promotions to fill the places made vacant by the death of Capt. L. L. Terry, Superintendent of the Mailing Department, and Edward Fuller, of the Money Order Division, and the vacancies occasioned by the promotions: W. J. O'Callaghan, Assistant Superintendent of Mails, to be promoted to the position of Superintendent of Money Order Division. MONEY ORDER W. J. Glascock, Transfer Clerk Railway Mail Service, to be transferred to the position of Superintendent Mailing Division. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1907. Albert Duling, Foreman Mailing Division, to be promoted to Assistant Superintendent Mailing Division. J. W. Thompson, Assistant Superintendent City Delivery System, salary to be increased to $1,400 per annum. W. H. Dinwiddle, substitute clerk, to be promoted to probationary clerk. John A. Hullibarger, to be made permanent clerk. James R. Morgan, salary to be increased to $700 per annum; Walter H. Wright, to $800; Richard P. Dews, to $900; A. D. Armstrong, to $1,000; J. L. Shaffer, to $1,100; William McKinstry, to $1,200. Several carriers who have been on the probationary list were made permanent and their salaries raised. THE WHITE FOLKS COMMIT CRIME. TOO. It seems that the white criminal element has tried to go their negro criminal contemporaries one better since that fatal September night. Practically every crime in the criminal code has been committed by some white outlaw during the months following the riot. During the past week a white bride of four weeks' honeymoon elopes with another man and leaves the groom grief-stricken and betrayed. Another white woman is indicted for murder, and two white men about town indicted for arson. An anarchist in Philadelphia enters a bank, demands a loan and when refused throws a bomb demolishing the institution, wrecks the building and leaves murder and misery in his wake. Detectives go a-gunning in the city and bag a covey of ten white gamblers in a bunch and run them in. It looks like since the riot the Negro criminals have got scarce and the police and detectives have no criminals to run in, they have turned their attention to the white gamblers, thugs and bums that they might have run out of town before the riot had they been inclined. White men have been committing all along many of the crimes charged to Negro thieves, but the police have been so busy hunting down Negro thieves, the white outlaws have had easy sailing. Crime knows no color, kith or kin, and any set of officers who presume that every crime committed in the community was committed by a certain race or sect, gives opportunity for every other sect in the community to become lawless and charge it to the sect suspected. Since the riot in this community the white criminals have led in rape, arson, robbery and every other crime. It now looks like somebody beside the Negro is criminal.—The Atlanta, Ga., Independent.

The Legislature of the state of Tennessee is now grinding away each day, save Saturday and Sunday. The mill at times does some good work, as will be seen from the work done Thursday. After some fussing and newspaper controversy they agreed to put out the bait to catch the big fish. What will the Negro get out of the famous Peabody fund? It seems that no mention of him is even made when it comes to handing around the educational money of the state. Tennessee gives less than any southern state to the Negro schools. It appears that the white people of Tennessee will lose their religion and break some of all of the Ten Commandments in gobbling up the famous Peabody fund for whites only. The Educational Committee of the House of Representatives Thursday morning unanimously recommended for passage the bill introduced by Representative McElroy, appropriating $250,000 for the Peabody College for Teachers, this being one of the conditions precedent to receiving the $1,500,000 endowment fund from the Peabody Board. This is a white school. Where will any of the Negro colleges profit and where will the Negro teacher get his training? The committee met in the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Capitol with a full attendance of members. Consideration of the Peabody appropriation bill was first taken up, and the vote in favor of its passage was without a negative expression from the committeemen present. Representative York's compulsory education bill was next taken up and read. Considerable opposition to the measure developed. The chair was authorized to name a sub-committee of five to take charge of this and other measures on the same subject, and report to the committee Friday. Messrs. Fielder, York, Boucher, Cottrell and Galloway were appointed on this subcommittee. Representative Worley's