THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that work, providing they must know they wait"—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. Only 4 Days More Remain to Get the Globe and Winston's Poems for $1.25 MOVES INTO NEW CHAPEL For National Baptist Publishing House Employees. DR. J. M. FROST GUEST OF HONOR, PRESENTED CANE. MPRESSIVE SERVICES MARK ENTRANCE INTO EDIFICE RECENTLY ERECTED—DR. BOYD TELLS OF THE STRUGGLES IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE INSTITUTION—FROM NOTHING THE CONCERN HAS GROWN TO BE ASSESSED AT $250,000. The new chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board of this city, a place set apart for holding religious services for thirty minutes in each of the six working days of the week, a plan laid out and so thoroughly executed for the past six years by this institution, with its vast number of employees, and which seems to have worked to such good results in their interest and in the upbuilding of the mammoth institution under its present management, was dedicated Saturday morning at 9:10 o'clock. The program on that morning varied but little from that of other days except that the music was better and the singing was sweeter. The beautiful anthem "Princes, Awake," (words by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, music by the late Prof. Wm. Rosborough), which was no doubt the equal of any anthem ever rendered in Nashville, was the opening song. Rev. C. H. Clark led in invocation. It was at that point that Dr. Boyd informed the magnificent audience of employees in front of him that they were gathered there, first, to commemorate the eleventh anniversary of the actual beginning of Negro Baptists to send out Baptist literature; second, to dedicate the house of worship; and, third, to give a token of appreciation to one friend of his, who had proven a friend to the institution and the denomination. Dr. Boyd said that on behalf of the Negro Baptists, composing the Nationall Baptist Convention, numbering about 2,500,000, according to revised statistics for 1907, the National Baptist Publishing Board, under the management of said convention, desired to present Rev, J. M. Frost, D. D., Secretary of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board (white) with a gold-cased cane. The several reasons set forth for this presentation can best be characterized in the presentation speech by Dr. Boyd, which was in parts follows: Dr. J. M. Frost, we have invited you here this morning, not because you are a stranger, and not because we have such a beautiful and cozy chapel or prayer room—nothing to be compared with the beautiful board room in your building, but because this is our first assemble in this new room. I need not tell you that this room is not complete, for you can see that the overhead is without ceiling. All of the doors, windows, window casing, wainscoting and everything of the kind is without paint, and yet to us this room is very precious. "I would like to invite your attention eleven years backward. If you can recall the dim and insignificant fact that a little more than eleven years ago you had a letter from a person away down in Texas, dated from the pontio. The letter ran about as follows: Dear Sir:—You are possibly aware the fact that on the 16th day of last September, I was elected secretary of the Home Mission Board: secretary, treasurer and general manager of the printing committee, which as yet has never been styled or named. As you are publishing Sunday school periodicals for the Southern Baptist Convention, I write to ask. What you wi NASHVILLE. TENN.. FR1DAY. DECEMBER 27. 1907. charge to print 10,000 copies of your periodicals with the imprint of the National Baptist Convention? Please answer at the earliest possible date, as our Convention has authorized me to publish a series of Sunday school periodicals by January 1, 1897. 'Signed, 'R. H. BOYD.' "A copy of this same letter was sent to the American Baptist Publication Society, the National Baptist Publication Society, then of St. Louis, and a copy addressed to you. I need not here repeat the answers received from the other two institutions, but you can not imagine my surprise when in your answer you said you had neither type nor presses, that your printing was done by contract, but if I could see you and have a conference with you, you and your Board stood ready to do anything in your power to assist in this work. "If you remember the morning of November 14, 1896, a Negro, poorly clad, distressed in looks, trembling in voice, appeared at your office door, which was then situated in one room of the Southern Methodist Publishing House. Sir, if I am permitted to live two decades longer, I should never forget the warm shake of the hand, the pleasant smile, and the invitation offered me to take a seat. And, like an older and more experienced brother, you went over calmly and carefully the difficulties before me. Do you remember that when I asked you the price of the electrotype plates from which your periodicals for the first quarter of 1897 were being printed, and upon what terms you would sell them to me, how you smiled and yet looked at me with pity, and said: 'They are not for sale. When our printing is done, we are done with them. They are of no service to us and no service to the printer, except for the metal that is in them. If the use of these plates would benefit your race, benefit your denomination, and glorify God, I would feel ashamed, and feel that I was degrading the denomination which I represent, should I sell them to another more poverty stricken, and less experienced than ours. But if you can use these plates to any benefit (and I am sure you can, if you will), you may have them graciously—you may have any part of them; you may have the use of any cuts, pictures, maps, plates or anything else that is ours. You may change any name, change any article, or use any part of any article or anything else that we have, and as far as our limited stock will allow, you can get from us Bibles, song books, testaments or any other religious books, and we will allow you time to collect from your people to pay us.' "You then advised me to call and see the Brandon Printing Company, the University Printing Press Company; you told me that they did your printing and that you would give your influence to have them print for me in the same way, at the same price and under the same terms. "You will possibly recall how I seemed to be attracted by a figure on the carpet near my feet, when I said to you that 'Our Board has not furnished me with one dollar, not even money enough to buy one postage stamp, and yet I feel that I must undertake this work.' Do you remember how kindly you said to me, 'Take courage. Six or seven years ago I came to Nashville under similar circumstances and in a similar condition. I am not much better off now, but I think I am in a position to help you. Take courage; go ahead. Call on me from time to time, when you meet difficulties, and if I can help you out, I will do so.' Each word was indelibly impressed upon my memory; I cannot forget them if I would; I would not if I could. "With that offer of help, and with that encouragement furnished, I went forward. The printer credited me; I used your plates. I shall not, here mention the criticism that came against me, except to say you will remember the stereotype saving that took the rounds throughout the country, 'Negro backs and white man's brains'. I did not retaliate or answer (the criticism then. I will not retaliate now. You may also remember (or it may have passed so unnoticed that your own Southern brethren, criti-vou have forgotten it), how you were criticised. Criticised by a number of cised by the Northern white Baptists, (Continued on Page 3.) GREAT LECTURE BY CHAS. STEWART Large Crowd of Representative Men Assembled TO GREET HIM AT MT. OLIVE BAPIST CHURCH. SUNDAY AFTERNOON A RED LETTER DAY IN THE HISTORY OF NASHVILLE MR. STEWART DROVE HOME FACTS THAT WILL TAKE ROOT AND PRODUCE MUCH GOOD-EVERY MAN PRESENT COULD NOT HELP BEING BENEFITED. If the remark is ever again made that the Nashville men can not be united in an effort that is for the benefit of the race, it can be emphatically denied. Sunday afternoon was a demonstration of this fact. Nearly a regiment, in point of number, of hale, hardy, business-like and true men of the race braved the cold, steady rain that had continued from early morning throughout the day, to be present to hear the heart to heart talk that was scheduled to take place at 3 o'clock. Carpenters, blacksmiths, merchants, lawyers, doctors, farmers, ministers and laboring men from all walks of life, bankers, and in fact, all the men were there. They make this declaration, "Charley Stewart has come and gone. His lecture was advertised and delivered. The men of Nashville responded in numbers." There is no meeting on record that had a more representative body of citizens than the audience contained Sunday afternoon that filled the spacious auditorium of the Mount Olive Baptist Church. It is estimated that fully 700 men (none of them being under the age of eighteen), listened for an hour and thirty minutes to a heart to heart talk by this well-known newspaper correspondent, writer and lecturer. The program was scheduled to begin at 3 o'clock and promptly at that hour a full choir of male voices, under the directorship of Mr. L. S. Gray, with Prof. Teasley at the pipe organ, began to sing "All hail the power of Jesus' name!" Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor of Spruce Street Baptist Church, read 2 Samuel 13:1-18, after which every man in the house stood up and sang "America" as has never been sung before by a male audience. The very music itself, nealing forth from the throats of hundreds of men, was enough to lend an air of sincerity to the occasion. Then the song, with all of its patriotism, with all of its true love for the country expressed therein, made the weakest heart grow stout and the feeblest frame grow strong. Rev. Imes, pastor of the Howard Congregational Church, offered a most earnest and fervent prayer. At this point, Rev. C. H. Clark, introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Charles Stewart, who at once began without offering any preliminary remarks, except to say that he wanted the attention, the sympathy and the co-operation of his audience, which rose up before him in the spacious auditorium, in point of strength, like Gibraltar itself. Every profession of Nashville was represented in the meeting. Every business interest in Nashville was represented. It was a meeting for the common interest of men and for the general unbuilding of the race. The plain, unassuming way in which the speaker got at his subject, "Sowing and Reaping," kept every man within reach. He touched every heart. He swayed them only as Stewart can sway them. At times he threw his audience away from him, and at will he would bring them back with most fervent "amens," or continuous amplause on some point that he had made with such force and with such preciseness. He went on asking the question, "Are we a race of weaklings?" He put every man to thinking; he gave every man a question; he confounded every man with a proposition. They agreed with him; they answered his questions either by a fullness of their breathing, a nod of the head or an audible declaration that he was right. If any man in Nashville, that listened to this lecture, does not pronounce it to be the most timely, the best rendered and the most appropriate ever attempted, he did not really get the full inspiration that was handed out at the meeting. What he went over, what he laid plain and bare by his earnest way of talking, seemed to have come within the proper place. G, U, O, OF O, F, AND ENDOWMENT BOARD. The Endowment Board of the Tennessee District Grand Lodge G. U. O. of O. F. met Thursday morning in the Odd Fellows Hall. Much business was transacted and a Globe representative was informed by Prof. W. S. Thompson, secretary of the Endowment Department, that great results are expected through this department during the next year. The following named gentlemen contribute the board: L. S. Orr, Memphis, District Grand Master; Prof. T. P. Turner, Pulaski, District Grand Secretary; Prof. Joseph O. Booker, Trenton, District Grand Treasurer; Dr. C. O. Hunter, Columbia, District Grand Medical Examiner; Prof. W. S. Thompson, Nashville, Secretary of Endowment Board. Prof. J. A. Henry Passes Through the City. Prof. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga Grand Master of the State Lodge, of Tennessee, passed through the city Wednesday en route to Mt. Pleasant Tenn., where he delivered an address on Thursday. Friday Prof. Henry meets the Endowment Board of the Masonic Grand Lodge in Columbia. Prof. W. S. Thompson, State Grand Secretary, of Nashville, and Prof. J. H. Kelly, of Columbia, Secretary of Endowment, were also present. Masons Will Celebrate St. John's Day. Friday night, December 27, the Masonic Lodges of this city will celebrate St. John's Day at Masonic Hall. Great preparation has been made for the meeting and all the Masons are looking forward to the time with much eagerness. Prof. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga, Tenn., State Grand Master, will be the principal speaker. ※ ※ ※ Orphan's Home Board Meets The Board of Control, which has the oversight of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, located near this city, will meet in their regular session Saturday. They will be conducted to the site of the home by Rev. Preston Taylor, chairman of the Board. This home is situated on the Lebanon pike, opposite Greenwood Park about two miles from the city. It is a beautiful site and runs back several hundred yards toward the river. The board at the meeting to be held Saturday will determine what disposition will be made of the management of the home and farm for the incoming year. GRAND CANTATA AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The Sunday school children of St. John A. M. F. Church, under the direction of Miss Lizzie Dickerson and Miss Prince Moi Ewing, rendered "Santa Claus" Foneymoon," a cantata, on Tuesday night to celebrate the annual Christmas entertainment. None of the participants were over 15 years of age, but the play was so perfect one could hardly believe that they were not grown up persons who had had years of training at such performing. The whole exercise was gone through without a bobble, and no one in audience once suspected that two of the persons having special parts were absent and others had to be substituted. The children had planned several jokes on Mr. Hart, the superintendent, and he enjoyed them as much as any one in the audience. The entertainment was a great success and reflects much credit upon the ability of Miss Dickerson and Miss Ewing. No. 51. EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL SEE NASHVILLE AT HER BEST. PROMINENT SPEAKERS WILL ENTERTAIN THE AUDIENCE-FORTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT EVENT-DAY NOT UNIVERSALLY OBSERVED-ENTHUSIASM RUNNING HIGH AMONG NEGROES OF NASHVILLE AND TENNESSEE. An opportunity will be given the Afro-American citizens of this city next Wednesday to make a comparison of the progress made since the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. In other words they will have a big public meeting to take a retrospective view over the forty-five years of freedom they have enjoyed. The citizens of Tennessee ought to be—and, in fact, they are—proud of the record they have made. Thus they will no doubt turn out en masse to do honor to this occasion. Very few states in the Union celebrate the same day. Some of them celebrate the day the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, which was September 22, 1862; others celebrate the day the Proclamation went into effect, which was January 1, 1863; while still others celebrate the day the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced in their respective states, which varies from one to three years later. If all were to celebrate the day the Proclamation was issued or went into effect, there would be little trouble in having one "National Emancipation Day." Out of all the states and territories which the proclamation effected, but few of them celebrated on the same day. It is known, however, that celebrations of some sort are usually held in the Southern states, and Tennessee is not an exception. Nashville has had on her Christmas attire for the holidays. It looks as though she will keep it on at least until after the celebrating of the Emancipation Proclamation, which has been arranged to take place New Year's night, Wednesday, January 1, at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The public is preparing to show their appreciation by the large attendance that will listen to the exercises. There will not be a gorgeous street parade led by a brass band; there will be no citizens in carriages, nor will there be any decorative floats with a "Queen of the day," etc., but there will be a glorious celebration held. It will not begin until the shades of night have fairly enveloped the City of Rocks, but when the program begins, there will be enough oratory filled with patriotism for "our country" to cheer any of the dull hearts. The speakers for the evening are well able to entertain any audience. No occasion in the history of public affairs is likely to attract greater attention than is the celebration. The Negro citizenship of Nashville is as loyal as patriotic and as race-loving as that of any city; and now that some general celebration is being fostered in which all the people can participate, it will fall short of nothing but a glorious time. The activity of the Abraham Lincoln Post, Grand Army Republic, in looking out for the program and the assistance given them by the Ladies' Auxiliary, as well as other prominent citizens, insures success. No effort will be made to make it a speculating affair. The admission is free. Those who desire to spend an evening in communicating the Emancipation day will find this entertainment profitable. While the program was given out last week it was thought advisable fendant, enter his appearance herein on the first Monday in January next (1908), it being January 6, 1908, and a rule day of said Court, and plead, answer or demur to Complainants' bill, or the same will be taken for confessed as to him and set for hearing exparte, and that a copy of this order be published for four consecutive weeks in the Nashville Globe.

