THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. PART ONE. S. W. STARKS LAID TO REST Supreme Chancellor of Knights of Pythias. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA SGENE OF FUNERAL. TENNESSEE REPRESENTED BY DR. R. F. BOYD—MAGNIFICENT FLORAL DESIGNS — UNIFORM RANK IN PROCESSION — MASTERLY FUNERAL ORATION BY REV. G. B. HOWARD—GOVERNOR DAWSON SPEAKS. To The Globe: Charleston, W. Va., April 9, 1908.—It is generally known to the Pythians everywhere and the reading public as well, that Samuel W. Starks, the Supreme Chancellor of our Order, and one of the most daring, heroic, chivalrous and magnetic leaders the race has ever had, was called from labor to reward. On last Friday morning the Master said to him, "You have done enough; cease to labor, and go to your reward." The command was obeyed. Then the weary wheel of his life stood still and the spirit of our Supreme Chancellor took its flight to the God who gave. A host of angels of the highest realms met him at the portals and the sweet voice of our Lord greeted him with "Well done, good and faithful servant; Thou hast been faithful over a few things; come up and I will make the ruler over many; enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." Upon receiving the sad news of the death of our Supreme head, the Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. P. Crawford, and I, as Grand Counsellor, held a conference. We then counselled with the Grand Officers and representatives at Nashville. It was decided that Tennessee should be represented at the funeral both by personal representative and floral offering. Dr. Crawford could not come, so it was decided that I should attend. I immediately telegramned an order for a floral design—a large anchor, with the word "Tennessee" encircling it; and left on the next train for Charleston. W. Va., where the body of our leader lay. On my way I was joined by representatives of many States and when I got here I found practically every State in the Supreme Jurisdiction represented. Most of the Supreme officers are here and thousands of Knights in this and adjoining States have come to pay their last respects to the memory of this great man. As you know, he was the State Librarian of West Virginia, and one of the leading business men of this section. So every class of citizens is touched by his untimely taking away. His body first lay in the parlor of his palatial residence on Screwberry street—till Monday morning, and then removed to the First Baptist Church, the church where he had worshiped, where it lay in state and was reviewed by thousands of people till one o'clock p. m., when the doors were closed. A military guard of U. R. under command of our Major General. Robt. L. Jackson, kept vigilance over the remains at home and at the church. At 2 o'clock the doors of the church were thrown open for the admittance of the family, the Order and as many friends as could get in. At 2:30 the capacity of the church was taxed to its utmost and hundreds of people stood in front of the church unable to gain admittance. The following program was carried out to the letter: Scripture Lesson—Rev. W. E. Walker, Pastor St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Invocation—Rev. J. W. Waters, Pastor Simpson M. E. Church. Hymn. Biographical Sketch—President J. McHenry Jones, West Virginia Colored Institute. Solo. Address—His Excellency, Gov. W. M. O. Dawson. Introductory Remarks—Rev. S. R. Bullock, Pastor of First Baptist Church. Hymn. Funeral Sermon—Rev. G. B. Howard, Petersburg, Va. Program. CALL ANOTHER CONVENTION Claiming there is at present no Congressional Committee in the Sixth District, created and empowered by the masses of the Republican party, colored representatives of the party from each of the counties of the district met in this city Wednesday and adopted resolutions joining in a call for another Congressional Convention to be held in Nashville in May. In the preamble to the resolutions, wholesale trickery is laid at the door of "the alleged Republican Executive Committee" of the district, the committee that called the previous Congressional Convention in Twin Hall on February 12. The resolutions as adopted are as follows: "Whereas, On the 11th day of January, 1908, the alleged Republican Congressional Executive Committee for the Sixth District of Tennessee met in the Tulane Hotel at Nashville and issued a call for a Congressional Convention for said district to be held on February 12, 1908, in Twin Hall, at said Nashville, for the purpose of electing two delegates and two alternates to the Chicago Convention to be held on June 16 next, and for the purpose of naming a district elector, etc.; and. "Whereas, said alleged Congressional Committee called, or authorized and approved the calling of ward and district primaries to be held on Jan. 20, 1908, to elect delegates to a county convention to be held in Davidson County on Jan. 25, 1908, which last said county convention was to elect delegates to the Congressional Convention above referred to as being called for February 12, 1908; and Whereas, said alleged Congressional Committee provided in its plan for said alleged Congressional Convention that the Primary Committee should prepare the ballots and all voters must qualify on or before Jan. 16, 1908, by presenting either a registration certificate or satisfactory evidence that he has been registered; Whereas, at the time of said alleged call, said alleged committee well knew that a very small percentage of the Republicans of Davidson County were then registered and that from Jan. 11, 1908 (date of committee call), to Jan. 16, 1908 (date fixed for qualification of Republicans by registration), a period of five days, no opportunity would or could be presented to the Republicans of Davidson County to register and thus qualify; and, Whereas, the process practically disfranchises nine-tenths of the voters Hymn—Flee as a Bird. The biographical sketch by Prof. Jones was full and gave a minute history in detail, the life and work of our lamented leader. His Excellency, Governor Dawson, spoke of the character of Mr. Starks and held him up as one of the best examples of a man who has risen from poverty's low estate to honor's golden prize. He pictured graphically the boy born in poverty, attending the public schools, learning the cooper's trade, office janitor, learning telegraphy, then telegraph operator, holding the care and protection of hundreds of lives in his hands, and finally becoming the ruler of the largest and most intelligent body of men in his race, winning the respect of all classes of people and filling the responsible position of State Librarian of the great State of West Virginia. He said not only the race to which Mr. Starks belonged had suffered a great loss, but the State and nation as well. The governor was very deeply affected and portrayed his personal feelings throughout the services. The funeral sermon was a masterly effort by Rev. G. B. Howard, a lifelong friend and for many years Mr. Starks' pastor. It indeed gave a high degree of satisfaction to all present to hear a master of the English language and a thorough scholar in the Bible literature preach this sermon before the governor and other NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. Not Registered. of the party in Davidson County, a method condemned always by the Republican party; and. "Whereas, the alleged primaries held on Jan. 20, 1908—or just five days after Jan. 16, 1908, the day set for qualification—were a farce and travesty upon the rights of free men; and, "Whereas, said alleged Congressional Committee, which never as a matter of fact had a legal existence, refused and failed as a part of the scheme of a clique of Federal officeholders to dominate the party, to give legal, fair and proper notice to the masses of the party; and in order to confuse those who might get the ridiculously short notice of five days in Davidson County (from Jan. 11, 1908, to Jan. 16, 1908), published in an imperfect manner in certain Democratic newspapers said alleged Congressional Committee purposely refused and failed to make clear the hours within which Republicans could vote in the primaries on Jan. 20, 1908; and. "Whereas, the masses of our party in counties outside of Davidson in said Congressional district, had practically no notice whatever of any kind, of either the Congressional convention or the county conventions to be held to select delegates to the Congressional convention; and, "Whereas, all power is inherent in the Republican masses of the Sixth Congressional District; and the Congressional Committee has no power, except that which has been delegated to it by the people who make up the party, and the people reserve all rights and powers not delegated to others; and, "Whereas, there is no Congressional Committee in the Sixth District created and empowered by the masses of our party; "Therefore, we join in this call for a Congressional Convention to be held at Nashville, Tenn., by the Republicans of the Sixth District on Saturday, May 16, 1908, at 11 o'clock a.m., in Twin Hall, for the purpose of electing two delegates and two alternates to the National Republican Convention, to be held at Chicago, June 16, next, to nominate a candidate for Congress, to name a District Elector and to reorganize the Congressional Committee, and to transact such other business as may properly come before it; and, we order that the basis of representation of each county in said District Convention shall be one high State officials of the opposite race. The music was of the best selection and was well rendered. At the close of the sermon the choir sang "Abide with me." The funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen in the city, being more than a quarter of a mile in length. It was led by the Pythian band, followed by the Pythians, Elkis and Masons, all in uniform rank. The carriage containing the floral offerings was next. There were designs of all kinds, many of them most exquisite and costly. Lodges from all parts of the country had sent their floral tributes. There were more than forty carriages in the procession. At the grave the Pythians took charge, going through the full Lodge ceremony. State Officials Attend. Many of the State officials attended the funeral, among them being Gov. W. M. O. Dawson, Hon. A. C. Scherr, Hon. Thomas C. Miller, Judge H. C. McWhorter, ex-Gov. A. B. White, Hon. Newton Ogdin and Gen. Noyes S. Burlew. Among the prominent colored people here were S. W.

