ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
WILL BEGOME A REALITY, IF INDICATIONS ARE TRUE
As Based Upon Information.
AUTHORITIES OF THE TWO BODIES MOST CONCERNED, THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OF TENNESSEE AND THE AMERICAN HOME MISSION SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, GOT TOGETHER LAST WEEK AND ELIMINATED THEIR DIFFERENCES-A PAYMENT ON PROPERTY MADE-UNIVERSITY A PROSPECTIVE ASSURANCE.
The last barrier that stood between Roger Williams University and its future, so far as the University being located in Nashville is concerned, was removed this week. The officers and authorities of the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, and the Home Mission Society of New York, through their representative and agreements with the owners of the new site, came to an agreement, and judging from what is learned from authoritative sources, a payment was made, and the newly appointed trustees have been placed in authority of the property. Notwithstanding the closet secrecy has guarded every movement of the state board, which has been meeting almost weekly, and which has been joined by the Alumni Association, these facts leaked out. And it is known positively that at the last two meetings held, the University is now a fixture in every respect, and Nashville, as well as the state of Tennessee, can rejoice that again one of the most historic and well known institutions of learning in the South will soon swing wide its gates, giving pupils access to a magnificent and beautifully located campus on the banks of the Cumberland River, overlooking Nashville, and open its doors, giving admittance to class rooms and recitation halls. Hardly any piece of news received recently will add more pleasure and give more satisfaction to the citizens at large than this.
The trustee board as assigned, consists of the following: Rev. Wm. Haynes, Chairman; Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, Secretary; A. M. Townsend, M. D., Treasurer; Revs. C. H. Clark, E. M. Lawrence, J. L. Harding, G. B. Taylor, W. S. Ellington; J. Bandy, M. D., of Nashville; Rev. J. R. Evans, Milan, Tenn.; and Rev. Peter Vertrees, Gallatin. Tenn.
Thus the institution will begin its management with eleven trustees, all of whom are as ambitious, as patriotic, as loyal and as determined to make the old university under new management a greater success than ever before. While these eleven trustees are just selected, it is understood that this number will be increased as the school grows, and that various sections of the state will be represented on the board.
The contributions and the assistance financially that has been received since the movement to re-establish the school was begun, has been kept securely in the One Cent Savings Bank. The committee on management and the Alumni Association agreed long go upon the plans for raising money, and upon this as a depository. The exact date of the opening of the school has not been decided upon, but one of the new trustees and an active young man in Baptist circles, stated that it was the intention of the trustees to open school not later than November 1, but that he could not place his name above the statement for publication. More than a half dozen students arrived in the past two weeks with the avowed purpose of entering Roger Williams, and when this fact became known it quickened and encouraged the movement toward the opening.
COSTLY PRANK.
The foolish pranking of an old man known as "Uncle Mitch" with a rattlesnake last week cost him his life. The snake was the property of a saloonist who had been pranking with it. Seeing this, "Uncle Mitch" was simple enough to try to imitate the owner. His snakeship did not take kindly to this new Josher, and resented by fastening his deadly fangs in
NASHVILLE, TENN.. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907
the old man's hand. The poison injected into the old man's blood immediately began its deadly circuit through his body. He was taken to the City Hospital, where he was treated. But Uncle Mitch's age was against him and he soon passed to his account, the victim of his own folly.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Mr. Jesse L. Leach, one of Pearl High School's candidates for the varsity football squad, received a very painful injury last Friday evening in a practice against the High School's old stars by the dislocation of his left shoulder.
Mr. Leach has been confined to his bedroom for the last few days unable to attend his classes at school. His physician, Dr. J. T. Wilson, thinks he will be able to be out in a couple of weeks.
Mr. Leach hopes to be in his harness before the game with Summer High School, of St. Louis.

STORY OF A FAMOUS HYMN.
A popular hymn is Theodulph's "All glory, laud and honour," belonging to the ninth century, and said to have been written by the poet while in an Angers prison.
The author of "Hymns and Their Makers," quotes a legend in relation to its use on Palm Sunday, 821, to the effect that when Louis the Pious, King of France, was at Angers, he took part in the usual procession of laity and clergy, and as the procession passed the place where Theodulph, the Bishop of Orleans, had long been incarcerated he was seen standing at the open window of his cell, and there, amid the silence of the people, he sang this hymn, to the delight of the King, who at once ordered him to be set at liberty and restored to his see. In some minor details this legend is referred to by other writers as well.
The original is too long to be sung in modern services, as it has no fewer than seventy-eight lines. The verses usually found in our hymnals are but a fragment of the original hymn, which, with more or less abbreviation, has been used as a processional for many centuries.—Exchange.

