THE NASHVILLE GLOBE "All things come to them that wait, providing they nustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. E. Beyd. VOL. III. Delivered Address in New York January 17. THROWS NEW LIGHT ON GREAT RACE PROBLEM. HAS KNOWN NEGRO ALL HIS LIFE—IN SLAVERY AND IN FREEDOM—HAS ALWAYS FOUND HIM INDUSTRIOUS AND PAINSTAKING — PREACHES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL MEN—WOULD NOT ASK MORE FOR HIS CHILDREN THAN .HE WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE OTHERS—PREDICTS BRIGHT FUTURE FOR THE RACE. On Friday evening, January 17, Mr. Henry Watterson, of the Courier-Journal, of Louisville, delivered an address on the "Future of the Negro," the needs, aims and hopes of the colored race, before a large audience, at Carnegie Hall, in New York, Cardinal Gibbons, Governor Hughes, Ambassador Bryce and Booker T. Washington were among the speakers of the evening. The meeting was for the purpose of launching a campaign of money raising for Tuskegee Institute. MR. WATTERSON'S SPEECH. Mr. Henry Watterson said that though the white man seemed to have gotten along faster than his colored neighbor, all were creatures of evolution and education, and added: "We have had no race war or serious race conflict in Kentucky. The feudists of the mountains, the night rides of the tobacco belt are all whites, not blacks. Reasonable white people and reasonable black people find it easy to get along much as if there existed no color line. Each is inspired by a sense of duty to the other, under which the benign influence of religion and humanity may yet blossom into the old domestic relations of confidence and affection, the man-owner ship clause succeeded by a manhood clause, at once self-respecting and re ciprocally respected." THE NEGRO'S FUTURE. Mr. Watterson spoke as follows: Mr. Watterson spoke as follows: The most serious problem for the former slave-holding States to solve—by reflection one of the most serious problems for the States of the North to consider and help to solve—is known as the Negro question. As it stands, it is the embodiment of a century of misleading and error. Each side to the controversy has had its share in both the misleading and the error. not until Heaven raised up in the proscribed race a Man—a Leader of Men though a Negro—who is with us here to night—did a single ray of truth penetrate the surrounding darkness. Almost despairing, I had ceased to theorize, throwing myself back on a simple, childlike faith in God, when Booker T. Washington appeared upon the scene to lighten the gloom and point the way. It rejoices me to stand by his side, to hold up his hands. Nobody can go to Tuskegee, and see what I saw there, and come away without being impressed. Ever since I went there, now many years ago, I have been filled with hope; for though the institution of African slavery be dead, and thank the Lord of hosts for that, the Negro is here; he is here in ever-increasing numbers and he is here to stay. All schemes for getting rid of him are fantastic and, if attempted, would prove abortive. He must be developed on new lines, educated to an anomalous situation, and resolved into the body of society, not as an irritant, but as a natural, indispensable component part. That's the problem. BOTH SECTIONS RESPONSIBLE. The two sections of the American Union were in the beginning, as you know, jointly responsible for African Slavery. Originally the slave trade existed both North and South. The African was brought here in Northern ships. When the North found slave labor unprofitable it sold its slaves to the South, which mistakenly thought NASHVILLE, TENN.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908. it profitable. I have never heard that the North failed to put the money it got for its slaves in its pocket. It is to the glory of our common manhood that, when Virginia ceded an Empire to the Federal Government, it was stipulated that human bondage should never cross its border. At last the Institution of African Slavery precipitated the South into a ruinous war, and, after this war, it was discovered that slave labor had been no more profitable in the South than in the North. THE NEGRO'S CROWN OF GLORY. During a century of angry contention among the whites about the blacks, starting with the suppression of the African Slave trade to culminate with the Proclamation of Emancipation, it was the black people, not the white people, who conducted themselves like Christian men and women, and if Gabriel should suddenly blow his horn and the world should come to an end this blessed instant, many a white man might be found holding up a black man betwixt himself and the fire, to plead his case before the Recording Angel. The black people ought to be very proud of this. It should constitute their point of departure in that soul-journey from grace to grace toward perfection which is the goal of those that accept for their rule of life and death, the Religion of Christ and Him Crucified. RIGHTS AND WRONGS. Many years ago, within the circle of a bay window overlooking one of the great avenues of the City of Washington, I was dining with a party of friends. We had been discussing the race question, when, as if to punctuate our discourse, two men across the way—a black man and a white man—entered upon an altercation which came to blows. The police were conveniently, I might say characteristically, absent. A ring was formed, and, in true Marquis of Queensberry style, the race war upon a small but tangible scale was then and there fought out. Taking this to illustrate the interrupted conversation one among our group asked, apparently confident of the reply, "which are we for, the Nigger or the Irishman?" It was an eminent statesman of the South who answered. "Well, before I decide that I should like to know which has the right of it." My own attitude toward the racial question has always grounded itself in the same principle. I want nothing for myself, or for my children, which I am not ready to give to my colored neighbor and his children. I live in a region peopleled by many blacks, good, orderly, hard-working folk. They know me and they know that, when I declare this, I mean it. I am, in my own home, served by black people, and very well served, having had no occasion to change a serving man or woman in many years. We go away, and sometimes are absent for months, returning to find the place as we left it. If they were actual members of the family, they could not be more solicitous for our welfare. SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I passed not a few of my boyhood days upon the plantation in Tennessee—in point of fact, upon two plantations in Tennessee—where slavery existed in its complete but also under its milder aspects and conditions. From the earliest dawnings of intelligence, which I can remember, the system seemed to me monstrous. "If slavery is not wrong," said Lincoln, "nothing is wrong." So I thought, and so I think. Thousands of men fought and fell on the Confederate side of the War of Sections, who believed the same thing; as did Washington and Jefferson, and the gentlemen of Virginia who made the first American Revolution. When the Second American Revolution came to pass liberating, as by a stroke of the sword, nearly four million slaves from bondage, my sentiment of freedom was in excess of my sense of the magnitude and the complexities of the event. I accepted the situation. The three last Amendments to the Constitution I declared to be the actual and final Treaty of Peace between the North and the South. It was my opinion—based on feeling and not on knowledge or judgment—that invested with full citizenship the newly-liberated slave would be able to work out his own destiny. During the ten years of Reconstruction that followed, I devoted my energies to ward the habilitation of the black man of the South as essential to the pacification of the white men of the North and South. There are plenty of ANOTHER GOLD BLOODED MURDER Mr. William Malone Shot Down Like a Dog. D. W. GRAVES, STABLE BOSS, COMMITTED DEED. NO PROVOCATION FOR BARBAROUS ACT—PERRY TOLIVER ONLY EYEWITNESS TO TRAGEDY—STATES HE HEARD NO WORDS BETWEEN TWO MEN—VILLAIN GRAVES TRIES TO MANUFACTURE PRETEXT THAT MALONE WAS ATTEMPTING TO ROB HIM—GREAT INDIGNATION FELT AND MUCH EXCITEMENT PREVAILS. Another widow left without protection to tread the wine press alone; another law-abiding citizen gathered to his rest, and another outrage upon Nashville, is