TELLS OF HIS EARLY STRUGGLES TO LEARN TRADE. FIRST OF A SERIES OF ARTICLES IN SUNDAY SCHOOL MONITOR ON "DENOMINATIONAL PRINTING"—HAS BEEN A STUDENT OF THE ART PRESERVATIVE FROM BOYHOOD — SUFFERED MANY HARDSHIPS TO ACQUIRE A KNOWLEDGE OF THE ART OF PRINTING. When I was a boy about eight years of age, living on a farm a good many miles from any church, it was one of the greatest delights of my heart to romp the field and forest on Sundays in search of innocent pleasure. There were three brothers of us then at ages that called for these frolics, and other boys near enough to join us augmented the number to six or seven. And being boys we sometimes got into mischief that has not until this day been reported to our parents. But every Sunday morning after we had finished our breakfast, often consisting of gravy, corn cake and buttermilk, it was a rule of our invalid mother that we read a chapter in the Bible before marshalling our forces for our stroll through the fields and forests. The Bible was not incased in a morocco or leather binding, and many years of service had worn away the binding that it at one time possessed; if my memory serves me correctly the books of Genesis and Revelations were partly torn away; but there was enough left to furnish us a Scripture lesson for every Sunday in the year. I was the younger of three brothers still at home, and neither of us had ever been in a schoolhouse, but by persistent effort, mother had taught us to spell fairly well from an old "Blue Back Speller," as we styled the spelling book which was a great family asset. One of our companions, John Smith by name, had lived in town and had enjoyed the privilege of school opportunities, and in him mother found a ready helper in teaching us to spell the hard names in the Bible. I remember one December we were offered a prize of a whole "half moon" apple pie if we learned to spell Nebuchadnezzar by Christmas morning. I won mine, as did my other brothers, so we had a great feast that Christmas morning on fried pies. It was during those happy days that the fever to know how a book was printed came into my mind. Many hours I would sit and turn leaf after leaf, trying to solve the mysteries of the arrangement of the hundreds of pages in one book. It was clear enough to me how the letters on the first page were printed on one side of the leaf, but the more leaves I turned the deeper the mystery became as to how the words were gotten between the remaining hundreds of pages. I was anxious to know how any one could get between the close leaves and put the letters on. The more I thought about it the less I knew about it; but, nevertheless, I kept on thinking. The thought grew with me; but not until September, 1890, did I have an opportunity to walk into a printing office and put my hands on a printing press. I gained my first knowledge of the trade in the office of the "Nashville Tribune," a weekly newspaper then published in Nashville, Tenn. The first day I worked in that place I "kicked" off 1,500 cards on a job press, working all day without dinner. Just at quitting time a band passed which was a signal for me to strike out for a march. I forgot I was hungry and followed that band for over two miles. It made no difference whether I had a full stomach or an empty one, the band was playing and I was working in a printing office. As the time went on day by day the mysteries long pondered in my mind were little by little unraveled to me. They even showed me the "type lice." I remained with the Tribune Printing Company about six months and they made about six weekly payments during that time. But I hung on, hoping that a brighter day would dawn. Many were the cold wet nights that I would wade through NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1908 water over my shoe tops to get home. But I was concerned about the secrets of the art, and could not be satisfied elsewhere than in a printing office. In the spring of 1891, I left the Tribune and secured a position at the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union. Here I met two pioneers in the matter of putting young Negroes of the South in touch with modern printing methods in the persons of Dr. C. S. Smith, now Bishop Smith, and Mr. Chas. H. Burrill, a native of Providence, R. I. You are no doubt well acquainted with the great accomplishment achieved by Bishop Smith while he was Secretary of the Sunday School Union of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, but probably you do not know that he was the first man of the Negro race to successfully conduct a publishing house. This is nevertheless true. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. Practical Printer and Publisher, 1726 Jefferson Street, Nashville, Tenn. And as a pioneer he suffered more than pen will ever be able to write or tongue to tell. Mr. Chas. H. Burrill came South and labored for years to instil into the young Negroes the fundamental principles of the art of printing. He could have remained at his home with his family and among friends, but he realized that the harvest was ripe, waiting for reapers to reap. He can truly be called the "father of printing among Negroes in the South." I went into the duties of my new position with the same determination and anxiety that had always haunted me in the pursuit of my chosen profession, and soon I realized that a brighter day had dawned. I then got down to hard work, and for over seventeen years I have made a special, practical study of printing and publishing. I have seen many newspaper and job printing offices spring up, and many of them I have seen disappear into the shadow of utter failure. I have enjoyed the privilege to be associated with one or the other of the two largest printing concerns in the world conducted by Negroes, namely: the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church, and the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in Nashville, Tenn., and I am well acquainted with their struggles, and the many hardships and inconveniencies that have been endured to accomplish what has been achieved. The success of these two institutions has been marvelous when all things are taken into consideration, and in my discussions of our "Denominational Printing" I will endeavor to keep in mind what has been accomplished and what it cost in expenditures of money and sacrifices on the part of all who have been concerned. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is, without doubt, the most completely organized body of Negroes in the world, and as such must of necessity be expected to take the lead in everything that affects church work. And with our system of concentration it is possible for us to control more people in the same period of time than any other organization in the race of a like nature. We must admit, however, that the only way to do this is through the press, and in order that the press may be able to do the work successfully, it must be in trained hands. I want to talk to you about printing as an art, for it is an art, and has been fittingly styled the "Art Preservative." A man must be trained to print as he is trained to paint, and to be a successful printer and publisher he must have an adaptation to the trade. He must be practical. He must know why this thing or that should not be done and why a certain article should not be bought. He must know that some machines are made to sell and that they serve better as sellers than workers. He must know how to buy and manufac- (Continued on Page 5.) RESOLUTIONS FOR FORAKER Mass Meeting at Payne Chapel Wednesday Night UNSTINTED IN ITS PRAISE FOR THE OHIO SENATOR. CONSIDER HIM THE STAUNCHEST FRIEND THE NEGRO HAS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY—WILLING TO GO DOWN IN DEFEAT UNDER HIS BANNER—RECENT CONVENTION RIDICULED—MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE NASHVILLE'S NEGRO VOTERS. What shall be the Negro's position in politics, is the question that is seriously agitating the Negro mind in this city; and Wednesday night at Payne's Chapel A. M. E. Church, the second meeting was held to discuss the conditions as they now exist. Resolutions were adopted endorsing Foraker of Ohio for President, though it was the unanimous opinion that he had no chance for the nomination. Foraker is recognized as the friend of the Negro, the man of principle, the candidate who dared to do right, to stand up for and recognize his friends, and the resolution was adopted to say to him by this action that the Negroes appreciated his past work and would go down to defeat with him. But perhaps the most important result of the meeting, if the plans are carried out, will be the effect on local politics and municipal government. The real interest of the meeting was centered in state more than national, and municipal rather than state government. Speakers declared that the Negro is grossly abused in Nashville. He is insulted by street car conductors, villified by policemen and his rights at all times trampled on The recent Republican convention came in for its share of ridicule. The speakers emphasized the fact they do not care anything about the Negro, but ride him to death with whip and spur. The opinion seemed to prevail that it would be better to vote for a decent Democrat any time than the kind of men who make up the Southern Republican party. In speaking of the convention, the way delegates were selected was ridiculed. After the passage of the resolution endorsing Senator