THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they mustle while they wait"—Charles W Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. VOL. III. HEARS THIS ELOQUENT AND FORGEFUL SPEAKER. DRAWS SUBLIME PICTURE OF THE LIFE OF A MAN—YOUTH IS THE SEEDTIME OF LIFE—CHRISTIAN MEN THE NOBLEST MEN OF EARTH—MORAL LAWS AND PHYSICAL LAWS GOVERN THE UNIVERSE—EVERY MAN OUGHT TO LIVE OUT HIS THREE SCORE YEARS AND TEN—A STRONG PLEA FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HEALTH. By request, Dr. Townsend addressed the Y. M. C. A. of Meharry Medical College last Sunday afternoon, in his characteristically eloquent manner. He said in part as follows: "It is always a source of great pleasure to me to be extended the priviledge to greet you and speak to you as a body of young associated Christian men. Young Men's Christian Association to me is vast and significant in its meaning. First, to be a young man is a coveted station. Youth is the most important period of life. It is the time of activity, the time of development of powers of mind, soul and muscle; the time of accomplishment of feats of strength; the time of struggle; the time to exercise bravery. Just as the beauty of summer, the fruitfulness of autumn and the support of winter depend upon spring, so the happiness, wisdom and plety of middle life and old age, depend upon youth. Youth is the seed time of life. If the farmer does not plow his land and plant the seed in spring, it will be to late afterwards. So if we, while young, neglect to cultivate our hearts and minds by sowing the seeds of knowledge and virtue, our future lives will be ignorant, vicious wretched and woeful. "After all, my friends, it is well to be a young Christian man. God has a claim to our first and principal attention, and religion demands the morning of our days; and the first season, the spring of our lives: before we are encumbered by cares, distressed by afflictions, or engaged in business or practice of medicine, if you please, it becomes us to resign our souls to God. Perhaps you may live for many years; then you will be happy in possessing knowledge and piety and be enabled to do good to others; but if, just as youth is beginning to show its buds and blossoms, the flower should be snapped from its stalk by the rude hand of Death, O how important it is that it be transplanted from earth to flourish forever at the foot of the Tree of Life, and beside the waters of the River of Life in heaven. 'I want to emphasize the term 'Christian men.' For Christian men are noble men; men honor them; the world honors them; they are examples to the weak; they create an epidemic of nobleness; they may be the leaders of a forlorn hope; vet. if they are Christian men, men will follow them. Neither in the world's history has there been a time when men—men of principle, men of firmness, men of strong well-vertebrated character, were more needed than now. To that absolute and total destitution of interest in minds of the masses, touching matters of their eternal welfare, is superadded the influence of pernicious social customs and institutions, that are surely dragging the young men downward in the pathway of darkness. In this life we are the subjects of allurements that shine forth with the brilliancy of phosphorescent decay: we are surrounded by subtle agencies and evil influences; the death beyond is hidden by an embodied veil and gorgeous tapestry and the entrance to the path that leads to you miserable shame is covered with beautiful flowers. Let me congratulate you upon the interest you manifest in Y. M. C. A. work and the interest you have in the welfare of those about you Noble work! If you save men, the nation is saved. The standard of morality is raised and the general health of the community is promoted. The work of Y. M. C. A. is to elevate not only NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908. ) Above is the likeness of Dr. A. M. Townsend, who was born in Winchester, Tenn., October 26, 1875. He is the son of Rev. D. A. Townsend, who is a alumnus of Roger Williams University and a prominent educator and Baptist minister of this State. Dr. Townsend received his rudimentary education in the public school of Winchester, under the tutorage of his father. In the fall of 1892, he entered Roger Williams University and graduated from its classical course in 1898. In 1902, he graduated with honors from the Medical Department of Meharry Medical College, being the valedictorian of a class of 56. Since that time he has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine in this city and has taken rank among the leading physicians. He enjoys a large lucrative practice, owns an interest in a well stocked and up and by his gentle b conscientious servi trons, has won for and security. Dr. Townsend hares along material uable property one of the city. He is lodge affairs, as wcles generally. He Medical Registrar, Pythias, of Tenne Pathology and Ma harry Medical Co Staff Mercy Hospit Wilson Infirmary; State Medical Ass of Board of Trustiams University prominent offices, Pythians, Masons spiritually, but morally, socially and physically. "My friends, if God has given you any physical beauty, any social grace, any force of character, any intellectual power, any little influence in this world of ours, it is that you may guard them well and use all in His service and for His glory. Furthermore, if you do not use God's gifts, but employ them to feed your own vanity and to increase your own pleasures or indeed simply to forget that they were given to you for a great purpose, you not only waste them, but miss the end for which you are born, and never in any sense even begin to live the life which is life indeed. In the study of living organisms, we have to consider two factors: the living organism and its surroundings or environments. An organism which is suited to its surroundings and readily reacts to changes in the surroundings in such manner as to prolong its own existence, is said to be healthy. Any departure from the normal response to the conditions of these surroundings produces what we call disease. "Disease is divided into two classes: (1) Those arising out of defects in the original constitution of the individual, or hereditary disease; (2) Those produced by abnormal or hurtful external circumstances, or acquired disease. As in normal development, certain parts of the body manifest their inherited tendencies many years after birth—so inherited tendencies to disease may not show themselves until late in life, as in case of cancer of the breast in the female. It is possible also that in many cases the same unrecognized conditions which induced in parent the morbid tendency, continue to act on the offspring—with or without some obvious cause—until the disease be comes evident. "Disease for the most part is not transmitted, but the tendency. We cannot say when this tendency to disease begins; it may have been slowly gaining strength for generations. For instance, suppose my grandmother had cancer, which is a hereditary disease, and my mother did not have it, though she lived well past the age at which such disease usually manifests itself; it shows simply that the cause was met by greater resistance, or that the cause had not acted long enough, or with sufficient energy to produce it. Now in my sister, or if not in her, in some of her descendants (Continued on Page 6.) well stocked and up-to-date drug store, and by his gentle bearing, and honest, conscientious service to all his patrons, has won for himself confidence and security. Dr. Townsend has made rapid progress along material lines and owns valuable property on prominent streets of the city. He is very prominent in lodge affairs, as well as in social circles generally. He is now the grand Medical Registrar of the Knights of Pythias, of Tennessee; Professor of Pathology and Materia Medica at Mearhy Medical College; Member of Staff Mercy Hospital; Secretary of The Wilson Infirmary; Secretary of the State Medical Association; Treasurer of Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University; besides holding prominent offices in local lodges of Pythians, Masons and Odd Fellows. A. M. E. CHURCH PRINTING SIFTED Second of a Series of Articles by D.A.Hart, Published in the Sunday School Montior. PERPETUATION OF THE CHURCH DEMANDS A PRINTING HOUSE MORE PRINTING FOR CHURCHES THAN ANY OTHER PURPOSE AMONG NEGROES—WORK HINDERED BY TOO MANY PRINTING CONCERNS—MONEY FOR RENT GOING OUT OF THE CHURCH CENTRALIZATION THE KEY NOTE TO SUCCESS. In a preceding article I stated that in this issue of the Monitor I would talk to you about the printing interests of our Church, and would endeavor to point out to you some of the hindrances that stand in the way and retard our progress in the dissemination of eager ears all over this country and in other countries that are open daily listening for words of enlightenment that they feel should be sent forth by the sons of Allen. The fathers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church realized from the beginning, no doubt, that the fostering of church work effectively depended largely upon the printing house, and they will never, perhaps, be given the credit due them for what they have accomplished. Nevertheless, they have held on, and for over fifty years have conducted a printing house in some form. The losses have been great, and at times it has no doubt appeared that it would be impossible to keep the doors open, but the "Book Concern" of the A. M. E. Church is still a reality in some shape, form or fashion. The perpetuation of the church demanded and still demands, and more so now than ever, that a printing house be maintained. It might well be said that from a material point of view, the denominational printing press is the hub of the church, and it is an undeniable fact that religious societies the world over have prospered in proportion to the efficiency of their publishing concerns. The church printing houses have always taken the lead in spreading truth to the masses, and the day was when they were largely looked to for everything that amounted to much in the way of books, magazines and newspapers. It is also true in this day that the only printing concerns conducted by Negroes that have reached positions of respectability are those fostered by the religious denominations. This is due to the fact that the demand for religious books, magazines and newspapers is greater among our people than the demand for commercial printing. You ask why is this so; simply because as a race the Negroes own more churches than commercial enterprises. There are four church publishing houses conducted by Negroes in the South, and not one of them could keep open six weeks if they had to depend exclusively upon the revenue derived from printing other than that done for their respective denominations. But, fortunately, the church and Sunday school printing in any of the four concerns in mind, namely the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union and the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in Nashville, Tenn., the C. M. E. Publishing House, in Jackson, Tenn., and the A. M. E. Zion Publishing House in Charlotte, N. C., are all kept busy attending to the printing and binding of books and Sunday school literature for their respective denominations. And with all of their facilities they cannot print one-tenth of the books bought by the members of the churches that support these institutions. The Negro of the twentieth century is fast learning that everything he reads in books, magazines and newspapers is not true, and he is learning, further, that Negroes can best write for Negroes, and will come nearer telling the truth on his brother than will those who have not that same feeling of brotherly love toward him. He reads the daily paper, and finds columns about some large Negro gathering that has been in session; but he is better satisfied after he reads one-half a column in the little Negro weekly that comes to him after all the delegates have been home for several days. Another thing he is learning is the difference between patient and original matter; and he is learning that some authors write things to print in periodicals and books published to teach Christianity that would make bad reading in a dime novel. He is, therefore, crying out for a wholesome literature that will enlighten him, and that he can put beside that published by other nationalities and say with assurance "This is my authority. Dr. Solomon and Prof. Johnson were men of strong character and ability. I can rely on what they say. They spent so many and so many years searching out this or that, and were recognized by the world as among the foremost writers of their day." I want to impress upon your minds one fact, and that is, it takes many years to reach this degree of prominence in the art of printing to be able to cope with the leaders in this race to create the sentiment of the world, but I hold that the A. M. E. Church, by virtue of seniority, ought to be expected to take the lead in this race so far as the American Negro is concerned. Is there anything in the way to impede her progress? I contend that there is. What are these hindrances, and is there a remedy? I will endeavor to point them out to you between now and the first Monday in May, in order that when we meet in Norfolk we may be acquainted with the facts. Suppose I draw in your mind an imaginary map on which you can locate the departments of our church that require an amount of printing to warrant consideration. We will start with the oldest in the connection which is the Book Concern in Philadelphia, Pa., in the eastern part of our country, and far removed from a large majority of the membership of the Church. Not one in a thousand have ever seen it. Next, we will mention the Foreign Mission department, located in New York City, farther still from a central point. Then we have the Allen Christian Endeavor Denarment, located in Jacksonville, Fla. Next, fix in your mind the Southern Christian Recorder, located in Columbus, Ga., and, fifth, the giant printing house in the connection, the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union located in Nashville, Tenn. These five departments use the bulk of the (Continued on Page 3.) No. 5. MOUND BAYOU SCENE OF MUCH ACTIVITY FOR TWO DAYS. PRESIDENT PETTIFORD OF ALABAMA PENNY SAVINGS BANK, PRINCIPAL SPEAKER--MEETING FOR PURPOSE OF CREATING FRIENDLY FEELING AMONG NEGRO BANKERS TO BE ENCOURAGED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BY MEMBERS OF THE RACE ALL DELEGATES REPORT GOOD BUSINESS, AND OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. Mound Bayou, Miss., Feb. 7.