SPLENDID TRIBUTE PAID NEGRO SOLDIERS.
MAYOR COMBE MET 300 ARMED MEN ON NIGHT OF AUG. 13, 1906, ON WAY TO ATTACK POST—HE TOLD THEM THEY DID NOT APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE GOING UP AGAINST THREE OF THE BEST TRAINED MILITARY COMPANIES IN THE VORLD.
Major C. W. Penrose, who was in command of the Twenty-fifth Infantry stationed at Brownsville, Texas, at the time of the "famous raid," since his acquittal by the military court that tried him for neglect of duty, has something to say about the "affair," and that something is significant. He is "letting the cat out of the wallet" in such a way as to make it decidedly discomforting to those blatant muckrakers who have rummaged the dictionaryes through for epithetical adjectives to apply to the colored soldiers. Listen! Maj. Renrose, a few days ago, in speaking of Dr. Fred Combe, Mayor of Brownsville, Texas, said that courageous official and citizen of the town put forth strenuous efforts to stop a maudlin mob of 300 from making an attack on the United States barracks occupied by three companies of colored soldiers belonging to the Twenty-fifth Infantry.
Mayor Combe, in pleading with this hot-headed rabble not to precipitate trouble, paid a tribute to the intrepid men in the barracks. He told the rabble that their fury, if they persisted in going to the attack, was insanity and suicidal. He tried to impress them with the awful consequences which would inevitably befall their insane folly, by warning them of the fact they would face in a death grapple three of the best military companies in the world. He told the mob that there could be one ending to the struggle and that would be their utter destruction.
Mayor Combe knew that the rabble had not a ghost of a chance to win against those brave colored soldiers trained to the minute—as great fighters, in his opinion, as could be found anywhere on the earth. He was not gushing over Negro courage, but was telling those conceits whom he was trying to dissuade from their foolhardy impudence and imbecility a plain, unvarnished fact about those fighting machines; for they were the same men who swept up the hill at El Carney and rushed the Spaniards' fortified position at its summit and took it, putting its defenders, those that were not dead or wounded, to ignominious flight.
Mayor Combe succeeded in saving a delicate situation by convincing the bulk of that rabble that their "game" meant suicide—utter annihilation.
That Mayor Combe saved the situation is to be inferred from what Maj. Penrose says: "If that mob had come to the post that night, all I could have done would have been to defend myself, and that would have meant the ruin of Brownsville."
Maj. Penrose says that he cannot think of another man in Brownsville who could have done what Mayor Combe did: he was hampered from start to finish.
If the soldiers "shot up" Brownsville, who were the 300 armed men whom Mayor Combe met? Intent upon what deviltry were they? Is it not more than likely that, though the majority of them was convinced that they would be worsted in a fight with the soldiers, some of the hotheads persisted in going on and doing some shooting, despite all that had been said and done?
What Maj. Penrose gives out through the public press as having been told film by Major Combe is the strongest possible circumstantial evidence that Brownsville was raided by some of those 300 hoodlums of the town.
There was a gang in Brownsville who had made up their minds that the Negro soldiers must go; it mattered not to what trickery they had to resort, the soldiers must go, and go they did.
It is a notorious fact that the white man is a past master when it comes to making circumstances, conditions and situations fit his purposes.
Had 300 armed Negroes been met and persuaded not to attack a post oc

aupied by white soldiers and afterward there was a shooting up of the town, the whites would not have had to make even a general denial; those 300 armed Negroes would have been unquivocally the guilty perpetrators, by every rule of the white man's interpretation. It does matter whose ox is gored.
WALDEN UNIVERSITY NOT RE-
SPONSIBLE.
The damage suits against Walden University which have been pending in the courts for some time were finally settled by a decision of the Supreme Court of the State last Saturday in which the judgment of the lower courts were affirmed and the suits dismissed. In the opinion of the Supreme Court the funds of Walden University are trust funds and are not liable for damages. The suits were brought by several persons whose daughters were either killed or seriously injured in the fire at the University which destroyed Rust Hall, one of the main buildings on the campus. The suits have been prosecuted through all the courts of the state and in each trial the decision has been in favor of the University.

A. G. CARUTHERS' BODY RECOVERED.
The body of the late Mr. A. G. Carruthers, who committed suicide by jumping into the Cumberland River about two weeks ago, and whose body was recovered Saturday afternoon about 3 by Mr. Sanday, a truck gardener on the Hyde's Ferry Road, and Mr. Harry Marshall, who is employed on Mr. J. B. Kennedy's place. Mr. Marshall, while rounding up some horses that were grazing on the bank of the river, saw an object floating down that looked to him like the body of a man. He watched it and saw it pass under the bridge and called to Mr. Sanday, who agreed that it was the body of a man. Mr. Sanday immediately pushed his canoe into the river and pursued the body about one hundred yards, overtaking it and tying it to a stake on the bank of the river. A telephone message was immediately sent to Mr. J. B. Kennedy, another to Taylor & Co., and to the family of the deceased whereupon preparations were begun to bring the remains into the city. This was done and the remains were carried to Taylor & Company's undertaking establishment.
The funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased 1827 Jefferson street, and was largely attended. Rev. W. S. Ellington, of the First Baptist Church, had charge of the ceremonies. He was assisted by Rev. James Bond, of Howard Congregational Church. The interment was at Greenwood Cemetery.
REV. MR. GOODALL IN CLARKS VILLE.
Rev. T. J. Goodall, acting pastor of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, and newly elected pastor of the Fifth Ward Baptist Church, Clarksville, preached two able sermons at the last-named church last Sunday. At 3 o'clock he preached an excellent sermon at Wesley Chapel C. M. E. Church, to a large audience, the occasion being the annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias of Clarksville. Here, Mr. Goodall will take charge of the Fifth Ward Baptist Church the second Sunday in April.