We, the undersigned citizens and republican voters of the Sixth Congressional District of Tennessee, most heartily endorse the call for a Republican Congressional Convention, published in the Nashville American of April 16th, and to be held in Nashville, May 16th, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Chicago Convention; to the end that the rank and file of the Republicans of this district may have representation and be no longer dominated by a few Federal office-holders, to the destruction or detriment of the organization of the party.

There his body to remain till the trumpet of God shall sound and the just man made perfect shall rise to meet the Savior in midair. In the death of Mr. Starks the Pythians have lost their greatest champion; the race has lost one of its foremost leaders; the State of West Virginia has lost one of its purest officials and the nation has lost a model citizen in whose life and character will be an inspiration to the youth of this land for all ages to come. God give us more men like Samuel W. Starks. Yours in F. C. & B., R. F. BOYD. ENDORSEMENT Very respectfully. SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Delivers Masterful Speech In United States Senate. TAKES ADMINISTRATION TO TASK IN BROWNSVILLE CASE. ABLE DEFENDER OF JUSTICE CHAMPIONS CAUSE OF LIBERTY — IN IMPASSIONATE SPEECH LASTING THREE HOURS HE HOLDS HIS AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND—ATTACKS WARNER BILL. Washington, D. C., April 14.—In the presence of the most enthusiastic audience that ever filled the Senate chamber in the history of the Upper House of Congress, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, saw the crowning results of his labor, and the climax of the enthusiasm which has been accorded him ever since he took his stand for American citizens' rights and against the administration and the President's high-handed manner of judging people guilty before their guilt has been established or proven by a jury. His speech for three hours to-day on the Brownsville affair was received enthusiastically. The galleries, the lower floor of the Senate, and every available space was crowded and taxed to its uttermost capacity with eager spectators, who had vied with each other in giving attention to the "Senior Senator" from Ohio, and the one man in the United States who is a greater statesman, a more able orator and the peer of Theodore Roosevelt, the President of the United States. There were more Negro citizens in the Senate chamber to-day than have ever been seen or recorded in the history of the Congress. They were here from all parts of the United States, representing good citizenship, intelligence, refinement and wealth. So great was the speech of Senator Foraker, so ably was it delivered, and so welcomely was it received by all of his hearers, that the consensus of opinion to-night is that Foraker is America's greatest statesman. He handled his audience with cleverness, earnestness of purpose, and without any effort to excite race prejudice. Regardless of the approaching political conflict, he refused to take the advantage of the accepted opportunity to put down political opponents. He dealt simply with facts, as have been brought out from time to time in the Senatorial Investigating Committee's exhaustive report in the Brownsville affair. In the midst of his speech it was noticeable that for another time the President went down in defeat in his effort to revert attention from this able exponent of justice, by sending in a special message on the appropriation for battleships. Hardly five sentences of his special message were heard when read by the clerk, so great was the demonstration. Even Vice President Fairbanks' admonition that quiet must be had in the Senate chamber, was not heeded. The old policy of "America for Americans" seemed to be paramount throughout. The most striking part of the whole speech was when Senator Foraker pronounced severely the resolution introduced by Senator Warner in behalf of the administration, under which any of the men who were discharged may be reinstated by the President, after they have proven their innocence in the shooting. He insisted that this reversed entirely the methods of legal procedure in this country, since it placed an accused man in the position of first proving his innocence instead of placing the duty upon the state to prove the guilt of any accused person. Next, he declared that even greater injustice would be done by the Warner bill in that it left to President Roosevelt the option of reinstating the men or after judging them as innocent after he had reputed and severely denounced them as guilty of the blackest crime in the annals of the United States army: In this connection, after reading extracts from many messages the President had sent to Congress in connection with the Browns No.15.

Singleton, Mgr duties a sa teacher great opportunity to help his race, and had devoted his greatest efforts to the training and the development of the moral character of the children under his charge, to whom he was deeply devoted, and by whom he was universally loved; that his influence in the community had been helpful as well as wholesome, and that he would be universally mourned by all who knew him. A committee composed of D. E. Gordon, of the L'Ouverture; Wm. H. Cox, of the Jackson; R. H. Cole, of the Slimmons; Peter Herzog, of the Blair, and J. B. Vashon, of the Attucks, submitted a set of resolutions as follows: Whereas, Providence has in inscrutable wisdom called to loftier purposes, to a more exalted sphere, the soul of our friend and co-worker, Arthur D. Langston; be it Resolved, That by his death the public schools of St. Louis have lost a faithful, zealous and successful teacher; and we, the teaching force thereof, have been bereft of a courteous, genial and intelligent associate. Resolved, That the community at large has lost an intelligent and broad-minded citizen and humanity a good man. Resolved, That his social circle has lost a man who thoroughly appreciated home life, for he had around him those who were congenial and able to co-operate in his ideals of what should characterize an agreeable home circle. Resolved, That to his stricken family we extend our sympathy in this their hour of bereavement, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to them. The Forum Club, of which Prof. Arthur D. Langston was Vice President, at a regular meeting held yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the club, 2706 Pine street, adopted the following set of resolutions in behalf of the deceased: Whereas, our Heavenly Father has called into his closer keeping the soul of our beloved friend and brother, Arthur D. Langston; and, Whereas, We, while bowing to his divine will, feel impoverished by the immediate loss and feign would voice some cry; be it Resolved, That in the death of this incomparable man the Forum Club has lost an officer and member whose fealty and devotion to the club and its best interests stood out in such bold relief as to merit universal emulation. Resolved, That the community at large has been bereft of a citizen who, by precept and example, pointed out the way to the very highest civic excellence, whose counsel to his fellow-citizens has ever been fraught with wisdom, patriotism and discretion. Resolved, That the Negro race has lost a fearless, outspoken and persistent champion, ever ready to do battle for its cause, regardless of all personal consideration or consequence. Resolved, That humanity has lost a man whose creed combined the elements of gentleness, patience, high courage and unwavering devotion to the right, an upright, conscientious Christian gentleman. BENEVOLENT ORDER NO. 106 INSTALLS OFFICERS AND DEDICATES NEW HALL. On Wednesday night, April 15, Benevolent Order No. 106, held its annual installation in their new hall on Maury street. In connection with the installation services was the dedication of their beautiful building. The hall is a two-story brick structure, 32x60. The first story consists of four living rooms in the rear and a large store room in the front. These rooms will be rented at prices that will yield the society good returns. The location makes the building a desirable one for a grocery or dry goods store, and the living rooms will demand ready tenants, being situated in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The hall, which measures 30x50 inside, will be used for lodge and public meetings, and will also be available for entertainments, its spaciousness making it very much to be desired. The exercises Wednesday night were very impressive from many points of view. The members of this lodge have been struggling for many years to secure a hall of their own, and their countenances Wednesday night showed that they are a happy people. Again, it was plain that the race is thinking, and is progressing with the times. Their brick hall, with hardwood furnishings, is another evidence that they have been observing the progress of others. The hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and bunting, the president's stand being completely lost in a bed of roses and other cut flowers. Several prominent speakers were present, who added life to the occasion, among whom were Mr. Wm. McGavock, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, Rev. Preston Taylor, Mr. Alston, Dr. J. G. Hale, Mr. A. N. Johnson, Mr. Elliston and Mr. D. A. Hart. The gentlemen made short talks that were enjoyed by the large assembly of members and friends. At the close of the exercises and the speaking the refreshment committee served the members and guests to an abundance of refreshments. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908 SATISFACTION IN BAPTISMAL GARMENTS. There is no doubt but that this winter has been one of the greatest in the history of the Christian church when it comes to revivals. Hundreds of souls have been saved. Scores of able ministers, both pastors and evangelists, have conducted successful meetings and now they are making preparations to take care of those converts who are candidates for baptism. As a result, they are needing baptical garments. Many have asked themselves and their co-laborers as well, where they could get a good baptizing garment. If they had called on the Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, they would have found the proper place. A large number of sales has been made by the Board this year. For instance, Rev. T. J. Goodall, who is pastoring the leading Baptist church in Clarksville, Tenn., and who purchased a baptismal garment, sends the following communication: "Gentlemen: "Please find enclosed a check for $13.50 for my baptismal garment, which I received at 4 p. m. Friday. I baptized Sunday and used the garment. It gives perfect satisfaction. The deacons are well pleased with the purchase. "Yours truly, (REV.) T. J. GOODALL, "428 Marion St., Clarksville, Tenn." Many others who have purchased garments within the past few days are Rev. S. A. Matthews, 1206 Harding street, Nashville; Rev. W. R. Brown, 208 Fifth avenue, N. W., Roanoke, Va.; Rev. J. C. Lott, pastor Kayne Avenue Baptist Church, Nashville; Rev. B. F. Farrell, Indianapolis, Ind.; Rev. W. F. Graham, 1118 G. street, N. W., Washington, D. C.; Rev. E. W. Hoyt, 1538 Fourth street, Macon, Ga.; Rev. Chas. A. Merritt, Thibadaux, La.; Rev. A. B. Flood, Delhi, La. We could go to name a long list of others, but these are only given to show the variety of orders, and every one has given perfect satisfaction. If you are in need of a baptismal garment, a baptismal robe or a set of baptismal sleeves, call on or write at once to the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn.* ENTERTAINED AT DINNER.

