THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. III. Funeral of Rev. Father Mc Gavock Largely Attended. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH GROWDED BY FRIEND. BISHOP EVANS TYREE PREACHES MASTERLY SERMON REV. IMES PAYS BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE WORTHY CITIENS-BURIAL UNDER AUSPICES OF MASONIC ORDER GRAND MASTER HENRY PRESENT-REV. McGAVOCK WAS ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS OF MASONIC FRATERNITY IN TENNESSEE-A REMARKABLE MAN IN MANY WAYS-AN APOSTLE OF PEACE-A WISE COUNSELOR. On last Sunday afternoon a large body of the citizens of Nashville assembled at the St. John A. M. E. Church to pay the last tribute of respect to one of the leading characters of the state of Tennessee, the late Rev. Nelson McGavock. He was a pioneer in more ways than one, and served the community well in which he lived. Rev. McGavock was a painter by trade and a minister of the Gospel by choice. After singing by the choir and Scripture reading Rev. B. G. Gordon, the pastor, read the following obituary: "Rev. Nelson McGavock was born March 3, 1823, and died March 13, 1908. He was at the etime of his death 85 years anad 10 days of age. There are but few if any who can remember him other than Rev. McGavock; for he found Christ precious to his soul in early boyhood, and thence became a devout Christian and gospel-bearer for his Master. This course he continued to pursue, with meekness and great reverence till he was summoned to come home. Around his memory clings a fact of which not any other A. M. E. can boast, for it was in his home many years ago that the African Methodist Church in this city was organized. He was much beloved and greatly reverenced by his church and if from no other reason than the one just mentioned, it will stand paramount for in those days it took one of no ble character and God-fearing per severance to offer his home for a church or schoolhouse. Rev. McGavock has not laid his burden down suddenly, for he has lived fourscore and five years. Four years of which time, he was practically an invalid, but he was still in the care of the family where he spent most of his time. He was the son of Aunt Fanny Grundy, who lived to be 109 years old before she was called home, and was the brother of Mrs. Alice Grundy, also deceased. But in the absence of such dear friends as mother and sister, there was still another God had left to care for him, a devoted niece, Mrs. Mary Hadley Davis, whose tenderness, patience and devotion in caring for him has won much admiration from all who knew them, for "Uncle Nelson" never knew a want that "Mary" did not satisfy. With all the days of suffering which came to him he bore them patiently and with a fortitude most remarkable, for he was never known to murmur. He was ever raedy to explain passages of Scripture, for he was most thoroughly versed in the Bible and it was always the delight of the Sunday-school teachers to have him present at their meetings. With his discourses he has graced nearly every pulpit in this and other counties of Tennessee; yet he leaves us and passes into a broader sphere beyond to receive his portion for a life well lived and the good done here below. He leaves three nieces: Mrs. Geo. W. East, Mrs. Carrie E. Word, Mrs. Mary H. Davis, grandnieces and nephews, besides a host of friends NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1908. THE LATE REV. NELSON M'GAVOCK. and admirers to mourn his departure. After he had finished reading he introduced Bishop Tyree, who said in part: "When I was informed last Saturday afternoon that I was requested to say something on this occasion, I began looking through my library for something that would throw some light on the history of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee. I found a volume of records that were compiled by the late Rev. Bedford Green during his lifetime and in that I found that many years ago Rev. Nelson McGavock identified himself with the Tennessee Annual Conference. I have been associated with him nearly forty years and I have had a splendid opportunity to study his life. But the thing that puzzles me to-day is just how I am to say what ought to be said about this character in the time allotted—just where to begin and how to end. For any one who knew Brother McGavock and cannot say anything about a man like him, is blank, utterly blank." Bishop Tyree said that Rev. McGavock was a quiet unassuming man, never made much noise; but he was a shining light (Continued on Page 6.) ASSAULT ON MR. BOWLING RESENTED. ASSAULT ON MR. BOWLING RESENTED. DELEGATES TO THE A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE TAKE ACTION. Probable That They Will Not Travel Over the L. & N. Road. As a result of the attempted assault on Mr. Luther Bowling a few days ago, which has caused a great deal of discussion among the delegates who will attend the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, at the last session of the Preachers' Alliance the matter was given serious consideration. A resolution was offered condemning that road, but was not passed, as some thought that when the case was sifted it would be shown that the management does not condone such actions on the part of its employees, and that the guilty party would be expelled from the service of the company. So the matter was laid on the table to await developments. Those who are going to Norfolk in May do not feels that they could afford to risk being insulted and probably assaulted by those whom they are paying to give them service, and they entertain a fear that if they should go to the city office they would come in contact with the same party who attempted to assault Mr. Bowling. The matter has been laid before the authorities and those best acquainted with the management feel confident that the cowardly and impudent fellow will receive what he serves—a dismissal from the service CONCERT BY BLIND SCHOOL Pupils Show They Receive Careful Training. RENDER BEAUTIFUL SELECTIONS AT FIRST-BAPTIST CHURCH. SOLOS, VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL; DUETS, TRIOS, JUBILEE SONGS, READINGS, RECITATIONS AND SCRIPTURE READING MAKE UP THE PROGRAM ALL PUPILS SHOW GREAT SKILL AND ABILITY-CONCERT GIVEN TO ACQUAINT PUBLIC WITH THE INSTITUTION SCHOOL ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL WHO ARE WORTHY OF ADMITTANCE-MRS. LOWE PRINCIPAL, MAKES SPLENDID TALK. The concert, consisting of vocal solos, duets, trios, Jubilee songs, instrumental recitals, readings, recitations, declamations and Scripture reading, rendered Monday evening at the First Baptist Church by pupils from the Blind School, under the direction of Principal Lowe and her efficient assistants, Miss Minnie Mae Hunter, Miss Quinetta L. Compton and Mr. Myers, Master of Ceremonies, was an enjoyable one. A large and appreciative audience was present to witness the exercises. Every number on the program was well rendered, and was heartily applauded by the audience whose sympathy was evidently with the young people, who, though deprived of the priceless blessing of physical vision, were performing their parts severally and collectively in a most excellent manner. "Somebody knocking at your door," "Ain't that good news," "Bye and bye," were interpreted by a class of eight (4 girls and 4 boys) with a fidelity of fervor and a richness of melody that would have enraptured even the men and women who used to sing these songs as a medium of giving expression of praise to God for whatever blessings he vouchsafed to them in the cruel slavery days. The reading of the Scriptures by Melvin Harrold and Mary Sue Dickerson was listened to with much attention. But the reading of Little Mary Sue Dickerson was exceptionally good. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. She has a sweet voice which she has under splendid control, giving to her reading that inflection, enunciation and emphasis which make it remarkable in one so young and who has had but one year in the school, as the Globe representative was informed. To make what might be a long story short, it may be said that each pupil performed his or her part in a praise-worthy way. The object for giving this concert at the church was to let the public have an opportunity of seeing what is being done to prepare these sightless children for the duties of life. This was gleaned from the remarks made by Mr. Myers. He said that if parents of children eligible to benefits of the school could be induced to send them here more could be asked for from the state for the enlargement of the institution. He said that the superintendent was in hearty sympathy and accord with what is being done. The principal, Mrs. Lowe, also gave a splendid talk, reviewing in a pointed way the work being accomplished at the institution. She appealed to the people to co-operate with the management in making the institution what it should be—a blessing to the unfortunate children that an overruling Providence has ordained must go through this world without the aid of sight. She recounted instances of some who have received the benefits of the institution and have gone out into life and how helpful they have become in the respective communities in which they live. She gave a graphic and succinct description of student life at the institution—how they work, how they live, how they worship, how helpful they are, how contented, how genial and kindly considerate of each other's welfare and comfort. From beginning to end her talk was interesting, full of information, suggestion and appeal. Rev. Mr. Ellington made a strong plea for the institution in his characteristic earnest and manly way. He thanked the Faculty and pupils for their presence and the entertainment. No one who saw the concert and the proficiency of the pupils would entertain any doubt as to the remarkable as well as noble work being done by Principal Lowe and her worthy assistants, Misses Hunter and Compton. Everybody was pleased with the evening's exercises, and took occasion to thank and congratulate Mrs. Lowe, the young lady teachers and the pupils personally after the close of the evening's entertainment. Principal Lowe brought along exhibits of the handiwork done by students in the Manual Training Department and in the Sewing Department. The students also demonstrated how they do their mental or literary work. The people examined everything with eager interest, and expression of pleasure derived from the evening's entertainment were heard on every side. The exercises were as follows: PROGRAM.