BADLY SHOCKED.
MISSES M. BELLE SCALES AND EVA MAY GREEN.
THESE LADIES WERE ON A JEFFERSON STREET CAR WHICH WAS ENTERING THE TRANSFER STATION AT THE TIME THEY RECEIVED THE SHOCK WHICH NECESSITATED THEIR BEING TAKEN TO WILSON'S INFIRMARY—IGNORED BY OFFICIALS OF SYSTEM.
What may prove to be a fatal accident to two of the city teachers of Nashville happened Wednesday morning, between 7:20 and 7:30 o'clock at the transfer station of the Nashville Street Railway Co. The injured women were Miss M. Belle Scales, of 1025 Warren street, and Miss Eva May Green, of Eighteenth avenue, North (Salem street), both prominent in society circles and very competent teachers. It appears that these ladies boarded a Jefferson street car near the end of Jefferson street, which is due to reach the station at 7:20. A Globe reporter came down on the same car, but left it at Third avenue, North. It appears that the car on entering the station, just before it made a full stop, suddenly plunged, dipped and gave a headlong pitch forward, coming suddenly to a stop—this without apparent cause. So great was the shock, which might have been caused by electricity or some electrical disturbance, that it threw the backs of the seats backward and forward like autumn leaves being scattered over the ground. The occupants of each seat were thrown either head-first out of their seats over the other occupants or out into the middle of the aisle. There were at least a half-dozen people on the car. Only three colored, however, that could be learned—the two ladies above mentioned and Mr. Ernest Cole, of Thompson street, a letter carrier in the Nashville post office. The injuries of Miss Scales prove to be internal, yet the left arm and hand are badly damaged and bruised. She also suffered from the nervous shock. Miss Green's injuries are also internal, with a serious hurt in the side. It was learned by a Globe representative that when the accident occurred these ladies were so stunned that it was several minutes before they regained consciousness. When they did, they made their way from the car as best they could in their limited condition without assistance. Presence of mind took them to Dr. J. T. Wilson's office, but upon reaching there they were unable to get any further. The doctor pronounced their cases quite serious and at once summoned a carriage from Taylor & Co., and sent them to Wilson's Infirmary, where two Globe representatives called in the forenoon, and found both patients still very nervous and excited and suffering great pain. Neither patient would do a deal of talking, but it is learned from those who were in the station that the Street Railway Co. offered no assistance whatever, and these two unfortunate members of the fair sex were humiliated to such an extent that they were forced to hobble through the streets to find medical aid for themselves. Some effort has been made to find the exact cause of this accident, but with little success. The relatives of the two injured ladies have been very much worried over their possible recovery. They, however, were resting well at the time of going to press, and in the hands of competent nurses and physicians.
MANUAL TRAINING
"The colored teachers of the city are making rapid progress in their Mental Training work," says Prof. F. G. Smith. Principal of Pearl High School. They have received many bouquets in the way of compliments from their teacher. The public can judge of the amount of work done when they learn that in three lessons they have covered the work which usually requires one quarter to do. They are now working on a Persian rug of unique design. This rug was something new and so complicated that Miss Northern, our teacher, made a special trip to Chicago to study it. The teachers are getting the benefit of her knowledge."

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1907.
TO CELEBRATE THE EMANCI- PATION.
Saunder show to
San Antonio, Texas.—With the advent of spring there comes greater preparation for the celebration of the Emancipation. Proclamation. This city has witnessed from time to time some magnificent celebrations. Especially is this true with what is known here as the Nineteenth of June. It was on this day in 1865 that Gen. Granger of the U. S. Army landed at Galveston, Tex., and enforced the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln as a result and to keep this green in the memory of the Afro-American citizens young and old, a celebration is carried out with much pomp and ceremony each year in all the leading cities in the state of Texas. San Antonio, however, can boast of forging much ahead of the other cities for the high-class entertainments that it has given from year to year, especially since the younger element with their new ideas has forged to the front. These occasions have been a credit. The recent mass meeting which was called at the Benevolent Hall by Pres. Wm. Dickey made a wise selection of the president. Mr. Franklin Henry Tucker, who worked in celebrations for the past ten years. He has been identified with such past presidents of celebrations as J. M. Shelbourn, T. J. Dillwood, O. J. Carter and was an active member of the Executive Committee on the three celebrations conducted under the administration of Mr. Henry Allen Boyd. Mrs. Tucker was also a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary and has wonderful ability in organizing. The vice president. Mr. Thomas J. Dillwood, is one of the old guards and will certainly be invaluable timber in the councils of these young men. The second vice president. Mr. Jesse Milton Bumbrey is known for his tenacity. It was he and his untiring work that contributed so largely to the success of the celebrations of 1901, '02, '03. Mr. Chas. Townsend, the recording secretary, has had but little experience in public life, but associating with the gentlemen above named, proved a good asset. Mr. Gus Johnson, in the corresponding secretary is one of the most popular young men in the city. He has served with Messrs. Bumbrey and Tucker on the previous successful occasions. Prof. J.'R. Morris is treasurer. H. W. Hawkins and J. E. Scott, as grand marshals, completed the officers and the Executive Committee. In all probability the celebration will be conducted at the beautiful San Pedro Springs. Limburger's Garden on Riverside Park. Mr. Tucker, it is learned, will at once organize a ladies' auxiliary to the celebration commit-
Those who have sought to disregard the wishes of the majority of the Neroes of San Antonio in calling another meeting inside from the regular one which was called by the retiring president. Why did they end which was made necessary in electing Mr. Frank Tucker president and Mr. Gus Johnson secretary of the coming emancipation celebration, will soon and out that it is a hard proposition they have "withdrawn" the celebration is for the people who will be run by the people, who must be led of men whose object of such war goods on the occasion of San Antonio's representative men—business and professional—its ministers as well will have something to say about the matter, and those who are unable to stay side of life will be forced to take a back seat.
NOTES OF THE NEGRO EXHIBIT
The photographer, exhibitor of the homes owned by Negroes in Tennessee promises to be one of the most interesting and instructive exhibits of the whole exhibition. Dr. W. Gryss Smith, the Chief Agent for the State, is working very hard on this particular feature. He thinks that the homes of a people reflect the advancement in education, cultures, health, religion and civilization. With this aim, the colored photographers are now busy making photographs of these residences. In addition, the photographer, exhibit of residences, Flik University will be represented in an elaborate exhibit. President Jefferson is working out an idea which promises to be something entirely new at Expositions.

