Special to the Nashville Globe.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 11, 1907. The largest and most representative organized body of Christian workers in the world opened its twenty-seventh annual session in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, "R" Street, Northwest, between 12th and 13th streets, at 12 o'clock to-day. It is the National Baptist Convention, which jurisdiction includes North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Porto Rico, Australia and insular, possessions of the United States. This Convention has a woman's auxiliary convention in connection, and represents a combined membership, according to the latest statistical report, of about two million and a half. It is estimated that fully 5,000 visitors are here. Special trains reached the city last night and this morning from Atlanta, Ga., Chicago, Ill., New Orleans, La., and other points where these delegations were concentrated, and special trains made up. Some of the most prominent members of the race are here either as delegates or as visitors and an elaborate program, which has already been arranged, promises to hold the National Capital spell-bound throughout the sessions.
The President of the Convention is Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., who is serving his thirteenth consecutive term. It was he that called the Convention to order to-day, after the interesting praise service conducted by Rev. C. H. Hughes, of Alabama, and Wm. Hightower, of Mississippi. The addresses of welcome and greetings from local organizations were all of the highest order, and portrayed the hospitality of the residents in the nation's capital.
Rev. M. W. D. Norman, A. M., D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, where the sessions of the Convention are being held, delivered an address in behalf of the church; Commissioner B. F. McFarland, in behalf of the District of Columbia; Rev. Geo. Washington Lee, D. D., LL. D., pastor of the Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, in behalf of the Ministers' Union; Rev. W. J. Howard, in behalf of the churches of the city; Rev. S. L. Corothers, D. D., in behalf of the denomination; Mr. Thos. L. Jones, attorney at law, in behalf of the young people's societies. These were followed by responses in behalf of the Convention, led by Dr. W. H. Moses, of Virginia. This Convention is divided into many boards with secretaries and managers in charge of these Boards located in different cities. These secretaries are here, and will make their reports to the Convention. The President's annual address was delivered at 2:30 this afternoon to a big house. It was received enthusiastically by his hearers. He made many recommendations for the betterment of the denomination and the Convention. He has repeatedly been styled as one of the best parliamentarians and presiding officers in the
the report of the National Benefit Board, Rev. A. A. Cosey. Corresponding Secretary, of Mound Bayon, Miss., was made and followed by an address by Rev. E. B. Topp, of Jackson, Miss. The other Boards of the Convention that will make their reports during the sessions are represented as follows: The Foreign Mission Board, located at Louisville, Ky., Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., Secretary; National B. Y. P. U. Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., Secretary; the Baptist Educational Board, Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D., Secretary,
NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 1907.
New Jersey; the Woman's Auxiliary Convention, Louisville, Ky., Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Secretary; The National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., Hev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., Secretary. Dr. Boyd is also Secretary of the Home Mission Board to the National Baptist Convention, but its headquarters are in Little Rock, Ark.
One of the beautiful features of the Convention is the magnificent music. A choir of one hundred voices marked the opening session. The choir was led by Rev. N. H. Pius, D. D., of Indianapolis, Ind., Musical Director of the Convention, who has been in Washington for the past two weeks rehearsing them for this occasion. The musical and official program is much in evidence, as each delegate is supplied with one, and the congregation joined the choir at each service. This city has not seen such a gathering in its history, especially one that fills it with more of a religious order, and furnishes it with such singing as is now being listened to.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 12, 1907.
Special to the Nashville Globe.
The second day's session of the great National Baptist Convention was opened with devotion promptly at 10:00 o'clock this morning notwithstanding many of the delegates had traveled hundreds of miles and had listened to the enchanting music from the choir last night until a late hour, and others had arrived this morning, most of them were in their places and listened with attention to the report of the Foreign Mission Board by Rev. L. G. Jordan, Corresponding Secretary, and to short addresses on Foreign Mission work by distinguished delegates and active workers in foreign fields. The entire day as programmed was carried out in proper style. Thousands of men and women serged to and fro around in and out of the building, but on the whole the most interested remained in doors, notwithstanding the building is not a third large enough to accommodate such a vast audience. The sermon tonight was an eloquent one, it was delivered by Rev. A. S. Jackson, D. D., of Dallas, Texas. He took for his subject, "The Triumph of His Cross," making a scholarly and well delivered sermon. Washington is doing herself honor, and is deporting herself admirably by the hospitable way in which she is entertaining the distinguished visitors within her gates. She is well deserving the name and place she occupies in the nations. Their homes have been thrown open for the reception of visitors. Denominational lines have been erased, and all are Baptist for one week. To-morrow will be given over to the report of the B. Y. P. U. Board, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, Corresponding Secretary, the most eloquent man in the denomination. In the forenoon a sermon will be delivered by Rev. J. W. Goodgame, of Anniston, Ala. The afternoon has been set apart for the report of the Educational Board by the new Secretary, Rev D. S. Klugh. It is expected that quite a heated discussion will follow his report, as nothing has been done concerning the establishment of the National Baptist Theological Seminary which the Convention voted last year to locate in Nashville, Tenn. It will be remembered that Prof. David Abner, Jr., of Texas, was at that time elected Secretary, but was not active hence Rev. Klugh was selected, but nothing in the way of opening the school proper has been done.
Friday evening at 7:30 p. m., the great Convention is to be addressed by Prof. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. This will be the third consecutive year that Dr. Washington has addressed this organization. Dr. Washington is a delegate by right of his connection with the denomination, and they have in these past three years given him a cordial invitation to accept this prominent place on program. One of the largest auditoriums in the city has been sacred for the occasion, and it is expected that the crowd will be larger than the one in Memphis last year, where fully ten thousand people heard him speak when he was at his best. Aside from this the most important work will come Saturday afternoon when the Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Convention and the Secretary of the Publishing Board will make his report. Dr. R. H. Boyd, D. D. LL. D., of Nashville, Tenn., occupies the position as Secretary of both Boards, and he has conducted from his office in Tennessee the great work that has been accomplished by these two Boards. It is known that Dr. Boyd in his report makes about the only substantial showing in the way of business enterprises that the denomination can boast of. His report at the Convention last year was the greatest in the history of the en