Dr. Roman Will Lecture Sunday, April 5—Deferred for Convenience of Knights of Pythias. There is a rare treat in store for the citizens of Nashville, which they will be admitted to receive Sunday afternoon if they visit St. John A. M. E. Church at the hour of 3:30. On this occasion Bishop Tyree will deliver one of his famous lectures on the absorbing subject before the American people to-day, namely: "Our Home and Church Life." The Negroes of Nashville are well acquainted with the speaker for this occasion, he having lived in this city for more than twenty-five years, but they are not as well acquainted with his knowledge of the conditions of our people as they ought to be and for this reason a free lecture has been arranged that all who desire may come. The first of this series of lectures that was to have been delivered by Rev. W. S. Ellington was postponed indefinitely on account of the funeral of the late Rev. Nelson McGavock. The third and last of the series that was to have been delivered by Dr. C. V. Roman on the fifth Sunday in March has been deferred to the first Sunday in April. This action was necessary in view of the fact that the Order of Knights of Pythias will have their annual sermon on that Sunday afternoon and many of the members are anxious to hear Dr. Roman. No.11. IT SEEMS TO BE SETTING OVER ADMINISTRATION'S CHOICE. REPUBLICANS BECOMING MORE AND MORE DISSATISFIED WITH TAFT AS A CHOICE—REALIZE THAT THE BROWNSVILLE AF-FAIR CANNOT BE RECKONED WITH AS CHILD'S PLAY—AFRAID OF DOUBTFUL STATES—OHIO PLATFORM CONSIDERED A BAIT—TAFT PLAYING TO THE NEGRO VOTERS—OHIO PROUD OF FORAKER, WHO STILL TOWERS LIKE FOREST OAK ABOVE HIS POLITICAL ADVERSARIES. Washington, D. C., March 16.—As the time for the national conventions draws nigh, the political situation throughout the United States assumes more serious proportions. It looks as though the democrats will, as predicted, turn to their idol, Wm. Jennings Bryan, handing him the nomination on a silver plate, refusing to accept Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, while the republicans are still casting around trying to find a man that can not only get the nomination before the republican convention that is to meet in Chicago in June, but can carry up to the polls in November a large electoral vote. It is a foregone conclusion among the representative congressmen and senators here, together with well-informed men in various departments that under the present conditions the doubtful states will be more doubtful and the close states closer, with the solid South just as solid. There is practically no significance in the change of Missouri and Kentucky, except with the small hope that Kentucky will repeat her recent actions in keeping a republican as governor, and Missouri may rebuke Senator Warren. At any rate the country must soon be called upon to render a verdict as to its approval or disapproval in the present chief executive's action with regard to the Brownsville affair. The moves on the political checkerboard have been watched by the most celebrated political experts. One gentleman, who is known to have been in politics for the last forty years, gave his opinion of Mr. Roosevelt and the administration with respect to the recent swapping and changing of positions as being in the same condition the prisoner was in who was a very desperate character and was arrested by an officer, who boasted that he would arrest the desperado, but was afraid of his prisoner after arresting him; so he drew his revolver and a dirk, at the same time addressing his prisoner thus, "Run I shoot you; stand I cut you." This view is confirmed by many recent happenings in various parts of the country by the administration forces in their efforts to strengthen the Taft candidacy and assure his nomination. The New York Press of March 13, contained as the leading editorial: "There can be little doubt that the President's action regarding the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Brownsville to mollify the colored vote on the eve of the national election will fall to reconcile it to Mr. Taft. Nothing has been made clearer in this canvass for the Republican nomination than that the Brownsville affair has permanently alienated the negroes of the country from the administration. In mass meeting, from the pulpit and through published announcements notice has been served on Mr. Taft that the colored vote will be cast against him if he is nominated. It is scarcely to be questioned that alarm over this important disaffection has moved the President at this late day to offer to restore to their military rank those soldiers who supply evidence that they were not guilty of the crime for which they were punished by executive order. But the resentment of the whole colored race is so deep that this political expedient is more likely to infiltrate it further FREE LECTURES St. John A. M. E.

