FRIGHTFUL WAVE OF GRIME
Sweeping Over this Community.
SEVERAL SENSATIONAL MURDERS THE PAST WEEK.
HUMAN LIFE ALWAYS CHEAP WHERE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS A NON-ENTITY—DRASTIC PUNISHMENT, UNDER THE LAW, SHOULD BE METED OUT TO REDHANDED MURDERERS—A FEW GIBBETINGS OF WILLFUL KILLERS WILL HAVE A SALUTARY EFFECT UPON THOSE INCLINED TO MURDER.
Shot and Killed by Rival.
Joe Edwards was shot and killed sometime during Saturday night, Oct. 12, and his body was found Sunday morning in the yard of Patty Ballentine, who lives at 1406 Hamilton street. He was struck by two bullets, one entering the breast and the other the stomach. It is said that the shots that ended his life were fired by Sterling Weems. The men were rivals for the affections of Patty Ballentine, it is said. Weems and the woman, it seems, were out together and were seen by Edwards, who disliked it. He followed the couple to the Ballentine woman's home and started the trouble by throwing rocks. After that act of belligerency on his part, Weems promptly brought his gun into action, which ended the earthly career of Edwards, his rival.
After the shooting Weems made his escape and has not been apprehended yet. The Ballentine woman disclaimed any knowledge of the killing, but despite that she was arrested and is being held at the police station until more can be learned of the tragedy and her connection therewith. The woman who tries to play the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde role is sure to come to grief and bring others to the same lamentable strait.
Despite the fact that some men see the double game being played by their lady-love, they persist in bing deaf to the voice of reason, hence the almost weekly sensational homicides which shock this community.
The undertaking establishment of Alsup & McGavock took charge of Edwards' remains and prepared them for burial.

Duel to the Death:
A duel to the death was fought between Ed Beard and Clarence Burnett on Saturday night, October 12, at the corner of Lewis and Winfrey streets. The men fought with knives. Each was savagely carved up, but Beard got the better of his antagonist in the fray. He succeeded in inflicting a stab wound which caused the death of Burnett in about thirty minutes. The trouble was brought on by what almost invariably lies at the bottom of all serious difficulties between men—a woman.
That was an instance where two were company and three a crowd and the crowd would not harmonize. But now there is neither company nor crowd. Burnett is dead, Beard is in jail, and the woman is abroad to accept the attention of other company. This last sentence points a tale, and were men sensible, who are disposed to wrangle over the affections of a woman who does not know whom she loves, they would consider the moral it teaches and be wise. Beard was arrested, but being too badly slashed up by the man whom he had killed, he had to be taken to the City Hospital to be patched up before being carried to the police station. Beard claimed that he had fought to death Burnett in self-defense. He was tried before Judge Baker and bound over to the Criminal Court.

Davidson County Institute.
The Colored Institute of Davidson County met in regular session last Saturday with a good number of teachers present. Prof. W. H. Card, President, was in the chair and expressed his ability to be there as being little short of a miracle, because of the cowardly attempt of a would-be assassin. He is suffering from a painful wound. Rev. Mr. Purdy was introduced to the Institute, and spoke of his Reformatory School and the good results being derived from the same. His school is located in the Boyd Building, and the teachers were invited to call in and see the work. Prof. W. C. Anderson, the Superintendent, expressed himself as being right well pleased so far with the work being done by the colored teachers over the country.
The following program is to be rendered in the next session:
Recitation by Mrs. J. E. Miller; Nature Study, by Mrs. E. W. Benton; Solo, Miss McGavock; Oration, by Mr. J. E. Hill. Fifteen minutes will be given to Superintendent W. C. Anderson. Music by Institute.
By mistake it was published last week that this Institute meets on the third Saturday; but it is the second instead.
FISK QUARTETTE IN CLEVELAND,
OHIO.
The annual Convention of the American Mission Association was in session this week at Cleveland, Ohio, and the Fisk Quartette, composed of Prof. J. W. Work, M. W. Rider, A. G. King and J. Myers were there singing for the occasion. Mr. King was in Tullahoma, Tenn., but came here to join Prof. Work and Mr. Rider, while Mr. J. Myers went there from the Exposition to join the party. It is this Association that contributes so liberally to Fisk each year. The personality of this quartette is well known to the members of the Association, as they have more than once furnished music for them.
NEW MACHINERY INSTALLED IN
THE ECONOMICAL LAUNDRY
The Economical Laundry this week installed a very large water tank which will increase its water capacity. This tank will enable it to keep on hand a plenty of filtered water which will make the washing look much better.
Another new washing machine is being installed and will be ready by the first of next week. It is one of the latest built machines, and it will show a marked improvement in the work from now on. Your patronage is solicited.*
ELABORATE DINNER TO MR. A. A.

Bennett on Friday evening, October 11, at the residence of Capt. and Mrs. J. T. Shelby, 527 Lischey avenue. The arrangements for the affair and the decorations of the house were perfect in every detail. At 10 o'clock the guests were invited to the dining room, where the following menu was served: Oyster Soup, Celery, Crackers
Oyster. Soup. Celery. Crackers.

