ELECTORAL COLLEGE MEETS AT FRANKLIN. Nashville and Pulaski Carry Off Honors. LARGE DELEGATION IN ATTENDANCE-DELEGATES ELECTED TO THE NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE OF A. M. E. CHURCH, WHICH CONVENES IN NORFOLK, VA., MAY 1908. The Electoral College of Tennessee Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, met at Shorter's Chapel, Franklin, Tenn., on Wednesday, May 15. A large delegation of laymen were present, supplemented by nearly as many ministers. The attendance was very full considering that it rained all the morning. Several delegates coming from stations south of the place were late arriving due to a wreck of two freight trains a few miles below Columbia. The train was fully two hours late and the meeting was in session when the delegates from points south of Columbia arrived. The meeting was called to order by J. H. Adams, of Nashville, who stated the purpose of the meeting. D. A. Hart, of Nashville, moved that Mr. Adams be temporary chairman. The motion was seconded by Delegate Buford, of Pulaski. Mr. Adams was declared temporary chairman, and Prof. Reynolds, of Franklin, was nominated temporary secretary. The delegates joined in singing a hymn and prayer was offered by Rev. G. L. Jackson, presiding elder of the South Nashville District. After singing, the house was declared ready for permanent organization. It was moved that the temporary officers be elected permanent. Carried. D. A. Hart, of Nashville, was elected assistant secretary; Delegate Buford, of Pulaski, and W. M. Warfield, of Nashville, were elected tellers. After the election of officers the chairman declared the house ready for business. He said that he thought it would be in order to hear expressions from delegates and also invited the ministers present to say a few words of encouragement. Delegate D. A. Hart, of Nashville, was the first speaker. He said that he considered the meeting to be one of great importance, and that if any one looked upon it otherwise they were far from the right path. He announced himself a candidate and solicited the support of all. Several of the visiting ministers spoke words of encouragement. The question of whether it would be just to proceed with the election before the arrival of the delegate who had been delayed by a wreck on the railroad caused quite a discussion. While this discussion was in progress the delegates arrived. There were quite a number of them and all seemed deeply interested in the proceedings. The chairman asked that the delegates be seated in the middle pews, after which several delegates made short talks and each aspirant to honors laid his claim before the meeting. The tellers and secretaries at this juncture, were asked to prepare the ballots, which was done, and the contest was on in earnest. On the first ballot Bridgeforth, of Pulaski, was elected, having received the necessary number of votes to a choice, but owing to an irregularity the ballot was thrown out. On the second ballot Bridgeforth's strength increased and he lead the delegation by a good majority. He was declared elected. Warfield, of Nashville, gained sufficient strength on the second ballot to elect, only running one vote behind Bridgeforth; Buford, of Pulaski, and Porter, of Nashville, having received the next largest vote, were declared alternates. This brought to a close the session of the Electoral College. The chairman asked for a song before the benediction. Up to this point everything had gone along smoothly, and just as the delegates were beginning to congratulate each other, Rev. T. W. Haigler NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1907. asked permission to say a word. He called the attention of the ministers present to the National Endeavor meeting that is to be held in Nashville in July, and stated that he, as Conference Superintendent, would be glad to open correspondence with ministers. He spoke of the preparation in progress at his church, where the meeting would be held. REV. WM. FLAGG STARTS ROUGH HOUSE. Rev. Wm. Flagg, pastor of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, Nashville, secured the floor and announced that he was president of the Local Union in Nashville, and represented the Endeavor department in every respect, proclaiming himself the whole thing. In his remarks he took a shot at the Globe, saving that it was a Baptist paper and he did not expect it to say much about their work, and that was as the waving of the bloody shirt, for before he had closed his mouth, D. A. Hart, manager of the Globe and a delegate to the electoral college from St. John A. M. E. Church, Nashville, was on his feet. Chairman Adams did not feel that he had time to listen to any further discussion, but Delegate Hart yelled to the top of his voice, "You must hear me; you had time to hear the other gentleman." He challenged any one to point out anything in his paper to prove that it was a denominational paper in any sense. Speaking directly to Rev. Flagg, he said, "You have repeatedly made this assertion, and you are either ignorant of what you read or you are working to some evil design. You have further said that I am not a loyal African Methodist. I challenge you to prove it. I would be a fool to let my wife and children starve because I am a Methodist." So what had set in as a calm and deliberate body was brought to a close amid howling storm words. Quite a commotion was caused. Several of those present expressed themselves as disgusted with such tactics as those adopted by Rev. Mr. Flagg. One prominent minister said his mother worked for catholics, and on the theory advanced by Rev. Flagg she would be a Catholic. Rev. Flagg gained considerable notoriety several years ago in Georgia as a "church splitter." and his actions at the electoral college served to indicate that he has not outgrown his old habit. Rev. Bond, pastor of Shorter Chapel the seat of the Convention, had prepared to entertain the delegates in royal style, and after adjournment they were all assigned to their respective places for dinner. Everybody appeared to have been well fed when they assembled at the depot at 4:12 to depart for their homes. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT. Last. Sunday morning between 6 and 7 oclock, a disgraceful affair took place at the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Jackson street. Two purnacious females, after a wordy war that lasted some five or ten minutes proceeded to whip each other, and the job was well done. The people of the neighborhood are highly respectable and were quite indignant that such a deplorable affair should happen in their midst. AMONG THE CITY TEACHERS Miss Sophia Jackson will deliver the annual address to the graduating class of Normal A. & M. College, at Normal, Ala., May 23. Mothers' Day will be observed at Knowles School Friday, May 24. at which time all parents are invited to attend the exercises of the many departments. Prof. Dawson is much improved and was able to be at his post of duty this week. Mrs. Eddie Dickerson has received quite a flattering offer for her dramatic poem. A prominent troupe expects to tour in one of her plays next season. Miss M. B. Scales' eyes are improving rapidly. Prof. J. B. Batte is president of Walden Alumni Association. CARNATION CLUB. The Carnation Club had its regular meeting on Monday, May 6, at the residence of Mrs. P. A. Sims, Jr., 907 Tenth avenue, South. After the usual routine of business one hour was spent on needlework. Those present were Mesdames H. M. Burns, H. L. Pulins, Wm. Rucker, Robert Ralph, Chas. Duff, C. S. Bond, Hal Duff, W. S. Amos, M. Fowler, Thos. Waddy, C. C. Winstead, F. A. Turner, B. F. Martin. Ward and P. A. Sims, Jr. The hostess was assisted by Misses Josie M. McCullough and Millie A. K. Sims. Some very attractive needlework was exhibited by the members. After an enjoyable two-course menu the meeting adjourned to meet next Monday at the residence of Mrs. Hal Duff. FOR THREE DAYS A GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL, UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE MUSERGIA CLUB OF THAT CITY, CAPTIVATED THE LOVERS OF THE ENTRANCING ART. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 9th, 10th and 11th there was held in Louisville, Ky., a Musical Festival under the auspices of the Musergia Club of that city. This club was organized by Mr. G. M. McCllan who is the director. The Festival was held under great expense, a large part of which was met by subscriptions from the white people of Louisville. There were five entertainment, as follows: Thursday evening, Dudley Buck's Don Munio. The soloists were Miss Elsle Taylor, soprano; Mrs. J. W. Work, contralto; F. J. Work, tenor, of Fisk, and Messrs. David Barnett and Geo. H. Hampton, bassos, of Louisville. The Cantata was very heartily received, and rightly so, for both soloists and chorus entered into their work with an enthusiasm and intelligence very marked. Two members on the program were recalled by the audience, the Choral, "Jesus the very thought" and the duet for tenor and contralto, "Dews of the Summer Night." Mr. McCllan had drilled his chorus well indeed and in interpretation showed much insight and musical discernment. The success of the Don Music was well deserved. The second part of the program for the evening consisted of a piano solo, "Nochlstuecke"—Schumann, played by Mr. Roy Tibbs, of Fisk. Dudley Buck's "Maytime," sung by Miss Peek; "Lullaby," composed by J. W. Work, sung by Mrs. Work, with vocal accompaniment by eight members of the Fisk Glee Club, and "Negro Melodies," by the singers from Fisk. Every number was warmly received, so much so that announcement had to be made that no encores could be given. Friday afternoon 2:30 p. m., was school children's day; about 400 or 500 lively youngsters enjoyed the program in spite of the down-pour. The Festival Chorus sang "Ave Marie" from "Don Munio;" the Fisk Glee Club sang three selections, Mr. Clarence C. White, of Washington, D. C., played on his violin "The Prize Song," from Die Meister Singer of Wagner and African Dances. Op. 58, No. 1, by Coleridge Taylor. Misses Elsie Taylor, Marie Peek, Mrs. Work, Prof. Work and A. G. King sang Nevin's "Dutch Lullaby." Prof. J. W. Work sang "On-away," from Coleridge-Taylor's Hiawatha. Mr. and Mrs. Work sang "Dews of the Summer Night" and Mr. Tibbs played "Le Gallop," by Raff. This program, though light, was well executed and the children were delighted. Friday evening at 8:15 was the "star concert." It was opened by the singing of the "Swan-song," from the Lohengrin by Wagner, sung by Miss Taylor, Mrs. Work, Messrs. F. J. Work, J. W. Work and A. G. King. "The Dutch Lullaby" was repeated. "Huntsman's Chorus" from Don Munio, by Fisk Glee Club; "Crossing the Bar"—Sheppard—and Negro Melody, by the same singers followed. Misses Peek and Taylor sang Mendelssohn's Duet, "I