LAMPTON PRESIDES OVER MEETING. OVER ONE THOUSAND MEN ATTEND THE GRAND LODGE-HON. E. E. PERKINS, SECRETARY AND TREASURER, MAKES GOOD REPORT-PLAN ON FOOT TO ESTABLISH WIDOW AND ORPHAN HOME — $166,580.10 COLLECTED DURING YEAR. Hattiesburg, Miss., Dec. 7.—Perhaps no time in the history of Hattiesburg were there so many representative men in the city as were here during the past week attending the thirty-second annual communication of the Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons for the state, which was presided over by Rev. E. W. Lampton, D.D., of Greenville, Miss., who is also financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal, and one of the most remarkable men of the race. The Grand Lodge brought to the city over a thousand men from all parts of the state, and there was not a word of disorder on the streets. These race advocates attracted much attention and favorable comments from all of the citizens of Hattiesburg. The Grand Lodge opened Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock with addresses of welcome. The addresses and responses were delivered by R. L. Hand, P. S. Golden, C. S. Collard, H. D. Clark, J. L. Collins, Mrs. Susan Price, E. E. Pettibone, Mrs. Emma Pettus, Mrs. E. E. Pettibone and Prof. George L. Olliver. Prof. L. J. Rowan, president of Alcorn A. & M. College, Alcorn, Miss., was introduced, and delivered an address. His mission was to see and hear, and study the progress of his race. He declared that he was greatly inspired at seeing so many able men of the race. "I trust that you will accomplish much for God and the race," he said, "and you will inspire our boys and girls to see the higher things in life. I am giving my life for the preparation of the youth of our race. We have a large number of young people preparing to go out into the world. I will not take up your time with a long speech." Prof. W. I. Mitchell, principal of the high school of Columbus, Miss., responded tot he address. His address along a practical line was attentively listened to by his audience. The visitors at this point who were not members of the fraternity were permitted to withdraw, and a lodge of master masons was opened in due form, and after ascertaining that a constitutional number was present, the Grand Master proceeded to open the Grand Lodge for business. He after the opening ceremonies appointed a committee on credentials. At this point the Grand Master announced the death of R. W., J. L. Riley, the grand junior warden, and the grand lodge was called off for 10 minutes as a token of respect. When the grand lodge assumed business Dr. F. W. Lampton delivered his annual address, which was considered a literary gem. He took up masonry from its origin and traced down to the present time, giving some valuable data on the organization of masonry in this country among the colored people. "Taking on the true spirit of Freemasonry, we must attempt great things for God," said Dr. Lampton, "and not be satisfied with simple duties. If we look through the Bible history, we find God commanding his children to do what seemed impossible—Moses to go down in Egypt, Abraham to leave home, Peter to launch out into the deep." The address was referred to committee on Grand Master's address. A number of committees were announced. The evening was spent in a grand lodge of sorrow, at which time the grand orator, Prof. W. W. Phillips, delivered a memorial address. Following this some business was tranacted after calling off for ten minutes. NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1907. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing slightly to the right]. In the second day's session the grand lodge got down to business, and after some time the following officers were elected: M. W., E. W. Lampton, D. D., grand master; W. A. J. Morgan, of Shelby, deputy grand master; B. F. Lacy, of Shiloh, grand senior warden; W. W. Phillips, Kosciusko, grand junior warden; G. S. Goodman, of Holly Springs, grand secretary; T. J. Wilson, of Meridian, grand treasurer; E. E. Perkins, of Edwards, secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Benefit Association. The feature of the session was the report of Hon. E. E. Perkins, of Edwards, Secretary and Treasurer of the Masonic Benefit Association. In his introductory remarks he said he had guarded with a vigilant eye the interests of the widows and orphans, and it was indied gratifying to see how the Negroes were putting forth an effort to provide for their widows and orphans, and through the Order of the Eastern Star, orphans and husbands were provided for, and in the case of the death of the mother and father belonging to the Fraternity the orphans received $1,200, which was a good start. He reported that the Grand Lodge had purchased 1,000 acres of land in the Delta, which was now worth $40,000. The receipts for the department during the past twelve months had been $166,380.10, and had paid to widows and orphans $117,460.27, and there was a balance on hand of $48,919.83. Resolutions thanking the Secretary were passed. In addition to holding the position, Mr. Perkins is postmaster at Edwards and has held the position for a number of years. He is one of the most prominent Negroes in the State. GARY'S GRAND GROCERY TO THE FRONT. The Negro business men of Nashville are awakening to the needs of the people. The latest to come forward with a relief to those who often find themselves in the city and in want of a nourishment is the Gary's Grand Grocery. Realizing the fact that the appetites of people vary as other things, they have opened in connection with their large grocery business a lunch parlor, where one can be served to light lunches and soups at any hour. They do not claim to be running a restaurant, but they do claim to be able to satisfy that demand for choice lunches that has been so long felt among our people in Nashville. Mrs. Gary is conceded to be authority in the preparation of consomme, and the contention is attested to by a Globe representative who recently stopped in at Gary's Grand Grocery and was served to one of their lunches. Gary's Grand Grocery is the pride of the Negroes of Nashville. They keep everything that is best, and always supply their customers with fresh goods. Mr. Gary believes in meeting the needs of the people in every way. MISSIONARY WORK DISCUSSED AT LENGTH. ONE INMATE CARED FOR AT THE DAY HOME-PLANNING TO GIVE FOOD SHOWER, CHRISTMAS, TO THE CHILDREN IN THAT INSTITUTION - PROMINENT LADIES GUESTS OF HONOR. The Fleur de Lis Art Club was most beautifully entertained at the residence of its President, Mrs. Sutton E. Griggs, on December 5. But for three absentees only the club roll was perfect. The invited guests included Mesdames William Flagg, Frank G. Smith, G. H. Bandy and Miss Belma Mahan. The program for the afternoon was indeed enjoyable. Mrs. D. A. Hart rendered a solo in a very pleasing manner; her sweet voice always brings cheer, and she delights her hearers with the excellency of her selections. Mrs. Price gave an interesting paper on the "Latest Books and Their Authors." The manner in which she handled her subject showed that she spends a part of her valuable time in reading good books and weighing their thoughts. The Journalist, as is her custom, read several very interesting items, but owing to the lateness of the hour they were not discussed, although highly enjoyed. Mrs. Townsend expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the club for their interest in the "Day Home," and at the close of the meeting was made to feel that she has still the hearty cooperation of this club and many friends outside the club. The club not only paid $1.25 for the child for whom they are caring, but one of the invited guests contributed 25 cents; also a promise of clothes from Mesdames Harris, Work and A. N. Johnson was made. Mrs. Bostic spoke along the line of making our child at "Home" a Christmas present, which was broadened to a "Food Shower" for the Home, which will be enjoyed by more than one child. The visiting ladies all asked permission to contribute with the club on the day of the "Food Shower," which will take place at the next meeting on December 19. The club will appreciate donations from any person. Friends desiring to take part in this shower will please send their contributions, money or food, to the following ladies, and they will carry them in to the Club: Mrs. S. E. Griggs, 610 Webster street. Mrs. A. M. Townsend, 614 Webster street. Mrs. H. A. Cameron, 1025 Eighteenth avenue, North. Mrs. S. P. Harris, 1730 Jefferson. Mrs. D. A. Hart, 1726 Jefferson. Mrs. J. B. Singleton, 1116 Jefferson. Mrs. C. O. Hadley, 1506 Phillips. Mrs. R. P. Moore, 1605 State street. Mrs. J. W. Bostic, 805 Seventeenth avenue. Mrs. J. W. Work, 1607 Harding. Mrs. W. B. Vassar, 1130 Jefferson. Mrs. W. R. Baker, 1504 Fourteenth avenue Mrs. Arthur Price, 1732 Jefferson. Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Undertaking Establishment, Cedar street. Mrs. — Lewis, 1305 Demonbreun street. After these discussions, etc., the hostess cordially welcomed the ladies into the dining-room. Here an elaborate four-course collation was enjoyed. The color scheme of the dining-room was red and green, which was quite in order for holiday colors and the season of the year. Most truly the leaves have taken off their solid green dresses or trimmed them with red. A very striking picture was the table spread with a pretty hemstitched cloth with red and green candles and shades. The tall vase of dark red roses amid the ferns, upon a centerpiece which was the handiwork of the hostess, was charming. Each of the visiting ladies made nice talks, as did Rev. S. E. Griggs, who came in in time to partake of the hospitality of the hostess. It was decided that the F. D. L.'s would not join the Confederation of Ladies' Clubs, since their number of members is so limited. The Journalist announced the following program for the next meeting, which will be with Mrs. C. O. Hadley, 1506 Phillips street, December 19, 1907, from 3 to 5 p. m. Solo ..... Mrs. Ross Moore How to Spend Christmas—Discus- sion ..... By Club Instrumental Solo ..... Mrs. Hadley The club then adjourned, carrying with them Souvenir Cards tied with baby ribbons—red and green, and inscribed with quotations on "Women" to be recited by each member at the next meeting. CANTATA AT FISK DURING THE HOLIDAYS. There is now in process of preparation a cantata of Negro Folk songs, which is to be rendered during the Xmas holidays, at Fisk University. Prof. J. W. Work has been planning the material for five or six years and has at last found an interesting story of Negro slave life, and also folk songs that tell this story. The different parts of the story were gathered from those who were slaves and could tell them authoritatively, among whom is Mrs. George W. Moore, who was known among the original Fisk Jubilee singers as "Ella Sheppard." The cantata includes the old favorites, "Steal Away to Jesus," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Bright Sparkles in the Church Yard," and the like. The origin of some of these songs, which alone would make an interesting story, is also dealt with. A very interesting feature is the arrangement, also the harmony of the songs wrought out by Mr. F. J. Work, who is co-laboring with his brother. He has spent about a year in working out this part, and has accomplished some pleasing as well as some striking effects. Mr. Work has recently studied harmony with Clough Leighter, in Boston. Among the songs is one original chorus, composed on the principles of the Folk songs, by Mr. F. J. Work. Another interesting feature is that Mrs. Preston Taylor, known among the original Jubilee Singers, as "Georgia Gorden," is to assist in the rendition of this work. Among the others who are to take part is the company who represented Fisk at the Jamestown Exposition, securing a gold medal, and singing in the East Room at the White House for the President and his guests. Mrs. Mabel Hadley who traveled with the last company of Jubilee Singers, who toured the country in the interest of Fisk, and Mrs. Louisa Cameron, for a long time connected with the music of Fisk. The Cantata consists of solos, duets, choruses and obligatos with chorus accompaniments. Mr. Fred J. Work will be at the piano. The National Baptist Publishing Board has on exhibition at the Globe office some of its diamond-shaped garlands and festooning, Christmas and New Year bells. If you cannot call at the Publishing House, pass by the Globe office.* No. 49. BORN IN VIRGINIA, 1803-BROUGHT TO TENNESSEE WHEN FOURTEEN YEARS OLD-SPENT NINE TY YEARS IN VICINITY OF DICKSON-REMARKABLE MAN IN MANY RESPECTS-A POET BORN, NOT MADE-WROTE BY INSPIRATION. "Uncle" Peter Dent, as he was familiarly known, died recently at Dickson, Tenn., at the advanced age of 104 years. He was born in Virginia in 1803, but was brought to Tennessee by his master when 14 years of age. He remained practically in the same locality, in and around Dickson, for 90 years. He was a poet by nature. The Muse of poetry dealt kindly with this untutored child of song, as is evidence by the beautiful lays he sang along the way and through the years of his long earthly pilgrimage. His verse possesses a depth of thought and construction that are truly remarkable for an uneducated mind. There is that rhythm to his song that arouses the deepest emotions; there is that musical harmony that sings itself into the soul and steals one's sympathies for the singer ere one is aware; there is that pathos that softens the heart and fills it with that fellow-feeling which makes the whole world akin. Someone has said that poets are born, not made; if this is true, then "Uncle" Peter was a poet born, and sang only as the Muse gave him inspiration or the lyre of his soul was touched to music by unseen fingers of angel hands. "Uncle" Peter Dent was a remarkable old man, a diamond in the rough, whose soul ever and anon would burst forth into melody as sweetly sad and plaintive as is found in the following pathetic lines: "Oh, mortal one, do pity me, I'm old and weak and poor; My days on earth are drawing nigh When I shall beg no more. "God sends me in this humble way-- I know not why 'tis so. I only know that where He wills My weary feet must go. "I know that Jesus led the way To Calvary's thorny crown; I know that I must follow these Though sorrow weighs me down. "Perhaps God gives the wretched here That he the faith may prove Of favored ones who seek His love And 'round His altars move. "So give, I pray, what you can spare-- I'm old and weak and poor; My days are drawing to a close When I shall ask no more." Like the swan that sings its sweetest song ere it dies, so did "Uncle" Peter sing the above lay, one of his last and sweetest, to his latest breath, then passed to silence and pathetic dust. These few lines are but a feeble tribute to the memory of the humble singer whose body lies in its windowless palace of rest, while his disembodied soul, let us hope, is singing new poems of joy in the Elysian Realm of the bright Beyond. MR. SULLIVAN. OF ALABAMA. Mr. T. L'O. Sullivan, a representative young merchant of Selma, Ala., and son of Mr. H. B. Sullivan, the pioneer undertaker of the race in that state, paid Hon. A. N. Johnson a business call Monday, particularly inspecting the line of carriages and funeral cars with a view to making additions to their business. While here he placed through Mr. Johnson an order in the Cunningham Company for a fine landau. He paid a short visit to his cousin, Dr. Earl Harris, at Meharry, and the Misses Curtis, at Fisk. Mr. Ed. Ewing continues ill on Chicken pike. B MURFREESBORO NOTES. The wife of Dr. Stephens, of Chattanooga, is in the city for the holidays visiting her mother, Mrs. Perry Butler. Messrs. James Reed and Irving Wade were the guests of Misses Texanna, Mary and Creasie Eules last Sunday. Little Nixon Butler Berry celebrated his tenth birthday with a party on December 2. There were 37 little folks to enjoy his hospitality. They had a jolly time hunting peanuts on the lawn, after which they were ushered to the dining-room and served to bananas, candies, gelatine and cake. Mr. Thos. Linston, one of Murfreesboro's old citizens, was buried here on Thanksgiving. The funeral was attended by Rev. B. F. Anderson at the residence of Mrs. Sarah Ledbetter. Mr. Linston had