bill to amend the act creating a State Text Book Commission so as to require that depositories shall only appoint as agents those who are residents of the respective counties, was recommended for passage. Representative Galloway moved the appointment of a sub-committee of five to investigate the constitutionality of all bills submitted to the committee. This motion prevailed, and the Chairman appointed Messrs. Horton, McElroy, Tatum, Rambo and Worley. Alabama makes large donations to Tuskegee and the A. and M. College at Normal; Mississippi puts her money for the Negro youths at Alcorn; Kentucky gave liberally to Berea, and The State University; Texas supports the great Prairie View State Normal; North Carolina has her normals; the others do as much, but the proud Volunteer State will not let Walden, Fisk, Roger Williams, Nelson Merry, Turner Normal or the Knoxville College have one dime of the Peabody Fund. It has been rumored that this matter will be carried before some influential southern educators in the near future. $10,000 out of this would help to rebuild Roger Williams in an excellent location, as well as giving the needed impetus to starting the movement. WILL KNOWLES SCHOOL BE AGAIN NEGLECTED. What is to be done with Knowles School, is a question the taxpayers of the third ward are now awaiting an answer from the school board and the city fathers. Long ago it was deemed the most unfit building in the list of buildings now used for school purposes. The city concurred in this and accordingly the building inspector considered it as an unfit house for a school more than two years ago. It seems that the authorities have only paid enough attention to this condemnation to prop up the sides that were leaning and in a falling condition with large scantlings. The residents in that part of Nashville would not be at all surprised if some morning they would awake and find that the building had fallen of its own weight. There can certainly be no complaint that the house has not served its owners well, for like the giant oak of the forest, it has stood the storms of many severe winters, and the heat of some long summers. It has given good account of itself as a school, for it is said that Roger Williams was among the first schools to occupy it, when it was called "The Baptist College." Some of the old residents say the building has been in active service for about 46 years. When the college was moved the building was used as a district school until the city grew and took up the district, making it a city school, for which services it now appears to be unfit. This is not the only reason the building should be abandoned as a city school. One important thing that renders it unfit is its most undesirable and most awkward location; it borders the territory which it is supposed to serve. It is almost impossible to reach the school with a wagon or buggy even in summer. The pedestrians find they have quite a bargain to get over the rocks and crags—to reach the building. The citizens of the third ward are on bended knees, asking the authorities to not only remodel the building, but to move it on a better street, say either Jackson or Jefferson, between Twelfth avenue, North, and Eighteenth avenue, North. Either of these would give an ideal location and would balance up the distance for children coming from the end of Jefferson street or from the extreme northwest. The neighborhood is adapted to school purposes. There are hundreds of Negro families, all owning their own property, living in the vicinity just described. Move and rebuild Knowles School for Greater Nashville's sake. A meeting of parents and taxpayers of the third ward has been called for an early date to take such steps as will properly bring the matter up for consideration this spring and summer. Those having children attending the school are being urged to be present, lest they may be forced to take out accident policies for their children attending Knowles School in its present unsafe condition. LADIES' BELIEF SOCIETY. The Ladies' Relief Society, of East Nashville, will hold its next meeting Monday, January 21, at the residence of Mrs. Ellen Vance. No. 52 Seventh street.