THE NASHVILLE GLOBE.
Third Annual Session Convened in Jacksonville.
MANY DELEGATES FROM VARIOUS STATES ATTEND.
IMMENSE CROWDS ATTEND EACH SESSION—DR. C. H. CLARK OPENS THE MEETING — ALL SUBJECTS BEING ABLY DISCUSSED—MUSIC A PLEASING FEATURE—CHORUS OF ONE HUNDRED VOICES-DELEGATES ROYALLY ENTERTAINED.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 24.—With fitting ceremonies the third annual session of the National Baptist Sunday Congress was called to order to-day by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., of Nashville, who is chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Scores of prominent Baptists throughout the United States are here in attendance. This Sunday School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua represents the future denomination, so far as the Baptists are concerned. They have an extremely large following.
To-day when the chorus of one hundred voices chanted a special anthem, "Hail the Baptist Congress," written by Prof. Thomas W. J. Tobias, of New Orleans, it showed the real amount of interest already created in the meeting. The magnificent choir was under the direction of Rev. N. H. Pius, D. D., of Springfield, O., who is the national chorister and who has been here for the last ten days instructing singers for the occasion. This promises to be the greatest meeting held under the auspices of any one denomination in the United States. While the largest part of the attendance is from the Southern states, there is an excellent representation from the East and the Middlewest.
The opening exercises were exceedingly impressive. The flattering welcome accorded the delegates and visitors to this Christian gathering will long be remembered. The officials in the city and state took a prominent part in the opening exercises. Bethel Institutional Baptist Church, where the meeting is being held, is the most magnificent church edifice owned by Negro Baptists in the South. Jacksonville is extending a welcome that is becoming to a city of its reputation.
From now on until Monday, June 29, there will be two sessions each day. The interesting and unique feature of departmental meetings to be held each day from 2 to 5 p. m., is creating a very favorable impression. A long list day from 2 to 5 p. m., is creating a very favorable impression. A long list of prominent Sunday-school workers, educators and Baptist divines is here to take their part. The subjects to be discussed will interest every one who is engaged in Sunday-school and young people's work. Not all of the speakers for this meeting have handed in their subjects to the Secretary of the Congress Movement. It was announced to-day that more than one hundred have been invited to take part and that each would be given an opportunity to read his paper.
On Sunday morning the Model Sunday School will be held. All of the Sunday-schools in Jacksonville, with a representation of the various Sunday-schools throughout the country, will participate. Saturday night previous will be given over to a special lecture from Rev. Chas. T. Walker, D. D., of Augusta, Ga.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Chicago, June 19.—The program committee, composing the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, concluded its sessions at the Olivet Baptist Church here this evening. President Morris was compelled to hold the meeting until a late hour in the evening, notwithstanding many of the Southern delegates were due to leave at six o'clock. The entire day was spent in an earnest effort to make a program for the twenty-eighth annual session of the National Baptist Convention, which is due to meet in Lexington, Ky., September 16-21. It was learned from Secretary Hudson that a large number of the officers were expected, but upon roll call it was found that T. J. Searcy, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. Wm. McMichael, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. E. W. Atkinson, Navasota, Tex.; B. Tyrell, Virginia, by proxy; C. M. Cartwright, North Carolina, by proxy; L. L. Campbell, Texas, proxy; E. J. Fisher; J. F. Thomas, Illinois; proxy A. S. Gray, J. Franklin Walker, Ohio; W. W. Whittion, Tennessee; L. G. Jordan, Kentucky; A. A. Cosey, Mississippi; D. S. Klough, New Jersey; R. H. Boyd, Tennessee; A. J. Stokes, Alabama; T. O. Fuller, Assistant Secretary, Tennessee; R. B. Hudson, Secretary, Alabama; E. C. Morris, President, Arkansas; Henry Allen Boyd, Tennessee, were the only ones present. Some give it out in Chicago as a reason for the absence of so many of the vice presidents (and it was openly asserted) that it was on account of the fear of being accused of taking part in the political convention which is also in session here. However, President Morris stated this evening that the program for the entire sessions of the National Baptist Convention had been arranged, and that the indications are that a larger number of speakers would be heard than ever before. Just who would be the prominent speaker of this occasion was not given out, but it is known that each of the seven boards operating under this great religious organization will have a day to report, and there will be time given for the discussion of the report, and each board will have a special sermon at some time during the Convention. As usual, the secretaries of the boards will read their reports and possibly the chair man of each board will open the discussion. Other than this no other part of the program is given out for publication.
