THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they nustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. E. Boyd. VOL. III. National Baptist Convention Will not be in N. Y. SO STATES CLERKS OF ABYSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH. OFFICERS COMPELLED TO DECIDE —PASTOR, REV. C. S. MORRIS, IN BAD HEALTH—SEVERAL CITIES LOOM UP FOR THE HONOR—NEW ORLEANS SEEMS TO BE CHOICE—BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE OF NASHVILLE CONSIDERING INVITING MEETING HERE. New York will not entertain the 1908 Session of the National Baptist Convention. It has withdrawn from the race. This information was given out Monday by Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is Secretary of the two largest Boards connected with the Baptists of this country. It was also announced in the Baptist Ministers' Conference, which meets every Monday. As soon as the fact became known, a Globe reporter interviewed Dr. Boyd for the purpose of ascertaining where the Convention would be held. That gentleman was very reticent in his remarks, and seemed to guard his language very carefully. He stated that he only had the information in several letters from friends in the East, and finally a letter came from the Abyssinian Baptist Church, stating that the church had voted, that owing to circumstances over which they had no control, they were forced to withdraw their invitation to entertain the Twenty-ninth Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention. This was all he knew of it. The letter was from the clerk of the church, who stated that it had been the action of the body of the church in passing this vote unanimously. Dr. Boyd was asked his views concerning the selection of the next place of meeting, as New York was out of the race, to which he replied: "There were quite a number of cities in the race with New Orleans, Boston, Savannah and the Convention, which met in Washington, D. C. St. Louis, Los Angeles, Lexington, Ky. All of these cities withdrew one by one in favor of New York, except New Orleans, who remained in the race, and was only beaten by a few votes. And now since New York has pulled down, logically speaking, New Orleans (if she is still in the race), ought to be awarded the Convention, because if the Convention was still in session and New York had pulled down, this would have left New Orleans in the field alone. I am not prepared to say whether New Orleans is still a candidate. I have written to the secretaries and chairmen of the six Boards that compose the National Baptist Convention, and who perform all the work of the Convention, when it is not in session. I have also written to the president and to all of the secretaries of the Convention. Our Constitution provides that, 'The Convention shall hold annual meetings at such time and place as it may determine, but should anything occur to prevent the annual meeting at the time and place appointed, the Board may arrange the time and place and publish the same to the denomination.' In view of this fact I have sent out the letters to the various officers of the Boards in order that we may have an early meeting to take some actions in the matter." In an interview with Dr. C. H. Clark, who is Chairman of the Publishing Board, the Globe reporter learns that he, too, had been informed by friends that New York would not be able to entertain the Convention. Dr. Clark, in presiding at the ministers' conference Monday, announced the fact that the place of holding the next Convention was open, and in view of this the conference passed a motion requesting each member to bring the matter before their church Sunday and report at the meeting next Monday, when it will be determined whether Nashville will invite the 1908 session here. The rumor gained quite a deal of circulation that New York's reason for NASHVILLE, TENN.. FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1908. declining to entertain the Convention was on account of the failing health of the pastor of the Abyssinia Baptist Church, who is Rev. Chas. S. Morris, D. D., who worked so hard to capture the meeting; but this rumor has not been verified. The various Boards connected with the National Baptist Convention will no doubt have an early meeting, possibly in Nashville to decide on this important question. The Nashville ministers are pushing, and it is likely that Nashville will be a strong candidate in the race, to have the coming session, notwithstanding the State Convention and several Associations will meet in the city this year. All of these meetings are different, and possibly more burdensome than the National Convention, because in the National body, the delegates are expected to defray their own expenses and to pay their own board. MR. FRED D. PATTERSON. A very progressive and well known business man from the state of Ohio, spent two days in the city this week. It was none other than Mr. Fred D. Patterson, a member of the firm and traveling representative of C. R. Patterson & Sons, the celebrated buggy manufacturers with offices and factory at Greenfield, Ohio. Mr. Paterson has made quite a number of friends in this city, having been here on several occasions. He stated to a Globe representative on Tuesday, that notwithstanding the financial excitement throughout the country, they were doing a normal business. He secured several large orders in Nashville, the largest being from J. B. Kennedy & Son. There is no question about the firm's ability to put up a first-class article in the buggy line. This was demonstrated in Nashville recently, as the house of Dr. R. H. Boyd ran away twice with his buggy, which is a Patterson and ran each time a distance of over two miles, striking curbstones, crossing ditches, and getting a general shake-up, sustaining no injuries.