MR. AND MRS. H. G. DWIGGINS,
OF KANSAS CITY, KANS.,
AMONG HOME-COMERS.
Among the thousands of "Home-
Comers" who visited this and other
cities of Tennessee last week there
was probably no one who enjoyed the
return to the old home more than Mr. H. G. Dwiggins, of Kansas City, Kan.
Mr. Dwiggins was accompanied by his
wife and little daughter, and while
here they were the guests of his
brother, Mr. D. Dwiggins, who,
together with his congenial wife, made
it very pleasant for his brother and
family. It was a delightful scene to
see the two brothers together, and
during the time they were here few
hours passed that "Meady." as the
popular hotel keeper is familiarly
known, was not in the company of his
brother.
Quite a happy incident occurred when Mr. Dwiggins paid a visit to the National Baptist Publishing House. While passing through the building he came upon an old friend whom he had not seen for thirty years in the person of Mr. David Davidson, and they had a happy reunion. They indulged in pleasant chats about old times and made an engagement for Sunday, when they could take a little stroll over the portion of the city Mr. Dwiggins used to traverse when a boy, and when they reached the spot where he used to live, Mr. Davidson pointed it out for him, but it was a new place entirely. Where stood the cottage that sheltered him in those days now stands a beautiful modern structure.
On Wednesday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Dwiggins entertained their brother and sister at their home on Seventeenth avenue, North, with a very beautiful reception. The affair was one of the grandest social events of the season and the occasion of the Home-Comers" among the Negroes of Nashville has not witnessed a more enjoyable time during the week. Their home was beautifully decorated with palms and ferns and potted flowers.
Mrs. H. A. Cameron conducted the following programme:
Vocal Solo .....Mrs. D. A. Hart
Instrumental Duet ......
Dr. and Mrs. Hadley
Paper—"How to Cultivate a Taste for Music" .....Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins
Vocal Solo .....Mrs. H. A. Cameron
Instrumental Solo .....
Those present were Mrs. Carrie Dickerson, Mrs. W. H. McGavock, Mrs. W. H. Allison, Mrs. Sallie Thompson, Mrs. Henrietta Parker, Mrs. Sarah E. Venable, Mrs. Harry Douglass, Mrs. Sophia Bains, Miss Lena Boyd, Mr. L. M. Wyatt, Mr. Peasley Jackson, Mr. R. Hardiman, Mr. Geo. W. P. Johnson, Dr. S. M. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bentley, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. E. Simms, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Turner, Prof. and Mrs. H. A. Cameron, Prof. and Mrs. Wm. Royster, Prof. and Mrs. E. D. Richmond, Prof. and Mrs. Wash Graves, Dr. and Mrs. C. O. Hadley, Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Moore.
After the programme refreshments were served and then all mingled for a while in conversation before parting for home. Every one expressed themselves as having enjoyed a very pleasant evening, one which would not soon be forgotten.
Mrs. Cameron was at her best, and the manner in which she did her part was a splendid exhibition of her ability in such affairs.
On Friday night Mr. M. D. Dwiggins entertained his brother at a "stag" over his hotel on Fourth avenue, North. A very delightful evening was spent. Mr. Dwiggins with Mrs. Dwiggins and their little daughter, left last Monday night for their home in Kansas City, Kans.
MISS FRIERSON HONORED.
A delightful afternoon was spent at the residence of Mrs. P. Bells, of 1309 Jackson street, on last Friday evening in honor of Miss Ally Frierson, of Columbia, Tenn. Those present were Misses Johnnie Mai and Ally Powell, Bessie and Ethel Frierson, Josephine Andrews, Cassie Dodson, Corinne McGavock and Ally Frierson, Messrs. J. Clemons, E. Frierson and W. Morris.
EXCELLENT REPAST.
Miss Mollie Thompson, of 315 Eighth avenue, North, gave a dinner Friday evening in honor of Miss Tempie Johnson and Jennie Mae Thompson, who left Saturday for Chicago. From that city they will go to Florida, where they will reside in the future. Games were the feature of the even
ing. The menu consisted of lamb roast, stuffed potatoes, salmon salad, scalloped eggs, chicken, beaten biscuits, ices, cake and watermelon.
REPORTS OF THE HOME MISSION AND NATIONAL BAPSTIST PUBLISHING BOARD.
