THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. Editing a Large Daily Paper in This City. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF TRUE CONDITIONS. OR BLINDED BY PREJUDICE OR MEANNESS—EDITOR OF THE AMERICAN TAKEN TO TASK—STATEMENTS MISLEADING CONCERNING NEGROES AND RAILROADS — PROMINENT CITIZEN RECENTLY SUBJECTED TO IN-HUMAN TREATMENT—THIRTY-FOUR HOURS WITHOUT FOOD. To The Nashville Globe: The enclosed copy is an editorial from the Nashville American, Tuesday, April 21. "PROSECUTION "This appears to be all the present administration thinks about, prosecuting somebody. "The Department of Justice, declared a member of Congress, was a department of ignorance. "Bringing it close home, the dispatches announced daily the last week that the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. St. Louis Railway is to be prosecuted for failure to equalize the service of white man and black. Four or five nigger bishops went to Washington and told Roosevelt this road did not sweep out the car the Bishops were put in, and that the rules of the company, not counting the laws of the State, forbade niggers eating and sleeping with white people, and that is the whole grievance. "The complaining negroes do not want equal accommodations. They want to share the same accommodations. "Roosevelt listened to the Bishops and told the Department of Justice, so the dispatches say, and suit was ordered. Why not submit to the Interstate Commerce Commission or to A. M. Tillman for the purpose of learning whether there's any distinction of cars and service on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway? It is astonishing how constantly the rights or wrongs of the nigger engage the philanthropy of these miserably ignorant people living north of the Ohio."—Nashville American. I ask that the Negro readers of The Nashville Globe read this editorial with care and then talk it over with their white neighbors. It may be possible, and, in fact, it is highly probable that the great masses of the white readers are misled by such false, misleading, ignorant editorial rot as the above, and do not know what respectable Negro citizens are undergoing who are forced to travel upon the public thoroughfares South of the Ohio river. The editor closes his editorial by referring to the ignorant people living North of the Ohio. If the editor of the Nashville American attempted to say that the Negroes who travel on the railroads south of the Ohio river receive accommodations equal to respectable horses or cattle that are shipped over the road, he himself is one of the most ignorant men living south of the Ohio, or so blinded by prejudice that he would not see if he could. The writer travels continuously in all parts of the United States, and since there is no such thing as a man receiving passes or transportation, it goes without saying that he either buys a first-class ticket or beats his way on the railroads. I now say, for the benefit of the editor of the Nashville American, first, that I am a Negro, but not a bishop. I do not belong to the Methodist Church. I have never made a complaint to any court, or even to the state or interstate railroad commission, for I felt that it was useless. The state commissioners are as prejudiced and as blind as the editor who wrote this editorial. But I now make the assertion, and if the editor of the American is the honest gentleman that the public takes him to be, he will investigate my assertions and then give the readers of his paper as full account of existing conditions as he has of the falsehood. I make the following assertions and I am willing to go before a notary NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1908. [Name not visible in the image] public and swear to them. A self-respecting Negro can ride from Louisville, Ky., on the L. & N. Railroad to New Orleans, La., without being able to get a meal of victuals or smoke a cigar. A decent Negro woman riding over the same road will be forced to go from Louisville, Ky., to New Orleans, La., without the relief of a lavatory or closet unless she so casts off her modesty and respect as to go into a closet or lavatory frequented and visited by rough, railroad section hands and important, rough, drunken white men. The same is true traveling over the N. C. & St. L. Railroad from Martin, or Memphis, Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga. Even in the proud city of Nashville, a self-respecting Negro cannot get a lunch or a cup of coffee at the railroad lunch counter without so humiliating himself or herself as to go in, beg for it with his hat in his hand, and go stand out of doors to drink it or eat his stale lunch that he has paid two prices for in the same humiliating way. Being unwilling to disobey orders, marched into the other part and threw away my cigar. Before reaching Chattanooga, as the train was delayed, I began to inquire in the dining car if I could get something to eat, having not eaten any thing since seven o'clock that morning. I was informed by one of the Negro waiters that it was possible I could get something after all of the white people had eaten and left the dining car. Two or three sporting men who wanted to discuss their games remained at the table until half past nine o'clock. I complained four or five times, but the conductor said these gentlemen were not ready to leave the dining car. However, he allowed the Negro waiter to bring