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. GEO. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PROFITABLY CELEBRATED. NEGROES PURCHASE LAND IN NEW FISK UNIVERSITY PLACE. OVER FORTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF REAL ESTATE CHANGES HANDS—RECORD-BREAKING OF BEAUTIFUL HOME SITES—COMPANY LOOKING FOR OTHER TRACTS. One of the greatest real estate sales recorded in the history of Nashville took place last Friday between 12 and 4 o'clock on what is known as the Fisk University Place, a new and beautiful tract of land opened and thrown upon the market by the Abraham Lincoln Land Company, whose office is 71 Arcade, up salirs. It was the intention of the movers of this new suburb addition to Nashville, to open a strictly first-class colored sub-division. Not, however, with any intent at discrimination or jim crowism but for the purpose of giving every Negro in Nashville an opportunity to become a property owner at prices within reach and on such terms as would not embarrass their financial condition regardless of how small their salary is. The $1.00 cash payment and the 50 cents weekly payment enable the most humble of the race to secure a home. Every one should have a place called home. Great efforts had been put forth advertising this sale through different papers and ere the dial on the clock pointed to 12, fully 3,000 people had gathered on the grounds, which lie just west of Fisk University, occupying one of the most beautiful sites about Nashville. This sale was not to begin until one o'clock, but the crowd had grown so large and impatient until the management decided that it would be best to open the sale one hour earlier. It was almost like opening public lands in the far West. Each group of people could be seen here and there selecting their future homes. Truly the Negroes have decided to get some of this world's goods, and judging from the hundreds of young, able-bodied, well-thinking members of the race who invested on Washington's birthday, it will not be long before the tax list in Nashville will show that every male member of the race who has attained his majority, will appear thereon. It is learned that fully $42,000 worth of real estate changed the Abraham Lincoln Land Company to individual owners on this day. Not more than two lots were sold to any one person. The lots range in prices from $175 to $300. Thus it can be seen that a large number of lots was disposed of. It is already learned that some of the purchasers will begin the erection of their homes in the near future and will stop rent as soon as possible. The demand has been so great that this same Company has decided to purchase additional lands in the same vicinity, as there is another desirable tract of land just adjoining Fisk University Place, which would increase the size. Rumors are wild already that the Nashville Street Railway Company will extend Jefferson street car line, allowing it to pass Fisk University Place, making a loop and coming back into Jefferson street. If this is done, it will bring the place within ten minute's ride of the Square. This seems to be the only rival of West Nashville ever opened, and with the wide alleys to the property and excellent streets that will be cut, there will be nothing left to make this new sub-division all that is expected of it. Only about seventy or one hundred lots remain unsold, and it is learned that applications for these are being made almost daily. The Company has already opened offices on the grounds and will answer in person, inquiries made at the place or by 'phone or otherwise inquiries made in the Arcade office down town. FATAL ACCIDENT. Last Monday morning Carrie Cleveland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Cleveland, of Salem and Albion streets, was playing near a stove when the dress of the little child caught fire and before the flames could be extinguished she was so badly burned that there were no hopes of saving her life. The little sufferer lingered until just after nightfall when death put an end to her af. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1907. flictions. The funeral services were solemnized Tuesday and a large number of friends were present. DAVIDSON COUNTY TEACHERS. The Davidson County teachers held quite an interesting session February 9, 1907. The subject of Hodges' Nature studies was discussed by Prof. W. R. Davis. A solo was sang by Miss Helena Lowe, daughter of Prof. C. B. Lowe. Many visitors were present. Prof. Wright, of Buena Vista School, gave a valuable talk to the teachers. DANGEROUS CAR GONDU TOR. A week or so ago the attention of the public was called to an impudent conductor on the West Nashville line, by a Globe reporter who witnessed the proceedings. That this car line is becoming notorious was plainly apparent last Sunday afternoon when a conductor by the name of Mann shot Mr. George Marshall through the arm, on Church street near Fifteenth avenue. Fortunately his injuries were slight. The ball entered his left arm, passing through the shoulder and lodging in his back. Dr. Coles, whose office is near the scene of the affray, attended to the wounded man, who, with his brother, was subsequently arrested, the charge being disorderly conduct. Both made bond. Mann was arrested at the transfer station on a charge of carrying a pistol and on a charge of assault with a pistol with intent to commit murder. Mr. Marshall states that he and his brother had some words with the conductor, who drew his pistol and ordered them from the car. After they had got off the conductor shot at them. Mann says the brothers threatened him and he shot in self-defense. The trial was set for last Monday, but owing to Mr. Marshall's condition it was continued until Wednesday, when Mann was bound over to the criminal court. PIANOFORTE LECTURE. Recital at Blind School by Miss Elizabeth S. Wells. The visitors, teachers and students of the Tennessee School for the Blind were highly entertained by a planoforte lecture-recital given by Miss Elizabeth S. Wells in the chapel of that institution last Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock. Miss Wells, who is so successfully teaching vocal and instrumental music at the school, is a student in the musical department of Fisk University. She possesses the characteristics of the Fisk musicians in that she delivers her numbers with skill and precision. She carefully explained each number of her program, making it even more interesting to the students as well as the laity. Misses Grass and Hukill, of Fisk, were present. The programs were written upon cards the corners of which were draped with royal gold and blue and read as follows: Polish Dance—Op. 3, No. 1..... X. Scharwenka. Octave Study .....A. Kullak Nocturne in F-sharp Op. 15, No. 2..... F. Chopin. Sonate No. 11.....J. Hayden I. Pan Pastorole. II. Venitienne (4 me) Barcolle. III. En Convant. B. Godard. A VISIT TO WEST TENNESSEE IN INTEREST OF ROGER WILLIAMS Rev. Wm. Haynes, General Manager of the Roger Williams University Fund, has just returned from a week's trip in and about Memphis, Tenn., in the interest of that institution. Speaking of his trip, he said: "Considering the weather I did very well. I was kindly received by the Memphis brethren, who spoke very encouragingly concerning the rebuilding of Roger Williams University. I spoke and preached at several churches, each of which contributed to the work as follows: Jackson Ave. Baptist Church, Rev. Bell, pastor.....$ 5 00 Salem Baptist Church, Rev. Thomas, pastor.....2 00 Metropolitan Baptist Church Rev. Searcy, pastor.....15.15 First Baptist Church, Chelcia, Rev. Herd, pastor.....26 00 St. Paul Baptist Church, Rev. Woods, pastor.....3 00 Canaan Baptist Church, Covington, Rev. Holoway, pastor.....10 00 First Baptist Church, Brownsville, Rev. Townsend, pastor.....10 00 GARY & CARUTHERS. A new grocery company will soon throw open their doors to the public on Cedar street under the firm name of Gery & Caruthers. They deserve a portion of your patronage. TYREE CAMP FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. RESIDENCE OF MRS E. C. COE FEY SCENE OF GALA MEETING. SPACIOUS PARLORS CROWDED TO THEIR UTMOST—MEMBERS AND FRIENDS LISTEN TO ADDRESSES AND REPORTS WITH KEEN INTESEST—MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED. Tyrese Camp, a branch of an organization of societies of the St. John A. M. E. Church, celebrated its fifth anniversary at the residence of Mrs. E. C. Coffey on Thirteenth avenue, North, last Friday evening. A large number of friends had been invited, and when Mrs. Sarah Rose called the meeting to order the parlors were crowded with the Camp members and the guests. Mrs. Rhodes stated the purpose of the meeting, and announced the first number on program which was an instrumental selection by Miss Bruce Mai Ewing, the talented organist of the St. John A. M. E. Church. Miss Ewing was equal to the occasion, rendering her selection with grace and case. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. E. Alexander, pastor of the Hubbard Chapel M. E. Church. Miss Mattie E. Alexander, daughter of Rev. Alexander rendered an instrumental solo which was highly enjoyed by all. Mrs. E. C. Coffey, president of Tyree Camp, was then introduced. She gave a brief history of the camp, noting its accomplishments during the five years it had been in existence. She told of the efforts put forth, and how friends of other churches had helped them in the struggle. Miss Lizzie Dickerson was the next to speak. Miss Dickerson is secretary of all the several camps working in the interest of the church. She gave the staticistics of the money collected and how the same had been expended. Her statement showed that the camps have raised nearly $2.599 and had paid the whole, less expenses, on the church debt. Mrs. Lula Allen, who was one of the first to join in the Camp work, spoke words of praise and encouragement. Dr. E. J. Gregg, D.D. of Jacksonville, Fla., who is the corresponding secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor Department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was the next speaker. He said the twentieth century promised to be the woman's age. The coming of Christ brought her emancipation, and in this age she has ceased to be considered as a beast of burden, but as truly man's companion and helper. He spoke in glowing terms of the great accomplishments by the women of St. John A. M. E. Church and wished for them continued success. Miss Vera L. Moore, a member of the faculty at Walden University, rendered an instrumental solo. Miss Moore's rendition was above the average and brought forth great applause. Bishop E. Tyree, for whom the Camp is named, was the next speaker. He said he had watched the work of the Camps with much interest, and was proud to have his name identified with them. Bishop Tyree said since the time he received a telegram from Dr. Watson, the secretary of the Church Extension Board, to represent him at the sale of the church, several years ago, and to save the property, he had received many kicks for acting as he did; but he considered the telegram from the Church Extension Secretary to mean what it contained, and he acted. However, all were compelled to admit now that it was the best investment that had been made by the board during its history. He said the fact that the Baptists and other friends had helped the Camp members to save St. John A. M. E. Church was as it ought to be, and it should be so in every struggle the race has. The dominant race has taken everything from us but the churches and school houses, and when one of these is in peril every Negro, irrespective of creed, should put his shoulder to the wheel and help push. Dr. T. W. Haigler, pastor of the church for which the camp is working, was the last speaker. He said he has been given the new name of fussy pastor, but as long as the dollars continued to roll in he would continue fussing. He said he was very much concerned about the "something else" he had heard mentioned and would not be lengthy in his remarks, but would get out of the way for the "something else." Miss Vera L. Moore rendered another of her choice selections and the exercises were brought to a close. The guests were then invited to the dining hall where all were served to the sumptuous repast served in buffet style in courses, after which the fifth anniversary of Tyree Camp celebration passed into history. ANOTHER OLD VETERAN DEAD. MR. GEORGE HOOPER, OLD AND WELL-KNOWN PORTER, PASSES AWAY. Useful and Long Career—He Served the Maxwell House for Over Thirty-Two Years—Most Courteous and Polite. Mr. Geo. Hooper, who has been confined to his bed for three years, his body wrecked with pain and suffering, died at the home of Mrs. Anna T. Jackson on Eighteen avenue, North, at an early hour Tuesday morning. This announcement will not come as a surprise to those who had known of the patient's long illness and sufferings, and who had expected his death at any moment during the past three years, but still it will bring a sense of sadness to many who had respected Mr. Hooper. His long life of usefulness, his ever courteous manner and his high sense of integrity had won for him the esteem and regard of all who knew him in his official capacity as head porter of the Maxwell House for thirty-two years. Three years ago Mr Hooper, while in the active discharge of his duties, was suddenly siezed with an attack of paralysis, which completely incapacitated him for further duty and he had practically been to his bed since. He had during these long years of illness, days of quiet and peace, but most of the time he suffered intensely and every day found him growing gradually weaker and weaker. When the end came he met it with resignation and sank gently to rest. During his long career as porter Mr. Hooper accumulated at one time considerable property, but he trusted the investment of his earnings to his white friends and they were unfortunate in their investments, and all during his illness he was wholly dependent upon the liberality of friends and Mrs. Anna T. Jackson, to whose house he was taken when first attacked with paralysis. This woman was no relation, but bound by ties of friendship opened her house to the afflicted man and for three years administered to his wants with an unselfishness rarely equaled. Mr. Hooper was born of slave parents in February, 1836, and was seventy-one years old when he died. After Mr. Hooper obtained his freedom he began his career as hotel porter, first serving in that capacity for the old City Hotel, located on the public Square just south of the Methodist Publishing House block. He in turn then served in the same capacity at the old St. Cloud Hotel on Fifth avenue, then located on the present site of the old Caster-Knot Building. In 1869, when the Maxwell House was completed and opened, Mr. Hooper was appointed head porter under Mr. McKean, the first manager. He continued with J. H. Falton and Co. of which firm Mr. John Overton, owner of the hotel property, was a partner and took an active part in the management. He continued as head porter with succeeding Managers Gibson P. Johnson, Mr. Chopin of Boston who was the first manager after the Maxwell House formed into the hands of a stock company; Gen. Smeedes from the Battle House in Moble; J. H. Falton and W. K. Black. It was under Mr. Black's administration that he was stricken with paralysis. Had Wide Acquaintance. Mr. Hooper perhaps knew more prominent men than any other man in the South. The drummers who patronized the Maxwell knew and were especially fond of him, and sometimes in the old days he used to make from $5 to $10 per day in tips. Mr. Hooper was a consistent member of St. John's A. M. E. Church, and his liberality went far towards helping this church in past years. He was an Odd Fellow and belonged to several other secret orders, but it was for the church where he did most efficient service, and the congregation of St. John has reasons to honor and revere his memory. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, with services at St. John's Church, Dr. Haigler officiating. Interment at Greenwood Cemetery. Taylor & Co. had charge of the funeral arrangements. DEADLY ENCOUNTER THEY HAD BEEN FAST FRIENDS, SO IT IS SAID. OVER SOME TRIVIAL AFFAIRS BAD FEELINGS WERE ENGENDERED, WHICH LED TO THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN THE TWO YOUNG MEN, AND THE TRAGIC DEATH OF MABRY. Sometime ago there was something said in this paper of the killing of each other by a class of our people in this community, which seems to be periodically epidemic. Last week the public had dished out to it an account of one young Negro woman cutting to death another over a nasty love affair between them and a white man. Both of these women had come up together from childhood, being reared by the same woman who was the mother of one of them. But environments and evil associations to asunder the bond of friendship which had been formed during the earlier years of their home-life and constant companionship. This week the public has another sensational killing. This time the parties to the tragedy are two young Negro men. Wednesday morning, February 27, in the brickyard belonging to W. G. Bush & Co., Sam Mabry was killed by Newton Smith. Smith claims, it is said, that the difficulty was brought on by Mabry. He said that during the morning he got into Mabry's way and the latter cursed him, whereupon he got a brick and throwing it, struck Mabry whom he killed. He claims that he had no intention of committing murder, but, to our thinking, that will be much harder to prove than it is to say. Smith claims that Mabry was the aggressor, but the statements made by those who saw the whole affair are rather damaging and do not bear him out in his claims. He is said to have thrown the brick at Mabry while the latter was upon a ladder. It is not the purpose of this "write-up" to pass upon the credibility of the statements of those who witnessed the difficulty, that lies wholly within the province of the Criminal Court; but its purpose is to give an account of what is a fact: The death or killing of Sam Mabry by Newton Smith. It should be and, in fact, is the legitimate province and mission of every Negro newspaper to spread among its people the doctrine of wholesome and worthy citizenship; to give to them advice in all that pertains to their welfare; to point out their faults and condone nothing that savors of recklessness and folly; to commend them for their right efforts, and, in short, to point them to the highest ideals and lead the way. There are lots of our young men and women who read so little that they have no conception of what that great force, public opinion, is; and, therefore, they do not hear its warning voice nor note its ugly, savage visage until they have stepped beyond the fatal line—outside the pale of the law. Then they hear and see, too late, what before they could not hear nor see. Newspapers which chronicle the doings of the times, the harbingers of all that transpires in our civilization, are so much rubbish to a certain element of our people, and that certain element is the one that furnishes the majority of cases for the docket of the Criminal Courts. Their minds are bristling with the thistles and thorns of bullyism—blind, unreasoning bullyism which, when once aroused, will not be satiated until it has tasted blood—blood which, ere it has had time to gloat over, palls on its taste. Murder is a grievous thing at all, seen from whatever point of view, is always shocking and revolting. From the first—of Abel by Cain—down through the ages to now, it is one of those sins against society that it never altogether forgets and, therefore, never forgives. The taker of human life drags out his existence among his fellowmen a "branded Cain," with the ghastly image of his victim ever before his mind and preying upon his imagination. In the Smith-Mabry tragedy, even if what Smith says concerning Mabry cursing him, the provocation did not justify his going to the extremity of murder. DR. JOSIE E. WELLS.