—not even a nut was lost. Mr. Patterson went from here to Memphis, from Memphis, he goes to Atlanta and from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and form thence up through the tide water district of Virginia. Their concern was one among the few in Greenfield that did not close down one day, except Sunday and holidays, during the panic BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mrs. Katherine Hoffman entertained a number of young people last Friday night at home, 1805 Heffernan street, in honor of Miss Eudora McCllan, whose birthday was on that date. The house was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The evening was spent in playing many interesting games and in the rendition of vocal and instrumental music. An elaborate menu of several courses was served. --- "THE NEGRO IN AMERICA." The information is given out by Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the Baptist Publishing Board, that he is in receipt of a letter from The Committee of Twelve who published Mr. Andrew Carnegie's address saying that they will send a copy of "The Negro in America" to any person who will write for one. They should address their request to The Committee of Twelve. Mr. Hugh H. Brown, Secretary, Cheney, Pa. It will be remembered that Dr. Boyd gave this address an elaborate review in the Globe several weeks ago. So many people have sent in requests to the Globe office for them, saying, "We read the review in your paper," that notice is here given out. This address will be sent free. The only aim of the Committee is to get it circulated and read by the intelligent and thinking people. BISHOP TYREE TO PREACH BAC CALAUREATE SERMON. The Faculty of Walden University have secured Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D., LL. D., to preach the Baccalaureate Sermon to the graduating classes of the Meharry Medical College. Bishop Tyree is very pressed for time now preparing for the coming General Conference of his church, which convenes in Norfolk, Va., in May, but consented to postpone his trip to Texas to fill this engagement. The sermon will be preached on Sunday, March 29, in the Auditorium at Walden University. The clas this year is the largest in the history of the institution, consisting of over one hundred graduates from the three departments. Mrs. Charlton Exercises Presence of Mind. HOLDS BLOOD VESSELS WITH HER OWN FINGERS. UNFORTUNATE WOMAN CUT TO PIECES BY HER ENRAGED HUSBAND—PRETENDS THAT HE WAS ONLY PLAYING—NEW METHOD TO AMUSE ONE'S SELF—EYE WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT HE HAD THREATENED TO KILL. Seldom has such heroic effort on the part of an individual been exercised as was by Mrs. Louise Charlton on last Wednesday night when she was assaulted by her husband, Oliver Charlton. After the drunken man had almost severed her head from her body, she realized that death would result in a few minutes if the flow of blood were not stopped. Mrs. Charlton therefore seized the blood vessels with her own fingers and held them tightly until a doctor could be called. The assault was the result of a stunt which was termed play, and Louise Charlton now lies at the City Hospital with her head carved nearly off. She was cut by Oliver Charlton, her husband, and claims that when she accosted him about going with another woman he laughed and said to her at the same time, giving expression to his statement by cutting her with a knife, that she was just jealous. The fact of the whole thing is that Charlton was caught by his wife coming out of another woman's house and when she got after him about it he attempted to kill her. Two eye-witnesses heard him say he was going to kill her. Charlton was arrested soon after the cutting and locked up at the station house on the charge of assault with a knife with intent to murder. He will be tried when his wife recovers from the play treatment he gave her. Officers Regan, Lucats and Bardel made the arrest. SERVICES AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The announcement that Rev. W. S. Ellington, of the First Baptist Church, would deliver by special request on last Sunday a sermon on the subject "The Prodigal Son" was an occasion for the outpouring of a representative and appreciative audience. All of the pews of the auditorium were filled and chairs were placed along the aisle to provide seats for those who came to hear the gifted divine. It was a masterly effort, not only from an intellectual point of view, but was full of spiritual meaning and fervor. Many young men and women, among whom were some more advanced in years, upon the invitation of the palstor went forward and shook his hand, as a manifestation that they desired an interest in the prayers of Christians. The sermon was filled with instruction, especially to the young men who made up a large part of the audience, many of whom are away from home pursuing their studies in the different universities. Next Sunday, March 8, the eighth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Ellington will take place. At eleven o'clock a special program will be rendered as follows: Remarks—By W. T. Hightower, Master of Ceremonies. On Behalf of the Church—C. B. Lowe. On Behalf of the Ladies' Aid and Missionary Societies—Mrs. V. W. Broughton. On Behalf of the Sunday-school—J. D. Crenshaw. Sermon—By Rev. W. S. Ellington. Music. Presentation—S. P. Harris. Collection. Adjournment. LAID TO REST. Mrs. (Aunt) Mary Miller, who had been very feeble and confined to her bed for quite a while, departed this life Tuesday morning, February 25. at the residence on Third avenue, North, at the age of 72 years. During her younger days and up to within a few weeks of her death she was a devout Christian and willing worker of Salem A. M. E. Church, where the funeral services were held the Thursday afternoon following at 2:30 o'clock. She leaves seven sons, one daughter, two brothers, grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Interment took place at Mt. Ararat Cemetery. A PROPHECY LITERALLY FUL- FILLED. Modern Science Testifies to Scriptural Truth. "The eyes of the blind shall be opened," said the prophet Isaiah. A reporter of this paper was astonished the other day to see how completely the skilled oculist can demonstrated the wisdom of this holy sage. By medical treatment and the adjustment of glasses, Dr. Roman, the Colored Oculist and Aurist of Nashville, Tenn., transferred a little girl from the blind school to the public school. By a surgical operation, wonderful in its delicacy and minuteness, he restored vision to a woman who had been led about for five years. These and many other things which the reporter learned quite accidentally about Dr. Roman and his work filled the newspaper man with astonishment at the literal fulfillment of the prophecy, "Then the eyes of blind shall be