The twelfth and eleventh annual reports of the Home Mission Board and National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention, are no doubt the largest in many respects made by two boards or denominations identified with, and controlled by the Negreres in the United States. The Secretary of these two Boards has his headquarters in this city. He has been at work as no other man has worked in Nashville. His report shows that he has built up two magnificent boards. The first part of the report shows the Home Mission Board and its work. It contains, first, the members of the Home Mission Board from each state in the Union, and then goes on to take up the work done by this Board in the past twelve months. It shows an expenditure in the last twelve months of $42,576.96. All of this has been spent on home fields for salaries of missionaries, tracts, Bibles, church edifice funds and for the spreading of the Gospel at our door. The next part of the report is a little more voluminous and gives a better idea of the work done right in Nashville. It has added so much to the commercial of the city, furnishing, as it does, employment to so many skilled laborers, coming mostly from the schools and colleges of this city. The Publishing Board and the Home Mission Board combined show a receipt for the fiscal year beginning August 31, 1906, and closing September 1, 1907, of $160,152.14. These receipts by quarters for the year are certainly interesting. Not one quarter in the year has the receipts fallen lower than $22,000. It shows further the amount of mail received yearly by the Board. The total number of letters received and answered last year was 273,181, but the most startling part of the report is the enormous circulation of the Sunday school periodicals. For the fiscal year just closed, the Secretary shows that 10,233,422 copies of Sunday school periodicals were mailed out by his concern, while the year before there were but 9,006,756, which shows a gain in one year of over 1,000,000 in circulation.
The future of this institution is not only encouraging to their denomination, but is beginning to be looked at by the citizens of this city as one of the prominent establishments that will continue to give more employment as it expands. Dr. Boyd, the manager, in his report, shows that at a recent meeting of the Board, arrangements were perfected by which about $20,000 worth of machinery is to be installed, and with the new building already completed and with the repairs contemplated on another, the establishment will be by far the most creditable in the city of Nashville. The report is printed and distributed in pamphlet form, and consists of thirty two pages, giving a clear insight to the workings of the Board in the past twelve months.

DR. JAMES BOND HONORED
WITH MAGNIFICENT RECEPTION BY FRIENDS.
Monday Night, September 30.
MANY TOASTS IN HIS HONOR— HANDSOME GOLD WATCH PRESENTED AS TOKEN OF RESPECT. DR. BOND'S INFLUENCE IN THE RELIGIOUS, LITERARY AND SOCIAL LIFE OF THE CITY DISTINCTIVELY REFINING, UPLIFTING AND HELPFUL—HE GOES TO FILL A LARGER SPHERE— GODSPEED FROM HIS MANY FRIENDS.
Eleven years of arduous and consecrated pastoral work in the city of Nashville under circumstances that have not been the most encouraging, and of which the most pleasant memories are embedded in the bosom of the Rev. James Bond, D. D., in which he has builted well the membership, the reputation and the extensive Christian influence of the Howard Congregational Church, closed Monday night at twelve o'clock. Many are the sad hearts not only in this church, but in the city of Nashville at the loss of Dr. Bond, who left Nashville to take up his new duties at Berea, where he begins the Herculean task of building the foundation of the new Berea College. For two weeks extra preparations were made for the entertainment and for the last Sunday of Rev. Bond, but a new feature arose and a new entertainment was inaugurated whereby many expressions could be had from friends of Dr. Bond. It was a reception given in the Sunday school room of the church on Thursday night. Fully a half hundred men and women were present to do honor to the occasion and to the distinguished minister. The program was neatly arranged, as was the entertainment, by Dr. S. S. Caruthers. It was 9 o'clock when the guests, all seated around the festive board, heard the announcement from the toastmaster, Dr. Caruthers, who called on the following gentlemen for toasts:
Opening Remarks. J. E. Miller; Dr. Bond as a Citizen, R. L. Mayfield; Dr. Bond as a Pastor, J. O. Erwin and Mrs. P. H. Burrus; Dr. Bond as a Minister, J. C. Napier; Dr. Bond as I Know Him. Rev. G. W. Henderson; Remarks, Prof. Willistons; Remarks. A. N. Johnson; Dr. Bond as a Writer, H. Allen Bovd; Dr. Bond as a Man, S. W. Crosthwait.
The evening was growing late when the toastmaster announced that Rev. S. E. Griggs would be the last to speak on "Dr. Bond as a friend," after which the Rev. Mr. Griggs gave by far the most interesting address of the evening. He made many beautiful illustrations on the life of the retiring pastor as he knew him, and wound up by presenting him a beautiful gold watch. The inscription on the watch read, "From members and friends of Howard Congregational Church."
