ASHVILLE CITIZENS PROUD OF THEIR DISTINGUISHED CHURCHMAN-HAS RISEN FROM SLAVE FARM BOY TO AN ENVIABLE NATIONAL PROMINENCE-MANY HARD BATTLES FOUGHT WITH POVERTY-WILL DELIVER TWO LECTURES IN NASHVILLE BEFORE LEAVING FOR VIRGINIA. In May this year the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in Norfolk, Va. Between one and two thousand delegates will be in attendance,ides many others who will go out of sure curiosity, or to foster some aim, the case as it may, it means that notably over two thousand visitors will be in the historic Virginia city to be cared for about three weeks. The Committee appointed to look for this feature of the meeting in place have been hard at work for several months, but they find themselves handicapped to a degree, owing to the financial depression now prevalent in the country. At a recent meeting this committee decided upon a plan that they feel confident will serve to lessen their greatest embarrassment in the progress of completing their arrangements. A series of lectures has been planned for Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. and after carefully considering a whole field of brainy men in the M. E. Church, the Committee unnobly decided upon Bishop Evans tree to deliver the entire series of titles. He is a remarkable man in any respects. Was born a slave in Dekalb County, Tennessee, in the year 1854. At the close of the War so great was his desire for freedom he left his owners at early age of eleven years. In the ir 1866 he became a Christian, and met the Methodist Church. In 1869 he received license to preach, ring this time and the year of 1870, was employed on the farm of a ored man, and having a great love for books, and especially the Bible, he would sit out on a scaffold at night that was used for drying fruit in the R) and read the large printed Bible; fact when told was often disputed the older people, but it was soon met that he had read the first five of the Old Testament. Bishop Tyree joined the A. M. E. conference in 1872, at the age of eighen; was ordained deacon by Bishoprown in 1874, and Elder by Bishop Jayman in 1876. He was always studious, and kept at his books, teaching school part of his time, but did not enter school permanently until he was in his twenty-second year, when he began studying under Prof. J. H. Kelly, at Columbia, Tenn. Here he spent the major part of two years, often going a long distance in the night when it was bitter cold to recite his lessons. In the fall of 1877, he entered Central Tennessee College (now Walden University), in Nashville, Tenn., and together six years there, graded from Theological depart- t in 1883. He afterwards spent year studying medicine at Meharden Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., day war, the course in Louisville, 1894. The degree of D. D. was dawn upon him by Livingston Col- lumnop Tyree served in the pastor- ated from 1872 to 1900, having spent twelve years of that time as pastor of different churches in Nashville, Tenn., namely, Salem Chapel, two years; Payne Chapel, four years; St. Paul, NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1908. RT. REV. EVANS TYREE, D. D., LL. D., M. D. four years, and St. John, two years. He was Presiding Elder one year. As a pastor, he was firm in manner, but gentle, always demanding the respect of his congregation, and ruling with love and kindness. Financially, he was always successful at whatever charge he held. Since his election to the Bishopric in 1900, his financial success has been almost phenomenal. During the first Quadrennial over $77,000 were raised in his diocese which consisted of Arkansas and Mississippi, and his last Quadrennial promises to be even better than the first. During the years 1902-1904, under the administration and supervision of Bishop Tyree, the educational institutions operated in his diocese by his church received new impetus. A girl's dormitory was erected at Shorter University, Little Rock, Ark., and another at Campbell College, Jackson, Miss. They are both handsome three-story brick structures. But the climax was reached Sept. 24, 1907, when he succeeded in raising nearly $11,000 for Paul Quinn College at Waco, Texas. Bishop Tyree owns some valuable property in Nashville, Tenn., and, his residence is one of the handsomest in the city. It is a three-story brick structure, beautifully situated on N. Hill street, and fitted up with all the modern conveniences. When quite a young man one of the Bishop's greatest desires was to own a home, but the thing that infused within him the determination to have a good home, was a remark made to him by a white agent many years ago, whom he went to see concerning a comfortable house for his family. The white man drew himself up and indignantly remarked, "We don't rent that kind of property to niggers." Bishop Tyree has ever since thanked that man for that remark, which only gave him new inspiration and a determination to own a comfortable home. Bishop Tyree will deliver two lectures in his home city before leaving for Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. One of these lectures will be delivered at St. John A. M. E. Church, probably the 20th or 27th of January, and the last is to be delivered at Mt. Olive Baptist Church early in February. The people of Nashville are always glad when they have an opportunity to hear this gifted orator and scholar. ANNUAL RECEPTION BY MARE CHAL NIEL CLUB.

