THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they mustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boud. VOL. II. NEW QUARTERS FOR BAPTIST Publishing House on Second Avenue, North. TWO SPACIOUS BUILDINGS NEARING COMPLETION. GREAT CONCERN THE PRIDE OF THE RACE—UNEQUALLED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG NEGRO TO STUDY TWENTIETH CENTURY MACHINERY-AUTOMATIC PRESS FEEDERS INSTALLED-ALL WORK ON BUILDINGS AND MACHINERY DONE BY NEGROES. In making the eleventh annual report of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in this city, to the National Baptist Convention, which convened in Washington, D. C., September 11-17, 1907, Dr. R. H. Boyd stated that contracts had been made for about $20,000 worth of the latest improved machinery; that new buildings were being erected; and that altogether about $35,000 would be spent during the ensuing fiscal year, thus adding to the facilities for getting out more work and better work. A visit to this plant by your correspondent reveals the fact that the buildings are now complete. One three and a half-story brick with an eleighteen-inch wall, double floors, inlaid with fiber, windows on the four sides, is to be used as a manufacturing building. On the first floor is an up-to-date pressroom with nine printing presses. On three of these presses is to be seen the new cross automatic continuous paper feeder. The capacity of the cylinder presses is from 12,000 to 15,000 impressions every ten hours. There is one new Miehle printing press, a regular book press, which will enable the Board at least to keep up with the enormous increase in the demand for its output of Sunday school song books and periodicals. This is an addition in presses to those now in operation. There is not a more complete pressroom in the city of Nashville, notwithstanding it is the home of publishing houses. The second floor is occupied by the bookbinding department, complete and well managed. New machinery, consisting of a Dexter folding machine and a Fuller's folder paper feeder, has been added to this department, which already could easily boast of being the most complete bookbinding establishment operated by Negroes in the world. The third floor will be the composing and proof departments. The addition to these departments is a Washington hand press to be used for taking impressions, printing banners, etc. The two linotype machines, the stereotyping outfit, with the scores of cases of type, will be in place the latter part of this week. There is an elevator in the building and a basement, one new 45-horse power engine that will run the machinery and make the electric lights for the plant. In the second building, which is two stories, the mailing rooms, the counting rooms and sales department will occupy the first floor, while the editorial rooms, the field secretary's office and the chapel will occupy the second floor. One of the unique features of this institution is its devotional exercises, which are held at 9:30 each morning, it being earnestly requested of each employee, unless especially excused, to be present. Dr Boyd, the inaugurator and founder of the institution, as well as the promoter of the movement, pays a high compliment to these devotional exercises declaring that on this hinges what ever success the institution has at tained. When all of the departments shall have moved to their new quarters, the entire Baptist publishing plant -will be practically under one roof-that is you can go through four of the buildings without going out of doors. Yet six buildings are occupied, namely: one three-story, three two-story and two one-story buildings. The indications are that during the next fiscal year the circulation in the periodicals will reach 12,000,000, while the output as a whole will be about 15 per cent above that of this year. Nothing has NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1907. A. N. JOHNSON been so surprising and astonishing as the rapid growth of this institution. Dr. Boyd has been out of the office for more than six weeks. All of his time has been given to the personal management and arrangement of these improvements, giving none of the enormous correspondence any personal attention. He stated to the correspondent that it was absolutely necessary to leave the office work and correspondence to the assistant secretary, in order to superintend the work now so near completion. It is impossible to specify the extensive improvements that are now being made. STATE FAIR ASSOCIAS Permanently Organized Wednesday Night. HON. J. C. NAPIER WAS ELI THE EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS. The sixth annual session of the educational congress of West Tennessee was held with the Liberty C. M. E. Church and the Berean Baptist Church in this city, November 28, 29. This was by far the greatest session known in the history of the congress. The programs which had been prepared were by far the most interesting, and there were many talented persons taking special part in the music, while some of the brainiest men in the western and middle part of the state were on program. The educational congress movement is no doubt doing a great good for the people. The president of the congress, Prof. J. W. Johnson, who has only recently been elected as president of Roger Williams University, was seen by a Globe representative and stated that he was well pleased with the session just closed. The officers included prominent educators of