—The Annual Convention of the State Bankers' Association of this state is in session here to-day in this picturesque and characteristic city. There are representatives from nearly every Negro bank in the state either by delegate or by proxy. The object of the meeting seems to be to promote banking interest throughout Mississippi in particular and the United States in general. The principal speaker and visitor of the occasion is W. R. Pettiford, who is president of the Alabama Penny Saving and Loan Company, of Birmingham, and who is president of the National Negro Bankers Association, supervisor and organizer of banks in the United States among Negroes. The Association is the guest of the bank of Mound Bayou, M. R. Francis, President; P. Chas. Banks, Cashier. The meeting will close to-morrow after a session of two days for 1908. Dr Pettiford addressed the Association this morning. He said in part: "No class of men in the civic walks of life ever had richer opportunities than those who are connected with the Negro banks. Not so much because of your chance to make money exceeding that of your class of men in other races, but because of the great need of help among the people you are serving. Your people need instruction in business art, in order to make them producers as well as consumers. By your assistance, they will increase the volume of wealth to the race as well as the banks. Your opportunities are rich, because all classes of your people, the farmer, the business man and laborer can be helped by you. "Again, your relations to the country carry with them the deepest interest, because your work as bankers is not only to lift a great race of people to a higher state of civilization, but you are to prove to the world that your people have the happy combination of intellectual and moral abilities, together with frugality and industry to run banks; which calls into play the best qualities of mankind in any race. Should you succeed in your undertaking, and I have no doubt you will, you will become among the kings and princes of the race. You will find yourselves so connected with all classes of business and every character of endeavor, that you are important factors in the capacity of helping that which looks toward the progress of your race. You will really be when you fill your proper place—the heart of the prosperity of the Negroes of your State. The farmer, the merchant, the lumberman, common labor and domestics, all have occasion to call on the bankers. Since this is the place where the money of the population is aggregated, and that the savings account as well as the business money is in the hands of the bankers, it is expected that all classes of your citizens will come to you when in need of funds. Your position not only gives them a claim upon your institution to assist them financially, but when wise considered, it makes it the business of the bankers to assist every class of business in his State. So, if it should turn out that you should in crease the holdings of various classes of business, the usefulness of the bank will be proportionately increased. "For this reason, I call on you, gentlemen, to consider closely the following lessons that should be taught to your citizens. They may here, also, that this duty tending to bring COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER. NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD, 523 SECOND AVENUE, NORTH, increase their opportunities for income. "Mr. Chairman, a great deal of the poor lands of your State can be raised to a high state of cultivation by wise and thoughtful management so that they can be productive of great wealth among our people. The new methods of farming and caring for lands, is an art that the association ought to see is put in the hands of the Negro people. If you can start the Negro people in the way of creating wealth at first hand, then it is with them to administer their wealth to the uplift of others. It is the first step at independence. If the products of the farmers of Mississippi were owned by the colored people, you would see a material difference in the banks as well as the business institutions among us. This is a point, sir, that you cannot press with too much diligence. There is a great profit, also, to be derived by being careful in not buying more land than can be easily paid for. It will pay your association to enter thoroughly into this work of giving these lessons in enabling your men to form companies and buy these large plantations and sub-divide them, and raise them to a high state of cultivation. In this way you will be helping the white people in enriching this country and making yourselves larger taxpayers. And should their wealth continue on the increase, it is in the hands of those who can manage it to the interest of your people. "And in turning from the thought, I beg you not to think that it is outside of your interests to assist by your influence and otherwise in teaching your people these valuable lessons, for it will return to you in good coin. The bankers association of this State can well afford to give some attention to the farming element, in seeing that the very best methods of farming are developed and the products wisely handled. The uneducated farmer is often found living on rich land and the land refusing to contribute to his wealth, because he has not employed such methods nor handled the products thereof in such a manner as to contribute to the betterment of the lands. Nor is it out of place for the banker to be thus engaged, for this association can bring itself in such close touch with the farmer through such intelligent processes that they will see how to follow up the products of their farm, in properly husbanding the cotton seed out of which they make cotton seed meal and oil, and follow the cotton into thread and cloth and get a profit at every point of its exchange. If you can properly teach such lessons, you will have in a few years an increase in the aggregated wealth of your citizenship which will help them to a position of independence. "Mr. Chairman, it is not too far out of place to commence making preparation for owning steamboats plying the waters of the Mississippi and adjacent rivers, handling the product and getting the largest amount of profit from such labors. In other words, my advice to you, as bankers, a body of intelligent, thoughtful and energetic men, who are sincerely interested in the uplift of your people, is to cultivate and increase all of these agencies as resources to your business, and in so doing you will sustain such a relation to them that the profits ac 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. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL OR WRITE THE CHURCH SUPPLY DEPARTMENT before you, is depending upon you as intelligent and thrifty men more than it does upon your class of men in the other race, because of the very great need of such service existing among our people. "In my judgment, it will be well for this association to hold semi-annual instead of annual meetings, for the reason that your association should have ni connection with it at some time during its session mass meetings in which there should be given specific instructions in those things in which the masses are interested. It would make the banks feel that they were akin to the people, and the people would feel that the bank was their institution, giving instruction as well as receiving money. I mean to say by this statement that the Bankers Association should lead in having meetings where discussions could be had for the benefit of the people. "It is the bank's duty as well as it is to its interest to encourage in all cities and towns business organizations, such as grocery stores, drug stores, lumber yards, hardware stores, shoe companies, and anything which offers to supply the people with the commodities of life, provided they can be sufficiently patronized by white and colored to continue in existence. This will do three things: I. It will teach the art of handling business. II. It will aggregate wealth under the control of Negroes and give standing to the race. III. In these institutions the thoughtful and wise element of the race is brought in contact with the thoughtless and careless of our people, which is the strongest appeal you can make to them for their good. The banker may feel that after he has spent time and sometimes money to get these business institutions organized they may carry their money to other people. This may be so in the commencement, but in the long run, the colored banks, if they are conveniently located, will be the beneficiaries of these businesses. By all means, you want to convince all classes of your population that the banks exist for all the business elements of our people. This association will find itself very much helped if it will engage from time to time to teach the importance of owning lands. A great number of our people has not as yet arrived at a point in their growth to realize the importance of buying lands, whether it be city property, or farm and timber lands. You can appreciate more than the average minds, who are making money, the importance of becoming akin to the world in which you live by owning lands, even if it be poor, if it is susceptible of being raised to a high state of cultivation. Landowners of our race make us more substantial citizens and help to strengthen our report in the Census. If a man is capable of owning land and increase in his accumulation, it demonstrates that he is capable of growing in civilization and being benefited thereby. If our people can be led to see the opportunities that they now have in buying up the lauds through your state or the South, it will help very materially in giving them a share in the management of the State as well as THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908 A QUARDRUPLE-PLATED COMMUNION SET. 2 Plates, 2 Goblets, 1 Quart Flagon. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. cruing therefrom will be mutually helpful to both. "The Bankers' Association of Mississippi has an opportunity of leading the effort that will not only enrich the various institutions under your control, but also increase the holdings of your individual members and will make them a blessing to their communities. I refer particularly to the art of saving. Gentlemen, to teach the art of saving requires a great deal of sacrifice on your part. It requires work night and day; the making of talks and addresses by yourself and your friends and the distribution of well-selected literature, in order that you may construct such a sentiment among the Negro people that they will be forced to acknowledge you are not only their friend but that you are teaching lessons that will redound to the good of the Negro race. A great amount of literature should be distributed among your people, impressing them from every standpoint on saving their earnings and aggregating their wealth and putting it where it will be a blessing to all of their people. "It is a very easy matter for bankers to make mistakes in not spending money for the purpose of teaching these lessons. You will often find the short-sighted members of your association saying that they cannot afford to spend money to print literature and scatter it around permiscuously. But, my experience for eighteen years has taught me that if you have a favorable history behind you, you cannot be too diligent in keeping your business before the people for your good and their own benefit. If they become owners of large amounts, the bank will enjoy the privilege of controlling the major part of it. "And, now, gentlemen, in closing my remarks, I will simply say that I have tried to call your attention to some things that many people would not consider to be in line with the banking business. But I take the position, sir, that if your people grow wealthy in the line of any endeavor, it will directly or indirectly contribute to the possessions of the banks; and if you can make your institutions agencies in giving instructions akin to those to which I have hinted in this address, by the very principles and system of reciprocity, the people of any line of business, realizing that you are their friend and you considering them your friends, will unconsciously contribute to the development of your business. These business institutions, including your banks, furnish an opportunity for the intelligent, thoughtful and thrifty classes to reach out and interest the thoughtless and spendthrift of the race and administer to their welfare. I cannot urge you too strongly to assist the organized enterprises of the race; for by assisting them you thus make them agencies through which you get to the wayward, the spendthrift of the race and help them in the higher ways of life."