waited on the Lord." Tubb's "Lullaby" was sung by a quartette from Glee Club. Negro Melodies followed. Mr. Clarence White played "Fantasia Appassionata" by Vieuxtemps. Mr. Raymond A. Lawson, of Hartford, Conn., a graduate of Fisk, both from college and music, played ten selections. Mrs. Work sang two solos—"Winter Lullaby," by DeKoven, and "Needhani's Irish Lullaby." The chorus sang "In Thankful Hymns Ascending." Saturday at 2:30 p. m., the audience was composed mainly of subscribers, among whom were some of the most prominent whites of Louisville, who took a warm and kindly interest in the Festival. The program for Friday evening was repeated, end it improved with repetition. It was necessary to repeat the announcement that there would be no encores, but even in spite of the announcement responses had to be made. Saturday evening at the "Church of our Merciful Savior," Mr. Roy Tibbs gave an Organ Recital of six selections. Mr. Tibbs showed the same musical nature in this recital that he shows on the piano, and with study will make a fine organist. Other numbers on the program were: "Crossing the Bar," sung by Glee Club; "Swing Low Sweet Charlot," and "They shall hunger no more," from "Prodigal Son" by Vincent; "Father, I have sinned," tenor solo by J. W. Work. Duet, "They Went Astray," by Mrs. Work and Miss Peek. This program was the last and the Festival was history. The Festival was a success in every way. It was held in Lieder-Krantz Hall, and drew large audiences at every performance. It is the first Festival of such magnitude to be conducted in the South with any such success as it attained. It probably cost between $500 and $1,000. Mr. McClellan, who was solely responsible for the affair, showed good judgment in selecting his performers as well as his program. Mr. Lawson is without doubt the very first pianist of the Negro race. Mr. White certainly deserves to be given the first place as violinist. The Fisk singers have gained for themselves a place in the hearts of the public by their artistic renditions of the Negro melodies, as well as the classics. This is due to the long, conscientious study through which they go, under the efficient direction of the head of the musical department, Miss J. H. Robinson, who has full charge of voice culture. Some of the numbers sung by them at the Festival were repeated subsequently by request of the patrons. The company consisted of Mrs. J. W. Work, Misses Peek and Taylor, Messrs. J. W. Work, F. J. Work, St. Elmo Brady, W. B. Merrill, A. G. King, M. V. Boutte and Swan Kendrick. --- PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Indications point to a successful close of this school on Thursday night, June 6, at the Ryman Auditorium. The Commencement program has been submitted by the Principal to Superintendent H. C. Weber and the same has been approved. The opening Chorus, "Greeting to Spring," by Strauss, is perhaps the prettiest chorus attempted by the school in many years. It is long, covering sixteen pages of octavo music, full of fine passages and many beautiful variations. When rendered by the High School Chorus on Commencement night, a chorus of 150 voices, the audience will realize that they have heard one of the fines choruses ever written. Another selection that promises to captivate the audience is "The Fairy Revel" from the Comic Opera, "Pirate of Penzance." Both of these pieces are standard selections, highly classical and none better are published. "Ring the Lily Bells," a special number for Ladies' Voices, in which Miss Emma T. Cheairs sings the solo part and Misses Eva Murrell and Florence Allison the duet, will have many admirers. Every one who has heard Miss Cheairs knows that she has a voice of rare sweetness and by some she is regarded as the prima donna of the school. Miss Murrell sings a high soprano, has a good, strong, mellow voice, and in the opinion of many pupils, divides honors evenly with Miss Cheairs. Miss Allison is unquestionably the leading contralto of the school and these three will no doubt do themselves honor on Commencement night. The program follows: 1. Opening Chorus—"Greeting to Spring" ..... Straus 2. Salutatory Address—The Two 5. Music—"Now wouldn't it be funny" ..... Geibel 6. Valedictory Address— Night brings out the stars— Everil M. Frazier 7. Music—"The Fairy Revel." from Comic Opera "Pirate of Penzance" 8. Presentation of Diplomas—by President of Board of Education 9. Closing Chorus—"March of the Guard" ..... Geibel The following pupils will receive diplomas, if they pass successfully the final examinations: Wm. B. Davis, Mansfield J. Dean, Chas. A. Greer, Crawford C. Harwell, Percy W. Nelson, Avery N. Peyton, Ira B. Scott, Emma T. Cheairs, Willie T. Cockrill, Mabel E. Scott, Sallie I. Duvall, Willie L. Foster, Hettie T. Fowler, Everil M. Frazier, Martha B. King, Hattie E. Mullein, Nina E. Murrell, Blanche O. Perkins, Annie I. Robertson, No.19. THE RESUMPTION OF WORK BY THIS NOTED INSTITUTION OF LEARNING WILL BE WELCOMED WITH UNFEIGNED JOY BY THOSE FOR WHOM IT WAS ESTABLISHED. It is rumored that the Roger Williams University, recently destroyed by fire, which was one of the oldest landmarks of Nashville and helped in no little way to earn for this city the title "Athens of the South," will open its fall term in September. Extra efforts have been put forth by the management, and it is gratifying if the news is true to not only the 45,000 Negroes of greater Nashville, but