Foraker, it was decided at an early date to appoint committees to work up the organization. The plan is to work each ward over and try to get every Negro possible to register, pay his poll tax and vote. As an argument for the Negro organizing, attention was called to the fact that the Irish organize. "When an Irishman comes over from the old country, the first thing he sees is a blue coat with brass buttons. He fixes his long eyes on a policeman's uniform, and the next thing you know he is in one," said another speaker. The only opposition to Senator Foraker in the assembly was from Hon. J. C. Nabier. He spoke in the highest manner of him, but insisted that he had no chance, and that the Negro should fall in line with the Republican party and go for Taft in order that they might be in position to demand something. But the others cried him down. Principle was what they wanted. The following is the resolution as adopted: "Whereas, This government needs at its head a wise and safe leader, one who stands for fair play to man as man; one who pleads the cause of the weak as well as the strong, and is ever ready to probe into, ransack and ventilate abominable crimes such as the dismissing 'without honor' of the Negroes in the army at Brownsville, Tex.; one who stands for right and justice, and caters to no section of the country or clique of men. "Be it Resolved. That we go on record as preferring Senator J. B. Foraker, the best posted statesman of the age, as the next President of the United States. "Resolved. That we do whatever is legitimate to secure his nomination and election." "Resolved. That we endorse the manly stand taken by him in the Brownsville affair, in which he has proved conclusively the innocence of the Negro soldiers. Respectfully, SPEAKERS OF THE EVENING The speakers of the evening were Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Lawyer R. L. Mayfield, Hon. J. C. Napier, Col. A. N. Johnson and Rev. Wm. Flagg, Rev. Flagg might well be styled the orator of the evening. It is predicted that much good will result from this meeting. It is believed that the Negroes of Nashville will awaken to a sense of their duty, pay their taxes and vote. PROVIDENT BANK AND TRUST COMPANY. The First Negro Bank in the State of Texas—Located at Ft. Worth. Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 11, 1908.—The directors of the Provident Bank & Trust Company, the first bank in the State of Texas owned and controlled by Negroes, recently issued its semi-annual statement. It demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt the Negro's executive ability when coupled with patience and courage along the lines of financial endeavor. Foremost in the promotion of this institution was Mr. M, K. Mackey, a successful cotton dealer of that city, who after seeking the influence of some of the best professional and business men of Fort Worth, succeeded in interesting them in the promotion of a bank. He and others put their heads together and organized. They secured the aid and influence of Mr. R. C. Houston, Mr. President of the local Negro Business League, which body was unanimous in its decision that a Negro bank in this city was timely and they pledged their support for its promotion. Mr. Houston readily joined the movement and after hard and zealous efforts, sufficient stock was subscribed for and they became convinced that the bank was a possibility. On July 3, 1907, the stockholders elected the following officers: R. C. Houston, Jr., President; Dr. F. W. Adams, First Vice President; M. W. Watkins, Second Vice President, and S. P. Allen, Cashier. The officers and directors at once put forth every effort to secure ample stock upon which to operate. July 24, 1907 marked the initial day of Texas' Negroes in banking business, its first deposit being 6.00. When the bank's statement was rendered last it had received on deposit $46,291.87. General Usefulness. The bank was organized to come to the rescue of the laboring man and woman, the professional man and woman and the Negro business man and woman. It now has loans to the amount of $4,675.82. The bank has been an inspiration to the people in general, beginning at the school room, it has convinced the public that it is capable of serving them in any capacity that such an institution may require. Its officers and directors have visited the laboring man in the ditch, the washerwoman at her tub, and have talked to them in a business way to save their money and invest a small share of their earnings in the bank. They have done effective work. On one occasion an elderly gentleman, who receives a pension from the Government, came to the President in his private office and gave him $75.00, saying, "Take this money on deposit; I would have been a hundred dollars better off if this institution had been going a year ago." The bank has on deposit 90 per cent of the money of the secret fraternities of Fort Worth and through the solicitations and inducement offered by its President is in line for the State Treasury of a number of the Grand Lodges of Texas. The Trust Department. By a recent act of the Board of Directors it was decided to put common stock on the market to develop the real estate department. The money coming in from the sale of this stock has been invested to improve valuable real estate property of Fort Worth. GROCERY STORE DESTROYED. Fire completely destroyed the grocery store of Messrs. Cotton & Overton last Monday morning at 3:30. The frame structure at the corner of Twelfth avenue, South, and Edgehill street, caught and before the fire department could reach the scene the building was almost gone. The building and goods were insured. REAL ESTATE. Mr. Robt. A. Jones to Mr. A. Cheat ham, 25 feet on north side of Patter son street, $950.00. No. 4. ORGANIZED BY MRS. C. S. SMITH IN THE A. M. E. PUBLISHING HOUSE ON PUBLIC SQUARE—MUCH HELP HAS BEEN RENDERED TO THE POOR—DONATIONS FOR MISSIONS IN AFRICA—PLANS ON FOOT TO PURCHASE A PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOME. So many ask, What has the Phyllis Wheatley Club done? This club was organized thirteen years ago at the A. M. E. Sunday School Union by Mrs. C. S. Smith, and it has worked and helped in many ways. During Mrs. Smith's time as president the club did work among the sick, the poor, the unfortunate, and the aged. There was never a time that a needy person called at the Union, the home of the president, or at the home of Mrs. Lewis Winter, the chairman of the charitable department, but that the desired help was received. The poor in all parts of the city looked to this club as their friend in need. Well packed baskets were sent out regularly from the Union to a number of needy families. Sometimes during the year the club has had at its disposal bread, hats, shoes, rubbers, etc., kindly given by stores through the influence of Mrs. Smith and other ladies of the club. These things were divided equally to the poor of East, West, North and South Nashville and sent out by different club committees. All over the city the Phyllis Wheatley Club has sent light, help and cheer. Under Mrs. Smith the club gave a substantial financial aid to the home kept by Miss Baker, then a worker among the colored children. The club's work has not all been along the line of giving financial aid, but has given prayers, comfort, sympathy and cheer. There was a time when one of our boys was arrested and almost sent to the gallows. A committee of Phyllis Wheatley ladies, with Mrs. Lewis Winter as chairman, went to see the parents of the girl, the preacher of the family, the doctor, the lawyers and up into the legislative halls, to see the governor of the state and to make intercession for the boy. By this effort of the club ladies and others, the poor unfortunate boy was sent to prison instead of to the gallows. A very important affair under Mrs. Smith was the entertainment of the National Federation of Women by the Phyllis Wheatley Club. There had never been a time when so many distinguished colored women were entertained in Nashville by a club of colored women. Great colored women were here and great papers were read, and bright, useful, wise and intelligent ideas were interchanged. When the time came for Mrs. Smith to sever her connection with us, as she must go to her new field of work, many were the prayers that went up in the homes of the poor of this city, that God bless and keep her, and bless and prosper the Phyllis Wheatley Club. Mrs. G. M. Shelton was our second president. Under her we became more specific in our work, and took a room in the Mercy Hospital to be known as the Phyllis Wheatley Room. We furnished this room and took much pride in seeing after it. The Phyllis Wheatley room was the prettiest in Mercy Hospital. Mrs. Shelton always had on hand something given by some of the stores, for the colored poor. The club had on hand at one time three hundred hats. These were distributed equally to those needing hats in the different parts of the city. Under Mrs. Shelton the club sent Miss Emma J. Terry, then our secretary, to Buffalo, N. Y., to represent us in the National Federation. We were ably and grandly represented and delighted with the new ideas and inspiration that she brought back to us. The Phyllis Wheatley Club held the medal of the National Federation for two years which was a great honor. Mrs. Shelton moved to Chicago and again the club had to say goodbye to its presi COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER.

