BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS AND B. Y. P. U. CHAUTAUQUA—SESSIONS WILL BE HELD IN JUNE—ALL OF THE BIG CITIES IN THE SOUTH WERE BIDDING FOR MEETING—LARGE REPRESENTATION EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXERCISES. Nashville, Tenn.—The city of Jacksonville, Fla., has captured the next National Baptist Sunday-School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua. This announcement was made by the National Baptist Publishing Board, the National Baptist Young People's Union Board, and the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, through their secretaries in this city to-day. There had been quite a contest as to where the 1908 session of this important Sunday-school and Young People's Union movement would be held. Many of the leading cities in the South, through their representatives, had made application for this coming denominational meeting. Such cities as Galveston, Tex., Muskogee, Okla., Little Rock, Ark., Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala., Memphis, Tenn., Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S. C., were in the race with Jacksonville; but the majority of the requests and the fact of Jacksonville's important location caused the boards to give Florida's metropolis the Congress for 1908. The announcement is made to-day that the facts have already been communicated to the officials of the Florida Baptist Sunday-School Convention, the Florida State Baptist Convention and to the pastor, officers and members of the Bethel Institutional Church at Jacksonville, who had issued special invitations to the management of the Congress to hold their sessions with them. Drs. Isaac, Boyd and Clark state that they had received two telegrams from Jacksonville while the Congress was in session in New Orleans last June, asking that the next sessions be held with them, but no answer could be given them. Another urgent request and a petition was sent by the state to the National Convention at Washington, which could not be replied to, so to-day the announcement is made. The meeting will convene on Wednesday, June 24, and continue through until Monday, June 29. The sessions are to be held with the Bethel Baptist Institutional Church in the city of Jacksonville, of which Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., is pastor. This is no doubt one of the most costly churches owned by the Baptists in the United States. The church cost in the neighborhood of $100,000 and is well capable of entertaining this young people's movement. These annual Sunday-School and Younge People's meetings are calculated to do untold good for the race. The fact that the meeting goes to Jacksonville, which is the largest city in the State of Florida, brings to mind that this movement had its birth in Nashville in 1906. The first session was held at the Spruce Street Baptist Church. It was largely attended. Nashville got an opportunity to show just what she could do towards entertaining national organizations. The promoters of the Sunday-School Congress are honored of having the 1909 session held in some Tennessee city. This, of course, depends upon the activity of the people. Rev. Dr. Ford is inbilant over the fact that the meeting comes to his church. He has postponed so long in the far West until since he has been pastoring in Florida, he did not know just how enthusiastic the people were along racial and denom inational lines. --- Dr. C. B. Wickham. of New Orleans. has been down with la grone. The reports are that he is improving in health. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908. NEGRO BANKERS MEET. Oil Mill Ways and Means Committee Holds Session. Mound Bayou, Miss., February 8. The Mississippi Negro Bankers' Association has closed a successful session lasting two days. The Association was called to order by Chas. Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, and President of the Mississippi Negro Business League. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. S. Bowman After some preliminaries it was ascertained that representatives from all the ten Negro banks in Mississippi were on hand. Prominent among them were H. H. King, Yazoo City; J. H. D. Robinson, Durant; W. W. Cox, Indianola; T. G. Ewing, Vicksburg; Dr. J. B. Banks and Rev. M. E. Davis, Natchez, W. E. Mollison, Vicksburg; H. L. Slaughter, Vicksburg; Dr. W. W. Manaway, Jackson; John W. Strauther, Greenville, and Dr. H. E. Connor, Brookhaven. Dr. W. R. Pettiford, President of the Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, Ala., was the guest of the Bankers' Association, and his counsel was sought and words received with marked earnestness and helpfulness. It will be remembered that Dr. Pettiford is the founder of the first Negro bank in America. On Thursday night welcome addresses were delivered by Hon. I. T. Montgomery, founder of the town of Mound Bayou, and by Rev. A. A. Cosey. Responses were made by Rev. H. H. King and Dr. L. W. W. Manaway. An address was also delivered by Dr. Pettiford upon the subject. "Banks as Agents in the Development of Negro Enterprises," which was full of information and also full of hope for the future of the race. On Friday the excercises were held at Green Grove Baptist Church. Among the subjects discussed during the two days' session were "Directors and Their Duties." Securities," "The Negro Banker." "Should Mississippi Have a Bank Ex aminer?" "Panics and Negro Banks." The people of Mound Bayou turned out in great numbers to all of the sessions, and they are loud in their expressions as to the good they derive from the meeting of the Association here. The following named officers were elected for the next year: L. K Atwood, President, Jackson; W. W. Cox First Vice President, Indianola. T. G. Ewing, Secretary. Vicksburg. H. H. King, Treasurer. Yazoo City Executive Committee: Dr. W. A. Attaway, Greenville; John W. Strauther Greenville; J. B. Banks, Natchez; W. L. Mitchell, Columbus; Chas. Banks Mound Bayou; M. E. M. Mollison, Vicksburg, and S. D. Redmond, Jackson The next annual meeting of the Association will be held at Natchez on the 2nd Wednesday of February, 1909. The chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Mound Bavon Oil Mill and Manufacturing Co., Hon. I. T. Montgomery, had issued a call for a meeting of the Committee for February 6, and upon the calling of the roll by A. A. Cosev. Secretary of the Ways and Means Committee the following named members were found present: I. T. Montgomery, H. H. King, John W. Strauther, T. G. Ewing, W. W. Cox, J. H. D. Robinson, M. F. Davis, J. H. Bufford. The Treasurer John W., Francis, came forward and made a very encouraging report, showing that several thousand dollars had been subscribed and collected. All of the members of the Committee expressed themselves as being well pleased at what had been done. Hon. W. W. Cox said he wanted an Oil Mill meeting held at Indianola as soon as possible and that he was certain of large results. Rev. J. H. Bufford of Rosedale, gave his check for one hundred shares ($100). Mr. S. Cox, a large planter at Eutaw, was introduced to the Committee and he said it was not the time for speedmaking but gave his check for fifty shares ($50). The Committee transactions much important business. To say the least, the Oil Mill is a popular enterprise among all classes of people, and the financial leaders of the race in Mississippi have resolved that it must be built. Those desiring information concerning the Oil Mill may receive by addressing Rev. A. A. Cosey, Secretary Mound Bayou. HOEFMAN HALL NOTES.

