ON A RAMPAGE State Republican Convention Goes at it Rough. EVIDENTLY SEE THE NEED OF NEW FURNITURE. BROWNLOW-OLIVER-AUSTIN MEN CAPTURE EVANS GUARD AND TAKE CHARGE OF HALL-APPEARED ON THE SCENE AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING—MR. EVANS' CROWD GIVEN A DOSE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE—THE FOXY BROWNLOW TURNS THE "TRAY AROUND"—MOST DISORDERLY CONVENTION. The National Committee will have to decide which of the Tennessee aggregation is regular and which is irregular—which are the bolters and which the orderly. No crowd of Negroes anywhere on earth, with one one-hundredth part of the intelligence, would have been guilty of precipitating such disorder as was seen in the legislative halls of the Tennessee State Capitol on Wednesday, March 25. There was an effort made to hold two republican state conventions at the same time in the same hall, which was entirely too small for one, and to have both chairmen occupy the same platform, the opposing sides being the Evans-Sanders-Hale and the Oliver-Brownlow-Austin factions, each side claiming the right. The determination of both factions to control was shown by the precautions of the former in laying plans and the shrewdness of the latter in capturing the whole convention and forcing the Evans-Sanders-Hale people out of the hall, not by main force, but by the superior generalship of their leaders and with some semblance of right on their side. There was fully an hour of the opening time spent in scrapping. The convention opened at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning in the historic old room of the lower house of the Tennessee Legislature, and a fight at once was begun. It was a fight in which hundreds participated from time to time; a genuine rough and tumble wild and wooly affair precipitated by the efforts of the Evans-Hale delegation to take charge of the rostrum already held by the Oliver-Austin-Brownlow wing. It should be stated just here that the Oliver hosts, who had come in on a special train from East Tennessee at an early hour Wednesday marched right straight to the hall of the House of Representatives and filled the big auditorium shortly after 6 o'clock. They had a key to the hall all right and marched in on the five unsuspecting Evans-Hale guards and took the room. They kept it and held it straight through until the hour for the convention and when the Evans-Hale delegates walked into the room at 10 o'clock the Oliver men were in the saddle. It was on the advent of the Evans followers that the rough house started. The appearance of Newell Sanders, Lillard and others on the speakers' stand was the signal for a general rough house. The Oliver men seemed to recover instantly from their surprise and they made a rush to get the Evans men off the speakers' stand and the rostrum as well. They made at Newell Sanders and at Lillard and grabbed arms, legs, throats, coats, feet, hands—anything that was visible and tangible and a terrible struggle took place that lasted for a time that seemed an age not only to those who participated, but even to on-lookers. At first the Evans men held their ground. Chairman Sanders, Marshal Duggan, Deputy Marshal McLain and other Evans men fought like demons. Collars and ties were torn off; men were smashed in the face, beat over the head, kicked in the sides and stomach; some were picked up bodily and thrown off the top of the speaker's stand out into the surging mass below. One man almost got a gun out of his pocket on two occasions. Another man rushed around the hall with a hatchet he had pulled out of his back pocket. Presently the Evans men began to weaken perceptibly. They were exhausted by their struggles, for fresh recruits from the Oliver forces made at them all the while and no new Evans reinforcements could get to the assistance of their men. Newell Sanders seemed to be the object of attack. It was anything to put him down. With disheveled hair, a face as pale as death, his collar and tie torn and his clothes generally disarranged, he tried to fight them off, as did his lieutenants, but to no avail. The Oliver men, who were also fighting like demons and whose watchword had all along been, "We'll hold the hall against Evans, Hale and all hell," renewed their rushes with redoubled fury. They grabbed Deputy Marshal McLain and rushed him off the platform. Others seized big Jim Duggan and pinioned his arms by sheer force of strength and number and Jim, too, went the way of McClain, off the platform out into the surging masses. Other men who were supporting Chairman Sanders were disposed of likewise. Sam Sells, Chairman of the Alf. Taylor bolting delegation in East Tennessee, had been helping to hold up Chairman Sanders. He was thrown off and some one hit him with a chair and a good many licks were passed at him as he was down. Welsenberg, of Memphis, who had Newell Sanders by the feet helping to support him, was also got out of the way and then it came Mr. Sanders' turn. The Oliver men had been after him all the while but his lieutenants up to this time had succeeded in fighting them off. With his reinforcements gone Mr. Sanders fell a victim to the attacking army. The cries of "Thrown him off; throw him off" that had resounded through the hall and which emanated from the throats of hundred of Oliver-Brownlow-Austin men, were followed by a physical "throwing-him-off." H. M. Cox, of Morristown, made a rush at Newell Sanders and got him by the throat with both his brawny hands. Then he bore the Evans leader down off the east side of the rostrum out into the surging mass. He seemed to tighten his hold all the while and it was seen that he was punishing Mr. Sanders severely. The latter began to choke and turn paler still and there were cries of "Don't kill him, for God's sake" from the Evans men while the Oliver fighters as lustily cried "Take the — out on the other side." J. W. Brooks, another East Tennessee, was helping H. M. Cox in disposing of the Chairman. Mr. Sanders was hustled out behind the rostrum to fresh air and seemed to be in a bad way. He was exhausted from the punishment he had received and was pale and weak as well. About this time a squad of police reached the scene, and they took charge of the rostrum. Contrary to the expectations of the Evans men, the policemen did not attempt to decide which faction was entitled to possession of the rostrum, but announced that they had come to preserve order. The Evans men earlier in the morning had confidently expected that the police would recognize them as the ones to take charge and would clear