M. E. GONFERENCE ELECTS FIVE DELEGATES TO GENERAL CONFERENCE. Nashville Left Out Entirely. Busy Day Saturday. GENERAL OFFICERS MAKE GOOD REPORTS—DR. H. T. JOHNSON PREACHES AT ST. JOHN-ORDINATION SERVICES AT PAYNE CHAPEL—RESOLUTION TO INDORSE ROOSEVELT TURNED DOWN—APPOINTMENTS MADE MONDAY NIGHT. The most exciting as well as interesting session of the Tennessee Annual Conference was that held Friday evening, Nov. 1, when the delegates to the coming General Conference were elected. It had been previously stated that only five would be elected, and that about fifty were candidates for the honors. Three o'clock Friday was the hour set apart, and when the time arrived every seat in Payne Chapel was occupied. On schedule time the business of the hour was called for and Bishop Lee asked for the nomination of clerks and tellers. Drs. Chappelle and Lewis were chosen tellers, and Dr. J. A. Jones and Rev. J. T. Gilmore were elected clerks. Bishop Lee announced that everything was in readiness and the voting was on. The contest was very spirited. It was soon noticeable, however, that Nashville would not be in the race, although Drs. G. L. Jackson and W. B. Denny made a good showing. The first ballot showed that four were elected, namely: B. G. Gordon, of Shelbyville; J. Q. Johnson, presiding elder of the Columbia District; H. L. P. Jones, presiding elder of the Shelbyville District, and A. P. Gray, of Pulaski. On the second ballot the race narrowed down to Dr. W. B. Denny, Dr. G. L. Jackson, of Nashville, and Rev. G. R. Norman, of Mt. Pleasant, Rev. Norman winning on the third ballot. Saturday was a very busy day with the divines. Having elected the General Conference delegation they settled down to the work of the annual Conference. All reports showed progress. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, read a report that brought forth great applause. There was no session Saturday night. Among the pastors from the annual conference filling the various pulpits in Nashville Sunday, Rev. H. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa., editor of the Christian Recorder, preached perhaps the most interesting and instructive sermon at St. John A. M. E. Church at the morning service. His sermon was intensely practical, and he drew some vivid comparisons between the Israelites and the Negroes, giving to the members advice based upon the experience of the Israelites in their varied life of hardships and blessings. His text was taken from Nehemiah 2:18, "And they said, let us rise up and build." He recounted the hardships the Israelites experienced in B雅lonian captivity, and the efforts of Nehemiah put forth to rebuild Jerusalem, stating that in being deprived of their religious liberty, the Negroes of America ought to be able to sympathize with the Israelites for having at one time gone through a similar experience. "We are engaged in a work no less important than they," said he. "We have a work to do, a work of upbuilding, a huge and gigantic undertaking. It is necessary that the work should be done under God's guidance, and if we would succeed in the tremendous task we have before us, leaders and followers must chime in the chorus and say as did the Israelites: 'Let us rise up and build.'" "Before we can properly build, we must realize our position and appreciate the fact that we are down and that we must get up. Our progress has been marvelous; our people have accomplished a great deal, and yet the work ahead of us is so great that we have only come a pace of the way God would have us go. God has never helped a single soul that did not realize the need of him. It is only in the extent that we realize our extremity that heaven is given an opportunity to help us. We must realize that we need God's help. We may talk about solving the race problem, talk about overturning the mountains of prejudice, but there will be no deliverance for this race, no hope for our people, until every Negro learns to call upon the name of the Lord, until we come back to the God of our fathers and mothers. He heard them back yonder in the days of bondage, and they had no houses of worship such as we have to-day; but they stole off in the fence corners or in some excluded spot, pouring out to Him their soul's desire. So must we do." At Payne Chapel, the seat of the conference, the sermon was preached in the morning by Rev. D. E. Johnson from the text 1 Peter, 2, 3 and 4. Bishop Lee ordained a large class of elders and deacons in the afternoon and Rev. C. H. Williams preached Sunday night. Dr. B. F. Watson, Secretary of the Church Extension Department; Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and Prof. John R. Hawkins, Secretary of Education, spoke Monday morning at Payne Chapel at the conference. Various committees finished their reports at the morning session. Resolutions, mild in character, yet indorsing the Republican party and the administration of Theodore Roosevelt were turned down Monday by the Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The debate on the resolution furnished another feature of the session, and in no instance were the delegates to the Conference willing to go on record as belonging to the Republican party per se or indorsing the Administration. The resolutions were submitted by the Committee on the State of the Country, and read in part as follows: "Race prejudice seems to be increasing in this country and grows in proportion as the colored race increases in numbers and advances in the arts and sciences of civilization. This should not be regarded as unusual. It is history repeating itself. Such is common with all people of all ages. We believe that the best course for us to pursue is to simply forge ahead and make preparations for the crisis, should it ever come. We are not in sympathy with the alarmist nor the calamity howler. We believe in the God of the Nations and that behind a frowning Providence he hides a shining face'." The clause calling President Roosevelt the greatest ruler the Nation had since the days of Lincoln was stricken out after a debate of a half hour's duration, when it was distinctly given out by the leaders of the Conference that the Negroes of the South could not support the Republican party per se, and did not indorse the Administration in all of its "big stick" policies, and particularly in the Brownsville affair. The part of the resolution indorsing Roosevelt was very tame, and yet the Conference would not stand for it. It reads as follows: RESOLUTION TURNED DOWN. "While we condemn the action of President Roosevelt in discharging the colored soldiers without sufficient proof of their guilt, and we are not in sympathy with all of his 'big stick' policies, yet we-believe that the Republican party is the safest and best party for the black man in this country, and that the present Chief Executive is, all things considered, the greatest ruler this Nation has had since the days of Lincoln." Dr. B. F. Watson, Secretary of the Church Extension Department, with headquarters at Philadelphia, rendered an interesting report to the Conference in the afternoon, showing the magnitude of the Church Extension Department. His report showed that the Church Extension Society had assets amounting to $250,725.42, with liabilities of only $11,430. The Society has on hand real estate amounting to $89,000, some of which is valuable church property in Denver, Col., Fall River, Mass., and unimproved property in Philadelphia. Loans to churches in the denomination, mortgages and bonds held by the Society amount to $145,199.48, while on hand from last year remains a cash balance of $16,119.94. The disbursements for the year amounted to $26,388.64, as follows: Loans, $11,664.21; donations $5,038.50; departmental payments, $8.117.15; and office expenses, $1,568.78. The receipts for the year have been $29,496.60, and the balance from last year, $12,552.98, making total receipts of $42,499.56 for the year. Loans have been made in Tennessee Conference as follows: Shelbyville, $60; Bellbuckle $60; Shorters, Tullahoma, $100; St Paul, Nashville, $100; St. Luke, Nashville, $100; and Columbia, $100. The report showed that St. John, Nash (Continued on page 7.) The Elite of Nashville will be on Hand. BIG CROWD EXPECTED ON BENNETT FIELD TO CHEER BOYS TO VICTORY-FISK PLAYS ATLANTA BAPTIST COLLEG TO STANDSTILL-SCORE 0 TO 0 LARGE CROWD WITNESSES CONTEST—PRONOUNCED BEST GAME SEEN IN SOUTH. On Saturday afternoon at three o'clock the football eleven wearing the colors of the Pearl High School will line up on Bennett Field, Fisk Campus, against the strong eleven from Florence, Ala., for the prep school supremacy of the South. This will be the first appearance in this city of the Burrell Academy boys, but the team comes with a good record, having defeated some of the strongest preparatory school teams in Alabama and Georgia. Pearl High School is represented by an exceptionally strong team, and lovers of the manly sport may rest assured that this game will be as interesting as any that will be played here this season. It seems to be the concensus of opinion that this game will gradually grow into prominence until it will attract more people than any of the big games, in view of the fact that it is a game in which the home team is composed entirely of home talent, which naturally interests the people of this city most. Prof. Cameron has high hopes of capturing this game, since the team showed up so brilliantly in their game Monday against the Walden Cubs, defeating that strong team 6 to 5. The Pearl High boys came out of that contest in good shape, and at once got to work preparing for Saturday's contest with Burrell Academy. The probable line-up in Saturday's game will be as follows: Burrell. Position Pearl. Rickets L. E. Upshaw Terry L. T. Duncan Davis L. G. Williams Rhodes C. Dillahunty Jones R. G. Franklin or Peyton Portlock R. T. Manson Brewer R. E. Hockett or Allen Glenn Q. Davis or McKissack Johnson L. H. Hurt Waits R. H. Manson Pool F. Davis, I. Subs: Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2.—The strong eleven from Fisk University, bearing the colors of "old gold and blue," reached this city early this morning from Nashville, Tenn., to participate in the annual struggle between Fisk and Atlanta Baptist College of this city. The enthusiasm of the admirers of the gridiron has been boiling for the past three weeks as never before, and the Fisk aggregation received a hearty welcome by the "maroon" supporters, which are the colors of the Atlanta Baptist College. The visiting team was lustily cheered by many of their supporters, especially by the Atlanta University, which school has been the life-long opponent to the Atlanta Baptist College. But the nature of all the cheering and the opposition to the home team in favor of the visitors was friendly in every way, and nothing but the best of feelings prevailed. Clark University, Morris Brown College, and Spelman Seminary, with their host of students, together with the elect of Atlanta, turned out to see the long-expected gridiron contest. The battle took place on the college campus of the A.B.C., in the presence of Atlanta's magnificent and representative audience. As the boys ran out on the field it was easily seen that Fisk had the advantage in weight. Yet both teams had suffered to some extent since last year by the loss of some of their star players, and this, together with the fact that each team was playing its first game of the season, possibly served to keep the supporters of the opposing teams on the anxious seat. The game began very briskly. The Baptist College kicked off to Fisk. Then the contest was on in earnest. The nerves of each player were worked up to the highest pitch. Fisk immediately took possession of the ball and brought it back about five yards. They made a few attempts to gain, but being blocked on every hand by the A. B. C. boys, Fisk punted to Mattison, who caught the ball and was tackled in his tracks. Here it was brawn against brawn, muscle against muscle, and the superior tactics were brought into play. After several exchanges of punts, Fisk was the superior and the ball was in possession on her five-yard line. Here she attempted to kick out of danger, but the A. B. C.'s strong center, S. Jackson, broke through the line and blocked the kick. Hence Atlanta recovered the ball on Fisk's one-yard line. While Atlanta University was cheering lustily for Fisk, the boys from the Baptist College, with their nerves strung to the highest pitch, wrestled and fought with all of their vim and courage, but the old gold and blue stood like a stone wall. Atlanta fumbled the ball, and Fisk secured it and made a safe kick out of danger. Never in the history of football playing in Atlanta did the excitement run so high. It was a hair-raising exhibition of careful training, hard playing and superior football tactics brought into play by both teams. Many attempts by the visitors, as well as the home team to work the forward pass, and the double pass failed from the fact that every position was able held and played to perfection. One notable feature, however, was that Atlanta managed to keep the ball continually in Fisk's territory, where most of the playing was done. While on the other hand, Fisk was on the defensive and refused to let the ball cross its goal. Neither team seemed to be able to score when an opportunity to score was presented. And authors on football in this city declare that the training of the two teams was in every way perfect. It is notable that at no time during the second half was the goal of Atlanta threatened, for the ball did not enter her territory. The commendable feature about the game was that it was clean from start to finish. It was conspicuous because of the absence of an contention. The decisions by the referees were absolutely fair and met the approval of both teams. Had it not been for the masterly defense of Fisk, Atlanta would now be rejoicing over her victory, and the same can be said with respect to Atlanta. Both teams played superb ball. Neither side was permitted to score. The result was 0—0. Thus ended the greatest football game ever played in the South. HEARD ON THE GRIDIRON. B. Hubert's repeated tackles behind Fisk's line made the natives stare. S. Jackson broke through the line to block the kicks for pastime. The Turner boys gave a splendid exhibition of tackling in open field. Mattison and Davis were under all forward passes in magnificent style. Dixon, Hannon, Jackson and Arnold were a veritable stone wall on the defense. Hubert came into his own and punted the ball as he has never punted before. Coach Giles of the Fisk University team has already demonstrated his superior football training by the way his men played the A. B. C. boys. Atlanta University rooted for Fisk until their throats were sore. The coaches for Atlanta, Dr. A. B. Jones and Prof. S. H. Archer, smiled a big smile of satisfaction that their boys held their own. The attendants at Atlanta during the football game were of the highest class of citizenship. Little King was missed from the Fisk football aggregation very much. Boutte played r. star game and lost no opportunity to gain territory for Fisk. Fisk. Position. A. B. C. Upshaw . R. E. Davis McMillan . R. T. V. Turner Thunpson . R. G. Dixon Warren . C.

