COWARDLY ATTACK MADE AT NOONDAY ON CEDAR STREET— DESPERADO MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE—POLICE MAKE LITTLE EFFORT TO APPREHEND THE MURDEROUS $COUNDREL. A crime that surpassed any ever committed in the South was that of a white brute on two ladles on Cedar street last Monday, when, without provocation, he hacked up their faces with a large knife until the sidewalk was covered with blood and they were faint with weakness. Such butchery of helpless women has never been heard of before in this fair southland, and had the perpetrator been black and the victims white he would have been apprehended before his tracks were cold, but despite the fact that a black man witnessed the deed the assailant is yet alive and at liberty. When will Negroes learn what to die for? This murderous attack took place on Cedar street just west of the train bridge between eleven and twelve o'clock. The two ladies, Miss Martha Floyd and Miss Martha Wright were on their way to work, and they stated to a Globe representative that they passed this man on the corner of Walnut and Cedar streets. He was standing whitling a stick. They went on paying no attention, and had no thought that he was bent on doing them any harm. When they noticed him a second time he was trampling on their heels. They asked him to desist from his impudence, saying to him that the side walk was large enough for all of them, when, without a moment's warning, he drew his knife and commenced his savage butchery. He stabbed Miss Floyd several times, and when Miss Wright begged for mercy for her friend, he turned upon her, cutting her face into a pulp. He then retraced his steps up Cedar street and was soon out of sight. The young ladies' eyes were full of blood and they were so excited they could not tell which way he turned when they reached Walnut street. Blinded with blood they made their way as best they could to Dr. Burrus' office, corner Ninth avenue and Cedar street, where their wounds were dressed. It was necessary to put twenty-five stitches in Miss Wright's face and several were taken in Miss Floyd's face. When seen by a Globe representative at their home at 308 Capitol avenue, the young ladies were suffering intense pain. They presented a pifful sight, and the brute that butchered them up was still at large. The police station was called up to ascertain whether or not the savage had been captured, and the feeble reply echoed back, "No." It will be hard to convince the forty thousand Negroes in this city that the police have been vigilant in their search for this murderous brute, but they feel like saying: To the winds with your theory that it is the duty of every Negro to assist in bringing to justice every black criminal, for the rule will have to work both ways to be effective. They believe that if the police and detectives had been diligent in their search they would have captured the thug before Monday night; but it rather makes them feel that this flend is being harbored. The daily papers with all their facilities for gathering news could not learn anything about this assault. If a Negro steals a rotten egg they have it before he cracks the shell. Equally as bitter is the denunciation of the Negro man who stood and saw the assault and did not as much as give alarm. They hold that he should have captured the brute dead or alive and delivered him to the police authorities. This occurrence puts the Negroes on a wonder what will be next? For when it reaches the point where innocent women cannot go to their work without being hacked to pieces, our civilization is receding and we are fast drifting back to a stage of savagery. Colored women must be exempted from white brutalism. NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1907. NEGRO CAUSES APPREHENSION. American Naval Officers and Norfolk Society Fear the Coming of Haitian. At all times and on every occasion old "cuffy" is causing some body to loose sleep. The latest is a report to the effect that the little black republic is to accept the invitation sent out by the United States Government to the nations of the world to participate in the celebration at Jamestown. The alarming cry reads as follows: Chicago, April 23.—A special to the Tribune from Norfolk, Va., says: If the Republic of Hayti carries out its threat there will be more trouble at the Jamestown exposition than all the old English pioneers put together ever encountered in the strenuous times the big show is intended to commemorate. A report from Washington, which just got out to Rear Admiral Evans' fleet to-day and gave the officers seven different varieties of brainstorm, says the Haytian Government is trying to borrow a warship somewhere with the object of sending it to the naval review as the shipship of a Vice Admiral. A Haytian Vice Admiral would be black and probably short and extremely black. That, though bad enough, is not all. The Haytian Vice Admiral, black and short and fat, would be the only Vice Admiral, with the possible exception of the commander of the Japanese squadron, at the exposition. And, according to the etiquette of the navy, all the other naval officers would have to knowtow to him and give him social and official precedence. Such is the emergency with which Admiral Evans and the officers of his fleet have been suddenly confronted. The prospect of a Haytian Vice Admiral's coming spread consternation all up and down the long line of battleships anchored off the city. No official action has been taken as yet, but there is talk of sending a flying squadron out to sea with orders to see that the Haytian warship and its Vice Admiral loses its way between the black Republic and Jamestown. Scarcely less than the commotion caused by the report among the officers of Admiral Evans' fleet is the commotion it has caused in social circles here. There will be a good deal of official and unofficial entertaining of one kind and another while the fleets are here, and social leaders are wondering how they will have to treat this short, fat, and extremely black Vice Admiral if he should suddenly appear and claim all his privileges. It is a question which they refuse to discuss, but they hope the Haytian sailor will stay at home. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NOTES. In spite of the bad weather, Mr. Peyton and his boys are busy at work on their farm. It is desired to make this year a successful year in this line of work, and with the aid of his able line of assistants, Mr. Henry Jackson, who has become thoroughly acquainted with farming, it is hoped that great success will be the result. This school is a place where young boys and girls are taken in order that they may have their hands trained to do service. Mr. Peyton is a true Christian man, honest and upright, with the love of his people a' heart. His success is chiefly due to his ability for managing. Mrs. Peyton has charge of the day school and is succeeding nicely. Mr. Henry Jackson has been a member of this school several years, and has always given general satisfaction. Those who are not acquainted with the school should come out and see what is going on right in their midst. DID NOT PARTICIPATE. The fire department of Woodland Street, East Naslville, did not participate in the exhibition which took place on Deaderick street. Tuesday morning as a part of the program for the Spring festival. It is learned that they were stationed at headquarters to take the place of the Deadrick Street Company in case an alarm was turned in. They witnessed the competitive exercises as they were carried out in front of the fire department. PAYNE CHAPEL. Last Sunday at the 11 a. m. service Bishop B. F. Lee preached an able sermon. The Allen League, at 6:30 p. m. under the leadership of Mrs. S. M. King, had a grand meeting. At 8 o'clock the Payne Chapel Choral Class made its first appearance, with Miss Etta Lee Bradford, organist. WRANGLING OVER ATTENTIONS BEING PAID BY BOTH MEN TO THE SAME WOMAN, BROUGHT ON THE DIFFICULTY, WHICH BROUGHT ONE TO DEATH AND THE OTHER TO PRISON. Jealousy rests at the bottom of another murder which is chronicled in records of the criminal history of this city and charged up to the account of George Spurlock for the killing of Charles Smith. The "proverbial woman in the case" holds true in this, it is sald, and the result is the same old tale. Such tragedies are to be regretted, but they are inevitable as long as men and women allow the passion of jealousy to overbalance the sober dictates of reason. The dead man and his slayer, it is rumored, had been, before the tragedy, mentors of the same woman. The shooting of Smith by Spurlock occurred Saturday night. April 21, at or near the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Pearl street. The men quarreled over the matter between them, growing more and more heated with anger until finally Spurlock reached his word limit and whipping out a pistol fired at his antagonist, the ball striking him under the arm and passed in his body so as to cut in two his spinal cord. Smith was taken to the City Hospital and there examined by the surgeon in charge, his opinion was that the wounded man had practically no chance of surviving. This opinion was only too true and was soon to be verified, for Smith succumbed to the effects of his wound during the night and passed to his account. The charge which had been lodged against Spurlock for assault with a pistol with intent to kill, was changed to murder and he was committed to fall without bond. He must now answer the people's demand to know why he has done this, and hereafter he must