tire denomination. All the delegates await his hour on program. It is learned here that on account of breaking down while reading his report at the Convention two years ago (which was caused from the heavy mental strain and the continued incessant labor performed by the Moses of the denomination), he will not attempt to read his report this year, but this duty will be devolved upon the Assistant Secretary and Field Secretary. Dr. C. H. Clark, Chairman of the Publishing Board, will possibly precede the Secretary with an address. Saturday the Convention will be given over to the religious exercise and a sermon, while Sunday will be a busy day with all the churches. A Mass Sunday school will be held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The Missionary Mass Meeting of the Foreign Mission Board will be held at 5:00 o'clock Sunday. Monday will wind up the Convention with the election of officers.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Master Arthur Melvin Townsend, Jr., was host of a beautifully planned birthday party Tuesday afternoon, from 3 to 6. Promptly at 3 the prettily dressed little girls and boys began to arrive, representing homes of the "East Side" and extending as far south as Meharry University and west as far as Fisk. Indeed, the home of his parents was more than attractive, festooned in gay flowers of 50 or more homes. About 4:30 Mr. Lay, the photographer, was on the scene and grouped the children for a picture. A very charming one was presented amid the ferns and lilies. After this the children were invited into the dining room and here filled to their little hearts' content with cream, cake, candy and bananas. The color scheme was red and white. Negro souvenirs were given to each child with the following verse inscribed: "Hearts, like doors, can ope with ease To very, very, little keys.
Many and choice tokens with well-wishes for the returns of the day, were presented the little man from parents, relatives and friends. Choice gifts were received from Chattanooga, Winchester and Pulaski. Five dollars in money was presented him, which will be deposited in the "One Cent Savings Bank' on interest. The following is the guest list: Carrie Hodge, Herbert Fite, Adam Crowder, Henry Hill, Tennie Odie, Ellen Odie, Cordelia Stockell, Lillie M. Tyler, Samantha Jones, Geo. Grady, Levy Grady, H. Talmage Chappelle, L. Palmer Chappelle, Roberta Bostic, Mattie L. Bostic, Helen Johnson, Sophia Linton, Rosa Bell Stubblefield, R. M. Darden, K. M. Darden, Willie Joseph McClennon, J. W. Bostic, Jr., F. A. Stewart, Annie Stewart, Winnie Corinne Hart, Dayton Arabelle Hart, Kizzie Lillian Hill, Elbert Vaughn, Theo. Fite, Jesse Co Mitchen, Daisy Martin, Hardy McCullough, Jr., Marie Hill, Cornelius Vaughn, Robert Tipton, R. D. Hall, Ruth Bandy, Eunice Griggs, Annis L. Gray, Marie Singleton, Ophelia Brown, Luther Gray, Daisy Bradford, Leonard Ellington, Walter Anthony, J. B. Singleton, Jr., Jno. W. James and A. M. Townsend.
After the young set had departed for their several homes the following guests were entertained at tea in honor of Dr. Townsend's birthday, which will be the 26th of October: Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Stewart, Mesdames G. H. Bandy, Sutton Griggs, Laura J. Rhodes, D. A. Hart, Batches, J. B. Singleton, J. B. Bostic, Mitchem, Misses Battle, Bender and Stockells, Mrs. Townsend. A tempting three-course menu was served as follows: Ham, chicken, stuffed tomatoes, bread, ice tea, pickles, stuffed eggs, cream and cake, watermelon, fruits and candy. All enjoyed themselves highly and departed at a late hour, wishing the doctor a long and prosperous life.
GRILL CLUB ENTERTAINS.
The young men's Gill Club gave their annual party Friday evening, August 30, at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Bandy, on Lafayette street. The home, with its beautiful furnishings, the handsome young men and beautiful girls in their summer dresses, all with smiling faces filled with pleasure, p resented a scene to which even Aladdin's wonderful lamp might make obeisance. The decorations of ferns, Japanese lanterns and flowers were all tastefully arranged, while the lovers of the Ternsichorean art tripped the light fantastic toe until twelve o'clock, when a delightful three-course menu was served. Mrs. Bandy, the hostess, served each guest with delicious frappe. Those present were Misses Kittie Davis, Bessie Cockrill, Leola
C. Bright, Ida Johnson, Amanda Alexander, Clara Hightower, Bessie M. Carter, Helena Lowe, Myrtle Blake, Emma Thompson, Pearlie Dogan, Alice White, Clara White, Messrs John Woods, Jesse L. Leach, Stanley Cox, Ernest Brown, Thomas Hightower, David Alexander, Arnette Coffey, Samuel Meredith, Porter Davis and Ira Davis. Mr. Jack Harris presided at the piano during the evening.
WILL OCCUPY NEW HOME.
One of the most important deals in the annals of church history in Nashville has just leaked out. A Globe reporter learned from a reliable source that the All Saints Episcopal Church, which has been located for years at the corner of Wharf avenue and Cannon street, will move in the near future to the beautiful church edifice at the intersection of Ewing avenue, and Sixth avenue, South. This church was formerly occupied by the white congregation and was commonly known as the Holy Trinity Church. The building has a commanding location in South Nashville and is a beautiful structure, but the congregation that once occupied it outgrew the edifice, and since there was no room for addition, they were forced to find new quarters. With the assistance of Bishop Gailor the All Saints Church succeeded in getting this desirable piece of property. The present director in the person of Father A. J. Coombs, when asked by a Globe reporter when they would move, said it depended altogether upon how soon the building could be prepared. Much improvement must be accomplished before they can occupy it. The building will be thoroughly renovated on the inside, which will begin at once. "We feel," continued Father Coombs, "that our church has been greatly benefited and that our membership will grow rapidly, because we will be more centrally located, and many of our members can attend that have heretofore remained away from church." There will be few congregations in this city occupying a more desirable spot of worship than the All Saints.
MRS. MOORE RETURNS TO HER
HOME IN TEXAS.
Mrs. E. M. Moore, of Waco, Tex., who has been visiting Mrs. E. Tyree, of 15 North Hill street, left for her home last Saturday. While here Mrs. Moore was the recipient of many courtesies, and expressed herself as being very much clated over her visit. She visited some of the important places in Tennessee and made a flying trip to Louisville, Ky., to attend the biennial session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Mrs. Moore is a teacher in the High school of Waco, and one of the leading women in her State in every good movement.
B. B. C. SERMON.
A new organization known by the name of B. R. C. organized by Mr. Ben January had its first sermon preached Sunday afternoon, September 8, at Nebo Baptist Church, by Rev. John Slaughter. After the sermon speeches were made by Lawyer J. W. Grant and F. N. Greene. The members of the organization wore beautiful badges of blue. They have for their object the reformation of the young.
MISS PARKS HONORED.
Miss Minnie Fite entertained in honor of Miss Lillian Parks, of Louisville, last Friday evening. The house was beautifully decorated the colors being green and pink. The table was decorated with white and pink carnations. A two-course menu was served. Those present were Misses Lillian Parks, Lizzie Stockell, Marie Stockell, Beatrice Vaughn, Tobitha Claybrooks, Rosa Shelby, Irene Nixon, Geneva Bender, Ella C. Darden, Anna L. Robinson, Lula Kissell, of Clarksville, Messrs. John Flemming, H. McPride, Milton Darden, P. Stephens, D. Sanders, S. Turner, Samuel L. Carter, Samuel Houston, Dr. Lynch, Mark Bonner, Wm. Wade, B. J. Hadley Thos. Cotten, Orlando Voorhies and Perry Bond.