One of the best addresses that it has been the pleasure of the teachers and pupils of this school to listen to this year was that delivered by Father E. R. Bennett, of Wilmington, N. C., last Thursday. Father Bennett was in the city for the purpose of conducting a mission at Holy Trinity Church. In company with Father Coombs, the esteemed rector of Holy Trinity, the distinguished prelate visited the school and looked into some of the classrooms. The school sang two of their best selections, which were favorably commented upon. At recess time the two priests had the pleasure of listening to the first practice of some commencement music. The burden of Father Bennett's talk was "Thorough Preparation." He advised the pupils to stick to their books, not to become tired nor imagine themselves sick when the work became hard. He said that there were plenty of good places for competent people. The trouble with many people is that they do not carry things to a finish. They never complete a task, they become weary or faint-hearted before success is reached. He mentioned an experience which he had in trying to find a competent person to take an important position in a millionaire's office. This millionaire was a friend of the Negro race, a philanthropist, and one whose life was full of kind acts toward the Negro. On a visit to the office of this millionaire friend, he asked him why he had not added to the list of his benevolent deeds the act of putting a Negro in a position in his office. The millionaire replied that he had often thought of doing so, but was afraid he could not find one who would do the work satisfactorily, who would not get tired, who could be trusted with the facts of the office, and who would stick to the job long enough to learn the business. He promised, however, that if one was sent him that was competent, he would give him a trial. Father Bennett said that then he began a careful search to find some one whom he could recommend for the place. After searching through his own city without success, he looked elsewhere and asked his friends to help him look, but none of them could find a person competent and suitable to be placed in this position. With this as an illustration, he urged upon the pupils with all the emphasis and eloquence that he could command, to utilize their opportunities, do thorough work and make themselves efficient for the duties of future life. The speaker also took a shot at those parents who in a moment of anger or disappointment tell their children that they are good for nothing and that "they never will be nothing." He illustrated this idea by the following story: "Three boys were playing together. One was Irish, one was a Jew, and the other was a Negro. When they grew tired of play, Isaac, the Jew, called 'Pat,' the Irish, and said, 'Pat, what are you going to be when you grow to be a man?' I am going to be a politician,' replied Pat. 'How do you know?' 'Because my father told me so.' Then Pat and Isaac both called Mose, the Negro, and said: 'Mose, now tell us what are you going to be when you become a man?' 'I am going to be a pawnbroker,' answered Isaac. 'How do you know?' 'Because my father told me so.' Then Pat and Isaac both called Mose, the Negro, and said: 'Mose, now tell us what are you going to be when you become a man?' Mose replied. I ain't gwine to be nothin'!' 'Why, Mose, how do you know?' 'Because my mamma told me so!'' Father Bennett commented upon the importance of home training and encouraged the children to aim high, to look up, and aspire for the best. He drew a forcible and strong contrast between the home training of these three boys. He said that a child would never accomplish much in life if he had his hopes and aspirations stifled and blasted by a continual reminder that he could not rise and would never amount to anything. The effort was a fine one and he was roundly applauded at the conclusion. COLORED INSTITUTE. The Colored Institute of Davidson County met in regular session last Saturday. The house was called to order by the chairman, Prof. W. H. Card. The assembly arose and sang that beautiful song, "What a friend thou art to me." Prayer was offered by Mr. A. A. Bennett. In the absence of a program, the minutes of last meeting were called, read and approved. Prof. W. C. Anderson, Superintendent, favored the institute with a very interesting lecture from a volume of the teachers' reading course. Prof. Anderson asked the teachers to have another regular meeting in May for the purpose of having the County Board of Education present and give instructions. This request comes as all County public school, close their year's work on the 24th inst. It was further announced that the State Superintendent had consented to give Davidson County the State Institute this summer. CHURCH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. FOR FURTHER INFORMA- TION APPY TO THE National Every seat in the room was occupied, which speaks well for the interest taken in the work. The horse belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Moore became frightened Sunday morning in front of Spruce Street Baptist Church, and starred to run away, but was caught before going very far. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Eliza Sanders were in the buggy. The latter was thrown to the ground and her right side was bruised a little, but Mrs. Moore was not hurt. rather for race pride. You can readily see that it would be something to be proud of, and stimulate others to action. As soon as I get settled mentally, I shall write to those which I have knowledge of appearing in The Globe; but of the thirty-seven or more I know of only those aine in the bank directory of your paper." Mr. Dickson is already a stockholder in the One Cent Savings Bank. Having been attracted by its reports from time to time through The Globe, he became interested and purchased shares. Since then he has kept a close watch on happenings in this section of the country. The excerpt given is only to show that Negro business firms do not know the value of printer's ink. Especially is this true with Negro banks. They do not advertise beyond their local community, and many of them carry small and insignificant advertisements that they are hardly ever seen or noticed. The Negro is handling many thousands of dollars monthly that could be passed through Negro banks in their various communities. They are handling hundreds and thousands of dollars annually that go through postoffice money orders, express money orders and by registered mail that could easily be transferred by exchange checks from Negro banks if the public knew that such institutions were in existence and were doing a general banking business. The attention of the public is especially invited to the nine Negro banks appearing in the bank directory of The Nashville Globe. The Treasurer of The Globe, who has been assigned to this particular work, has addressed several personal communications and sent a self-addressed envelope to the thirty-seven Negro banks and banking institutions in the United States, asking their cooperation in the bank directory, with the result of the nine appearing. It is to be hoped that the others will give these letters a reply and the proposition a consideration, not only for the benefit of their institution, but let it at least be for the sake of the race.