the hall of the Oliver men. The meeting then seemed to resolve itself into a confused gathering with two sides trying to hold a convention at the same time and in the same place. Just as much confusion reigned as ever save for the fact that the cops had stopped the fighting. The Oliver men at this time seemed to have the better of the situation and the Evans men were up in the air. The Oliver people went on and transacted their business. The first speech was made by John Peav, of LaFollette, and amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm. Responding to the call for him, W. J. Oliver ascended the platform and aroused the enthusiasm of the audience with a red-hot speech. He declared that any free man permitted to stand before that audience ought to be proud of the honor, and proud that that he is an American citizen. He declared that he would not have any office in the gift of the government that paid a dollar. He was fighting for principle and wore the collar of noor Brownlow could boss him. He spoke of the decrease of the republican vote in Tennessee and declared that it was due to Federal officeholders who boss. He declared that Hale, Evans wanted the vote smaller, because than 100,000. He urged every man in eighty votes were easier to control the hall to stand by his principles and not to leave the hall. "We are going to stay here," he said, "like we did in Knox County till we win. We are in the majority and are going to assert our rights. In a few minutes a tall majestic form will enter that door, a halo around his head—Nathan Hale—and we are expected to bow down to him. Will we do it?" "No (Continued on Page 6.) ALL BOARDS REPRESENTED MEETING CHANGED FROM NEW YORK—LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, WINS OVER NEW ORLEANS BY FOUR VOTES — CHAUTAUQUA HALL, ONE OF THE LARGEST IN AMERICA, OFFERED FOR THE SESSIONS OF THE CONVENTION CHOICE OF MEETING PLACE MADE NECESSARY BY NEW YORK'S WITHDRAWAL. The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention disposed of an important question at its meeting Thursday morning, March 26. The meeting was called to order by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., who is President of the National Baptist Convention. The large attendance that was expected did not materialize, although some noted men were present, and quite a discussion and a lively debate over the proper place for holding the 1908 session took place. After considerable deliberation Lexington, Ky., was selected by a vote of 13 to 9 as the place for the next Convention. The proposition of the supporters of Lexington that appealed to the committee was that the convention would be held in Chautauqua Hall, one of the largest in the country, free of charge, and that the citizens would donate the sum of $500 towards the expenses of the meeting. When the vote was anounced a motion was made to make the selection of Lexington unanimous which was accordingly done. The cities that were in the race were as follows: Kansas City, Mo.; Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Savannah, Ga.; Boston, Mass.; Louisville, Ky.; Lexington, Ky.; New Orleans, La.; Indianapolis, Ind., and Nashville, Tenn. Up to the convening of the meeting the Nashville supporters were almost confident that they had a majority of the votes in the committee. But Savannah sent in a strong request signed by a committee of ten representing the Ministers' Union of that city, with a set of resolutions setting forth why the 1908 session should be called there. They declared that Savannah is practically the birthplace of the Negro Baptists in America and that in its city stands the first building ever erected for the exclusive use of any Negro denomination in the United States. It is known as the First African Baptist Church. The corner-stone in the church shows that it is one hundred and thirty-five years old. This, as well as other forcible arguments, was urged by Savannah. Kentucky, of course, united its forces in favor of Louisville, and then changed to Lexington. Then Nashville saw that it was impossible to capture the convention, the Tennessee delegation, assisted by Arkansas and Alabama, joined the Kentucky forces in favor of Lexington, leaving Boston and Indianapolis with practically no support. The supporters of Savannah were contented with the promise that at another more opportune time they would have an opportunity to entertain the convention Among those present with their respective positions and Boards were the following: Rev. F. C. Morris D. D. Helena, Ark. President of the National Bantist Convention: Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala. Secretary of the National Bantist Convention; Prof. T. O. Fuller, Memphis Tenn. Assistant Secretary of the National Bantist Convention: Rev. Robt Mitchell, D. D. Bowling Green, Ky. Auditor: Rev. T. I. Searcy, D. D. Memphis, Tenn. Vice President of the National Convention; Rev. W. J. McMichael, D. D. Memphis, Tenn. Member of Home Mission Board: Rev. W. W. Whitton, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. I. P. Robinson D. D. Little Rock Ark. Chairman of the Home Mission Board; Rev. R. M. Caver, Little Rock, Ark., Superin tendent of Missions; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., Chairman of the Publishing Board; Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., Louisville, Ky., Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board; Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of the Publishing Board; Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., Mound Bayou, Miss., Secretary of the Ministers' Benefit Association Board; Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D., Chicago, Ill., Member of Publishing Board; Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A., Nashville, Tenn., Editorial Secretary; Rev. Thomas W. Cook, Dixon, Tenn.; Rev. J. C. Lott, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. T. J. Townsend, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., Publishing Board; Rev. G. B. Taylor, Nashville, Tenn., Publishing Board; Prof. J. W. Johnson, Nashville, Tenn., President of Roger Williams University; Rev. E. M. Lawrence, Nashville, Educational Board; H. A. Boyd, Nashville, Publishing Board. Telegrams and letters were pouring in all the morning from various members and officers expressing their inability to be present giving their proxy to other members. Dr. Morris stated that with the proxies in hand a full representation of the Boards and the officers of the Convention were present. There was a distinguished gathering of divines