SHOWS NEGRO YOUTH GET UNFAIR TREATMENT. MORREL EDUCATIONAL FUND FOR ALL RACES—LAW PROVIDES FOR SEPARATION OF AP PROPRIATION IN STATES WITH SEPARATE SCHOOLS FOR RACES TENNESSEE SHOWN UP IN BAD LIGHT—NOT ENTITLED TO PEABODY FUND UNDER PRESENT ARRANGEMENT. The continuous and vigorous efforts that were instituted by the special committee last year to investigate the part played by the State of Tennessee, so far as its support to state schools for the Negro youth, which does not include the regular city and county schools, are being made and develop some very interesting facts. The presidents of such schools as Howe Institute at Memphis, Nelson Merry College at Jefferson City, Turner Normal and Industrial School at Shelbyville, Lane College at Jackson, Knoxville College at Knoxville, Roger Williams University, Walden University and Fisk University of Nashville, all declare to this special committee that they have received nothing whatever in the way of funds from the state; that none of the Morrell fund is distributed among them, and that up to last term it had been three years since any of them enjoyed a scholarship paid for by the State of Tennessee. Notwithstanding this fact is true, it proves that the state made large appropriations to Peabody College in an effort to capture the Peabody fund, which is understood to have been left to the deserving youth of the South, regardless of race or color. Then the extra appropriation for the support of a normal school in West Tennessee adds more seriousness, in the form of neglect to Negro schools, to the situation. While a bill was introduced and passed in the last legislature to hand out a few scholarships, this was done after the new superintendent of education had been shown the seeming neglect on the part of the state in not lending some assistance to other schools. The Negro taxpayers of Tennessee will register a very strong protest against the effort now on foot to give all of the Peabody Fund to Peabody College, on the grounds that the school discriminates against races and that if the money goes to this institution, there will be no school supported in whole or in part by the state where the Negro student has (the advantage of getting a technical training for teachers) or where he can get assistance from the state in agricultural and mechanical arts. The findings of the investigating committee that was looking into conditions, show that some of the highest officials in the state and some of the men who are supposed to be well informed, know absolutely nothing about what the State of Tennessee is doing for the Negro youth. One of the officials stated last year that scholarships were presented to a certain school (white), which to his understanding were transferred to a colored school. It developed, after the investigation, that no appropriation whatever was made and that no transfers from the white school to a colored school, on the part of the state fund or for funds received by the state, were made. One school in the state is receiving a part of the second Morrell fund through the courtesy of the University of Tennessee. This brings to mind the fact that a large appropriation was made by the last legislature for the COMMUNION SETS.

We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels. Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices.

Last Wednesday evening, January 1, in the reception rooms of the Odd Fellow's Hall, Fourth avenue, North, the last annual banquet of the Young Men's Club, of Meharry Medical College, was given and was pronounced by all present to be an epoch-making event. Probably the first guest of the evening arrived about 8:30, and by 9:30 o'clock the entire one hundred and more had filled the hall, which was beautifully decorated in the colors of the cub—old gold, crimson and black. Four large New Year's bells, hung in the corners, around and about which were mistletoe and evergreens. Upon the wall behind the table upon the platform, where rested the evening's menu, the inscription "Young Men's Club" hung in glaring letters of crimson and black. Around the hall the names of Messrs. C. H. Phillips, President; J. C. Dickerson, Vice resident; P. I. Harold, Secretary; O. C. Clayborne, Treasurer; W. C. Kyle, Club Physician; E. McIntosh, Roderick Johnson, J. H. Stevenson, G. H. Moores, Robert Green, O. W. Brown, E. A. Harris, O. N. Goings, Jno. M. Bowden, officers and members of the Club, were distributed and artistically decorated. The flowers, bunting, etc., here and there, together with the other decorations, gave the hall an appearance of unusual beauty. The guests of the evening were probably the most representative ever gathered here; among them were Miss Marshall, Boston, Mass.; Miss Lewis, Washington, D. C.; Miss Dawson, Cleveland, O.; Miss M. Booze, Mound Bayon, Miss.; Miss Bailey, Philadelphia, Pa.; Miss Raveenah, Cleveland, O.; Miss M. Hadley, Florence, Ala. Dr. and Mrs. Levy, of Charleston, S. C., Mr. and Mrs. Wayman Crutcher, of Chicago; Dr. C. S. Dunston, of North Carolina, and Miss V. L. Moore, of Tennessee, were the chaperons. All of these people have been visiting Nashville during the holidays. Space will not permit the publication of all the guests of the city, since over a hundred were present. Suffice it to say that they came from, most every home and family of prominence in Nashville. The supper, consisting of turkey, oysters on toast, cocoa, etc., in five courses, was gracefully managed by Prof. Dock Liner, the catere. The Nashville Orchestra furnished the evening's music. Every gentleman in the hall was attired in conventional evening dress, with one white rose upon the left coat lapel. The ladies on the other hand were elegantly dressed in evening gowns of silk, satin, etc. Costly laces and attractive jewelry adorned many of the gowns nearly all of which were specially made, being of all colors. The sight that both the ladies and gentlemen presented was most imposing and grand. The whole affair, unprecedented in character, passed off nicely, and it is now numbered with the things of the past. The banquet was the last effort of this club, which has for four years given one each school term. All of the officers and nearly every member will graduate in March, and with their passing, Nashville will lose a club of much popularity and influence. DELIGHTFUL DINNER. A delightful dinner was given recently at the residence of Miss Matilda Lewis, No. 95 Maple street. The house was beautifully decorated. The following tempting menu was served: Pickle. Sweet Potatoes. Cake. Wine. Fruits. Egg Nog. Black Coffee. Those present were Revs. J. C. Harding, I. S. Davis, G. B. Bolton, Cotton, Mr. and Mrs. Stubblefield, Mrs. Ella Rucker, Miss V. Sheffied, Miss Leanna Coleman, Mr. Albert Cartwidge, Mr. Henry Jones, Miss Lula Eldridge, Mr. Arch Roney and Miss Matilda and Susie Lewis. FISK CLUB OF CHICAGO. What proved to be the most elaborate and successful