to the state at large. Indeed, this news will be hailed with delight by thousands of friends to the institution. On just how large a scale the opening of the University will be has not as yet been learned. It is said, however, that the promoters purpose to open on a small scale on account of the limited finances at their disposal, and on account of the failure of the Home Mission Society of New York to leave any of the $60,000 collected from insurance or the $175,000 it is said they collected from the sale of the old school site, or any of the money from the sale of the brick from the grounds in Nashville, to rebuild the University. Those managing the rebuilding part of the University have had to overcome the gravest financial difficulties; indeed, they have met with little encouragement and have received cold dealings from the treasurer of the Home Mission Society. It is said by some in a position to know, that the Tennessee Negro Baptists will take conditions in their own hands and like the Negro Baptists of Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, and every other state where they own a Negro school, start a school of their own in which they can put money and know that it will not be taken away from them on some slight pretext. The condition prevailing just now, if looked into closely, would indicate that a deliberate, well-laid plan had been carried out to euchre Negro Baptists out of the thousands of dollars they have put in the building of Roger Williams, as well as to take away even the equitable rights that they hold to that denominational school. The loyalty of the thousands of Negro Baptists in the State of Tennessee to the Home Mission Society of New York, cannot be questioned; but this loyalty is apparently turning since the Home Mission Society has made so many promises to rebuild the school, but when forced to show their hands they resorted to subterfuge and thereby prolonged the time or made stipulations that seemed impossible to be met. Nashville will welcome schools like Guadalupe College, at Seguin, Texas; Selma University, at Selma, Ala.; or the Central City College, at Macon, Ga. Those working to rebuild Roger Williams University have vowed to succeed. SALEM A. M. E. CHURCH. A most enjoyable time was spent last Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, of Sixth avenue, North, who entertained Club C.

The May Festival of the church will be given Thursday and Friday nights, May 23-24. A grand time for all. Come and see. Remarks of great credit were received by the members of the Allen C. E.

It seems that after a successful campaign of making an extremely dry town, and changing the mode of selecting aldermen from each ward to the city-at-large, another law has spurred the peace officials to seek out those designated as vagrants and cause them to appear before justices of peace for judgment. A number of colored vagrants has been fined, but it remains to be seen whether in the entire population of Clarksville, there will be any vagrants other than colored. While the law exempts persons belonging to labor unions on a strike, no provision is made for the person who refuses the munificent salary of $1.00 to $2.00 a week for labor that twice the amount is hardly a sufficient compensation. The engineering department is causing the city to put on metropolitan airs. Concrete pavements and guttering are much in evidence, and a few streets of the famous Ninth ward are being repaired and improved. If only these streets could have sidewalks made from the bricks that are giving place to the concrete pavements, no doubt the neighborhood would rise up and say blessed. The funeral cortege of the late Gabriel Meriweather left Clarksville last Wednesday for New Providence, Tenn., the scene of his childhood days and early manhood. Relatives, friends and Mt. Hebron Lodge, Odd Fellows, of which Mr. Meriweather was a member, accompanied the body on its journey to its last resting place. Funeral services were held at Green Hill Baptist Church with the Rev. T. Perkins officiating and interment at Providence cemetery. May, the month of flowers, has furnished but few beautiful days up to this writing. Last Thursday the first one witnessed two lawn fetes and moonlight parties without the moon. Financially it was a success. Mrs. Rhoda Poindexter, corner Marion and Kellogg, had quite a crowd at her Spring opening for the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, while Mrs. W. H. Parrish in the immediate neighborhood gave quite an excellent entertainment for the Fifth Ward Baptist Church. She realized something. Memorial eulogies for the departed members, and Thanksgiving services for the living of Mt. Hebron Lodge, Odd Fellows, were held last Sunday at Fifth Ward Baptist Church before an audience which filled the edifice. The principal addresses were made by Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, and Rev. Lewis Cross. The annual commencement of the Colored High School will take place at Elders Opera House, Friday, May 24th. The Ministerial Alliance was given a banquet by the pastor and members of Wesley Chapel A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night. Rev. L. M. Mitchell, of Mt. Sterling, Ky., was in the city last Tuesday the guest of Rev. P. J. Coleman. Rev. P. H. Burns, of Nashville, spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the city in the interest of the Bon Air Coal Company. J. H.