That we tender our sincere thanks to our host and hostess for the kindness shown us this evening and also for he pains they have taken to make our dinner a success." Mr. Bennett left the city Monday night for Washington, D. C., where he will fill a responsible position in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
REV. PRESTON TAYLOR ON
WESTERN TOUR
Monday evening Rev. Preston Taylor, of the firm of Taylor & Co., left the city for the Pacific Coast. He went from Nashville to St. Louis. His route reads: Kansas City, Kans., Denver, Col., and from thence over the beautiful scenic road of the Union Pacific to Los Angeles, Cal., where he expects to spend a fortnight. From there he will travel as far up the coast as San Francisco and Oakland. This trip, no doubt, will give him much-needed rest, as he has been working unusually hard this past year, being one of the foremost business men in Nashville. He has no idle moments, and this trip is taken only after the earnest solicitation of his family and intimate friends.
Dr. Taylor stated to a Globe reporter in reply to an inquiry how long he would be gone: "
"I do not know; I am going away to see if I can get some rest. It may be that I will get back in fifteen or twenty days, and my trip may keep me thirty days; but I shall be back and will have had the rest needed, because it is my intention to give more time next year to fixing up Greenwood Park so that it will be the best in the city."
His return trip will not vary much from the one going, as he will return over the Northern road, coming through Salt Lake City, Utah, down to Denver, Col., and thence back to Nashville.
IN HONOR OF MISS BOOKER
THE beautiful and artistically furnished home of Prof. and Mrs. S. P. Harris, of Jefferson street, presented a scene of beauty on Tuesday evening, when the doors were thrown open for an evening party in honor of their niece, Miss Mattie A. Booker, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. J. A. Booker, of Little Rock, Ark.. The interior of the house, which is one of the most richly furnished in the city, was decorated with a profusion of cut flowers, the color-scheme of pink and white being carried out in the masses of carnations which filled large vases throughout the rooms. In the reception-hall stood Mrs. Harris and Miss Booker, assisted by Misses Belma Mahan and John D. Thompson, to welcome the guests. The honoree appeared in a beautiful gown of white chiffon over silk. Throughout the house the beauty of the decorations was largely enhanced by he pretty costumes worn by the other guests. Miss Booker, who is a musician of some note, rendered several masterpieces on the piano. Card-tables were in evidence and many amusing games were played. Ices, cake and fruits furnished a tempting menu, served at a late hour. Among those invited to meet the honoree were Mesdames H. A. Cameron, W. B. Vassar, J. H. Kelly, Misses Belma Mahan, John D. Thompson, Dewitt Shorter, Grayce Frank, Georgia Watkins. Ruth McKinney, Emma Shorter, Mollie Berry, Nannie Sumner, Janie Benson, Mattie Winfrey, Mary Clark, Elnora Berry, Messrs. Wm. Fox, J. O Battle, Fred J. Ewing, Wm. R. Pleas ant, S. L. Carter, Wm. Davis, J. H Kelly, Wm. A. Pitts, R. L Redmund T. F. Smith, J. N. Bowden and Wm Merrill.
PHYSICAL CULTURE AND TOM
THUMB WEDDING
The Physical Culture and Tom Thumb Wedding given at Spruce Street Baptist Church in Monday evening under the able direction of Miss Jennie P. Dunson, proved to be an overwhelming success. The Physical Culture drill, led by Miss Annie Henderson, was beautiful in every detail, ten young ladies presenting a pretty picture in snow-white robes, going through the exercises to the strains of enchanting music. After the drill, it was announced that a fashionable wedding would take place. Before the entrance of the bridal party little Miss Milberta Webb sang "I'm all for you" in a very sweet voice. Then, to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Laura Brooks, entered the ushers, numbering eight, and six bridesmaids and groomsmen, marching alternately in opposite aisles, followed by the four little flower-girls, Charlie Mai Malone, Annie Mai Dunson, Dayton Aribella Hart and Louise Taylor. Then came the pillow-bearers, Lorell Young and Annie Gertrude Thomas. The maid of honor, little Miss Mercy Leah Buckner, as were all the bridesmaids, wore a beautiful creation of tarlton, with a court-train. The groom Master Claud Toney, entered with his best man, Master Leonard Smith. Then came the bride, little Miss Alberta Thomas, attired in a white silk princess with the conventional tulle veil. Master Valda Kelly acted as the officiating divine and
used the Episcopal service. The whole affair reflects much credit upon Miss Dunson, who has proven herself untiring in her efforts to help the financial situation of her church. Quite a neat sum was realized in the selling of the tickets, three little girls running for prizes. The first prize, a gold watch, went to little Charlie Mal Malone, who led with the amount of $36; the second and third prize, gold rings, were won by little Lorell Young and Dayton Arribella Hart respectively. The wedding will be repeated at the first Baptist Church Monday night, October 28, for the benefit of that church.
CUSTODIAN AT ROGER WILLIAMS:
The appointment of Rev. A. O. Kenney as Custodian for the new Roger Williams University site and property seemed to meet the general approval of all. It became necessary to put a Custodian on the grounds in order to protect the interest of the University and to look after the building. Then too, there are some new buildings to be erected before the opening of the school, and since Rev. Kenney is an expert carpenter and contractor, he can look after this matter with advantage for the Trustees. People wanting to see this site can also be shown through the grounds by him.
MRS. FORD RETURNS TO CHICAGO.
MRS.FORD RETURNS TO CHICAGO.
Mrs. Mary Ford has been in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. Thomas White. During her stay she was the recipient of many hospitalities. Among some of her host of friends that entertained her were Mesdames Price, Ida Jordan, Jefferson, Annie Webster, Minerva Watkins, Maria Bosley and Misses Minnie Daily and Minnie White.
Mrs. Ford joined her husband and son Sunday, where she was welcomed into her own home with many kind thoughts of her friends in Nashville, who made her stay among them the most pleasant feature of her life.
OLVIN—GAINS.
There was a quite wedding last Wednesday night at the residence of Mrs. Marie Davidson, 137 Eleventh avenue, North. There were a number of friends present. Elder Kirkpatrick, of St. John Baptist Church, performed the ceremony. Mr. John Caston Olvin is from Vicksburg, Miss. Miss Mamie Beatrice Gains is of the city. They will reside in the future at 1108 Grundy street.
PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The Teachers' Normal Meeting was held in this building on Tuesday of last week. The teachers of the entire corps were divided into classes and the work for the year was mapped out. It is the intention of the Superintendent to have all the teachers study some subject as long as they are connected with the Nashville system. This keeps their minds in a studious attitude and brings to them information that will be of use to them in teaching their classes. The High School teachers will study Chemistry, the Grammar teachers will study Test Problems in Arithmetic, and the lower grade teachers will study Primary Methods in Reading. The new brick walk across the front yard has been completed and adds greatly to the appearance of the school grounds and to the convenience of the pumps.
The High School football team, known as the Washingtonians, met their first defeat on Bennett Field last Saturday. The Fisk second team devoured them to the tune of 17 to 0. Spectators say, however, that the Pearl boys played a good game, being outclassed in weight and age. The game was an enjoyable one and no one regrets seeing it; but expressions could be heard among partisans of both teams that it is a pity that a team of nearly equal calibre as to weight, size, age and experience cannot be made up among the colleges around Nashville so as to make the game between the High School and college more interesting. The public would attend in larger numbers. This school will be decorated next week for the coming of President Roosevelt. The Principal has asked for a number of flags and 150 feet of hunting to adorn the front of the building. The windows will be draped in red, white and blue. An opportunity for a lesson in patriotism will be given by the President's visit.
The school was favored last week by a visit from the following persons: Mr. T. C. West, of the Post-Office Department; Mr. A. P. Beatty, of Fisk University; Prof. McNeal, Superintendent City School of Memphis.
Mr. Theodore Garrett, after a long spell of sickness with typhoid fever, has recovered and entered the Junior A Class of the High School.