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOL- DIERS. ‘The findings of Mr. Purdy, assist ant to the Atforney-General, who was sent to Brownsville, Tex., by Presi: dent’ Roosevelt to gather evidence te api. the dismissal of the black bat talion, presents very little that has “not been made public heretofore. It “emphasizes, however, the fact that ‘only one side of the affair has been ‘The sworn statements made by the citizens of Brownsville, as exhibited ‘in the report, show that with time to ‘think, the affiants have done all in their power to make evidence for the chief prosecutor and executioner, Mr. “Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States. In their anxiety to make the case as strong as possible, some of those’ who swore as to the “shooting up” of the town have given evidence at variance with their for- mer statements. But, as Secretary Taft says, these discrepancies (to him- self and his chief) are immaterial, In bis message the President, hav- ing the testimony submitted by his lieutenants before him, takes the role of a special pleader and with accus- tomed vigor, almost Tillmanesque in its harshness, denounces the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry stationed at Brownsville on that memorable night, as midnight assassins. He concluded the message with the assertion that the men dismissed without honor will be allowed to re-enlist only after they have proved to his satisfaction that they are innocent. The closing paragraph of the mes- sage is the crux of the whole ques- tion. It has been before the Roosevelt regime, one of the cardinals of our system of government that a man is innocent of a crime until he is proven ‘guilty, and that the innocent should not suffer with the guilty, but the President thinks otherwise and has placed the burden, of proof on the dis- charged men. Thove is little, if any, desire upon the part of the people of the country to shield those who are guilty of murder, but there is an over- whelming sentiment against the in- nocent men being made the victims of executive lynch law. ‘ TILLMAN, é That firebrand of the Sena... Ben- Jamin Ryan Tillman, wbo dubs him- if the “cornfield lawyer,” but is ken of almost everywhere as the iouth demagogic “pitch fork” rep- tative from South Carolina, has een parading his views of the race roblem for the past week in Con- The cause of: his vitrolic ef- ostensibly, was the treatment ack battalion in the Browns- THR NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1907. ville affair. But it is the acceptea opinion that he was inspired mors by hatred of President Roosevelt, who ai one time withdrew an invitation which had been extended to Mr. Tillman be- cause the Jatter had engaged ‘a a fist fight on the floor of the Senate, than by any feelings which he might have of outraged justice. Mr. Tillman is not fully appreciated outside of Congress. He is taken too serjously. This rough and ready wind-jammer really presents a humor- ous picture as he pants in an effort to live up to the reputation he has made. How ludicrous it seems for a lawmaker who.a few weeks before, un- der the protection of Negro policemen and speaking against the very race to which his protectors belonged, had de- clared, “To heli with the law,” to be pouring out his rough, rash invectives against a man whose acts had but car- ried to its logical conclusion the anar- chistic declaration of the speaker. Tillman's a funny cuss. IMMIGRATION, In his inaugural address to the Al- abama legislature, Governor Comer sought to discourage the wholesale in- troduction of immigrants. He avers that Alabama, like other southern states, has been suffering too long from the low wage scale in vogue and at this time when the compensation paid labor is on the increase, thereby keeping in the state competent meu who formerly went elsewhere for em: ployment, it would™be suicidal to in- troduce a horde of foreigners. He also thinks that unless the immigrants are selected and persuaded to come from certain countries, the social status of the South is in danger of being rev- olutionized, Let the immigrants come. Assist them come, only don’t bring them here as the Negro was brought. Their coming will be a real help to the col- ored peopie of the South, as a few old world ideas are needed very much in this section. THE HORIZON. The Grose is in receipt of the first issue of The Horizon, a monthly mag- azine published at Washington, D, C., by F. H, M. Murray, L. H. Hershaw and W. E, B. DuBois. The journai which reminds one very much of The Philistine, is a creditable production and with three such brilliant men as owners, editors, and publishers, should be as unique in Negro journalism as it is “different” in appearance from anything else that has heretofore ay- peared bearing the imprint of a Ne sro firm. We hope, however, these brainy men will not devote the ma- jor portion of their production to a fight on Booker Washington. Gen- tlemen, accept the advice of well- wishing friends, though we be ne- ophytes, as it were in journalism, and give us something “different” by leaving off your warfare on Washing: ton and his supporters. The price of The Horizon is fifty cents a year. Mayor Morris, it seems, unlike