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. A SUDDEN ENDING. MR. A. R. GARUTHERS DROWNS HIMSELF. PLUNGES IN CUMBERLAND RIVER. TRAGEDY TAKES PLACE NEAR DUNLAP MILLS—TWO WOMEN WITNESS THE ACT FROM THEIR PORCH—HEROIC EFFORT MADE TO SAVE UNFORTUNATE MAN. Without apparent cause, Mr. A. R. Caruthers, on Wednesday morning walked on a raft near Dunlap Mills at the mouth of Monroe street, and after taking off his overcoat jumped in the Cumberland River. Mr. Caruthers, according to two ladies who witnessed the deed, walked leisurely down the street and passed near their porch. They noticed that he was a stranger in that vicinity, but paid no particular attention to that. The first act to attract special attention was when he had passed their door and was then near the river, he turned and said something to them which they could not understand. He spoke to them twice, but they were unable to understand his statements. He then walked toward the edge of the water and out onto a raft of logs belonging to one of the saw-mills. The two ladies then began to be suspicious and continued to watch his actions. After Mr. Caruthers walked out on the raft he was seen to pull off his coat and hat and lay them down by his side. He then walked to the edge of the raft and plunged in the river head foremost. The alarm was given at once. A boatman near by was the first to arrive on the scene. When informed of what had happened he rushed to where his boat was locked and unloosed it as quickly as he could. He saw the unfortunate man floating in the river, making no apparent effort to save his life. The boatman realized what moments meant and was working with all the energy and strength he possessed to reach the drowning man in time to save him, or at least save the body. But time was against him. The swift current was carrying Mr. Caruthers rapidly down stream. The boatman rowed on with hope, but when he was about twenty feet from the man he was seen to come in contact with the limbs of a tree; the body stood erect in the water for a moment and then sank out of sight. All efforts to locate it proved futile, and to the time of going to press the body had not been found. Lieut. Smith was notified at the Police Station of the occurrence and sent Patrolman Jim Williams to the scene. Patrolman Williams secured the drowned man's hat and his coat, which he had left lying on the raft. In the coat pocket was a letter addressed to A. R. Caruthers, 1821 Jefferson street, and signed by A. Cohen in regard to selling Mr. Caruthers a cash register. The letter was taken to its address where it was identified, together with the coat and hat by Dr. S. S. Caruthers, a brother of the drowned man. Dr. Caruthers stated that he knew of no reason why his brother should have taken his own life as he had just entered in business opposite the Duncan Hotel and was doing as he thought fine. He further stated that he had examined his private affairs as far as possible at the time, and found everything in proper shape. Mr. Caruthers was thirty-eight years old. He has two brothers, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, of this city, and Mr. Neal Caruthers, of Chicago, Ill., and one sister, Miss Hattie Caruthers, a teacher in the city schools. He had just recently gone into business and was an equal partner in the grocery firm of Gary & Caruthers, 410 Cedar street. The Negroes of Nashville received the sad news of his tragic death with bated breath, as he had a host of friends who hoped for him great success in his new avocation. Mr. Caruthers was a member of the First Baptist Church, Spruce street, and of the orders Knights of Pythias and Free and Accepted Masons. Mr. Geo. Gary was seen by a Globe representative. He said that he was heart-broken over the loss of his friend and co-partner in business. When asked if the death of Mr. Caruthers would affect the continuance of the business he said that it would not, although he would be greatly handicapped, but hoped to overcome the shock. Mr. Neal Caruthers arrived in the city on Thursday morning from THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1907. Chicago, having been summoned by telegraph. Friends were at the home on Jefferson street all day Wednesday and Thursday lending their efforts to console Miss Hattie Caruthers, who was prostrate with grief. TRINITY COLLEGE BURNED. Trinity Hall, a Congregational College, Athens, Ala., was destroyed by fire Wednesday evening, March 13. There arrived in Nashville on Tuesday morning from Little Rock, the capital of the State of Arkansas, Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., Chairman of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Robinson came over to be present and participate in the regular meeting of the Publishing Board, of which he is a member. His original sayings and his witty way of entertaining his audiences have made him one of the most popular ministers in the race. He spoke at the chapel services of the Baptist Publishing House at 9:30 Tuesday morning. His remarks kept a continual smile and a hearty laughter throughout the address. He said that he believed that every Negro should work. He used as an illustration, "When my wife and I find things are not going on well around home, I look around and say to her 'Let's get busy.'" He thought it was the duty of every member of the race to "get busy" and stay busy. Speaking of himself, he said he believed any man as black as he ought to "get busy." That he had no objection to white people being idle, for they had had thousands of years of civilization and could possibly afford to be idle. He knew that there were few Negroes that could afford not to work. He admonished all to "get busy." Dr. Robinson attended the Mt. Olive Church Tuesday night, and left on the 11:30 train for his home in Arkansas. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The boys of the Junior, Middle and Senior Classes have organized a Base Ball School League. Their intention is to have a series of games with each other to see who will win the pennant. Spring training has already begun. Miss Fannie Mai Watkins called at the school Monday. She has been absent for three weeks on account of sickness. She promises to enter again as a pupil next Monday. The hall of the High School is beginning to resound with the tones of Commencement music. Some very pretty selections have been made and practice will begin in earnest at the close of this quarter. Among the pieces selected are "Estudeantina," March of the Guard," "Greeting to Spring" and "Chase of the Butterflies." Prof. Smith and Miss C. M. Bryant, the accomplished organist and efficient musical instructor, are determined to see that the musical part of the Commencement program is fully up to the standard. The Class in Manual Training met for their second lesson last Tuesday. Some of the teachers had completed their rugs, and there was a rumor afloat that Mr. H. A. Cameron was contemplating going into the manufacture of rugs. He would have associated with him Miss Mary Kane Hill. Card board construction was taken up and this feature of the work proved as attractive as rug weaving. Your correspondent understands that fifteen lessons will be given the colored teachers, in order to prepare them for the work to be introduced into the schools next September. WOMEN'S MASS MEETING. There has been a general call issued for a mass meeting of all the women in Nashville. The meeting is called for the third Sunday in March, which is the 17th. It will be held at the First Baptist Church, Spruce street, of which Rev. W. S. Ellington is pastor, and will be under the auspices of the religious and educational clubs of this city, which include the workers of the W. C. T. U. It will be strictly a non-denominational gathering of the thinking women. Just what plans have been outlined is not known. It is learned, however, that the meeting will open in an informal way at 3 p. m. All women are cordially invited to be present. CORRECTION. In last week's issue of the Globe an article appeared under the caption "Tyree Camp Celebrates." This was misleading. The celebration was not by one camp but by all the camps working for the liquidation of the debt on St. John A. M. E. Church, which are twelve in number, and named for the bishops and general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church BANK DIRECTORS OF THE ONE-GENT SAVINGS BANK. REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING ELD. MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED— INSTITUTION IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION—A SIX PER CENT DIVIDEND DECLARED—SPECIAL COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT. This is the action taken by the directors of the One Cent Savings Bank in their monthly meeting held Monday evening at 6 o'clock in the room of the directors in the bank building. A notice had been mailed to all directors to be present at this meeting, as some very important business was to be transacted. In response to the roll call by Mr. C. N. Langston, the efficient teller, the following directors answered to their names: R. H. Boyd, J. W. Bostie, J. C. Napier, J. W. Grant, W. D. Chappelle, T. G. Ewing, E. B. Jefferson, J. B. Bosley, Henry A. Boyd, Wm. Beckham, by proxy, R. F. Boyd, proxy, Louis Winter, proxy, J. Cullum, proxy. The President declared, after the roll call, that a quorum was present. Rev. W. D. Chappelle led in prayer and the meeting was opened for business. Mr. J. C. Napier, the cashier, read a report which showed the condition of the bank for the months of January and February, together with a review of the total earnings of the bank since its organization. He dwelt at length upon the investments in stocks and bonds as well as the substantial investment made in real estate by the bank. He said, that, as cashier, he had been as conservative as possible in letting out other people's money, and that only when gilt-edged security was offered did he attempt to make a loan. Continuing, he said that the bank had turned down many loans that might have been made but he supposed it was on account of his being responsible for other people's money that he did not care to take any risks whatever. He recommended that a 6 per cent dividend be declared on all paid up stock subscribed on or before December 31, 1906. A motion to adopt this report was arrested and discussed fully one hour and a half, after which it was decided, that while the net earnings of the bank justified a large dividend, it would be to the advantage of the bank to increase its surplus and undivided profits. Hence the 6 per cent dividend was the better policy to pursue. This was declared and is to be prorated and credited on the amount of stock subscribed by each stockholder. A total dividend of 18 per cent has been declared on all money invested in stock in the One Cent Savings Bank during the three years of its existence. While paid up capital has not been exhausted, such a confidence has been created in the institution that the capital stock remaining unsold could be disposed of very readily, but the officers of the bank, as well as the board of directors, have been slow to throw it on the market in order to restrict the stockholders to residents of Nashville, as well as to desirable purchasers. The directors' meeting Monday evening was by far the most lengthy and one of the most interesting ever held. The special committee in the person of Mr. T. G. Ewing, who was appointed about six months ago to report on the plan of disposing of unsold shares of stock, made a typewritten report, which was lengthy and very instructive. This report was received and filed by the action of the board for further consideration. In considering other important matters, the matter of the promptness of attendance upon each director was urged. The cashier set forth the fact that this has been the first fully attended meeting since the annual meeting was held in January. Several applications for increase in stock were presented by members of the board from residents outside of Nashville. This was referred to the Finance Committee, who will make some recommendations and report to the next directors' meeting. REV. W. G. PARKS. A letter from Rev. G. W. Parks, D. D., who was recently pastoring in Chattanooga, Tenn., and who is well known in Tennessee, writes from Philadelphia, Penn., that he is pro- gressing nicely and that he is encouraged at the wonderful progress being made in Tennessee. Rev. Parks was a member of the Baptist Publishing Board from this state. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees for Roger Williams University. At present he is pastor of Union Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Penn. REV. WM. JUSTIN WAYTES COMING. It is learned through Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, that he has secured the services of Rev. Wm. Justin Waytes, the noted evangelist, to take charge of his meetings, which will start Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Waytes, while quite a young man, is one of the few in the evangelical work who is making a success in his chosen line of work. He is said to be a scholarly divine. He was educated at Hampton Institute, is a graduate from the theological department of Howard University at Washington, D. C., and has taken several post courses in the East. Rev. Mr. Waytes pastored for some time, but gave up the pastorate to enter the active evangelistic work. He ranks with such speakers as C. T. Walker E. W. D. Isaac and others. Indications are that he will have a successful meeting. WILL EXHIBIT AT JAMESTOWN. WILL EXHIBIT AT JAMESTOWN. This is the decision reached by the National Baptist Publishing Board at its regular monthly meeting held in the parlors of the Secretary of this Board on Tuesday, March 12, in which Rev. C. H. Clark, Chairman of the Board, Rev. G. B. Taylor, Rev. J. L. Harding, Rev. J. P. Robinson, Little Rock, Ark., Rev. R. H. Boyd, Rev. Wm. Haynes and Rev. G. Wm. Ward, of Chattanooga, by proxy, were present and voted. The Secretary brought the matter before this regular meeting of the Board for special attention and it was unanimously decided that the secretary at once take steps advisable and expedient to prepare and put on exhibition the work of the Publishing Board in all its branches. Just whether the National Baptist Convention, through its other Boards, will join the Publishing Board in making a big exhibit is not yet known, but they plan to expend themselves in the neighborhood of $3,000 for this creditable exhibit at Jamestown. Drs. Clark and Robinson approved of making such an exhibit as would bring valuable returns, as well as bring much recognition to their denomination. This view was also concurred in by the other members of the Board. Some other important matters were taken up and disposed of, which included the missionary work. This particular work's claiming a deal of attention nowadays. The matter concerning the addition in the form of buildings and machinery contemplated by the Board had not at this meeting reached such definite shape as to be given out for publication. Yet Secretary Boyd believes that he will be able to make the needed improvement some time in the latter part of spring or early summer. After being in session for about three hours, the Board adjourned to meet in April. PROMINENT LAWYER HERE. PROMINENT LAWYER HERE. One of the leading attorneys of Memphis, Tenn., in the person of Mr. H. M. Bomar, spent Tuesday in Nashville in the interest of one of his clients. Mr. Bomar came in on Tuesday morning over the L. & N., and was compelled to leave Tuesday night. While here he was interviewed by a Globe representative. He said that he came on an important mission and that he was compelled to see his excellency, Hon. H. M. Patterson, the governor of Tennessee, who is also from Memphis. Mr. Bomar was seen by a Globe reporter just before leaving the city, and when asked how he had spent the day, he remarked that it was the most strenuous day he had ever spent out of Memphis. "It is harder to see a governor than it is to see the Pope of Rome, I do believe," said Mr. Bomar. "I did not know what lobbying was until this short trip of mine," continued he. "But I think I am prepared to take up the profession if called upon." He declared that he, however, would rather remain in his profession at Memphis. His office is at No. 90 Commerce street, in the same building with Dr. R. L. Adams, who is so well and favorably known in Nashville. Mrs. Mary Crockett who is familiarly known as "Mother Crockett" of Mt. Olive Church, is able to be out again after being confined to her home for four weeks by influenza. No.10. GEORGE POINTER BY GEORGE WOODS. FREEDMAN FLAT, "BLACK BOTTOM." THIS CRIME-INFESTED LOCALITY IS A BLOT AND SHAME ON THIS CIVIL COMMUNITY — BREEDING PLACE FOR SUCH TRAGEDIES AS THAT OF SATURDAY NIGHT. Some one, in substance, once said that some things we know and some we do not know; we know that moons shall wane and summer birds from far shall cross the sea, but who shall tell us when to look for death! This is true in the transitory existence of the human family, with the exception of those whose taking off has been decreed by some authorized tribunal and for some specific cause. They, of course, know of their numbered days, according to the ordinary procedure governing their cases. Death, at all times and under all circumstances, is a solemn event; but it is decidedly harrowing, when it is the result of violence—violence which comes from one human being taking the life of another. John Woods, gripping a deadly knife from which ran the life blood of George Pointer, whom he had cut to death, fled through the night to some hiding place away from the scene of his crime. He had done his murderous work thoroughly—his victim was dead ere he had put many paces between them. His aim had been sure and his thrusts mortal. A human life had been blotted out, and a criminal amenable to God and his country's laws. He who commits murder is bound to his crime by that mysterious cord that God himself ties. Go whithersoever he will that scarlet line is attached to him and traces and marks his wanderings. Saturday night, March 9, John Woods, on murder bent, went to Freedman Flats, corner of Fifth avenue and Kirkman street, and called George Pointer out and immediately proceeded to carry it into execution, as is inferred from the statements of Kate Mosely and O'Neal Lytle, both women hearing the screams of Pointer and the struggle between the men. They state that Pointer lived but a short time, dying almost instantly. The Mosely woman lived near enough to Pointer to hear Woods when he knocked on the latter's door and told him that he wanted to see him. Pointer came to the door and immediately the struggle to the death commenced. Pointer in the grip of his mortal foe cried for assistance, but ere it arrived he was dead. It is said that some remark made by Pointer about his slayer's wife brought on the encounter. Although there was an estrangement, it is said, between husband and wife, he resented in a deadly way whatever wrong—eal or imaginary—he thought his victim had been guilty of. Quite some time passed before officers arrived on the scene, and when they did get there the murderer had made good his escape. But, however much time he had to escape, that mysterious scarlet cord dyed in his crime will lead to his discovery—his crime will follow him across states and even across the years until it points its avenging finger full in his face and says to Justice: Here is the murderer. When the Law shackles the body, Remorse seizes the soul that is crime-ridden. What has been said through these columns relative to the series of tragedies which occur in this community periodically, are borne out by the facts. The community is in the throes of one of these ever-recurring epidemics of killings now. Three murders have been committed within four weeks. Other agencies cannot take off the Negro fast enough; he must do some of the thinning process himself. There are some people who live next to the earth, and what is meant by that is they think no high thought; their sole mental effort rises no higher than that of the swine-eat, drink, grunt (gossip) and fight. The Globe continues to hang out its red light of warning against these wholesale murders which make their advent too frequently. It is certainly telling against the Negro as a race. 2 DR. JOSIE E.