chalked up in the annals of crime for Saturday evening, last. As usual, a Negro is the victim and a white man is charged with the crime. The victim was William Malone, who was at the time of the shooting employed by the Nashville Roofing and Paving Company, occupying the prominent position as finisher, while the assassin was one W. D. Graves, a stable boss, who had charge of the horses and wagons, but who had been temporarily promoted to fill the position of paymaster. On Saturday evening, while paying off the Negro help, which is largely in the majority with this concern, it appears that he could not stand the temporary promotion, as the facts gathered from witnesses and from those who went to get their money show that the very first duty devolving upon him, according to his thought, was to "bully" each employee or each laborer who called for his money. All had been paid off with the exception of a few, among which number was Wm. Malone. When he called to get his money he was handed the contents of a forty-five, without any apparent cause and in actual cold blood, according to the statement made by Perry Tolliver, an employee of the Company and an eye-witness to the shooting. Mr. Perry Tolliver also testified at the coroner's jury inquest that Graves "had it in" for Malone. Other witnesses testified that they had heard Graves state on several occasions that he intended to kill some of the "niggers" before long. The shooting occurred at the pay office of the Company on Third avenue, North, on last Saturday evening, between three and four o'clock. Malone was at once taken to the City Hospital, where every possible effort was made to locate the bullet, which entered the stomach about five inches above the abdomen, and seemed to have taken a straight course, striking the lower part of the liver. The above statement was from Dr. Thompson. But without avail, the deceased passed away between nine and ten o'clock and was immediately sent to A. N. Johnson's undertaking establishment, Cedar street, where his lifeless remains lay all day Sunday. A Globe reporter was present and viewed the remains. He saw the body stripped to its nude state during a careful examination by physicians and coroner's jury. He heard the evidence of each witness which seemed to point to deliberate murder with malice aforethought. He was also present and heard the verdict of the seven jurors as follows, "William Malone came to his death from a gunshot wound fired from a gun in the hands of Mr. Graves." The verdict was the unanimous consensus of opinion of those who heard the testimony. Graves was arrested Saturday evening and remained in the city jail all day Sunday. Monday he was taken before Judge Baker and bound over to the Criminal Court. In default of bail, he was locked up in the county jail. The deceased leaves a wife. He had a high standing with the Nashville Roofing and Paving Company, which evidenced the sympathy in his untimely taking off. The company telephoned Johnson's undertaking establishment and requested that all money that had been paid on the funeral by the deceased's wife be returned to her and that Malone be given a first-class burial. The bill was ordered sent to them, which proved beyond a doubt that Malone was no loafer and no ordinary man in the estimation of the Company. EDUCATIONAL AND RACE MASS MEETING. An audience consisting of between six and seven hundred gathered in the auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Monday night, and listened to an excellent program which had been prepared for the occasion. It was an educational and race mass meeting—one of the first of its kind held in Nashville. A deal of interest was created in the meeting, principally on account of the coming campaign and because some of the speakers that were assigned to subjects were expected to give vent to their feelings along political lines. The meeting had been chiefly chaperoned by the active workers in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, as the principal speakers were of that connection. This, however, did not mean that it was not a race meeting and that the interest was not to be created. When it is taken into consideration that the admission fee of ten cents was charged, and yet this large audience was present, it can be readily seen that the meeting was not lacking in point of attendance. It was 8:30 before the meeting was called to order by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., LL. D., of the Tenth Episcopal District, who was acting as master of ceremonies. Excellent music was one of the features of the program, most of which was furnished by the St. Paul choir. A noticeable feature of the meeting was the attendance of men prominent in all walks of life from various parts of the state of Tennessee. Instead of being a meeting of local influence, it attracted from Memphis on the West, and Chattanooga on the East; in fact, there was hardly time enough allotted to each speaker for doing justice to the subject in the briefest business talk. Bishop Lee, the first speaker, who was on program for remarks, in a very mild and straightforward way, told of the many accomplishments of the race and in his own way injected into the remarks some accomplishments of the African Methodist Church. The meeting did not turn from its first purpose, which was indicated in the call as an educational and mass meeting. The commendable strides made by the race in such institutions as Paul Quinn College at Waco; Shorter College at Little Rock, Turner Normal and Industrial School at Shelbyville, Howe Institute at Memphis, Roger Williams, Walden and Fisk Universities at Nashville; Knoxville College at Knoxville, and, in fact, all the schools in the race supported in whole or in part directly by the race, were mentioned very favorably. A interesting speaker of the evening was Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of the Theological Department of Walden University, who is always interesting and commands an excellent flow of language. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, spoke, but did not use his manuscript, preferring to speak upon a live topic. Rev. T. W. Haigler added more fire to his "Survival of the Fittest" than any of the previous speakers. Naturally having the command of an excellent voice, he used it to good advantage. Dr. Geo W. Henderson and Rev. S. E. Griggs were both absent, but Rev. J. Q. Johnson, of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn., made up for the absentees by a very heated address, in which he proceeded to denounce "illy-whiteism" in the clearest and most unmistakable terms. Prof. Johnson was not at all in sympathy with the attempt to eliminate from the republican party by the present move. The next speaker, whose subject was "What Will the Negro Do in 1908?" was Rev. Dr. Porter, pastor of Avery Chapel, Memphis. He declared that he did not know what the Negro would do in 1908, but made some predictions that seemed to be in line with the way straws are pointing, in that is an indication of the way the wind blows. There was a strong Foraker sentiment throughout the meeting, notwithstanding politics was not allowed to take charge. Yet at the mention of the Ohio Senator's name, the house would applaud continuously. Another star of the evening was Mrs. Woodfolk, one of the sweetest singers of the city, who was applauded lustily, being forced to return to an encore. The management of the mass meeting declared that it was a financial success in every respect. Prof. A. J. Armstrong, of Columbia, spent several days in the city last week. WHO WITH FRIENDS ASSEMBLED TO DO HIM HONOR. A GREAT LIFE PORTRAYED—COMING FROM HUMBLE SURROUNDINGS IN CHILDHOOD, HE HAS STRIVEN TO A POSITION OF HIGH EMINENCE—ONE OF THE LEADING MEN OF THE RACE—A CHURCHMAN WITH A BRILLIANT RECORD—FOR EIGHT YEARS EDITOR OF THE CHRISTIAN INDEX, AND ONE OF THE FOREMOST NEGRO EDITORS. Last Friday, January 17, the Rt. Rev. C. H. Phillips, Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, was 50 years old, and this anniversary was very fittingly celebrated by the family and a few friends. Bishop Phillips was born in Milledgeville, Ga., January 17, 1858. He came from an humble parentage, and was reared upon the farm. In 1874 he was licensed to preach, shortly afterward entering Atlanta University, where he pursued his literary and theological studies. Only a few years were spent in Atlanta, however, because he later entered Central Tennessee