THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. CONGERT BY MOZART SOCIETY Elijah Presented at Fisk Memorial Chapel. GREAT CREDIT TO CONDUCTOR AND ALL PARTICIPATING. DISTINCT SUCCESS SCORED BY SEVERAL PARTICIPANTS—SEVERAL OF THE MOST PLEASING NUMBERS LEFT OUT—CRITICAL ESTIMATE OF THE SINGERS—SUGGESTIONS BY A MUSICAL CRITIC AS TO IMPROVEMENTS. The two renditions of Mendelssohn's Elijah by the Mozart Society of Fisk University, Friday and Saturday, May 1st and 2nd, were a marked success in more ways than one. It was probably more largely attended than any previous concert of this famous organization, and the chorus scored a triumph. This last remark applies particularly to Friday evening's concert. The musical intelligence of the singers was very noticeable and refreshing, and the fire and dash with which the magnificent and difficult numbers were given, added much to the already fine reputation of the Society. The mighty climaxes were all given with due appreciation and the planissimo passages were finely executed. Without doubt the best piece of execution was "Thanks be to God," which closed the first part. If in the whole concert anything was preeminent it was the excellence of the chorus work, and, too, much credit cannot be given Prof. H. H. Wright, conductor, and Miss Alice M. Grass, who presided at the organ. The solo work was good of course, but not so good as ordinarily, in this annual concert. Some parts were distributed without much regard for adaptibility. Some singers excel in dramatic, and others in lighter scores; some in recitation and others in aria; but it seemed that this fact was, to a certain degree, lost sight of in distribution of solo parts. Mr. W. B. Merrill sang his part "If with all your hearts," preceded by the recitation, "Ye people, rend your hearts," very intelligently and with precision, as he always sings, and considering the make up of his voice, deserves much credit for his effort. This beautiful solo, however, calls for a voice more robust and one freighted with more emotion than Mr. Merrill's. Mr. J. A. Meyers took most of the tenor recitative parts, and did his work in tip-top shape. Indeed, it was almost perfect, probably the only fault being, the use of open tones on his high notes, once or twice, producing an effect undesirable and unnecessary. He had the fire, the pathos, and was in fine voice. Prof. John W. Work, Jr., whose magnificent tenor has been heard to great advantage in previous concerts of the Mozart Society, had but one solo. This, as was to have been expected, was executed faultlessly. Mr. N. W. Ryder, who sang the part of Elijah, had the burden of the concert to sustain, and did it commendably. His best work was that done on the piano passages, where his voice assumed a quality rarely found in a bass voice. He was at a considerable disadvantage in that part of Elijah is essentially baritone, and ranges quite high for the most part, and Mr. Ryder's voice is a true bass. He did not attempt more than once or twice to get those forte effects on the high notes, in which very thing, he showed consummate, good judgment; for he seemed to understand his limitations. It was unfortunate, however, that he did not have more aria work, and more so, that "It is enough" had to be omitted. It reminded one of "The play Hamlet, with Hamlet left out." Miss Elsie Taylor seemed to be the versatile genius of the production, for she took the parts of the youth, the queen, the angel and the widow, besides taking all the contralto work save the "Rest in the Lord." In the intensely dramatic parts such as that of the queen, she was at her best, but in the part of the widow she lacked NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908 the pathos of the situation. In the role of the youth she was splendid; in the purely contralto parts, she was, of course, out of her range, and did not do herself nor the part anything like justice. Her enunciation is not all that could be desired; the short words sometimes being so slightly struck that they seem almost omitted. One delightful feature of the solo work was that of Miss Alice Jones. She had but one piece to render, and it was the "O, Rest in the Lord." Miss Jones is a soprano but sang the solo well. It is true that she lacked the richness of a contralto in her lower tones, and it seemed almost presumptuous to attempt it, but she largely made up for her lack by the sweetness and simplicity of her voice, and the feeling she displayed. Without the least attempt at trying to sing, she did what she had to do with an apparent spirit of devotion to her task, which surely, to a large degree, captured her audience. Miss Marie V. Peek sang the heaviest soprano solo, "Hear ye, Israel," and did it to the greatest satisfaction. The quality of her voice, on the higher notes, was fine; her volume was full and it seemed that she never sang better. She had all the pathos the aria required, and when she finished, she had touched many a heart. When she develops her lower notes, as she has her higher ones, she will possess a fortune in her throat. Particularly speaking, it was most unfortunate that there were such omissions, as have been mentioned and especially of that beautiful angel trio, "Lift thine eyes." It seems almost unpardonable. One more minor criticism: It would be better if the soloists all sat down in front to avoid so much disturbance which the going up and down steps creates. Generally speaking, there is nothing but praise for the whole rendition and for all who took any part in it. THREE METHODIST CONFERENCES. The three largest Methodist Churches in the United States are holding their quadrennial conferences this week. The M. E., or mother Methodists, are in session at Baltimore, Md., with quite a delegation from the South. Among the prominent Negroes present at this meeting are Bishop I. B. Scott, Missionary Bishop to Africa; Rev. M. C. B. Mason, D. D., Secretary of the Freedman's Educational Bureau, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. I. Garland Penn., of the Epworth League, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.; and Rev. L. R. Jones, D. D., Editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, at New Orleans, La. The following Associated Press despatch describes the opening of the meeting: "Baltimore, May 6.