REV. E. J. BATTY. Principal. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH CROWDED WITH SORROWING FRIENDS—DR. CLARK DELIVERED TOUCHING DISCOURSE ON YOUNG MAN'S LIFE—BEAUTIFUL MUSIC BY COMPANIONS OF THE DECEASED. A crowd of sorrowing friends that taxed the capacity of Mt. Olive Baptist Church assembled Monday afternoon to pay the last tribute of respect to all that was mortal of Ellis C. McNairy, who departed this life Sunday morning. Mr. McNairy had been prominent as a member of this church, having been for a number of years connected with the choir as a member and as chorister and the large attendance at his funeral obsequies attested his wide popularity. He had been also during his short life of thirty-six years connected with various musical organizations of the city. Mr. McNairy was one of the pioneer members of the Knights of Pythias, being a Past Chancellor of Damon Lodge, No. 2, and one of the organizers of the Grand Lodge in the state of Tennessee. This Order, in which he was so highly esteemed, was in charge of the remains and a representative number of Knights accompanied them from the home to the church and from the church a portion of the way to the cemetery. The services at the church were indeed impressive. Dr. Clark, from long association with Mr. McNairy, was able to give a personal side to his discourse which brought tears to the cheeks of many of the men and women present, and especially was this noticeable among those who knew the history of Mt. Olive Church since Mr. McNairy's connection therewith. Following Rev. Dr. Clark, a few remarks were made by Revs. Slaughter and Merritt. The music rendered for the occasion by the Mt. Olive Baptist Church choir was very beautiful and appropriate for such a sad occasion. Mrs. Parker, who was a member of the Great Southern Sextette, an organization of which Mr. McNairy had been one of the most active members, sang a solo—"Calvary." But the most touching incident of the whole services, excepting Dr. Clark's sermon, was the solo by Mr. Samuel Moore, the lifelong friend and associate of Mr. McNairy. The remains were deposited in the vault at Mt. Ararat Cemetery, services being held in behalf of the Pythian Order under the direction of C. C., Wm. Royster, of Damon Lodge, No. 2. J. O. Battle, acting Prelate. Those acting as pallbearers were former associates of the deceased and members like their departed brother had been of the Grand Lodge. The pallbearers were J. W. Blaine, J. O. Battle, A. M. Cockrill, S. W. Shelby, R. E. Gee, S. V. Lofton. Mr. McNairy was born in this city in 1872, and with the exception of a few months at a time, spent all of his life here. As stated above, he was most of his life connected with some musical organization. He took a great interest in affairs that concern the race from a viewpoint of obtaining all the rights guaranteed the Negro by the Constitution, and was largely instrumental in organizing The Douglass Club of which he was at one time the president. For several months, by seasons, Mr. McNairy has been at French Lick, Ind., for his health, and when he came home during December it was only to spend the holidays in the city. He leaves a brother, a sister, two sisters-in-law and a host of friends to mourn his loss. DIFFICULT OPERATION. DIPHILE OPERATION Miss Annie Davis, of Walden University, was operated on at Mercy Hospital last Friday by Drs. J. A. McMillan and J. E. Wells, a large fibroid tumor being removed. Miss Davis is reported to be recovering nicely. SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT. Of the Union Savings Bank of Vicksburg, Miss. This institution opened for business two years ago, and has earned net profits of 23 per cent. It is doubtful if there is another banking institution in the South that has made so good a showing. The Cashier, Mr. T. G. Ewing, Jr., was born in Nashville, Tenn., and went to Vicksburg in 1902. Since he went there, he has organized two banks and has promoted a number of race enterprises. He also stands high in fraternal Orders, being a 32nd degree Mason and Supreme Treasurer of the Knights of Canaan of the World. He also is secretary of the Mississippi Negro Bankers' Association, the only State association of Negro Bankers in the world. At the last meeting of the Association held at Mound Bayou, Mr. Ewing was elected delegate to the Negro National Bankers' Association to be held in Baltimore during the present year. He is also First Vice President of the Mississippi Negro Business League and member of the Advisory Board for the Mound Bayou Oil Mill & Mfg. Co.

NASHVILLE POLICEMAN BLIND TO THE LIMIT OF HIS POWER. Goes on Rampage, Spreading Terror in Hjs Wake. On Tuesday of this week a number of Nashville's stalwart law "fumblers" were making arrests on and near the corner of Jo Johnston and Third avenues. The most "punishous" gentlemen had succeeded in arresting several men but did not have quite a wagon full; so one little narrow-faced fellow, who appeared to have been kept out of the wet district proceeded to fill the vacant seats in the wagon—telegraph poles, ash boxes, men at work, or what not, they all looked alike to him. Every one he got in reach of he grabbed and attempted to shove in the wagon. His language was not such as a sober, sane man would use, and his actions were like unto those of a raving maniac. All who saw him in action were of the opinion that he was filler of the red article than good judgment. So much so that he appeared to be blind to "discernability" as well as reason. People in the vicinity were all terror-stricken and it looked at one time as if the citizens would have to take a hand and put the nuisance in chains to protect the women and children. MASKED VALENTINE ENTER- AINMENT. A Masked Valentine Party was given in the parsonage of the Howard Congregational Church on Friday evening. A large number of the bens and friends of the church were present and joined in the festivities of the occasion. Most of the young ladies were masked and these were later placed upon the auction block and sold to the highest bidder. The bidding was very spirited, the high mark being one dollar twenty-five cents. Others sold at prices ranging from 49 cents to $1.15. The costumes in -some instances were grotesque and in others artistic, though humorous. Refreshments were served in connection with the entertainment, in the Sunday-school room of the church. CONVENES WEDNESDAY, JULY 15-CONTINUES SEVEN DAYS. EIGHT THOUSAND DELEGATES ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THESE SESSIONS-FOUR GREAT MASS MEETINGS PLANNED SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS TO BE HELD IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL CONVENTION. The leading thinkers all over this country are learning more and more every day that for holding national gatherings there is not a city in the South equal to Nashville in the many things to be considered that are necessary to make such gatherings a success. Many great meetings have been held here from time to time, and all of them have spoken in the highest terms of the hospitality of the citizens of the historic city of Nashville Again, this is a centrally located point, and easy of access. Four of the leading railroads of the country have lines running into the capital of the Volunteer State; the climate here is genial the year round and other conditions exist to make a stay of a few days here pleasant in every way possible. Nashville's citizens have cause to feel congratulated to learn that the delegates to the first session of the National Primitive Convention saw fit to select this city in which to hold their second session. The National Secretary, Rev. C. F. Sams D. D., of Key West, Fla., speaking of the meeting in the National Primitive Baptist Advanced Quarterly for the second quarter of 1908, has the following to say: Secretaray's Notes. The National Primitive Baptist Convention, organized at Huntsville, Ala., July, 1907, has done more to unite the churches scattered throughout the country than anything else with an unorganized people to work with, and some of them opposing and fighting everything in sight. And yet by the help of the Lord we have kept the work going on. It has cost money to do this. The National Secretary spent every cent he could get his hands on to advertise the National movement and in bringing about a sentiment for union, peace and progress. We promised to get out our Sunday-school literature and we are doing this at a great sacrifice, but we are going on. Our Sunday-schools have responded nobly to our aid by ordering literature. Of course some of our brethren think we ought to furnish them with literature and when we send them the bill they are insulted and begin to kick and frown, and yet they can beat the band about being Primitive Baptists. As we are in the midst of a financial panic, and failures some times staring us in the face. We must thank God and take courage—think of it. Since our National meeting at Huntsville nearly two hundred and fifty Sunday-schools have been organized, besides Young People's Volunteer Bands, Women's Auxiliaries and Benevolent Societies. Rev. R. A. McCloud, our National Evangelist, will go into every state before the National Convention meets. Dr. L. W. Thomas, Secretary of Education, has been overburdened with work. The National Banner is published at Mexia, Texas, with the polished Prof. A. R. Foreman in the editorial chair. Prof. B. F. Lee, of Austin, Texas, the financial Secretary, is appealing to the churches and auxiliaries for $6,000 at the National Convention. Dr. J. H. Carey, the National President, is on the road, but in our judgment it would be better for him to remain at home. Prof. F. M. Fitch and Dr. J. T. Martin are fighting against all odds at the National Industrial and Theological College. The Primitive Baptist College at Tallahassee, Fla., has a three-story building in course of erection; the Thom COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER.