and laymen of the National Baptist Convention in session in this city yesterday, they came from all parts of the United States in response to a call by the President of the National Baptist Convention for the purpose of deciding where its 1908 session will be held. These actions were necessary on the account of New York City withdrawing its invitation to entertain this great body of Baptists in their next annual convention which was to have been held at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in September. NANCE DIXON'S ABLE DEFENSE. There have been some warm times in politics in and around Davidson county during the past week. The meeting of the State Executive Committee, which was held on Tuesday prior to the opening of the State Convention and which had for its consideration several contests from various counties, will be remembered for years to come, and the masterly speech and the eloquent appeal made before it by Mr. Nance Dixon, of Clarksville, Tenn., who is the only member of the State Executive Committee—in fact, he is all there is that the Negro can claim to the state's machine of the party. Some one had made a slight remark—as is customary when these meetings are called in the big hotels—about Dixon being in the meeting. Already incensed over the treatment of the last visit some weeks ago, he took occasion this time to silence the guns of some of the moguls amid a scene equaled only by that of the late Norris Wright Cuney, of Texas, when he was defending his cause before the National Committee in St. Louis in 1896. Dixon flew at his would-be critics and challenged the admiration of the entire committee. He is the republican leader of Montgomery county, and was only recently elected a member of the City Council of Clarksville by a large majority. In his speech Mr. Dixon defended his color and the race, its honesty and devotion to the G. O. P. in picturesque style. He waved his arms and shook his fists in true oratorical fashion, shouted his words in a loud voice and held the Committee spellbound for a few minutes. Mr. Dixon is the committeeman from the Sixth district. A telegram was received in Nashville Sunday morning announcing the death of Mrs. Lizzie Burrell who was the wife of Rev. J. L. Burrell, D. D., pastor of the Progress Baptist Church, at their residence, 2809 Milan street, New Orleans, La. Mrs. Burrell had a host of friends in Nashville. She was here during the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, which held its first annual session in the Spruce Street Baptist Church in 1906. While here she was the guest of Mrs. A. B. Carter, of Gay street. The funeral services, according to telegraphic information, were held Tuesday. The deceased was one of national reputation. Having been born and reared in New Orleans she finished from the best schools of the city and was an untiring church worker being personally, acquainted with the work of all denominations in the "Crescent City." She leaves a husband, mother and father, with sorrowing friends throughout the United States, to mourn her loss. DESIRE THAT HE BE DISCHARGED FROM SERVICE—BEST INTEREST OF DEPARTMENT DEMANDS IT—HAS CAUSED TROUBLE WHEREVER LOCATED—DAILY PAPER COLORS SITUATION—COMPANY WILL NOT BE DISBANDED—THE GUILTY CAN BE SEPARATED FROM THE INNOCENT—CITY OFFICIALS KNOW HOW TO METE OUT JUSTICE. The attempt of a reporter of one of the daily papers of this city to create sentiment against the colored fire company in East Nashville has fallen flat, and these heroes of many perilous battles in the interest of the people are still recognized as men of valor and as honest as their reputations have shown them to be. The American of Sunday morning had the following to say: "Charges will be preferred by Chief Rozetta against two Negro firemen within the next few days the charges being based upon statements made by Hugh F. Smith who lives 937 Russell street. The two firemen, Wallace and Silvers, of Engine Company No. 4, in East Nashville, will be charged with having tempted to extort money from Mr. Smith for alleged services rendered at a fire at his house a few days ago. The charges have not been preferred as yet, but will be within the next few days and probably Monday. Mayor Brown has been informed of the allegations made by Mr. Smith in regard to the two men, and he will call the Civil Service Commission to meet as soon as he has received the charges. If the papers in the case are received Monday, the trial will be called for the following Monday. The law requires the intervention of five days between the filing of charges and the trial. Mayor Brown usually allows seven days to intervene. "Mr. Smith states that the fire was extinguished before the firemen arrived on the scene. Silvers is said to have come to him first. He did not demand any money, but paved the way for his partner to do so. The men, it is alleged, claimed to have been very careful of the property after the fire, stating that by being careless with the water, etc., the furniture would have been greatly damaged. Wallace, it is alleged, then demanded $4. When Mr. Smith questioned him very closely he is said to have retracted his demand for money and changed it to a request for a loan of $4. It is not known what effect such an action as this, in case these men are proved guilty, will have upon the Board of Public Works in removing the Negro company from the department. There was some agitation along this line some time ago, but it was stated at the time that the people of that section of the city were anxious that the company be retained, and in accord with their wishes no action leading to their removal was taken." The Negroes of Nashville are universally of the opinion that the city officials owe it to forty thousand black citizens and to every citizen of this municipality to rid the fire department of this trouble-making character, William Silvers. On every hand can be heard discussed the record of this individual. When he was sent to the College street Chemical Company it was running in smooth order, but it was only a short time before trouble was brewing, and following in close succession came the announcement that a white man had to be put in charge to keep matters quiet. The next move was to make that company half white and half colored; and then came a transfer of Silvers to the Woodland street company. From that day until the announcement last Sunday the people have been restless and the news was not a surprise. The question hardest SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 3:30 O'CLOCK. April 5, '0 DR. C. V. ROMAN, M.