The action of the Taft forces in Ohio in throwing out a bait to catch the Negro vote, confirms the New York Press in taking the position, and the recent meeting held in Brooklyn, in which Booker T. Washington and Wm. H. Taft appeared on the platform as the principal speakers, presumably to help Hampton and Tuskegee, was in reality a one-act performance to draw the attention of the Negro voters of the country to the great ancestral record of Mr. Taft. But the calculation is a bad one, say the political authorities, and means but another victory for Mr. Foraker. THE The Penn which the local close show most at the groe finar stock been been build ente The Washington delegation has not as yet expressed itself, but it is no secret that they are in hearty accord with the anti-Taft movement. They were partly encouraged by the New York Sun of March 14, which took occasion to throw a large bouquet at the senior senator from Ohio. The Sun and the New York Press are looked upon in Washington as the leading authorities on the political situation. The Sun of the 14, in taking a stand for Mr. Foraker, said: "Foraker is 'down and out,' Foraker is 'buried.' Burton, who tried to 'save our fair city' of Cleveland so gallantly, is as good as elected Senator in Foraker's place. So the parasites of the administration are yelling joyously—all the time servers, all the led captains of politics, all the weak and silly sisters who are bound to be on the winning side. Perhaps these rejoicings are premature. At any rate, they are despicable. If Foraker has been beaten by Roosevelt and Cox, there must be many citizens of Ohio, as there are of the rest of the United States, who will not forget what he has been beaten for. For insisting on justice, even to black men. For performing with conscientious independence his duties as a Senator in Congress. For loyalty to the Constitution. For defending the courts. For maintaining the legal and traditional American respect for the rights of property. For insisting upon the Constitutional functions of the Senate. For refusing to fall down and worship the brazen calf. Perhaps Ohio will be proud enough of Foraker when the present mania has died away a little to keep him in the post he honors so conspicuously." A talk with prominent Negroes and white republicans at the National Capital convinces your correspondent that The New York Sun expressed the sentiment of ninety per cent of the republicans, and equally as much among the democrats concerning Foraker, who still towers, like a giant oak in the forest, above his political adversaries. REV. HARDING IN CHEYENNE, WYOMING. The friends of Rev. J. L. Harding will be pleased to know that he is rapidly improving. He spent ten days in Cheyenne, conducting a revival. The Far West with its cold, dry climate has so improved his health that he was able to conduct this meeting with excellent results. He stated in his letter that after spending one week in the highest altitude in the West, winning many souls to Christ, he would return to Denver, where he will remain for two months longer before returning to Nashville. The results of the revival added fifty souls to the Baptist Church in Wyoming. AID FOR ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY There has been a notice issued by the Baptist Ministers' Conference of this city that the Executive Board of the Stone River Association at a recent session, passed resolutions requesting all the Baptist ministers in the city to observe the fifth Sunday in March as a special rally day. Those that cannot give the entire day are urged to take an after collection at their churches, be it little or much, and send the same to Rev. Wm. Haynes, who is financial agent for Roger Williams.

Friday, March 14, the school was visited by Mrs. Eliza Burford, Mrs. Maggie Jennings, and Mrs. Connie Hendley, who spent the day. The parents expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the work of the teacher and pupils. It is said by those living near the school and parents who have visited the school, that the management this term can not be surpassed. There has not been a public road fight or any on the school grounds this term. Heretofore such occurrences have given much trouble to the neighborhood and school. The County Superintendent has visited the school twice this term and one member of the Board of Education. Mrs. Annie Buford Gibson spent last Thursday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Buford. Mr. D. R. Merritt was in our neighborhood a few days ago. The Globe is a welcome visitor in Mr. Wm. Hendley's home each week. COLUMBIA NOTES.

The recent catastrophe at Cleve- land, Ohio, in which a hundred of lives were lost by fire, has given the Board of Edneation an incentive to remedy the many defects found in the public school buildings of this place; but it seems that church officials of the sev- eral houses of worship are slow to take advantage of the above lesson. Most of the churches of Clarksville are so constructed that a repetition of the frightful affair is likely to occur at any tine, unless better arrangements in additional exits for quick dismissal of congregations are made, All arrangements had just been com- pleted making another addition to ever-increasing leap year marriages, when John Dixon, age 17 years, son of the Hon. Nace Dixon, the councilman, was heard to remark, “Now is the winter of my discontent made glori- ous,” and forthwith announced that Miss Flossie Peacher, a handsome miss of fifteen, was his bride. The ceremony was performed last Monday afternoon at the residence of Rey. Mr. Irving, pastor of the A, M. EB. Zion Church. This couple so far holds the record for being the youngest led by Cupid to the hymeneal altar. Last Monday night at Wesley Chap- el, a second opportunity was given the maids with mellowed age and pros- -pective ones, widows and the other kind, a chance to be sold to the high- est bidder. The lot disposed of at a former sale must not haye proved of real worth, as the prices offered at last Monday’s sale averaged about six cents a piece. All in all the affair was quite enjoyable. Last Tuesday afternoon, just in the prime of her life, with neither mother nor father to give succor, and forbid- den the friendly domicile of relatives, heart-broken over the remorse of a false step and forced by the pangs of want, all that was mortal of Miss Inez Reeves was found in squalid surround. ings far from her accustamed home. A few of her former friends, assisted by the public, gave-the remains a Christian burial. Short remarks were said by Rev. H. Metcalf, and the in- terment was at Golden Hill Cemetery, Fifth Ward Baptist Church has been the scene of stirring revival services for the last two weeks. A number of conversions has been announced. The installation services, through which the Rey. BE. M. Seymour, of Shel- byville, Tenn., became pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, were held _be- fore a large concourse of people. Rev. B. M. Lawrence, of Nashville, delivered the sermon and invested Rev. Mr. Sey- mour with all the rites of pastor. On Monday night the members gave a banquet at Buck's Hall in honor of their newly installed leader. Mrs. Lula Bell gave a reception last Monday afternoon at her residence from 3 to 6 o'clock. The affair was the usual meeting of the Ladies’ Art Club, and was quite an enjoyable so- cial event. Mr. Albert Meriwether left last Sat- urday for Chicago, where he goes to accept a position in the postal service, if he is successful in the examination. Messrs. William Jenkins and James Reeves were in Hopkinsville Sunday. Mrs. Mattie Harland left last Sun- day for Champlain, Ill., where she will spend several weeks. Dr, B. D: Burrus, of Guthrie, was in the city Monday, Mr. John Bailey came over from Nashville Sunday. Mrs. Mattie Steward returned from Ashland City Sunday. Messrs. Primrose Watkins and John Steward were in Nashville Sunday and Monday, Rey. G. C, Smith, of Nashville, passed through city Sunday en route to Edgoten, Ky. Rev. B. R. Polk left Monday for Sadlersville, Tenn. Miss Tenie Anderson wishes now to be called Mrs. Leonard Fletcher. The eyent was solemnized last Thursday.