The Work of Preparing for the Sunday School Congress Still Continues with Increased Activity. Nashville, Tenn., April 8.—"The change of the meeting place of the 1908 session of the National Baptist Convention from New York to the beautiful, proud, historic and wealthy city of Lexington Ky., was made March 26 by the Executive Boards in session in this city. The change will not interfere in the least with the date, the time, the place or the extensive program for the coming session of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua, which is to be held in Jacksonville, Fla., at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, beginning Wednesday morning, June 24, and continuing until Monday, June 29," said Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the Sunday School Congress movement, in speaking to your correspondent today about the action of the Executive Boards. It was also learned from him that the work of preparing the list of subjects to be discussed at the Congress is being rapidly pushed and that they would be announced through the columns of the National Baptist Union, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, at an early date. Although the program is in its embryonic state, it was learned that many prominent men have consented to speak. "Among them," states Mr. Boyd, "will be found the following: Rev. W. B. Reed pastor of the First Baptist Church, Madison, N. J.; Mr. Hugh T. Mussellman (white), Superintendent Sunday School Training Department American Baptist Publication Society, Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. A. A. Cosey, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Rev. N. D. Broughton (white), Superintendent Sunday School Pedagogy, Southern Baptist Sunday School Board, Raleigh, N. C., and Lieut.-Col. Allen Allensworth, United States Army (retired), of Los Angeles, Cal. These are but a few of the many prominent men who have expressed their intentions to be present." "The musical feature will no doubt attract large audiences. Special music has been written; an anthem, 'Hall the Baptist Congress,' has been prepared by Profs. Thos. W.J. Tobias, of New Orleans, and will be the opening piece for the occasion; another anthem is 'The Beatitudes.' All of these special selections will be rendered by a chorus of one hundred voices which will eclipse the singing at any denominational meeting ever held in the United States. A great advantage this year will be that the Congress convenes at a time when, all of the schools are closed for the summer, thus enabling the educators of the race to be present." THE FIFTH WARD BAPTIST CHURCH, CLARKSVILLE. The Fifth Ward Baptist Church, of Clarksville, Tenn., celebrated the first anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. T. J. Goodall, Sunday, April 12. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, and the choir was at its best. The program was well executed, and those taking part were unstinted in their praise of Rev. T. G. Goodall. The church presented him with a gold-headed umbrella as a tangible expression of her appreciation of his excellent service. Rev. W. S. Ellington preached the anniversary sermon. His text was, Exodus 14:15—"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." His subject was, "Leadership, Essential to Success." He said that we are in great need of leaders that are morally sound and that are influentially strong; leaders that are intellectually competent, and that are of our own flesh and blood. He declared that Pharaoh could not have led Israel out of bondage into the Promised Land, even if he had so desired, because he belonged to another race, and was, therefore, not capable of that sympathy for the Hebrews which inspires confidence. The speaker then briefly reviewed several centuries of our race life, and concluded by saying that we have only had the benefits of leadership about forty years; prior to that we were not led like men, but driven like cattle. At night the clerk of the church read the annual financial report, showing that the church had raised upwards of seventeen hundred dollars. The membership is increasing rapidly and the congregation is one of the largest in the state. BUSY BEE CLUB. There was a meeting of the Busy Bee Club on Monday, April 13, at the residence of Miss Sara A. E. Jones, 419 First avenue, South. Business of importance came before the meeting. Mrs. R. L.

I want to engage your attention for the present to a discussion of our publications that are issued from the five departments in our church that we must class as printing houses, namely, the Book Concern, which publishes the Christian Recorder, weekly; the Review, quarterly, and is supposed to publish the Hymnal, Hymn Book, the Discipline, and other text books for the enlightenment of the A. M. E. preachers and the laity as well. It requires to run this plant all the machinery necessary to operate a regular manufacturing plant, such as steam boilers, engines, belting and shafting, or if electricity is used, individual motors, heating either by steam or stoves, elevators, etc. A regular force must be employed; in short, almost every expense that is attached to any well-regulated printing office is attached to our Book Concern. The Foreign Mission Department which publishes "The Voice of Missions" has its printing done by contract, but an office must be maintained, the rent for which could be saved to the Church. And so on we take the other three departments and we have a like condition of affairs. Five concerns in different parts of the country, costing the Church fully three times what they ought to cost! Now we will estimate another item of expense that could be greatly reduced by merging these three departments into one, namely, white printing paper. You will readily agree with me that you can get a better price on a barrel of potatoes than you can if you buy them one peck at a time; the same is true of printing paper. If these five departments were merged into one, enough could be saved in the cost of paper each year if properly handled, to pay the salaries of two general officers. Let us stop long enough to sum up the magazines and newspapers published by these five departments; in Philadelphia we publish the Christian Recorder, weekly, and the Review quarterly; in New York we publish by contract the Voice of Missions, monthly; in Jacksonville, Fla., we publish the literature for the Endeavor Department, such as Topic Cards, Constitutions, Tracts, etc.; in Columbus, Ga., we publish the Southern Christian Recorder; in Nashville, Tenn., we publish the Teacher and Scholar's Quarterlies, the Gem and Juvenile Lesson Papers and the Sunday School Monitor. Suppose then, just for the sake of argument, we estimate the number of copies of each of these periodicals printed each issue as follows: the Christian Recorder, 10,000 weekly; the Review, 5,000 quarterly; the Voice of Missions, 15,000 monthly; the Southern Christian Recorder, 5,000 weekly; the Sunday School Monitor, 5,000 semi-monthly; The Teacher's Quarterly, 25,000 quarterly; the Scholar's Quarterly, 150,000 quarterly; the Juvenile and Gem. 25,000 monthly. The Endeavor literature we will class as stock work or matter not issued periodically. By lumping all the above periodicals we get an annual number of impressions of over 3,000,000, requiring a consumption of more than 3,000 reams of paper. When you talk to a paper dealer about 6,000 reams of paper he is going to listen to you very attentively, and he is going to make you prices that will mean the saving of a neat sum of money annually. Suppose we average this paper at 70 pounds to the ream: we get a total of 420,000 pounds of paper. Suppose then we estimate that this paper as it is bought now costs on an average of 5 cents per pound; we have a total of $21,000. Suppose by merging all this business we would be able to strike an average of four cents per pound for this same paper, the 420,000 pounds would cost us $16,800, a difference of $4,200 saved on the paper item or nearly enough to pay the salary of two Bishops.