This truth is worthy of note: Young men and women whose home training has been wholesome, whose environments have been conducive to the development of self-restraint and whose minds have been embellished, do not fall into the commission of rash acts anything like as easily as those who have had unrestrained liberty in their coming up. Self-control is an invaluable asset in the battle of life, and the man or woman who is devoid of it is lacking in one of the prime essentials or forces of his or her personality. The man without self-control is liable to angry explosions at any time which may result in his undoing. Had either Smith or Mabry possessed self-control the story told here would have remained untold. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. The Merchant of Venice was presented at Fisk Memorial Chapel, by the Junior College Class last Friday, February 22. The cast was as follows: The Duke of Venice.....M. V. Boutte Antonio.....James A. Myers Bassanio.....William A. Macintyre Salanio.....Halcombe S. Crosthwait Salarino.....Benjamin F. Murphy Gratiano.....St. Elmo Brady Lorenzo.....James G. Browne Shylock.....Charles Campbell Tubal.....William B. Merrill Launcelot Gobbo.....Alfred G. King Gobbo.....Jack S. Braboy Leonardo.....Howard W. Warner Balthazar.....W. Sylvester White Portia.....Beatrice S. Flanders Nerissa.....Lillian E. Cashin Jessica.....Gertrude L'Glenn The chapel was filled with an attentive and appreciative audience. From the beginning to the end of the play the characters were stimulated by the attitude of their hearers. The personnel of the class, and the training given by Miss Green, the teacher of elocution, made anything but success impossible. Although some of the characters had few words to say, they were well said. As friends to Antonio and Bassanio, Brady as Gratiano, Murphy as Salarino, and Crosthwait as Solanio, sustained their characters well. Boutte, as the Duke of Venice, was the impersonation of courtly grace. Brown, as Lorenzo, played the part of the successful lover, admirably. As old Gobbo, Brayboy could scarcely be surpassed. While Miss Cashin, as Nerissa, charmed the audience with her dainty coyness. She showed herself a strategist of no mean degree. Miss Glenn in the role of Jessica commanded the sympathy of all as she described her position in Shylock's family, and their admiration for the way in which she got out of it. The faithful Hebrew friend was well represented by Merrill, while White as Balthazar and Warner as Leonardo, were trustworthy helpers of Portia and Bassanio. The character of Shylock is one that is usually held up as a model of avarice and cruelty, yet as one listened to Campbell's outburst of pent up feeling in his first talk with Antonio, and in his subsequent talk with Salanio and Salarino, he was compelled to see as the Jew saw, and feel as the Jew felt. The audience showed its appreciation of his efforts in the stillness which pervaded the house during his speeches, and the hearty applause which followed them. Miss Flanders, as Portia the lover and Portia the judge, was thoroughly enjoyable. In the court scene, and where Bassanio made his choice of the caskets, her rendition of the two parts showed her fine interpretation of the different characters. As the devoted friend or lover, McIntyre as Bassanio posed equally as well. Possessed of a deep, rich voice, knowing well how to use it, he was intently followed in his love passages and in his words of cheer and comfort to his friend Antonio. The experience of Antonio with the Jew was well set forth by Myers. As the generous friend, the pleading debtor, or the unfortunate one resigned to his fate, he was able to represent each character in his own inimitable way. The members of the class have worked long and faithfully, and success crowned their efforts. The proceeds of the entertainment will go to the library which Fisk hopes to have in the near future. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. James Claiborne, of 1615 Patterson street, gave a birthday party last Monday in honor of their son, James.

