LARGE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS IN ATTENDANCE. PRESIDENT J. C. NAPIER REPORTED BRIGHT PROSPECTS—HAD VISITED SEVERAL TOWNS IN THE STATE—COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATIONS EXPRESS A WILLINGNESS TO CO-OPERATE WITH THE STATE ORGANIZATION—MEMBERS OF LADIES' AUXILIARY PRESENT. The Tennessee Colored Fair Association held a mass meeting in the Odd Fellows Auditorium on last Tuesday night with President Napier in the chair, and J. Thomas Turner, Secretary. Elder Preser Tontay invoked the blessings of God upon the deliberations of the Association. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following Directors of the Association were present: G. B. Taylor, S. P. Harris, P. R. Burrus, Isaiah Smith, Jr., J. B. Bosley, L. Burford, S. H. Reeves, B. J. Carr, I. L. Moore, C. N. Langston, Preston Taylor, G. F. Anderson, J. C. Napier, Clay Moore, R. F. Boyd, J. Frank Battle, G. W. McKissack, J. Thomas Turner. The officers of the Woman's Department with a number of members gave grace to the meeting. Several visitors were in attendance. Mr. Napier, the President, spoke of his visit to Gallatin, Tenn., stating that while there he had an opportunity to talk with some of the officers of the Gallatin Fair Association, who expressed themselves as being desirous of taking a part with the Tennessee Colored Fair Association. Mr. Turner, the Secretary, stated that Mr. A. Thomas Hill, Principal of the Pulaski Public School, Secretary of the Knights of Pythias Endowment Board of Tennessee, and Secretary of the Giles County Fair Association, and Dr. J. W. Whitfield, of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn., one of the business men of that section of the State and Secretary of Maury County Fair Association, were in his office a few days ago, and that both gentlemen invited a correspondence with the Tennessee Colored Fair Association, and promised co-operation, if such was desired by the said Association. The Corresponding Secretary, J. Frank Battle, was instructed to correspond with the authorities of the Association referred to at his earliest convenience. The Committee to confer with Rev. Preston Taylor about a written contract for Greenwood Park to hold the Fair, reported progress through its chairman, J. C. Napier, who asked for further time to make a final report as to terms for the park, as certain facts and figures were to be ascertained in the premises, before a written contract could be drawn in proper form satisfactory to all parties concerned. He went on to mention the different buildings Elder Taylor proposes to erect on the grounds, mentioning what each one would be used for, if suitable for the things named, subject to a change. He further stated that the committee's conference with Elder Taylor was quite an agreeable one, and thus far could say that the terms for securing the park would be reached most amicably and with satisfaction to the Association and Elder Taylor. The Committee was allowed further time. The Secretary was ordered to get stationery for the Association and the Woman's Department. Upon request Mrs. Preston Taylor, President of the Woman's Department, was called to speak on behalf of the women as to their interest in the work for the success of the Fair. She served notice that the women were in earnest, as they had already held two meetings, which were full of enthusiasm. Mrs. Taylor then called upon her Secretary, Mrs. C. N. Langston, to read the minutes of the two sessions held by them. The proceedings, as read, were replete with words of encouragement and showed deep thought and manifest interest, to an extent, that moved the men to hearty applause as an approval of all the good things that were embodied in the NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1908 minutes of the two meetings of the women. The minutes showed that the women's department has a membership of twenty-five, composed of some of the moving spirits of the homes of Nashville, and of the different churches and societies, both secret and benevolent and in every walk of life. The ladies were tendered a rising vote of thanks for their well begun work and activity in the interest of the Fair. The meeting adjourned to meet Tuesday night, February 25, at Odd Fellows Auditorium. CALL OF NATIONAL POLITICAL SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE OF COLORED AMERICANS. The positive and notoriously hostile attitude of the government of our republic toward its citizens of color under the present Republican administration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the President and the nullifiers of the Constitution in the South constitutes the most flagrant collusion between a Republican President and the Southern Democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the Civil War or of Rutherford B. Hayes at the close of the Reconstruction. But it has remained for the present chief executive of the United States to prescribe in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, without a trial or chance to be heard in their own defense is a denial of justice and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the Federal maltreatment of the colored citizens under the present Republican administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present Czarocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion, in view of the open candidacy for the Republican party's nomination for the presidency of one who in his official position as a cabinet officer has in public speech in the South condoned their disfranchisement of citizens for color in admitted violation of the federal constitution, and who has supinely endorsed in toto the brutal and autocratic discharge of colored soldiers without trial by executive decree, you as one of a class which almost from necessity has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the Republican party almost continuously in power, but one who is free from party obligation, are invited to a National Conference of colored men, and of avowed friends to be held in the City of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1908, to counsel together as to the wisest course to be pursued politically by the colored citizens of the country especially those unrobed of the ball lot who are willing to use this weapon for the rights and liberties of their class, under the present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candidates for the presidential nomination most deserve the support of the colored voters. Please come prepared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed.

WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER, President of the New England Constitution and Suffrage League. SARDON CHAPEL NOTES. Master Luther A. Dowell, son of Rev. R. A. Dowell, is on the sick list. The "barrell entertainment" given by Mrs. Lee, assisted by Mrs. R. W. Watkins, was quite a success. Rev. R. F. Chambers was recently presented with a barrel of groceries. The city has extended the electric lights and put one light in front of the church. THAT THAT BODY WILL GRANT PRIVILEGE SEEMS CERTAIN. COLLECTING OF SUBSCRIPTIONS TO BE STARTED AT ONCE—ABOUT $50,000 TO BE PAID BY DAVIDSON COUNTIANS TO INSURE PROJECT—MANY PROMINENT NEGROES HAVE SUBSCRIBED—ALL OF THEM WILL PAY ON DEMAND—A NEW ERA DAWNS IN THE BUSINESS CAREER OF RACE. "There can be no doubt that Nashville is now marching steadily on to the realms of fame and is to be one of the great cities of the world. She is now rated among the historic places of this southland. Her record and the battles fought in and around this vicinity during the past gives her no mean place in the eyes of the people," said a travelling man the other day, when he saw the movement to bring the new railroad to this city, and was informed of the concessions already made for it by the people and the city. "When this road enters Nashville there will be at least ten Negro stockholders representing a holding of several thousands of dollars." This alone shows that in the dawn of this new age of development, the Negro citizen of Nashville is showing himself equally as interested as any people. He is doing his part well. There will be more activity when more encouragement is given. Such men as Preston Taylor, J. C. Napier, R. F. Boyd, W. A. Crosthwait, John Grant, R. H. Boyd and others who subscribed for stock in the new road, make it possible for great holdings for the Negro. An account of the new movements would no doubt interest property owners: A bill granting the Nashville & Huntsville Railroad a right of way into Nashville was introduced into the City Council Thursday night by Councilmen I. P. Cohen and J. R. Mason, and the matter of collecting Nashville subscriptions will be started at once, R. S. Hollins, Jr., being Chairman of the Stock Subscriber's Committee. If Nashville subscriptions to the amount of something like $42,000 are promptly paid the contractor is ready to begin work by March 1. No doubt is entertained regarding the passage of the bill in the Council, and whether or not the road will be built depends on the Nashville subscribers. Marshall County has $58,000 ready; Giles has $45,000 in bank and agrees on call to put $5,000 more, and T. W. Pratt, of Madison County, Ala., says his county's subscription of $50,000 will be ready next week. Chairman Hollins, assisted by L. B. Fite and probably others, will collect and receive the local subscription and deposit all moneys to his credit as Chairman in a local bank, none of the money to be used until the terms of the receipt which will be given have been complied with. The receipt is worded as follows: "Said payment is made to R. S. Hollins, Jr., Chairman of the Stock Subscribers' Committee, to be deposited by him, in his name, as Chairman, in Bank, and so held on deposit by him until I. L. McCord, the contractor for building the Nashville & Huntsville Railway, shall deposit in said bank approved standard securities in amount sufficient to secure the subscriber the repayment of the amount paid by the subscriber, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, with a contract of hypothecation authorizing said bank to sell said securities so deposited, and out of the proceeds make repayment to each subscriber when and as herein provided. "Upon the deposit of said securities and contract of hypothecation with the bank in which the money paid by the subscribers shall be deposited, then said money so paid by subscribers shall be paid to I. L. McCord. "In case the contractor, I. L. McCord, shall default in the fulfillment of his contract— "To build and complete said road construction within twenty days after as much as two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) of the local subscriptions along the line shall be paid into bank, or suspend or abandon it for sixty days, except such suspension shall be because of strikes or bona fide litigation, or "Shall fail to complete said railroad according to contract, and turn it over to the Nashville & Huntsville Railway, within eighteen months from the date of commencing the work of construction. Folk Songs Cantata at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Wednesday, Feb. 19. Origin and History of Folk Songs. The rendition of "Out of the Depths" to be given at Mount Olive Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, February 19, will no doubt be largely attended. Nashville loves to do honor to a worthy cause; hence there is a twofold reason for expecting a large crowd. First, it is a Sunday school entertainment; second, the work is the production of home talent. The Plantation Melodies, first given to the world by Jubilee Singers in 1871, have steadily, even if slowly, gained favor with all classes of people. Even the Negro himself, whose music this is, has little by little overcome his prejudice against it, notwithstanding this resentment sprang from the idea that these songs were very closely connected with slavery and all that slavery meant. These two, Plantation Music and slavery, have always been so infinitely interwoven that it has been impossible for the first generation after slavery to separate them, and so, to keep the thoughts of bondage out of their minds—these folk songs have outwardly almost been despised. Still away down in the Negro's heart there has been a smoldering coal of love for his own peculiar songs, which has been gradually fanned into a burning flame, by two forces, education and the knowledge that musicians of other peoples are studying it seriously. Indeed, it argues auspiciously that the educated Negro is learning to appreciate these songs, for it is his duty to preserve them, with their best and truest interpretation. Since they tell faithfully the Negro's innmost life, both intellectually and spiritually, they are the only true source of our history. If any man would read the Negro's life, let him study his songs. Never was a character more accurately portrayed than that pictured herein. And naturally enough it is strengthening its hold upon the Negro's religious nature and has a peculiar influence over him. If our ministers would more largely recognize this and act upon it, their power for saving souls would be corre spondingly enlarged. If there is any expression to describe this music fitly, this seems to be it: Syncopated, Rhythmic, Sacred Melody. This syncopation gives it a regular advantage in representing musically the idea of the words. For instance, in the song "Inching along" one can really see the inch-worm as he crawls. So it is with a large number of the songs. Rhythm! Omit that and you have lost an essential attribute. The very soul of the Negro is linked with Rhythm. So important a factor is this that in every imitation of the Negro's folk songs great stress is placed upon it. Every "rag" (which is a counterfeit of this music), is conducive for its rhythm. So natural is it and such a powerful hold has it upon the nature of the Negro that when he really sings in earnest he sings not only with his voice, but with his head hands, feet and even his whole body. There is the clapping of hands, the natting of feet, the swaving of body, etc., to all of which his music is eminently adopted. This bodily singing or timekeeping contributes much amazement to strangers who visit the Negro churches where there songs are sung. The Nerro is in dead earnest when he does it, but the stranger thinks it is fun. It is this idea that leads many people to imitate mockingly this music. The minstrel man blacks up his face and throws an audience into convulsions singing plantation melodies but he and the audience too, have missed the point; for if he ever sings these songs in the right spirit, he will turn his show into a revival. To sing this music effectively the singer must be in a spiritual frame of mind. Then, too, he must not try to sing; that is, he must not try to impress people with his voice or voice culture, but he must abandon himself entirely to his spiritual nature. This done there is no need for fear of failure.* No. 6. EMINENT IN CHURCH, SOCIAL AND STATE AFFAIRS. GREAT CROWDS THRONG THE STREETS TO PAY HIM THEIR LAST RESPECTS—LEADING SECRET ORGANIZATIONS OF WHICH HE WAS A MEMBER DO HONOR TO THE DISTINGUISHED DIVINE—WAS FOR MANY YEARS PRESIDENT OF THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. Birmingham, Ala., February 10.—This city, commonly known as "The Pittsburg of the South," was thrown into deep mourning on Saturday morning, caused by the death of Rev. John Quincy Adams Wilhite, D. D. While he had been sick for several months, much hope had been entertained for his recovery, and up to Friday evening it looked as though he would survive many days; but the end came peacefully Saturday morning, and the funeral services were held to-day in the auditorium of the Sixth Street Baptist Church, of which he had been pastor for twelve years. More than five thousand sympathizing friends and acquaintances surged in and around the church to pay their last respects. More than one hundred and fifty ministers from all denominations participated in the exercises. Representatives from the State and National Baptist Conventions were in attendance. The services were conducted by Rev. C. L. Fisher, D. D., who is an eminent friend of the family. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Eason, D. D., President of the Alabama Baptist State Convention. Other speakers at the services were Revs. C. M. Wells, R. T. Pollard, W. R. Pettiford, A. E. Williams, R. B. Hudson, W. C. Owens, Mrs. A. A. Bowie, H. A. Boyd, W. L. Howard, A. C. Jackson, P. H. Hughes and C. L. Fisher. Birmingham has not witnessed such a funeral. The floral designs and offerings were the most elaborate ever presented; a wagon load constituted the number. The deceased was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Good Samaritans and Masons. He had served as President of the Baptist State Convention for ten years and was identified with every movement in the state and city for the upbuilding of the race and his denomination, and the services were only in keeping with his standing as a leading man in the city and state. The condolence both in telegrams and letters came from all parts of the country. He leaves a wife, seven children, four boys and three girls. One of his sons Chester, is a graduate of the Meharry Medical College of the class of 1907, the younger son, Cleopas, who is now a student at Meharry, was called home for the funeral services. --- YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB On last Monday night, February 1, the members of the Young Men's Literary Club convened at the residence of Mr. Epperson Bonds, 1605 State street. The meeting was of a business nature and each member took an active part. One new member, Mr. Overton Carter, was received and welcomed. After the business was over Mr. Bond served refreshments, consisting of cakes, fruit, candies and other delicacies. The meeting then adjourned to meet at Mr. Samuel H. Rhodes' home on Monday, February 10. The meeting was well attended and the club welcomed Mr. A. N. Owen as a new member. Several of the members participated in a very interesting program on the "Life and Achievement's of Shakespeare." Mr. Rhodes served a delicious light repeat to the club, while his sister, Miss Bessie Rhodes, entertained with beautiful selections on the piano. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mr. E. Leland Taylor, 114 Lewis street. The program will be as follows: Debate, "Should Poets be Delivered by Lovers of their Works?" Affirmative, Messrs. Taylor and Rouse Negative, Messrs. Carter and Alex ander. COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER.