Greenway, leader of cotillons. “But I'll tell you a compliment a young woman did pay me once. She said: “You took me through that crowd with- out a collision and without any one treading on my skirt.’ “Well, I never had a dancing lesson ‘They trailed along behind several yard dancing in the days when women wore those great long trains and it was not considered good form to pick them up. Vhey trailed alone behind several yards. Those were the days when you had to guide and keep moving with your partner so as to keep that train following gracefully.” ~ “But how did you practise?” “Used to tie two sheets to an ordina- ry chair and then dance in and out among a dozen chairs seattered over a dance tloor, among a dozen chairs scattered over ‘a dance floor. au PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. This school was favored this week with the presence of a distinguished visitor in the persen of Rev. Sutton E£. Griggs. Fivery one who is ac- quainted with Dr. Griggs is honored by that acquaintance. When in his presence one becomes conscious that he is in the presence of a ma nof su- perfor powers. Aside from the pro- fundity of his knowledge of books and of men, modesty (as is true of all truly great men) is one of the chief marks of his character, Though simple in words and plain of speech, he is foreeful in thought, strong in personality and great in results ac- complished, Dr. Griggs ranks to-day as one of the brainiest men of the Negro race, or of any race. . Your reporter regrets that he cannot give you the address which he delivered to the school, that the readers of The Globe might have the benefit of it. But the address was so full of good and encouraging thoughts and was delivered in such an earnest and im- pressive way that the reporter him- self became deeply absorbed in the address and dropped his pencil to lis- ten, One point, however, was im- pressed firmly upon the minds of his hearers. The speaker said: “Nature does things by relays. The life of man is divided into three periods, youth, manhood and old age. Youth is thé time for preparation, manhood for achievement, and old age for re- tirement. The men who are doing the work of the world to-day must finally retire, and give place to the youths who are coming up behind them. The teachers in the schools to-day will have to give way when their work is accomplished, to the very pupils whom they teach. So it is with peo- ples and nations. The Greeks gave to the world all that is beautiful in art, sculpture and language, but when their work was done they gave place to the Romans; the Romans gave to the world as their contribution to civ- flization their system of jurispru- dence, then they passed into insig- nificance; the Jews gave the world Religion and their work was done. It remained yet for the Negro to deter- mine what his contribution should be.” The speaker said that here in Amer- ica, under the same skies, under in- fluences of the same climate, was given for the first time in the history of the world an apportunity for the Negro to compete with the white mun. He believed that the Negro would play his part well and in the end leave his contributioin as a her- itage to benefit and bless the world. Miss B. B. Moore, who has been absent from her post of duty in the Domestic Science Department for the past five weeks, has returned much to the delight of her pupils and fellow teachers. Dr. F. G. Smith, the principal, is about ready to place his order for Commencement music. Miss C. M. Bryant, the organist of the High School, has been running over sev- eral pieces with a view to selection during the past week, Upon her rec- ommendation the principal has de- cided to organize a Glee Club of la- dies’ voices, which will present at least one number on the program. Several copies of Lorenz Bros. “Pieces for Female Voices” will be ordered from Dayton, Ohio, within the next few days. “Up and Away March Chorus,” by Adam Geibel, is is being considered for the opening chorus. * DELECTABLE DINNER. Mrs. Dora Merrill, of 903 Eleventh avenue, North, entertained Rev. J. W. Cook, the eminent evangelist, Rev, T. J. Townsend, D. D., and Mrs. N. BE, Dunlap at an elaborate dinner last Sunday afternoon, The dining-room was decorated in a manner appropri- ate to the occasion, and the repast, which was perfect in every detail, was thoroughly enjoyed by those who partook of the hospitality of the hostess, MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. Great revival meetings are being held at Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, Cedar street, near Ninth avenue. Dr. C, H. Clark, the pastor, is being ably assisted by Rey. C. P. M. Bigbee, D. D., of Elkton, Ky. a minister well known throughout the South as an evangelist of great power. Dr. Bigbee assisted Dr. Clark in revival services some time ago, and endeared himself to the people of this city by his gentlemanly ways and Christian bearing. During the pres- ent meetings much interest has been manifested, and twenty-two or more have professed faith in the Saviour and joined the church. Ee NEW CLUB.

Cohen, President; Ba- leigh Morgan, Vice President; Will- jam Alexander, Secretary; John Mor: gan, Assistant Secretaray; William H. Pointer, Treasurer; Robert Wood- ard, Assistant Treasurer.

At seven o'clock the guests ‘after thanking the hostess for her un- equaled hospitality, left to attend “Ben Hur.’ A DELECTABLE CALICO DANCE Almost unique in the entirety, and certainly unique in many of its ap- pointments insofar as Nashville is concerned, -was the Calico Dance «iven at the Odd Fellows auditorium Tuesday night. Not only was this so- cial affair notable as being out of the ordinary in its appointments, but it is entitled to be ranked with the pleas- antest affairs of the season, As the name would indicate, all the ladies present were dressed in calico costumes made especially for the oc: casion while each of the gentlemen was supplied with a calico tie to match the costume of his company. As the ladies with their vari-colored costumes and the gentlemen in even- ing dress with incongruous _ ties, glided across the highly polished floor, the scene presented was one beautiful in the extreme—a veritable symphony in colors. A symphony which gave testimony to the rare taste and deft management of Mrs. C. N. Langston, who planned and di- rected the whole affair. The dance program consisted of sixteen num- hers and frequently the orchestra compelled to respond to encores. Throughout the evening punch was served from a dias, as it were, which was very tastefully decorated with cut flowers. Acting as chaperones to the dance were the following: Més- dames J, C. Napier, W. H. Hodgkins, Marshall Cheatham, Mr. and Mrs, C. N. Langston, Mr. and Mrs, J. S. Mar- tin, Mr, and Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Belsaw, Dr. C. V. Ro- man, Dr. EB. B. Jefferson, Among oth- ers present were Misses L. B. Badger, G. A. Bradford, Virginia Broughton, Carrie M. Bryant, Esther Polk Berry, Lena Compton, Palladium Compton, Queenetta Compton, Grace Frank, Frankie Caldwell, Jennie Childress, Hazel Thompson, Minnie Hunter, Elizabeth Moore, Lady Emma Louise Phillips, Messrs.

