CONVENED IN CHATTANOOGA FOR FIVE DAYS, JULY 23-28. Most Enthusiastic Meeting in Its History. SUPREME EFFORT TO RAISE $5,000 FOR REBUILDING ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY—TENNESSEE BAPTISTS HAVE DONE THEMSELVES CREDIT BY THEIR MAGNIFICENT RESPONSE. A Globe reporter set out this week to make some little inquiry concerning the Negro Baptists of Tennessee. It will be remembered by the readers of the Globe that some months after the destruction of Roger Williams University by fire, the Globe by one of its reporters, sounded the alarm or warning that the insurance money of this institution would be collected and probably the property sold and the institution would not be built upon the same basis as it was before. It also warned the trustees that in case this was done, the youngest members of that board would hardly live long enough to redeem themselves from the contempt of the people of Tennessee. However, after a careful examination into the legal status, it was found that Roger Williams as a university, a school or a corporation, never owned a dollar's worth of property. All property, furniture, buildings and everything in the name of Roger Williams belonged in fee simple to the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York. Hence it was their privilege to dispose of it at will and use the proceeds at pleasure. The trustees, therefore, are exonerated from any blame, for they never had legal or equitable rights according to contract. The American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, however, made a proposition to the Baptists of Tennessee, that if they desired to rebuild the school as a Negro Baptist school, this society would give them a site and $15,000 in money on condition that the Negroes of Tennessee would raise $10,000. The Negroes of Tennessee entertained some doubts after they found that they had lost what they supposed they once had. Hence no great effort was made, it seems, to raise this $10,000. However, the failure of the Olympic Park Company and the forced sale of their beautiful grounds and buildings, aroused the friends of Roger Williams University and an effort was made to secure the same. While this ground and improvements was invoiced at $20,000, it was found that under this forced cash sale, it could be had for $10,000. A representative of the American Baptist Home Mission Society was sent for and a proposition was made to this society by the Baptists of Tennessee, that if they (the American Baptist Home Mission Society) would pay $5,000 on the grounds, the Negro Baptists of Tennessee would pay $5,000 for the improvements. This proposition was accepted by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and the state Executive Board of the Tennessee Baptists placed a forfeit of $500.00 with the receiver of the Olympic Park Company until August 1. The Negro Baptists having just thirty days in which to work, set out like Trojans. When the convention convened in Chattanooga on Wednesday last it was apparent on the face of every member that the long-sleeping, easy-going Baptists of Tennessee had been for once aroused and they were there for business. As the leaders of this convention had been accustomed to being carried in the arms of the Home Mission Society for all of these years, it was predicted far and wide that the $5,000 would never be raised in so short a time. But the men, women, and even children, were aroused over the proposition. There seemed to be two incentives. The first incentive was to save the $5,000 offered by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and own the school. The second incentive was to save the $500 forfeit NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1907. money already put up. With these two incentives all energies were blended and every effort was made to secure the needed $5,000. As best the Globe man could learn at the close of this meeting when the figures were counted, the executive board had in hand four thousand one hundred and some odd dollars. This seemed to have been done with ease. Men and women congratulated themselves that the Baptists could work when they had a cause to work for. it is indeed surprising that while the Baptists of Tennessee were making an effort to raise this special $5,000 for this one educational project, not one of their other educational missionary enterprises was to go unprovided for. The Globe man has it from good authority that the Negro Baptists of Tennessee have done more for missions this year than any other previous year. For instance, it is learned from one of the leaders of the women's department that last year the ladies made a special effort to raise missionary money and only raised $200 in their session. This year it was argued that Roger Williams instead would absorb all efforts and that no money would be raised for missions. To the surprise of all, it was found when the treasurer handed in the report, that while the women had raised something like $250 in their session for Roger Williams, they also had on hand something over $250 for missions, thus showing that the effort to raise educational money increased the missionary donation. What is true of the women's department was true with the convention proper, for the superintendent of missions reported that he alone had raised over $2,000 this year for missions, which is the greatest amount ever raised in the history of the convention. It is a good thing that the Negroes are being taught the lesson of self-reliance and self-control. "God always helps those who help themselves." The great question now arising since the money has been raised is, "To whom will the property belong?" After further investigation and careful inquiry, the Globe reporter has been unable to learn whether or not the board of trustees of Negro Baptists hold this property or not. In fact, there seems to be some dissatisfaction arising already on this point and unless the state executive board appoints a board of trustees of five or more persons, and unless these persons are Negroes, and unless this property is deeded to these Negroes in trust for the Negroes of Tennessee, there is sure to be a stampede. Many of the old Negro Baptists of Tennessee, coming out of slavery, could be easily deceived and easily satisfied, but the young men of to-day standing on the shoulders of the old men who first founded Roger Williams, are able to see further and they