affair of the season was the first anniversary dinner given New Year's by the Excelsior Club of Chicago, at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Porterfield, 3228 Wabash avenue. The spacious parlor and drawing rooms were beautifully arranged and decorated with ferns, cut roses and carnations, harmonizing with the color-scheme of the dining room. The table, which was tastefully arranged for a menu of seven courses had for its centerpiece a large cut glass vase holding a great cluster of white carnations and narcissus. The menu consisted of New Asparagus. French Dressing. Ice Cream. Salted Almonds. Mint Patties. The toastmaster, Mr. Irvin C. Miller, gave the origin of the club, which mental solo, which concluded the program. Among those present besides the members were Mrs. Dr. Springs, Miss Alice Young, Miss Ethel Spence, Miss Essie Arnold, Miss Louie Moss, Miss Gladys Edwards. Members, Messrs. Irwin C. Miller, President; A. W. Springs, M. D., Secretary and Treasurer; C. B. Holmes, A. A. Marquess, H. C. Bryant, A. C. Brock, H. C. Merry, A. C. Brown, and William Clark. is composed of nine young men, who have completed the college course of Fisk University; Mr. Henry R. Meryn spoke in behalf of "Fisk;" Mr. C. B. Holmes, "Our Mother;" Mr. Henry C. Bryant, "What this Means;" Dr. A. W. Springs, "The Ladies." Mr. Alonzo S. Brock rendered an instru INVESTIGATIONS OF COMMITTEE. (Continued from Page 1.) (Continued from Page 1.1) University of Tennessee. Hence these three acts of the last Tennessee legislature in making special appropriations for established schools for the whites, and a failure to do anything for the established Negro institutions, looks to the committee like neglect and discrimination in its worse form by the state. The committee has not made a report in full, as it will now look into the fifty or sixty scholarships voted by the last legislature, which are to be divided among the leading schools of the race. It is leaking out that some of this neglect and these failures to provide properly will be used in the coming campaign. To what advantage, will be awaited with eagerness on the part of the people. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. A delightful social event occurred last Thursday night under the auspices of Mr. and Mrs. Davis. The double parlors were decorated with holly, mistletoe and ferns. A beautifully arranged supper was served in which the color scheme of green and red was carried out. Those present were Misses Alice and Lillie Buchanan, Ethel Allen, Ellie Brown, Maud Brookens, Annie Lee Thompson, Messrs. Stanley Davis, Sam Davis, James Cannon, Joe Claybon, H. Knott, C. B. Johnson and O. M. Reynolds, of Meharry Medical College. Dancing and games were the features of the evening. COLUMBIA NOTES Mr. Earley Williams and Miss Mabel Reedy were quietly married January 1, at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. Anna Williams, Glade street. Mr. Pete Stevens, of Nashville, is visiting his mother on Frierson street. Mrs. Eva Pillow will leave for her home in St. Louis this week, having spent several weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mat. Gordon. Miss Maggie E. Kelly spent Friday and Saturday last with Miss Daisy Watkins, of Mt. Pleasant. Miss Kelly was the honoree of a surprise social at the home of Miss Watkins. There were also present the Misses Blanchards and brother, of Mississippi. Mrs. Hannah Brown, of Frierson street, is very sick. Mrs. Lizzie Miller, who met with the sad accident of getting badly burned, is improving slowly. The members of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. S. L. Howard, is pastor, are holding cottage prayer meetings preparatory for a protracted meeting. Dr. Lynch, of Nashville, has opened a branch office here to practice dentistry. MASON NOTES. The cotton boom is about subsided, though not until the farmers had filled their purses. Mason is noted for its fine cotton market. The majority of the farmers around Mason are colored. And they own their farms which range from one hundred to five hundred acres. The Tipton Countians are breadwinners and home makers. The Rev. J. H. Thompson, pastor of Alexander Chapel M. E. Church, who has been visiting his mother in Hartsville, has returned. He filled his pulpit Sunday morning and evening. Quite a number of the Braden folks attended services at the M. E. Church last Sunday morning. The Mason Academy opened with a large enrollment Monday. Prof. W. T. Rickman, Principal; Mrs. A. H. Steward and J. W. Bovd, assistants. Misses Ninie and Esterlee Fields, who have been attending school at Walden University, were called home because of the illness of their mother, Mrs. B. P. Fields. Misses Willie A. Stevens and her two sisters, Eleanor and Blanche, opened their school Monday, the latter returning from Holly Springs, Miss., where she has been attending one of the C. M. E. schools. Walter Fields, who has been making his home here, will make his future home in Nashville. Mason can boast of one thing that but few towns South of the Mason & Dixon line can say, that is, the best of feeling exists between the two races. Mrs. J. M. Moody, wife of Rev. J. M. Moody, is visiting relatives in Columbia, Miss. Mrs. Carrie Bonner is on the sick list this week. Miss Josie Stevens is visiting her sister in Forest City, Ark. Mrs. Carrie Pinkston, of Memphis, spent a few days with her sister, Mrs. F. H. Alexander. Hon. J. W. Boyd and Prof. W. T. Rickman made a flying trip to Covington last week. Misses Lizzie Marbry and Rachel Littlejohn were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Alexander Sunday. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES. Rev. Simon Crutcher, a return missionary from South Africa, delivered an interesting address to the J. P. M. F. Missionary Society Monday evening, December 30. Rev. Mr. Crutcher is a spirit-filled man and has had many experiences as a missionary. He spoke of the great power in prayer and the suffering of the missionaries on the foreign fields. An unusual large number was present and all enjoyed the message. Wednesday being New Year's day, also the time for our weekly prayer meeting, a large crowd was present and enjoyed the lessons taught by Rev. W. D. McIntosh. Monday, January 13.