Two hundred and fifty white people and more colored were the guests of W. R. Polston, manager of the Utopia, at the Utopia, the colored Odd Fellows hall and numerous private homes at a splendid Christmas dinner Wednesday. The big public dining room of the Fourth avenue restaurant was turned into a place for the reception of 150 women and children from the North Nashville district. Under the supervision of Mr. Preston Taylor, the Odd Fellows' hall, at 447 Fourth avenue, North, was converted into a dining room where a much larger number of colored women and children were fed. Baskets to the number of 100 were distributed among deserving families from the store of Crone & Jackson as a center. Each basket contained a large amount of substantial provisions. Bacon, flour, coffee, candy and oranges were all included in generous portions in these. At the Odd Fellows' hall the dinner was served to the colored people of the city, all due to the generosity of Mr. Polston. Three large tables were placed in this room and about 210 were fed. Committees had been appointed by Mr. Preston Taylor several days ago and all the old decrenid women and poor children to be found were given tickets. Besides these the inmates of the Colored Day Home, the Peyton Reform School and the Colored Reform School under the management of J. E. Purdy, were served. Turkey, cranberries, celery, turnips two kinds of potatoes, bread; fifty gallons of milk, fruit cake and many other things were given in the greatest est of profusion. The inmates of the three homes repeated passages of scriptures, the Lord's Prayer in concert and MUNION WITH THE WHICH TO LORD'S SUPPEN A QUARDRUPLE-PLATE 2 Plates, 2 Goblets, 1 NATIONAL BAPTIST P COMMUNION SETS.

HOME FROM CANADA Mr. Thomas Johnson, formerly of this city, but now of Montreal, Canada, has returned to spend the holidays with his mother and sister, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Genie B. Williams, of 1004 McLennore street, and other relatives. He relates that his stay in the north country, to which the runaway slave once took the "Underground Railroad," as the destination of his freedom and the Mecca of his hope, was very pleasant in every way. "Though there is a larger measure of freedom in the truer sense of entrammeled manhood in Canada as compared with what is in vogue in the land of my birth, yet I could not forget the more endearing memories and associations of my old home. The longing to revisit the scenes of my earlier years," he said, "grew upon me so intensely that I could not choose but come, and here I am enjoying myself intimately." NOTICE.

Every Church ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. They can have them made out of the best grade of guarduple-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.

Several wagons were kept busy during the day hauling dinners to those who had been given cards, but were unable to attend on account of sickness or infirmities. At the close of the meal all that was left was distributed among the three schools represented. The poor people of this city are very grateful to Mr. Polston for the generous hospitality he has shown them from time to time, and for the Christmas dinners he gives every year. This is the first time the poor among the Negroes have been included in his gift. It is believed that the fraternal organizations of the city will catch this spirit, and that next Christmas every society in this city will make gifts to the deserving poor women and children. Forced to Leave Oklahoma Town by the White Inhabitants. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 25.—Negroes are rapidly leaving Henrietta where the lynching of James Garden, a Negro, occurred yesterday following the murder of Albert Bates, a prominent white man. The blacks were given notice to get out of the town within forty-eight hours. A second attack was made on the jail early to-day by a mob of citizens who sought a Negro named Bill Smith, charged with inciting Garden to commit the crime. Sheriff W. F. Robertson, however, spirited the man away from the mob and took him to Oknulgee. Jim Johnson, who gave Garden a rifle, was also taken to Oknulgee. Question of Combining with Colored Fair Association Comes Up. The Tennessee Negro Industrial, Educational and Agricultural Fair Association held a meeting last Monday and from the report of President F. G. Smith, great progress has been made. The President reported that he had been in correspondence with all the business firms and farmers of the state who had made exhibits at the Jamestown Exposition. As state agent for the Executive Committee of the Negro Exhibit at Jamestown, he had traveled over the state, visiting Memphis, Jackson and Dyersburg in West Tennessee; Nashville, Clarksville, Shelbyville, Murfeesboro and Winchester in Midde Tennessee, and Chattanooga and Knoxville in East Tennessee. He had preserved a list of the exhibitors at Jamestown and had written to them all, and had received many encouraging replies and many promises of exhibits at the Negro State Fair. The President reported that most of the exhibitors at Jamestown had written that they would preserve their exhibits and ship them to Nashville. President Smith also exhibited a list of 1,000 names of county teachers who had attended his State Institutes year after year and who would cooperate with him in making the Fair a success. These county teachers are acquainted with the leading Negro farmers in their county and many of them are engaged in farming themselves. He also presented to the Association the names of all the ladies' clubs in the various cities of the state who do needle work, such as embroidery, pyrography, clay molding etc., and correspondence will be entered into with them. The question of combining with the colored Fair Association was discussed pro and con. President Smith advised peace and harmony. He exhorted the men to avoid bitterness and antagonism. It was the general opinion that it would take the combined effort of all to make a decent showing and give a successful Fair. President Smith said that he regretted that two of the leading citizens of Nashville who were members of the other Fair Association had sought by their influence to prevent him from getting the State Fair Gounds to hold the Fair. The Committee on Letterheads, Envelopes and Certificates of Stock made its report, which was adopted. The Association complimented Mr. H. L. Keith on the beautiful design he drew for the letterheads and the cuts which he had made. Bills for the same were ordered paid. When asked if any reply had been made to his message of consolidation with the other Association, the President answered. No. A vote was then carried that the Negro State Fair Association proceeded with its plans until an answer was received. Brown Building, 813 Cedar St., W. F. ROBERTSON, Proprietor.