Again, whereas, five general officers are required to do this work, one could do it just as well and better. You say. These men have other work attached to their duties, but the point 1 would have you see is this, they cannot prosecute the work laid out by our Discipline and dabble in paper buying. The great drawback to our printing is, we have secretaries where we ought to have editors. These secretary-editors are supposed to teach Christian living, but they are compelled to spend most of their energies trying to keep up with the business affairs of their departments. You say: But it would require a large force of clerks and bookkeepers to conduct such a business. Each one of these departments now has a bookkeeper and a clerical force. One bookkeeper or one clerk could do the work of five if our printing were properly merged and systematized. You say: But it would require an enormous expenditure of money for printing presses and other machinery. Let us see if this is true. We have two as high grade book printing presses in our Sunday School Union in Nashville, Tenn., as are made in the world—modern and up-to-date Twentieth Century machines. By attaching to these two presses automatic Cross Continuous Paper Feeders at a cost of $3,000 they can produce 20,000 impressions per day. We have 313 working days in each year. We will take off 13 days for holidays, then we will estimate that one-fourth of the time be consumed in losses of time and making ready forms which will leave us 225 days.

I know of three other concerns that are considering the addition of typesetting machines to their plants, and all of them are inclined toward the Mergenthaler. The Tuskegee Industrial Institute has recently added to its printing department one of these machines, and employs two competent instructors, practical men, who are competent to turn out operators who can go from that institution full-fledged journeyman workmen, able to hold their own beside the best operators in the country. These advantages should be an incentive to the Negroes who contemplate making advancement in the printing business to purchase the machine for which they can have a hope of securing Negro operators. One of these machines has the capacity of setting as much type as five men. The Cross Continuous Paper Feeders are to my mind the best on the market to-day. They are the embodiment of simplicity, which is the best guarantee of their worth. The first sold south of the Ohio river was bought upon my recommendation. A boy was put in charge of it and is running it without any trouble. Pardon me, but I wish to relate an incident that happened at the Baptist Publishing House one evening. Dr. Boyd and I were standing near one of the presses equipped with one of these feeders, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the light went out, and in the dark the feeder worked right on just as if nothing had happened. We will now take up the rent item of the three printing houses that are located in buildings that do not belong to the Church. We will start with the Missionary Department. I have never seen the headquarters of that department, but I feel safe in saying that the secretary has to pay at least $100 per month rent. Here we have an annual expenditure of $1,200. We will estimate that the Endeavor Secretary and the Editor of of the Southern Christian Recorder pay $25.00 per month, which gives us a total of $600, which added to the Missionary Secretary's rent, gives us a total of $1,800. At least half of this amount could be saved if these departments were in one central building. Add this $900 to $4,200 and we have a total of 5,100 that can be saved to the Church each year on two items alone. MISS L. B. STRINGER DELIVERS AN ADDRESS TO THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: The warmth of your reception merits a grateful response in my heart, for in becoming your guest, even for the evening, I feel that while I may say a few words that might be of interest to you, I'll reap the purest gratification on my part and also learn something new about your noble work here. I cannot enlarge upon the word "benevolence," for it fully explains itself; but for the benefit of some I may say the word comes from the Latin word "bene," which means well, and "volo," which means to wish; so the word "Benevolence" means the love for mankind accompanied with the desire to promote their happiness. Just here I would like to say we have no better example to explain benevolence than that of the Good Samaritan when he came along and saw the poor sick man by the wayside. He stopped, placed him on his beast of burden, carried him to an inn, saw that the poor man was properly cared for, and from that time up until now that kind of work has been going on. "True Benevolence, a plant divinely nurses'd. Fed by the love from which arose at first, Thrives against hope, and, in the rudest sense, Storms but enliven its unfading green; Exuberant is the shadow it supplies, Its fruit on earth, its growth above the skies." The greatest power for the upbuilding and enlightenment of a people is that power or influence which is exhorted by the public press. "Did Charity prevail, the press would prove A vehicle of virtue, truth and love." The public press has more to do with a nation than all other avenues of life. The press breaks down evil opinion, last but not least, the press is the backbone of the race. Every nation is delighted to read the paper printed by its own nationality, the Jew, Greek, German, especially. Ladies and gentlemen, if this be true of other races, should we not as a race be proud of our Negro papers and appreciate the efforts our young men are putting forth that we might have our own news published in the columns of papers of our own race. As I am here in the interest of one of the leading and best Negro journals to be found from the farthest borders of the State of Maine on the north to Florida on the South; from the mighty Pacific on the west to the YOUR EASTER SUIT IS READY This is the store where your promise to pay buys anything.

Show me a paper of the white press that will publish your social news. Not one. And that is why I ask you all to read a paper that is for the benefit of yourself and oth- ers. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for the time you have allowed me for this little talk and may I say in the words of the poet, may the members of this organization, and all present, so live that when their summons comes, they will go not like the quarry-slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach their graves like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. JOHN P. PORTER. Mr. John P. Porter is President of the Y. M. C. A. and one of the foremost young men of the city in Christian work and secret orders. Mr. Mr. Porter came to Nashville from Columbia several years ago, and through the influence of the Y. M. C. A. he was converted. He is now a deacon in Spruce Street Baptist Church and superintendent of the Sunday-school. He is also a delegate to the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua to be held in Jacksonville, Fla., June 24 to 29. Mr. Porter is a prominent member of the Drivers' Mutual Aid Association, an Odd Fellow and K. of P. He has gained a wide influence in this city, especially among the young men. THE most sacred ordinance that can be obs rived by all churches THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordinations of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels. Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. They can have them made out of the best grade of quardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices.