lived in Nashville for a long while. No one knew him but to love him. Among the beautiful floral designs was a pillar given by the N. C. & St. L. R. R. Co. Mesdames W. R. Smith, J. B. Sublett and Miss Johnnie O'Neal are improving rapidly. Miss Alberta Thompson, of Nashville, was in the city last Wednesday attending the funeral of Mr. David Keeble. Mr. Will Cox, of the Philippine Islands, brother of Mr. Walter Cox, is in the city. Miss Ella C. Darden entertained the Ladies Embroidery Club last Saturday evening. After business was transacted, a two-course menu was served. Those present were Mesdames K. L. Page, J. B. McCllan, A. L. Nelson, Wm. Bibb, George Ransom, Horace Mitchell, Mamie Vaughn, A. D. Wade, Misses Matilda Green, Cordella Butler and Elma A. Williams. Presiding Elder Jackson preached at Allen's Chapel last Sunday. --- COLUMBIA NOTES. Bethel A. M. E. Church and Mount Lebanon Baptist Church will give a joint entertainment during the holidays in Odd Fellows Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Green entertained last Friday night at their home on South Glade street, their guests being the young married friends of the host and hostess. Dr. J. Q. Johnson preached at St. Paul Sunday night, December 8, to a large congregation. Dr. Lowe, of Mt. Pleasant, has gone to California for his health. Miss Golden Perry spent Thanksgiving in Nashville, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Johnson. Rev. J. S. Gilmore has returned home from a pleasant and profitable trip to different points in Kentucky. Mrs. J. Q. Johnson, of Mt. Pleasant, attended services at St. Paul Church Sunday. SHELBYVILLE NOTES The county schools will all soon be closed, and the teachers will all be at home for a few weeks. A number of the teachers have registered as students of Turner Normal College to enter when their schools close President Jones, of Turner College, states that the new building is almost filled up with young ladies, and that he is preparing to build an annex to accommodate the usual after-Christmas influx of students. The Sewing Department is in full operation. The young ladies have donned their beautiful new uniforms, made in the Sewing Department. Their college hats of pearl gray and blue skirts, make a beautiful appearance. The Fall term will close Dec. 20th. The Winter term will open Dec. 30th. Work is being projected for the enlargement of the boys' dormitory; and work on the new laundry has commenced. The Turner Literary Society held its first public exercises last Friday night. A large audience was present. At the conclusion of the exercises, refreshments were served in the dining hall, and the monthly social was held. The appointment at the A. M. E. Church seems to have been disappointing and unsatisfactory to both people and minister. The people were anxious that Rev. Gordon should return, and were expecting nothing else. Rev D. E. Johnson, the new pastor, considered the appointment below his rank, and he got busy to get away from it. He did escape, and is now in Arkansas. A minister from Arkansas has been appointed in his stead. The New Scott's Chapel M. E. Church is steadily going up, under the management of Rev. R. B. Ross. It will be a beautiful brick structure of modern architecture. Electric lights have been lately installed in the new college building of Turner Institute. The students are happy again. The Star Quartette, a local organization, gave a very pleasing entertainment last Thursday night at Scott's Chapel. They have engagements out of the city during the holidays. Any THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1907 church will do well to engage them Mr. T. T. Ransom is manager. EARLINGTON, KY., NOTES. The protracted meeting which was carried on by the First Baptist Church, has closed. The trustees and building committee of the new Earlington Public School pulled off a grand rally Sunday, December 8, at the Methodist Church. A good crowd was present and Rev. J. S. Gilmore, of Columbia, Tenn., was the speaker of the occasion. A good collection amounting to $46.15 was raised. Many subscriptions remain unpaid. It is to be remembered that the public school of Earlington is to be owned and maintained exclusively by Negroes. Prof. Jas. Bell is principal. Rev. J. S. Gilmore and his son, Lucius, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Edmonson. WILLING WORKERS' CLUB. The Willing Workers' Club of Kayne Avenue Baptist Church met recently at the residence of Mrs. Rosa Moore, Thirteenth avenue, South. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Amos, Mr. and Mrs. M. Smith, Mesdames J. W. DeWees, J. K. Campbell, Ida Gentry, Rachel Thornton, Janie Brown, Lena Johnson, Colletta Turnhow, Rosa Moore and Miss A. L. Morton, Messrs. J. L. Voorhies, A. L. Anderson and Rev. J. C. Lott. After the regular routine of business a paper was read by Mr. J. L. G. Voorhies, the subject of which was "Honor." It was very instructive. Ices and fruit were served. The club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. DeWees, Thirteenth avenue, South, on Monday night, December 16. EBENEZER NOTES Our pastor, Rev. N. Smith, preached to us an interesting sermon Sunday morning; his text was based upon the weakness of Samson. Sister MaNeese preached at 7 o'clock to a large audience, and before she brought her sermon to a close, there wasn't a dry eye in the congregation. There will be a grand entertainment given on Christmas night. Mr. Oscar Presley and his little niece spent Sunday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walker. Messrs. C. S. Carr, I. Wright and G. Johnson, of Meharr, spent last Tuesday evening with Mr. H. H. Walker. Mr. Wm. Walker met with a very painful accident a few days ago while trimming the hoof of a horse, his knife slipped and cut a very ugly dash in his hand. Mr. Walker could not use his hand for a whille; but is much better now. KEEP ON THE TRACK. Three small boys in Nashville were recently playing street car; the vehicle was a soap box with rope through holes in the front end to form the traces for the harnessed animal, who chanced to be, as usual, the smallest one of the three. This reasonably correct imitation of a mule was kicking because the two passengers in the car, formed such a load for him to haul. One of them demonstrated, logically, "Of course it is hard to pull because you won't stay on the track." A close inspection revealed the fact that the track was a pair of parallel lines drawn on the ground. A more distinct track than this is habit. Things run easier when you push them habitually. That's why there is so much more satisfaction in buying toys, Christmas presents, anniversary goods and such things at Phillips & Buttorff Mfg. Co., 217-223 Third avenue, North. The greater part of Nashville has acquired this habit, and get better service for it. On the other hand this Company is in the habit of buying bigger quantities than any others, get better price, make more sales, hence, it costs less to sell each dollar's worth. An appropriate present to a flat-dweller lady friend is a set of P. & B. Sad Irons, only 90c. Have you tried them? CONCERTS BY THE LITTLE FOLKS OF THE DAY HOME. Next Monday night, December 16, at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, pastor, the little folks of the Day Home, under the management of Mrs. A. J. Williams, will give a very interesting concert. This will be the first effort of its kind. The children ought to be encouraged by every one. The object of the entertainment is to pay for the beds on which the children are now sleeping and for the large range on which their meals are cooked. The Rev. Mr. Griggs, who has done much to promote the cause of the Day Home both by personal influence and material aid, gives the use of his church for this occasion. Refreshments will be served and a charge of only 10 cents for admission will be made. COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER. ```markdown ``` NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD. 523 SECOND AVENUE, NORTH. A. N. Johnson, the progressive funeral director. This car was manufactured especially for Mr. Johnson by the Cunningham Company, who for fifty years have been the