Roman, the talented specialist, will address the Allen Christian Endeavor League at St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday evening at seven o'clock. Dr. Roman is one of the leading thinkers of the age. He has traveled and studied abroad, and is a clean reasoner and a pleasant entertainer. It is always a rare treat to hear Dr. Roman, and no one can listen to his words of instruction without being benefitted. The endeavor league is making strenuous efforts to prepare for the entertaining of the National Convention of Endeavors in July, and they feel highly complimented in having Dr. Roman to address the league on next Sunday evening at seven o'clock. NEW OFFICERS OF ALLEN LEAGUE. The installation of officers who will serve the Allen Christian Endeavor League, will take place at the Saint Paul A. M. E. Church on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. This will come in conjunction with the regular business meeting which is usually held on the first Sunday in each month, while the other Sundays in the month are only for special programs and devotional exercise. The following officers will be installed: Prof. J. B. Batte, President; Miss M. M. Wyms, Vice President; Miss Ella Dunlap, Secretary; Miss Willa Nichols, Assis-Treasurer; Mr. Burton Campbell, Chorister. The friends and visitors are expected in large numbers. MILAM NOTES. Two mass meeting have been held in vicinity, one at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, the other at First Baptist Church. The following churches made pledges for Roger Williams University: Metropolitan Baptist Church, $125.00; St. John Baptist Church, $100, 00. Others have promised to send pledges and money at an early date. NEW MASONIC LODGE Through the efforts of Prof. R. C. Jernagin, a new Masonic lodge, to be known as the East Nashville Lodge, has been organized. Tuesday night East Star Lodge conferred the finishing degrees upon about twenty-five or thirty of the members of the new lodge and these will meet to-night at the Odd Fellows' Hall to complete the organization. The lodge is composed almost exclusively of young men, a majority of whom live on the east side of the river. The initiatory work was conducted with that thoroughness that characterizes the work of East Star. Mrs. P. J. Ewing entertained in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Williams and their little daughter, Ethel. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Balke; Misses McCants, Eugenia C. and Mattie D. Walker; Messrs. Scott, Smith, Andrews, Sawyer, McFall and King. The hostess did all in her power to make things pleasant. At half past eleven they were ushered into the dining room where a two-course menu was served, afterwhich many lovely toasts were given. Mrs. Williams left the next day for Birmingham, Ala., Mr. Williams for Chicago. We wish them much success and hope to see them next fall. Mrs. Sam Harris left for Kansas City, Kan., to visit her mother. FRANKLIN NOTES. Miss Mittle Halfacre, of East Franklin, who has been spending some time in Nashville, has returned home, and entered upon her school work last Monday morning. Miss Lula Halfacre, who has been visiting friends and relatives at this place and in Nashville, has returned to Rochester, New York. It is much to the honor of the Households that it has always recognized its responsibility. The most important interest given into my hands is that of supervising and promoting the work of the Juveniles of the Households. Bro. H. A. Maloy, Sister Mary Miller and Sister Lotte Smith are due great honor for their work toward the Juveniles. The Supervisors will join in and give great praise for the privilege. A great advance has been made in the enrollment. The following table shows the report: Amount Collected for Year 1906.