THE CALL FOR A CONVENTION. THE CALL FOR A CONVENTION. The Globe calls the especial attention of its readers to the call for a republican convention which is printed upon another page. We take great pleasure in printing this call for in it we feel that our contention that the affairs of the party in this county and district must not be and shall not be dictated by a band of federal office-holders, has been justified and endorsed. It is a notorious fact as we pointed out immediately following the recent snap-committee-named-convention, that the will of the republican voters has been stifled by a set of office-holders who to serve their own purpose called a convention in such a manner that most of the members of the part would not be made aware of the fact until they, through their delegates, had captured the said convention. It is still further a notorious fact that previous to the call of the convention, every effort was made to adopt a plan never before heard of in republican primaries in this district, that every voter in the primary should show either a poll-tax receipt or a registration certificate. It is still further a fact that the illegal convention held in this county at which the delegates to the district convention were selected was held before the State Committee had issued a call for a single county convention. On account of these irregularities and because we believe that every republican voter should have a chance to express his preference for the men who are to name the delegates and alternates to the Chicago Convention. The Globe takes great pleasure in printing the call. We feel that this call vindicates and sanctions the position we have assumed regarding the committee-named-convention in Davidson County. We have voiced the sentiment of the masses of the republican party and it is now up to the voters to rally to the call and see to it that delegates are sent to Chicago who will represent the opinion of the voters of this district; delegates who wear the collar of no federal office-holder; men who believe that the grand old party is big enough to hold and treat justly men of all races and creeds. We would especially urge upon all the Negro members of the party to cast off the lethargy with which they seem to have been enshrouded and come out into the open and fight for our rights. This is a time that Negro manhood needs to act. This is a time when a death blow may be struck at the hydra-headed lily-whitism which has dominated political af- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. fairs in this county and district. This is a time when the black citizens of this commonwealth can show to the world that no set of federal officeholders and referees, nor lily-white-social-political clubs can ram down their throats, without protest, men who endorse disranchisement and the persecution of innocent men on account of their color. Negro voters, remember Brownsville, and be on hand at the only regular, square deal, republican convention called in this county. Be on hand and uphold these men who are fighting the battle of a race. A LILY WHITE CLUB. Sometime ago a certain gentleman, prominent in the republican political affairs of this city, was being hauled over the coals by a contemporary for holding membership in a political club which was designated as a "lily-white club." This gentleman, in defense, stated, if our memory serves us rightly, that the said club was a social club pure and simple. The club in question was the McKinley Club of this city. Everyone knows that the gentleman in question is a well known federal office-holder. It is no crime to be a federal office-holder, nor is it a felony to believe that only white men should be eligible to use the franchise. But anyone posing as a republican and representing himself as believing in the tenets of that party should stand forth under his true colors, especially when he is holding office under that party. The McKinley Club, judging by this federal office-holder's statement is a social organization. But is that statement true? At a meeting held some time ago several of the members of this club, who were in the employment of the federal government, resigned from its membership because actions had been begun in Maury County against several postal employees who were identified with a political club. If this is a social club pure and simple, as this prominent office-holder maintained, why did these "small-fry" resign? At a smoker held by the club last Monday night, the club went on record as denouncing the recent Republican Convention and endorsing the "I wont hear you one minute"-Evans-Lily-white Convention. This latter convention proved its conviction to "Tily-whiteism" when it defeated Councilman Tyree, of Chattanooga, for alternate to the National Convention simply because he was a Negro. Our informant in the case of Tyree, we might add, is the democratic press through which all of the official public announcements have been published. This ungrateful turning down of Hiram Tyree, the one man who had made the Evans leadership possible in his home town, by the now famous "I wont listen to you one minute" body stamps the bolting convention as a illy-white affair. If the McKinley Club is not a political club, if it is not a lily-white club, why did it endorse a bolting, "I wont hear you one minute" office-holders' convention? ROOSEVELT'S LETTER. Since Mr. Roosevelt has tactically refused to do common justice to the admittedly innocent men of the black battalion who were so summarily dismissed without honor on account of the Brownsville Affair, all of his acts for the benefit of the race will be imputed to the desire to win over the recalcitrant Negro voter to his choice for the presidency. So long as he persists in his course the suspicion will not be wanting that he is playing politics in sending such letters as the one in which he requests the Department of Justice to take steps to make the Southern railroads provide equal accommodations for the races where equal fares are paid. We wish that it were possible for this suspicion not to exist and that Mr. Roosevelt had the active co-operation of the whole race upon this question. Sensible colored men, of the South, are not opposed to "Jim crow" cars because they separate them from the whites, but on account of the abominable service furnished in such cars upon some of the railroads of the South. They waive the question of right in the passage of such laws and proceed upon the theory that equal pay demands equal accommodations and equal service. Mr. Roosevelt's letter is a most excellent one, and it is upon the right lines. We only wish, as we have said, that the idea that the letter is but a bait for Negro votes could be dispelled by justice being done in the Brownsville case. It seems a bit strange if not humorous to hear of Thomas Watson, Populist candidate for President, charging that Wall Street bought the nomination of Judge Parker in the last Democratic National Convention. The democrats have made charges so often that other parties are seething masses of corruption controlled by the money of trusts and vast business enterprises that one would think that party above such venality. But Watson ought to know. He was a very live democrat when Hoke Smith was a candidate for governor of Georgia. If Mr. Watson's statement is to be relied upon, other than Negro delegates to National Conventions are influenced by the use of money. The Globe has dared to call into question the high-handed actions of the federal office-holder bosses and their committee-named-convention. We have fought for a chance for the manhood, the rank and file of the party, to dictate the party's policies. Let every man, be he white or black, who believes in the grand old republican principles of fair-play, of justice to all men and the square deal, join in the effort to free our beloved party of the domination of bossism, lilywhitism and the intimidation of federal office-holders. Let the loyal citizens of the proud old Volunteer state show to the world that this state does not endorse nor condone trickery. The Globe's popularity as an advertising medium is being fully demonstrated by the large number of live advertisements we are carrying in our columns each week. It pays to advertise in a newspaper that reaches the masses of the people. Likewise it will be beneficial to our many readers to patronize those who advertise with us. Every individual or firm using our columns wants your patronage. Remember this when making purchases. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker is the "noblest Roman of them all." The speech delivered by him in the Senate Tuesday in defense of his bill for the reinstatement of the colored soldiers was a masterpiece of clear, logical reasoning. No cant, no play to the galleries but a straight-forward arraignment of the un-American policies pursued in the discharge of the soldiers and the proposed method of re-instating them. Next Sunday will be Easter and we had thought to remind The St. Lukes Herald of the Nashville Brand and the beauty contest, but what's the use? Our Virginia contemporary is even afraid to "exchange" since we called its hand about the Virginia beauties. The Globe is indebted to Prof. Jasper Tappen Phillips for the initial issue of the Texas College Collegian. We also wish to acknowledge the receipt of The Rogerana, the monthly published at Roger Williams University. The Committee-Named-Convention followers thought they saw beforehand in the recent state convention a large batch of juicy plums. Now their mouths are all puckered. The "mob" fed them a few persimmons. According to the New York Age, Williams and Walker have signed a summer vaudeville contract at $2,000 per week. My! "Real Coons" come high in the East!

There are thousands of Negroes in this country who have never doubted the fairness of President Roosevelt, who have refused to join in the crowd of condemning him; but have steadily kept in touch with him and done the race good service by such action. "Get me the proof of the entire innocence of any man and I will see that he gets justice," he said once to a man whom he listened to patiently. The man went off to get the facts. He didn't return, because he had nothing to help his cause. The same set of men have given the President facts about the shameful conditions extant in Southern railroads, and white and colored men were again sent on a tour of investigation. With such in hand, the President issued an ultimatum to the railroads 5 TENNESSEE. without waiting for all the information he sent for. He only wanted enough to convince him. "The railroads must give you equal and exact accommodations—all they give any race," were his words. The President meant what he said. "We do not want identical accommodations, we want equal accommodations," was told him. Let not our people believe this act is a vote catcher; it is not. The condemnation meetings have had nothing to do with it. The act is only the natural result of an investigation which friends of the race have been making for some time, and a fulfillment of the promise of the President, that when it is shown that an injustice is done our people, in which he is in position to correct, that he will use his best endeavors to correct the evil justly complained of.

Johnson is doing a hustling business and that, "It is a miracle how a stranger can reach the people in so short a time." There is more method than miracle in Mr. Johnson's reaching the people. He gives them the best. There was a time when any old thing would do colored people. White undertakers do not call for colored funerals and refuse to let them have their best funeral cars, carriages and paraphernalia. They usually are glad to dispose of their old hearses and rigs to a colored man to serve colored people, and in many towns the outfit has served its day and generation and serves its last days with our people. Mr. Johnson's method was not only to get new funeral cars, new carriages and an entirely new outfit, but the best that genius has invented and money could buy—the very best material down to the present date, with Men's Suits for Easter The best equipped Clothing House in the South presents to your good judgment and find taste, the best line of Suitings for well dressed men ever shown in one establishment; the many expressions of satisfaction are sufficient encouragement for us to know they are correct in every detail.

His showrooms, where his caskets in all the improved styles and colors are seen, is so far ahead of the old methods of showing a catalogue that the people are better pleased to see what they are purchasing. It is a business and is conducted in a purely business way, which the people are praising. There are no "Signs of Ethiopia" about the business, as Mr. Emmett Scott would say. There are no dirty, unclean drivers. The men have appropriate uniforms to make them look neat and be comfortable. Mr. Johnson's spring uniforms have already arrived in both black and white, so that when white caskets and funeral cars are white, the liveries of the men will be in harmony. * * * THE NASHVILLE GLOBE.