With much reluctance Mrs. Tyree's resignation was received. She felt that she could not give us so much of her time, as she expected to visit the different conferences of her husband, the Right Bishop E. Tyree. Mrs. G. M. Taylor was chosen as our fourth president. With Mrs. Taylor came the idea of getting some kind of a Phyllis Wheatley Home. The ladies concurred in this movement and the work at Mercy Hospital was discontinued and the club which had been holding its meetings at Mercy Hospital began to meet at the homes of the different members.

The thought of a home is still in the minds and hearts of the ladies. The Club is still very friendly to Mercy Hospital and will always feel an interest in its welfare. The Walden fire occurred during Mrs. Taylor's time and the Club contributed ten dollars to the relief of the sufferers. Mrs. Taylor declined renomination and Mrs. G. L. Jackson was chosen the fifth president. For the first time in the history of the Phyllis Wheatley Club we have a small bank account, having deposited at one time $68.00 in the Penny Savings Bank. It is the hope of the Club to have sufficient means on hand to make a payment on a home at an early date. THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels. 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.

Mrs. Ellen Tyree succeeded Mrs. Shelton. With Mrs. Tyree as president the club's work at Mercy Hospital grew and flourished. The ladies went to work with a will and many a bolt of domestic was bought and made up into garments for the slick. The Phyllis Wheatley Day was designated and on that day many useful and sometimes valuable gifts were brought by the members and friends of the club. Some afternoons the ladies would meet there and cut out and make garments, others would take some pieces home to make and to get other friends to help. We had a very nice room and a good supply of the equipments of a room. It was under Mrs. Tyree's administration that the Phyllis Wheatley Club served the dinner so generously given to one hundred poor colored children by the Manix Dry Goods Company. This dinner was a great success and everybody present enjoyed it. The children were very thankful to the donor and to the Phyllis Wheatley Club for serving it so tastefully and so bountifully. Under Mrs. Tyree more interest was taken in the work and more done for Mercy Hospital by the Club than ever before.