The Ladies' Time Improvement Sewing Circle held a meeting a few days ago at the residence of Mrs. Pearlie Jackson, 1018 Sixteenth avenue, North, which proved to be one of the most delightful meetings of the season. The members have succeeded in arousing deep interest in the work of the circle and this fact was evidenced at the recent meeting. After an hour had been profitably spent a neat sum was collected for the benefit of the circle. Ices, cake and fruit were served. Those present were Mrs. Simmie Irvin, Mrs. Maggie Allison, Mrs. Henrietta Ransom, Mrs. Carrie Dickson, Mrs. Josie Ransom, Mrs. Lizzie Cheatham, Mrs. Lizzie Wyatt, Mrs. Pearlie Jackson and Mrs. Annie Young. SANS SOUCI CLUB. The Sans Souci Club, composed of the young men of the Freshman class in Pharmacy of Meharry Medical College, gave an initial social last Friday evening, January 31, at the home of Mrs. Settles on Eighth avenue, North. The reception room was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The guests began to arrive at 8:45. The ladies attired in evening gowns, presented quite a picturesque scene. Music and games were the features of the evening and at a late hour refreshments were served. Those present were D. B. Blackman, G. C. Towlkes, Miss Estella Campbell, R. L. Peters, P. C.

C. Webb and Miss Nola Bass. Miss Bass entered attended by her sister, Miss Lula Bass, who was maid of honor. Mr. Webb entered, attended by Mr. S. Shannon as best man, after which the ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. Gordon of St. John A. M. E. Church. The bride was beautiful in a gown of white satin with lace trimmings. Her bouquet was of white carnations and her only jewel was a solitaire diamond ring, a gift from the groom. The maid of honor was charming in a mulle with lace trimmings over a foundation of blue. Her bouquet was pink carnations. Each guest was served punch on entering and after the ceremony cake and brick cream were in abundance. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Beulah Jackson, Mrs. Mangrum and Mrs. Peacock. The presents were many and useful and bespoke the high esteem in which the bride and groom are held. Mr. and Mrs. Webb will reside at their cozy home, 919 Jackson street. MARRIAGES. Devit Wherry and Mattie Bell Maoney. Arthur Scales and Sadie Faulkner. Grisby Holt and Daisy Lee Harper.

GLOBE HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. Elects Officers for 1908. At the last annual meeting of the Globe Publishing Company, at which the annual reports of all the officers were made, and the year’s report was carefully gone over, it was decided that for 1908 The Nashville Globe would be run on the same wideawake, journalistic basis as in the past two years, except that more mprovements would be made, In President Battle’s annual ad- dress he went over the entire two years’ work. He complimented every feature of the work from the agency department to the management. He made some very strong recommenda- tions that were needful and that will be immediately put into operation, His address covered the social, polit- ical, business and economic life of the Company. It described in particular the position that the Globe should take on all public affairs and questions. The Secretary in his annual report was equally alert in his suggestions and recommendations, The manager declared that the sub- scription list of the Globe had been doubled in the past twelve months, which is evidence conclusive that Nashville is proud of the Globe, ac- cepting it as a Godsend and as the organ of the people, The Treasurer in bis annual report gave an itemized account of all re- ceipts and ‘expenditures, showing that 1907 had been an encouraging year for the business. After some new recommendations, which were made in the President's address; had been’ adopted, the follow- ing officers were elected for twelve months: J. O. Battle, President and Editor; C, H. Burrill, Secretary; H. A. Boyd, Treasurer; D, A, Hart, Busi- ness Manager. The agents and the Globe force, consisting of the clerks, etc. remain for the present as they were in 1907, The price of the Globe was changed from fifteen cents per month to forty cents per quarter, or $1.50 per year. ‘The Manager stated that the advertis- ing rate would of necessity be ad- vanced to conform to the increased circulation of the paper. The many encouraging letters and remarks, and the general attitude of the public towards the Nashville Globe were discussed at the annual meeting, and the developments in the past twelve months have fully con- vinced the Company that the Nash- ville Globe has tended to serve the Negro citizens of Nashville, acting in all cases as the voice of the people, The most prominent and leading cit- izens in every walk of life have from the very beginning of the publication looked upon it as a medium through which their views could be expressed, and looked at it as a giant for the right. The Manager stated in his re- marks that this was thoroughly dem- onstrated from the way the back sub- scriptions had been sent in by mail and from the way the new subserip- tions have been coming in. The new features that are to be put into operation concerning the publish- ing of the Globe will be mentioned from time to time through its columns LOOKING FOR RELATIVES, A letter received from Kingsbury, Texas, contains a request that will possibly be of some interest to some one in Nashville. The letter comes from Mr, Martin Lucas, who is now in Texas. It seems that Mr. Lucas some years ago lived in Tennessee and was associated in the army with George Rosh, Charley Andrews and Nathan Andrews. He does not state, however, what regiment he belonged to. He had a sister whose name was Agnes Volks whose husband was named Archie, Any information that will lead up to the whereabouts of any of the above nanied parties, should be sent to Mr. Martin Lucas, R. F. D. No. 1, Kingsbury, Texas. eg DR. E. A. WILLIAMS IN THE CITY. Nashville was honored last week with a visit from Dr EB. A. Willams, of Cincinnati, Dr. Williams is one of the prominent secret order leaders in the race, He has held many promi- nent positions, He is a Past Supreme Chancellor K. of P., Past Grand Mas: ter of Masons of the State of Louisi- ana, and for many years publisher of the Southwestern Christian Recorder. At present he is President of the ‘Knights of Honor of the World Sav- ings Bank, which is located at Green- ville, Miss. Dr. Williams is also the Supreme Dictator and Protector of the Kuights of Honor and Knights of La- bor of the World, with headquarters in Cincinnati, It is understood that Dr. Williams was here on official business connected with the Order and to visit the office of the Supreme Secretary and Treas- urer, which is -being filled by Miss Fimma Joe Cockrill, Miss Cockrill is just entering upon the duties of this important office, which is a worthy ‘veeognition of Nashville and her abil- ity, as this department of the wor! alone handled last year more than rE = 3 WHY. DON’T YOU ? 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. Often you don’t need it, but you want it just the same. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE has made it possible for any boy who has a will to work an hour or so each day can make his own money. If you sell 100 copies of THE GLOBE you will have $2.50. If you sell 50 copies of THE GLOBE you will have $1.25. It is EASY MONEY--Come and get it boys.