NEGRO WOMEN. We have mentioned frequently in these columns the series of articles appearing in the American Magazine on the race question, and have had occasion to praise the fairness with which Ray Stannard Baker has approached the subject. Nothing, however, that he has written in the series appears more striking and worthy of commendation than his tribute to the women of our race in the March issue of the Magazine. Writing on "The Morals of Negro Women," Mr. Baker says: "I saw a good deal of these in various lines of activity (efforts to help the Negro of the North) and talked with the people who come close in touch with the struggling masses of Negro poor. I wish I had room to tell some of the stories I heard; the black masses of poverty, disease, hopeless ignorance and yet everywhere shot through with hopeful tendencies and individual uplift and success. In Indianapolis, as in other Northern cities, I heard much to the credit of the Negro women. "If the Negro is saved here in the North Miss Smith told me it will be due to the women. "They gave me many illustrations showing how hard the Negro women worked—taking in washing or going out every day to work, raising families, keeping the home, sometimes supporting worthless husbands. "A Negro woman of the lower class,' one visitor said to me, 'rarely expects her husband to support her. She takes the whole burden herself.' "And the women, so the Loan Association visitors told me, are the chief savers; they are the ones who get and keep the bank account. I have heard a great deal South and North about the immorality of Negro women. Much immorality no doubt exists, but no honest observer can go into any of the crowded colored communities of Northern cities and study the life without coming away with a new respect for the Negro woman. "When a true history of America shall be written, giving credit where credit is due, no one figure will stand in higher relief for devotion and self-sacrifice as will that of the American Negro woman. No woman of this country is so surrounded by temptations as she and that the percentage of immorality is so small under conditions which exist stamps her as the most moral woman of the times." What Mr. Baker has said about our women working to assist the family is known to every observer of the race. Their love for their immediate family is so great that in innumerable cases they work out, go without sufficient clothing and deny themselves of all the comforts in order that their children may attain higher things. Few Negro men who have amounted to anything, can but point with pride to some mother or wife who has "taken in" washing or done other work to assist in paying the family expenses. The Negro womanhood of America deserves everything complimentary --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1908. that can be said of it. It is the most industrious womanhood—according to the last census statistics—in America, and besides has made more sacrifices for the good of their race than any womanhood in the world. TWO VERSIONS. There is no blight upon the Negro of the South worse than that of the lying correspondents to daily newspapers. In these sheets, there is seldom if ever a conflict between individuals of the two races but that the man of color was the aggressor, was in fault, and got the worst end of the altercation. This week there comes a story from a small place in Kentucky, the name of which is immaterial, in which it was stated that the place was on the verge of race war. The cause as given by the white press, was that when a white officer attempted to arrest a "burly Negro," the latter took the pistol away from the officer and shot him, killing him on the spot. This was the white man's version, but there is, as is always the case, another side. This is the Negro version as reported to The Globe. This small Kentucky town contains possibly more Negroes than whites and though the races have got along very well together, the color-line is tightly drawn. In fact, so tightly drawn is the color-line that strumpets of one race are not allowed to associate with members of another race. This officer, the version says, was caught in a compromising position with a Negro strumpet and was arrested. On the day of his death he was on his way to the trial when he met a Negro man, who was a witness, coming out of a barber shop. The officer, brandishing his pistol, made threats of what he would do if the man testified against him and finally ended by slapping the face of the colored man. The colored man immediately knocked down the irate officer and began to tussle for the gun. Being the better man, this he secured and shot in self-defense. These are the two versions of the beginning of the miniature race war in Kentucky. Which contains the more truth is too obvious to be designated. BROWNSVILLE REPORTS. The report on the Brownsville affair signed by Senators Foraker and Bulkeley, contains much of the evidence submitted before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs and settles beyond reasonable question that the "conspiracy of silence" charge upon which the soldiers were discharged, was nct proven. Much of the evidence reproduced would seem to warrant the conclusion of these two Senators that it was doubtful if the colored troopers were responsible for the affair. As to who really "shot up" Brownsville, there seems to be as much uncertainty as before the Committee on Military Affairs reported. But this, it would seem, is certain, that if the evidence connecting the soldiers was so flimsy as to make a grand jury at the scene of the affray, subject to all the local prejudices, refuse to bring in a true bill, it must not have been strong enough to justify the wholesale dismissal of the troop. Roosevelt, while claiming that his actions have been sustained, reverses himself and asks for permission to reinstate those who prove themselves innocent. Brownsville is a live wire and the last of that famous affair has not been heard. The hot shots fired at Secretary Taft by the Negro newspapers all over the country have caused the genial Secretary to take advantage of every possible occasion to state his views on the Negro question and disfranchisement. Mr. Taft comes of abolitionist stock and he cites this as one of his qualifications for the support of the colored brother and, incidentally, has toned down his speech on the disfranchisement laws of the South. Mr. Taft is an optimist; he confesses it. He is a candidate; he confesses it. He hates political bosses—no! he is the candidate now of the boss of the whole republican party, and must go back on his record and cater to all the sub-bosses of the party. Governor Patterson is using moral suasion to stop the "night riders" in the black tobacco belt of Tennessee. This may be good for a starter, but if these lawless bands do not stop their nefarious work, he should bring all the power that the state commands to put them in the penitentiary. Next week the republicans of the state will hold a state convention in this city. From present indications it would appear that something of a fight will be precipitated in an effort of each of the two factions to prove the priority of its claim as the original Taft supporters. In the death of Mr. William M. Flowers, the Globe has lost a friend who was always willing to help, in whatever manner he could, the paper's interest. The owners of The Globe have lost a personal friend and would tender to the bereaved wife their sincerest sympathy. Haiti is off on another rampage. Haiti is very much like the democratic party in Tennessee—always squabbling about who is to hold office. Gentle Spring, with its etheral mildness and "fever," is with us. COMMUNICATION. A CARD OF THANKS. To The Nashville Globe: Please allow us to express through the columns of your invaluable paper our unqualified thanks for the beautiful article that recently appeared in your paper on the death and funeral services of the late Rev. B. Tappan; to our many friends, white and black, that called during his illness and while his body lay in state at his home; to the President of Fisk University for the short service held in his memory the next morning after his burial; to the large number of ministers who occupied the pulpit, as well as to Drs. Clark, Haynes and Kirkpatrick, who spoke sympathetic words in portraying the life, labors and death of the deceased; to the choir for rendering sweet music; to the pastor, Dr. Townsend, of Spruce Street Church, for his thoughtful and appropriate sermon and for the praiseworthy manner in which he conducted the beautiful services; to our friends who wrote letters expressing condolence and offering their services in any way we might suggest; and to undertakers, Alsup & McGavock for the very satisfactory manner in which they performed the duties of their position. These remembrances of our friends, their visitations to our home and attendance at the church; their floral offerings, kind words, hearty handshakes and other wise general helpfulness contributed more than we can estimate towards mitigating the bereavement through which a wise and unerring Providence had caused us to pass. Once more thanking our friends and praying God's blessings upon them, we are, Yours graterfully, MRS. ANNA TAPPAN, BISHOP AND MRS. C. H. PHILLIPS AND FAMILY. THE MEHARRY COMMENCEMENT. The invitations of the faculty and the graduating class of 1908 of Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical College for the forty-second anniversary of the institution, are out to scores of friends of the faculty and the students.

