Nashville Globe

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Purchase Being Made By St. Louis Firm. IT IS SAID THAT THE CARS WILL BE RUN BETWEEN NORFOLK AND JAMESTOWN, DURING THE EXPOSITION, FOR CARRYING PASSENGERS. "Eight of the large twenty passenger coach electric automobiles equipped with 42 cell MV, exide storage batteries and two Westinghouse motors that were purchased in the fall of 1905 by the Union Transportation Company, have been sold to a St. Louis firm." This is the startling remark that was made to the large gathering of stockholders of the Union Transportation Company that had assembled in the chapel of the Baptist Publishing House, corner Market and Locust streets, Monday night. There was no business meeting held, because the constitution and by-laws of this Company require that one-half of the subscribed stock must be represented to form a quorum. It was 9 o'clock when President Taylor announced that there was still no quorum present and that for this reason it would be impossible to proceed with the meeting. He said that he thought it would be best to tell the stockholders present just what had been done since the last meeting, at which the executive committee was instructed, together with the business manager, to dispose of all or a part of the cars on hand in order to meet some of the indebtedness. President Taylor said he would ask the business manager to state just what part of the transaction could be stated off-hand. The business manager made a statement in substance as follows: "Acting upon your advice we have succeeded in closing a deal with a St. Louis firm for eight of the large twenty-passenger coach electric auto cars, a part of the fourteen of the original purchase. The derl was closed about twenty-five days ago for a sum which enabled us to relieve the pressing embarrassment. These cars were repaired, the batteries overhauled and they were put in an operating condition. Of course the money was not on hand to do this, but arrangements were made by which the money was secured and on Friday and Saturday, the 19th and 20th, the cars were loaded on the L. & N. Railroad and shipped to Norfolk, Va., as per the instructions of the purchaser. This leaves only a small amount of the original purchase price to be paid on the cars." In closing, the business manager stated that there was nothing else connected with the transaction of any importance. President Taylor asked the Secretary to read a letter from one of the banks in St. Louis that held the notes of the original purchase. The secretary stated that there was only $734.26 remaining unpaid on the first $20,000 debt incurred by the Union Transportation Company in the purchase of these cars, batteries, pumps and other paraphernalia with freight on the same. President Taylor made a lengthy address to the stockholders. He stated that he had in the beginning of the organization vowed to throw himself heart and soul into the cause. He felt that what he had belonged to his people, if they would appreciate it. He said that he had never before in his life endorsed notes for any one, but that he had personally endorsed these notes at the request of the board of directors. The notes amounted to something over $9,000 in the beginning. They were to mature quarterly, $1,000 each with interest at the rate of 6 per cent. He said when the first note fell due for $1,000 he called a meeting of the stockholders. "They met and ordered," said Dr. Taylor, "you all to meet the note." He also said that he and another friend had met these notes regularly for the past twelve months, $1,000 per quarter with interest, until he saw there was nothing else, apparently, that the stockholders cared to do. He continued in this strain and gave a complete history of all the transactions of the company since its organization. A Globe representative was present and took accurate note of the trend of affairs. Most of the stockholders present were ladies, who still seem to evidence a deep interest in the affairs of the company. Judging from the address of the President, it seems that only about three or four men in Nashville have borne these burdens. The citizens have paid little or no attention to the organization. The thousands of dollars that have been subscribed in stock have never yet been paid in, and it seems that the failure to operate the cars is due only to the limited finances put into the company's hands. They have never had sufficient funds. Dr. Taylor stated that the cars had been bought and would run from Norfolk to the Jamestown Exposition, a distance of ten miles. He felt sure that the people who bought the cars would operate them, and that he for one, when he went to the Jamestown Exposition, would make it his duty to take a ride on these cars. The meeting adjourned until Friday night, May 10. PROF. DAVID ABNER, JR., TO VISIT NASHVILLE. It has been learned that Prof. David Abner, Jr., of Conroe, Texas, will spend two or three days in Nashville this month. Prof. Abner, it will be remembered, was elected at the National Baptist Convention in Memphis to succeed Prof. Jno. R. Wilson, of South Carolina, as Secretary of the Educational Board, and was to have moved to Nashville early in last December, but after getting back to Texas, it is said that such flattering inducements were offered Prof. Abner by schools, and such pressure was brought to bear by scores of life-long friends, that he could not tear himself away. He accepted the presidency of the Conroe College at Conroe, Texas, and has decided to remain in the active educational work. He is the builder of Guadalupe College, which institution owns a large tract of land and many buildings in Seguin, Texas. It is learned that he will stop over here en route to the educational board meeting which will be held in Washington, D. C., on the 17th of this month, to tender his resignation as secretary. His stay here will be for the purpose of shaking hands with old friends and looking over the Baptist publishing house. Prof. Abner is an educator of national reputation. He is a graduate of the noted Bishop College at Marshall, Texas, one of the largest Baptist schools in the South. BAD WHITE MAN. A most disgusting scene was witnessed by passers-by on Twelfth avenue, just north of the Phillips and Buttorff foundry, last Saturday afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock. A rascally white fellow, apparently fifty years of age, deliberately made an indecent exposure of person in the presence of five or six little colored girls, whose ages ranged from nine to five years. The old scamp felt perfectly safe from arrest for his villainous performance. It is easy to see through and back of this old white rascal's lustful intentions and dirty game. For an old white scamp to resort to such scoundrelly tactics to try to inflame the minds of children would stagger belief, were it not a fact. A parallel case of such moral depravity could not be found in all heathendom. PLEASANT GATHERING Mr. and Mrs. Samuel entertained a few friends last Sunday from 5 to 7 p. m., at their cosy home in Rock City. The occasion was thoroughly enjoyed. Those present were Mrs. Annie Mayes, Mrs. Susie Cole, Mrs. F. White, Mr. and Mrs. Milton White, Mrs. Driver, Mr. G. Hise, Mr. Geo. Cole and Mrs. L. Brice. BANQUET AT WALDEN. There will be a banquet to-night at Walden University under the auspices of the Young Men's Lyceum. The reception will be at the Music Hall, while the supper will be served in the dining hall. The invitations that are extended are indeed beautiful. Preparations indicate a very swell affair. The young men have extended a few invitations to young ladies in the city and have been courteous enough to allow them to invite their escorts. Thirty-sixth Annual Meeting of This Denomination. MANY DISTINGUISHED REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALABAMA, TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY IN ATTENDANCE AT ALL OF THE SESSIONS. Last Sunday night at the Howard Congregational Church the closing services of the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Tennessee Association of Congregational Churches and the eighteenth annual meeting of the Woman's Missionary Union were held. Many distinguished visitors from Kentucky, Alabama, East and West Tennessee were in attendance throughout the sessions. Important subjects were discussed throughout the week. Saturday and Sunday were busy days for this annual meeting. The program Saturday began at 9:30 a.m., and continued until noon, when recess was had. Sunday morning there was a model Sunday school, in which many distinguished divines were present. At 11 o'clock the usual services were held. An able sermon was delivered by The general session proved to be the most interesting during the day. It was conducted by the Woman's Missionary Union and opened promptly at 2:30 p. m. by song services. Scripture reading and prayer in the form of devotion, lead by Mrs. C. W. Morrow and Miss A. T. Ballantine, of Fisk University. The welcome address on behalf of the church was delivered by Mrs. James Bond, who is a tireless worker in all that pertains to the development of womanhood. She made one of those timely, entertaining speeches. An instrumental solo was rendered by Mrs. J. C. Napier. Letters of greeting from Congregational societies, missionaries and friends were read. Next came an interesting paper by Mrs. M. W. Jennings, of Memphis, Tenn., subject, "Missionary work in the cities." The trio by Miss Allen, Messrs. King and Merrill was indeed entertaining. A paper on "One need of our working woman," by Mrs. A. B. Carter, who is the Secretary of the Day Home, was a masterpiece. At this point the meeting was given over to the discussion