They are not "spiked" with any, old horse who has served his days, but beautiful young steeds, which are well groomed and clean, bright and well harnessed, so that you know anything from Johnson's, no matter where you see it. Mr. Johnson is a leader. He sets the example and must be followed. He has already ordered the first pair of silver trimmed white hearse happess seen in the city of Nashville. These will arrive in a week or ten days and complete the most beautiful outfit of white funeral car, white horses and white harness in the entire country. Mr. Johnson never considers the cost in leading undertaking profession. He gets the idea into his head and pushes it to completion, letting other fellows, if they will, remain behind in the same old ruts. Those who know him are not surprised at his marvellous success, because he gives his personal attention to every detail. From the moment he is called and given orders to take charge, until the last act of the services, his personal attention is given and nothing left to the discretion of the hired men. * * * Every case of embalming has been successful and altogether satisfactory, receiving comment from all who see the service. There is not that uneasiness about results when Mr. Johnson serves. As one lady expresses it, "He seems to lift much of the burden off our minds; he knows all we should do and tells us how and what to do, and we rest easy." There is a personality in his business methods also which goes into this "miracle." He is pleasant. Positive, it is true, because upon his management depends the decorum of a sad performance—an ordeal none of us care to go through—yet we must and in a time when a master hand, an artist, a gentleman, is needed Mr. Johnson, though only several months here, is not a new Funeral Director. More than fifteen years ago he engaged in the profession and made it a daily, careful study since, doing the most successful business of any man in Mobile and Memphis before coming here. The people needed another man in Nashville and Mr. Johnson is supplying the demand. As one of our leading professional men says: "He is a necessity." That is why his business is succeeding. That is why he is no longer a stranger. That is why the people give him business. He gives them the best there is; his prices are no higher—many cases not so high as others, and the people who must have such services want the best there is for the money. That is the miracle, if miracle it can be called * *** * * * *** * * * * * * *** * * * All Styles and Prices.

The fans of Nashville are asking why don't the Standard Giants get some young blood in their line-up? While such players as Holden, King, Hurt, Fly, Collins, Watkins, Fly, Bowman, Johnson, Washington and Petway are all right, some of them are a little stale. Get some young men—men that do not keep late hours and lie down in "Bourbon." Tommy Burns (Noah Brusso), the white heavyweight pugilist of Canada now traveling in England, will be signed to-morrow to meet Jack Johnson, the heavy-weight, of Philadelphia, who has been pursuing Burns for months. The managers of the two men, Billy Neill and Sam Fitzpatrick respectively, met this afternoon and came to an agreement in which Neill got much the best. The deal would have been closed at once, but Neill was awaiting the arrival of the Burns forfeit. Each side will post a forfeit of $2,500 under the articles for appearance. If the money is not needed to go as a forfeit it will be used as a side bet. The desire of Burns for a fight of forty-five rounds or more was gratified, for Johnson willingly agreed to the plan of making it that length, as he had already agreed to put up the side bet on condition that he would whip Burns inside of twenty rounds. Neill further stipulated, and the stipulation was included in the articles, that he was to receive $30,000 of the purse, win, lose or draw. In order to protect his man from going penniless, Fitzpatrick stipulated that they should not fight for a purse less than $35,000, and that should the amount be any greater than that, all above $30,000 should go to Johnson. The men will meet again to-morrow and sign the articles. --- HADLEY SCHOOL—HONOR ROLL. From March 30 to April 13. Sixth-A—Jennie L. Anderson, Morece Weatherford, Susie Nolen.

The Ladies' Union No. 2 held their regular meeting with Mrs. Amanda Oliver, of 607 Ewing avenue, on Tuesday, April 3. The meeting was largely attended. Rev. G. L. Jackson gave the Union a short address. There were several short talks made by the members. After all the business was transacted the society was served with two courses of refreshments by Mrs. Oliver, who always seems glad to have the union meet at her home. The society will meet with Mrs. Swanson, 516 Lea avenue, May 1. DR. HAMMOND. Dr. E. W. S.

On Friday, April 10, the initial exercises for the English Department of the institution took place, and even though it was the first time some of the pupils had ever appeared before the public, they all acquitted themselves well, and quite up to, if not beyond the expectation of those interested. The program began at 1:45 p. m., and after invocation by Rev. A. O. Kenny, teacher of Theology and the Bible, the program went on in clock-work order, each participant responding as his name appeared on the printed program. The data of their selections was such that proved their determination to lay well a good and sure foundation for the course which they will pursue, and for the duties of their lifework upon which they shall enter. After the rendition of the program the entire school was given a formal reception on our beautiful and picturesque campus. Here they with friends and visitors could enjoy the pure zephyr from the Cumberland Heights view the beautiful flowers as nature MEMBER LOCAL No. 1 L.U.J.H.

News has just been received here of the sad death of Mrs. Tama Persley, the grandmother of Mrs. Charles Thorne and Miss Eudora McClelland, Her death, which occurred at her home in Topeka, Kan. Tuesday morning, April 13, was the result of a second stroke of paralysis. She was an ideal Christian woman and was beloved by all who knew her, Mrs. Persley was born in Tennessee, but moved to Kan- sas many years ago. ee WE ARE DYING YOUNGER. in view of all that has been said about the fall in the death rate it seems strange to realize, says Health Culture, that we are not living so long as our grandfathers and grandmothers did. . More babies live to grow up nowa- ‘days than formerly, but people in later life die younger. Once arrived at adult age the average man or woman has fewer years of survival to expect. _ This seems on the face of it so sur- prising a statement that in order to be accepted it should be backed up by data authentic and indisputable. Such data are furnished by the figures of the insurance companies (which all agree on the point), but it is easier to refer to the Government census ie- ports, which tell the tale in simple and convincing fashion. Even during the last fifteen years the death rate ‘among all persons over 55 years of age of both: sexes has risen very con- considerably. FAADANG VMAGAVEA COO GSS COME OOOO.

