THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they hustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. VOL. II. TO PROMINENT COLORED AND WHITE MEN OF THE CITY. HE SHOWED THAT CHRISTIANITY, UNDER THE WORKINGS OF TRUE SERVICE, LOVE AND SACRIFICE, WOULD SOLVE ALL THE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS NOW VEXING MEN. In the columns of the Globe of February 15, on the second page, appeared under the caption, "Prominent Divine Coming," an announcement setting forth that through the efforts of Rev. J. B. Currey and Dr. Lamburt, of this city, Dr. Josiah Strong, an eminent minister and author, of Buffalo, N. Y., would visit Nashville on February 20. It was desired by these gentlemen that the leading ministers, professional and business men (colored) of Nashville should be given an opportunity to hear this distinguished author. A Globe reporter was on the scene at 10 o'clock according to appointment. On arriving he found the new chapel on the fourth floor of the Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South, filled almost to its capacity. The faces of the leading colored divines, professors, doctors, lawyers, merchants and bankers were prominent. Dr. J. B. Currey (white) opened the meeting with a few remarks, stating that Dr. Strong was in the city the guest of Dr. Lamburt. He was suffering some from fresh cold and possibly he would be delayed ten or fifteen minutes, but that he desired that the time should be profitably spent by hearing brief remarks from leading colored men setting forth their opinion of the new move to inaugurate a better relation between the two races in Nashville. Dr. I. H. Welch, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. Henderson, Dean of Theology at Fisk University and Dr. R. H. Boyd. President of the One Cent Savings Bank and Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board each made brief statements. During this time Dr. Strong made his appearance in company with Dr. Lambuth. After a brief introduction by Dr. Currey, Dr. Strong arose and in his clear and cool manner apologized, explaining that he was suffering from considerable hoarseness, but said that if he was going to preach a sermon to the gentlemen present, he would use this text, "Behold, I make all things new." Dr. Strong started out by narrating a story, stating that Mrs. Russell Sage had in her possession a letter written by an English lady to a friend one hundred years ago, giving her a description of a trip on a little boat from New York City to Albany and returning, which required seventeen days. He said that invention and science had made such rapid progress that the Atlantic Ocean could be crossed, the continent of Europe could be entered as far as Constantinople and return in the same length of time. He said that what was true in the changes of speed and comfort of travel in this country was also true in the new development of all others—wealth, science and knowledge. He said that a majority of the world's wealth and knowledge had been accumulated within the last one hundred years, or during the nineteenth century. Hence, if God would give a new revelation to this country he would again say, "Behold, I make all things new." The speaker then went direct to the subject and showed that the rapid increase in wealth, science, discovery and inventions had made the people as a nation more dependent, one upon the other. He referred to the eighteenth century as the "Homespun" age, in which the family was the one unit of social development, but that to-day the world or the entire government or nation was simply one great family, each individual dependent upon the other. He illustrated this by showing the late anthracite coal strike of Pennsylvania and showing that the strike of a few miners had within a few weeks, discomposed more than twenty million people. He then illustrated our railroad systems, telegraphic and telephone systems, our steam and electrical convenances our cities with their scientific electric light plants, water works and sewerage systems and showed that people in our great municipalities were so crowded together, coming as they do THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1907. from the various governments and various nationalities, and yet were huddled together as one family, each depending upon the other. He showed that the great questions arising were not questions that could be settled by political issues, but to be settled like all financial questions, commercial questions, labor problems, and sociological questions or problems—must be settled upon the Christ plan. He said that the old theology and theologians had misunderstood and misinterpreted the purpose of Christ's coming to the earth. The old idea was that Christ's purpose for visiting the earth was to increase the census or population of Heaven and that his greatest mission, his greatest argument was to persuade men from earth to Heaven, but that nothing could be more foreign from the teachings of Christ. He said that this old idea of both the theologians and the scientists was to set forth a theory and then look for facts to support it; but that the new theologians and the new scientists looked for all the facts both in the Bible and in nature, summed them up and then applied the best theory. And this new theory and new theology had made the world rich in wealth, rich in Christianity, and rich in knowledge. He said that so soon as each man could be taught to understand his proper relation to his fellow brother, all these problems would be readily settled, and then, and not until then, would the kingdom of God come. At the close of his address, Dr. Lambuth arose and spoke of starting to Japan within the next few days to assist in organizing the United Methodist Church of Japan, to be composed of the Methodist churches of the South, East and of Canada. He asked the prayers of all present for divine guidance. He also explained that the Minister's Conference had done all in its power to prevent the appearance of "The Clansman" on the stage in this city a few weeks ago; that they offered to pay the rent of the opera house in full if prevented; that they had not succeeded, but that the efforts to suppress the "Clansman" had awakened a great idea of Christian responsibility among the Christian citizenship of Nashville, and assured the colored representatives that the better element of the Southern whites were willing to join heart and hand with them for bettering their condition in this country. After which, Dr Chappelle, Hon. J. C. Napier and a number of gentlemen present expressed their high appreciation for the visit of Dr. Strong and assured him that they believed this to be the beginning of a "New Era" in the city of Nashville. REV. W. S. ELLINGTON'S MOTHER DIES IN MEMPHIS. Rev. W. S. Ellington, who was summoned last Sunday afternoon to Memphis on account of the death of his mother, has returned to the city. His trip was indeed a sad one. He did not know that his mother was even ill and states that it was one of the remarkable cases where a person is hale and heathy one day and a corpse the next. Last Saturday his mother was visiting some of her children, who reside in Lake View, Miss. After hearing a rumor that Rev. Mr. Ellington would breach in Memphis last Sunday she became very eager to return, and immediately boarded the train for Memphis. When she arrived there she found that the report was only a rumor; yet this disappointment did not seem to affect her, and she began in her usual joyful way to entertain the children. Saturday night she was taken very ill and the entire family was summoned to her bedside. Physicians were called in the early hours of the morning, but in spite of their efforts to relieve the sufferer, she grew worse. Finally she succumbed to the Angel of Death at ten o'clock Sunday morning. Rev. Ellington left Sunday night at 11:30, arriving in Memphis Monday morning, at 8 o'clock, where all of the children, including four boys and three girls, children of the deceased, had met to pay their last respects. Mrs. Ellington was 77 years old and has raised her family principally alone, her husband having died twenty years ago last June. She had a remarkable record as a Christian woman and worker. She was 40 years a member of the same church at Galloway, Tenn., where all of her children spent their childhood days, and where her remains were interred in the church yard. Rev. Mr. Ellington returned Tuesday evening and was joined by a Globe reporter at Hollowrock Junction. Hundreds of friends in Memphis, at the old home, and in Nashville, join in sympathy with him in his hour of bereavement. The floral designs and the many tokens of true, life long friendship were offered by hundred of friends. GORRESPONDING SECRETARY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR DEPARTMENT A. M. E. CHUR H IN THE CITY. MASS MEETING HELD AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH—DR. GREGG SPEAKS WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT — ESTIMATES THAT BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE THOUSAND DELEGATES WILL ATTEND. The Allen Christian Endeavor Leagues of the city met at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Local Union of the city in mass meeting. The center of attraction was the fact that it had been previously announced that Rev. E. J. Gregg, the Corresponding Secretary, of Jacksonville, Fla., would be present, and that final preparations would be made to organize the local leagues for the work preparatory to entertaining the first session of the National Convention of Allen Endeavors of the African Methodist Episcopal Church that will convene here in July from the 2nd to the 8th inclusive. The meeting was opened with devotional services. Rev. Edwards, pastor of Salem A. M. E. Church, offered prayer. The scripture lesson was read by Dr. I. H. Welch, presiding elder of the Nashville District. Rev. Wm. Flagg, pastor of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, and president of the Local Union, stated the object of the meeting, and outlined the work that had been accomplished. He stated that Dr. T. W. Haigler, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, and superintendent of the League work in Tennessee, was present and would introduce the General Secretary. Dr. Haigler said that he was about to present a man who had already made his mark in the world, and who was to day one of the leading thinkers in the country, and it was a great pleasure to him to introduce to the meeting Dr. E. J. Gregg, of