College, now Walden University, where he graduated from the college department of this well-known school, receiving the degree of A. B. This took place in 1880. A classmate of his is Bishop I. B. Scott, of the M. E. Church. In December of the same year he married Miss Lucy E. Tappan, a graduate of Fisk University and daughter of the Rev. Dr. B. B. Tappan, a prominent Baptist minister of this city. In the meantime Mr. Phillips entered the Mehary Medical College, from which school he graduated in 1882. Dr. Phillips was then called to Jackson, Tenn., as president of Lane College. From Jackson he went to Union City, where he remained a year as the principal of the public schools. At this place he was appointed pastor of Collins Chapel, Memphis, Tenn., the leading charge of his church in the South. His pastorate there was a great success. From Memphis he was sent to Washington, D. C., where he pastored Israel Metropolitan C. M. E. Church for four years. Again he proved a great success. It was here that Dr. Phillips gained a national reputation. From Washington he was sent to old historic Center Street C. M. E. Church. In this city the daily press frequently reported his sermons, and on one occasion after publishing his sermon in full on "My Brother's Keeper," the Morning Courier Journal remarked that "Dr. Phillips' sermons are attracting large crowds and it is pretty generally conceded that he will yet reach the goal." From his charge in Louisville Dr. Phillips was made a presiding elder, then at General Conference he was elected editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the church. For eight years he was one of the leading colored editors of the country. In 1902 in this city he was elevated to the Episcopacy. In this capacity he has proven himself to be a leader of sound and wise judgment. He is the junior bishop of his church and bears the degrees A. M., M. D., D. D. Bishop Phillips is highly intelligent and among his brethren, over whom he presides, he wields a powerful influence, for good and humanity. He is a man of much travel, having visited the old world twice. As a speaker he is fluent and eloquent, his sermons being made up of the choice diction, and best rhetoric. As a husband and father he is kind and affectionate; as a gospel minister he is always in earnest, and is ever ready to do something for the uplift of Christ's kingdom. Hence it was fitting that his immediate family and friends should congregate to pay tribute of respect to him on his 50th anniversary. His younger son, Prof. J. T. Phillips, was absent, being a teacher in Texas College, Tyler, Tex. Rev. B. Tappan and wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law of the bishop COMMUNION SETS.

An interesting program was rendered. The interest in the club grows steadily and new members are being added at each meeting. The club's motto is "Lift as we climb," and only women who are able and willing to lift are accepted as members. A number of Christmas baskets were sent out to the deserving poor, and a little money with which to buy some coal. Refreshments were served in two courses and all enjoyed the occasion. Mrs. Harriet Campbell and Mrs. L. J. Harlan assisted the hostess. The January meeting will be at the home of Mrs. G. L. Jackson, 707 Lea avenue, on Thursday, January 30.

Amos, the new pastor of Jackson Temple, were also present. The bishop, who has been sick for over two years with stomach trouble, is highly elated over reaching his fifteeth milestone, and evidenced this in a fervent prayer of thanks to Him, who doeth all things well. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY NOTES Every man is a stranger to his own greatest strength, his mightiest power, until the test of a great responsibility, a critical emergency or a supreme crisis in his life calls it out. The loss of Roger Williams University by fire in 1905 was the responsibility thrust upon the Alumni of the University and the Negro Baptists of Tennessee, which has brought out the last ounce of their reserves, their latent power of achievement, the resources which they never would have dreamed they possessed but for this crisis. We believe, what must be, can be. It is necessary that there be a Roger Williams University, and there is. Our beginning is encouraging and we feel that success is ahead of us. The enrollment is increasing daily. We are pleased to add Misses Maxwell, Hough Robinson and others to our number. Several of the former students visited their Alma Mater Saturday, arranging to matriculate at an early date. The young men of the University met Friday afternoon, January 18 1003, and organized the Y. M. C. A. The following officers were elected, viz.: J. W. Baird, President; J. H.

Dover, Tenn., Jan. 21.—(Special)—The night riders made their appearance on the south side of the river in this county for the first time last night. They invaded what is known as Happy Hollow, three miles west of this place, and left about fifteen notices to different farmers not to work any more Negro laborers. The following received notices: P. P. Fitzhugh, E. R. Cherry, George Sykes, Thomas Dougherty, Mrs. D. M. Jones, Lum Blanton, S. A. Parker, H. Crisp, J. W. Whittford. The notices were all written in the same hand and all read exactly alike. It is not known what time of night the notices were posted, as they were very quiet in their work, not waking any of the farmers. The notices were all tacked upon the gate posts, at the front gate of the farmers. P. P. Fitzhugh, besides being a farmer, is also a prominent timber man, and he works a great many Negro tie hackers. After discovering the notice on his gate, Mr. Fitzhugh telephoned to the Sheriff here for his bloodhounds. The hounds were sent and took the trail at Mr. Fitzhugh's gate and followed the rail for several miles, going to every gate where notices had been left. The trail, however, was lost at the store of M. E. Dilday. Some of the farmers do not think that their notices were from the night riders. Those who received the notices say they are not going to spare any expense to catch the guilty ones. MOUNT OLIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL A large number of pupils were present, all of the classes being represented by from 10 to 30 pupils. A liberal contribution was raised. The class of young men, Deacon Martin, teacher, is in a most flourishing condition, while Class No. 16, Mr. H. A. Boyd, teacher, has the record of having more visitors than any class in the school. The lesson for the day, "Jesus Choosing His First Disciples," was beautifully portrayed by Mr. S. Evans Shirley, who was among the many visitors in attendance. Tuesday night the regular meeting of teachers was held, the superintendent, Mr. Hurt, with a number of teachers and officers, was present. The lesson, "Jesus Cleanses the Temple" was discussed, being opened and conducted by Rev. T. J. Lewis. After several recommendations as to the improvement of finance of the school, benediction was pronounced by Rev. Lewis. Rev. S. L. Howard, of Columbia is in the city this week. SUITS MADE TO ORDER.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908 (Continued from Page 1.) black people living in Kentucky who remember well the contest we had with the elements of disorder masquerading as the Kuklux Klan long after the disbandment of that dread organization in the States South of us, the struggle for the admission of Negro testimony to our Courts of Law—in point of fact, the stubborn fight for the expurgation of the old black laws from the Statute books of the Commonwealth—narrowing itself down even to the right of the Negro to ride upon the street cars. Happily, Kentucky escaped the many evils and dangers which would surely have ensued, if the extremism of those dark days had prevailed. Because it did not, we have had no race war or serious racial conflict in Kentucky. The Feudists of the Mountains, the Night Riders of the Tobacco belt, are all whites, not blacks. Reasonable white people and reasonable black people find it easy to get along much as if there existed no color line. Each is inspired by a sense of duty to the other which under the benign influence of religion and humanity, may yet blossom into the old domestic relations of confidence and affection, the man-ownership clause succeeded by a manhood clause, at once self-respecting and reciprocally respected. EVERY MAN TO HIS VOCATION. The race question is a mystery. For the matter of that, life is a