The Missionary and Educational Union held their fourth Quarterly Meeting at the Fifteenth Avenue Church Friday, December 13. Quite an interest was manifested in the work of the Union. Money collected for missions and education, $6.00. The meeting adjourned to meet the first Friday in January at Mount Olive Baptist Church for the election of officers for the ensuing year. We are thankful for the interest manifested by some of the District Vice President. We have organized three new societies in the past month in the following churches: Mt. Zion, Mt. Gilead and First Street Baptist. We hope other doors will be opened for the women who are anxious to work to do something; we appeal to the pastors to help us. Sunday, December 8, at the appointed hour the Union held its rally for Roger Williams University at the New Building. Many of the pastors were called away at another important gathering, but we had the following brethren present, who helped and encouraged us very much: Revs Page, Keil, Kenny, Haynes, the financial agent for Roger Williams, also President of our State Convention.

MOVES INTO NEW CHAPEL. (Continued from Page 1.) and, worse than all, criticised by a number of our own Negro Baptists. I hope, sir, that you will not remember it, and so far as my own brethren are concerned, I believe their criticism was sincere, for they had been told that there was a Negro in the wood-pile. "I think, sir since knowing you so well, that you simply prayed for them as Stephen did his persecutors, saying, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they say.' form from Negro Baptist "And so youth, 1, upon you, readily gave the declining more feeble that you upon it for representa- leaned up clerical suppo After the Boyd, Rev "But, sir, I want to step from that day to this day, and tell you that you sowed in better soil, and better seed than you were possibly aware that you were sowing. From that little be ginning eleven years ago I have invited you here to see a plant located on four large lots, six brick buildings, four of which we have erected with our own hands. I shall not discuss the first cost of these, for it was not more, perhaps, than $25,000. But I tell you, sir, that a wealthy syndicate of Tennessee has asked me a third time if our Board would consider a cash proposition of surrendering our entire real estate and buildings for $50,000, which proposition I have not even so much as laid before our Board, for they would only laugh and say. This property is not for sale." I tell you, sir, that we have recently taken stock, and made out an itemized inventory, which shows our stock and machinery are invoiced at $200,000. Hence from that little beginning—the plates that you furnished us, the advice and encouragement that you gave us eleven years ago, took root, sprang up and has grown to a plant that must stand valued in the market to-day at more than $250,000. "As a small token of our appreciation, or perhaps I had better say, as an attempt to convey to you some of the gracious appreciation for allowing us, the then 1,700,000 Negro Baptists, but now 2,500,000 Negro Baptists, and, if possible, in your declining days to give to you the assurance that you have to-day more innocent Negro children asking blessings upon you and your successors; more poor, yet proud and ambitious Negro Baptist honoring the name of J. M. Frost and his successors, than any other one man in America; to serve as a memory or a sign, I to-day present to you this ebony wood, gold headed cane. Sir, this ebony wood will remind you that two million Negro Baptists honor the name and appreciate the acts of J. M. Frost and his associates. "The gold upon this cane, sir, is not presented to you for the intrinsic value of gold, but because it is the purest metal known to civilization; we desire that this shall serve to refresh your memory that the hearts of Negro Baptists, and the gratitude therein to you, is as pure as the gold that covers the surface of this cane. "You will notice, again, sir, that the knob upon the top of this cane is round; that is, it is endless. The true appreciation and the gratitude of the two million Negro Baptists are as endless and as boundless as the circle that forms the head of this cane. "We have had simply engraved upon the head of this cane five words—'National Baptist Publishing Board, 1896.' These five words, sir, represent five million people (two million Negro Baptists and three million followers). When you shall at leisure examine this engraving, do not think of the little plant of six brick buildings; the dozen or so printing presses, the binding machinery, the boilers, steam engines, the electric plant, stereotyping, the engraving, etc., which are in them, but think of their meaning and read it from bottom towards the top, from right towards the left, and you will read, '1896, Board, Publishing, Baptist, National.' "We use the word 'Board' here, sir, to represent a Christian organization. We use the word 'Publishing' to tell that this organization is spreading the glad tidings of a resurrected Christ throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, West Indies Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Philippine Islands, West, Central and South Coast Africa, calling the benighted sons of Ham to awake from their long drowsy slumber, and get ready to reunite with their brothers, the sons of Shem and Japheth. "We use the word 'National' to intimate to you that a whole nation acquiesces in these principles. We use the four combined figures, '1896,' to indicate the day that these principles began to be put in book and pamphlet form from the pens and the presses of Negro Baptists. "And sir, in my feeble financial youth, I, their representative, leaned upon you for support, which you so readily gave. As you are slightly on the decline, and are liable to grow more feeble as time passes, we desire that you shall take this cane and lean upon it for physical support, as I, the representative of this organization, leaned upon you for moral and financial support." After the presentation speech by Dr. Boyd, Rev. Dr. J. M. Frost arose-surprised, bewildered and amazed, as he did not know, until Dr. Boyd pulled the beautiful ebony cane from the book-case above his head, what was really taking place. There was nothing in the first part of the speech that would intimate what would occur; and not until the cane was really being presented did he realize that he was the honoree of the occasion. Notwithstanding he had been startled and confused by this well-laid surprise, he rallied and his speech was a masterpiece. He began it by confessing that he did not know what to say, which proved just to the reverse. He did know what to say, and he said it with the earnestness of purpose and with that true ring of sincerity that has ever been characteristic of him towards this institution and its management. He delivered the most timely, the most appropriate and the most instructive response in accepting the cane that has ever been heard in these six years that the institution has been conducting these exercises. A beautiful part of his speech was that while the work of the institution and its great progress was due to the management of Dr. Boyd, that its success now and in the future depended first upon the support by his constituents; second, upon each employee performing his or her duty. In other words, that the making of history now meant the doing of the thing well that you are appointed to do, and that each employee was as responsible for the future success of the institution by the performance of his or her duty correctly as was Dr. Boyd. He closed by saying what we do