me a lunch into the old dirt coach, and I had to pay him $1.00 for so doing. I rode in this coach to Jacksonville, Fla., arriving there something after twelve o'clock the next day. On my return trip I came from C. On April 7, I bought a first-class ticket from the N. C. & St. L. Railway ticket office in the Maxwell House, round trip from Nashville, Tenn., to Ocala, Fla., by way of Jacksonville, Fla. The initial number of this ticket was 2904. Check number, 366R. I give the date and number of this ticket so that if the editor of the Nashville American feels disposed to do so he may look it up. The train was due to leave Nashville at 12:17 p. m. It was, however, delayed in reaching its destination owing to trouble on the railroad. On entering the Negro coach, I found it an old worn-out, dilapidated, fithy, disrespectable, cast-off coach, with no towels or washbasins for the convenience of those who occupied it. The coach adjoining it, prepared for white people, was a first-class day coach with all of the modern accommodations—washhowls, towels, lavatory for gentlemen and one for ladies, besides a smoking room for gentlemen. A part of the old dilapidated coach was used for white emigrants, work hands, drunkards, convicts and white rufians. The front part of the coach for Negroes was used as a plunder room for the white "butcher," conductor's plunder room and for porters and white railroad loafers to smoke, talk, chew tobacco and do everything else they felt disposed. These railroad employees use the one lavatory at will. There was in the car with me a settled lady and a young lady, together with some other little girl children. Not feeling willing to smoke in the presence of strange ladies another Negro and myself went in the other part of this rough, cast-off coach, in order to get a few draughts or whiffs from our cigars to settle our stomachs and cast off some of the stench of the old coach, and the conductor addressed the Negro porter in about the following language, "Fire those Negroes into the other end of the coach." Being unwilling to disobey orders, I marched into the other part and threw away my cigar. Before reaching Chattanooga, as the train was delayed, I began to inquire in the dining car if I could get something to eat, having not eaten anything since seven o'clock that mornin. I was informed by one of the Negro waiters that it was possible I could get something after all of the white people had eaten and left the dining car. Two or three sporting men who wanted to discuss their games remained at the table until half past nine o'clock. I complained four or five times, but the conductor said these gentlemen were not ready to leave the dining car. However, he allowed the Negro waiter to bring me a lunch into the old dirty coach, and I had to pay him $1.00 for so doing. I rode in this coach to Jacksonville, Fla., arriving there some thing after twelve o'clock the next day. On my return trip I came from Orlanda, April 12, about ten o'clock in the morning after a seven o'clock breakfast. Catching the fast Florida & Chicago Limited, making close connections at Jacksonville, I was continuously on the train until five o'clock p. m. April 13. I caught the same old coach from Jacksonville, Fla., to Nashville, Tenn., and was unable to secure anything to eat until Monday between eleven and twelve o'clock. After going into the dining car and inquiring four or five times and appealing to the conductor, I was informed that they were waiting for two passengers to get up in the Pullman, and after they were up and had breakfast, I might be allowed to eat I am glad to state that thirty-two minutes after ten I was notified that I could have some breakfast, of which opportunity I was glad to avail my self. Arriving home at five o'clock, I found myself suffering considerably from stomach troubles and was compelled to call in my family physician, Dr. W. R. Baker, of Nashville. I was confined to my bed more than forty-eight hours from being forced to do without food. It was not for the lack of money to pay for this, for I had $250 in my pocket and was willing to spend freely for accommodation. In closing this article I beg to state for the benefit of the editor, that I have on file copies of several letters that I have written to the management of the L. & N. Railroad, the N. C. & St. L. Railroad and the Southern Railroad concerning the mistreatment on their trains from time to time. I have talked with the traveling passenger agents of each of these roads, who said they did not think that the management of the railroads had full knowledge of this mistreatment. I then took the privilege of writing to the passenger departments of mistreatment on their roads, and have the courtesy of a reply promising to look into matters. It is now time that every self-respecting Negro should see to it that the spirit and letter of the law of the separate accommodation clause be carried out, or that the courts prove their blasness by judgment. R. H. BOYD. 523 Second avenue, N., Nashville, Tenn. BRILLIANT GATHERING. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Blaine Boyd was the scene of a beautiful social gathering on Wednesday evening, April 22.

April 28, as announced, but the vicar will announce at the services on Sunday the date of the Bishop's visitation FASTER SERVICES: The Easter services at the Zion Baptist Church, East Nashville, were impressive and appropriate.