mystery. Whence we came, whither we are going, we know not. The Ethiopian is thought to be especially imitative. All of us are more or less imitative—particularly the ultra Smart Set of high society—which, here on the seaboard imitates the little it knows about the European nobility, and, in the interior, whatever it can find out about the Smart Set of the seaboard. It is an unfortunate characteristic of imitation to take for its example rather the bad than the good of whatever attracts its admiration or its envy. "Jess like white folks" is sometimes heard in colored circles of fashion—that is, among the colored Smart Set of the Colored Four Hundred. Now, for my part, I scarcely think much more of the Colored Four Hundred than I think of the Caucasian Four Hundred, who live for vanity and pleasure, and who, if they can't go to Heaven in their Automobiles, don't want to go at all! Every shoemaker to his last, the saying hath it, and that say I, each mother's son of us to his vocation, whatever it be. Men in their places are the men who stand. Neither Mr Seth Low, nor Mr. Rogers, not even Booker T. Washington, or Mark Twain—can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. No more can they make a musician, or a poet, or a lawyer, or a doctor, out of material that was intended for blacksmithing, dray-driving and plowing. Happily, they don't try. All of us are the creatures of evolution and education. The White races seem to have got along faster in the great eternal plan than the Black races. Why, I cannot tell you. It is a simple fact, obvious to all of us, that, just as Europe and America are further advanced in arts and arms than Africa, are the Europeans and the Americans ahead of the Africans in the developments of modern culture. As this ought not to be the subject of vainglorious exaltation among the Whites, it should not be considered, or felt, as either a humiliation or a reproach by the Blacks. In case it should become so the future would be dark indeed for both races. Each needs to grow in grace; but it is my belief that each can and will thus grow in grace in the South first of all and most of all, and within lines plainly fixed by God and Nature, leading to that ultimate peace that passeth understanding, when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together in harmony. And Booker Washington is blazing the way. THE RECORD OF FORTY YEARS. Since, in our Southern country, at least, this is so—since neither race can get rid of the other, or act independently of the other—let us take account of what has been done these forty years of freedom. I stand here to-night to declare that the world has never witnessed such progress from darkness to light as that which we see in those districts of the South where the Negro has had a decent opportunity for self-improvement. Look at Jamaica—nearly a century of emancipation, the Negro at a stand-still—look at South Africa, riches piled on riches, the Negro still a savage and less considered than the animals—yet it is England that piques herself on what Albion has done for freedom and the black man. Let the Negro go to any alien community and try to get employment. Barred on every hand; plenty of sentiment, but no work. There are regions North, East and West which never knew slavery and were a unit for the Union, where the Negro is refused admittance. He is told to move on. He is what the President described the other day as "an undesirable citizen." Turn Southward; plenty both of work and wages for all who bring tranquil minds and willing hands. Bad people, slothful people, get on nowhere; but nowhere on the habitable globe has the liberated slave fared so well, nowhere has he so fair an outlook, as in the Southern States of North America. THE LOCAL AFFINITIES. Why? Because we know one another and because, no matter what anybody may say to the contrary, there is a common bond of association between us. Never can the white man of the South forget what the black man did during a war waged for his freedom; and what he might have done. Never should the black man of the South forget that he is the weaker in the race and for a long time must look to the white man for help of many kinds. It is through these reciprocal obligations and interests that the two races will reach some institutional system of living and doing entirely satisfactory to both. Nothing is to be expected from the rushing hot-house process, or from any artificial arrangement; everything is to be hoped from nature left to herself—unvexed by misdirected political considerations, uninfluenced by outsiders teaching false philosophies—simple justice and kindness presiding over the ordinary laws of common honesty and common sense. The Negro in Africa has scarcely burst the chrysalis of the primitive state of man. In America he is yet in a state of racial childhood. As he realizes this, the faster he will grow, the quicker he will learn, the sooner he will reach his racial manhood. In less than half a century he has achieved wonders. Before the century we have just begun is half over, he will have achieved greater still. He has yet and upon an extensive scale to learn habits of method and order; habits of tenacity and acquisition; habits of sustained industry and sobriety without which no race—white, red, brown, or black—or any individual man—can get on and prosper THE RELICION OF BROTHERHOOD. He is a bad white man who will not help his neighbor black man when that neighbor black man shows the spirit to help himself. He is a bad black man who cherishes hatred in his heart against the white man because he is a white man. He is a foolish black man who thinks because the mirage of social equality, which would prove a curse rather than a blessing, is denied him, that the white man hates him. Social questions the world over create their own laws and settle themselves. They cannot be forced. It is idle anywhere for anybody to contest, or quarrel with them. No man should wish to go where he is not wanted; true, self-respecting men dismiss the very thought of it, going their own way, hoeing their own row, and giving praise to God that their happiness is within themselves and beyond the reach of any man, be he white, or black, king or vassal! And now, my friends, I have said my say. I beg you to go hence this night believing these imperfect thoughts and poor words the honest emanations of one who has journeyed much, and far and wide, in this great land of curs. I was born and grew up in the National Capital, contemporary with the vexed slavery agitation. I saw the Union severed and made whole again. Since then I have been in every State and Territory of that Union, and I have yet to come away from one of them, North, South, East or West, where I had not found something to make me proud of my country. I know that the provincials of Fifth Avenue, like the boulevardiers of Paris, think themselves exceptional. They are as a matter of fact chiefly exceptional in their ignorance of everything outside "the great white way." Their boaster superiority is largely the idiosyncrasy of clothes. They should study geography and learn that New York's Western extremity is not New Jersey. They need to travel more on this side and less on the other side of the Atlantic ocean; to learn something of their own people; the most homogeneous people on earth; differing only in externals, in local conditions and habits; Massachusetts and Mississippi as to every blood essential convertible terms; six months, and a change of raiment, readily converting a typical Vermonter into a typical Texan. Forty years have I been preaching this Gospel, sustained by the best intelligence and manhood of the South. I commit it to your intelligence and your manhood unreservedly and wholeheartedly. It embraces the one rescript by which our vast domain can be permanently welded together, instructing each of its sections to respect the others, to love the others, and to leave the others to keep house for themselves, ready to help the needy only in case of need. Thus, and thus alone, shall we escape the pitfalls of the dark ages, and come forth no less a blessed than an irresistible World-Power, black men and white men, equally standing behind the guns, one God and one flag and one law for all. TAFT'S SOUTHERN SUPPORT. (The New York Evening Post.) The White House Summary.