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1907 This state of affairs is hurtful, though it is the work of the underdrift. That Black Bottom, with all of its dens of shame and its bloody records of crime, is fated to go, is a blessing; for it is not only a cesspool of shame in which crime is breeded, but the criminals leave their trail of disgrace across the pathway of the Negro people. The Globe is keeping its lower lights burning, so that those in the gutter may steer off shore and shun the breakers. "Thou shalt not kill." SCALES-McGOTHAN. Miss J. E. McGothan and Mr. Jas. Scales were happily married a few Sundays ago at the home of the bride in Lavergne, Tenn. Rev. Dr. Stevens performed the ceremony a number of friends being present. Mr. and Mrs. Scales left at once for Nashville where they will reside. MARSHAL NEIL CLUB. The Marshal Neil Club enjoyed a charming meeting Monday afternoon with Mrs. D. Ferguson at her home on Winter street, which was decorated with cut flowers and ferns. The by-laws were read, discussed and adopted. All business is discussed and transacted in a thoroughly practical and businesslike manner which reflects much credit on the ladies. There will be included in the work battenberg, embroidery, hemstitching and other fancy work. An attractive program was rendered and refreshments were served. ENTERTAINS PHARMACEUTICAL GRADUATES. Miss Emma Stone, of 635 Allison street, entertained on Thursday night last in honor of her entire class, numbering eighteen members. Miss Stone will graduate from the pharmaceutical department of Meharry Medical College with the class of 1907, and this impromptu affair was given to show her interest and devotion to her class. She was assisted in receiving by her five sisters and Mrs. W. H. Walker. Only a few guests outside of the class were invited, and they were L. J. Newsome, Clyde Lee, F. J. Hawkins, R. C. Hayden, N. T. Wallace and J. Perry Patterson, all seniors in the medical department. These ladies had arranged an excellent menu for the evening, which was served at a late hour. Good music and dancing were the order of the evening. While the music was in progress, frappe was served by Miss Nannie Stone. THE HELMS GIANTS BASEBALL CLUB HIGHLY ENTERTAINED CLUB HIGHEST ENTERTAINED. The Helms Giants of Lebanon were highly entertained at the home of the President, Len Helms. Music was furnished by Dr. Jas. Elliott. Len Helms was made president; Holfred Draper, Vice; Lee Rucks, Secretary; Montell Proctor, Captain; Jas. R. Elliott, Manager. The line up will be as follows:Myers, King and Durkron to do the catching; Proctor, Dross, Officer and Jones will hold infield while Crutchfield and Allen the out field. Orders have been taken for the suits. EDITOR OF THE PULASKI LEADER IN THE CITY. Prof. A. T. Hill, principal of the city schools of Pulaski. Editor of the Pulaski Leader and a man prominent in secret society circles of the State, spent last Saturday in the city on business. Prof. Hill has a large circle of friends in the city and after he had transacted his business a few of them proceeded to make it pleasant for him. REPEATED—MERCHANT OF VEN ICE At Fisk Memorial Chapel, Friday, March 22, 1906, by the Junior Class of Fisk University. The public is again to be favored by the appearance of the Junior Class of Fisk University in Shakespeare's "Mercant of Venice." The play will be given Friday night, March 22, at 8 o'clock in Fisk Memorial Chapel. The dramatis personae are as follows: Antonio, James Myers; Bassanio, William A. Macintyre; Shylock. Chas. Campbell; Lorenzo, James G. Browne; Gratiano, St. Elmo Brady; Duke of Venice, M. V. Boutte; Launcelot, Alfred G. King; Launcelot Gobbo, Jack S. Brayboy; Salarino, B. F. Murphy; Solanio, Holcombe S. Crosthwait; Tubal, William B. Merrill; Balthazar, W. Sylvester White; Portia, Beatrice S. Flanders; Nerissa, Lillian V. Cashin; Jessica, Gertrude Glenn. Those who heard the class in the play before were surprised at the knowledge of histrionic ability displayed. All the parts were well rendered. Those who witness the play will see acting of a high order. Mr. Campbell in Shylock is simply superb. He plays like a veteran and sustains his character throughout. Mr. Myers as Antonio and Mr. Macintyre as Bassanio, Mr. Brady as Gratano and Mr. King as Launcelot excell themselves, while Miss Flanders as Portia. Miss Cashin as Nerissa, and Miss Glenn as Jessica charm and captivate and hold the audience by their grace, vivacity and simplicity of bearing. The other characters are equally well sustained and the whole play is pitched on a high plane. The orchestra, under Mr. Mitchel, will entertain between the acts. This is an opportunity to hear and see a play of the highest order without being "Jim Crowed." Admission only 25 cents; children under 14 years, 15 cents. The public is urged to come early in order to secure the best seats. A big crowd is expected. The young people in our schools are especially invited. This play at Fisk is a part of a Spring bazaar to be given by the ladies of the Howard Congregational Church during the coming week. The other entertainments will be given at the Howard Congregational Church as follows: Tuesday night, March 19, "A Sing and Talk" by Mr. and Mrs. James Myers, representing the choir and their friends. Mr. Myers, who is an entertainment in himself, will be assisted by some of the best talent in the city. Wednesday night, the young people of the Christian Endeavor Society and some of the old folks will give an entertainment in two parts—a young people's part