all denominations and are as follows: J. W. Johnson, President Nashville, Tenn.; A. R. Merry, First Vice President, Jackson, Tenn.; W. R. Jarrett, Second Vice President, Obion, Tenn.; J. R. Gloster, Third Vice President, Brownsville, Tenn.; W. G. Webster, Cor. Sec'v, Covington, Tenn. Miss Dulcenia Pierce Secretary Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. Fannie M. Lawler, Treasurer, Martin, Tenn.; W. H. Fort, Chairman of Steering Com., Dyersburg, Tenn.; J. F. Booker, Chairman Executive Committee, Trenton, Tenn.; G. A. Porter, Chairman Program Com., Jackson, Tenn. The next place of meeting has not as yet been selected but will no doubt remain in the west or on the border of Middle Tennessee. A special banquet for all the delegates was prepared by the citizens of middle Tennessee. A special banquet for all the delegates was prepared by the citizens of Jackson. A more enjoyable fate has not been seen in the city. The entire sessions of the congress were devoted to things of interest and benefit to the race along educational lines. News has reached here that Prof. Chas, A. Dorsey of Brooklyn, who was one of the foremost educators of Nesco youth and well known throughout the country, died in that city last week of pneumonia. HON. J. G. NAPIER WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT. REPRESENTATIVE BODY OF MEN CONSTITUTES ITS MAKE UP— ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH— SUBSCRIPTION FOR STOCK AND CASH PAYMENTS FOR SAME INDICATE EARNEST INTENTIONS—ALL OFFICERS ELECTED MAKE SHORT SPEECHES. If enthusiastic speeches, subscriptions for stock, and payment on stock, count for anything, the Tennessee Colored Fair Association, the permanent organization which was completed at the One Cent Savings Bank last Tuesday night, has an extremely bright future before it. Though this was but the second meeting of the association, a large number of stock-holders were present to participate in the meeting. The personnel of the association is truly a representative one, men being present who represented almost every avocation followed by the Negroes in Nashville. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock, temporary chairman, J. B. Bosley, being in the chair. After the routine business, incidental to opening, a committee, headed by C. N. Langston, reported that a charter had been secured and all the requirements in connection therewith for the completion of the organization had been complied with. Chairman Bosley appointed Rev. G. B. Taylor, Green F. Anderson and J. O. Battle as a committee on permanent organization. The committee reported, recommending the following as officers: President, J. C. Napier; First Vice President, Dr. R. F. Boyd; Second Vice President, Rev. Preston Taylor; Third Vice President, P. F. Hill; Fourth Vice President, Dr. H. T. Noel; Recording Secretary, J. Thomas Turner; Assistant Recording Secretary, T. Clay Moore; Corresponding Secretary and General Manager, J. Frank Battle; Treasurer, C. N. Langston; Attorney, J. W. Grant; Executive Committee, J. B. Bosley, Chairman; Rev. Wm. Haynes, J. B. Kennedy, B. J. Carr, J. S. Martin, W. T. Hightower, Dr. C. V. Roman Dr. P. R. Burrus, J. Blaine Boyd, I. L. Moore, J. A. Davis, Dr. J. A. Lester, G. W. McKissack, S. H. Reeves, S. P. Harris. The committee's report was unanimously adopted and a committee consisting of Dr. R. F. Boyd and A. N. Johnson was appointed to conduct the president to the chair. Mr. Napier made a rousing speech in which he urged that one put forth the greatest effort to make the affair to be held next year a grand and glorious success. He stated that it was his desire that harmony and good fellowship should reign supreme; and that it would be his earnest aim to make the Fair Association a true and fit representative of the Negroes of Tennessee. At the close of Mr. Napier's address, the newly elected officers and Board of Directors were duly installed, each one being called upon to make a speech. The president of the Business and Professional Men's League, Mr. A. N. Johnson, being present as one of the stockholders, was called upon to address the meeting. He stated that the league is making an effort to harmonize the two Fair Associations, which have been organized, with the hope that next year only one fair will be given. The main spirit that seemed to predominate at the meeting was that the stock should be sold as to represent as many portions of the state as possible and to bring in men following as many varied industries and professions as possible. That the various professions and industries of Nashville are very thoroughly represented is shown by the following list of those present: T. Clay Moore, I. L. Moore, S. F. Harris, Isalah Smith, Jr., J. A. Lester, G. W. McKissack, P. F. Hill, J. B. Bosley, J. Frank Battle, R. A. Ewin, J. C. Martin, C. N. Langston, Green F. Anderson, James A. Davies, J. B. Kennedy, Ben F. Carr, C. V. Roman, J. C. Napier, Wm. F. Haynes, W. H. Reeves, J. Thos. Turner, R. L. White, P. W. Adams, W. T. Hightower G. B. Taylor, J. O. Battle, R. F. Boyd H. T. Noel, A. N. Johnson, J. W. Bostick, G. W. Washington, Geo. Gary, S. H. Reeves, J. W. Jennings. The next meeting of the association will be held next Tuesday night. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS. The executive committee of the Business and Professional League of Nashville held its first meeting Tuesday night at the office of Mr. A. N. Johnson, undertaker. The executive committee with one exception was present. A general discussion of plans upon which to begin active work for the ensuing year was entered into, but owing to the lateness of the hour, and the fact that many of the members belong to the new, fair association, the meeting adjourned until Wednesday night. At the Wednesday evening meeting, the executive committee decided unanimously upon the following: First, they recommend the consolidation of the two fair associations now permanently organized in this city, and chartered under the laws of the state of Tennessee. Second, that some steps be taken for the public installation of the officers and the committee of the new league; it being desired to have such a meeting in one of the largest churches in Nashville. Third, that an effort be put forth to have a unified emancipation celebration in the city of Nashville under the auspices of the Business and Professional League; or in case this could not be accomplished, that the League join any movement that would accomplish this purpose. Fourth, that a call meeting of the League be set for some future date prior to the regular monthly meeting in order to collect the first annual dues, and to make out a financial roll of members. Fifth, they endorse the coming meeting to be held at Mount Olive Baptist Church, Sunday at 3 p. m., December 22, at which time Mr. Chas. Stewart, a noted newspaper correspondent, will speak to men only. The date of the call meeting will be announced later, when every business and professional man in Nashville, who desires to take part in this organization, is to be present and enroll his name and pay the first dues. THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROCK CITY ACADEMY OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY The first anniversary of the Rock City Academy, of Medicine and Surgery will be celebrated at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Friday night, December 13. The principal address will be by Dr. J. A. Lester. Short addresses will be made by Drs. Boyd, Roman Bandy and Hale. The music will be in charge of Dr. A. M. Townsend. Refreshments will be served by the Allen Endeavor League of St. Paul. Exercises begin at 7:30 p. m. No.48. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Great Time Being Planned for That Day. NEGROES OF NASHVILLE WILL UNITE IN THE MEETING. LINCOLN POST NO. 4 G. A. R. WILL SUPERVISE ARRANGEMENTS MEETING WILL BE HELD AT MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH DECEMBER 9-YOUNG PEOPLE TAKING UNUSUAL INTEREST IN MEETING. There will be a big celebration in Nashville to commemorate the anniv- sary of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln. This celebration will be held at Mount Olive Baptist Church on the night of January 1, 1908. Arrangements are being made to have a very large meet- ing. In fact, efforts are on foot to have one general celebration, such as Nashville has not enjoyed for many years. Some of the oldest citizens do not remember many occasions when the citizens have wholly observed one general celebration. This movement, if carried out, will help to make the day more generally observed. As to whether a program will be rendered both by day and night has not been decided upon. Of course it is the custom for schools to have their special exercises, but the chapels of the schools are never large enough to accommodate citizens on special occasions. The churches selected for the citizens' program are not sufficiently large to accommodate more than the regular membership. In many cities where the celebrations of emancipa- tions are held large crowds number- ing up into the thousands assemble and listen to speeches by distinguished men of the race. Nashville will no doubt soon join this number. The people of Nashville will look forward to a creditable celebration regardless of where it is held. The members of Lincoln Post No. 4, G. A. R., and the citizens of Nashville are planning for a great celebration on Emancipation Day, January 1, 1908. The celebration will be under the direct supervision of the G. A. R. Post, but the citizens in general are equally interested and will join forces with them to make the celebration a success. Every Negro man, woman and child is concerned about this day. It reaches them all alike in one sense of the word. Many hours have been spent by the listening to the horrible tortures endured by their parents during the days of slavery. How they were driven by cruel owners of human souls in those dark days. It is a portion of history of the Ethiopian race that can never be blotted out. So the young men and women are preparing to celebrate the act that put a stop to those brutalities. To those parents who endured the hardships of those bloody days the emancipation celebration is sacred, and they are anxious that their children be taught to reverence the proclamation that set them free. None are as well prepared to appreciate emancipation as the old soldier. Those men who stood before belching cannon and dared to offer their lives that the generations unborn might enjoy sweet liberty. On Monday night, December 9, the members of Lincoln Post No. 4, and the Woman's Relief Corp will meet at their headquarters to arrange a programme, which will be published next week. The celebration will be held at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, January 1, 1908. This promises to be the greatest celebration in the history of Nashville. SPECIAL SERVICES. At Jackson Temple C. M. E.