Much credit is due the organist, Mrs. Maria Lou Petway, who made such an excellent selection of songs for the choir. Rev. J. Kell, the pastor, was loud in his praise of the service. EAST LYNNVILLE NOTES. The school at this place taught by Mrs. M. K. Buford, of Nashville, closed last Friday night with excellent exercises. The participants showed the training and earnest work of the teacher. The scarf drill was simply fine. The house was crowded and all enjoyed themselves. The Leap Year entertainment given by the teachers and school for the purpose of buying lamps and purchasing lumber to build a stage was quite a success. Mrs. Mary Rutledge, who has been very sick, is able to be out again. Mrs. Lula Rutledge, who was very sick at Columbia, has moved back to her old home. She is recovering gradually. Mrs. Eliza Gordon, who has been ill for some time, was able to worship at her church Sunday, April 12. Mrs. Ethel Braden was been on the sick list for two weeks. The young people enjoyed an egg hunt Sunday afternoon at the home of Miss Mary Marsh. Mr. and Mrs. "Bud' Vincent and Miss Akins, of Columbia, spent Easter with relatives and friends here. Dr. J. S. Shoffner, of Nashville, visited relatives recently. We hear that he will practise dentistry at Pulaski. Mrs. Buford left Monday to visit friends at Culleoka. She will go from there to Nashville. Before leaving, Mrs. Buford was the honoree at several dinners and suppers. Mr. Gus Cox lost a fine mule recently from eating too much. FRANKLIN NOTES. Mrs. Emma Dee Caldwell, of Kansas City, little Ethel May Farrell and Mabel McGavock, of Nashville, spent from Saturday until Monday with their cousin, Mrs. J. E. Ewing, Jr. Mrs. Caldwell is now visiting her mother, Mrs. Farrell. She will leave for Kansas City in a few weeks, where she will join her husband, Mr. Thomas Caldwell. No.16 METHODIST HOLD MASS=MEEETING WILL URGE UPON GENERAL CONFERENCE THEIR CLAIM. MERCHANTS DEEPLY INTERESTED IN THE AFFAIR—NASHVILLE BANNER PRESENTS STRONG EDITORIAL IN FAVOR OF KEEPING PLANT HERE—BOARD OF TRADE WILL BE URGED TO TAKE WHATEVER STEPS NECESSARY TO RETAIN THE PUBLISHING HOUSE. At a mass-meeting held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church on Wednesday night the citizens of Nashville expressed fully their appreciation of the A.M.E. Sunday School Union Publishing House. An effort was made to hold a meeting a week earlier, but the attendance was not what was expected, the bad weather keeping many away. But Wednesday night was ideal and the church was packed to overflowing. The Nashville Banner of April 21 had the following to say editorially: "The reported possibility of the removal of the A. M. E. Publishing House from Nashville should arouse the business interests of the city and under the direction of the Board of Trade such steps as may be deemed best should be taken to prevent the removal. It is stated that the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which is to meet in Norfolk next month, will take into consideration the concentration of the publishing interests of the church and the consolidation of the four houses now maintained severally at Philadelphia, Nashville, Topeka, Kan., and Columbus, Ga., into one great concern. Nashville is the great publishing centre of the South, and this city should be by its location much better adapted for the publishing house of this large and progressive denomination of colored Methodists than any other city in the country." Dr. Chappelle, the secretary-treasurer of the department, was approached by a Globe representative. He was in a jovial mood and did not look like a man who has spent many sleepless nights to bring the department of his church up to the high standard it now holds in the business world. When asked concerning the probable moving of the publishing house to some other city he said he had merely put the people on guard. The Doctor showed the representative through the printing departments. The large Optimus presses were spinning away at a lively clip, getting out an extra supply of Sunday-school quarterlies; everybody was busy. In a way of reviewing the work of the past eight years he said: "Eight years ago, when we took charge of this department, the pay roll per month was three hundred and forty dollars, now it is more than one thousand dollars per month. This is in addition to the wear and tear expenses, and the purchase of our outfit in machinery, etc. When we took charge there was a balance outstanding of nearly six thousand dollars, during our first quadrenium that was paid, and seventeen thousand dollars' worth of machinery bought during the same period and about twelve thousand dollars paid in cash upon the same. Since that time we have added one Optimus press at a cost of two thousand five hundred dollars, besides we have had to buy some minor machinery, raised the salaries of every hand in the house, because of the price of living, and have paid off that five thousand nine hundred twenty-seven dollars, twenty-three-cents since the last General Conference, and still have money in the bank." On Wednesday night at St. Paul A. M. E. Church a mass-meeting was held by the African Methodists to petition the General Conference to establish the proposed publishing house in this city. The following resolutions were adopted: Nashville, Tenn., April 22, 1908. To the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, to be held at Norfolk, Va., May 4, 1908: Whereas. It has come to our notice. GEO. W. McKISSACK, Contractor, Builder and Practical Bricklayer He has always been able to please the homefolks. He has contracted for and erected some of the most substantial buildings in the city.