opened." TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE. Late Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock quite a deal of excitement was caused by a sensational shooting which occurred at 617 Jo Johnston avenue. After a domestic quarrel which had attracted passers-by, Mr. Church Ford attempted to kill his wife, Mrs. Emma Ford, by shooting her. In the struggle she managed to fight down the point of the pistol in the hand of her husband until when he fired, the bullet took effect in the lower part of the abdomen. It took such a course that it did not penetrate the intestines and lodged in the hip. She was taken to the City Hospital, where her wound was dressed and at a late hour of the night she was said to be resting easy. Mr. Ford was arrested and taken to the police station, where a charge of attempt to commit murder was registered against him. DEATH OF REV. JOHN BURTON TAPPAN. After an illness of three weeks of acute intestinal nephritis Rev. John Burton Tappan, the father-in-law of Bishop C. H. Phillips, died Monday morning at his residence. 313 Twelfth avenue. North, where he had lived for more than forty years. Mr. Tappan came to Tennessee from Arkansas about fifty years ago. When a young man he was an evangelist and associated with Rev. Nelson Merry, Rev. Mr. Vandeville, and other prominent ministers of those times. At the time of his death he was probably the oldest and best-known Baptist preacher in the state. The funeral services were held at the Spruce Street Baptist Church on Wednesday afternoon. A vast audience was present which included the most representative people of the city. The music furnished by the church choir was a special feature of the services. Rev. Mr. Amos, pastor of Jackson Temple, offered a fervent prayer, asking the blessings of God upon the bereaved family, and beseeching Him to continue to send faithful workers into his vineyard. The obituary was read by Rev. Dr. S. W. Crosthwaite. Mrs. Josie Henderson and Miss Mary Reed sang a duet of rare beauty and pathos. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D. took for his text 2 Tim. 4:6-8, and proceeded to preach a most consoling sermon. His eulogy upon the life and character of the deceased was forceful and inspiring. Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Baptist Church, spoke of the deceased as an indefatigable worker and declared that his good works would follow him. Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of St. John Baptist Church, spoke of Rev. Mr. Tappan as a "Teacher of Preachers." Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, spoke of the life of Rev. Tappan as a beautiful story well told. There were many tearstained eyes as the vast audience quietly passed by the flower-covered casket to take the Continued on Baro 6.) (Continued on Page 6.) No. 9. BECKHAM METHODS SLAPPED IN THE FACE. CLEAN POLICIES WIN A VICTORY —NEGROES OF BLUE GRASS STATE TREATED JUSTLY BY REPUBLICAN PARTY—STATE CONVENTION NOT CERTAIN FOR TAFT—FAVORS CANNON OR HUGHES—NEW SENATOR OUTSPOKEN FOR VICE PRESIDENT. Louisville, Ky., March 2—There has been a general rejoicing in the "Blue Grass State" over the recent victory of the republicans, which brings to pass the prediction in your strong democratic paper of January 15, '08. Even the Nashville American could see the disaster in snap primaries, conventions and unfair politics as has been played in Kentucky for the past several years. Tennessee must have tasted a dose of the same kind of medicine. The American said "In the vote for Senator in the Kentucky Legislature yesterday, ex-Gov Beckham, the Democrat primary nominee, failed of election by three votes. This probably means his defeat." The editor of this paper foresaw what was coming, as the election of ex-Governor Bradley to the United States Senate by the Kentucky legislature, defeating ex-Governor Beckham, is regarded here as evidence that the staunch democrats with the old line republicans will join hands and fight out the principles of manhood and citizen's right. The republicans will wage their battle royal at the coming state convention against certain elements and factions that have tried to sow discord and corruption. The true republican party of this state has never ignored the Negro vote. They refuse to be dominated by the officeholders, and the coming convention will be controlled by delegates chosen by the people and not by a paid lot of employees of the administration. While the state seems to be in favor of Indiana's choice son, Vice President Chas. K. Fairbanks, it is evident they are not hostile to Hughes or Cannon. There is one thing certain, there is no chance for a Taft endorsemen. Not a county or district in the state has chosen a single Taft delegate, or instructed for him, while on the other hand Hughes and Cannon have been favored. Should the other southern states prove as hostile to the war secretary, his name will never be presented to the Convention, if the South is to be considered his stronghold. It is but common that the Negro vote will line up with the conservative and old line republicans in downing the "Roosevelt candidate," Wm. H. Taft. The tone of the republican papers throughout the South has been hostile to the administration's choice, while all or most of the democratic papers have been in favor of him, devoting column after column towards the advancement of his candidacy, which is evident that he is not such a strong man with his party. MR. FLOWERS VERY ILL IN WASHINGTON. D. C. Mr. Wm. Flowers, who was for several years foreman of the pressroom at the Baptist Publishing House, this city, is reported very sick in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Flowers, who has remained at home during her husband's absence, will leave to-night to join him and nurse him during his illness. Mr. Flowers has a host of friends in Nashville who hope for him a speedy recovery. ENTERTAINED AT TEA ENTERTAINED AT TEA. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Kelly, of 652 Bass street, entertained Messrs. Cicero C. Simmons, Chas. Owens and John Hawkins at tea one evening last week. Mr. Simmons is attending Michigan University at Ann Arbor, where he is studying law. He is an alumnus of Tuskegee, having graduated in 1906. Messrs. Owens and Hawkins were his classmates at Tuskegee. Will you take advantage of them? FREE LECTURES St. John A. M. E.