Jones, the pastor of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, for the last few weeks has been earnestly contending for the prevalence of the "Home Coming" idea among the members of his church. He stated last Sunday that much lasting good can be done for the Christian cause if men and women would for a few weeks turn their study to themselves rather than their fellow-man. He said, "The idea of studying the other fellow obtains too generally in the lives of well-meaning Christians. Let everybody study themselves for a few weeks and watch the results." Rev. Mr. Jones will preach next Sunday morning on "Beam Hunting," and on the first Sunday in April he will preach on "Mote Hunting." --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1908 FRANKLIN NOTES. The V.

Evans Tyree, Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, spoke to the pupils of this school on last Tuesday. Your reporter would simply consume time and space were he to attempt to write anything by way of introduction of the good Bishop to the readers of The Globe. Everybody knows Bishop Tyree, and to know him is to love him. His early struggle for an education, his battle against poverty, his rise, step by step, until he reached the highest office in the gift of his church are facts well known to all his acquaintances. The Bishop has a warm heart, a genial disposition and a hearty hand-shake for all his friends. In manners, he is a perfect Chesterfield; in eloquence, a Talmage; in diction, a McCauley. The speaker compared the building of character to the construction of a building. He said that if he were going to erect a building, the first thing he would do would be to make the excavation for the foundation. He would dig down until he struck solid rock and then way down beneath the earth he would begin to lay the stones for his foundation. He would see to it that nothing but good stone was used in the foundation and that the workmen were the best. Then before he began his superstructure, he would place the four corners. The laying of the cornerstone in any structure is an important matter. He would see that they were straight and plumb. He would take care that the building had plenty of doors and windows and that the cellings were high in order that the health and comfort of the inmates might be conserved. And last, he would order the roof put on. He would see that the very best material went into the roof, whether slate, tile, or tin, because a leaky roof would damage the building and injure the health of the occupants. With this as a preface, Bishop Tyree entered upon his subject of character-building. He took as his four cornerstones, Truth, Obedience, Industry and Politeness. He enlarged upon each one and showed the importance of each as a factor in building character. The great divine waxed eloquent as he proceeded and his climax was grand. The address was interspersed with apt illustrations and suitable anecdotes, which made clear and clinched every point the speaker was trying to make. At the conclusion of the address, he was given a deafening applause and rising vote of thanks. The good Bishop visited many of the classrooms, remained a while in each and expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the work. He spoke in the highest terms of the worth of the Faculty, and congratulated the children upon having a Faculty of such efficiency. Prof. F. G. Smith has received several copies of music from White-Smith Music Publishing Co., of Chicago, which the organist is running over with a few select voices. The selection sent by Lorenz Bros., of Dayton, Ohio, proved to be very fine. Prof. H. C. Weber allows Prof. Smith to spend each Commencement from $12 to $15 for music, and the music publishers send him the very best. The music this year will be fully up to the standard. Thus far "Wake with the Lark," "Over the Hills at Break of Day," "Over the Meadows Fair" and "Up-to-Date Medley," all by Adam Geibel, seem to be the choice of the Principal, organist and pupils. These are music gems. Mr. H. W. Randals, of Clarksville, Tenn., a popular mail carrier of that city, paid us a visit on Tuesday. ENJOYABLE AFTERNOON.