largest hearse and carriage builders in the world, and this is the first time in history when any colored man has had the honor and distinction of having a job advertised by any of the manufacturers of hearses and carriages; and when the leading house puts forth this masterpiece, spending several hundred dollars for the place on the best portion of a trade journal, it shows that Mr. Johnson deserves the support of the people who want the highest class of service, especially the particular people who desire excellency with competency. There is not the equal of this funeral car in this Southern country, nor is it surpassed by any in the entire United States. REV. J. C. LOTT INSTALLED. The special services at the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon were enjoyable and largely attended. The principal features of the meeting was the installing of Rev. J. C. Lott as pastor. A nice program had been arranged for the occasion and Rev. E. M. Lawrence, the Superintendent of Missions and ex-pastor of the church, was selected as master of ceremonies. The singing was one of the special features of the program. Addresses and remarks were made by the following ministers: Revs. James Slaughter, G. K. Wilson, W. L. Craft, W. L. Smith, Willis Lee, T. J. Townsend and W. S. Ellington. The address of welcome on behalf of the Ministers' Conference extended to Rev. J. C. Lott on becoming one of the city pastors, was delivered by Rev. C. H. Clark, while the installation sermon was preached by Rev. S. E. Griggs. The Charge to the Church was delivered by Rev. E. W. D. Isaac. The financial returns from the meeting were very good, and Rev. Lott begins his active pastorate work under favorable circumstances. CALLENDER STATION NOTES. Rev. Geo. Thomas preached Sunday night at West Callender Missionary Baptist Church. Collection, $3.50. The people of Callender are blessed with good health, no one in the community being sick. There was a feeling of wonder Sunday night; a bright star was in the sky notwithstanding the clouds and rain. The weather has been very favorable for hog-killing this week. Rev. A. Bedford preached a spiritual sermon last Sunday at Ebenezer Chapel. Mr. S. B. Howse and Miss Florence Bruce were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Howse. A delightful social was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith Wednesday night. Music and dancing were the features of the evening. A delicious three-course menu was served. There was a large number present to enjoy the occasion. The home of Mr. Ed. Howard came near being destroyed by fire. The flames were extinguished before any great damage was done. 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. 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 CHURCH SUPPLY DEPARTMENT OF THE THE COMING EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Lincoln Post, the Baptist Ministers Conference, with the Business The article which appeared in the Nashville Globe last week concerning the emancipation celebration, expressing the hope that a united celebration of the people of Nashville be held at some place sufficiently large to hold the people, has been received with no little consideration. Lincoln Post, No. 6, Grand Army Republic, one of the oldest and most respected organizations in the city, acquiesces in the movement, and will join the Baptist Ministers' Conference and the Business and Professional League. Representatives from these three organization have already been in conference on the matter. Rev. Preston Taylor represented Lincoln Post, G. A. R.; Rev. C. H. Clark represented the Baptist Ministers' Conference, while Henry A. Boyd represented the Business and Professional League. The A. M. E. Preachers' Alliance, an organization which meets on Tuesday of each week, will be urged to co-operate, and if the secret organizations, such as Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons, benevolent orders, etc., could be induced to take an active part. Nashville would have the largest celebration in its history—one in which all the people could unite and celebrate their natal day. It is expected that some time in the early part of next week all arrangements will be perfected and that in the columns of the Globe in its next issue, the program outlined for the celebration, will appear. At any rate, the indications are that the celebration for 1908 will be a tremendous success. The people are practically united and of one opinion when it comes to having a general celebration. This, coupled with the encouragement already given by the various organizations, means much to the movement. The results are already encouraging. MARRIAGES. E. Z. Jenkins and Malissa Raymond.

The Grim Reaper has come in our midst and borne from our ranks our beloved pupil and classmate, Harvey Haigler, who was a member of St. John's A. M. E. Church and Sunday School, and belonged to Class No. 11. As a pupil he was bright, thoughtful, steady and obedient. At all times he was attentive to his lessons and almost heartbroken when he could not answer the questions asked him by his teacher. Harvey was always found in his seat at the opening of Sunday school and never absent, save when sickness or something unavoidable prevented, which was seldom. He expressed to his aunt a desire to attend Sunday school his last Sunday on earth. As a classmate, young Haigler was gentle, kind and generous, ever willing to render assistance wherever it was needed, and deeds of kindness to all. In his death the Sunday school has lost a true and punctual scholar—the class a kind and gentle classmate, the teacher a gentle, loving and obedient pupil—"Gone but not forgotten, but our loss is heaven's gain." And, Whereas, God in his all-wise providence has taken from our midst our beloved pupil and classmate; be it Resolved, That we submit to the will of Him who has transplanted our lamented companion to the Sunday school above, with other bright stars, to await our coming; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this memorial be sent to the bereaved family. Respectfully submitted—J. H. Love, Ewin Laird, Robt. Holland, Theodore Williams, Solomon Billips, Thos. Dickerson, John Smith, Classmates; Miss Lena A. Hughes, Teacher; Mr. D. A. Hart, Superintendent; Rev. B. G. Gordon, Pastor. NOTICE.

Discharging of Negro Troops Shows Mistake from Some Source Washington, Dec. 10.—If the bullets were not fired from the rifles of the Negro soldiers in the Brownsville riot, the President is guilty of a gross injustice to the disbanded troops. If the bullets were fired from the rifles of Negro troops in the night outrage, then the war department has accepted ordnance that falls short of specifications and is of inferior grade. These are the horns of the dilemma upon which the administration finds itself impaled, as a result of the chemical analysis of two of the bullets fired on the night of the now famous Brownsville riot. The analysis was reported to the senate committee on military affairs in a meeting to-day. The committee had seven bullets dug from buildings and posts. Those bullets were fired from rifles the night of the Brownsville shooting. An analysis has shown that they do not conform to the specifications and regulations of bullets furnished the army. Senator Foraker, who has led the fight against the President's program in the Brownsville case, is elated. The members of the senate military committee who were inclined to support the President's policy are now gravely in doubt as to the justice of his stand, and a complete reversal of form may come from the committee. While the investigation, so far as it has proceeded, tends to controvert the assertion made by the President's advisors, and to place him in the light of having committed crash and unjust action, at the same time all concerned say it is just as well to wait until a report is made on the other five bullets. Senator Foraker, who championed the cause of the Negro troops, had little to say during the committee's meeting. He merely chuckled to himself and allowed the administration's representatives on the committee to do the studying and talking. DEATHS. Louise Polk, City Hospital, 33 years.