Mrs. Nannie Wilson, sister of Mrs. Elliott, prepared the supper. A program of speeches, music and recitations was rendered. Music was furnished by the Hot Springs Band. Among those present was Mr. R. E. Page, a graduate of Roger Williams University. The rendition of "Emancipation Day," by Mr. Tom Logan, comedian and stage director, added much to the evening's pleasure. A neat sum was realized, which will be turned over to the proper authorities. Before leaving Nashville and her old home, which she visited in February, Mrs. Elliott subscribed for the Globe, which she finds much pleasure in reading. OLYMPIC PARK INSPECTED. On Thursday evening a party of citizens visited the Olympic Park, a new addition to Greater Nashville, for outing and pleasure-seekers. The party was under the direction of the Board of Directors, headed by Dr. P. R. Burrus, who is president of the Olympic Park Company, and Dr. R. S. White, the secretary. They met at 3:30 o'clock at Burrus' drug store, corner Cedar and McLemore streets, and went to the park in wagons. It is said that every one present was highly pleased with the arrangements. It is the intention of the management of the park to give Nashville another up-to-date, first-class resort. The inspecting party reports that all modern improvements have been made, and that carpenters, painters and other mechanics are at work daily making preparations for the opening day. The regular way of reaching the park will be by boat from the Broadway wharf. Upon reaching the park, a special and convenient landing has been erected. The boats are to leave every hour. It is expected that the opening days, May 25, 26 and 27, will be three of the biggest days in Nashville. A Globe representative has had several long talks with prominent men identified in this movement. One of them stated that over $50,000 would be spent in improvements, grounds, etc., and that the club house, which overlooks the baseball grounds, would be unexcelled. The opening days will be eagerly looked forward to by hundreds of people. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES. Douglas Lodge No.21 Cincinnati, Ohio. PLATE 1. We manufacture K. P.

THE ED JOHNSON CASE. The death last Sunday of Miss Nevada Taylor, at Findlay, O., where she had been residing since the stirring times of the Ed Johnson lynching, has awakened interest in that now famous case, and directed attention to the charges against Sheriff Shipp, his deputies and the alleged lynchers of Chattanooga. It will doubtless be remembered that Ed Johnson, who, it was claimed, criminally assaulted the young woman while on her way home from work, was adjudged guilty of the crime after a trial, the fairness of which had been called into question. The attorneys for the condemned man being unable to get the case reviewed by the superior courts of the state, appealed to the Federal Court. The case finally reached the Supreme Court of the United States where a stay of execution was granted, and Sheriff Shipp duly notified to hold the prisoner. Though the Sheriff had received the proper notification he failed to take any precaution to obey the mandate of the court; consequently a mob variously estimated at from eighteen to fifty men, entered the jail, overpowered the one man who seemed to be expecting them, took Johnson to the county bridge and murdered him. The Supreme Court finding its mandates set at naught by the officers and citizens of Chattanooga after due deliberation and an investigation by the secret service, issued an order summoning the Sheriff, his deputies and some of the members of the mob to show cause why they should not be held for contempt. A special commissioner was appointed to take the evidence in the case and for several days during last February evidence, some of which was of a sensational nature, was heard from the defense and the prosecution. Owing to the mysterious disappearance of several of the most important witnesses for the government, the case was continued. It was understood, though, at the time that the trial would be resumed in March or April. Since then it seems that it has been allowed to sleep with the chances for a conviction considerably lessened. This slow procedure is to be expected from that august body—the Supreme Court, but how can the impetuous Mr. Roosevelt, who has prayed for an opportunity to get a few lynchers into the Federal Court possess himself with patience? Couldn't he bring the powers at his command to bear upon the situation and at least convict that "molly-coddle," the night jailer, of entering "a conspiracy of silence" to prevent the members of the mob from being prosecuted? Perhaps, after all, when the participants in the lynching are dead, a decision will be rendered by the Supreme Court. EXCEPTIONAL CORPORATIONS. Some corporations may be heartless; seeking always to benefit the owners at the expense of the public and with no thoughts of the employees in the minor positions, but it is not so with two in this city. The old veterans' banquet last week, given by one of the local railroads, brought together men who had been in the employ of the road for over fifty years. In the gathering which contained about eighteen men who have spent nearly their entire life in the service of the road, were two colored men. At an early date, as outlined in the last issue of the Globe, a veteran employee of another road will be given a barbecue at Watkins Park, to which men prominent in the affairs of the city will come to testify, if paying tribute can be designated as such, to the faithfulness of this man. Both of these affairs may seem small and trivial to the busy man whose ambition runs to what is called he higher things in life, but they contain a lesson that, if learned, would be of inestimable value to other corporations. The policy of these railroads in honoring faithful service while the employee lives, even though he possess a black skin; the interest they have shown in the personal affairs of their employees, have built up a mutual regard which has freed these corporations from the labor troubles that have afflicted many other institutions engaged in a like business. THE BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGATION. The Senate Committee on Military Affairs met in Washington Wednesday and re-opened the investigation of the Brownsville affair. The government is now presenting the evidence upon which President Roosevelt based his now famous order of dismissal without honor. The first witnesses on the stand