answer God's injunction, "Thou shalt not kill." In moralizing on this bloody affair, it is not out of place to say that the men and women who feed and pamper jealousy hover in their hearts the most cruel and deadly of all the human passions: they are nursing a lion's wheb, so to speak, which, when grown, will be beyond the power of control, and will demand carnage, yea, and will have it. Some one has sald, and truthfully so, that jealousy is as natural as love, and like love, it may be curbed or cultivated. One thing which the records of crimes bear out as a fact, and that is this: Jealousy, unleashed, is a demon that drives under its lash the victim, in whose soul it is lodged, to the commission of the most horrible deeds. In conclusion, it may be reasonably predicted that the killing of Smith is the beginning of another series of homicides. WALDEN UNIVERSITY NOTES. The Improvement Committee of Walden University alumni had their business meeting in the office of Meharry College on Monday, April 22. This committee has only been in existence two years, yet they have raised over five hundred dollars in the way of improvement. Their work has been somewhat handicapped by the suits which were pending, but as they have now been dismissed, the committee will go to work in earnest. It was decided at this meeting that all moneys raised by them hereafter should go toward a building fund. The work for the coming year was carefully planned and all entertainments to be given under the auspices of the alumni, will be in the hands of this committee: Eddie Dickerson, chairman; Vera L. Moore, Secretary; Tillie Lloyd, treasurer; Dr. T. H. Elliott, Dr. J. H. McMillan. MISS ANNA T. JEANES' MUNIFI-CENT GIFT. Miss Anna T. Jeanes, of Philadelphia, Pa., has made a generous and magnificent gift of $1,000,000 for the educational uplift of the Southern Negro in the country and rural districts. Miss Jeanes is a Quakeress and has long been interested in the welfare of the Negro, contributing to institutions of learning where he is being fitted educationally and morally for the work of life. Too much cannot be said in praise of this noble-hearted woman in giving in perpetuity this large sum of money to help disseminate the light of enlightenment, through the practical medium of education, to the masses of our people in the rural communities, who are dependent solely upon the limited and sometimes meagre appropriations of state and county funds for whatever educational advantages their children receive. This splendid gift was most gracious and magnanimous, coming at a most opportune time—a time when there was a full in benefactions for educational purposes of the Negro. While the Negro is not stopping to whine and play the baby in the absence of liberal benefactions as have heretofore been given, yet he is most grateful for any material evidence that the philanthropic spirit of interest in his well-being is not dead. Ever and anon along the highway of his racial life some generous souls who, ascending to that height of disinterested nobility which shuts out narrowness, shuts out color, shuts out prejudice, and only looking at us as a part of a common humanity, striving, deserving and needing assistance, lend us substantial aid and bid us rise to the full stature of highest usefulness by persistent and unflagging industry. From the tablelands of God, as it were, they fling out to our upturned faces the banner of Hope upon whose white folds is inscribed in radiant letters this significant encouragement: Onward and Upward. This awakens in our anxious souls a newer, fresher hope, a saving faith in the ultimate outcome of a grander, brighter day, if we but labor on and wait. The Negro is so constituted that he is as grateful to his friends as he is forgiving to his enemies; he never forgets manifestations of kindness and soon curbs the ranklings of bitterness for inflicted injuries; these are known characteristics of his elastic nature, not that he is a fawning sycophant for favors nor an insensible dullard to injuries, but that he has learned to take the most hope- (Continued on page 7.) MRS. MARY HUMPHREY RETIRES Mrs. Mary Humphrey, well known in Nashville as the proprietor of the up-to-date boarding house, corner Eighth avenue, North and Gay street, has retired from business on account of failing health. She has successfully conducted this establishment for years. Since her retirement she has turned the house and its contents over to her niece, Miss Alice Carter, who is now busily engaged in renovating the place. Entire new furniture will be installed. The house will be remodeled neatly and all conveniences will be added. Nashville has needed for a long time an establishment of this kind run on modern basis. Nashville has long suffered because of not having one. The new management has promised the public the best accommodations. Just under what name the new house will be known has not been given out. They have decided, however, to give special attention to their meals on Sundays, and assurance has been made that the rates of boarding and lodging will be within reach of all. CRAZED BY CIGARETTES. Boy Puffs Like an Engine and Sings Like a Bullfrog. Hopkinsville, Ky. (Special.)—Charlie Roach, a boy of this city, 16 years of age, has been adjudged on unsound mind and sent to the Western Lunatic Asylum here for treatment. It was the excessive use of cigarettes that caused the boy's reason to give way, until he could no longer be left at large. He labored under two very peculiar delusions. One of these was an idea that he was a railroad locomotive, and he would whistle, puff and blow just like an engine using his arms to perform the duties of piston-rods. He also at times imagined that he was a frog and would roll and turn his eyes like one and make a noise like a bullfrog. No.16. At Fisk Memorial Chapel, Friday Night, April 19. AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE LISTENED ENRAPT AT THE RENDITION OF THAT SPLENDID PRODUCTION BY A MAGNIFICENT ARRAY OF FISK'S SWEETEST SINGERS. The twenty-seventh season of the Mozart Society was celebrated in the Memorial Chapel, Fisk University, April 19 and 20, at which time they gave their fifty-ninth and sixtieth concerts. This society has elicited more than one applause from Nashville's enthusiastic music-loving public. It was said year before last when they rendered "The Messiah," that they had reached the climax of their perfection in this line. A similar remark was made the preceding year when they produced "St. Paul." but the taging and producing of Harry B. Vincent's "Prodigal Son," has proven that these predictions were all untrue. Wisk's Mozart Society produced this pratorio in a way that the public shall not forget. The fact that so many have looked upon that oft-repeated passage of Scripture from the Bible to compare with their conditions, made the occasion one eagerly looked forward to. The program itself was enough to guarantee a large audience. It appeared in the nearest form, showing a beautiful cut of the Memorial Chapel as it looks from Jubilee Hall. The members of the Mozart Society consist of some of the leading singers of the South. Many visitors come from adjoining cities to witness these annual concerts. The conductor, Prof. H. H. Wright, appears to spend his force on these particular occasions. Hence the fifty-ninth and sixtieth concerts on last Friday night and Saturday matinee will long be remembered. Special praise for excellent service is made of the sopranos, Misses Marie V. Peek and Elsie V. Taylor. Both of these are in a class by themselves. They are favorites and will remain so for time to come. Mrs. John W. Work, the undisputed best contralto singer in the South, was by far the ideal of the evening. Mr. John Work, the tenor, as usual, enraptured the audience with his beautiful tenor solos. Mr. Alfred G. King, baritone soloist, was a new star. Certainly the young man is destined to come up in his class. Too much can not be said of the different parts taken and rendered. The several choruses were especially enjoyable. Each part grew better and better. The chorus, "There is joy in the presence of the Angels of God over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just men that need no repentance," was captivating. It was enchanting and brought forth tremendous applause from the audience. The last quartet by Messrs. Boutte, Merrill, Mrs. John Work and Miss Peek was another beautiful selection; but the choral fanfare, "Oh that men would therefore praise the Lord for His great mercy unto the children of men," was considered by all the treat of the evening. Notwithstanding the clam-like mode of the audience, which was plainly evident throughout the entire evening, they had to burst forth with a tremendous plaudit. It was noticed that the audience did not show the proper appreciation for the perfect and beautiful production, "The Prodical Son." Notwithstanding the second piece in part one. "Father, give me the portion of good that fallleth to me," sung by the sweet tenor soloist, Prof. John W. Work, was beautiful in every respect, not a sound of approbation went up from the audience. A Globe reporter paid particular attention. It was about the middle of part second, when some apparently enthusiastic hearer broke the long silence with a boisterous handclap, which seemed to set off as by electricity a part of the hearers. It was taken up and carried around and by the time part three was reached, the audience was giving vent in more than one handclap to their appreciation of the program. Prices to Suit the Masses.