Mt. Olive Baptist Church, under the auspices of Rev. E. H. Smith, has been the scene of a remarkable revival. Beginning on March 3 and ending amid the beautiful services as are only had on Palm Sunday; results—one hundred and two conversions, and additions to the church—is the crowning effort of the above-named man and pastor. Easter Sunday will witness the closing of this revival, when the above numbered persons will be given the rites of holy baptism,

man, is a convincing pulpit orator and preacher of no little ability. His church has set the precedent of selecting young men as pastors, and its influence is being felt in this community. Another Baptist church has followed in the wake of Mt. Olive in securing the services of Rev. Goodall, of Nashville, and no doubt other will fall in line, with young blood at the helm.
SMYRNA NOTES:
The Baptist Church and Sunday school are preparing for a big day on Easter.
The M. E. Conference will be in session on Easter Sunday.
Miss Casie Cartwright is absent from school this week on account of sickness.
Mesdames Jonas and Ed. Ridley drove out Monday, afternoon and made a few calls in the Sand Hill community.
Mrs. J. L. Wade is on the sick list.
Little Oscar P. Cheatham, of Patterson street, Nashville, is here with his auntie, Mrs. John Hill.
Mr. Dudley Charlton entertained friends at dinner Sunday in honor of his birthday. Among those present were Revs. B. G. Strong and S. Thompson.
Mr. J. H. Darden was in the city last week.
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES
Definite arrangements have been concluded for an exhibit from the industrial and art divisions of the Armstrong Manual Training School at Washington, D. C. This display will be large and comprehensive and is certain to attract favorable comment. Principal W. Bruce Evans will have general oversight of the exhibit, while the mechanical features will be under the direction of Mr. Arthur C. Newman an expert in this particular line of work.
Miss Frances B. Spencer, a talented young lady formerly of Cincinnati; O., has prepared a beautiful exhibit of hand-painted china, valued at more than $500. Miss Spencer's artistic ability is a natural gift, as she has had little special training and carries no diplomas. Her work is much sought after, and is all the more to her cerit, because of its testimony of the inherent capacity of the race to grasp the fine arts.
There will be a substantial reduction in railroad rates to Jamestown, of which due announcement will be made. All roads lead to the great Ez-
position from April 28th to the frosts of fall-time, and everybody will have an opportunity to witness the thousand and one evidences of progress made by both races in the past three centuries.
Colored visitors will have access to every portion of the Exposition. Every building will be open to them on equal terms with all other visitors.
The Negro editors are suggesting a "Press Day," as one of the special features. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, President of the National Association, is heartily in favor of having a conference of newspaper men during the summer. He prefers, however, to leave it to the editors themselves, rather than to call a formal meeting, so that many who may not be members of the Association may participate in the "pow-wow." The Exposition managers would be glad to hear from the "press gang" on the subject, with suggestion as to the best time for such a gathering.
An instructive illustration of the advancement of our people in the scientific practice of medicine and surgery will be a special building in which there will be an Emergency Hospital, under the direction of a colored physician and attended by colored nurses. The room will be fitted up with exhibits showing the work of colored physicians and such medical colleges and hospitals as are under their supervision. The Executive Committee has appointed the following sub-committee to act and to arrange for the details of this highly significant exhibit of the race's professional development: Dr. A. M. Curtis, Washington, D. C., Chairman; George C. Nall, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. R. F. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. W. A. Warfield, Washington, D. C.; and Dr. Joseph France, Portsmouth, Va. All are well known and stand at the head of their profession.