COLORED TEACHERS' INSTITUTE The colored teachers of Davidson County met in regular session last Saturday. Prof. W. H. Card being engaged in other work pertaining to the institute, Prof. E. B. Buford acted as chairman. Being called to order, the institute opened with song, Mrs. S. A. King performing at the instrument. A very fervent prayer was offered by Prof. R. G. Rideout. The regular programme was taken up and Prof. R. G. Rideout discussed the first forty pages of English Literature. The program was not completed when it was made known that Prof. R. L. Jones, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was in an adjoining room ready to begin his lecture. By this time quite an audience had assembled, consisting of city teachers as well as county teachers, and a large number of visiting friends of education, all anxiously awaiting the lecture of the great educator. On entering the room he was greeted with applause, followed by all rising and singing, "Our country, 'tis of thee." Prof. E. B. Buford introduced the State Superintendent in a few well chosen words. Prof. Jones began by expressing himself gratified or being present. He urged upon all to lead a life of usefulness throughout its extent. He continued by saying that a life of usefulness does not consist in what one knows or what one thinks, so much as in what one is Was $3.50 Sale Price $1.98 YOU CAN'T MISS IT doing and his general bearing. "There is no use in any colored teacher or person complaining of no opportunities," says he, "your opportunities are good and sufficient, if we would live a life of usefulness." The fact was emphasized that the growth and advancement of the societies of people are not measured by a few distinguished characters therein, but by the people who compose them. The height attained in the scale of advancement, said he, by the colored people can not be measured by Booker T. Washington any more than that of the white people by George Washington. Look to the schoolroom for the settlement of all our problems. It is the source on which to draw for intelligence and capacity to deal with the problems of our day. Prof. Jones stated that he had heard complaints about the changes occasionally made in the course of study, and gave as a reason that the growth and development of the people demand them. As there are changes along these lines, there must necessarily be changes in the course of study to meet them. Before the Civil War it was claimed that only one of the people should be educated—the professional people only; but since that time it has been found necessary to put forth efforts to make all intelligent. The lack of efficient teachers has hampered both the white and colored schools alike, and efforts are being exercised to improve them. Here he quoted the words of a writer who said that a teacher should teach ten per cent of what he knows and use the remaining ninety per cent to enforce what he teaches. "The salary of teachers is not what it should be. Good teachers should be paid well for their work, and bad teachers are being paid too well for their work. The work of a poor teachers cannot be repaired for years. Sixty per cent of the colored people can read and write, which means that you are advancing notwithstanding what may seem to oppose your march. People in the official or professional ranks are all servants and the people are their masters, but the advancement of the people depends upon those about them." "Men or women are valuable to the amount of service rendered, and not for your appearance or favorable utterances made of you. This is a doctrine," said he, "which should be taught pupils in the schoolroom to enable them to meet the conditions in life." Prof. Jones closed his lecture by declaring the work of a good teacher to be crowned with immortality, more lasting than iron or marble. Prof. W, P. Rose in a few remarks commended the work of Prof. R. L. Jones and Prof. W. C. Anderson and motioned a vote of thanks to the former for the able lecture. Among the white educators present were R. L. Right, Supt. W. C. Anderson and Prof. J. L. Right. The first mentioned spoke in high terms of attendance of the Institute and the music for the occasion. The following colored city teachers were asked for remark and responded in a few very fitting expressions: Profs. J. L. Watson, J. B. Batte, F. N. Green, W. M. Allen, J. E. Miller, W. F. Reynolds, Hardy L. Keith, R. S. White and Miss J. Lapsly. MT. OLIVE CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. Mt. Olive Church Sunday-school opened Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock. Superintendent Hurt presiding. A large number of pupils was present. A most Liberal collection was raised. The classes after song service studied the lesson for the day, "Jesus Heals the Nobleman's Son," for thirty minutes after which it was very ably reviewed by Mr. J. Blaine Boyd. He summed the lesson up into three striking points and drove them home to the hearts of the hearers. After the review the superintendent stated that next Sunday would be rally day for the classes. Each teacher said publicly that efforts would be put forth to show the banner, by raising the largest collection. The Superintendent hopes to raise at least $50. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. T.-J. Lewis. Tuesday night the regular meeting of teachers was held. Quite a number was present. The lesson for Sunday, February 23, "Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda," was discussed in a most helpful way. WILLING WORKERS' CLUB. Mrs. J. C. Lott was hostess of the Willing Workers' Club Monday night February 17. Short talks for the good of the club were made by several of the members. Rev. E. M. Lawrence, Superintendent of Missions, addressed the club, saying many encouraging things. At the conclusion of the business meeting a menu of three courses was served. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Maddux, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Amos, Rev. and Mrs. E. M. Lawrence, Mesdames Room 3 & 4. NASHVILLE, TENN.