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Pearl School base ball team defeated the Waldenites in a hotly contested game last Friday afternoon to the tune of 15 to 8. A good crowd was present to witness the game, many ladies being present. Next Friday afternoon, April 26, at 2:30 o'clock the Pearl Washingtonians will measure strength with the Fisk second team. If the weather is favorable, a large audience is expected, as it is reported that Fisk will have a half-holiday on that date on account of the meeting of the Congregational Association. The Pearl nine appears to be in the pink of condition. Professor Washington, the manager, for whom the club is named, declines to give the line up to the public and it is said that he has a surprise to spring when time is called for the game to begin. There appears to be much hard study and deep thinking on the part of the pupils of this school now that final examinations are close at hand. The devotion to books is very noticeable among the 11-A and 8-A Grades, members of which are candidates for graduation from the High School and Grammar school respectively. The Principal and teachers have taken pains to notify the parents of all doubtful ones in advance, that every possible thing might be done to prevent any from falling. In a talk to the school a few days ago, the principal said that much valuable time had been wasted by some of the pupils and a terrible school earth-quake was imminent unless improvement was made. Many names will be found missing in all the grades when promotions are read. Parents, take warning. Professor Smith and Miss Bryant have discovered a pretty new piece of music for Commencement which they will use instead of "L'Estudiantino." "Ring, Lily Bells," by Sudds, will be substituted. The Manual Training Class of Teachers which meets at this school every Tuesday is making surprising progress in the work. They have about finished basketry and it is astonishing and pleasant to hear them talk of the "Lazy Squaw Weave," "The Double Hem Weave" and the "Figure 8 Weave," things of which they knew absolutely nothing before this course was started. That was a splendid suggestion --- Prof. Smith made at the High School Commencement last year when he asked the Board for an enlargement of the course of study. But the colored citizens must not go to sleep. They must see to it, as far as their influence extends, that his suggestions are carried out, that is, that the course be supplementary and not subtractive or substitutive. Among those who have done exceptionally fine work and of whom honorable mention should be made are Messrs. Jas. Anderson, R. E. Battle, S. P. Miller and Chas. Montague, Misses Emma Boyd, Emma J. Cockrill, Georgia Lofton, Lucy Patterson, Matie B. Scales, Mrs. L. P. Allen and Mrs. Anderson. Professor F. G. Smith, the principal spent Saturday and Sunday in Pulaski on business, where he reports having a fine time with Professor A. T. Hill and friends. A BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL. A Globe reporter dropped in on the Mt. Olive Sunday School Sunday morning, and was indeed encouraged at the size of the school. Of course it has been conceded long ago that the church itself was by far the largest int he city, but this did not necessarily mean they should have the largest Sunday school. Sunday schools are made by active workers and their attendance, as a rule, depends upon the amount of interest injected in the study of the Bible by officers and teachers. This school had about two hundred in attendance Sunday morning, while the enrollment is just two hundred and fifty, a wonderful showing in attendance, compared to the enrollment. There seemed to be no unusual effort on foot, but a glance at the collection would indicate something of a rally day. The secretary reported the day's collection to be $10.50, 40 cents of which was added to the "Sinking Fund" of the Sunday school, which is held in reserve for sick members. The banner class was reported to be class No. 9, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, teacher, with a collection of $3.40. This class is composed entirely of young ladies and has held the banner for the past four Sundays. A very prominent visitor was present in the person of Rev. Wm. Beckham. He was introduced to the school and delivered a neat little lecture. The superintendent Mr. James Hurt, an nounced that an effort had already been put on foot to bring the Sunday school up to five hundred. INDIAN TERRITORY NEGROES OBJECT. Advices from Muskogee, I. T., confirm the report that the constitution now being drafted by the constitutional convention will be strenuously opposed at the polls in the coming election. It is estimated that some of the strongest men in all the republican party of the proposed new state, will oppose the ratification of the constitution. Despatches to the daily press seem to be of the opinion that President Roosevelt will also veto the new constitution. At any rate it appears that 46,000 Negro votes will be cast against the constitution as drawn up by this convention which is in session at Muskogee. BIRTHDAY PARTY. On April 18th Mr. and Mrs. Smiley, of 1026 Fourteenth avenue, North, have a party in honor of their sister, Miss Maria L. Thomas, it being the anniversary of her birth. Various names were played, and refreshments were served. Among those present were Misses Janie Sneed, Florence anrade, Beatrice Laprade, Bessie Mathews, Beulah Walker, Messrs. Williams H. Mathews, Felix Mathews, Rev. Russel and Richard Smiley. TO THE PASTORS OF THE A. M. E. CHURCHES: You who have not Allen Christian Endeavor Leagues in your churches, please organize the same at once, and get your various committees to work. It would be a shame to African Methodism for this great Convention to come here in July and for the churches and pastors of this city to be in arrears. Let the ministers of the city wake up and do something —that is, get busy. M. B. TOPP. Secretary. TRANSFERRED FROM GREENVILLE, MISS.. TO NASHVILLE, TENN The post office department at Washington. D. C., does many things in shifting about its employees to fill vacancies that would seem surprising when one does not know the real system. One of the recent moves in this direction was the transferring of Mr. L. T. Lewis from the post office at Greenville. Miss., where he was a regular letter carrier, to the letter carrier force at Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Lewis has been in the mail service about four years, and it appears that he had made an application direct to the restructurer general for a transfer to some office and accordingly had been promised the first vacancy in a desirable city. There existed a vacancy in the Nashville force, so Mr. Lewis was transferred. He arrived in the city a little more than a week ago, but did not go to his route until last week. He has been given a route in South Nashville. The record of Mr. Lewis as a carrier in Greenville is a worthy one and speaks well for him during his four years of active service. He comes to Nashville to begin a new career, which he expects to make as creditable as the one at home. It adds another carrier to the force of the local post office. JEFFERSON NOTES. The Sunday school at Hickory Grove had a rally on last Sunday. An excellent program was rendered by the Sunday