BRILLIANT SUCCESS----BOLTING PYTHIANS BACK IN LINE.
Major General Of Eastern And Western Hemispheres Received By Major General Jackson.
SUPREME CHANCELLOR STARKS MAKES GREAT RECORD-DAILY PRESS SPEAKS IN HIGHEST TERMS OF CONDUCT OF DELEGATES-FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE IN PARADE-VIEWED BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS-BOOKER WASHINGTON SPEAKS NEXT SESSION KANSAS CITY, MO.
At Liederkranz Hall, Louisville, Ky., Monday morning, Sept. 3, the fifteenth biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Negro Knights of Pythias, the largest and strongest organization in the world, came to order when Supreme Chancellor Sturks for the fifth time struck his gavel. There sat before him representatives from not only twenty-seven Grand Lodges of the jurisdiction, but those men who in their several communities have stood the test, and come to be leaders of their people and examples of business integrity. The Knights of Pythias is a business institution. The Supreme Prelate, C. D. White, invoked the divine blessings and the real machinery of the organization which directs the uniform ranks which has attracted much favorable attention since beginning its sessions last Sunday, had begun to move.
The Supreme Chancellor amid tremendous applause of the members announced that a faction of Pythians, known as the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, had withdrawn from that organization to return to the mother lodge, and that the representatives of the only Grand Lodge in that particular jurisdiction had come to Louisville to be re-obligated and to take their places in the original institution African Pythianism.
The regular dress parade took place Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock and throngs of people were present. At night two thousand attended the grand military reception and promenade at the Coliseum.
The Louisville-Courier Journal had the following to say editorially concerning the meeting:
"The colored Knights of Pythias of the World, in session here this week, have made an altogether excellent impression. The orderly method in which they have conducted their business, the gentlemanly manner in which they have borne themselves, and the exceedingly creditable appearance they presented in their parade, have elicited general comment and commendation. It is a pleasure to note such evidences of progress on the part of their race, and the Courier-Journal is glad thus to voice the good will of the city toward them."
As was promised, Thursday, among the colored Knights of Pythias, who have been so largely in evidence in Louisville all week, was Military day, and such a day for both visitors and for Louisville! There was a parade like which that city has not seen in many a year, and perhaps the largest and most impressive in the history of the Negro race in freedom. There were 5,000 people, including 3,500 soldiers, who marched like veterans behind inspiring strains of martial tunes. The streets through which the parade passed were lined with citizens three and four feet deep.
Bsides the soldiers, the parade consisted of the Supreme Lodge officers, Supreme Representatives, Supreme Lodge members and the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Then came the two miles of carriages containing those who came to visit the Supreme Lodge and the colored citizens of Louisville, who followed. On the steps of the old Jewish synagogue, at Sixth and Broadway, where the troops passed in review, there were banked several thousand people, and on either side of the streets ten blocks each way a crowd of people watched the parade. There were no end of cheers. Booker T. Washington addressed a large audience on Friday evening. (Continued on page 7.)
A REMARKABLE NEW DEPARTURE IN THE BUSINESS LIFE OF NASHVILLE.
Mr. A. N. Johnson, the Leading Embalmer and Funeral Director of the Negro Race Selects our City as his Future Home and has opened the Finest Undertaking Establishment in the South. Waiting rooms for our Ladies while shopping down in the city, Chapel and other features Grand Opening next Monday Sept. 16th 423 Cedar street in Boyd Building.
2
Only one block from the street railway station, and a short distance from the Union and Southern Rail Road Stations. Office 'phone, Main 763. Here he has show-rooms where he exhibits many of the various creations in styles and colors of caskets, robes and latest paraphernalia incident to the business. A modern chapel, especially prepared for those who want funerals to take place from parlors, arranged with every facility for the accommodation of persons whose remains are brought to the city or to be conveyed to homes out of the city. Here you will find waiting and reception rooms for persons who are to attend upon the services, or those who come into the city or depart with remains. Often there are no resting places where our people can stop to refreshen themselves when arriving in the city or to rest on departing, hence he has especially prepared a room for their every convenience, just as if they were at home, also a reception room, to which you will be welcomed to rest when shopping or stopping down in the central part of the city. That the people will appreciate a neat, clean and inviting resting place, where they may drop in and wait, use the 'phone, make a memorandum, send out for a glass of soda water or meet a friend, such accommodations as are not given to our people, and are given by hotels, drug stores and similar places down in the city to other races, goes without saying. These privileges are given absolutely free to the deserving men and women of the race, and Mr. Johnson feels that the same will be appreciated by both ladies and gentlemen. A most cordial invitation is extended to you to come and see his quarters, commend what is good and suggest what might help to make a complete place. His apartments are separate and distinct from all other tenants in the entire building.
When asked about embalming and his business, he said:
"After death, comes the Embalmer. At least he should come. Often he is preceded by the sudden adviser, whose intense interest and advice as to which Embalmer you should have, adds to your sorrow. There has been as great advancement made in embalming within the past twenty years as there has been in any of the modern arts and sciences, and the prosperity of the people has demanded better and more skilled service, until very few states in the Union are without stringent laws regulating the practice of embalming. The modern Embalmer should have a thorough knowledge of anatomy, antiseptic chemistry, sanitary science, disinfection, etc. He should know when a person is dead, the different phenomena of death and should have such a knowledge of diseases that he can know the cause of death and how to give that specific treatment in embalming which is necessitated by the nature of the disease, that the living may be protected from contagion and infection and the body receive such treatment as will give the most satisfactory results.
"After careful survey of the needs, advantages, conditions and opportunities in this Athens, we decided that there was an 'opening for a man who knew his business; for a man in the front ranks who was competent, who was fully up to date in the profession of embalming, and who had an equipment equal to the best in the entire country, regardless of the question of race or color."
S TO HIS COMPETENCY.
He said:
"We have practiced embalming for the past fourteen years, during which time we have embalmed persons who have died from almost every known disease, every form of accident and violence—numbering above three thousand bodies—and given satisfaction in every case, in both the cities of Mobile and Memphis. During this time the records will show that we buried more people than any other undertaker of either race. Besides holding a graduate's diploma from an Embalming College, we have been licensed by Embalming Boards of Alabama and Texas, which states require persons to pass rigid examinations in embalming, sanitary science, antisep-