the mayors of other southern cities, has no power to prevent the appearance of “The Clansman” at one of the locai theatres, If this be true, then there is need of changes in the charter of Nashville which will give the Mayor power to stop such pernicious produc- tions, It is such base caricatures as this one, such distortion of facts, sucn exaggeration of the bad characterts- ties of our race by demagogues like Dixon, who profit monetarily from their vile work, that makes the race question acute in this section, The charter may not say that the Mayor has the power to stop vicious plays, but it certainly gives him power to abate @ nuisance and with the feelings of the people wrought up by the race question throughout the South, tne production or “The Clansman” is worse than a nuisance; it is likely to prove a crime, . The “cornfield lawyer,” from South Carolina, is not much of a prophet. He said in his speech last Saturday that the discharged colored soldiers would not return to Texas, On the same day a former soldier of the hat- talion applied for reenlistment at Ei Paso, Texas, and was refused. Mr. Tillman is in error also as to Sergt. Mingo Sanders being afraid to return to South Carolina, his native state, Sergt. Sanders, during his term of service. which extended over a quar ter of a century, never showed the white feather in the face of armed men, white or black, red or brown, grizzled’ or gray,, and he is now too old to learn to fear men of the Till. man stamp, If W. J. Oliver is awarded the con: tract to build the Panama Canal, Ne- groes will be used on the job. Mr, Oliver declared before the recent Im migration Convention that he had tried almost every race and found that the Negro was the most satisfactory worker on earth, Before Senator Edward Ward Car- mack was' defeated for re-election he said that Roosevelt’s natural gait was running away. Our “red-headed,” soon to be ex-Senator, is now defend- ing the President, but then Ned has been repudiated by the people of Ten- nessee. Innocent men were massacred in the Atlanta riots. We have never heard that Mr. Roosevelt had expressed pub- licly his opinion of the brutal out- rage. Did he enter a “conspiracy of of silence” to protect the assassins. Sheriff Johns is to be congratulated for his effort to close the saloons which do busincss on Sunday in the immediate neighborhood of the col- ored churches. Keep up the good work. The Hon. John I. Cox, as the time for his retirement as Governor ap- proached, tried to break Ex- Governor Bob Taylor's regord for granting pardons, If, as Tom Reed once said, “A states- man is a dead politician,” Tennessee would haye enough statesmen to sup- ply the world, if an earthquake should clean Capitol Hill, The Grose is indebted to the Hon. John Wesley Gaines, the energetic member of Congress from this the Hermitage district, for the daily issue of the Congressional Record, CORRECTIONS. oe es ee eee wrens © CUOUECEMD.

THOMAS WHITE. 1516 Hamilton street, Nashville, Tenn. From the Treasurer of the Drivers’ Mutual Aid Association, To the Nashville Globe: In your issue of January 11, 1997, there appeared an account of the an- nual banquet and installation of the Drivers’ Mutual Aid Association, A statment in which it is my desire to correct, as it does our society great in- justice, We feel very grateful to you and Mr. Hart, one of the reporters, however, for the excellent report of our banquet. The Association, with two exceptions, is composed of men who make their living by the “sweat of their brow.” The part of the article that we wish corrected is that which says, “Only one feature of this organization noticeable that deserves criticism and that is they make all of ¢heir deposits in banks operated by white men, ignoring en- tirely their own, the One Cent Sav- ings Bank.” Our Association has done as much for the upbuilding of the col- ored race as any institution in Nash- ville. Had the reporter made inquiries of the officials concerning the state- ment printed in the paper he would have received the following facts: We haye deposited in the One Cent Say- ings Bank since Jan, 16, 1904, $1,066,- 30, and we are still making deposits in the same bank, through which we do all of our business, and I am pleased to say that the officers of that insti- tution show us every courtesy that could be shown. .Our Association is not a secret society and the officials will be glad at any time to furnish you with any information that will be of interest to-you or the reading pub- lie. We ask you in justice to us to correct the discrepancies in your ar- ticle of last week. 2 WM. C. FOSTER, ‘Treasurer of Drivers’ Mutual Aid Association. . Nashville, Jan. 14, 1907.