BY R. M. BOYD, D. D. Is the title of an address or a paper before the Philosophical Institute of Edinburgh, Scotland, by Andrew Carnegie, Esq., LL D. Being overburdened with the twofold duties—with the oversight of both the Baptist Publishing House and as a General Missionary-Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, I have but little time these days to give to research and reading (not half as much as I should). But last Saturday's mail brought to my address a well-printed, well-edited and neatly bound, thirty-two page pamphlet marked "Strictly Personal." This writing on the cover or wrapping attracted my attention. Hence I removed the wrapping and my eyes glanced hastily over the title page. In bold letters I saw at the top of the page the one phrase, "The Negro in America." After glancing over the title page I decided to spend the Sabbath day quietly at home and give this pamphlet a careful reading, and I shall never regret the loss or the time given on this Sabbath day to the careful perusal of each line of this magnificent and wonderful collection of facts by this great scholar, historian, philanthropist and millionaire; and I employ this method of commenting upon this address for the benefit of the many thousand readers of The National Baptist Union, and I ask it as a personal favor to the race that every reader of The Nashville Globe who has any desire to know any of the true facts and conditions of the Negro race, that are now or have existed for the last forty years, to secure a copy of this inspiring address read carefully and digest every paragraph in it and then pass it along to your neighbor, and especially to your sceptical white neighbor who is disposed to believe every phantom, rumor and falsehood that is being circulated against the Negro as a race in the daily papers and Associated Press dispatches. We only have to mention the name of Andrew Carnegie, and every well-informed person knows that Andrew Carnegie has reached the stage both as to age, experience and wealth where he has no favors to ask, no ambitions to gratify and no enemies to punish. Hence the facts gathered by him and laid before the Philosophical Institute, Edinburgh, Scotland, is a legacy of knowledge to the present generation and a benevolent and philanthropic gift to the ten million oppressed, despised, outraged and wronged Negroes of America. Andrew Carnegie is known far and wide for his philanthropical, pecuniary gifts. He has given his millions, not only in America, but in Europe. The cities can be numbered by the scores where the Andrew Carnegie libraries, costing from $10,000 to $100,000 each, stand out to the lasting memory of this American genius and financial wonder. These gifts have been made alike to all needy, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude; but not a single philanthropical gift, not a single check that has been drawn upon the bank account of this great financier has been so generously given as the contribution of this paper to the world, especially to the Negro race. The facts set forth in this careful research for truth must be accepted as truth for the reasons above stated. Andrew Carnegie has nothing to ask of the American Negro, either financially or politically, hence this is purely and simply a philanthropical gift without hope of reward, except in the peace of mind that will come with the reflection that "my duty has been performed to a helpless people without fear or favor." To inspire the reader to inquire for this pamphlet and read it, I quote a few of the wonderful facts set forth by this great man. On pages 1 and 2, the committee of twelve has given a biographical sketch of this wonderful, self-made man, as he rose from the lowest state of poverty to the position of an uncrowned financial king. On page 3 of this pamphlet Mr. Carnegie, after apologizing to the audience, and introducing his subject, gave the following paragraph: "In one respect the problem is unique. The Negro is called upon to rise in the scale from slavery to citizenship in the presence of a civilized representative of the highest,—his shortcomings, backsliding, failures, cannot but be numerous and discouraging and a contrast between the whites and blacks in many respects, such as to produce the belief in the minds of their former masters that the end strived for is unattainable. Once a slave, always a slave, so far as the Negro race is concerned, is their natural conclusion." Here Mr. Carnegie fully introduces the difficult and discouraging task given him to handle.

All of M ging because it must indeed be discouraging to attempt to give the bright side of so difficult and unpopular subject before such an aristocratic, intelligent and wealthy audience as must have made up the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh, Scotland. With this subject introduced, Mr. Carnegie sets about reviewing the American slave from 1619 to 1865. When he had briefly shown a few of the conditions and horrors of the institution of slavery, he then further attempts to introduce the Negro problem from 1865 to 1900 as follows, on page 8: "Here we have between four and five million of slaves, formerly held in ignorance, unable to read or write, without churches, schools, or property of any kind, yet called upon to perform the duties of citizenship, their former masters surrounding them incensed at their elevation. * * * After a period of fifty years, we are here to-night to enquire whether the American Negro has proved his capacity to develop and improve; this I purpose to answer by citing the facts." After thus introducing his subject he showed that the ethnologist would investigate this problem by making three enquiries. First, Has the Negro proved himself able to live in contact with civilization and increase as a freeman, or does he slowly die out like the American Indian, Maori or Hawaiian? Secondly, Has he a passion for education, does he desire to be able to read, write, and cipher? Third, Is he industrious, frugal and Every Man in Nashyille should Take Advantage of This Razor SALE LEW ROBERTS "The Cutlery Man" 16 THE ARCADE NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE saving? In answer to the questions, Mr. Carnegie shows that he has made diligent and patient researches, and quotes from the statistics and census reports given by governmental authorities; statistics gathered by the enemy of the Negro; gathered, collected and compiled by the very people that mostly oppose the Negro's march to progress and civilization. He answers the first question by showing twenty years of the Negro's increase. He shows that the Negro increased from 1860 to 1880 from 4,000,000 to 6,580,793; and from 1880 to 1900 (twenty years more) he had increased to 8,840,789, showing that in the last twenty years the Negro's increase was 2,259,996. He shows that their rate of increase almost doubled the rate of increase of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. He further shows that their number will by the next census, 1910, be more than 10,000,000. He gives a plausible reason why the percentage of increase of blacks in America has not been equal to that of the white percentage of increase—for the reason that there is no black immigration to America, hence while the whites are drawing their percentage of increase from the millions of immigrants* that are pouring into the United States, the Negro's percentage of increase must depend upon its natural birth-rate of increase. Hence the increase is greater. As to the second ethnological inquiry he shows that the Negro has the desire not only to read, write and cipher, but he attains to the highest lit- erary development. He shows again by the census that in thirty years the Negro had decreased his illiteracy 43 per cent. He further shows under this same inquiry that the Negro was not wholly dependent upon the whites to educate his children, but that according to the facts and figures gathered from seven Southern states themselves, in a single year (the year 1899) out of the total cost of common school education of the $4,675,504, the Negroes themselves contributed or paid $3,762,617, leaving only $912,887 to be contributed by the whites to Negro education. He then turns under the same inquiry and shows that not only their schools, but their churches have made wonderful progress. He shows that in this period of time the Negroes have organized and built 23,462 churches with a seating capacity for 6,800,000 attendants. He shows that their church property has an assessed value of $26,626,448. He warns his Scottish hearers that it is possible that they are not prepared to digest these figures. Turning from this inquiry, Mr. Carnegie takes up his third ethnological inquiry, "Is the American Negro industrial, frugal and saving?" He begins this inquiry as follows: "The Negro has often been described as lazy and indolent, yet the census of 1000 shows that in the South 84 1-10 per cent of the colored males and 40 7-10 of the females over ten years of age are engaged in gainful occupations, while of the white population of the country the percentage is 79 5-10 and only 16 per cent of females."