Jacksonville, Fla., Corresponding Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor Department of the A. M. E. Church. Dr Gregg stated that he had been on the train for several hours, and while en route his continuous prayer was that the train would land him in Nashville on time, and he felt that his prayer had been answered. Without any extra preliminary remarks the noted divine spoke right to the point. Speaking of the progress of his work, he said: "The first year we reported three hundred leagues: the second year, five hundred:" and last Monday his record showed that over one thousand leagues were registered on his books, allowing for one hundred and ten that had lapsed. He said that he would not say that ten thousand delegates would attend the convention, for it was not his desire to deceive the people; but he felt certain that he was conservative in saving that between three and five thousand delegates would visit this city in July. He said that as yet all of the pastors did not understand the work, and that when they did much more would be accomplished. He said, "I am of the same opinion that Abraham Lincoln was. I have never lost faith in the people. The people are all right. The fault is in the ministers." The roll was called and the following leagues were represented: St Paul. Payne Chapel, Salem Chapel and St. John. The General Secretary read the list of committees to be appointed and defined their work. He urged that the best talent be selected and that a limited effort be put forth. Another setting was arranged to meet at St. John A. M. E. Church, on Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. --- BANQUET TO THE ENDOWMENT BOARD, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS It is seldom that a more representative body of Pythians have been assembled in Nashville than that which gathered at Wells' Cafe. Friday night to banquet the members of the Endowment Board of the Order of Knights of Pythias. Men representing the various walks of life from which the membership of this great Order is composed met and vied with each other, as it were, in doing honor to the men who have so successfully administered to the endowment funds of the Order as to draw forth the highest encomiums from the state insurance department. The banquet was under the auspices of the Past Chancellors Council of this city. The guests were seated around one long table with the toastmaster, Sir E. C. McNairy, and Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. P. Crawford, at the head; Grand Worthy Councillor, Dr. R. F. Boyd, of the Court of Calanthe, at the foot, while the members of the Endowment Board were seated to the right and the left of the head of the table. The excellent supper, which had been prepared by the Knight Wells in his usual sumptuous style, and served in courses, had about reached the second to the last course, when the toastmaster, in his inimitable style, welcomed the guests of the evening and introduced Dr. J. P. Crawford, the Grand Chancellor, who responded to the toast: "Progress of Pythianism in Tennessee." Dr. Crawford eloquently traced the growth of the Grand Lodge from its inception, when there were only eleven lodges in the state, to the present time when the number is near the one hundred mark. He pictured the misgivings which many of the members of the state felt when the Lodge decided to assume the endowment and recited a few figures to show how successful the said department had proven. When he said that the funds of the department had grown to a total in excess of $13,000, his auditors burst into applause. The next speaker on the program was Dr. R. F. Boyd, Supreme Medical Registrar, Surgeon General of the Uniform Rank, Grand Worthy Councillor of the Court of Calanthe, who responded to the toast, "Success and Its Attainments." Dr. Boyd gave some of the early history of Pythianism in Nashville, as he recollected it, and then branching to the Court of Calanthe, he eulogized the work of the women's department, showing how against handicaps, the department had met such glowing success. Other responses were made by N. N. Reynolds, Grand Lecturer of the Court of Calanthe, and District Grand Deputy of the Knights of Pythias, of Pulaski, Tenn.; W. F. Reynolds, President of the Endowment Board, of Franklin; B. F. Johnson, Treasurer of the Endowment Board, Chattanooga; B. J. Fernandis, member of the Endowment Board, Memphis; Dr. A. M. Townsend, Grand Medical Registrar; J. B. Batte, John Cunningham. At the conclusion of the remarks of Sir Cunningham, Sir J. O. Battle arose and after a few introductory remarks, offered the following resolutions: Whereas, We, the members of the Past Chancellors' and guests assembled to banquet the members of the Endowment Board, note the absence of our dearly beloved brother, Sir W. L. Cansler, Secretary of the Endowment and a pioneer of the work in the state; therefore be it Resolved. That we hereby express our heartfelt regret that our true and tried brother is prevented from being with us on account of illness, and we hereby tender to him our sympathy and testify our hope that he will soon be returned to us completely restored in health. Be it further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to our stricken brother and a copy furnished the Nashville Globe for publication. On motion of Sir S, P. Harris, who also spoke of the work of Prof Cansler, the resolutions were adopted unanimously by a rising vote. Sir A. W. Gleaves, Grand Outer Guard, pronounced the benediction. Guard, pronounced the benediction. Those present were: B. J. Fernandis, Memphis; B. F. Johnson, Chattanooga; W. F. Reynolds, Franklin; N. N. Reynolds, Pulaski; Moses McKissick, Pulaski; Dr. J. P. Crawford, T. O. Battle, S. P. Harris, R. E. Gee, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Porter D. Strucator, Daniel Carter, Green F. Anderson, A. W. Gleaves, John Cunningham, J. W. Blaine, J. B. Batte, T. Clay Moore, E. C. McNairy, Dr. A. M. Townsend, R. L. Mayfield. DONATION PARTY. A number of benevolent members of 106 met at the residence of Mrs. Annie Gouch, of Lafayette street, Monday night to storm Mr. and Mrs. Steward. Baskets were filled with provisions. At 8:30 o'clock the members marched to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steward, of Maury street. Beautiful songs were sung on entering the hall. The family was overjoyed, as Mr. Steward has been confined to his bed for three months. Mr. Steward has a wife and small children who need a helping hand during his sickness. Prayer was offered by Mr. Leigon; song by Mrs. Rosie Brown, after which the members left for their home. No. 7. THEY WERE RIVALS FOR WHITE MAN'S BLANDISHMENTS THE BLOODY SEQUEL OF THE LOVE AFFAIR BETWEEN THESE TWO YOUNG NEGRO WOMEN AND THEIR WHITE PARAMOUR SHOULD BE WARNING TO THOSE SIMILARLY INVOLVED. The common saying, when there is a tragic difficulty between men, that a woman is at the bottom of it, is reversed in the tragedy enacted in the alley back of Seventeenth avenue between State and Patterson streets, Sunday night, Feb. 17, by Renda Dilliar and Mollie Thompson. The cause of this fatal encounter, it is said, was a white man. He was playing court to these two dusky damsels and this double dealing on his part when discovered aroused the green-eyed monster, jealousy, which had its tragic sequel in the death of one of the rascal's paramours Sunday night. There are many such scamps as this one masquerading up and down the alleys and dark places of this great civil community. Like vampires, this lecherous, lustful class of white rascals hang around colored districts to allure and despoil unwary, thoughtless and unprotected colored girls. These immoral snakes invariably leave in their wake a trail of moral ruin and wreck and sometimes a horrid trail of blood. As they crawl through these colored communities, as is their nature, they bite any unsuspecting, sophisticated colored girl, miss or young woman, who comes within reach of their silmy, poisoninous, snaky, seductive tongues. They spring from their coll, and woe to the silly girl or young woman who is within reach of their fangs. Their bite is fatal—moral death. There are Standford Whites by the scores who have a penchant, an insatiable mania for colored girls, who, under the cover of night, haunt localities inhabited principally by colored people to victimize their girls. It is the nature of the beast of prey to stealthily secret itself in the heights above some watering place frequented by other denizens of the forest and when unwarily one comes to slake its thirst to pounce down upon it, so it is with these white moral leopards who sneak about colored settlements after the sun goes down. These wretches shun their own communities with the fread of hell, knowing that their noless lives would be snuffed out in a trice. They know that they would be shot down as moral vultures and with no more consideration than a chainsman would shoot down a coyote. Hence, they prowl about the homes and dwelling places of Negroes to do their nefarious work. They don't mind Negroes seeing them if they can accomplish their purpose by duping and doping ill-raised Negro girls. If a Negro man sees one of these villains and expostulates he is answered by bullyism. They assume to trample down colored women, to beastalize them on the theory of their white superiority and in the presence of Negro men, assuming that they have no right to object or interfere. The colored woman who makes it up in her mind, from whatever consideration, to go into the "illicit love game" with a white man, without being detected in the course of time, is a bigger fool than she is a rascal. It is a standing fact that a white man becomes bolder and bolder, the tighter and tighter he weaves about his colored female victim the web of influence. When he gets her so deeply entangled in the meshes of his power that she cannot extricate herself without his permission, then he dictates terms and she is his pillant knave and must obey. It is then too late for her to retreat, the bridge that spanned the chasm between the quagmires of the lowland into which she has wandered, allured by the will-o-the-wisp of sorlid gain, and the high grounds beyond on which she stood in conscious pride of unfettered womanhood, has been cut away. The blue-eyed Anglo-Saxon with his theoretical superiority and moral stamina has cut the bridges behind his dusky paramour. He can retreat. When he tires of her society, he can reacross the chasm; but she, poor, deluded victim of his lust, must forever wander in the slushes below. There is another fact as fixed as DR. JOSIE E.