—With hymns of praise and prayers for divine guidance, the twenty-fifth delegated session of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was begun here to-day. There are accredited to the Conference 787 delegates, who, with the fraternal visitors, come from twenty-four different countries and represent more than 3,000,000 communicants of the Methodist Episcopal denomination. Bishop Henry W. Warren, of Denver, Colo., who called the assemblage to order, directed attention to ecumenical character of the Church as shown in the order of devotional exercises. These were led by Bishop John H. Vincent, of Indianapolis, and taking part with him were representatives of the Church from Sweden, China and India. The Conference will meet daily, Sundays excepted, from 8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. The afternoons will be devoted to committee meetings. The A. M. E. Zion are in session in Philadelphia, Pa. Much interest is centered in this meeting on account of the vacancies to be filled in the General Officers, and the Bishops to be elected. Bishop Alexander Waters is the most prominent man in this connection. He is not only a churchman of wide reputation, but a public man of note. FOURTH ANNUAL CATALOGUE. The fourth annual catalogue of the National Athletic Association is now in the hands of the publishers. It is to be constructed in the latest style and will be unique in character. The young men who lead this aggregation should receive the support of the public. THE I. O. I. BAND. The I. O. I. Band met Sunday afternoon at their hall in Boyd Building and elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: Thomas Grant, President; P. V. S. Lindsley, Musical Director; Robert Finley, Treasurer; Isaiah Davidson, Secretary; S. S. Hughes, General Manager. A. M. E. CHURCH CONFERENCE In Session at Historic Norfolk, Virginia. HEARTY WELCOME EXTENDED BY MAYOR RIDDICK. IMMENSE THRONG IN ATTENDANCE AT THE SESSIONS-EVERY STATE REPRESENTED-DELEGATES FROM FOREIGN LANDS—MANY ELOQUENT SERMONS DELIVERED—DR. REYNOLDS WILL NOT ACCEPT REELECTION AS SECRETARY. Norfolk, Va., May 5.—The twenty-third quadrennial session of the General conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church opened at 9 o'clock Monday morning with impressive services under the direction of Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, who presided during the day. Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, whose duty it was as senior bishop of the church to call the conference to order, was absent on account of his serious illness. It is expected that the session will continue through three weeks, during which time many important questions of interest to the whole Negro race will be discussed and many prominent leaders are expected to be present. Booker T. Washington is expected; also Senator J. B. Foraker, who has been active in the Bownsville affair. The latter will deliver an address Friday night. The educational work among the Negroes in the United States will come in for much discussion. There are many prominent educators present. Some of the college presidents are expected to be promoted to the highest position in the gift of the Church—bishop—and some of the well-trained young men will be selected to fill their places. This is the largest convention of Negroes ever held in this section, hence is attracting large crowds. The opening service yesterday attracted to St. John A. M. E. Church fully 3,000 people. Many were unable to get even standing room in the large auditorium. The Negroes of Norfolk were anxious to see the leading men of their race and a large number of white people attended the opening service. Promptly at 9:30 Bishop Wesley J. Gaines called the conference to order, and led in scripture sentences. Bishop B. T. Tanner, of Jacksonville, Fla., made the opening prayer. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, of Chicago, Ill. read the first scripture lesson, and the second lesson was read by Bishop L. J. Coppin, of Philadelphia, Pa. Bishop Moses B. Salter led in singing, "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing," and the ritual services were conducted by Bishop W. B. Derrick, of Flushing, N. Y. After a selection by the choir, Bishop Gaines introduced to the congregation one of the most noted Negro pulpit orators in the country. Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D., M. D., of Nashville, Tenn., who is without question a representative of the Negro race. The sermon was practical and was punctuated with shouts of "Amen," from many throats, and other expressions. Following the sermon, one of the most pathetic prayers ever listened to was made by Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of Detroit, Mich. It was a special prayer for Bishop H. M. Turner, and Bishop J. A. Handy, two venerable prelates of the Church. Bishop Abram Grant administered Holy Communion, and the benediction followed. The afternoon session opened with Bishop Gaines presiding. Rev. Dr. L. H. Reynolds, who has served as secretary since 1896, called the roll of delegates by districts. But few were noted absent. Contests were noted from the delegation from several of the Florida conferences. Dr. Reynolds announced that he was not a candidate for re-election because of some other things. He is booked for the episcopacy. Rev. W. D. Johnson, of Georgia, was elected chief secretary. Bishop Gaines announced the following Committee on Credentials: First District, J. L. H. Watkins D. D. Second district, J. T. Jemifer, D. D. Third district, J. M. Gilmore, D. D. Fourth district, N. J. McCracken. Fifth district, J. C. C. Owens. Sixth district, C. C. Cargile. Seventh district, B. H. Williams. Eighth district, John Jones, D. D. Ninth district, J. D. Dennis. Tenth district, T. H. Hawkins. Eleventh district, G. B. Williams. Twelfth District, A. W. Hackley. Thirteenth district, St. John's Church was not large enough to accommodate the many people who were anxious to extend welcome to the bishops, general officers and visitors to the General Conference. Long before the hour for opening every available seat was occupied, and when the organ prelude was played by George W. Grayo it was impossible to get inside of the auditorium. The first speaker was Mayor J. G. Riddick, who was given an ovation when he was presented to the large audience by Bishop