The Order of Knights of Pythias, which is one of the strongest and most progressive fraternal societies operating in the country, has purchased at Hot Springs, Ark., a building which will be known as "The Pythian Sanitarium." It is the intention of the Order to fit up the place, which is prominently and conveniently located, so that members of the race visiting this resort, irrespective of whether or not they belong to the Order, may have a suitable place to stay, with baths in connection with the building. Heretofore persons taking the baths have been as a rule, compelled to board at one place and bathe at another, oftentimes causing a deal of inconvenience. The Sunreme Lodge of the Order decided at a meeting several years ago that each member he assessed a small tax annually for the purchase of a Temple and Sanitarium. From this fund so raised a building said to be worth several hundred thousand dollars has been purchased in Chicago and the orders of the Sunreme body have been compiled with in full by the purchase of the Sanitarium in Hot Springs.

A JUST REBUKE. The rough house scene enacted at the state capitol Wednesday, when the republican state convention was called to order, was no more than what was to have been expected when the tactics pursued in the election of delegates are taken into consideration. The Globe, unruffled by the wild, turbulent scene, is in a position to say, "We told you so." Long before the state convention we denounced the trickery by which a few men were calling snap conventions and selecting and instructing county delegations. We denounced in unmistakable terms the chicanery by which a packed state committee passed a retroactive resolution to make regular the delegates selected by the committee long before any call had been issued for a state convention. We objected to the method being used by the federal office-holders to stifle the will of the majority as to whether delegates would go up uninstructed and warned the powers that be that a day of retribution was coming. It would seem that "slick" politics has been met by "slicker" politics, and the men who have countenanced all this trickery in order to carry their points have been given a dose of their own medicine. The convention split into two factional conventions, but that of the Oliver faction has many of the points of regularity in its favor. This faction held its convention at the appointed time and at the appointed place. The old state committee that had made all the arrangements for the convention was present and, if it did not direct the affairs of the body, at least contributed to the turmoil. The split and the rough actions are to be deplored, but like the lightning and thunder of a rainstorm, they improve the surrounding atmosphere. These hardy mountaineers from East Tennessee who are republicans from principle, who vote for the Grand Old Party without the expectation of any other reward than that to be derived from the enforcement of republican principles, have shown that they who form the majority of the party in the state will not be robbed of their rights by designing politicians and federal officeholders. While the Convention is split wide open there is no need of the party going into the next political battle with the democrats nor to the National Convention divided if Mr. Oliver's plans are accepted. He proposes a legal and primary, the expenses to be paid by himself, which shall decide all of the question at issue and besides nominate a candidate for governor. The plan is the epitome of fairness. There is no denying that the party has not expressed its wishes in most of the county conventions. It is nothing but right that a chance should be given the rank and file to register its will and thereby kill forever and a day the miserable boss rule and trickery which led to the uproar Wednesday. No matter what the outcome of the split, we feel gratified that snap conventions manipulated by packed committees have been rebuked; that the effort of federal office-holders to force upon the delegates at large from the state the incubus of cast-iron instructions has failed; that a force has been set in motion looking to the direct nomination of all candidates by the people, and that out of the darkness of boss rule there has come a man who wants no federal office and is determined that the party in this state shall be something more than an exaggerated appetite for federal pie. LILY-WHITEISM. Some years ago a "jim crow" car law was passed by the Legislature of Tennessee. This law was passed at a time when the Negro was more active in the politics of the state than he is at present. This law, it was claimed, was not aimed at the self-respecting Negroes, but at the "riff-raff," who respected neither themselves nor anyone else. Those of the race who were able to do so in order to avoid inferior accommodations, used the Pullman cars. The wedge though had been entered and under the administration of the then Gov. James Frazier, now United States Senator from this state, and upon his complaint, the railroad commission ordered that even "decent" Negroes should not be permitted the use of sleepers. Tennessee of a truth then became a real "jim crow car" state. In the selection of delegates to the various county and district republican conventions, especially of Middle Tennessee, the thought of how to get rid of the "irresponsible voter," how to keep the "venal" Negro voter from registering his will in the primaries seems to have been the one paramount issue with some members of the party. Their highest ambition was to get rid of the "riff-raff" colored vote that as they maintained "would not stay bought." Their desires, it would seem, have been accomplished in that the naming and instructing of delegates in some counties and districts was left entirely in the hands of those who, according to their professions, would raise the morale of the party in the state. "Decent" colored men, too, aided in bringing about such a condition. From Covington comes the report that a club with a large membership, composed exclusively of "lily whites," has been organized. One of the first acts of the club was to endorse practically the same ticket as has been promulgated by the apostles of decency in other counties. What does this mean? Is it a warning to those "decent" colored men that following the plans of the "jim crow" car, "lily-whiteism" will be in the saddle as soon as the "riff-raff" has been squelched, and then these "decent" men will be relegated to a position where they can neither be seen nor heard? Does it mean