FEBRUARY 22. 1907 Fate, and that is this: The colored woman that thinks that a white man is going to keep his relations with her a There is another fact as fixed as secret is the most deceived of all the deceived, and he makes it a point to tell some Negro, too. It is strange that a class of Negro women will continue to risk their names in the keeping of these low whites. This class of rascals—and it ranges away up the line—holds out inducements and makes promises before which the weak go down. Let this warning go forth to every colored woman who tolerates a wink of the eye, nod of the head, or any other method of attempt at communication by any of these white muckrakes: That she is dallying with a firebrand that will scorch, singe and burn in the end. There is no other ending to a countenance of seductive inducements but moral ruin. These rascals' promises are Dead Sea fruit, which, at last, will turn to ashes on their victim's lips. The Jew, whose oppression and persecution have been similar to that of the Negro, has preserved his race identity by guarding his racial line against the blandishments of other races. The Jewess takes pride in her own men, respects, honors and holds them up as her ideal of worthy manhood. Women of other races do the same; then, why cannot every Negro woman do the same? The tragedy of Sunday night was brought on by two young colored women, as it is alleged, fighting over a worthless white man who would have without the least ceremony, kicked into the street either, had she had the temerity to have approached him in the daylight among his kind in any public place. The sequel of the illicit relations between these two young women and their "white lover" is: one is dead and the other is in the clutches of the law. This should be a warning lesson to every colored woman in this community whose relations with some white man are similar to those which were between Renda Dilliard. Mollie Thompson and their white beau. It is significant that the names of the women appeared, but that of their white paramour was smothered in the account given out by the daily papers. Hear this parting shot: Any colored woman who is lavishing her endearments on some white rascal, is unfit for the hottest hides much less unfit to live. There is no sympathy for either of the three rascals of Sunday night's tragedy. Prof. Ford Green delivered a very interesting address to the Sunday school on February 17. Rev. J. A. Bryant, a firm believer in industrial education, preached a very helpful sermon Sunday at 11:30. He delivered an address on last Tuesday night on industrial education. Mrs. Coneland of Ebenezer, has planned to organize a ladies' reading circle to meet at the homes each month. The rally set for last Sunday met with great success. The sum of $16.25 was raised at the morning service. Mrs. Keeling, who has been in St. Louis for quite a time, is back home again. She was visiting her mother who died while she was there. Mr. Elmore Telford and James Harding, Jr., are new subscribers for the Globe. Mrs. Anna Walker is agent. Miss Hattie F. Henley is expected to be called to Chicago very soon to the bedside of her mother. Mr. Hickman Jenkins has bought him a farm near the Glade. He also owns other real estates in the Fifteenth District. Mr. Jenkins is a very industrious young man. GENERAL EDUCATION FUND. The educational movement is growing with "Jack's Bean Stalk" rapidity. It seems that the slang song, "All I want is fifty million dollars" has about become a reality so far as general education is concerned. The "fifty million dollars" was made a matter of fact by the recent gift of that ex-Bantist deacon and celebrated oil magnate, Ino. D. Rockefeller, when he made his name almost immortal by a gift of thirty-two million dollars to the general educational fund of the United States. He has built a shaft that will live ages to come, but if Mr. Rockefeller does not put or advise to put, a better trustee board than the board that is handling the Peabody Fund, it is feared that much discrimination will be inaugurated and practised in the distribution of this fund. It has been well said that Mr. Rockefeller cannot refuse one who goes to him in search of aid for a worthy cause, and for that reason he is kept away from every one. Mr. Rockefeller has given seventy-nine millions of dollars at various times for education. Some of his gifts it would be well to review. They are as follows: Chicago University. $21,000,000; Rush Medical College. $6,000,000; other colleges (estimated) $10,000,000; General Education Board, original gift. $10,000,000; General Education Board, new gift. $32,000,000. Other notable gifts to education include those of Andrew Carnegie to different institutions, about $28,000,000; Mrs. Leland Stanford, to Stanford University, $20,000,000; Cecell Rhodes, Anglo-American Scholarship, $10,000,000; P. A. Widener, Memorial Training School for Crippled Children, $9,000,000; Stephen Girard, Girard College, $8,000,000; George Peabody, $7,000,000; Wm. Marshal Rice, $6,000,000; Marshal Field, $5,000,000; and D. B. Faverweather, $5,000,000. It is a very notable fact that the press despatches specify the causes to which the gifts were made, all except the last three named. One was the seven million dollars of the Peabody Fund which it is said was given for the education of the deserving youth of the South and which was in the hands of a board of trustees, who it appears is distributing it to their liking and wishes. BRENTWOOD NOTES. The ladies of Brentwood met at the residence of Mrs. Tom Walker, and organized a sewing circle, which took the name of Magnolia. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Tom Walker, President; Mrs. Eliza Vernon, Vice President; Mrs. Laura Voorhies, Secretary; Mrs. Henry Perkins, Assistant Secretary; Mrs. Lucretia Bills, Treasurer. Much sewing was done, and business was transacted, after which the ladies retired to the dining room and were served with a four-course dinner. The following ladies were present: Mesdames Laura Voorhies, Laura Hunt, Mora Walker, Henry Perkins, Eliza Vernon, Anna Johnson. Susie Hunt, Lucy Clayborn, Lue Finnell, Cora Fields. The sewing circle adjourned to meet the following Monday at Mrs. Laura Voorhies. Mr. Hart Battle, of the Nolensville nike, visited in Brentwood last Sunday and attended morning services at Brook's Chapel M. E. Church. Rev. Alex. Merritt, of the Primitive Baptist Church, preached at Brook's Chapel M. E. Church last Sunday morning. He delivered an excellent sermon and gave good advice to the Christians. The congregation of Brook's Chapel M. E. Church and community was very much disappointed by not having Dr. E. W. S. Hammond with them last Sunday. The prominent divine was confined to his home with sickness. He will in the future fill his appointment at Brook's Chapel M. E. Church. The Magnolia Sewing Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Laura Voorles Monday. February.18. Many members being present. Much work was completed. After the business of the circle the ladies were invited into the spacious dining room, where they feasted on the many good things of the season, which the hostess had prepared for the occasion. The following were present: Mesdames Bills. Hunt, Vernon, Woods, Fields, Walker, Misses Sabie Perkins and Ella Johnson. Mrs. Patsy Perkins, Johnson and Misses Sabie Perkins and Ella Johnson attended the entertainment given by Prince Herman at Fisk University, Nashville. The ladies were very much pleased with Prince Herrman's wonderful performances. Mr. M. B. Vernon and wife visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Vernon, last Sunday. Mrs. James Finnell is on the sick list. Mr. Anderson Perry and Miss Florence Anthony, both of this city, were united in holy wedlock last Thursday evening at the New Bethel Baptist Church. Rev. H. D. Carpenter, officiated. Announcements have been given out that Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., will lecture at the New Baptist Church, on Monday evening. March 4. He will doubtless have a large attendance, as everybody here admires the celebrated divine. Last Sunday was a great day for church-going in this city. All the churches had large congregations, and lifted good collections. Dr. W. B. Reed and wife worshiped with the New Bethel Baptist Church last Sunday. They expressed themselves as having enjoyed the services. The city ministers' and Deacons' meeting convened at the State Street Baptist Church last Monday night, and discussed "God's Financial Plan." A paper was read by Dr. Mitchell on the subject, which was very interesting. Mrs. Porter Nicholson, in Delafield and her little daughter, Hallie, are on the sick list. Mr. C. C. Barton, of Oakland, was in the city last Saturday on business. Mrs. Alex. Johnson, of West Main street, is convalescent. The Bowling Green Ladies' Art Club, which was organized a few weeks ago, is meeting with success. The New Bethel Baptist Church will celebrate the Lord's Supper on Sunday, February 24. The members of this church are asked to be present, and sister churches of the same faith and order are invited. The Old Maid's Convention to be held at State Street Baptist Church on Friday evening, March 1, promises to be a rare treat. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. A department of Manual Training and Domestic Science will in all probability be added to this school next September. Superintendent H. C. Weber is heartily in favor of such an addition, and steps are now being taken for its introduction next school year. The principal and faculty are in favor of it on condition that the manual training course be additional and elective, instead of a substitution for something we already have. Your reporter understands that the idea of the superintendent and of the faculty is identical in this matter, and that the Manual Training Department will be strictly a new and added fixture to the old course. Prof. F. A. Mott, accompanied by Prof. J. W. Sewell, visited the High School last week. Prof. Mott is Superintendent of the city schools of Richmond, Ind. In his address to the school he paid the pupils a high compilment on their neat, intelligent appearance, their fine order, and the superior excellence of their singing. Misses Emma and Johnetta Terry were absent from their posts of duty two days last week on account of the sudden death of their mother. They were missed by teachers and pupils, who had a heart full of sympathy for them. Mr. B. W. Pavne of the Senior College Class of Fisk University, taught Higher English in the High School Thursday and Friday of last week. Mr. Chas. Montague acted as substitute for Miss Johnetta Terry, teaching the Fourth and Fifth Grades. The struggle for class honors is over. Prof. F. G. Smith, the principal, has notified Miss Everil Frazier that she is to be the valedictorian of the class of 1907, and Mr. Chas. Greer, the salutatorian. Great credit is due these two young people for winning these honors. They have studied long and hard and will no doubt reflect credit on their teachers, school and parents on the night of commencement, when they deliver their addresses. In this school the honors are won by scholarship and not by a vote of the class. Hence personal popularity counts for nothing in seeking these honors. They must be won by merit. SMYRNA NOTES. Rev. S. Thompson was with us Sunday and as usual took a leading part in Sunday school. He preached two sermons during the day. Mrs. B. G.