—Each member of the Workers' Conference and all who are interested in missionary work are cordially invited to be present. Since this is the beginning of the year, we want to elect officers and get the work before us. The subject for discussion will be "Personal Christian Work," lead by Miss M. Coleman. Each member is requested to be on time promptly at 10 o'clock. CLARKSVILLE NOTES A Cincinnati firm has placed one of its latest heating furnaces in the base of St. Peters A. M. E. Church. Services are now held in comfort. During the holidays a body of men sailing under the name "Do Rights" held a convention in the city. From the appearance of their long coats and faces, they must have been of the chosen set. The cantata, "Rebecca," was given a capable rendition last Tuesday night at the Wesley Chapel C. M. E Church. The version given was arranged in several acts and the cast and chorus presenting it deserve credit for the commendable work. Mrs. M. E. Coleman had the role of Rebecca and displayed dramatic ability in a pleasing voice. A minstrel show was in town last week and it is needless to say that the sons and daughters of Ham were much in evidence, filling the allotted space in the gallery to overflowing. The downstairs audience was small indeed. The Maple Leaf Social Club, composed of the eligible young women of Clarksville, in the spirit of the fleeting holidays, gave a social last Friday night at Buck's Hall. To give the affair a tinge and a suggestive hint, a married couple here and there was present to lend prominence to same. At Dr. Williams' office on Third street, which is also the business abode of the latest addition to the marriage slate, the jolly crowd marched to the hall in the following order, maintaining strictly the idea of Leap Year: Misses Lula Dixon, Nannie Smith, Carrie Ballard, Lillie Heesee, Jessie Sayers, Rosa Heesee, Bessie Harris and Nina Harris, then came Maude Smith Bessie Hamilton, Bessie Buckner, Laura McKeage, Augeline Parrish and the other host too numerous to mention. The men and boys were there also. Prohibition that does not prohibit is the situation in this place in regards to the liquor traffic. Clarksville has been since July 1, a dry place, so far as licensed places go, but being so near the Kentucky line, a constant procession of wet goods can be seen any day from the express office. During the Christmas holidays an average of 500 jugs of corn juice came to this place making a daily outlay of some $1,200.00. Mr. Sam Steele, the popular mall carrier, so the reports have it, has become a benedict, taking Miss Annie Roberts for his bride last Wednesday evening. Dr. Jenkins, of Memphis, was in the city during the holidays. Prof. R. L. Yancey, of Evansville, Ind., spent the holidays in the city. Mr. Theo. Barksdale, of Louisville, spent several days with his grandmother, Mrs. Jane Barksdale. Rev. Mr. Bigbee, of Elkton, Ky., was in the city New Year's Day. Mrs. Joe H. Thompkins spent the holidays the guest of Mrs. Burns at Guthrie, Ky. Mr. Lewis Boyd returned from Erin, January 1, 1908. Miss Willa Keeesee, of Chicago, Ill., is visiting parents. Mr. William Buckner, Chas. Lynch and Ed. Summers, of Hopkinsville, spent a few days in the city. Mrs. Anna Stall Ratcliffe, of Cincinnati, is in the city. Miss Kate Taylor and sister returned to Chicago last Tuesday. Mrs. Evaline Radford left for Nashville Saturday.

THE DOOR OF HOPE. Senator Johnson, of Alabama, in his recent address at Boston, is reported to have said that the Negro complains too much about the door of hope and of opportunity being closed upon the race. That if the door was closed upon a white man he would proceed to unlock it or break it down. This is exactly what the Negro is doing and it is one of the main causes why there is such a disparity between the criminal record of the Negro and white man as was shown by Mr. Johnson. When a man attempts to unlock a door or break in where those on the inside think he has no right to come he is labe to meet resistance. The Negro complains it is true, but his complaint is no more insistent than is that of others. William Jennings Bryan, for example, has been complaining for many years and for what? For the same purpose that the Negro complains, that is, to create sentiment for the amelioration of evils as each sees them. In the meantime, while the Negro is complaining he is going forward buying homes, opening new business enterprises, decreasing his illiteracy and advancing in most every walk of life at a rate that will compare very favorably with that of any other race in America. LYNCHINGS FOR 1907. Lynching statistics for 1907 show a gratifying decrease in the number of persons who have met death during the year from this form of lawlessness. The record, which is doubtless incomplete, shows there were forty-two victims. Of these thirty-eight were Negroes and four white. Three of the former being females. Lynchings were most numerous in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana. Farther North there were lynchings in Maryland, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. Mississippi, which held the lead in 1906, gave way to Louisiana in which state nine persons, all colored, met death by mob violence. Seven each was the record of Alabama and Mississippi, six in Georgia, and Tennessee, one, that of Will Clifford at Tiptonville, on the 16th of August. Assault, attempted assault, murder, attempted murder, robbery, aiding fugitive, wounding white man and threatening a woman were the alleged crimes for which lynch law was invoked. Murder being the cause in more cases than any other. The year just closed shows, as did those preceding, that lynching is more often resorted to for other crimes than for the one for which it is supposed to be the only specific. NIGHT RIDERS. A state bordering upon anarchy exists in certain portions of Kentucky. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1908. The "night riders," masked men similar to the Ku Klux Klan of former days, are traveling over the tobacco regions of the state leaving death and despilation in their wake. Property to the value of a million dollars or more has been destroyed in the last year. The "night riders," supposed to be members of a farmers' association which was formed to pool the interests of the planters so as to prevent the tobacco trust from forcing prices for leaf tobacco below its real value on an open market where there is competition, have burned the property of the trust, dynamited independent warehouses, scraped the beds of individual planters, raided towns, ordered what class of laborers should be employed and created a state of fear in all the small towns where tobacco is sold. Gov. Willson, the newly installed executive of Kentucky, is vigorous in his denunciation of these lawless bands and has called upon the legislature to act so that they may be suppressed. And they should be suppressed by placing the whole bunch in the penitentiary. Farmers, ordinary laborers or capitalists have the right to combine for their own welfare, and such are frequently to be commended, but when such a combination or the members of a combination violate the laws of the land they should be punished no matter how worthy is their organization. The standing army of the United States is becoming so rapidly depleted as to cause serious concern in the War Department. The Secretary of War, in his annual report, states as the most probable cause of the refusal of new men to enlist and of the soldiers to reinlist when their terms expire, is the low wages paid. Perhaps there is