And if New Yorkers don't live beyond their means they live so close to the limit that the smallest accident, illness or any additional expense immediately throws them into debt.

Jackson, Miss., Feb. 12.—Because of the lynching of the Negro, Eli Pigot, at Brookhaven, Monday last, the Legislature will be called upon to decide whether to disband the State militia in times of peace. Senator Harper, of Grenada, offered a resolution calling for this in the Senate to-day, specifying that it was in view of the Brookhaven lynching. Pigot, charged with criminal assault, was taken from the custody of the military companies of Jackson and Brookhaven and shot to death, his body being later hanged to a telegraph pole.—Nashville American. It is not stated in the despatch for what cause the militia is to be disbanded. They seem to be perfectly innocent of any attempt to protect the prisoner, and if an investigation should be instituted it would be easy, no doubt, to prove that the militia did all in their power to shoot the unfortunate man dead as quickly as possible. SOCIAL AFTERNOON. A number of young people spent a social afternoon Sunday, February 9, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Bright, 816 Tenth avenue, South, the occasion being the birthday of their daughter, Miss Lillie Goodloe, Cake, ices, fruit and confections were served.

A Favored Son of Nashville to Deliver an Address on Feb. 27. It was announced Monday that arrangements had been completed by the lecture bureau and a special committee by which the services of Bishop Evans Tyree, A. M., D. D., LL. D., had been secured to deliver a lecture at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Thursday night, February 27. Bishop Tyree has been in and about Washington, Norfolk and Portsmouth for the past two weeks, delivering special lectures under the auspices of the committee of management of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church. It will be remembered that the Bishop was selected unanimously by his church to deliver a series of lectures to assist in raising funds for defraying the expenses of the General Conference, but it was not planned to have any of these lectures delivered in Nashville. The Committee on Lectures appointed some time ago at a mass meeting for men only, held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, decided that Nashville would be greatly benefited if they could secure the services of this distinguished prelate. They at once decided upon him and went to work and succeeded in getting his consent. He has agreed to speak on "Our Home and Church Life." No one doubts that he is prepared to ably discuss this subject, as he has been heard time and again in this city to the delight of great audiences. MISS E. B. DeLANEY COMING On Friday, March 6, Miss E. B. DeLaney, a returned missionary, will make her first visit to the people of Nashville. At 3 o'clock she will hold a special meeting for children. All parents and Sabbath school teachers are earnestly requested to come and bring the children. At eight o'clock she will speak to men, women and children. Miss Delaney is a great worker and an excellent speaker and all will be greatly benefited who accepts the opportunity to hear her. These meetings are to be held at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. A large audience was present Sunat 11 a. m. Rev. G. B.

After a confinement of more than seventy-two hours in a Blue Ridge Dispatch freight car, while on the way from West Virginia to Nashville, John Henry Brown, a 16-year-old boy, was rescued from his imprisonment Wednesday morning at the Union Station, more dead than alive, from starvation. The boy was unable to stand, when taken out of the freight car, but revived somewhat when given food and drink by Terminal Officer Sam McGuire. The boy was put into the care of the police and held on the charge of loitering about the railroad yards, until the condition of the car's contents can be investigated. Sunday afternoon, February 8, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Whittaker, of 1805 State street, delightfully entertained the following: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wingfield, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Neil. Mrs Peterson and Mr. S. B. Banks. The following menu was served: Roast Chicken. Sage Dressing. Cold Slaw on Lettuce. French Dressing. Sweet Potatoes, Candied. Indian Corn Pudding. Whipped Cream.