TELEPHONE, MAIN 509, KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: SPECIAL MEETING. There was a special business meet- ing of the Globe Publishing Company held at their office, 447 Fourth avenue, North, last Monday evening. Impor- tant business respecting the better- ment cf the Nashville Globe during the coming summer was transacted. A full attendance was present. Presi- dent Battle announced at the meeting ‘that the manager, Mr. D. A. Hart, Would be absent during the month of May, and all of his time would be spent at the General Conference of the A. M. E. Chureh at Norfolk, Va. This, however, stated Mr. Battle, will not detain one issue of the paper, nor will it interfere with the regular work. I was also agreed at the meeting to in sist that all delinquent subscribers send in or bring to the Globe office th amount of their subscriptions. “I has been over three months,” state Mr. Battle, “since the Globe had an: collectors who were authorized to co lect subscriptions, quarterly, semi-an nually or annually, so those who hav not paid should pay now. The peopl of Nashville appreciate the fact tha THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. we are giving them a clean, newsy, high-class weekly journal, second to none in the United States, and it is their purpose, judging from past evi- dences, to continue support to The Nashville Globe,” said the president. He also insisted upon the advertisers exercising more promptness in set- tling for their “ads,” stating that The Globe had not called upon them con- stantly or annoyed them with collec- tors, as the company believed every advertiser would settle his account. A matter that came up for a large consideration and discussion in this Ineeting was the treatment of The Globe by the Nashville people, espe cially those people who expect write ups and prominent mention in the | paper from time to time for entertain |ments given where The Globe receive no invitation officially. It was pointe lout very clearly in the meeting tha | where a newspaper is not invited, an |when some member of the Compan; goes and pays his full amount, eithe at a concert, recital or a full taxatio to a banquet or a reception of an | kind, that he is not there as a new: BIND OOOO’ MO SPOHMWIOE QOHOA OOO MVEAMD 7 SHOSHONE paper man, but as a guest, and could not be expected to deprive himself of an evening of pleasure in order to take note of the happenings. The president stated that the idea now prevailing that The Globe would nat- urally have @ full account of such af- fairs, invitation or no invitation, was growing to such an extent that it was time to put a stop to it, by meking public these facts. It is a common courtesy due the press,” said Mr. Bat- tle; “we should be given press tickets to all entertainments, athletic games and such other affairs where admis- sion is charged. The Globe should re: teive official notice of entertainments that are private if they expect that these be mentioned in a current issue of the paper.” The president cited several instances in the past football and baseball seasons, where the man ager of teams had absolutely refusec to give press tickets and yet expecter at the same time a big write-up, giv ing prominence to the team and play ers. If representatives of the pres \are expected to be on hand to tak note of the happenings they must b furnished with the proper courtesy at all times. This was the final action in disposing of the matter in the meet- ing. There were other important mat- ters discussed, the important one be- ing a suggestion by the treasurer, H. A. Boyd, about the getting out of a special Nashville edition of the Globe about 32 or 64 pages. This will be dis- cussed further before final ar‘ion is taken, When begun it will be pushed to completion. Every business and profession in the city among the Ne -groes will have space allotted to them. ‘They will be asked to co-operate an ‘effort to show what advantages Nash- ville really offers in a business and professional way. “The City Beautiful” section of this edition {s to include all the residences owned by the race in this city. sang eit ENDORSES NATIONAL BAPTIST SEWING MACHINE. ‘The Supply Department of the Na- tional Baptist Publishing House re- ceived this letter from one of the leading families in the city: Fairview Avenue, Southwest, Nashville, Tenn,, April 8, 1908.

NEGRO BANKS NOT KNOWN. The announcement made earl, in January that The Nashville Globe would contain a financial column that would pay strict attention to the financial interest and the money market so far as the Negro is concerned, and a bank directory giving information concerning the location, the officers and the capital stock and amount of money handled from all the Negro banks or concerns doing a banking business in the United States owned and operated by Negroes, was hailed with delight by many readers of what is considered to be one of the best journals published in the race. The movement has met with considerable encouragement, and to be sure it has given out a deal of information to thousands of people who knew nothing about the Negroes in the banking world. Already letters are being received, not only by The Cube, but by some of the banks that have given their cards to be run in the bank directory. A very prominent, well-to-do and extremely intelligent gentleman, a member of the race living in the North, who has never been sufficiently able to conquer his pride for the liberties accorded to him in that section of the country, or dispense with his prejudice against the reported treatment of his people in the South long enough to visit this section of the country, but who is deeply interested in the advancement of the Negro in every line of business, has been attracted by the financial column and the financial moves contained in The Globe since January. The gentleman is Mr. C. A. Dickson, of Buffalo, N. Y., who states in a letter under date of March 17 the following: "Possibly you may know of some colored bank of which I might be able to get one or more shares of stock. I would be glad to leave for my foster-niece, when I die, stock in every colored bank in the United States; not so much as an investment, but VOL. III. (Continued on Page 11.) The above is a likeness of Mr. G W. McKissack, the popular brick contractor. Mr. McKissack learned the trade in this city while serving his apprenticeship under his father. Soon after he reached the years of his majority he secured a position in Clarksville, Tenn., where he remained for a long time. From that place he went to Louisville, Ky., working on some of the largest contracts being let in that city at that time. Mr. McKissack was for a long time employed by the Standard Oil Co., to do special work for that company. He worked a good many years in Chicago for some of the largest contractors NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. M. G. W. McKISSACK. The Popular Brick Contractor WE QUOTE AS FOLLOWS A FEW THINGS: in the world, among them being the firms of Angus-Gurley and Raycraft & Togan. Mr. McKissack was one of the leading workmen on the Illinois Central Railroad station building when it was being constructed. Mr. McKissack returned to his home city a few years ago and entered into the contracting and building and to-day he stands among the foremost contractors in the South. He employs only finished workmen, and keeps busy all the time. Mr. McKissack has worked for all of the leading contractors in this city and any of them would be glad to secure his services at any time. PART TWO. JESSAMINE ART CLUB. The Jessamine Art Club was entertained recently at the home of Mrs. C. E. Dickerson on Almeda street. Mrs. Dickerson was assisted in her duties as hostess by Mrs. M. D. Dwiggins and Mrs. Lizzie Cheatham. There was a large attendance of members present and several club guests. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. W. H. Allison. The subject under discussion was "How women should dress," and several interesting talks were made. This was followed by a social hour in which an impromptu musical program was rendered and refreshments served. The next monthly meeting will be held with Mrs. S. Irvin, Phillips street. The subject will be "Woman in Business." Little Misses Alberta Watkins, Madalene Dunlap and Mary Merrill gave an egg hunt Tuesday, April 14, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Merrill, 1901 Jefferson street, from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Various games were played after finding the eggs. The prize was a silk handkerchief, which was won by Master Edd Watkins. Those present were Misses Lillian Dixon, Mattie Evans, Maggie Flemins, Ollie M. Dale, Elsie Dale, Consulo Merrill, Messrs. Claude H. Toney, Thomas A. Marten, James Johnson, Edd Watkins, Howard Watkins, Milton Young and Archie Turner. Ices, cakes and fruits were served by little Miss Dunlap. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.

On last Thursday evening Miss Annie Mae Neely entertained in a delightful manner a few of her friends at her home, 906 Cedar street. One unique feature of the sociable was that the young ladies arrived unattended, and then to their surprise, met the young men, who were alone. EGG HUNT. St. Louis, Mo. April 13.—With fitting ceremony, in the presence of an enormous crowd of sympathizing and sorrowing friends, the funeral services over the late Prof. Arthur D. Langston, who died at his residence 3540 S. Jefferson street, this city, Tuesday, April 7, were held in the All Saints' Episcopal Church, corner Garrison avenue and Locust street, Thursday, April 9. Rev. M. C. B. Mason, D. D., Secretary of the Freedmen's Educational Society of the M. E. Church, with headquarters in Cincinnati, officiated. Rev. Mason delivered an eloquent sermon and eulogy over the deceased. The interment was made in the vault of the Calvary Cemetery, although temporarily, pending the decision of the family with respect to shipping the body to Washington, where the remains of the father of the deceased, John Mercer Langston, now lie. The school principals who acted as pall-bearers for the occasion were E. S. Williams of the Dessalines, M. B. Vaughn of the Attucks, J. Arthur Freeman of the Wheatley, R. H. Cole of the Simmons, A. J. Gossin and Wm. H. Huffman of the Sumner High School. The addresses delivered over the remains of the deceased were highly eulogistic of the character and work he had performed as a teacher and coworker. Those who spoke were Assistant Superintendent Rathman, Principals E. D. Lucky, of the John Marshall School; Chas, H. Brown, of the Bannaker; Dr. J. H. Foy, of the Patrick Henry; Edward S. Williams, of the Dessalines; W. C. Dyer, of the Sigel; A. G. Gossin, of the Sumner High School; J. S. Usher, of the Delaney. A letter was read from O. M. Waring, of the Sumner High School. Assistant Superintendent Rathman, who had the immediate supervision of the district in which the Dumas School is located, paid Prof. Langston a high tribute, characterizing him as one of the ablest, most conscientious and energetic teachers of the corps, who had attained extraordinary success, because he had realized in his No.15.