school members. The children raised $4.85. Miss Lizzie Reed has returned from Nashville. Mrs. Amanda Coleman has returned from her visit North. Rev. Mr. Johnson, of the C. M. E. Church spent Sunday with his friends. Mr. Horace Black has completed the fence around his beautiful home. PROMINENT VISITORS IN THE CITY. Miss Emma S. Malone, who spent several months recently visiting her mother in her native town, Athens, Ala., resides in Warren, Ohio, and Miss Ella M. Thomasson, of Athens, Ala., who accompanied Miss Malone as far as this city, were the guests of Capt. and Mrs. R. B. Richardson at their beautiful and well-appointed home. 1015 Sixteenth avenue, North, for a few days last week. Miss Malone stopped over ostensibly to see some of her childhood friends who reside here and whom she has not seen in many years and also to pay a visit to her old alma mater, Fisk University, which she has not seen since she left its sacred and beloved precincts many years ago, and Miss Thomasson, the only young lady of the class of 1894. Fisk, accompanied Miss Malone. They, in company with Mrs. Richardson, were escorted by Mr. J. D. Crenshaw, a former fellow-townsman, to see the National Baptist Publishing plant. After being taken through every department of this institution, they expressed pleasure and surprise at its magnitude and the harmonious and genial atmosphere surrounding its busy and bee-like activities, saying that a look in upon the great institution and its workings leaves a convincing impression that it is one of the greatest uplifting levers in the racial life of our people as a moral and religious agency, and more especially the denomination which it serves and which must have pride in it and its founder. Dr. R. H. Boyd. Miss Malone left Thursday night for her home in Ohio, and Miss Thomasson will remain in the city several weeks visiting relatives and friends. MR. WARD GOES NORTH. It has been learned that Rev. G. Wm. Ward, who is a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and who recently was pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church, Chattanooga, has accepted the pastorate of the Zion Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Ind. Rev. Mr. Ward is well known in Nashville. He is a young man fully capable of holding his own in the pulpit. Several years ago he ran a very successful meeting at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, this city. He was prominently identified with the Baptists in Tennessee, was a member of their state board and an enthusiastic worker of Roger Williams rebuilding movement. Nashville joins Tennessee in her regret for losing such an able young minister. THE ITINERARY OF DR. BECKHAM. Rev. Wm. Beckham will leave Saturday for points in Kentucky. He will go to Henderson and Frankfort to fill engagements for the first of May, from there to the South Carolina Convention at Aliken, the West Virginia Sunday School Convention at Huntington, then to the Virginia Baptist Convention at Norfolk From there he goes to the Executive Board meeting of the National Baptist Convention, which will be held in Washington, D. C., on the 18th of May. It is rumored that Rev. Beckham will then cross the continent to California. He is not expected to return to Nashville until after the Sunday School Congress, which is to meet in New Orleans, La., June 26-30, when thousands of Sunday school workers will congregate to discuss all phases of the work. This will make the second trans-continental trip for Dr. Beckham since he recovered from his recent illness in January. He stated to a Globe reporter that since leaving Nashville from January 20th to his return April 16th, he had traveled 15,000 miles and had averaged four lectures a day. In Savannah, Ga., he spoke seven times in one day to large audiences. SQUARE LODGE N.P.I. CINCINNATI, OHIO We manufacture K. P.

Miss Price wishes also, through the Globe, to thank Elders Utley, Boothe, Welch, Revs. Nelson and Slaughter who visited her last week, for their words of encouragement and donations left her. FINED $10.00 FOR SWEARING. A boy named Lofton was fined ten dollars in the City Court Wednesday morning for swearing at a white man. It seems that the boy was driving hogs along Third avenue and as he reached the railroad a train was about to pass. The man on duty at the crossing tried to stop the hogs, but failed in the attempt. Consequently he had to stop the train. It is said that he spoke rather impudently to the boy, who used considerable profanity in responding. The boy was haled to the court room and Judge Baker fined him $10 for disorderly conduct. TWO COLORED PAPERS FOR SAN ANTONIO. It appears that in spite of the small Negro population of San Antonio, Texas, they are destined to have two weekly papers run by our people. "The San Antonio Bee" is the name of the last in the journalistic arena. The issue of April 20 has been received in Nashville. It contains a deal of news matter and some cuts of prominent business and professional men of that city. Rev. Thos. A. Brown. M. D., Dr. G. J. Starnes, Dr. J. G. Grimes, Rev. M. B. Moody, Dr. I. D. Coffee, Mr. Jesse M. Bumbrey, Mr. Ike Porter, Rev. I. H. Kelly, Rev. R. B. Morris and Mr. Joe Morris, are among the San Antonio people portrayed in that issue. Several ladies of that city are also in it in the person of Miss Susie A. Dibble, a milliner, and Miss Ethel B. Selby. It is further noted that Nashville is recognized, as the paper --- --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1907. E CLOSE SATURDAY, MAY 4.

The manager and editor of the San Antonia Bee is Mr. Giles N. Toole, who was at one time connected with the San Antonia Inquirer. NEGRO GETS IT IN THE NECK And His White Brothers Go Free Three Warrants on Charge of Practicing Dentistry Without License. Some vigorous steps have been taken within the past few days against persons said to have been practicing dentistry without first having obtained license from the State Dental Board, as required by law. Three warrants have been sworn out during the past few days by Dr. W. H. P. Jones in Justice R. R. Caldwell's court, and fines have been imposed in two cases, and the third one, who is a Negro, was committed to jail. The arrests were made by Deputy Sheriff James M. Allen. W. T. Churchill and J. C. Nunn were the two white men placed under arrest, and James Crockett was the Negro taken into custody. The three men are said to have been doing work in establishments on Church street. Churchill and Nunn submitted the cases, and paid fines of $25, the highest penalty provided by law. The Negro was unable to make bond, and was committed to jail. It is said that there have been complaints from patrons of certain establishments, who claimed that when they contracted to have certain work done they were required to make deposits, but on returning again they could not locate the individual with whom they had contracted. They claimed that the second individual would say that he had nothing to do with the contract, and if he did the work would have to be paid for again. Dr. Crockett makes an excellent cat's paw posing as a dentist, and will perhaps be as big a fool when he gets out of jail as he was when he went into the skin game with his white friends. They seem to have gotten the money and Dr. Crockett the lemon. 71 ARCADE. BRENTWOOD NOTES.