REV. E. J. FISHER, OF CHICAGO.
About April 5, 1907, Rev: E. J. Fisher, D. D., pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, corner 27th and Dearborn streets, Chicago, is scheduled to pass through Nashville en route South. It has not been officially confirmed, but it is expected that Dr. Fisher will spend possibly a night and a day shaking hands with old friends while in this city, as he pastored the Spruce Street Baptist Church some years ago. He will be en route to his old home, Atlanta, Ga., where he goes on a vacation. His health has been very poor for the last two months, which, it is thought, resulted from overwork. He has built up a magnificent church in Chicago almost from insignificance to become the leading church in the city regardless of denomination. Nothing further is learned concerning his proposed Southern trip, except that his church sends him out for a much-needed rest.
ANOTHER TREMENDOUS LAND SALE
The second sale of the great Home offering by the Abraham Lincoln Land Co., took place Saturday afternoon at Fisk University Place, No. 2, this city. This second sale had been thoroughly advertised and anxious, impatient, yet ambitious Negroes of Nashville awaited the coming of this noted event. The prompters paraded Nashville with the I. O. I. band Saturday morning in a magnificent tallyho, drawn by four thoroughbred Kentucky horses. Hundreds of people went out on the Jefferson street car line to the end, where dozens of carriages were waiting to convey them gratuitously to the place of the sale. Promptly at the hour appointed, "the exchange of land for cash" began. The results were indeed gratifying. More Negroes now own homes from the results of these two sales than any city in the South, Raleigh, N. C., not an exception. It is estimated that fully $80,000 worth of property was sold. A Globe repre-
CO.,
sensitive has been quietly investigating the feeling of the people with respect to these most liberal terms. Many have expressed themselves as not seeing just how a firm could possibly offer for sale such beautiful and magnificent lots at these unheard of terms: $1.00 down and 50 cents per week, free deed in case of death, no taxes and no water rents. The office of the Abraham Lincoln Land Co., at 71 Arcade, has been besieged daily with inquiries relative to the time and terms of the sale. The Globe office from time to time has with pleasure given attention to all inquiries and referred them pleasantly to the office of this Company.
PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB.
The Phyllis Wheatley Club met recently at home of Mrs. H. Campbell, on Lafayette street. Quite a large number of members were present. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. G. L. Jackson; Vice President, Mrs. Evans Tyree; Secretary, Mrs. Harlan; Assistant Secretary, Miss A. Davis; Treasurer, Mrs. Harriet Campbell; Corresponding Secretary, Miss E. Pinkard. Bishop Tyree entertained the club delightfully with a few well-worded remarks which encouraged the ladies very much in their undertakings. After the translation of all business, refreshments were served in the dining-room which was artistically decorated with ferns and palms. The Club will meet Thursday, March 28, at the home of Mrs. Hammonds, 107, University street.
A PROMINENT RESIDENT OF
CHATTANOOGA IN TOWN.
Mrs. Caroline Durroh, a prominent resident of Chattanooga, is in the city to attend the Commencement exercises of Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges from which her son, Dr. Wm. Durroh, graduates to-night. While in the city Mrs. Durroh is stopping at 21 Wharf avenue, where her son has boarded during his stay here in the city. Dr. Durroh will locate in his home town where his brothers in partnership with Dr. Robt. W. Allen, a former Nashville boy, owns two of the finest drug stores run by colored men in the United States. He made a remarkable record here in Meharry, having passed the state board and secured a registered pharmacist certificate, one year before he had completed his course of study in the school. Mrs. Durroh and her son will probably remain in the city until next week.