BUSY BEE CLUB A final meeting prior to the "Bee Hive" entertainment for the benefit of raising money to purchase curtains for the new Roger Williams University, was held Monday afternoon from 3 to 6 at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Lawrence, 1027 Ament street. There is a continuous growing interest in the club and under a stirring president like Mrs. G. H. Bandy the ladies can but expect success to crown their efforts. They meet with some few adversities—some few hills must be climbed—yet they are never daunting. They are looking for their reward from the public. That reward they hope will come to them, in the appreciation of the public and friends of the school for the strenuous effort they are making towards the re-establishment of Roger Williams University. December is here and before the issue of another copy of the Globe, the "Bee Hive" Entertainment will have passed from the scene and new ideas will be filling the minds of the readers and new thoughts will be crowding for precedence. Hence, let all please bear in mind the "Bee Hive" Entertainment at Spruce Street Baptist Church, December 9, 10 and 11. All preparations necessary for the success of this entertainment have been made and all club can do is to wait the re- club desires all of its members to attend supper at the "Bee Hive" Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. Young, assisted by Mr. Birdsong, of Mount Olive Baptist Church, will serve an excellent supper and Mesdames Young and Fall will have the children of North, West and South Nashville to render a program. The concert Monday night will be THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1907 free. So don't fail to come out and hear the children Tuesday and Wednesday nights will be equally as interesting. The children of East Nashville are working hard to entertain all in a pleasing and creditable manner. The Meharry Band will render several favorite selections. Wednesday night, Mrs. Tart, one of our Nashville girls, who has traveled extensively and won for herself much fame, has kindly consented to give us her support. The Booths will be artistically arranged and the "Novelty Booth" will be filled with choice holiday gifts. The "Doll Booth" will please everybody. Price and beauty will go hand in hand. So don't fail to come out and buy the Xmas dolls from us. The tiny sock (made of purple and white) that we sent to our many friends will be good only for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The club hopes that its friends will multiply the number of sock you wear by 2, and not the number of shoe you wear. The club desires all of its members to meet at Spruce Street Baptist Church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock to arrange the booths. The club will hold its next meeting with Mrs. R. L. Miles, 1106 Twelfth avenue, South. It is hoped all members will be present at the meeting December 16. NEELYSVILLE (MO.)

We hope the sisters and friends may see her during the three days planned here. The Workers' Conference will defer the usual time of meeting and instead will meet Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and meet our Sister Moore. WHAT TO GIVE FOR CHRISTMAS As the holidays approach one naturally begins to think of some appropriate present to give a friend close by or far away. It is not always the most expensive present that is more highly appreciated; in fact, it is never the intrinsic value that is to be remembered or thought of, but the occasion as well as the one who gives the token. Many people of rank and wealth send only Christmas cards which are kept for years and years as gentle reminders of some dear friend. A beautiful and appropriate Christmas present that would be serviceable, ornamental and beneficial, one that would lend much to the happiness on Christmas and revive the record made by one of the race's most prominent authors, would be a book selected from the many productions of this noted poet and author, Paul Laurence Dunbar, needs no introduction to the reading world, yet many of our people have not had a copy of this book upon their shelves, and, since his death, to purchase one of these would be a rare treat and a valuable present. The following is a list of his productions with their prices: When Malindy Sings ..... $1.63 Poems of Cabin and Field ..... 1.50 Lyrics of Love and Laughter ..... 1.07 Folks from Dixie ..... 1.25 Lyrics of Lowly Life ..... 1.25 Lyrics of the Hearthside ..... 1.25 The Strength of Gideon ..... 1.25 The Love of Landry ..... 1.25 In Old Plantation Day ..... 1.50 The Uncalled ..... 1.25 The Fanatics ..... 1.25 Candle Lightin' Time ..... 1.50 The Sport of the Gods ..... 1.50 Joggin' Er Long ..... 1.50 Ll'l Gal ..... 1.50 Call on or write the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee.* RALLY. It is hoped the Baptist women and other friends will not forget the rally to be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in Roger Williams Hall for the benefit of the school. We hope to raise one hundred dollars. Please come and help. Armstrong-Streeter. A wedding which was impressive and beautiful in its solemnity was that of Miss Laura Belle Streeter and Mr. William Armstrong at 3:30 o'clock last Thursday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Shelbyville, Tenn., Rev. Mr. Ross officiating. There was present an assemblage of friends of the bride and groom. The altar was banked in palms and ferns. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Bobbie Hughes. The bridal procession was led by little Miss Pauline Davidson, carrying a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and little Miss Christine McGrew, who carried a silver wafer bearing the license. The bridesmaids were Miss Blanch Morton, of Shelbyville, who wore a beautiful tailor-made suit and picture hat, and Miss Mary Ewing, of Nashville, who wore a handsome tailor-made suit and a black picture hat.

Davidson, with whom she has made her home, entered the church with Mr. Davidson, by whom she was given in marriage. She wore a becoming and lovely brown tailor-made suit and brown picture hat and a champagne net waist with gloves to match. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

Bishop Evans Tyree, the resident Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, will return home Tuesday, December 10, from Texas. Since leaving home the latter part of October he has held six conferences in the Tenth Episcopal District of his church which comprises the states of Oklahoma and Texas. This has been the banner year of Bishop Tyree's administration in that district. In his educational rally he raised nearly $11,000 in the state of Texas alone, which was turned over to the trustees of Paul Quinn College at Waco. This amount was contributed by the Negroes of Texas, not a single contribution amounting to $100. The conferences were organized thoroughly and put to work, and each presiding elder was delegated as a captain or chief of his district. Two rallies were held; one in the spring and one in the fall, and each time over $5,000 raised. This does not include the connection1 money for education which is collected on Easter Sunday of each year. The Texas conferences are making a strong bid for the return of Bishop Tyree by the next General Conference 4 ee eeEt Published Every Friday in the Year, Room Odd Fellogs ‘Hall’ Ne. aay.