Mattison IMPORTANT BUSINESS MEETING OF THE ONE GENT SAVINGS BANK HELD TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5. President, Cashier and most of Directors Present. PRESIDENT R. H. BOYD STATED OBJECT OF CALL-CASHIER J. C. NAPIER STATED FINANCIAL CONDITION OF INSTITUTION IN GOOD SHAPE-CLEARING-HOUSE CERTIFICATE PLAN ADOPTED-MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS TRANSACTED. An important meeting of the directors of the One-Cent Savings Bank was held in the directors' room of the bank Tuesday evening. The president of the bank, Dr. R. H. Boyd, stated that the purpose of calling the special meeting just one week prior to the regular monthly meeting was on account of the prevailing financial excitement in many quarters, and to assure every depositor, stockholder and the city at large that the One-Cent Savings Bank was still on the firmest basis. The cashier, Mr. J. C. Napier, made his quarterly report. The Condition of the One Cent Savings Bank at the Close of Business, Tuesday, November 5, 1907. RESOURCES. Notes and Discounts ..... $27,610.26 Cash and due from Bankers 12,148.68 Expenses paid ..... 4,148.75 Total resources ..... $43,907.69 Capital stock paid in ..... $ 3,040.00 Individual Deposits ..... 33,667.75 Profits ..... 7,199.94 Total Liabilities ..... $43,907.69 He prefaced his remarks with the statement that the One Cent Savings Bank is able now as it has always been heretofore to pay dollar for dollar every depositor on demand and that the same economic course is pursued as has always been by the institution. It is known that this institution has grown steadily since its organization. While the directors and stockholders have not attempted to boom themselves or to do any great amount of advertising, it has been looked upon as a solid, progressive, financial business concern. The report for the third quarter of 1907 shows a substantial gain over the same quarter a year ago. Notwithstanding the prevailing excitement in the North, the deposits of the institution have continued steady and uninterrupted. The president and the cashier both stated to the directors that in a recent conference with the clearing-house committee the One Cent Savings Bank had acquiesced in the clearing-house certificate plan, and that the same rules governing the other banks of Nashville were applicable to the One Cent Savings Bank. While they had endeavored at all times to favor the small depositor, they would not disobey any rules now in vogue by the clearing-house committee. It was remarkable to note at the directors' meeting the encouraging remarks from those present. A review of the cashier's report will show that the bank has not indulged in any reckless speculation, and that the only investments made by the institution were of the safest, and there was no money whatever in this bank from New York banks, nor had the institution invested or deposited any money in the New York institutions. Nashville can compliment itself upon having a bank that is as safe as any in the Southland. It was shown by the cashier's report that a run on the institution was impossible. The president, who is also the secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board, and no doubt one of the largest depositors in the bank, remarked that their busi- 2 ness would continue as heretofore, and that the safest of all institutions was one in which the people's confidence remained unbroken. The report for the close of business Tuesday made by the teller of the bank, Mr. C. N. Langston, showed an increase in deposits over the same date a year ago. The directors present were R. H. Boyd, president; J. W. Bostic, vice president; J. C. Napler, cashier; J. P. Crawford, C. S. Randalls, J. B. Bosley, T. G. Ewing, Sr., Wm. Beekham by proxy, Henry Allen Boyd, and E. B. Jefferson by proxy. As the fiscal year was nearing an end, it was decided at this meeting to get out a complete report covering the year's work and a review the past four years' work and mail it out to every stockholder. The annual meeting of stockholders will be held early in January. The certificates that are being issued by the clearing-house was taken up by the board and thoroughly discussed. The certificates range in denomination from $1.00 up, and will be honored by all banks and merchants in the city. Mr. Napier said that it was not necessary for any depositor to lose one cent on a certificate. They were backed by the clearing-house and would be paid on presentation, and that any of the certificates given out from the One Cent Savings Bank would be redeemed by the bank. He stated further that the action of the One Cent Savings Bank would be that of other banks with respect to depositors drawing on their accounts. Those having $500 or less in the bank could be paid $50.00 or 10 per cent of their deposits each week. This, it was stated, was agreed upon by all the banks. Hence there need be nothing but a successful continuance of business in financial circles. The first certificates issued by the clearing-house were signed with pen and ink by some trustee of the bank issuing them. The last certificates are lithographed and are similar to the silver certificates issued by the government. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907. Several weeks ago about a half dozen merchants were induced to inaugurate a piano contest, giving votes with each purchase. Many schools, churches and persons have had their friends working in their interests. The other merchants seeing the interest aroused, and noting the business activity of the six firms, took counsel and at once put forth another contest with not only a piano but a wagon and several sundry articles as prizes Miss Katie Wright and Miss Mattie Smith, the only colored contestants, are receiving a liberal number of votes.