The denizens along Jo Johnston avenue, between Third and Fourth avenues, were treated to quite a deal of excitement about noon Monday. Thre was an attempted fight between a woman and man, which was nipped in the bud by a cop coming on the scene before the "mill" materialized into the genuine article. With the man in tow for the police station the officer had scarcely rounded the corner on Third avenue before two pugnacious little Misses went at each other hammer and tongs fashion and the curious crowd went wild. By the time the set-to was at its height every hovel and tenement in that soft and easy-going district had emplied their inmates into the street, and the hilarity of the crowd was something immense. DEATH OF J. N. LEWIS. Mr. J. N. Lewis died at his home on Donelson street December 1, 1907. The funeral took place at Mt. Gilead Baptist Church on Tuesday, the 3rd. He was a member of the church and had been superintendent of the Sunday school for 14 years. He was also teacher of Class No. 3. THE GLOBE MANAGER LOSES HIS CHRISTMAS TURKEY. Mr. D. A. Hart, manager of the Nashville Globe, had a great misfortune last week. Early in November he ordered some turkeys from Adams Station for his family use during the holidays. He had picked out one fine specimen and was fattening it for Christmas. One night last week the neighbors' dogs kept up a constant barking but no particular attention was paid to the noise. But next morning when Mr. Hart went to feed his choice turkey he was made to understand it all. His Christmas bird was gone, and all he could find was a feather here and there up the alley. The fowl has never returned and it is supposed that some member of the human society decided that it was cruel to keep a turkey in the yard and feed it regularly. BISHOP TYREE ARRIVED HOME TUESDAY NIGHT. Bishop Evans Tyree, who has been out of the city several weeks holding conferences in Oklahoma and Texas, returned home Tuesday night. He came direct from Waxahatchie, Texas, which was the seat of his last Conference. Mrs. Tyree accompanied him on the trip. They were both looking well when they alighted from the train at the Union Station. The Bishop said he had a very successful year considering the condition of the country financially at this time. NASHVILLE MAN A DIRECTOR. The above directors, except Mr Bovd, served during the year 1907. boyd, served during the year 1901. The Company has some valuable property in the state and in the city of Jacksonville and has depositories with the City Savings Bank at Tampa, State Bank of Arcadia, Fla.; Bank of Crystal River, Crystal River, Fla.; Gainesville National Bank, Gainesville, Fla.; Bank of Dunnellon, Dunnellon, Fla. The Capital Trust and Investment Company of Jacksonville is the headquarters for the depositors. The home office and the new building of the Company is a five-story brick. A very creditable showing has been made since its organization. The placing of a Nashville man on the board of directors is a distinct recognition for this city and the state. DOES NOT OWN "THE NEW YORK AGE." The story has been circulating freely that Dr. B. T. Washington is part owner of the New York Age. Both that paper and Dr. Washington make strenuous denial of the truth of the statement. Some such statement may have appeared in these columns some weeks ago based on information which at that time seemed to justify the statement. Our attention has recently been called to the following copy of a letter from Mr. Fortune to Mr. Scott, which shows that Mr. Fred R. Moore, and not Dr. Washington, is owner of the New York Age. Recognizing the shattered condition of my health and the imperative urgency of taking a long rest, on the 4th. instant, I transferred my interest in the New York Age Publishing Company to Fred R. Moore. A meeting of stockholders was called for yesterday afternoon to elect new officers and define a new policy. (Signed) Timothy Thomas Fortune. To Mr. Emmet J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala. STILL LOOKING FOR RELATIVES. Several weeks ago, a notice appeared in the Globe, in which Mr. King Bird, who lives at New Castle, was seeking for some information concerning lost relatives.

STOCKHOLDERS' ANNUAL MEETING. The stockholders of the One Cent Savings Bank will be notified within the next few days of the coming stockholders meeting, which is to be held on the second Monday in January, 1908, in the director's room of the bank A full attendance is expected. A deal of interest is created in these annual meetings because of the steady growth of the institution. The teller states that many of the notices sent out to stock-holders have not been delivered heretofore, and that a general call will be issued through the columns of the Globe about ten days prior to the meeting. BISHOP LEE AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio, will speak at St. John A. M. E. Church on Friday night. Rev. B. G. Gordon announced Sunday and Tuesday night that the Bishop had a special message for the congregation and urged that every one present inform their friends and the members not present to come out to night. Rev. Gordon is gaining favor with the people of St. John as was shown by the way they responded to an appeal for funds recently. They held a very successful rally Sunday, Dec. 8, and raised more money than had been by that congregation on one day for several years. 4 The Nashville Globe SHVIHE OlODE.

We are great believers in the efficacy of spanking. When properly applicd by the proper person, spanking exer- cises a corrective force upon youths inclined to stray from the paths of ree- titude; but when promiscuously used by anyone who shonld happen to be incensed at the bubbling spirits of the immature, it often has the effects of engendering hatreds that are co-eval with the life of the individual who re- ceives the punishment. This method of compelling obedience and helping the young to differentiate between what eustom has decreed as right and wrong, is not a lost art with the motherg and fathers of Nashville. We glory in the fact that the youth of to- day—the perverse “kids” that make a majority of those who have arrived at what is supposed to be the years of discretion long for the days ‘when we were boys,” forgetting that we, too, had our faults, imperfections as great tn the parental sight of those days as the shortcomings of the hoys of to- day are In ours—-receive in the same manner the punishment meted to the “kids” of yesterday. And this visita- tion of parental displeasure by the method of spanking is no new thing. Hts inception dates to the remotest an- tiquity and its appliance has been ap- proved by a man kuown to realere of the Bible whose reprtation for wisdom surpasses that of any that America has produced, This dissertation on spanking is called forth by an article in our contemporary which good-humoredly takes The Globe to task for publishing an account of the beating of a boy by one of the white professors al Fisk. Our confrere, usually apt at illustra- ting his arguments, uses the fable of the lion and the jackass to drive home his argument. We confess the ¢oft ‘m- peachment of the lion in the fable, for we did groan, aye we cven roared, but what we would like to know is: Who in the thunder is the jackass? Surely our friend would not dare compare an aristocratic professor with a plebian animal? But to be serions, The Globe wishes to state that while it believes in spank. ing, and a liberal use of the came, it oes not recognize the right of any one be he white or black, grizzled or gray, to take npon himself the author ity to punish the children of other peo ple unless he has specific instructions to do the same. And with this state ment we hope the incident will be cloged, for we have accomplished what was our aim in publishing the article We have served notice that men wh« deal with children must not let their ungovernable tempers lead them int indiscrect actions. If this notice hag ern served on a previous occasion i would not have heen necessary fo us to refer to it now, nor publish the of the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY. DECPMBER 12. 