are demanding that this property shall be deeded to the Negro Baptists. The people are particularly anxious that three words shall stand out prominently in this conveyance. These three words are first, Negro; second, Baptists; and third, Tennessee. They want that there shall be no mistake but that this property belongs to the Negro Baptists of Tennessee, their heirs and successors forever. The Globe reporter sounds the same warning to the executive board of the state convention that the Globe sounded to the Negro trustees of Roger Williams University. If this property is purchased and this conveyance is made and is not made in this manner, it will be useless for them ever to call upon the rank and file of the Baptists of this portion of the state for anything. the reporter learned further that another great effort is now made by the American Baptist Home Mission Society for the improvement of this already splendid piece of property. That if the Negroes of Tennessee will raise another $5,000 in cash, the society of New York will turn over to them $15,000 in cash. This will give $20,000 as a starter to put this institution into operation. It appears there will be no trouble now for the Baptists to raise the second $5,000. Fifty churches and fifty preachers and fifty laymen can come up with $100 each and the money is raised; or fifty churches with $50 each, fifty preachers with $25 each, and fifty laymen with $25 each will make the amount. If Rev. Mr. Haynes, who seems to be the leading spirit of the present move, will bestir himself for another twelve months and if the leading Baptists will make him the one Moses or the one Joshua, he can easily lead the Negro Baptists into the promised land that "flows with milk (Continued on Page 2.) COUNTY SCHOOL TERM 8 MONTHS. BOARD OF EDUCATION HOLDS AN IMPORTANT SESSION. Committee of City Board Meets Goounty Board. MEETING OF COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION RENDERED AN IMPORTANT DECISION, WHEREBY THE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE GREATLY BENEFITED IF KEPT IN SCHOOL. At the meeting of the County Board of Education on Tuesday, an important decision was reached, whereby the school children in the county will be greatly benefited, if the parents see to it that they are kept in school regularly. A uniform session of eight months was established by the Board to supersede the old arrangement under which the length of the term varied considerably. All of the schools in the county will run the full eight months, unless the attendance should fall off so much that they must necessarily be discontinued. The appointments given out so far show that one school has been abandoned, the Ridge School in the old Twenty-second District. The salaries as given out show an increase on the whole, though in some cases they were lowered. The tendency of the Board was to lower somewhat the salaries of principals in the schools close to the city, and to raise them on the outskirts of the county. The salaries of the assistants in the various schools will remain about the same, being raised in some cases and lowered in others. The tendency, on the whole, however, was to raise rather than lower salaries. At the afternoon session of the Board a committee from the City Board of Education met with them and a discussion in regard to the suburban school question was held. Nothing definite was done on this matter, as E. E. Barthell, representing the legal side of the City Board's claim, was not present. An informal discussion of the question was held, but no action was taken by either side. The committee from the City Board was as follows: Supt. H. C. Weber, John H. DeWitt and Dr. Lees. School Census. The reports from the school census are all in except from the Fourth District. The census shows a considerable falling off in the number of pupils, due largely, it is said, to the inaccuracies in previous censuses. In the Seventeenth District this year's report shows a decrease of 314; in the Twentieth a loss of 264, and the greatest loss of all in the Twenty-third, where the decrease is 372. The only gain on the list is quite a large one in the Ninth District. The increase in this district in which the Tennessee Industrial School is located, is 862. Without the Fourth District the total scholastic population is 12,019, against 12,806 of last year. The Fourth District, which will probably show little change one way or the other, had 413 pupils last year. This would bring the total up to 12,432, against 13,219 of last year, or a total loss of 787 in the country districts. The total of the entire county, including the city, for the year 1906 was 53,586. Taking the estimated population of the city as 42,000 and the county as 12,432, the total would be 54,432, or a gain on the whole of 846. This tends to show that the loss of the county districts is due in some measure to the incorporation of the suburban territory. THE MAYFIELD CASE GOES TO SUPREME COURT. The case of R. L. Mayfield, the well-known attorney, now pending in the Criminal Court, has been appealed to the Supreme Court. The case has attracted so much interest and has been the means of putting so many versions before the public as to the alleged settlement said to have been effected recently that a representative of the Globe looked up the order in the case, so that the facts might be made public. The following is the order entered upon the minutes of the Criminal Court: State vs. R. L. Mayfield. State vs. R. L. Mayfield. "Came to the Attoney General, who prosecutes for the state and the defendant in person. Thereupon defendant by attorney withdrew his appeal to the Supreme Court, which was by the Court allowed. Thereupon it was ordered by the court that judgment heretofore entered overruling the defendant's motion is set aside and for nothing held, and the defendant is granted a new trial. Thereupon the Attorney General with the consent of the court, entered a Nolle Presequ herein upon the payment of full costs. Which was paid." This, it would seem, is the agreement entered into by Mr. Mayfield and the State of Tennessee, and it appears that there is no stipulation entered into whereby Mr. Mayfield was to leave town. Since he did not leave Nashville, the place where he was born and has lived all of his life, the above order was set aside and the case has gone to the Supreme Court. The many friends of Mr. Mayfield are glad to