Those who contributed to the watch were J. O. Erwin, R. Harrison, J. C. McCov, J. N. Lee, Thos. Davis, Sam Peyton, W. B. Vassar, Rev. G. W. Henderson, Dr. E. B Jefferson, Dr. R. F. Boyd Marshall Cheetham, Wm. Nichols, P. W. Adams, Rev. S. E. Griggs, Dr. H. T. Noel, J. H. Crawley, R. E. Crawlev, J. L. Lav. H. A. Cameron, C. N. Langston, Hardy Keith, D. W. Crutcher, E. R. Carney, Mat Young, J. E. Miller, Dr. S. W. Crosthwait, H. H. Wright, R. L. Mavfield, J. S. Martin, Rev. Preston Tavlor, Rev. Geo Moore, J. P. Rhines, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, T. Clav Moore, Rev. I. J. Edwards, D. A. Hart, Rev. J. H. Welch, Rev. W. S. Ellington, P. D. Streator, Prof. D. Williston (Fisk). H. Allen Bovd, Rev. R. H. Bovd, J. C. Napier, A. N. Johnson B. L. Hendry, B. H. Grav.
On Sunday the crowd that visited the church and listened to the farewell sermon of Rev. James Bond, was by far one of the largest in the history of the church. Dr. Bond preached one of the ablest sermons ever heard from the pulpit, selecting as his text "Stand fast in the faith, quit yourselves like men be strong."

Dr. Merrill also spoke and declared that he had listened to one of the ablest addresses he had ever heard. He paid a glowing tribute to the retiring minister and said something of the new pastor. The collection for the evening brought the total collection for the day up to $249. It was announced beforehand that Howard Congregational Church only owed $289; so before Dr. Bond severed his connection as pastor of the church, this amount was raised and paid on the indebted-

PROGRESSIVE SEWING CIRCLE.
The sewing circle under the management of Mrs. Carrie Young and Miss Sarah Jones, both members of Mount Olive Baptist Church and teachers in the Sunday school, promises to give the public the benefit of the excellent work being done by the young members of the circle. They already have several beautiful quilts to put on exhibition, and in doing this they will have a couple of nights of entertainments in the near future. This organization has for its purpose the looking after of the neglected little ones. Those who need shoes, clothes and a little word of encouragement are to be especially cared for. Mrs. Young and Miss Jones were met on one of their missionary tours Monday. They stated to a Globe reporter that they had been in many needy districts of the city on that day and attempted to supply the wants of a few neglected children.

The Sunday school raised $39 and Hon. John Bell Keeble $30.
On last Sunday night a committee met at Sylvan Street Baptist Church and turned the above amount over to the Field Secretary, Rev. Wm. Haynes.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907
MADAM LULU JORDAN.
Prominent among the women of our race is Madam Lulu Jordan, milliner, of Pulaski, Tenn., who is now residing in our city. At an early age her heart went out in sympathy with the women of her race, and she decided that whenever an opportunity presented itself she would travel and teach the art. With fourteen years' experience at home she decided to take a course at one of the Northern millinery schools. She went to Philadelphia and completed the course under Madam Gartland. She afterwards spent several weeks in study in Chicago. She has had a deal of experience with the wholesale houses which is equal to a course of training. She is now planning to take another course in some of the latest fads in millinery, for she realizes that the milliner is successful who keeps abreast with the times, not only by continual practice but by information obtained from the leading millinery journals.
Madam Jordan had a contract in the spring with one of the leading wholesale houses in the South, furnishing
MADAM LULU JORDAN
employment to nearly thirty girls. She is now much enthused over the French system of flower making which is an accomplishment attained by few of the women of her race. This system enables one after making the hat to make the flower with which to trim it. She hopes in the near future to establish flower factories in the leading cities of the South. She had hoped that more of the young women would establish millinery parlors after completing the course; but so for her dream has not been fully realized, for very few of her students have launched into business other than as teachers of millinery classes.
Madam Jordan is not only accomplished in millinery, but in artistic needlework, wax flowers, etc. She possesses more than ordinary business qualifications. She is genial and modest, with a disposition which has won for her a host of friends wherever she has gone. She has taught millinery in the North and West as well as through the Southern states, even as far south as Florida. She is now considering a call to Texas. With such excellent preparation for the work she deserves the patronage of her race everywhere and we predict for her a brilliant future.

CARMACK'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
Factional troubles in the democratic party, which was on the verge of a split in the last election for Governor, will be still further complicated by the candidacy of Edward Ward Carmack to succeed M. R. Patterson, the present executive head of our state government. It was thought that when former Gov. Robert L. Taylor put a quietus upon the fiery Carmack's senatorial career, that gentleman would be retired to private life. But Carmack refuses to be placed upon the shelf. He is now out for revenge and, incidentally, if he can succeed in defeating Patterson, he will be in line to succeed Frazier at the next election of the United States Senator from this state.