of the needs of a Day Home. Mrs. Napier, the president of the Home, made an interesting talk, setting forth the absolute need of keeping such an institution alive. She said she believed God was with the plan. Mrs. J. G. Merrill, of Fisk University, read interesting letters from missionaries. An entertaining duet was rendered by Messrs. Boutte and Merrill, of Fisk. The President, Mrs. Geo. W. Moore, introduced the speaker for the evening in the person of Rev. J. C. Ryder, D. D., of New York City, N. Y. Dr. Ryder is secretary of the American Missionary Association and is making an extended tour through the South. He has visited La Moyne School at Memphis, Tougaloo University, at Tougaloo, Miss., the school at Jackson, Miss., and came here to attend the meeting of the Association and to visit Fisk University. Dr. Ryder is an entertaining speaker and although he spoke forty minutes, at no time did his audience tire of him. He stated that he had not been to Nashville since 1876. It was then that he was here at the invitation of the late Pres. Cravath. He had under consideration the acceptance of a professorship in Fisk. He sad that the battle was fiercely on as to whether he should take this position or go East. Dr. Ryder it was decided on the front porch state capitol. "So you can see," continued the speaker, "that that building on the hill has more than a passing significance." Two beautiful silver collection receptacles were presented to the church. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. Geo. W. Moore. The Missionary Society and the Missionary Union made the donation. Dr. Bond accepted them on behalf of the church. A collection was then lifted amounting to $10.69, which was given to the Day Home by the vote of the session. While the collection was being lifted, Mrs. Moore, who was with the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, sang "Swing "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. THERE WERE URGENT AND SPE CIFIC REASONS FOR CALLING TOGETHER THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR. After an absence of one week from the city, during which time he visited New York, Philadelphia and Washington, Mr. J. C. Napier, cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, returned Monday night. When called up over the 'phone by a Globe representative, Mr. Napier said he had a very successful and enjoyable trip. He is Tennessee's member of the executive committee of the Negro Business League and is ever on the alert for anything that will be of interest to Nashville as well as Tennessee business enterprises. It is learned from Mr. Napier and other sources that the Committee met in the city of New York in the rooms of the Colored Republican Club, No. 138 West 53d street, on Thursday, April 25 and 26. The members of the Committee present were T. Thomas Fortune, Chairman, New Jersey; Booker T. Washington, President, Ex-Officio, Alabama; Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Alabama; Gilbert C. Harris, Treasurer, Massachusetts; J. C. Jackson, Kentucky; J. C. Napier, Tennessee; S. E. Courtney, Massachusetts; M. M. Lewey, Florida; S. A. Furniss, Indiana; N. T. Velar, Pennsylvania, and Philip A. Payton, Jr., New York. Messrs. Fred R. Moore, National Organizer, New York, and C. F. Adams, Transportation Agent, Washington, D. C., met in Consultation with the Committee. The especial reason for holding the meeting of the Committee at this time was to devote an undivided season to a discussion of all matters affecting the future of the organization. The day sessions were held from three to six o'clock, and night sessions at 7:30. Dinner was served in the rooms of the Club by Caterer W. E. Gross. Reports as to their work were furnished by various officers of the organization. It was shown that 446 Local Negro Business Leagues are in existence. A larger proportion of them will be urged to secure charters from the national organization, more closely, in that way, to connect them with the national body. Hereafter, in the annual minutes of the proceedings of the National League, a complete roster of all local leagues with their officers will be printed. It has also been decided to recommend to the Topeka meeting that local leagues be required to pay into the national treasury $1.00 each per year. The League is a t present in a fairly satisfactory financial condition. It has been decided that all of the money that is paid into the League from life memberships at $25 each, shall hereafter be kept in a separate fund and invested. For the purpose of awakening interest in the coming meeting to be held in Topeka, Kan., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1907, the National Organizer, Mr. Fred R. Moore, will spend two and one-half months, beginning June 1st, in the states of Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territories in that section beyond the Mississippi River, where no session of the National Negro Business League has been held. Messrs. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, and J. E. Bush, of Arkansas, were selected to convey the fraternal greetings of the National Organizer to the annual meetings of the State Negro Business Leagues to be held respectively at Tallahassee, Fla., and Meridian, Miss., in June. The League's usefulness is apparent in all parts of the country, and more than ever the design will be to enlist the helpful sympathy and interest of low, sweet chariot," and "In bright mansions above" in the real jubilee air. It inspired the audience and they gave freely. A beautiful little cradle in the form of a collection basket was then brought to the collection table. Mrs. Moore announced that it was a gift to the Day Home by Mr. H. Allen Boyd. The officers of the ensuing year were announced as follows: President, Mr. Geo W. Moore, Nashville, Tenn.; Secretary, Mrs. N. J. Mars, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Treasurer, Mrs. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; Executive Committee; Mesdames P. R. Burus, J. G. Merrill and W. T. Morrow. The closing words in unison were then repeated by the congregation. They were taken from Micah 6:8. Sunday night at 7:45, Dr. J. C. Ryder preached an able sermon. Positively the largest crowd during the entire association was present. The doctor's sermon was instructive and entertaining. Many of the delegates present during the session of the Association spent Monday in sight seeing, visiting the different institutions and business enterprises. BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL BOARD Several weeks ago a call for a meeting of the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention was issued. This call was sent out by Rev M. W. Gilbert, the chairman of the board, with headquarters in New York City. Another statement has been made by Rev. Gilbert to the effect that the meeting will not be held in Nashville. The change was made necessary from the fact that the executive committee of the National Convention is to meet in Washington, D. C., and since many of the members of the educational board belong to the executive committee, it was decided to hold both meetings in Washington. For instance, Prof. W. L. Cansler, of this city, is a member of both the educational board and the executive committee. So in order to make the meetings convenient for such persons, Chairman Gilbert changed the call to Washington, D. C., for May 18. A. B. C. INVITATIONS. Invitations have reached Nashville from the senior class and faculty of the Atlanta Baptist College and Spelman Seminary for the commencement exercises which begin May 3, at 2:30 p. m., and end May 15, 10 a. m., in Atlanta, Ga. The class is an unusually large one. There are two Nashville boys in the class in the persons of Joe D. Avent and Clarence E. Allen. Atlanta Baptist College is one of the largest schools in the South. Connected with it, Spelman Seminary is the largest female school for Negroes in the United States. CLAIMED HE WAS ROBBED. There was quite a stir and excitement created about noon, Tuesday, April 30, on Jo Johnston, between Third and Fourth avenues, by the arrest of Mary Winchester at 317 at the instigation of Jim Smith, a country man. Smith claimed to have been robbed out of five dollars by the woman. He said he gave her $5 out of which she was to pay 25 cents for two dinners, but, he claims, she did not pay for the meals nor give him back his money. After repeated demands for his money, which met with as many refusals on the part of the woman, he told his troubles to a policeman, who promptly went to the house and made the arrest. The woman came as far as the stoop or small veranda with the officer, but getting there and seeing so many people watching the proceedings, she for a while obstinately refused to go farther. The officer caught hold of her and tried to force her to accompany him, but she dropped to the floor a dead weight that he could not handle, being a very large woman. After some parleying and some persuasion on the part of some of the inmates of the house who knew her, she finally went staggering off with the officer, for it was evident that she was under the influence of whiskey—that "fire water," that steals away the brain ere the imbiber is aware. From the antics played by other intimates of the Winchester woman, who had gone to give an account to Judge Baker for her fleeing game, all must have got some of the liquid delicacy which, it is said, was bought at the expense of Smith with his V. It is a little more than ordinarily singular that country men, after they have heard of city life, are so unsuspectingly susceptible to the sirenic blandishment of the spotted doves of city bagnios. ```markdown ``` SAVE $50 OR $100 ON A PURCHASE.