hear that he has taken this course rather than allow the courts to drive him from the city. It being the opinion of many that such a procedure would be making of the courts an instrument of oppression. The case will be watched with great interest by most of the citizens of Nashville, as Mr. Mayfield has always been outspoken for even-handed justice for our race before the courts of the state. It is hoped that when Mr. Mayfield's case comes before the Supreme Court, this august body will hand down a decision in accordance with the facts in the case from the standpoint of justice and fair play. THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY. Rev. Preston Taylor, of Lea Avenue Christian Church, preached to a large and appreciative audience last Sunday morning, the occasion being the thirty-eighth anniversary of his entrance in the Christian ministry. After the preliminary exercises, Elder Taylor announced that "Mindful" was his theme, and took his text from 2 Peter 3:2. He spoke of what a powerful mind God had equipped man with to remember the things which bind us closer to God and humanity; to remember things that are godly—things that are pleasing to God; to remember to do the deeds of charity that we have performed during our lives. He said that he remembered everything he had done in the history of his Christian ministry. Elder Taylor's discourse was a masterly effort and was listened to attentively by the whole congregation. He said that he had tried and would always endeavor to impress upon his congregation the importance of being mindful of our Creator. The day had been set apart as "rally day," and at the morning service the sum of $90.01 was raised. The rally will continue through next Sunday. SOUTH NASHVILLE DISTRICT CONFERENCE. The South Nashville District Conference met at Murfreesboro, July 17, with very few in number, but later in the afternoon there was an increase in attendance and the conference was opened with singing and prayer by Rev. Mr. Childress. Rev. C. H. Boone was elected Secretary. The names of the officers, preachers, local preachers and delegates were enrolled, after which the conference adjourned until afternoon. At 2 o'clock p. m. the house reassembled, and after prayer and timely remarks by Rev. G. L. Jackson, the roll was called and the amount collected from each church was reported. On Friday, July 19, the delegates to the Sunday School Convention took seats inside the bar, and elected Miss Mims. Secretary; assistant secretary, Miss T. Claybrooks; reporter to the Monitor, Miss A. L. Buchanan. On Friday evening papers were read by Miss S. M. Price, Miss Mims, Miss A. L. Buchanan, Miss Julia Hall, Tabitha Claybrooks, Miss K. Mayberry and Sarah Miller, Mr. M. B. Murray, of Woodbury, delivered an excellent address. On Sunday there were two interesting sermons by Dr. Denny and Rev. N. Smith. No.30. AT BEAUTIFUL GREENWOOD PARK, TUESDAY, JULY 30. Ideal Day. Happy Children. and Jolly Grownups. PUPILS OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL AND EMPLOYEES OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING HOUSE, WITH THEIR MANY FRIENDS, HAVE THEIR ANNUAL OUTING. Tuesday two parties had their annual picnic outings at Greenwood Park. They were respectively the Sunday School of the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, in charge of its superintendent, Dr. J. B. Singleton, and the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House, under Mr. S. P. Harris, chairman of the general committee of that institution for the occasion. The two parties were wholly independent of each other, it being a mere incident that they had selected the same date and place for their picnic. But they merged into one jolly, happy gathering, exchanging courtesies each with the other which intensified the pleasures of all. It was beautiful to see these two distinct parties become one happy whole. The day was a delightful one. The steady and refreshing rain which lasted nearly all of the day before made Tuesday the most ideal one that any picnickers have had this season for their pleasure outing. Cool, refreshing breezes, laden with invigorating and healthful oxygen, romped and frolicked and chased each other over the swells and hills and through the glens and dells of beautiful Greenwood—the one ideal pleasure place for the thousands of colored citizens of this growing city. Everybody seemed to have caught the spirit of the occasion and was joyously happy. Groups of picnickers were scattered here and there over the park. They made beautiful pictures which were nothing less than charming to see. It was a joy to see them passing the time in some merry sport and hear the cherry peals of laughter ringing out as some one or the other in the merry groups gained the mastery in game or repartee. Those who watched the gleeful abandon of the children as they enjoyed themselves, whether chasing each other, like the cool zephyrs, across the grassy stretches of the park or disporting themselves upon the wooden horses of the merry-go-round—the older ones who saw all of this innocent joy of the little ones could not but feel its warmth and the spirit of rejuvenescence, and deep down in their hearts feel also as did the bard who sang— 'Backward, turn backward, O Time, in two flight. Make me a child again just for"—today. About 1 o'clock through the park could be seen groups of picnickers, here and there, seated about feasts laid in the shade under the foliage of broad-spreading trees and partaking of the good things so appetizing and so welcome on such occasions. The lay of the land at Greenwood is of such a nature that one upon the high grounds can take in the whole park at a sweeping glance. This is what made the merry groups scattered about the grounds under the shade of the trees Tuesday make such a beautiful and entrancing scene. Somewhere there is a little poem which tells of a singer and his song, intimating in the following couplet that— "You may forget the singer, But you can't forget his song." This can never be said of the maker and giver of Greenwood Park to his people—a park which is destined to be one of the most beautiful and well-appointed pleasure resorts for colored people in the United States. Elder Taylor in conversation with Dr. R. H. Boyd and the writer told of his plans to further beautify the grounds, bringing them up to it. We Respectfully Ask Your Patronage. 114 Fourth Ave., S.