—It would be, on the very showing of the White House, impossible to nominate Mr. Taft without the entire vote of the South. That can only mean that the Southern Republican machine, made up of Federal officeholders, is expected to obey the President's orders. What sort of men these Southern Republicans are, we know from Secretary Taft's own frank speech of a couple of years ago. He told them to their faces that they cared for nothing in the party except to control the patronage and run the conventions. To-day, at the word of command from Mr. Roosevelt, they are to mobilize for Mr. Taft. It was precisely by such means that Harrison's renomination was effected in 1892; the result of that year's election is not exactly a happy omen for Taft. There would be this year an added touch of injustice in a Republican nomination due to Southern delegates. The votes upon which alone their representation can pretend to stand have been suppressed, and yet Mr. Taft has said that he will do nothing against the confessed wrong and illegality of the discriminating laws disfranchising the Republican voters in the South! Disfranchise Them! If in a contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft, the Negro supports Taft, the race ought to be disfranchised in America. The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution ought to be repealed. If a dollar and the hope of office is more to the race than manhood rights, then the public welfare demands our elimination from the politics of the Nation.—Atlanta (Ga.) Independent. No Taft in Georgia. There is practically no Taft sentiment in Georgia. We doubt seriously if there are three men in the State who would say in public print, "I favor Taft!"—Atlanta Independent. Likewise in Mississippi. Likewise in Mississippi. The Republican delegation of Mississippi will be solid for Hon. J. B. Foraker, of Ohio.—Vicksburg Light. Follow Foraker Extreme silence prevails in Mississippi white Republican leaders just now, which amounts to an antipathy that is just ridiculous. The straws, of course, show that the wind is blowing Taftward, but plain duty of the Negro is toward Foraker. It is remarkable that there is such a stillness at a time when action is needed. Oh! you ingrates, point to the man since the immortal Lincoln who would protect 8,000,000 in our own leaders, who have never taken up arms against this Government. Why hesitate? Are you waiting to hear from the bosses? Follow the fearless Foraker and you can't go astray.—Vicksburg Light. The Mobile Farce. What a farce is the Mobile Emancipation Day Taft resolutions. Who paid for the Associated Press notice of the scheme? Evidently, the Taft managers are getting badly scared, because their candidate is universally regarded as a trimmer on Negro disfranchisement and one of the chief foes of the Negro soldiers. No, you can't jolly the Negro in line for Mr. Taft, Mobile Negroes to the contrary notwithstanding.—Star of Zion. Texas for Foraker. The fight in Texas will be between Taft, Foraker and Fairbanks; Lyons and his crooks will follow the banner of Taft, and a few mad, disappointed office seeking whites will stand in the cold and freezing quarters of Fairbanks, and the Negroes, who have the votes, will support the candidacy of Foraker. They can follow his cause to defeat rather than be disgraced and considered ungrateful. — Dallas (Texas) Express. COMPOSES TWO NEW SONGS.

THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE AND ITS ACTIONS. We seriously doubt if there ever existed since the organization of the republican party, greater dissatisfaction among the rank and file in this city and county than there is at present over the high-handed actions of the County Executive Committee in naming of its own accord the delegates and alternates to the republican convention which meets in the Twin Building to-morrow. From almost every conceivable source come complaints. Some maintain that the whole scheme was manufactured in the McKinley Club, "a lily white organization," for the especial purpose of eliminating the Negro as a delegate and with the avowed intention of instructing delegates as the "lily white" republicans shall dictate. But, be that as it may, we know there has never been so much dissatisfaction among the Negro voters. And there is a just complaint against the republican county executive committee. The committee, it appears, is composed of men who are sharp enough to pose as wanting to give a square deal to every voter and prospective candidate for the county or district convention, yet railroad through by their machinations a scheme to place the naming of delegates in their own hands before the voters have been made aware that the committee has been in session. Before a single republican newspaper has had an opportunity to announce that the committee has ordered a primary and the books were open for those who desired to be candidates for delegates to qualify, the books were closed and the delegates named by the committee. There are but two republican newspapers in Davidson County and it was to have been expected that the voters of the county would have been informed through these as to when candidates were to qualify. But it seems that the committee did not court the publicity these papers would give to their actions. In fact, it appears that snap convention methods were adopted to prevent a majority of the republican voters from being informed of its proceedings by these papers. Their whole program would indicate this. These two newspapers are published near the end of the week and these slick politicians who control the committee, in order to prevent them from informing their readers—and The Globe reaches more republican voters than any other newspaper in Nashville,—called their meeting for a day of the week when both had gone to press and closed the book for qualifications before the next day of publica THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 24. 1908. tion. Slick politics? Dirty politics? It would appear that the "Iily whites," if such be the men who control the committee, have studied some of the methods adopted by the democrats during the reconstruction period. But the shame of it all is that it is alleged that colored men were parties to the disgraceful trick. We feel justified in calling the action a disgraceful trick, for after careful investigation we find that a number whose names are down as delegates never authorized the committee nor anyone else to qualify them as delegates or candidates therefor. It was a disgraceful trick in which a handful of men by chicanery, delegated to themselves the power to stifle a fair and honest registering of the will of the republican party in the county. The actions of the committee were disgraceful. Will the actions of the Convention be of the same order? The opposition of a majority of the voters to an instruction for Taft is based upon principles so deeply grounded that if the high-handed actions of the Executive Committee are carried to their logical conclusions the party in this county will be seriously crippled, if not split in the coming election when it will need its full strength to beat the faction rended democratic party. We are in a position to know how much dissatisfaction has been caused by the committee's actions and we would advise the men who are set upon forcing an endorsement of Judge Taft, to go very slow in pledging the votes of this district to him. Never has there been such united opposition to a republican candidate by the colored voters of the country as there is in the case of the Secretary of War, and even if the men who control things in this state do force an instruction and the office holders of the South force the nomination of that gentleman they are still liable to see their plans go amiss by the defeat of their candidate in those states whose electoral votes are necessary for him to win and every one of them will give up his place to a democratic successor. There has been too much chicanery in the snap method of naming the delegates and the Convention had better, if it wishes the success of the party, pay heed to the dissatisfaction being so generally expressed. But, finally, we would say to the committee and its backers that in their haste to pull off a snap convention, they have over-reached themselves and will be hoisted on their own petard. What we would like to know is, to what are the delegates being elected tomorrow? There has been no state convention called and in their haste they have elected or will elect delegates to something that does not exist and no provision has been made for its existence. We