Gaines as a friend to mankind. He said that he was indeed pleased to welcome to the city of Norfolk the representatives of the colored race. He said it was providential that the meeting should be held here, because it was in this city where the first English speaking people landed three hundred years ago, and had made it possible for the race represented to occupy the position it now holds in this country. "If the better element of white people and the better element of Negroes were together there would be perfect peace, the race problem would be solved," he said. He touchingly referred to his childhood days when nursed in black arms, a sainted old woman who was willing to protect him, and when he left this and reached the Great Beyond, he fell she would be there to welcome him. (Continued on Page 2.) ROGER WILLIAMS NOTES. Revs. T. J. Townsend and J. C. Fields pald us a visit last Friday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Townsend was scheduled to deliver the principal address of the afternoon. Rev. Fields in a very fitting manner introduced the speaker, who in turn delivered a very forceful address, which was interesting throughout. Following the address of Rev. Mr. Townsend Rev. Mr. Fields in a modest manner presented to the school an indexed Bible, saying that he would that he had thousands to give, but such as he had he would give it freely. Although it seems but small to some, the faculty and students of Roger Williams appreciate it as if it had been his thousands. Mr. Geo. Crocker, of Oleander, Tenn., whose youngest sister is a student here, who was formerly a student of Roger Williams, visited us Saturday afternoon. Rev. R. D. Jones preached at Zion Baptist Church last Sunday evening. Rev. A. O. Kenney was unusually wrought up Sunday evening as he expounded the Word with much force and vigor. SEAY'S CHAPEL AID SOCIETY. The weekly meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society met at the home of Mrs. Mary Owen last week, with a large attendance. The Bible lesson was the 5th chapter of Genesis. The collection was $1.10. A two-course menu was served, after which the members went in a body to visit Mrs. Jones, of Green street, a sick member. ST. ELI BAPTIST CHURCH. The Bible Band met in regular session last Sunday at 5 o'clock p. m. The teacher made the lesson very interesting. Superintendent J. L. Douglas made interesting remarks. "I WANT TO KILL A NIGGER, ANYWAY." The above words from a group of young hoodlums were heard on Jefferson street last Sunday night about the hour when the churchgoers were hurrying homeward. It appears that a young colored man while passing the group of white youngsters mentioned above accidentally brushed against one of the number who became indignant as well as impudent and wanted to "settle" the affair then and there. After a vain attempt to "calm the troubled waters" the colored man proceeded on his way. After he had disappeared in the darkness one of the gang said to his comrades, "I want to kill a nigger, anyway." but thinking perhaps that "discretion is the better part of val or," he abandoned the idea. No.18. FORTY=SECOND COMMENCEMENT A Most Successful Year Closed at Walden. EXCELLENT PROGRAM RENDERED THURSDAY MORNING. EIGHTY-SIX GRADUATES—YOUNG LADIES DISTINGUISH THEM- SELVES AS SPEAKERS—ALL EX- ERCISES LARGELY ATTENDED CLIMAX REACHED THURSDAY MORNING—AUDITORIUM WOULD NOT SEAT PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED. The forty-second commencement of Walden University was interesting from beginning to close. Dr. John A. Kumler, president, stated that the year just closed was a prosperous one, about one thousand students being enrolled, and that the school spent during the year $45,000. This argues that colleges are of some benefit to the cities in which they are located. Every exercise during the week was largely attended. The large Meharry Auditorium was insufficient to seat the eager throngs who gathered from day to day to witness the various exercises. Sunday the baccalaureate sermon was preached by the president. It was a most elegant and forceful one, practical and scholarly and made a useful impression on students and other hearers. There were forty-five who finished from the English Department receiving certificates to this effect. Seventeen Normal graduates, thirteen Commercial, eight Industrial, eight Theological, and four College received diplomas. The normal graduates who distinguished themselves as speakers are Misses Corine J. Winfrey, Serena B. Herman, Susie M. Vernon, Mabel E. Scott, Blanche E. Johnson; Messrs. W. D. Chappelle, E. R. Clemmons, M. Ross. Those finishing the course of the Bible Training School are: F. B. Ransom, W. Ayers, G. W. Gore, H. T. Thornton, John Hayden, R. L. Johnson, M. Smith, G. W. L. Green. Dr. J. A. McMillan, a prominent surgeon and practicing physician and professor of Chemistry in Meharry Medical College, having finished a three years' post-course received the degree of Doctor of Science. The names of those receiving diplomas from the college department are W. H. Higgins, I. A. White, C. S. Powell, S. M. Utley. Thursday was commencement day proper. The exercises were of unusual interest. The Meharry Auditorium in which they were held could not accommodate the large crowds which turned out. The following program was presented: Professional March, "El Trocadero," Hesselburg—Prof. I. J. Berry, Miss Alberta Smith. Maria, from "Joan of Arc"—Glee Club. Invocation. Chorus, "Lost Chord," Sullivan-Brewer—Choral Society. Address—Rev. W. F. Tillett, D. D., Dean Theological Department Vanderbilt University. Piano Quartette, "William Tell,"Rossin. Scenes: A Summer Day—A Thunder Shower—The Shepherd Leads Out His Flock—The Approach of the Army. Piano 1.—Miss Mabel E. Scott and Prof. I. J. Berry. Piano 2.—Miss Beatrice Stewart and Miss M. E. Braden. Presentation of Diplomas. Conferring of Degrees. Chorus—"A Vision," Wentwich. Choral Society. The music of the week was superb. It was under the management of Miss M. E. Braden, which always insures music of first choice and well rendered. Mrs. Thomas, Instructor in Domestic Science and Millinery, showed much proficiency in this department. The exhibits prepared by her classes were very creditable. Walden University has a faculty of seventy teachers, all able, conscientious, and loyal workers.