Two committees are now out and it is expected of them to bring in reports at this coming meeting. Last summer the Club sent a box and $5.00 to Africa to a teacher of a girl's school there. A very interesting letter with thanks has been received. The Club has several departments—Temperance, Social Purity, Educational, Charitable, Mothers' Department, Literary and Industrial. Some of the best women of our race are heads of these departments. In fact, all the ladies of the Club are trying to lift as they climb, and we ask the support of interested women from all parts of the city to join us in helping us to lift ignorance, poverty, misery and crime from the unfortunate among our people. We hope to have a home bearing our name and motto. ALGONQUIN OFFICERS ENTER TAINED. Mrs. T. R. Crutcher, of 1610 Philips street, entertained the officers of the Algonquin Club at dinner Sunday in honor of her son, Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher. Those partaking of Mrs. Crutcher's hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. Young and the following officers of the Club: Mr. E. T. Pase, President; Mr. Wm. D. Boger, Vice President; J. O. Battle, Secretary; D. Wesley Crutcher, Treasurer. MEETING OF NEGRO BANKERS. An important meeting of the Negro Bankers' Association is to be held in Memphis, Tenn., on February 3 and 4. This meeting will no doubt have a larger significance than any other ever held in the United States in recent years. The fact that Negro banks are springing up all over the United States means that the people are handling thousands of dollars every month through their own institutions and that there are still hundreds of thousands of dollars that might be handled in a way that would give a better financial rating to the race. One of the leading men and one of the prompters of this meeting is Rev. Dr. W. R. Pettiford, President of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, who is in point of service the oldest Negro bank president in the United States. In a recent conversation with a representative of The Globe, who was in Birmingham this week, Dr. Pettiford stated that one of his plans was to so organize the Negro banks that they would be in a position to control the money handled by our people. "It must be done in a systematic way," said Dr. Pettiford, "and it can be done." continued he, "with the greatest results." He also agreed and encouraged the idea advanced by The Globe in carrying a financial column in its paper. He believed that it would be a great advantage to the institution as well as to the public. At the Memphis meeting it is expected that there will be representatives from thirty-five Newer banking institutions in the United States.

FOLK SONG CANTATA. The Date for "Out of the Depths" Changed to Wednesday, Feb. 19 Changed to Wednesday, Feb. 19. It was given out this week that the proposed repetition of "Out of the Depths," the popular folk song cantata by the Work Brothers, which was to have been repeated at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Monday night, February 3, has been postponed. The management of the cantata, Mr. McIntyre, and the Superintendent of Mt. Olive Sunday School, Mr. J. E. Hurt, both stated to a Globe representative that there were two important reasons for changing the date. The first being the fact that Prof. Fred Work is always out of the city on Monday at Jackson, Tenn., and the second being the shortness of time for rehearsing. "Knowing that there would be a large, intelligent and appreciative audience to witness the reproduction of this cantata, we wanted to be in better form than before, because at the last entertainment quite a number of the leading singers were suffering with colds," said Mr. McIntyre. The arrangements as perfected in details, are as follows: The date of the affair is February, 19, which is Wednesday. The place: the main auditorium of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The admission fee has been fixed at the small sum of fifteen cents. It is expected that hundreds of tickets will be sold and not less than 1,500 admission fees will be chalked off on that night, as the entertainment is given especially for the benefit of the Sunday school. The program will be practically the same as that rendered at Fisk University, with the exception of a few additional new songs from Cole & Johnson, that Prof. McIntyre has received recently. * DAY HOME Mrs. J. C. Napier, President of the Day Home, requests all members to meet her at her residence, Capitol Square, Wednesday, February 5, at 8 o'clock, instead of at 10 o'clock Day Home. BETHEL. Rev. E. W. S. Hammonds, Dean of the Theological Department of Walden, will preach here Sunday, February 2 at 11 a. m. Rev. Mr. Hammonds is classed with the educated Negroes of the world and his sermon is sure to prove beneficial. The Sunday school, too, expects to share his instructions. A hearty invitation is extended to all to enjoy this treat.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1908. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. That was a trying ordeal the children went through last week, the semi-annual examination and gradation of pupils. The questions came down from the Fogg High School red hot. The science questions were the hottest. Some of the pupils got so badly scorched that it will take them another five months under Dr. Cameron to get well. Only four pupils in the entire Science Department received a Roll of Honor mark. The list below is self-explanatory. Eleven pupils enjoyed the proud distinction of graduating from the High School and twenty-six from the Grammar School. The school was favored this week with a visit from Mrs. J. A. Davis and her accomplished daughter, Miss Flossie A. Davis, who is both a graduate of the High School and of the Normal Department of Fisk University. The capacity of the school is now taxed to its uttermost limit. The hall up stairs and down stairs is full to overflowing and the High School floor looks very grand with every seat occupied. Prof. F. G. Smith, the principal, informed a Globe reporter that it is imperative that the children who want seats should keep in good health and attend regularly, as those who sit in chairs and on the laps of desks are simply waiting for some one to drop out that they may take his seat.

WILLING WORKERS. What seemed to be the most delightful meeting of the Willing Workers Club of Kayne Avenue Baptist Church was the one held with Miss A. L. Morton at the residence of Mrs. Jno. Moore, of Eleventh avenue, South. The main business of the evening was the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, A. L. Anderson; Vice President, J. K. Campbell; Secretary, Miss A. L. Morton; Treasurer, Mrs. O. W. Stokes. After the transaction of other important business Miss Morton proceeded to serve the members and visiting friends with refreshments consisting of ices, fruits, etc. The club was also favored with some very instructive and encouraging addresses by members. Those present were Rev. J. C. Lott pastor; A. L. Anderson, president; Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Maddox, Miss Lucy A. Donaldson, Miss Mamie Drake, Mrs. Jno. Moore, Miss Minerva Sumner, Miss Lizzie Vaulx, Misses I. May and Alice Smith, Mrs. Millard Smith, _____, Messrs. Jno. Fllening and Silas Ferguson. The next meeting will be on Monday evening with Mr. W. S. Amos, Archey avenue. BADLY BURNED. Miss Florence Taggett, a young lady about 16 years old, was badly burned Tuesday morning at her home, No. 76 Claiborne street. She was standing in front of the grate when her dress caught fire and was burned from her body before the flames could be extinguished by those who came to her relief. The young lady received serious injuries on her back and arms, but it is not thought they will prove fatal, although at the time of this writing she is suffering excruciating pains. OTHER BOYS ARE MAKING MONEY Every boy likes to have money in his pocket. Sometimes he is ashamed to ask papa for it, because he knows papa will say he don't need any money.