He pointed out where he was going to put different buildings for different kinds of amusements; he showed where plots would be laid out for flower beds; he showed where he intended to locate the field for athletic sports. He was very communicative and talked freely of his future plans. This may have been due to the fact that in mingling with the people he had been the recipient of hearty expressions of gratitude from many who really appreciate what he has done for his people in the magnanimity of his great benefaction—the gift of Greenwood Park. One could not have listened to this big-hearted man unfolding his plans to give to his people, their children and posterity forever as nearly an ideal Eden for wholesome pleasure as lay within his power, without feeling deep down in his soul the highest admiration for this truly public benefactor.

A moderately well dressed woman fitted into one of the County offices the other day with much aplomb and said that she would like to see the head of the office. There was something about the woman, despite her fairly good clothes, that bespoke humble origin and only recent prosperity. "He is out this afternoon," said the young woman who had been addressed by the visitor. "Well," exclaimed the other woman, peevishly, "when can I see him?" "He is least likely to be out of the office along about 11 in the morning." said the young woman clerk. "Oh, my dear young woman," said the visitor, as she drew herself to her full height. "that is when I have my breakfast." After she had gone the clerks who had heard her remarks all had a good laugh. "She didn't look like 11 o'clock breakfast to me," said one. "I'll venture to say that she sets the alarm clock for 6 o'clock every morning and hustles out of bed to get her husband's breakfast."—Cleveland, Plain Dealer NASHVILLE, TENN THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1907 BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION and honey." It is the general opinion or the concensus of opinion of the masses of the Negro Baptists of Tennessee that while Rev. Mr. Haynes may not be a great educator, he is a great hustler, and people would like to see Mr. Haynes made president of this school and given the right of way to put it into operation. The Globe reporter, however, could not get into the secret chambers as he had no mystic joy to the majestic entrance. Hence he is unable to give the readers a full view of the future intentions of the Baptists concerning this school project; but enough has been learned to say to the public that the Negro Baptists of Middle Tennessee are awakened and aroused as never before, and it is safe to predict that the first Monday in November, 1907, will find Roger Williams University in operation in the city of Nashville. FROM CHATTANOOGA TO LITTLE Mrs. T. R. Ish, who has been visiting friends in Chattanooga, passed through Nashville on the way to her home in Little Rock, Ark.. Wednesday morning. Mrs. Ish was accompanied by Misses Lessie Johnson and Johnnie Johnson. The Misses Johnson, whose homes are in Chattanooga, will be numbered in the student body at Philander Smith College, Little Rock, the next school year. They visited the National Baptist Publishing House and other places of interest. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kelly, 653 Bass street, while here. TO KILL MOTHS Camphor and Tobacco only Repel—Carbon Bisulphide Advised. Contrary to the general belief, camphor, naphthalene and tobacco will not kill clothes moths, says Suburban Life. They act merely as repellants; where they are used the moths will not deposit eggs. If the eggs are already laid or if the young have hatched substances of this nature will have no effect. In May or June the moths appear and lay their eggs, which soon hatch into the destructive grubs that feed on feathers, wool, fur and other things of an animal texture. The campaign against the moths must start early in the spring if immunity for the rest of the year is to be enjoyed. The easiest way to rid clothes of moths is to give them a thorough brushing once a week and then expose them to air and sunshine. Where they are to be packed away, fumigation with carbon bisulphide is the surest method. The garments are put in a tight trunk, with moth marbles. Then a saucer is placed on top of the pile with four or five tablespoonfuls of liquid carbon bisulphide in it, easily obtained at all druggists. The lid is closed and the trunk left undisturbed until the clothes are wanted The bisulphide evaporates, and being heavier than air, settles through the garments. It is deadly to insect life and will destroy it in all stages. No odor will remain in the clothes after airing them a few moments so that they can be used as soon as they are taken out. The moth marbles prevent other females from crawling in to lay their eggs. A simple way, but not so sure, is after brushing the goods to pack them in ordinary paper boxes or flour bags, pasting a strip of paper over the cracks in order to keep out the moths. For closets, cracks, carpets, furniture or carriage furnishings a thorough sprinkling of benzine or gasolene will clear out the pests. GUN FIRED BY A RABBIT. An extraordinary incident occurred close to the village of Milton, near Newport Pagnell, on Friday. A commercial traveller while driving along the road stopped to speak to two gentlemen who were shooting rabbits alongside the hedge. One of the gentlemen laid his gun on the ground while he placed a ferret in a hole. A rabbit bolting at this moment ran over the trigger of the loaded gun, which it released with its feet, the traveller having a very narrow escape. FUNERAL OF MRS. SUSIE NORMAN The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Susie Norman were solemnized at Kayne Avenue Baptist Church Thursday, July 25, at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Denny and Rev. Mr. Davis conducted the ceremonies. The church was filled with friends who came to look upon the face of the dearly loved woman for the last time on earth. Mrs. Norman was a devout Christian, an affectionate wife and a devoted mother. Alsup & McGavock were the funeral directors. The remains were interred at Mt. Ararat.