Dr. Williams stated to a Globe re- Lorter that he was just visiting Nash- ville to see the city and its people; Lut it comes from other, sources that his visit was for the purpose of help- ing to locate the office held by Miss “ockrill.

The Willing Workers of Kayne Ave bue Baptist Church held their regu- lur weekly meeting on Monday night vt the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Amos. An extra large number was cut despite the low temperature. A scod lot of business was transacted. One of the most interesting topics dis- cussed was the preparation for the cel- eration of the third anniversary of the club, which will be held on the 5th Sunday in March. Short but appro- propriate addresses were made by Rev. J. C, Lott, pastor; A. L, Anderson, President; Deacon 0, W, Stokes and W. S. Amos, superintendent of Sunday school. After the transaction of all business Mr. and Mrs, Amos invited the mem- hers into the dining-room, where there was a large table beautifully spread with white linen and appropriately dec- orated, upon which was served an ap- ‘«tizing two-course menu. Those present were Rey. J. C. Lott, pastor; A. L, Anderson, president; Mr, ind Mrs. W. S, Amos, Mr. and Mrs, P. A Simm, Jr., Misses A. L, Morton and (Minnie Simms, J. K. Campbell, 0. W. Stokes and J.

Fire Saturday night completely destroyed a house and its con- tents in the rear of 1616 Patter- gon street. The occupants, who had only been living there a short vhile, were away from home, and the fire was discovered by neighbors.

(Continued from: Page 1.) printing that is to be done for the Church, Draw your map well and study it carefully. Fix the distance between these departments. You say they are all independent. So is every state in the Union, but each one is rep- resented at the central government by a few chosen men. And before these special agents can accomplish their work they must unite their forces. The government could not afford to maintain a congressional hall in every state, and could never pass a bill, for it would require all the time of each session for the reading clerk to go from state to state and read the presi- ‘dent's message. And the main trou- ble with our printing as a denomina- tion is it is too scattered, There is not enough printing in the Church to maintain five establishments on a profitable basis, True all of them are not attempting to conduct a printing house, but each of the departments referred to must have an office, And of the five only two are located in buildings that belong to the church, ‘Therefore, three are paying rent to some one, and this works a hardship on the Church and the departments as well. ‘ Would you have a central building and locate all of these departments: in it? Yes. Would you require the manager of this central building to furnish these departments quarters free? No; not. if they are to conduct a separate business. Then how would it help the Con- nection and the departments? The Connection would receive the rent money that is now being paid to outside parties. The departments could be housed cheaper in one build- ing than they can be in five separate buildings. Where would you locate this build- ing? In Nashville, Tenn. Why would you select that city? First, because it is the most cen- trally located among the membership of our Connection? Secondly, because there are more church printing houses located in that city than any in the South. These institutions are of great help to each other in more ways than space will admit me to mention here, but suffice to say that their work is of kindred natures and a friendliness exists be- tween them all seldom seen among manufacturing concerns, Does it cost any more to mail a package from Philadelphia or New York to San Francisco than it , does from Nashville? No; but it does cost more to ship the same package by express, and it requires more time to send it by mail or express. Mme ic a factor in esromsbthine—esl in the profits of any publishing eon: cern, and still the concern that does not answer these complaints will soon realize a falling off in receipts. We will take one item of expense connected with this feature which cannot be eliminated from the cost. A two-cent stamp is required to trans- mit a letter, no matter how far or how near. Suppose there were two hun- dred complaints to four of these de- partments each month it would mean a monthly expenditure of $32.00 for Stamps alone or an annual expendi- ture of $384.00. If we estimate that the cost of stationery, such as envel- opes, letterheads, ete., and labor would amount to two cents per letter, we have an annual expenditure of $768.00 for answering complaints. Half of this amount must be expended by the department and an equal amount by the churches. It means $768.00 spent that could be devoted to the dissemina- tion of literature, tracts and Bibles to needy communities thereby say- ing the souls of men. But, I dare Say any one of our printing depart- ments spends more each month than I have calculated. This expense can be greatly reduced by centralization, the system that is being seriously consid- ered by all church organizations. the place where the money of the popu- havo in connection with it at some ELABORATE DINNER. ™r, and Mrs, Charles Cotton, of Fogg street, entertained Tuesday night a ‘imited number of friends in honor of his sister, Mrs, Addie Cotton MeMay, of St, Louis, Mrsi Cotton was assisted n receiving by Mrs. A.

The Cotton home, which is prettiy furnished, was more Leantiful with its decorations of au- tumn leaves, ferns and potted plants throughout. the reception hall, parlor and dining-room. The table was beau- tful with its white silk mull cover, with lace edging over pink satin upon which was a cut glass vase of cut flowers on a arge battenberg center- mece. The table was decorated with sinilax vines, which extended around the vase of flowers to each corner, Salted almonds were placed in paper cups that formed red roses and mint candy was in a silver tray with pink “bbon and other confections which imitated wide streamers of white and green ribbon. The whole reception was a picture of beauty. Mrs, MeMay wore a white brocade satin and a necklace of diamonds and other costly jewels.