Call at the office of JAMES McGOODE'S LETTER TO NASHVILLE GLOBE. Jan. 27, 1908. Centlemen—I beg leave to ask you, please give me a small space in your paper. I count it a great honor as well as a very great pleasure to notify the public of the fact, that I represent one of the largest coal companies in the city, and will deliver any one coal to their residence anywhere in the city at the market prices. In addition to this, I will sell small quantities, fifty cents, one dollar and up. You will save money if you will place your orders with me. I will give you my word and honor and will assure you if you follow after the above outline many homes will be made happy. Remember, neighbor, i represent the colored race, and there is not a single one that lives in the state of Tennessee owns a coal mine. I will repeat no, not one, and it is to your interest for some one to carefully look after your welfare, especially when we will have to look to the white man for aid along this line. Coal weighs eighty pounds to the bushel, and twenty-five bushels of coal mean two thousand pounds in weight, and numbers of time when you purchase your coal from various places, you only get twenty-one and twenty-three bushels, and even if you get as much as twenty-four bushels, at that rate you can plainly see that you are deprived of eighty pounds of coal, which mean one bushel. There are four things I desire to say to any one that is willing to trust me: First, it is my duty to see that the wagon that delivers coal to your residence is properly weighed; second, I will see that all of the fine slack, iron ore and rocks are carefully picked out of your coal; third, when you go to a white company you only ask the price of the coal and then you immediately pay the white man for it, not knowing the condition of your coal until it is delivered to your residence. Fourth, why not come to my office and pay the same money you pay the white man? If you decide to come and be convinced, it will not be long until you will soon discover your wide mistakes that you have been making for these many years. I deliver all wholesale orders with the companied wagons which I represent. Yours very truly. The well-known wholesale coal dealer, office 409 Eighth avenue, North. --- FRANKLIN NOTES Mr. James Church and Ostranda Williams were in Nashville Tuesday on business. The members of the V. P.

Joe looked like a Bermuda millionaire in his fur-lined coat and diamond-studded tie. "I want to say," began Gans after sitting down, "that I'm back in the ring. I've changed my mind about giving up that championship. I thought for a while that I'd have to sit back and take it easy because there wasn't anyone for me to fight, but I see that McFarland is coming up and that Nelson has beaten somebody and wants to fight me again. So here I am." "Are you tired of the rest?" was asked. "Yes, sir," said Gans. "I thought I'd like it, but I find I like the game a little better. I'd rather fight than lay off, if there is only somebody for me to fight. Jeffries and I have the same trouble. Jeff can't get matches because he is so big and strong. I can't get anyone to fight me in my class because I have too much knowledge of the game. I'm the only one left of the old-timers who is still in good fighting shape. "There aren't any great fighters now-a-days. Why, when I was doing my hardest fighting the fighters outclassed the boys you see now. There aren't any McFaddens or Hawkinses or Ernes or Walcotts or Fitzsimmons now. They've all gone by and there ain't any new ones in their class. But there ain't any reason for me to stop fighting as long as I can get any one to fight. I'm still at my best. I never felt any pains. My hands are good. And I know more than any of these new fellows. You can gamble when I feel age coming along I'm not going to stay in the ring and get beaten up like some of these fellows. I won't need to. "I have earned $81,000 in the past sixteen months, and I haven't thrown it away. I've got a good hotel and the best cafe in Baltimore, and I own every bit of it. It's mine. No liquor company is behind me. I've put my money in property, where it'll always make a living for me. I've only done done foolish thing. I thought I'd be swell, and have an auto like the rest of the millionaires. It cost me $52,000, and if I keep on running into things I guess the repair bills will put me down and out. It's being repaired in the factory now. "I used to rush to the race track right after every fight and throw my earnings away on the ponies. I didn't lose much playing craps, as they say. It was always the horses that got mine. The last time I got trimmed for $15,000 in a few days. I had given all my money to my mother to take care of, and I had to go to her for the $15,000. I made up my mind to quit right then. They keep after me now wherever I go, but the bookies won't get any more of mine. Nobody living can beat that game."