SIGNIFICANT. It is highly significant of the industrial status of the country and the real value of the Negro as a laborer that while the states of the South are organizing immigration bureaus and appointing immigration agents to go to the old world and persuade and subsidize foreigners to immigrate to this section of the country, West Virginia is trying to add to its Negro population by securing emigrants from the South. The coal fields of that state need men to develop them and those Negroes who have gone there are proving to be such satisfactory laborers that the employers are anxious for others to come. The advantages of the state over those further South are being pointed out by those interested. Among these they mention the following: Though the state has a Negro population of less than 50,000, three schools are supported directly by appropriations from the state; the public schools for both races have the same curriculum, run for the same period and the teachers receive the same amount of pay; no "jim crow" cars, no disfranchisement; wages range from $2 to $5 per day and property for homes is cheap; pay day every two weeks and the men are paid in cash, not being compelled to spend their money at the Company's store; lodge halls and churches are furnished by the mining companies; men not wanted as strike breakers but for permanent employment and the offer is made to furnish transportation from any portion of the country. Some of the advantages, and we haven't named them all, may be the exaggerations of the "labor agent," but be that as it may, the significance of the fact that other sections of the country are asking for the labor of that happy-go-luck fellow who so often works at almost starvation wages, and that they want him as a permanent citizen, can not be minimized. Some day, we fear, the South will awake to the fact that while chasing the chimera of immigration and low wages and going into spasms over the fear of social equality, it has allowed the best labor in the world to drift from its confines. NOW FOR A BEAUTY CONTEST. The St. Luke's Herald, woman-like won't take a man's word for it, but wants to see for itself. In replying to our surmise that the Herald "was satisfied just to hear of the hat, the dress and the shoes" of the Nashville Brand and did not care a rap about the face, it shoots this 12-inch shot, loaded with boastfulness, a pun and a challenge, capped with a supplication, which hits us, as it were, amidships: Some time back we tried our best to coax you two, great, big men to come out of the tall timber and show THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY. APRIL 26. 1907. everybody the "Nashville Brand and the "Springfield Beauties." Everybody watched both papers for months to see the "Brand" and the "Beauties," like wise and discreet men, both ducked. In fact, we never did see any reply from the Forum; Brother Battle fought his battle with his pen, but declined to put the "Brand" on his front page. Now, on Easter Sunday it rained, hailed and snowed. Sunday after Easter it rained all day; last Sunday it snowed and rained. But on the first clear, warm Sunday we are going to turn our girls out in all their glory, arrayed in "dreams" made by a Negro milliner, dress, shoes and outfit purchased at a Negro department store, The St. Luke Emporium, and thus arrayed, with angelic face and form, we laugh at the thought of the "Nashville Brand" and the "Springfield beauties" being in our class. We are the F. F. V's, you know, gentlemen. O do put one of the "Brand" on the front page, Brother Battle, and you, too, Mr. Forum! Now, if Sister Walker has been noticing the front page of the Globe since she has been trying to "coax" the "great, big" man of the Globe "to come out of the tall timber," she has undoubtedly seen the likeness of one of the fair daughters of Tennessee, though we did not label the cut "Nashville Brand." But to keep our esteemed contemporary from thinking that we are dodging the issue and to satisfy our own curiosity as to whether the F. F. V. is an aristocrat, or a railroad train, as we have seen it advertised, we will agree to print on our front page a cut of one of the Nashville Brand, providing the Herald will do likewise with a representation of "old Virginny." A PRINCELY GIFT. The gift by Miss Anna T. Jeanes, of Philadelphia, of $1,000,000, for the establishment of a trust fund the interest of which is to be used for the betterment of the school facilities for Negroes in the rural districts of the South, is destined to do great good for a class of our race that mentally stand in great need of help. It should be welcomed by all citizens of the South no matter what their color because in bettering the schools for our race the whole community will profit thereby. The trustees, Dr. Washington, of Tuskegee, and Dr. Frizzell, of Hampton, are practical educators, well informed as to the needs of the rural schools and their selection to administer the trust guarantees that it will be applied for the best interest of those for whom it was given. The interest from the fund, which will amount to about $40,000 a year, is a mere drop in the bucket when it is taken into consideration that the fund is given for the whole of the South. But it will be a great help and doubtless others, following the lead of this pious woman, will add to the sum. THE "BEST CITIZEN" VINDI CATED. We have been dreaming that the "best citizens" of the South who constitute the mobs that take without any semblance of law the lives of men accused of crimes, were really the tough, low-down class, locally known as "po' white trash." We have had a rude awakening and now accept the newspaper correspondents' designation of lynchers as the "best citizens" of the place. The best citizens have proved their rights to be so designated. In Louisiana a gang of lawless men hanged a man last week who had been accused of an attempted assault. This was not strange. But at the request of the man who was soon to be hurled into eternity, it is said, the leader of the mob led in prayer. This was strange! Because it stamps the man as one of the "best Christian citizens" of the place. What a farce is the religion of the white man! Prayer followed by murder! If this be the true religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the Negro has another kind. Peaceful Bill Taft is back from his cruise in equatorial regions as happy as ever. He is keeping silent in six or seven different languages as to what he will do in the Ohio contest between Senator Foraker and himself. Mr. Taft has been forced several times to explain that his chief did not mean what he had said on several subjects—that is, not exactly as the public interpreted his sayings. Before he is through with the Ohio contest perhaps he will explain that he was the administration's candidate only in a Pickwickian sense. Human life is regarded so cheaply in this city that a man is said to have remarked to his wife, when in a fit of passion recently: "I'll kill you and pay for you. It only costs $15 to kill a Negro." Judging by Nashville's long list of homicides and the filmsy excuses upon which the murderers are turned loose, it costs even less than fifteen dollars. Almost every week there is a murder, but conviction with the proper penalty in the most flagrant cases seldom follows. Nashville should have a few legal hangings then these bad men would not be so ready to give vent to their feelings. Hayti gave the officials of the Jamestown Exposition a scare when it was reported that a short, fat and very black representative from that country would attend the opening ceremonies of the show as a Vice Admiral. Had such been the case the Haytian would have outranked all the naval representatives from every country represented except Japan, and would have taken precedence at all social functions. Happily for the distressed whites, Hayti will be represented by two members of its army. First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock has been in the South on a gumshoe inspection of the administration's political fences in the South. Reports from Georgia that its delegation would be for Foraker seem to have stirred up the powers that be in Washington. Now watch out for the report of some kind of a conspiracy. Ben Tillman's minstrel performance appeared at several one night stands in the rural districts of the South last month but we not so much as even heard of him. Since he has gone North, it seems his press agent "got busy." Cuba takes the prize for longevity. A man died there this week who was said to have been 150 years old. Wonder if he smoked, chewed or drank and if so what brand? ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY. The City Alumni Will Give a Grand Booth Entertainment at Spruce Street Baptist Church, Monday Night, April 29. Every one is interested in Roger Williams University, and wants to see the school rebuilt. There will be given on Monday night, April 29, at Spruce Street Baptist Church, a booth entertainment under the auspices of the City Alumni of Roger Williams. This being the only entertainment of its kind ever held in the city, it is expected that the lovers of education will take great interest in aiding the enterprise. They have placed the price in the reach of every one; just the small sum of ten cents will admit you to visit the six different booths which have been arranged by the ladies of the association. It is to your interest that you should come out on this night and bring your friends and see that others come. Mrs. E. M. Lawrence and Mrs. G. H. Bandy will have charge of the ice cream booth. We all like things that are a novelty, therefore you should visit novelty booth, which will be in charge by Mrs. A. M. Townsend and Mrs. Eloise Glass. These ladies will see that you get just what you want by asking. The ladies do not wish to slight any one and if you are a lover of flowers just go to the flower booth, where you will find any flower you desire. You will find here Mrs. M. J. Anderson, Miss Birdie King and Mrs. R. L. Miles to wait on you. Aprons are the articles that can not be dispensed with. Mrs. Perry and Miss Effie Bryant will fit you up in this line. Don't dare think of leaving until you visit every booth and buy something from them all. The little ones have not been slighted, for they all like candy; so don't go away until you have carried them around to the candy booth and filled their pockets with some of the choicest candies there are on the market. Mrs. J. W. DeWees, Mrs. W. A. Reed and Mrs. Martha Redmon are here to wait on every one, to see that you get just what you wish. Would you dare think of leaving the house until you had visited the booth where you can get all the soft drinks at your own price?