Mr. Phillip A. Payton, Jr., entertained the Executive Committee at a banquet given in its honor at his home. The board was also graced by the presence of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, New York City, and Hon. Harry W. Furniss, American Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Haytian Government. Had it not been for the presence of Mr. J. C. Napier at the executive committee meeting, the local business league, which from all outward appearance has been dormant since the last national meeting and which from past records only awakens annually, would not have been represented. The need of reviving the local league grows more apparent every day. The increasing number of business enterprises among the Negroes of Nashville creates this demand. There are men in Nashville ready and willing to lend their co-operation in reviving the organization. They are only awaiting the call. E. J. Connor, of Nashville, was here this week to attend the funeral of his niece, Mrs. Maud Guilmore. Mrs. Caroline Cowan is very ill. Miss Lillie Buchannon is teaching the Roseland School in the Sixth District. Mrs. Maria Sims died last week, age 62 years. Mr. Adam Cannon, of Chattanooga, is here to attend the funeral of his sister. Mr. Calvin Garrett is indisposed. Mrs. Johnnie Lue Sutton, of Chattanooga, will spend the summer with Mrs. Sallie and Albert McChristian. Mrs Wm. McEween lately received the sad news of the death of Mrs. Lucinda McGavock Pomette, who passed away Sunday, April 28. She was the mother of Mrs. Fannie Lawler, formerly Miss Fannie McGavock, of this city, who graduated from Melgs High School some years ago, and is now a teacher in the public school at Martin, Tenn. Mrs. Pomette was a devoted Christian woman and well loved by all who knew her. Her loss will be deeply felt not only in the community in which she lived, but in the city where she was well known and had many friends. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY. MAY 3. 1907. --- JUBILEE SINGERS IN PHILADEL PHIA. The recent death of Mrs. John H. Thrift, in London, England (formerly Miss Mattle Lawrence, of Washington, D. C.), serves to recall the early days of the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers. The campaign of endowment, started in 1870, to add to the funds of Fisk University, was alluded the country over, and thereby sent singers, who had enlisted world energy and time for this work, to be known by reputation everywhere. The newspapers of other places had endorsed the work and the skill of the singers to such an extent that wherever they appeared there was well nigh an ovation. In Philadelphia their interests were cared for by such widely-known and potential men like George H. Stuart, William H. Whilden, John Wanamaker and others. When they reached this city, in 1871, they found a positive spirit of philanthropic support, and at each concert the Academy of Music could have been twice its size and yet unable to meet the demands of those who desired to hear this little group of men and women dignify slave songs by artistic interpretation. Through the promoters the singers were guests of the Continental Hotel. That surely was an innovation, and although startling to some, there was a marked cordiality in their greeting. The guests in the hotel at the time got their cue from the many prominent callers, and even vied with them in the warmth of greeting. The Fisk contingent was self-possessed and refined and acted as though they had always been used to such things. Altogether it proved an awakening. They were entertained at the homes of our best citizens of both races, and it is remembered how hospitably they were received in the homes of William Still, Levi Cromwell, Thomas J. Bowers and Miss Annie Mills. The first group of singers comprised Misses Jackson, Shepperd, Porter, Malone and Tate, Messrs. Rutling and Holmes were the men of that group. Later on the entertainers were increased, and among them Frederick J. Lindin. Miss Matte Lawrence afterward joined the company, and the trips all over the United States and Canada proved so very remunerative that several were made to Europe. Miss Lawrence was not only a cultivated singer, but had a personality which won an audience wherever she appeared. Of course, we all know the value of Mr. Lindin's work, and his advent put them onto a plane higher than ever before attained. While abroad they were entertained by royalty, the nobility and great of every country. In fact, they were house guests of men and women whose favor but few Americans had secured. After hundreds of thousands of dollars had been secured to Fisk University, Fred J. Lindin organized another troupe on his own account and made prolonged concerts in America, Europe, Asia and Africa and the far insular places in the Western ocean. The scheme was not only unique, but its magnitude was just as great, and is without parallel in the animals of amusement undertakings anywhere. Indeed, the part played by Linden (a rare singer, indeed) stamps him as a Napoleon in the amusement field. Philadelphia was a prime factor from beginning to end in the matter of the Fisk Jubilee Singers.—Philadelphia Tribune. NEW FURNITURE PURCHASED. NEW FURNITURE PURCHASED. The Railway Protective Association through the untiring effort of Mr. Humphrey Bowling, Vice President, have recently purchased some fine furniture for the Association in the way of chairs, mirrors, swings, book cases and many other articles, which will make the Association rooms attractive. It is the intention of the Association to make it pleasant for all who wish to visit the place from time to time. Pains and expenses will not prevent this from being a place where none will be ashamed nor afraid to enter, as the best order, at all times, is kept. A welcome is extended to the public. Dr. T. J. Townsend made a flying trip to Chattanooga last week on business and to see relatives. Hon. E. A. Best, ex-State Senator and prominent lawyer from Franklin County, was one of our audience Sunday night. He is a staunch friend of the pastor. The R. W. U. entertainment on the The R. W. U. Alumni entertainment on the 29th was a grand success. The ladies of the "Be Quick Club" will give a rousing 7-cent entertainment Monday night, May 6. Come, everybody. Dr. Townsend is preaching a series of sermons on "The Wedding Ring" each Thursday night. Subject May 2nd. "Choice of a Husband." The Juvenile Clu band Choral Class are making themselves felt in our circles. Encourage them. The "Triumvirate" from Memphis, Searcy, McMichael and Fuller, will be in Nashville Sunday, May 20, to the pastor's installation.* MISS BROOKS VICTIM OF PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Miss Laura Brooks, of 504 Fourteenth avenue, North, was the victim of a painful accident last Saturday afternoon between three and four o'clock. Miss Brooks is employed by the Clarion Printing Company, at 601 Second avenue, North, where she has worked for about two years as a composer and press feeder. Last Saturday she was feeding one of the job presses, when one of the sheets fell through on the floor, and in reaching to pick it up her sleeve was caught in the cogs of the wheels. Before she could stop the press or call any one to her aid the sleeve had wrapped around the wheel which forced her arm into the cogs. The arm was badly lacerated. As quick as it was known what had happened one of the young men sprang to her aid. The press was stopped instantly and Miss Brook's arm was extricated. She was suffering great pain. The muscles of her left arm were torn to shreaks, and the blood was streaming from the wound. The expression on the unfortunate girl's face showed that she was suffering great agony. She was assisted to a chair and a physician was called. Harris, a white doctor, was the nearest at hand and he came and did the best he could. He did not have the necessary material to render first-class service, but what he did relieved the suffering temporarily. Dr. R. F. Boyd was soon on the scene, but Miss Brooks was so weak he would not attempt to dress her arm at that time. A hack was called and the young lady was taken to her home on Fourteenth avenue, North. As soon as Miss Brooks had sufficiently regained her strength, Dr. Boyd made an examination and discovered that it would be necessary to remove all the stitches. This he did and dressed the arm. He also discovered that a bone had been fractured, but not such as would cause the limb to be stiff after healing. Miss Brooks is resting quietly at her home, and is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. CONSTITUTION. Florida is now a running mate for South Carolina. The latter passed the first ordinance of secession and the former has recently passed the first law of defiance to the Constitution of the United States. The state, through its legislature, embodies in the form of a law the declaration that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of the national constitution are inoperative and therefore null and void. This is folly with a vengeance; this is extremism; this is anarchism of the rankest sort; it is the puny attempt of one of the states to blow the ashes from the smoldering embers of a question long since settled—the question of State Sovereignty or the right of a state to put at naught the great organic instrument—the constitution. It is very unfortunate for one of the states to so far forget itself as to go to such an extremity. It forgets that its very existence is predicated upon those amendments as a part of the foundation upon which rests the entire North American Republic. Before Florida could be re-elected into a state government, her people in convention assembled had to draft and formulate a constitution which would not conflict with the Constitution of the United States and the acceptance of these amendments was one of the specific conditions required of every seceded state before its readmission into the Union. Each seceded state had to so express itself in its constitution in clear, plain, unequivocal language which would not admit of any other construction that it accepted the Constitution of the United States with its amendments as the national law. Florida was no exception to the others which had to declare their allegiance to these amendments are they were rehabilitated. Her recent act places her in a contradictory light to her re-admission declaration, which declaration is to-day a part of her own constitution. If it is not in her fundamental law she is neither state nor territory, but an unorganized lay of land. There is no going back of the fact that every state constitution must be in consonance with the national constitution. To allow the states to continue to make encroachments upon the national document by lopping off a piece here and there to effect their policy toward the Negro, is nursing a danger. Finally the Thirteenth Amendment will be swept away by this lopping process and what has occurred—ten million people re-enslaved? What is the matter with Florida? Nothing but the ghosts of its old Spanish cruelty and oppression of slavery reincarnated. Only this and nothing more. She wants to see slaves once more in her orange groves. Poor old Florida, the unhappy land of flowers! Miss Queenie Arnold is a substitute teacher this week at Meig's School. Mr. P. H. Benson, of 1615 Hamilton street, who for the past eight months has been principal of the school at Hampton station, about seven miles from Clarksville, arrived in town last Sunday night, and will spend his vacation in Nashville and vicinity.