THE SNAP CONVENTION Regardless of what the distinguished gentleman may think who took The Globe to task in the County Republican Convention, for the article which appeared in these columns last week, we have no apologies to offer nor has any one been authorized to speak for The Globe concerning the said article. We want to reiterate what we said and add something to it. It is not our desire to become mixed in any factional fight in the republican party, but we want to see the affairs of the party so conducted that the members of the same will have some say as to who shall be its representatives in its conventions. The time has passed when men with convictions as to what is right, men who have sense enough to see through such miserable trickery as that used in the naming of the delegates to the convention held last week, can be silenced by claiming that their public objections to snap methods is hurting the race. If there is any one thing that has made Roosevelt pre-eminent as a leader of his party, it is the recognition by a large majority of the people that back of his actions, hasty or otherwise, there is an honesty of purpose that cannot be impeached. It is the desire that this honesty be made manifest in dealing with the rank and file of the party in Davidson County by those who endorse Roosevelt which has caused us to speak out in what we hope were terms that cannot be mistaken. We have no excuses to offer for what we have said and we want that thoroughly understood. Nor will we enter into a discussion with the white gentleman who is to benefit by the snap convention as to whether our expose of the trickery by which the illegal convention was made possible, will hurt the race, for we don't care to argue about or wrangle with any one over such buncombe as that contained in his speech. If the condemnation of dishonest methods is to hurt the race in the estimation of those who assume the responsibility, for trickery, the sooner such a consummation is brought about the better it will be for all concerned. But, so far as we have been able to learn, all of the speakers dodged the main question at issue. Each one very carefully avoided the main question, that of whether the Davidson County executive committee had a right to call the convention to order before the state executive committee had decided that there was to be a state convention. Each speaker failed to state what was his opinion of the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY. JANUARY 31. 1908. county committee's assumption that it was a body that possessed co-ordinate powers with those of the state committee. Each speaker forgot to mention why almost all of the committee's actions happened at a season so convenient as to prevent a publication of the same in the only republican papers of the county so that the voters might be made aware of the program to be followed and each flew off at a tangent discussing such irrelevant things as whether the publication of articles in this paper are hurting the race and the personnel of the ownership of the paper. We were convinced when we took exceptions to the actions of the county executive committee, that our opinion was right and our conviction that the manipulations were for the purpose of stifling an expression of the will of the whole party is confirmed as more and more the secret workings of the committee leak out. And, as words of commendation come to us from almost every ward in the city and most of the districts we are more thoroughly satisfied that we represent the sentiment of a majority of the republican voters in the county. Further, be it said for the information of those high in the councils of the party that these commendations come from men who, like The Globe, have not linked their fortune, as it were, with any faction of the party, but from citizens who are averse to being engaged in any factional bickerings and mud-slinging which will make impossible the success of the Grand Old Party in this state, yet believe with all their hearts and souls in honest methods and the square deal. If by questionable methods, the right to express their opinions is denied them and the same is upheld by the state convention, it is more than possible that they will go outside of the party to rebuke those in control, who if not guilty of the acts themselves, at least acquired in the execution of them. This for the party's welfare, would be unfortunate. The chances for a republican victory in this state have never been so bright since the memorable Evans Turney contest, when the democrats as now were divided by factional fight and fair dealing should be the rule in order that the party may present a united front. THE NORTHERN NEGRO. Mr. Ray Stannard Baker, who wrote so entertainingly and with such a freedom from bias on the Negro Question is it applied to the South last year, has begun another series in The American Magazine, the first of which appears in the February issue. In this series he deals with the Negro Question as it appears at the North. Mr. Baker as in his former articles does not attempt to state his opinion, but to give the facts as he finds there, presenting the views of all concern and leaves it for the reader to draw his conclusions. As in his articles on the South, Mr. Baker does not fail to mention the bright side of the Negro's life nor does he fail to point out the dark side—those weak places which are playing havoc with the race in the city. He shows how the color line is gradually being drawn in the North and why, and exhibits the frightful mortality sustained by the race in the Northern cities. Some things he says do not make such pleasant reading, but in the main are true not only in the North, but here in the South, among the urban population. Mr. Baker's articles, like the previous series, deserve a wide reading and if they are digested by the American people as a whole, much good will come to the American Negro. TAFT AND HIS SUPPORTERS TAFT AND HIS SUPPORTERS. Those of the race who are in public life and have expressed a preference for Judge Taft, usually apologize for their position or for some of their candidate's previous actions. They would be for some one else if that one had a chance to secure the nomination and, besides, did not Judge Taft hold up the Prownsville order for one or two days! They assume the same position in favoring Taft that the Secretary of War does towards the Southern Ne- gro and the disfranchisement laws in some of the states. Mr. Taft would be for us if we had a ghost of a chance. Here is an excerpt from his famous Tuskegee speech: "When a class of persons is so ignorant and so subject to oppression and misleading that they are merely political children, not having the mental status of manhood, then it can hardly be said that their voice in the Government secures any benefit to them." It would seem from this that though Mr. Taft is for us, we "are merely political children, not having the mental status of manhood," and the Government is free to do anything it pleases with us. Throw innocent men out of the army, upset the very foundation of English and American Jurisprudence—that all men are assumed innocent until proven guilty; what does it matter, our voice secures us no benefit. Taft seemed to have predicted the position of the present administration before the Brownsville raid occurred. "Taft is the administration's candidate and the other fellows have no chance," is the sentiment expressed by some who admit that they prefer another candidate. Supose Taft falls to get the nomination even with all the mighty influence of the administration brought to bear to secure Southern delegates? Tennessee needs to go slow. Uninstructed delegates should be sent to the National Convention. The announcement that Fisk University is to be the recipient of $20,000 from Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of erecting a library is one that will cause general satisfaction to the people of this city. Mr. Carnegie recently said in an address before an English audience that "the problem was not what to do with the Negro, but how can we get more Negroes." The gift to Fisk and the donation also of $200,000 for the establishment of a school in Kentucky as a part of Berea College, modeled after Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes, shows that the great philanthropist believes in the future of the race. The "Night Riders" continue their nefarious work of burning and despoiling the property of those who do not side with them in the black tobacco regions. At Clarksville the other day a dose of the right kind of medicine was administered when two men who were attempting to dynamite a tobacco warehouse were killed by the guards. Strange to say, though no one knows who compose the "Night Riders," yet the members of the Association, according to a local paper, state positively that these Negroes were neither Night Riders nor were they hired by the "Night Riders!" What will come as a pleasing announcement to the "Afro-Americans" of the country is that notice that on February first Timothy Thomas Fortune, one of the foremost editors of the country will begin the publication of The Freeman, a magazine of opinions. The magazine will be issued from the office in New York that was for so long a time the scene of the distinguished editor's labors. The Voice of The Negro has been silenced for good but the former editor remains in the journalistic realm. Mr. Barber is now editor of the Chicago Conservator. COMMUNICATION. Give the Negro a Chance. The blackman should have a chance is the way Gov. Hughes, of New York, put it in a recent speech delivered at Carnegie Hall in that city in the interest of Tuskegee Industrial Institute. Such a broad-minded utterance, coming from such a man as Gov. Hughes, and at such a time as this, is indeed encouraging to the race that is struggling onward and upward against the greatest possible odds. No people in the world's history were ever called upon to contend against such deep-rooted prejudice as the Negro people of this country. The fight made upon them is not because they are so vile, not because they are so ignorant, not because they are so unprovident, not because they are less D. A. DORTCH.