Dunlap, Mesdames Mary Miller, Lotie Smith, Bro. H. A. Maloy, Mesdames Gracy Guest, Mollie Pickett, Sister Bell. Number of financial members, 85. BOOKER WASHINGTON COMING. Unless the unexpected happens to prevent, Nashville will be favored with a visit from Dr. Booker T. Washington, next month. The famous wizard of Tuskegee has accepted the invitation extended by Walden University to deliver the annual address to the graduating classes of the Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges. The graduating exercises of Meharry were to have been held Monday night, April 1, but the date has been changed to Friday night, March 29. The latter date will better suit Dr. Washington, who, it is understood, has a number of engagements about this season of the year. Dr. Washington's last visit to this city, January one year ago, proved that he is a prime favorite with all the people of Nashville, for wherever he appeared, he was greeted by audiences that could be limited only by the capacity of the buildings. The exercises of the graduating classes will be held in the Ryman Aultorium, probably better known as the Gospel Tabernacle. Dr. Washington's address added to the large clientele which from year to year attends these exercises will doubtless fill the large building to its utmost limits. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The regular Normal meeting of the city teachers took place in this building Tuesday, the 19th Inst. The entire body of teachers was divided into two classes. Prof. H. C. Weber, Superintendent of the city schools, made an interesting talk to the teachers, in which he advised them to prepare themselves to teach the Manual Training as laid down in the Hand-book on Manual Training. He stated in his address that everything pointed to its introduction next year in the colored schools. He then introduced Mr. Eugene Gilliland, who has charge of Manual Training in the white schools and Mr. D. M. Andrews, his assistant, to the teachers. Mr. Gilliland was then placed in charge of the teachers of the higher grades and Mr. Andrews in charge of the teachers of the lower grades. Both of these professors gave a hasty and concise review of the Manual Training work as done by them in the white schools. It is understood by your reporter that the Pearl High School will be made the Manual Training Center for the colored children. It is current among the teaching fraternity that all the seventh and eighth grades in the city, and possibly the sixth grades also, will be transferred to this building and located here. The Primary grades already in the building will be sent to one of the new school to be erected, or to any of the old schools, which may be most convenient. Just exactly how this will work, or what is to be done with the old teachers on the first floor of Pearl, your reporter has not heard. It is believed, however, that the fertility, power and resourcefulness of the Superintendent's mind will suggest a plan which will be successful. This school was favored with a visit from Mrs. F. G. Smith, the wife of the principal, last Thursday. It has been a long time since Mrs. Smith has peeped in on the school, and she is invited to call again. Miss Charlie Rosenberg and Miss Grace Frank, students of Fisk University, also honored us with a visit on Washington's birthday. These ladies visited every class-room and expressed themselves as surprised and benefitted by what they saw. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES. DOUGLASS LODGE M921 CINCINNATI, OHIO. We manufacture K. P.

"Resolved, That government ownership of natural monopolies is best for the public good," was the subject of an interesting debate in the Senior Class in Economics Monday and Tuesday. Affirmative speakers: G. T. Overstreet and Miss Florence G. Jackson. Negative: B. W. Payne and Miss M. M. Houston. On the first day an hour and a half was taken up by the speakers in presenting their main arguments. On the second day nearly an hour was taken up by Payne and Overstreet in rebuttal. Both sides had spent much time and labor in preparing their arguments, and the efficiency and weight of the arguments on both sides were shown by the fact that according to vote of the class the debate was practically a draw, four members of the class voting in favor of the negative and three members and Professor Morrow voting in favor of the affirmative. Professor Scribner, with her Sophomore Rhetoric Class, visited the first day of the debate. Other visitors were President Merrill, Miss Ballentine and Miss Boynton, and on the second day Mr. J. C. Russell. Miss Ross, the acting president of the class, was ill those two days, and Mr. H. R. Merry was elected to preside. Mr. H. F. Mitchell was timekeeper. Mrs. H. F. Mitchell, wife of one of the members of the Senior Class, left for her home, Lake Providence, La., Monday night, after a pleasant visit of more than two months. Mrs. Mitchell made a host of friends while here, and THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 1. 1907. especially was she dear to the members of the Senior Class who had adopted her as "mother." She will probably visit us again at Commencement. Wednesday morning, the 100th anniversary of Longfellow's birth, Dr. Merrill gave a very instructive and interesting talk in chapel on Longfellow and his home life. He read two of Longfellows poems, "The Psalm of Life" and "The Children's Hour." Instead of the usual Jubilee song, Prof. J. W. Work sang "Onaway," from Longfellow's Hiawatha, set to music by the great Negro composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The dedicatory exercises of Chase Hall, to be held on the afternoon of March 6, will be in charge of the visitors from the North and East who will spend the entire day here. Wednesday, February 20, the post-season game between the Sophomores and the Bandits was played off, the former winning by a score of 10 to 7. Hadnott, captain of the Bandits, and Smith, the Sophomore's center, each threw two baskets from the field, and Richmond, Bandit, and Dawson, and Brumfield, Sophomores, got one basket each. Brumfield made six successful free throws out of ten chances, while Hadnott got only one out of five trials. Standing of Teams. Team. P. W. L. Per.

Some time towards the last of March Professor Andrews, of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, will give a recital in Memorial Chapel. Professor Andrews has been here several times before, and the music lovers of Nashville need no introduction to him, nor do they need a second invitation to come and hear him. Sunday morning, March 3, the Lord's Supper will be celebrated in Union Church. Those to unite with the church are Mr. A. M. Lyle, of Tennessee, as associate member, and Miss Douglass E. Branson, of Arkansas, and Miss Desrette Hodges, of Illinois, on confession. The pastor, Prof. C. W. Morrow, will preach. The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday was a missionary meeting. It was in charge of Professor Waterman and Miss Rhule. The meeting on March 3 will be led by Mr. W. E. Key, of the Sophomore Class. Last Sunday the Y. P. S. C. E. was led by Miss Ethel Glenn. The Junior College Class will repeat the play "Merchant of Venice," in the near future for the benefit of Howard Chapel. Miss Lizzie Wells, who is in the music department of Fisk University, will lead Christian Endeavor at Howard Chapel Sunday night. Among the visitors who are to be with us next Wednesday are Rev. Frank Pitch, D. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., who will deliver the dedicatory address, Rev. Lewyllen Pratt, D. D., of Norwich, Conn., Rev. Jas. Cooper, D.