another cause which the Secretary did not care to mention—Brownsville. Men do not usually rush to take jobs in which they may be called upon at any moment to lay down their lives when they know that whether guilty or innocent of crime they may be "dismissed without honor," without trial and branded before the world as midnight assassins. There is little inducement for a man to become a part of our military establishment when he thinks that he might be, like Sergt. Mingo Sanders, who served his country for almost a quarter of a century and made a record that any one would be proud of, kicked out in old age without being accorded the treatment that is due the meanest criminal. Before Mr. Foraker's friends in Ohio became active in his interests, the supporters of Judge Taft were loud in proclaiming that the senior senator from that state would not only be eliminated from the political equation, but that the state would send up a solid delegation for the big Secretary of War as the next republican nominee for President. Things are different now. Erie County, whose County Committee indorsed Taft last year, rescinded its actions this week. Judge Taft will find that capturing the Ohio delegation is quite a different proposition from that of rounding up the Southern delegates whose whole aim is to get next to the federal pie counter. A bill has been introduced in Congress giving the Federal courts power to punish anyone who commits a crime upon an alien. This bill is the result of disturbances in several sections of America where aliens have been killed and the general government was held accountable for their death yet lacked the power to bring the guilty persons to trial. The bill should pass. Since the whole country is held responsible for acts of violence against foreigners in any state, then the Federal courts should have the power to overstep local prejudices and bring the offenders to justice. The press dispatches announce the death in New York City of George Dixon, one of the greatest prize fighters at his weight ever produced by America. Dixon for many years was supreme in his class, met all comers never barring a man on account of his nationality. We are in receipt of the initial issue of The Pythian News, a monthly publication in the interests of the Knights of Pythias. J. Thomas Turner is editor and manager. COMMUNICATION.

I don't have card parties in my home. MRS. S. E. YOUNG. January 6. For Joseph B. Foraker. To The Nashville Globe: To The Nashville Globe: Fellow countrymen, let us awake if there is the least possible chance of our being asleep or indifferent to the political situation that confronts us to-day. It is a situation that demands our most earnest consideration, for it is fraught with the future status of the Negro in the political arena of this country. By what he does from now until the end of the great Republican National Convention which meets at Chicago, Ill., June 16, he will be measured and judged. If he fails to demonstrate his ability to take care of himself in a political way, then his future as a factor in the government is a closed book. If he fails to protect himself by his failure to stand by his known and tried friends, then he will have no one to blame but himself for being considered unworthy of the right of self-government. If he fails to meet the oncoming struggle as befits an intelligent, manly man capable of rising above any sordid consideration to do battle for those who have defended and done battle for him and his, then he is deserving of the contempt which will surely come to him for his lack of gratitude and appreciation of the heroic service rendered him in his darkest hour of helplessness. It is here intended to sound a note of warning to put the Negro on his guard against the machinations which are being brewed in the Republican political and nomination pot to knife the one man who had the courage to defend the Negro soldiers against the gross injustice perpetrated upon them by a powerful administration. That man is Senator Joseph B. Foraker. He it was, so to speak, who bearded the lion in his den. Concerning the Presidential nominee of the Republican party this year there is much speculation. There is no political seer in possession of enough data from which to forecast with anything like certainty the outcome of the strenuous struggle that will be made from now on till the convention shall have decided who is winner of the coveted honor of being the standard-bearer of the party for the highest office in the gift of the American people. One thing, though, is certain and that is the party has several able men who are longing to lead the Republican forces in November. In the imagination, each one of the aspirants for the nomination sees himself in the White House, the seat of the world's mightiest and most powerful ruler. To be President of these United States and its lately acquired insular possessions, is not only the greatest honor, but the most responsible position that can be conferred upon any man upon the earth; therefore, such a man should be the embodiment of the highest statesmanship. He should rise above petty animosities, narrowness and racial prejudice. His stock in all of these should not equal, much less exceed his patriotism. He should not countenance any form of tyranny. He should set over against injustice and oppression justice and protection. He should see to it that the "Door of Hope" is kept open and a "square deal" is given to all classes of American citizens as far as this within his power lies. As the sworn executor of his country's laws, justice should be meted out alike to all with special privileges to none. He should stand for all that is good and righteous in the conduct of national affairs. In short, he should be a man of the greatest moral courage and his patriotism should embrace the welfare of all the people and should be as broad and extensive as the boundaries of his country. The man who is President, or aspires to be, should be free of bigotry, self-conceit, and, in fact, everything that would tend to cloud his reason, warp his judgment, awaken his prejudice, or distort his just administration of government allike to all the people. The opportune moment has arrived to make a motion that the Negro of the North, the South, the East and the West support a man, pre-eminently fitted by the highest qualities of statesmanship, the loftiest sense of justice and the broadest patriotism for the nomination of the Republican party for the exalted position of President; a man too noble to witness a wrong, that might set a precedent for striking down the liberties of his country in some far off day, without exposing that wrong; a man who knew the price he was likely to be called on to pay for his defense of innocent men, yet moved forward Bee and The Little Gem We wish to say that we are now better prepared to accommodate our patronage, as we have two barber shops.