MARRIES IN FLORIDA.
Mr. T. Clay Moore, the energetic young real estate and business man, left the city Sunday for Key West, Fla., where his marriage to Miss Cleo Florentina Du Pont was celebrated last night. While it had been intimated for some time that Mr. Moore would soon join the ranks of the beneficts, the announcement that he has married a belle from the extreme end of Florida will come as a surprise to quite a number of his friends.
Miss Du Pont was a student at Meharry a part of last year, and while in the city resided at the home of Mr. L. Winter. She is an accomplished young lady and made a host of friends during her short stay. She is the daughter of Mr. Chas. Du Pont, who holds a very high position in the U. S. Government service in Key West.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore will in all probability take a wedding tour to Havana, Cuba. They will be at home after July 5, at 1006 Sixteenth avenue, North.

FRANK SHELBY KILLS R. COOPER
Men Quarrel Over Game of Craps Saturday Night.
UNFORTUNATE MAN BEGS PITIFULLY FOR HIS LIFE.
SHELBY REPORTED TO HAVE CONFESSED THE ATROCIOUS DEED—SAID TO HAVE GONE OVER THE WHOLE AFFAIR IN DETAIL — HIS OWN STATEMENTS MAKE THE DEED ONE UNPARALLELED IN HISTORY OF CITY OF NASHVILLE.
Last Saturday night one of the most startling scenes ever beheld confronted two policemen on Wedgewood avenue. A man was discovered with his head crushed to a pulp and a big stone lying on it. The deed mystified the officers for several hours, but finally they were hot on the trail of a suspected party. Frank Shelby was arrested on information secured from a man who works where the murderer had worked and he was arrested Sunday evening. On Monday he was given a treatment of the special medicine they have at the police station for mutes, and he is alleged to have made the confession which is given below:
After an hour's sweating at police headquarters, Frank Shelby, the young man who was arrested Sunday by Detectives Jones and Norton on the charge of murder of Robert Cooper, confessed to Lieut. Sidebottom and Detectives Irwin, Dowd, Norton and Jones that he was the guilty man and stated that there was no one else connected with the killing. According to the confession of the murderer, robbery was the motive for the crime, which took place after several hours spent in drinking and gambling. After the confession Shelby, accompanied by Lieut. Sidebottom and Detectives Irwin, Dowd and Norton, took a Spruce Street car to the scene of the murder. Here Shelby related the details of the killing, pointing out the road he and Cooper had taken, where they had stopped to "shoot craps" and other "objects that had figured" in the trag edy.
According to Shelby's statements Cooper and he met early Saturday evening by appointment. Shelby says that four or five of the men, including Cooper and himself, started a game of craps, the gaming lasting for about two hours. Cooper is said to have won most of Shelby's money and about $10 besides. After drinking considerably the crowd broke up. Shelby proposed to Cooper that they take a car and go out towards Cumberland Park and there continue the game. Cooper acquiescing, the two caught a Spruce Street car and rode to Wedgewood avenue, where they got off and walked down towards the railway track. "Here," said Shelby, "we started another game about fifty yards from the buggy factory. Both of us had 'crooked' dice and we had only thrown a few times when we fell out over a quarter, which should have been mine. Cooper struck at me and I grabbed the fence post that was lying near and hit him on the head. "He fell down at the second blow and I struck him again, finally dropping a big stone on his head. I had won back several dollars from him while we had been playing there.