WHAT WILL ROOSEVELT DO?
What will President Roosevelt do in the event that the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, which is investigating the alleged raid upon Brownsville by colored troops, bring in a verdict declaring the soldiers innocent? Will he have the courage to rescind his unprecedented order of dismissal without honor or will he set his own judgment against that of the Committee and with the tenacity of a fanatic maintain his position, no matter what the consequences, as it was intimated he would do when it was first proposed that the Senate investigate the affair.
The Committee on Military Affairs is composed of Messrs. Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming; Nathan B. Scott, of West Virginia; Joseph B. Foraker, Ohio; Henry C. Lodge, Massachusetts; James A. Hemenway, Indiana; M. C. Bulkeley, Connecticut; William Warren, Missouri; Chas. W. Fulton, Oregon; James B. Frazier, Tennessee; Lee S. Overman, N. Carolina; E. W. Pettus, Alabama; James P. Talliafero, Florida; Murphy J. Foster, Louisiana. A majority of these senators endorse but not in toto the action of the President. Hence it would be reasonable to expect that as far as they can consistently do so, they will bring in a verdict in accord with Mr. Roosevelt's wishes. But if, after hearing the evidence from Brownsville's point of view the Committee should declare that they found the soldiers blameless, would Mr. Roosevelt rise to the dignity of a man who believes in a "square deal" and make amends for his rash actions in the case?
President Roosevelt has antagonized more different classes of men and more different sections of the country than probably any other man who has ever occupied the executive chair of our government. The Crum appointment, the Indianola postoffice affair, the Booker Washington incident, made the South furious; the discharge of Bookbinder Miller and the theatrical declaration that the Government Printing office was an open shop ruffled the feelings of organized labor; his position on the San Francisco school question caused the volatile passions of the citizens of the Pacific Coast to explode; his activity in the legislation for the regulation of railway rates and for pure food estranged capital; his periodic intimation that he favors a revision of the tariff, has kept the East continually in a perturbed state; the unceremonious discharge of the black battalion so aggrieved the Negro race that even the most radical and the ultra-conservative joined hands in condemning the act; but through all of these clashes
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1907.
the masses have had confidence that though erratic and impulsive, Mr. Koosevelt's purposes have been those of an honest man. If the Senate Committee finds insufficient evidence to support his actions, will this honesty of purpose prompt him to do what all honest men do when they find they have made a mistake—make amends?
FREAK BILLS.
There is scarcely a state in the Union in which the regular sessions of the legislature do not generate a few freak bills. The favorite subject upon which the chin be-whiskered solons from the crossroads usually introduce bills is to place a tax upon bachelors. A legislator, in Arkansas, last week introduced a masterpiece in the line of freak bills. His measure provides, among other things, that no Negro shail wait upon white people on a railroad train, or serve them in hotels nor barber shops. After a heated colloquoy between the author of the bill and one of his fellow legislators, who wanted to emasculate the bill by amendment, the measure was referred to the Committee on Agriculture. It is possible that senatorial courtesy prevented the body of legislators from referring the father of the measure to the Committee on Insanity.
THE PENROSE COURT-MARTIAL.
The verdict of the court martial which tried Major Penrose, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, on the charge of neglect of duty in connection with the alleged raid upon Brownsville, is inconsistent with the regulations which obtain in the army. Maj. Penrose is innocent of the charges, but the men are guilty of "shooting up" the town of Brownsville, is the verdict of the court martial.
If the men be guilty of the raid, then the officers who had them in charge and whose duty it is to see that their men preserve the peace, are responsible for their actions. These officers have autocratic powers for the enforcement of discipline and if, with these powers, they could not prevent "at least a dozen men" from firing thirty or forty shots from four guns, as the microscopic tests made by the War Department show to have been the case, two of which guns at the time of the raid were in nalled-down boxes beneath iron cots in the storehouse of the post—if they could not ferret out the perpetrators of this black and shameful deed, then they would seem to us to be guilty of wilful and inexcusable neglect of duty. If Penrose is innocent of neglect of duty, and we believe he is, then the black battalion is innocent of wilfully and maliciously shooting up Brownsville.
The graduating class of Meharry, which raised so much Cain about having their photographs made by a white shop here in the city, proceeded forthwith to send to a white firm in Philadelphia, Pa., for their invitations. Results: The invitations were delayed until the week of commencement and—for the rest of the story just ask the gossips. These young men, every mother's son of whom must make his living almost exclusively from the members of our race, if he practices his profession, have passed by three of the best printing offices in the country owned, controlled and operated exclusively by Negroes, to take their work to a white concern in the North which we seriously doubt even so much as employs a Negro as a porter. The man who forever receives and never returns is a parasite and sooner or later he will learn to his sorrow the meaning of that trite saying, "Chickens come home to roost."
The late Mr. Vanderbilt, the railway colossus of his day, is reported to have said "The public be damned" when warned as to the opinion of the public concerning certain acts of his. E. H. Harriman, who occupies about the same position to the railroads of to-day that Vanderbilt did to those of his day, said recently that the railroads must take the public into their confidence if they would succeed. How like Vanderbilt are many of the colored business men to-day! They proceed on the theory that since they are Negroes the business of the race
must come to them on account of race pride. Instead of catering to their patrons and getting or doing what their patrons want they try to get off something "just as good." Harriman's plan pays in the long run.
Gov. Patterson must be a tender-hearted man like former Gov. Bob Taylor. There is scarcely a day that a pardon is not granted. But then we can not blame the Governor for he was formerly Attorney General of Shelby County and judging from the excessive penalties placed upon Negroes for the most trivial offenses, he must suppose that justice frequently miscarries in this state.
It now develops that four jurors on the Feist trial did not touch the "booze." That leaves eight men to get rid of four quarts a day. The man that can drink a pint of "fire water" in a day and not be effected by it must be old at the business.
The hot weather evidently caused "The Nashville Brand" to mistake Palm Sunday for Easter. She was out in all her glory last Sunday. Her hat was a dream, her dress, a rhapsody, her oxford ties—well we didn't look at her feet.
"Rastus and Beck" is a great institution in America. The United States had a civil war over "Rastus" and now two Central American governments are fighting over Beck.
DOUBLE TRAGEDY SUNDAY.
Margaret Gooch was shot to death Sunday afternoon, March 24, by Nettie Green who then takes her own life by drinking carbolic acid. Bill Tate was at the bottom of the murder and suicide if any inference may be drawn from the question put by Nettie Green to the Gooch woman, when she said, "Didn't I tell you to let Bill Tate alone?"
It was indeed a desperate woman who asked that question, and it required but a few moments to prove that she was desperate. Mary Wilkins, who was with Margaret Gooch and witnessed the whole affair, said that Nettle, who had apparently laid for her victim, came out from behind a house and met them as they were going through an alley off McGavock street, and immediately after asking the Gooch woman the question as stated commenced her bloody work. She worked in a hurry to complete the tragic program before any interference could be made, and she was signally successful. After emptying the remaining contents of a revolver in the prostrate form of the woman she had shot down and seeing that she was beyond human aid, she walked a few paces away and drank the poisoned contents of a phial preparatory to closing the two-act tragedy and following her victim into judgment.
It was all so quick and tragically awful! Only about 120 minutes elapsed from the opening act of the tragedy, till Death had dropped the mystic curtain over two human lives, blotting them out forever.
Nettle got as far as to the corner of Eighth avenue and Broadway and collapsed from the deadly effects of the poison; from here she was taken to the City Hospital where she died in agony a short time after reaching there.
The remains of Margaret Gooch were taken to the undertaking establishment of Taylor & Co.
Thus it is to be seen that murder continues to stalk about the community from week to week.
INSTALLS NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS.
Spacious Hall Corner East Hill and Factory Streets Crowded to Overflowing.
On last Monday night the members and friends of the Benevolent Society No. 81, assembled in their hall on the corner East Hill and Factory streets, the occasion being the installation of the officers recently elected for the ensuing year. The members who were out in full force, coupled with the large number of visitors present, taxed the hall to it utmost capacity. The officers and ushers were kept busy in their efforts to comfortably seat the people and it was nearly nine o'clock before President Williams had an opportunity to rap for order and state the purpose. After the formal opening, the president stated the object of the meeting. Said he, "We are taxed to-night, as you can see, for seating capacity, and we hope every one present will sympathize with us and make it as agreeable as possible." He announced that Ex-Grand Presstallation. The services were simple but impressive. The following are the