OLIVE CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. The school was opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock by the superintendent, Mr. James Hurt. A full attendance of teachers, officers and pupils was present. The lesson for the day, "Jesus Feeding the Five Thousand," was studied for thirty minutes by the classes, after which Mr. Henry Allen Boyd reviewed the lesson. The superintendent read a report of the financial standing of the classes for the month of February. Class No. 16 was the banner class for the month, with class No. 14 a close second. Several other classes did excellent work. After an invitation by the pastor to attend eleven o'clock service, benediction was pronounced. Tuesday night about thirty teachers and officers with the pastor assembled in the pastor's study to discuss the lesson for Sunday, March 8, which is "Jesus the Bread of Life." Many beautiful thoughts were exchanged. Several recommendations were presented for the interest of the school. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. T. J. Lewis. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. We are well pleased with the progress of our Sunday-school. Teachers and pupils are co-operating to make the work a success. Every Sunday at an early hour bright-faced boys and girls may be seen making their way to the church. We have also a large number of grown folks and young people who attend regularly. Brother Charley Ridout, our faithful librarian, deserves worthy mention. He is never absent or tardy unless hindered by some unavoidable reason. Several visitors were present in our teachers' meeting. The lesson for March 1, "Jesus Feeding the Five Thousand," was a powerful stimulus to personal work for Christ. Notwithstanding the pastor, Rev. G. B. Taylor, was somewhat indisposed, he was at his post of duty. As usual services were well attended at 3 p. m. After the sermon the Lord's Supper was administered. HOLY TRINITY CHURCH. The Lenten services of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church are— The Sorrowful Way of the Cross, Wednesday evenings 7:30.

The missioner is a well-known Negro priest, coming to us with recommendations from his Bishop and congregation as possessing strong mental and spiritual qualities and a power in preaching the Word of God. LITTLE ROSALIND ARCHER DEAD. A letter received from Atlanta, Ga., last Sunday brought the sad news of the death of little Rosalind Archer, the infant son of Prof. and Mrs. Archer. The death occurred at Atlanta Baptist College, where Prof. Archer is a member of the faculty. The letter stated that a shadow of gloom was cast over the great educational institution, and a general mourning and gorrowing was noted Saturday and Sunday. The funeral services were solemn and impressive. This was the first death in the school this term. Nashville friends sympathize with the bereaved parents. BETHEL NOTES. The revival is now on with full force. The first week ended with six converts and on Tuesday night of this week, eight more souls had crossed over on the Lord's side. Rev. Mr. Brooks, of East Tennessee, arrived here Monday to take charge of the meeting, and his work proclaims him to be an earnest Christian minister. Each night the church is thronged with people from all parts of the city and from the general interest shown it seems that truly men's hearts must be revived. Some are of the opinion that this will be just such a meeting as was held in this church in 1901, when 56 souls were converted. WEDNESDAY EVENING PIT CLUB. The Wednesday evening Pit Club spent a most delightful evening on Wednesday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thorne, "Pit" was indulged in throughout the evening and at intervals Mr. Thorne entertained the guests with some very rare and beautiful selections on the graphophone. About 10:30 o'clock a delicious ice course, consisting of brick cream, assorted cakes and confections was served. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of the host and hostess were Mrs. St. Clair Hudgens, of Chicago, Ill., Miss Cora L. Allen, Mr. Irwin, Church, Mr. and Mrs. William Young, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hason and Mr. and Mrs. William Austin. OFFICE: 408 Cedar St. RESIDENCE: III6 Jefferson St. 8-29-07 ff. Phone 2703.

The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers, the dining-room was the prettiest of all, the color scheme was red and green. The table was covered with a beautiful linen drawn-work table cloth, which was the handiwork of the hostess. A silver fern dish with a pretty fern in the center was charming. The place cards were red heart shaped, with a lover's knot at the top. Miss E. L. Garrett presided at the frappe bowl, serving the guests as they arrived. At a late hour the hostess ushered the guests into the dining-room, where the following menu was served: Sauce Maitre d'Hotel. Celery. Turkey. Stuffed with Oysters.