He admonished his hearers to hold on to the anchor of faith, and all would be well in the end. Mrs. Field's school is growing too large for one teacher. It is the wish of the patrons that the Board of Education elect an assistant teacher to this school. There is now an enrollment of seventy-four pupils, and as the farmers finish gathering in their crops there will be more children to come. Mr. Mitchell Woodson and family have moved to Mt.

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. Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. 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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL OR WRITE THE Hon. A. N. Johnson, funeral director, lectured to the Alpha Knight's Society Monday night. The society wishes him to be present again soon. Rev. Mr. T. W.

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The following persons visited the school this week: Misses Grace E. Birkett and Hettie Stewart, white, and Messrs. Ira B. Scott and Eugene Moody, Misses Eva Murrell, Ewerill Frazier and Daisy Murrell, colored. The seven visitors went into every class-room and listened to the recitations. They also visited the Domestic Science Department, where the children were engaged in making some "mock bisque" or tomato soup. The principal says he can recommend this soup to the highest degree as he was granted the privilege of eating a bowl of it that had been prepared for him by the class. That others may get the benefit of this delicious dish, the formula follows: 1 can tomatoes, 1-4 teaspoonful soda, 2 teaspoonsful salt, 1-8 teaspoonful pepper, 3 tablespoonsful butter, 4 tablespoonsful flour, 1 quart of milk. Stew tomatoes until soft enough to strain; heat milk in double boiler; rub butter and flour together; add to hot milk and stir until smooth; cook 10 minutes; add seasoning and strained tomatoes to which soda has been added; serve at once. The Pearl Football team is preparing to invade Kentucky after the game on Saturday with the eleven of Burrell Normal School of Florence, Ala. They have an engagement to meet the Central High School of Louisville on Saturday, Nov. 16. This promises to be a great game and both teams are out for blood. They have played annual games for the past two years and neither side has scored. Pearl goes in determined to win this third contest. Great interest is being manifested in perfect class attendance by the 8-A and 8-B Grades. A friendly rivalry exists between the teachers of these grades as well as between the pupils. Each class is trying to have the least number of absences and thus win the honor of having the best attendance. Last week the 8-B grade, under Miss C. M. Bryant, won the honor, having only 3 absences during the week in a class of 59 pupils. Your reporter ventures the assertion that such a record has not been surpassed in any school in the city. THE NATIONAL W. C. T. U. Quite a number of visitors and delegates to the World's Christian Temperance Union are in the city to attend this notable gathering of earnest temperance workers. The president of the state organization, Mrs. V. W. Broughton, arrived Tuesday night from Normal, Ala., where she is teaching, to direct the affairs of the state organization and to be in the meeting. Mrs. E. Adams and Mrs. E. E. Peterson, two prominent Texas delegates, are among the arrivals and are the guests of Mrs. Geo. W. Moore, at 926 Seventeenth avenue, North. There are other delegates from various parts of the United States. All the prominent national workers are here and a good meeting is already assured. The meeting opens this morning under the most favorable circumstances at the First Presbyterian Church.

A very sad accident happened at the school Wednesday, October 16. Miss H. Myra Norton, instructor of Domestic Economy, was standing in the salesroom with her back to the stove, talking to Miss Wallace. In some unexplained manner her clothing took fire and when notfeed was burning fiercely. Besides Miss Wallace there was no one in there at the time except one of the girls. The sight of the fire rendered them so nervous and excitable and everything happened so quickly, that she was fatally burned before they could render any effective assistance or even summon help. After the fire was put out she was carried to the infirmary and everything possible that medical skill and careful nursing could devise was done for her, but all to no avail. She sank gradually and shortly before supper expired. Over two thirds of her body was burned and recovery, of course, was a matter of impossibility. Her people were communicated with by telegraph and at their request the body was buried here. The floral offerings from the school, the faculty and student body were beautiful. Miss Norton was held in high esteem by all and her untimely taking off caused genuine sorrow and regret. It threw the whole school in gloom. The funeral took place Friday at 11 o'clock. Slowly and sadly the student body filed into the beautiful new memorial chapel, a subdued quietness prevailed. There was no hum as usual, but stillness. The beautiful service of the Church was read and Archdeacon Russell in most feeling and touching terms referred to the life and character of the deceased, taking occasion to press home in their relation to life and death the beautiful and simple truths of the Bible in a most impressive manner. The vested choir sang two beautiful hymns and then the remains, followed by the faculty, the whole student body and members of St. Paul Benevolent Society, were taken to the cemetery. The choir sang "Asleep in Jesus," and tenderly and lovingly her mortal remains were lowered into the open grave, the commitment services read, and amid audible sobs and tears the last sad of fices were performed and the procession returned to the school.—The Southern Missioner (Lawrenceville, Va.) Miss H. Myra Norton was for some time matron at Hoffman Hall, and subsequently precepress at Walden University. H. T. G. M. CLUB OBSERVES HALLOWE'EN. Hallowe'en was very fittingly celebrated with an at home in honor of the H. T. G. M., by Miss Georgia A. Bradford at her residence on Fourteenth avenue, North, last Thursday evening. The members of the Club were all appropriately gowned for the main number of the evening, which was a Hallowe'en drill. This drill was executed under the direction of Miss THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907 Lillian Badger with such singular grace and with every participant moving in such perfect rhythm, that many of the figures received unstinted applause. In all it was one of the prettiest drills that has ever been produced in Nashville. Miss Georgia A. Bradford, assisted by Miss Nannie I. Sumner, presided at the piano. The ladies participating in the drill were Misses Hazel Thompson, Maud Harrison, Minnie Hunter, Mollie Berry, Esther Pinkard, Georgia Watkins, Laura Smith, Bessie Martin, Alberta Davis and Carrie Bryant. op a fice undeveld F.

The names of the articles to be guessed appeared in various parts of the double parlors as riddles. The first prize, a book of toasts, went to Miss Esther Pinkard. Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher captured the consolation prize after a spirited contest with four other guests. In the true spirit of All-Hallowe'en, the witch was present with fortunes for all. Several of these fortunes scored distinctive hits. For luncheon, the members of the H. T. G. M. Club were masked in weird ghostlike apparel and auctioned off to the gentleman bidding the highest number of peanuts. The Bradford residence was decorated attractively, though extremely odd appearing with hobgoblins, black cats, H. T. G. M. Club banners and the club colors. The dining room was the marvel of all. The table was covered with beautiful cloth in autumn colors and lighted by candles with shades to match. In the center was a huge pumpkin filled to overflowing with the most luscious fruits and surrounded by tiny black cats with shining yellow eyes. Scattered over the cloth in artistic designs were autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. Bonbon dishes filled with mints were placed at regular intervals outside the circle of kittens making the table an ideal creation of abundance and weird Hallowe'en phantasy. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bostic, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Berry, Mesdames Andrew Cartwright, Lula Ellis, of Muskogee, I. T., R. S.