At the last General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which met at Richmond, Va., he and two others were the colored delegates to that Convention from the colored clergy of the Episcopal Church and appealed to that Convention for colored Bishops for the Episcopal Church. Late Monday, afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock, near the corner of Jo Johnston avenue and Spruce street, an exciting altercation occurred between Jennie Pratt and Alice Wilson, in which the latter was dangerously slashed and stabbed by the former, so much so that she was taken away in the patrol wagon on a stretcher. The Pratt woman lived near the scene of the difficulty, while the Wilson woman hailed from some locality in South Nashville. It is said that the Wilson woman was out hunting for trouble and the Pratt Woman accommodated her. The women were tanking up on beer from a nearby joint when the trouble arose and the bloody affray was the outcome of their maudlin condition.

DEATH OF WILLIAM M. FLOWERS When the Southern train, bound from Washington, D. C., to Nashville, Tenn., pulled up to the terminal station at Nashville Monday night, March 16, the last breath of the life of William Meredith Flowers, who had lived in this city for years, was breathed and he was no more. It is one of the saddest occasions in the memory of the people of Nashville. About a year ago his health began to fail so rapidly that his physicians advised him to leave the printing business. At that time he was foreman of the pressroom of the National Baptist Publishing House, corner Market and Locust streets, a position he had held for more than seven years, having worked himself up from a press-feeder to the position. Notwithstanding the advice of his physicians he was loath to leave his chosen profession. After remaining in Nashville several months after leaving the Baptist Publishing House, he seemed slightly improved and was appointed to a position in the government printing office at Washington. During the month of September, while the National Baptist Convention was in session in the National Capital he was seen by quite a number of the Nashville delegates and appeared to be improving. But a few weeks ago the news reached the city that his health had so failed him that he was forced to be sent to the Freedmen's Hospital. He continued to grow worse until finally his wife left the city for his bedside. Upon arriving in Washington she discovered that he was nearing his end and had a longing desire to be brought back to this city. Regardless of his fast sinking condition he insisted upon returning. Weak, frail and so near gone with the ravages of that dreadful disease that he could not walk, he summoned that great force—will power—and demanded that he be HOWSE BROS. FURNITURE, STOVES AND CARPETS TERMS TO SUIT EVERYBODY. We Can Furnish Your Home Complete from Parlor to Kitchen. We Take Good Goods as First Payment; Balance Weekly or Monthly. brought home. The wife obeyed. So on Saturday they set out for their long journey. He survived until the conductor called, "Nashville! All out for Nashville!" and then breathed his last. The remains were taken from the station to the undertaking establishment of Taylor & Co. The sad news was sent to all parts of the city. All day Tuesday scores of friends visited the home at 76 Wharf avenue and viewed the remains. The funeral services were conducted Wednesday at 2 o'clock at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, corner Eighth avenue, North, and Gay street, of which church he was a member and had held the position of elder for the past seven years. The services were impressive, Rev. Spencer Jackson officiating, assisted by Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of the Theological Department of Walden University, and Rev. R. H. Boyd. Dr. Jackson spoke on "Prepare to meet thy Good," from the book of Amos. The sermon was very instructive and forcibly delivered, taking up the life of the deceased, and admonishing young men to exemplify it, thereby profiting by the same. Dr. Hammond, as well as Dr. Boyd, made timely remarks. The employees of the Baptist Publishing House turned out in large numbers and furnished music for the occasion. A special choir was selected and Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney, assisted by Mr. L. S. Gray, conducted the musical program. The deceased was a member of Daman Lodge, No. 2, K. of P., which turned out for the funeral. The pall bearers were Messrs. S. P. Harris, J. O. Battle, Ernest McGuire, H. A. Boyd, R. L. Mayfield, Aaron Cockrill and S. Evans Shirley. After the services quite a number of friends followed the remains to Greenwood Cemetery. Upon arrival at the cemetery the burial services were performed under the auspices of Damon Lodge, K. of P. Mr. Flowers was an alumnus of Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C. He leaves a sorrowing widow in Nashville, a brother in Florida and relatives in North Carolina. DEATH OF ROBERT CHARTER. Mr. Robert Charter, the well-known contractor and builder of this city, died at his residence, Fourteenth avenue, North, the latter part of last week after a brief illness. Years ago Mr. Charter learned the carpenter's trade and followed that business for some time in Pulaski. He came to Nashville to work in the spring of 1891. Subsequently he moved his family here. Mr. Charter was considered to be a good mechanic. By close application to his daily labor and attending to business matters in a business-like way he succeeded in making a success of his profession. Mr. Charter in referring to the difference between the times of slavery days and the present, while in conversation with a Globe representative, not long ago, stated that he was in the 65th year of his age, but he really did not look more than 40 years old. He was a member of Mount Zion Baptist Church and also of Damon Lodge Knights of Pythias, and occupied a high position in the estimation of his friends and the public generally. Mr. Charter's wife, who had been an invalid for some sixteen years or more, died but a short time ago. The funeral services were held last Sunday at the church in which he worshipped for so many years, and was largely attended. IN HONOR OF DRS. CLARK AND BIGGEE. Mr. and Mrs. A. Watkins, of 443 Eighth avenue, North, entertained a few friends Monday at a six o'clock dinner in honor of Rev. Dr. C. H. Clark and Rev. C. P. M. Bigbee, of Kentucky. Among those seated at the table besides the two able divines were Rev. and Mrs. Spencer Jackson, Mrs. Genie B. Williams, Messrs. Drake and Patterson, "Mother" Mary Crockett and Miss M. Louise Greene, of Columbia. REV. DR. ISAAC IN FLORIDA. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, Secretary of the Baptist Young People's Union Board and editor of The National Baptist Union, is out of the city. He will be absent until about the middle of April. Most of his time will be spent in Florida in search of health and in the interest of his B. Y. P. U. work. While in the state of Florida he will attend the Florida Baptist State Convention, which meets April 4. HILARY E. HOWSE. 304-306 BROADWAY. BROS.