and an old folk's concert. Refreshments will be served and various articles will be on sale, such as aprons, brie-a-brac, brooms, fancy work and other useful articles. STAG PARTY IN HONOR OF THE GLOBEIS SPORTING EDITOR Though it seemed as if the skies were weeping at the thought of losing from the realm of bachelorhood, such a brilliant star as Mr. James Garfeld Blaine Boyd, all was serene in the parlors of the Railway Men's Projective Association last Saturday night when a galaxy of gay bachelors, with a few benedicts sandwiched between, assembled for the purpose of driving a farewell stag to another of their number who is so fortunate as to get off. In conjunction with the Algonquin Club of which Mr. Boyd is a member, the Honey Pot Branch of the Printer's Club, of which he is also an honored member, did honor to their fellow Honey-Potter. Several skits had been prepared to initiate Mr. Boyd into the mysteries of the benedict rank, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the trained performers could not be persuaded to brave the fury of the elements. Hence one of the enjoyable features of the stag parties of the Honey Pot Lodge had to be dispensed with. Just before the toastmaster, Mr. Eugene Page, President of the Algonquins, called upon the representatives of each organization for a speech, a flashlight picture was made of the gathering. Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher, Treasurer of the Algonquins, in a humorous effort responded to a toast on behalf of his organization, while Mr. Geo. O. Boyd, President of the Printers' Club, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Algonquins, responded on behalf of the printers. Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, the honoree, in the most eloquent effort of the evening (he is somewhat of an actor as well as a sporting editor of no mean ability), thanked "the boys" for the feelings of tender regard they had shown. The following was the lunch served: Water. Crackers. Swiss Cheese. Lemonade. Light Bread. Ham. Soda Pop. Cheese Straws. Sour Pickle. Sweet Pickle. Cigars. Those present were: J. Blaine Boyd. Fred J. Ewing, Geo. O. Boyd, J. Frank Battle. J. O. Battle, Eugene Page. John Flemings, D. W. Crutcher, Ernest Cole, J. W. DeWees, Louis K. Thomas, John H. Kelly, Ernest Mc Guire, Samuel Carter, Louis D. Bumbrey, J. J. Lay, Wm. Franklin, George Dodson, Dan H. Winston, Jesse Cheatham, Anthony Porter, Eugene Price, John Sims, R. C. Fisher, W. D. Boger. ANNUAL K. OF P. SERMON. The Sermon Committee of the K. of P. completed its work for the occasion. They will hold their services at St. John Methodist Church, corner Eighth avenue and Cedar street, Palm Sunday. March 24th, at 2:00 o'clock o. m. Rev. Asa O. Kenny will preach the sermon. The committee elected the following special officers for the occasion: J. A. O. Broughton, Chancellor Commander; Prof. J. I. Watson, Vice Chancellor; J. P. Porter, Prelate; I. W. Scruggs, M. of Ex.; J. O. Battle, K. of R. & S., and Robert E. Gee, General Master of Arms. CHARGES ARE UNTRUE. "I am falsely accused," said Attorney P. W. Adams to a Globe reporter who called upon him to get a statement in regard to an item that appeared in one of the recent issues of the daily papers. "I can give you the facts in the case that are necessary," continued Mr. Adams, "to prove that Mr. Isaac Denweed, who entered this case against me, is mistaken. I can prove this by other witnesses, which I will do at the proper time. The $24.00 was not charged for collecting the pension, but was charged for 12 days' service at $2.00 per day while attending to this pension. I was forced out of the city at my own expense at $2.00 a day in order to attend to certain matters pertaining to this case and only rendered my bill according to the actual expense incurred." When asked if he had read the statement in the papers, Mr. Adams replied that he had, but that no corrections were offered, because he would prefer the correction made at the time of the trial, which has been postponed until other witnesses can appear. The following is the clipping that appeared in the daily papers of this city: "P. W. Adams, a negro attorney of this city, was taken before Commissioner E. L. Doak on Wednesday afternoon, Adams being charged with collecting an illegal fee for prosecuting the pension claim of Isaac Denweed. Specifically Adams is accused of collecting $24 for prosecuting the claim, but by law attorneys are forbidden from charging a fee for the prosecution of such cases exceeding $10. Several witnesses for the Government were examined on Wednesday, among these being Special Examiner Sullivan, of the United States Pension Bureau. At the request of the defendant the case was continued until next Wednesday in order to give the defendant an opportunity to obtain some information from Washington, which it is desired to introduce as evidence." Attorney P. W. Adams has offices in Napier Court and has been looked upon as one of the progressing practitioners at the local bar. He has given a deal of his time, it is said, to the pension business. Mr. Adams stated to the Globe reporter that the man who is bringing the charge is not altogether very sound, and that he fears this was done in one of his unsound moods, as he has been known to drive off with teams not belonging to him, and to do other acts that no sane man would do. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH BY FIRE. Last Saturday night the residence of Mr. William Caruthers, 611 Jo Johnston avenue, was considerably damaged by fire caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Caruthers in the room occupied by Mr. L. S. Gray, assistant foreman in the bookmaking department of the National Baptist Publishing House, and Mr. Joseph Hopson, a contractor, who happened to be out of the city at the time. Mrs. Caruthers called Mr. Gray at the critical moment, as the bed clothing was burning fiercely when he realized what was going on. He made his way with great difficulty through fire and smoke until he opened the door, when by the clear-headedness of Mrs. Caruthers and brave fighting by both, the fire was extinguished, but not before Mr. Gray was burned on the face, ears and hands. The damage by fire amounted to about $150.00. Mr. Gray's loss was considerable and included two suits of clothes, two pairs of shoes, etc. There was no insurance. Mr. Gray had a very narrow escape from a horrible death. NON-RESIDENT NOTICE, May Rules, 1907. Isabella Caster vs. Henry Caster.