REV. MR. JOHNSON'S RESPONSE.
"There are no sentences in the English language that can fully express my appreciation of your kindness extended to me on this occasion, but I hope in some humble way to render you further service, such as will still hold your esteem and respect. This occasion causes me to be filled with the thought of the vast responsibilities that rest upon a minister of such a metropolitan church as Clark Memorial; standing at the head of the Tennessee Annual Conference, and one of the first churches of Nashville. The intellectual, moral and religious powers should not lie dormant but should be roused with the thought that we are weighed by what we do and not by what we say. There are three great charters of the world—The Magna, The Declaration, The Emancipation. All three of these were necessities of invention that men of nations and races might be put on a level to show that all men were born equal. That among these there were rights of individual sovereignty that must be respected and regarded as an enfranchisement, that must not be trampled upon. This was in the light of the intellectual, the moral and civil premises produced from these three great charters. The leader of the Magna Charter was King John, the leader of the Charter of the Declaration was Jefferson, the leader of the Charter of Emancipation was Lincoln. These charters only refer to the civil, political and moral aspects of the world.
There is another charter of which I desire to speak to-night, and it is not a charter of reproduction but of originality, springing forth from the source of the great Sovereign of the Universe: the Charter of redemption, which makes all men equal by the appreciation of the blood of Jesus. Each of the first three spoken of will become obsolete, but the last one is eternal, and will last through all ages. Such a charter is the basis upon which Clark Memorial is founded; Christ Jesus being the Chief Corner-stone."

SHELBYVILLE NOTES.
TURNER NORMAL INSTITUTE REJOICING.
The students of Turner Normal Institute were made happy last week by the pleasant visit of two distinguished personages—Bishop B. F. Lee and Dr. W. B. Denny, of Nashville. Both made strong speeches to the students, and expressed themselves as being highly delighted at the new building and general outlook. Dr. Denny was so favorably impressed that he left a check for $50 with the treasurer to be appropriated specially for furnishing the girls' dormitory. He also expressed his intention of erecting on the campus a teacher's cottage, dedicated to the memory of a deceased daughter. This is to be done within the next year. Bishop Lee will in some like manner memorialize a daughter of precious memory.
Now the students, and general public as well, are filled with delight at the pleasing announcement that Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, the author, lecturer and orator, will deliver the first lecture of the lecture course in the new chapel next Friday night, the 18th. Every one considers President Jones as fortune in securing the services of this great man.
Rev. R. B. Ross is the new pastor of Scott's Chapel M. E. Church. He is taking hold of his work with the hand of a master. Work on a new brick building has already commenced.

THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels.

Mrs. Thompson will entertain the club this week at the Manse. Much interest is being taken in the church now by all the members.
CLARKSVILLE NOTES:
The carnival has come and gone, and following in the wake of all affairs of this month, it received a generous portion of the rains, cold and chills. A small number of people attended, and, of course, the monetary end was
meager. This city has had within the last few months any number of shows, circuses and carnivals and probably a drought along those lines would be both a benefit and a blessing. This week at one of the churches a Fall Festival is in full blast, and on Thursday night at Elder's Opera House a benefit musical for the improvement of one of the cemeteries will be given.

Neither did they go to Guthrie, nor were they engaged in the interstate commerce traffic; but nevertheless they found thmselves in durance vile just because liquor was found in their possession. That Clarksville is a dry town, and that many of her citizens will have the famous liquid is well-known history. It happened on Sunday; they were fined on Monday, and will repent the rest of the week. Such runs the first bootlegging episode.
Centrally located, next door to the Central Drug Store, and under the firm style of Central Meat Market is the new business of Jenkins & Cole. The market contains everything in the fresh meat line and will compare favorably with any other in the city.

SAMPLE OF SEA ISLAND COTTON.
A unique souvenir from Charleston, S. C., was received on Monday by a member of the Globe force. This little token came by mail in a small box addressed to Mr. H. A. Boyd, the Treasurer of the Globe Publishing Company. There was no return card on the outside of the package and no postmark visible, but upon opening the package the Treasurer found it contained five bolls of cotton; three of them had opened and their snowy white contents had burst forth in the