Whereas, We also learn that there is a movement on foot to consolidate all the publishing houses into one great concern; and. II. Whereas, Nashville is more centrally located, as regards African Methodist Episcopal Churches, than any other city in the United States; and, Whereas, The African Methodists in particular, and the citizens in general, pledge themselves to contribute as much, if not more, than any other city; and moneyed men are making most liberal offers of property in order to retain our publishing House in Nashville; and, Whereas, The city of Nashville has more kindred publishing houses or houses publishing religious literature, than any city south of the Ohio river, and they are all helpful to each other; and, Whereas, We, the members of the African Methodist Episcopal Churches, feel that the removal of this plant from our city would be detrimental to the commercial, educational and spiritual interests of our churches in the city of Nashville, and the state of Tennessee, and our General Connection; and, Whereas, We believe that a gigantic Publishing House, such as has been proposed, would do much toward encouraging and stimulating church pride in our young people, and tend to intuse renewed life into our membership generally, and give greater impetus to our church work; therefore be it Resolved, That, while we feel that your august body will prayerfully consider this matter, and will act according to what in its wise judgment will be for the best interests of the Connection, yet we do most humbly beseech that you will carefully weigh the reasons herein set forth, and that your decision may coincide with the prayer of the people of Nashville, and of the state of Tennessee, namely, that you will decide favorably the establishment of the proposed great Publishing House in the city of Nashville, Tenn. Signed: Committee—D. A. Hart, J. Redmon, Chas. W. Rick, Geo. R. O. Grady, R. H. Early, Mrs. M. E. Davis, Secretary; C. S. Randals, Chairman A commission was appointed to present the claims of the African Methodists of Nashville to this institution. The following named persons constitute that committee: Rev Wm. Flagg, Chairman; Rev G. L. Jackson, Rev C. H. Boone, Rev A. W. Lewis, Rev A. N. Smith, Mr. D. A. Hart, and several ladies. Others will probably be added to the commission. A committee was appointed to lay the matter before the Board of Trade. Several of the largest cities in the country will have commissions before the General Conference asking for this publishing house. The cities most active at this time are Atlanta, Ga., and St. Louis, Mo. The merchants of these cities are urging their Boards of Trade to put forth every effort to secure this enterprise and unless empowered to offer liberal inducements one of the cities referred to above will more than likely secure the enterprise. Those appointed to act in this case were Rev. Wm. Flagg, chairman; Mr. A. W. Brown, Mr. John Adams. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 24. 1908 Signed: Mr. D. A. Hart and Mr. C. S. Randals. The Church proposes to erect a building sufficient to accommodate all of the printing done in the Connection, which means a volume of business amounting to over a hundred thousand dollars annually. LADIES' AID SOCIETY. The Ladies' Aid Society of Seay's Chapel, South Nashville, gave an entertainment recently at the church, which was a great success. There was a fine program rendered. The speakers were Miss Ella Finley, Mrs. Ruth Martin and Ida Mays, also the pole-plaiting by twelve little girls. Refreshments of all kinds were served. The money raised by the society at their entertainment was $17.00 SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. Easter was celebrated in a most befitting manner. The church was beautifully decorated with illies and graniums. Sunday-school was called to order at half-past nine a. m. After the regular exercises the lesson was taught by Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor. The exposition was practical, concise and effective. An excellent programme was rendered, consisting of songs and recitations calculated to impress the importance of sending the Gospel to the heathen. Easter offering envelopes which had been distributed one month ago were collected and opened. Each contained a liberal offering for missions. Just before closing remarks by pastor each pupil was presented a china egg. The attendance was large. STORM PARTY. The members and friends of Mt. Zion Baptist Church gave their pastor, Rev. S. A. Matheus, a storm party Wednesday night. The party was in the nature of a surprise and on the arrival of the guests, who had marched from the church in a body. Rev. Matheus opened the doors of his home to the most pleasant surprise he had experienced in many a day. There was a valuable collection of household furnishings, eatables and many useful necessities. On assembling at the house the merry party began singing, "Stand the storm, for it won't be long." After they had been welcomed into the family circle and had explained their mission, the various articles were assorted. The pastor, who entered good-naturedly into the spirit of the evening, on learning that all the good things were for him, had not words to express his appreciation. His son, Master Herman, in eloquent words, spoise the sentiments of the entire family, in thanking the members and friends for their loving remembrance. At the close of the evening a delicious ice course was served and the friends departed carrying with them the blessings of Rev. Mr. Matheus and family. RUCKER—DRAKE. A marriage of much interest to their many