The issues upon which these two democrats will appeal to the members of their party for the nomination have not as yet been announced. But whatever the issues a deal of bad feeling is liable to be engendered in the party before the nomination is made. Carmack possesses a faculty for saying mean things, while Patterson is no slouch at the same business. So, in the event there is a vigorous campaign, there will be a large disaffected element in the democratic party no matter which gentleman wins the nomination. The contest will make the republican's chances exceedingly bright for electing the next Governor of the state, unless the same assassin policy is pursued that was followed in the last gubernatorial election.
OUGHT TO BE DEFEATED
The municipal campaign in Cleveland, O., is attracting more than ordinary attention, because President Roosevelt has thrown the weight of his influence to the republican candidate in order to defeat Mayor Tom Johnson. Johnson, reputed to be a millionaire, has been heretofore almost invincible because of his great fight to compel the street railways of Cleveland to give a cheaper and better service. Realizing Johnson's great strength with the masses, the republicans have nominated Theodore Burton, one of their strongest men and a representative of the Cleveland district in Congress. Burton, who is one of, if not the strongest representative of Ohio in the lower branch of Congress, acting upon the advice of President Roosevelt, accepted the nomination.
This interference of the President in a purely local election is considered highly obnoxious by many of the citizens of Cleveland and especially is this true of the colored voters. Burton is one of the leaders of the opposition to Foraker in the state of Ohio and it is thought that his candidacy against the strongest democrat in the state is but an effort to obtain control of the republican organization, in
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907
the event he is successful in his contest with Johnson, and oust Mr. Foraker from the senatorship. Foraker is the idol of the colored voters of Ohio and unless Burton states positively that his election will in no way endanger the senior Senator's election he will receive few votes from the colored wing of the party.
In fact, since Mr. Burton is the administration's candidate, the colored voters of Cleveland ought to defeat him and thus show their disapproval of the course pursued in the Brownsville affair. Let the Negroes of the North in the cities or states where they hold the balance of power show to the republican party that they will not vote for anything labeled "republican," regardless of the policies pursued, simply because Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves, and that party will soon do something to ameliorate the conditions of which we as a race complain, other than putting a few vote-catching clauses in its national platform.
Secretary Taft's address at the banquet given in his honor at Tokio is a sample of the same diplomatic utterances voiced by his chief, President Roosevelt, in one of his many messages to the last session of Congress. It was made principally for foreign consumption, and doubtless he hopes, as a "Secretary of Peace," to allay the resentment felt by the Japanese on account of the San Francisco and other anti-Japanese troubles of the Pacific Coast. Just what effect the friendly words of Mr. Taft will have upon the Japanese only time can tell, for that nation has a habit of thinking for its self and acting upon its own conclusions.
The dirty campaign made by Vardaman in his effort to beat John Sharp Williams in the recent primary election in Mississippi is bearing fruit after its kind. The "red necks," as the poorer whites are called in that state, have become so imbued with the idea of their superiority to any other race or nation that not content with beating and lynching Negroes, they have begun to beat and drive from various communities Italian laborers. It is a pity that some foreign power cannot send in a few soldiers and clean out some of the lawless gangs of that state without embroiling the rest of the country in war.
Gee Whiz! The amount of copy Teddy is turning out these days upon almost every conceivable subject shows the quiet summer vacation was devoted to something other than pitching hay! He must have what the school boys call a "pony."
The Rev. Dr. Morris, of the National Baptist Convention, doubtless realizes how Moses felt when he returned with the Ten Commandments and found the Israelites worshiping the golden calf.
We are to have a real horse show. My! but we are progressing. If we keep it up we will soon be having big scandals in high life just like the white folks.
COMMUNICATIONS
Shall We be Represented in Receiving
Nashville, the splendid city, through which flows the beautiful Cumberland, crowning more hills than Imperial Rome which sat in her palmiest days in the far off past upon her seven hills by Tiber's wave and from her throne of beauty ruled the world, is soon to be the hostess of President Roosevelt. This will be the biggest event of all the big events which have taken place here during this year.
As the colored people of this community compose a large per cent. of its citizenry, will they be allowed representation on the committee of reception or in the ceremonies doing honor to the noted visitor? Or if not allowed representation on the committee referred to above, will they be permitted on their own initiative to have a committee of prominent and representative citizens to indicate their respects for his visit. Mr. Roosevelt, as President of the United States, is President of all the people, colored and white, at least it is so writ and nominated in the bond (Constitution) as Shylock would say. If this is true then it stands to reason that when
ever the President enters the gates of any city in this country all citizens should have the right to pay their respects of honor to him as the executive head of the Nation. None should be debarred from an exercise of this privilege, if they so desire it.