This being true, surely our general government, or our many governments within a government, can with any honor or dignity boast of a citizenship built in part upon taxation without representation, the very principa upon which America fought England and freed herself from such appression. The black man, who is now the victim of the same oppression by this government, has his hero in the revolution—"Crispus Attuces" was among the first to die to free this country. The race cannot do better than prove to the people of this country that the black man is worthy of the same amount of consideration as a part of American citizenship as all other nationalities; and, above all, the masses of the race must be taught this fact. Our progress has been marvelous along the line of different branches of education, industrial and mechanical. Seventy per cent of our male population, ranging in age from twelve to forty-five years, are bread winners. We own millions of dollars in church and educational property. Our progress along the material line has never been equaled by any other race in the same space of time and under similar circumstances. We hope to continue this growth; but what has been our growth along national and civic lines? Why is it that in communities in which the black man lives he is not considered in the assessment of his N. E.

STRINGER. against the intrenched wrong-doers undaunted; a man whom lovers of fair play everywhere should delight to honor, and that man is Joseph B. Foraker. Senator Foraker stood for the preservers of Col. Roosevelt, though the latter tried most strenuously to saddle upon them a crime to justify his actions toward them. Not to prove them guilty, was to brand himself as one of the meanest ingrates of the age, if he did not countermand the order discharging "without honor" the men who, by the most gallant and heroic charge of the whole Spanish-American War, saved him and his command from being cut to pieces. Senator Foraker has forever signalized himself by the manner he handled the experts. He out-experted the experts and made their expert testimony look ridiculously bunglesome, indeed, to put it in the best possible light. It would have been pitiful, indeed, had not the case been so serious for the Negro, to see the little fellows squirming and riggling about, trying to get together some expert evidence to help their dread master, the President of the United States of America, fasten a crime upon his saviors, for no greater reason than to sate an overleaping ambition to please and be popular with the South. This has been said to show that the man upon whom Roosevelt purposes to drop the mantle of his policies has been his faithful disciple and will be a close imitator if he succeeds in riding into power. That man is William H. Taft. If Taft is ever President, he will be so nominally, Roosevelt will be the real thing, that is, the power behind the throne. Taft, as Secretary of War, could have held up the iniquitous order against the soldiers, as the President was out of the country, in such a way as to have made it impossible for the President to sustain his sweeping order without making himself culpable before the world for a glaring wrong. So, fellow-countrymen, let us see to it that the political band wagon in the South is not packed with Tafterites only. Foraker has a claim on our support, and let us be men and rally to him as he did to us. JADECEE To The Nashville Globe: The race must be proud of the fact that the Globe, though a young publication compared with the many years of service which some of our race journals have enjoyed, has received praise and special notice throughgout our nation. Why? Because it has been and is now, in the estimation of many, the independent and uncompromising defender of the race. It should be read in every home in America, until the support and unselfish encouragement by the race will make it a daily organ, and then it can commend and defend the race in its most useful place as a newspaper. The campaign of 1908, for the election of a President of the nation, comes at a time when the race, as part of this great nation, stands on the last thread of its integrity before the American people. Many are the friends the black man has in this country, and they are silently waiting the action of the race in the struggle to uphold its national existence. Never before has this government, through its chief executive, dealt the race such a blow as the indiscriminate discharge of the Battalion of the 25th Infantry at Brownsville, Texas. The results of this act, which is now a disturbing element, and the future action of the President and this nation towards the black man will beyond a doubt be watched by both of the great political parties. If ours is truly a government of the people, by the people, for the people. NASHVILLE, TENN. (Continued on Page 6.) FOR RENT. __ FOR RENT—Furnished Rooms.

The race must be born again into that station of recognition whereby we can say who shall be the servant of the people in office. How can we do anything along this line? Stop com- plaining and do the simple things which are in our power. We are not all disfranchised, We have the bal- ance of power in local elections. Put aside every selfish leader and organ- ize a mass of voters; prepare for the election, vote for the man or men that have declared to do justice by all alike, and this, the most vexing ele- ment in our daily life, will be wiped out. In the Louisville municipal elec- tion the black men organized as the balance of power and forced the Re- publicans te drop a Taft man, and put up a man to head the ticket that declared that he would see that the black man was treated as other citi- zens, and so far he has kept his word. These are the things in our power. Why not use them? They cannot be void of all effort. Our next election for President of the United States will witness a great: er activity on the part of the black men of this country than ever before, The American “Junta,” an organiza tion among the younger men of the race, has made a demand on every man of prominence throughout the whole coitntry. Local organizations are now being formed in the following states: New York, Maryland, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Virgin- ja, Indiana and Kentucky. In’ these states, first, because they poll a vote ranging fom 25,000 to 95,000 in every Presidential and Congressional elec- tion. The efforts of such men as Sen- ator Foraker and men of true friend- ship for the black man will be sup- ported. The result of a united effort cannot but change the indifferent ac- tion of this government BE. ©. MoNAIRY. fone F. D. L. A. CLUB. On January 2, 1998, Mrs. S. P.