CLARKSVILLE NOTES. The city lawmakers, like all other people, are given over to imitation. We have had the imitation of local option, the Georgia Club lockers, the telephone imbroglio, the prospective elimination of an only alderman, and, lastly, this city is about to have a Sunday closing act as another evidence of the moral wave. In a written instrument proclaimed some one hundred and thirty years ago, more or less, expressed or implied, is the idea that the church and state should be forever separate. Closing of all kinds of business on Sunday will not force the people to attend the churches; but tend to work a hardship on many of the people. It remains to be seen whether the Sunday closing ordinance will in fact become a law. The piano contest, which has been going the rounds of the merchants for several months, closed last Saturday night. Miss Kate Wright, who received her support principally from the colored patrons, polled 16,350 votes, and was fifth in the race for the three prizes. No doubt Miss Wright would have received one of the prizes, if every colored patron had voted for her. The mere announcement that Miss Maggie Whitfield and Wm. Hollingsworth are now married will be of interest to their many friends both in this city and the neighboring towns. The event took place last Thursday evening at the residence of Rev. W. H. C. Stokes. A very quiet wedding, but perfect in all details, took place last Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Firse, when their niece, Mrs. Deamie Meriwether Drane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meriwether, became the bride of Mr. Silas Landers. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Seymour, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. After the ceremony the members of the two families, with a few intimate friends, gave-well wishes and congratulations to the couple, and bade them goodbye, on their departure for a wedding trip to Gallus Hollow, Tenn. They received a handsome collection of wedding presents. Miss Wilhelmina Hawkins returned from Trenton, Ky., Saturday. NASHVILLE, TENN., March 1, 1908. Miss Alma Harris came down from Guthrie, Ky., Saturday. Mr. William Hall was in Madisonville, Ky., Sunday. Miss Bess Tiny Cowherd returned from Nashville last Sunday. Mr. Pete Postell, of Hopkinsville, was in the city Wednesday. SUNSHINE HOME NOTE8. Miss Arendale, a returned missionary from India, delivered an interesting address to the J. P. M. Foreign Missionary Society Monday evening, February 24. The meeting was largely attended and enjoyed by all. Miss Arendale has had many experiences as a missionary. Her subject for the evening was "The Oppression of Child Widows of India." The Workers' Conference will hold its monthly meeting in the office of Sunshine Home, March 9. Each member of the Conference and all who are interested in mission work are requested to be present on time at 10 a.m. The Scripture lesson will be conducted by Mrs. M. Polk. Miss E. B. Delaney will be the guest of Sunshine Home during her stay in the city, March 6, 7, and 8. BRIERSVILLE NOTE8. Master Percy Love, son of Mr. G. L. Love, president of B. O. No. 79, fell from a tree and fractured his shoulder a week or so ago. Monday, February 17, 1908, at 11:30 a.m., death visited the home of Miss Sarah Lewis and summoned her home; age, 33 years. She was a member of B. O. No. 79, which took charge of her remains. She is survived by six sisters and other relatives. Her funeral was conducted by Revs. Willis Lee and G. Bryant at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church of this place Feb 18. The following friends served as pall-bearers: Mrs. Frank Pettis, Mrs. Robert Shute, Miss Bettie Walker, Miss Katie Pettis, Mrs. John Woods, and Mrs. G. L. Love. Interment at Green Lawn Cemetery. Carriages from Taylor & Co. Rev. G. Bryant was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Pettis from February 13th to 17th. Mrs. Adaline Kelly is sick. Mr. Joe Dozier, of Pittsburg, Pa., and brother, Mack Dozier, of Goodlettsville, Tenn., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Goodrich, of this place, last Friday. CEMETERY NOTES The Stones River Sunday-school is progressing nicely. Mr. Will Dee Avant delivered a very interesting address on "Why we should attend Sunday-school." Miss Kittle Howse was the guest of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Howse. THE NECESSITY OF SUNDAY-SCHGOL. Sunday schools are needed all over the world. Look at the African peo- 17 Yours respectfully, E. R. CARNEY. ple, who to-day don't know anything about Sunday-schools or never heard of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We, as a race, teach the little ones to raise money on mission day to send out missionaries for the upbuilding of our race. That is what the Sunday-schools are needed for. I think one could not be engaged in any better society than the school work. It fills my heart with joy to see the young men and women attending the Sunday-school. If all your boys were to take an active part in the Sunday-school there would not be so many standing around on the streets, and another thing it help to make us good men and women; therefore, we find that the Sunday-schools are needed badly. I should rather spend an hour in worshiping the Lord than spend a whole day in idleness. Old people as well as young people should attend the school. First to the school, then the church. Our preachers, presiding elders and bishops first started in the Sunday-school, next the church, and on and on until they reached a higher position. So we find that the Sunday-school is the greatest organization in the world. Parents should teach their children and train them while they are young to grow up in Sunday-school, because Christ sald, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God." Mr. Walter Anderson is recovering. Little Sandie Hugle, the son, of Mr. and Mrs. John Hugle, is suffering with a severe cold. Miss Polly Smith, the teacher of the Cemetery School, is preparing for her closing exercises. Mrs. Carrie Grisham, of Chicago, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Joe Clark. REMOVAL. The remains of Mr. E. C. McNairy will be removed from the vault on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and placed in the family lot at Mt. Ararat. Services will be in charge of the Knights of Pythias. Dr. R. H. Voorhees, who was for a long while located in the Pythian Temple, has secured new quarters at 4101½ Cedar street, where he continues to enjoy a good practice. Dr. Voorhees is one of the most popular dentists in the South, and has always held the highest esteem of the citizens of his home city. He is a very busy man right at this season of the year, having to attend to his duties as head of the dental department at Meharry in connection with his extensive practice in Nashville and many of the suburban towns in a radius of fifty or seventy-five miles.