Miss Pearl Erwin left school last Saturday on account of illness. She is expected to return in a few days. Her home is Bellbuckle, Teenn. The members of the D. L. V., Decagynian and Tanner Art Clubs are concentrating their efforts towards furnishing their new club room. Little Sonoma Talley, who was sick so long with scarlet fever, is well again, and Professor Talley is again performing his school duties. SOUTHERN TRIP. Tuskegee is an international word known and read by all men on either side of the waters, and everybody feels the keenest interest in the institution, be he white or black, for education is blended into all nations alike. If the brother in black is ignorant his shadow falls on his white brother and God has made of one blood all notions though the skin may be white, black or red and yet the same blood unchanged and what is the interest of one man must be the welfare of all. From the time the Emancipation Proclamation was put in force until now the races have been contending for more light and wisdom, and it is believed to be the best money a parent can spend on his children. The same money given to a heir might be used as the Prodigal used his; but an educated person can't spend his education. He must hold to it. Though he may not use it to the best advantage, yet he can't be counted as one without refinement. Education is good for all; though he may be a prisoner of a free man, rich or poor, white or black, he can find enjoyment in intelligence. If education made George Washington a great man, why should it be thought strange that it should make Booker Washington a great man? The same advantage given to all alike must surely produce a nation of great and useful people. Some nationalities will be greater than others, the same as ours; some seed sown produces greater harvest than others. Some soil is better, some has a greater advantage in the season and some has better attention than the other. This is well illustrated by our great men and women of the race. Any one can easily see what education has done for our race. Will it not compare favorably with any other people under the same circumstances? We have furnished our ratio of farmers, mechanics, business and professional men. The race has always stood side by side with other races to do its duty whether in the time of peace or war, and if our good deeds were as widely published as our bad ones, in what a different attitude it would place us before the world. I for one would not object to our bad being told if the good we are doing could only be known; as it is told of Martin Luther while bound in prison, the "devil" wanting to add to his misery said, "Don't you know you are a sinner, an insurer, a preacher of false doctrine and a bad man in general?" Luther said, "Grant all you say is true if you will add these words, 'The blood of Jesus Christ cleansed from all sins,' granting that all is said of us is true." If the world could only know what Tuskegee is doing for the uplifting of humanity we would be willing to rest our case with them. Tuskegee is a city of schools, consisting of twenty-three hundred acres of land with eighty buildings, and the grounds are inhabited by about three thousand people of the race. Tuskegee, Ala., is forty miles east of Montgomery and is one of the most beautiful towns in the state, situated on a site overlooking all the adjacent territory. The scenery about it is not excelled in all the South and seems just adapted for the purpose it is used for. The farming is done largely by the students on a scientific plan, with their hundreds of mules, horses, plows, harrows, wagons, carts and other implements. They cultivate this immense tract of land and raise and consume all their wheat, corn, vegetables, etc. To visit their large kitchen and dining hall and see eight or ten hundred pounds of meat and the great bakery, turning out hundreds of loaves of bread for each meal, besides bushels of onions, potatoes, turnips, etc., to feed sixteen hundred seated at the table at once, one would judge it is no ordinary family Tuskegee has to provide for. The dairy contains one hundred and seventy-five milk cows, and last year they made 16,332 pounds of butter. Every cow has a name and a stall as cleanly kept as care can make it, the students study the cow, the milk, the butter, as well as the food. The whole analysis of the dairy is studied to protection and the results are no dairy in the country can excel it. The students make the furniture used in the buildings, such as bedsteads, dressers, washstands, chairs, tables, book cases and mattresses, and nowhere have we seen schools so well furnished as the building at Tuskegee. The machinery, wagons, plows, bugles, harnesses, etc., are all manufactured on the grounds. Last year the tailor-shop turned out over 1,000 new pieces; the millinery 1,412 hats and other articles; the dressmaking 1,309 peices, besides 2,309 pieces of plain sewing, and the mattress division 5,118 mattresses. 1,367 brooms and baskets were manufactured. Besides Tuskegee makes its own brick and builds all of her own buildings. Among he students are all grades of mechanics such as architects, stone masons, brick layers, carpenters, tinners, plasterers, painters, etc. They have one of the finest electrical plants that can be found anywhere. All the instruments are installed, lines run and buildings wired and lighted by her own boys; in the foundry they mould all castings in use. The landscape gardener has charge of the greenhouses and the grounds are as artistically arranged as in any city in the south. The young men are organized in a regiment of cadets and are drilled in the latest methods used in the United States army. Special attention is given to gymnastics for the young women and they have a well arranged gymnasium fitted up and two large bath houses with swimming pools are connected with the men and women's dormitories. The Library Building is the gift of Carnegie; the architecture is colonial and cost $20,000; it is two story and is 50 by 110. An effort is being made to secure every pamphlet, book, newspaper, magazine and other works published by our people, so that this library will be the center of information regarding literature published by the race. The Bible training school has an enrollment of seventy-three this year and has sent out fifty-three graduates. The chapel seats over 2,000 persons and it is one of the grandest sights to see the auditorium filled with young men and women, and their choir of over 100 voices accompanied by the orchestra of 18 pieces, all joining in singing anthems of praise to our God, who has redeemed us and given us such a privilege to worship him under the guidance of Tuskegee. The constant aim is to correlate the literary and industrial training that the student cannot get one without the other; hence the students go to school one day and the next day he works at his trade and still to accommodate all, the school is operated day and night. You never find an idler in Tuskegee; every hour must be accounted for. There is a great demand for the 'Tuskegee graduates. A position awaits them and as soon as they receive their diplomas they are placed at the head of some enterprise. The Tuskegee school opened about twenty-five years ago in a rented house with thirty pupils; to-day the total value of property, equipment and endowment is about $2,075,000 with an annual pay roll of $192,152.63 for teachers' salary and current expenses. Tuskegee is not only a great manufacturing school, but it is a great money center, and it is the magnet that has attracted the wealthiest and best people of the land. At the head of this institution stands Prof. Booker T. Washington, who has made the school the greatest normal and industrial institution of the age, and year by year he and the school have increased in popularity and usefulness and before them stand to-day a vast multitude of people anxious for a continuance of this great work.