This is the name of a new company that has been organized and chartered under the laws of the state within the past week. The incorporators are all wide-awake, progressive men who intend to give for the benefit of the colored people an annual state and county fair. Under the leadership of Prof. F. G. Smith, the principal of Pearl High School, and in obedience to his call seven men met, discussed the object of the call and went into permanent organization. All agreed that the time was ripe and that the psychological moment was at hand when the colored people should hold a State Fair of their own. The purpose of the organization as set forth in the charter is for the "advancement, exhibition, exposition and dissemination of the products of art and trade, the farms, and schools of the colored people of Davidson County and the State of Tennessee. The company is capitalized at $10,000, divided into 10,000 shares of $1.00 each. The organizers intend this company to be a company of the people, and for that reason have fixed the shares at $1.00 each, so that the humblest laborer might take a part in it. Steps will be taken immediately to give the first annual Fair some time next Fall, either in September or October. The Association is strictly Negro, the money invested in it is Negro money, and its officers and helpers are all to be Negroes. No time, labor, energy or money will be spared to make this new enterprise a complete success. The names of the incorporators are familiar to the readers of the Globe and they are persons whose names inspire success in whatever they undertake. The company consists of F. G. Smith, J. H. Hale, Hardy L. Keith, G. E. Washington, A. N. Johnson, E. B. Jefferson, and H. A. Cameron. In a short time certificates of stock will be issued and the sale of shares placed upon the market. It is hoped that the Negro public will rally to the support of these men, as they are giving to the colored people something that is needed and are trying to devel- op a field that has thus far remained undeveloped and unnoticed. Prof. F. G. Smith, the President and General manager, has had some experience in collecting exhibits and doing exposition work. He was the State Agent for the Executive Committee of Negro Exhibits at the Jamestown Exposition and served on the Educational Committee of the Negro Department of the Tennessee Centennial. With such an energetic man it its head, the Globe sees no reason why this enterprise should not be a decided success. ST, JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH HAS NEW. PASTOR. On last Tuesday night at St. John A. M. E Church the regular weekly class meeting was held. In the early hours of the night the weather was very threatening, and under normal conditions there would not have been a dozen members out, but on this occasion a goodly number were present. The members had learned that the conference which closed its session Monday night saw fit to change their pastor and they were out to bid Dr. T. W. Haigler, their former pastor, good-bye, and to greet Dr. B. G. Gordon, recently of Shelbyville, but who has been assigned this charge. Dr. Gordon has been a very successful pastor at some of the largest charges in this state, and was elected by the last annual conference of his church as a delegate to the next general Conference, which convenes in Norfolk, Va., in May, 1908. CONCERT AND SUPPER. There will be a concert and supper at the Benevolent Hall, East Hill street, Monday night, November 11, for the benefit of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church.

The table was artistically decorated and filled with the choiceest delicacies of the season. Those invited were Mr. Henry Lausley, Mrs. Burrell, Mrs. Dan Keeble, and Mrs. Payne. REV. GRIGGS TO SPEAK IN MONT- GOMERY. The Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, pastor of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, and an author and speaker of the first magnitude, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address in Montgomery, Ala., the latter part of the month. Rev. Griggs will speak at one of the largest churches in that city and as the lecture is being well advertised, he will doubtless be greeted by a large audience. DR.

NEGRO BANKS. It is worth noting that while the banks of the country are undergoing possibly the severest strain since the panic of 1893, not a single institution run by colored men so far has been forced to suspend payment. In fact, while the depositors of white banks in New York City were withdrawing their money from one of the strongest banks in the country at the rate of $44,444 a minute, the colored business men of that city were organizing an enterprise for colored depositors. And, since then another bank has been organized in Philadelphia. This adds a feather to the cap of the colored banker and his banking methods. At the time when the National Business League held its meeting in Topeka, Kans., there were 31 banks owned, controlled and operated by Negroes in the United States, thirteen of these being in one state—Mississippi. Since then, other than the two mentioned above, one has been organized in Texas, one in Oklahoma and others have been prevented from opening in Mississippi by the refusal of Governor Vardaman to issue charters to any more Negro business enterprises in that state. These colored banks are all enjoying prosperity and the colored bankers are to be congratulated that unlike the New York bankers, whose reckless investment of the funds of the depositors in venturesome business enterprises destroyed the confidence of the public and brought about the financial flurry in Wall street, they have been conservative in conducting the affairs of their corporations. The colored banks will come out of the flurry stronger in the people's confidence for having withstood the strain and will command and deserve more business can ever before. THE ELECTION AND BROWNSVILLE. Theodore: Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, when they examine the returns from the elections held Tuesday and think of Brownsville, can well exclaim in full accord with Lady Macbeth: "Out damned spot." For they will find cold comfort from the returns. In most of the states where the republican party was successful, the reactionaries were in the ascendancy. In Ohio, Mr. Roosevelt's candidate for Mayor, the Hon. Theodore Burton, was undoubtedly defeated by the votes of Negroes led by Harry Smith, the veteran editor of the Cleveland Gazette. In Cincinnati the Cox machine, which Secretary Taft defeated in a previous campaign, landed a republican victory. In Pennsylvania, "the gang" which has no particular love THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY..NOVEMBER 8. 1907. for Mr. Roosevelt nor his policies, won in a walk. New Jersey, which has been counted as safely a republican state for a number of years, is so close that it will probably take the official count to decide which ticket won. In New York City the republican Independence League fusion ticket which was engineered by Mr. Herbert Parsons, a man whom it is claimed was made chairman of the republican committee through the influence of the administration, was snowed under by Tammany. Even Little Rhode Island re-elected its democratic Governor. Perhaps though the President and Mr. Taft can extract some consolation from the fact that Kentucky, one of the states of the solid South, has been brought into the republican fold. That Brownsville has played a part in the election is evident from the instructions sent to campaigners in New York previous to the election: "Don't mention Roosevelt's name when addressing Negroes." In Cleveland, Burton's opposition to Foraker, because of the latter's break with the President on account of the Brownsville investigation, was made the basis of the colored voters' opposition to the republican ticket. In Kentucky though the colored voters supported the ticket—it was only after the state convention had refused to endorse Taft for President. The Brownsville injustice has made itself felt at the polls and it should cause the republican party to sit up and take notice. A party name will not make all men vote to endorse wrong doing. THE REFORMATORY. A majority of the people of Tennessee don't care a fig where the state reformatory is located just so it is built. There may be several good reasons why the institution should not be located at the Hermitage, but the one advanced by the Hermitage Association seems far-fetched. "Ninety percent of the 'dear bad boys' are Negroes, and to have this class seen in the fields, working on the farm, flocking around the building, hanging around the Hermitage itself, would be a disgrace to the State of Tennessee," says the Regent of the Ladies' Hermitage Association. A criminal is a criminal no matter to what branch of the human family he may belong and it would be no more nor no less a disgrace for a Negro of this class to hang around the Hermitage than it would be for one of another race. Any objection to the location of the reformatory on this historic ground should be on account of the placing of a state penal institution, per se, on grounds hallowed by the memory of Tennessee's greatest statesman, and not because "ninety per cent" of the inmates of the establishment will be Negroes. The Regent of the Ladies' Hermitage Association doubtless forgets that during the life of "Andy" Jackson, enjoyed the love and respect of "his Negroes" and reciprocated the same more than ninety per cent of those who hung around the Hermitage and worked on the farm were Negroes. The question of locating a building for the reformation of boys who have strayed from the paths of rectitude should be above that of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Mississippi as usual elected the entire democratic ticket. There is one redeeming feature to this though, it retires Vardaman to private life. Too much Johnson, too much Brownsville and too much Foraker defeated Theodore Burton in Cleveland, Ohio. With the price of the necessities of life soaring up near the Milky Way, the Thanksgiving Turkey will be out of the range of the average man's telescope. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is saying some things about the conditions which the average servant girl must face in many of the homes of the South, which make very bad reading, yet we would take her word for it in preference to some of the preachers who place her in the same category with Ben Tillman. That there is much truth in Mrs. Terrell's charges is evident from the number of white men daily seen consorting with Negro strumpets. To find just how much truth there is in her statement though, we think it would pay those, who fear that the line of demarcation between the races will be crossed, for an investigation. The Richmond (Va.) Planet thinks that the colored plasterers of De Moines, Iowa, who presented Roosevelt with a walking cane should have called in a minister to make the presentation speech. We wonder if a delegation of colored bankers or newspaper men, in both of which callings Editor John Mitchell is a leading light, would be advised to call in a minister to make the presentation speech in the event either should decide to give a present to the President? One of the best and most prolific writers to the colored press of the country has begun a war on the contributors to colored newspapers who torture good usage of language with such senseless titles as "Mrs. Dr.," "Mrs. Bishop," "Mrs. Lawyer," etc. This purist might add a few editors and lecture them on the phrase "present incumbent." Almost every business man in the city recognizes the need of an organization composed of bona fide business men. Almost every one can see the advantage to be derived from such an organization; then, why not get together, bury petty jealousies and form such a body? THE NEGRO AND JUSTICE. In respect to its history, the negro question has little in common with the race's famous representative in fiction who "jes' grown;" wherever one may incline to place the responsibility for its birth, the fact remains that since it was begotten it has been nourished and guarded against dissolution as carefully as an incubator baby. However, the nation as a whole may busy its fickle mind from season to season with trust investigations, trades' unions, polygamy, socialism and woman's rights, one section of it steadfastly and with ever-growing enthusiasm has invited the country's contemplation of its own pet issue, and has labored night and day to adorn in scarlet hue the race question which it itself has made. It is an old saying that any lover may win the most reluctant sweetheart if he but persist stoutly and long. If the plan pursued by the South has been evolved from this primitive principle of courtship, results would seem in a fair way to justify the soundness of it. There can hardly be a doubt that the Southern view of the negro's character and destiny is gaining a wider acceptance, and it does not need the Southern newspaper's jubilant comment upon every exhibition of race prejudice outside the borders of the Solid South to convince candid persons of the distasteful fact. Until recently I had believed and argued that Northern antinegro sentiment was confined to the ignorant, who resented his competition in labor, and those sweet-tempered individuals whom a real desire to show a kindly and sympathetic spirit toward the South had led to believe that acquiescence in its views was "broad-minded." I am forced to admit that the latter class at least is very much larger than I had once supposed. As these amiable people are presumably always especially open to conviction, it is to them that I would particularly address myself. The ardent supporter of a theory rarely sees its defects; far less is he able to give any just presentation of it when peculiar circumstances have led him to elevate the theory to the dignity of a cause for which he is being persecuted. This is precisely the Southern position in respect to the race question; hence it may be judged how large a grain of salt must be taken with all Southern descriptions of existing conditions. The most scholarly men of the South, calm enough reasoners upon other themes, speak and write of the negro in the impassioned, white-hot style of the popular orator. When the subject thus upsets the man of learning, a judicial attitude is hardly to be expected from the multitude or the partisan newspaper. One of the latter, commenting bitterly upon some reproof administered to the South by a Northern Democratic sheet desirous of blaming somebody for the results of the last Presidential election, said: "The South will join no party . . . that wishes to treat negroes as gentlemen, and to compare 'negro scholars' with 'white ignoramuses' or 'negro gentlemen' with 'white black guards.'"