DIVINE POWERS OF ROOSEVELT. "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons."—Acts 10:34. "We act in no vindictive spirit, and we are no respecter of persons."—President Roosevelt in his special message to Congress. God is no respecter of persons. Roosevelt is no respecter of persons. Since things equal to the same thing are equal to each other then Roosevelt must be a god. Therefore, being a god, Roosevelt possesses divine powers to "dismiss without honor," abuse without license and break any precedent of mere mortal man! Quod erat demonstrandum! THE VOICE OF JACOB. With all the fervor of a band of Dervishes following fanatically where ever their leaders direct, the members of the premature county convention with almost unanimity proclaim, "slept on their rights." The leaders—or some of the lesser lights in the political firmament, nebula, as it were—waxed eloquent in their effort by oratorical flights to dodge the issue that the convention was born ahead of its time. But, granting that the majority of the republican voters of the county, uninformed as to the program laid down by the executive committee, because all of its the public movements of the committee were so timed as to prevent the publication of their conclusions in any republican paper of the county, did sleep upon their rights, does that relieve the committee of the odium of exceeding its rights? Again, the irregular convention—irregular, in the first place, because the act that brought it into being was irregular—instructed delegates to the state convention before the State Executive Committee has decided what shall be the basis of representation in the state convention It would appear that even those who have been orating upon the delectable theme, "Slept upon their rights," have been asleep themselves and allowed some one to play the David-Esau act upon the whole convention. We can not believe that the Davidson County Convention nor the Robinson County Convention which met on the same date, endorse disfranchisement of the Negro, yet both of the bodies endorsed Mr. J. H. Early for Governor. Mr. Early's position on this question ought to have been known by the convention. For the benefit of those who are unacquainted with Mr. Early's record we quote the following associated press dispatch sent from Chattanooga August 5, 1906: THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908. of that party, a strong movement has been started for an educational qualification which will result in the disfranchisement of the Negro. The movement was started by a signed statement of Chairman John Early and an interview of Percy Wilson, who was defeated for Register on last Thursday." Taft and Early disfranchisement and palliation of disfranchisement! Verily, while the delegates were asleep someone with the voice of Jacob, but the hand of Esau, has received the coveted blessing! BANKS. The statements from various banks run by colored men in different sections of the country that have been appearing in The Globe deserved to be carefully read by every student of the race question. They demonstrate beyond cavil that no matter what may be said derogatory to our ability to cope with modern business conditions and our inability to trust each other, we are going ahead in a modest way—it is true when comparing these reports with those of older institutions of the other race, saving and investing a part of our money and trusting its keeping in the hands of men of the race. We are uniting our mites and giving the latent business capacity of the race a chance to exert itself. How many persons, we wonder, knew that there was a bank in the United States owned and operated exclusively by Negroes that has resources upward of half-million dollars? How many knew that there were more than thirty banks owned by the race? Who was prepared to believe that a bank less than a year old would be the repository of the funds of 90 per cent of all the secret societies of its home city? How many knew that there is a bank over which a woman of the race presides? Yet all of this is true, and the half has not been told. These reports are inspiring and should cause some of the chronic kickers who point to the Freedman's Bank which failed before many of them were born, to join hands with our local bank and help make it the strongest institution of its kind in the country. They do things differently in Louisville, and our courts and Civil Service Commission might well pattern after that city. During the holidays a Negro who was under the influence of liquor was stopped by two policemen and when he resisted was shot by one of the officers, from the effects of which he died. At the trial last Saturday the officer claimed that the man resisted arrest, and in fighting the two policemen, drew a knife and attempted to cut the one who fired the shot. A careful search of the body, though, failed to show that the victim had a weapon of any description upon his person. A score of witnesses, all Negroes, swore that the officer had beaten the man with his club and when he attempted to flee, shot him. The trial judge held the policeman without bail, to the Criminal Court. If such a thing should happen in Nashville the stars would fall. Nevertheless, we mention the matter hoping that some day the Civil Service Commission may find a case that will at least justify it in its opinion in reprimanding one of our autocrats. Secretary Taft, it is said, feels hurt that the Negroes from all over the country and especially those in Ohio, are opposing him for the republican nomination. He claims that his position on the "war amendments" to the Constitution is misunderstood; that he is and has always been friendly to the race, and that he is being purposely misrepresented. Mr. Taft himself is responsible for the opposition of the Negro voters and if he will read his speeches delivered at Tuskegee and in North Carolina, in 1906, he will find the basis of the opposition. Likewise he will probably learn why such eminent radicals as Hoke Smith, Tom Watson and Representative Hardwick, who was elected to a seat in Congress on a platform demanding the repeal of the Fourteenth Amendment, prefer him above all other republican candidates. If Mr. Taft is being misrepresented to the Negroes by his ene Chairman Sanders, of the State Executive Committee, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee in this city on the 18th instant for the purpose of considering the calling of the state convention. Davidson County, though, has held its convention, elected and instructed delegates to the meeting that has not been called. Yet there be those who are so dull as not to scent trickery in the recent manipulations. Rev. W. H. McRidley, A. M., D. D., LL. D., Ph. D., editor of the Cadiz Informer, President of the Cadiz Institute, and holding a few dozen other positions, is a candidate for delegate, from the state at large from Kentucky to the republican National Convention. He ought to have it. Any man sporting as many titles as the Rev. Prof. Dr. McRidley ought to have anything he asks for. It will soon be said that the white folks are getting more like colored folks every day. The Fish-Harriman squabble and the effort being made to control the gas company of this city remind one of a church row that all are so familiar with. Mr. Roosevelt's latest special message to Congress has the full approval of Jeff Davis, of Arkansas. Another message of the same tenor, and perhaps Vardaman will get friendly. The ground hog went back into his hole. He must have heard that this is the year for a presidential election. There are more people interested in the empty dinner pall these days than in malefactors of great wealth. COMMUNICATION. Tottering Throne of Portugal. The assassination of the King and Crown Prince of Portugal is a tragical horror that amazes the world and has but few parallels in the annals of history for the audacity and success of its execution. It is another sad commentary on the differences which exist between a king and his subjects, when the latter have grievances, real or imaginary, which the former refuses to listen to or redress. The government that depends for its existence upon iron ruling and rigorous despotism, is a miserable failure and is sure to tottor to its fall. The sovereign who attempts to govern his people by tyranny is either a conceived weakling or the victim of some shrewd cabal. He will as surely come to grief as he adheres to such a course. Before and since the Barons of England rose up and forced old King John to sign the Magna Charta at Runnymede in 1215, the people of many governments have signalized their displeasure at oppression and an encroachment upon their natural and conceded manhood rights and privileges. They have signaled their displeasure in different ways, but each has left in its wake a trail of blood and death. Despite the horrible examples of the killings of "God's anointed" with which history teens, as showing the desperation of the people at oppressive and repressive government, yet ever and soon there arises some crowned weakling who will try to stem the people's wrath by crushing them, but who in turn is crushed or destroyed. "Uneasy lies the head," some one has truthfully said, "that wears a crown." This is only too true as history testifies. But it is true only in those cases where sovereigns are swayed by unprincipled ministers and haughty scheming courtiers, who are ever ready to bleed and prostitute the masses to advance their own selfish purposes. Portugal was throttled by the iron hand of Franco, the dictator, and the King and the Prince, hei apparent, paid with their lives the penalty of the people's wrath for Franco's unbending rule of folly. Russia is facing similar conditions as those which have stirred the "mud-sills" of Portugal, as one of her great paper has intimated in language but thinly veiled, which is an unusual thing to do in the land of the Czar, where frozen Siberia and its dreaded ndnes tower up a mighty horror, ghostlike, to affright and silence the bold and aggressive. Wherever men are crushed down by the iron heel of power and oppression, there is unrest and there is danger. They may be cowed for a while, for a long term of years, but when once driven to desperation, they will uproar the general weal and pour the milk of concord into hell. While this has been verified from age to age by the world's annals, yet there are D. A. DORTCH AND GENERAL HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS, CASH OR CREDIT. Your Old Furniture Taken In Exchange.

NEGRO WOMAN SHOOTS YOUNG GIRL Matilda Thomas, colored, aged 16 years, was shot in the head with a 22-calibre ball fired from a baby hammerless revolver in the hands of Anna Thompson, also colored. The Thomas woman was not seriously hurt, although the pistol ball struck the left side of her head about a half inch above the ear. She was taken to the City Hospital where an effort was made to locate the bullet. After making a careful search it could not be located and it is thought it must have glanced off her head instead of entering. Preston Taylor. Funeral Directors and CARRIAGES FOR HIRE. 449 Fourth Avenue, North, sible. The people may be scourged for a while by the lash of tyranny, but when once aroused they always make Rome howl, so to speak. Edwin Markham in his great poem, "The Man with the Hoe," points out the resultant outcome between overlearing tyrants and their enraged subjects in the following lines: "How will the future reckon with this man, How answer his brute question in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? How will it be with kingdoms and with kings— With those who shaped him to the thing he is— When this dumb terror shall reply to God After the silence of the centuries?" JADECEE. SECRETARY OF MAURY FAIR ASSOCIATION IN THE CITY. Dr. J. W. Whitfied, of Mt. Pleasant, proprietor of the firms of Whitfield & Co., and the Whitfield Grocery Company, and prominent as a Grand Lodge officer in several secret societies, spent several days in the city this week on business. Dr. Whitfield, besides being one of the leading physicians of the thriving town of Mt. Pleasant, is actively interested in all the affairs of the race in Maury County. He is Secretary of the Maury County Colored Fair Association, which is probably the most successful venture of its kind in the state. While in the city he was in conference with several members of one of the local fair associations, looking toward a plan of co-operation whereby it will be possible for the fair of which he is an officer to work in harmony with the state fair. As a Grand Officer of several secret societies Dr. Whitfield has raised those with which he is identified to make strides forward in Maury County that will compare favorably with any other county in the state. While in the city he visited the Globe office and several of the leading business institutions run by our race. THE LET 'Y-A WHIST CLUB. NASHVILLE, TENN. Telephone 895.

OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday school was opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock by the superintendent, Mr. James Hurt. A large number of pupils was present and a liberal collection was raised. The lesson, "Jesus the Saviour of the World," was reviewed by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Clark, who had just returned from Columbus, O., where he conducted a most successful revival. After the lesson review, the superintendent read the report of the financial standing of the classes for the month of January. Class No. 14 was in the lead, while two classes were tied for the smallest collections of the month. Tuesday night, although the weather was inclement, a large number of teachers and officers, with the pastor, was out to the regular meeting. The lesson, "Jesus and the Woman of Samaria," for Sunday, February 9, was reviewed and many interesting points were brought out. Mr. S. P. Harrison conducted the lesson. Benediction was pronounced and the meeting adjourned. L. AND M. CLUB. On February 5th the L. and M. Club had a social meeting at the residence of Mrs Mary Walker, 410 Ninth avenue, North.

THORNLEY BREATHES HIS LAST. Dr. A. N. Thornley, one of the oldest and most prominent physicians in this city, and a leading minister in the A. M. E.