LEGISLATIVE MOB LAW. Texas, through its state senate Monday gave an excellent exhibition of mob law, when the charges against Joseph Bailey, United States Senator from that state, were cast aside even before the committee which had been appointed to make an investigation had time to draft its report. The same spirit actuated this performance as that which in defiance to all laws and customs take a man's life. As to whether Senator Bailey is guilty of the charges which were brought against him, it is not for us to say. But the reasonable thing for the friends of the accused man, who are in the majority in both branches of the legislature, to have done, was to let the committee appointed to hear the facts present its conclusions and then be governed by its findings. Bailey's probity concerns a greater number of people than those of his immediate constituency, for as a Senator of the United States he must legislate for us all. The snap judgment of his friends, instead of placing him in the light of a persecuted man, really makes him appear as a shrewd, designing politician, pulling wires to have himself endorsed at all hazards and gives color to the many charges brought against him. Since the Senate has the power to judge as to the fitness of its members, it is to be noped that an investigation will be ordered by that body. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. The Colorado Statesman, published at Denver, Col., in its last issue, referring to the report that Collier's had ordered its agents to refuse the business of colored people, says: "In last week's topic under this head we spoke of the great publishing houses that have cancelled Negro patronage because of slackness on part of the colored trade to meet promptly business obligations. We now call attention to another line of business that is refusing colored business. Remember these articles are not printed to 'knock' the race, this paper is a 'defender' of race pride and honor. Our only and sole motive is to arouse the race to rise up and meet business demands, and to show itself ready and competent to do business in a business way. The last of the great white insurance companies to shut its doors to colored patronage is the New York Life Insurance Company. It is, as we have said before, not that we are dangerous risks, or that we do not pay high enough premiums, but because of our dilatoriness in making our payments when due. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has issued in- NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 27, 1907. feerfully recommend "The Nashville one desiring to reach the colored people the great success of our sale to paper advertising. Respectfully, AHAM LINCOLN LAND CO., We can cheerfully recommend "The Nashville Globe" to any one desiring to reach the colored people of this vicinity. We ascribe the great success of our sale to our colored newspaper advertising. Respectfully, ABRAHAM LINCOLN LAND CO.. structions to all its agents not to accept any more colored business after January 1, 1907. This company is known as 'Industrial Insurance,' collecting premiums at 10, 20 and 30 cents per week. In the past it has been customary for all of the Metropolitan companies to solicit Negro business, but one by one they are gradually cutting it out. There is hardly an old line company of standing that now solicits Negro business and most of them are refusing risks when made directly at the home office. The New York Life accepts Negro applicants, but does not solicit this business. There are only three policies on lives of Negroes on file at the general agent's office. The subject is considered of interest as tending to show the growing unreliability of the Negro in the matters of business. This paper is not preaching, it is simply publishing the facts and calls upon the race everywhere to look the issue square in the face and alter our ways before the condition becomes irreparable and hopeless." There is undoubtedly too little regard for their business obligations upon the part of a large number of our people. If we had our wishes all of our insurance business would be conducted by Negroes as would be our publishing interests but such is not thecase and it will not be until we as a race learn to hold inviolable all of our obligations. PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE. In a special election held this week Clarksville has decided to abolish her saloons. A merry war is on in Knoxville between the saloon and the antisaloon forces to have that city change its charter so as to come under the provision of the Pendleton Bill which would eliminate all the saloons. In Chattanooga stringent laws regulating the operation of saloons, eliminating the chairs and card tables have been adopted. Memphis is for higher license and segregation while in Nashville the fight for segregation and Sunday closing has been crowned with success. In striking contrast to the fight in this city for the Sunday closing is the fight being made in Chicago. In that city Mayor Edward F. Dunne was renominated on a platform endorsing open saloon on the Sabbath. Chicago, however, is a cosmopolitan city. The temperance people are in the saddle and from their work is bound to result much good. Fanatics, however, should be kept in the background. John Temple Graves, that monomaniac who dictates the policy of the Atlanta Georgian, has the temerity to call Bishop Henry McNeil Turner a radical and an agitator, while he refers to B. J. Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, as a real Negro leader. Bishop Turner's utterances often border on the style of Ben Tillman, but he comes nearer representing the opinion of the great mass of our people North or South, than does our friend of The Independent. But Graves calling Turner a radical! The person who invented the fable of the pot calling the kettle black, certainly must have had the editor of the Georgian in mind. The Editor of the Washington Bee having deluged Secretary Cortelyou, ex-chairman of the republican National Committee, with open letters and addressed two or three to President Roosevelt, has now turned his attention to the United States Senate and House of Representatives. All of these communications are red-hot, but To Whom It May Concern;- By N. M. Steward. if what the Philadelphia Tribune says is true, Editor Chase needs to address a few open letters to that great mass of intelligent colored citizenry of Washington. We shall soon have our brilliant Senator Edward Ward Carmack back in the state as a private citizen. This is one time that we wish that the "Knight of the Red Feather" was on intimate terms with the powers that be at Washington so that he could be sent to some foreign post. We would miss him, but absence is said to make the heart grow fonder. The Louisville Kentucky Standard has increased its size from a fourpage to an eight-page, while the original news-matter has been reduced from four pages to two pages. Evidently the people of the the Falls City believe in quantity. Richmond, Va., has a whist club which sports the cognomen, "Water Wagon Whist Club." We did not know that the prohibitionist had captured "Old Virginny!" COMMUNICATION WHAT THE NEGRO OF TO-DAY CONTENDS FOR. To the Nashville Globe: Of late much has been written and said about social equality. Prejudiced writers and orators say that the supreme desire of the Negro of to-day is to mingle with the white race in all of the various social circles of life. That great breeder of race prejudice, Thomas Dixon, Jr., has said that the Negro reaches his climax of sainthood when he marries a white woman. Again, Thomas Nelson Page, of whose bitterness toward the truly progressive Negro all readers know, discusses social quality at some length in the March number of the McClure's Magazine. He says that "the Negroes for the most part understand by social equality * * * the right to stand with white women on precisely the same ground as that on which white men stand with them." And in another part of the same article he says, "For the new Negroes' aspiration is to mix with the whites." Numerous such expressions constantly issue from those who make it a business to stir the baser passions of men and thus intensify the spirit of opposition and riot. It is absolutely false to say that "the new Negroes' aspiration is to mix with the whites." The representative members of the race take a just pride in our race identity and seek vigorously and continuously to maintain it. In our yearning for a higher and better state of things, social equality does not come in for even the slightest consideration. In the light of facts the whites have done far more in the way of mingling the two races than we have; and if the great Southern leaders and admirers would do more Christian work among the male members of their race and thus repress the desire on their part "to stand with" black women, there would be less of friction and more of purity. What the Negro of to-day contends for is an opportunity to exercise fully all of the rights of manhood and citizenship. He contends for the spirit of the American Constitution. He contends for virtue and peace and happiness. His aspiration is not "to mix with the whites," but to prove himself their equal in matters of true education and merit. The goal of his ambition is to make his a race great and powerful on earth—one which will exalt civilization to grander heights and quicken the spirit of Christian brotherhood. The Negro of to-day contends for amicable relationship between himself and the white man, and he will do any honorable thing to maintain and strengthen that relationship. But he will not in order to have great showers of approbation sent down upon him from the so-called superior race, sacrifice any of the principles of manhood. He believes that each race has rights which the other is morally bound to respect; and so in respecting he looks to be respected. He believes that individuals ought to be accepted on their worth, and so the extent that Instructions and Lessons given in Piano, Organ, Violin, Mandolin, Guitar, Voice and Harmony.

He firmly believes that it is only a matter of time when genuine merit will be generally appreciated and liberally rewarded; and herein he is furnished abiding consolation and hope.. When "justice returns from brutish beasts" and our nation comes to the place where it will recognize capacity because it is capacity, then the now glowing flames of prejudice will be extinguished and the good and wise of both races will love and help one another in every possible way. So it is not social equality that the Negro of to-day contends for. He sees nothing in it that could afford either beauty or strength; and he is concerned only about the tangible things of life. While law and order are being mocked and Dixon and Page and others of their stamp are preaching on the Negro and social equality, we will continue to move onward and upward, gaining all the time a more vital place in this Republic. Energy being well applied, we can no more fail of our aspirations than God and justice can fail. JAMES C. RUSSELL, March 1, 1907.

He finished his grammar school education in the city schools of Nashville, then entered Fisk and finished the college department with the class of 1903. While looking around to see what profession he would like to take, he was absent from Nashville only about two years, then returned and decided to take a medical course. He entered Meharry and from the beginning has shown remarkable ability as a pupil. He has studied hard in order to get all there was to be had out of his studies. He has been recently offered a position as one of the interns at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., and will possibly leave this week to accept. This will give him a wonderful opportunity to further fit himself for the profession. But in accepting the intern, he must reject the recent honor thrust upon him by his class in making him their salutatorian. In the face of the advantages to be derived from the stay in the hospital at Washington, and because he must go at once, if he expects to accept the offer, the class decided that they could allow him to go with their best wishes. Hence they unanimously agreed. Just who will be elected to succeed Mr. Hunter as the salutatorian has not been learned. All of Nashville will no doubt feel proud to send forth into the medical profession such a promising young man, who was so singularly honored by such a large class. He stands well not only in his class and at school, but with the people of the city, many of whom have known him since boyhood. Just where he will locate after leaving the Freedman Hospital is not known. --- No. 2, Seven Drawers.

As the closing days of the Meharry Medical College draw nigh, and as the senior classes begin to make preparations to bid adieu to old friends and familiar scenes, one begins to look around to see the personalities of the class. Many familiar faces are seen therein. Some of the young men have spent seven and eight years attending school in Nashville, but as a rule they come from distant cities. It is often the case that the home boys go elsewhere to finish because of the old maxim "A Prophet is not without honor save in his own country." This however, has not been the case with Richard Cheatham Hunter, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Hunter of 1309 Hynes street, who finishes with the class of 1907. Meharry. Young Mr. Hunter has spent all of his life in this city, having been born corner Fifth avenue and Broadway THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1907.