AT FORAKER AND BROWNSVILLE. The opening of Congress brings to the forefront the Senate Committee’s on Military Affairs investigation, of the Brownsville affair, White the Committee as yet has not submitted its report, or better, its report—for there will be undoubtedly majority and two minorityr eports—one can easily surmise what will be the conclusions’ of a majority of the committee. Con- cerning the investigation the New York Sun has the following to say: It is believed that the ‘repent hear- ings in the Brownsville matter have practically completed the case as a case. As an issue it may yet display considerable activity, The committee report is not yet submitted and prob- ably is not even prepared, but there is no doubt of the tenor of the coming document. The verdict of the com- mittee was a safe prediction when the case was opened. The proceedings have been a hearing, an investigation, rather than a trial, and it is impossible to claim that all of those who heard were impartial or even open to com- viction. A miracle would hardly have served to convince some of them that the men of that battalion of the Twen- ty-fifth Infantry were guiltless. The evidence of the empty shells which were shown by microscopic examina- tion to have been fired in guns which were not and could not have been used on the night of the shooting carried no weight with those who wished to believe otherwise. What, then, has Senator Foraker ac- complished as a result of the disturb- ance he has created? That question is not one to be answered until a reply is given to another question, namely, what has Senator Foraker sought to accomplish? He has been ¢harged with acting from unworthy motives. Such charges come only from unwor thy minds. He has been charged with desire and effort to embarrass the President. Such assertions are silly He has been accused of “playing poli tics.” It is the complaint of narrow politicians. There is nothing in the entire history of the case to show o1 to indicate, directly or indirectly, that Mr. Foraker has or ever did have an} other desire or purpose than that o' securing justice for a body of mer honestly regarded by him as having suffered from an injustice not intend ed, the result of impulse, but none the less on that acount an injustice. Mr, Foraker has not shown beyon¢ any possible doubt the innocence o these men. Doubtless he hoped to d 80, but that was not his primary pur pose. He took up the case with th assertion that American soldiers ha been dismissed from the army “with out honor” on charges insufficient! grounded and without that trial t which they were entitled by both elvi and military aw. The charges wer murder, misprision of felony and per jury. The hearings have been onl: for the purpose of taking “such fu ther testimony as may be necessar- to establish the facts.” The fact have not been established by the ev: dence and the testimony, If the !nnc cence of the soldiers has not been ur questionably established, neither ha their guilt. The only proper decisio of the committee would be the Scote' verdict of “not proven.” The verdic THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1907. oft-an-impertial-jury onthe evidence submitted might not have been unan- imous for acquittal. It could not have been unanimous for conviction in all cases or in-any individual case. This makes clear the Senator's ac- complishment. He has proved an: in- justice to Amerivan soldiers who are also American citizens. He has chown beyond any reasonable or even. possi- ble doubt that when the’ order of dis- missal, ‘without honor” was issued there was no evidence which would properly justify so drastic a proceed- ing. He is the defender and cham- pion of otherwise defenceless: citizens of. the United States, It is not/probable that the report of the committee will effectively bury the Brownsville case. Such things have a way. of cropping out in later experi- ences. Mr. Foraker did well to es- pouse the cause of these men, and he has done well in going on with it. In theory, at least, this Is a land of law and justice. t JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER. | John Greenleaf Whittier, American author and poet, was born at Haver: hill, Mass. Dec. 7, 1807, in the Soci: ety of Friends. .He worked on a farm and at’ shoemaking in his boyhood, but his desire for learning was so strong that, at the age of 18, he en- tered a local academy, and from then onward his career was upward. is genius was early recognized by Wil- liamy Loyd Garrison, who, as editor of the Free Press, published some of the poet's earliest efforts, and this great apostle of freedom excited and exer- cised a powerful influence upon the character and career of the poet. The two were closely united in the great anti-slavery struggle, and shared alike in its dangers and its triumphs. Whittier was one of the most ardent champions of our freedom, and gifted and versatile he fought for it both with’ verse and prose. In his “Voices of Freedom” are to be found the best specimens of . poetic anti-slavery verse. ‘His sout went out to the oppressed black man who had been betrayed, plundered, profaned and disinheritec, and with his pen he took up his cause and helped carry. it to a successful issue. We are grateful for the service. ren. dered us in that dark day of tribula tion, when it meant: so; much of real sacrifice for that heroic advocate oi our freedom. Every recurring anni versary of the birth of John Green leaf Whittier should be commemor ated by our people throughout the