One decided change was noted in our Southern trip: We did not see the large crowds of loafers hanging around the depots. Any number of ebony faces could constantly be seen all along the entire route, but they were employed in different vocations. The avenues have opened up all over the country and the wage earners need not stand idle and say, "No man has hired me." The harvest is great and the laborers are few. What a great opportunity has come to our race and just at the time when so many things are being said and done against us; here comes the call for the laborer. Let our race prove loyal to the call and prove ourselves worthy of the confidence imposed in us; do a day's work for a day's pay, and give no opportunity to have the country filled with foreign emigrants to supplant the race who has made the country what it is to-day. Along the line of Alabama the chief midwinter work seemed to be the tapping of the large forest pine trees and hauling the rosin to the refinery; then barrelling and shipping it to the market, and no one seemed better adapted for this work than the man of ebony. Then a great number of sawmills were notable through the pine country and here the black man was busy converting the large forest into lumber and sending his product all over the world. The man of ebony is a natural railroad man, and we noted him occupying all the positions along the line, such as brakeman, fireman, section men, etc. One night the conductor THE NASHVILLE, GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL, 5, 1907. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1907. went to sleep and our ebony porter was in charge. It was an every day occurrence to see the black man handling the engine in the railroad yards in switching and changing locomotives, etc., and he will some day be in charge of a big locomotive, running over the country at the rate of a mile a minute. The man in black is the coming man. One cannot imagine what a great change a few hundred miles makes in the weather; while we are shivering in the midst of ice and cold, down in Florida they are enjoying warm, balmy summer-like weather. Think, in the middle of our winter these people are eating from their gardens all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Nature seems to favor them for they have the foliage always. When we stepped off in St. Augustine we said, "Is this next to heaven? for surely this city is a paradise, with streets white and smooth with coral and sand. One can walk or ride over them without a jolt. The streets are very narrow and quaint. St. Augustine is the winter home for very many millionaires. One hotel, "Ponce de Leon," employs six hundred colored men as waiters, besides all the other help are our people. Indeed, our people are very prominent in all the pursuits as railroad, hotel, hackmen and in many other positions. Our people own many first-class restaurants, boarding houses, and one can find first rate accommodation there; they are a fine set of people and own some nice homes. St. Augustine is one of the oldest cities in the country and the old Spanish Fort, San Marco, still stands to day as one of the most interesting features of the town, and the old gate built of great stones over three centuries ago with the motto engraved on its pillows, "There is no Conqueror but God." The Plaza is a pleasing park of palmetto, orange, cocoanut, fig, palm, oak and many other native trees. With the shrubbery and shade trees, with monuments and foundations, make up the most beautiful spot on earth. Here you can look over the bay, river and sea at the many sails on small and large boats; here you can meet nature in its full strength and display of comfort and beauty, and one's eyes can drink in, too, his fullest delight of God's handiwork, and to have a glimpse of a part of the pleasant things of life the tourist must by all means see Florida. Here you see a goodly number of men and women of our race employed as salesmen in the stores; they are the most reliable guides and the best-informed people on most subjects as to the old landmarks. Here is a great opening for our people, for much of the land is unoccupied; but this section of the country does not want the shiftless man but to the industrious and courageous man there waits a fortune for him. Daytona holds the just title of having the most beautiful sea beach in the world. It is here the famous automobile races are held every year, and we saw the machine in practice that holds the record of the fastest time ever made—a mile in 283.5 seconds. This is a town of automobiles and wheels; everybody who is able to own a machine rides in it; then comes the bicycle with the child, woman and man, everybody is mounted—the washerwoman carries her clothes on a wheel, the plumber his tools, the carpenter his plank, the porter delivers his merchandise on a wheel, and with what delight they go over the lovely driveways with high speed. Here they have flowing wells; they drive down through the sand for about one hundred feet and the water flows out continually. Mr. R. E. Watkins and the writer accompanied Rev. J. C. M. Combs to his home in Daytona, where he has lived for twenty-one years. He bought a block in Daytona when he first went there at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars, and refused ten thousand dollars for it while we were in his city. He also took up a government reservation of 107 acres, which can be easily converted into a valuable orange, banana or pineapple grove. Many of our people are among the oldest settlers and have come in possession of much of the farm and city property; not a few own magnificent homes in Daytona, and through the country some own fine orange groves. We saw hundreds of trees owned by our people laden with the precious fruit grown in that country. They ship all over the country by carload lots and no doubt you have eaten many an orange, pineapple, cocoanut, banana or some other kind of fruit from a colored man's farm. Daytona is a great oyster and fish port; they sell oysters by the bushel, fresh from the water and fish by the wagon loads. Then the alligator is found here in the greatest abundance; the turtle of immense size is here taken from the sea, and the woods abound with all kind of games: the deer, bear, buffalo, wild turkeys and ducks are among the eatables. The largest retail grocery store in Daytona is owned by Mr. Duncan, a man that can pass for either African or Caucasian. He does a business of fifty thousand dollars per year, which he has built up from a very small beeginning in the last few years. Most of the public conveyances are owned and managed by our people. We did not see a policeman while in Daytona. Some one said they had two, one on duty in the day and one for night, but they seldom make an arrest. They have no saloons, and this may account for it. What a heaven on earth to live in such a country like this! Don't you want to go there? PRESTON TAYLOR. (To be continued next week. THE BE-QUICK CLUB. The Ladies' Be-Quick Club of Spruce Street Baptist Church met at the residence of Mrs. Nellie Young Tuesday afternoon, February 12, 1907, and elected the following officers: Mrs. Lottie Kelly, President; Mrs. E. B. Lucas, Vice President; Mrs. H. E. Clark, Secretary; Miss Allie Bates, Assistant Secretary; Mrs. Nellie Young, Treasurer; Mrs. Fannie Clayborn, Chaplain. A very interesting meeting was held last Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca Foster, Eighth avenue, North. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mrs. Lula Bullock, Twelfth avenue, North. All members of the church are urgently requested to be present and take an active part in the meeting. "Be-Quick' is our motto. DEATH OF DANIEL PAYNE Mr. Daniel Payne, the father of Mr. Benjamin Payne, of Winter street, died Saturday morning after a prolonged illness. Mr. Payne was 110 years old, and had been a devout Christian for 60 years. He had been married four times and had thirty-five children. Mr. Payne blasted out the foundation of the capitol building of Tennessee. He died in full triumph of faith. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Miss Sallie P. Green, of 1602 Eleventh avenue, North, entertained Tuesday night, February 12, in honor of the birthday of her sister, Miss Lena Green. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with cut flowers and potted plants. Each one of the guests was given a bouquet of flowers as a souvenir. Music and dancing was the order of the evening. A menu of several courses was served. Among those present were Mesdames C. Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs. Plater, Misses Rosa B. Bailey, Miss Sallie Smith, of East Nashville, Katie Polk, Cassie Dodson, Maggie Green, Bessie Harding, Willa Washington, Gertrude and Altha Stratton, Lena and Sallie Green, Messrs. Geo. W. Smith, Jr., of East Nashville, Edie Polk, Sanders Woodard, Dave Washington, Walter Morris, Mays, Jeronah Cannon and Douglass Harding. FISK NOTES. Sunday, Feb. 17, we had the unexpected pleasure of an address by Dr. Trumbull, editor of the Sunday School Times. The basis of his address was his trip to the Holy Land several years ago. Mr. Allen, of Walden, addressed the Y. M. C. A. February 17. His subject, which was well handled, was, "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" The president of the Walden Y. M. C. A. was present and also made a few remarks. At a business meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night, the following officers for the next school year were elected: President, T. M. Brumfield; Vice President, A. M. Gilbert; Treasurer, M. Patterson; Corresponding Secretary, W. E. Key; Recording Secretary, W. H. Price; Librarian, Ernest Byrnes. The Senior College Class was entertained at the home of President Merrill Monday evening from 5:30 until 9:00. At dinner covers were laid for nineteen, including Mrs. H. F. Mitchell, wife of one of the members of the class, and Mr. Pratt Thomas, the absent president of class. Each one present received as souvenirs of the occasion a little bow made of the class colors, lavender and white, a photograph of Dr. Merrill, and a choice from a group of Brown anderry pictures. All concur in saying that they spent a very pleasant evening at the President's house. We are expecting on March 6 a Pullman car full of friends of the A. M. A. who will spend the entire day visiting with us on the occasion of the dedication of Chase Hall. La gripe has made its presence known at the University, and a number of the students have felt its butches. The usual Washington's Birthday Social was held in Jubilee parlors Thursday evening instead of Friday, on account of the play, "The Merchant of Venice," at Memorial Chapel Friday evening. Mr. J. J. Green led Christian Endeavor at Howard Chapel Sunday night, February 17. "Four-Square: or a Well-Rounded Manhood," was the subject of an able address delivered before the White Cross League by Dr. Jas. Bond, on February 17. The next meeting, held the third Sunday in March, will be addressed by Dr. F. A. Stewart. Calendar: "Merchant of Venice," Feb. 22, Memorial Chapel. MEDICINE, DENTISTRY AND PHARMACY. The Nashville Academy of Medicine; Dentistry and Pharmacy met in regular session at the office of Dr. Caruthers Monday evening, February 18. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Secretary, Dr. Townsend. A communication from the Bluff City Medical Association, inviting the State Association to meet in that city, Memphis, was read. On motion of Dr. J. A. Lester, the local organization pledged support to the State body. The speaker of the evening was late in arriving. Dr. Caruthers suggested the discussion of an interesting case that had come under his observation. Drs. Elliott and Hale spoke concerning the case also. The paper of the evening was read by Dr. Geeder. His subject was "Pneumonia." The doctor gave his hearers a good, practical talk on this important topic. Drs. Townsend, Lester, Hale, Boyd and Caruthers discussed the paper. This meeting was more largely attended than any previous meeting. A delightful ice course was served by Mrs. E. De Berry, who acted as hostess. Next meeting will be held at the office of Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker will present a paper, "The Relation of Theory to Practice." FUNERAL OF MISS SALLIE McBRIDE The funeral of Miss Sallie McBride, who died last Friday, took place at Payne Chapel Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Flagg, pastor of the church. Miss McBride was an estimable young lady and had been a member of Payne Chapel for a number of years. Her funeral was largely attended by those who had associated with her from early girlhood to womanhood. SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL NO. 1 I.U.J.H. NEW YORK.NY.

We of the younger generation are constantly exhorted to “follow in the footsteps of the ante- bellum Negro,—be faithful and obe- dient to the white people, do not seek impossible things—and the race prob- lem is solved,” is the burden of the advice constantly doled out with the passing of some of the older persons of our race, If one were to judge only from the fulminations of some of these white men who being not unkind to the Ne- gro, set themselves as mentors for our race, the conclusion would be drawn that a majority of the Negroes born since emancipation are lazy, untrust- worthy, vindictive—useful only for lynching purposes. Some of these “best friends,” these ante-bellum white folks, conscientiously believe that the young Negro is a failure, But they are wrong. During the time intervening be- tween the emancipation and the pres- ent day the Negro has made wonder- ful strides forward. The record of his progress will not suffer from be- ing brought into comparison with that of any other race so shortly removed from siavery. Were the Negro, the Negro born since the war of the Re- bellion, to be specific, Inzy, untrust- worthy, vindictive, and seeking the impossible—by which is meant social equality—the South would not be en- joying the greatest prosperity in its history. The bumper crops, the un- precedented output of the mines, much of the work of the factory, are but re- sults of his labor. It is as true of the Negro as of any other race that some of the younger members are worthless, but we ven- ture the assertion that the proportion of working Negroes is higher than that of the whites. As for seeking social equality, the greatest worry that the young Negro finds is how to prevent the white man from seeking social equality sub rosa with the women of our race. These “best friends” of the Negro can be of great service to us and with their progeny can help solve the prob- lem, But the first thing they should realize is that the question will never be settled unless both races are press- ing towards the same goal. Nor will it ever be settled on antebellum prac- ices, no matter how pleasant the rela- tions were then, Let our friends learn this and then give us advice, THE NASHVILLE GLOBR, FRIDAY, FHBRUARY 23, 1907. THE YAP IN THE WOODPILE. The San Francisco school muddle has been settled by a compromise in which the Japanese school children are to be permitted to enter the white schools while Japanese laborers are to be barred from entering ihe United States. At least, the San Fran- cisco Board of Education and Mayor Schmitz came to this agreement with President Roosevelt and Sveretary Root. Whether Japan is willing to draft a treaty with this country in which these provisions will be rec- ognized remains to be seen. Late accounts from Tokio express general displeasure with the amendment to the Immigration Bill, which was so drawn as to meet the terms of the compromise, When it is 7 into consideration that of the 60,000 children attending the public schools of San Francisco, only 93 are Japanese, the yap in the woodpile can be easily found, The whole fight is one against the Japanese as la- berers, The real fear of the labor lead- er-politicians of the Pacific coast is that the industrious Japs will prove the superior of the white man in the business and industrial fields of the West. SHERIFF SHIPP'S TRIAL. The Commissioner appointed by the Supreme Court to take the evidence in the Sheriff Shipp and others con- tempt proceedings at Chattanooga, brought out just such evidence might have been expected. One of the first things shown is the gross iegligence upon the part of the offi- cers of the law. One witness, an edi- tor of a daily paper, swore that the Criminal Court Judge and the Attor- vey-General knew of the proposed lynching about 8:30 o'clock the night