GLOBE PUBLISHING COMPANY. D. A. HART, MANAGER. One of the beautiful characteristics of his career has been that he has been one of the few self-supporting young men, notwithstanding his long college career at the two schools, he has managed to make his own way. His future will be watched with the deepest interest by his friends and acquaintances at home. STRAWS POINTING THE WAY The Wind is Blowing—Impressions Gleaned From the Court Martial of Major Penrose of the 25th Jaffrey Special to the Globe. San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 21, 1907. The Penrose court martial, which is in session daily at Fort Sam Houston, is still much talked of, and especially is the testimony that is being brought out daily becoming more interesting. The sentiment of the people has been changed almost to the reverse. There was a time when some really did think that members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry stationed at Brownsville, Texas (Ft. Brown), had something to do with the recent disturbances at that post. But since the Penrose court martial has been in session here and since the senate investigating committee opened its inquiry in Washington, it is easily seen that the testimony brought out and the many startling facts disclosed has changed the verdict. There are hardly five persons to be found in this great historic city, which bears a reputation as Texas' "Cradle of Liberty," and is better known as the "Alamo City," who believe the members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry had anything to do with the "shooting-up." Government soldiers have been stationed here since the Texas-Mexican War, in fact, since the occupation of Texas by the United States. Old citizens here are familiar with the records and the treatment of all soldiers. Each of the four Negro regiments (the ninth and tenth calavaries, the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth infantries) has been stationed at this point. Every one of the four regiments made deep impressions upon the people while they were occupying these posts by the gentlemanly way in which they deported themselves. Truly they are all soldiers and have been accustomed to being under fire. They could not have occupied these Western posts along the Texas border and maintain such peace as they did between outlaws and the state had they been other than soldiers. That region of country --- south of San Antonio to the Rio Grande and west of San Antonio as far as El Paso, which includes Ft. Bliss, Ft. Stockton, Ft. Ringgold, Ft. Brown, measured from Ft. Sam Houston, contains some of the places in which these regiments have made good the oft repeated assertion that "They are soldiers." When it is remembered that such men as Allee, the famous outlaw and his type, held the boards in West Texas for years, it can easily be seen how the city of Brownsville could have been shot up by men who would possibly do it just for the sport that there was in it. Allee himself, who seemed to have taught the people on the border how to create a row, has ridden into Lara-do and other Texas border towns on many an evening and closed up the town, riding out of it without being molested. Then, too, one might take a five-dollar bill and hire as many Mexicans as there are half dollars in a five dollar bill and they would do the work for you. None would ever be the wiser. It will be remembered in this city that the late and beloved policeman Harris was deliberately murdered by a Mexican, who testified that he got for his work the paltry sum of $1.00. It would seem that all evidence now being brought out in the Penrose court martial will convince the public, and it is hoped the chief executive of this "Land of the free and home of the brave," that the Brownsville affair was a deep laid conspiracy to wreck the post at Ft. Brown, because Negro soldiers had been sent there to replace white ones who were sent elsewhere. After the mischief was done and was reported as a soldier's disturbance the matter was allowed to go that way, and is now referred to as "Negro Soldiers shooting up the town." The surprise created in this city after reading the despatch from Washington, where the soldier testified that he had been instructed by Major Penrose to take the two ladies (his wife and another lady) to places of safety during the night, notwithstanding the rumored assault on the white woman the day before by soldiers, had a telling effect and ran up the stock of Negro manhood in the army, as did the confession of the hotel clerk who said that he only heard voices in the rear of the hotel and judging by their voices they were members of the twenty-fifth infantry it showed a weakening on the part of the citizens of Brownsville. The testimony given by Dr. C. M. Thorne, a prominent dentist from Brownsville on Tuesday, was possibly the weakest and most discredited testimony during the proceedings of the court martial, except that of the hotel woman herself. The doctor was considerably confused when the soldierly Col. Glenn began his cross-examination. Indeed it looked at one time as though he would contradict every bit of his testimony. He confesses that he did not see the men nor does he know whether they were Mexicans, whites or Negroes. He only heard men talking. His testimony stating that the shots came from the direction of the post, bears out the testimony of others who state that the shot was in the rear of the post on the outside. The balance of the time of the court martial will be consumed in reviewing the testimony. It is hardly expected that Major Penrose will be convicted. Evidence is not strong enough against him to sustain the charge of "Neglect of duty." That every soldier was accounted for at roll call, that his order had been issued and obeyed, which was that no soldier leave the post that night, seems evident. REV. J. P. ROBINSON COMING. At the next regular Board meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which is to be held on the second Tuesday in March, it is learned that Rev, J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., will be in attendance. He is a member of this board as well as chairman of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Robinson is supposed to meet both the Publishing Board and the Home Mission Board, but owing to the distance and extreme pressure of business, he is not always present. He has not been to Nashville since just prior to the meeting of the National Convention, but is always represented by proxy. Dr. Robinson is one of the leading ministers in the Baptist denomination; he is pastor of the First Baptist Church, Little Rock, Ark., which has a membership of 1,200. He is also Vice President of the Capital City Savings Bank and the author of several books. His last "Sermons and Sermonettes," is now about on its third edition. As a minister, he is one of the logical few of the old which God left in the South. SPRUCE STREET CHURCH REVI VAL. A revival meeting is now progressing at the old Mother Church on Spruce street. One particular character about this revival is that it was begun on Washington's birthday, which keeps up the wish of the late Father Merry; it was always his custom to begin his revivals on the 22d of February, and thus celebrate the anniversary of the "Father of the Country" and at the same time be- gin an active work for the saving of souls. This year Rev. T. J. Townsend, of Brownsville, Tennessee, who was recently called to the pastorate of Spruce Street Church, is conducting the revival. Already tremendous success has been met with. Up to Wednesday, 30 confessions had been reported with many more seeking for the faith. Rev. Townsend proposes to make this the most vigorous religious campaign ever held in Nashville. Members and friends of the church, irrespective of the denomination, are showing their interest and sympathy in the movement by contributing their presence. An appreciative audience has been noticed during the first few days of the meeting. Rev. Townsend declares that he will not feel that he has been noticed during the first few souls are added to the church and many more converted. A new and effective way of advertising this meeting has been inaugurated, that is, badges are being placed on all who will wear them, showing that the revival is in progress and that they are in sympathetic co-operation. MR. AND MRS. KING ENTER- TAINED. Mr. and Mrs. Coffee, of 629 Ewing avenue, entertained Wednesday night in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. King, who were recently married. A limited number of friends were present who indulged in whist to the strains of music from a graphophone. At a late hour an elaborate five-course menu was served. Many happy congratulations and toasts were showered upon the bride and groom. GOODLETTSVILLE NOTES. Mr. William Johnson, one of our most energetic young men, gains much inspiration and race pride from reading the Globe. Miss Anna L. Hendricks returned from Nashville last Sunday morning and will spend a few weeks at home. Mr. Luther Crosswye, so long a faithful deacon of the Congregational Church, is now suffering with lagippe. Mr. David Cantrell has been restored to health again. One of our first subscribers, Mr. E. P. Dozier, has, on account of much sickness in his family, been compelled to drop the Globe for a while; but conditions are growing, better and he will renew his subscription soon. Through the efforts of Rev. R. C. McLendon, a teacher of instrumental music has been secured, and many of the young people will join the class. Miss Kittle Garrett is always prompt in renewing her subscription. May all follow her example. WHIST CLUB. The Twentieth Century Whist Club held its third weekly meeting since its organization, Thursday evening, Feb. 21, 1907, at the residence of Miss Annie Cheek, Eighth avenue, North.

C. Eason, Misses Annie Cheek, Johnnie D. Blackwell, Willie May Turner, Messrs. R. C. Eason, Thos. Ewing, Jas. M. Foster, Guy Bordenhammer, John Sims, Dr. Chas. Yearwood and Wyman Brady.

King, mother of the groom, where they were served with an elaborate six o'clock dinner which consisted of several courses. Those seated around the dining table were Mr. and Mrs. W. T. King, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. King, Mrs. M. S. King, Misses Mary Clark, Ophelia Alexander, Nellie E. King, Little Connie May King, Dr. Oliver Reynolds and Mr. Waymon Box.

