OF AFRICAN METHODIST EPIS GOPAL CHURCH Will Begin Its Sessions Wednesday, October 31. PAYNE CHAPEL IN EAST NASHVILLE WILL ENTERTAIN THE CONFERENCE—DELEGATES TO BE ELECTED—MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. The Tennessee Conference of the African M. E. Church will convene in this city at Payne Chapel, East Nashville, October 31. Bishop B. F. Lee, D. D., of Wilberforce, O., will preside. Special interest attaches to this session, as it is the winding up of the present quadrennium, and the delegates to the General Conference, which meets in Norfolk, Va., next May, are to be elected. Rev. Wm. Flagg will entertain the coming session. He and his congregation have been putting forth their best efforts to have everything in readiness when the gavel falls next Wednesday morning, and to this end they have succeeded admirably well. The church has been renovated and presents a comely appearance. Homes have been secured to accommodate all who attend the sessions. Dr. Flagg is untiring in his efforts to make it comfortable for his guests. Every pastor of an A. M. E. Church in Nashville is now getting ready to receive the conference. The election of delegates will probably be held Friday. This will be the storm center of the session. There are candidates galore. Not more than six are to be elected, and there are as many as twenty-five candidates. Dr. T. W. Haigler and Dr. D. W. Denny are prominently mentioned in Nashville They are both able men, and would represent Nashville creditably at the General Conference in May. Rev. H. L. P. Jones, Presiding Elder of the Shelbyville District, is a strong candidate and may lead the delegation. In the Columbia District are Dr. J Q. Johnson, Presiding Elder, Rev. G. R. Norman of Mt. Pleasant, S. L. Howard of Columbia, D. W. Wells and T. W. Hampton, of Columbia. The man receiving the highest number of votes is the recognized leader of the delegation, and all the candidates are seeking this honor. Bishop Lee will be the subject of many congratulations upon the great work accomplished in the interest of education during his regime. Under his leadership a new college site has been purchased at Shelbyville and a new two-story building erected, containing twenty-seven rooms, including a girls' dormitory, chapel, recitation rooms and dining hall. Considerable attention will be given to the subject of education and much interest will center in the report of the President. Dr. J. A. Jones, formerly the pastor of St. Paul, this city, has been at the head of the school during three years of Bishop Lee's administration. The institution has made marvelous progress during this period. Turner Normal Institute was born within the bounds of the Tennessee Conference, hence this conference feels a peculiar interest in the school, although it is now a creature of the three conferences, all of them contributing liberally toward its support. Dr. W. B. Denny is the largest donor to the college of any individual at one time. This promises to be an interesting meeting from many points of view, but locally the appointment of pastors will predominate especially so far as concerns the members of A. M. E. churches. No church in the city, it is believed, will ask for a change, but rumor has it that some will be made. Bishop Lee is a very resourceful man, and is always looking to the interest of his churches. His administration has marked a great epoch in the history of African Methodism in Tennessee. There is a movement on foot to have him returned for another quadrennium. Mrs. J. L. Cheatham, of 819 Eighteenth avenue, South, is able to be out again after a few days of illness. NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1907. DOCK A. HART ENDORSED. Quarterly Conference at St. John A. M. E. Church Favor Him For Secretary of the Sunday School Union. The fourth quarterly conference of the St. John A. M. E. Church was held last Monday night. Dr. I. H. Welch, the presiding elder of the Nashville District of the African Methodist Church, preached Sunday morning and night. The session on Monday night was a very busy one. Every department of the church was well represented. At the close of the regular business, Dr. Haigler, the pastor, stated that he desired to ask for Mr. D. A. Hart, who was aspirant to the secretaryship of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, the [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. endorsement of the quarterly conference. He made a motion to that effect which was seconded. When the question was put the conference voted unanimously to endorse him for the position. Mr. Hart said he thanked the conference for the honor and could not appreciate the same any more if it had come from the highest conference in the Church. He said, "For if you who know me could not have this confidence in me, the Church at large could not. I will ever remember this expression from you, and whatever success I may attain will be largely due to your endorsement here to-night." Mr. Hart is at present general foreman at the National Baptist Publishing Board, and manager of the Globe Publishing Co. He served his apprenticeship at the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, and has made the publishing of Sunday school literature a special study. MISS PATTON PASSES AWAY. The remains of Miss Minnie Lee Patton, who died in Harrisburg, Ill., Thursday, October 17, reached here last Saturday morning and were conveyed to the residence of Mrs. Sara Page, Harding street. Miss Patton was a teacher in the county schools here for a number of years. She went to Harrisburg several months ago to visit her relatives and while there became ill with heart trouble. Her sister, Miss Ora Patton, of Texas, was sent for and was with her when she breathed her last. Miss Patton was a young lady of a charming personality, which won for her a host of friends. She was a consistent Christian and was a member of the choir of the First Baptist Church, from which her funeral took place last Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Ellington. Loving friends sent many beautiful floral designs. The pallbearers were Misses Ruth P. McKinney, Laura Stump, Mamie Brown and Mary Pet way. The body was interred at Green wood Cemetery by the side of her fos ter-mother, who died only a few months ago. Minnie Lee Patton was born December 11, 1881; died October 17, 1907. Age 25 years, 10 months, 6 days. She was reared by an aunt, who died the 1st day of last March. Since that time Miss Patton worried quite a deal and her heart became affected, causing her death. She professed religion about four years ago and lived a true Christian. During her illness she used to speak of her pastor and church. She called her relatives and friends to her bedside and said, "I am not afraid to die. When the general roll is called, I'll be there." BISHOP TYREE LEAVES MONDAY FOR HIS FIELD OF LABOR IN OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS. Will Hold Six Conferences Before Returning Home. DISTINGUISHED PRELATE HAS ACCOMPLISHED GREAT THINGS DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION— $10,925 RAISED IN GREAT RALLY FOR PAUL QUINN COLLEGE, WACO, TEXAS. On next Monday morning at seven o'clock Bishop