it occurred, and called Sheriff Shipp over the phone and informed him. Another witness, an ignorant, unlet- tered white woman, who had been con- fined in the cell next to that occupied by Ed Johnson the night he was killed, testified that the night jailer informed her a few minutes before the mob attacked the jail that she had better return to the cell, that there was to be a lynching that night. Still another testified that the jailer moved his family the evening of the attack. A man from Georgia stated that he had been requested to join the mob by three other men whose names he gave. He stated further that these men said that they had assurances that the Sheriff and his deputies would not be at the jail. Several of the government's wit- nesses. have disappeared and pending the search for them the trial has been postponed until the latter part of next month, From the evidence given in 30 far it seems that a strong case has been made against the officers. The evidence also shows that others than the Negro are adepts at protecting criminals, CONGO. The United: States Senate has em- sowered the President to join with Great Britain or the other powers to investigate the brutalities practiced upon the natives of the Congo Free State under the rule of King Leopold of Belgium. This action was brought ybout by the several Protestant re- 'igious bodies, white and black, whose missionaries have sent in vivid ac- counts of the inhuman treatment the natives are subjected to in the rubber amps. Fostering the movement, however, is an English society the aetivity of which caused Great Brit- iin to take the lead in preparing for an investigition. In the January-February Voice John Daniels, Secretary of the Congo Re- form Association, writes of the wretch ednes of the Congo natives. One can searcely conceive how such iniquitous practices as are in vogue in the Congo can prevail in this day of civilization. Leopold's rule is a blot upon the es- cutcheon of humane government. Scarcely a week passes but a murder is attempted or committed in Nash- ville. Frequently those charged with these crimes are members of our’ race, as are the victims. Too many of the criminals of this class are sent to the penitentiary. The moral atmos- Phere would be cleared in this vicin- ity if one or two dozen of these nur- derers were hanged aunually. _ The Oklahoma Constitutional Con- vention seems to be a regular menag- erie of incompetents. If left to them- selves to adopt a constitution when the territory becomes a state it would not need any new laws for the next fifty years. From the evidence in the convention's case it ought to be dis- missed at once and without honor. Mr. Roozevelt, acting upon the ad- vice of some of the colored men in Ohio, cut Columbus, 0,, off his itiner- ary on his visit to Indianapolis to un- veil the Lawton monument. The President had promised to visit a col- ored fair in the city which it appears is to be nothing more than a gather- ing of gamblers. South Carolina has repealed its State dispensary law and for one week while the change is being made to the county system will have absolute prohibition. Said the Governor of South Carolina to the Governor of North Carolina—now really, what did he say? The Texas Investigation Committee as Senator Bailey on the gridirons, Jt develops that the “Babe” has smashed Mrs. Chadwick's record for borrowing. Now that Dr. Feist has been con- victed on the charge of murder in the first degree, we can give our undi- vided attention to the Thaw trial, ‘The councilman who opposed an in- erease in the number of schools for the colored people received a lemon, Memphis, Mobile and other cities in he South are advertising colored fairs, Business must be booming, To-day is Washington's: birthday, Truthful George ought to have been bresent at Brownsville. Ge WILL VISIT THE OLD worLp. News has just reached Nashville that Rev. John B. Ford, D. D., pastor of the largest Baptist Church in Den- ver, Col., will visit the world’s Fifth Sunday School Convention, which is to be held in Rome, Italy, during the month of May. Rev. Ford at one time attended Fisk University, but later graduated trom the Chicago University with high honors, His friends in Nash- ville will be delighted to know that he will make this trip in behalf of his interest’ in the Sunday school work With which he is closely identified, It is stated that Dr, Ford will go from Denver to Boston, Mass., where he will embark on his long journey to visit that once famous European city. In company with Dr. Ford, it is learned that Rev. James EB. Shepherd, the In- ternational Sunday School Secretary, ot Raleigh, North Carolina, will go. it was rumored, and, in fact, it is not yet definitely settled that Rev. C. H. Clark, D, D., who is Chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board and pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, will go. It is stated on good author ity that if Dr. Clark will make known to his church that he desires this trip they, will unhesitatingly arrange to send him. The entire trip will cost something over $350, which Includes first-class passage and hotel bills. Aft- er the Convention in Rome is over the entire party will take side trips to the “Holy Land,” and up into the interior of Europe. On returning, Dr. Ford may come via. Nashville, but this is not certain, MAGAZINES. The January issue of Alexander's Magazine (Boston, Mass.) was de- layed on account of a fire which de- stroyed the first section of the maga- zine after it had been printed. The issue, like most issues of this maga- ale, is excellent.

Jackson, of Montre- al, Canada, spent several days in the city this week, leaving Thursday for his home. While in the city he was carried to most of the places of in- terest, and on Wednesday evening was entertained with a supper by Mr. and Mrs. Ross Moore and Mrs. Flor- ence Kemp, of State street. This was Mr, Jackson’s first visit to Nashville, and he expressed himself as being highly pleased with the reception which he met. gc A SAD MISHAP. It is the usual custom whenever a ship is christened to break over its bow a bottle of champagne. A friend of The Globe, who being un- able to attend the recent anniversary celebration of the birth of the paper, thought that the paper was about old enough to be christened, and, after sending his regrets in a letter, sent the fluid to be used for the christen. ing purposes by express. It arrived this week. That is, the broken bottle in a box from which floated the odor of champagne, arrived this week. A representative of The Globe tried to interview some of the members of the Globe Company, but they were too busy to say anything other than thank the friend in the North who was so thoughtful. None of the Globe Com- pany “cuss!” rege OBITUARY. Mrs. Heseltine Ellington. Mrs. Heseltine Hllington departed this life February 17, 1907, in Mem- phis, Tenn., at the home of her grand- son, Albert Williams. Mrs. Ellington was born and reared in the state of Georgia, near Macon. She was mar ried to Peter Ellington several years before the Civil War. To this union were born eleyen children, of whom Rev. W. 8. Ellington, Editorial Secre- tary of the National Baptist Publish- ing Board, and pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city, is the fifth child. Peter Ellington died twenty years ago; thus the care of the home and the education of the children were de- volved upon Mrs. Hllington. No sacri- fice was too great for her to make that her children might receive a lib: eral education and make useful men and women of themselves. Of the sev- eu children that survive her, three are ministers of the Gospel, one is a school teacher and all are Baptists. The remains of Mrs, Ellington were taken to Gallaway, Tenn., and buried beside her husband, Peter Ellington, in the cemetery of Union Hill Baptist Church, of which she was a member for more than thirty years. Besides the seven children men- tioned above, there are nine grand- children, and four great-grand-chil- dren to mourn her loss, lave You Catarrh? Do Your Eyes Trouble You? Do You Need Glasses?

Though the majority of those pres ent thought the best make up were as described above, several were of the opinion that the honors should have gone to Miss Grace Lucile Price, who appeared as a baby.