SNAP CONVENTIONS. The most frequent defense of snap convention methods as used by the republican executive committee is that such conventions prohibit the ward heelers from getting in their nefarious work of taking repeaters from one ward to another to carry elections. But those who make the charge overlook the fact that such conventions stifle the will—a just recording of the will of those in the party whose votes cannot be bought no matter what is the price. There are "bums" in all political parties who will sell their votes for a glass of beer. There are "black-legs" in all parties who will dispose of their franchise for fifty cents a head. There are "politicians" in all parties who will barter their influence, their conscience, their all that goes to make them respectable men, for the sake of office and the emoluments thereto. Morally all three classes are equal and those in one class are as much undesirable citizens as those in the others. These "bums," "black-legs" and politicians, as we have said, exist in all parties, and their pernicious activity give them undue prominence, but the majority of the voters belong to neither class, and the forming of any plan which makes it impossible for these upright voters to register their wishes in their party's affairs, is as reprehensible as the actions of those who sell their votes. The Davidson County Convention has been held, the delegates elected and instructed for Taft and Early, and the whole procedure endorsed by a retroactive resolution of the State Executive Committee, but the whole miserable business stinks to the high heavens and the time will come when upright voters will not only recognize the odor but will remember its cause. Political chicanery may pay for the instant, but in the end it is the "bums," the "black-legs" and the smart "politicians" who will suffer. THE MORRILL FUND The announcement contained in the last issue of The Globe, that plans are under preparation whereby a College will be established in the western portion of the state for the benefit of Negroes is exceedingly gratifying to those who have noted how the funds apportioned to this state under the Morrill law have been applied. The Morrill Fund, it will be remembered, is an annual appropriation made by the general government to aid education in the states. The appropriation is for the benefit of state universities and must be applied to the education of children irrespective THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 6. 1908 of race, creed, or previous conditions of servitude. In most Southern states, the money coming from the Federal government has been divided between the state educational institutions conducted for the blacks and the whites, but in Tennessee, there being no state school for Negroes, the money has gone to the University of Tennessee, located at Knoxville. The University of Tennessee does not admit Negroes as students, and, as a consequence, the colored people of the state have been benefited very little by an appropriation that was made primarily in their interest. But some of the public-spirited citizens of the race in this city, noting the injustice of the present arrangements, began a campaign through The Globe and by other means to correct the inequitable distribution of the funds and the meeting at Knoxville was the fruit of their labors. It is to be hoped, now that the officials of the University of Tennessee have recognized their duty to deal justly with the children of all races in the state, that the question of erecting a school where black children can profit from the money appropriated by the state and federal governments, will be pushed to a speedy conclusion. And, while the question of a location for the school is a secondary consideration, its erection in the central portion of the state would so place it that it would be of the greatest benefit to the largest number of the youth of the state at the least expense to the students. MR. EARLY—CANDIDATE. The Globe is in receipt of a communication from the Hon. John H. Early, of Chattanooga, in which he states that he is at a loss to know why The Globe has seen fit to "roast" him as a candidate for Governor. For Mr. Early's benefit, as well as those who are responsible for the endorsement in this county, we would say that our criticism was based upon the following Associated Press Dispatch that was sent from Chattanooga immediately following the last county election held in Hamilton County: "Under the leadership of the ablest republicans in this county and supported by nearly every white member of that party, a strong movement has been started for an educational qualification which will result in the disfranchisement of the Negro. This movement was started by a signed statement of Chairman John Early and an interview of Percy Wilson who was defeated for Register on last Thursday. Mr. Wilson, one of the strongest republicans in the county, says in an interview: "Clean politics, speaking locally, demand the elimination of the Negro. Let a law be passed prescribing an educational qualification that will disfranchise the ignorant and vicious element." It is the desire of The Globe to take no unfair advantage of Mr Early, or of anyone else, for that matter. And, in justice to him, we will say that in his statement he did not refer directly to the Negro. But coupling Mr. Early's interview with Mr. Wilson's card, and the further statement that the white republican voters were sponsors for the movement to eliminate Negro voters, we are inclined to think that between the lines he had the colored voter in mind and it was so understood by his white friends. We have no fight with Mr. Early personally, other than that he has been heralded as being responsible for a movement to eliminate the colored voter from politics, and if we have misrepresented him, the columns of The Globe are open to him for reply. The biggest surprise contained in the report of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs was the alignment of five out of the eight republican members against the endorsement of President Roosevelt's order of dismissal in the Brownsville Affair. The position of the democratic members was clearly foreshadowed at almost the beginning of the investigation. It was clearly defined that the democrats would vote to sustain the President, no matter what the evidence showed. It will be remembered that the late Senator Pettus, of Alabama, when called from Washington before half the evidence was in, left his vote