Bhp EDITOR BROWN’S OPINION OF THE GLOBE. seyond preadventure, the most brilliant journalistic yearling in the race is the Nashville Globe, which with its last issue entered the class of the two-year olds. We have re- frained from discussing The Globe during the period of its swaddling clothes, fearing that our inrepressi- ble friendship for its editors and pub- lishers would soften our expression with sentiment, and would smother it in its infancy, but The Globe has grown so rapidly (in fact, it appears to have been quite like the Green- ville devil—born with full adoles- cence, from its horn to its terminal appendage) that_we should be par- doned for the pride we feel at its wonderful success, This excellent. hebdomadal started right. It first acquired the very best mechanical support, then brains: and you may be assured that every line of the editorial and contributed mat- ter is mixed with brains, sir. It is, however, a little short of wonderful that The Globe should come out, a mere fledging, and in one year take its place among the fore- most newspapers published by the colored people in the United States. In editorial tone it is fearless and rings true for the race every time. Forsooth, Editor Joe Battle in the pi- lot house seems to have forgotten, or never to have known how to “ring backing bells.” His page breathes a fine spirit of forwardness and accom- plishment, and intelligent contention tor racial rights. Indeed, we are be- ginning to look upon The Globe as the race’s fighting arm in the South, and a first-class fighting arm it is, to be sure, Withal, we congratulate The Globe upon its successful year; we congrat- ulate The Globe and the staff that makes it wonderful, from young Charlie Burrill up to old Dock Hart. —The Morning News. Hopkinsville, Ky. “THEY DO PROTEST TOO MUCH.” Singular isn't the United States Government has to do so much apol- igizing these days. It was never so before. When the President saw fit to discharge three companies of col- ored soldiers for alleged rioting, the statement was given out that color had nothing to do with the matter in the least; the same thing would have happened if the troops had been white. Now it has been decided that all of the colored troops must go to the Philippines for duty, and at once the statement is given out that there is no color line in the matter, simply that the turn of these troops has come to do “foreign” duty. Who said anything about color, and why do the powers that be protest so earnestly that there is no color in the matter? There seems to be an Irishman in the woodpile somewhere. There is entirely too much protesting about everything concerning colored folks these days.

My pay for fold- ing the papers was 26 cents, They gave me one day’s work each week, and 1 bought schoolbooks with the money. After school was out t pI in all my spare time about the office, doing odd jobs for the editor and. printers, never dreaming that I would — ever set type like those fellows.

As a result of their teachings, for the past ten years or more 1 have put in type the leading editor ial writings of Mr. Milner’s pen, als oO all the large page and half-page ade) vertisements that have appeared in the paper during this time.” 7 “I have been with the paper twen-_ ty-two years, excepting six mi ; when I was employed on the County News.

That body of strong, sterling men will find in this young director a man of push and grit, hopeful and a hard worker—qualities which count for much and mean accomplishment of whatever is undertaken.

Society was given a rare treat on Saturday evening, January 12, when it was entertained at a banquet by the Railway Protective Association in their rooms corner Tenth avenue, North, and Cedar street. This Association has just entered into its third year; yet it has made effective inroads among the people of Nashville. Sentiment is decidedly in their favor, as their work has proven in every way commendable. They direct particular efforts towards caring for the sick, the disabled and unfortunate railway employees, who will connect themselves with the organization. It has been their custom these past three years to give in some way a public entertainment which will bring around them Nashville's good citizens. Saturday evening was not an exception to the rule. Invitations had already been sent out and in response, several hundred were present to give their approval to this event. A supper was spread on the center table and when all had been comfortably seated in the large dining room, it was found that there were yet scores of