[Name not visible in the image]
tie chemistry, etc., before they can claim to embalm. When a colored man passes these Boards and is granted license, he is certainly competent." In addition to the knowledge acquired from practice, he has visited every city with more than ten thousand inhabitants, from New York to Mexico, studying every known method of the art of embalming, so that he is able to say in the fullest confidence, that in all the methods he is at the head of the profession of embalming, and can give the most satisfactory service; so that if you employ him to do your embalming you have a man thoroughly competent, up to the present time in methods and who can give you the very best of service.
He said: "Many very valuable lives are lost by employing incompetent men in embalming. There are men who possibly know how to 'keep a body' for twenty-four or forty-eight hours, but whose work results in the spreading of the disease by turning loose germ life, so that it only remains a few weeks or months until others have developed the same disease and died; all because the embalmer knew nothing about disinfection. Ask any reputable physician what amount of damage can be done by an incompetent embalmer who is wanting in the knowledge of how to dispose of the germ life in typhoid fever or other infectious or contagious diseases. Certainly in such a time you need competency."
Death is never a welcome visitor and the horror and sorrow which comes with him are often amelliorated by the man of competency—one so skilled as to be regarded as an artist in his profession. Every one agrees that all dead bodies should be embalmed as much for sanitary reasons as for keeping the dead pleasant; for of all the unpleasant conditions none
MR. A. N. JOHNSON,
Funeral Director and Embalmer.
is more unpleasant than a body in the advanced state of putrefaction—no matter how beautiful the person was in life or how amiable his disposition. Still there are people who are so economical (?) that they will not have it done at the proper time; but wait until the body has far gone into decomposition and decay, so that they are blackened and good results are impossible. There is a "Too late" period in embalming just as there is in religion or medicine.
AS TO PRICES.
When asked about prices for such service, he said:
"Our prices are consistent with services and material used. No man serves now for nothing. The good old days when a man died at midnight, the church bell rang, the neighborhood arose from its slumbers, carpenters made a free coffin and good women covered it with black calico are gone. Our prosperity has carried us away from those times and we are wanting the very best that we can get. All persons do not die from the same cause. Deaths from some diseases require more time and more expensive material and service, just as a physician charges for different operations a different price. Our prices will not be any higher than you would pay for services not as efficient. A new man coming into a community could not hope to give other than the best service and make prices in reason."
EQUIPMENT
Well, Mr. Johnson, what about your equipment? "We have the distinction of owning the finest funeral cars ever owned by any colored man in the United States. When we sold out our business last
November, we ordered the Cunningham people, who are the most famous hearse builders in the world, to build us one of the finest, most magnificent, massive and stately funeral cars ever built. It is without doubt as beautiful and as elegant in design as any funeral car in this country and finer than the funeral car which was used for President McKinley when he died. 'It is fit for a king.' The finest owned by any colored man in America to-day, and equal to any in the country in beauty and design. It will be worth a visit to our place to see this grand piece of architecture and workmanship.
"What is said in the foregoing about our ebony or black funeral car, can be said of our white funeral car, with its richly carved wood panels, between which are displayed snowy white, purple or steel gray curtains to blend with the color of the casket used. This is an innovation which the artistic will appreciate and commend. Death is robbed of much of its horrors when modern ideas are employed in such details as we concern ourselves, and which have conspicuously placed us at the head of the business in the entire country.
"Our carriages are not old, second hand, rebuilt carriages, but brand new in make, style and design and the best that genius has invented and money can buy. These are for hire at all times and at reasonable prices, whether we have your funeral or not."
AS TO CASKETS.
When asked about carrying a stock of goods he said: "We will keep constantly on hand all kinds of coffins, caskets, robes and general funeral furnishings. We would much prefer that our customers would come and make their own selection.
it always gives more satisfaction than the catalogue. There are many styles of caskets, in all the various colors and tints, and, in keeping with the times, we have had many of our caskets made to our own style and liking, because we believe in our good taste and ability to design, which gives our customers originality. We will be pleased to serve our customers in the old way, by selling from the catalogue; but as they would not think of buying even a hat without seeing it, we believe that people will get the most satisfaction by seeing just the exact casket and funeral car that they want, and satisfaction is assured.
"We shall be pleased to have any and all persons call on us and see our place of business and become acquainted with us. We are of necessity forced to ask the assistance of the people as well as some indulgence in getting acquainted, and we hope that no one will think we are stiff-necked, puffed up or unfriendly to all of our people, whether they are poor or rich, laborers or servants, for we are earnest servants, anxious to serve and please the humblest person who cares to employ us and who can pay for good services at reasonable and living prices."
"We are anxious for and will be pleased to have members of any and all societies, whether they be benevolent or secret to see our place of business, our outfit and learn of our methods. It perhaps might be thought that we should connect ourselves with each of the societies in order to get their business. We believe in societies and the great good they do; but we believe that we should be at our place of business, ready to serve the people instead of trying to get business that way. We hope that the people who conduct the affairs of the good organizations will consider this fact, that we are competent and experienced in society management and will give us support as we merit it by giving the most competent service and being at our post when called upon."
AS TO TERMS.
When asked about terms, he replied:
"Our prices are reasonable and are not inflated. In some cases men employ the method of having honest people pay other's debts. They give credit to all who ask it and those who pay, pay the other man's bills. It has been our method to rather do business for those who can and will pay, at a living rate, than take all kinds of risks, wear out our outfit so that when the man who has had the good judgment to insure or join some good organization wants a funeral, the outfit and horses are all worn out. We will be glad to do business for any one who can pay and for those who can give assurance that pay will be sure and certain in a reasonable time. We hope to observe the Golden Rule to all in our dealings. There is business enough for all who are here as well as for us and we want the friendship and co-operation of all men in the business: therefore, we shall be glad if all who read our announcement will come and see our place, get acquainted with us and see if they like us well enough to give us a chance to serve them. Then they will know when the time comes whether they want us or not, and all unpleasantness be eliminated. There are undertakers who visit the sick and who ask for a funeral. This act borders too much on the vulture for us and we do neither. If people want our services, come to our place of business, or ring us up, giving us the age of the deceased so that we can intelligently bring paraphernalia suitable, telling us on which street they live and the number, and we will answer their calls day or night."
Tell us something of your paraphernalia and service.
"Our paraphernalia is new and modern. Pedestals, trucks, couches and methods are modern, not cheap. We pride ourselves on our service. Service is our strong point. We can and do lay emphasis on service. People get the best when they employ us. That is as sure as death itself. In giving us a part of their business, they are assured of all that is latest and
modern, strictly high class and dis-
tinctively the best. How could we hope
to succeed if we did not give the best?
“There is room at the top,’ write one
of our friends inviting us to this city.
‘That is the place we have taken in
service,”
OUR DISADVANTAGE.
“The stranger labors under ‘the
great disadvantage of not being ac-
quainted, but he has no enemies to
punish, therefore, with good wishes
for self and others, we ask that the
people, whatever their station in life,
come and see our outfit and place of
business and see us and satisfy them:
selves whether we are worthy of their
confidence and support. See if we
measure up to the standard. There
‘will, no doubt, be the usual prejudiced
and misinformed, so if interested, and
in doubt, do us the kindness to come
and see us. In other words, we would
be glad to meet you.”