It looks to those who have seen Ernest Howell that in all probability he will never recover. The man is from Alabama and is now confined in the jail under sentence of death. His condition appears critical, as he is apparently in the last stages of consumption, and in the opinion of those who understand the disease, he will never reach the scaffold. Howell was found guilty of the murder of Mr. Charles Rowland, the old carpenter whose body was found some months ago in the outskirts of the city, near the Glendale car route, a full account of the affair being published in The Globe at the time. It was reported that his conviction was brought about through the confession he made at the time of his arrest. Howell is under indictment for the perpetration of other crimes. He is accused of committing an assault on a South Nashville man. Before coming to this city he was arrested in Alabama on a charge of attempted assault, but broke jail and made his escape. Had he been apprehended, beyond a doubt he would have been taken charge of by a mob of "best citizens," and executed without trial by judge or jury. Howell is a young man, probably about 25 years of age. In case he pulls through, as it looks now, there is a chance that he will get his case reversed before the Supreme Court. His attorneys, Messrs. Mayfield and Ewing, are working hard in the prisoner's behalf. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The Pearl Washintgonians met more than their match in the baseball game last Saturday on Fisk Campus. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, the score board read: Fisk 18, Pearl 5. Many reasons were assigned for such an inglorious defeat and the game has been played over again in conversation and discussion in the school yard. The High School faculty have advised the boys to take their medicine like heroes, to quit offering excuses and to quit criticising those who made errors, and to work the harder for victory next time. The High School team has been challenged for a game by the Turner Normal and Industrial boys of Shelbyville, Tenn. If arrangements are perfected, quite a crowd will accompany the team to the capital city of Bedford County. Quite a radical change will take place on the first floor of Pearl School during the summer. Your reporter has it from good authority that a partition will be run through the hall, dividing it into two unequal parts. The larger part will be used as a hall for the seventh and eighth grade pupils from all over the city. The smaller part will be used to enlarge the two recitation rooms in the rear, which will be converted into working rooms for the Manual Training Department. Pearl High School will then be the manual training center for Negro children. All the high grades will be centered here. This will of necessity cause an almost complete change in the teaching force of the first floor, as it now stands. Primary teachers and primary children must be provided for elsewhere. The two new Negro schools with proper transfers will in all probability take care of both. Something of a "breeze" was stirred up among certain elements of the teaching fraternity last week, because their names were not given as deserving special mention for meritorious work. The Globe man's scalp was in danger. Your reporter has tried to be just and has recorded his opinion without fear or favor. It gives him pleasure now to say that the work exhibited this week showed greater excellence than any previous week; but among all the excellent specimens, those of Miss Lizzie Fox took the premium. She appears to have splendid talent along the line of basket-making. Mr. J. E. Miller was a very close second. Next week the ladies will take up sewing and the men mechanical drawing. Mr. F. G. Smith, the principal, made a flying trip to Winchester, Tenn., last Saturday, where he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Trigg. Mrs. Trigg was formerly a member of Pearl High School and Prof. Smith reports that he was royally entertained by his former pupil. WALDEN COMMENCEMENT.

COLUMBIA NOTES. Household of Ruth No. 95, G. U. O. of O. F., gave an old-fashioned festival (supper) April 26 for the benefit of the Odd Fellows hall, which is in course of erection. It was a financial success. Drs. Voorhees and Lynch have a branch office here and are prepared to serve the people of Columbia with all kinds of dental work. The Shelbyville baseball team played the "Columbia Cubs" at Riverside Park Thursday and Friday, April 25 and 26. The Cubs were defeated. Prof. Graham, the new county Superintendent of public schools, met with the county teachers Saturday, April 27. A very interesting meeting was had. June 15 is the date set for the election of teachers. Mrs. Mary McCarrell Patton died April 23 at the home of her mother, on East Tenth street. She had made Chicago her home since her marriage three years ago, and was visiting her mother at the time of her death. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Pointer are the proud parents of a fine boy. Mrs. Fannie Blair is at home, having closed her school at Kindyhook. Prof. J. W. Johnson, principal of the school at Martin West Tennessee, has closed his school and is at home for an indefinite stay. Mr. W. D. Kelly attended the closing exercises of the Campbellsville school, of which Miss Ella Hunt is teacher. McMINNVILLE NOTES. The first Baptist Church, under the management of its energetic young pastor, Rev. G. T. Speaks, closed a very successful rally on Sunday night, in which they raised the sum of $80. Interesting programs were rendered on Thursday and Friday nights and on Saturday night a reception was given in honor of the pastors of the city. Sunday afternoon Rev. Trawick, pastor of the M. E. Church, South, delivered an able address to a large audience, his subject being "The Hereafter." Rev. Wilhite, of Alabama, has been in the city for several days attending the rally of the Baptist church. Mrs. Cora Crochett, of Nashville, is here for a few weeks, teaching a large class in millinery. Mr. and Mrs. Firman Rivers, of Eastland, have been visiting relatives here during the past week. Miss Edna Grace Brown is suffering from a severe attack of tonsilitis. The second quarterly meeting was held at Clark Chapel M. E. Church Sunday, Rev. W. R. Smith, presiding elder, delivered able sermons at morning and evening services. Miss Adele Johnson, who was ill for a few days last week, is well again. SHELBYVILLE NOTES: Everything is in a stir about now, looking forward to the commencement at Turner Normal Institute. May THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907 30. The Turner Normal baseball team has just returned from a trip to Columbia, where they engaged the Columbia boys in a two days' contest. Victory for Turner Normal. Our boys are now champing their bits for a game with a certain Nashville team. The Turner Normal institutes have won in every contest, our season. Mrs. J. A. Jones is spending a few days at her home, 922 Morrison street, Nashville. Prof. F. G. Smith paid our town a visit recently, the guest of Dr. J. A. Jones. His visit was in the interest of the colored department of the Jamestown Exposition. Mrs. M. E. Davis, instructor in Turner College, spent a few days in Nashville last week. Rev. Mr. Thompson, the new pastor of the M. E. Church, has arrived and entered upon his work. He succeeds Rev. H. H. Hinton, who was recently transferred to the Ohio Conference. Mrs. H. L. P. Jones, of Pulaski, was a visitor to our town last week. It is reported that work will commence in the near future on the new building of the Turner Normal Institute. Dr. Jones the president, expresses hope that the next session will open in the new building on the beautiful campus. SAME OLD SKELETON IN THE CLOSET. One Gustaf Westfeldt, a member of the Board of Administrators of Tulane University, New Orleans, La., writes to the British Ambassador at Washington, D. C., attempting to show that the awarding of the Cecil Rhodes' scholarships to Negroes will make the scholarships unpopular in the South. There was a time when the white man of the South said that the Negro was incapable of mastering the higher branches of learning, but the masterful achievements of the Negro in every department of human knowledge has made him reverse this position with reference to that old tale entirely. He no longer says the Negro cannot win his way in every form of mental effort. It is now a seriously debated question with him whether he can outstrip the Negro at all intellectually. The thoughts of it are a bitter pill for the white man to swallow, especially when he remembers all of his boasting of his superiority. The winning of one of the Cecil Rhodes scholarships by Mr. Alian LeRoy Locke, of Philadelphia, Pa., was due to his superior and scholarly attainments. The awarding of the prize was the work of white men, who most certainly did not do so out of any motive of favoritism. The young man passed through the crucible of a competitive examination, and came out with his colors flying. He was not only a successful competitor, but stood second to none in the test. Mr. Locke is a Harvard man who has done the remarkable thing of making a four-year course in three years. He is young and brilliant, with a remarkable capacity for intellectual