ANTEED paragraph alone delivered at the time, in the place and by the man who delivered it, is worth millions to the Negro. Not because it is the saying of Mr. Carnegie, but because these are facts gathered by the enumerators or governmental census takers. These facts were gathered by the government employees in 1900, as they went from house to house and saw each individual Negro, male or female, and inquired of his or her occupation. When these figures are read by the learned Europeans and searchers after truth, it will give the European quite a different idea of the so-called worthless American Negro, and it is my opinion that thousands who read the American daily papers will wonder how an intelligent, Christian people can so misrepresent an inoffensive, helpless and oppressed people, and will cause them to ask, "Why this continual abuse and hatred of the Negro?" Mr. Carnegie further says, "The Negro is chiefly employed in agriculture. The census of 1900 shows 1,344,125 male agricultural laborers and 757,822 females." When this fact, as shown by Mr. Carnegie, is brought out, it will tell the European where the American cotton comes from and who is the producer. He further sets forth in the following words: "The Negro agriculturists, as has been seen, are rapidly becoming landlords. Those residing in cities show similar ambition to acquire homes."

SPEAK OUT. It was to have been expected that after the visit of the Hon. John Early to Nashville to attend the meeting of the State Executive Committee, a ringing denial of the charge that Mr. Early is in favor of the disfranchisement of the Negro voters would have been sent to this office by the powers that be in this county. But such is not the case. Instead of answering the charge directly, it would seem, that those who were responsible for the Davidson County snap convention have succeeded in incorporating into the call for a state convention a retro-active clause which will give to their manipulations the color of legality. As further evidence of the Pecksniffian policy being pursued, the following was adopted among the resolutions in order to make it appear that those who have been party to these snap affairs were the unco guid, and those who ask for a square deal and that the voice of the party be heard in the selection and construction of delegates are enemies to the common good: "Resolved by the State Executive Committee of Tennessee, that we look with anger and shame on any member of our party who is not willing for the majority to rule. Hereby enter our most severe condemnation against any who by word or act encourage contesting delegations to any convention in this state or nation. "Resolved, that any that strive to keep up strife and discord in the party should be considered as traitors and condemned to political death by the Republicans of their locality." The rule of the majority has been the only thing that has been contended for by The Globe. We do not believe that there is anyone so simple as to maintain that the majority of the party in this county is in favor of a man whose views are obnoxious to most of the voters of the said county. And we know that if the State Executive Committee should be consistent with the resolutions adopted this week it would throw out every committee selected delegate sent in from Davidson County. But why are the leaders of Davidson County so silent about the candidate for Governor whose boom they started? Major Wills has ever been ready to reply when he thinks he is misrepresented. The same is true of Mr. Napier. No one expected a reply from Mr. Brock. Can it be that these men have been flim-flammed by the lily-whites and yet lack the courage to speak out? Can it be that these men value the confidence placed upon them heretofore by a race so little as to become sponsors for a candidate whose views concerning the rights of the Negro to vote are as radical as those held by reactionaries of the other --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908. party? It is due the republicans of Davidson County, it is due the Negroes of Tennessee, that the leaders who caused John H. Early to be endorsed as a candidate for Governor, explain why such a lemon was handed to even a committee selected Convention. Speak out, gentlemen. The rank and file is waiting to hear. THE DEMOCRATIC DONKEY. The donkey is a fit emblem for the democratic party. Some member of that heterogeneous mass of humanity known as democracy can always be depended upon to make an ass of himself. There is only one thing upon which the party seems to be consistently and persistently united and that is in braying at the wrong time. The latest bray comes from the democratic emblem personified in Representative Rainey, of Illinois. Mr. Rainey's address was delivered in the house last Thursday. He declared that the democratic party was the white man's party both North and South and he did not care how long it remained so. "There would not be much of a republican party in this country," he charged, "if it was not for the contributions from the trusts and for the Negro vote." One would judge from the tenor of the speech that Mr. Rainey must be from the extreme southern end of Illinois, but even this should not excuse the asininity of his outbreak. This democrat makes the assertion that his party is defeated because of the trusts and the Negro vote, yet such braying as his drives from his party the strength that it needs to obtain success. The most elemental mind can readily see that if these men who are bought by contributions from the trusts are democrats, the party must be composed of a most reprehensible lot. The most elemental mind ought to know that such charges reflect upon the moral standard of the party to which Rainey belongs. The most elemental mind should recognize that if the sole cause of republican success was the contributions from the trusts and the Negro vote that for the democratic party to win a stop must be put to contributions from trusts and the Negro vote won over from the republican party. But the democrats, true to their emblem, fail to recognize that now is the time when the Negro vote could in all probability be divided. They get in Congress and bray for home consumption about "a white man's government" and "a white man's party." To win they must split the Negro vote of the North, but in Maryland they must needs get so much in love with the advancement of the Negro that they would force every one of the race to read and write before he can vote and, if possible, avoid the same test for the whites. The democratic party is entitled to its emblem and no fear need be felt for its appropriation by any other political party as long as such men as Representative Rainey are sent to Congress. BROWNSVILLE AN ISSUE The New York World, in a special from Washington, states that the republicans are worried over the Brownsville investigation. It is feared, so states the dispatch, that the Northern Negroes will bolt the ticket in the event Mr. Taft is nominated, and by so doing will cause the democratic ticket to be elected. Mr. Taft seems to have taken cognizance of the opposition of the colored voter, for in almost every speech he has delivered recently he has taken pains to discuss the status of the Negro and throw a few boquets at the "political children." Concerning the present status of the Brownsville investigation and the possible effects upon the next national election The World says: The widespread resentment of negroes, North and South, against the President's action and its approval by Secretary Taft is filling the friends of both with alarm. Even Senator Warner, who served as prosecutor for the Administration during the long hearing conducted by the Military Affairs Committee, realizes that his own State of Missouri has a large negro population and that the defection of any considerable portion probably would throw the State back into the Democratic column. This situation has caused all the pro-administration Senators to seek a good excuse for abandoning the investigation and suppressing all reports on the subject. The request of Senator Foraker that nothing be done in the matter until he returned from Ohio was received with glee by members of the Military Affairs Committee. Although Senator Foraker was present to-day no reference was made to Brownsville. Everybody but Mr. Foraker and Mr. Bulkley are willing to let this subject simmer without action until after the Presidential election. But it is known that Senator Foraker will soon begin pushing for additional testimony and a final report to the Senate. He desires to keep the topic alive. He realizes its possibilities. The majority report is brief and merely declares the President had a constitutional right to dismiss the negro soldiers without honor. No opinion is given as to whether the negroes really shot up the town. The Oklahoma legislature, which has been trying to regulate everything under the sun as if there would never be another session of that branch of the government, should be given credit for being rational long enough to kill the freak bill to regulate the length of sheets. Had the bill passed some of the poor, common people running hotels would have been compelled to do without sheets to keep from violating the law. The South, long since solid politically, is now almost solid as a prohibition area. The Legislature of Mississippi, by an overwhelming majority, passed a bill by which the legal sale of intoxicants in that state will cease on the 31 of December. If the curtailment of the legal sale of liquor means that there will be also an absolute prohibition of lynching, it will be the best thing that has happened in that state since the Civil War. The death of Ellis C. McNairy will cause wide-spread regret among the large circle of friends of this well known young man. Mr. McNairy in his brief life labored as it was given him to see for the upbuilding of himself and his race, and though he did not obtain a national reputation, won what is more highly to be regarded—the love, the honor, the respect of those among whom he spent the major portion of his life. The New York Age holds a brief for no candidate, yet it finds opportunity to criticize almost every candidate opposed to Taft. Likewise it feels completely disgusted that men in Florida should refuse to accept the dictates of the federal office-holders who wanted a cut and dried Taft convention. Senator Bailey, of Texas, who has been convicted before the bar of public opinion for dealing with the Standard Oil interests in Texas, is now accused of flirting with the financial interests of Wall Street on the Aldrich Currency Reform Bill. Bailey must have the habit that won't come off. With a blizzard sandwiched between the meeting of the Republican State Executive Committee and the Democratic State Executive Committee, old Boreas is evidently trying to cool off some of the warm politics in this state. The sub-committee on tickets for the National Republican Convention are preparing for a five-day session of the Convention and expecting an eight-day session. Straws seem to point toward a warm meeting. The settlement of the railway rate question without involving the state in long drawn out legal complications will meet the approval of a majority of the people of the state. The Globe is indebted to the Hon. R. L. Taylor, United States Senator from Tennessee, for the Congressional Record. From the many rumors flying around it is evident the next mass meeting should be for the purpose of protecting the purity of our homes. D. A.