1907. article that excites the risibles of our contemporary, We wish, just here, to make it thor- oughly plain to some of the over zeal- ous supporters of Fisk whose love for the school seems to have warped their better judgment, that we are making no fight on the institution, nor are we fighting the professor other than te cali his attention to things that are ex- pected of him as a mau. We love Fisk and we love what it stands for, and likewise we appreciate the philan- thropic work being done by the pro- fessor in question. It is because of this love that we call attention to faulis that if rot corrected will at no distant day impair the usefulness of the University. 4 One batch of experts of the United States Army, after investigating the clips found in the streets of Browns- ville after the alleged raid, found that the shells had been fired from guns some of which, at the time of the raid, were packed in boxes and had not been used while the battalion was in that now famous town. Now ayothor batch of experts find that the bullets were not the regulation bullets in that they contained antimony, whereas that met- al is not found in the bullets used hy the Army, The more the Brownsville affair is investigated the deeper mys- tory it becomes, yet there seems to be litle doubt what the verdict of the Committee on Military Affairs will be. The raid of the night riders at Hop- kinsville is a result of the unbridled lawlessness that has been permitted to go unpunished in the dark tobacco regions and is a disgrace to Kentucky. Every effort should he put forward by the newly inangnrated officers of the state to bring the guilty persons to justice. The planters have a right to form associations for the protec- tion of their interests, but when to ob- tain their ends they resort to lawless- ness, they should be treated as any other criminal. A criminal organiza- tion of planters should be held in the same light before the law as is a crim- inal trust. Richard W. Thompson, the general hews correspondent, is authority for the statement thet Timothy Thomas Fortune has purchased “The Voice,” which has heen ron by J. Max Barber as a monthly magazine at Chisago, and henceforth the venerable ey-editor of The New York Age will issue the publication as a weekly. If the state- ment is true and Fortune assumed the debts of The Voice, he must have re- ceived a bonus to take over the maga- zine, We are pleased to welcome among our new exchanges for the weck the initial number of the Madisonville (Ky) News. Phil Fl. Brown, than whom there is no betler prepared journalist in the state of Kentucky, is the editor and publisher. The Globe welcomes The News and extends to Hdilor Brown its hest wishes for the success of his new venture. The Gridiron Club at its annnal din- ver this year failed to have as its guests the Hon. Joseph Benson Far- aker and his excellency, Theodore Koosevett, The encounter between these two famous men last year proved a greater attraction than the skits pro- vided by the Club for the amusement of its guests. Evidently the Gridirons don't like to play second fiddle in their own orchestra. a Roosevelt has announced that he stands by the statement issued in 1904, that under no conditions will he accept another nomination for president. Does Teddy really mean it? One thing is certain: it relieves the situation in that the Southern republicans can no longer hold him up as a dummy to hide their real choice. Strange to say, all of these alleged race riots report that a large number of Negroes were killed and a few whites wounded. Ts it hecause the white man sends out the reports that invariably the colored man geis the worst of it? We have often heard of a person ho- ing handed a ler~n, but Bishop Henry M. Turner took a divorced lemon over the protest of the College of Bishops of the A. M. B. Church. Peace will now skidoo from the Bishop's Coun- cil, ‘The first legislation to pass the Oklahoma legislature was a “Jim Crow” bill, Such was to be expected from a state that adopted such a mis- fit constitution as did that state.

Layman for the Managership of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church. CT. gre CORO ee a eT eT the minds of the delegates at the Gen- eral Conference of the A.M, Et Church next May will be whether a layman, per se, is eligible to the Managership of the S. 5. Union, Tt is claimed by some that laymen are incompetent because the Manager is responsible for the literature sent out by the house; that a layman does not know enough about the Bible and Sunday school literature to publish <uch matter, Others simply -claim that it is a preacher's job. The first objection is too unreasonable to bear anything like a light being turned on; and the second is too silly to be no- ticed at all. It is not the purpose of this article to answer either argument. But I wish to advance a few thoughts why a layman may manage a publish- ing house operated by the church as easily as he can any other business concern; and then to make some other oheeevations, : The Sunday School Union Publish- ing House is, to all intents and pur- poses, a business concern, the publica- tion of the Sunday school literature being a feature of the work done in the establishment; and as the volume of-the business shall increase from year to year, that feature of the busi- ness will no doubt grow less impor- tant In proportion to the other work done there, At least it should, if it doesn’t. By this 1 mean that the pub- lication of the Sunday school litera- ture will be a very small item com- pared with the volume of business that will be done by the house; especially if the Manager is a business man, The A. M. B, Church has two puv- lishing houses; one in Nashville and one in Philadelphia. The history and name of the Nashville house is unique. its establishment was a creature of cireumstances; its founding was acci- dental, And yet I believe that Divin- ity shaped its destiny. “Its founder was an ambitious man. He was deter- mined to make for himself a name. He took the children of the church by storm, ‘He scoured the treasures ot every Sunday school in the Connec- tion, and raked in money by the thou- sands till he did not know what to do with it. Finally the happy thought struck him of purchasing a building and establishing a department which would memorialize his name forever. To have given it out that he was es- tablishing another publishing house would have been the signal for the bitterest fight he ever had on his hands. He was shrewd enough to know that. Hence he took the money and purchased a building and dedi- cated it to the children of the church, and called it the Sunday School Union Publishing House, And now what is it but a pubbishing house, pure and simple? To say that a layman is Incompetent to operate a publishing house is to ar- gue that gospel ministers are the busi- ness men of the world—a statement too far from the truth to admit of re- spectable controversy, According to the single-handed methods employed by the founder of that institution, there was a charter of incorporation drawn up making the head of the concern most independent and, at the same time, the most anulti- headed official in the Church. His vower is all but absoulte, as an official, Ne is mannger-secretary-treasurer-ed- ‘tor, and ex-officio candidate for the bishopric. The Sunday School Union has had two different executive officers. Beth of them have found time to fill all aforesaid positions as chief official. They have not only edited one publica: tion, but they have edited two at the same time, viz: the Sunday school lit erature and some official organ of the concern, It is, however, just to them to state that neither of them has ever pretended to have done all this work rersonally. They have had to have help, and a plenty of it. The first attempt at editing the lit erature of the A. M. B. Sunday schools was made in 1893, and it happenec that I was the first man to do the work under the employment of Dr, C S. Smith. It has been done by oth ers, except the Manager, ever since And it will ever be the same as long D. A. DORT CH, FURNITURE AND GENERAL HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS, CASH OR CREDIT.