effort. He succeeded in getting one of the Rhodes prizes on his merits and merits alone. Now to hear this little New Orleans man begging the Britisher to deprive the young man of his well-won prize is pitiable indeed. He deserves commiseration; for, like the drowning man, he is catching at a straw. Gustaf Westfeldt is a name that shows that its possessor is either a foreigner or of foreign extraction, and that class is the worst set in the world, for it wishes to keep in with the native American so as to divert his suspicion from itself. Gus has found out since he has been in this country to fight the Negro is a winning card for a foreigner, so he seizes this Rhodes scholarship business to make his grandstand play to the South, which will have to be saved from the anarchy of the Westfeldt type by the prowess of the ever true, loyal and patriotic Negro. MURFREESBORO NOTES. Mr. Joe Robertson and Miss Eliza J. Bell were united in holy wedlock on Wednesday night, April 24, at the church near Murfressboro. The reception was at the home of the bride's parents. A host of friends from Murfreesboro were present. Rev. Neal Crutcher performed the ceremony. Many handsome presents were received. The newly-wedded couple will make their future home in Nashville. EBENEZER NOTES. The revival which was started last Sunday after a week of prayer, has resulted in a rich harvest. Rev. Dr. Flagg, preached on Tuesday night. His sermon has followed the people ever since. His text was Psalm 119: 59: "I thought on my way, and turned my feet to thy testimonies." Mr. Robert Bender, the oldest member of Ebenezer Church, is very sick at his home. Miss Jennie Rideout spent Sunday with her mother.

Ray Stannard Baker, a northern ‘writer who has gained quite a reputa- tion for his work in dealing with eco- nomic questions, and whose articles on political questions and public men ‘have caused him to be classed with the “muck-rakers,” has been in the South for several months investigating, first hand, the so-called “Negro Prob- Jem.” The series of articles which he is writing is running in the American Magazine under the caption “Follow- ing the Color Line.” Because of the evident purpose to place impartially before the reader the views of all par- ties concerned in the problem and the fearlessness with which he points out alike the good and the bad in both races, the articles are attracting wide- ‘spread attention. The first article in the series, that of April, is devoted to the Atlanta massacre. Mr. Baker arrived in At- danta six weeks after the bloody work ‘of the hoodlums had blotted the good reputation of Georgia's fairest city. He describes at length the causes lead- ing up to the terrible tragedy. He pictures with all its horrors, the work of the rapist, the inflamed passions of ‘the populace, and the diabolical work of the now dead Atlanta News, which chronicled the appearance of a Negro on the street near the window of an old woman as an attempt at rape. The ‘killing of innocent, respectable Ne- groes, the unwarranted attack upon ‘Brownsville, a settlement occupied by people who are law-abiding, hard-work- ing and home owners, the indignities heaped upon President Bowen, of the ‘Gammon Theological Seminary, and other work of the mob are told with an eye single to developing the truth. The investigation of this Northern writer explodes the claim of former ‘Governor Jelks, of Alabama, which has been quoted with approval by President Roosevelt in his essay on the Negro Problem disguised as a Message to Congress, that Negroes harbor their criminals, Mr. Baker found that in the Atlanta cases where men were arrested for those dastardly crimes committed in Fulton county the arrests were made upon informa tion furnished by Negroes, The aft: ermath of the massacre, in which the better class of whites took control of the city and called into their council the better class of Negroes and brought ‘order out of chaos, and how each race has worked for a better understanding since, is sympathetically described. In the May number, the “jim crow" ‘car, the “no Negro allowed” parks, “this car for colored passengers, freight, express and packages,” ele vators, the awakening consciousness of the Negro and other manifestations of ‘the color line are treated, The advancement of the Negroes of At THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907. lanta in business receives a deal of attention. Regarding the Negro as a business man and the ignorance of most of the Southerners as to what we are doing he writes as follows: “Most Southern men I met had little or no idea of the remarkable extent of this advancement among the better class of Negroes. Here is a strange thing. I don’t know how many Southern men have prefaced their talks with me with words something like this: ‘You can’t expect to know the Negro after a short visit. You must live down here like we do. Now, I know the Negroes like a book: I was brought up with them. I know what they will do and what they won't do. I have had Negroes in my house all my life? “But curiously enough I found that these men rarely knew anything about ‘the better class of Negroes—those who were in business, or in independent oc- cupations, those who owned their own homes. They did come in contact with the servant Negro, the field hand, the common laborer; who make up, of course, the great mass of the race. On the other hand, the best class of Ne- grocs did not know the higher class of white people, and based their suspi- cions and hatred upon the acts of the poorer sort of whites with whom they naturally cate in contact. The best elements of the two races are as far apart as though they lived in differ- ent continents; and that is one of the chief causes of danger in the South- ern situation.” In ¢oncluding his article in the May number, Mr. Baker refers to the de- sire of many of the Southerners for “the faithful, simple, ignorant, obedi. ent, cheerful, old plantation darkey. They want the New South, but the old darkey. That darkey is disappearing forever along with the old feudalism and the old time exclusively agricul tural life. A new Negro is not less in- evitable than a new white man and a New South, And the new Negro, as my clever friend says, doesn’t laugh as much as the old one. It is grim business he is in, this being free, this new, fierce struggle in open competi; tive field for the daily loaf. Many go down to vagrancy and crime in that struggle; a few will rise. The more rapid the progress (with trained white men setting the pace) the mor frightful the mortality.” Mr, Baker's article is refreshing We have been glutted so long with theorists who write upon the race question without knowing anything about it that we welcome this deter mination to show the Negro of th South as he is. The articles should be read by every man in the South. THE CALL FOR YOUNG MEN. Why is it that so few of the young men who, after spending years in ‘school, go into business or make any ‘attempt to be anything other than flunkies where they can dress in the latest togs and wear clean shirts? We would not discourage honest labor in any field, but Nashville and all the cities of the South offer great oppor- tunities to the young men of our race. No branch of business dealing with the necessities of life is crowded by the members of our race. The nearest approach to such a condition is in the grocery line, and in this branch there is room for clean, up to date stores, The Negro man must Rave his shoes, his hats, his outer and under clothing. The same is true of our women. Why don't some of our young men make a study of the matter and supply these wants? Why don’t they go into the business that their fathers, unedu- cated as they are, have established and introduce modern methods where needed and compete for the trade of the city? . ‘The Negro as a rule wants to trade with his own race. The condescend- ing attitude of the clerks in some of the stores run by white men, the ap- parent indifference to the likes or dis- likes of their colored patrons by some of the white merchants, make shop- ping a burden now that is only toler- ated by self-respecting men because there are no stores run by Negroes. A young man with the right ideas backed by sobriety and no desire to play the races—a common fault with the young men ‘who enter business—can succeed in most any Vine he attempts here in the South. One of the fundamental principles 80° often overlooked by those of our race who would suffeed is the fail- ure to meet compefftion and the cred- it system, The Negro is poor and when he must pay-for work he natu- rally seeks. cheapest place, It is too often ay that the business men of our race \fail to realize this. To illustrate, the Negro shoemaker, as a rule, charges the same or more for tacking on a half sole that the white shops charge for sewing the same work, It does not take an expert to tell which class of work is the more pleasing to the customer and the veri: est greenhorn can tell that unless the colored shoemaker can meet the com: petition by putting in a modera ma chine he will soon lose out as a factor in the shoe mending business. The field is ripe for Negro business enterprises, and the demand, is great for young men who will take as their motto: “Work or stock, as good as the best, prices as cheap as