“1 am delighted to add a word of
testimony regarding Hon. A. N. John-
son, whose business I have watched
for years, noting its growth and de-
velopment, and in my extensive tray-
els, it was far in advance of any [

late the citizens of Nashville in cap-
turing a race man of his ability, re-
liability and stability, and hope his
operations will be attended with the
degree of success he merits and de-
serves. I commend him to the Frater-

pastor of Franklin Street Baptist
Chureh:
“Hon, A. N. Johnson is one of the
best business men in this country,
and without a superior in embalming
and funeral directing. He kept the
finest funeral cars, carriages and am-
bulance in Mobile. He is the greatest
directing genius in conducting funer-
als I ever met. His handling of the
corpse, the mourners, the officials at
the home, the church and in proces
sions always won my admiration. He
is peerless in his general conduct of
funerals, always on time and foremost
in the ranks of his profession. Ha
is worthy: of the highest success,

To Whom it May Concern:
“T have known the Hon. A. N. John-
son since 1887, and during that period
of time I have had unlimited oppor-
tunities of judging his character and
standing in this community among
both white and black, and I can can-
didly say he is one of the leading men
of the race, not only im this section,
but throughout the entire state. He
bears what I might term an enviable
reputation among all elasses of citt-
venship for honesty, probity of char-
acter and open and straightforward