Rev. J. Respondent is still on the INVALID OF FOURTEEN YEARS PASSES AWAY. Mr. Milton Tate, of whom mention was made in these columns three weeks ago, to the effect that he was suffering from the most serious spell during his long confinement of over fourteen years, and from which he never regained complete consciousness, it being plain to those who have had the care and attention of him to these many years that he could not survive this terrible shock, passed quietly away Thursday at 12:30 p. m., at the residence of his brother, Mr. W. O. Tate, of 320 Eighth avenue, N. In the room when he closed his eyes to the scenes of this life were Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Tate, Mrs. C. McGann, a sister, and Mr. George Gordon, brother of Mrs. W. O. Tate. Four sisters and one brother survive him. It is probable that he will be interred at Greenwood Cemetery this afternoon at 3:30 from the residence.

The greatest fighter at his time, and the winner of several hundred fistic encounters, George Dixon, died in the alcoholic ward of Bellevue Hospital, a victim of a long fight with drink. Idolized in his prime by thousands, as a puglistic hero, George Dixon passed away practically penniless and without funds. Dixon was 37 years of age, and for many years held the title of featherweight champion. George Dixon fought several hundred ring battles, his first fight being in 1886, when he whipped a boy named Johnson, in Halifax, N. S. From that time until Terry McGovern knocked him out in 1900 and broke his heart, no man of his weight ever whipped him. He won the featherweight title in 1891 by whipping the champion, Cal McCarthy. Dixon was a perfect fighting machine, so far as attack and defense were concerned, and his ability to strike a blow from any position made him a formidable opponent. Dixon won thousands of dollars in the ring, which he spent with companions. A wasted, wan figure was brought to Bellevue Hospital several days ago and ticketed in the alcoholic ward as George Dixon. To the doctor he said that he had "fought his last fight with John Barleycorn, and had been beaten." His condition grew rapidly worse, and later on the former champion died. It might be well to live high when you are making plenty of money, but at the same time one would do well to save a little to care for one's self during his last days. With the passing of Dixon another spoke has been broken in the wheel of fistic arena. What death leaves undone, the "color line" will finish. * * * Manager Whittaker and Captain May, of North Nashville Stars, two good men, both having played amateur ball with the best this city has produced. Captain May has also played with the Cincinnati Stars. The North Nashville Stars will play their first game of the 1908 season at Murfreesboro with Bradley Academy. Following are the players signed: Infielders—Lester, Whittaker, Vaughn, and Fry. Outfielders—Matthews, Johnson and Hall; catcher, May; pitchers, Patton and Grigsby. DR. WICKHAM IN TOWN. Dr. Charles B. Wickham, of the class of 1907, Meharry Medical College is in the city. He arrived Tuesday from Charleston, S. C., where he has been for the past six months with the Nurse Training Hospital of that city. Dr. Wickham made a good report while there, and comes away with the very best possible endorsement from the leading physicians of Charleston. En route to Nashville from the South Carolina capital, he stopped at Augusta, Ga., for a while with friends and ex-Meharryites. He will go from Nashville to New Orleans, his old home, where he will resume his practice with better prospects than before. COUNTERFEIT SILVER CERTIFI CATES. A recent Associated Press despatch from Washington, D.C., dated January 4, announced the appearance of a new counterfeit $5.00 silver certificate of the series of 1899. The certificate bears the portrait of the Indian chief, Onepapa. Mr. John E. Wilkey, chief of the secret service department, was notified of the discovery of the counterfeit, which was made by Wm. Williams of the Irving National Bank of New York City. None of these have been seen in Nashville, but just how soon one will make its appearance is not known. Hence a description might be of interest to the general public. The counterfeit is a rough photo-mechanical production printed on two pieces of paper, no attempt being made to imitate the fiber paper of the genuine. The printing is very heavy and blotchy, the lathe work and ruling being broken and disconnected. Owing to the scarcity of finances, it may be that this new $5.00 bill may be overlooked. RECEPTION AT BLIND SCHOOL. A reception was given last week to the students and inmates of the Tennessee School for the Blind at No. 33 Tennessee street. The principal, Mrs. S. M. Lowe, gave the reception and was assisted in entertaining the students by the faculty. It was an enjoyable occasion. The entire enrolment of students participated. Refreshments were served, games indulged in and a real pleasant evening was spent. This was the first annual Christmas reception, and in order to make the occasion one to be long remembered, Mrs. Lowe prepared everything that she could for the entertainment of the unfortunate ones. She is always looking for the best interest of the school, which has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. It had been announced previously that the reception would take place. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 10. 