dent G. W. Hill would conduct the installation services. Mr. Hill asked that all the officers-elect would come forward. They responded, and formed themselves in a semi-circle in front of the rostrum. Prof. Wm. Lewis and several visiting members of other Benevolent Orders assisted in the innames of the officers installed: W. W. Williams, president; Summerfield Brown, vice-president; W. M. Copeland, secretary; Miss Maggie Beard, assistant secretary; Robert Page, treasurer; S. Jordan, Chaplain; Robert Ensley, chief marshal; Pleas McGlothon, chairman sick committee; Mrs. Rachal Harris and Mrs. Nettie Thompson, aids to sick committee; D. Battle, chairman board of directors; N. Tyree, chairman trustee board; Henderson Spence, chairman judiciary board; Ben Reeves, sentinel; Mrs. Bettie Watson, president of the auxiliary department; Mrs. Maud Barnes, vice-president auxiliary department. At the conclusion of the services the officers all expressed their appreciation of the honor conferred upon them and promised to do their best to promote the interest of the Order. Remarks were made by several of the visitors present. Many good things were said and much praise was paid to the members of the Order. Mr. E. E. Gibson said he hoped that in the near future the Orders in this state would erect an orphanage for the protection of children of the deceased members. Every one present seemed to think favorably of the suggestion.
After the speech-making terminated, refreshments were passed, and the large crowd feasted on the many delicacies that were served.
Robert Baskette, familiarly known about town as "Bunk," died suddenly Tuesday morning. A Globe reporter was told by people in the neighborhood that Mr. Baskette left his home on Jo Johnston avenue to go to his work at the cotton mill, but soon returned and complained of cramps in the stomach. After an hour of intense pain he passed away.
DELIGHTFUL DINNER.
Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton entertained a delightful dinner-party last Sunday. Seated around a beautifully decorated table laden with the season's delicacies were Dr. and Mrs. Singleton and children, Miss Ruth McKinney, Drs. Lucile Walker, F. G. Porter, F. B. Adair, all of Melarry Medical College, and Dr. W. S. Stevens, of Tallahassee, Fla., who is spending the week in the city.

Church, preached an able sermon to a large audience. The First Baptist Church Choir rendered excellet music for the hour, and at 7:30 the Epworth League met. It seems to be taking on new life. At 8 p. m. services began with preaching by Rev. I. C. Jones, pastor of Lane Tabernacle. The congregation contributed liberally, the occasion being a rally for the church.

FROM OPERATION.
Miss Edna Jenkins, of Apalachicola, Fla., a member of the Senior Normal class of Fisk University, was stricken with appendicitis on the 13th inst. She was hastily removed to Mercy Hospital, where she was at once operated on by Dr. Stewart and the appendix removed. Although very ill for several days, she is now convalescing rapidly and will be able to return to the University in about ten days. Mrs. Jenkins, who came up from Florida to be at her daughter's bedside, is delighted because of the young lady's rapid recovery.

For the first time in six or seven months the stockholders of the Union Transportation Company met at the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board last Friday night. The meeting was called to order by Rev. R. H. Boyd, owing to the absence of President Taylor, who had been called off on urgent business. A full attendance was not present, but enough interest had been manifested by a goodly number and they responded. The object of the meeting was very pointedly stated by the presiding officer, who entertained the stockholders until the president arrived. The business before the meeting was the consideration of what steps should be taken during the ensuing year. After it was discussed at length and several plans and suggestions were offered, it was decided to adjourn and advertise for a larger attendance of all subscribers of stock. It was agreed that a meeting be called for Monday night, April 8, at 8 o'clock p. m., in the National Baptist Publishing Board chapel, corner Second avenue, North, and Locust street. It was suggested that the pastors of the churches and all secret organizations make this announcement at each meeting, so that all stockholders could be notified. Messrs. T. G. Ewing, J. C. Napier and J. W. Grant were appointed a committee to get out official notices in a legal way. The meeting adjourned without further business.

Among the young ladies who attended the Meharry Medical College this year is Miss Maud Moses, who entered as a Freshman. On the 19th inst. she concluded her first year as a member of the pharmaceutical department and is expected to leave for her home, San Antonio, Tex., early next week, but will return to take up her studies in September.

Mr. J. Perry Patterson, of the class of 1907, Mehary Medical College, is expected to leave the city during the
next week for his home in Jacksonville, Fla., where it is said that he will locate. Mr. Patterson has been in the city for the past four years during the school term and has made many friends. Gossip has it that Mr. Patterson will be married to one of the Southern belles in the near future. Just who this young lady is could not be learned. Mr. Patterson did state, however, to a Globe reporter that while he had visited nearly every section of the United States, he know of no place that he would rather locate than at his home in Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. E. T. Fields who finished with the dental class of Meharry, will leave the city early next week for his home in Canton, Miss., where he proposes to locate. Mr. Fields is one of the few young men who has passed quietly through this great medical institution and has spent his vacations each year mingling with friends in his home town. Hence he has encouraged a large acquaintance and will undoubtedly enjoy an excellent practice. Mr. C. B. Wickham, who is possibly one of the best known students that has attended the Meharry Medical College for several years, will locate in New Orleans, La. This is his home. Already extra preparations are being made for his entertainment upon his arrival in the Crescent City. Being a young man of high standing at home, he will no doubt fall right in with the professional men, controlling his share of the practice. His experience in getting among people will assist greatly in his future career.