guests standing. Arrangements were made in the next room, where chairs were placed to accommodate the ladies. Most of the gentlemen were forced to stand. The dining room table contained supper for more than 300 guests. Rev. Preston Taylor, the president of the organization, called the house to order and in a neat speech informed those present of the intentions of the organization. He said that all working people needed to be guided, especially in the saving habit and in economic living, and that he hoped those employees not yet connected with the Association would soon identify themselves. Here prayer was offered, after which the ladies began to serve supper, which consisted of ham sandwiches, turkey, salad on lettuce leaves, celery, pickles, lemonade, cream, cake and fruit. While this was being consumed, Mr. J. C. Napier was called on and delivered one of his good speeches and received hearty applause from the audience. He took occasion to call the attention of the Association and its members to the past record of some he had known and to whom he referred with pride that had long supported one of the creditable institutions in Nashville, the One Cent Savings Bank. He hoped that they would continue. Mr. G. W Wilson, of Chattanooga, then ad dressed the Association. Mr. D. A. Hart, of the Globe Publishing Company, was next introduced. He said that he was there by special invitation. He had missed the last annual banquet and had continued to kick himself until now. Although he had other pressing invitations he felt it his duty to come and mingle with the railroad employees, and tell them that the Globe would chronicle their good, as well as their bad actions in the future. Heretofore, they had only told of the good. He solicited their patronage. Mr. Henry A. Boyd, Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, was also introduced. He apologized for the flattering introduction and said that the assistant secretaryship as given out in the introduction did not prevent him from feeling that it was an honor to be invited to such an occasion. He believed that all men who had accomplished something in life ought to be followed and their examples exemplified in the young men, and that the present officers of this Association were a credit to it. He believed the time would come when Negroes would unite and present, not only in the social, but in the commercial and business world, a solid phalanx. Many ladies were in the audience. The St. John choir, under the leadership of Prof. Chas. H. Kelly, rendered choice music. Several solos were rendered. Much credit for the success of this entertainment is due to the officers and committee. Especially is this true in the case of Mr. William D. Boger, secretary. A number of visiting railway men were present. Some of them as follows: Thomas Carter, Berryman Ramsey, Matthew Carter, Monroe Bunch, Felix Tublis, John Dolow, George Donlow, Vim. McKoy, Sam Spicer, Allen Tubbs, all of Box, Tenn., L. C. Knight, of Dickson, Tenn.; G. W. Wilson and Alfred Wofford, of Chattanooga, Tenn. THE RAILWAY PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.

One of the most’ interesting and profitable meetings. of the Day Home Club was held in the rooms of the Home ‘at 618 Fourth avenue, South, Monday afternoon. Notwithstanding this was'a called meeting it was well attended. The officers in particular were on time. Mrs. Napiet, the presi- dent, called the meeting to order promptly at 3 o'clock. They at once took up the pressing business, which necessitated this extra meeting, all of whieh was'for the good of the Home. Some new provisions were made in the constitution which created the office of second vice president, which was given to Mrs; J. B. Boseley, and the office of physician-in-charge, which was’ given to Dr. Josie . Wells. It is the inten- tion of the Day Home Club, as they grow, to create vice presidents for the yarious wards in‘the city. These vice presidents are to have charge of their surround.ng localities. All are to work in harmony with the chief executive. It is hoped that, as near as possible, the vice president will, by the aid of members and friends, bring such pres- sure to bear upon disinterested parties that the Home will grow rapidly and permanently. It was indeed encourag: ing to note that a large number of do- nations had been made in cash as well as furniture and clothing. The Secre- tary, Mzs. Carter, noted the following DE er at age ls ee laa Dr. R. FB. Boyd... ce eeeee sree e+ 85.00 Mr. J, C. Napier .......sesee++ 5.00 Miss May Spencer. ..........+++ 4.00 Dr. B. B.