Reduced to its final analysis, the question is: “Cannot a layman as manager employ help to carry on that work as well as a minister can? Are they all blockheads? Have we got no jaymen with business sense? But it ‘is only of late years that this anti- layman howl has been raised. Broth- er J. H. Murphy, of Baltimore, has pees a candidate of long standing; and everybody conceded to him the right, as a member of the chureh, to aspire to that position, Now two prominent Southern laymen have dared to an- ‘nounce themselves for that position. At once the ery goes up: Down with ‘the laymen, These two men are Mr, ‘D. A. Hart and Mr. Ira T, Bryant. 1 know both of them personally, Either would, in my opinion, make a success" ful manager of the S. S. Union pub- lishing house, TI make this statement, not on account of personal friendship to these gentlemen, but as a matter of fact. Mr. Hart is at present prac- ifeally the manager of the great Na- ‘tional Baptist Publishing House, the largest concern of its kind among Ne- zrees in the world, and although I am not authorized to make the assertion. ne is the big wheel in that whole ma- chinery. D. A. Hart probably knows. more about operating a publishing house than any preacher in the Con- nection, Tra T. Bryant was reared in a print- ing establishment and publishing house. A part of that time was in the S. S. Union building. Whether he holds a number of diplomas from nrominent schocls or not, those who know him must recognize his ability as a scholar, or else plead guilty to being grossly ignorant themselves. Both Hart and Bryant advocate the idea that the S. S. Union can be oper- ated upon pure business principles; that they can do it without asking any ‘onger for the Children’s Day money; that they could in a reasonably short time make the Concern a source of revenue to the Church. I am not an advocate of the theory of putting laymen at the head of either publishing house; but I am in favor of putting the fittest man in position, whether he be lay or ministerial. Say what you will, the Church will by and by wake up to the fact that the Nash- ville publishing house will have to have a manager and a regular Sunday school editor. And why not? It is a fact that the manager is now able to nay some one else to edit the iitera- ‘ure. Why not let the editor be a full-fledged general officer? It will cost no more; and the individual who does the work will get full credit for it. _ Bryant is being denounced by the Monitor for issuing a circular as a means of reaching the.ear of the del- egates of the General Conference. He is being branded as a liar in some things that he is saying in that cir- cular. But in what respect Bryant is lying, has not yet been set forth Even Brother John M. Henderson has been induced to bring the influence of his mighty pen to bear upon the sub ject. He also says Mr, Bryant is a liar; but studiously avoids telling what the lie is. When Dock Hart launches his cam- paign, he will be a liar sogne, too. He will be charged with being an under. graduate; as being a layman; as not being a full-blooded African Methodist, because he is in the employ of the Baptist Publishing House, ete. Mr. Hart’s campaign matter will also have to be conducted through circulars or through some secular paper, because, being a layman, all the columns of the church papers will be closed against him. He will be denounced for that, too, It is a great pity that ministers of the gospel will play cheap politics Mr. J. A.

Under the Auspices of the Baptist State Convention of Tennessee. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. Winter Session Opens January 1, 1908 Located at Nashville, the Athens of the South; unusual educational advantages are offered; besides, ROGER WILLIAMS occupies a site at once ideal for an institution of learning. Situated on the east bank of the Cumberland, it is unsurpassed for elevation, health, beauty of scenery for miles around, and is within a few minutes' walk along the White's Creek turnpike from North First Street car line. Equipment. There are three buildings on the campus of 12 acres: the main one is two stories high, with basement, steam-heated and electric-lighted, and will be used for chapel, class-rooms, and dormitory for young ladies, for all of which it is admirably adapted; the second will be used for boys' dormitory and dining-hall; the third will be the administration building. A capable and efficient corps of instructors and officers has been selected, under whose charge the best interests of every student will be carefully safeguarded. Aim. As in the past, ROGER WILLIAMS stands for Christian education, secured largely through the careful and disciplinary training of mind, soul and body. The Literary Department will consist of English, Academic, and College and Theological Courses. The Bible will be a daily text-book in recitation. And one hour of useful employment for the institution, each day, will be expected of every student. Further, ROGER WILLIAMS stands for Christian education, firm in the belief that it is the most potent factor in the permanent uplift of any people; it commends the heroic struggle the race is making to make its youth worthy to win in the battle of life, and thus seeks in good faith the opportunity to help in the inculcation of the principles of self-reliance and self-support through self-direction and self-help. Terms. Tuition, board, washing, heat, light, furnished rooms, etc., except towels, rugs, and such like will be provided for $11.00 per school month of 28 days, payable in advance.

In Memory of Bessie Marshall, Who Fell asleep in Jesus, Dec. 9 "Another earth child gone to heaven." Another earth child gone to heaven— Sad and dreary is the home; But there's joy among the angels Gathered round the great white throne. In that throng of joyous angels flying, Round the throne of love, Here is one they lately welcomed From our arms of tender love. The angel sent earthward By the Savior's infinite love, Many things while here she taught us Patience, gentleness and love. Her life so pure, so true and gentle, Was mirrored from the heaven above: Left an impression of the Christ-life, Taught us of this wondrous love. And oh, how we learned to love her, While this earth she made her home, God above, precious, and he, only He, can tell and he alone. And our hearts are torn with sorrow. Yet we weep not in despair, For we know our darling waiteth In that heavenly home so fair. She is waiting at the threshold Of her newly-found, heavenly home, Eager there to meet her loved ones, As to their reward they come. May we live, while here we journey, That when the Master bids us come We shall, with our precious darling, Rest in peace for aye, at home. Father, mother, sister, brother, On the Lord your burden cast, He will comfort, cheer, sustain you, Safely bring you home at last. "SOWING AND REAPING." The coming lecture, for men only, to be delivered at 3 p. m. at the Mount Olive aptist Church on Sunday, December 22, by Mr. Chas. Stewart, the newspaper correspondent, religious worker and general educational man of the United States, is attracting no little attention. The ministers of the city will announce the lecture at their services Sunday in order that every male citizen in the city may avail himself of the opportunity to attend the meeting. ```markdown ``` The subject selected by Mr. Stewart is "Sowing and Reaping." He will speak from experience and observation, and being well posted, will no doubt give his audience a rare treat. Then, too, Mr. Stewart is a reader of no mean ability. He has made a special study of Paul Laurence Dunbar, as well as the productions of D. Webster Davis. He is known in every state in the Union, making it his special business, in connection with his newspaper work, to attend annual conferences, quadrennial conferences, associations, state conventions and national conventions, state grand lodges and supreme grand lodges. In fact he is an all round man, capable of giving justice to the subject, and furnishing a full entertainment for the afternoon. There will be no admission fee. Everybody has been invited. Mr Stewart will speak in the morning at one of the C. M. E. churches. THE TWENTY-FIFTH AND FORAKER. Into the fight without caring, Even to death they obeyed; Patient and faithful and daring— This is the record they made. Standing where war raged the longest, Falling with face to the foe; Of all stalwart warriors the strongest— Say not their enemies so? Condemned by the head of the Nation, Who sought their brave spirits to quell, Stubornly holding their station, Like heroes the Twenty-fifth fell. And now see a bold figure rising— Foraker, the champion of right, The shafts of his critics despising, Boldly demanding, "More light!" Defender of his brave defenders; A man who his conscience obeyed; Who blotted the lies of pretenders— This is the record he made. Not the Twenty-fifth, but the Nation. Is cursed with a dishonored name; Unjustly dismissed from their station— Where now lie the crime and the shame? —Dan Hackley Winston. Beginning Sunday morning the Sunday school exercises of Mount Olive Church will be