DEATH OF MRS. MATTIE P. HAD.
pox.
After an illness of but a few weeks,
death came and took Mrs. Mattle P.
Haddox, who resided at the corner of
Ninth avenue, North, and Gay street,
who was possibly one of the best
known church workers in the elty of
Nashville, Mrs. Haddox was the wife
of Mr, A. G, Haddox and the mother
of Messrs. Charles and Arthur Had-
dox of this city, as well as the sister
of Mrs. Green, of Murfreesboro, Tenn.,
and Mr. Petway, of this city. The
deceased has been a member of Mt.
Olive Baptist Church since its organi-
zation twenty years ago. Prior to this
she was a member of the old Spruce
Street Church. Her entire connection
with the church has been one of the
most helpful of any woman in Nash-
ville, her efforts being principally di-
rected to teaching boys. Indeed she
was honored by hundreds of young
men who have sat under her in Sun-
day school year after year. Until now
many of them are men of mature
years, who join in the sorrowful sym:
nathy for every member of the family.
The funeral services of Mrs, Haddox
were held at the Mt. Olive Baptist
Chureh and were conducted by Rev. C.
H. Clark, the pastor. He was assisted
by Rey. R. H. Boyd. Almost the en-
tire membership of the church who
had heard of the death, together with
scores of friends, were present to wit:
‘ness the solemn but impressive cere-
mony. Many and gorgeous were the
fioral designs. Mrs. Haddox was the
leading spirit in the Woman's Mis
sionary Organization, a teacher in the
Bible Circle, and was connected
prominently with the leading secret
organizations of this city, working in
every movement that would be of in-
terest to her people. Nashville loses
one of her most worthy citizens.
Heaven has gained an addition to its
host of saints.
SMALLPOX—CONSUMPTION.
Smallpox has been reported from
several portions of West Tennessee.
Residents unusally become very much
excited when several cases or even
one case is discovered in their midst,
and yet smallpox is not the most sert-
ous of all diseases prevalent in this
Southland. There is a scourge that
yearly, monthly, yes daily, and I might
venture to say hourly destroys more
victims than any other disease with
whieh we come in contact, and that
disease is known as “The White
Plague,” “Lung Trouble,” “Tubercu-
losis” or “Consumption.” We grieve
to see our loved ones droop and with-
er, as the days pass tediously by and
when the end finally comes we are re-
ae
q
linger with those deceptive symptoms,
we even deny the fact, hoping against
hope, and yet there is hope to save
some and prevent many from | con-
tracting the disease if we pay strict
attention to the smaler things,
During this unfavorable month of
March there will be many who will
succumb to consumption, Knowing
the disease is far advanced in many
eases, it is very advisable to begin
now, This disease is the greatest ex-
isting plague of the Negro race. The
duration and affection of the disease
is exceedingly variable. Some cases
run their course in less than a month;
others continue twenty or thirty years.
The average number as a rule termin-
ate in one or two years, When a vic-
tim dies after being afflicted only a
short time the disease is called “Gal-
loping Consumption,” and on the oth-
er hand after another has been sick
for a long time the malady is called
“Lingering Consumption.” Years ago
consumption was called a hereditary
disease, but now we often see the
young or old die with consumption
when there has been no consumption
on either side for generations past.
‘The tendency to have the disease ts
inherited, but, as aforesald, if certain
rules are closely adhered to the child
may escape. One of the early symp-
toms of consumption ‘that . usually
manifests itself is a short, dry cough,
exciting no particular attention, being
attributed to a slight cold. Beware of
a slight cold, These colds are treach:
erous, and when the case {s * pro
nounced a heavy cold, you may know
that it is a fair warning for Consump
tion is not at the gate, but at the door
with one foot on the threshold; for te
mankind he never knocks, never calls
never gives you a single warning o1
hint. Of all diseases he is the most
nnfaip, most unrelenting. I know o
no animal mentioned tn the Bible vith
which to compare consumption, unless
{t be the serpent.

ENTIRELY NEW DESIGN No. 5.
A NASHVILLE PHYSICIAN HON-
ORED.
As stated in the Jamestown Notes,
»rinted in another column, Dr, R. F.
Boyd, one of Nashville’s most prom-
inent physicians and a surgeon of na-
tional reputation, has been appointed
as a member of a special committee
on exhibits in medicine and surgery
at the Jamestown exposition. The ap-
nointment {s a just recognition of the
bility of Dr. Boyd and there fs no
doubt but that with his accustomed
energy he will be one of the most act-
ive of the committee for the success of
the exhibit.
Th committee proposes the follow-
ing as the plans for Negro exhibit in
medicine and surgery:
1. An Emergency Hospital, exhibit-
ing a modern Operating Room, con-
taining appliances, instruments fand
apparatus for First Afd to the In-
‘ured; Anatomical Models, normal
end pathological; special appliances
‘or dressing wounds; aparatus for
sterilizing instruments and appliances
‘or dressing wounds,
‘This room {s to be presided over by
> physician and two trained nurses
vho will be on duty for the treatment
vf any emergency cases.
2. a. Rooms adjoining the operating
oom, in which will be shown special
‘ospital charts, displaying clinical
records of patients, together with
uch other hospital data as are kept by
rained nurses,
b. Jars and cases containing spect-
mens of surgical and pathological in-
terest.
c. Displays of normal, pathological,
‘Vistological, and bacteriological prep-
rations.
4. Electricity as applied in thera-
reutics and surgery.
It is further planned to publish a
lirectory of colered physician dentist
and pharmacist. In a letter to Dr.
3oyd upon this subject, Mr. T. J. Cal-
loway, the rhairman of the Executive
committee, says:
“T now write to ask for the names
ind addressee of all the graduates of
Meharry Medical College. I wish to
use these names in completing a Direc.
ory of colored physicians, dentists
‘nd pharmacists throughout the
‘Inited States. We have compiled
thus far a Directory of about 400, 1
resume that the number ought to
reach more than twice that amount.”
This letter elicited the following in-
»rmation as to the graduates from
Teharry since its birth. There have
been:
804 graduates from Medicine,
107 graduates from Tharmacy.
120 graduates from Dentistry.
18 graduates from Nurse Training
Department, making a Grand
Total of
1944 graduates from all the Depart-
ments of Meharry.”
The directory containing the names
of the graduates from all the schools
in the country will indeed do much to
show the advancement of the Negro
in this special fleld of activity since
Emancipation.