The Club feels grateful to many of the citizens of Nashville for their generous gifts to the Home. Rev. Preston Taylor furnished one: room complete, while ‘one quilt, one sheet, one pair of blank- ets, six towels, four yards of crash came from the Caster-Knot Dry Goods Co.; one comfort from Mrs. Woods; one chair and school books from Mr. W. T. Hightower; one quilt from Mr. Richard Harris, Jr.; clothing from Dr. Jefferson Lytton; one pair feather pil- lows from Mrs. BH. B, Gibson; one child’s bed, one cradle and two com- forts from Mrs. Fanie Nixon; one dresser and one chair from Mrs. Spen- cer Jackson. i ‘The efforts of making the Home felt in Nashville, and at the same time meet the demand is a herculean task. Yet it 1s being accomplished. The su perintendent of the Home is proving to be an efficient woman in every respect. Owing to the amount of business, which consumed the entire afternoon, they were forced to adjourn, Another meeting having been set for Wednes: day afternoon, January 23, 3p. m. It is hoped that a large attendance will be present. ) sf NATIONAL SESSION ALLEN CHRIS- TIAN ENDEAVOR LEAGUE TO MEET HERE. The Society was Organized In 1900— Mass Meeting at St. John Wednes- day Night, January 23—Five Thous- and Delegates Expected to Attend the Gathering which Convenes in July. What will be one ef the most im- portant meetings as regards scope and national character, is the first session of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, that will convene here some time during the month of July. This society was organized in 1900 by Mr. B, W. Arnett, Jr., son of the late Bish- op B. W. Arnett (of the A. M. B. Chureh, It is fashioned after the style of the societies for the young people in most of the church denominations the effort being to foster a spirit of love for church work among the juvenile departments. The convention will be held at the St. John A. M, E. Church, on the corner of Highth avenue, North, and Cedar street, and the pastor, Dr. 't. W. Haigler, who is also the State Superintendent, is rallying his forces to prepare for the reception of the meeting. Great stress is being laid on this session as it is initiatory, and the general seceretary, Rev. Blias J. Gregg, of Jacksonville, Fla., is making strenuous efforts to attain success. Delegates will be here from every state in the Union, and from West and South Africa, as well as the East and West Indies. A mass meeting will be held at St. John A. M. B, Church on next Wednesday night which will be participated in by all the African Meth- cdist churches in the city and vicinity. The general secretary, Dr. Gregg, will be present to participate in the meet: ing, and it is thought that several of the Bishops and general officers will be here also. Attempt will be made on Wednesday night to appoint a commit tee to arrange for the reception and entertainment of the delegates. It is the opinion of those in po sition to best estimate, that fully five thousand delegates will attend, an¢ homes’ will have to be provided for |them, The board rate has been fixe: | at $1.00 per day, so Nashville, accord ‘ing to estimates will be over $25,00( | richer by having entertained thes '|delegates. Dr, Hatgler, in speaking o '|the meeting, sald that it would not b jonly an African Methodist affair, bu ,| it: would: be more @ race affair, as 1 would be impossible for the Africa : Methodists to entertain the number that are expected.’ He said the hom : committee would be instructed to s8¢ ;|cure home wherever possible and t ,| Secure’ the best. -| _ A mass meeting was held last Sur day at Salem Chapel A. M. EB. Churct \land’a great deal of inferest was man "|fested despite the fact that it raine ‘lthe best part of the afternoon. Thi >| meeting was under the auspices of th >| local league, of which Rev. Wm. Flag '! pastor of the Payne Chapel A. M. I ‘! Church, is president; Miss Mattie 1 | Topp, secretary, and Miss Lizzie Dicl ; erson, treasurer. The league consist of all the churches in the city an | vicinity. | At the meeting to be held at S '|John A. M, if. Church, on Wednesda "| night, January 23, each league ts to b i|represented by delegates, and th "| churehes that have no league will sen | representatives also. Those behind th >| meeting express themselves as desi [ous of a general awakening among a 7 of the churches. 7 Dr. Welch, the presiding elder of th district, was seen by a Globe report | and he said he was very much encot aged as to the outlook, and believe lthat a great meeting would be ar Plthat much good would be acco | Plished. Tt-was through the efforts Dr. Welch that Nashville secured th "i convention, . He was at the session the Bishops’ Council in Washingto “Dp. C., last July, and presented tl d| claims of Nashville, and was succes | ful in his efforts, although Atlanta ar * {other cities made strong bids. SMYRNA NOTES. Mrs. Ellen ©. Elliott, of Hot Springs, Ark., proprietress of the Blliott Flat, arrived last Thursday to spend a few days at the home of her mother, Mrs. A. L. Perry. ‘The new officers of the Mt. Zion Bap- tsit Sunday School are Miss Mabel Brown, Secretary; Mrs. M. ©. Wade, Assistant Secretary, and R. L. Perry, eae All the officers of the Sand Hill Union Sunday School were re-elected. Since its organization it has been us- ing the National Baptist literature, in- troduced by R. L. Perry, without any complaint whatever; but now this school has decided to use literature of the Methodist denomination. We thank the National Baptist Publishing Board for their kindness and the assistance rendered us during the three years past. Mr. J. W.