This is no reason, or rather it is an insane reason for doing all manner of wild and oppressive things to impede the progress of a people who are making the greatest efforts to rise on the steppingstones of their dead selves to higher, nobler and grander things. They are asking no favors other than those accorded to men of other races. The primary traits of character of the Negro are no lower than those of any other race, no matter what is said or may be said to the contrary notwithstanding. Gov. Hughes says that the blackman should be given a chance. Henry Watterson, the greatest of Southern journalists, says, "I want nothing for myself, or for my children, which I am not ready to give to my colored neighbor and his children." This is not only a beautiful sentiment, but a manly utterance of a broad and liberal declaration of the doctrine of the mutual interdependence that should exist between the races for the common good of a common country. In short, it was Mr. Watterson's happy way of interpreting the beautiful scriptural sentiment that all men should do unto their neighbors as they would have their neighbors do unto them. No man in the whole country is more conversant with every phase of Negro history than Mr. Watterson. He knew the Negro in ante bellum days and he has known him through all of his years of freedom, this has given him ample opportunity for observing him under both conditions, that of slavery and that of freedom. Now after nearly a half century of keen observation this man who has done so much in making sentiment and building up wholesome respect for his beloved Southland, stands up and says to all the world that the Negro, whose story is interwoven with that of the South, has done well and should be proud of his own achievements. Mr. Watterson says substantially what Gov. Hughes says, what Mr. Andrew Carnegie says, what Ambassador Bryce says and what many other strong and conscientious men say that the Negro should be given a chance. Such words of encouragement coming from such men and at such a time are indeed a happy omen and augur much for the future of the Negro. Although he has struggled on in the face of the most ominous unrest and condition, yet he cannot but feel the exhilarating effects of this friendly sympathy. It foretells that the sky is clearing and a new era is dawning for him. JADECEE. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL. A large number of pupils was in attendance Sunday morning. The classes were well represented. Several teachers were absent owing to sickness and other unavoidable causes.

There Were Many Safeguards, but Still the Customer Kicked. From the New York Sun: "This towel," said the attendant to the patron, "has been subjected to extreme heat, and is thoroughly sterilized." "Good" commended the patron. "We take every precaution against exposing our patrons to infection or contagion. This soap," continued the attendant, "has been debacterialized, and the comb and brush are thoroughly antisepticized." "Glad to hear it," said the patron. "The chair in which you sit has a daily bath in bichloride of mercury and its cushions are baked in an oven heated to 187 degrees, which is guaranteed to destroy any bacillus that happens to be present." "The razor and the lather brush are boiled before being used, and the lather cup is dry heated until there is not the slightest possibility of any germs clinging to it." "Fine." "The hot water with which the lather is mixed is always double heated and sprayed with a germicide, besides being filtered and distilled." "A wise precaution." "Even the floor and the ceiling and the walls and the furniture are antiseptically treated every day; and all change handed out to our customers is first wiped with antiseptic gauze. The shoe polish at the bootblack chair is boiled, then frozen, and the——" "Say," observed the patron, who had been sitting wrapped in the germ proof towel all this time, "why don't you go ahead and shave me?

Herman Tyree, is confined to his bed, stating that the young man was much better. The Bishop was very much wrought up over the illness of his son, and at one time thought that he would have to cancel his engagements and go to Texas to look after him. But upon being assured by Mrs. Tyree that Rev. Herman was out of danger, he left Thursday morning for Norfolk, Va., from which point he will circle around to nearby cities and deliver a series of lectures. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES.

Voorhees, one of Nashville's leading dentists, has moved from the Pythian Temple, on North Fifth avenue, to $410\frac{1}{2}$ Cedar street, over Gary's Grocery. Dr. Voorhees is one of the foremost dentists in the South. He graduated from the Dental Department of Meharry Medical College several years ago, after which he took a post-course in one of the leading colleges in this country. He is among that class of young men which believes in being progressive, and is therefore a constant student. His parlors are fitted up with the most modern appliances which enable him to give the very best service. No one dreads to go to Dr. Voorhees a second time, for he so skillfully handles his patients that all fear of having to endure the severe pains incident to extracting teeth or performing other dental work is removed after the first visit. The people delight to call Main 2703, and make engagements with him, for they know what kind of service he will render. PLEASURABLE EVENING Miss Mamie Davis entertained a number of friends on January 23, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Tate, 1509 Pearl street.