friends was that of Mr. Albert Rucker and Miss Bettie Will Drake, which took place at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. R. T. Leath, last Thursday evening, the Rev. G. B. Taylor officiating. The bride was handsomely attired in pale blue silk mull, lace trimmed; her tulle veil was caught in place with a spray of orange blossoms and she carried a bouquet of bride's roses and maidenhair fern. Dainty refreshments were served. A number of useful and valuable presents were received, which attested the popularity of the young couple. They will be at home to their friends at 422 Twelfth avenue, North. MEETING OF H. T. G. M. Miss Hazel Thompson entertained the H. T. G. M. Club Saturday evening, April 18. Music and progressive whist were the features of amusement, Miss Lillian Bright won first prize, a linen dresser scarf. Miss Polk Berry received the booby, an elk head cream pitcher. The young ladies had their fortunes told by the wizard of the club. A delightful luncheon was served. The guest was Miss Lady Emma Phillips. The next meeting will be with Miss Georgia Watkins, 1505 Twelfth avenue, South, May 2. The members of the Young Men's Literary Club have been enjoying some very interesting meetings during the last month, beginning March 15, and ending April 2. On March 16 they gathered at the residence of Mr. Overton Carter. On account of inclement weather the attendance was not up to the ordinary, but the "faithful few" transacted all important business and then enjoyed a literary treat. After this was over, Mr. Carter served an elaborate course of ices, cakes and fruit. Then following, on March 23, the club convened at the residence of Mr. Eugene Berry. This meeting had better attendance, but was not perfect. Nevertheless a literary pro gram was rendered, the main feature being a Dunbar recitation by Mr. Berry. Having completed.all, Mr. Berry invited us into the ice cream-parlor and there satisfied our appetites as well as our desires with the cold repast. Mr. Berry then extended an invitation to return the next Monday night, April 6, which was accepted. On April 13, the club assembled at the residence of Mr. M. Douglass, of 1805 1-2 State street. One of the first acts of the club was to welcome to their midst Mr. Willie Summers, who had just returned from Chandler, Okla., where his mother was buried. After the program, Mr. Douglass served a two-course menu of cake, fruit and other delicacies. ENDORSEMENT.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1908. DR. ROMAN RETURNS. After a Brief Stay at the Tuskegee Industrial and Mechanical Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala. Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted specialist of this city, has returned to his home after a brief professional visit to Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. On Sunday evening he lectured in the chapel, of which "The Tuskegee Student" of April 18, has the following to say: Last Sunday evening in our Chapel, after the regular vesper exercises, Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., maded a talk which was of very great interest and help to all who listened to him. Dr. Roman came to Tuskegee with a considerable reputation as a speaker. "He has written much and has lectured considerably throughout the country. His talk to our students and teachers altogether justified the reputation he enjoys as a thinker and speaker. A meager report of what he had to say is presented in the following: A schoolboy was once asked to give a definition of reason, and to show the difference between reason and instinct, which he did as follows: "Reason is what we has, and instinct is what the beasts has. Them that has instinct knows what to do, without study, and them what has reason must study their eyes out or else be fools." Thus was this youthful philosopher, led by budding reason to recognize the greatest problem of one's existence, namely, how to act wisely concerning our surroundings and associations. The only difference between men and animals is the power of thought. This has led to the use of tools and fire by man. Thus man controls environment, while animals are controlled by it. There is a great tendency for youth to be impractical and to dream of what they can do in other surroundings and under other conditions. The real test of what one would likely do in new surroundings is the way he does the old. Faithless in a few things, one is likely to be worthless in many things, if opportunity offers. Doing the little duty at hand prepares one for doing the great duty to come. Every one can do his part, however small. This was illustrated by a folklore story of an ancient king who desired to be famous by furnishing everything necessary for the building of a great church. After all his efforts and expenditures the glory finally went to a poor and unknown woman who, in pity, had ministered to one of the struggling teams hauling material for the great edifice. "The best rewards," Dr. Roman counsel, "come to those who act opportunely within their environment." Dr. Roman is a clear philosopher, and is at much at home on the platform as he is in his office. His lecture delivered recently at St. John A. M. E. Church, this city, will long be remembered. There is a general desire on the part of the people to hear him again and he will be asked to give them another opportunity. REV. SALE VISITS ROGER WILL- LAMS There was in this city one day this week Rev. Geo. Sale, D. D., the Educational Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, whose headquarters are at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Sale