that when these "decent" colored politicians have been completely estranged from the masses of the people and there is no possible chance of reconciliation that these "decent" politicians will be handed a "lily-white" lemon? We have observed that almost every movement directed against the race begins with a war upon the vicious and finally ends by including every member of the race, no matter what his qualifications, nor his reputation. Flausible theories about the "jim crow" laws not being designed to reach the self-respecting Negro may sound very nice, but if a self-respecting person of the race gets on a car he must take the same fare as the most dissolute member of the "riff-raff." This "jim crow" car should be a warning to the members of the race who are so ready to cut themselves apart from the masses of the race in their search for the chimera of "decency." THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1929 is nomi- t. The s. There has not of the living but be giv- its will a day trickery tuesday. e of the nap con- ced com- that the to force POWER OF NEGRO VOTE. Whenever the question is raised as to whether the Negro needs the ballot, whether his use of the ballot will be of service to him in bringing about fair play, he needs but point to Brownsville and the effect of the dis- satisfaction of the colored voter upon Roosevelt and the republican party. To begin with, Mr. Roosevelt, whether from pure motives or otherwise we will not attempt to say, endorsed in toto the report of Gen. Garlington and ordered that the troops be dismissed without honor and forever debarred from any government service. Never before in the history of the American Negro was there such united opposition upon any given subject. For once, all factionalism in the race disappeared. This united opposition has been felt and Mr. Roosevelt has been gradually retreating from the position he assumed when on board a man-of-war he ordered Secretary Taft, who had held up the order, to proceed with the dismissal of the black battalion. From the withdrawal of the clause debarring the men from future employment to his request for permission to reinstate those who can prove themselves innocent, the retreat has not been precipitate. It has been simply a gradual withdrawal under the protection of democratic guns. The power of the Negro voters of the Northern states and those states bordering upon the Mason and Dixon line has brought about this result. It is now reported that the Shipp case of Chattanooga will be reopened, as the government, by accident, has discovered two or three eye-witnesses who have not testified. These new witnesses, it is reported, claim to have recognized several of Capt. Shipp's deputy sheriffs as participants in the mob. There is little prospect, it appears, that the Supreme Court will ever do anything in the lifetime of Mr. investigation have not been entirely lost upon this section. The best that can be hoped for is that when Capt-Shipp, though the good effects of the Shipp and all of his deputies have passed to the Great Beyond the supreme tribunal will hand in a verdict convicting the men of contempt. Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, is ill at his home in that state. It is doubtful if there are ten Negroes in the world who would be sorry even it Ben should pass away. The Negro delegate was very much in evidence at the state convention and made as much of a reputation for fighting with chairs as did the other delegates. COMMUNICATION.

Tuesday, January 17, 1905, is a right never to be forgotten by those of us who, after the pitiful little that we could do had been done, stood helplessly by and with the horror of it linking deeper and deeper into the hearts of us, watched the northwest wind carry away in ashes all but the skeleton of Centennial Hall—to see the "games sweep from one window to another," to know that the dormitory was going, the chapel, then the dining-hall; to hear the crash of falling D.

We remember how only a few hours before it had stood safe and solemn amidst the trees. We kept saying to ourselves, "It can't be true," lest we should come to realize the awfulness of the truth. Even now there is somewhere within us a feeling of loss and desolation and emptiness, and whence it comes, or wherefore, we do not know, till when the west is red and a glory hangs on the hills we kept our eyes for the sight we loved, and ruins stare back at us. The something that we loved, with a love that we hardly understood, is gone and now we understand far better when we have only memories. But now is not a time of lamentations, and besides that our grief is sacred—almost ineffable. Let memory hold veiled the picture of the old lest we lose the courage we need for the construction of the new. All the spirit of Roger Williams, which was awakened to new life when the first smoke cloud from the burning building rolled away toward the south, was the real content of the corner-stone for a new and greater Roger Williams. We must prove to the world and to ourselves that we are worthy children of our Alma Mater—that our emotions were not called forth in the first hour of her affliction to subside before the task of alleviating it. We must realize that Roger Williams restored by the efforts of those whom she nurtured will embody more completely the dear associations of the old and mean more to those who come after us than the monuments of those who built "Old Roger." That unaided we could replace the loss the beloved University suffered is too much to hope; rather let us pray that the example of our devotion to Roger Williams and the realization of what she means to those who have enjoyed her benefits may inspire a deep interest not only in the people of Nashville, who have shown already so practically their sympathy, but also in others who could well render immediate and efficient assistance, and who could find no worthier object upon which to bestow their benevolence. In the matter of contribution none of us should feel obligated to give anything, but all of us should desire to give as much as we are able, and do it promptly. The sooner we can recuperate and fill the empty chambers of our hearts with a new form, the less keen will be our sense of loss. Not only is financial co-operation necessary but we must think Roger Williams and talk Roger Williams and live Roger Williams as we have never before, and our loyalty and enthusiasm will have to be contagious. Here's to Roger Williams—may she rise from her fall glorified! C. EUGENE ALLEN, R. W. U. Acd., '03. A. B. C. Col. '07.

YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB On Monday, March 9 the members of the Young Men's Literary Club assembled at the residence of Mr. Lee Kinzer. The attendance was fair and much important business transacted. The club has been impeded to some extent by the absence of the assistant secretary and reporter, Mr. Ernest Alexander, who has been unavoidably absent on account of having received a very painful accident, but he is now convalescent. Refreshments were served. Owing to the pressure of business there was no programme rendered, but at the next meeting the following will be rendered: Address—"Good Morals and General Culture," by the Vice President, Mr. J. A. Galloway. Essay—"Application of Books to Daily Life," by Mr. L. Hockett. Address—"Fraternity and Achievement," by the President, Mr. E. Lee Kinzer. The National Baptist Concert Quarterly Comes Out in the Form of Easter Greetings. 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 Proof, Wm Rosborough, and Prof. J. H. Carter the leading song writer now before the public. NASHVILLE. TENN. EASTER PROGRAMS. HOWSE FURNITURE, STOVES HOWSE BROS. FURNITURE. STOVES AND CARPETS TERMS TO SUIT EVERYBODY.

The penal colony of the State of Fernandhuco, Brazil, is on an island 300 miles off the coast. There are 600 convicts at present. They arise at 6 a.m. and the work till 2 p.m. for the State, cultivating cotton of a superfine quality. After 2 o'clock they work for themselves. The island is one of the most orderly and productive bits of soil in Brazil. It is a model convict colony and the cheapest run of any in the world. The group of islands to which the penal one belongs is where the equatorial and south equatorial currents divide, and it is surrounded by a triangular sheet of quiet sea full of all kinds of fish valuable commercially.

AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION OF THE ONLY ORIGINAL AMERICAN MUSIC AT St. John A. 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.

"And on this platform one Newell Sanders from Chattanooga, with a halter around his neck, will take his stand." He closed his speech with the statement that the republican party in Tennessee would show material gains if the republicans had a respectable organization. John Houk was the next speaker and opened with the statement that the question is, Shall the people or the Federal officeholders rule? He declared that the State Committee had sought with premeditated and deliberate plans to rob the people of their sacred rights, "Are you going to let them do it?" he asked and cries of no, never, were heard from all parts of the hall. He, too, spoke of being locked out of the hall and said that he had appealed to his good democratic friends and had been given a key with which to unlock the doors. He spoke of Old Hickory and in dramatic terms eulogized him and pointing to his picture on the wall called on the delegates to hold the hall against all comers. "The hall is ours," he said, "and any attempt to put us out will be promptly met. We have a right here and we are going to stay." J. J. Jennings, of Jellico, spoke next, saying: "We came here with credentials from our masters, the people. We are here by the sovereign power and not by the authority of a committee which has tried to rob us. No man has ever successfully defied the people and never will. This Executive Committee is a trustee of the people, but when they have forgotten that fact we are no longer bound by that committee. Tennessee is republican by rights but it will never be in the republican column so long as selfish politicians dictate party policies. There is no sense in a man talking about harmony when he is boating you over the head with a club. This cry of harmony reminds me of the Arab in the desert who, meeting another, greets him kindly and at the same time sticks a knife into some vital part. We could have harmony if we would let the Evans-Hale-Sanders faction take the state and put a fence around it. But we don't want harmony at that price. It would be at the cost of independence and manhood. On what has this man Hale fed that he has waved so fat? Oliver beat him in his own district and we are going to bury him in the notter's field of politics and then hold a postmortem examination." It was getting along towards the hour set for the opening of the con- vention and the audience was requested to come up close. They crowded around the speaker's stand and the Union County delegates sang campaign songs which brought down the house. A number of other speeches were made along the same lines occupying the time until 10 o'clock. The Oliver crowd organized their convention by the election of State Senator W. I. Davis, of Claiborne County, as chairman, and immediately got down to business in a greatly confused and disorderly manner. The following were elected delegates from the state at large to the National Republican Convention which meets in Chicago in June; Daniel Cooper Swab, of Claiborne County; Jesse L. Rogers, of Knox County; H. C. Anderson, of Shelby County; Jesse M. Littleton, of Franklin County. The following were elected as alternates: R. D. Hopkins, of Columbia; F. A. Rhat, of Tullahoma; A. G. Matthews, of Memphis; W. H. Taylor, of Jefferson County. Two electors from the state at large were elected as follows: F. A. Lancaster, of Lexington, Ramon B. Harrison, of Knoxville. Hon. Ernest Coldwell, of Shelbyville, was nominated for Supreme Judge; Messrs. W. B. Miller, of Chattanooga, and B. E. Robinson, of Sparta, were nominated for Judges of the Court of Civil Appeals. Hon. W. J. Oliver was enthusiastically endorsed for National Committee from Tennessee. The convention then proceeded to resolute. This was done in an informal manner, all actions taken being upon verbal motion and no regular set of resolutions being reported from a committee. The convention commended Taft, Hughes, Fairbanks, Cannon and Foraker, making no specific endorsement for President. The policies of President Roosevelt were endorsed and three cheers were given for the President. The "pernicious activity of Federal office holders" was strongly condemned. A resolution was adopted favoring a legalized primary for the nomination of a candidate for Governor. The State Republican Executive Committee was condemned for its action in preparing a temporary roll call of the convention "when our seats were in contest." The convention adopted a resolution providing that the delegates to the national convention, both from the state-state ge and from each of the congressional districts in the state, shall submit their claims as delegates to a le 15 CENTS.