What came near being a fatal affair was witnessed last Sunday afternoon by scores of people. A street car was making rapid speed down one of the Franklin street hills in order to reach the top of the other. While the signal from a passenger anxious to get off at the Sixth street corner was being noted by the motorman, a boy gave the signal to go ahead before the car had really stopped. The passenger, a woman, was thrown heavily to the ground, sustaining painful bruises of the hip, arms and shoulders. The annual Eight of August celebration is now fast approaching, and preparations are being made to make the day well worth visiting this place to see. A broom factory is scheduled to open here on or about August 1. It is hoped that same will materialize. The Knights of Pythias are contemplating organizing a Uniform Rank in the near future.

D., who administered the sacrament to a large number of delegates, preachers and friends of the local churches. Miss Lillian L. Hampton was elected Secretary of the Convention, and Rev. H. E. Rucker, Secretary of the Conference. The reports of all the churches were good, except Wesley Chapel, Clarksville, Tenn., from which no report came. Bishop C. H. Phillips, A. M., D. D., and wife, came in Friday night and visited the Conference Saturday morning. The Bishop made a timely talk. Mrs. Phillips made a most excellent talk. Mrs. H. E. Smith, Misses Bernice C. and Delia C., wife and daughter of S. E. Smith came in Saturday morning and took an active part in the Conference.

Last Sunday afternoon, a party of a limited few spent a delightful time at Buford College as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Killebrew. A very nice dinner of the old country type was served in the spacious dining room, after which the party repaired to the beautiful lawn and was shown the many things around the grounds by Mr. Killebrew, who always delights in entertaining his friends in whatever way he can. There were chickens galore, turkeys, geese, ducks, guineas, pea fowls', hogs, cows, flowers and everything that goes to make up a pleasant country home. Later on an old fashioned watermelon feast was enjoyed out on the lawn. Those present were Misses J. V. Dixon, G. A. Cayton, L. A. Carden, Mr. and Mrs. James Lapsley and Mr. J. P. Matthews. Mr. and Mrs. Killebrew were assisted in entertaining by Misses Robbie K. Overton, Laura Whitlow and Zenith McCathern, About six o'clock on account of a very welcome shower the guests were ushered into the house where thy still enjoyed the hospitality of the host and hostess until about seven thirty o'clock, when the young ladies departed for their homes accompanied by Mr. Killebrew. --- W. C. T. U. CONVENTION. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which convened in Chattanooga on July 24 and 25, was opened by Mrs. V. W. Broughton, who is President of the body, with Mrs. B. H. Gray, Recording Secretary. The meeting was full of inspiration, six Unions answering to the roll call. A splendid program was rendered, the welcome address being delivered by Mrs. G. W. Jackson, President of the Chattanooga Union; response by Mrs. Jennie Legion, President of the Nashville Union. There were several papers and addresses by the representatives from the various Unions. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. V. W. Broughton, Nashville; Vice President, Mrs. Florence Cooper, Memphis; Treasurer, Mrs. C. M. McEwen, Gaillatin; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. L. Smith, Knoxville; Recording Secretary, Mrs. B. H. Gray, Nashville. Delegates were elected to the National W. C. T.

All news matter sent us for publication must be written only on one side of the paper, and should be accompanied by the name of the contributor;* not necessarily for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. TO CORRESPONDENTS. We must call our correspondents' attention again to our oft-repeated request that only one side of the paper be used when matter is intended for the columns of the Globe. Sign all articles with the real name of the sender, not necessarily for publication, but for the information of the editors. Write all articles with ink. Communications not meeting these requirements are liable to find their way to the waste basket. TAFT'S STOCK BOOSTED The Executive Committee of the Ohio republican convention by almost a two-thirds majority, endorsed William Howard Taft as Ohio's candidate for the presidency last Tuesday. The same body invited other states to join with them in the nomination of the gentleman who is at present Secretary of War, and still further declared that they were opposed to the elimination of Senators Foraker and Dick from public life. This body, though, as Senator Foraker points out, does not instruct the delegates to the next national republican convention. This will be done by the state convention which meets later. About the only advantage for the Taft forces in the action of the committee is the moral effect that it will have upon the rank and file of the party in that state, and will show to other states that the party organization is in the hands of Taft's friends. Though Taft can control the state committee, it does not of necessity follow that he will be able to control the state convention. Foraker, who is the head of the opposition to Taft, has been against the like odds before and has won out. He may do so again. Then again the almost solid opposition of the Negro voters of the state—and the Negro, if he opposes the ticket on account of Taft, could swing the state into the democratic column,—will be a great factor in the final outcome of Mr. Taft's boom. Though the committee's endorsement will have a tendency to boost Taft stock, it is yet liable to go so far below par that only Roosevelt himself can keep the presidential nomination from going to a man selected by the wing of the party headed by Foraker. CLEAN UP. Too much care can not be exercised in cleaning around the home. Nor can anyone be too cautious as to the water he drinks. The analytic examination made of the hydrant water by an expert chemist and submitted to the Chairman of the city Board of Health shows