ADMISSION - 10 cents. THE VIRGINIA BRAND VS. THE NASHVILLE BRAND. The recent controversy between the Forum, of Springfield, Ill., the St. Luke Herald, of Richmond, Va., and the Nashville Globe concerning the Nashville brand, continues to grow in interest, especially since the fair sex has taken it up themselves. There did not appear to be much to it as long as the newspapers themselves were vieing with each other, but things have suddenly take a change. It is said that Springfield, Ill., has undoubtedly some of the most beautiful girls belonging to the race. While every one knows that Nashville, Tenn., as the "Athens of the South," has produced one Southern beauty after another, while Richmond, Old Virginia, is often looked upon as the birth place of feminine beauty. "Nashville does not and will not back down from the race," said a charming belle a few days ago, while the following comes in a recent letter received by a member of the Globe force from one of Virginia's fair sex: "I note the controversy in the Globe regarding the Nashville brand of girls with Springfield and Old Virgilia. I warn you. Do not challenge the Old Dominion for a run of pictures for you will surely run up the white flag. Virginia boasts of many fair daughters." The writer of the letter was entirely too modest to include herself in the race. Her recent photograph has been seen by a Globe representative and would certainly make good if put on exhibition. Some of the ladies of Nashville declare emphatically that they will not concede defeat until they are defeated. GLOBE MAN IN JACKSON, TENN. Jackson, Tenn., is one of the thriving cities of Tennessee; it is located on the N. C. & St. L., Illinois Central, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, about half way between Nashville and Memphis. Located in Jackson is one of the four Negro Publishing Houses in the United States; it is known as the Colored Methodist Episcopal Publishing House. Although not calling for a deal of attention in the public eye, this Negro Publishing Plant under the management of Dr. H. Bullock, who is serving his second term as agent, is doing wonderful work in the advancement of Negro enterprises. The institution is located on one of the principal thoroughfares of Jackson and can boast of being one of the few Negro Printing Houses owning and operating a Mergenthaler linotype machine. The young lady who operates the machine holds possibly the distinction of being the only Negro woman in the United States able to manage this intricate piece of machinery. The Globe reporter was entertained royally by the manager and employees of this institution; he had the pleasure of meeting Mr. E. W. Meek, the general foreman, who for sixteen years has been at this one institution as its general foreman and manager and who represents them at all times. Mr. Meek is an experienced, scientific, yet unassuming composer, pressman, bookbinder, and, in fact, an all around workman. He has managed with such perfection this establishment until his service is almost indispensable. He also met Rev. R. T. Brown, D. D., editor of the TAYLOR & CO.

Church and one of the few religious journals that do not fill its columns with patent matter and unwholesome advertising. Its editorial columns are replete with a review of current topics and Dr. Brown sees to it that the appearance is kept up to the standard. The Globe reporter ventures the assertion that outside of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, the C. M. E. Printing House at Jackson is the most complete Negro printing and publishing establishment in the United States. Notwithstanding the membership of this church is not quite 300,000, they have an enormous circulation and do much to bring up the standard of the Negro. The C. M. E. Church only has five Bishops, namely, Bishops L. H. Holsey, D. D., Atlanta, Ga.; Isaac Lane, D. D., Jackson, Tenn.; R. S. Williams, D. D., Augusta, Ga.; Elias Cottrell, D. D., Holly Springs, Miss.; C. H. Phillips, D. D., A. M., Nashville, Tenn.; but there is a discussion as to whether new Bishops shall be elected at the next conference. It is also rumored, but the rumor has not been confirmed, that an effort was on foot to move this publishing house either to Memphis or Nashville. Nashville of of course has the better of the argument, because of its already excellent standing and rating as the largest publishing center of the United States except New York, hence should they move from Jackson, they would in all probability locate in Nashville, where they ought to be. This would render a deal of strength to the already crowning importance of Nashville as a Negro publishing house center. Dr. Bullock is a man of excellent business qualities, who knows the power of the press and knows the advantage of having Negroes read Negro literature. The condition of the institution is reported to be the most prosperous in the history of its existence. This year's business has already shown an increase over the same period last year. GOING TO OHIO. Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas, of Columbus, Ohio, has invited Rev. C. H. Clark to deliver the sermon dedicating his new church in Columbus, O. The sermon is to be preached in the early part of May. Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas is building a magnificent church edifice and having attended school in Nashville and pastored in Tennessee, he is well acquainted with the Tennessee ministers. Hence it is his desire to have one of their representatives come to the Buckeye State. In order to accept this invitation Dr. Clark was forced to decline one just given him by the people of Hopkinsville, where he usually goes each year in the interest of the school. Rev. Thomas has made a wonderful record in Ohio. The last improvement entered into was the placing of an order with the National Baptist Publishing Board for a fine grade of church pews and a handsome pulpit suit. The pews and pulpit suit will aggregate about $1,000 in cost and when installed in this new church will show up the good work being done by this young giant. MISS KIMBALL IN LOUISVILLE. Miss M. M.

Dawson, captain, plays the position of guard, is of medium height and very fast, used to carry the ball up the field and is a very clean player. Green, guard, is very good to watch his man, but very rough and fouls often. Smith, center, is a good basket thrower, but handicapped by being very unsteady on his feet. Key, forward, is one of the best of the year and hard to be watched and a sure basket thrower. Brumfield, forward, easily eludes his man and is dangerous at all times. Outlaws. Sykes, forward, is tall, very fast and gets rid of the ball at all angles and easily loses his man. Merry, captain, is a very versatile player and plays either forward or guard with ease. Wade, center, can be depended upon to get the ball to his men and for his size is exceptionally fast. White, guard, always watches his man and gets the ball at critical stages of the game. Boutte, forward, is good in keeping the ball in his territory and also in passing it to his men. Freshmen. Stith, captain and forward, is a very aggressive player and throws baskets at all angles. Lowe, forward, lacks experience, but will develop into a fast player. Eeidore, center, is in the game all the time and is a hard man to watch. Jackson, guard, watches his man but fouls continually. McKissack, guard, is always in the game, and is quick on passing the ball to his men. Bandits. Hadnott, captain, is a very fast for ward and considering his lack of experience is one of the best. Davidson, forward, is handicapped by his size, but is very fast. Clark, center, is inexperienced and therefore very rough but will develop into a good player. Richmond, guard, is a good basket thrower and watches his man at all times. Rosenberg, guard, is exceptionally fast and always rets the ball. All-Star Team. Sykes—forward .....

When an experienced printer and an all-round newspaper man says a paper is good over his signature, there is something to it. A copy of the Globe was sent to Mr. E. W. Meek, of Jackson, Tenn., and after he had read it over, he wrote to a Nashville friend a letter in which appeared the following: "The Globe' is far beyond my expectation, both in mechanical appearance and in quality and quantity of news. It is a credit to its editor and publishers, as well as to the race, and I shall take pleasure in showing it to my friends and speaking in the highest terms of the publication and of those who are behind it. "Yours truly, "E. W. MEEK." The letter was written by Mr. E. W. Meek, foreman of the C. M. E. Publishing House at Jackson, Tenn., and is an unsolicited compliment that is highly appreciated. REV. MR. WARD, OF CHATTA NOOGA. Rev. G. Wm. Ward, of Chattanooga, Tenn., is expected in the city the early part of March. Rev. Ward is one of the prominent ministers of Chattanooga. He is pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church of that city, which is often styled "The Mt. Olive" of Chattanooga. Rev. Ward is a member of the Publishing Board and is expected at their monthly meeting for March. MISS A. P. BROOKS. Miss A. P. Brooks, head nurse at Mercy Hospital, is winding up her first year and is slated to leave the city during the present week for her home in West Virginia. She came here to take charge of the Nurse Training Department of Mercy Hospital, and although she has been very sick during her stay, has made an excellent record. Her training, which she received at the Freedmen's Hospital, fully prepares her for the work. Aside from being an excellent and attentive nurse, her manner is said to be most charming. She made a lasting impression upon her many friends who are in this city. It is rumored that already efforts are on foot to induce her to return next fall. Her impression of Nashville was favorable in every respect, yet she had little time to mingle in society. Whether she will return is a matter undecided at this time. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR'S BOOKS.