in favor of sustaining the order. The Committee has investigated, but the Brownsville affair is not closed, and there is a strong probability that it will not be closed until those men who were summarily dismissed without trial have been given justice. Kentucky has elected a republican senator and he favors Fairbanks for President. Bradley and the other republican leaders know the temper of the colored voters when about one year ago they refused to permit the adoption of a resolution endorsing Taft for President. About this time of year the city is usually full of freshly hatched doctors. Nashville is proud to be the incubator that brings forth these young M. D's. COLUMBIA NEWS. Both the spiritual and social side of life seems to have been aroused during the past month. Rev. S. L. Howard with associate workers conducted a spirited revival for three weeks, during which time many were brought to Christ. Of this number, the greater part was the aged and infirm. Socially things took on new life in- this city. The Bachelor Girls' Club seemed to have taken advantage of the entire twenty-nine days in February, as they realized the fact that it would be a long time before a leap year would bring about another 29th day. The most enjoyable affair of the club's career was the Leap Year Social given Saturday, February 29, at No. 1, corner Fifth and Hill streets, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Perkins. The party began in the day and continued to the latest possible hour Saturday night. A more congenial place and family could not have been selected for the party, for Mrs. Perkins and her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Perkins Irvin, spare no pains in making it agreeable and delightful for home and visiting guests. The club's colors, lavender and white, could be seen in all the rooms as the entire home was thrown open to the guests. Music and games of all kinds were freely indulged in, for all seemed to have left care behind them and come to pay homage to the day and their respects to the bachelor girls. Guests were arriving at all hours and on all trains. The train committee did their part well. The members of the club assisted the hostess in receiving. The out-of-town guests were Messrs. H. A. Boyd, Nelson, Petway* and London, of Nashville; Drs. Moore, Johnson, Stailey, Lynch and Voorhees, of Meharry; Mrs. Hattie Fleming, of Nashville; Mesdames Steward Bird-song, Misses Halfacre and Green, Messrs. Smith and Webster; Members: Misses Daniel, Kelly, Armstrong, Green, Porter, Akin, Frierson and Irvin. At a late hour a delightful menu was served, shortly after which the happy participants began to leave for their many different homes with only one regret on the part of some and that was that some got left. A UNIQUE ARRANGEMENT. One of the best signs of progress among the business Negroes of Nashville is the ever-increasing demand for up-town conveniences. When men are busy they do not always find time to eat, or rather they think so, and don't eat, and of course have trouble with their digestive organs. These men do not always know just what they want and, in fact, they are busy doing something that demands all of their thought. Many of them, probably, have been for years in the habit of going home to their dinner, but unawares they find themselves so busy that the time is gone before they realize it, and then they decide to put off eating until evening. For a long time they have been compelled to endure this condition of affairs, but the emergency has been met. The Gary Grand Grocery Co., one of Nashville's leading enterprises among Negroes, is conducting in connection with their grocery business a family restaurant. If you want to be made to feel like you are at home, go to the Gary Grand Grocery any time you get hungry and eat one of their meals and you will have to look around and see whether you are down town or not. Then after you shall have finished your meal, pay Mr. Gary for it and order your groceries. They keep them fresh and of a choice variety. Telephone number 2703 has become a by-word all over this city when people want something to eat. D. A. DORTCH. AND GENERAL HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS CASH OR CREDIT. Your Old Furniture Taken In Exchange.

The Relief Corps of Lincoln Post, No. 4, held its installation and inspection February 28, at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. Preston Taylor, 449 Fourth avenue, North. The corps had as its guest the National inspector, Mrs. Lois Knauf, of Cleveland, Ohio. The following persons were installed as officers for the ensuing year; Miss Lou Thornton, President; Mrs. Lewis Winter, First Vice President; Mrs. W. P. Rose, Second Vice President; Mrs. H.

Sumner, Secretary; Miss Mattie F. Matthews, Organist. The installation and inspection being over, Comrade Frank Wise was called upon and made quite an effective and earnest speech, which was answered by the Post Commander, Rev, Preston Taylor. Mrs. Knauf was called upon and made quite an interesting and instructive address. She said that the nation, in order to exhibit its strength—and it is strong—must not only guarantee but secure protection to the humblest of its citizens and make him feel safe in trying to exercise his constitutional rights. At the strain of "Columbia" the corps and guests repaired to the dining-room, where a sumptuous repast was awaiting them. The table, as well as the house, was decorated with the national colors and cut flowers. The menu was served in three courses. Mrs. Knauf was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Preston Taylor while in the city. BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY FRANKLIN. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Waddy gave a birthday party in honor of their youngest daughter, Charity Bell Waddy, who was eight years old. Her teacher, Miss Lena Bennett, and many of her little schoolmates were present. Little Charity Bell received a number of presents. Various kinds of fruits, cakes and ices were served. In spite of the gloom of the evening, the little ones seemed to enjoy themselves and brought sunshine with their merry-making. Even Mr. Albert Howard, who has been on the sick list for nearly a fortnight, but is convalescent, seemed to enjoy the evening as well as the little ones. Those present were Mrs. Joe Bennett, Mrs. Charlie Parks, both aunts of little Charlety Bell, Miss Mammile Clayton and Miss Loua North served, James McNairy, Miles Crothers, Sallie and Willie G.