that the city water contains more deliterious matter than it did five years ago. So much, in fact, as to make it suspicious though not wholly to be condemned. It has been the experience of other cities where there have been epidemics of typhoid fever that outside of impure water the greatest source of infection was imperfect sewerage. Keep the houses and yards clean, boil the water for drinking purposes, keep the body clean, and the chances of a fever epidemic will pass. MOUND BAYOU. Mound Bayou, Miss., presents an inspiring example of what the American Negro can do. While Vardaman is stumping the state, using language unfit for publication in his abuse of our people, these determined citizens of this Negro community, are going the even tenor of their way, laying up a heritage for the coming generation. This town with few white citizens, and these few in what is called inferior work, is making history for the Negro race. Founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery, an ex-slave, a former servant of Jefferson Davis, about fifteen years ago, it has grown to such a commanding position that one of its merchants does a $50,000 business, and its bank transactions average $200,000 monthly. It has a score of stores, "a saw mill, two blacksmith shops, a machine shop, a printing plant, while so much cotton is marketed here that two cotton gins are in continual operation in the season." "Their harvest of cotton and other staples," says Day Allen Willey in Alexander's Magazine for July, "is so extensive that the railroad which passes through this part of the state secures more freight than from any other agricultural section of Mississippi, with two or three exceptions." Contrary to the opinion some people hold, the order of this Negro settlement with all the municipal officers colored, is so exceptionally good that the town has not and does not need a jail. In this it is almost unique for towns of its size in that state. After January 1, 1908, the whole state of Georgia will be free from legal saloons and also no one will be permitted to manufacture spiritous liquors in the state. The enactment which passed the house with a hundred majoirity out of 178 voting, is the most radical legislation adopted in any Southern state. It almost amounts to confiscation to the vested interests in the manufacturing business. But since provision is made for the druggist to carry pure alcohol in stock to be dispensed upon the order of a physician, the old toppers will easily find something just as good as their "white corn." Mound Bayou is not holding meetings protesting against the utterances of Vardaman. To all outward appearances it does not care a sou marquee what John Sharp Williams thinks. The community as a whole is simply going ahead, unmindful of demagogues, accumulating all things that make for the improvement of the city and the race. Georgia takes the prize for freak legislation. One "cracker" wanted a law to compel circus shows to provide separate tents for their white and colored patrons. --- TWO MEN INJURED IN RUNAWAY. A horse belonging to Mr. Davis, of Garden street, while being driven home from the Union Station Tuesday evening, became frightened on account of the breaking of the harness and ran away. In the wagon was Mr Ira Davis, who had been to the station to meet his mother, and a stranger from West Tennessee. The breaking of the holdback strap caused the horse, which seems to be a very high spirited animal, to break down Demonbreun street at top speed. Mr. Davis showed excellent judgment and kept the horse in the road until he reached Vine street, when to save himself and companion from serious if not fatal injuries, he turned the horse so as to run into a tree. This the wagon struck with such momentum as to throw the occupants to the ground. Mr. Davis received several flesh wounds, one in the leg being quite painful though not serious. The visiting gentleman received several body wounds and had several teeth knocked out. It is understood that it was necessary to call in a physician in this case, though in Mr. Davis' it was not. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 2. 1907 COMMUNICATIONS. AN EXCURSION FROM SAVANNAH, TENN., TO PITTSBURG, TENN. To the Nashville Globee: A few words from this point where I have spent a few days with the hospitable people of Savannah will, I hope, prove interesting. On the 23d inst. the undersigned was one of an excursion party which visited the historic battlefield of Shiloh, so called because of the fact that the old church and school house by that name so long identified with the site as one of the most prominent in the annals of the Civil War. It is a place full of interest and war reminiscences, because of the fact of the great struggle that took place forty-five years ago, as well as of the opposing genius of that occasion. The following persons were in the party: Rev. R. B. Polk, pastor of the C. M. E. Church, W. T. Oakley and family, Lee Smith and family; L. H. Dixon, C. Haley, H. Houston and family; Mrs. A. Bailey and daughters; Miss Allie Ray, Mrs. Alex Benton and children, and a few others. The battle of Shiloh was one of the most fiercely contested of the Civil War, and resulted, after a sanguinary engagement of ten days, in a victory in favor of the Stars and Stripes. The old mansion at Savannah, which was the headquarters of Gen. U. S. Grant, is in a fine state of preservation. It may also be remembered that the commanding general on the Confederate side, Gen. A. S. Johnson, lost his life here. General Johnson was attended during his last hours by Colonel Isham G. Harris, afterwards Governor of this State, and still later United States Senator from Tennessee. The circumstances connected with the general's last moments as they were related to me, were extremely pathetic. All prominent sites of this most famous place have now very properly by the government been designated and enduring tablets in bronze, marble or granite mark the places of the battle fought here in April, 1862. There are about 4,000 interments at the National Cemetery at Pittsburg, two thousand of which are marked "Unknown," the others are marked "Known." Beautiful slabs of marble are placed at the graves of the dead heroes. One of the most striking monuments in the park is a tall shaft reaching 80 feet from base to crest, at the summit of which is the figure of the American Eagle. The following inscription may be read from one side of the monument: "The world will care very little for what we to-day say here; but it will never forget the acts performed here by the brave boys who surrendered their lives to perpetuate the glorious Union." On the reverse side occur these words: "Bear off the brave, the twice five thousand men." That all day stood the battle shock; Fame holds them dear, and with immortal pen, Inscribes their name in enduring rock." The picture is grander when seen in connection with a mammoth figure in bronze, of a woman in the attitude of inscribing the names in the tablet with one hand, while with the other she would implore the beholder to be quiet while she pens the sacred lines. We left Savannah at 9 o'clock, with 40 persons in our group, arrived at the park at 11:45, took dinner at a beautiful free stone spring. Our ladies had prepared a most excellent repast and all did ample justice to it. After visiting the famous Shiloh Bloody Springs and Pond, and all other places of interest, the party returned to Savannah well pleased with the day's visit. Usually the restrictions placed against the colored people by the transportation companies during the season of greatest travel debar them from the privilege of visiting the beautiful park. I would advise all who desire to visit Shiloh to come to Savannah, procure conveyance of a private character and go to the park overland. All will be amply repaid for the outlay of coin required for the trip. The colored people of Savannah are prosperous; they have five churches of all denominations, good schools, three in number, and are very hospitable. FIRE AT PYTHIAN HALL. About 5 o'clock Thursday morning Pythian Hall, No. 524 Main street, was discovered to be on fire, and had it not been for the prompt action of Engine Company No. 4, considerable damage would have been the result. On the ground floor is a barber shop and ice cream parlor. The front of the barber shop was badly damaged. It is thought that the fire originated in the basement, which is used for storage.

(South Cherry St.) 6-7-07-t1 Why Is It Poisonous—The Creature's Tenacity and Quickness. From the Los Angeles Times. Of some of the strange ways of the gila monster, that little known creature of the Southwestern deserts, a correspondent writes: "I have had some experience with gila monsters and can state that no matter what scientists may claim the gila monster is a good thing to shun. Indians and Mexicans have a horror of them and fear them more than a rattlesnake. I believe that the bite of the gila monster is dangerous because of the creature's habit of eating lizzards, bugs and rodents and then lying on sand so hot that it blisters the nands and feet of men. The teeth are often covered with a fermented, putrefiled froth from the food. A bite has the same effect as the cut of a dissecting knife used on the cadaver; in other words, the inoculation of a deadly poison. "When frightened or angry he can move quite rapidly. That short, thick, stubby tail is used in jumping, just as a kangaroo used his tail. The gila monster bites like a bulldog and has the tenacity of a snapping turtle. I once saw some men teasing a gila monster brought to Tucson. A string was tied around his neck. The gila monster was crawling around on the ground trying to get away, but was pulled back by the string. This was carried on till the creature became furious. The crowd around the gila monster knew nothing of his power to spring. Suddenly he sprang up and bit a man among the crowd on the hand, leaping fully two feet from the ground. "Another instance, this of a man whose chief object seems to have been a foolhardy display of fearlessness: He was holding one of the monsters in his hand by the back of its neck, so it could not bite him. He dropped his hand to the side of his leg. The gila monster shut his teeth down on his heavy duck overalls, taking a double piece out where the cloth folded, as quickly as a pair of scissors could have cut the fabric, and as cleanly.

This is certainly true if one should judge by the scores of beau- tiful homes recently erected and still in course of construction, to be owned and inhabited by Negroes. Greater Nashville cannot be Greater Nashville unless every citizen feels it his indis- pensable duty to contribute, as a com- mitte of one, to its success. The re- cent purchases of real estate by mem- bers of the race is evidence beyond the shadow of a doubt that In the city of Nashville within the next two years will be found more homes owned by the citizens of color than any other city. Indeed without any attempt at boasting, it has its share already and continues to add to tho long list with slow but steady pace. Within the ast twelve months over $50,000 worth of homes have been erected. This i: confined to no particular locality o1 section of the city, but to the contrary like the many hills that make Nash ville. characteristic, these homes hav. heen built and are still being built The onward march continues.

From the Girl’s Own Page. I should like to mention a post-office on the ocean, which certainly belongs to the most primitive in the whole world, and does not boast a single official. It is in the South American Conti- nent, on the coast of Patagonia. Close to the edge of the sea is erected a strong beam on which is written “Post-Office,” and joined to it by a strong iron chain lies a barrel with a movable cover, The ships which pass through the Straights .¢nd a boat to the coast to take out those letters which are to be forwarded. and at the same time put in their own postal mat: ter the former to be conveyed to the next port, to be sey on by means of the usual post. In the Torres Straits, on one of the islands belonging to Australia, is a similar post station, equally primitive and equally fulfilling its purposes. age MIDSUMMER PARTY.

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.