DeLaney will speak to women only at 3:30 o'clock at Spruce Street Baptist Church. Every woman interested in the uplift of humanity should attend the meeting. Miss DeLaney has had quite a large experience of the great needs of women in the home land as well as in foreign fields. Do not miss the opportunity of hearing her. (From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) The clergyman recorded complacently the twenty-seventh New Year pledge taking. "Excellent work. A glorious day," he said. And yet do you know that there was once a time when all this sort of thing was criminal? "No!" "Yes. It was in India, at the beginning of the English occupation. Medical men believed in those days that a white man could not live in India without drinking. They thought he needed half a pint of whiskey, or its HALF STARVED DINNER PARTY. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE D. A. HART, Manager, equivalent, every day. And they insisted on his taking it. "Temperance societies, total abstinence and the signing of the pledge were things forbidden in India. Such things were thought injurious to the white man's health out there. Hence to go in for them was to be arrested, fined, imprisoned, banished. "But to-day in India total abstinence is encouraged, for it has been found that the abstainer stands the heat far better than does the man who drinks." The wedding of Miss Fannie Allen and Mr. Edward Frierson was solemnized Sunday, February 2, at 7 p. m., at the residence of Mrs. A. Bowen, on Twelfth avenue, Revs. E. C. Jones and A. Holden officiating in the presence of 21 guests. Miss Lula Williams, of Fisk University, presided at the piano. Mrs. Bowen was assisted in receiving her guests by her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Bullerson. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers, pink and white being the predominating colors. The bride was becomingly dressed in a gray tailored suit with hat to match. After the ceremony a three-course menu was served, consisting of ice, cake, fruit and wine. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Bowen were Mestames F. E. Jennings, J. H. Mahan, E. McLemore, W.

The latest observer of the bees credits them with ability to judge the time of day. He is Auguste Force, a Frenchman, and his studies were involuntary at the outset. He lives in a villa not far from Paris, and in summer it is the habit of his family to take their meals outdoors on a terrace. At 7 o'clock in the morning the table was habitually set for the light French breakfast. A great dish of preserved fruit was always a feature of this meal. At noon came the "grand dejeuner," or luncheon, when there was no fruit. At 4 o'clock something like the English tea was served and then again presrves made their appearance, remaining on the table for half to three-quarters of an hour. The bees had their colony about a hundred yards from the terrace, but until last June they never gave the slightest trouble. Then the cook put a basin of cherries preserved in sirup to cool in a window near the table. There were some flowers in the win- FRIERSON—ALLEN. Nashville, Tenn. dow. A bee visiting these discovered the cherries and soon came back with the whole swarm to enjoy them. When they came back later and found the cherries gone they went foraging and presently discovered the preserves on the breakfast table. "We are lost," said the proprietor; "we will have to give up eating here." At first the bees buzzed over the terrace all day from dawn to dusk. Then they began to disappear in the middle of the day. They made early breakfast and afternoon tea impossible, but they were totally absent at the dinner hour. About the middle of July the family gave up using the terrace for the bee infested meals, but by way of experiment the able was set one morning as usual. Promptly at 7 a. m. the bees began to arrive, and at 10 o'clock, when the table was cleared as usual, they ceased coming. Not a trace of a bee was seen again until 4. The luncheon was eaten without the presence of a single one. But at 4 they began to gather again. They were plainly surprised at finding no preserves—the table was not set—but in increasing numbers they kept up the search until about 5 o'clock, when they gradually took themselves off. This kept on for several days after the table ceased to be set. The bees came looking for it between 7 and 10 in the forenoon and 4 and 5 in the afternoon. In fact, however they recognized the time, they observed it with clock-like regularity until in the course of a week or two they ceased their visits altogether, finding them unprofitable. LADIES' AID SOCIETY The Ladies' Aid Society of Howard Congregational Church held its regular monthly meeting recently at the residence of Mrs. J. J. Anderson, Fourteenth avenue, North. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. P. R. Burrus; Vice President, Mrs. Marshall Cheatham; Secretary, Miss Lena Jackson; Treasurer, Mrs. R. S. White. Sick Committee: Mrs. N. J. Anderson, Mrs. Thomas Davis, Mrs. J. S. Miller, Executive Committee: Mrs. G. L. Imes, Mrs. H. M. Ferguson, Mrs. A. N. Johnson. Along the lines of new business some plans were discussed. A social hour was then enjoyed and refreshments served. STOLE FOUR WATCHES In the City Court last Monday, J. D. Moore, who stole an overcoat and four watches from Mr. Porter Streator was bound over to the Criminal Court. The theft was perpetrated last week and the detectives who were at work upon the case found the watches in the possession of a local white pawnbroker. The pawnbroker was fined $10 for violating the city law which requires that a record shall be made of all articles pawned. Mr. Streator is the well-known watchmaker of 6 Murrell street. ...