His members were devotedly attached to him. Since he left that church as pastor he has engaged in mission work in and near the city. He had always been a busy man and in connection with his church built up a large medical practice. The funeral will be conducted from Payne Chapel A. M. E.

SUNSHINE LODGE KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF HONOR. Dr. E. A. Williams, of Cincinnati, O., Supreme Dictator and Protector of the Knights of Honor and Knights and Ladies of Honor of the World, spent two days in the city last week the guest of Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, of 1221 Third avenue, South. Dr. Williams was here for the purpose of looking after the endowment of the Knights and Ladies of Honor in Tennessee, there being four Lodges in this State. Sunshine Lodge, No. 843, at Nashville; Woodlawn Lodge, No. 84, at Brownsville; Greenleaf Lodge, No. 805, at Keeling, and Rising Sun Lodge, No. 78, at Decaturville. Sir W. S. Thompson, Past Protector of Sunshine Lodge, No. 843 has been given power of attorney by Dr. Williams to look after the Endowment and secure the State Charter of Incorporation. The members of Sunshine Lodge were very enthusiastic over the visit of their Supreme Protector, and never in the fraternal history of Nashville has the head of an organization received the courtesy and attention which was lavished upon Supreme Protector Williams by the subordinate members. Notwithstanding the severe weather they tendered him a banquet at Miss Emma Joe Cockrill's on Saturday evening and the Lodge members and their friends were out in gala dress to do honor to the doctor. Quite an elaborate menu was served and all present enjoyed themselves. One could not realize that Nashville was in the throes of hard times that one have seen the stumptuous repast which was served by the members of Sunshine Lodge. Protector Sir A. W. W. Upshaw in a very modest speech informally introduced the Supreme Dictator, Dr. E. A. Williams, who in his eloquent way thanked the Lodge for the honor which had been shown him, and outlined the efforts and purpose of the Order. Past Protector, Sir W. S. Thompson, responded and thanked the Supreme Protector for the honor which had been shown to Nashville in electing Miss Emma Joe Cockrill Secretary-Treasurer of the Supreme Endowment Board, and assured him that no wiser selection from any point of view could have been made. The notification of her election came to Miss Cockrill during the holidays and was quite a surprise. Miss Cockrill was appointed Deputy of the Knights and Ladies of Honor by Dr. Williams while attending the Supreme Conclave Knights of Pythias in Louisville, Ky., September, 1907. Dr. Williams is Past Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and Past Supreme Counsellor of the Courts of Calanthe. He organized the first Court of Calanthe in Tennessee, which was brought about by the famous "Red Letter," which Capt. A. M. Cockrill, then C. C. of Damon Lodge, No. 2, wrote Dr. Williams. Miss Cockrill, then a school girl, took the reins of authority from her brother being his secretary, and with that modesty and refinement of speech which is characteristic of her, poured oil upon the waters and the result was that the Supreme Chancellor not only restored Damon's rights, but in time gave to Nashville her first Court of Calanthe, which was "Ivy Leaf," with Mrs. M. J. Strong as W. Q. Had not Dr. Williams visited Nashville many persons who have been misled would never have known that through Capt. Cockrill and Miss Emma Joe's efforts Nashville got her first Court of Calanthe, and that Sir Aaron Dodd was the first Deputy Supreme Chancellor. The Knights and Ladies of Honor bid fair to be quite a strong organization in the State of Tennessee as it is in other States, and with such a matchless leader as Dr. Williams it cannot do otherwise than prosper. We are proud of a leader who is a man, with all the elements of true manhood, and one who will not stoop to the small things which have been a drawback to so many Negro organizations. We are proud of him because he recognizes ability and will compromise with nothing else and, like the gallant Knights of other races, believes in first, last and always pushing to the front the women of his race. Messrs. Early Johnson and Hugh Merrill left last week for Nashville to witness the performance by Sousa's Fand at the Ryman Auditorium. Mr. Blanton Dean was in Nashville this week. HILARY E.

TOWN SEND. way down the line, sufficient strength may be gained, or the power of resistance lessened, so as to reproduce the disease in question. Hence, the fulfillment of the Biblical truth—'The iniquities of the fathers shall be visited upon the children of the third and fourth generations.' The chief causes of acquired disease are, mechanical injury, extremes of heat and cold, defective food, lack of air and sunlight, excesses and physical abuses, mineral and vegetable poisons and parasitic organisms. In short, anything which tends to lower the vital resistance of the body may be the exciting cause of disease, whether it be hereditary or acquired. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES. DOUGLAS LODGE No.21.

He provided him feet for locomotion; hands, to work out his way and to uplift the fallen; a tongue, to make himself intelligible and to sing His praises; eyes, to pierce the darkness and to behold the beauties of nature; cars, to catch the strains of sweet music; a faculty, to perceive his relations to his Creator and his fellowman; a reason, to reflect; a judgment, to determine; and a will to execute; and in addition to all this, a sense within, which enables him to understand right from wrong. "It is the will of God, therefore, that we, so endowed, would see to it, that our bodies. His temple of abode and the home of the soul, that part of us which shall live forever, be kept in the very best healthy condition. In fact, we are responsible to God for the use and abuse of all our powers of mind and body. "Moral laws and physical laws govern the universe. What is true of law in one sphere is true in all spheres. If we violate the laws of health by intemperate eating and drinking, disease, which is the admonition and the penalty, will soon overtake us. If we transgress the laws of mind, idiocy or insanity may be our punishment; and if we disobey God's moral law, He will as certainly avenge it as He does the infraction of His physical laws. If a man drop a lighted match into a keg of gunpowder, the effect of his imprudence is quickly made known by the explosion that follows. If he sticks a pin in his flesh, his wounded nerves quickly send his brain a report of the injury. If he exposes himself imprudently to extremes of cold, he has pneumonia or may be consumption. These are sudden and certain results of violated physical law. But if a man is passionate, or deceitful, or dishonest, over-indulgent in the practices and pleasures of society, abusive of his civil and social relationships, a destroyer of virtue and character, the punishment of these violations of moral law may not and generally do not, immediately follow; but that they will follow at some times as certain as that the law of right has been violated. Too often it is the case that a man allows himself to indulge in little perversions or excesses under the delusion that they are not harmful, or that he can quit at any period of his life he may wish. But such indulgences, Step by step lead their victim To the verge of dread despair, Hurls him over the brink of ruin, Laughs and leaves him there. "When a habit of indulgence is once firmly established it becomes our master, and we rarely have sufficient strength to overcome it, though its continuance be condemned alike by reason and experience. We often do its bidding without thought or reflection, not being aware of its influences, and sometimes when we are fully conscious of its power and are desirous of escaping its trammals, our weakness is manifest in our failure. Inth is age of intelligence, a man who sees the right and cannot follow it; who is the victim of poor health or dis ease, and cannot help it; who loves all things noble and does not fight against things ignoble neither in himself or in others; who is haunted by high ideals of what he wishes himself to be and is forever falling short of it—to me this man is the most miserable of all creatures. The drunkards of to-day were the innocent school children of a few years ago. The outcast of society to-day was the bright hope of a mother's heart a few years ago. The criminal of to-day was the joy and delight of a father's home yesterday. The physically wrecked men of to-day were the strong, stalwart boys of only a few days ago. Just how helpless man is to save himself from the clutches of disease and sin may be illustrated by "Prometheus sin may be illustrated by 'Prometheus Bound,' as told by Aeschylus; by Virgil's Laocoon, with his sons in the coils of the great serpent; and by the young man in Paris, who was examining a guillotine and from curiosity lay down on the plank under the knife and found himself fastened there unable to escape. Haman was hung on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. In Proverbs we read, 'Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone it will return upon him.' "Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices." Job said, 'Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow weakness, reap the same." "How is your health? Every man ought live his three score years and ten. But few there be that reach it. The average age of man is considerably less now-a-days than ever before. Many are the things which account for this. We live too fast. The demands of society, the concentration of energy to business relationships, the protracted disobedience of the laws of nature, all contribute their part. From earliest times it was taught that a healthy mind could only exist in a healthy body, and strict adherence to the principles and laws of health was enforced. The world has never known of a greater teacher of medicine than Moses. Never has there been a more complete set of instructions for the maintenance of good health than is found in the book of Leviticus. Every man desires to live es and abuses, he would give his all were it possible to recall his bright youthful days and to have again his good health. In vain might he seek for that fountain of youth that he may bathe and be young again. I venture here the assertion that there is not a single man in this room, who is in a perfectly healthy condition; who has not at some time been the victim of some allment, which he could account for by some imprudence on his part. The scar once made remains forever. "When the summer day of youth is slowly wasting away into the nightfall of age, and the shadows of the past grow deeper and deeper as life wears to a close, I imagine the awful remorse and regret of the man who sits with his body racking in misery and pain, his joints stiff with chronic rheumatism, his brain filled with gummata, his nervous system almost a total wreck, his wearied heart struggling faithfully to keep up the circulation in arterio-sclerotic bloodvessels, and looks back through the dim vista of time upon a life of wasted opportunities, of reckless and thoughtless actions, and self indulgence for selfish gratification. Oh, that he could only begin again to weave the tangle threads of life; that he had again entrusted to his care a healthy and vigorous body; that he could form anew his associates in life; that he had a pure and clear consciousness as his guide! But alas! the time has come when the shadows are permanent, the sky is overcast, the sun is set and there is no light to appear through the ever-increasing gloom. There he stands, feeble when he might have been strong, defeated when he might have been a victor', dishonored when he might have been crowned with glory, lost when he might have been saved. I wish to recall the statement and here emphasize it—that anything, or any act which tends to lower the vital resistance in our bodies, makes them an easy prey for the development and ravages of disease. There is a constant warfare raging in us between the forces of nature and the forces of disease. Each vying with the other for supremacy. "Every draught of water we take contains myriads of enemies to good health. Each breath we take is laden with disease germs. Each effort put forth in any direction is accomplished with loss of energy. If the body be kept in good condition by strict adherence to the laws and regulations of hygiene, the disease forces can make no perceptible progress. On the other hand, if by any cause whatever, the vitality of the body is lowered the disease forces become triumphant and the individual becomes the victim of some malady which shortens his life. "Perhaps it may be well and beneficial to you for me to emphasize some of the important factors that tend to decrease the vital resistance of the body: (1) Overwork. Reference is here made particularly to mental overwork. A man may concentrate his mind so regularly and persistently along his business line; may apply himself to the working out of some device or project; may be so wound up by business reverses, that the energy which should go to keep up the body, nas to be utilized in the preserving of the mind. Should this continue the health of the body is undermined and it thereby becomes an easy prey for disease. The same is true with reference to worry, grief and all conditions where the mind is overtaxed. (2) I might mention the use of intoxicating drink. I need not stop here to dwell on its effects upon the human system or the human family; now it lowers vital resistance, how it affects all parts of the body, for examples are too familiar to you. "(3) The contraction of diseases which tends to weaken the body. The longer I practice medicine and the more I study the nature of this class of disease and its influence, not only on the individual, but upon society, upon the home and upon generations yet unborn, the more horrifying it appears to me. I can conceive of no act in man so low down, than for him to court the girl of his choice, win her tender heart away from her friends, persuade her to leave home and the tender, loving care of mother; lead her to the marital altar and there in the presence of God promise to always love her and not do anything to cause her any unhappiness and discomfort—and then cause her from association with him to become the victim of some dreaded malady or disease, which even he may have at that time, or will contract by obedience to his craving desires and rapid living thereafter. "Again, no sight more pitiful has ever come or can ever come to my eyes, than when I see a boy or girl who has been blind from birth. He or she who has never beheld the beauty of a flower, the glory of a dazzling sunlight, the gentleness of a gleaming moonlight, or felt the rapture that comes from the view of a beautiful landscape picturing more impressively the love and power of our Creator. My sympathy for such unfortunate beings is intensified when I remember FOR THE Parlor and Chapel One of the most beautiful pictures in the home, a church or a Sunday school, is an organ-one that is built to suit the home, the congregation and the financial condition of the people. This is what a National Baptist organ will do. The parlor organs are in three styles: Style No. 2 is B, oak case only. Style No. 3 is oak case only. Style No. 5 is case is oak or w Style No. 75 sign.