Who would miss such a grand treat as this when you can come and get what you want to eat, drink and wear, and enjoy yourselves and feel that the money you have spent is for a noble cause. Beautiful Roger Williams University is no more. The buildings were destroyed by fire. The insurance money was collected and carried to New York or somewhere else, and the campus has been cut up into residence lots and is being sold under an agreement that no Negro will be allowed to live there except as a servant. This arrangement was made by a society posing as agency to do Christian missionary work. The Negroes have become disgusted with such hypocrisy and have determined to erect a Roger Williams themselves and conduct the same as they see fit. Great progress has been made and the Alumni are giving this entertainment feeling that the people will be glad to assist them in any way possible. MR. J. C. NAP!ER IN NEW YORK. Mr. J. C. Napier left the city for New York, last Monday night, where he will remain the entire week. Mr. Napier went to New York, it is learned, to be present at the special call meeting of the executive committee of the Negro Business League, which was called by President Booker T. Washington. They will consider some very important matters while there. One which will come in for a great deal of discussion will be the place of meeting for the next Negro Business League. While it was decided last year in Atlanta, to hold the meeting in the West, there appears to have arisen a sharp competition as to whether it will go to Little Rock, Ark., or Topeka, Kans. At any rate, indications point across the Mississippi to some of the thriving cities of the West. The city that furnishes the greatest inducements will in all probability capture the meeting. It has been the policy of the Negro Business League to meet wherever they can do the most good. Another matter to be considered will be some method of reviving local business interests and leagues, and state organizations, as only a few states have maintained the independent organization. Mississippi still leads, with Arkansas a close second for state organizations. Tennessee has no state organization, and the city league appears to have died completely.

San Antonio, Tex., April 22.—There is no interest whatever being manifested here in the court martial of Captain Macklin, an officer of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who is being court martialed before the military court here at Fort Sam Houston, charged with neglect of duty in the case of the Brownsville "shoot-up." Matters have simmered along in their usual red tape form during the entire proceedings. The public appears to be disinterested since the verdict of "Not guilty" in the Major Penrose case was rendered. In army circles things seem to go as a mere matter of fact and form. To-day there were no proceedings. The court martial adjourned until the call of its president. Adjournment was had pending the arrival of two witnesses from Washington, D. C. The probabilities are that the court will not meet again until Thursday or Friday. This action it is believed will postpone the close of the prosecution until Monday of next week. There was, however, a case to be taken up at the court which was the trial of Corporal Knowles, a member of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who was arrested at Fort Reno charged with assaulting and wounding Captain Macklin on December 21. This case has been indefinitely postponed, because of the court martial now pending. Only a few people visit the post at these sessions. All the excitement and interest that is noted in the city is that of the hundreds of visitors who have come here from all parts of the state to witness what is commonly known as "The Battle of Flowers." This occasion celebrates San Jacinto Day in memory of the battle of San Jacinto, in which Texas annihilated the Mexican army. The Texans were led by Gen. Houston and the Mexicans by that intrepid Santa Anna. Hence on April 21 and 22 of each year, for the past twenty years, San Antonio has put on her holiday dress to celebrate in fit style these memories. They have made themselves famous for these flower parades. Hundreds of people take advantage of the low rates to come to this beautiful Southwestern country. They are entertained royally. The parade this year was gorgeous in every respect. It wound its way around Alamo Plaza, where thousands of visitors viewed it from the post office, the Maverick Bank Building and other places. It marched down Houston Street to Milan Square, around the city market, coming back to the military plaza. It was viewed by the city officials from the City Hall building through Trevenio Street to Main Plaza, where the county officials in the court house had a magnificent view of it. Many were the comments upon the picturesque scenes. A general holiday was observed. Some famous figures were noted on the street. Particular mention should be made of W. H. Mitchell, who is the oldest letter carrier in San Antonio, having served for twenty-seven years consecutively. He was the first appointed when the service was inaugurated; J. M. Bumbrey, who has recently sold his interest, on account of his failing health, in the cafe of Scott & Bumbrey; Gus Johnson, Jr., of the letter carrier force, and O. J. Carter, of the Carnegie Library, who is president of the Texas Auto Company. OBITUARY. The funeral services of Mrs. Maggie Hightower took place from the Second Baptist Church Tuesday, April 23, at 2 p. m. Every available space of the church was filled, and hundreds of persons, not able to gain admittance, waited patiently on the outside. Rev. G. B. Taylor, the pastor, delivered the funeral eulogy, assisted by Rev. W. S. Ellington. The remains of Mrs. Maggie Hightower were laid to rest in Mt. Ararat, by the side of her husband, Mr. Brown Hightower. The following obituary was read: Mrs. Maggie Hightower was born in March, 1847, and departed this life Sunday morning, April 21, 1907, at ten minutes to four. She was married to Mr. Brown Hightower April 21, 1866; thus they were married for forty-one years. She professed a hope in Christ in 1872 and was baptized by Rev. Alexander Buchanan and joined the Second Baptist Church. She lived a consistent and faithful Christian for thirty-five years. She had extraordinary ability as a business woman, working by the side of her husband and assisting him in planning and managing his business for more than thirty-five years, during which time she never stopped a day for rest. In the conduct of her business, she was universally known as upright and honest in all dealings, thus gaining the respect and confidence of her patrons. As a neighbor, Mrs. Hightower was peaceable, quiet, patient and forgiving, ever ready to help the poor and sympathize with the afflicted. Her appreciation of the faithful service rendered her and her husband in the conduct of their business by Miss Georgia A. Sanders, who was their clerk and bookkeeper for more than seven years, was both confiding and motherly. She was a faithful member of the Benevolent Society No. 106, the Mutual Aid Society No. 4, and the Topeka Lodge No. 3 of the Sons and Daughters of Israel for a number of years. As a wife and mother, Mrs. Hightower was devoted, gentle and ever ready to do her full share of whatever duty came by reason of her position as wife or mother. Her devotion for her lamented husband was especially beautiful and pathetic. She seemed never able to throw off at any time the sorrow caused by the death of her husband who died only three months ago. Mrs. Hightower was a working Christian. Few members of any church were ever more successful in raising money for the church and for the cause of Christ than was Mrs. Hightower. She not only gave liberally and constantly of her own money, but used her influence, working day and night to get the other members of the church to do their duty. She was a friend to the pastor, ever ready to sympathize with and to help him in the discharge of his pastoral duties. She has well won a place among those to whom the Heavenly Father will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Mrs. Hightower fell sick on Friday morning and grew rapidly worse. Towards the end, she said to her faithful friend, Miss Georgia A. Sanders, "The Lord is taking his time, but he will come. Everything is all right." She leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, a number of other relatives and a host of sorrowing friends. LONGFELLOW'S "HIAWATHA," AN INDIAN LEGEND, RENDERED AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY. The Elocution Class of Walden University, under the direction of Mrs. E. W. S. Hammond, presented to the public Longfellow's "Hiawatha," April 12, at the Meharry Auditorium, and the large crowd which was present witnessed quite an enjoyable evening. The actors and actresses, all of whom are members of the elocution class, played their parts well and reflected much credit on the class and their able directress. Mr. S. J. McLemore, representing Hiawatha, acted his part well and was very amusing to the audience. Miss S. Lindsey, representing Minnehaha, was the favorite of the audience, partly because she was the one wooed, and partly because the audience knew of the awful fate that awaited her. She, meek and obedient, anticipated every wish of her father, Mudjukeewis (Mr. Frank O'Bannon) and her lover. Her death was very pathetic, attended by Hiawatha and her grandmother, Miss Carry Young, who was also a favorite of the audience. One could never understand by reading the production nor observing it staged, why such a beautiful life should be attended by ghosts; however the ghosts were quite ghostly and played their parts well. No one, of course, could be expected to fall in love with those tall, white-clad figures as they wandered about the death chamber of Minnehaha, and the audience was quite relieved when the curtains shut out the view of the ghostly sight. Mrs. Hammond deserves great praise for this very excellent program, as well as for great skill in preparing the same. Those who failed to witness the production of said program missed a rare treat. GRAND MASTER OF THE MASONS IN THE CITY. Prof. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga, Grand Master of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons for Tennessee, spent several hours in the city Sunday en route home from Clarksville, where he had been to set up a new lodge of this Order. Prof. Henry is one of the most prominent citizens of Chattanooga, being the principal of Howard High School. He has filled this position for a number of years with complete satisfaction to all the citizens of the city. Though his visit here was cut short by some important business at home, he will probably pay another visit to the city at an early date, as he is a grand lodge officer and individual member of the Masons. He is very deeply interested in the Masonic orphan's home which was recently purchased through Elder Preston Taylor by their Order. WHITE WOMAN FINED. The City Court of any city possibly has a larger variety of cases on its docket than any other court. The Nashville City Court, presided over by Judge Baker, is not an exception to the rule. Last Monday morning there were sixty cases on the docket. One, however, proved to be quite interesting. It was the case of Mrs. B. Lally, who keeps a grocery store in East Nashville. Mrs. Lally was charged with tippling without license. In her case two fines were assessed. One fine of $50.00 on a charge of tippling on Sunday, and another of $20.00 on the charge of tippling without license. Another case was against Jake Hirschberg, who keeps a saloon on Ewing avenue. His case was tried and dismissed. Both of the prominent cases were white. SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL Nº 1 I.U.J.H. NEW YORK,N.Y.

ASSOCIATION OF CONGREGATION AL CHURCHES IN SESSION AT HOWARD. An excellent program was rendered at the Howard Congregational Church, Twelfth avenue, North, on Wednesday night, which marked the opening of the twenty-sixth annual meeting of the Tennessee Association of Congregational Churches, and the Eighteenth annual meeting of the Women's Missionary Union, now in session in this city. It was 7:45 when song services were opened by the choir of Howard Church, assisted by some of the leading singers from Fisk University. An appreciative audience, including distinguished citizens from all parts of the city, listened with interest to the proceedings. The welcome address was delivered by Hon. J. W. Grant, who in a very interesting talk extended a welcome to the visitors from the several states. There were other addresses of welcome on the program but the others assigned were not present. The response was made by Rev. J. E. Smith, D. D., of Chattanooga. A beautiful selection was rendered by the female quintet. Mr. W. L. Johnson, of Lexington, Ky., who was presiding, introduced Rev. J. G. Merrill, D. D. President of Fisk University, who delivered the opening sermon. Dr. Merrill took his text from Exodus 33:15: "If thy presence go not with me, carry us up not hence." This was a powerful sermon. He portrayed from the life of Moses some most beautiful characteristics. It was one of the most logical sermons heard for some time. Dr. Merrill proved to be a powerful minister of the gospel. His sermon was timely and appropriate. After the offering, the services closed, when the introduction of visitors took place. The general session of the Association will be held at Howard Church Sunday, the 28th. The closing service will be held Sunday night, with sermon by Rev. C. J. Ryer, D. D., Secretary of the American Missionary Association, New York City. Dr. H. M. Hamill. Superintendent of the Sunday School Department of the M. F. Church, South, of Nashville, a man whose interest in the Negro race has won the confidence and gratitude of colored people in Nashville, will appear on the programme.

REV. W. S. ELLINGTON STORMED The ladies of the First Baptist Church gave Rev. and Mrs. Ellington a very pleasant surprise Wednesday night, April 24. Between ten and eleven o'clock, loud rapping was heard at the front door. Upon opening the door a number of joyous, laughing ladies rushed in, singing, "We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves." They were laden with good things for the pantry—sacks of flour, sugar, coffee, tea, potatoes, butter, soap and cans of syrup, corn, pine apples, peaches and other good things. Those who participated in the "storm party" were Mrs. Emma M. Battle, Misses Eleanor and Willie Battle, Mrs. Ellen Benson and Miss Janie E. Benson, Mrs. L. B.

English, who for many years was a faithful servant in the family of Mr. H. W. Timothy, No. 2806 West End avenue, died Thursday, April 18, after a few weeks' illness. Have you landeding done at the Economical Steam Laundry, 413 Cedar street. Mrs. Kate Brown, of Patterson street, was confined to her room a few days last week. ful view of his environment and adjust himself to existing conditions. The nobility of Miss Jeanes as exemplified by her act in giving the princely sum of $1,000,000 as an endowment in perpetuity, the income from which shall be used for the educational benefit of colored children in schools in rural communities throughout the Southland recalls to mind the unselfish efforts of another great and noble-hearted woman—Harriet Beecher Stowe—who through the medium of pen, succeeded in awakening the public conscience against that incubus of crime, chattel slavery—the crime of the centuries. She laid bare the glaring inhumanities as they existed and the effects were electrical—slavery was doomed, and the people whose cause she espoused were destined to be the recipients of other benefactors such as Miss Jeanes. Thus it is to be observed that gentle woman has played and is still playing a conspicuous part in the salvation of our people. Miss Jeanes has done a significant and commendable thing in naming as one of the trustees of the fund a colored man—Booker T. Washington. This recognition of Washington is also a recognition of the possibilities of the race. Forty years ago, which is a short span of time in the life or history of a people, it would have been beyond the belief of any one that at this near day a million dollars would be given to our people for education and one of its members charged with the duty of assisting in selecting a Board of Trustees to see to the distribution of the income. The wildest and most optimistic dreamer could not have conjured up such a seemingly impossible thing; yet just such a thing is pleasingly to-day. It is true by the providence of God whose workings we understand only in direct ratio to the diligence and application we give to the solution of the problems next to our hand. He shows us his goodness through human channels, as in the case under notice. Here is a thing which is pregnant with meaning: First, Miss Jeanes made a million dollar gift for the education of the Southern country Negro; second, she intrusted a Negro with a prominent share of the responsibility of seeing that her intentions relative thereto are carried out, putting these two facts together, and summing up by deduction, it must be presumed or the conclusion drawn that she believes that the wisdom of her actions in this particular instance will be justified by results in the coming years. GOODLETTSVILLE NOTES Miss Mary L. Finch recently celebrated her sixteenth birthday at her home. Many friends were there, and a large number of presents were received. The entertainment given on the 20th inst. for the benefit of the Afro-American Mechanics' Council was a success. Little Henry Patton, Jr., has recently been very ill, but is now improving. Mrs. Martha Payne is very ill. Our public school closes to-day. Miss Rosa B. Hendricks is in Nashville this week as the delegate to the Tennessee Association of Congregational Churches. The services at the Congregational Church last Sunday afternoon were well attended and seemingly highly appreciated. The pastor made an earnest appeal for practical religion. A. M. E. UNION. The A. M. E. Ladies' Union No. 1, held its regular monthly meeting Friday, April 5, at the residence of Mrs. Evans Tyrce, North Hill street, with a large attendance. The meeting was opened by the President, Mrs. Henry Smith. After all business was transacted a delightful programme was rendered. Mrs. W. T.