In the course of Bishop Tyree's address he said: "The dear women of this and all other organizations as well, were precious jewels; they may not be valued so much by some—no not as much as a precious stone that was highly valued because of its relation to the royal family of England. This stone is treasured and valued more than it would be, because it is an heirloom. In the latter day when Christ shall come to make up his jewels these faithful women will outshine the stone of the royal family." The Bishop further stated, "The meetings held monthly by this organization bring the members of the church closer together, and thus we understand each other better and learn more of the domestic life of each, they are compelled to recognize each other. One can't be so full of self, but must greet and exchange greetings and in that way each one builds up himself. Don't wait for some one to build you up." After the program. the following business was transacted. The election of officers; May Festival arrangements. The following officers were re-elected by acclamation for the year 1908: Mrs. E. C. Coffey, President; Mrs. Sarah Ewing, Vice President; Mrs. Lizzie Jackson, Treasurer; Miss L. Dickerson, Secretary; Miss M. B. Topp, Assistant Secretary. WRESTLER MAKES CHALLENGE.

Can't Miss the PLACE: Second Door From the Public Square. UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT SPORTING NEWS. Last Season Greatest for Baseball. Last season was perhaps one of the greatest of all seasons for Negro ball players and fans both financially and socially. Managers and owners realized greater profits from the games played in 1907 than any season previous, despite the weather, which caused a late season. Chicago, Louisville, Nashville, St. Louis, Indianapolis and other like cities felt the craze of baseball as they never did before. It seemed that the white as well as the black fans were interested in every game played by cooired teams. At Chicago the Leland Giants drew large crowds even at the very time that the National League team might be playing a great game in the self same city. They crowded to see the Giants, whites and blacks, as much so as they did to see the Cubs or the Sox ladies play. They wanted to see Rube Foster pitch as much so as they would care to see Waddell do the stunt, the result being heavy receipts. The coming season is going to put a demand on professional ball players of color in this country, as every manager has awakened to the idea that professional ball playing is the only kind that the ball fan will pay for, and therefore each manager must do away with the amateur and hire the professional. This is going to make or cause a demand for the good player everywhere, and in order to secure the good player the manager must "crack a salary worthy of attention." The Negro player must be given a little more consideration in the future than he has been given in the past. Louisville captured the climax for the Sunday games, although Cincinnati and Indianapolis were close upon her heels. The game between St. Louis and Louisville almost at the close of last season was attended by over 3,000 enthusiastic fans. In fact most every game was equally as well attended. Cleveland and Columbus reported splendid business for week days as well. Last season was remarkable, and the coming season, promising a National League, looks even better, so say sportsmen.—Freeman. THE GEORGE DIXON MONUMENT. Mike Newman, the well-known promotor of New York, was in Boston last week on business relative to the monument that the sporting people are to erect over George Dixon's grave. It was Mr. Newman who started the movement, and he has about $2,000 now in hand. After a conference with Undertaker Hutchins, who buried the boxer, Mr. Newman found that the grave in which Dixon lies in Mount Hope Cemetery is not large enough for the monument in view, so the plot containing four graves is to be purchased. The plan is to have only Dixon's body lie in the plot, which will make the last resting place of the little colored boxer very conspicuous. The design for the monument, which will be of granite, has not yet been completed. A bust of the boxer and an inscription are to be placed on it. YOUNG JACKSON STAYS THE LIMIT. Out in Maysville, Cal., a few nights ago Young Peter Jackson and Dick Sullivan, of San Francisco, fought seventeen rounds. In the seventeenth round Referee Eddie Smith, of Oakland, declared "no contest." The fighters had an agreement that if both were on their feet at the end of the twenty rounds that it was to be declared a draw. They no doubt had it framed to go the limit, and rather than "bunk" the spectators, the referee sent them to their corners. The fighting of Jackson showed him up to be in great form and had it been a finish fight there would have been an easy victory for Jackson. * * * Major Taylor, the world's greatest cycle spinner, has re-entered the saucer and is now teaming with Mr. Lawson in a six-day, 12 hours per day race at Boston, Mass. The race will close to-night. Up to going to press honors were even and none of the teams had gained a lap. ** Rube Foster, the crack pitcher of the Leland Giants, is spending the winter in Cuba twirling for the Havana team. During a recent game on the island between the Havanas and the Almendares, Rube was beaten 4 to 3, in which two home runs off the colored pitcher turned the tide of the battle. In fact he was hit harder than Chicago fans are accustomed to see. Not in the number, but in the quality, and not once did the great Foster fan a batter. He pitched against Ortega in this particular game, and according to the Havana Daily Post, was outclassed. The crowd, 7500, went wild when it saw the noted Chicago twirler driver out of the box. Foster had for his receiver a player named Gracia. Short stop was anchored down by one Bust- amante. Nothing could get through him. *** Joe Jeanette, the colored heavyweight knocked out George Cole in the fourth round of their six-round bout at the Consolidated A. C. Cole never figured in a hunt with Jeanette, the latter be- ing too heavy and much too clever for his opponent, Jeanette sent Cole to the floor once in the second, and came back in the third by sprawling Cole on the canvass twice. When the men faced each other in the fourth it was evident that Cole was near the end. Jeanette began to punch him to his heart's content, when Cole's backers saw that their man was hopelessly out-classed and tossed the sponge into the ring. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES.