the cheap est, patronize your own race.” * Evans and Brownlow claim to be in harmony on the third term for Roose- velt. Where does the Negro yoter of Tennessee stand? It is time that he is making himself felt. The powers that be have ordained eighteen months be- fore the election, and about one year previous to the state convention, who will be the delegates from the state at large, and the list does not con- tain the name of a Negro. It is time for those who are interested in poll: ties and believe that the Negro should ‘be fairly represented in the party ma chinery as Well as in the appointive of fices, to awake up. Our politicians should fight less for the bosses and ‘more for the race. Booker Washington continues in his triumphant course. Two of his star performances for 1907 are the capture of the Washington Bee and the Chica- go Conservator, erstwhile opponents of the great educator. When Rditor Chase, of the Bee, surrendered, Hadi: tor Wilkins hinted at a monetary con- sideration, Now that the latter has capitulated, struck his colors and jumped into the band wagon, we would like to know (either privately or publicly) how much he received. Florida is trying to repeal the four. teenth and fifteenth amendments by joint resolution. The legislature’ is simply following the Quixotic lead out lined by Governor Broward in his bi ennial message. The next thing we know that state will try to repeal Roosevelt's “door of hope” policy. Ray Stannard Baker says that most of the Negro groceries of Atlanta are filthy and do not compare very favor- ably with those run by “Dagoes.” The same criticism will apply with equal force to some of our groceries in this city, Clean up. ace NEGRO DIRECTOR FOR WHITE OPERA HOUSE. Mr, W. A. Calhoun, a colored musl- cian of this city (Chattanooga, Tenn.), was recently appointed permanent musical director at the new Opera House here. This comes as a fitting climax to a series of his successes here, he having appeared on a pro- gram at Olympia and in plano recital twice at the white Y, M. C. A. He has also appeared over a dozem times at the German Ratskeller, where the elite ‘of the white musicians assembled to Bla to his renditions of the classics. ‘This kind of work is a great help to the race in this section.—Chattanooga Herald. | ~ | TAYLOR A POLLICEMAN NOW. But in 1904 He Ran for President Against Roosevelt. Des Moines, Ia., April 20.—From candidate for President to policeman is the transition which fate has wrought in the life of George B. Tay- lor, And what is more, Taylor has a post in the toughest part of his home town, Ottumwa, at night. Taylor is a Negro, He began life by selling papers. He finally saved enough money to educate himself in the public schools, Several years ago he located in Os- daily paper. Later he moved to La. crosse, Wis., and established a news- paper there. He went into politics, received an appointment, and when the Administration changed, Taylor lost his job and came back to Iowa. When the National Liberty Party was formed, Taylor, who had already won prominence among the Negroes, was one of the leaders, and at the con- yention in St, Louis in 1904 he was nominated for President of the United States. He received about 15,000 votes over the country.—New York Sun, THE JAMAICA AFFAIR. Since the resignation of Gov. Swet- tenham, of Jamaica, the daily press. has not been agitating or airing the little disturbance that occurred some time ago. A Globe representative read ‘a large batch of papers sent over by a Jamaica friend some weeks ago, but found that in gleaning its pages, the Jamaica press was practically silent on the matter, but some Jamaicans who have lived in this country and who have traveled in other parts of the world, have been candid enough to give their opinion. Not, however, in a denunciatory way either to the gov- ernor or to the gallant American ad- miral, but simply in a way that puts new light on the affair, A long ar- ticle appeared in the Gleaner of March 8, under the caption of “Our Next Gov- ernor.” This editorial deseribed Mr. Oliver, who has been selected as next governor of the island of Jamaica, and who is known by the residents on ‘the island, having filled minor post ‘tions before going back to his native land. A part of a letter just received is possibly interesting because it comes from a native of the island. In speak- ing of the affair, he said: “As stated in @ previous letter to you I did not then feel and neither do I now feel justified in passing an opinion as to the merits or demerits of the case; as my brother seems to have passed over the matter lightly, I have no more au- thentie report other than that culled from newspaper sources. There is no doubt but that the Bnglish people are slow, and especially does it seem so in an affair of the kind that caused the discussion--when every hour that passes seems much longer than a day under ordinary circumstances. But be that as it may, all nations have their virtues and their faults, and for tayself, personally, I would sooner ac- cept the slowness of the English ac- companied by their fairer methods in preference to a full basket with’ the “big stick’ menacing it; for under such circumstances one could scarcely en. joy the bounteous meal offered, not knowing but that just after filling and feeling as good as one that was liun. gry will feel after a hearty..and, sump- tuous meal, the kindly ‘big stick’ may fall down (accidently?) and crush your vitals out. I much prefer English to American rule—but that is not saying much in favor of the English, as I would prefer to be as far away from either as the North from the South. There are only two ways of subduing any human being no matter whet his nationality may be. The first way is by winning him heart and soul by genuine kindness ‘and whole-souled Christianity. The other by breaking his spirit. The former is much the easier course to pursue and the one I should adopt if I wished to subject any one. The latter meth od has proven time and again to be an impossibility: one’s spirit may get dormant from cruel usage, but to en tirely kill it, you will first have to stamp the life out of the body, for sc long as there is life there is that in domitable spirit, which 1s the greatest gift (when judicially used) that the great Creator ever placed in mankind Without it we would not be worth ‘shucks.’ For pecuniary profit there is nothing too low to which the Anglo Saxon will not stoop, grabbing the ill begotten gains in one hand while the other is labelled, ‘I stoop to conquer. This is very applicable to Americans though I will admit that there are some grand exceptions,” The letter in part is reproduced be cause of the fact ‘that the writer ha: been for the past ten years a close ob server of the American in all of hii life. He has lived among them a: well as among the Englishmen, hi: own people. He now resides in th city of Mexico. bce WILL THEY WALK THE PLANK? Southern white newspapers are making much ado, ‘about nothing. They are fretting and frothing, whin- ing and making faces because Hon. Ralph Tyler, of Ohio, was given an honorable position by the administra tion. He is head of the auditing de- partment of the Navy, where a large percentage of the employees aré from the South. Southern papers have been chuck-full of impotent, rambling and spiteful editorials and articles, at tempting to scare the administration or create a stampede among the white employees in the department over which Mr. Tyler will be chief. The administration took no backward step; it would not take any note of the hue and cry of the calamity whoopers and it remains to be seen whether those who hold lucrative po- sitions will retain them by taking or. ders from Mr. Tyler or whether they will “walk the plank.” In these strenuous times when good jobs do not have to go a-begging, it is not likely that there will be much walking of the plank. It might be suggested that there need be no fright, as Mr, Tyler is an accomplished gentleman, wholly capa- ble of taking care of the department under his direction, or the authorities would not haye considered him in con- nection with the appointment. It may be predicted that he will deport him- self as a gentleman, as he is, and will also take efficient and eminent care of the destinies of his department, De- spite what Ben Tillman said recently at Pittsburg, Pa. that Booker T. ‘Washington was only one Negro in ten million, there are hundreds of able men and women doing their share of the work for the uplift of the race asearnestly, as faithfully and as grandly as Mr. Washington, and thie is not said in any sense of disparage- ment of this great man’s work. Till- man said Mr, Washington is a refuge for the Negroes; the inference of his intention being to discredit other great members of the race who are doing forceful things and, therefore, the possibilities of the race, by ex- tolling Mr. Washington. Everybody knows Ben Tillman; he trapes about the country with a wallet on hie back in which he carries scarecrows made of Negro domination and other like rot, scattering them right and left with a free hand; yet Bennie says the Negroes have but one man in all their number, He makes pretengton of ignoring such capable men as Mr. Tyler. Oh, how inconsistent is Ben Tillman in his process of reasoning!' If the Negroes are of no consequerace end have but one real great man among their number, why then does he take up the major part of his time |going about the country spewing out his dirty tirades against the race? Such efficient men as Mr. Tyler, ever ready when the time comes to take their places in the affairs of men, will ever be giving nightmares to such men as Ben Tillman. It is this pre- paredness that is worrying him and those like him, who declare the Ne- gro is doing nothing, yet believe just the reverse of their hollow .preach- ments. The Negro has put his hand to the plow and he will not look back. He is determined to develop all of his powers of mind, morals and body. The making of the best of himself is a duty he owes to himself, owes to his children, owes to society and owes to posterity. First, he should be pre- pared to do his share of life's work creditably; secondly, he should pre- pare his children to take,up his un- finished tasks where he leaves off; thirdly, as a member of society he should contribute to its betterment and welfare, and fourthly, the story of his life should be an incentive to posterity. Mr. ‘Tyler's readiness to take the tide of fortune at its flooding empha- sizes the fact that it pays to be ready to fill your place acceptably in the af- faire of men, matter not who takes of- fense at your worthiness and “walks the plank.” THE CARNATION CLUB.