THE KNOXVILLE ELECTION. The result of the Knoxville temperance election is surprising only in the large majority rolled up by those who oppose the saloon. This campaign against whiskey was almost unique, that is for a city the size of Knoxville. Men, women and children joined in the demonstration which lasted the greater part of the election day, and the result of these efforts was easily discernable in the impressive defeat of the wet faction. The sale of whiskey is now authorized in but five cities and towns in the state. One of these, Jackson, will hold an election before this paper is printed. The indications at present are that the anti-saloon forces will win. La Follette, another of the number, will doubtless have its charter abolished before the adjournment of the present term of the legislature. It is even probable that if an election were held in either Chattanooga or Nashville, at the present time, both cities would go dry. There are many who doubt the wisdom of closing the saloons, especially in the larger cities, while the laws of the United States make it possible for the jug trade to exist. By permitting the jug trade, it is pointed out that men who were moderately addicted to intoxicants, finding themselves unable to secure them in small quantities would make saloons of their home, thereby spreading the baleful effects of intemperance in the home. There is much in this view that would commend itself to the really temperate men, but the continual disregard of the law as well as public decency by the saloons, the open protection furnished dives and "hullaboloos" by the police force, whereby women are allowed to infest these hell holes and attract men who should be at work, have made radicals of men who otherwise would be moderates. The saloons have only themselves to blame and if they don't take a hand and break up the dives, they will soon find that segregation and high license are not drastic enough for Nashville. PATRONIZE NEGROES We had occasion last week to call attention to the reactionary addresses made by prominent business men, members of the Nashville Board of Trade. One of the speakers in question, a merchant, is reputed to have said in substance that a white person who would patronize a Negro in a certain business, had sunk to the lowest dregs. We recall this not for the purpose of urging a boycott upon the said merchant, but to direct attention to the way sentiment is drifting and emphasizing the importance of patroniz- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1907. ing institutions run by members of our race or those which show that they appreciate our trade enough to make a bid for it. One of the saddest commentaries upon the short-sighted policy usually followed in passing institutions of our own to carry our trade where, if it is desired, no effort is made to secure it, is the depositing of the funds of our secret orders in white banks. Every secret society in this town which admits Negroes to membership is composed solely and exclusively of Negroes. As an individual, a member of one of the societies may gain recognition, but as an order—the society exists only to those of our race. Yet scores of the lodges deposit all of their funds in white banks. Institutions that give employment to Negroes only as porters, and if they desire the patronage of the race make no open and above board appeal for it. As it is with the banks, so it is in other lines of business. And the shame of it all is that too often men and women making their living exclusively from their own race have such fastidious tastes, are so discriminating in their likes and dislikes as to find nothing to please them in the shops run by those of our race. While the boycott is a powerful weapon, and capable of accomplishing much, we do not feel that the cases in question call for such retaliation. But it should cause every Negro who respects himself, no matter what his avocation, to patronize those institutions that openly appeal for his trade. If these business houses of the city which spend thousands of dollars yearly through the white papers to reach customers, want your patronage they will advertise through your paper. STRIKES. Steadily southward drifts the rule of the mob that would eradicate the economic differences between capital and labor by violence. At one time it seemed as if the excesses of labor in its effort to gain its ends were indigenous to the section of the country North of the Mason and Dixon Line, while those based upon race prejudice and hatred were confined to the South. But in the past few years the area prone to adopt each form of violence has gradually been enlarged. Louisville, Ky., since last Saturday, has been deprived of adequate street car service on account of the strike of the electric car men. Violence has been resorted to by the strikers and several men have been more or less injured. The city authorities, it seems, in fear of the vote of the labor element, have shown an indisposition to enforce the law and preserve order. As to the justness of the demands of the striking men there may be a difference of opinion, but the city authorities should have but one opinion, and that is to protect lives and property from violence at all hazards. Labor has the right to organize, and, when it feels so disposed, to strike for the enforcement of its demands, but when organized labor attempts to gain its ends by lawlessness, it should be recognized as any other organized band of lawbreakers and delt with accordingly. Col. McDonald, of the Texas Rangers, who was described by Maj. Bloxom, U. S. A., in his report of the shooting up of Brownsville as being so brave that "he would charge hell with a bucket of water," has been the subject of another description. This time Maj. Penrose, of the discharged battalion, who is being court martialed, said that McDonald was a "contemptible coward." Last Saturday McDonald replied with the statement that Penrose and some of the citizens of Brownsville tried to shield the guilty men. He left the same night for San Antonio to see the Major personally. Nothing has been heard from him since. Evidently the brave man finds there is a difference between attacking "hell with water" and a man with his mouth. Another murder has been added to the list this week. If 1907 continues as it has begun Nashville at the end of the year will have had more homicides to its credit in twelve months than Mississippi had lynchings. It seems to be an unwritten law in this town that if you have a grudge against a person you may kill him, and then claim that he made an effort to draw a weapon from the southwest pocket of his trousers. If the worst comes, the murderer will only get a few years in the penitentiary. The best way to prevent so many crimes of this class is to hang those who perpetrate them. Ben Tillman's lecture at Baltimore, it is said, proved to be a failure financially, and, besides, he did not get himself advertised through the Associated Press. With all those one night stands before him, Ben will have to put more ginger in his effort if he expects to make good. We are reliably informed that the Local Business Leage is not dead, but sleeping. Say, Rev. Boyd, don't you think it is about time for the organization to wake up? The national organization meets in August, and if you don't hurry and call the local body together, how can we elect delegates? Carmack made a brilliant finish to his senatorial career. We hope Gov. Patterson will put a brilliant crimp into his ambition to be a dictator of the legislature, and send him back to Memphis. From the noise the saloon people of Knoxville made, we thought they were real live "bear-cats," but we find that they were only "molly-coddles." Do our sheriffs and policemen get a rake-off from the dives? If not why is it that the low women of our race are permitted to crowd these places? The city council will think twice before resolving that another member of the legislature is a liar. The Atlanta Independent has a brainstorm each week. Get next to a home before winter comes again. WANTS AN INSURANCE COMPANY. Let the Negro papers take up the subject of organizing an insurance company in the State of Mississippi and make business for our boys and girls.