The convention ordered that the Executive Committee to be named by this convention propose to the committee representing the other side that there be a joint legalized primary, the winning side to be declared as having been elected. It was also resolved that the election of electors be submitted to a primary. After these resolutions has been adopted, the roll of all the counties was called and at the conclusion of this call, it was announced that the action of the convention had been ratified by a vote of 479 ayes to 76 noes. The following new State Executive Committee was elected by the Oliver convention: First District—W. I. Davis, Ross Bachman. Second District—H. B. Linsley, J. C. Houk. Third District—W. B. Miller, Blake Cooper. Fourth District—J. M. Morris, W. J. Lowrey. Fifth District—F. J. Rhat, Jesse Davenport. Sixth District—W. F. Copeland, Henry Hughes. Eighth District—T. A. Lancaster, Ike Dickey. Ninth District—J. C. Burdrick, D. Lovelace. Tenth District—H. B. Anderson, H. C. Fields. This about completed the business of the Oliver-Brownlow-Austin convention, but the adherents of this faction were in no hurry to adjourn. "We can stay as long as you can," and similar expressions, were heard on all sides. There was good order, however, comparatively speaking. Hon. Jesse M. Littleton was called for and took the stand. He said in part: "If there is one thing more certain than another, it is that the republican party of Tennessee is in open rebellion against bossism. The republicans of East Tennessee, who made the party what it is in Tennessee, came with the determination that the voice of the people shall be expressed in this convention for W. J. Oliver." Here the speaker was interrupted with shouts of derision from the opposition forces. He tried several times to proceed, but without success. After a while Mr. Lee Brock took the stand beside Mr. Littleton and said he did not agree with Mr. Littleton, but that the republicans present wanted to transact business. He urged that Mr. Littleton be heard. Finally Mr. Littleton continued. He declared that the republicans will never defeat the Democratic party until the former adopt a platform for a primary. He declared that he would go as far as anyone to make peace with Sanders and the others. Mr. W. J. Hart, of Johnson City, took the stand and declared that the republicans were acting like fools. He tried to speak further, but no one could hear him for the noise around and about the hall. Mr. W. J. Oliver, from his elevated position, referred to Chairman Sanders, who still held his position on the Speaker's rostrum, as the "boss who was holding a convention with four section hands, endorsing Roosevelt." During these dilatory proceedings the same determination to rule was apparent on the faces of the leaders on both sides. For the most part the majority of the delegates had become good-natured by this time, but there was a considerable amount of feeling manifested from time to time. At 1:40 o'clock the Oliver delegates were left in undisturbed possession of the convention and for the first time during the morning some semblance of order was restored. The Evans-Hale-Sanders faction did not leave the hall until they had effected a temporary organization. During a hull in the uproar. Hon. J. H. Early, of Chattanooga. Temporary Chairman, selected by the State Executive Committee, stood upon the speaker's desk and proceeded to business for his faction, the opposition amusing themselves with cheering for Roosevelt, Taft, Oliver, Austin, Taylor and others. In spite of the confusion a committee was selected on credentials and a meeting was scheduled for 2 o'clock in the Tulane assembly room. Counties with contests were notified to be present and present their claims. The Sanders party then adorned until 10 o'clock Wednesday. SEEN AND HEARD AT THE STATE CONVENTION. Shelby County came over with its usual large and very jovial delegation, among whom were some well known business men. *** There was a man (white) in the convention beastly drunk, almost crazy, trying to hurrah for Hale. It is said he is J. Irving, the postmaster at Emery Gap, Tenn., one of the Hale appointees. *** T. H. Hayes, the big undertaker and politician from Memphis, took things easy during the mix-up at the capitol. He still holds his own in Shelby County. Dr. Bryant came out even in his one round chair scrap with an Evans man ANNOUNCEMENT. We will soon have from press a book of Poems, "MAZES AND PHASES AND DAISIES OF POETRY." By DAN HACKLEY WINST N.

Both struck at each other with chairs, both missed, both were shoved down on the floor, both were picked up, both got pulled and put out of the hall, and each left the city a half eagle for the fun they furnished for the gallery. Haywood County was much in evidence with its large Negro delegation, among whom were the well-known business man, Mr. John Bond, of Brownsville, his brother and several others from the same town.

They played well, looked good, and showed some manhood when Dr. Bryant was assaulted in the Convention. They came out to a man, refusing to play another selection in the state capital. The director of the band is Walter Allen, while the entire organization is under the management of A. J. Turner. Rev. Wm. Flagg made the only plea for the Negro during the convention. He called lustily for some member of the race to be permitted to be heard on the floor. Three cheers for Flagg! RAY—STEWART.