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907 JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES. One of the most remarkable exhibits to be installed in the Negro Department is a friction-heater, of which Mr. C. S. L. Baker of Kansas, is the inventor and patentee. In this wonderful machine, Mr. Baker has managed to multiply seven times over the average efficiency of electricity, producing heat by the friction process and has secured results almost unbelievable. He can, with his invention, heat a railway passenger coach without using an ounce of fuel, obtaining the motive power necessary to run his friction heater from the revolutions of the axle of the trucks beneath the coach; he can go into a new building, when probably $6,000 worth of steam-pipes would ordinarily be required, and heat the structure satisfactorily by using only 80 feet of piping. He will operate a coffee stand at the exposition, where he will serve coffee made by his friction-heater. Mr. Baker's unique machine bids fair to revolutionize existing methods of securing heat for public and private purposes. Doctor Booker T. Washington, the noted educator, has made public a statement endorsing the Negro Exhibit, and declaring himself as heartily in sympathy with the effort of Chairman Thomas J. Calloway and his energetic assistants to place before the world a concrete demonstration of the Negro's achievements in the many fields of human endeavor. He bespeaks for the enterprise the greatest success, and says it will be a serious mistake if our people fail to put forth their highest and best efforts to make it all that it should be. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, director of the musical exhibit, will have as a feature of his collection, a list of the music teachers of the country, together with the branches of music taught, number of pupils and other data showing the extent of the development and aspiration of the Negro in the musical arena. Exhibits are coming in at a lively rate, and the success of the exhibit is no longer in doubt. The display will, in all respects, reflect the highest degree of credit upon the Negro people. Three new hotels for the accommodation of colored visitors are in course of construction, and will be ready by the time the rush comes on. An elegantly equipped steamboat, operated by a colored corporation, will ply between Norfolk and the exposition grounds. *** The General Convention of the Baptists of North America, with white and colored delegates; the second visit of President Roosevelt on "Georgia Day" in June, the conference of the newspaper fraternity July 4, the Inter-Denominational Congress of Religions the third week in August, National Medical Association Day, August 30, and Masonic Day, September 24, are a few of the special occasions in sight, that will be of particular interest to Afro-American visitors. COLDS-CONSUMPTION. The old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine," contains more truth than poetry. If a cold is not broken up within two or three days at most, it will run about two weeks in spite of all known remedies. Take note, then, of the very first symptoms, and apply the proper remedies at once and your chances are as good to break up the cold as it is possible to make them. Avoid exposure again for a day or two, if possible, and you will be safe (until the next change of weather occurs). When you get chilly all over and begin to sniffle and almost struggle for breath, just begin at once and your tribulations need not last very long; but if these slight colds are neglected they soon take the form of a deep seated cold and the next stage is liable to be that ever present foe to the human family. Consumption. No other word in the language stands for as much suffering, misery and despair. It is the spectre over the rooftree whose greed for human life is never satisfied. Its field is the world and its victim the dwellers therein, and yet we open wide the doors, windows and every possible opening and invite consumption to be our guest; we insist on his remaining with us and no amount of persuasion will induce us to drive him from our midst. After he once crosses the threshold he stubbornly resists all efforts to eject him, but by summoning an officer named "common sense," he readily apologizes and promptly makes his exit. Watch as well as pray, for he will return on the first opportunity. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure;" one ounce is really worth ten pounds in this case. If we form a vigilance committee and perform our work diligently we will succeed in routing the enemy. Of all the diseases man is subject to, Consumption is the most deceptive. To such an extent is this true that even those who are of consumptive families and have the taint in their blood, do not suspect its earliest approaches, which are so like the little coughs and colds that have frequently come and gone SOCIETY BADGES --- They are made of the best satin ribbon, stamped with pure gold leaf and trimmed with imported gold bullion fringe.

Fall colds, winter colds, spring colds, summer colds, all are dangerous, especially those of the year 1907. The Spring of this year (1907) is quite different from what we anticipated. The germs of consumption work while you wait, and laugh because some one suggests you are going into consumption. Delays are dangerous; when coughs and colds warn you, then act quick. Shooting pains in the breast mean lung trouble. Some do not cough—they simply weaken and lose flesh day by day until the destroyer gets a foothold. A CONVALESCENT. (To be continued.) CLARKSVILLE NOTES. The item concerning the Home Infirmary and Hospital of this city, in last week's issue has caused widespread discussion in several cities about the size of Clarksville, where there are colored physicians and business men. Numerous inquiries have been received by the management, and encouragement offered. Dr. Burt, the managing physician, has been very busy mailing photos and prospectus to the colored physicians throughout the country. Dr. Burt expects to have Hon. Wm. T. Vernon, Register of U. S. Treasury, to be the principal attraction at the dedication. The excitement over the charter question has abated and Clarksville has settled down to its accustomed habits. A new lease of life is given to the present administration for some time, and then comes the passing of the old. Whether colored electors will be equal to the occasion, remains to be seen. For several weeks and at the different churches interesting revivals have been held by the Ministerial Alliance. This week Wesley Chapel C. M. E. Church will be the scene of renewed energy on the part of the Alliance, with Rev. Wm. Underwood officiating. Large and increased attendance is noted and much good will be the outcome. Mr. Hiram Johnson's beautiful residence on Eleventh street was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon. Most of his household goods were saved. The losses are covered by insurance.

The Clarksville District Ministerial Council closed a very interesting ses- sion at Cumberland City, Tenn., last week. Rev. W. Conway Smith, Presiding Elder and Chairman of the District, who has been confined to his room for the past four months, was able to pre- side over the council. All the minis- ters were present except Revs. T. A. Wilson, H. B, Rucker N, A. Trice and Wm. Douglass, The council levied a special mis- sion tax upon the churches of the district, which amounted to $112, to be reported at the District Conference, which will be held at Springfield, Tenn., July 24-28. There was quite a spiritual wave during the council. Two persons professed a hope in Christ. Rey. P. J, Coleman, A. M., and B, J. Jones did the preaching. Elder Smith delivered quite a time- ly lecture to the’ council. The Dis- trict seems to have taken on new life. Elder Smith left Cumberland city for Crossplain C. M. E.