Fitzgerald gave in marriage their niece, Miss Annie Mai Neely, to Mr. Walter Roberts, at the residence of her aunt, Miss An- nie McGregor, 906 Cedar street, Dr. C. H. Clark officiating. Every detail of the wedding was both artistic and impressive. The bride was attired in white organdy, trimmed with real Jace and ribbon. A white nun boa was the only headdress, while the bride carried a large bouquet of bride roses, caught with white ribbon. Her only Jewel was a cluster of turquoise and Pearl set ring. It was a gift of the groom. The maid ot honor, Miss Cordelia Brown, wore blue silk mull trimmed with laces, and carried a bouquet of white carnations. The groom was attired in conven: tional evening dress and was attend. ed by Mr Henry Carney, as best man. Mr. Hervey Clemos played Mendel. sohn’s wedding march for entrance, and Lang’s “Pure as snow” during the ceremony. After the ceremony music was rendered by the Monitor Chorus and Mr. Samuel White and other soloists, after which ices and cake were serveg.

JOHNSON, THE UNDERTAKER. | You to It is sometimes charged that the Ne sroes are envious and jealous of each other but such was not the case last Monday when many of our leading men observed that the finest carriage in the Elks’ parade was owned by our new Funeral Director, Hon. A. N. Johnson. They were proud of it. They said so. When people see that his material is the best in affairs when others are not competitors, they give him the palm. Even the children in the street know when any Carrtage, Funeral Car or Horse of Hon. A. N. Johnson passes, Nothing has his name print- ed on them; but the imprint of ex- cellence is there, The drivers all uniformed; the harness is bright and shining, the mountings have the sun’s brightness reflected, the horses are high-head, sleek-fat and well-groomed, the vehicles are clean-not a fly speck upon them. There is a genius at the head of the business to direct it. Thus the little children exclaim, “There goes Mr. Johnson's things.” “I know whose things.” “Gee! don’t our new undertaker have fine things.” They are glad to see it. They say so in the streets. People who let policy perish and want the service which is ahead of all competition; service that has no equal; they go where they get the best and most capable, and that is from A. N. Johnson, the new Embalm- er and Funeral Director. Mr. Johnson has just added to his stable of fine horses, a beautiful pair of snowy white Arabian Horses. Look at all the horses in the flower parade Monday and see those of Un- lertaker Johnson, how they will tower above his competitors like a giant over a pigmy. * MUSICAL AT ROGER WILLIAMS. There will be a grand musical en- tertainment given at Roger Williams University on May 18, at 7:30 p. m. Dr. W. B. Miller, of Meharry Medical College, class ‘08, will make his last appearance in the city. Those who have heard him know that the more you hear him the more you desire to, and those who have not will come and go with us and hear him on the last go round. He will be assisted by some of the best local talent. The Blind School children in charge of Mrs. Lowe will participate. There will be wagons at the end of the car line to convey the people to the uni- versity. Admission fee, 10 cents. * RAZOR STROP The Newest and Best Yet.

A. M. E. CONFERENCE. (Continued from Page 1.) “It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to the city of Norfolk. We are proud of our city,” continued the Mayor, “proud of our people, proud of our colored people. We extend you a hearty welcome to partake of our pleasures and shun our sorrows and woes,” Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, the venera- ble prelate of the episcopal bench, was the next speaker. After speaking | words of welcome, he touchingly re- ferred to the death of Bishop B, W. Arnett, A selection by a trio from Louisiana consisting of Rey. E. Wittenburg, Pro- fessor A. H. Colwell and H. L. Baranco was well received. They were encored time and time again, The large audience expressed a desire to hear them again at an early date. Rev. George D. Jimmerson was the next speaker. He represented the min- isters of the State of Virginia, a state which he declared had never produced a Vardaman, Tillman, Davis or Dixon, but stalwart Christian gentleman like the Mayor of Norfolk. He spoke of the early ministerial life of Bishop W. B, Derrick in the state, and the or- ganization of the Virginia Conference in Richmond in 1867. The Rey. Dr. C. W. Mossell, pastor of St. Johns A. M. B. Church, in a for- mal manner turned over the keys to the church to the General Conference. W. M. Reid, a young lawyer, was the next speaker, and he was followed by the eloquent pastor of Bute Street Baptist Church, Rev. R, H. Bowling, Whose address was full of practical sayings. He assured the conference that the Baptists were delighted to have them in the city and state. The addresses were responded to by Bishop Evans Tyree, of Nashville; Pro- fessor John R. Hawkins, A. M., of Kit- irell, N. C., commissioner of education, who has rendered such excellent ser- vice to the educational department of his church, and who is one of the most distinguished laymen of the Negro race as well as a noted educator. Rey. R. A. Adams, B. D., of Green- ville, Miss., responded, as did J. L. Mit- chell, of Providence, R. I. But little business will be done until after the election of bishops and gen- eral officers. There are almost a hun- lred aspirants for each place to be filled. ‘The election of Bishops will be first. The Episcopal Committee will meet o-day in the Bute Street Baptist Church and will organize, take up the work of the bishops and review it, and it is thought by the last of the week will recommend the number of bishops necessary to carry on the work. Some of the delegates are contend- ing for three, while there is a strong sentiment in favor of electing five. The prominent candidate are Revs. B, W. Lampton, D. D., of Washington, D. %., financial secretary, who is consid- red the greatest financier of his || ‘hureh; H. B. Parks, D. D., of New|) York City, who has held the position f missionary secretary for the twelve years; J. Albert Johnson, of Philadel- hia; W. D, Chappelle, D. D., of Nash- ville, Tenn., secretary of the A.