When he awakes late in hire to a realization of his physical condition—the result of wicklessness, thoughtlessness, excesstoo* are not responsible for their condition, but the sins of their parents. "Again, I think it criminal for a man who has become the victim of consumption or any other hereditary or acquired disease to seek to marry and thereby cause to come into this world, children who will be an easy prey for the ravages of disease and entail upon them a life of misery over which they have no control. Suffice it to say that it would have been better for those who are to come after them that a millstone were hanged about their neck and they cast into the sea. I think sometimes that such pleasurable freedom ought to be cut out by special legislation and each individual be subjected to an examination before he be allowed to marry. And then, too, some provision would have to be made to prevent promiscuous living together of individuals not married. (4) "Devotion to society. Devotion to society is productive of physical disease, mental imbecility and spiritual withering.

Dropsies, cancers, consumption and almost every infirmity in all the realm of pathology have been the penalties paid. To counteract the damage, Pharmacy has gone forth with medicament, panacea, elixir, embrocation, salve and catoplasm. An intelligent Christian man would consider it an absurdity to kneel down at night and pray and ask God's protection, while at the same time he kept the windows of his bedroom shut tight against fresh air. He would just as soon think of going out on the bridge which spans yon Cumberland, leaping on and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt.

Hast Sunday, the day on which the ground-hog is wont to make his an- nual inspection, was one of the cold- est days of this season; and if the myth of seeing his shadow holds good, then the weather for several weeks will be of the frigid kind. The members of Roger Williams Club of Nashville, with a few supple- mentary persons, entertained a large and enthusiastic audience with a mu- sical and a one act play, at Fifth Ward Baptist Church last Thursday night. The musical numbers “Bob-o-link” and “If Dreams Come True,” by Mad- am Magdalene Tartt, and a duet by Miss Reed and Mrs. Henderson, were artisically rendered and heartily ap- preciated. Dr, Townsend spoke of the needs of Roger Williams University, and the part the Club is taking in rais- ing funds for the school. A neat sum was realized. The funeral of Mr. Freeman Oak- ley, one of the best known citizens of Clarksville, whose death was the re- sult of pneumonia, was held last Sun- day afternoon at St. Peters A. M. EB. Church, of which he was an officer. Rev. F. W. Gardner, pastor, delivered a short eulogistic talk, assisted by Rev. H. EB. Rye. The interment took place at Golden Hill Cemetery. Prof. G. W. Hampton, of this coun- ty, has been elected to the principal ship of the Mitchell-Oglesby Academy, a state institution at Bransford, Trousdale County, Tenn., and on last Monday took charge with one hun- dred and twenty-seven persons. in at- tendance.

The county is entitled to four delegates, but at the writing it is not known who will be selected. Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Townsend re- turned to Nashville on Friday.