Jackson, of the Presbyterian Church, said he had no report to make, but was sent out by the Y. M. C. A. to ascertain how many young men were identified with the church. The request was compiled with and a goodly number was reported. Dr. W. D. Chappelle spoke a word of encouragement. He said the Sunday School Union was out of debt, and unless something turns up he will be able to so report to the next General Conference. A paper on "Regeneration" was read by Rev. Wm. Flagg, but owing to the lateness of the hour same was deferred till next meeting. Dr. Chappelle in speaking on the lag in church work said in his opinion the non-interest was largely due to the bad behavior on the part of the people in the church. Dr. Chappelle is the choice of the ministers of the Union for the Bishopric, and his good record since he has been Secretary of the Sunday School department of his church gives him a good standing with the connection at large. Nashville's Leading Salesman—Sells More Wearing Apparel than any Two Salesmen in the City. From a common day laborer in a lumber yard to the front rank as a salesman is a record that any man can well be proud of. This honor belongs to Mr. Robert "Bob" Robertson, the popular East Nashville salesman. Mr. Robertson a few years ago was a day laborer in the Benedict lumber yards, but was awake to the opportunities around him. He induced one of the leading shoe stores in the city to grant the agency to sell their shoes to his co-laborers and assume the responsibility of collection for the same. The request was granted and he set to work soliciting orders. It was not long before he had convinced the firm that he knew what he was talking about when he approached them for an agency. He continued in the shoe business for some time, and finally was compelled to give up his position at the lumber yard and devote all of his time to his sales. After he began to devote all of his time to drumming he was sought by other firms to accept the agency for their goods. Mr. Robertson, after much consideration, decided to handle other things than shoes, and his next venture was the acceptance of an agency for clothing and after a while he took on dry goods and ladies' ready to wear clothes, and is now practically a walking department store, and supplies more people with clothes and dry goods than any two men in the city.

Mrs. Lucretia Birdsong. Mrs. Lucretia Birdsong was born in Columbia, Tenn., June 6, 1858, and died February 27, 1907, at 7:35 o'clock being at the time of her death 48 years, eight months and 21 days old. She professed a hope in Christ February, 1882, and joined Spruce Street Baptist Church and was baptized by Rev. N. G. Merry. She was married to E. W. Birdsong, June 8, 1882, and was to the morning of her death, married 24 years, 7 months and 19 days. Her illness, which was of 13 month's duration, was borne by her with Christian fortitude worthy of mention. Not a time was she ever heard to murmur. During her Christian career of 25 years, her life was one full of good deeds worthy of emulation. She was very much attached to her church and as long as her health would permit, was found present and working in the Master's vineyard. Mrs. Birdsong was bound as with an unbreakable chain, and never dying love to her family, which consisted of her husband, Sarah Jones and little G. W. Gore. In her home she was an ideal woman, as all who know of her will attest, it being her chief desire to make those about her happy. In return for this there stood ever at her side during her long hour of suffering, "Eddie," Sarah and her sister Alice, with anxious hearts both willing and ready to do what ever she desired in the tenderest and most gentle way. Whenever she thought they looked depressed, she would bid them cheer up, for, said she, "I am all right. The will of the Master must be done." On the morning of her death she called for a hymn to be played and sung for her and as her life sweetly took its flight, there was being sung softly and sweetly. "My soul looks up to Thee," which she seemed to enjoy. She leaves to mourn her departure a kind and loving husband, Sarah, most faithful and true, five sisters, together with a host of friends and relatives. HIRSHBERG BROTHERS' BIG NEW STORE.

This firm handles first-class goods and are always in the front with the styles of the season, in fact they keep a few paces in the lead of the other stores in styles and quality. For years they only handled gents' clothing, and the business grew to J. R. Blake, The OLD Reliable Grocer of North Nashville.

After these were added it soon became evident that the old quarters were too small, and with their keen insight to business they set about to find a suitable site and one that would give ample room for the increasing business. This had to be gone about quietly for desirable business sites are now at a premium in this city. But the company was the successful bidders among many for the commodious buildings at the corner of Fifth avenue and Church street. The buildings have been remodeled from top to bottom which makes them practically new, and the attractions are so great that no one can pass without being tempted to go in and purchase something.