fullness of the season, while two were yet green and not open. With this box was a small card, on one side was the following: "Chas. B. Wickham, M. D., Phone, 1288, Charleston, S. C.," while on the other side was the following: "Sample of Sea Island cotton off a farm on John's Island. This cotton is selling at 47 cents per pound. The souvenirs are nice now, but suppose they will be dry on arriving in Nashville. Don't get homesick." Had it not been for this card one would not have known who was thoughtful enough to send this familiar sample to the Treasurer. Dr. Wickham is in Charleston doing nicely. He has performed two very successful operations in the hospital at Charleston. He is resident physician and, in fact, has already become one of the most prominent physicians and surgeons of that historic city, being one among the great number of the class of 1907 that has made a record for himself as well as for the Meharry Medical College. News from South Carolina is to the effect that he is not only prominent in the professional service, but has forged considerably to the front in business and religious affairs.
NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD'S ANNUAL MEETING.
Elects Officers for the Ensuing Year and Makes the Usual Appropriation.
The annual meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board was held at their rooms in the Publishing House last week. Many of the members throughout the United States attended the board meeting at Washington, but the one held in Nashville was the Board of Management and is composed of the members in Tennessee with several executive members that usually attend. A full quorum was present. Rev. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, and Rev. G. Wm. Ward were represented by proxy. Rev. C. H. Clark, Chairman of the Board, presided. He announced that the annual election should be made at this meeting, and the following officers were elected: C. H. Clark, Nashville, Tenn., Chairman; R. H. Boyd, San Antonio, Texas, Secretary, Treasurer and Manager; H. A. Boyd, San Antonio, Texas, Assistant Secretary; Rev. W. S. Ellington, Nashville, Tenn.; Editorial Secretary; Rev. Wm. Beckham, Austin, Texas, Field Secretary. Other important business was transacted. Secretary Boyd informed the Board of the absolute necessity of looking after the new machinery, enlarged quarters, as well as the scarcity of experienced help. Rev. Wm. Haynes, a member of the board, advanced the idea that things were getting tighter in financial circles; therefore he would advise close observation of the financial interests of the institution.
ANNUAL SERMON TO BENEVO
LENT ORDER
At the First Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon the annual sermon to the Benevolent Order was preached by Rev. J. W. Luckett, pastor of Jackson Temple C. M. E. Church. The members of the society were out in full force, and supplemented by a host of friends from all parts of the city, filled the spacious auditorium to almost overflowing.
Several of the Grand Lodge officers were present and had seats on the rostrum. It was a grand demonstration as to the good being accomplished by the order. President Porter stated in brief the work that has been done by the order and what they hope to do in the future. The fact was clearly established that the society is far from being a body of do-nothings, but instead is composed of progressive men and women. Much has been done for suffering humanity through this society, and every member was reported to be actively engaged in this grand work. They have not lost sight of the fact that to do the most good an order must have something besides the monthly dues to strengthen the treasury, and as a result this order owns some of the best property in this city, all of which is used to one end, that of caring for the needy members of the order and helping in other charitable ways. The trustees and officers of the Order are now considering the establishment of an orphanage in the near future, and expect to locate the same so as to be able to accept those who are not children of deceased members of the society.
Dr. Luckett was at his best, and had the closest attention of his audience during the sermon. He is a special favorite on the East side, and many regrets were expressed when the doctor stated that this would probably be his last year in Nashville.
Great interest was manifested in the meeting by the members of the Order and the visiting friends. A liberal collection was contributed which was given to the church.
CHRISTMAS BOOKS AND CHRISTMAS CARDS.
In looking around for appropriate presents that will be in keeping with the times, as well as the financial con-
dition of the individual, it should not be forgotten that the latest, the most attractive, the best bound, as well as the cheapest books on the market by various authors can be had at the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue, North. Last year their record will show that they sold more of Dunbar's works, more of Chas. W. Chesnutt's books, and, in fact, more books by Negro authors, and more Christmas cards than they had ever sold in the history of the institution. The demand is so great, notwithstanding the variety covered a long list of select books and cards, they were forced to replenish their stock, yet nothing was carried over, as long before the holidays closed, there was nothing left. They have announced for the coming holidays that they have put in a large stock of books and cards, which was selected by the same excellent taste as that of last year. Those who wish to make presents in the book line and those who desire to send out Christmas cards should call and see the beautiful assortment and seize the opportunity to get what you want. Many of Mr. Dunbar's books are out of print, and but few can boast of having a full set. Such as are in print can be had at the National Baptist Publishing Board, R. H. Boyd. Secretary, 523 Second avenue, North. Telephone, Main 1236.*
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.
Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Liner entertained in honor of Mr. D. C. Marshall, of New Orleans, La., last Tuesday evening, October 8, at their residence, 414 Cedar street. Music and dancing were the features of the evening. At an appropriate hour a two-course menu was served. Among those present, Misses Helen P. Watson, Callie E. Walden, Louise Farmer, Geneva T.

PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
The marriage of Mr. Samuel White side to Miss Mattle Ezell on Thursday evening, October 10, was a beautifully arranged affair. Promptly at 7:30 Rev. Sutton E. Griggs began the marriage ceremony. The house was filled to its utmost capacity with the friends of the bride, who is a favorite of the East Side. A number of expensive and useful presents were received, consisting of silverware, china, linen, etc. Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. Bud Darden, Buena White and Mrs. L. Morris.
MRS. WASHINGTON'S VISIT.
Mrs. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala., was in the city this week. Her visit here was for the purpose of entering her son, Booker T. Washington, Jr., in Fisk University, where he will take a college course. While here Mrs. Washington was the guest of Mrs. J. C. Napier, of Capitol Square. Although her stay was brief and one of strict business, society found time to do her honor. She left Monday night for her home.

MR. AND MRS. BOSTIC ENTER TAIN.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bostic, of Seventeenth avenue, South, entertained last Friday evening in honor of Mrs. Bostic's sister, Mrs. Lula Ellis, of Oklahoma. Mrs. Ellis at one time was a student in Fisk University and has a host of friends in the city. But since she is here for her health she has not accepted much of the social side of Nashville. The entertainment, while not elaborate, was one of the most enjoyable evenings Mrs. Ellis has spent, and since the host and hostess know how to entertain, it was an easy matter for the guests to spend a pleasant evening, which was spent in enjoying music and games. Refreshments were served about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Ellis will remain over here about two weeks longer before going to her home.

A few evenings since a number of young people entertained at the attractive home of Miss Lula Grant on Heiman street, complimentary to Mr. Green Scales, of Topeka, Kans. The reception hall and parlor were brilliantly lighted, and as the merry young folks began to assemble, the ladies attired in beautiful evening costumes, a charming picture was presented, which will long be remembered. Various games were enjoyed throughout the evening, while the devotees of Terpsichore tripped the light fantastic toe. At an appropiiae hour a de