now in the minor positions we hold, is just what we will do in the future, should we be promoted or find other employment. The closing remarks were made by Dr. Boyd, in which he assured Dr. Frost that he had put forth every effort to keep any inkling of what would take place from reaching him—not even the Chairman of the Board or the Editorial Secretary, Rev. Ellington, knew what had been contemplated. MR8. PRESTON TAYLOR GIVES $53.65 TO DAY HOME. Result of Old-Fashioned Spelling Bee in Odd Fellows Auditorium. One of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season was the old-fashioned Spelling Bee given at the Odd Fellows Auditorium last week by Mrs. Preston Taylor for the benefit of the Day Home. In addition to an elaborate and up-to-now menu, good old-time supper of barbecue and corn light bread was highly enjoyed, bringing as it did to the older minds vivid pictures of times gone by and to the younger ones, keen delight in partaking taking of the delicacies enjoyed by their grand mothers. The spelling bee was the amusing feature of the evening, the many young people entering into it with zest as well as merriment. Every colored school of higher learning in the city was represented. Of the many participants all fell out one by one, beaten in the game by some English word given out to them by Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School, until two only were left. Mr. —— of Fisk University, and Miss Mabel Scott, of Walden University. It was truly steel, for when Mr. —— failed to spell a word Miss Scott failed to spell the same. After three trials on different words with the same result, Prof. Smith closed the match and announced one dollar in gold which was to go to the successful competitor, reverted to the Day Home treasury. Other interesting features of the evening were short, forceful addresses by Hon. J. C. Napier and the Rev. Preston Taylor on the necessity of not only sustaining the Day Home, but buying a building and making this work of adding and caring for little children in our city permanent. The Manager of the Home, Mrs. A. M. Waters, told of its needs. The speakers were introduced in happy terms by Dr. J. E. Wells, the physician of the Home. The elite of Nashville was present and the younger set added enjoyment to the pleasure by keeping time to strips of music. Every one missed the presence of Mrs. J. C. Napier, the president of the Day Home Club, who was writing her mother and relatives in Washington, but all felt the genial kindly presence of Mrs. I. B. Scott, the sweet, womanly woman who pre-presided over the club, and carried on its business during the absence of its president. This entertainment was not only successful in giving pleasure and information concerning a cause that needs assistance but helped that cause morally and financially to the im- Third Avenue, between Union Street and Public Square.

Every one who so graciously added Mrs. Taylor in any way in making a success of the entertainment has the sincere thanks of Mrs. Taylor, every member of the club, as well as of the little children of the Home. The use of the Auditorium for the entertainment was given by Rev. Preston Taylor. CHRISTMAS EXERCISES AT THE BLIND SCHOOL. The Christmas exercises of the Tennessee School for the Blind were held Monday night, December 23, in the chapel of the institution. The program, which had been prepared with care by the principal, Mrs. Susan Lowe, ably assisted by Misses Compton and Hunter, was a rare treat. It showed careful attention by the inmates of the institution, and was an enjoyable affair. Many of their hearts were made glad by the receipt of presents and tokens from loved ones. It was pathetic to see them pass their hands over some little token that they had received and then see their faces light up with smiles of joy and appreciation. Mr. Alex. Rogers, an old Nashville boy, who has figured conspicuously in professional circles as a composer and who for some time was with Williams & Walker, spent a part of last week in the city. He is a baritone singer of the best schools. He ran down from New York to visit relatives. The Nashville Globe. Published Every Friday in the Year.

A GIANT OF THE RACE. The completion of the new buildings of the National Baptist Publishing House and the presentation of a gold-headed ebony walking cane to Dr. J. M. Frost, of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board by the Publishing Board last Saturday—the first day services were held in the new chapel—serves to direct attention to that remarkable man, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., the founder, and to the great institution that has been reared in our midst in such an incredible short space of time. What an inspiration to the Negro is this man's life! What a lesson to the race is this enterprise standing as a living witness of the power that can be wielded if we will but unite our efforts! What a memorial to the ability of the Negro to build and manage successfully large business institutions without the supervision of white men! Eleven years ago Dr. Boyd arrived in this city with a hand-satchel and the determination to establish a publishing house. Who among those living here at the time that looked upon this man wearing "high water pants," a mackintosh coat, a stetson hat,—as much the badge of a preacher "from Texas" in those days as were long horns identification marks of a Texas steer—ever dreamed that in almost a decade he would be instrumental in building a publishing plant estimated to be worth in the neighborhood of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Who among those that had enjoyed the excellent school facilities of this age and were inclined to grow facetious on account of the grammatical construction of the sentences used by this "cornfield graduate," the half-educated whose highest ambition seemed to be to get a good position, had the faintest idea that Dr. Boyd would be in less than a generation at the head of an institution that gives steady employment to over one hundred and twenty-five skilled laborers? Dr. Bovd is truly a remarkable man. We need not eulogize his great achievements for the results of his labors are where every citizen of Nashville may see them. He has made his mark. His place in the history of the race is secure, but we, while this great man is spared to us in the vigor of his useful life, would attest the great love that is borne him by a grateful city, denomination and race. A second Booker Washington? No! He is a first Richard H. Boyd! THE NEW YEAR Ere another issue of the Globe is mailed to its many readers, 1907 will be numbered among the years of the past. The year, just coming to a close, though it ends with a depression upon business not equaled since 1893, has THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1907 been as a whole a prosperous one for the Negro. The conditions which have existed in Nashville is but an epitome of the whole country. Any one who is in the least observant, will readily acquiesce in the assertion that the colored people of Nashville have prospered during the year. Many new enterprises have been begun and a number of the older ones have made great improvements. Some few have been unable to stand competition, but such was to have been expected. With the advent of 1908, we want to wish all of our readers a Happy New Year. We hope that during the year every man, woman, boy and girl will join hands and make it possible for more people of our race in this city to own homes than ever before in its history. We hope that those homes will be such an improvement upon many of the homes of the present so that the laws of health may