To the Nashville Globe. There appeared in the columns of your paper of the issue of January 31 an article written by Mr. D. A. Hart that contained certain statements which came like a thunderbolt to a number of the readers of your paper. Mr. Hart, who at the head of the mechanical department of the National Baptist Publishing House, is an estimable young man, and is well versed in things generally, but I am of the opinion that an error has been made when he states that "the African Methodist Episcopal Church is the most complete organized body of Negroes in the world." However, this may be true so far as a human organization is concerned. But if the gentleman means the Gospel church I am compelled to differ with his ideas on the subject. Did it ever occur to Mr. Hart that Methodism began in the year 1735, considerably less than two hundred years ago, and was founded by John and Charles Wesley. In 1740 they organized what is called a church, but at that period it was called the "United Society." At the start they did not intend to organize a church. If Mr. Hart means that the African Methodist Church is the church organized by Christ then we give notice that there are many thousands of people who have not bowed the knee to Mr. Hart's kind of episcopacy, and we stand prepared to challenge him as to what is a real Gospel Church.

Those who ramained away missed what will be conceded by all that were present to be a mas: ter production of Folk Songs and Plantation melodies, When the pro gram was begun at 8:30 fully seven hundred people were seated in the auditorium, and still they continued ‘o come in an uninterrupted fitream, seemingly not fearing the small blizzard raging on the outside. From the first number on the program, “Rise, Shine, for the Light Is a Coming,” throughout unt‘l the clos- ing song, “Free at Last” the magnif- icent audience sat spellbound enjoy- ing this true American falk lore.