The announcement that the con- tract for the construction of the new Carnegie Library at Fisk University has been awarded to a firm of colored contractors and the work of con- struction will be superintended by a colored architect, is gratifying news to the people of Nashville. The firm of Geo. McKissack & Co. secured the contract over a large number of bidders and will at an early date be- gin the work constructing the new building.

The Baptist Publishing Board Again To the Front in Giving Em- ployment to the Negroes of this City. of this City. On Monday morning of this week the L, & N, Railway Company deliy- ered to the Church Supply Depart- ment of the National Baptist Pub- Mshing Board, R. H. Boyd, Secretary, two carloads of additional machinery. This adds a value of $10,000 to the already enormous plant located at the corner of Second avenue, North, and Locust street. Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe repre- sentative that this machinery was contracted for last fall—in fact, be- fore the National Baptist Convention met in Washington, D. C., but the shipment was delayed on account of the recent financial panic. He had never entertained an idea of abandon- ing bringing it to this city. Its de- jay in reaching here was due solely to a desire to await the improvement of conditions. This nearly completes the vast amount of machinery con- tracted for. These two car loads are striétly church supply and wood work machinery. The Baptists are coustantly adding to their plant, and will no doubt be in a position within the next few months to open one of the largest cabinet and seating factories in the South, in which will be made desks, chairs, cabinets, pulpit furniture, pews, and in fact everything in the wood work line. It will employ scores of unemployed young men who are skilled in this profession, as well as open a school for those who want an apprenticeship in this trade. The city of Nashville is therefore blessed beyond measure with such an addition to its manufacturing record. l(t was learned that the machinery just received here constituted the en- tire plant of the Vergennes Seating and Cabinet Company at Vergennes, Vt. It is known that Dr. Boyd went to Vermont last May, and it is be- lieved that his trip to the New Eng- land States was on this particular mission. Last month he sent one of his machinists, Mr. John Campbell, to Vermont, and it was he who dis- mantled, packed and crated every- thing pertaining to the plant, put it on the cars and shipped it to Nash- ville. Tuesday it was unloaded and temporarily placed in a warehouse pending the selection of a_ site and a convenient place to install this new plant, The Negro Baptists throughout the United States are already con: tributing thousands of dollars to the Church Supply Depart ment by purchasing pews, pulpits, pulpit chairs, school desks, etc. and it is the intention of Dr. Boyd to con tinue spreading out along this line in order to give his people the benefit of the closest possible price on all of this furniture. His denomination feels, as has often been stated, that in him they have their Moses, while the citizens of Nashville acquiesce in the same as he has been instru. mental in the employment of hun. dreds who would fail to find similar skilled employment otherwise. Not only will the Baptist Publishing Board be the pioneers in many pub lication lines, but they will be the first Negroes in the world to open @ complete seating and cabinet fac tory, and Nashville is fortunate in se curing the coveted plum, |ORGANS| “ae FOR THE One of the most beautiful pictures in the home, a church or a Sunday school, is an organ—one that is built to suit the home, the congregation and the financial condition of the people.