length and breadth of this’ country with fitting and appropriate exercises expressive of our deep and ever-living gratitude for his efforts in the cans of freedom. One hundred years ago December the’ seventh, Whittier wa: born, and on that day of every yea’ we should publicly observe the event None did more than he in educatins the public ‘mind in’ an intelligent though none the less powerful, wa; against the evils and crime of slavery The memory of such men as Whittie we should ever cherish. The recalling of Ambassador Aoki by the Japanese government imme diately following the start of our fleet upon its long crufse to the Pacific waters, raises the question as to what are the intentions of Japan toward the United States on account of the Im- migration and its. kindred subjects, Authoritative statements have been is: sued inthe recent past, by representa- tives of both governments, that there ‘is no likelihood of war, yet these state. ments fail to convince the ordinary cit izen that they were not issued for dip lomatic purposes, ‘With the appearance of Jeff Davis as & representative of Arkansas, the United States Senate will have its burnt cork! aggregation augmented, From now until the final adjournment of the Sixtieth Congress there is like: ly ito be a battle royal between Davis and Tillman.as to which is the premier buffoon. There is one consolation, however, Carmack won't participate in the fray. No matter what One may think of Taft as a presidential candidate, he is entitled to the sympathy of the country, for while attending the du- ties of his position in the Old World, his. aged. mother is at the point of death. Tt is to be hoped that his moth- er will at’ least live long enough for Mr, Taft to return to America, Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, the veteran senior bishop of the -African Methodist Episcopal Church, Is in hot water, according to the press dia- patches, on account of his marriage to a divorcee, Bishop Turner’is a man. of strong’ convictions and hé does not mind fighting to support his opinions. Fighting is his, natural bent. The Nashville Board of Trade must have its vision defected by dark glasses, It can discover more moye- ments to foster social. equality than any commercial organization’ in the country. These white business men need to change their glasses. If there is a man who read Roose- velt’s message to the Sixtieth Con- gress in its entirety, a person whose vocation did not compel him to do so, he is entitled to a Carnegie Hero Medal. The State fair idea seems to be an ‘epidemic. pie se | COMMUNICATIONS. Why Two State Fairs for Colored People? To The Nashville Globe: The undersigned read in the Nash- ville American of Wednesday morn- ing, November 27, an article inform- ing the public that a second organiza- tion had been formed for the purpose of giving a State Fair for the benefit of the colored people. Sometime ago it was announced through the daily press and the columns of the Globe that the Tennessee Negro Industrial, Educational and Agricultural Fair As- sociation had been organized and char- tered with F. G. Smith as president. Everybody knows Prof. F. G. Smith. He: is the efficient “principal of the Pearl High School, and is widely and favorably known throughout the whole state, The men behind the second or- ganization are good men and need no introduction to. the Nashville public. The object of this article is in the in- terest of harmony. Why have two State Fair organizations? To inaugurate and establish an annual State Fair is no small undertaking and to make a success of it, the united strength of all the people is necessary. The col. ored citizens were very much pleased with the first organization and thought that they saw in it an effort on the part of the promoters to arouse Nash- ville from its long slumber and to give the people one grand occasion where they could go and enjoy themselves. The writer does not believe that the colored people need or desire two fairs. He believes a separate second organi zation a mistake. As he sees it, the proper thing to do is for the second body to unite with the first, and with their consolidated strength work for the highest success. As leaders of the people they cannot afford to be placed in the attitude of organizing a rival concern or of striving to impede its progress, or of dividing the forces of the Negro, As a race man, and oné wishing the State Fair a success, | hope that these gentlemen. will get to gether, FAIR PLAY.

DREN. ede) The Election of 1908. To the Nashville Globe: In 1908 there will be waged and fought out between the Democratic and Republican parties the fiercest and most strenuously contested na- tional election that has ever occurred in the history of this country, with the possible exception of that of 1876, when Tilden, Democrat, defeated Hayes, Republican, the former being deprived of his hard won victory by one vote on a partisan division of the commission having the contest in hand. The chieftains of the two great par- ties are beginning to marshal their forces, throwing out their skirmish lines to feel their opponent's position and streneth, nrenaratory to the final struggle for political supremacy in 1908. Both parties have taken to the woods in search of suitable political timber for the oncoming fray, which means so much for the future and des- tiny of this eomtry., Fach is desir. ous of utting 'efore the country the strongest nossitle candidate pon the strongest vaossible platform of princi ples or policies, = i D.