[Name not visible] ANDREW CARNEGIE ON "THE NEGRO IN AMERICA." (Continued from Page 3). actual facts and figures that the Negro is not only a common hired laborer, a serf and a servant, as the daily associated press dispatches would have him appear, but he shows that the Negro is rapidly gaining real estate, rapidly becoming lord and master of his own residence, tilling his own soil. When he turns to the cities he cites one instance, as follows: Jackson Miss., for instance, is owned to the extent of one-seventh by Negroes, who have two and a half millions of dollars' worth of taxable property. After showing the European that one-seventh of all the property in the capital of Mississippi is owned by those who were but yesterday, so to speak, themselves owned as property by white men, now pay taxes on one-seventh of all the taxable wealth in the great city of Jackson, Miss., where a lynching is as commonly reported in the newspapers as a prayer-meeting or a picnic. He then shows a research that was made in another Southern city, and says as follows: "A statement is given for Richmond, Va., showing that there, as elsewhere, Negroes are engaged in every occupation and profession—ten lawyers, thirty ministers, three dentists, ten physicians, two photographers, besides schoolmasters, real estate dealers, merchants, tailors, jewelers, thirty-five dressmakers, four savings banks, four weekly newspapers, four restaurant keepers, sixteen stenographers." He says every field of human activity is represented. He shows that the first physician in Richmond to use a motor car was a Negro. He shows that the surplus of one of the Negro banks in Richmond was $555,288. He further shows in the same statement that there were at that time thirty-three Negro banks in the South, besides building and loan associations, insurance companies and several other well-organized business institutions, and goes on to enumerate them. On page 16 he makes use of the following: "The desire to own a home is one of the most encouraging of all traits in the masses of a nation. In 1865 the Negroes were almost without homes of their own. In 1900 (thirty-five years later) there were 372,414 farms owned by Negroes; 225,156 of these were without incumbrance." He shows by figures that the American Negro owns and controls more real estate or territory than the combined kingdoms of Belgium and Holland. We might go on to quote from this THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908. wonderful address, but have simply quoted these few sentences to stimulate the reader of this article to find this pamphlet and read it. Mr. Carnegie, after giving a great number of facts, speaks of the future of the race as follows: "These and other examples show that, like other races that have risen (our own included), the Negro is capable of producing at intervals the exceptional man who stimulates his followers. The race that produces the leader is safe and certain to develop. If a race can bring forth at intervals a Wallace and a Bruce, a Knox and a Buchanan, a Burns and a Scott, a Hume and an Adams Smith, a Carlisle and a Mills, a Watts and a Nelson, the results must be an advanced people. Every leader compels a following which improves his race. Even the humble men in the South I have mentioned as developing natural resources and making money in so doing, are in a sense also leaders of their people, and raise the standard of life in greater or less degree of those about them." It may be seen from this quotation that Mr. Carnegie after pointing to great colored men, gives the citizens of Great Britain to understand that both they and the American white men have only produced a few great men and he names them and shows that they were produced at intervals and that the Negro, like the white man, is producing at intervals great men. Mr. Carnegie hides nothing, but faces and explains the deplorable things that the Europeans have been so accustomed to read, in the following paragraph: "We are staggered now and then by an assault by some low, brutal Negro upon a white woman. Every case of this kind is given wide publicity and naturally erouses the strongest passion. Every man and woman in the neighborhood is aroused and mad for instant and sweeping punishment. Sometimes there are officials who insist upon the wretch being imprisoned and duly tried months hence, but the maddened friends of the outraged victim are in no mood for parleying and he is hanged instanter. Judge Lynch is not infrequently accused of punishing the innocent and lynching for other causes than criminal assault. Indue haste or excessive efficiency is his fault. The Chicago Tribune, which has kept a statistical report of lynching since 1901, says in the Independent, September 29, 1904, whenever a Negro is lynched for criminal assault the Southern newspapers and sometimes the Northern, will headline its story or its editorial comment 'Lynched for the usual cause.' This THURSDAY FEBRUARY 27. NIGHT Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The speaker is one of National Reputation, one eminently fitted for the honors that have been conferred upon him, in the person of Presiding Bishop of the Tenth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. BISHOP TYREE is logical, eloquent and entertaining. The news comes from the special Bishops' Council held in Washington last week that he was the most eloquent divine in that noted gathering of prelates. That he is the man for the development of the race can not be denied. Hear him on "OUR HOME AND CHURCH LIFE." He is fully prepared to discussed this or any other subject. Those who heard him discuss "Our Boys on the Danger Line," will not miss the opportunity of hearing him. The Second of A Series of THURSDAY NIGHT Mt. Olive The speaker is one of for the honors that have BISHOP EVANS Presiding Bishop of the Tenth Ep BISHOP TYREE is logic from the special Bish he was the most elo That he is the man for the d him on "OUR HOME AND discussed this or any other Boys on the Danger Line," glaring misstatement is unjust to the Negro race. Criminal assault is not the usual cause—as the population becomes better educated these brutal attacks may be expected to cease. They are steadily decreasing. In 1885, 181 assaults were made; in 1906 only seventy-two. This is less than half, although the population has increased one-third." I shall not quote further, but shall simply repeat that Andrew Carnegie in this paper has done for the Negro what the Negro can never do for himself. Every Negro should obtain, read and circulate this wonderful paper, both for the education and encouragement of our own race and for the enlightenment of the ignorant whites who are made ignorant of the Negro problem by the malicious and misleading associated press dispatches of Negro-hating newspapers. --- PHYLLIIS WHEATLEY CLUB.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908 The Bachelor Girls' Club enjoyed an artistic valentine social at the home of "Sweet Pea," 49 Glade street on Saturday, February 15, from 3 to 7. The following members were seated at the table: "For-get-me-not," "Violet," "Aster," "Fuschia," "Pansy," "Sweet Pea," "Peony," "Tulip" and "Daffodil" were absent but sent regrets, which were read. Their places were nevertheless prepared and the nine members worked in harmony and love. The table decorations were artistic and appropriate in every detail. The cover, napkins and doilies were crepe paper stamped with red hearts, bow and arrows, envelopes sealed with hearts and tulips (but not two-lips). The center was a mound of fruit surrounded with bon-bons. Many beautiful valentines were on display and the origin of St. Valentine's Day was given, after which each read from slips of paper, that were found on each plate, two quotations on love. These were so impressive that by special request they were read again at the parting with his bow and arrow, piercing a On each place card was seen Cupid, heart after he had received the love message the dove had brought. There was on each card also the name of the hostess and recipient of the card in flowers. Tokens of various kinds were brought and exchanged. It had been decided that each bring a token for another without the other's knowledge and the one so fortunate or unfortunate as to receive the largest number of presents should present to each member of the club a present at next meeting. On counting the presents and reading names it was found that Sweet Pea had received the largest number. In a few words she expresses her love and appreciation for the toens received from her sister flowers. The entire menu suggested the valentine idea. Lavender and white are the club's colors. After adjournment to meet with For-get-me-not preparatory to going to the Martha Washington Masquerade Party, Saturday, February 22, the members attended the different theateriums of the city. President J. W. Johnson, of Roger Williams University, spent Saturday and Sunday with his brother and friends here.

His subject was "Turning Defeat into Victory." He said you must be a Christian to understand this subject, for the world is full of trouble. Most people fail offender than they succeed, and are sad offender than they are glad. They have more difficult tasks than simple ones, and find more temptations than helps. Defeat is more common than victory unless you are a Christian. Remarks were made by Rev. J. H. Thompson, B. D., and Hon. J. W. Boyd. Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

The season will open April 29, with the Cuban Giants. Quite a number of good teams are to stop here this spring. Mr. Thomas, Treasurer of the Association, in an interview with a Globe man, said, "We are going to give the fans of Nashville the real article this summer, and we feel sure of getting their help." Bob Fitzsimmons says that he doesn't think Tommy Burns will ever meet Sam Fitzpatrick's great wonder, Jack Johnson. "I do not figure," said the ex-champion, "that Burns will ever take on Johnson, for he knows what would happen. He has a couple of 'punk' bouts in England and Ireland. Why, when I was traveling around the country meeting all comers, I was stopping better boxers than Palmer and Roche in two or three rounds." Sam Fitzpatrick, the manager of Jack Johnson, has turned down with contempt the terms Burns says he will consider for a match with the great Jack Johnson. Burns demands 75 per cent. of the purse, win, lose or draw. In a letter to Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco promoter, Fitzpatrick says that Burns had better get such ideas out of his head. Johnson would prefer to meet Burns on a winner-take-all-basis. But if Burns does not agree to that, Fitzpatrick informs Coffroth Johnson will box Burns 75-25, 65-35, or 60-40 for the winner and loser, respectively. At a pinch Fitzpatrick will even agree to make the match 50 per cent. for each man, irrespective of who wins. Under no circumstances will Johnson allow Burns to have a bonus, as he considers himself quite as good a drawing card as the so-called champion. Johnson's original offer of agreeing to stop Burns in 20 rounds still holds good. An Understanding About the League— Real Facts Set Down. Since December 18, at which time the first meeting of the proposed National League of Professional Colored Baseball Teams was held at Indianapolis, Ind., Messrs. Frank C. Leland, president; William Roberts, treasurer; Edward S. Galliard, corresponding secretary; Charles Marshall, organizer, have done everything in their power to make the organization a success in a large way, and to say they have succeeded was proven in the meeting of February 16. They have put forward every effort to make it a success and should it fail it will be no fault of these gentlemen. Time after time the organizer has received letters that almost said, "I believe it is a fake," and he replies, "Can it be anything if you will not step in and help it to be something?" You should not ask who is going to attend the meeting, but come yourself. All the assurance we can give you of every one of the cities that we name being ready for a franchise and those who will attend, is by the letters we have received. Those cities which give us a promise of coming into the league and which may send representatives are Columbus, O. Cleveland, O., Louisville, Ky., Covington, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Nashville, Penn. Now the persons who have stated that they would probably attend the meeting are Meters, J. H. Settles and Haus, Columbus; Frank C. Le land, Chicago; R. H. Moore, Cincinnati; Edward Lancaster Louisville; William H. Ford, Cleveland; J. W. White, Nashville; Charles W. Hagard, Covington; W. H. Wilkerson, St. Louis, and William Robert's, Indianapolis.—Freeman. HADLEY SCHOOL ROLL OF HONOR.