Evans Tyree will leave for Oklahoma and Texas to begin the winding up of his second quadrennium as a bishop in the African Methodist Church. In May, 1900, the General Conference of his church saw fit to honor him with the largest vote ever given to any man by that connection for the high position he now holds, and after the excitement had subsided, and the new bishop had had time to reflect, it dawned upon him the greatness of the honor conferred and the magnitude of the task before him. He was seen to be making his leisurely walk out one of the streets of historic old Columbus and to pause as if to meditate for a moment. Afterwards it was learned that he uttered a short prayer while standing there that has followed him these seven years of hard, consistent labor. His colleagues had done all they could do, but to cope with the situation he felt that he was not able without help from an invisible source, and, with tears streaming down his cheeks, he made this request of his Creator: "Lord, make me a bishop." Whether or not his request was answered can best be told by the results achieved. Bishop Tyree's first Diocese consisted of the states of Arkansas and Mississippi. He found the work there in fairly good condition except as to the educational institutions. Shorter University in Arkansas and Campbell College in Mississippi were sorely in need of funds and were barely able to keep their doors open. Four years under Bishop Tyree these two institutions were put in excellent shape, the conferences in the states raising from $8,000 to $10,000 annually for educational purposes. The last General Conference saw fit to change his diocese and hence sent him to take charge of the work in Oklahoma and Indian Territories and Texas. Oklahoma and Indian Territories then contained one conference each, the only difference now being that the two territories are considered as the state of Oklahoma; Texas has four conferences. Paul Quinn College, at Waco, Texas, was the most in need, and being the largest in his diocese and one of the oldest in the connection, Bishop Tyree turned special attention in that direction. When he returned home a few weeks ago he had just closed his fall rally for educational purposes in Texas, and she has raised this year in Texas $10,925 for Paul Quinn College. Two rallies were held; one in the spring and one in the fall. In the spring he raised $5,300.25; in the fall, $5,534.15; he contributed $25.00, and when he reached Pine Bluff, Ark., Mr. Wm. Clark, whose wife is a student of Paul Quinn College, and who kindly took an agency to raise means for the school, met Bishop Tyree and reported $65.60, which he had forwarded to the treasurer of the school, which footed up the total amount stated above. The people of Nashville and the state of Tennessee are exceedingly proud of this brilliant son, and are deeply interested in his success. Men in every diocese of his church are asking that Bishop Tyree be sent to them for the next quadrennium, and his many friends hope for him great success in his work soon to begin. Mrs. Tyree will accompany him the entire trip, and while away will visit her son Rev. Herman Tyree, who is pastoring in Texas. ENTERTAINED THEIR PASTOR. The ladies of Third Avenue Baptist Church surprised Rev. J. L. Harding last Tuesday night with a grand reception at the church. A luncheon was served and he received many valuable presents. RUMOR GROUNDLESS. Dr. Haigler Replies to the Statement in the Banner—Has no Inten.... tion of Leaving the Ministry. I have no intention of resigning the pastorate of St. John, or resigning from the ministry—I am an A. M. E. minister, and my appointment will be fixed by my Conference. The statement in the "Banner as to my future intentions, is false." "Et falsus in uno, falsus in omnes" (False in one, false in all.) I am a candidate as a delegate to the General Conference, but I wont put a straw in a brother's way to defeat him; it must come by fair play—merit and worth should win. That article in the Banner is a dangerous blow at the pastors of St. John and St. Paul as well as the congregations, endeavoring to lessen or weaken the dollar money and other Conference claims, for my telephone has been ringing constantly, and let DR. T. W. HAIGLER, Pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church. ters and notes asking is that Banner statement true? My answer was no; it is false. Even some of the members of St. John have called at my office, others at my residence desiring, to know why should I change my mind, my work, etc., that they will not pay their Conference money if that is true what they saw in the Banner. I said no; an enemy has opened his heart, and desires some to fail and others to win. No true preacher would dare to write an article like that; only a medler and a false prophet, an instigator of trouble and confusion. That article was calculated to injure both pastors and congregations, and to launch forth the selfish desires of a wolf in sheep-clothings, nothing more, nothing less. The writer had better been praying instead of advertising falsehood. NO EXPLANATION OF MYSTERY OF FALLING MIST OR RAIN. "There is nothing new under the sun," once said Solomon, the reputed wisest of men. However that may be, the fact remains that at intervals along the pathway of time there have been mysterious happenings which have baffled the understanding of men, and which by no known process of reasoning could furnish satisfactory explanation. One such mystic occurrence is now mystifying the people of and around the quiet little town of Glasgow Junction, Ky. Last May a strange and sensational murder was committed there, Van Smith killing his half brother, Bill Bartley. The murder created a great stir at the time, but after Smith, sent up for a long term of penal service, was taken to the penitentiary, the last chapter in the affair was supposed to have been finished, but not so. Recently a strange thing has been discovered which revives the whole bloody crime. A mist, heavier than dew and almost amounting to rain, is falling upon the very spot where Bartley was murdered and this mist or rain has been falling continuously since it was observed and how much longer no one knows. This weird phenomenon has created almost as great a sensation or excitement as did the original crime. The falling of this mysterious dew or rain is being witnessed daily by all the countryside and other chance passers by. Despite Solomon's asseveration the people who have witnessed the strange sight of a rain falling continually even on clear days only upon the spot where a human life was blotted out in a tragic manner, think otherwise, or, at least, this mystery is new and inexplicable to them. Mr. and Mrs. Silas Perkins, formerly of Marshall street, has moved to their new home, 1215 Welker street. No. 42. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S VISIT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF ALL GLASSES Welcome Him in the Most Enthusiastic Manner. CITY PROFUSELY DECORATED WITH NATIONAL COLORS PRESIDENT MADE ELOQUENT SPEECH AT RYMAN AUDITORIUM AND AT THE TOMB OF ANDREW JACKSON. President Roosevelt has made his visit to Nashville. The man who has challenged the admiration of his fellow-countrymen and electrified the world with his masterly statesmanship, has come and gone. He reached the city Tuesday morning, Oct. 22, at 9 o'clock scheduled time and was met by the reception committee of the Board of Trade whose guest he was. There were but three hours in which he was to do many things and no time was lost in getting into action. The occasion was a great one, and long before the President was to pass through the principal business district of the city, the streets along the route were lined and packed with one dense mass of humanity. To the outpouring of the teeming thousands of the city's population, colored and white, were added other thousands from the country and every hamlet, village and town adjacent to and surrounding this busy mart of commercial activity and center of learning. Every doorstill or other thing that would furnish a footing to raise one so as to see above the heads of the surrounding sea of people was taken advantage of. It was a time when height counted for much in the way of seeing. The route over which the President passed was profusely decorated with red, white and blue artistically wrought into different forms, and Old Glory, large and small, was everywhere in evidence. Also here and there along the route were pictures of the President. The President was received by the waiting thousands all along the route with wild bursts of applause and enthusiasm. He was the object of all eyes. He met the glad acclaims of the people with a graceful wave of hat, or a vigorous wave of the hand which indicated the strenuosity of the man for which he is so universally known. As he stood in his carriage, turning from side to side, acknowledging and reciprocating the people's patriotic welcome, he looked every inch a prince of men. The sight of this capable man of national and world affairs was not only an object lesson to the white boy to put forth his best efforts to meet life manfully, but also to the colored boy to bend up his best energies to round out a useful life bravely and courageously. No teaching is greater or more effective than teaching by example, and this visit of the President and the honor shown him have put more inspiration and more hope into the hearts of colored boys as well as white boys to make the most of their chances than the reading of whole volumes describing the doings and achievements of his strenuous life. Seeing and hearing his words of wisdom will have a wholesome effect upon men and women as well. The President at Ryman Auditorium made a short but vigorous and eloquent speech in which he made a plea for the protection of the colored American in his rights which was cheered to the echo by the colored people who were present. The sentiment of which plea, it is hoped, will be followed by himself when he gets back to Washington in restoring the brave colored soldiers who, though innocent, suffered by his hasty ill-advised order. After the President left the Auditorium and on his way out to the Hermitage, he passed by Pearl High School on Fifth avenue. South, where the puils, neatly dressed, were drawn up by the faculty to cheer and wave their welcome and adieu to him. As the automobile was speeding by he arose and responded heartily by waving his hat to the rousing salute given him by the enthusiastic pupils and teachers. 2 PARADE BANNERS F. C.

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. They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices.

More Room for the Baptist Publishing House. A permit was issued last week by the building inspector of this city, which gave permission to the Baptist Publishing House to put a second story on the building next door, which has been partly occupied by them for some time. It is the building in which the editorial secretary, Rev. W. S. Ellington, and the field secretary, Rev. Wm. Beckham have their offices. This building will be remodeled, enlarged, and a second story added. The first floor will be used as a mailing room, counting rooms and shipping department, with the sales department on the same floor; while the second story will have the offices of the field secretary and the editorial secretary. There will also be provided a beautiful chapel, which will be fixed up as a church. When this is completed the Publishing House will move their chapel and counting rooms from the third floor in the building across Locust street, at the corner of Second avenue, which they have occupied for the past four or five years with the B. Y. P. U. Board. There are numerous improvements going on at the Publishing House and several new pieces of machinery were delivered there this week. Among them was a new folder, feeder and a new press feeder. They also installed another 45-horse power engine. A concrete floor was laid in the press-room of the three-story building just completed. Windows are being cut in the front building and a concrete walk is being laid for the south side approach. When all the improvements under way are completed there will be an expenditure of about $25,000, $20,000 of which will be spent in machinery, the remainder in improvements in the building. Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe reporter that he intended to make these improvements and then get down to work for the next ten years. CHRISTMAS BOOKS AND CHRISTMAS CARDS. In looking around for appropriate presents that will be in keeping with the times, as well as the financial condition 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. Chestnutt'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.* PAYNE CHAPEL AND ITS HUS TLING PASTOR HAST AT IT. Thursday morning next the Tennessee Annual Conference will begin its session at Payne Chapel, Ramsey street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, East Nashville. Bishop B. F. Lee, A. M., D. D., of Wilberforce, Ohio, will preside. Monday night last a great host of the lady members with a few brothers with brooms, scrub brushes, scouring mops, soap and what not, met at the church and gave it a thorough cleaning. The pastor and his wife and daughter were in the crowd, and all worked together like children, each one vicing with the other to see who could do the most. The work was opened with prayer and closed at 10 o'clock with the benediction pronounced by the pastor. Monday night next the great bean contest will come off under the management of Dr. Bright. One load of coal will be given away to the one guessing the correct number of beans in a sealed jar. The ladies of the church are working hard to get the pastor's Conference suit ready by Conference. Wednesday afternoon they carried the pastor to the tailor and had him measured from head to foot. The young men of the church headed by Messrs. G. R. O. Grady, W. F. Davis, Joseph E. Matthews, Arthur Taylor, Samuel Turner and Robert Martin are working to present the pastor with an overcoat. Dr. Flagg should feel proud of such a membership. Rumor has it that Payne Chapel will hold on to its pastor and risk no chances. Next Sunday is Dollar Money Day and Pastor's Salary. WEDNESDAY EVENING MUSICAL CLUB. The Wednesday evening Musical Club met at the home of Miss John Thompson, 1305 Demonbreun street, October 19, at 3:30 p. m.