William Jennings Bryan, it seems, is the logical candidate of the Demo- cratic party, though the political woods is being ransacked to find other suitable timber for a candidate in the event of the miscarriage of his candi- dacy. There is scarcely any need of making provision for the last named contingency only. as a grandstand play, as Mr. Bryan has the reins of his party well in hand and is master of the situation, It is not so with the Republican par- ty which is in the throes of bitter con- tention among its leaders, Mr. Roose- velt will not dominate the next Re- ‘publican National Convention as easily as will Mr. Bryan the Demo- cratic. Convention. Mr. Roosevelt's game to perpetuate his policies by dictating the nomination or selection of his successor, will be met with great opposition. The vane on the political steeple indicates this only too plainly for him not to see and know it. He has done some things he should hot have done—things he could have left undone or adjusted by his famous “square” of justice and fair play. He may succeed in landing Mr. Taft as the Republican nominee, but putting him in the White House as his suc- cessor {s altogether another proposi- tion, He has done one thing he should be sorry for; but owing to the fact he has not the courage to recede from a position once taken, he lets a wrong go unrighted, and thereby antagonizes a large following of heretofore staunch and loyal Republicans. Our brethren in those states where every vote counts and means something are go- ing to meet the issue touching our rights as befit men. Pre the ides of November, 1908, shall have passed, there are those who will know that the Negro no longer condones afflict. ed wrongs nor kisses the hand that stabs him. The Republican party has no particular claim on our loyalty to the extent that we should cling to it whether it be right or wrong. We have lived beyond the day when we felt that we were under a debt ol gratitude to it. It has no claim upon us other thar as it serves the highest purpose of government, which is a righteous ad ministration of its laws alike to all its citizens, rich and poor, high and humble, black and white. Whenever a party fails to represent the hist ‘|ideals of true government, it cuts ‘itself adrift from {ts supporters. Fot ‘1a long time we have clung to the Re | publican party because we did no | wish to break with it for two reasons t}one, we thousht it represented thi highest administrative efficiency, and second, we cherished the sentimen -|that under Lincoln's administratioi we were freed.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1907 LECTURE TO MEN ONLY. THANKS Chas. Stewart, the Celebrated Newspaper Corerspondent, to Deliver a Special Address. Arrangements for a special address to be delivered to men only at the Mount Olive Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, December 22, were completed last Friday, when Rev. C. H. Clark, the pastor, agreed that the meeting could be held in his church. Mr. Chas. Stewart, an associated press correspondent, a man of wide experience who travels continually throughout the United States and a man who is possibly known better than any other layman in either of the denominations among the Negroes, will deliver the address on this occasion. Mr. Stewart is a speaker, a writer and a business man. The securing of his services for this occasion was a decided hit for the men of Nashville. His personal acquaintance with conditions and his wide experience with every section of the country fit him for the duties he is to perform. The various organizations of Nashville, benevolent, secret and religious, will be asked to send their male members out on this occasion. The meeting will be held at 3 p. m. Some of the speakers already engaged are Prof. John Burus and Rev. R. H. Boyd. While no lengthy addresses will be delivered by either, they have kindly consented to help out during the day. Male voices in the choir and the organist of Mount Olive Baptist Church will furnish music. Hence the indications are that the meeting will be a success. A special invitation to call churches, regardless of denomination, is extended through the columns of the Globe. It is hoped that the male citizens of Nashville will attend and fill the auditorium which is the most spacious in the ci'v. WHERE IS BEASLEY? Some weeks ago a white rape fiend, an agent for pictures and living in this city, entered the home of Mr. Beasley, who, with his three little motherless girl children, lives near Greenwood Park, and finding no one there but the little girls, pounced upon the eldest child, who is but 12 years of age, and raned her. That devil has not yet been arrested, as the public knows. Because he is white is no earthly reason why he should not be hunted down and made to stand answer to the people for his "nameless crime." He is none the less of a brute because he is white. He has outraged the public, and the outraged public demands that punishment be meted to him for his brutal deed. Where is Beasley, the father of the little girl? Had he been as active as he should have been, long ere now that scoundrel who butchered his little innocent child, would have been behind the prison doors, the object of the contempt and scorn of every law-abiding citizen of this community. There is not a decent white citizen in this city who would have objected to Beasley bringing the villain who desecrated his home to justice. ```markdown ``` NINE O'CLOCK SUPPER NINE O'CLOCK SUpper.

SHOPPING FROM THE MOON. If you could sit in the most comfortable seat in all "Moondom" with a search-light as powerful as the sun which you could direct at will upon each of the worlds great toy stores as they paraded, panorama-like, before you; with a telephone at hand through which to ask prices and place orders; with a glass at your eye which would reveal the "teenist" detail of each toy in each shop, you would, in twenty-four hours, see just about every variety to be found in the Phillips & Buttorff Mfg' Co's great Toyland, 217-223 Third Ave., N., and scarcely anything more Neither would you get a price that would tempt you more than theirs. Remember they buy direct through resident buyers who take whole factory outputs for distribution among six mammoth establishments. The world, both old and new, contribute their best to this vast exposition of the very things the children chose.