Watkins, Carter Reed, George Reed. Mrs. John Tate received the guests. Games and dancing were indulged in. A delicious menu was served. DEATH RELIEVES HER SUFFERING Lynnville, Tenn., Jan. 29.—(Special)—Miss Orvella Mitchell, of Bivins, Tenn., who was so horribly burned last Monday afternoon, died Wednesday night. She suffered the most excruciating pain for nearly twenty-four hours. Miss Mitchell was a young woman of sterling character. She was in the bloom of life, and was highly respected and loved by all who knew her. Death came as a relief from the severe pains she had suffered. GUILTY IN SIX CASES. The trial of Edgar Butler, which was taken up in the Criminal Court on Monday, came to an end on Tuesday, there being a verdict of guilty in six cases, and four months in the workhouse in each case. Butler and Quintard Courtney were charged with systematically robbing gas meters. Courtney made a confession, saying that Butler had a key which would open the meters, and said that he had made the key. The amount secured was small. CLEMENCY EXERCISED BY GOV. PATTerson. Gov. Patterson exercised clemency in two cases Wednesday, both of which involved minor offenses, although one was aggravated to such an extent that the sentences imposed upon the prisoner aggregated about ten years. This was the case of Lawrence Cullum, a Negro convicted for petit larceny and carrying a pistol by the Davidson Criminal Court in September, 1902. He was found guilty of larceny in nine cases and was sentenced to eleven months and twenty-nine days in the workhouse for each. He was also fined $50 for carrying a pistol. Cullum's application for clemency was recommended by the County Judge and the workhouse Commissioners, who stated that this man had served over five years in the workhouse; that he had made an excellent prisoner, has been diligent and faithful in all duties assigned to him, and they feel that common justice and the cause of humanity demand that he be pardoned. He also has to pay $169 costs. He was pardoned of the remainder of the sentences and relieved of the $50 fine. WILL WEIGH MAIL Preliminary to Letting Contract for Next Four Years. Preliminary to the letting of the Government contract for mail haulage for the next four years to the railroads carrying it from Nashville, inspectors of the Railway Postal Service will, on Feb. 11, begin weighing the daily tonnage so as to ascertain the probable average during the life of the contract.

Boger, a member of the Nashville mail service, will weigh on one of the fast trains running between this city and Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Boger was recently operated on for appendicitis but is out again and will be able to resume his duties at the time as stated above. ELOQUENT ADDRESS Rev. G. B. Imes, of the Howard Congregational Church, addressed the Y. M. C. A. of Meharry last Sunday afternoon. His subject was the "Black Man's Burden." He impressed the audience with the responsibility that rested on their shoulders.

ABRAHAMS' SHOE STORE 335 on the Square Next to Transfer Station. CLARKSVILLE NOTES. Leap year scored another victory in the matrimonial line last Sunday afternoon, when Miss Nann'e Smith, a winsome Miss, led captive to the hymeneal altar, one Anthony Stoner. The event was solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents and the ceremony performed by Rev. Mr. Pettus, who in his usual style tied the nuptial knot that breaketh not. Cupid's darts are finding receptive victims, and no doubt at the beginning of the summer season the list will be longer. With Tennyson's famous "Charge of the Light Brigade" in mind a resume shows that Mr. and Mrs. Sam Steele took the initiative step, followed closely by the Hamilton-Harrison marriage last Sunday week, and if rumors are true a fourth will be added next Sunday. "Dead men tell no tales," is an old saying, and the deplorable affair of last Tuesday night in which two boys were killed is now a closed book. The incipient warfare between the Equity Society and tobacco companies of the Dark Tobacco District has caused strong guards to be placed in and around all independent factories and warehouses. Whether the two boys were active members of the Night Riders' band, passive workers, employees or innocent passers-by will never be known. So far Kentucky, the storm center of active tobacco warfare, is only accredited with destruction of property. If coming events cast their shadows, then politics in Clarksville, Montgomery County and the Sixth Congressional District will be of the lurid kind. Montgomery county, which produced such a stalwart republican as the late lamented G. Q. Boyd, retains that spirit of demanding fair play for the colored electors as of old. Representation as delegate to the National Convention from this the Sixth Congressional District should by right go to the colored republicans who constitute a majority of the voters. Clarksville and Montgomery County hold the key to the situation and stand ready to nominate a colored man as delegate to the National Convention The residence of W. T. McRae, East Main street, was discovered in flames by a neighbor last Wednesday night, and by time the fire department arrived the fire had gained such headway that the attention of the firemen was given to the adjacent property. A small insurance was carried. Jenkins & Cole, proprietors of the Central Meat Market, have had installed in their place of business one of Brecht's refrigerators of the latest pattern. These enterprising business men are now in position to supply the demands of their increasing trade. "Ethiopian Pressing Club" is the latest business addition to this city, Blacking, pressing, cleaning hats and general tailoring work are their specialties. Messrs. Roberts and Coldwell are the proprietors. Ladies' Embroidery Art Club gave a benefit at the residence of Mrs. Reid Smith for Mrs. W. T. McRae, who suffered losses from the fire Wednesday night. Simple services were held at the funeral of Mrs. Allie Barton, which took place from Ebenezer A. M. E. Church GET The Nashville Globe FREE! Read Our Three Liberal Offers. 1.

Rickman, of Templow, Tenn., has the largest enrollment of its history, numbering one hundred forty-six, and will likely reach two hundred and twenty. Prof. Rickman is proving himself to be a teacher of unusual ability. The people are well pleased with him as principal. There will be five candidates for graduation from the English Department. Rev. P. H. Ruffin is very much interested in the school and spares no pains in seeing that everything is carried out pleasantly to the satisfaction of all concerned. Alexander Chapel, under the pastorate of Rev. J. H. Thompson, B. D., is moving along pleasantly and progressively. Rev. Mr. Thompson, a young man of unusual ability, has proven to be a power in the pulpit, a man of sound judgment, a logical reasoner, and one who can carry the people against their own will. In fact, he is one of the ablest pastors of the West Tennessee District. Rev. J. H. Thompson and Prof. W. T. Rickman were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith last Sunday. Miss Lizzie Marbrey, who has been visiting her mother in Memphis, for the last ten days, returned last Sunday evening. Mrs. J. M.

Milton Easterling, of Chattanooga, Grand Lecturer of the K. of P., was here last week on official business. 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 INFORMATION APPY TO THE National Rev. J. B. Bronaugh, pastor of First Howard, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, in his revival efforts. Mrs. Rosie Green, of South Glade street, is quite sick.