has charge of the Home Mission Society schools among Negroes in the United States. It is supposed that his visit here was in connection with the proposed dormitory to be erected at Roger Williams University this summer. This conclusion was reached because immediately upon his arrival in the city Tuesday he went directly to the university and a hurried call to the board members of the university was made for a special meeting on Tuesday evening. It has not yet been learned just what transpired at this meeting. Yet there are plans well under way for the beginning of the excavation for the foundation of the three-story building that is almost sure to be erected within the next three months and ready for occupancy early in September. The university is getting some substantial assistance from several quarters and will no doubt receive a handsome financial boost when the Tennessee Baptist State Convention convenes in this city in July, as extra preparations are being made for a large delegation. They will visit the university site, and undoubtedly be inspired to do greater things. EASTER EGG PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. S. R.

Harris, the Sunday-school connected with the church had what was known as a "Texas Social and Louisiana Hen's Nest." Every lady present placed an egg, with her name written thereon, in a sack upon entering the door of the church. Every man upon entering the door of the church drew an egg from the sack and the lady whose name was inscribed thereon was the company of that man who drew the egg. The Louisiana "Hen's Nest' contained one egg and 50 cents in a loaf of bread. The evening was passed very pleasantly and the results more than exceeded the expectations of the promoters of the entertainment. On Sunday morning the Sunday-school met at 9:30 o'clock, the usual hour, and at once began the rendition of the special Easter program. Miss Mary Reed, the popular soprano, conducted the singing, and Miss Jennie P. Dunson very acceptable presided at the piano. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was of a high order and the renditions pleased the large audience which completely filled the church. Messrs. W. G. Upshaw and S. F. Williams, of Fisk University, were the speakers of the morning and dwelt for some time upon "Our Duty as Christians." The addresses were interesting, instructive and helpful. At the eleven o'clock service there was a large audience. Dr. Townsend preached an eloquent Easter discourse. At the afternoon service Dr. Hammond delivered the annual sermon of the I. O. I. The auditorium, which was beautifully decorated with potted plants, was packed to its utmost capacity. At night the usual Sunday night services were held. ALSTON—HOBEART. Miss Hattie Hobeart, formerly of Nashville, was quietly married last Wednesday in St. Louis to Mr. Green Alston.

THE ISSUR. The one overshadowing issue in Dayidson County and the congression- al district of which this is the most populous county, is whether the peo- ple who compose the republican party shall have the right to dictate the polli- cies of the party or whether a commit- tee shall delegate to itself the power to perpetuate its rule irrespective of the wishes of the masses by snap con- vention methods. The issue is clearly drawn and no one who believes in fairness, no one who believes that the republican party is of the people, by the people and for the people, will find any doubt as to which convention is founded npon the basic principles of the party. In the committee-named convention we find, first of all, an effort to pre- vent the mass of the party from participating in the election of dele- gates by so arranging the call and the time allowed for the qualification of delegates as to prevent any republican newspaper from publishing the pro- cedings. We find still further, that in the event this plan to keep the mass- es of the pariy from participating failed, that it was proposed to disquali- fy, if possible, a majority of the voters in the proposed primary by demand- ing a registration certificate as a pre- requisite to voting. This, too, at a time when it would have been impos- sible for many voters who had changed their places of residence since the last general registration of August, 1907, to secure new registration certi- ficates. It is still further shown, to the detriment of the committee, that 80 anxious was it to perpetuate its rule, that it called a convention to elect delegates to something that had ot been called into’ existence by the State Commiitee. There has been called a convention for May 15, which will pemnit every republican to participate. It has none of the earmarks of snap methods as a full notice has been given to the members of the party through the only republican secular newspaper in Davidson County, and ag well through the columns of the daily press. No attempt is made to disfron- chise voters. No cloak is used to cov- er trickery. No attempt is made to avoid publicity. Simply an old-fash- joned republican convention where those who compose a majority of the party, having been duly notified, can come together and select delegates to district convention and, if necessary, inform these delegates as to how they shall vote in instructing the delegates to the Chicago Convention. | With these lines drawn so clearly i eae - by those two conventions in their method of procedure, should there be any doubt as to which should have the endorsement of fair-minded men? With such a sharp contrast between star chamber proceedings upon the one side and the open and above hoard square-dealing