The Little Gem is yet the leader of the up-town shops. Call to see us at whichever shop is convenient to you. STRINGER & THOMAS, Props. Such is the admitted platform of the section which "only asks to be let alone" to "work out its own problem." Does its just and temperate tone appeal to Northerners inclined to accept the Southern view of the race issue? It is not, under ordinary circumstances, an admirable thing to attempt to mind other people's business, but when your neighbor beats his wife or drags her around by the hair, interference is not commonly an unjustifiable impertinence. And that, too, he may defend his methods of discipline by a very truthful assertion that he knows her fallings better than anybody else because he lives with her. Proximity, when once conjugal affection has begun to give way to irritation, may be the very thing which blinds him to all else but her failings. Very similar, it seems to me, is the case of the Southerner and the negro. The credulous outsider, especially if afflicted with the prevailing arrogance because of his descent from a tribe of German barbarians, lays all stress upon the closeness of their relations, totally overlooks the fact that here too proximity has bred irritation rather than any real acquaintance, and "swallows whole" a one-sided account of conditions in the South. So a Northern paper, in commenting upon the late Atlanta disturbances, expressed surprise that Southern men had shown as much moderation as they had, altho it did add the saving clause, "if what Atlanta papers say is true." But passing over the now familiar episodes of the Atlanta massacres, let us see what is done in cold blood, when no reported "assault" has roused men to what they may regret in saner moments. In New Orleans they substitute for the Jim Crow car proper a screen in all cars between the ends designed for white and colored passengers. Last year, in course of extended reconstruction of the car tracks, the switching of cars to other routes was frequently necessary. In the case of one line this involved the reversing of the cars, and thus arose a (to the Southern mind) complication which can be best appreciated thru extracts from a half-column article in one of the leading dalles: "Complaints have been received because of the disagreeable and annoying conditions created by the change in the route of the Prytania street car. It is urged that unless remedied bad blood is bound to result, and clashes between the races are probable. The Jim Crow law provides that the separate compartment for negroes shall be located in the rear of each street car. When the car is reversed, in switching into Poryfarre, however, the negroes are in the front of the car. Yesterday the conductors transferred the screens, dividing the white and negro passengers; when the change was made and required the passengers to change seats, necessitating a general move upon the part of white and negro passengers. Frequently in the evening the Prytania cars are crowded with theatergoers in evening dress. If the negroes are allowed to retain their seats, they will be obliged, on entering or leaving, to crowd through the car from the rear to the front, elbowing the ladies and creating almost unendurable conditions. If, as was practiced yesterday, the whites and blacks are required to change seats, the same disagreeable crush and shouldering of the two races will ensue. When seats and aisles are crowded, as is often the case, bad temper and bad blood are sure to grow out of this attempt of the blacks to crowd through the aisles, or in the interchange of seats, and clashes between the races are not only possible but very probable. Patrons of the line are indignant at the method in use yesterday." The Prytania car line runs through A. B. HOMAS, Props. FIFTH AVENUE STYLES. THIRD AVENUE PRICE.

The small compartment reserved for them is rarely filled, and at the hour when "the cars are crowded with theatergoers in evening dress" there is frequently not a Negro in the car. To this providential circumstance is doubtless due the fact that the reconstruction of the Prytania street tracks was finally accomplished without the precipitation of a race war! This eagerness to cross the bridge before they come to it, this sensitivity to the prospect of possible "shouldering" by a negro passing to a front seat on the part of people who without a qualm risk the same contact when they crowd past him in a rear seat is a type of the manifestations of the race issue in its larger aspects. For that reason I have quoted it. It may be readily gathered from this how easily every suspicious movement is converted into an "as sault." My personal observation indicates that the reiterated cry of the Southern newspaper that "conditions are becoming well nigh unbearable" is, to say the least, a conspicious exaggeration. And I think that my observation should count for something, for I am a white woman, living in one of the larger, and, by common consent, one of the wickedest of Southern cities in which I go about unattended day or night whenever occasion arises as it does very often. At all times I meet negro men; my only approach to an unpleasant experience in all my life has been on two occasions when I was spoken to by fashionably dressed young white men. I know a very considerable number of other women who go about alone as I do, among them a young physician, who answers all her night calls unmolested. Such "conditions" seem hardly "unbearable." Doubless so long as woman continues to be looked upon as the pet of the respectable man and the prey of the vicious, she must everywhere run a certain risk whenever she ventures abroad alone, but women have met more ghastly fates in Chicago and (Continued on page 6.)