ROOSEVELT IN THE SOUTH.
The most remarkable thing about
Roosevelt's trip down the Mississippi
and through the South is the ovation
he has received from the Southern peo-
ple wherever he has stopped. Mem-
phis, which received him a few years
ago in silence and some hoodlums, it
is asserted, even went so far as to
address insulting remarks, received
him with opened arms. The city was
decorated in his honor more general-
ly than ever before in its history. The
same thing has happened wherever
Mr. Roosevet has stopped in the South.
In Nashville great preparations are
being made for the entertainment of
the President, Some of the hotheads
who were most violent in denouncing
Mr. Roosevelt on account of the Crum
appointment, the Indianola incident,
the Booker Washington affair, are now
the leaders in preparing for the visit.
Why all this change of sentiment in
such a short space of time? Are the
Rooseveltian policies more popular
than they were before? We think not,
for Mr. Roosevelt is still chasing
thieves in high places with just as
much noise as when he cleared the
Post Office of a large number of graft:
ers, His pet policy of fighting or reg-
ulating the railroads, is not so popu-
lar in this section as to make him be
received with all the glad acclaim
which he has met wherever he has
stopped. Nor can the welcome be cred-
ited to any of his policies, Mr. Roose-
velt is a shrewd politician. He felt
hurt that he, a half Southerner, should
be so severely criticized by the South
on account of such of his actions as in
the Booker Washington dinner. As
Mr. Taft says the President would
deem it one of the crowning events of
his life if he could break the “Solid
South,” that is, have a republican elect-
ed in one of the states that seceded
from the Union.
Roosevelt offended the South or the
southern politicians very grievously
by his tenacity in holding to some of
his appointments, but he has more
than regained the good-will of the
whites of this section by his actions
in the Brownsville case. Brownsville,
in fine, is the whole secret of Theodore
Rooseveli’s great reception in the
South.
4. THOMAS FORTUNE RETIRES,
As we intimated in these columns
a few weeks ago, a change has been
made in the editorship of the New
York Age. T, Thomas Fortune, whose
name is so linked with that of the pa-
per that one cannot mention one with-
out thinking of the other, has retired
to devote his time to literary “work:
It is the concensus of opinion that Mr.
Fortune's retirement was brought
about by the passing of the Age from
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1907.
the control of Fortune & Peterson to
the Age Publishing Co., a corporation,
the owners of the majority of the
stock of which were dissatisfied with
the editorial policy of the brilliant
Fortune. Though other causes are
assigned. It appeared, even before
the rumor that Mr. Fortune was to re-
tire gained currency, that influence
was being brought to bear to change
the editorial policy of the paper. The
Age, which had always bristled with
opinions—opinions so characteristic
that one could detect the personality
of “Tim” Fortune in every paragraph
—became as changeable as if the edi-
torial policy was directed by an ane-
mocracy.
From a life long implacable foe to
the use of the word “Negro,” the edi-
tor of the Age condescended to permit
the use of the word in the news col-
umns of his paper with the under-
standing that it should be capitalized.
Another change made by the Age at-
tracted a deal of attention. In an
editorial, in which a letter from a
prominent friend of Mr. Fortune ad-
vised him to quit complaining about
the injustices heaped upon the Negro
and emphasize the good things the Ne-
gro was doing and receiving from his
friends, the editor of the Age, after a
period of time equal to almost the life-
time of the average man spent in de-
fending the civic rights of the race,
announced that the policy of the pa-
per would be changed so as to accord
with the suggestions made by his emi-
nent friend.
Such a remarkable change in “Tim”
Fortune was a source of surprise to his
friends and admirers. They knew that
he had “got religion,” but did not
think that Christianity would work
such a change in a man of Mr, For-
tune's age. So they gave credit to
the report that in the reorganization
of The Age, Mr. Booker Washington
had secured a big slice of the com-
pany's stock and was trying to direct
its editorial policy. Whether Mr. For-
tune retired of his own sweet will on
account of poor health, or whether he
has been gently shoved out of The Age,
we don’t know, but we sincerely hope
that in leaving the editorship of: pos:
sibly the greatest Negro weekly in the
country, he will not be forced to say
with Cromwell:
“If I had but served my God with
one-half the zeal with which I served
my king, He would not have left me
naked in mine old age to my enemies.”
PRAISE FOR THE GLOBE.
It gives us great pleasure to publish
in these columns an article from our
contemporary, The Nashville Clarion,
in which the owners of The Globe are
praised for their success in giving to
the people of Nashville an excellent
newspaper. We appreciate these words
of commendation, coming as they do
from a paper published in our home
city, and most especially do we prize
the compliment because the editor of
The Clarion. is one of the most bril-
Mant writers the race has produced.
A young man, he has produced several
books that put him in the forefront of
students of the race problem. And,
we might add, we are not praising the
Editor of The Carion because he com-
mended The Globe.
The pleasant relations existing be-
tween The Globe and The Clarion
might be emulated by a number of
business institutions run by colored
men in this city. To those in business
we would recommend guch pleasant re-
lations as a tonic. It will help to
keep the race well. The article jn The
Clarion is as follows:
The Clarion would like to com-
mend to the Negro young men in eyery
community the example of the young
men who founded and are operating
“The Nashville Globe.”
One of these young men was a thor:
oughly practical printer, another a
shrewd business man, another an om:
niverous reader of newspapers and a
good writer,
These young men decided to com
bine their powers and to invite with
them an older man who is one of the
best proof-readers between the two
oceans,
They buckled down to their task,
chose their fields, studied the \tastes of
their constituency and sought Yo ren-
der good service,
As a result they have created one
of the most popular newspapefs, if
\ot the most popular news-paper 1 its
lm, of any paper in the as
this group of workers had con
tinued as distinct units there would
have been no Nashville Globe. But
they combined!
The Negro race throughout the
world is losing so much because of
its failure to take just such steps.
The race that fails to learn the les-
son of combination is doomed to be
a laggard race forever,
Young men, combine. Combine for
any and all worthy purposes. See that
each one fills the niche for which he is
best qualified.
Work faithfully. Treat your part:
ners fairly in all things.
Let the young men of the race fill
this prescription and take a full dose
of it and the race will get well.
The Clarion says so and it knows.
R. W. Thompson, maker of bishops
and general officers in the A. M. EB,
Church, that is, he thinks he is, re
porter of all the doings of Booker
Washington, press agent of the James-
town Exposition, Afro-American Leage,
National Business League; booster of
various and sundry big men of the
race, general correspondent, and, at
odd times, an employee in one of the
departments at Washington, is of the
opinion that the sentiment of the col-
ored press is Grifting toward Roose-
velt or Taft for President. He makes
‘the assertion that» when the Senate
Committee, which investigated the
Brownsville affair, shall have reported,
the administration, recognizing the er-
ror of its way, wili give the colored
troopers a square deal, Though we
have been unable to detect it, there
may be a change of sentiment among
the colored people as to the Browns:
ville affair. As a race we are so for-
giving that we ought to merit all the
blessings mentioned in the Sermon on
the Mount. It all depends on one’s
viewpoint. Seeing the world from a
governmental sinecure, though, is lia-
ble to color one's vision.
This cool weather causes one's
thoughts to turn towards “ ‘possum
and taters." We wonder if they have
such delicacies in Springfield, IN. We
suppose not, for we haven't heard a
word from the Forum on the subject.
COMMUNICATIONS.
(fO Fne Nashvine Globe.
Nashville is rapidly developing into
a metropolitan city. New methods are
being introduced, and it 1s apparent
to the most casual observer that new
blood is controlling the affairs of the
cify. There is no city in the South
‘that has grown so rapidly in the last
ten years and none that needs more to
be awakened to the demands of the
people along certain lines.- Thirty
years ago an electric car system like
the one here now would haye been an
inconvenience rather than a. necessity,
but to-day a stranger and even the citi-
zens here would be lost in a city of
this size without a method of trans-
portation in keeping with the rapid
march of progress.
As the city grows to be more pro-
gressive let the Negro catch the fever.
There are many opportunities open to
the young men of the race to enter in
business and make it a success, and
the young men, strong and intelligent,
must take advantage of these opportu-
nities. The Negroes catch the fever.
There are many opportunities open to