upon the other, ought there be the slightest question as to which could be and will be rep- resentative of the will of the party in Davidson County? With svch a dis similarity between the method of bringing in the mames of all the dele- gates, platform and other conyention- al proceedings in type-written form, as it is claimed was done by the boss of the committee-named conyention, and the free expression to be vouch- safed the members of the party in the coming convention, need any voter hesilate as to which is the true, regu- lar, square-deal convention? The voice of the rank and file was not heard in the committee-named convention, but it will be heard and, we think, in no unmistakable terms on the fifteenth of May. * THE DAMAGE 8UIT.. The Globe is facing, for the first time, a suit for damages. One Mr. William Silvers, has brought suit for $10,000 damages, on account of an ar- ticle which appeared in the news col- umns of this paper. We are not dis- posed to try our case in the columus of this paper, though, for the informa- tion of the public, which seems so deeply concerned in its welfare, we feel called upon to make a statement of our position, The primary aim of the Globe is to dispense news concerning the welfare of the colored people of Nashville and in keeping with the duty imposed upon us as pittveyors of news we must publish current events of inter- est whether they please the persons participating in them or not. Espe- elally is this duty incumbent upon us When such happenings concern men in public life. The Globe is proud of the colored company in the local fire department and we believe that every colored citi- zen likewise has great love for it. We Want to see the company maintained as long as there is a fire department in the city and would in every way guard its good name. In order that such might be the case, the members of the company must so deport them- selves in private as well as in public as to be above suspicion. They are public servants and as such must ex- pect to be criticized. We would be recreant to our duty to the race should we, as is charged frequently by members of the other race, seek to cover up alleged irregu- larities upon the part of the men of the race who are in public life. Such a course, by the immutable law of ac- tion and reaction, would more serious: ly injure the race than it wonld hene- fit the man whose alleged wrong do- ings we had shielded. Such a course pursued in regard to the fire company would soon force every man of the race from the department, ‘The Globe is not an iconoclast-—we do not wish to destroy just for the pleasure received from the destruc- tion, we do not criticize merely for the pleasure to be received from criti- cism—but we criticize for the purpose of doing good. Articles appearing in our columns may not and, we are cer- tain, do not, always please every one and we would not be so tdiotic as to think for a moment that they did, but our columns are and have always been open to anyone who did not agree with anything published, providing they respected the rules at the head of these columns. As to Mr, Silvers, our columns have been open to him and he was so informed, but since he has decided to take his case to the court, he will find that The Globe is not a quitter, or, to express it in race horse phraseology, he will find that The Globe is not a quarter mile horse, TACTLESS. As long as Southern Congressmen train their rhetorical batteries and fire incessantly, as it were, at Negro dis- franchisement, as did the Hon. Jim Greggs, of Georgia, in the House of Representatives last week, there is lit- tle prospect of the democratic party carrying a northern state in a presi- dential election. If ever there were a time when tact was needed by the democrats in dealing with the race question, now is the time. The party is about to enter a contest in which its prospects for success are brighter than for twelve years, providing it uses tact, But tact seems to be one element lacking in mest of the members of Congress from the South, ‘The democratic Congressmen from the South lack tact but are they not successful strategists? Do they really want to break the solid North? It would appear that they prefer ihe North solid in order that the South will remain in a like condition. These statesmen of the Griggs order know what kind of buncombe that will keep down serious opposition to their own clection and proceed to use it regard- less of the welfare of the party to which they belong. To them the race problem is a matter of being re. elected, * Never Mind What They Say. EEE DO MAKE THE MAN.

His argument that President Roosevelt, having ex- pressed repeatedly his conviction that most if not all of the troopers were guilty of a knowledge of the af- fray, makes him incompetent as a judge, is unanswerable, and those speaking in defense of Mr. Roosevelt recognize the fact. Brownsville will not down until justice has been done to the innocent soldiers. People riding on the street cars should obey the law. If anyone does not care to abide by the rules of tne company and the laws of the state, he should keep off the cars. Actions like thoséreported of a number of young men on a car this week, where down right rowdyism is charged, has and should have the condemnation of all law-abiding citizens. We do not be- lieve that anyone should be compelled to accept the bullyings of conductors nor do we believe that conductors should be bullied by a reckless gang of boys. To demand respect one must act respectable and to enjoy the benefits of the law one must be law- abiding. This is a Big Thing!