M. E. Church, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, When it was first announced that a Folk-Songs Cantata would be rendered at Fisk University, many were heard to express doubts as to the possibility of such an achievement. The like had never been attempted before. Thousands of Nashville's best citizens had enjoyed the sweet melodies echoed from the singers of jubilee songs, but this was a new undertaking. Some said it could not be done, but they went, however, and much to their surprise a real Cantata, artistically arranged, was presented to the delight of every one present. The news spread-like wild-fire, and a continuous demand was made for a second rendition. The Sunday-School of Mt. Olive Baptist Church perfected arrangements to have the second entertainment at their church. The night was bitter cold but a large crowd braved the weather, and packed the spacious auditorium until standing room was almost at a premium. But still the clamor continues, and in answer to the people Profs. Work and Work have consented to favor them with the third and last rendition this season. ADMISSION.

The large audience that attended the eleven o'clock services last Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church listened to a powerful sermon by the distinguished pastor, Rev. W. S. Ellington. His subject, "The Exaltation of Nations" was handled in a masterly way, from which he drew some very pointed and vivid illustrations for the edification of his hearers. He showed that righteousness exalteth a nation and pointed out instances to verify that scriptural declaration; and, on the other hand, he said that wickedness, overbearing arrogance and oppression had been the downfall of many kingdoms, empires and republics. Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome and many other governments, said he, whose past glory is but a memory and a name, went to pieces from internal moral decay and inhuman treatment of the weak and helpless of their fellowmen. In a word, Rev. Mr. Ellington left with his hearer some very practical thoughts, showing that God rewards individuals who work right righteousness as He exalteth righteous nations. Next Sunday, March 22, Rev. Mr. Carter will fill the pulpit at First Baptist Church. PIONEER CHURCHMAN. Continued from Page 1. ) He said, "You never hear the sun making any noise, but it is simply shining; so it was with this character before you to-day." He told of their association in the ministry and how he had always found the deceased to be a safe counsellor. Rev. Mr. Imes, pastor of Howard Congregational Church, said that he had not known Rev. McGavock long, but he had known him long enough to see in him a noble character, and what he had heard on that afternoon strengthened his conclusions. He told how beautifully Rev. McGavock repeated a line of a hymn as his dying testimony. The line referred to reads as follows: "Oh for a thousand tongues to sing." Prof. W. S. Thompson and Prof. Henry, Secretary and Grand Master respectively of the Masonic Order in Tennessee, each made brief remarks. BLIND SCHOOL CONCERT. Continued from Page 1.)

The birthday of Frederick Douglass was celebrated by the colored people of Indianopolis, Ind., with a big meeting under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The orator of the occasion was Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of Braden Bible Training School, Walden University and it is said that Tomlison Hall where the exercises were held, has seldom if ever been so crowded with the people of our race as it was when the scolarly Dr. Hammond spoke. The oration met with commendation from the press and likewise from the large audience present. One of the local papers has the following to say concerning the occasion and the speaker: "High tribute was paid Frederick Douglass, the great Negro orator, by E. W. S. Hammond, D. D., a speaker of ability, who addressed a monster meeting of the colored Y. M. C. A. held yesterday afternoon in Tomlinson Hall. The big hall was crowded with representative colored citizens, who heard the speaker with close attention and showed a keen appreciation of any sentiment voiced by the speaker on negro problems. On the platform were two bishops—Bishop John H. Vincent, of the Indianapolis diocese, Methodist Episcopal Church, and Bishop C. H. Phillips, of Nashville diocese, Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. The colored Y. M. C. A. orchestra played a number of popular and patriotic selections, and Secretary Thomas E. Taylor led the audience in song." "W. A. Kersey, president of the colored Y. M. C. A., introduced the speaker. 'We are assembled to-day,' said Mr. Hammond, 'to do honor to a man whose name will go down through the ages as a hero, in the sense that a man is a hero who exemplifies in his life the highest human attributes in the highest way. Frederick Douglass was born into the world at a crucial time in the history of his race, and the story of his rise from the lowliest beginning to a position as a national figure respected of all races is inspiring. "He was born in Maryland, as near as we know, on the 14th of February, 1817, though the date is uncertain. He was the best valentine the colored race ever received. His master was a man named Lloyd. When 11 years of age he was sold to a man in Baltimore, who put him to work in the ship yards. Here Douglass saw the ships come and go, and the men who worked upon them, and the contrast between their condition of freedom and his own condition of bondage so impressed him that he prayed and prayed to be free, until in his own words, 'The prayer got into my heels, and I found myself on board a ship bound for the land of the free.' "During the days of his slavery he learned to read, and in the North at an anti-slavery meeting in Nantucket he heard William Lloyd Garrison speak and found his life work mapped out. From that time on all he did formed part of the anti-slavery movement, and we find his name associated with such names as Wendell Phillips. Charles Sumner and John Greenleaf Whittier, all prominent in the abolition movement. The colored people can never repay the debt or be proud enough of this great representative of the race." EASTER PROGRAMS. The National Baptist Concert Quarterly Comes Out in the Form of Easter Greetings. From The National Baptist Union. The denomination has made such rapid strides towards advancement in this twentieth century civilization that it is impossible to expect them to accept anything for themselves or for their children in the way of literary work that is not the best—the best composed, the best constructed, containing the newest selections of poems and music, coming out in the neatest form. This was never more apparent than it is just now. The National Baptist Publishing Board being aware of this fact, has never attempted to give to the denomination anything but the best along this line. They have employed the best writers on theological work, as well as the best music composers and the best editors. A glance at their periodicals, at their newspapers, and at the National Baptist Concert Quarterly, will convince any one that these assertions are true. Special attention is invited to the Easter Greetings, which come out this year in three colors, having an extra high-class order of exercises, consisting of twenty-one numbers elegantly arranged. Every Sunday-school that desires to have special services for Easter will have an opportunity to get a specially prepared program which will assist in making Easter a success. The recitations are appropriate, the music of the very best. The selections in the music come mostly from the compositions of the late Prof. Wm. Rosborough, and Prof. J. H. Carter, the leading song writer now before the public. ANNOUNCEMENT. We will soon have from press a book of Poems, "MAZES AND PHASES AND DAISIES OF POETRY." By DAN HACKLEY WINSTON, Author of the Famous Book of Poems, "The Ethiopian: His Song," Etc. It is stated by critics, who carefully went over the manuscript, that this will surpass anything of its kind now on the market. Orders are now being solicited for delivery when ready. National Baptist Publishing Board. 523 Second Avenue, North. Nashville, Tenn. The entire volume is interesting from beginning to end. Mrs. Lula J. Boyd-Landers, who has been preparing these special programs for the past four years, has no doubt achieved her greatest success in the Easter Greetings just from the press. Orders are rapidly coming in from all over the country. The prices are forty cents per dozen, twenty-five copies for seventy-five cents; fifty copies for $1.25; one hundred copies for $2.00. Send all orders to the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., R. H. Boyd, Sec'y. *** MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY-SCHOOL Mt. Baptist Sunday-school was opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock by Superintendent Hurt. About 200 teachers, officers and pupils were present. A collection of more than $12 was raised. After song service the classes studied the lesson, "Jesus Heals the Man Born Blind," for thirty minutes, after which the lesson for the day was reviewed by Mr. Hurt. Rev. C. P. M. Bigbee, who is conducting the revival for the church, made a most interesting talk in which he told all of the spiritual healing they would receive by asking and believing on the Son of God. The superintendent made his farewell talk to the school, as he would leave on that night to spend his summer vacation in St. Louis. The school was also addressed by the pastor. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. C. M. P. Bigbee. Tuesday night the regular meeting of teachers and officers was held in the new Sunday-school room, which was recently fitted up for this purpose.