Wartrace to be present at a family reunion Sunday. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Webster, will entertain with a 'possum dinner to which a large number of relatives have been invited. Special services were also held at Howard Congregational Church last Sunday, Rev. G. L. Imes, the new pastor, who comes to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. James Bond, preaching his initial sermon. He made a good impression upon his audience, taking for the theme of his discourse, "Love," and regarding it as one of the most potent factors in the life and happiness of man, a great world problem, solved only by the life and works of Christ, as manifested in his work for man while on earth. His text was, "A New Commandment I give unto you that ye love one another as I have loved you." He stated that many people desired various things for their personal and selfish satisfaction in life, some the pleasures of the senses, some fame, wealth and glory, others power, but at the end each must lay these down, and the soul would find itself naked and gaunt in its miserable poverty. In the course of his remarks he said "In these days of economic development, fraught with strife, rivalry and competition, we are perfectly familiar with the situations in which those manifestations which we commonly recognize as the activities of love, but the by-products, as it were, of the whole system, designed themselves to further selfish ends. In the struggle for place, power and preferment, little time is given to think how another fares, unless it be to watch that he win not in the race. Not so is love, but with mind, heart, strength, every energy is bent in the complete denial of self, to the end that the lives touched in daily contact may each one be enlarged, strengthened and purified. Love is unchangeable, it is eternal; it is undivided. To take one's all and in act of lifelong devotion, pour it out in the service of kindred passing souls; to consciously choose the highest, noblest ends of existence, and with all one's capacities, energies and being, strive for the realization, not in intangible ideals, but as identified with striving, yearning, living flesh and blood—this is love. As we go about our work, as we intend the helping of men's lives by our words and deeds, Jesus saith unto us, 'This is my commandment, that you love one another even as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.' Exchange." REV. J. L. HARDING IMPROVING. A letter dated October 29, from Denver, Col., written to Mr. H. A. Boyd assistant secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, from Rev J. L. Harding, a member of the Publishing Board, who is in Denver for his health, states that he is improving rapidly, and that he already feels greatly the benefit of his sojourn in the West. He desires to be remembered to all inquiring friends and especial solicits their prayers. He did not know at the time of writing when he would return to the Volunteer State. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.

THERE WILL BE (Continued from Page 4.) other cities than the "unspeakable crime" of the Southern negro. Yet there is no frenzy over "unbearable conditions," nor do infuriated citizens follow up the murders by burning a few tramps at he stake as a relief to the emotions an pro bono publico. I do not mean to speak lightly of the "unspeakable crime," but I do think that I am in a position to say that impression being so industriously spread by the Southern press that women dare not venture outside their doors alone is utter nonsense. And further, save that its hideous brutality is more shocking, I do not see that the crime of the negro is more awful in its actual results than the same PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES.

H. BOYD, Secretary. 23 Second Ave. N. Nashville, Tenn. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907. impulse gratified by the more refined methods of the white man. The motherless girl whose death sometime ago from effects of a criminal operation caused a sensation in a certain Western city was no less surely murdered by the respectable (?)married man who ruined her than if she had been attacked suddenly upon a dark street or lonesome country road. And if she had lived, the effect upon her character and after life would have been something to which the fate of the negro brute's victim is in no way comparable. I hope that I am not an ungrateful member of my sex, but truly, considering the moral standards of men in general, the present crusade to "protect the purity of white womanhood" seems to me about the most exquisitely funny thing that our national life has developed in many years. It might save the life of a considerable number of Negroes if he who is without sin among the lynchers could be required to fire the first shot. If womanhood is indeed so sacred a thing, it is hard for me to understand why it is only to revered and guarded when accompanied by a white skin. Also the protection of white women against occasional assaults of black men would appear to be a somewhat inadequate provision for maintaining the much desired "race purity." The following pleasant little story of an ex-Confederate officer, gentlemen and father of a family, will perhaps illustrate my meaning: Several years ago he and his family were living in the home of the young woman who told the story to me. She said: "Colonel Y. was simply wild over the 'Booker Washington incident'; he could hardly talk of anything else but the outrage of it, and the kind of man it must be who would associate with a nigger. Well, that winter mamma had the worst time with her house-girls; she just couldn't keep one a month to save her life. Finally, when a particularly good one gave notice, manma concluded to ask her why she wasn't satisfied with the place. She said: 'I like the place well enough, Mrs. E., but you can't keep any house-girls as long as Colonel Y. stays here.' Then she told mamma that that was why every girl had left; that there was no place in the house where they were safe from the advances of Colonel Y.; that he even stopped them in the halls and followed them into the rooms where they were doing up the work." As this same young lady had previously recounted to me her indignation at seeing a colored woman in one of the large stores actually trying on a silk lined suit, "trying to dress as well as white people," it will not be supposed that she was influenced by any "academic" doctrines of negro equality when she ended by saying: "I don't like niggers any better than anybody, but it did make me tired to hear a man who was ready to make love to the blackest negro serv and girl, rant about the 'contamination' of sitting down to lunch with a man like Booker Washington." Since this uncompromising defender of "race purity" and foe to "social equality" is prominent and influential in high social circles, the assumption seems moderately just that among his associates his methods of warfare for social betterment in the South are considered neither unusual nor unbecoming. But it would be unjust to say that all this talk concerning the "protection of white womanhood" is now confined exclusively to Southern men. A rather strong novel appeared recently whose plot hinged upon that very idea. I read it as the one-sided plea of a clever monomaniac upon the paramount Southern issue. Great was my amazement to learn a few months later that he was born in Republican Iowa. And, speaking of Iowa, it was its capital city which distinguished itself not so very long ago by attempting, even if not so offensively as Southern papers joyously reported, to draw "the color line" in the Presbyterian General Assembly: what is even less to the city's credit, tho less generally known, a small riot occurred on its streets last summer because a woman was pushed off the sidewalk by some disorderly negroes, and the Register and Leader, known ordinarily for its editorial championship of the black race, permitted an enterprising reporter to write up the incident in a style that would have done credit to the most sensational Southern sheet. The Southern man may possess an excessive share of his sex's chivalric ambition to protect woman from every masculine brute except himself, but it is manifestly base slander to assert that he has a monopoly on it. Yet, true as this is, the burden of responsibility for the increasing acuteness of the race issue rests with the Southerner, for it is his perpetual harp upon it, rather than "an inherent race antipathy," that is upsetting the Northerner's "academic" notions of "abstract" justice to all men. Even in the South it is not "inherent" race antipathy that is to blame. The Southerner has no "antipathy" to the negro as a negro; daily contact with him as an inferior exites not the slightest emotion. It is the black man's ambition, not his black skin, that gives offense. An ignorant colored nurse traveling with a white family disturbs nobody in sleeper or dining-car; but when educated negroes petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for decent railway accommodations, for which they are willing and able to pay, the act is characterized as "impudent and unspeakably brazen." The colored valet of a college student was once the friend of all the boys; now they will not live in the same boarding-hall with a negro undergraduate, and if a Northern college would be boycotted by Southern students, it has only to get a reputation for encouraging the attendance of black ones. The negro maid tricked out in her mistress's cast-off finery is not an element of disturbance; ominous is her thirst for "social equality" if she pays for her own silk petticoat. And we are solemnly informed that hitherto inoffensive negroes who served as soldiers in the Spanish War came back from Cuba "completely spoilt" by the social privileges which they saw there accorded to members of their race. If the apparently innocent ambitions of the negro are thus estimated, is it likely that their real offenses are reported without exaggeration? I have no desire, certainly, to whitewash negro crime, but it is not always the negro who begins the trouble—in a late disturbance in Arkansas even a Southern reporter's version could not conceal that fact—yet he always gets the credit for it. The Atlanta riot was followed in one Southern town by the posting of threatening notices upon the houses of even the most respectable negroes. The white citizens, touched by the alarm of these unfortunate creatures, called a meeting to make provision for their protection. Its result was a long set of resolutions, whose numerous "whereases" opened by announcing that efforts to educate and elevate the negro had proven vain, and the declaration of its purpose to "protect the lives and purity of our women and children" required so much space and eloquence that the original object of the meeting was overlooked until the very last paragraph! It is strange that we cannot see that if we go on alienating the better negroes by such persistent unfairness, if, after repeatedly calling upon them for co-operation in suppressing crime among their race, we give a slap in the face to those who publicly respond to the appeal by echoing the sentiment of many newspapers that "we can never be sure that tenders of co-operation now coming from negroes in many portions of the South are genuine," the plan of closing the dives where negro criminals are bred, good as it is in itself, must be surely futile. Again, however little we like today's negro as compared with the delightful old-time "mammy" and "uncle," it is he with whom our generation has to deal, and we cannot bring back the old type. My old washerwoman is, I confess, more picturesquely attractive to me than her daughter, who can read and owns a piano, but I must in fairness say that the latter is just as honest and just as proud of the artistic touches which she puts upon my summer gowns and what her mother calls my "wais'es." Is it not the merest common sense to cease our lamentations for the negro that is passing away, and offer fair recognition and encouragement to him who now is, whether he would study agriculture or Greek? Call him "inferior" always, if that idea is comforting, but remember that it is not from the schools that negro criminals come, and let him be educated for our safety, if not for his benefit. As to "social equality," social lines have ever been drawn, or I am mistaken, upon considerations of congeniality. Never having been compelled to invite to my house people whom I found distasteful, I fail to see why any Southern white man should ever entertain a negro guest against his will—or why it is any of his business if a Northern man wish to do so. And since all of us have been in dining-cars and hotels with highly objectable white people and still survived, I suppose that nothing but our "uncompromising racial pride" would suffer much from like proximity to a respectable and intelligent negro. And, finally, I cannot understand this self-felicitation of Southern scholars, lawmakers and ministers of the Gospel, no less than of thoughtless people and partisan editors, that "the North is coming to our view of the negro." Such men are supposed to look thoughtfully into the future. Do they find it, then, an advance step in the solution of our problem that we have in our land some millions of people for whom there is now no place either North or South—except, to be sure, our kitchens and our back yards?—The Independence.