line, namely—the grocery business,
but it is high time that other lines
were being pursued.
One need that stands out pre-emi-
nently is public markets located in
reach of the people. There are good
openings for this kind of business.
A market on the East side would be
highly appreciated, and the people
could reach the same conveniently.
One market is not sufficient. It works
a hardship on home providers. An-
other could be located in South Nash-
ville, in the vicinity of Varmint Town;
another in Southwest; another in the
Central west and one in the north cen-
tral portion of the city. It would not
require a great sum of money to es:
tablish these markets, and the invest-

start if properly conducted. Dry

UNCLE JOSHUA.
A Stickler,
To the Nashville Globe:
What is a stickler? One who magni-
fies small things when such magnify-
ing serves his purpose. One who will
make a mountain out of a mole-hill for
unfair, dishonest and selfish ends,
Such men are met with in the expert
ence and dealings of every man some-
where, some how and somewhen along
the journey of his life. We meet with
the word “stickler” everyday in some
form or other in the public print. It
is a characterization anything but com-
plimentary to the person meant, There
are some men, who, in there own esti-
mation, tower above their fellows the
very Colossus of Rhodes, but, in fact,
had they the happy faculty of due pro-
portion and would measure themselves
by their dealings with their fellows,
they would see themselves minified
into very pigmies,
Too much cannot be said along this
time by way of advice and premoni-
tion, for there are many young people
just entering won the active perform-
ance of their life’s work with a bright,
promising future that nothing should
be left unsaid that will tend to brace
them up to a conscientious adherence
to right principles. Fyery year the
universities, colleges, academies, semi-
naries and high schools are sending
out well-equipped young men and wom-
en to take their places amid the busy
activities of the times. The world
needs no “sticklers," however high,
who will resort to petty methods or
sharp practices in their dealings with
their fellowmen, It has a superabun-
dance of this class in its under life
now,
A stickler is one who would my
your coat on his word and your reli-
ance upon his word and then when
the time came for settlement, after
having used it, would find some tech-
nical fault with it just to keep from
meeting his obligation. No man or
woman in possession of a right con-
science would stoop to such evasion.
The young men and women who are to
be depended upon to measure up to the
stern duties of the coming years can
not afford to be “sticklers;” that is,
they cannot afford to compromise their
honesty in trivial matters any more
than in large ones. Their personality
should stand out in as bold a relief in
one as in the other. The word of a
man or woman {fs all there is of him
or her. If one's word doesn’t mean.
anything, then back of it stand noth-
ing. This holds good in all human re-
lations; and it is one of the few rules
that has no exceptions. So it behooyeg
the young men and women who are
just beginning life’s actual, earnest
battle to guard against eyer being
identified as “sticklers” for the sake
of accomplishing selfish ends by beat-
ing some one. “Honesty,” as the old
niaxim goes, “is the best policy.” No
old saying is truer than this and none
has ever been more often yerified in
human experience than it.
Our people in many instances haye
‘been defrauded out of a just compen-
‘sation for their honest toil by “stick-
ters" who had no other. thought in
‘their mind than to get something for
nothing by a method of cayilling oyer
technicalities, It is the method of the
gambler in his gaming, Shakespeare
says that a man may smile and smile
and still be a villain: such is true of
the “stickler,” But a just sense of.
proportion will make a man cling to
the demonstrated wisdom of the prin-
ciple: “Honesty is the best policy,”

history of the Woman’s Mite Mission-

The Woman's Mite Missionary Soci-
ety was organized at the Annual Con-
ference at Payne Chapel, October 22,
1881, by Bishop J. P. Campbell, D. D.,
with Mrs. S. J. Early, President; Mrs.
Bedford Green, Treasurer, and Mrs. a.
L. Jackson, Secretary. These officers
served faithfully for seventeen years,
bringing to the annual conferences
what they could collect. Some times
they had only a dollar or a half-dollar
for each one, but they always had
something to give to gladden the
hearts of the needy preachers.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, JR., EXPELLED FROM NORTHERN SCHOOL
(Boston Post.)
Exeter, N. H., Oct. 7.—Booker T. Washington, Jr., cannot return to Phillips Exeter Academy under present conditions.
Neither can his friends, J. E. Gomez, son of a Cuban general, who left the academy in company with him.
The lads gave out the report that they left the institution because of race prejudice shown there, but Dr. Harlan P. Amen, president of the academy, denies this statement.
He says that the boys would not submit to discipline, preferring to leave rather than comply with regulations which are supposed to govern all students irrespective of race or color.
To night a message was received from Montgomery, Ala. It stated that Booker T. Washington, the famous colored leader, father of the lad, had said that his son was in New York on a business trip with his consent, and that he would return to his books in a few days.
But Dr. Amen says differently, and he is the one whose decision bears weight. After being informed by a Post reporter of the dispatch from Montgomery, Dr. Amen made the following statement:
"Under present conditions I cannot see how young Washington could possibly be allowed to return to the academy. He left it of his own free will and in violation of all rules. He showed by his conduct here that he was not amenable to discipline.
"If he had submitted to the discipline to which all students are subject everything would have gone along smoothly, but he preferred to leave the institution.
"Today I received a dispatch from his father asking if we would consent to meet Miss Washington, his daughter, some day this week in Boston and have a conference on the matter.
"We replied that we should be very glad to do so any time that might be convenient to her. I expect to hear further from her in a day or so. She is in New York at present. I believe
"Young Washington gave the affair here great publicity, and has created a large amount of talk. If his father should come to see me, as he may, or if it is left to his sister, I can tell them many things which have not been made public yet, and which I do not care to discuss at the present time.
"But I will repeat that at present I cannot see how the young man can possibly be taken back. Certainly we should require absolute assurance that he would submit to our rules here-after."
(Boston Record.)
Exeter, N. H., Oct. 8.—The hopeful son of Booker T. Washington is considered at Exeter as the very "freshest" youngster who ever entered that academy.
He responded promptly to the call for football candidates, and in a loud voice demanded that coach Hogan, the big Yale tackle, keep close watch of his action.
"You just watch me, Hogan!" said the young hopeful. "A lot of these fellows will tell you I can't play football. Well, I can, Hoban! You just keep your eve on me!"
Hogan never batted an eyelash although he almost suffered internal rupture.
"I'll do that," was all he said.
It is customary when the team goes on the field to let the captain lead the way, and when the Exeter squad came out of the training house most of the boys halted at the goal line.
But young Washington had already reached the 30-yd line, yelling, "Throw me the ball! throw me the bell!" at the top of his lungs.
The question of color has nothing to do with the state of amazement which the son of the leading educationalist has succeeded in producing.