In the death of Mrs. Sylvia Simpkins, who was possibly the most widely known hotel woman in the South, there is a vacancy that will not be filled very readily. Mrs. Simpkins was the proprietor of the Simpkins Hotel at Guthrie, Ky., and had run this hotel at for the past twenty-five years and was possibly one of the most unique persons in the South. Guthrie is located just on the state line of Kentucky and Tennessee. The L. & N. at this place goes in four different directions. Therefore many transient guests stop over at Guthrie, waiting for one train or another. They always found a warm welcome and comfortable lodging place and hospitable reception at the Simpkins Hotel. Mrs. Simpkins was a member of the Baptist Church, while her husband, Mr. Simpkins, was a member of the Methodist Church, but there was no denominational strife between them. Their union was one of peace and harmony, and the ministers of all denominations found a pleasant retreat and a comfortable home at their hostelry. At the funeral there were scores of prominent ministers from four different states. Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., of this city, who is well known by the family and who had stopped with them often during the past fifteen years, had been summoned over the long distance 'phone to be present He conducted the funeral service. The question was asked at the services, "Who would be a friend to the traveling ministers, as the deceased had always been?" She was not only a friend to the ministers, but to the so-called "hobo" element. She was never known to refuse to give a meal and often without money and without price. She fed the unfortunate. Mrs. Simpkins leaves a host of friends. At there funeral there were present distinguished citizens of both races, as she had spent most of her life in and about Guthrie. BIG RALLY FOR ROGER WILLIAMS. It is anounced by Rev. C. H. Clark, a member of the Roger Williams trustee board, and the treasurer of the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, that on the afternoon of the second Sunday in November, a big rally has been set, the proceeds of which are to go to install heating apparatus in the building which is on the grounds of Roger Williams University. This rally will take place on the grounds. There was built a spacious as well as beautiful building on the site which was to have been used as a club house. This at present will be the main building of the University. And the movement now is to put in such heating apparatus as will make the building comfortable. The rally that is set will give the public an opportunity to see the grounds and take in the beautiful location. Every church in Nashville has been invited to participate. Every minister and ever citizen will be urged to contribute something, no matter how little or how THE U. C. M. E. CONFERENCE. M. B. BISHOP C. M. T. SPRATT. Fanny Taylor Restaurant. FINE LUNCHES.

The South shows a supersensitive- ness at times concerning the so-called “dnsurmountable barrier,” the color line and its application that is sim- ply ridiculous, It forgets that the portion of America south of the Mason and Dixon Line is a very small part of America and would try and force its ideas upon the whole world. A ease in point is that of Bishop Henry Potter, of New York, who gave a din- ner in honor of a brother bishop, the Rey. Dr. Ferguson, a Negro mission- ary of the Episcopal Church to Afri- ca, The function occurred in Rich- mond, Va., and, being in a Southern town, has grated harshly on the easily wounded feelings of this section. The criticism of Bishop Potter is really ludicrous and besides is full of inconsistency. The distinguished prel- ate has doubtless always arrogated himself the right to invite to his table whomsoever he might chose and be- cause he happened to be in the South is no reason why he should forfeit this right. As to whom he should have as his guest is a question which he himself should be the sole arbiter. “But\Bishop Potter was in the South and should have respected Southern sentiments even though he was in what was for the time his own home” say his critics. One could with equal consistency say that Vardaman, Till- man and other Southern gentlemen, when in the North, should respect Northern sentiment and wine and dine with Negroes. There is just as much ground for and equally as much sense in one contention as in the other. Bishop Potter was not trying to please the South, neither was he trying to of- fend it, but was simply exercising that inalienable right guaranteed to every citizen to chose whom he wanted to entertain. FORT NEGLEY AND THE HERMI?- AGE. Roosevelt made one declaration that has met with general approva! in thesc environments. It was that the Her- “-mitage should be maintained, as is Mt. Vernon, at the expense of the general ‘government. He further annopnced ‘that he would recommend such actions ‘in his forthcoming message to Con- gress, Such a recommendation will, ic it should, receive the unanimous ipport of every Congressman from ie state for, as Roosevelt says, An- irew Jackson was one of the really at men that has filled the Presi- tial office, In connection with the proposed Ing of a public park supported Sy general government of the Hermit- ige, it is interesting to note that one the most famous points about Nash- is never mentioned to visitors. toe NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1907. We refer to Fort Negley. Why not ask Congress to make a Nailonal Park which will include all the battle-fields around and about Nashville? The bat- tle of Nashville was one of the most decisive of the whole Civil War and the deeds of the men who poured out their life's blood “for the right as they. Saw it,” should be commemorated here as they have been on other battle- fields. Aside from the historic interest at- tached to old Fort Negley it would add immeasurably to the beauty of Nashville if it were improved. This of itself should demand that an effort be made to have the Government take charge of the battlefield. Congress- man Gaines should introduce a meas- ure, along with the one for the future of the Hermitage, for the marking and improving of the battle-fields in the vicinity of Nashville. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE. RRC inl Rader eee SA th Pert ge ier sse _ The President of the United States has been in our midst, made a few speeches and gone on his way “de- lighted” that his journey brought him through Middle Tennessee, He re- ceived a great reception, that is, it was great for Nashville. In connection with the reception given Mr, Roose- velt one feature of the parade has been the subject of a deal of criti- cism, It was the drawing of the color line by the local post-office authorities in the formation of the postmen for the march through the streets. As is usual with parades in which the col- ored people associate with the white, the colored postmen were strung out behind. The United States Govern- ment is supposed to know no color in selecting its employees and the post: master or whoever is responsible was guilty of a breach of rules when such distinctions were made. In forming the carriers for the parade, seniority, efficiency, or height should have been taken into consideration and not a man’s color. We are certain that ef- ficiency, length of service or height had nothing to do with placing the colored carriers in the rear. The lo- cal postal authorities ought to see to ‘it that no invidious distinctions are made in the governmental.service. It were better that the postmen be not shown on dress parade than that men old in the service with good records to their credit, be placed. at the tail end of the line simply because of their color. It would seem that the spirit of the McKinley Club is invading the Post Office. ‘The Globe is informed that an effort is on foot to revive the Local Businéss league or organize another commer cial organization that will bring the colored business men of the city to- gether from time to time. Though we are not advised as to the details we are in hearty sympathy with any movement that will tend to bring the business men of our race closer to: sether. The good effects of commer cial organizations has never been so clearly demonstrated in this city as it was by the reception tendered Roose. velt by the white Board of Trade. An ictive organization of the colored busi. ness men would do much good in the community and, believing thus, the Globe stands ready to offer its aid in securing the same. While the Southern press is so uraid that Bishop Potter will inter- fere with the color line, they might come closer home and give their opin- ion of white men who associate at night with colored women. They might also have their reporters find out if there are Negro strumpets main- tained in splendor by white men in sections of the city where demimondes ought not to be. When Roosevelt reached Chattanoo- ga his train was beseiged by such a crowd that the loquacious Teddy could not make his speech, Evidently they were giving him a sample of how they overpower a sheriff, browbeat the low- er courts and hold in contempt the highest judicial authority of America. Strenuous! Teddy is not in it com- pared with the Chattanoogans! With many of the financial con- cerns of New York struggling for life it would not be @ bad policy for the Wagetarner to take notice and put aside something for a rainy day. Vardaman left the state of Mississip- pi to avoid meeting Roosevelt. In Nashville—well, as Kipling says, “That is another story.” pass See LOVE'S PENALTY. lel SEA Nap dierk coer teenies oes The owl’s hoot, rising high and shrill, Disturbs the night—all else is still; A rope from an oak swings to and fro— What If a dead man hangs below? In Louisiana, long ago, Old Thomas watched his daughter grow, A winsome maid with laughing grace, Brown as the autumn leaves her face; Her hair in curling clusters hung; Like ‘masic peals her accents rung. A woodland flower, sweet and wild, Was Farmer Thomas’ only child. The years passed on. At seventeen Jeanette, a charming rustic queen, By Billy Smith, a neighbor's son, A handsome lad, was wooed and won. And both with youthful spirits gay Looked forward to their wedding day. The proud white owner of the farms, Won by the colored maiden’s charms, Said to himself: “This girl shall yield To me, who own this broad green field.” But sweet Jeanette, in goodness clothed, The man and his attentions loathed; And by unholy love enslaved, "Twixt hope and wrath his passion waved. * * * * By the green foliage half concealed, Jeanette comes gaily through the field, Then out into the road she stepped, But near her evil fortune crept. Beside the road, among the trees, Jeanette her proud insulter sees, “Jeanette-” he cries, “you shall be mine, = Or ere again the sun shall shine Your father’—he with wrath grew pale— “Accused of theft, shall lie in jail. Quite near his house some missing hogs Were traced to-day by faithful dogs. What do you say?” Struck dumb with fear, Jeanette repressed a starting tear. Then from her lips burst forth the cry, “I do not fear you, for you lie!” “How!” he broke forth; then raised his hand— “Hold there, you sneaking coward— stand!” Young Billy Smith, with flashing eyes, Quick to his sweetheart’s rescue flies— A cudgel stout, a crushing blow— Jeanette looks down upon her foe. Then clasped in Billy Smith’s em- brace, She looks in his impassioned face; And all the hopes of youthful years Flow gently forth in lovers’ tears, ‘That night a horde of trampling men Went to their scattered homes again; The satisfaction on each face Told of a long, successful chase.

Large flags unfurled their folds to the breeze from every window. It is estimated that fully 500 people saw the President from the building and school grounds. As the President passed he heard the cheering and looked in the direction from which it came. At once, he ree- ognized that the cheering came from school children, who joyously waved 600 flags above their heads, the boys lifting their hats in the air. The President immediately arose and in a gallant manner returned the greet ing with pleasant bows. This gave every child a splendid opportunity to see the Chief Magistrate of the na- tion, who perhaps is now the fore- most man in the world. About 100 Fisk young men came over to witness the passing of the President and his company, and they made things live- ly with their songs and yells. Among the other visitors were: Mrs. F.