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. --- FOR FURTHER INFORMATION APPY TO THE NON-RESIDENT NOTICE. Feb'y Rules, 1908.

PROF. KEALING'S ADDRESS. Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Review, delivered an address Monday night to a crowded house at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, on "How Much Should a Man Weigh?" The lecture was full of apt illustrations and beautiful figures, all tending to throw lights of ornamentation over facts otherwise dry and uninteresting. He enumerated the physical principles governing the weight of matter and applied them to the metaphysical and psychical entities. In the course of his remarks, the speaker said: "There are spiritual weights as well as avoirdupois. Indeed, the greater weight of man is spiritual. There are weights which assist and weights which beset or hinder. There are weights which drag and weights which lift. "There are a few fundamental principles applying to material weight which apply also to spiritual weight. Indeed, all natural things have their spiritual counterparts. It was the favorite idea of Ralph Waldo Emerson that each material thing is intended to symbolize a truth or spiritual essence. The smallest bodies often hold the largest souls, and those who weigh least in the world of contention and politics, count most in the uplift of the home and the human soul. "Who can estimate woman's weight in this regard? Who can count the weight of a pure life, a sympathetic heart and a helping hand in the community? Who can weigh the influence, softening and sweet, of a little child in the home devoid of wealth and ease?" APPOINTMENTS READ. Bishop Lee at the close of Prof. Kealing's address read the appointments after reading an instructive charge to the ministers. The appointments follow: Nashville District—T. W.

Mrs. Hill being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Petway. The affair was very elaborate in every detail, and many were the friends present who enjoyed the hos? pitality of the host and hostess. Music was the feature of the evening. MRS. MONTAGUE'S DINNER PARTY. Mrs. A. E. Montague, of Fourth avenue, South, entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. J. H. Jumper, of Hughes, Tenn.

There is all evidence that the Negro business men of Nashville are awakening from their long sleep, and have determined to co-operate with one another for the benefit of every business enterprise in the race. This fact was plainly evident at an enthusiastic meeting called at the rooms of the One Cent Savings Bank Wednesday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to organize or to discuss the advisability of forming an organization that would serve this purpose. Many efforts have been put forth from time to time to meet these requirements. For instance, the Local Business League was supposed to have covered this particular field, but owing to their failure to do so, it became necessary to perfect another organization. Quite an number of business enterprises and organizations were represented at the meeting. Dr. R. S. White representing Belleview School; C. N. Langston, One Cent Savings Bank; G. F. Anderson and P. W Adams, the Colored Bar Association; J. F. Battle, representing Boyd & Battle Livery Stable, with the Nashville Horse Show and Athletic Association; A. N. Johnson representing the Johnson Undertaking Establishment; Henry A. Boyd, the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and the Nashville Globe; J. C. Napier, the One Cent Savings Bank; T. Clay Moore real estate agent; E. B. Jefferson dentist and Dr. C. V. Roman eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. Dr. F. G. Smith, representing the Tennessee Educational, Industrial and Agricultural Fair Association, and Mr J. B. Bosley. Judging from the important talks made it seems to be the sense of the meeting to go into permanent organization. After the selection of J. S. Martin as temporary chairman and Dr. R. S. White as temporary secretary, a motion to this effect was adopted. A committee of three was selected on constitution and by-laws and will report on Wednesday evening. November 13. Every business man in the city, as well as the profession among colored people, is solicited to be present at the meeting, which will be held in the directors' rooms of the One Cent Savings Bank. HAMPTON STATION NOTES. The colored people of Hampton Station have just completed a church building valued at Fifteen hundred ($1,500) dollars under the able leadership of Rev. G. W. Hampton as pastor. Rev. Mr. Hampton is a young man and his ordination dates back to the year 1901. He is a scholar and a man of broad, liberal views, having attended State Normal, Frankfort, Ky.; University of Wilberforce, Roger Williams University, and is now a student of Fisk University. Since entering the ministry he has served creditably as pastor of Baptist churches at Erin and Woodlawn, Tenn. Since early last spring he has devoted his entire time to erection of this church. Hampton Station is situated four miles from Guthrie, Ky., on the Memphis division of the L. & N. Railroad. Its location is ideal and makes a lasting impression upon passengers on trains as to thrift and enlightenment of the community. It is modern in structure, complete in its appointments; and stands as a monument to the untiring zeal and ceaseless energy of Rev. Mr. Hampton. Sunday, the 3rd inst., the church was taxed to its utmost capacity. Special services were held. Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor of Fifth Baptist Church, Clarksville, Tenn. Miss R. J. Carter, a missionary under auspices of Home Mission Board, New York City, and others assisted in services. Quite a nice sum was given by the congregation to the pastor. The church does not owe anything for building. CARNATION CLUB Mrs. C. C. Winstead entertained the Carnation Club Monday afternoon at her residence, 1000 Horton street. The house was charmingly decorated with flowers and ferns. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. Lawrence Moore. After an hour had been spent in work, Mrs. P. A. Washington and Mrs. L. E. Battle rendered several musical selections. At 5 o'clock the guests were invited into the dining room where a two-course luncheon with ices was served. The table was beautifully decorated with its drawn linen cloth, having a centerpiece of embroidered roses on which rested a stand of roses. The Club's guest was Mrs. L. E. Battle. The club will meet with Mrs. Geo. W. Ward, corner of Bass and Ewing avenue, next Monday. present were Mesdames H. M. Burns Geo. W. Ward, P. A. Simms, Hal Duff, W. S. Amos, Sidney Bond, P. A.