The Negroes of Nashville should be proud of the efforts put forth by the promoters in preparing a place be- yond the noise and heat of the crowded city, where they can spend many delightful Sunday afternoons in the shade. Yet there seems to have been a lack of appreciation on the part of some who came Sunday in buggies and thoughtlessly tied their horses to the young trees, injuring the bark and the roots.

Meeting of Feb. 12 Was "Travesty Upon Rights"—Republicans of the Sixth District Condemn Unfairness—Say Alleged Knew Voters Were Not Registered. 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 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 delegate for each 200 votes and majority fraction thereof cast for Roose- $8,100 THIS SE This is your free opportunity on it.

Important Features The reason for this grand free distribution of awards is simply to advertise the Kimball Piano. The W. W. Kimball Co., the largest manufacturers of pianos in the world, desiring to impress the name, "Kimball," indelibly upon the minds of all who may now or at some future time need a piano, makes this great offer. It is the custom these days with many manufacturers to spend large sums yearly in expensive magazine advertising. The Kimball Company prefer to advertise their pianos in a more direct way, going straight to the people and offering these awards. The advertising results are thus obtained for the Kimball piano, and the people benefit to the extent of thousands of dollars. The W. W. Kimball Company was one of the first to establish the one-price system. Kimball pianos are sold the world over at a uniform price. They are always marked in plain figures at their lowest selling price. Purchasers of Kimball pianos always have the assurance that they get value received, their dollar going just as far as any other's. They are also assured of a genuine reduction to the full amount their certificates may call for. Kimball pianos are sold on the easy payment plan if so desired.

Before Lightweight Champion Joe Gans departed for the coast he remarked, 'I am going out there and hit straight. "I owe my present position in the ring," said the crack negro fighter; "to my ability to hit straight more than to anything else. This may sound rather strange, but it is the truth. Of course, careful living and correct training methods have aided me to outlast all of my rivals in my class. Straight hitting is the foundation of most of my success and I can prove it to you." Then the champion illustrated how TIMOTHY'S Dry Goods and Carpet Co. Third Avenue, between Union Street and Public Square. Carry the Best Stock of Carpets, The Best Assortment of Silks and Dress Goods, The Handsomest Line of Cloaks and Suits. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1908. AT2P.M. much useful energy and strength is spent in needless swinging blows and other so-called original punches. "Wait for your opportunity," continued Gans, "and when it comes avail yourself of it. The tiden of boring in and sending smashes helter skelter without reason doesn't amount to a row of pins. In the long run, save if you are a man of abnormal strength, nine times out of ten it will beat you. Every time you miss a swing it is worse than being hit. I could be the champion of the world until I was as old as Methuselah if I could have for opponents fellows who just rushed at me with swinging blows. All I would have to do would be to let them waste their renergy and when they were weakened just land one blow, a straight one, to be sure, and it would be all over in a jiffy. "Terry McGovern had the knack of hitting straight. Still he coupled his ability with occasional swings, and this helped to pave the way for his downfall. McGovern had great power behind his wallops, and when he connected one of those swings his rival was certain to collide with the floor. "I regard Bob Fitzsimmons as one of the greatest exponents of straight hitting that the prize ring has ever known," says Gans. "Fitz was a wonderful fighter, and all of his straight punches were very effective. Until age set in and his hands went back on him there were few fighters able to withstand that famous shift of his. When Fitz delivered this blow he carried the whole weight of his body with it. He executed it so deftly, too, that one marveled at its effectiveness. The truth is that Bob never tried the punch with the slightest loss of energy. When he landed it properly victory was his, as attested by his de feat of Gus Ruhlin, Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey and others. RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. Mr. John Finley, of 525 Sixth avenue, South, a highly-respected citizen of Nashville and a trustee of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, was seriously injured in a runaway accident last Monday. The horses got beyond control, and when going at a terrific speed the wagon was upset, the unfortunate man falling beneath it. He was badly bruised and it is believed that he received internal injuries. Mr. Finley is the father of Mrs. John Wendell, who a number of years ago was one of the proof-readers in the printing department of the A. M. E Church Sunday School Union. COMMUNICATION.