Last Friday night the most stupid person could not have helped being awestruck at the stream of humanity that poured continually in the front door of the Odd Fellows Hall on Fourth avenue, North. Gay young couples attired in their evening cos- tumes poured in from every part of the city and just enough of the parents and friends of more mature age were present to insure good manners. But the young people conducted them- selves very nicely during the entire evening. Not a single cross word was uttered; instead every one exhibited a spirit of friendliness. True some were very young and most too young to be out so late at night, but the litle ur- chins joined in the exercises with great spirit. At about half-past ten Mr. Dock Liner, the popular professor of dan- sing, came in and amid cheers took charge of the couples and from time on everything was conducted or- derly. Prof. Liner is very popular with the young folks, and takes special pride in instructing them in the art of dancing. Mrs, Adelia Mills, the superior officer, was kept busy every minute of her time serving the hun. dreds of partakers of the good things she had prepared for the occasion When the ladies arrived to begin prep: arations to spread their tables they found the hall dark and cold, and had it not been for the open door policy of the Globe they would have beer compelled to stand out in a dark, cold hall for over an hour. Finally son¢ one was found who had the key anc to the surprise of every one the hal had not even been cleaned up. Chair: were all over the floor and a Christ mas cedar tree was standing on on end of the stage. The ladies were very much put out at such treatment Whereas the hall should have beer cleaned up before six o'clock, but in stead it was between eight and nin o'clock before the keeper could) bi found. After the hall was opened i developed that there was no light o1 the steps, and it was after ten o’clocl before this embarrassment was over come, On the whole the entertainment wa: @ success and Rebecca Court can wel feel that they have done themselve: and their seciety much good, SOUTH PITTSBURG NOTES. The rally held on the 11th inst. by the M. E. Congregation was a decided success. Mrs, James Randolph won ir the prize contest. Mrs. Josie Hstell has been indisposed since her return from Orme, wheré she closed a very successful term of four months public school. Miss Orlena Smith, who has been at tending school at Knoxville, has com home to be with her mother, who is in bad health at present. Mrs. A. Shelton was sick last week The two masterly sermons preache¢ by Presiding Elder Carter of the A M. E. Church were a treat to all whc heard him. Mrs. J. M. Hawkins is confined tc her room with the grippe. The Henry Byrom Literary Society meets every Tuesday night at the A, M. E. Zion Church. ‘The “Baby Show” given by the An. cient Daughters of Africa recently at the K. of P. hall was largely attended, The two prizes were a “go cart” and a baby dining chair. These were won by voting. The winners were respec tively the little ones of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Robinson and Mr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Cooley. The pastor of the Cumberland Pres. byterian Church fills the pulpit promptly every second Sunday. Mr. A. B. Bryant subscribes to the Globe this week. The valentine entertainment given Thursday night of last week by the Juveniles of the K. of P. Lodge, was a very interesting affair. | Rev, Mr, Shelton preached two splendid sermons here last Sunday. Rey. Wm. Simmons, pastor of the Baptist Church, realized a handsome sum of money in their rally last Sun day. Mr. Lewis Corrington has returned to Chattanooga after spending a few days with his family here. Mrs. Walter Gaines suffers with neu- ralgia, Rey. W. C. Adams, of Hot Springs, Ark,, is visiting friends here, Mrs. Mary Miller left Monday of this week for McMinnville, Nashville and other points in the interest of the Calanthe Court. Rev. B. J. Jones, P, B. of A. M. B. Zion Church, will . hold his second quarterly meeting for this conference year next Sunday, The entertainment held at the Odd Fellows Hall last Saturday night by the A. M. E. congregation was well patronized by the public generally. ‘The most interesting feature was a “spell down” by a class of some twenty or thirty persons. The ladies who stood the longest were Mrs. Josie Bs- tell and Mrs. Minnie Martin. Mrs, Estell’s side won the prize, tegen THE GLOBE IN SYRACUSE, NEW YORK. It-is almost remarkable how a copy of the Nashvile Globe will spring up in all parts of the United States, Re- gardless of whether on the exchange list or not, some lover of a good journal” will pick up @ copy of the Globe and will find an opportunity in some way to make it known. One of the newest surprises was a letter sent to Dr. R. H. Boyd, president of the One-Cent Savings Bank from Syracuse, New York. This letter was written by one Mr. ©. A. Dickson, who is stockholder in the One Cent Savings Bank. A part of the letter reads as follows: “To-day I accidently saw a copy of The Globe of Friday, January 11, and was surprised, also pleased to see these headlines, “Approaching the three-mile post. Annual meeting of the One Cent Savings Bank will be held January 14th.” The letter goes on to state some facts that were read in this article and shows that the write up of htneeeCOnt vbgkemfwym write up of the One Cent Savings Bank was read throughout the entire United States. He goes on further and says, “On reading your article I saw these words, ‘The third annual report when issued will show remarkable progress in financial circles. It has been learned that strenuous efforts will be put forth to dispose of all the unsold shares. It is predicted that at the meeting next week a more start- ling dividend will be declared. Stock will be sold and a general revival of interest will be attempted.’” This genteman, who is a stockholder in this bank, gleaned more information from one copy of the Nashville Globe than he could have possibly received from a dozen letters from friends. In order to prove his appreciation for the high manner in which the Globe is conduct- ed, he sent in a year's subscription to the president of the One Cent Savings Bank and asked that it be turned over to The Globe. DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINED. Mrs, Will Young delightfully enter- tained a limited number of friends on Wednesday evening, February 20, at her residence on Wighth avenue, North. Music and “pit” were the evening’s chief diversions, Mr. Joe, Porter presided at the piano, and the merry party enjoyed some very rate selections from Mr, E, C. MeNairy, the noted bass soloist. Among those pres- ent were Mr. and Mrs. Eason, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thorne Mr. and Mrs. Will Young and Messrs. Joe Porter and BE. ©. McNairy. PA “THE HUMAN BROTHERHOOD,” The Founding of a Bereau for the Pur- pose of Moulding Sentiment Fav- orable to the Colored People. For quite a number of years a pro- Paganda against the colored people of the United States has been carried on by persons hostile to their aspira- tions for full citizenship rights. They reasoned quite well that laws favora- he to the cause of the colored people would never be enforced if the nation could be taught to hate the race. “The Human Brotherhood” is a ‘ureau established in Philadelpbia for the purpose of passing around among persons whose good will for the race is desired such literature as will mould sentiment in its favor. The forces arrayed against the race seeking to blacken its name are pow- erful and aggressive. Strenuous work 's therefore necessary to effectively oifset_ them. ‘The aim of The Human Brotherhood is to organize groups in every com- munity, equip them with the literature most helpful and have them dissemin- vie the same, Persons friendly to the cause of the colored people have provided and will continue to provide funds for the op- eration of the Bureau. No fee whatever is attatched to con- ection with the movement and all in sympathy with its purposes are desired is co-workers, ‘The Bureau is under the supervision of Rey. Sutton E. Griggs, A. M., B.

THOMAS C MOORE, K of R and S. 2:23:06 uff CITY B. Y. P. U. ORGANIZED. One of the largest missionary meetings ever held in Nashville for young people was held in the Sunday school rooms of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, February 17. The meeting was called to order at 2:30 p.m., by Rev. W. L. Craft, who is the Field Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board. At this meeting a long step in the right direction was made, which resulted in the organization in Nashville of what will be known as "The City B. Y. P. U." Every Baptist Church in the city has been invited to join, and, in fact, all save one or two were represented either in person or by proxy at the meeting Sunday. Rev. C. H. Clark, the pastor, towering as he above all others, encouraged the movement in the most hearty way possible. An excellent program was rendered. An opening chorus was sung by the Mt. Olive choir. Scripture was read by Rev. C. K. Wilson. Then came prayer. A song by the choir; then came the discussion, which was "The Union a Factor in the Missionary Development of our Denomination." This discussion was led by THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1907. Revs. Clark, Slaughter, Harding, Parr, Page and Matthews, and Rev. Draine and others were invited to make speeches on the subject. Miss Maud Roberts, of Walden University, was present and sang "Teach Me Thy Way" sweeter than it has ever been heard in Nashville. "Our Needs" was discussed by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, the Corresponding Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board. Mrs. L. A. Davis played an instrumental solo. Possibly the most interesting and entertaining piece on the program was the trio by Miss Reed, Mrs. Henderson and Dr. A. A. Townsend. Their voices charmed the audience. Every one strained their ears to catch every note of the sweet music made by them. A Committee on Organization was nominated, and while they were out, Miss M. M. Kimball, of Louisville, who represents the Woman's Auxiliary Convention, addressed the audience. The committee reported the following officers as the first for the ensuing year: J. Blaine Boyd, Mt. Olive Church, President; Miss Mattie Matthews, Tabernacle Church, First Vice President; Mr. Jesse Voorhees, Kayne Avenue Church, Second Vice President; Mr. Wm. Cantrell, St. John Baptist Church. Third Vice President; Miss Maggie Stubbs, First Baptist