HARMONY. There is need of harmony in the re- publican party in Tennessee. The need has been felt for the past ten or fifteen years. It has been the earnest desire for a long time of those who have the welfare of the party at heart that fractional bickering would be re- legated to the limbs of oblivion and an united party give battle to the democrats and the state be swung into the republican column. The desire of harmony was wide-spread but to bring about such a welcome consummation, it is clearly evident that the party must first purge itself oi the parasites which are cleaving to it. It is clearly evident that if the re- publicans of Tennessee ever expect to win a state wide political battle, they must take into consideration the Negro voter, It was proven in the last cam- paign for Governor that lily whitism will not win political battles in this state. In that contest the democrats were more divided than at any time since Peter Turney was counted in as Governor after he had been defeated at the polls. In the Patterson-Evans contest, we confidently believe that Mr. Evans could have been elected if the spirit of I won't hear you for one minute had not been in the ascen- dancy. To bring about harmony it is abso- lutely necessary that the lily-white Movement must be eradicated; it is absolutely necessary that county con- ventions will be a true represention of the voters of the party, it is abso- Tutely necessary that the fullest chance be given for the expression of the sentiments of the masses of the party; it is absolutely necessary that the beneficiaries of federal patronage shall not dominate committees so as to force snap conventions. The parasites have fastened them Selves upon the republican party and as long as they remain, the party wili be divided by factional fighting. Py their presence a few men in many of the counties of the state are en- abled to stifle the will of those who really make up the bulk of the party. Such a condition of affairs is repne- nant to the principles of republicaa- ism. The only relief in sight is for the voters to rise and restore party authority where it properly belongs—- into the hands of the people, Such a move is now on in Davidson County andjwhen the Convention meets in the (win Building next week, every mat wel SAGE to believe in the squafe feal should be on hand to reg- ister? his disapproval of the unwhole- som Sate Pee Ps gre now ex isting in Tennesee, : A. M. E. GENERAL CONFRRANORB The General Conference of the Afci- can Methodist Bpiscopal Church, which began its quardrennial session at Norfolk, Va., this week, has brought together some of the most noted churchmen of the race in America. Notable among these is the president of the Bishops’ Council and senior bishop, the Rt. Rey. Henry McNie} Turner. . The Conference will remain in ses: sion for at least three weeks and owing to the heated contests between candi- dates for the bishoporic and positions as’ general officers, may continue au- other week. At present it seems to be the concensus of opinion that © five bishops will be elected, though many of the connection contend that three will be sufficient. Outside of the elec- tion of bishops the greatest interest seems to be centered in the fight to elect a Jayman as Secretary of the Suu- day School Union and Manager of the publishing house in this city. Before the conference adjourns three of the most notable speakers of the country will address it. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, the defender of the colored soldiers, will make the first address, Later Dr. Booker T. Washington, the most noted educator of the race will be heard, and finally, tae Hoa, William ‘Tecumseh Vernon, Register of the Treasury, and a prominent African Methodist before he was given politi- cal preferment, will address the body, UNINSTRUCTED DELEGATES. Itcan be stated as a general proposi- tion that regardless of who the candi- dates of the opposing parties may be, the republicans can at the best hope to carry only three of the Southern states. These three states, of which Tennessee is one, are in ieality border states. It can be siated further, with- out fear of contradiction, that without the Negro vote it will be impossibe to Win in any one of these three states, | The South is democratic. A vote in the electoral college for the repub- lican nominee can not be guaranteed from any state in this section and can only..be hoped for from the three states mentioned above. This section being so hopelessly in the democratic column should be very careful about trying to force a candidate upon those sections which must furnish the votes to elect the nominee. It was demon- strated in the defeat at the polls, of Ben- jamin Harrison in 1892, that a nomi- nation forced by federal patronage in sections that cannot furnish votes is @ bad policy and a dangerous thing for party success. It goes without saying that the next President will be elected by the yotes North of the Mason and Dixon line. Since it is from this section that the vote must come, it would be wise to let that scetion take the lead in naming the candidate, It should be borne in mind by the republicans of the South, those who align them. selves with the party simply for fed- eral pie, as well as those who are con- ‘ected with it from principle, that the paramount aim is the success of the ticket, Mr. Bryan has been brought to terms by the South, The uninstruct- ed delegates from many of the North- ern states make it certain that he must have the support of almost a solid delegation from the South to se- cure the necessary two-thirds ma- jority. He has made a strong bid for that vote by coming out ata meeting in Coopers’ Union, New York Clty, endorsing or rather condoning the disfranchisement laws against the Negro, This pronouncement of Mr. Bryan, following so closely upon the Charleston, W. Va., incident, where permission was refused Negroes to hear him deliver a public address to the Y. M. C. A., will cost him thon- sands of votes in the North and Rast if he be the nominee of the Denver Convention. We are sure that the men who called the County Convention to be held by the republicans of this county at the Twin Hall next week have the best in- terests of the party at heart, Like The Glohe, they are opposed to the rape of authority by a local commit: THE NASHVILLE GLOBB, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908. ——————————E ANOR.| tee, and such snap methods as have | Bell, A e Afci-| Deen used to capture the delegates to }er, P. | Shurch, | Chicago under the guise of regularity. ce session | Like The Globe they believe that the | rownes ought | Voters of Davidson County have suft- noted | lent intelligence to be trusted with merica, |e ruling of party affairs and that} esident| te said voters should be given a] 5,°%,, senior | Chance to fairly express their will |Win L MeNie) | With as few hindrances as possible. | George Senator Bulkeley spoke in defense of the Foraker Bill to re-enlist the col- ored soldiers this week. It is notable that those Senators from the New England States, where people are sip- posed to be cranks about even-handed justice, have been very slow to en- dorse Mr. Roosevelt’s policy in this matter. Senator Lodge, of Massachu- setts, a personal friend of the Presi- dent and one of his chief defenders upon all occasions, has not dared, as yet, to attempt an answer to that mas- terly deliverance of the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. The task was shuut- ed to Western Senators, It would seem that the report being sent out from Washington that lily- white representatives will stand a poor show at Chicago is having its effect. The local papers give accounts of the lily-white crowd in one county putting enough Negroes on the county committee to possibly hide its lily- white predelictions. John Sharp Williams retired Goy. James K, Vardaman to private life. it Goy, Patterson and Joseph Brown will perform a like service to Carmack and Hoke Smith we will be enabled to give thanks even if we can not rest in peace on account of Ben Tillman and that man from Arkansas, If Mr. Taft is a conscientious defend- er of the rights of Negroes why does he not disown these lily-white, snap convention, federal officeholder dele- gates and conventions in the South? ‘The air is permeated with rumors of June brides.