be the better observed and thus cut down the enormously high death rate of our people. We hope that the business interests will receive ample patronage and that there will be as many if not more new enterprises organized than in 1907. We hope that the missionary spirit, that of doing good for others will so permeate each one of the race that the charitable institutions will be placed upon a firm basis. We hope that the Business League will prove an unqualified success and the State Fair be held that will be a credit to the race. Finally, we hope that each individual, recognizing that he is a citizen of Nashville, and that whatever effects the welfare of the city will likewise effect him, will lend his every effort to promote the interests of the city. What is the matter with the politicians of color in Tennessee? Are they afraid to declare themselves since all of the powers that be in both the Brownlow and the Evans factions are falling head over heels to get into the Taft band wagon? Are they afraid to come from under cover because they know the majority of the colored voters of the state don't want Taft? Come, gentlemen, we have heard so many of you speaking of "fighting the battles of the race," in political matters, "when it took men to speak out" that we have grown to believe what you say, and we want to know if you are still ready to fight for the same cause? Let's "Remember Brownsville," get together and have some say-so about what instructions shall be given the delegates from Tennessee to the National Republican Convention. That was a strange statement that one of the afternoon papers credited to the City Judge. The reporter made the judge say that he fined two men who violated the anti-spit law, because his honor approved of the law. We had always thought that so long as the law was constitutional that the duty of these petty officials was to enforce it whether they approved of it or not. But, then, perhaps it is as we heard a wrothy white individual exclaim this week: "No matter what sort of a reputation you may possess, the word of a policeman is law in the city court." Secretary Taft returns from the Philippine Islands neither an imperialist nor an anti-imperialist, a sort of middle-of-the-roader. Taft always was great as a straddler. His speeches on the Negro Problem, delivered in the South, remind one of the late Mr. McKinley, when that gentleman wanted the presidential nomination and his party had not decided whether it was for the gold standard or the free coinage of silver. Congressman Gaines gets excited about the "vultures" of Wall Street, and wants to destroy them. Why not practice upon those nearer home Say the "night riders" of the dark tobacco patch of Tennessee and Kentucky? Senator Bailey, of Texas, is keeping very quiet these days. When he got mixed with kerosene, if he did not get burnt, he was so badly scorched that he dreads the fire. If "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" this panic has caused an overproduction of paving material. Business must be dull indeed in police circles. The officers have found at last a house where Negro women "raise a rough house" with white men! A Kentuckian bitten by a mad dog died this week in a Chicago hospital. If it had been a snake bite he could have cured it himself. COMMUNICATIONS. Mission of a Newspaper. What is a newspaper? It is a sheet of paper printed and distributed, at short intervals, for conveying intelligence of passing events; or, in other words, its legitimate and recognized mission is to gather and chronicle the doings and happenings of the times with a view of giving the public trustworthy and intelligent information. Every newspaper has its sphere of influence, and, within that sphere, it must perform its task and perform it well or acknowledge its inability to do so by stepping down and out of the business. It must have a definite policy backed up by vigor, fairness, accuracy and courage or it will fail in its high missio not making and shaping sentiment. A newspaper is a great educative force, if it is deserving of its name, for its purpose is to inform the public intelligently on matters and measures and policies, both those in existence and those in contemplation, which affect it or are likely to affect it. It should deal honestly, yet fearlessly, with whatever menaces the welfare of the people. It should champion the side of the weak and oppressed when the rights of such are being jeopardized. It should train its guns against fortified wrong, even though it were a king persecuting such wrong Its specific province is to build up healthy public sentiment against wrong-doing whether it be in high or low places. It should keep its lower as well as its upper lights burning that all who come within the radius of such light may see 'things as they are and not as they seem. If it fails in these essential things, then it fails in true usefulness and in the great purpose for which it came into existence. If it fails to rise up to the needs of the times, if it fails to record the news of the times, if it fails to interpret the signs of the times; if it fails to give proper warning and advice, then it fails in subserving the best interest of its constituency, the people, and, therefore, ought to fail. A newspaper is the mirror of the times; for instance, if a train runs, over and kills Mr. A, is it not proper to record such a fact as news? If a burglar enters a home and robs it should not such robbery be reported as news? If Ham Japheth thrashes Japheth Ham or Tom Jones beats un John Smith, wouldn't these be news items to which the reading constituency of a paper is entitled? If a newspaper lives, it must perform its work acceptably; it must gather current news material; it must study the taste of its readers, or it will lose their interest and their support. If there are any persons who desire to escape publicity, they should see to it that their acts do not become public property. The argus-eyed hunters of news appropriate whatever they think will be of interest to the patrons of their paper. They are paid for their service and are expected to contribute their quota of matter. They are expected to give only facts in recounting any event. The Mission of the Negro newspaper should be to espouse the cause of its people in an intelligent, broad and conscientious way. It should stand bravely by its guns and continue to do battle for the rights of its people. There should be no compromising, no vacillation, no indecision when facing a plain and obvious duty. A paper that wabbles and squirms and hides and cloaks is little else than worthless. If it would create prestige, it must, from the heights of its exalted position, as defender of the people's rights, speak out in a manful, fearless tone. If there are any who would crook the supple hinges of their knees where favor follows fawning, they are at liberty to pursue the bent of their inclination. But the majority of the people no longer submit tamely to every indignity and murmur not; and the paper that avers its espousal of the people's cause must hew to the line, or it will go to the wall. JADECEE Power of Suggestion. To the thoughtful readers as well as the close observer of things, come the idea and the notion that most of the achievements and advancements of mankind are due very largely to suggestion coming from some source. This is so nearly exclusively true that there are but a few things original in the best sense of the word. The great mind of the discoverer of this the Western world was touched and initiated to suggestive activity by perusing the journals of Palestrolo, his father-in-law, and celebrated Portuguese Navigator.