would further state that it is the general opinion that when the State Committee shall issue its call, primaries or a mass convention will be held in accordance with the same at which the republican voters of the city will have a chance to say as to who shall be the delegates to the county and district convention. It is unfortunate that the question of regulating rates in Tennessee should be so forced by the Railroad Commission as to give the impression that the action of the Commission was taken in the interest of some particular candidate for Governor. The decision, coming at the time it did, shows conclusively, that the Commission is not in sympathy with Governor Patterson and that the move was made to take away from the latter the prestige, if any there be, resulting from a successful demand for a reduction of rates. Governor Patterson has issued a call for a conference of the railroad officials with himself to be held in this city the latter part of the month and there was every reason to believe that good results would have come from the meeting. But the Railroad Commission rushed pell-mell and issued an order that the rates be reduced by the first of April upon all lines in the state. The October panic has caused a falling off of business in all parts of the country. In the East and North, thousands of men are out of employment and here in the South the number of hours of employment have been reduced with a like reduction in pay. It is a time when all matters affecting institutions which employ large numbers of hands, should be handled very cautiously and there should be concerted and harmonious action between the officials of the state upon whom the power is placed of making drastic changes. Whether Patterson or Carmack shall be the next democratic candidate for Governor is a question that will stir the "unterrified" between now and the time for the Convention or primary, to a pitch seldom if ever before equaled in this state, but the ambition of these two men, or either of them, nor the personal jealousies of their friends should not cause state officials to rush headlong into promulgating orders for partisan advantages that will prove disastrous to legitimate business concerns. The speech of Henry Watterson, the veteran editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal from which we make excerpts in another column, shows that this man, who has been more closely identified with the affairs of this country than any other man of the South, is aware that the Negro has made wonderful progress wherever he has been given a half chance in the battles of life. Mr. Watterson, by intimation, says that the reason there is so much friction in most of the Southern states is because of the unjust laws passed against the Negro. He further makes the startling statement—for a Southern white man—that the period following what is called reconstruction was one in which almost every effort was made by many of the Southern whites to put laws on the statute books which would have reduced the Negro to slavery. Mr. Watterson is a brave, outspoken man and every Negro can join with him in saying that "I would ask nothing for myself or my children that I would not freely grant to" another man or his children While the Committee is electing delegates to the county convention, who in turn are to elect delegates to the state convention that is not called, it might perpetuate itself and then elect delegates to the conventions to be held in 1910, 1912 and the rest of the conventions for the present century. These selections will be as binding as those made for the state convention of 1908 which has never been called. The columns of the Globe are open for expressions of opinion from any of its readers but under no consideration do we publish articles unless the name of the author accompanies it. We do not draw the line on one's political beliefs but we will not give publicity to any one's views unless he informs the editor of his identity. The happiest conclusion of the Kentucky deadlock that could possibly happen—if a democrat is to be elected—would be the selection of Henry Watterson to succeed Senator McCreery. "Marse Henri" would prove useful as well as ornamental in the halls of Congress. D. A. DORTCH, AND GENERAL HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS, CASH OR CREDIT. Your Old Furniture Taken In Exchange.

The city of Little Rock, Ark., lost last week in the death of Captain C. W. Keatts, one of its most enterprising, prominent and respected citizens. Captain Keatts died at his home in Little Rock on Friday, January 17. The deceased was a man of national prominence, being one of the active workers in the National Business League, a politician of no little ability, a large holder of real estate in that city and founder of the Mosaic Templars of America. He had also held prominent positions, having been appointed receiver of the Little Rock Electric Railroad Company giving a bond to the amount of $40,000. He disposing of the property in a creditable manner and received an honorable discharge from the United States Court. Captain Keatts had served the government in the railway mail service for seventeen years but had been out of the service in active business for some time. He was also closely identified with all the new movements of interest to the race. His place will be hard to fill in his native state and home. DR. L. L. CHEATHAM HERE. On Monday morning Dr. L. L. Cheatham, of Pine Bluff, Ark., arrived in the city. Dr. Cheatham came to bring three patients, one being Mrs. Freeman, of Althiemer, Ark., another Mrs. Curby, of Sherrills, Ark., and the third Mrs. Binns, of Pine Bluff, Ark., all of whom are now at Wilson's Infirmary, where they are to undergo operations in the near future. Dr. Cheatham remains with his patients, giving the proper professional attention He stated to a Globe reporter that in bringing the patients to Nashville he did so realizing that Nashville offered an advantage in the way of hospitals, infirmaries and in surgery. 'Not because I am a graduate of Meharry,' he said, "but because I am looking for the best for my patients." He expects several more before he leaves, who must come here for treatment ere long. Being a member of one of the best known families in the city, Dr. Cheatham met with a hearty welcome. His practice in Pine Bluff is the largest of any physician in the city, and in cases of this kind he leaves at a great sacrifice. He was the first physician in Pine Bluff to es tablish a private dispensary, which has proven very beneficial to the people. MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR POSITIONS.

"There is no line in which more care must be exercised than in selling diamonds," remarked one of the oldest dealers in Cleveland. "For instance, we don't dare show a man a larger stone than he can afford to buy. "Even a diamond, a carat or a carat and a half in size looks like a mighty small affair to pay so much money for, and if a man comes in expecting to pay $75 for a diamond, he may get disgusted and not buy at all if the salesman shows him something a little larger for $200. The salesman, if he knows his business, will find to a certainty just how much a customer is willing to pay before he shows him anything. "Then it's better not to show a colored stone, such as a ruby or an emerald or bluish diamond in connection with other diamonds. If you show some customers a colored stone and then put it away and show him a good white diamond he will declare that the diamond is off color. It does not seem to be a whim so much as the effect on the eyes of the colors in the stones." From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The membership of the church alone, if it would come out in full, would mean a paid admittance for over one thousand, then, too, an opportunity will be given to the citizens of Nashville at large to see what the Work brothers have been years in bringing out, real plantation melodies and jubilee music, known as Folk-Songs. If the present plans which were discussed Tuesday night at the Teachers' meeting are not changed the cantata will be reproduced on Monday night, February 3. This announcement is made by Mr. James Hurt, the superintendent of the Mount Olive Sunday School, who is arranging for the coming entertainment. EUREKA DANCING CLUB The, Eureka Dancing Class held its annual banquet last week. There were forty-eight guests present. Dancing was the occasion of the evening.