Monday afternoon on Braden Field at Walden University, the Tigers from Pearl School met the Cubs of the Walden literary department. The Cubs presented a team far heavier than the team which defeated Pearl earlier in the season, but although outweighed, the High School line played its heavier opponents to a standstill and often went through their line for good gains. The first half was played through without either side scoring, but early in the second half a Walden back fumbled a ball, which was secured by Hurt who ran 50 yards to a touchdown for Pearl. W. Davis kicked the goal. A few minutes later Walden blocked a punt by Davis, who immediately recovered the ball for Pearl, but instead of giving the ball to Pearl for first down as should have been done, the official gave the ball to Walden, who pushed the ball over for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. The features of the game were two forward passes by Pearl for a gain of about 50 yards. Walden's men played a good game but were a little too slow for the more speedy youngsters from the High School. Both teams played a clean game. Final Score—Pearl, 6, Walden 5. Summary—Touchdown for Walden —. Touchdown for Pearl, Hurt. Goal from touchdown, Pearl, W. Davis. Time of game 15 minute halves.

M. == == 50c Johnson is in Trouble Again. Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, who declares he forced Jeffries to retire, is in trouble again and may be dragged into court as a result. Now that he has signed for a bout with Jim Flynn and with Sam Fitzpatrick ready to start West, Zeke Abrams has come to the front with the announcement that he is the real manager of the colored boxer. He produces a contract on which Johnson's signature appears to prove his statement. Johnson is now training at Joe Millet's place near Colma, with Denver Ed Martin and Joe Willis as sparring partners. Johnson claims that his contract with Abrams, dated May 27, was only temporary and that Fitzpatrick is his real manager. Abrams claims that Johnson owes him a "couple of hundred," and says that he and no one else is going to manage him. To Match Jeff and Johnson. Tex Rickard has taken up the fight business again and is after the biggest match that has ever been pulled off in the United States. "Congratulations on your defeat of Flynn. In event of Johnson defeating Burns will offer the biggest purse ever given for a fight for a match between him and Jeffries, the only stipulation being that the fight be held in Nevada." Rickard says he will go as high as $40,000 for the match. He says Jeffries has no reason to draw the color line, as he has met negroes before in the ring, and that if he falls to come through the public will demand some other explanation. Ten of Greatest Fighters that ever Entered Ring. George Siler, James J. Corbet, Tom McCarey and some other fistic authorities have informally decided that these ten men are the greatest fighters that the prize ring has developed in this country. Peter Jackson, Joe Gans, Joe Wolcott, George Dixon, James J. Jeffries, Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jack Dempsey, Young Mitchell and George Lavigne. John L. Sullivan, Tommy Burns, Kid McCoy, Terry McGovern and Young Corbett were not given a place in the roll because they were considered mere sluggers. England Draws Color Line. "There will be no more fights in England for Negro fighters," said F. Bernard to day. "The National Sporting Club has put its foot down upon the unbleached boxers and in the future none but white men will be allowed to box." Bernard is the man who took "Big Sam" McVey, the Negro heavyweight, over to England to meet Gunner Moir, but returned when he heard the news. "We had one fight over there before the National Club," said Bernard, "and Manager Bettison treated us like kings, but after that he told us that there would be no more. He said London sports won't have their champion beaten by a Negro and McVey was not given a chance." Walcott Knocks out Payne. With only a few minutes remaining in the last round of the six-round contest between Joe Wolcott, of Boston, and Billy Payne, of Philadelphia, tonight, the latter was counted out. In the sixth round G. L. Crockett. who refereed the bout, threw Walcott through the ropes into the crowd because the latter disregarded his command to "break" in a clinch. In the excitement following this move Walcott climbed back into the ring and when Payne faced him again, delivered a blow which sent the Philadelphia man to the floor for the full count. Joe Gans Buys Auto—Will Drive Car Himself. Joe Gans, the old master has purchased an automobile. He paid for the machine $5,865 in cash. Last Wednesday Gans entered the salesroom of Palmer & Singer Company in New York, and spoke to W. B. Raymond, salesman for the company. Raymond did not recognize him in his swell togs, and, being a wise man, he did not figure upon the colored man as a "come on" by any means. He talked automobile to him, and offered him a second-hand car at a figure of $3,000. Gans very quickly undeceived Raymond, stating that what he wanted was a new car and a high power car with all the fixings. He immediately ordered placed upon the panel of the door a triangle in which is inscribed in gold letters, "Joe Gans, Goldfield Hotel." The great fighter had his first ride in the car Thursday morning and will drive it himself. In speaking of the purchase, Joe said: "I have had fitted to this car one of those French screechers, for I want everybody to get out of any way. It would not do for me to hit anybody, for that would be a sort of publicity I would not want. It is all right to hit them when you are getting the money, but I am afraid that this kind of striking would cost me some. I am satisfied that this car is an automobile in which I will be safe and I do not believe that I shall break it up for a moment. It is not my intention to race, and should any or my old opponents challenge me, I shall refuse to take part in any contest whatsoever." Gans had his car shipped to Baltimore and he will drive it around there. When he purchased it the most wonderful fighter of his time said that he had put $75 in his pocket, but that he was good for the amount as he was then building a big hotel in Baltimore. The following day he returned and the roll he pulled out of his pants' pocket would have choked a horse. It started with $1,000 bills and ended with them. FIRE IN REAR OF WILSON'S IN FIRMARY. Considerable excitement was manifested Thursday morning when it was learned that a fire was in progress at Wilson's Infirmary. It was learned later that the fire broke out in one of Dr. Wilson's houses in the rear. Two buildings with effects were totally destroyed. The loss was considerable both to Dr. Wilson and those who occupied the houses. It was not learned just how the fire originated. MRS. SAMPLE'S SOCIAL. Mrs. Cyrus Sample, of 627 Fogg street, entertained a few of her friends Wednesday night. Games and dancing was the programme for the occasion. A two-course menu was served. Those present were Misses Myrtle Overall, Sarah Watkins, Venson Lula Terry, Helen Woods, Messrs. Samuel Alexander, McClory G. Ewing, M. S. Austin, Crockett, Drs. A. Jones, Johnson, Stanley, Moore, West and Mrs. V. Williams, Drs. Moore, Jones and Miss Helen Wood presided at the piano. SE BROS. STOVES AND CARPETS TO SUIT EVERYBODY.

An interesting news item comes to Nashville from Centerville. Tenn. It is to the effect that the excellent work of T. J. Clinisson, B. S., who is principal of the Centerville Normal and Preparatory School at that place, has arrested the attention of the white people in the surrounding community. So much so that in a recent visit to the school they were sufficiently impressed to the extent that they have agreed to take up the entire indebtedness of the school and make it in the form of a donation for the excellent work done since its establishment. Prof. Clinisson is a product of Fisk University of this city and is very prominent in Pythian circles, being the District Deputy G. C. and G. W. C. of the Tennesse see Grand Lodge, K. of P.

A GENERAL RALLY FOR ROGER WILLIAMS. Everything is about in readiness for the general rally for Roger Williams University, which is to take place on the university grounds Sunday November 10. All the Baptist pastors in the city with their congregations will participate in this general rally, and it is already agreed that the various churches will meet on the ground at 2:30 p.m. They will go on the street cars, taking the North First street line, East Nashville, and ride to White's Creek pike, getting off and taking wagons that will be in waiting to convey all citizens and church people who will attend. A large attendance is expected. This general rally is for the purpose of securing funds to purchase heating apparatuses for the new building. Rev. Dr. C. H. Clark and Dr. A. M. Townsend compose the special committee that has charge of this part of the work. Many prominent speakers have been invited to appear on the program. Good music and good singing will be a feature of the occasion MEHARRY NOTES. Mr. W. A. Holmes, vice president of the Y. M. C. A., is improving sufficient to be discharged. He has been in Mercy Hospital under the treatment of Dr. J. A. McMillan, who operated on him several days ago. The Sophs say that the characteristic expressions of three of their tutors prove an inspiration to them when called on to recite, namely: "Mr. Gray says, and he's an authority."—Dr. Burrus. "Make me a complete statement."—Dr. Lester. "You must get the right word."—Dr. Townsend. Dean Hubbard's interest in the boys of Meharry extends to the very last one. No matter that may affect a student is too small to escape his notice. This in large part accounts for the wonderful success he has had in building this great school. At a recent meeting the Sophs elected the following officers for the present year: M. V. Umble, president; J. A. Martin, Vice President; M. I. Brown, Secretary; M. L.