Manv ideas and customs of England may be traceable to ancient Germany or the Saxons. England in return has furnished this country the basis of its government. The power of suggestion underlies most all reformatory movements of to-day. The various reformatory movements in this government are traceable to some suggestive source; whether it be an effort at legislative restrictions upon corporate wealth, or governmental ownership of railroads, etc. No reader or reasonable thinker can hardly doubt or criticise the authenticity of the influence of suggestion; and this will continue true so long as the human mind is susceptible or subject to convictions. While this is a fact, yet it cannot be denied but that many beneficial enterprises and accomplishments have resulted therefrom. There are few things to which we may justly feel more in debt, both for useful information and useful institutions than the power of suggestion. It has proved to be one of the lines over which improvements travel. The reading of good books or literature and social contact are among the most prolific sources of these inciting impressions. In a few instances these intimations have been so very unique in their character as to be regarded by many as an idealism or impracticable. This probably can be accounted for by it being in advance of the time in which we live or differing widely from ordinary occurrences. From this cause many useful experiments have been discouraged beyond measure, and inventors pronounced crazy. But as time moves onward the day dawns when these once denied suggestions meet with more popular approval, the interest of mankind is advanced, civilization is promoted, and some one is called great. Yes, we are living, we are dwelling In a great and awful time; In an age on others telling BISHOP PHILLIPS HOME FROM TEXAS. After spending several weeks in Texas, where he held several conferences, Bishop C. H. Phillips is at home. The bishop reports having had a successful trip to the Lone Star State. The conference held at Palestine, Texas, was especially interesting on account of the large attendance and general interest created in the meeting by the citizens of Palestine and Anderson County. This city is only a short distance from Tyler, Tex., where the Texas College is located, which is the school of the C. M. E. Church in the State, for which the bishop's educational rally some time ago resulted in such a success. Owing to the proximity to this big college, the attendance was large and the results will be soon seen in that locality. The C. M. E. connection has had a church at that place for nearly twenty years. It was established while Rev. R. H. Boyd was pastoring in Palestine. Bishop Phillips stated to a Globe reporter that he had the pleasure of seeing the church built by Dr. Boyd, as well as his old home place. MURRAY-BAUGH: Miss Julia Baugh and Mr. G. B.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1907. MORAL EFFECT OF FoonTRal: we do at Yale is talk athletics,” saic Walter Camp the other day. “That is not so. At this. petiod of the year you might wander over the campu: and visit the students in their room: all day, and you wouldn’t hear foot ball or any other topic of sport men tioned. However, I for one at Yale think there are good reasons for try ing to succeed at what one undertakes and I don't Know but what the sys. tem that has brought us a certain de- gree of success, in football at any rate; has resulted in our worrying less and giving less thought to football than is the case at some other institutions. Who shall be capiain and who shall be head coach for next season are not matters which are giving Yale men any great concern, for they have come to know that those questions are so managed here that whatever is done about them wil] be the result of a sys- tem that has been successful. “We think success in football is Worth striving for, because it teaches ‘men that if they are to accomplish what they set about to ‘do they must do so by work and submission to dis- cipline. That is a good lesson to teach a man. Furthermore, the moral tone of college men has improved a great deal in recent years, and in this the successful athelete has done his share. Drinking, dissipation, is’ not good form for college men nowadays—time was when not much was thought of it. Take such men as Tad Jones, a leader among his fellows and who leads an upright life. Other students imitate his habits, and such imitation, unconscious, perhaps, does them a world of good. “The man who goes in for athletics soon finds that he must go according to a schedule if he is to keep up and make the most of his time. When the moment comes for study he has no time to Jean on window sills and talk with his fellows. He must get right down to his books, must apply himself during his study hours. He quickly learns that he must systematize his hours for sport and study, and habits of regularity and order soon come to him. “Football appeals to the best people That is evident when one sees the size of the crowds and the people compos- ing them, It is,a game of strategy, skill and brains, and it appeals to cul- tured and intelligent people who ap- preciate what qualities it represents, In New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other places where there is cul: ture and refinement football is very popular. It draws respectable, think. ing people and many of them, “Another thing about football, it de- mands courage to stick to your plans and not beeome flurried or demoral- ized when your plans go wrong tem- porarily. There is the courageous de- fence, for example. It may seem to be wrong and to be giving way, and it requires courage at such a time to stick to it and give it a chance to prove itself. * The temptation at such times is strong to forsake your plan, to try hurriedly to check the opponent by some other method. Sometimes your plans are wrong and you lose, but if your opponent scores on you ai least you learn that you have planned Wrong, and besides you'll be scored on still oftener if in a moment of panic you do not stick to what you have, are hurried into a mistrust of and failure to hold to your plans. A sud- den wavering of that sort on the one yard line will result more disastrously than sticking to and having faith in o. iginal plans. “So far as learning the lesson from one contest is concerned I have found that that must begin at once. It doesn't do to wait to draw the conclu- sions furnished by actual contest on the field. The time to learn your les sons so that you may profit. by what they teach is while you still have a clear picture of the game. A week after you'll find your recollections are getting hazy. It won't be quite clear in your mind whether a certain player stood four feet or six feet away, and you must know positively about these points. “Tam a believer in the freshman rule; it has been a good measure, but in one way it has increased the difi- culty of developing ’varsity material. The best school for developing varsity material is the second team, with its the welfare of the game at heart agree with him. The 1907 forward pass reg- ulations made too much of luck and too little of skill. As to wanting to close up the game, such a statement is absurd, because, if for no other rea- son, Camp fathered the 10 yard rule. But if the Yale adviser took occasion to deny all the foolish football charges laid to his door he wouldn't haye time te attend to his clock business.—New York Sun. ae GREAT CISTERNS OF HOT WATER, Natural Curiosity on tne Plain Near Heber City, Utah, Of ever increasing interest to nat- ural curiosity seekers are the Hot Pots, about three miles from Heber City, Utah. This region is a level plain, upon the surface of which arise in strange con- fusion numbers of conical shaped cis- terns, the largest of them being all of 50 feet in height, 100 feet in diameter at the top and twice that at the base and containing in their dark depths immense volumes of water heated to a high temperature in the furnaces of the earth. The waters contain the usual chemical properties of thermal springs and are used for bathing and drinking. These pots evidently have been formed by the slow deposition through countless centuries of the silica and soda which enter into the composition of the waters. They grow in height steadily with years and present a most interesting spectacle of nature's strange creative methods. The Hot Pots are found in the midst of culti- vated fields and thriving orchards, not- withstanding the peculiar rock-like soil composition. One%f the marked peculiarities of the region is the hollow rumbling sound caused by carriages and horses as they move over the roadways for miles around. “Is there an enormous cayern just below the surface, and will it "ever cave in?” is the anxious in- quiry of every visitor alarmed at the strange underground sounds.—From the Kansas City Star. MURDEROUS ASSAULT, Dr. Rob a practicing physician whe ig part owner of a drug store on Kayne avenue, was murderously as: saulted while on his way home last Tuesday night, by several policemen. The police, it is alleged, accosted Dr. Rob, applying a dirty epithet, want ing to know where he was going. The doctor walked on not paying at: tention, when the officers came closer ind applied another epithet, wanting to know why he had not stopped when they first spoke, Dr, Rob then asked. ‘Are you speaking to me, Mr. Cop?” This So incensed the officers that they began using their clubs upon him, He was beaten until he became um conscious and was then put in the »atrol wagon and carried to the hos: pital. In the City Court Dr. Rob was fined 310, hardly being permittee (o state his side of the affair. The City Judge t is said, told the Doctor that if he ‘alked he would make his fine more.