have really proved by their testimony that they did not know whether or not the town was shot up by the colored troopers. Their evidence tends to clear the troopers. One witness who could scarcely speak or understand a word of English heard the men say, "Hurry up." Another, whose deafness was so pronounced that the members of the committee had trouble in making him hear the question propounded and whose eyes are so afflicted that he can see only from one of them, testined that he both saw and heard the soldiers on that night in August. This half-blind and semi-deaf man heard and saw these things on "a very dark night" at about the distance of 150 feet! Unless there is better evidence brought out in the trial, every one will be convinced that the troopers are innocent. The pet dog of President Roosevelt received a first-class walloping from a common cur the other day. This probably presages the reception Roosevelt's man Friday Taft will receive if nominated for president by the republican party. Taft wont be compelled to face a conspiracy but a revolution. Owing to the rush in preparing copy one or two articles in last week's issue, which were clipped from our exchanges, failed to receive proper credit. The colored brother is awakening to the fact that he must get into the fight for the political pie or be read out of the republican party by his erstwhile friends. The white brothers are organizing to get rid of us, we should organize to protect our interests. And, furthermore, one of the delegates from the state at large should be a Negro. Kansas City, Kansas, has a Negro street commissioner. Baltimore, Md., in the recent election, elected a Negro councilman. The colored vote is receiving recognition in the North and West. Nashville should be proud of its public schools. The teaching corps has a record for efficiency that gives the city a good reputation throughout the whole country. A Memphis teacher who visited this city recently, in a letter to a paper in his home city, complimented the system and eulogized in the highest terms the teachers of our high school. The addition of the man- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1907. N8. tless; owners with in the with with 'erans' one of together boy of in the ual training department, which came through the manly stand Prof. Smith took in his appeal to the School Board in his address to the graduating class of 1906, will still further increase the usefulness of the schools. With this department perfected as a branch to the present curriculum, the colored public school of Nashville will be in a class with the very best schools in the country. The Jamestown Exposition is opened, but as yet few of the buildings have been completed. The ter-centennial celebration seems to be a fit companion to the Panama Canal. The Governor is still handing out pardons at about the rate of one each day. He will have a hard time turning out the men who commit such felonies like stealing chickens as fast as they are sent up, but he won't be bothered with many murderers. The "unwritten law" turns these loose. We wonder if the Nashville police have begun their annual target practice? One of these officers shot a man this week. Of course, the victim was a Negro and the officer shot in self-defense. The same old tale. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has a dark horse as a democratic candidate for the presidency. Surely Booker Washington has not turned democrat! Oklahoma's constitution ought to be turned down, not because the state will elect a democratic delegation to Congress, but because it is the work of incompetents. The decision handed down by Judge Hart this week declaring the recently enacted vagrancy law unconstitutional is a welcome one. The law as enacted placed the power in the hands of the justices of the peace to send men to the workhouse without a trial by jury. Likewise it opened a field for fee grabbing by unscrupulous officials. Such a law is open to many abuses as was shown by the arrest and conviction Monday of a fifteen-year old boy. ANONYMOUS LETTERS. Of late it seems quite a popular mode of personal attack to write the person or persons aimed at, directly or indirectly, an anonymous letter, in which the nameless author, generally posing as a friend, pours forth the most bombastic and misrepresenting vituperations that a slanderous and malicious malefactor can conceive, for no other visible reason than to do personal harm to some inoffensive and unsuspecting fellowbeing, who, in most cases, is moving along in the "even tenor of his way." And in his or her frail attempt at disguise, ear-marks of would be "best citizens" are very visible which serve only to show him or her up as a "wolf in sheep's clothing," a menial of the lowest type or an immoral ingrate of the deepest dye. The several recent cases that have come under the observation of the writer are of the most ridiculous type, because of the high (?) source from whence they come, the suspects being among some of the people filling high stations in life. Now, this guerrilla and "under cover" method of warfare is a disgrace to the perpetrators and each thrust made at their would-be victims only serves as a boomerang, which will in the course of time inflict the intended wound upon themselves. Again, it is in abject defiance of the postal laws, and it is said that a case will be reported to the postal authorities, and that no pains will be spared by the government officials in locating these notorious blackmailers and bringing them to justice. Beware lest your sins find you out. OBSERVER. Nashville, May 15, 1907. DAVIS OUTRAGE FURNISHES THE OPPORTUNITY. To the Nashville Globe: The authorities of the United States are conducting an investigation of the brutal treatment of Mr. Davis, one of its citizens, at the hands of Nicaraguan soldiers and Honduran police. This is what should be done and in an effective way, and the riotous, drunken, guilty marauders should be meted out punishment commensurate to the outrage. That there will be a thorough sifting of the affair to ascertain the facts relative thereto may not be doubted. This Government is going to see to it that Honduras does the right thing. It is going to know the reason why one of its citizens has been so foully dealt with in the little Isthmian republic. It has been nosing around in that neck of the wood for THE VERDI SCHOOL OF MUSIC IS NOW OPEN. Instructions and Lessons given in Piano, Organ, Violin, Mandolin, Guitar, Voice and Harmony.