DEATH OF MRS. LILLIAN CRUMP.
On Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mrs. Lillian Crump, wife of Mr. Crump, of this city, passed away. Mrs. Crump had been married a little over six months. She was a native of Kentucky. She was the daughter of Mr. J. E. Dickerson, one of the most prosperous and prominent merchants of Cadiz. Ky. He has been in business for more than twenty years, and is prominently connected with the Cadiz Theological School. Mrs. Crump had been in poor health almost since the beginning of her married life. After coming to Nashville she made a trip back to Kentucky with the hope of regaining health. Finally she returned to Nashville and entered Mercy Hospital. She seemed to have improved, but only for a short while. She and her husband were residing at 1000 Sixteenth avenue, North, where she was at the time of her death. The family was summoned to the bedside, and both her mother and father responded and remained until the last. The remains were shipped to Cadiz for interment by Alsup & McGavock. The deceased was a prominent member of the Second Baptist Church of Cadiz Ky., of which Rev. W. H. McRidley, D. D., is pastor.
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1907
FUNERAL OF MRS. ELLEN
CHURCH.
The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Church last Monday afternoon at Tabernacle Baptist Church was attended by a large number of relatives and friends that completely filled the edifice. A beautiful tribute was paid her memory by the pastor of the church and also by those who assisted in the ceremonies.
Mrs. Church was a member of Miriam Household of Ruth which was present with a large number of the Order, and performed the beautiful burial service of their organization. Mrs. Church contracted typhoid fever some five weeks ago which consumed her vitality, until Saturday, when she passed away peacefully, maintaining consciousness and expressing abiding faith in her Savior to the end.
The funeral was in charge of Hon. A. W. Johnson, the new undertaker, whose skillful embalming and perfect service received unstinted praise from the family and those who saw the deceased dressed as a sleeping bride on a lovely ashes of rose couch. The cortege was large and magnificent, showing the popularity of the deceased.
A PLEASANT STAG.
Nashville has had numerous stag parties, but seldom has there been a more highly pleased assemblage of men at one of these social functions of this character than those that enjoyed the hospitality of Messrs. Hiram Harding and Joseph Mahin at a stag supper, given at 1518 Phillips street last Monday evening. The hosts had exerted every effort to make the occasion a peasant one for the few of their many friends who were invited and success crowned their every effort.
The house was very tastefully decorated for the occasion. The decorations blending very pleasantly and effectively to give in both the parlor and the dining room an impression of the beauties of autumn. A musical program consisting of the latest popular songs was rendered, being participated in by several of the guests with instrumental selections by Mr. Sterling Austin. Throughout the serving of the supper, selections were given on a phonograph, which added much to the congeniality of the happy guests. With all the accustomed grace of experts, the ladies who served the toothsome viands accomplished their work. The occasion will not soon be forgotten by those present nor will the hospitality of the hosts. The following menu was served in eight courses:
Black Coffee. Salted Almonds.
Fruit. Cigars.
Those present were Messrs. J. A.
Holbrook, J. O. Battle, H. M. Harding,
W. D. Peters, Edward Kennedy, John
H. Lovell, Samuel T. White, W. H. P.
Thompson, Sterling Austin, Joseph
Mahin, Emmet Sims.
MONTHLY RELIGIOUS SERVICE.
The inauguration of the monthly service at the Meharry Auditorium, in which the students from all departments of Walden University are to unite in one general service took place at 11:00 o'clock in the large Auditorium on First Avenue, South. Last year the services were first begun, and it seems that they were so helpful, so popular, and so generally enjoyed by the student body as well as the citizens that Dr. Kumler, President of the University, and Dr. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry Medical College, decided to continue them in the future. The second Sunday in each month has been set apart for the services, while the hour has been fixed at 11:00 o'clock. It is the intention to have the leading ministers of both races and all denominations to address and preach to the students at this hour.
The first to receive an invitation and to respond to the same for this occasion was Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL, D., Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board. He preached at 11:00 o'clock last Sunday. He is extremely popular with the student body and as a result all of the entire enrollment was present. There was not an available seat in the spacious Auditorium at ten minutes past eleven, when Dean Hubbard announced that the services would begin. The Walden choir, under the management of Miss Mamie Braden, rendered music for the occasion. Dr. Boyd spoke for forty-five minutes, taking for his text, "What mean ye by these stones?" (Joshua 4:6.) His subject was "Old Time Religion." He took the practical view of the religion of to-day; paid and held tribute to the faith and obedience of Joshua, and compared the children of Israel with the Negro of to-day, declaring that the unborn generation among the Negroes would certainly ask, "What mean ye by these stones." The music had been carefully prepared. Mr. Miller's base solo was perfect. A marked improvement in the music was noted from that of last year, not
withstanding the short time in which the school has been in session. At 2:15 p.m. the Sunday school was held in Thompson Chapel, and at 3:00 o'clock the Y. M. C. A. held their meeting in the Auditorium. Next Sunday Bishop Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., will address the Meharry Y. M. C. A. at the main Auditorium. The program for the year for the Y. M. C. A. as well as the University has been carefully arranged.
ENTERTAINED.
Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Simmons, on 159 Warren avenue, entertained on Monday, October 14, in honor of their sister and niece, Temple Johnson and Jennie Mae Thompson. Dancing and games were the pleasures of the occasion. Later in the evening ices and cake were served. Those present were Mises Lottie Grady, Nettie Lewis, Mae White, Leona Marshall, Temple Johnson, Jennie Mae Thompson, Mrs. Violet Johnson, Mrs. Bessie Simmons, Messrs, Charles Walker, Chas. Johnson, William Beard, Ernest Walker, Fletcher Simmons, Felix Littin, Simpson Black, William Luscomb.
SOCIAL GATHERING
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ward, of 625 Bass street, entertained Sunday, September 29, from 5 to 7:30 p. m. the following guests: Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Ransom, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Perkins, Mr. and Mr. P. A. Washington, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Harlin and Mr. and Mrs. J. Maddox. At 7 o'clock the guests were invited into the dining room, where a menu of two courses was served with ices. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Harlin.
LECTURE.
Bishop Tyre will lecture to the Y. M. C. A. in the Meharry Auditorium next Sunday, October 20, 1907, at 3 o'clock p. m. We expect a good meeting. The public is cordially invited to be present.
COMMUNICATIONS.
(Continued from Page 4.)
At Columbia, Tenn., October, 1897, the society was reorganized. Mrs. J. A. Davis was chosen President; Mrs. S. R. Reid, Secretary; Mrs. G. L. Jackson, Treasurer. Under this administration some local Woman's Mite Missionary societies were organized and we began having conventions.
At the convention at Franklin, Tenn., 1905, Mrs. Evans Tyree was elected President; Mrs. Thomily, Secretary; Mrs. Hightower, Treasurer. Mrs. Tyree put her prayers, her time, her energies and her mite into this work and great was the result. A large number of Woman's Mite Missionary societies were organized in the churches. Many special sermons and services were held. Many persons were helped and encouraged. A large number of the struggling missionaries and preachers received aid from our treasury. Several souls were brought to Christ by the work, prayers and influence of the women. This work was carried into the homes of our people and many a happy meeting was had in the sick room and with the aged. Mrs. Tyree is an untiring worker and we feel that now as Honorary President she will be just as faithful, untiring and helpful. Under Mrs. Tyree the Woman's Mite Missionary Society reached its highest mark, $137.87. At the convention at St. John, 1906, Mrs. M. A. Haigler was chosen President. The convention at Lewisburg, 1907, selected Mrs. G. L. Jackson.
Since we come back to Payne Chapel October 31, the first time in twentysix years, and since this is the twentysixth anniversary of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society, we all feel that we ought to make some little demonstration. Hence this anniversary card which we hope will meet a hearty response and full co-operation.
oct., 1881-oct., 1907.
The Twenty-sixth Anniversary of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society in Tennessee:
Dear Friend:—In behalf of the laboring and sacrificing ministers in the various mission fields we earnestly appeal to you to bring to the annual conference all the mite missionary money you can possibly raise. We desire to have two hundred dollars to distribute for the relief of needy preachers.
Mrs. G. L. Jackson, President.
Mrs. M. S. Peyton, Secretary.
Under Bishop Lee's administration some of the missionaries have received as much as fifteen dollars from this society. This is a long step from a dollar or half-dollar when we first started. We hope to be able to do more at this conference than ever before as this is the twenty-sixth anniversary and the close of Bishop Lee's administration, and the day has come for us to do more for our missionaries. Bishop Salter's administration closed with $53.00, W. M. M. money. Bishop Tanner's with $105.87. Let us come to the $200 mark this time, the close of Bishop Lee's.
St. Paul Woman's Mite Missionary Society is coming with the best W. M. M. report ever brought from that charge. The ladies of St. Paul are very much in earnest about the matter.