Ellington has returned from Normal, Ala., where he went to preach the Thanksgiving sermon before the faculty and students of the A. & M. College. He was delighted with all that he saw and heard. He says that the A. & M. College is one of the best disciplined schools under the tutelage of colored teachers. He was greatly delighted with the enthusiasm and scholarly zeal of the students, and with the culture and refinement of the teachers. The various industries are given their merited place, while the intellectual and religious life of the students are assiduously cultivated. Rev. Ellington is especially loud in his praise of Prof. Council, the honored President of that great school, who has done a magnificent work and is worthy of the confidence and the profound respect which he enjoys. PRESIDENT JOHNSON HERE According to previous plans, Pres. J. W. Johnson of Roger Williams University, has moved from Columbia, Tenn., to this city. Prof. Johnson will have his office and headquarters out at the new school. He has already begun active work, completing many little details necessary for the opening, which has been agreed upon. He was very busy Wednesday, as President Haynes of the State Convention, Rev. A. O. Kinney and others were looking about the grounds and building trying to arrange for the installing of heating apparatus. Steam heat will be used in the present building. Work on this will begin within the next eight or ten days. Prof Johnson is determined to have the opening of the school on the date agreed upon, and to have everything in readiness for that time. CHAS. H. CALLOWAY VISITS NASHVILLE Mr. Chas, H. Calloway, one of the leading members of the Kansas City, Mo., legal fraternity, has been a visitor in the city this week. Mr. Calloway arrived here Friday, being called home on account of the illness of his father, Mr. — Calloway, of Tenth avenue, South Mr. Calloway is an old Nashville boy, having graduating from the city High School, after which he finished the collegiate course at Fisk University, graduating with the class of 1901. From Fisk he went to St. Paul, Minn., where he took a course in law at the University of Minnesota graduating with high honors. Locating in Kansas City, he began the practice of his chosen profession and is now making an enviable reputation on account of his legal ability. He not only stands high among the most learned members of the bar in Kansas City, but is rapidly pushing to the front in all lines in which the welfare of the race is concerned. He has been repeatedly honored by the various secret societies of which he is a member, being at present the Grand Attorney for the U. B. F's, one of the strongest fraternal organizations in that state. Mr. Calloway possesses a host of friends in this city and though the mission upon which he came to Nashville forbade any formal social affairs in his honor, he was entertained informally by several of his intimate friends. His father's condition having improved so much, Mr. Calloway left Thursday for his home. ACCEPTS NEW POSITION. Mr. Fred J.

Purdy, who has charge of the Negro Reform School, which is located on Cedar street, is asking the public for assistance in helping to maintain the institution and help clothe the twenty-eight young boys he has under his supervision. This work is purely a charity and consequently expenses of carrying it on fall mainly on the men who have the institution in charge. Rev. Purdy asks that the public help him in this worthy cause. These twenty-eight boys have been obtained from Police and Criminal Courts and efforts are being made to make good citizens out of them rather than hardened criminals. The expense during the winter months is very heavy and the management will greatly appreciate any assistance that is given. Next spring the boys will be taken to the country on a farm where they will all be able to make their own living. This cause has received much favorable encouragement and many have lent a helping hand. REMBRANDT STUDIO. An important message, not the sixtieth Congressional message, but one that will benefit you. Cheer up. Don't have the blues. It is a cinch that there is more money than ever before. Don't listen to the fairy tales that times are hard and will be worse. There are a whole lot of people who seem to have the idea in their minds that the great American public have gone dead broke and haven't a "Sou Marquis," and they never made a greater mistake. Just because a few speculating bankers in Wall street have played with fire and had their fingers nipped is no reason why the whole country has become suddenly devoid of any purchasing power you must remember that cotton, wheat, grain and lumber will be sold for millions, and while there are few people who will hesitate in building homes or buying automobiles. So there will always be money to buy Xmas presents and the best present is to get one dozen of our best photos, something that will be more appreciated than some useless thing. We have a full line of holiday stock, the latest right hot off the market. All work guaranteed. Our photos stood the test at the Jamestown Exposition receiving one of the highest awards. Don't fail to see our letterette post cards. All photos taken in 4 days of Christ mas will be ready for delivery Xmas day. THE REMBRANDT STUDIO. 447 4th Ave., N.

MINE MANAGER SHOOTS NEGRO Mt. Pleasant, Tenn.—On Wednesday afternoon, December 4, Will and Neely Hockney attempted to drive some miners to work against their will. Reece Johnson, one of the miners referred to attempted to assert his rights as a man, whereupon the two white men drew their revolvers and began pouring into the helpless man a volley of lead. They riddled his body with bullets, and he was dead before they stopped firing. The Hockneys went on as if they had only been shooting at a rabbit. When they finally met a deputy sheriff they told him they had killed an impudent Negro, and he commended their act. The Negroes are leaving the mines in great droves, not feeling safe to remain in that vicinity. The Hockneys bore a bad reputation, having been into several difficulties in the last month or so, and they keep the viennity in constant fear. The deputy sheriff was afraid to make any attempt to arrest them, as he believed they would shoot him down as they had the unfortunate Reece Johnson. DAN HOWSE FOUND GUILTY.