It is not death to die, To leave this weary road, And ‘mid the brotherhood on high, To be at home with God. It is not death to close | ‘The eye long dimmed by tears, | And wake in glorious repose, , To spend eternal years. Tt is not death to bear The wrench that sets us free From dungeon chain to breathe the air Of boundless liberty. My brothers and sisters, these senti- ments should console every bereaved heart, and especially when one thinks of a beautiful life and noble charac- ter, a life so beautifully spent. A character so spotless as was Sister Mattie P. Haddox in whose memory this paper is written, Thinking of her it is indeed a consolation if our faith is sufficient for us to say witb the poet, “It is not death to die.” Sister Mattie P. Maddox became a member of Household of Ruth 82, Department of the Grand U. O, of O. F. in this city twenty-nine years ago and member of the Joint Hall Association three years ago. The record shows her to have been a faithful and con- sistent member in both departments; she was conscientious and tireless in ‘the performance of every duty which she was called on to perform. As a member of the Hall Association she was ever vigilant, taking advantage of every opportunity to aid the Asso- ciation in the furtherance of its great work. Her life was a living {llustra- tion of the time and honored prinei- ples of our noble Order—Friendship, Love and Truth. Sister Haddox, like Ruth of old, was constantly laboring for others. She built for herself a monument more lasting than gold. Her beautiful char- acter will ever be fresh in our minds and as long as memory retains its force among us, we will cherish the name of Sister Mattie P, Haddox in our minds and in our hearts. She died in the full triumphs of Chris: tian faith and with the honors of a true Ruth sister. Away back from time memorial it has been the habit of men to do honor to their departed dead and especially to those who represented some collec: tive interest involving a number of ‘members like our noble Order and the ‘Hall Association. Long as we live ‘may we all continue to do honor to Sister Mattie P, Haddox’s blessed memory, and when our career comes to a close in this present world, may our lot be the same as was our be loved sister's, and, coming to the end of life, may we, like she, leave a use ful life and enter a joyous eternity. J. W. LEE. EMMA ALFORD, rey AT FORTRESS MONROE, VA. Information has been received that Mr.C. B. Ruddick, of the pharmaceuti- cal class of 1907 at the Meharry Med- ical College, is for the present at For- tress Monroe, Va. He will in all prob- ability remain there during this year. His plans have not as yet matured as to where he will locate. Mr. Ruddick expressed some time before leaving Nashville his desire to remain in the South, although he has had many in- ducements to open in the North. Be ing a New Yorker, he was somewhat luctant in declining these flattering inducements. He stated in his com- munication to a friend that the Globe was furnishing him with valuable news as to the whereabouts of his classmates and friends. aig? NON-RESIDENT NOTICE. October Rules, 190%.

WOODARD — TRIMBLE WEDDING Last Tuesday evening the residence of Mrs. Susie Trimble, Eighth avenue, North, was beautifully decorated and a host of friends thronged the spacious parlors. The occasion was the wedding which united in matrimony Mr. Lee Woodard and Mrs. Susie Trimble. They marched to the strains of a beautiful wedding march played by Miss Brucie Mai Ewing. The bride wore a French gray gown trimmed in gray silk. The groom was dressed in conventional style. Dr. T. W. Halgler united the couple and wished them long life and prosperity. The bride and groom were the recipients of many beautiful presents. After the usual congratulations refreshments were served. In 1860 one of the most successful and perhaps the least harmful of all fools' hoaxes was perpetrated. A complimentary card was sent out inviting the public to an entertainment at the Tower of London: WHITE LIONS .On the 1st of APRIL at 12 precisely. Admitted only at the WHITE GATE. So ran the cards. London was in uproar, and cabmen made small fortunes. "The better the day the better the deed." Doubtless it was because the trick was played on a Sunday that it proved the most successful of any on a large scale. Many went away convinced of the reality of the spectacle; but they had missed it through failing to find the White Gate. GREAT STUNT BY GERONIMO. (From Outing.) In a single day Geronimo, when in his prime, ran forty miles on foot, rode 500 miles on one stretch, as fast as he could change horses, and so completely wore out the column which finally captured him that three sets of officers were needed to finish the chase, and not more than one-third of the troopers who started were in at the finish. Wrinkled and crafty and cruel is his swarthy face to-day, but the fire of his infernal energy has died and he is no more than a relic of the Geronimo of whom Gen. Miles sald after their first meeting: "He rode into our camp and dismounted, a prisoner. He was one of the brightest, most resolute, determined men I ever met, with the sharpest, clearest dark eye. Every movement showed power and energy." FISK VS. NATIONAL BAPTIST. On Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock the National Baptist baseball team will open the season of 1907 under glowing conditions. They will try conclusions with the strong Fisk team on Bennett Field. The team has been strengthened considerably since last season and is preparing for a hard campaign. The National Baptists furnished more sport for the fans than any club in Nashville last year, and they have planned to even eclipse their 1906 record this season. While the team has not had very much chance for practice this spring, they are determined to make the Fisk boys know that they have been in a game when the final inning will have been played Saturday. The following will compose the team that will go against Fisk: Pointer, Boyd, Bowman, Collins, Kelly, Watkins, Ewing, Fisher and Holmes. WHITE HOUSE CROW Has Been Foretelling the Weather Since Gen. Grant was President. Since Gen. Grant Was President. Many folks in this city, as well as elsewhere, have been talking about the old crow which is known to have established his headquarters long ago in the White House grounds, says the Washington Post, and whose skill as an augur has been advanced recently by a warning he gave that Easter Sunday would certainly be a moist and unpleasant day. To the east of the mansion on the north front, in a little grove of elms, the old bird has his habitation. Generally he occupies a tree very near the north portico. There, is a large hollow in the trunk of this tree, and in the topmost branches his sable plumage is nearly always to be seen. Some of the policemen on duty about the grounds keep an eye on the old fellow at times, but the majority of them ignore him. "I have as much as I can do," said one of the blue-coats when the subject of the crow's methods was mentioned to him, "to keep my attention rivited upon the crowds of people that swarm here every day, without giving any thought to the crow." But there are others about the White House who have paid considerable attention to him. One old retainer, who went into service when Gen. Grant became President, says this same crow was stationed near the house when he first took up a humble position there. "And we all know," said this old fellow, "that as a weather prophet he can give cards and spades to the bureau officers and beat them." The man who could probably give more information, if he would, about the White House crow is that old veteran of the clerical force, Col. Crook, who has been stationed in one capacity or an other about the Executive quarters ever since the days of President Lincoln. He has observed the bird's flights and heard his warning croaks for many years, and can testify to his presence in the grounds adjacent to the house for all this time. There is no one of the officials, high or low, who will venture conjecture concerning this crow's age. Their guesses range everywhere from twenty-seven years to the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, but there is a consensus that no matter how old he is, he is a wise bird. That he possesses some influence is evident from the fact that his forecast of the weather for Easter did prevent the ladies and some of the members of the minor officials about the White House from venturing out and risking a detriment to their beautiful spring finery. "How long this old fellow will remain with us no one can tell," said one of the clerks. "He knows he has a good place where no hunter can take a potshot at him, and no wanton little boy can hurl a rock at him, so he is wise enough to stand pat." A well-informed gentleman who lives in a fine farming region in West Virginia, but who is temporarily sojourning in Washington, talking about the White House crow, said: "As a weather predicter the crow is in good rank. We country folks notice it and often take advantage of the warning. Then the crow is apt to give notice if there is a gale brewing by flying pretty close to the ground. If the sky is clear and likely to continue so he will soar as high as he can, and croak his delight at living by lively caws." Brownsville, Tex., May 1.—A movement has been started here toward raising by popular subscription $10,000 to be paid as a reward to any soldier or officer of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry who will confess to having participated in the raid on Brownsville in August last, or will give the names and produce the necessary evidence to convict those who are guilty.