Shelby; Talk, on the interest of the Club, Mrs. Wm. Wilson; Reading, Mrs. M. Dortch; Remarks—"Art," Mrs. Irving. After the rendering of the programme the guests repaired to the dining-room, where tables had been arranged. The tables were laid with battenburg covers and the central ornament was a pretty arrangement of mints and salted almonds and silver candlesticks, shaded by green shades. The place cards were violet-print cards, bearing valentine greetings, and tied with ribbons of the club colors. The following tempting and delicious menu was served: Corn Chaffea, Saratoga flakes, Sweet bread patties, potato rose, filled with green peas, luncheon biscuits, olives, salad course, cream, cake. The club members were out in full force and expressed themselves as having been delightfully entertained. THE RAILWAY PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION ENTERTAIN AT THEIR HEADQUARTERS. Another annual banquet given by the Railway Protective Association has passed into history. The entertainment was given last Thursday evening, January 16, at the headquarters of the association, corner of Cedar street and Tenth avenue, North Several hundred invitations had been sent out for the occasion and most of the guests responded with their presence. There has not been a year in the existence of this association in which they have not given the public the benefit of their hospitality in some way. For the past three years it has been the custom to give these annual fetes, which have been on the very highest order. The on last Thursday night was not behind those of former years. Prominent business men and professional men were among those present. The entire first floor was filled with guests who enjoyed themselves the better part of the evening in conversation. The menu was served on the second floor. The attendance was so large that it was necessary to arrange two tables in order that the guests might be accommodated, having about 100 at each table. The entire membership, with but few exceptions, was present. Two noticeable absentees were Mr. Wm. Boger and Mr. Humphrey Bowling, the two men who have been so instrumental in getting the association upon an active and progressive basis. The latter was called out of the city just a day before the banquet, and the former, having just recovered from an operation, was unable to out. The other officers of the institution from President down, personally saw it that the guests were highly entertained. There were no speeches on this occasion but conversation, which was just as enjoyable. THREE O'CLOCK DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Moore entertained a number of guests at dinner on last Sunday. The dinner was served at three o'clock with the choicest food of the season. Those to partake of the dinner were Rev. Jas. L. Marlin and family, Mr. and Mrs. Douglass, Miss Carrie Wesley, Miss Elizabeth Weakley, Mrs. Goo. Cole, Mr. Crenshaw, Mrs. S. Hardin, Misses Laurena Harris, Wyman, Mrs. Anna Wagner. DR. BOYD'S NEW AUTOMOBILE Dr. R. F. Boyd is attracting the attention of almost every one with his automobile. The good-humored doctor offered to take the genial secretary and Dean of the Globe Publishing Co., Mr. Chas. H. Burrill, for a spin Tuesday evening, while driving Mr. Phil H. Brown to the railroad station, but the modesty of Mr. Burrill and his temerity caused him to refuse the invitation. The car is a very handsome one, and equals any car of its class in the city. Dr. Boyd has not begun the operation as yet of the auto, being content to leave the work to his chauffeur. But when he assumes control he will doubtless go in for the speed record on some of the local tracks. PROMINENT PHYSICIAN IN CITY. Dr. P. G. Walker, one of the leading physicians of Owensboro, Ky., and also as well, one of the leading business men of that thriving city, was here this week. In company with Mr. Phal H.

Dr. Walker, who is a man of wide experience, having seen service in foreign territory with the famous 48th Regiment U. S. V. in the war with Spain, expressed himself as being highly pleased with the evidence of prosperity shown by the business concerns of Nashville. MR. McNAIRY VERY ILL. Mr. E. C. McNairy, who recently returned to the city from French Lick, Ind., where he had been for several months, is dangerously ill at the residence of his brother on Ninth avenue, North. Mr. McNairy who is well known throughout the city, was in poor health upon his arrival here and his condition has gradually grown worse. It will be remembered that Mr. McNairy has been connected with several of the fraternal, political and social organizations of this city, in all of which he takes a deep interest and is very popular with the membership unerof. EBENEZER NOTES. Mrs. Tennie Moten, formerly Mrs. Telford, of Osage City, Kan., was called here on account of the death of her mother, Mrs. Martha Neal.

On Friday night, January 17, the first Quarterly Conference of St. John A. M. E. Church assembled. Dr. T. W. Haigler, presiding elder of the Nashville District of Tennessee Conference, in whose district the church is located, presided at the meeting. He stated that this meeting was being held in order that the members could have an opportunity to attend the mass meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Monday night, January 20. Much of the routine work was gone over, and an outline announced for Sunday and Tuesday following. On Sunday Dr. Haigler addressed the Sunday school, preached morning, afternoon and night, and administered the Lord's Supper. The business of the Conference was finished on Tuesday night. The reports showed that $445.14 had been collected since the annual conference which convened here in October. Dr. Haigler spoke very highly of the work done by Rev. Gordon, the pastor, and the members of the church. A set of resolutions were read by Mr. W. B. Reed, which were adopted.* "CHARACTER BUILDING." Great Subject to be Discussed by Bishop Tyree at St John A. M. E. Church, Monday Night, JJanuary 27. You cannot afford to miss the opportunity to hear the lecture by Bishop Tyree on Monday night, January 27. The Negro is as great as any under the sun. Poets, painters, sculptors and men in every walk of life have been found among the sons of Ham, but it cannot be denied that there is need for sober reflection on the part of many among the race. The subject he will discuss is one that concerns every individual, and such instruction as Bishop Tyree will give cannot be learned without coming in contact with men of his experience and ability. The General Conference Committee of his church recently secured him to deliver a series of lectures in Norfolk and Portsmouth, solely because they believe he has the ability to draw larger audiences than any man in the African Methodist Church. Nashville citizens are proud of Bishop Evans Flyree and rejoice when the world recognizes his worth. He will preach at the same church Sunday morning at leven o'clock. * Mrs. Granberry, of Twelfth avenue, forth, continues quite sick.