The Pearl boys, though defeated, outplayed the Walden boys in the es- timation of the spectators, The game was won on a fatal error of judgment by Pearl's fullback. The beautiful re- turn kick of the Walden boys at the beginning of the second half was one of the neatest and most scientifically executed tricks of the season. The Pearl boys played the forward pass to a fine point. The treatment acorded the team in selecting men of nearly equal calibre was the best Pearl has ever received and received the un- stinted praise of the Faculty. Not a score was made in the first half and it was impossible to tell who would be the winners until the last five minutes of the game. The Pearl boys have a hard game before them for November 9, when the Sumner High School of St. Louis comes to Nashville to play them on Bennett Field. TULLAHOMA NOTES, The home of Prof. and Mrs, J.

News reached Nashville Sunday of the death of Mr. Solomon Chew, whose native home was in Palestine, Tex. Mr. Chew was a young man about twenty-nine years of age, and was prominent in the sporting world, especially in baseball circles. He was a pitcher of national reputation and had played ball in some of the fastest teams of the country. As a pitcher he ranked with such men as Mose "Doublehead" Foster, Gatewood and others. He had played on such famous teams as the Waco Yellow Jackets, Waco, Tex.; Hot Springs, Ark.; Birmingham, Ala.; Tyler, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas. He had many offers to go with St. Louis, Chicago and New York, but he had peculiar notions about living in the South. Hence he would never venture to assist in baseball circles with the teams across the Mason and Dixon line. He was also a very accomplished musician and a sweet singer. His death occurred at Dallas, Tex., and he was buried at his old home in Palestine under the auspices of the Heart of Oak Lodge, K. of P., of which he was a member. PHILLIS WHEATLY CLUB.

At the tomb of Andrew Jackson at his former home, The Hermitage, President Roosevelt delivered another great speech eloquent with reminiscences of the career and achievements of Old Hickory, the hardy old battled-scarred son of Tennessee. All classes of men took delight in honoring the Nation's Chief the three brief hours he was here, despite the difference of opinion held by most of them and him. He was the President of all the people, black as well as white, and all gave him a right loyal welcome such as would have made any mortal proud. He left soon after noon for Chattanooga, his next stop on his way back to Washington. The President in Nashville. While Nashville was entertaining the nation's chief, the man of strenuous life, the ever determined Theodore Roosevelt, decorated as it were with stars and stripes, national colors and bunting of all kinds, and its streets thronged with thousands and thousands of anxious people, eager to get one glance at this distinguished guest, the Negro citizenship was cringing under possibly the greatest insult and the most absolute disregard of their citizen's right they had ever been subjected to. There is no denying the fact that it is the right of every American citizen to say "Our President," but this right, when it is reserved to party lines, is strictly a patent word of the Republicans. Yet that party of late years has tried and is still trying, from all appearances in the last campaign, to add or prefix "Lily white" to it. Yet "Our President" was elected by the Republicans, and notwithstanding he rolled up the greatest majority ever recorded, it is known that the Negro of the South, the Middlewest and in the doubtful states, contributed no little to this handsome majority. While the South as a rule, especially through the press, was heaping criticism upon top of criticism, calling the candidate upon the Republican side every conceivable name, and advising the South as well as the North that it would be a dangerous thing to return such a man to the office, many of them declaring that he was dangerous, uncertain and unreliable, yet the Negro voter with that determination and with that silent admiration with which he has always held the Republican party, cast a solid straight ballot for "Our President." Many of them hoped that the time would come when they would have an opportunity to show a greater devotion and a higher esteem. This time was set for when the President came South but it was not to be so. They were not to be given this representation, and especially were they to be denied every opportunity to get a respectable representation. Mr. Vardaman, who opposed President Roosevelt, has said many hard things against him, and from the present dispatches it would seem that he is standing alone and still contending and objecting to even meeting with him. But in some sections of the South, the men that have belittled him, warning others against him and advising that the government was not safe with him as its chief, have been among the first to run over each other in their endeavor to give him the glad hand and a sunny south smile. His reception in Nashville was an instance to be referred to. The long list of 250 members of the reception committee was peculiarly conspicuous, and will go down in history with the record that not one Negro was appointed to serve on it. Hence there are no Negroes in Nashville, so as far as manly recognition were concerned, if Mr. Roosevelt were to judge from the personnel of the committee, that received him, which was composed of Germans Italians., Jews, Polanders, Swedes and, in fact, all the mixed Americans save the Negro. Seeing that the most loyal part of the citizenship of this nation was about to be ignored, a meeting was called among the Negroes and it was decided at once to make a protest. Major Wills, a veteran of the G. A. R., and the incumbent of the post-office (Postmaster and Custodian) was consulted on the matter. He was asked if there were to be any Negroes on the reception committee, to which he replied. "I do not know. This matter does not come under my part of the work. The board of trade invited the President here, and they will have the arrangement of all the program. I would refer you to the board of trade. Mr. Shannon is the Secretary and you could possibly get the information from him." A representative of the committee got in direct communication with Mr. Shannon of the board of trade. He was called and when asked if there had been any Negroes appointed on the committee, he replied in the negative. When asked if there would be any, he stated that he did not know. That this matter would come up before a special committee that was in session, of which one Mr. Wrenne was the chairman. The representative of the Negroes' committee asked Mr. Shannon, as president of the board of trade, to go before the com Grandma's Wonder Bread Is the Sweet, Nutty kind, and we bake it Fresh every day.