THE CITY B. Y. P. U. Some months ago there was organized in Nashville what is known as the City Baptist Young People's Union. In forming this organization it took in possibly over twenty-five Baptist churches with young people's organizations. The president was selected from the Mt. Olive Baptist church, the largest in the city, in the person of Mr. J. Blaine Boyd. The city organization was to meet at one of the Baptist churches monthly. The meetings were to rotate. The first meeting, since the organization, was held at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Fields pastor. The second meeting was to have been held at First Baptist Church, East Nashville, last Sunday. Quite a number were present, including Rev. Mr. Fields, Miss Hall, Rev. Dr. Clark, President Boyd and others, but the attendance was so scattered and so irregular the meeting was postponed to some future date. St. Clair Smith and Sylvia Etta Henderson. R. S. Anderson and Marv Williams. G. W. Terrass and Mattle Jones. George Jackson and Fannie Parker. Marcellus Bostic and Beulah J. Williams. Rev. N. Smith and Mr. William Hall on last Sunday evening performed the sacred duty of administering the Lord's Supper to Mrs. Lizzie Couch, who is very sick at her home in Lusktown. The revival meeting is now being held. It is hoped that some able minister will assist Rev. Mr. Smith in his great effort to advance the cause. Recently a social club has been formed by several of the young ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Allen Copeland's President Misses Henly. Lula Sledge and Walker, Misses Telford, McIntosh and Price are members. The Sunday school is growing so rapidly that more teachers are needed. The number of scholars enrolled is forty and is increasing every Sunday. Mr. Howlett, the superintendent, is elated over the success. Miss Della Buchanan is at present the organist for Sunday school and church. The members of the choir are Misses Lillie Hall, Reba Johnson, Addie Buchannan, Lottie Anthony, Bettie Lusk, Carrie Rideout and Hattie Henley, Messrs, Hazzie Huggins, Andrew McIntosh, Elmore Telford and Henry H. Walker. Mrs. A. A. Neal has closed her third term of school in Neely Bend and is at home on the Murfreesboro nike. Mr. George Fleming, who left this city a number of years ago to live in St. Louis, Mo., died in that city last Friday. His remains were brought here Monday morning and carried to the home of his sister, Mrs. Frierson, on Jo Johnston avenue. The funeral services were held Tuesday. 93c MARRIAGES. EBENEZER NOTES: DIES IN ST. LOUIS. WILL NOT ATTEND BOARD MEETING. It is learned that the call issued by Rev. E. C. Morris for the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention to meet in Washington, D. C., on May 17 and 18, will not be responded to by all the members of the various boards. Dr. C. H. Clark, Chairman of the Publishing Board, will not attend the meeting unless a different construction is put upon the call. The doctor does not construe the call to mean that the chairmen of the various boards of the National Baptist Convention are expected to be present, although it is stated that the original intention of organizing an executive board to the National Baptist Convention was to have the chairmen and secretaries of the boards, with the officers of the convention, to comprise the executive board. It seems that the Baptists are having so many constructions put upon their calls that they themselves do not know just when they are complying with their own rules. If the three boards of the National Convention which should be located in Nashville, are to be represented in this meeting at Washington, it would take to that city Drs. R. H. Boyd, of the Publishing Board; E. W. D. Isaac, of the B. Y. P. U. Board, C. H. Clark, of the Publishing Board, and Wm. Beckham, Field Secretary. It is not learned definitely whether any one of these, except Rev. Beckham will be present. At this meeting the program for the National Convention is usually arranged. Then, too, other matters of importance that cannot remain over until the annual meetings, are usually taken under advisement. Whether Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock Ark., chairman of the Home Mission Board, and Rev. Dr. Frank, of Louisville, Ky., chairman of the Foreign Mission Board, so interpreted the call is not learned. If Dr. Robinson and Dr. Frank attend, it will be, possibly in the interest of matters concerning their boards' places on the program for the coming convention. REARRESTED ON CHARGE OF MURDER. The wounds of Charlie Smith, who was shot last Saturday night by Geo. Spurlock, proved fatal. Mr. Smith died at the city hospital Monday morning. His relatives are determined to vindicate his untimely death, and immediately his uncle, Mr. Ed Baker, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Geo. Spurlock on the charge of murder. The warrant was served by constable Jesse Welch. Spurlock was taken before Justice Dan U. Burke and committed to jail without bail. It is said that the two men met at the house of a woman near Pearl and Watkins streets, and that there, after some minutes of unpleasant words and wrangling, the shooting occurred. Some seem to think that jealousy was the cause of the shooting. The prisoner has not been interviewed but it is said he would not make any remarks whatever except to say that it was a very unfortunate occurrence. WILL BE HOME IN MAY. A letter from Clarence Engene Allen, who will finish with the class of 1907 at the Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., says that he will be home in May. The letter was addressed to Mr. H. Allen Boyd, and reads in part as follows: "Vours of some weeks ago was most gladly received. I note with much satisfaction that you are doing a good work in Nashville, and that you see nothing more encouraging than to help unfit fallen humanity, as well as to assist in the advancement of our race. I am exceedingly glad to have the good wishes of my friends at home. The closing days of my college career are near at hand. I would appreciate very highly anything the Globe might make mention of concerning my college days. I am finishing here after a very good and successful year. Our closing day is May 15. I expect to be in Nashville some time during the month of May. It is my intention to take a professional course. I am anticipating entering the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis, to take a course in denistry, as this is my choice in the professions. It is a great field and so far as our people are concerned it is as yet undeveloped. Remember me most kindly to inquiring friends. CLARENCE EUGENE ALLEN. ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Last Monday during the day Al Johnson, who was arrested charged with assaulting Chas. McMahon of the county road camp guards last week, was arrested and placed behind the bars. Johnson was located by patrolman Henry McCarver near Mt. Nebo settlement in West Nashville. They visited the places where he was suspected to be stopping about 11 o'clock but he had gone. He was finally arrested and brought to town and committed to fall without ball. FOR MEN. WOMEN AND BOYS. EQUAL ANY $3.50 OR $4.00 SHOES ON THE MARKET.