Milton Easterling, of Chattanooga, the Grand Lecturer of the Knights of Pythias, will begin his annual tour of the state, visiting the various subordinate lodges in the different cities, on January 6, 1908, at which time he will speak at Orme. He will be in Nashville on the 26th of February. On the several other occasions that Captain Easterling has been in the city, he has met with a very enthusiastic reception from his Pythian brethren, and the present occasion will scarcely prove an exception. His lectures have also been instructive as well as entertaining. So popular, in fact, has he proven with the members of the Order that at the recent Grand Lodge session he was reelected by acclamation. 1882-1907—MOORE-SHEPHERD. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. George W. Moore was celebrated Friday, December 20th, at their residence, 926 Seventeenth avenue, North. They did not have a formal celebration, but they received the congratulations of a large number of friends at home and abroad and were the recipients of many tokens of esteem. Among the pleasant surprises was a beautiful set of silver from the faculty and teachers of Fisk University and their neighbors. They also received a number of beautiful presents from friends in the city and various parts of the country and a large number of letters of congratulations. They were married at the home of Prof. Geo. L. White, the leader of the original Jubilee Singers, and the following announcement of the marriage was sent out: MARRIAGE CEREMONY Wednesday Evening, December 20, 1882 At the Residence of Mr. Geo. L. White, Of Fisk University Jubilee Singers. At home after Jan. 1, 1883, Oberlin, Ohio. Mr. Moore was at that time a senior in the Theological Seminary of Oberlin, and Mrs. Moore, nee Ella Sheppard, had just completed eleven years of service with the original Jubilee Singers of Fisk University. As a member of this company she traveled five years in Europe and six years in America. She has sung before Queen Victoria and many of the crowned heads of Europe, and has been entertained in the homes of Gladstone and many distinguished people in Europe and America. She has been active in missionary and church work and has been President of the Women's Missionary Union of the Tennessee Association of Congregational churches for the past twelve years. Mr. Moore was the first pastor of Howard Congregational Church, of this city. It was organized under his ministry when he was a student of Fisk University. He was pastor of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Washington, D. C., from 1883 to 1892. During this pastorate he was active in missionary, evangelistic, charitable, temperance and Y. M. C. A. work. He led a successful crusade against the thirtieth saloons in "Hell's Bottom," the location of the church, making it one of the best residence sections of the District of Columbia. He was for five years Professor of Biblical History and Literature in the Theological Department of Howard University. In 1889 he traveled extensively through Great Britain and Continental Europe. As a delegate to the World's Sunday School Convention, he delivered an address in City Temple, London, on the "Colored Sunday School Work of the United States." He has been a delegate and speaker at international gatherings of the Y. M. C. A., Christian Endeavor, Student Volunteers and National Council. In 1892 he was appointed Field Missionary and Superintendent of the Southern church work of the American Missionary Association, this being the sixteenth year of his field service. He is a trustee of Fisk University and has been active in the work of educating the race. He has held evangelistic services in most of the churches of his denomination and in the schools of the South and has extended his labors among the churches and schools of other denominations. He has done effective service among the churches of the North in raising funds to carry on the work in the South. Three children have brightened the home of Rev. and Mrs. Moore—two boys, George Sheppard and Clinton Fisk Russell and one daughter, Sarah Elizabeth. Elizabeth Benton Moore, their niece, is a teacher of cooking in the colored public schools of the city. Their son, George Sheppard Moore, is a graduate of the College Class of Fisk University, 1906, and is in his second year of study in Northwestern University, Medical School, Chicago. A unique feature of the family gathering was the presence of Mrs. Moore's mother, Mrs. Sarah H. Sheppard, now in her eighty-first year, and Mrs. Cornelia Rohelia, Mrs. Moore's step-mother. The Globe extends to these beloved citizens and Christian workers its hearty congratulations and best wishes on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and wishes them many more years of happiness and service. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY. Walden University and Meharry Medical College will celebrate Emancipation Day on January 1, at 10 o'clock a.m. Preparations have been made for an interesting program, consisting of appropriate vocal and instrumental music by the Walden Choral Club and the Meharry Quartette, and orations by representatives of the various departments of the college, Law, Theology, Pharmacy, Liberal Arts, Dentistry, and Medicine. This occasion from year to year has been one of unusual interest and profit and is largely attended by the friends of the colleges. COLUMBIA NOTES.

(Newark, N. J., News.) “We want to know about the Negro in New York; what kind of work does he engage in, and how much does he suffer from discrimination?” This is a question frequently asked me, and my interlocutors start, I be- eve, with erroneous preconceptions ‘on the subject. I find it difficult to give a complete answer, I can only, make a beginning. More than half of the hundred thou- sand Negroes in Greater New York came to us from the Southern States. ‘Among the men, large numbers are popularly represenjed as highly skilled workens who on their arrival are ruth- lessly prevented by the labor unions from practicing their trades. It is said that they are forbidden to enter upon work for which they are well fitte?, snd drop into the ranks of un- skilled labor. Now, this is not the case. The num- ber of skilled colored laborers coming to New York from the Southern States is few. Probably in proportion to their numbers we get more skilled men from the West Indies, but from he’h places the total is inconsiderable. The unions do not refuse hundreds of colored carpenters, masons, engi neers; they could not afford to dv so. Of the few who apply to them, a part me adiri/ted into tho organization. Tn 1906 the New York Central Federal Union hat in its membership 135 col red mesons and carpenters, and in the lees skilied trades 870 colored rock drillers. texmsters and asphalt work ers. The recent action of the Joint DPstriet Council of Carpenters in ex tending to all capable colored carpen: ters an invitation to join the local ir their own districts shows tliat there is no wholesale discrimination. A single -Negro may often meet with refusai ‘bnt let the colored men of a trade gel togither and show their strength, a: did the cSlored carpenters (backed ir this case by the Society for improving the Industrial Condition of the Ne gro), and they are likely to win thei) way with organized labor, unless they are unable successfully to practice their trades in the unfamiliar condi tions of a Northern city.

The Italian at tus fruit stand leads a more independent existence han this. In Italy he raised his crops and took them to the village market. the work is dangerous to health and where he learned to do the trading he successfully practices again in his new home. There are the independent colored farmers in the South who might. beat him in marketing their orodnee, but these are not the Negroes who immigrate to New York. A great deal of severe manual labor is re-formed by the New York colored nan who dizs in the tunnels, where ‘ife? arts as longshoreman, or as nor- ter in the store or factory, There is a noti‘rable decrease of men entering do- nestic service, and a turning to severe hut virile tasks in factory at { shop. ‘In these latter positions hours {re def- ‘nite ond the home life, made possible hy chane of occupation, is ai gain, A small professional class somes to us from the South. It is made up of men and women trained usually in the schoo's of higher education suyported by Northern philanthropy. This class settl’s in Now York and nerforms very ereditable work. Among them are lawyers, ravsicians, teachers, minis ters of more than usual ability, who take a respected plate ia the munici- pality and who reveal the possibiliiies of the race. But the Negro immigrants from the South are only a part of the city’s pov- ulation, What of those who are born and educated in New York? Where are they working and how great are their chances of success? Until the age of fourteen they study with persis- tence and sometimes with enthusiasm, and then they see the world beginning them out. They start: to earn their living. The public school has fitted them for no special vocation unless it ‘ye a commercial one, and they are de barred from clerical positions in whole- sale and ret#il establishments and in factories.