Mr. Shannon assured the representative that this matter would be looked after, and that he would be notified; that much of the detail matter, such as the appointment of the committee, had not been arranged. This was Thursday of last week. And judging from the two daily papers of this city, the committee was not named until Friday or Saturday. Thus the Negro was deliberately and intentionally denied any representation on the committee, or any manly showing during the President's visit. Yet thousands of them perched themselves on street corners and in windows along the line of march, craning their necks for one peep. Many of them did not, however,—but not for any disrespect for the President; but on account of the cold treatment to which they were subject ed by the brother in white, who was eager only to show himself and his ```markdown ``` --- "FIT FOR A KING" Coffee 10-11-' J420 J.

That Nashville paid high tribute to this distinguished visitor was evidenced on every hand. The entire city, save a few exceptions, suspended business, but Negro business houses and Negro institutions, for causes above mentioned, took no prominent or active part in giving him a welcome. Yet in the distant future when some will ask "Why?" the facts as given will be its cause and the answer. The names suggested by the committee of Negroes to the Board of Trade were representative business men with national reputation. They stand as high financially as lots of names in the 250 that did serve, and are a credit to Nashville, where they have lived for the past twenty-five years with clear, clean, good records. Negroes should have been represented. --- THE FRED. THOMAS. GHURGH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS New Styles Cheap and Endurable. Se a et ete Comfort and Beauty o Combined. TIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every J 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 Jong-fet want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasiig their attendance, draw- ing on tlie unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evi- dently 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 Depart- iment 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 of- fered at the prices, The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, re- fardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats Fistalled and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial con- dition, 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 re- fetring theitt to Rev. 1. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St.John Baptist Churctt, Pearl St.; Rev, J. 1 Harding, pastor Of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with’ new style church seats; Rev. G. B.

To say that Nashville enjoyed a splendid treat last Monday night in the way of a concert that was given at the First Baptist Church, Spruce street, by Club No. 4 of the church, which was under the management of Miss James DeWitt Shorter and Mrs. Jennie Duncan, and that this enter- tainment had eclipsed every effort put forth by the workers of the Fall rally in this church, and that there was a great display of talent both musical and literary, and that the en- tire program was replete with per- fect renditions, does not begin to ex- press the pleasures, the real enjoy- ment and the reai appreciation that was evident on all sides for this occa- sion, The program was begun with the opening chorus by the First Bhptist choir. Rev. Wm. Craft of- fered prayer. Mr. W. B. Merrill, of Fisk University, sang a beautiful ten- or solo, The reading of Miss Bessie Leigh was one of the distinct fea- tures of the program. Miss Leigh is developing into a very good elocution- ist. She knows how to hold an audi- ence, and she puts earnestness into her readings, The daughter of Prof. Lowe, Miss Helen, played a beautiful solo. The Meharry Quartet was a, fa vorite of the evening, being compelled to respond to an encore. Mr. A, N. Johnson, the popular undertaker, took |charge of the audience. His reading was the most enjoyable. He showe¢ ||that he is easily in the front rank o} | Jelocutionists and that he has many strong points beside the undertaking {business in which he has won suc ) }cess. There was a violin solo by Mr A, Hunter, which took us back to th days of Miss Hester Brown’s visit ) Jalso a solo by Miss Ella Hendry an ) Jone by Mr. T. Clay Moore. Ther came reading by Miss Emma & ) |Shorter, “'Ostler Joe,” which showe y |careful study and was brought ou very attractively. The closing nun ) Ider by the Fisk Glee Club elicite y |much applause.

Blackburn Fights Mike Donovan a Draw. "Black Jack" Blackburn, of Philadelphia, and Mike Donovan, of Rochester, N. Y., fought six fast rounds last Friday night, Oct. 18, to a draw before the Industrial Boxing Club at Philadelphia. The men were very evenly matched, and at the finish it was generally agreed that the honors were about even. In the first round the men went at each other cautiously, but in a moment both had warmed up and from that time on it was give and take all over the ring. Both fought for the body in the earlier stages of the fight, the Negro seemed to have a shade the best of it. In the sixth round, however, Donovan rallied and had all the best of the finish. It was a good fight. Johnson and Burns Will Probably Meet Thanksgiving. When Joe Gans offered to bet $5,000 that Peter Jackson could defeat Tommy Burns in a fight to a finish the Canadian said that If he ever took on a Negro boxer he wouldn't start in with Peter Jackson, but would take on Jack Johnson first. In Los Angeles Burns said he would sign articles of agreement calling for a fight with Jack Johnson before the club offering the biggest purse. He said that if Promoter Coffroth would hang up the $25,000 purse originally tendered for such a match he would accept it, the fight to occur within a reasonable length of time. The challenge hurled at him by Gans on behalf of Johnson is what stirred Burns up to action, and he says in order to convince the public that he is not afraid of Johnson he will take him on. Tommy will, however, insist upon an 18-foot ring, as he feels that in a 20 or 24-foot ring the Negro champion will resort to runaway tactics that will not only rob the fight of interest, but will also cause him to get leg-weary and foot-sore chasing him. "A 10-foot ring would suit me better than anything else," said Burns "You couldn't make the ring too small for me when I fight Johnson." While Tommy claims to have had a prosperous theatrical tour, he undoubtedly finds the grass a trifle short in his new pasture, and is anxious to return to the field where he can gather in the mazuma with a little more regularity and in larger wads. As Burns $1.00 is not a fellow who dissipates, he is in fairly good trim now and would only have to train off superfluous flesh. There will be no trouble in gaining Johnson's consent, so if Coffroth feels that the match is worth $25,000 to him, there is a possibility of the fight being held at Ocean View on Thanksgiving, when the racing season will be in full swing at Emeryville. Tommy said that he would cancel the Gunner Moir match if Coffroth or any other promoter offered him a $25,000 purse to fight Johnson. Jack (Twin) Sullivan thinks Tommy Burns is trying to sidestep him by making the talk about meeting Jack Johnson. Jack says he made Tommy back up in both of their previous battles, and that Burns is not anxious to again enter the ring with him.