At last the opportunity was furnished in the attack on Mr. Davis for the landing of marines and bluejackets and embroiling the situation more acutely with this government, the party to be reckoned with. It is to be doubted whether the actions taken had Davis to think of as a real American citizen; but technically he was and that was the point. With almost incredible alacrity soldiers and police concerned in the outrage upon Davis were hustled aboard United States men-of-war, put in irons and held pending investigation and action in the matter. And when there seemed to be a probable resistance by the Nicaraguans and Hondurans to this procedure on the part of Capt. Fullam, of the Marietta, the United States war vessels moved in front of the barracks occupied by the soldiers and cleared for action in case there was any foolishness on their part. Enough men were landed from the vessels to carry into execution the command of Capt. Fullam, and Mr. Davis' assailants were arrested and put aboard. The outrage justified this procedure which was eminently proper. Mr. Davis is a citizen of the United States and was in the employ of a company of Americans doing business in Honduras at the time he was so frightfully maltreated by marauders in that country. His rights as a citizen of this government were at once recognized and inspired prompt and decisive action on the part of those representing its sovereignty and power. Now the governments of the two Central American Republics will have to make a representation to this government for the treatment of one of its citizens at the hands of subjects of theirs. There is significance in all of this promptness of Davis' government. Would his rights as a member of it have been recognized as readily within the confines of his own country, had he been set upon by as murderous a gang (mob) as those foreigners? Can this government protect the Negro in any civilized country in the world except its own? Will this always be true? It has been a subject for comment by others that this country can take care of the rights and furnish protection to its Negro citizens everywhere, except at home. This is a sad commentary on the boast of being a self-governing country. This is a boast which has been exploited far and wide—even to the ends of the earth; yet it is a hollow mockery proven too often insofar as the Negro is concerned. An instance may be recalled which should always cause a blush of shame, was the "Wilmington, North Carolina, Massacre." Men, guilty of no other crime save that of being members of the Negro race, were shot down in the streets and at the places where they were peaceably at work, trying to provide for their families. The President of this government was appealed to for protection against such wholesale slaughter, but he held no remedy nor any hope of a remedy.

Meharry is out, Walden has closed and the exodus of students from these two departments to some extent depopulates this section of the city. One always hates to see the time come when so many congenial and well-behaved young people must take themselves from among friends newly made, back to their homes. Many of them have already expressed a desire to return at the beginning of the school term. A few have lingered behind, loath to leave Nashville and an expression has been heard occasionally from a few remaining that it is their intention to spend the summer here if it can be done profitably.

Sunday and Monday were gala days for the Grand United Order of Odd fellows of Nashville. The main features were the grand rally and Thanksgiving sermon, which took place at Lea Avenue Christian Church, Sunday afternoon, between 2 and 4 o'clock. Every one of the twelve lodges, all the courts and the juvenile departments turned out in full force to make the program a success. They came from North, South, East and West to swell the throng. The lodges, courts and juveniles on the west side of the river assembled at their nail on Fourth avenue, North, and marched to the church, headed by the famous G. O. O. of O. F. band, Rev. Preston Taylor, president, gave the order to "marcn." The line of march was through the business section of the city to the church. The Thanksgiving Sermon was preacred by Rev. T. J. Lewis, promptly at 2 p.m. the service was begun with song and prayers by the Chaplain. Rev. Lewis made an excellent address to the different Orders. Monday the entire day and a part of the night were given to celebrating. A banquet and amusements were enjoyed. The building was handsome decorated and lighted for the night entertainment. The entertainment committee spared no pains to see that every one enjoyed themselves. They prepared refreshments at the hall for the evening. The hall was thrown open during the day and evening. There was plenty of music. Both old and young spent an enjoyable time. Two gold medals will be given, one to the Lodge and one to the ruth, that has raised the largest sum of money. Children's Day Program Now Ready. Children's Day Program Now Ready. We take pleasure in announcing that the program for Children's Day, which should be observed by all Sunday schools in the United States, is now ready. The program is one on the best ever gotten out. It is volume 10, No. 2, and is prepared especially for Children's Day, which is to be held Sunday, June 9, 1907. The order of exercises is arranged on the inside of the cover and outlines just now the program should be used. The Scripture reading, the singing, as well as the verses for reciting and the declamations have been selected with all possible care. These programs will be distributed gratuitously to all Sunday schools who will apply to the National Baptist Publishing Board at 523 N. Market street, Nashville, Tenn., and agree to give a collection to home missions. Nearly all of the music in the program is from our own composers. If Children's Day is to be observed by the Sunday schools, they should have their programs in time, so that the music and pieces may be well rehearsed by the scholars. Hundreds of orders have already been filled. Only a few days and the supply will be exhausted. DAVIS OUTRAGE FURNISHES THE ORPORTUNITY. (Continued from Page 4.) same President found out that the parbarities of Spain upon its subjects in Cuba were a crime against humanity and put into action such agencies as would ultimately bring about war between the two countries. The ulterior object of all those crocodile tears over Spain's cruelties was the gobbling up of Cuba. The government's policy materialized; Spain's authority was swept from the Western Hemisphere, and her late possessions taken in tow by the big Republic of North America. Another instance is Atlanta, where scores of Negroes were butchered, yet nothing like justice came to any of the murderers and no word went forth from the general government even in the shape of a moral protest against the horror. But here in a far away land is one man subjected to an outrage and the whole nation, through its representative, resents the affront and will demand reparation in some form or other. Those little republics existing on the narrow neck between the two Americas had better keep well within the pleasure of the big Northern Republic, or any of them may find their tenure of existence as independent nations of the same kind or nature that characterizes that of the "Pearl of the Antilles." They must remember that the Negro can not be outraged by them, whatever is done to him in his own country, and a presumption on their part may be costly, as it will afford a pretext for the big country to carry out its program of protectorate expansion, which will serve its future purpose when the big canal is completed.