C., May 5, 1908.— The lateset development in the Brownsville affair is the conversion of Senator Bulkeley, of Connecticut, who has surprised Washington and the country at large by coming out and openly declaring that he does not believe that the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were guilty of participating in the crime alleged to them. The stand he takes is exactly in line with the fight that has been so vigorously prosecuted for the past two years by Senator J. B. Foraker. The Senator from Connecti- cut is not a member of the military affair committee, hence his recent ut- terances are calculated to add more weight, influence and prestige to the agitation to carry through the pres- ent Congress the Foraker bill, and to defeat the Warner Dill. The daily papers of this city contain an associated press despatch. from Washington, D. C., dated May 4, un- der the head of “Senator Bulkeley de- fends Negro troops.” The despatch reads as follows: “Washington, May 4.—Senator Bulk- eley of Connecticut, in an extended speech in the Senate yesterday, de- fended the negro soldiers of the Twen- ty-fifth Regiment from charges of ‘shooting up’ Brownsville, Tex., Au- gust 12-14, 1906. ““Up to the commencement of the in- vestigation by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs,’ said Mr. Bulke- ley, ‘it was practically assumed by the military, executive and civil authori- ties that the troops, or some of them, were guilty of the shooting up of the town!” 2 After hearing all the testimony taken in this case, Mr. Bulkeley said he had concluded that none of the negro soldiers were implicated in the ‘raid. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Master Clemon Smith Fogleman, little son of Mr. and Mrs, C.

SUNDAY, JUNE 14, TO BE FIT- TINGLY OBSERVED. Program for the Oc-.. casion. The question has often been asked by people, especially those who pay little or no attention to the obsery- ance of Children’s Day (and this rule is not confined solely to the people who do not attend church, but is to be found among people who are, church-workers), “What is Children’s Day?” The question can be an- swered in but one way. The simplic- ity of the answer adds importance to the occasion, Children’s Day proper is a day set apart in which every per- son becomes a child again and goes back as near as possible to child- hood days, observing, as it were, this general holiday that is almost universal among the Christian people. Most of the churches convert them- selves into a veritable Sunday-school, giving over the entire day, or a bet- ter part of it, to listening to the ren- dition of an elaborately prepared pro- gram in which the children take the leading part. Every one has been a child at some time; everybody can boast of being somebody's child, and to this end a special program has been arranged for the observance of the day. Sunday, June 14, has been set apart for the great “Children’s Day of 1908.” It is the second Sun- day in June. So in keeping with its custom, the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board has had its Concert Quarterly editor, Mrs. Lula J. Boyd- Landers, prepare a special program for the occasion, ‘These programs are now ready for distribution. The program abounds in choice music and appropriate se- lections, all of which are conveniently arranged. It is accompanied with a supplement, on which will be found the recitations and the dialogues. The music is especially rich, not difficult music, but just simple, plain, child- ish and sacred music, especially ar- ranged for such occasions. The Children’s Day program is a sixteen-page pamphlet. This year it is printed-in an olive-green color. ‘They can be had by any Sunday- school that will send in a request for them. There are no charges; they are sent free, The only request Dr. R. -H. Boyd has made is that each Sunday-school will send ina collection to his board for misstonary purposes —a little money to assist in spreading the gospel on home fields, More than one hindred thousand copies of these magnificent programs will be cistributed in all parts of the world. One unique feature of the program over preceding years is that it of- fers three great prizes to be given away to the Sunday-schools. There will be $1,309 worth of prizes. The first prize will be a Teachers’ Sunday-school Library of eighteen volumes worth $21. There will «be thirty-five of these—one for each state. Hence the Sunday-school in each state sending in the largest Children’s Day donation will receive one set of the first prize of books. ‘The second prize will be worth $7.50. It consists of twenty-one volumes, to be awarded the school in each state sending the highest amount over 5M. The third prize will be worth (Y qi 7 St. Luke Penny Savings Bank RICHMOND, VA.

These meetings are unde- ‘nominational and were organized for the purpose of giving counsel to those who have the future destiny of the Negro youth at heart. They are known as mothers’ meetings, not from a parental standpoint only, but from a womanly standpoint also, as no race rises above its women. All women are requested to attend these meetings and give others the benefit of their experience. After a general discussion of “How to interest moth- ers in their own children,” the meet- ing was adjourned to meet Monday, May 11, at 3 p. m. MAY FESTIVAL. The first annual May festival and carnival, for which such extensive preparations had been made, began Monday morning under the most fa- yorable circumstances. Large crowds of people thronged the streets wait- ing for the magnificent street parade that had been promised. The crowd was not at all disappointed, as the parade was a creditable one. It formed on the East Side and passed through the principal thoroughfares of Hast Nashville and Nashville proper. There was a large number of deco- rated vehicles, a brass band, citizens in carriages and business firms with display floats. They halted at Ath- letic Park, where a specially prepared program, consisting of various amuse- ments and competitive athletic games, was carried out. But before the aft- ernoon had passed, a steady down- pour of rain began and continued throughout, preventing the exercises and forcing the management to aban- don the night’s program. Hence there was nothing Monday night Outside of the interruption caused by the rain, the May festival and carni- val was a decided success. Mrs, E. H. Liner and Mrs. Chas. Thorne were awarded the first prize. which was a beautiful lamp costing $15, for the prettiest decorated buggy in the floral parade; “Old Sol's” Smile | If "Old Sol” beams up- on you long at a time these bright May days your complexion is apt to suffer.