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.

A Kick-out is a drop-kick, place-kick or punt made by a player of the side which has made a safety or a touchback.

scrimimage, and puts it in play by kicking it forward or snapping it back. The scrimimage does not end until the ball is dead. The Line of Scrimage for each side is an imaginary line parallel to the goal line and passing through that point of the ball nearest the side's own goal line. Section 4. A player is Off-side when the ball has last been touched by one of his own side behind him.
Section 5. A Fair Catch is catching the ball after it has been kicked by one of the opponents and before it touches the ground, or in similarly catching a "punt-out" by another of the catcher's own side, provided the player (except in cases of punt-out, where no signal is necessary), while advancing toward the ball, signals his intention of making a fair catch by raising his hand clearly above his head, and does not take more than two steps after making the catch.
It is not a fair catch if the ball after the kick was touched by another of the catcher's side before the catch.
The mark of the catch is the spot at which the ball is actually caught.
Opportunity to make a fair catch is where the player is in such a position that it would be possible for him to reach the ball before it touches the ground.
Section 6. A Down occurs when the Referee blows his whistle or declares the ball dead.
The Referee shall blow his whistle or declare the ball dead:
(a) When a player having the ball cries "Down";
(b) When any portion of his person, except his hands or feet, touches the ground while he is in the grasp of an opponent;
(c) When he goes out of bounds; or,
(d) Whenever he is so held that his forward progress has been stopped;
(e) When, on a forward pass, the ball, after being passed forward, touches the ground before being touched by a player of either side. Section 7. A Touchdown is made when the ball lawfully in possession of a player is declared dead by the Referee, any part of it being on, above or behind the opponent's goal line. The Touchdown is marked at the point not where the ball is carried across the line, but where the ball is called "down" by the Referee, and if the ball is carried across the extension of the side line, is marked at the point where the side line crosses the goal line.
Section 8. A Touchback is made when the ball in possession of a player guarding his own goal is declared dead by the Referee, any part of it being on, above or behind the goal line, provided the impetus which sent it to or across the line was given by an opponent. The Referee shall declare the ball dead behind the goal line just as if it were on the field of play.
It is also a Touchback when a kicked ball (other than at kick-off or a place-kick or drop-kick passing over the cross-bar) goes over the goal line either on the fly or after striking the ground (before being touched by a player of either side.