More than $350.00 was taken in, it is claimed, but there was a deal of ex- pense attached and the net earnings will be something over $200.00, Every worker on the committee and every attendant evidenced the same amount of interest. They have never been pleased more at the results of an en- tertairment in the church. Dr. Clark declares that he proposes to raise $1,500 with which to remodel the church. Two steeples will be added and the two entrances to the base- ment will be remodeled, the Sunday school room thoroughly renovated and chairs installed, and the walls of the main auditorium calcimined. This, the pastor declares, will take fully $1, 500 and must be done within the next five or six months. Hence the spring festival was only a forertinner of what will take place in the near future.

Although few in number they came prepared to take in just what was said. Mr. Boyd out- lined the purpose for making the call and stated in a few brief remarks the purpose of the-contemplated celebra- tion of Childrens’ Day. He said that if the older people of Nashville could not come together as had been dem- onstrated time and again in worthy and laudable causes, it was time that some plans were put on foot for bring- ing the children together, thereby bringing them up to work in unity, and deyelop their strength. It was agreed at this meeting that Mr. Henry A. Boyd would be the general super- intendent and manager of the Chil- dren's Day exercises. The meeting lasted until 5:30 because of the fact that all of those present wanted to express themselves concerning the new, yet favorable project as it ap- peared to them . It is learned that Baptist Ministers’ Conference, which meets every Monday, endorsed heart- ily this plan of celebrating Children’s Day, They have promised that each superintendent of their respective schools would attend the next meet- ing, which is to be held at the Pub- lishing House, Sunday, May 19, at 2 p. m., When final arrangements will be completed, officers and committees appointed, putting on the — finishing touches for this big occasion and to bring to a climax the most successful religious celebration Nashville hag ever witnessed.

It is therefore or dered that a copy of this order be published for four weeks in succession in the Nashville Globe, a newspaper published in Nashyille, L. M. HITT, Clerk. M. B. COOK, D. ©. T. G. EWING, Solicitor for Complainant, CHURCH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS New Styles Cheap and Endurable. Comfort and Beauty Combined. UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews.

The church and Sunday school turned out in full to pay homage to the dead. Miss Rhodia Shannon read a paper on Obedience. Miss Willie May read a paper on Decoration. Rev. James B. Burke preached at 11 o'clock. The sermon was full of vim and vigor for a stronger love. The pulpit was then occupied by Rev. C. H. Gardner, who appealed for a stronger tie of love. The congregation then marched to the cemetery, where the sacred work of decoration was solemnly performed. The audience was then addressed by Prof. B. F. Phelps, who put vim and vigor into the exercises of the day by a brilliant oration on Decoration Day: Why We Decorate; What is Taught by Decoration; and How We Should Feel After We Had Performed the Solemn Duty. Rev. Horace Betty, pastor of Cedar Point M. E. Church, was with us. Mr. George Clark and Miss Norah Huddleston were quietly married Sunday. Our ex-soldiers, Mr. Henry Newby and Mr. Julus Beagles have a happy time talking over their war experiences. MURFREESBORO NOTES.

Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, left the city Tuesday evening for Washington, D. C., where he goes to attend the Executive Board meeting of the National Baptist Convention, at which time the program for the next National meeting, which is to be held in Washington, will be arranged. It is learned that Dr. Boyd will be in Washington several days and will then go to New York City. From there he will go to the state of Vermont for two or three days. It is expected that he will then return to Richmond, Va., where the Southern Baptist Convention (white) will be in session. On his return home he will stop at the Jamestown Exposition. His visit there will be for the purpose of selecting space for the exhibits of the Baptist Publishing Board, which has already been agreed upon. Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe reporter that the Baptists wanted to make a creditable exhibit, and would do so if sufficient space could be had and if the Baptists would lend their support. He is not able at this time to say just when the exhibit will be ready, but will know more definitely upon his return what will be done. PRINCE HERRMAN FREE TRIP TO JAMESTOWN.