held in the auditorium. COMMUNICATION. (Continued from Page 4.) pers with mud-slinging, so common to the ward politician. It is especially regrettable that The Monitor, the official organ of our Sunday schools, should lead in this method of personal attack and billingsgate. Regrettable, first, because that paper is supposed to be the model of decent and respectable journalism for our children to read. Secondly, because the editor of that paper is aspiring to the highest position in the gift of the church. It makes the paper unfit for the purpose for which it is intended; and it will serve to send another Bishop to the bench full of political sores and scars, thereby rendering him less popular, weakening his influence for much good that he might do, for many years to come. I voted for Dr. Chappelle for the S. S. Union against all comers; I expect to vote for him for the bishopric (D. V.). But I think that his methods of campaign are wrong, and that he should stop. J. A. JONES. Shelbyville, Dec. 9, 1907. Texas College. Mr. Jaasper Tappan Phillips, of this city, sends the following letter to the editor of The Globe: Dear Sir:I take this opportunity to inform you briefly relative to my new field of labor. Texas College, as you know, is one of our C. M. E. schools. Although in its thirteenth year it bids fair to be in a very few years the greatest institution of learning in Colored Methodism. Rev. S. W. Brown, A. M., its efficient president, is gradually bringing up the school to an ideal college. The enrollment is unusually large, and students from far and near continue to pour in. Supported, as the president is by a faculty which has degrees from the best colored universities, and who have also done post work at Chicago University. Howard and other reputable institution of the North, we can not but obtain the very best possible results. The musical department, of which Miss Florence K. Ross is directress, deserves especial mention. It is in a flourishing condition and from all indications promises to have a larger number of pupils this year than ever before. Miss Ross as will be remembered was a member of Class '07 Fisk University. The various literary clubs are interesting as well as entertaining. The young people therefore spend Friday evenings very pleasantly and profitably with the poets, writers of note and current topics. These clubs develop the oratorical as well as the literary side of a student's life Athletics and college spirit seem to be everywhere in evidence. On the campus one can hear college yells and songs as the football teams meet on the gridiron for their daily struggles. Perhaps you would be interested to know that our football team played Wiley University at Marshall, Texas, on Thanksgiving Day, but lost. The Wiley boys outweighed the Texas College boys, were more experienced, and two of our boys were away from home, so that these three salient points were in our disfavor. The score was 28 to 0 in favor of Wiley, "We are defeated, but not conquered." We are scheduled to play Prairie View Normal School. I don't know whether we shall play the game or not. The team is being coached by Prof. J. B. Prather and myself. The Glee Club is doing good work and I shall not test until I bring it up to the standard. I am planning to give concerts at neighboring cities, which I think will be a great advertising feature for the school. Texas College without doubt has the brightest future of any of our schools. A new girl's dormitory will soon be started, the building of which will mark the beginning of a new era of progress in the history of Texas College. Another rally will be held in this city next September for Texas College and the friends of the "Purple and Gold" are determined to raise another large amount. If it is necessary they will surpass the $11,511 raised at Dallas a few months ago. We are doing well and the work continues to move smoothly on. You cannot imagine how pleased I am to receive the dear old Globe. I could not get along without it. I find it to be such a pleasant companion. It is always "newsy," and I read it with joy and interest. FAIR ASSOCIATION MEETS The Tennessee Colored Fair Association held a meeting at the One Cent Savings Bank Tuesday evening at which the permanent organization was completed by the adoption of bylaws and rules of order. President J. C. Napier presided and all the other officers were present. Several new members were present, among whom were E. T. Keller, J. Pressley, E. W. Brown and others. The plans for holding the fair are rapidly materializing and the Executive Committee, upon which the brunt of the work will fall, is at work. Next Tuesday the committee will go to Greenwood Park for the purpose of making an examination of the grounds so as to ascertain the suitability of the Park for Fair purposes.

SPORTING NEWS. } By Leon, Encouraging Outlook. The fans are asking what Nashville will have in the line of baseball next season, It is learned from General Manager J. Blaine Boyd, of the Na- tional Baptist team, that it will be one of the best teams that ever represent- ed this city. He also said that a num- ber of good teams are asking for dates here, such teams as Ex-Cuban Giants, Philadelphia Giants and Leland Giants of Chicago, and several others of less note will play in Nashville on their return East early in the season. These games will likely be played at Green- wood Park. Jack Blackburn Whips Australian Puailist. ‘ack Blackburn, of Philadelphia, knocked out George Gunther, the Aus- tralian, in the fifth round of their six- round battle before the Industrial Ath- letic Club. ‘The blow that did the damage was a terrible right to the jaw. When it landed Gunther dropped to the floor like a log, and was uncon- seious until the referee had counted the fatal ten. It was a well-timed Vow. Blackburn put all his strength in the wallop and landed on the vital spot. The first round ended with hon- ors even, After that Blackburn gained the lead and had the battle weil in hand. Burns-Johnson Match Certain. Unless there is a backdown it looks very much just now as if a match be- tween Tommy Burns and Jack John- son for the heavyweight champion: ship will be clinched, and that the men will settle the question of su- premacy in California next March or even earlier, Sam Fitzpatrick, the manager of Johnson, ‘s 30 anxious to bring the matter to a head that he has promised to post a forfeit and will sign articles as soon as Burns makes it clear to what conditions he will agree, Fitzpatrick, confident that John- eon will whip Burns, says he will agree to give the latter 75 per cent of the purse if Johnson does not score a knockout inside of twenty rounds, and 50 per cent if he is successful. But when it comes down to cases it is be- lieved that Fitzpatrick will not urge such unvsval conditions, and that he will be satisfied with a 75 and 25 ora (0 and 46 per cent division of the mon. ey on the simple proposition of win or lose. According to reports received here yesterday from England, Burns says that he will make a match with Johnson as soon as he arrives in this country. Burns is quoted as saying that he will defend the heavyweight championship against all comers, with a preference for Jack Johnson, Burns however, declares that he may rematr in England for some time yet, nartien larly if he can get on a mill with Jim Roche, a new Irish champion. But if there is no money in a proposec mill with Roche, Burns says that he will sail for Amerca the latter part 0 this month. James Coffrotn, the San Francise fight promoter, is quoted as sayin; ‘that he will hang up a $20,000 purse for the Burns-Johnson fight, and thal he believes the month of March is the best time to hold it. As Coffroth deals in real money, and as the Nevada pro- moters have apparently run out, it would seem that his decidedly inter- esting affair will be decided on the coast. Bee HELP FOR NEGRO REFORM LEAGUE Rev, J. E. Purdy, who has charge of the Negro Reform School, which is lo- cated 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 ob- tained from Police and Criminal Courts and efforts are being made to make good citizens out of them rather than hardened criminals. The ex- pense during the winter months is very heavy and the managemert 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 liv- ing. This cause-has received much favorable encouragement and many have lent a helping hand. ee 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 mency than ever before. Don’t listen to the fairy tales that times ave hard and will be worse. There are a whole lot of ycople who seem to have the idea in their minds that the great American public have cone dead broke and haven't a “sou marouee,” 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 devo'd of any purchasing power, You must remember that cotton, wheat, grain and lumber will be sold for mil- lions, and while there are few people who will hesitate in building homes. or buying automobiles. So there will always be money to buy Xmas pres- ents and the best present is to get one dozen of our best photos, something that will be more appreciated, than some useless thing.