H. BOYD, Secretary, Second Ave. N., Nashville, Tenn. my Britt, has placed himself in line for a battle with the champion, Joe Gans. McFarland has shown the most class of any of the lightweights, and if he wants a tussle with the Old Master he can have it. But does Packey want the tussle just at present? That is questionable. At any rate, it is questionable if he would profit by it. The Chicago boy has a great deal to learn, much of which has been as an open book to Gans for many years, and conceding that the youngster has the speed, the strength and the competitiveness, the older man would be apt to win on his generalship and experience. Viewed from all points of the compass, McFarland would show wisdom by refraining from getting into the ring with Gans at this time. When McFarland has gained the necessary experience, and Gans has accumulated a few more years, it might be in order for the Chicagoan to make the match. ** 永 恒 On May 14 Boer Unholz will try to last out twenty rounds with Joe Gans. The Gans-Unholz fight is the championship. Unholz is supremely confident of his ability to take the measures of the lightweight championship. It may be that he will, but it must be confessed that he has not yet done anything to warrant this confidence in the minds of the general public. Gans may not be able to put the Boer away in twenty rounds, but there would seem to be no reason to expect Unholz to knock Gans out within the limit, and when it comes to points Gans is incomparably ahead of the white boy. Gans should win on the bit. The National Sporting Club, the richest and most powerful fighting club in the world, recently called called Tommy Burns' talk about "yellow streaks" and "niggers" by offering a purse of 2,500 pounds, the loser to take 500 pounds and a side bet of 1,000 pounds, for a twenty-round fight between Burns and Johnson on the night of the derby. In addition to this, a well-known sporting man is ready to bet 1,000 pounds on Johnson. Even Burns' staunchest supporters frankly admit that the matter has been squarely put up to Burns, who must either fight or emigrate. Johnson said to-night: "The truth of the matter is, Burns does not want to fight. It is he, not I who has the yellow streak." A collision between Johnson and the Canadian was narrowly averted in the National Sporting club this afternoon. Johnson was so infuriated at Burns' designation of him as "yellow-streaked" that he threatened to publicly pull Tommy's nose on the first opportunity. Burns did not turn up in the sporting club to-night, nor was he to be found in his usual haunts. HER TWELFTH BIRTHDAY. Miss Daisy Fredella Thomas, of Fourteenth avenue, North, celebrated her twelfth birthday Tuesday, May 5. The rooms were elaborately decorated with cut flowers.

Merrill, Ruth Mai Love, Mary Pope, Lillian Dixon, Mattie Evans, Madalene Dunlap, Clarice Pope, Lenora L. Williams, Ivy Mai Dixon, Ruth C. Upshaw, Jennie Belle Matthews, Maggie Flemmings, Master Thomas Eugene Smiley. Many beautiful presents were received, one, a beautiful gold ring from her father, Mr. Fred D. Thomas, the barber, of Fourth avenue, North. Later on ices and fruit were served. MISS BEAM3 TO WED. The announcement of the coming wedding of Miss Mildred Beams and Mr. Harvey O. Johnson, which is to take place in Oakland, Cal., at an early date, is news to Nashville society. While it is no surprise, it came unawares. The bride-to-be has quite a number of friends in this city. They hall with delight this news. It was only a short while ago that Miss Beams wrote one of her friends in this city as follows: "What do you think? I have found my 'Prince Charming,' and all of these years he has been hiding in the Golden West!" Soon after the receipt of this letter a copy of the Oakland Tribune, the leading daily of Oakland, contained an excellent likeness of her and the following news item: "Miss Mildred Beams entertained at a luncheon complimentary to Miss Augustus B. Turner of St. Louis Mo., recently, at which the engagement of the hostess to Harry O. Johnson was announced. "The table and rooms were decorated in pink and white carnations, with palms and smilax. Above the center of the table was suspended a rope of smilax, with a bunch of heart-shaped cards, and upon which each of these was written the engagement announcement. "These hearts were cut loose, each guest receiving one. White carnations were given as favors. $4 Men's Shoes $2.95 THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908.

Mrs. Mary Flowers, who has charge of the Fireside School in this city since the absence of Miss Joanna P. Moore, has just returned from an extensive trip through the state of Arkansas. The Fireside School has a large number of Bible Bands throughout Arkansas and Mrs. Flowers visited such cities as Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Dermott and Monticello. In each city the Bible Band gave her a very flattering reception, although she was not on an official visit. Her mission to the state was to visit relatives. She has a brother in Little Rock, and other relatives throughout the state. At Dermott she was the principal visitor to the commencement exercises of the Southeastern Industrial Academy. The work in the state of Arkansas and the progress of the people is quite encouraging, says Mrs. Flowers. H. T. G. M. The members of the H. T. G. M. Club were charmingly entertained by Miss Georgia Watkins on Saturday evening, May 2. The hostess introduced a new game called "Fishing for peanuts." Miss Minnie Hunter caught 174 peanuts and received first prize, a beautiful Alice Blue Jabbot. Miss Georgia Bradford received the hooby, a pin tray filled with peanuts. After the game, delightful refreshments were served. The visitors were Misses Fannie and Lillie Banks.