This city is called by people in this section of the country the "Athens of the South," owing to the fact that it is the seat of many notable institutions of learning among which are the well-known universities, Fisk and Walden, and the celebrated Meharry Medical College. These institutions have hundreds of young men and women within their walls who are being educated and prepared for the uplift of their people when they shall have finished and gone out to take up their life's work among them. These young men and women will represent the best thought, tact and talent of their times; they will be the home-makers, the educators, the business factors, and consequently the race-builders in the coming years, and anything which will contribute to encourage and inspire them to their highest and noblest efforts will also be contributing indirectly to the betterment of the civic life of the nation. If each of these schools were allowed a student representative to help make up a citizens' delegation or committee, would that not make a lasting impression for good upon the student-life of each of these institutions? Yes. It would be an impelling incentive to high endeavor, influencing the students to act well their part. It would be a deserving tribute of goodwill toward these institutions which are doing so much to prepare men and women for the greatest usefulness. The city would do itself much credit to assign a place on its program for a delegation of some of its worthy colored citizens to pay their tribute or respects to the President. This would evince the fact that it is interested in all of its people. Nothing would reflect more favorably upon the peaceful and civic conditions of this community.
Now the question confronts us as a people. Will we sit supinely by and make no effort to be represented in the reception of the President or ascertain the reason why we cannot? We should not let the opportunity go by of finding out our status in this matter, and then accuse the powers that be of objecting to our being represented upon mere assumption. There is yet time to ascertain whether or not we can have a part in honoring the President, and let this be done. It is our right and we should know absolutely whether we will be granted it or denied.
Nashville counts among its colored citizens some of the ablest men belonging to the race—a bank president, splendid business men, lawyers, doctors, orators, writers and publishers, many of a high order and national reputation in their respective fields of efforts. Let us meet this coming event as befit men. JADESEE.
Mud-Throwing.
To The Nashville Globe:
It certainly grates upon the ear of the casual observer to note that on each possible opportunity a certain gentleman, hardly known beyond his own confines, takes occasion to attempt the mud-throwing process at Booker T. Washington by saying, "Institutions keeping such men, especially institutions whose children are part and parcel of the make-up of Tuskegee, can well speak to that young (?) man." Dr. Washington has friends who dislike this pernicious custom, which seems habitual. There is now a certain institution in Georgia losing prestige because of an attempt to seek notoriety by this route. Discretion and common sense are sometimes valued as more than book learning.
AN OBERVER.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 2, 1907.
We are very anxious for the readers of The Globe to know about Fairfield and those who are its inhabitants. A few days ago I subscribed for the paper and was so delighted with it that I began to lay plans to gather in subscribers in this place.
The Fairfield school stands in the lead of the many country schools in Bedford County so far as concerns the rural districts. Of course, the schools in Wartrace and Bellbuckle are in incorporated towns and may be classed with the best of the state.
Nearly all the colored people of Fairfield are property-holders. Mr. Patton Scruggs owns a beautiful home in the central part of the town; Mr. George Singleton owns a fine residence about one-half mile southeast of Fairfield; Messrs. D. Martin, Edward Cowan, Saml Murray, David Lane, Thad. Carney, P. and A. Armstrong, Jas. Green, Geo. Streeter, W. Streeter, Mesdames M. B. Mosely, H. Mosely and many others that space forbids to make mention of own their own homes and raise their own produce.
A revival of religion has just closed and the results are gratifying,—thirteen souls having been converted. The meetings were under direction of the Womac Brothers, the evangelists, assisted by Rev. John Batey.
We will close out at cost and below cost all Spring and Summer clothing for men and boys, also underwear, shirts, hats, men's, ladies' and children's shoes.
Don't forget the children's school suits and shoes.
We are sole agents for W. L. Douglas' shoe $3.50 and $4.00.

These persons visited every 'class room and listened to the children recite. All expressed themselves as highly pleased and greatly surprised at the rapid progress the school has made.
Miss Anna Mayberry, a member of the senior class, has returned from her summer school and entered Pearl. She reports a pleasant and profitable session.
Miss Edwina Smith, a member of the Middle Class, is entertaining Miss Callie Beasley for a few days. Miss Beasley enters Fisk University next week.
Mr. Leonard Parkes, who was President of the Board of Education at the time Prof. F. G. Smith made his address to the Board and graduating class, in which he asked that Manual Training and Domestic Science be introduced into the school, paid the school a visit this week.
Mr. Parkes requested that Prof. Smith's recommendation be adopted and took real and active interest to see that the school got what the principal had asked for. He spent much time in these new departments and addressed the boys and girls. He told the girls that Domestic Science was not intended to make cooks of them, but to prepare them to take care of their own homes better. Your reporter is of the opinion that Mr. Parkes is one of the best members the Board of Education ever had. When President, he visited every colored school and became acquainted with a great many of the teachers. Napier School owes its existence in part to his vote and his personal influence and energy.