About a year ago a few ladies, beindesirous of learning more of intelligent homekeeping and progress along the lines of better living, came together and formed what is known as "The Women's Progressive Club." Some of these ladies were members of clubs in which the social and artistic sides were emphasized, but as yet there was no organization among the colored women of the city which made a systematic study of "Home Economies." Accordingly they sought to find a course which treated of these subjects. Fortunately, during vacation two of the members met the president of the only Negro woman's club that had taken a real course in a housekeeping school by correspondence. On learning that the course laid down by the school was hard, tedious and somewhat expensive, they almost despaired of the club's being willing to do the work; but no sooner had the real advantages of the course been placed before the ladies than with one voice they said, "Let's have it! Let us learn properly how to care for our homes and our loved ones." As only a few could profitably study together, the number doing the work is small. And so these ladies have begun a long course of study and joyfully look forward to receiving a certified diploma from the school of "Household Improvement." at the end of four years. The ladies belonging to this club are Mrs. Geo, W. Henderson, Mrs. Lovell Landers, Mrs. W. H. McGavock, Mrs. A. C. Moore, Mrs. Jas. A. Myers, Mrs. Saml Neale, Mrs. R. Richardson and Mrs. J. W. Work. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908 Make an Early Choice Liabilities. DEATH OF MRS. MARCELLUS BOSTIC The funeral services of Mrs. Marcellus Bostic, who died on Tuesday night, the 28th of January, were held at the residence on Fifteenth avenue, North, on last Friday morning. The remains were held over awaiting the arrival of Dr. C. H. Clark, pastor of Mount Olive, who conducted the funeral services. Mr. Bostic was a young bride and had spent six or seven months in North Dakota. She leaves a husband, a baby boy, mother, with several sisters and brothers. She was a member of Mount Olive Baptist Church, and was related by marriage to Mr. J. West Bostic. PHILADELPHIA'S NEW BANK. A Negro Bank North of the Mason and Dixon Line. Out of a probable number of 37 Negro banks and banking institutions in the United States, the North and the East can boast of but one—they must both share an equal half, since the institution of itself will attract much attention. It is known as the People's Savings Bank, and is located in Philadelphia. The officers of the institution give national prominence to it. Mr. George H. White, the president, has the distinction of being the last Negro to occupy a seat in the Halls of Congress, having been elected and sent there by the State of North Carolina. The officials are E. W. Moore, First Vice President; J. T. Seth, Second Vice President; Walter P. Hall, Treasurer; Q. McDougall, Secretary; Wm. J. Trent, Cashier; Wm. A. St. Clair, Assistant Cashier. More than one-half of the stock has already been subscribed for. The concern opened its doors on the 14th day of November on promising circumstances, with the following directors for the year: Mr. Robert S. Jackson, Drs. G. L. P. Tallaferro, N. F. Mosse i, Mr. A. S. Jones, Mr. Charles H. Pitts, Mr. Jasper L. Evans, Mr. J. E. Worsham, Mr. Daniel Turner, Mr. R. T. Jones, Rev. Morton Winston, D.D. G. Edward Dickerson, Esq., Mr. W. H. Jackson, Rev. Dr. E. W. Johnson and Mr. Ishmael A. Holloway. CANTATA AT MT. OLIVE CHURCH. The public seems now only to be waiting for February 18, which is Wednesday, to listen to the folk song cantata. Every arrangement is now complete. Tickets have been issued and distributed among those interested in the entertainment for the Sunday school. Rehearsals have been going on regularly. Both the Work Brothers and Mr. McIntyre, the manager for the cantata, are confident that they will be perfect. Nashville has not witnessed such an entertainment as is guaranteed by "Out of the Depths," when it is presented for the second time in the city of Nashville, at the largest and most spacious church auditorium in the city. 'Mt. Olive has fully decided to put not less than 1,200 persons in the auditorium that night. Dr. Clark, the pastor, stated Sunday night and Sunday morning at 11 o'clock that he felt sure the people of Nashville would give the Work Brothers as substantial a support as they had given Flora Batson in years gone by. Her abilities were unusually large. The tickets are fifteen cents each. Thers will be no reserved seats.* MRS. IDA HARLIN IN THE CITY MRS. IDA HARLIN IN THE CITY. The Globe was honored by a visit from Mrs. Ida Harlin this week. She is here to see her mother, Mrs. Winnie Hart, and her brothers, Bishop Tyree and Messrs. D. A. and Ben H. Hart. Her stay will probably extend over several months. Mrs. Harlin is no stranger in this city. She has spent the greater part of her life here. She was one of the first members of the Globe force, having filled the positions of bookkeeper, clerk and superintendent of circulation for more than eight months during 1906. She made one of the most encouraging speeches at the annual banquet last year. "I just came around to see you all and to chat over old times. I've found the Globe my most entertaining past time since I've been away and I couldn't get along without it each week," said Mrs. Harlin in her conversation. She is making her home now in St. Louis, as her husband has his lay over in that city. While here she will be the guest of Bishop and Mrs. Tyree, No. 15 North Hill street WHERE CLOTHESPINS ARE MADE Turned Out by Millions at Montpelier Vt.—Much of the Work Done by Girls (From the Boston Herald.) Clothespins by the million, by the hundred millions, are turned out in Montpelier, Vt., every year, and so great is the demand that preparations are being made for still further increasing the output. These are not the old fashioned clothespin, a split stick, but the affair made with a spring of steel wire. The concern that makes the largest number turns out 100,000 gross or more every year, and in addition makes some forty different kinds of clips for holding papers and photographs and bottles and test tubes, as well as some larger ones for carriage makers' use, but its principal business is the manufacture of pins to hold the family wash on the line. The old problem: "what becomes of all the pins?" may be supplemented by this: "What becomes of all the clothespins?" This one concern turns out every year more than one clothespin for every man, woman and child in the United States, other factories turn out a considerable quantity, and the Maine manufacturers put millions of the old-fashioned kind on the market, but still the factories are frequently behind on their orders. The world is their market. Every part of the United States knows the United States cohesin, as the original invention is called, and the washwomen of Peru, Brazil, Australia, France, Germany, Turkey and Russia know them just as well. Wherever the cleansed family washing is hung out to dry the Montpelier cohesins are known. The spring cohesin is the invention of Solon G. Morse and was patented in the 50's. The lumber for these cohesins is cut in and about the little town of Warren in the Mad River Valley and the wooden pieces that are used in the pins are fashioned there, being hauled to Montpelier in carts. The springs are made in the factory here and the wooden parts are completed. The parts when ready are passed to deft handed girls who sit at little tables. A spring is placed in position in a machine, two pieces of wood are put in the proper places, a treadle is pressed and a finished clothespin drops out. These are packed in pasteboard boxes and shipped by the car load to the uttermost parts of the earth. SHINING COLLEGE SHOES. Bootblack's Low Rate Not by Any Means a Loss to Him At one of the colleges there is a bootblack who advertises a monthly rate of 50 cents and a yearly rate of $3.50 for an unlimited number of shines. Some one figuring on the hards of forty weeks to a college year made it out that a student could get about $14 worth of shines for $3.50. "I don't see how that pays you," he said to the bootblack. "Well, it means that if I can get enough men to start with I can begin each year with a surety of an income of more than $1,000," the bootblack said. "You see, at the start of the college year, when the students have money, they don't mind paying $3.50 and then they are fixed for the year. "They figure out that the flat rate is better for them than having to pay each time. Then, again, if they took a shine only when they needed it, they'd get less of them, I think. "Anyway, I can sell them shoe laces and other things like that on the side to make my income big enough. So each side thinks the other is getting the worst of it, and both are pleased." --Exchange. PACIFIC ELECTRIC COMPANY CHANGES HANDS. Bought by J. D. Crenshaw. The only Negro electric company in Nashville was sold last week, reorganized and placed under a new management. It was the Pacific Electric Company. The first sale was made to John W. Chester. It was bought for him by J. W. Allen. The Last transfer was made on January 31 (Friday), when Mr. J. D. Crenshaw took charge of the company. The Pacific Electric Company has been running in this city for the past two years. J. E. Edwards has been president and R. W. Reece, Secretary and Treasurer. The concern is located at 421 Cedar street. Mr. Crenshaw, the new trustee for the concern, stated to a Globe reporter that he had fully decided to have the company run on a larger and broader basis, and that he had appointed Mr. R. W. Reece as manager for the reorganized company; that for the present their headquarters would remain at 421 Cedar street in the Boyd Building. Judging from the remarks of the trustees after the purchase, it would appear that sufficient capital will be put in the company to handle almost any contract they might bid on and secure. The company has already gained a reputation for good workmanship and reliability in this city. MISS DELANEY COMING Nashville is to be favored with a visit from Miss E. B. Delaney, of Fernandina, Fla. Miss Delaney spent about four years in Africa in the service of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. Her visit here will be to hold a special meeting with the women of this city. Complete arrangements for the meeting will not be made until next week. The information comes from Mrs. Flowers that Miss' Delaney will be here some time in March—date of the coming and place of the meeting to be given out later. REASONS WHY GANS IS A WONDER. Joe Gans, the lightweight, is the greatest man of his weight who ever stepped into a ring. What are the methods of this marvelous lightweight who has been going on and on for 17 year and growing better all the time? What has he that he can last while other pugilists drop into the discard? Those were the questions asked of three great fighters who have met the Negro champion. The total number of rounds that Gans has fought Willie Lewis, George McFadden and Mike (Twin) Sullivan in nine contests is 103. These men ought, therefore, to know something about his tricks, his blows and the force of them. They know that Gans is not unbeatable. Lewisought him to a no-decision affair at Madison Square Garden and jabbed him all over the ring. True, there were spectators who thought that Gans was not trying. Lewis, however, in condition is good enough to make any man in the ring try. Uses Right for Heart. "He feints with his right. He throws up his right shoulder and pokes the fist out a few inches in either hook or a straight punch, just as if he were going to smash you. Then, quick as a flash, he comes forward and lets it fly. If it connects with your jaw you are gone. If it goes over the heart it burns, but doesn't put you out. By the time you have received seven or eight over the heart you begin to feel sick. It is a mistake to think that he uses his right to the stomach. Spectators think it goes there, but it really goes higher, just over the heart, on your left side." "I learned from my experience with Gans," said Willie Lewis, "that he can be beaten by a man who has a good left jab. I think that the people who saw our fight will admit that I had him cut to pieces with my left." "He wipes a left hook and a straight punch to the face and the same to the stomach. They rock you, but they are not knock-out blows. He put a left hook to my jaw that blinded me throughout a round, but it did not knock me out. His favorite method is to kid you along with feints of the left. He pokes it out toward your face and stomach so that you think that it is coming, but he is only trying to draw a lead on your right. BUSY BEE CLUB. The Busy Bee Club held its regular business meeting Monday afternoon, February 3, 1998, at the residence of Mrs. Gilbert White.