ALABAMA METHODISTS.
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Sept. 1.—Eleven
thousand dollars for Miles Memorial
College, located at Birmingham, in
one effort, is the record-breaking
achievement of the Afro-Americans of
Alabama in the Colored Methodist
Episcopal Church, in a great educa-
tional convocation held here last
week. This represents the largest
effort ever made by Afro-Americans of
the South to collect money for their
own education, and the fact that such
a large amount of money could be se-
cured from the meager purses of the
people, speaks volumes for the will-
ingness of the Southern black peo-
ple to help themselves. |
Bishop R. S. Williams, of Augusta,
Ga., the Bishop of the diocese in
which Mues Memorial Coliege is lo-
cated, led the hosts of black people in
this State to this accomplishment sim-
ply by showing to them the urgent
necessity of concerted action in order
that a creditable church institution
might be erected in Alabama, and
from every presiding elder’s district
and from every minister came money
that represented the hardest difficul-
ties in their earning and the sheerest
sacrifice on the part of the donors.
An extensive program was rendered
during the week of the convocation,
addresses being delivered by Bishop
Isaac Lane, Dr. James A. Bray, Dr.
John W. Gilbert, Dr. C. H. Tobias, Dr.
N. C. Gleaves, Dr. J. D, Hammond,

RUNAWAY CAR,

ous affair occurred Monday about
:15 oclock at the eorner of Bighth
and Jo Johnston avenues, when a St.
Cecilia car, of which the motorman
must have lost control, rushed down
Wighth avenue. The car was crowd-
od with people just going home from
work, and when it reached Jo John-
ston avenue, bounced up and was
turned in a northwestern direction,
going into the porch of one of the
houses on Bighth evenue. Men were
thrown from the platforme and win.
dows broken out by the passenger:
endeavoring to escape.
‘A Globe reporter, who was on thé
scene and saw the whole affair, upor
investigation found that the few col
ored passengers in the jim crow cor
ner were unhurt and had room t
walk out after the men had bee!
thrown from the rear platform. The

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S VISIT.
His Excellency, the President of the United States, will pay this city a visit, as is scheduled in the program of his Southern itinerary, Tuesday, October 22. His stay will be of three-hours' duration. In that time he will pay a visit to "The Hermitage," formerly the home of Andrew Jackson, popularly and affectionately known as "Old Hickory," and a former President of the United States.
President Roosevelt will deliver an address at "The Hermitage," which will doubtless be an occasion for the presence of teeming thousands at the old, revered and historical place. The people who have not had an opportunity to see the man who wields the "big stick," the strenuous, busy man who has done so many contradictory things as to attract world-wide notoriety, the man who has preached the "square deal" and "open door of hope" doctrine, will leave no chance slip to see him.
The colored people of this community will be very anxious, indeed, to see the man who, at the beginning of his presidential career, fulminated against all forms of injustice and pleaded for fair play for all men, yet fell in an evil hour as did Lucifer, never to rise again to the high plane of exalted statesmanship upon which ten million American citizens thought he stood by virtue of his lofty preachments.
It is a notorious fact that the wily,unning diplomacy of the South has succeeded in duping every Republican President who has ever crossed the Mason and Dixon line. The hospitality of the South, which is proverbial, outweighs all other considerations with a visiting Republican President, and he goes back to Washington the most deceived of all the deceived, believing he has made an impression upon the cast of thought in the sunny southern land. While, in fact, the south knows how to turn the trick, it administers the dope in the shape of currahs and hospitality and send him back to the Nation's Capital hypnozed on the "race question," and he already to follow any suggestion made by the South with reference to the treatment of the colored American. President Harrison came South, it oiled him, but in a less sort than it did those who have followed him. President McKinley came and yielded the sirenic treatment and huzzas given him, and ever afterward left the soldier man to his fate, refusing to a word with regard to the Wilmington, North Carolina, massacre. A shot Spain off the Western Continent for its barbarities and attrocities Cubans, but citizens whom he had born to defend and protect, he left used to their enemies. On the question of justice to the colored man the