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.

WOMAN AND THE CHECK.
A woman stepped up to the window of the paying teller in a Denver bank Tuesday morning and pushed a check through the grating. It was for $4. "Put your name on the back, please," said the teller. She did so.
"Is this your name?" he asked.
The woman sighed. "Yes," she replied. "that's my name. It calls for $4, doesn't it?"
"It does," said the teller.
It does, said the teller.
While the man in the cage was looking the check over the woman fumbled in her handbag and then placed a five dollar bill before him.
"Take it out of that." please," she said. "It seems to me I'll never get through paying bills."
For a moment the teller was puzzled. Then he realized that the woman didn't understand the check. "You don't have to pay me, he said; "I have to pay you $4."
He pushed her back her five-dollar bill and gave her $4 in silver. The woman was very much surprised. "You have to pay me?" she said. "Why, I thought it was a bill and that I had to pay it."—Denver Post.
WALDEN UNIVERSITY OPENS ITS
DOORS.
Wednesday morning of last week Walden University opened for another year's work. Judging by the number present at the opening and the number already matriculated, it looks as though the year will be a prosperous one.
President Kumler made an interesting talk to the students along the line of the school rules. There were four things he impressed them with: Cleanliness of soul, of body, thought and tongue. Dr. Hubbard, the Dean, impressed the students with the thought of temperance and the use of tobacco. The new members of the faculty, Prof. J. A. Zeller, A.M., LL.B., It. H. D., teacher of science; Miss Harriet E. Boss, Ph.B., teacher of English Literature. The fifth grade will be under the instruction of Prof. Hill, A. B., teacher of chemistry; Miss Laura A. Wright, Ph.B., will have the sixth grade. Dr. J. E. Wells was introduced. She will be the physician. There are fully four hundred students in school this year, including medical, dental, pharmaceutical, nurse-training and literary departments.

hens football ane at Meharry for
ie season of 1907 is very bright, for
the fact that ‘the new Imiterial shown
up so far is @ husky. bunch of. young-
sters. They are hard, rugged looking
fellows, and have shown up well in the
preliminary workouts. The men are
out with Capt. Dobson every after-
noon, going in the usual hurry-up
style. The preliminary work has been
of a light character; consi8titig of pass-
ing, falling on the ball and running
through signals. Scrimmage will be-
gin very soon. The rgoters were over-
joyed to see the old. stars—Phillips,
Allison, Dickerson and Capt. Williams
of last year—back in camp. Nothing
has been heard from our fast left half,
the “Terrible Terry;” but it is hoped
he will be found in harness soon. The
hardest schedule of the red and black
is to be played this season. Manager
Landry bas already arranged to play
Tuskegee and Talladega, also our an-
nual game with our old time rivals,
Fisk. The boys are determined to
twist the Tiger's tail this season. All
of the old men seem to be in grand
form and faster than ever. The meth-
od this year is strictly after the “up-
and-at-em” style,
There are a few positions to be filled
this year, and by. fast men. The for-
ward pass is to be used greatly this
season, and requires very accurate
men to execute it. Capt, Dobson says
he intends having the best team in the
history of the yed and black—even
better than the 1905 bunch, under Capt.
Ford. The rooters are with him and
pledge their support. Manager Landry
seems to he on to his job and is a hard
worker, He means that the boosters
shall see the®best teams of the South
in action during the season of 1907.

AN ELABORATE BANQUET.
Seldom if ever has there been a
eathering of men in this city in which
there was such a display of wit, of
forensic ability and bonhomie as that
which met in Harding Hall last Fri-
day night to do honor to Mr. H, M.
Dwiggins, of Kansas City, Kans,
Seated about the festal board, with a
most tempting supper, served with all
the frills and furbelows of fashion, yet
with that precision that is known of
first-class caterers, the occasion was
one that will long be a bright spot in
the memory of every one present,
Dr. R. H. Voorhees was toastmaster
and it seemed as if he had a penchant
for picking orators who in language
more flowery than than which ever
‘proceded from the mouths ofthe most
polished speakers known to history,
voiced the welcome of the assembled
hanquetters to .the guest of honor.
Renconteurs there were and they added
more zest to the banquet than even the
sparkling champagne which was
served with the other drinks. Many
of the guests responded to toasts and
Mr. Dwiggins made a very appropriate
reply, which held the closest attention
of all present. Those present were
W. H. McGavock, M. D. Dwiggins, P.

NEW OFFICERS APPOINTED IN
THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Tt has been announced that the va-
canay in the Endowment Board of the
Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias,
caused by the death of Prof. .W. L.