A HEARTRENDING AFFAIR.
Rev. A. P, Pearson, at one time a
highly-respected minister of the gos-
vel in this city, became unconscious
‘n the supreme court room last Satur-
day when the sentence of 11 months
and 29 days, which he received in, a
lower court some time ago, was con-
firmed. It was thought that Mr. Pear-
son was a very sick man and he was
taken to the hospital, where he recov-
ered. It seems that the authorities
were not aware that he was under
sentence and allowed him to leave the
building. Mr. Pearson’s bondsman
promised to have him back to court
Monday, and he kept his word. Mon
day he began his term of imprison
ment for defrauding a poor womar
out of $5.09. His time will be out ir

REV. B. TAPPAN 77 YEARS OLD
On the 12th of March, Rev. B. Tap-
pan, passed his seventy-seventh mile
stone. Sixty: years ago he joined the
white Baptist Church in Cannon
County, under the pastorate of Rev.
J. M. D, Cates, a noted Baptist Divine
in that day. He has been largely in-
strumental in founding the Baptist de-
nomination throughout this _ state,
along with Rey. Nelson G. Merry and
other high churchmen of his day. The
Jay was spent quietly. In the eyen-
ing Mrs. Tappan and Mrs. C. H. Phil-
lips, his only daughter, and his grand-
children gathered in their home, and,
after a pleasant repast, Bishop Phil-
lips offered a fervent prayer, thanking
God for his long Christian life, with-
out reproach; and as he looked to-
wards its sunset, may the influence of
his past life be felt in the home,
chureh, state and community where
he has lived so long and so well.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. MATTIE F
HADDOOX,
By Mrs, Saran Lytton,
Thou hast left us, and forever,
The light of those sweet eyes
Will beam upon us never,
Till we meet above the skies.
Life’s sunshine was around thee,
The world looked glad and bright.
‘The ties of love that bound thee
Might have checked thy spirit’s
flight.
But the bounds that earth enturneth
Are all too weak to stay,
When the far-off heaven shineth
‘The spirit’s upward way.
‘Thou hast left us, and forever,
Thy smile of quiet mirth;
Ihy low sweet voice shall never
Soothe our aching hearts on earth.
The joys thy presence cherished
Like morning dreams have fled;
And a fair hope perished
Upon thy narrow bed.
For the love that we have borne thee
|_ Thy loss we need must, weep;

BASEBALL.
The National Baptist Base Ball
Team held. its first meeting Tuesday,
March 26, 1907, for the, purpose of or-
ganizing for the cuming, season. Short
talks were. made by several of the
members; then.came the election of
officers, Mr. J. Blaine, Boyd was made
president and manager; .Mr, Archie
‘Pointer, Captain; Mr, Fred J. Ewing,
Secretary, and Mr. lL. K, Thomas,
Treasurer. A Board of Directors was
also elected, consisting of the Presi-
dent, Mr, J. Blaine Boyd; Secretary,
‘Mr. Fred J. Ewing; Treasurer. Mr.
‘Louis K. Thomas; Captain, Mr. Ar-
chie W.. Pointer and two members of
the team, Messrs. J, H. Kelly and R,
C.. Fisher. The indications are that
the team will be much stronger than
last year, as several new players have
been added. They will begin practice
‘ina few days and will soon be, ready
to meet any team in and around the
city.
Mr. Phil B, Reid, a thirty-third de
gree Mason and a prominent business
man of St. Paul, Minn., spent several
days in the city last week en route to
Hot Springs, Ark, for his health. Mr.
Reid was born here and lived in this
city doring his youth, but upon reach-
ing his majority, moved West where
he has been eminently successful , in
business, ‘
On his trip South, he stopped over
in Nashville for the purpose of ar-
ranging some private business affairs
and looking into the record of two or
three Nashville ball players. Mr Ried
has secured the rights to both of the
base ball parks in St. Paul while the
regular League team is on tour and
has organized what is said to be one
of the strongest aggregations of semi.
professional teams in America, He is
sole owner of the team and has no
doubt but that with his strict manage
ment his team will be able to out:
class all of the white semi-professionale
of that section of the country. Mr
Reid. left the city Tuesday for the
Springs. While he had his eye or
about three players it has not been
learned whether or not he closed ¢
contract with any of them.
BIG DAY AT CENTREVILLE.
Sunday was @ day of good things at
Centreville. Richard Allen Lodge No.
74, K. of P., had their annual sermon
preached. Rev. J. C. Fields, of Nash:
ville, had the honor of preaching this
sermon, It was an ideal day and the
little town turned out enmasse to hear
the eloquent divine,
The K. of P's crowned themselves
with glory and honor. Centerville is a
progressive little town. Almost all the
Negroes own homes, horses and bug
gies and those who do not own homes
are buying. Mr. H. C. Bailey and
Ship run a first-class grocer-store and
tailor shop. They are doing a big
business.
Prof. 'f, J. Clinisson deserves much
credit for the present condition o
Centreville. He is principal of the
Normal and Preparatory school anc
by his Christian example and mora
influence has lifted the standard o
progress. In fact, he seems to be ¢
star of the first magnitude. He own:
@ beautiful little home which is wel
kept by Mrs. Clinisson, who has higt
ideals and knows how to make hom
happy.