—Ex. Walden Cubs Vs. Pearl High School In one of the most stubbornly contested games seen on Braden Field in years, the Walden Cubs Eleven, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 19, defeated the Pearl High School boys 5 to 0. The Pearl High School boys outweighed the Cubs a few pounds. The Cubs were demoralized by the absence of John Warren, their star full-back and line plunger. The Pearl boys played the game of their life. It is hard to say which of the Pearl boys carried off the honor. All of them played great and snappy ball, though the work of W. Davis, I. Davis, Franklin and Hurt was noticeably fine. The Walden boys seemed to be somewhat up in the air in the first half, but they made up for all this in the second half. L. Morrow, C. Alexander, R. Dill and Chas. Williams were the most spectacular, while Rhines, Chappell and Patterson were hardly inferior. Walden line up; Pearl's not given: Robert Dill, Center; Perry Right, Guard; Bryant Brown, Left Guard; J. Wyman Brady, Right Tackle; Patterson, Left Tackle; Van Watson, Right End; Chas. Williams, Left End; Chappell, Quarter, Morrow, Captain, Fullback; Alexander, Right Half; Rhine, Left Half. Referee, Prof. Brown, Fisk. Umpire, Dr. Lanne, Meharry. Time of halves, 20 minutes. Touchdown, Alexander. * * AS IT WAS SEEN FROM THE CRIMSON AND BLACK SIDE LINE. Walden was greatly in need of a right end. Chas. (the Cincinnati Kid) Williams played the game of his life at left end. Brady played his old time game for the Cubs at right tackle. John Warren, the Cub's full back and line plunger, was out of the game Saturday on account of chills and fever. Two of the Cub's best players are yet to report—Harry Myall and John Banks. Meharry Notes. Meharry's football team is hard at work in preparation for the season's games which are fast approaching. The men are getting into form and many are showing some fine football knowledge. Captain Dobson is having the first and second teams line up against each other every afternoon so as to get a line on the men who are to fill the vacancies in this year's team. The backs for this year are showing up well; they are very fast, in fact, it is sure to be the fastest backfield that has ever defended the red and black. The Walden Scrubs played a rather ragged game with the Pearl High School Saturday, and by luck won 5-0. There is much enthusiasm over the coming games among the rooters, and each day at practice many are out to see the work-outs. The Freshman Class Team has been out, and will give the 'Varsity some hard work, as it is composed of good. strong fellows who have had some experience in football. The Athletic Association is to give a concert at the Auditorium Friday night to defray some small expenses. Terry, Allison and Carr are the backfield so far, and make fast running mates when they get to going. The Meharry Quartette made its first public appearance at the First Baptist Church Monday evening. They will be on the program Friday night at the Athletic Association's concert, which will be in charge of J. Champ. Dickerson, and is destined to be a success. The best talent of the college will appear, also the Meharry Band. The band, under the direction of C. B. Johnson, plays some very catchy music. The Facts of the Situation. "The season is growing old and as yet we have not had any representative game of football among our local schools. The public has grown hungry and if the management of the different teams don't hurry, the public will have lost their appetite." This is the expression of some who have not taken the matter under due consideration, and who do not know of the games yet to be played. Football among Negro schools is played under great disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages can be remedied by the management of the different teams, while others can be remedied only by time. The colleges of the North arrange their schedules one season for the next and nothing prevents their playing those games. While the negro schools wait, as a rule, until the beginning of the season to arrange their schedules. Their reason for this is twofold. They cannot afford to lose their money, in their contracts so they have to wait to see what rates they can get; then the faculties of our schools are more active in football matters than in other schools, and we often have to wait on their actions; so often we are necessarily held. But apart from these disadvantages, which we cannot avoid, there are others that we can and ought to remedy. When we have our mind made up as to what step we are going to take, we could expedite matters by answering our letters promptly. We could get to practice early and work hard so as to be ready early for a hard game and not delay a game on account of our failure to be ready. These acts of negligence are sources of much unnecessary delay among our schools. Although we have had no games yet in October, we have one on the 26th which promises to be only second to the best. Then we have three games in November which will be the greatest games of the season. The schedule is as follows: Nov. 9th, Pearl High vs. St. Louis; Nov. 16th, Meharry vs. Tuskegee; and the Meharry-Fisk game, the great society event in Nashville, will likely be played on Thanksgiving. All of these games are going to be games upon which great honor is at stake and they will be played with all the football genius that can be put in action among our schools. Let every body attend all these games and I think the public will feel that after all, although late, the season of 1907 has been a grand success. Fisk has the most strenuous season of all. She plays Atlanta at Atlanta on Nov. 2; Knoxville at Knoxville on Nov. 16, and Meharry as before stated. Her men are light and new, yet she hopes to keep up her reputation. The game Saturday, October 26thwill be played on Fisk campus by Meharry's strong Freshman class and Fisk second team that downed Pearl High 17 to 0. Both teams are strong and about evenly matched, as it is the first game of its kind of the season a large crowd is expected. W. S. WHITE.