Church, Recording Secretary; E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., Spruce Street Baptist Church, Corresponding Secretary; Miss Matilda Williams, First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Treasurer; Mr. Wm. Sheffield, New Hope Church, Chorister; Dr. A. M. Townsend, Spruce Street Baptist Church, Organist. It was agreed that the Union would meet once per month and that one month's notice would be given for all churches to prepare special subjects and present their claims for those on program. The first monthly meeting will be held March 17, which is the third Sunday in March, at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church. The meeting will be called together promptly at 3 o'clock. Indications are that a large number of young people will be brought into this working organization THE JOLLY SIX. The Jolly Six were entertained Friday night, February 15, by a number of young men at the residence of Miss Matilda Hargraves, 1106 Kayne avenue. Those present were Misses Cella Hendly, Mary A. Cheers, Matilda Hargraves, Ophelia Alexander, Sarah Garner, Iona Gant, Maggle Hargraves, Messrs. Robert Martin, Aaron Bradford, John Wesley Franklin, Hicks, Morton, Horace, James Watson and Dr. Revnolds. A beautiful collation was served and dancing was indulged in until a late hour. NICELY ARRANGED DINNER. Mrs. Minnie D. Woodard entertained at dinner Sunday, February 17th in celebration of her birthday. Attempting menu of four courses was served from a beautifully decorated table. A color-scheme of red and white was carried out in the decorations and the place cards of red and white valentine hearts. Seated around the table were Misses Belma Mahan, Elhel Spence. Emma Owens, Bessie Chester and Mrs. Woodard. TWENTIETH CENTURY WHIST CLUB The Twentieth Century Whist Club met at the home of the president, Miss John D. Blackwell, 391-2 Wharf avenue, Thursday evening, February 14. The meeting was the second of the season, the club being recently organized the previous week at the home of LOCATED THREE MILES FROM NASHVILLE ON THE LEBANON PIKE. Mrs. Robt. C. Eason. After the business of the evening was over, a collation of sandwiches, cake, wine and black coffee was served. The club adjourned with thanks to the hostess for her pleasant hospitality. Those present were Mesdames Robt. C. Eason, Eugene Clayton and Thos. Ewing, Misses Bettle Warren, Willie Mai Turner, Anna Dunlap, Alberta Dunlap and Annie Cheek, Messrs. T. A. Ewing, J. W. Foster, R. C. Eason, Eugene Clayton, Guy Bordenhammer, Wymon Brady, John Russer and Eben Hudson. FRANCES WILLARD MEMORIAL. The women of the colored W. C. T. U. met in Howard Congregational Church Sunday afternoon to rejoice over the Segregation Bill, which removes saloons from the vicinity of our two universities, dear to our heart. Fisk and Walden. Now it will be a delight to live in the suburbs, as the saloon nuisance will be removed. Mrs. C. H. Phillips gave an address on The Life and Influence of Frances Willard, also a glimpse of "Rest Cottage" built by Miss Willard. Impassioned speeches were made in the discussion which followed, by Miss Nannie Perkins, who took the ground that the bitter taste alone of beer makes it repulsive to children and they would never drink it if their parents did not encourage it by example. She owes her abhorrence to all such habits from the example and training of her sainted mother. Mrs. Sawyers spoke of her love for the work and her intention of sticking to the W. C. T. U. Mrs. Clark and others spoke on the coming W. C. T. U. convention to Nashville. After Rev. Mr. Bond's instructive remarks on the temperance legislation, Mrs. John Work said that the recent great crime was fostered by the drink habit. She then sang feelingly, "We'll overcome some day." Mrs. Phillips Chairman of the Committee on Homes for the Convention, calls a mass meeting the third Sunday. W. C. T. U. will meet in Rev. Mr. Fields' church the second Sunday in March. The Sarah J. Early section will discuss the "cigarette habit." Signed by the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. D. W. Crutcher. LET BRAINS AND REASON HAVE THE FRONT SEATS. It looks like the Nashville, Tenn., Globe is bound to be the ablest journal published south of Mason and Dixon's line. This is another verification of the fact that it does not take great big patent sheets with about 1000 ems of original matter to make a hit. It used to be the big, portly, highhat prominent-mouthed Negro preacher who could yell the loudest that was considered a mighty fine preacher, but that age even among our people has assed. All Negro preachers had to do at one time, not many years ago, and some places yet, was to open "de Bible" and turn to I. John or John "de Reverlaer," and take his text. Then leave his text, sine die, and commence braying like an ass, talking of "de land of milk and honey where there will be no laboring nor sin, etc. Then off shouted the sisters, and Bro. Isaac would execute a few monkey antics, contort his face into various shapes, and ejaculate, "Go on down de line, kaze I know'd you am dar wid de goods." But in this age we want reason, philosophy and sound doctrine, based on historical and scientific facts. The same is true of papers—people want some brain manifested. We are sorry to assert that in our dear old Springfield, we are not immunes from this old idiotic age in some of our pulpits. There should be an educated trustee board also. Relegate old Mr. Ignoramus to the rear and he will like his place—The Springfield (Ill.) Forum. AS A WOMAN SEES IT. "Unwritten law"—that law which convicts Negroes, innocent or guilty, but always sets white men free. *** When the Senator from Tennessee with the red head, Carmack, by name, retires March 4th, he can go home and in his leisure time finish repealing the 15th Amendment. *** When Sheriff Shipp of Chattanooga, and his companions, the "murderers," "assassins" and "lynchers," go to Washington to appear before the Supreme Court to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt, we wonder what sort of entertainment and reception will again be accorded these "murderers" and "assassins" by the President of the United States? *** Maybe after our dearly beloved, strenuous, "square deal" President has attacked all the little commercial and railroad trusts, he will direct Attorney General Bonaparte, Mr. Purdy and his associate to investigate the great Southern Sufferage Trust, which has robbed nearly a million black citizens of their ballot and has set aside and annulled the Constitution which he swore to enforce.-The Richmond. (Va.), St. Luke Herald. * * * A TRUE FRIEND OF THE RACE. Prof. Helen C. Morgan, a teacher at Fisk University who has labored there for nearly thirty-eight years, is the guest of the Principle and Mrs. Washington at their home, "The Oaks," having come here to see something of the work of the school on the first vacation she has had since her connection with the University. She bears the further and unique distinction of not having missed a recitation, until her present absence, since being at Fisk. Miss Morgan spoke for a few minutes to the teachers and students at the regular evening service in the Chapel last Sunday.—Tuskegee, (Ala.) Student. *** NEGRO JUBORS FOR FLORIDA. NEGRO JURORS FOR FLORIDA. We have been authoritatively informed that Lawyer I. L. Purcell of Jacksonville, has secured a decision from the Supreme Court of the state relative to Negroes being drawn for grand and petit jury service in all the counties in the state. Through Mr. Purcell's efforts, colored men are drawn for jury duty in Escambia, but the latest supreme decision covers the entire state. Lawyer Purcell has accomplished some good work in Florida in behalf of the race.—The Pensacola, Florida Sentinel. THE USUAL WAY. Yes they are white regular soldiers, who raided the homes of the colored citizens of Columbus, Ohio, recently and demolished their property, fired just as they pleased, broke out windows and destroyed saloons.—Kentucky Reporter. FEIST SILHOUETTES. There is locked up in durance vile, in dungeon dark and damp, J. Herman Feist, formerly a popular physician of the city, who is "Guilty of murder in the first degree," said twelve of his fellow-countrymen in their verdict Saturday morning, February 16. This man, standing in the shadow of the gallows with a rope about his neck, so to speak, and casts slurs and makes insinuating remarks about his less guilty "brother in black." When asked by a reporter of one of the daily papers how did he fare during his first night in prison after his conviction, replied that he got along as well as could be expected in such a place, with the exception of being disturbed by "the rats and Negroes." Were it the "rats and Negroes" that disturbed the innocent dreams of Dr. Feist? He said that he saw creeping shadows pass his window. Were those the "silhouettes" of the escaping prisoners? or were they the hallucinations of his alleged and proven crimes? In one of Shakespeare's great creations based upon fact, it is said, he told of Clarence of royal lineage who, when mewed up in the Tower of London, had a dream—a dream so frightful and so horrid that it racked his soul. In it he thought himself in hell in which the souls of those whom he had slain on earth had gone and who seeing him coming shrieked out, there comes Clarence, false, fleeting, perfured Clarence, seize upon him furies and give him to your sharpest torments. On awakening he told his keeper that so real was his dream, he would not pass another such a night for the wealth of all the world. It was the souls of those whom he had slain that made the dream of Clarence so terrible that he shook with the fears and terrors of his ruthless crimes. Dr. Feist's innocent slumbers are disturbed by the stealthy creepings of the rats and the uncanny noises of sleeping Negroes. Is it not barely possible that the rats and Negroes are the "silhouettes" of his crimes on the window of his soul? His own countrymen by their verdict for an awful crime put him within the disturbing radius of the rats and Negroes. --- PETITION IS DISMISSED The petition of Ida Cartwright to secure her release from the county jail by writ of habeas corpus was heard by Judge Cartwright in the Circuit on Thursday. The petitioner alleged that she had been arraigned before Judge Baker in the City Court and bound over to the Criminal Court without testimony. Judge Cartwright held that it was not denied that Judge Baker had jurisdiction of the case and that the remedy was in a court of appellate jurisdiction. The petition was dismissed. R. G. Martin & H.