FLIM-FLAMMED. The Hon. John Early, of Chattanooga, in the opinion of some persons, is only a sham candidate for Governor. He has been put forth to draw the fire of the opposition and later, when the batteries have been unmasked some strong candidate will be named by those in authority. This they think will be done in about the same manner as the delegates to the recent Davidson County farce were selected. This, we say, is the opinion of many persons throughout the state. Whether the opinion is correct or not, we do not know, but we do know that whether Mr. Early is to be a real or a sham candidate the leaders of the premature Davidson County Convention have placed themselves in a bad light by bringing out such an obnoxious candidate—whether he be a real or sham candidate as Mr. Early They have placed every member of the convention in the position of endorsing the disfranchisement of the Negro What have the leaders to say in explanation of the incongruous act of a convention containing a large number of Negroes, endorsing according to orders a man who would make it impossible for a majority of the race to vote? Speak out, gentlemen. You are responsible for the action of the Convention. Three-fourths of the committee-appointed delegates present knew nothing of Mr. Early nor his record, hence simply followed their leaders. Speak out, Mr. Wills, Mr. Napier, Mr. Brock. The delegates were flim-flammed and we want to know if you, gentlemen, are the innocent victims of some one higher up or whether it was by your initiative that the committee-appointed convention was bamboozled into endorsing Mr. John Early. THE COUNTY FARM. If the conditions outlined by the correspondent whose card appears our communication column, obtain at the County Farm or workhouse, the County Court has a job upon its hands that needs immediate attention. These charges have been made repeatedly and there seems to be some truth in them. But Wednesday, after the article in the other column was in our hands, two boys—white boys we believe—accepted a term of three years each in the penitentiary in preference to eleven months and twenty-nine days upon the county farm. One of the boys had served a sentence upon the farm. No one expects the County penal institutions to be conducted as a resort where criminals may take the rest cure; but it is expected that inhuman- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1908 ties shall not be practiced under the name of the law. Ordinary comforts should be provided and persons convicted of misdemeanors should not be so exposed that their health will be impaired. The charge that women are compelled to do such work as is stated in the communication is one that grates upon the sensibilities of any true man. While we cannot vouch for the absolute truth of the charges, we do think that there is something wrong and that Judge Pollard should have the matter investigated and reforms initiated if needed. A SMOOTH ARTIST. Mr. Roosevelt is the smoothest politician before the American people. By his own confession he is the one honest man before the people. At what might be termed the psychological moment of any contest in which he is concerned, he can always be depended upon to give vent to some opinion in vigorous English that will serve to make sentiment as he would have it be. He can be depended upon to give his opinion at such a time that his opponent will be unable to give a reply that will be effective. The famous reply of Mr. Roosevelt to Judge Parker's allegation that the trusts were contributing funds to secure the election of the republican ticket is history. Likewise is the fact that the reply came at a time when it was impossible for Judge Parker to get a reply before the people. Mr. Roosevelt's recent special message which attracted almost universal attention because of its radical nature, came at a time so as to crowd the speech of Gov. Charles E. Hughes out of most of the daily papers. The message by its intemperate tone served to detract attention from the man who is looming as a formidable opponent of Judge Taft. Now at last Mr. Roosevelt, to influence the primary vote in Ohio and, at the same time, if possible, give good standing to the office-holders' conventions being organized in the interest of Taft in the South, has issued a statement denying that federal patronage is being used to accomplish the nomination of Judge Taft. In this case he followed the same tactics used in the Parker letter; a ringing statement at a time when it would not be dwarfed by other news of great importance and at such a time that proof offered in rebuttal would be too late to effect the result he desired. Mr. Roosevelt, also, has permitted First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock to obtain a leave of absence to come South and organize the office-holders for Mr. Taft. Mr. Hitchcock will not be connected with the Post-office Department while on this gum-shoe mission, but the office-holders thoroughly understand that after the National Convention he will either be Chairman of the National Committee or back in the Post-office Department. Of a consequence the office holding republicans of the South are liable to accept every suggestion made by Mr. Hitchcock and endeavor to bring the South solid for his candidate. Teddy is a politician from the jump and is making the effort of his life to force his will upon the whole republican party. Florida fired the first gun in the campaign for delegates to the republican convention. The office-holders being unable to control the selection of delegates pledged to Mr. Taft, bolted the convention and two sets of delegates were named. It was the action of this Convention, it is said, that caused Mr. Hitchcock to temporarily step out of the Post-office Department and take charge of Mr. Taft's campaign in the South. It begins to dawn upon the astute administration forces at Washington that the 521 votes for Taft in the republican convention wont be as easily obtained as they once thought. The South is liable to be solid as they thought, but the solidity, to use a paradox, will be in split delegations. On the same principle that Mr. Taft finds it a matter of congratulation that in some of the Southern states the legislatures have made the law to comply with what previously had been accomplished by fraud, we can congratulate the race because Roosevelt dismissed the black soldiers and the War Department has tried to justify the action! Some pessimist said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions; but Mr. Taft is such a confirmed optimist that one would not be surprised to hear him say that hell itself is paved with good deeds! The man with the office bug is trying to connect with the side that appears to have the best chance. But what, if after all this maneuvering, Tennessee should turn up with a split delegation and the opponents of the administrations should control the Committee on Credentials? Would it be as easy for the men with the bug to fly from Taft to some other candidate as they did from Roosevelt to Taft? The Colored Republican Club of New York City recently gave a banquet in honor of Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Collector Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, that was a notable affair. Men prominent in all the walks of life were present to pay tribute to the leader who is a living exemplar of his own saying: "All things come to them that wait, providing they hustle while they wait." From the news contained in the democratic papers it appears that after all, these premature snap conventions are not to go uncontested. Honesty and fair dealing pay best in the long run, even in politics. In the death of Rev. J. Q. A. Wilhite the Baptists of Alabama lose one of their most influential leaders, and the people of Birmingham lose one of their most progressive citizens. Than his sore arm and the odor of some one else's asafetida bag, the average man would rather have a case of small pox. COMMUNICATION. Treatment of Negro Prisoners. To the Nashville Globe: I wonder if the Negro citizens of Davidson County have ever thought of the treatment of the Negro prisoners of Davidson County? A prisoner is sent to the county road for a term of six months and it rains, or for some cause he cannot work for two-thirds of the time. He has to serve six months with no note given the time that it rained. He also has to serve time to pay for the food that he ate during the time he was unable to work. Secondly, the Negro women have to carry a heavy drill or sledge all day, and if she is sick, or makes complaint of being tired she is whipped so that she is unable to sit down. This whipping is administered to men and women on their backs. When these unfortunate men are out on the road no less than twenty are compelled to sleep in a common express wagon chained together. If during the night a man is sick, or for some necessary cause he wants to get up, it is left entirely with the guard whether he is permitted to do so. If he is not permitted and makes complaint more than once he is beaten unmercifully. Last summer, for three months, the county prisoners were camped on Harding pike, down beside a creek where malaria and other disease germs were prevalent—the worst place on the road. This is not a third of the inhuman treatment that is accorded Negro men and women, who are unfortunate enough to be sent to the county road. Some time ago a man was sentenced to a term of 11 months and 29 days on the county road. Rather than serve 11 months and 29 days on the county road, he accepted a term of two years in the penitentiary. Now, if the treatment given the prisoners on the road is as good as that in the penitentiary, would a man enslave himself for two years when he could be free in one? These people, although criminal, are human, and deserve human treatment. The prisoner cannot make any complaint to the public, for if he does, he is beaten unmercifully. When he gets out and tells it, the answer that he receives is, "You had no business in there." True enough. They have no business to get in, but remember that a man sent to serve time ought D. A.