Well, the Baptist and Methodist ball teams met Monday afternoon under most threatening clouds. It looked as if the rain was bent on washing away the park, but Old Sol argued the point. The game went on, yes, on and on to the tune of I'm a Baptist born and a Baptist bred, A Baptist till I die; I played baseball with the Methodist boys, And I ate all the Methodist "pi." The Baptists kept to their standard, always ready to exert every muscle to down their foe, be he Methodist or Do-Right. The teams started off even, but ended very much one way. After the first inning the Baptist boys made two or more runs each inning. A Mr. Wright was firing for the "Pedoes," but it was just a short while before the park keeper declared that only two bases would be allowed on a ball knocked out of the enclosure. There was no help available until the eighth inning, by which time the Baptists had decided to treat all alike, so Mr. Mason, the successor of Mr. Wright, fared no better. Mr. Bowman, the hurler for the Baptists, minus the three rotten errors behind him, would have shut out the Pedoes. As the fumbles amused the select audience, the game went to a conclusion of 17 to 4, with the Baptists on top. So ended the annual athletic contest between the two largest Negro publishing houses on earth. *** The Methodist admirers were there good and strong to cheer their boys on, on and down. 年 季 宋 It was plainly noticed that there were only a few friends and none of the colaborers of the Baptists, but nevertheless they went on and on and up, though alone. 永 泰 军 Mr. Walter Green, of the Columbia Cubs, umpired in the place of the whilom umpire, Mr. Wm. Stewart. Mr. Green was a bit off on balls and strikes, but otherwise gave satisfaction. * * * The broad challenge made by the Baptists before the Methodist-game has been accepted by the Standard Giants, who have agreed to cross bats on August 12, at Athletic Park, so the public will have a chance to see one more good game before the season closes. * * * "Leon," not feeling well, coached the game from the bench. THE RING. Veteran Goes in Ring With Bad Arm and Is No Match for Johnson in Their Philadelphia Battle. "Johnson deliberately fouled me twenty seconds before he threw me to the floor and the referee should have given me the decision on that point. While I believe that I could have beaten Johnson had not this foul occurred, I am certain I would have lasted the limit. "My broken arm would have prevented me from getting the better of the fight, but had I not been fouled and then dazed by the fall when Johnson threw me I would have weathered the storm through the six rounds. He wrestled me to the floor. I fell flat on my back and the blow hurt me." This is the statement Fitz recently made concerning his bout with Johnson. First Round. Johnson put a light left to the wind, following it with two more to the same place, and then they clinched. Johnson hooked a left to the face and then a hard left to the body. Some more sparring followed. Fitz swung his left to the face. The Negro sent his left to the body and another one to the wind. Bob hooked a left to Jack's face. The Negro swung a left to the chest. Fitz then hooked a light left to the ear, and Johnson sent a straight left to the face. Johnson swung his left to the wind at the bell. Johnson's round. Second Round. Johnson swung a right to the face and threw Fitz to the floor, for which he was warned by the referee. They then exchanged lefts to the body and Johnson jolted a right to the chin and Fritz went down. He tried to get up at the count of nine but fell over sideways and the referee stopped the fight. The blow that put Fitz down did not appear to be hard enough to have done very much damage, but the spectators took the affair quietly and made no fuss. It was evident to everybody that Fitz was too aged to have had a chance, and most of those present were glad that he was knocked out cold. Corbett at Ringside. Young Corbett, who was one of Fitz' seconds, said: "The old man tried once too often. Of course his injured hand prevented him from doing his best, but had it not been disabled he would not have lasted over five rounds. His work in the gym greatly deceived the people. When I saw him work I believed he would stop the colored lad, but his age told on him, his strength gave way and he fell early. Johnson did not land any terrific wallops on the old man."—Freeman. TOMMY BURNS DOES NOT MIND THE COLOR. Tommy Burns has publicly declared that he is not disposed to raise the color line any longer and that if any Negro pugilist thinks he has a claim on the heavyweight championship he can come forward with a challenge in the regular way. "Jack" Johnson intimated after the Burns-Sunires fight that he would like to take Tommy's measure, and no one doubts that he will be, heard from without delay. It would, consequently, appear that the next big fight will take place between Burns and Johnson, but the probabilities are that several months will elapse before the men can get together. Johnson is the only big man who is entitled to contest with Burns for the heavy supremacy. All the others have been given an opportunity to show the public what they are worth. But as soon as Johnson's name has been mentioned the color barrier was raised. A fight between Burns and Johnson would be watched with great interest by sports all over the country, but, of course, Burns will have to meet others, and he will be a busy pug for the next year or two. Burns, it is understood, has a very poor opinion of Johnson's real fighting ability and he fully expects to make short work of him if he ever gets him into a iring.—Clipping. * * * Jimmy Britt, the winner of the Britt-Nelson Bout of July 31, is out with a statement that he feels he can whip anybody at 133. He should remember that is Joe Gans' number, and Gans will surely call his hand. A FREE RIDE A man who evidently hailed from rural parts walked into the Ellsworth Building the other day and asked on what floor a certain firm was located. "They are not in this building" said the elevator man, "but get in the car anyhow, and I'll give you a ride." The countryman got in and the elevator shot swiftly upward, to his immense delight. When the car was again on the ground floor the farmer got out and reaching in his pocket said, "That was a fine ride. How much is it?"—Chicago Record-Herald. UTOPIA GUN CLUB.