WILL SAIL IN APRIL. The date fixed for the departure of the American delegates has been set for about the 9th of April. The white delegates, it is said, will leave from Boston, Mass. There has been a restriction made that no Negro delegates will go on either of these ships; they will go possibly from the port of New York about the same date. About 6 delegates will represent the great Negro denomination of this country. Three of these will be Mrs. E. H. McKissack, of Holly Springs, Miss.; Rev. J. E. Shepherd, of Raleigh, N. C., the International Secretary of the Sunday School work; Rev. John E. Ford, of Denver, Col. Rev. Mr. Ford will represent the National Baptist Publishing Board and its Sunday school work After it was found out that no Negro delegates would be allowed to go on the ship that will make a special trip to Italy, some speculation was entered into as to whether Dr. Ford would go. He was communicated with and in his reply he stated, "I will go if I have to swim half the way, and I will give an account of myself when I get there. I will show who I represent and why I am there." This trip will take about three months and the convention which is to meet in Rome will be represented by all nations and denominations in the world. In fact it will be a repetition of the World's Baptist Alliance, which was held in London last June, at which about 45 American Negroes attended, and made a lasting impression upon the foreigners. It is thought the compliments paid these Afro-Americans in the presence of the whites who were there from this country is the cause of the treatment towards the Negroes who desire to make this trip. The outcome will be watched with interest from both sides of the ocean. The order just issued stating that no Negroes will be allowed on the ships is said to be a general order and comes from Boston, Mass. A Boston man has charge of the transportation and this order is said to have emanated direct from his office. REV. DR. TOWNSEND BAPTIZES. An extra large crowd was present at the Spruce Street Baptist Church last Sunday at 3 p. m., to witness the baptism which took place in the basement of that church. Rev. T. J. Townsend, the newly elected pastor, assisted by Rev. C. H. Clark, had about 80 candidates for baptism, but only 43 of these were present on this occasion, which necessitates another baptism at some future date. This was the result of the revival carried on at the church the past two weeks. One encouraging feature is that a large number of children have professed the faith and connected with the church. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Sunday marked the twentieth anniversary of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Knowing this day would wind up a score of years that the church had been in existence, the better part of the week before was spent in various exercises, beginning on Tuesday night with a largely attended prayer meeting. Wednesday night, B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school exercises. Sunday morning the Sunday school showed that it had gone far beyond the expectation of many. The 11 o'clock services were suspended Sunday to pay respects to a deceased member, Mrs. Kitty Lofton. The anniversary sermon was preached Sunday night. This church is said to be one of the largest in the city, and it has by far the largest membership. The crowd that was present Sunday night to witness the winding up of the anniversary, was extremely large. A unique plan had been adopted by which each member was to pay five cents for each year the church had been organized. While the weather was inclement, many responded. The pastor himself reported $21.80 handed to him by members who could not attend. The amount of the collection is not known, but it is thought to be encouragingly large. Dr. Clark announced from the pulpit that a revival would begin at once and an effort will be put forth to make the membership reach the 2,000 mark.

UNIQUE AND APPRECIATIVE Last Sunday, March 10, the members of the First Baptist Church celebrated the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. W. S. Ellington in a manner that was very expressive of appreciation. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and pot flowers. The two choirs vied with each other in the rendition of music that was both beautiful and spiritual. Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., pastor of Spruce Street Baptist Church preached the anniversary sermon. It was a scholarly effort; his audience was both benefitted and delighted. Trustee S. P. Harris, in a short, but excellent address, declared that the church is in splendid financial condition. Deacon W. T. Hightower followed with an address that glowed with words of appreciation and praise. He said in part: "Friends, officers and members of the First Baptist Church, I bring you greetings on this the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. W. S. Ellington. To-day we rejoice that God has been with us and has wonderfully blessed us along the way. We have come through many trials and tribulations, sometimes the deep waters have seemed about to overflow us. We have learned to lean upon God's everlasting arm, to trust and believe his word. The church is not what our heavenly Father would have it be, nor is it what we, the members, would have it be. We desire it to be entirely free from debt, that we may do more for Home and Foreign Missions and for education and the poor. "We have as pastor a scholarly and Christian gentleman, one who lives above reproach. It would be an honor to have him pastor of any church in the denomination. He has been a faithful shepherd. For seven years he has led us and watched carefully over us. He has not been alone in his task. He has had the support of his officers, members and friends in all his undertakings. Where he has led, we have followed. And if we continue to follow the example he has set, we will never have need to fear failure. Let us as a church make a greater effort this year to live closer to God; to do more for the redemption of souls; to help by our means and prayers to carry the banner of Jesus Christ to all nations." Mr. Hightower, turning, addressed the pastor in the following strain: "And now, dear pastor, may I say to you as Paul said, 'I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his BISHOP PHILLIPS RETURNS. Bishop C. H. Phillips has returned to the city after a week's visit to points in Kentucky and Indiana. The special business of the Bishop's visit was to establish a church in Indianapolis, Ind., which he succeeded in doing. He was heartily welcomed on his mission by other religious denominations and the Young Men's Christian Association. Wednesday night, February 27, he was tendered a banquet jointly by representatives from the African Methodist, Zion Methodist, Young Men's Christian Association, and the Baptist churches. Bishop Phillips was highly lated when seen by a Globe reporter. He says he has every reason to feel proud over the success attained. He left the mission with a membership of between 35 and 49 members, and purchased a lot for a church house. SMYRNA NOTES. Messrs. James and Marion Darden, I.