HUGO STOKES Retribution. To the Nashville Globe: Still the "Night Riders" of the sovereign commonwealth of Kentucky go merrily on, committing their depredations against law and order without let or hinderance. Robin Hood and his merry gang in the forests of England were less bold than the incendaries of the far-famed "Blue Grass State." Poor old Kentucky! She has been torn and rent for years by bloody feuds, and now she has a more aggravating species or problem of lawlessness on her hands. It has assumed such proportions that she seems powerless to cope with it. The revival of her ancient sobriquet, "The dark and bloody ground," would most fittingly characterize her in this day of sore travail and disorder. What is going on in Kentucky is what will leave its serpentine trail over the whole South some day. The lessons of lawlessness, which have been thoroughly taught throughout the South, to be practiced upon the helpless and inoffensive of its citizenry, are now recoiling to torment the children of the instructors. Nothing is surer than the old truth, "You shall reap what you sow." It is as sure as the flat of Fate. The Grecians in putting that same fact, stated it in their own classical way by saying, "Chickens will come home to roost." Poor, distressed "Old Kentucky!" Her chickens of lawlessness are coming home to roost! Nearly every night sees the property of some of her citizens going up in flame and smoke, the work of anarchistic members of the community. Conflagrations, like midnight bonfires, constantly light the darkened skies of Kentucky, telling in a way more accurate and forceful than words that torch and firebrand have been applied and the results and accumulation of the labors of probably a lifetime swept away by ruthless destruction. The sowing and then the reaping. The Night Riders are a worthy progeny of their lawless ancestors, the Ku Klux Klans, a damnable organization that came into existence to bully and cow a man who had been scourged and belashed and demoralized through nearly two and a half centuries. These men who are now burning up Kentucky, were impressionable youths in the '70s, when the flood-gates of every sort of wrong were opened against a newly emancipated and defenseless people. The Old South taught those who were to make the New South such lessons of 'disregard for law, that now, when, serpentlike, it fangs itself, it can do nothing but writhe and squirm in its own self-inflicted misery. The sickler of retribution is wielding his scythe; the sowing has been done, now comes the reaping. The unchecked crime that stalks abroad in Kentucky is but the prelude to the great, tragic industrial upheavals that will some day banish peace and wring the soul of the South. But there is a part of her people that has ever been true and unwavering in their loyalty and allegiance to her welfare and best traditions—these will stand fast and support her in the dark days that are coming on, despite the fact they have been denied the most common rights of humanity.

The murderous work of the White-cappers in attacking the homes of Toney Nickelson and Elias Harrison, well-to-do colored men near Trenton, Tenn., where a lot of colored people had gathered to enjoy themselves, was done on the claim that there were bootlegging and carousing going on. Nickelson and Harrison, it is reported, were ordered to leave their homes several months ago. But owing to the fact they owned their homes and knew they had a right to remain, they refused to go. So Saturday night a gang of whitecappers unceremoniously and without warning opened fire upon those gathered there, pouring in fusilade after fusilade of bullets. The firing was returned by those in a house owned by Harrison. If the law were being violated by those gathered there, then officers of the law should have seen to it that those guilty of such violation were punished. Indiscriminate shooting among women and men, granting that it was done upon the supposition that the law was being violated, was simply an attempt to remedy a lesser crime by a greater and graver one. Several persons were shot. CHINA WEDDING The twentieth anniversary of Captain and Mrs. Richardson's marriage on February 5, was one of the most brilliant entertainments ever given in Nashville.

IMPORTANT CHANGE MADE IN RULING. An important change in the civil service Rule VII. has just been announced by Secretary of the Treasury, George B. Cortelyou. According to the former ruling a civil service appointee, after serving a probationary term of six months must, in order to receive an absolute appointment, be recommended for appointment by the man giving him his appointments, make a new bond and take the oath of office anew, and he could be removed from the service at the end of this period merely by the head of the office stating that his services were not satisfactory. Under the present ruling no new oath, bond and appointment is required at the end of the probationary period. If he is retained longer than six months this is equivalent to an absolute appointment, and furthermore, he cannot be removed at the end of the period of probation merely on the charge of unsatisfactory services. A specific cause for removal must be given. Paragraph 1, Clause C of the new rule is as follows: The person elected for appointment shall be duly notified by the appointing officer, and upon accepting and reporting for duty shall receive from such officer a certificate of appointment for a probationary period of six months. If the conduct or capacity of the probationer be not satisfactory to the appointing officer the probationer shall be notified in writing that at the end of such probationary period he will not receive absolute appointment; otherwise his retention in the service without delinquency or misconduct may be restored to the register of eligibles, in the discretion of the Commission, for the remainder of his period of eligibility.