The patient is do ing nicely and 's on the road to re covery, Dr. Woodson is a product of Mehar ry Medical College and one of Nash ville's own sons. This is one of th many difficult cases that have passe successfully under his careful atten tion. Ses, VICTORIA CLARK GETS CLEM- ENCY. Just before going out of office as the Governor of the State of Tennessee, Hon. John I. Cox seems to have had “a warm spot” in his heart for the unfortunate prisoners—no small num- ber figured in his list for executive clemency. Among the last to be fa- vored was Victoria Clark. Davidson County, under a fifteen-year sentence charged with the murder of Ed. Lewis, in July, 1905. Her sentence was com- muted to four years upon recommend- ation of the Advisory Board and many prominent citizens. MRS. MAGNOLIA BYRDSONG AT THE BLIND SCHOOL.

Tidings from the state of Georgia, seem to indicate that the ministers from Nashville, regardless of the de- nomination, are holding their own. Dr. C. H. Clark left a week ago for Savannah to conduct a revival for Dr. Carr. The following letter will show that the Lord is blessing his work: Savannah, Ga,, Jan. 14, 1907. Mr, H. A. Boyd: Dear Brother:—The Lord is in this place. I arrived on time Thursday morning, iound Dr. Carr awaiting my arrival. I preached Thursday night to a crowded house and had five con yerts. Friday night we had nine, and nine Sunday morning, and Sunday night we had eighteen conversions ‘These were all men but five; two of the five being women, and three chil dren. There has been forty-four ad. ditions to the church since I arrived the average being about 14 converts a day. The city is stirred. I spoke to the city ministers this morning fo} one hour, and the Lord blessed my talk. God bless you and yours. Love to all, IT am as ever, Yours in Christ, Cc. H. CLARK. A PUBLIC DISGRACE. Harrison street, which begins at ‘Third avenue and runs to Twelfth, has become one of the principal thor- oughfares of the city and just why it is the worst kept is a question the people of Nashville would like to know. _Afoles are as numerous on Harrisof as they are in the spring time in the clay bottoms, where craw- fish frequent. If you are the least sleepy and drive from Third avenue, North, to Twelfth on this street, you will find that the rocking of your ve- hicle will put you in dreamland, and yet’ the powers that be cannot see that this street needs attention. Elec- tion time is coming, and they maybe this street will receive some attention Deesgetasi MARRIAGES. Philip Ellis and Viola Glascoe. Charlie Burrus and Carrie McGav- ock.

Joe Gans is hard at work in preparation for his battle with Jimmy Britt on March 17. He is still the favorite in the betting and will go in a two or three to one choice. The knowing ones cannot figure how he can lose, although Britt has a strong following. His backers have confidence in and believe he can win. Time is a fortune teller, and will have to decide this case. The balmy days make the fans think of the grassy plot. They are beginning to crowd out of their winter quarters and cast around for some one to discuss the present, past and future. Much speculation is being indulged in as to what steps, if any, will be taken to secure a plot and build a park for athletics. A Globe reporter called to see Mr. Preston Taylor, the manager of Greenwood Park, to ascertain whether or not he intended to build an athletic field out there by time the season opened, but he was out of the city and nothing could be learned.

FOUR WOMEN IN A FIGHT. FOUR WOMEN IN A FIGHT. Last Friday evening between the hours of 6 and 7 four infuriated women were "fighting like tigers" on Fifth avenue, South, between Broadway and the stables of Cornellius & Co., the undertakers. The racket could be heard for a block or so. A Globe representative chanced to be passing during the heat of the battle, and noticing that the life of one combatant was in danger, as her antagonist was administering to her a fearful beating with a peker, rushed into the fray, snatched the poker from the hands of the irate female, and beat a hasty retreat down the street. Not a policeman was in sight during the disturbance. FRANKLIN NOTES. Miss Hazel Doyle has returned to her school in South Franklin. Mr. Hugh Nevils is a little indisposed.