A DELIGHTFUL LEAP YEAR PARTY. An entertainment out of the ordinary line of social functions was the Leap Year Party given by the H. T. G. M. Club at the residence of Mrs. L. T. Lewis, 1305 Demonbreun street, last Friday evening. In true leap year fashion each member of the club escorted her company to the party and reversing the usual order of affairs, was the suitor in all features of the entertainment where partners were needed. The club lived up to its reputation as an entertainer in every respect and was the recipient of much praise for the appointments of the whole affair. Throughout the evening Roman punch was served. Immediately following the light luncheon which was served with ices as the clock was striking the hour of twelve, each gentleman guest was the recipient of an H. T. G. M. surprise package. Excellent music was discoursed throughout the evening. Those present were Mesdames Burgess, Hobbs, C. V. Roman, Misses Laura Polk, Bessie Martin, Nannie Sumner, Lula Polk, Willie Page, Georgia Bradford, JUST RING THE PHONE If you want either of the following: ONE DANCING HALL Well located.

SCHWARTZMAN. NASHVILLE, 4 Doors North of Cedar. TENNESSEE, SPORTING NEWS. | MAJOR TAYLOR DEFEATS Fae LER IN A HARD RACE. It took but two straight heats for Major Taylor to defeat Joe Fogler, of New York, at the Park Square cycle’ track, Saturday evening, February 29. Fogler, who has, recently risen from. the ranks to.one of the world’s great- est sprinters; was made to look like a novice by the veteran Taylor, In both the one mile and the half-mile heats that they rode Fogler alowed himself to be led into Taylor's own styie of riding and, after setting the pace for the colored whirlwind for the big- gest part of the heats, it was but play for the Major to suddenly jump him and alelghrfle for home a winner. If Fogler had penn after five laps had been covered: to slam out one of his characteristi¢ finishes the Major would probably never have had a chance to jump him, and Fogler would have won. Instead of that, Fogler, who was on the pole, took the lead at the start, riding in “French style,” and watch- ing every m@ve of his opponent. Tay- lor was content to trail until there were but three to go, when, with one of his lightning-like jumps he shot to the front an@ was never headed, in spite ot hard riding on Fogler’s part. Taylor won by over;a length in the slow time of 3 minutes 33-4 seconds. Tn the seeond heat, which was at one-half mile, Fogler again went to the front, with Taylor again right on his rear. Fogler set a little faster clip this heat, but not fast enough to pre- yent Taylor from jumping him with a lap and a half to go, and winning out by. an open length in 1 minute 113-4 seconds.—Boston Post, eee Eddie Graney wired Joe Gans last week, asking whether he would agree to stop Abe Attell in 20 rounds. Gans wired back “No,” “I wouldn't agree to stop any fel- low like Attell in 20 rounds,” said Joe. “It's the easiest thing in the world to stay away from a man in a limited bout, and it's the hardest job in the world to catch a fellow when you have to. “Why, if I shouldn’t stop him he'd claim the title, and there you are. The best I will do for any of them is to fight at 133 pounds, the winner to get the big end of the purse. T have five or six offers in my pocket now for fights, but there’s only one that I think T'll take. That's a 10-round go with Unholz at Los Angeles in May. They tell me all those sailors will be in the South then,j and this Unholz—honest, it's too.easy, to let go. “I can’t aceept any of the other of- fers until I get a little division thing fixed up. I have to go on the stand in a day or two and tell the story of my life. If I don’t go to the coop for 10 /years or so I’m going to start again pane get some more bacon.”—Tribune. eee | The A. M.

After spending about ten days in Pittsburg, Pa., where he went to at- tend the “Layman’s Missionary Move- ment of the World,” Dr. R. H. Boyd returned to the city Tuesday by way of Columbus, Ohio. He stated to a Globe reporter that it was the greatest missionary meeting he ever attended in his life, although he has been in active church work for thirty- five years, filling positions from pas- tor to his present accupation as sec: retary of the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board; but never before had he witnessed such a mixture of races, ‘denominations, religions and creeds at work in the interest of missions and for ‘the furtherance of the Gos: pel. He said men were there from everywhere and were entertained and listened to without discrimina tion. More than 5,000 delegates were in attendance. ‘The sessions were [held in the Exposition Hall at Pitts |burg three days and three nights, the /10th, 11th and 12th. He stated thai jhe regretted that three of the larges denominations among Negroes _weré |not represented, the C. M. E. Metho |dist, the Zion Methodist and the Af | rican Methodist. When asked why {nee were not represented, and i they were not doing missionary work he stated that he thought it was be- eatise they did not have, regular char= tered missionary boards recognized by the Government as the other de- nominations, but that all of their mission work - was probably done through their Bishops. On his re- turn trip he spent Saturday and Sun- day in Columbus, Ohio, speaking five times in order to carry out an elab- orate program prepared for the occa- sion by Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas, A large mass-meeting was held in the afternoon at which all of the Baptist churches of Columbus took a part. The climax was held at Bethany Chureh that night. =e THE MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL.