There was no Taft victory when the republicans of Montgomery county held their convention at the court house in this city last Thursday. Although that following captured the organization from start to finish and elected delegates to the district convention; yet, when a resolution, offered by R. P. Smith, endorsing Taft for the presidential nomination and Evans and Broch for delegates to the National Convention, was read bedlam broke loose and continued for some considerable time. Peace and harmony, however, were secured only by the withdrawal of the resolution. The temperament of the majority of the delegates seemed to have been opposed to the War Secretary's candidacy. The following delegates were named and sent uninstructed: Nace Dixon, B. F. Rodgers, W. H. Randolph and R. P. Smith. All efforts to capture the phantom third party, who had supposed designs on one of the tobacco factories of this city some two weeks ago, when two boys were killed, have failed. Captures have been reported from Memphis, Paris, Louisville and Hopkinsville. Whether there were bona-fide arrests made at the above named places or reports given circulation for mere home consumption is not known. Lest they forget that the mode of selecting members to the city council has been changed and that colored electors will be without representation in the next municipal council unless some effort is made, has caused within the last few weeks several informal talks on this subject. The county convention gave the impetus and the Young Men's Political Club is now an established fact to further the awakening of all voters to the necessity of registration, payment of poll tax and intelligent voting at the coming city election some time next Spring. An epidemic of the girp and pneumonia is prevalent in this community, giving the physicians all the professional work they can handle. Almost every other house has its quota of sickness. So far the mortality has been exceedingly small. The forty-second anniversary of the establishment of St. Peters A. M. E. Church was celebrated last Thursday night with a number of representative members as speakers. Each department was well represented and much interest aroused. The holding of valuable real estate by our citizens has been increased by the purchase of a brick storehouse next door to the Clarksville National Bank by Mr. M. C. Dunbar. Rev. Harry Killebrew, the boy evangelist, formerly of Owensboro, Ky., delivered two interesting sermons before large and appreciative audiences last Sunday at St. Peters Church. Mr. Richard Johnson, of St. Louis, is in the city. Miss Alice Smith, of Dickson, Tenn., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Tellie Cobb. 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.

At the regular business meeting of the Senior Class last Monday afternoon, the principal named the honor pupil for the Commencement exercises of this year. Miss Hattie E. Hodgkins, the accomplished daughter of our esteemed fellow-townsman, Mr. W. H. Wodgkins, won the validictory honor by virtue of the highest scholarship of both the January and June divisions. Mr. Lewis O. Manson, a very fine young man, who is the son of Mr. Joe T. Manson, won the salutatory honor by virtue of having attained the highest scholarship in the June division. Mr. Lewis Manson will be greatly missed next year, as he was a splendid football player and filled an important position on the team. The following officers of the class were elected: Mr. Lewis O. Manson, President; Miss Sadie L. Watson, Sec'y; Miss Ruthy L. Jones, Treasurer. This school was favored with a visit and an address by Rev. G. W. Moore, Field Secretary of the American Missionary Association last week. It was the opinion of both teachers and pupils that it was one of the best addresses that had ever been made to the school. Mr. Moore said that in addition to the three educations that we read and hear so much about, the education of the head, the hand, and the heart, as represented by intellectual education, industrial education and moral education, he wanted to give another—the education of habit. He spoke of the importance of young people acquiring the habit of punctuality, the habit of thoroughness, the habit of truthfulness, the habit of patience, the habit of reliability and --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1908. the habit of purity. Each habit was emphasized with apt illustrations drawn from the large experience and extensive travel of the speaker. He contrasted the educational advantages of the children of Nashville with those of New Orleans and Atlanta, in which two cities they have no High School for colored children and advised the pupils to make the very best use of their opportunities. At the conclusion of his address, a vote of thanks was extended him. Miss Elizabeth B. Moore, the efficient directress of the Cooking Department, has been absent from her post eight days on account of sickness. Her place has been acceptably filled by Miss Birdie Haynes, of Fisk University. The pupils of the Grammar Department have been giving your reporter a tongue-lashing for not sending in the names of those who made high marks in the last written examination in the grammar grades, as well as those who made good marks in the High School grades. For the sake of harmony, Mr. Editor, and to save the neck of your reporter, will you please publish that in the Grammar Department, the following pupils passed with averages attached: Miss E. J. Pinkard's Class: Lawrence Buford, 86; Willie B. Flagg, 90; Frank C. Ledbetter, 96. Miss C. M. Bryant's Class: Jno. T. Barnes, 87. Miss M. E. Berry's Class: Willa Brown, 89. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. There has been quite a stir here for the last two weeks on account of what is reported to be several smallpox cases in town. Business has been somewhat affected as well as the attendance in the schools both white and colored. Things are now assuming normal conditions, and the scare is about all over. The latest prank of cupid was the center shot he gave Miss Alice Buchanan and Mr. Elvin Furgerson. They are now one, and have taken up their abode with Mrs. Maggie Green. The groom is sick at this writing. Turner Normal Institute is still full to overflowing. About all the city students, who fled at the smallpox scare, have returned and resumed their studies. The students of Turner Normal will give a concert at the college Friday night, the 14th. Dr. J. A. Jones visited his family in Nashville last week and spent a couple of days. Mr. N. L. Thomas, of Summitville, is the latest arrival as a student in Turner Normal. The First Baptist Church will soon be without a pastor again. Rev. Mr. Seymour is said to have accepted a call to a church in Clarksville. His leaving will be regretted by all the people of this community. Rev. J. C. McAdams preached an excellent sermon last Sunday at the A. M. E. Church. All the students of Turner were out to the services. Miss Cleo Buchanan and Mr. Hatton Buchanan, formerly of the public school, have recently enrolled with Turner Normal. The T. N. I. Base Ball team is already getting ready to cross bats with Pearl High School at the opening of the season. This is to fill an engagement made last season that could not be met for some reason. The team is much stronger this year. Several new men are on this year. EBENEZER NOTES The funeral of Mr. Andrew Keeling was largely attended. Services were conducted by Revs. N. Smith and Yancy. Mrs. Tennie Morten, who was called to the city on account of the death of her mother, has returned to her home in Osage City, Kansas. The subscribers who are behind will please settle with Mrs. Anna Walker. HERMITAGE NOTES. Miss Emma S. C. Porter was the guest of Miss Lillie Thompson from Friday until Sunday.