Joe Walcott, who will soon begin his eighteenth year as a fighter, in which time he has engaged in more than 200 bouts, is ready for more bouts, and promises to be seen frequently in Philadelphia this winter. "I am not yet down and out," says Walcott. "I still claim the welterweight championship because I have never been defeated at 142 pounds, a weight I can easily make today. In my time I have met them all, from welterweights to heavyweights, and old Joe is still able to bring home the bacon. The fighters of nowadays have it easy compared to the way I fought all over the country, and many a time was chased from place to place by sheriffs, who would try to prevent my opponent and me from boxing. WHIPPED MANY HEAVYWEIGHTS "I whipped Creedon, Choynski, Australian Jimmy Ryan and many others, who had almost a foot advantage in height. I don't know how I did it, but I could always reach those tall fellows jaws. "The big men always used to think I would try for the stomach and let the head alone. When I fought Choynski in New York seven years ago, Choynski had been told that I would play for the body, and he practiced a great defense to defeat my attack. "When we got in the ring I made a left felt for the stomach, and Joe laughed, saying that I could never land. Before he had finished talking I crossed a hard right to the jaw, and Choynski fell to the floor. He got up, but I knocked him down again. CHOYNSKI FAILS IN DEFENSE. "The first time he was down 15 seconds and the second time 12 seconds, but they let the white man continue. I was sick at the time and couldn't finish Choynski in that round. In the seventh I got my man, and they stopped the bout to save a knockout. "The hardest blow I ever received was handed me by Mysterious Billy Smith in New York nine years ago. He drove a right to the jaw and I fell flat. I never realized a thing until I heard the referee count 'five.' I thought I was gone, but was able to get my feet at the count of nine. "Then I slipped to the floor purposely to take the count of nine again. posely to take the count of nine again. "When I got up once again the bell rang and the minute's rest put me right again. I then started in and punished Smith hard, but lost the decision because of the knockdowns. In another fight I whipped Smith, but I al- ```markdown ``` NEW FUNERAL CAR OF TAYLOR & CO. Popular Undertaking Concern Introduces the First of Its Kind in the South. One of the most beautiful sights ever seen in the city of Nashville and one of the best proofs that the Negro business men are as deeply interested in the progress of Greater Nashville as any class of business men located here, is the new funeral car recently put in service by the Taylor and Co. Undertaking Establishment. The car above represented was of the old-fashioned kind. The Morse top and the other changes that were necessary to give it its modern appearance were made by the Mitchell-Hunt Co., who were the first to do work of this kind in Nashville. Such work has been done heretofore out of the city, some times being sent as far away as Roch ester, New York. ```markdown ``` THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 24, 1908. ways considered him one of the strongest punchers I ever faced. DIDN'T DRAW COLOR LINE. "I wasn't troubled much by the color line in the earlier half of my career. In those days the public wouldn't stand for a quitter. The only men who wouldn't fight me were Jack McAulife and Tommy Ryan, but they gave other excuses. "I think that Jack Johnson is the greatest heavyweight in the world. I know what he can do, because he worked with me when I trained for my fight with Gans. We put on the gloves every day, and I gave him many pointers. You just bet he can step some." Walcott's face shows little effects of the hammering it has received from knuckles. Two years ago Joe had a quarrel at a dance, and he was shot through the right hand. The bullet went through the flesh and tore away the leaders of his third finger. He can't straighten out this member, yet withal he has scored several knockouts even with the damaged hand. Walcott is now only 35 years old, he having started in the game at the age of 17. MISS REBA JOHNSON ENTER- TAINS. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson was the scene of a lapp year party Thursday evening, January 9. The reception room was decorated with red and green.

NOTICE The J. P. M. Foreign Missionary Society will hold its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, January 27, at 8 p. m., in the office of Sunshine Home. Rev. S. E. Griggs will address the Society. I am sure he needs no introduction, for we know him to be one who can always interest you. All are cordially invited to be present. MISS M. E. COLEMAN Pres MISS S. E. MOORE. Sec. It is the first steel-gray car used in this section and is fitted up with purple interior trimmings. Mr. Preston Taylor, the manager of the Taylor & Co. Undertaking establishment, is one of Nashville's most progressive men. He was the first undertaker to conduct this from a residence building, and all of the leading undertakers have had to pattern after him. Mr. Taylor is always seeking the best to be had for his customers. He has recently had all of his rolling stock overhauled and put in the most modern style. His new garage, recently erected at an enormous outlay of money, has all the latest improved conveniences. Nothing is too costly when he decides that the services to be rendered the people demand it. He would willingly spend his last dollar to satisfy his patrons. Mr. Taylor be believes in having everything up-to-date. Nashville can well afford to be proud of this progressive citizen and business man. --- 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. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews. FOR FURTHER INFORMA- TION APPY TO THE National B. R. BRENTWOOD NOTES. Mr. Matthew McGavock, Jr., spent Sunday with his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew McGavock. Rev. E. F. Douglass, of the M. E. Mission Church, South Nashville, filled the pulpit for Rev. J. R. Reasonover at Brook's Chapel last Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev. Douglass delivered an excellent sermon. Rev. R. A. Dowell, of Gordon's Chapel, Nashville, brother-in-law of Rev. J. R. Reasonover, preached at 7:30 p. m. His sermon was an eloquent one. Rev. Reasonover is still confined to his bed. Rev. S. M. Utley, Presiding Elder of the West Nashville District, visited Rev. J. R. Reasonover last Sunday. Rev. R. A. Dowell will hold the Quarterly Conference for Presiding B Mr. Taylor is a busy man all the time and few men can conduct as many things at the same time as he and meet with like success. This fact is evidenced by the number of enterprises he is conducting now solely for the interest of the people. The two which stand out the most prominently are his cemetery and park. It takes only a glance to observe that Greenwood Cemetery is the most beautiful in the vicinity of Nashville. Not that there are more costly marble and granite monuments erected therein; far from that—for ninety-nine out of every hundred buried there are not able to purchase even a stone slab but Mr. Taylor has done with nature what the others have failed to do with wealth and nature combined. His park, while a new innovation, is destined to be the finest in the South. The Negro race and every progressive citizen of Nashville is proud that this man is on of the leading spirits of Nashville. Elder Utley next Saturday and Sunday at Brook's Chapel M. E. Church. Mr. G. W. Voorhies and Robert E. Johnson, the straw and hay merchants, are still bailing straw, and claim they have enough straw to keep them running until the new straw comes in. Mr. Alex. Rains is preparing to raise a large number of hogs, and his prospects are very bright. Miss Anna Belle Jennings, who has been quite sick, is improving. BRILLIANT AFFAIR. Mr. Eugene T. Page entertained on last Saturday evening the members of the Algonquin Club and their company at a progressive whist party given in honor of Mrs. Theodore Burgess, of Grand Rapids, MIch.

Mr. Page was assisted in receiving by his mother, Mrs. Page, and Miss Willie Hobbs Page. The guests' list was limited to the members of the club, of which Mr. Page is President, they in turn being allowed to select their own company. Others present were invited to fill the club vacancies. Seven tables were arranged to accommodate the players and after the game it was found that Miss Bryant and Mrs. Burgess had tied for the first prize offered the ladies. On a cut it fell to Miss Bryant, who presented it to the honoree. It was a beautiful calendar showing different scenes gathered from the Wigwam. The booby, a miniature cane chair with a cushion bottom, fell to Miss Bradford. Mr. Carter won the first prize for the men, a sterling silver match holder, and Mr. Wm. B. Davis received the booby, a cigarette holder filled with chocolate cigarettes. Scores were kept by Miss Page and Mrs. Hobbs.

Among the old fountains in the Temple Arena at Jerusalem one of finest is known as Bab Silsilea.