1908. as a result it was looked for with eagerness by the inmates. The Colored Department can boast of having as its principal, one that has proven in all of these years of constant labor her devotion and her interest in each individual. There were no guests from the city present. It was strictly a school entertainment, and as such it was carried out to the delight of all. HELP FROM THE COUNTY. In the last session of the County Commissioners' Court, appropriations were made to the Industrial School in charge of Rev. J. E. Purdy to the amount of $25 per month and an appropriation of $75 was also made to Rev. G. B. Taylor for his reformatory, for boys and girls of the race. These two institutions are receiving only a small appropriation from the county, considering the inmates they are caring for. The Commissioners requested Rev. Mr. Purdy of the Industrial School to secure better and more commodious quarters for the care of his boys, after having had a favorable report from the committee which was sent out to investigate the same. DEATH OF CHARLES HOWELL. A prominent and conspicuous citizen of Nashville, one who knew much of its past history and one who has figured in the affairs of the city for nearly half a century, passed away Saturday morning. It was Mr. Chas. Howell, a well-known cook who resided at the corner of Seventh and Len avenues. Mr. Howell could be rated as one of the ante-bellum members of the race. He had followed all of his life his chosen profession in the culinary line, having been employed by some prominent families of Nashville. At the time of his death he was employed by one of the local restaurants. The remains were interred by Taylor & Co. The services over the deceased were held at the Lea Avenue Christian Church Monday morning at 10 o'clock. MASS MEETING AT ODD FELLOWS HALL On Tuesday night, January 14, the Tennessee State Fair Association will hold a mass meeting at the Odd Fellows Hall. Many prominent speakers are expected to be present. The new officers will be installed. PLEASANT EVENING. Quite a pleasant evening was spent at the residence of Mrs. Gilbert White, Garden street, Friday, December 27. Games and music were the program of the evening. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Bandy, Mr. and Mrs. Cage, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin J. Bishou, Mrs. Horace Canady, Miss Cassie Battle, Dr. Cambers, Miss Emma Morris and Mr. Gilbert White. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS. There was a call meeting of some of the republicans of the district held in the office of the Assistant United States Attorney, Mr. Lee Brock, last Saturday morning. At this call meeting a general call was issued for the district and county executive committee. Quite a number of the big politicians was present. Another meeting is scheduled to take place Saturday morning, January 11, at the Tulane Hotel, from 10 to 11 o'clock. Just what matters will be discussed at this meeting is not known, but when such meetings are held at these big hotels, it is evident that few, if any, of the colored brothers are expected, unless they go by the back door route, or pull off their hats as they enter the front way. YOUNG FOLKS ENTERTAINED There was a beautiful tacky party given last week at the residence of Mrs. Mary Allen. It was given by Misses Helen Webb. Birdie Allen and Myrtle Grant, 1025 Sixth avenue. North. They entertained from 7 to 11 p. m. The following were in attendance: Misses Sadie M. Alsup, Maggie Cockrill, Ella Littlefield, Blanche Whiteclaw, Ollie McGill, Cornelia Randals, Lenora Waters, Eva Moore, Mattie Bradley, Luvenia Bradley, Beatrice Williams, Florence Burns, Corinne Webb, Messrs.

The amusements of the evening were games and dancing. A two-course menu was served. Master Albert Scruggs received the gentlemen present while Miss Luvenia Bradley received the ladies present. FAIR ASSOCIATION TO INSTALL OFFICERS. The Tennessee Colored Fair Association, the organization of which was completed last month, as stated in the columns of The Globe, will hold a CHURCH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS New Styles Cheap and Endurable. Comfort and Beauty Combined. UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev. G. H. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and DeJuge Sts.; Rev. Win Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION APPY TO THE public meeting at the Odd Fellows Hall, on Fourth avenue, North, next Tuesday night. The officers elected at the last meeting of the directors will be publicly installed and an effort be made to still further interest the people of the city in the Fair which is to be held by this Association next fall. The admission is free and a general invitation is and has been extended to the public to present. The officers to be installed are J. C. Napier, President; P. F. Hill, Vice President; Dr. H. T. Noel, Vice President; Dr. R. F. Boyd, Vice President; Preston Taylor, Vice President; J. Thomas Turner, Secretary; T. Clay Moore, Assistant Secretary; J. Frank Battle, Corresponding Secretary; C. N. Langston, Treasurer CHRISTMAS TREE AT TRAINING SCHOOL. On Thursday night, January 2, there was a Christmas tree at the Missionary Training School, 27 Robertson street, for the school. At eight o'clock the guests assembled; their names were requested at the door by two young ladies who gave them a star of thanks. At half-past eight the exercises began with a song, followed by prayer from Mr. Vinson, after which Mrs. G. A. Goings made the opening address. The remainder of the program was turned over to Mrs. Kate Sloan, the assistant teacher. Many pleasing selections were rendered. At the close of the program speaking was conducted by Mrs. George Drew. The tree contained many presents There were 91 names registered. Bishop Evans Tyree delivered an address to the A. C. E. League at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. The address was well delivered and every one was highly benefited. Mrs. Patience Walker, of 502 Tenth avenue, South, was called home on last week to attend the funeral of her brother, Mr. Dave Jordan. The funeral was held from Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church, Rev. A. P. Gray, former pastor, and Rev. G. R. Norman, pastor, officiated. Miss C. D. Chappelle left the city the latter part of last week for Ocala, Fla., where she will visit Dr. Mitchell, and from there she goes to Helena, S. C., where she will visit her sister, Mrs. L. K. Nelson. Mrs. S. H. Killebrew entertained Mrs. Lelia Lawrence, of St. Louis, last Wednesday evening. Mr. Henry Massey has returned from Louisville, Ky., where he spent the holidays. Captain and Mrs. John T.