The attendance of this school has been terribly shattered for the past three weeks on account of sickness. La gripe, pneumonia and colds have not spared the pupils of this citadel of knowledge, but seem to have made them a special object of attack. Five boys and ten girls of the High Hirshberg Bros.

It is very difficult for them to comprehend that the beautiful diamond, which sparkles so brilliantly in a ring or breast-pin, is a form of carbon. The lovely specimens of genuine diamonds which were exhibited before the class by Prof. H. A. Cameron elicited loud praise from the pupils. The eyes of the pupils betrayed their wonder and surprise when told that the largest diamond ever found weighs nearly a half a pound and was valued at half a million dollars. Prof. H. A. Cameron is doing splendid work in his department, but is greatly hampered by a lack of facilities. A laboratory is badly needed, which should be supplied with chemicals and the latest appliances. It is impossible for him to do his best with the small amount of apparatus and supplies which he has at his command. The principal hopes that some day this department may receive the attention it deserves. Rev. G. L. Jackson visited the school on Monday. Upon the invitation of the principal, he promised to say a word to the school upon his next visit. Misses Bessie Garrett, Harriet Hill and Beatrice Hill have returned to school after an absence of several days on account of sickness. MEHARRY Y. M. C. A. NOTES: The Young Men's Christian Association of Meharry Medical College, Walden University, has had one of the most prosperous years in its history during the present school-year. The membership has increased from fifty or more to upward of two hundred. The public meetings have been largely and appreciatively attended, having been addressed by some of the best talent of both races in Nashville. The most lasting impressions have been made upon the young men and, in fact, upon all who attended the public meetings. Most notably among those who addressed the Association were Drs. Dubose, Griggs and Townsend. Echoes from their addresses may be frequently heard upon the lips of many of the students. The meetings for men were full of enthusiasm, and they were always fully attended. Under the suggestion of Secretary Haynes, Bible-classes in groups were organized, and a presistent campaign for effective Bible study has been waged, which we hope may be immensely reinforced next year. The last public meeting will be held in the Auditorium next Sunday, February 23, and the public is cordially invited to be present. Dr. C. V. Roman will deliver the closing address. The election of officers for the ensuing year was held Monday night, February 17. President, H. A. Holmes; Vice President, J. J. Creagh; Secretary, E. D. McLaurin; Corresponding Secretary, J. G. Kyles; Treasurer, M. V. Umble; Librarian, J. B. Hankal. "QUIT YE LIKE MEN. FIGHT." This subject was discussed to a magnificent audience at the First Baptist Church, Spruce street, Sunday at 11:30 by Rev. W. S. Ellington. There has not been such a crowd at this church since the sacred concert last year. The discourse was calculated to do more good than any sermon preached at that church for a long time. The entire audience sat and enjoyed it from beginning to end. Such a practical talk and such ors for Spring. See the beautiful showing of Stetsons, Broadway Specials (our own) in Summer Street Display Window. common-sense reasoning is not heard every Sunday. No part of the subject was left untouched. It covered all conditions of the people. While it was scheduled to be a special sermon for men, the ladies were not excluded and right well did they show their appreciation, because they divided honors with the men in point of number. The special male choir of Fisk University gave choice music for the occasion. "Lead, kindly light," by the special quartette, was never rendered more beautiful than on this occasion. MISS E. B. DeLANEY'S LECTURE. No special meeting arranged in this city will be of more interest to the children and to the women of the race than the coming meeting being arranged for Miss E. B. DeLANey, of Fernandina, Fla. Miss Delaney will be here under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, of which Mrs. M. L. Cottrell is President, Mrs. M. M. Flowers, Vice President, and Mrs. C. Dickson, Secretary, all of whom have been at work arranging and planning for a large attendance. Miss Delaney is one of the best informed women before the public. She is a graduate of Spellman Seminary, the largest female school in the race. She graduated not only from college but from the missionary course, and spent three years in Foreign Mission work in Africa. Her first meeting in Nashville will be held Friday afternoon, March 6, at 3:30 at the First Baptist Church in East Nashville, at which she will give a special talk to children. At night on the same date she will speak to a mixed audience. The third meeting, which will no doubt attract the greatest attention, will be a special meeting for women only. This takes place Sunday. March 8, 3:30 p.m., in the famous old Spruce Street Baptist Church. It is to be hoped that as many women will attend this meeting as did men attend the special meeting for men some time ago. "OUR HOME AND CHURCH LIFE." Bishop Evans Tyree to Speak Thursday Night. It has often been said that "Coming events cast their shadows before." This is certainly true with the coming lecture scheduled to take place at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church in the main auditorium on Thursday night. February 27. Bishop Tyree is to be the lion of the occasion. There is no divine before the public that has risen so rapidly and achieved such a tremendous success as this prelate of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He is broad in his views, logical in his discourses and eloquent at all times. No one hearing him speak ever tires of the lecture or sermon. Now that he is scheduled to deliver lectures throughout the country from now until May, he has been preparing as never before. He broke all records at Washington last week at the Bishops' Council by running away with the lion's share of the honor in making the best speech. When he discusses "Our home and church life," it will be nothing taken from theory. It will be actual experience connected with the practical side of life. The lecture is attracting attention and must prove a success. The committee appointed on these lectures is working to see that a large crowd is present. Those public lectures will prove a success in Nashville. --- --- N., C. & St. L. Ry. TICKET OFFICES UNION STATION, BROADWAY CITY OFFICE In Maxwell House, Corner Church Street and 4th Ave., North.

Mr. Fite was well known, having conducted a tailoring establishment for a number of years. He leaves a wife.