South had put him hors de combat. President Roosevelt toured the South in 1905 and fell into the same trap of his predecessors, and went back to the White House prepared, not only to discharge two or three hundred colored soldiers on a charge against a dozen of them, but to keep them discharged, though the charge against these few was unsustained by proof.
We have not the temerility to risk any sort of prophecy as to what kind of treatment the colored man may expect at the hands of the President to place the South, after this second visit.
At all events we shall see him, read him, weigh him, judge him as best we can from whatever vantage ground, and then await his return to Washington and future developments.
JOE GANS WINS.
Joe Gans wins! This redoubtable fighter establishes a clear title as champion of his class in defeating Jimmy Britt, his last hopeful antagonist, in San Francisco, Monday afternoon, September 9. Inscribed on the Gans' pennant in letters big enough to be read by the admirers of the manly art in the fistic arena throughout the world: Gans, the Champion.
To the victor belongs the spoils: so Gans gathered in the lion's share of the ducats. He was out for glory and the shackles and Dame Fortune encircled his brow with the chaplet of victory and filled his pockets with the shekels.
Twelve thousand spectators saw the star of Jimmy Britt, the Californian idol, go down to defeat in his battle with the wonderful black gladiator, Joe Gans. After Britt's seconds saw that there was no hope nor help for their man, they must have counselled him to throw up the sponge by feigning a broken arm. However that may be, Gans won, Britt lost, and we are proud of the results.
It will be sometime to come before another can be persuaded to believe he can take the measure of this Knight of the Mit, while the referee tells ten, in the four-squared fistic circle.
SPITTING ON SIDEWALKS
The spitting or expectoration of mucus matter upon the sidewalks of this city is a grave and serious danger which is a menace to the public health. There should be enacted by the law-making body of the city an ordinance against the prevailing practice of this widespread habit which is so unsanitary, so loathsome and so dangerous in all of its bearings.
In front of cheap restaurants or eating houses, stores and saloons, where there is a great deal of hanging out by idlers, the sidewalks, as a common and usual condition, are drenched with spittle, charged with all kinds of effete matter, presenting a disgusting sight. The sidewalks belong to the people as passage ways for their use and are supposed to be kept in decent and sanitary condition, and not as cuspidors where every one may spew out his tuberculosis germs or other disease parasites for transmission to his neighbor. There are all classes of people who are opposed to this obnoxious form of filth and would be glad to see the nuisance abated in some effective way.
The city fathers could do no more beneficent thing for the benefit of public health and decency than to spread upon the city statute books a law against spitting on the sidewalks, and then see that it be executed to the letter.
POLICEMAN'S HANDY GUN.
Offenders of the law should be punished for any violation of which they are guilty. But the taking of a man's life, because he makes a break for liberty for some minor offence is, indeed, out of all proportion to reason or justice. A man was fatally shot Monday by an officer for the misdemeanor of purloining a ham and, when discovered running away, he was followed by the officer, who, claiming that he was attacked by the offender with a bar of iron, shot him in self defense, though the bullet from his handy gun struck the human target flush in the back and ripped its way
through the body in the region of the heart. There is no consistency whatever in a statement that tries to show one man advancing on another and trying to strike him can be shot by the latter in the back. If the man turned his back, as is apparent in this case, the officer had time to reflect and had no right nor cause to shoot. The law plainly and clearly defines and expresses itself in such cases, allowing nothing in favor of him who attempts or commits murder under such circumstances, having had ten seconds in which to reflect.
Men employed at the car sheds of the Nashville Railway and Light Company were eye witnesses of the inhuman shooting of Charles White by Binkley. They condemn the willful and brutal act in unmeasured terms, by the very fact they positively state that he made no attempt whatever to resist the officer. White falling, the officer stood over and cursed him and ordered him to get up and go on. White obeying started on, when he had gone but a few feet Binkley deliberately shot him in the back; he then ran and fell into one of the pits in the shed and Binkley went up to the edge of this pit and fired another shot point blank at the prostrate form of the wounded man.
The life-blood of colored men slain by officers on the smallest pretext and for the most petty offences cries to fair-minded and justice-loving men to set in motion a healthy public sentiment against the criminal acts of these armed terrorists.
Vacation is over! Monday morning witnessed the beginning of another school year with its arduous duties for teachers and pupils. There is no grander force for good in our civilization than the earnest, straightforward and conscientious teachers. If they measure up to the high standard of their lofty calling, the young people who come within the radius of their influence will receive that moral and intellectual strength which will stand them in good stead in after years.
A splendid representation left Nashville Monday night, in a sleeper over the I. C., to attend the National Baptist Convention which convened in Washington, D. C., Wednesday, September 11, and will adjourn on September 16. Many prominent in the affairs of the denomination and high up in the official circle of the Convention were among those who left. Many friends of those who were going were at the station to see them off.
OFF TO THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION.
A special Pullman car left Nashville Monday night with every upper and lower berth taken and with a special day coach attached, both cars being filled with delegates en route to the National Baptist Convention at Washington, D. C. There was a total of just fifty delegates, which included nearly every Baptist pastor in the city, together with the B. Y. P. U. Board Secretary, Secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board and a few of the employees of the Baptist Publishing House. They will spend a week in the National Capital. Some of them will make side trips to Philadelphia and New York, returning to Nashville by way of the Jamestown Exposition. This delegation, it was learned, was joined at Knoxville by another delegation, and they proceeded from there to Sailsbury, where they were attached to a special train. The Nashville delegation is accepting a conspicuous place in the Convention now in session.

A NEW EXHIBITION.
Before leaving Nashville for the National Baptist Convention at Washington, D. C., which is now in session Prof. W. G. Hynes, the wide-awake, enterprising, energetic stereopticon scenery promoter, made a unique set of slides consisting of twenty-five views of the National Baptist Publishing Board and departments. These views Prof. Hynes will place upon canvas before the large assembly of delegates now in the National Capital. It is learned that a special night will be given over in which Prof. Hynes will entertain the delegation for two hours, showing the employees in various departments at work in the publishing house. The views are made from a little book known as the National Baptist Publishing Board and the Camera, the same which was distributed so successfully throughout the United States in the past year. It is further learned that Prof. Hynes will exhibit these pictures at Jamestown and all through the South this coming winter, which will give Nashville and one its big business enterprises a tremendous send off, with plenty of good advertising throughout the United States.

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.

numbering about 4,000, about half of whom were white people.
This was by far the most successful session in the history of the Supreme Lodge. Every department of the work showed great progress, and this order bids fair to become one of the greatest powers in this country.
All of the old officers were re-elected by acclamation, showing that harmony exists throughout the length and breadth of the Order.
The representatives from Tennessee were Dr. J. P. Crawford, State Grand Chancellor; J. B. Batte, J. D. Fagala and A. W. Fite; Dr. R. F. Boyd, Surgeon General, and representative of the women's department. The next session will be held in Kansas City, Mo. 1909.

Mrs. Alex. Goodwine was the hostess of a beautifully arranged dinner Tuesday evening at her residence, Carnegie Library, given in honor of Mrs. Henly, of St. Louis, Mo. who has been visiting friends and relatives in the city. Music and games were the amusing fattures of the evening, after which the guests assembled in the dining hall and partook of a five-course menu. Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, as teastmaster, at the ending of the fourth course, offered a beautiful toast to the honored guest and hostess, which was responded to by all present. Those who accepted Mrs Goodwine's hospitality were Mrs Henly, St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. J. Blaine Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Erwin Misses Effie McGann, — Hatchett Mary L. Clark, Messrs. R. L.