OLIVE CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday school was called to order promptly at 9:30 o'clock by the superintendent, Mr. James Hurt. Nearly 200 pupils were present, and a liberal collection was raised. The classes studied the lesson for the day 30 minutes, after which Mr. George Binkley reviewed the lesson in a most impressive way. The school was favored with a number of visitors, among whom were Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, Secretary of B. Y. P. U. Board; Dr. L. G. Jordan, Secretary of Foreign Mission Board of Louisville; Mr. Rayfield, formerly of Tuskegee, but now of Birmingham; Mr. MacIntyre, of Fisk, and Rev. Wm. Beckham. Dr. Jordan and Mr. Rayfield delivered short, stirring addresses to the school and Mr. MacIntyre made a forceful presentation of the coming folk-lore cantata. Benediction was pronounced by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Clark. The regular meeting of teachers and officers was held Tuesday night. The lesson for Sunday. February 16, "Jesus Heals the Nobleman's Son." was discussed and many beautiful points brought out. Rev. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark., addressed the meeting. Benediction was pronounced and the meeting adjourned. BARBARA FRIETCHIE'S GRAVE Now Helping Out the Ambition of a Preacher of the Future. The rest of the United States might unite in celebrating the Whittier centenary if it wanted to, but one town to which the Quaker poet gave fame couldn't be persuaded to join. Frederick, Md., is divided still as to whether the lady with "the snow white hair" really did shake the Stars and Stripes out the window of the little house on Patrick street, and it has never been very grateful to Whittier for the fame it got out of the poem. But Barbara Friedchle did live there at any rate. What is very much more to the ends of one youngster with a strong commercial instinct, the lady is buried there and without a headstone of any kind. Moreover, there are enough tourists whose nerves once tingled with delight as they chanted the lines "Who touches a hair of yon grav head," etc., to provide a pretty steady stream of visitors to the high walled cemetery. The key, a monstrous affair on a foot long stick, is kept at the sexton's house, and as the key squeaks in the ponderous old lock of the high grav wall it seems as if, in keeping with all the dignified old town, the opening gates ought to reveal at least something worth while. The place more often sports a fair hay crop, in which one prowls about hunting for the grave of the supposed heroine. "Wahter see Barbara Frietchie's grave?" The accent of the very small faced bespectacled boy barely visible over the top of the wall—his ladder must be all but too short for him—is indescribable with its trace of the South and its veiled hint of business. "Yes. Do you know where it is?" Evidently he was only waiting for a chance to be willing, and with trousers rescued by just one suspender he drops over the wall and heads like a bee for the grave. Evidently too he knew just what questions every one asked, for he at once pointed out the fields across which Stonewall swept that day when he came to the brook beside which the Frietchie cottage stood. "Really, now, do you believe Barbara Frietchie did that?" The boy begged the question with "Don't you want a pebble to keep?" coaxingly pointing to the top of the grave, neatly heaped with white stones, and when the visitors rather hesitated urged "Most folks'r right fond o' pebbles. Uncle'n I put more'n two bushes on that ere grave this summer beside them ere now." And then nudgingly: "Most everybody gi' me a dime. I'm savin' my money'n"—triumphantly, as if that ought to settle the value of white pebbles from Barbara Frietchie's grave—"I'm going to be a preacher."—New York Sun. PEOPLE'S INVESTMENT AND BANKING COMPANY. A Birmingham Institution Is Making Rapid Progress The first annual report of the People's Investment and Banking Company of Birmingham, came out in the form of an affidavit showing the financial growth of the institution in twelve months. It is the second banking concern of the great city in the south, where the iron and coal industry seems to thrive and where the Negroes handle thousands of dollars each week. The president and the promoter of this institution is Prof. W. L. Lauderdale, who is also President of the Great Southern and Industrial Home. The affidavit shows a decided increase in the deposits during the past three months by more than $9,600.00. They handled in actual cash the first year $95,000. It was the only banking concern in that city that paid cash to its depositors during the recent financial panic, refusing to abide by the decision of the clearing house at Birmingham. At a recent election of officers, the following were elected: W. L. Lauderdale, President; Dr. R. D. Macklin, Vice President; A. D. Jordan, Cashier; Thomas A. Harris, Acting Cashier. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: W. L. Lauderdale, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. R. B. Maclin, N. Birmingham, Ala.; Rev. T. W. Walker, Birmingham, Ala.; Griffin G. Logan, D. D., Holly Springs, Miss.; C. M. Wells, D. D., Montgomery, Ala.; E. J. Greggs, M. D., Bessemer, Ala.; T. J. Flood, Montgomery, Ala.; H. L. Calloway, Birmingham, Ala.; S. S. Bradford, Birmingham, Ala.; H. C. Ellington, Birmingham, Ala.; N. A. James, Washington, D. C.; J. D. Dickerson, Fort Bayard, New Mexico; Mrs. Mary E. Allen, Atlanta, Ga. The institution is in a building owned by the Great Southern Insurance Co. at 1727 Third avenue, North, and is doing business on capital stock of 10,000, which is to be increased next year to $50,000. REV. J. P. ROBINSON, D.D., OF LITTLE ROCK, ARK. On Tuesday the 11th inst. Nashville had the pleasure of entertaining Rev. J. P. Robinson, D.

Ellington and Prof. Talley in the afternoon, he addressed the Teacher's Meeting at Mt. Olive Baptist Church at 8 o'clock and left on the 11:30 train for his home in Arkansas. Dr. Robinson is not only a great minister but a great business man, being connected with the Capital City Savings Bank of Little Rock, Ark., the leading Negro banking concern in the state of Arkansas, and the pastor of the largest Baptist church in the state. NEGRO RECEIVES MORTAL WOUNDS Mt. Pleasant, Tenn., February 10.—Mr. Frank Booze was shot and critically wounded Saturday afternoon by Jarret Venov. Mr. Venoy and a crowd of men, it is stated, were teasing Booze in a blacksmith shop operated by Mr. Wm. Upshaw. Mr. Booze became enraged and is said to have told Venov he was going to kill him. He left immediately, walking just across the street to his room and secured a gun. As he walked out of the door of his room Venov, who was standing in the blacksmith shop door, just opposite, hallaced and told him not to advance on him. As Booze stepped off the sidewalk Venov opened fire with a 32-calibre pistol, shooting him through the bowels. After the second shoot Booze wheeled and fell on the edge of the sidewalk. Deputy Sheriff Harris arrested Venov and locked him up Venoy claims self-defense and said he was afraid of Booze and shot him thinking his own life was in danger Venoy is a blacksmith employed by Mr. Upshaw, and bears a good reputation for peace and quiet. Booze, until recently, was employed by the telephone company. BIRTHDAY DINNER. Mrs. Dock Stubblefield entertained an Friday evening, February 7, in honor of her niece, Maggie B.