Cansler, has been filled by the appoint-
ment of Prof. A. T. Hill, of Pulaski.
The position of Secretary of the En-
dowment is one of the most impor-
tant in the Grand Lodge and since
the death of Prof. Cansler, who had
held the office since this jurisdiction
had assumed the management of the
endowment, speculation has been at
white heat as to who would secure the
plum, While there were many aspir-
ants, the friends of Prof. Hill, who
know of his ability, were able to land
him.
The appointment of Prof. Hill to
the Endowment Board will cause
another change in the personnel of
the Grand Lodge officers of the Or-
der. Previous to his appointment
Prof. Hill was a Grand Trustee. His
promotion left a vacancy in the Trus-
tee Board which was filled by the ap-
pointment of Mr. gohn Cunningham,
a member of Stringer Lodge, No. 6,
this city. This appointment, like that
of Prof. Hill, will give satisfaction te
a large majority of the membership of
the Order throughout the state. Mr
Cunningham has long been indenti
fied with every movement that tende¢
to build up his individual lodge anc
benefit the Order in general. He i
| conservative, yet is so endowed witl
progressiveness along rational busi
{ness lines that he will undoubted];
| prove a tower of strength to the Gran
| Trustee Board. The Endowmen
| headquarters will probably remain a
HORSE SHOW
A Worthy Undertaking--En-
terprising Young Men of
this City Make AnEf-
fort to Pleasé
the People.
“Old Home Week” was thoroughily éi-
icyed by Nashville and the“‘home-com-
ers” and it ts natural that the pleas-
yre-loving people should begin to lok
for the next occurrence. In other
words, it is like, human nature ate
always looking for fomattiing ter;
or to ask yourself “What next?” Nash-
ville is enjoying an unprecedented
period of prosperity, This is true in
many respects, and especially is it
true among the people that constitute
this great commonwealth just ndw.
‘One writer has said that “When it
vains, it pours” and another that
“Troubles never come ae naa
‘That this is true, no one denies or will
attempt to dispute. The same thing is
true, it is often said, about blessings.
‘They nevet.come single-handed. When
‘this remark is made and when it is
applied to the pleasures and the ar-
rangements for pleasure being made
for the people of Nashville, it should
be taken into consideration that it
strictly refers to the coming society
event heralded each week and, posted
in magnificent placards “Coming ‘Horse
Show and Negro Carnival.” That this
will be one of the greatest society
events that Nashville has ever known
is well demonstrated by the interest
already manifested on the part of we
old and young, the rich and the poor,
the society as well as the business
men. No better time could have been
selected than the present date which,
it is learned, will be October 7 and 8.
Many people have said that owing to’
their work they were not able to at-
tend celebrations in the day time. The
management of this first horse show
and Negro carnival appears to have
taken advantage of these obstacles and
contentions. Their unique arrange-
ment to have this carnival and horse
show pulled off at the beautiful Ath-
letic Park on Monday and Tuesday
nights, is certainly taking precaution
for the benefit of those unable to at-
tend during the day. Their program
will include the two nights. Arrange-
ments have already been made, so it
is learned, to have the well known
park beautifully lighted.
Precautions and preparations, too,
have been made in case of bad weather
to protect all the ladies from the storm
or rain, as well as the cold. It would
be a discredit to the management of
the Athletic Association of Nashville,
consisting as it does of some of the
most enterprising young men of the
city, to not give proper notice and at-
tention to this coming event, as they
have furnished from time to time
amusements for the whole people.
Their football games, their baseball
contests, as well as their carnival last
year, have already brought out their
ability to furnish entertainment. Some
well known features, as well as persons
are noted on the program. The big
parade each-day will no doubt be one
of the largest drawing cards, and when
this is over Nashville will have en;
joyed its greatest and most entertaif-
‘|ing event of the season. The horse
owners of this city have never had an
| opportunity before to display their
,| beautiful stables and magnificent rigs.
‘Tennessee is not a mean state, and does
‘| not take a second place for thorough-
.| bred horses, and Nashville being its
_| capital is easily in the lead. Some of
.| the men here enjoy the reputation of
.| having as fine a breed as can be found
»| in the state. Dr. Noel, Dr. R. F. Boyd,
1| Mr. J. C. Napier, J. B, Kennedy & Son.
,| J. S. Martin & Co, Boyd & Battle, and
e| & score of others too numerous to men.
t| tion have as good a breed of horses as
e|can be found in the United States. Ne
.| doubt these with a host of others wil
o|cnter in this first show and carnival
4| The indications are that as summer
goes from us, and fall enters, thu:
o| closing the out-of-door season, it wil
e| be stamped more indelibly upon th
f|minds of the lovers of out-of-doo
r-| sport. s