SUNSHINE HOME NOTES
Miss Sylvia Moore, the bookkeeper of Sunshine Home, returned to the city after an absence of a month visiting her parents at Shawneetown, Ill.
Miss Hattie Claybrooks left for Guthrie, Ky., Monday afternoon to attend the funeral of her grandmother, Mrs. Amanda Fort.
Mrs. M. H. Flowers left Monday morning for Knoxville, where she joined her friend, Mrs. M. E. Hamilton, who will accompany her to Washington, D. C., to attend the National Baptist Convention.
The Bible Band and Workers' Conference held its weekly meeting in the office of Sunshine Home, Monday, September 9. The following subject was discussed: "Is the average Christian happy in his Christian experience? If not, why not?" the subject created quite an interest and all were helped and inspired with new zeal and enthusiasm to labor with more cheerful hearts. The second Monday in each month a collection is given by this Conference for the Day Home, and all have given very liberally to this most worthy cause, for they have, ere long, learned that it is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35.) We cordially invite any one to our meetings who desire to know more about Gods word and how to do Christian work.
CLOSING OF WEST NASHVILLE
SEWING SCHOOL.
The Sewing School that has been conducted in West Nashville at the home of Mrs. Eliza Cannon for the last five months by Miss Florence Burnett, of Sunshine Home, was closed Friday with a very interesting program. Besides the class of thirty pupils there were many parents and visitors present. After devotions conducted by the President there were recitations and songs by the pupils, followed by remarks by the visitors, among whom were Mrs. Ellen Cannon, of St. Louis, and Rev. M. Church, of this city.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the program was the sewing exhibition which followed the serving of cake and cream. Some of the articles made by the girls were hemstitched aprons and handkerchiefs. The boys did about the same work as the girls. Along with the industrial work much attention was given to religious and moral training of the children. Bible lessons and other practical instructions were given from time to time. The parents expressed their gratitude for the impressions thus made on the minds and hearts of their children, which they believe will help to develop strong character. Already there is a marked change in the children, many of them have given their hearts to Jesus and are seeking to live the new life in Christ. Much credit is due Miss Burnett for the splendid work done by this class.
TRINITY CHAPEL.
Trinity Chapel A. M. E. Church has just closed one of the greatest revivals that has ever been held in South Nashville. There were thirty-nine converts during this glorious meeting Rev. Mr. Stanford, the able pastor of the church, deserves great credit for his spiritual work.

THE FINAL.
My favorite sport, I have no song for
thee;
No condor could kiss the clouds so gray,
Yet, since we must part, I say good day.
Be good and better, and yet be clever;
Do great things and do not dream the winter long;
And so make thy aim, in the great forever,
One noble, sweet song.
The time has come when the ball and bat must be laid aside, for the ball a few times larger, but before this large ball is introduced, the Standard Giants, champions of the South, and the National Baptists, champions of the state, meet for the finish at Athletic Park Monday, September 16.
* * *
In the Ropes.
The Gans-Britt fight, from a general standpoint, was very disappointing, for it was hoped that Britt would stay long enough to be knocked down and out, but the wily Westerner was too smart; peeping into the future, he saw his finish and tossed up his sponge in the fifth round. Following is the fight by rounds.
A left swing to the body cleverly blocked by Joe Gans cost Jimmy Britt any chance he might have had to win the lightweight championship of the world Monday and brought to a close five rounds of fast fighting, witnessed by a crowd of about 14,000 people at Recreation Park. The blow caught by Gans on his elbow was struck in the middle of the fourth round. It broke Britt's wrist, and though he went on again in the fifth round, he was helpless in both offense and defense. It was not until this round that he informed his seconds of the mishap.
"What's the use of my going on? I can't fight. I am helpless," he said to Tiv Krelling. Captain of Police Gleason was notified at the ring side and stopped the fight. Referee Welch gave the decision to Gans. Three doctors after an examination stated that the injury was a fracture and dislocation of the lower end of the ulna, the innermost bone of the wrist. Whether it is a genuine fracture or not. Britt showed such intense suffering while the doctors were manipulating his wrist that the tears rolled unchecked down his cheeks.
"I was utterly helpless," he said. I could not even hold up my left hand after I broke it. I had to guard for Gans' left, and had no punches except with my right."
The fight, while it lasted, was a slugging match, but it was perfectly evident to every trained observer that Britt had no chance to win from Gans. For the first time in his life he was outmatched. Britt's lack of coolness was partly responsible for the miserable end of the fight.
From the first tap of the gong he appeared over eager. He was not content to take the advice given him by his seconds to make Gans do the leading, but he rushed headlong into quarters that developed an inequitable slugging match in which the champion had by far the advantage.
In the first round Britt staggered Gans to the ropes with a left swing on the neck that had lots of force in it. In the same round he also used left and right successfully to the body and face, but took in punishment a straight left on the nose that slowed him down.
The second round developed a mix-up at the ropes in which both men exchanged vicious rights and lefts, Gans taking the advantage.
In the third Gans followed his tactics of crowding Britt into a corner, and the Californian had his hands and feet busy working his way out. The round was even.
Gans drew first blod in the fourth witha lightning-like straight left that brought a scarlet stream trickling from the corner of Britt's mouth. It was right after this that Britt threw all of his strength into a left swing that proved his merciful undoing.
* * *
The public has from time to time had its attention called to the great fall entertainment which is to be the first half of October. Since nothing of its kind has ever been pulled off in the South, a grand time is looked for. It is the aim of the young men behind the scheme to give the people something new, hence they decided to have a Horse Show. All owners of horses and buggies have an opportunity to show the public how soft it is to be easy. The exact date and place will be announced next week.