"After I was sure that he was dead I took $2.60, all I could find in his clothes, and went back to town. I took my old clothes, which were all covered with blood, and cleaned them the best I could. I cut out the right sleeve, which was all soaked with blood, and burned it. I then hid the suit of clothes in a stable and went on home."
Detectives Jones and Norton found the bloody clothes belonging to the murderer Sunday afternoon. The suit, which was covered with blood, was identified by a number of men that Shelby wore on Saturday. One of the men stated that he had seen Cooper and Shelby together about 10 o'clock Saturday night, and that previous to that time he had heard Shelby say that he would get some money to night if he had to take it away from somebody.
Shelby was arrested late Sunday evening, one by Detectives
Jones and Norton on a charge of disorderly conduct. At that time he was taken to the police station and refused to make any statement. He was placed in a cell until morning, when the sweating took place. The sight of the bloody clothes and the stone with which he had crushed out Cooper's life undoubtedly brought out the confession.
An inquest was held Sunday over the body of Robert Cooper, Shelby's victim, under the direction of Coroner W. C. Handley. Patrolmen Estes and Nichol, who found the murdered man's body at a late hour Saturday night, testified that they heard cries from two men, while patrolling their beat on Wedgewood avenue going towards Cumberland Park. They stated that they hurried to the place where the cries came from and found Cooper's body with the head crushed to a pulp and the 36-pound stone lying beside it. The murdered man's body was taken to the Taylor undertaking rooms where it was prepared for burial. The Coroner's Jury returned the following verdict: "The deceased has come to his death by foul means." The report was signed by the following jurors: J. P. Rains, G. E. Jakes, A. T. Harman, J. A. Good, W. C. Hunter, P. W. McElveen and James C. Hinton.
The stone which Shelby used to crush his victim's head after he had knocked him down was brought to Lieut. Sidebottom's headquarters, together with the fence post, and both were weighed. The rock weighed exactly thirty-six pounds, and the post weighed twenty-one pounds. The post, when found by the officers, was broken in two pieces. This breaking of Shelby's weapon occurred when he struck Cooper, after the latter had been felled to the ground. Shelby is more than six feet tall, weighs about 200 pounds, and is strongly built, with muscles that stand out on his body. He takes the whole matter coolly, seemingly undisturbed by his serious position. Shelby was arraigned in the City Court on Tuesday morning before Judge Baker and waived examination. He was bound over to the Criminal Court without bail and was taken to the County jail.
YOUNG MEN'S CLUB.
The members of the Young Men's Literary Club were entertained last Monday night, June 22, at the residence of the President, Mr. E. L. Kinzer. Some business was transacted at the conclusion of which ices and cake were served. The president at the close of the meeting said, 'In view of the fact that many of our number leave the city during the summer, I deem it wise to disband for the season. I therefore grant the next three months for vacation and declare the club adjourned to meet September 14, at eight o'clock, at my residence."
A RECITAL.
Miss Lillian Dean Allen, of Fourteenth avenue, North, who returned to the city the first part of the month from Lawrenceville, Va. where she had been teaching music in a college at that place, is now visiting her brother, Dr. R. W. Allen, of Chattanooga. Miss Allen has entered into the musical affairs of the city where she is visiting, having given a recital Monday night at the Wiley Memorial M. E. Church, one of the largest churches of the city. She was assisted in the recital by Mr. Melvin Hayes, whose voice has attracted so much attention from those who have heard him at Flask University, of which institution he is a student. Doubtless Miss Allen will spend most of her vacation in Chattanooga.
MR. AND MRS. RANDOLPH EN
TERTAIN.
On Tuesday evening, June 23, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Randolph, of 1608 State street, entertained a number of friends in honor of Miss Sonora Porter, of Chicago.

Heard, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Little, Mr. and Mrs. Will Black, Miss Pinkie Hill and Ed Drake, Messrs. Rogert Evins, John Steel, Robert Cowell, Will Hill, Harris Ray, Sharks, Will Andrews and Heard.

ATT'Y BLAKEMORE OF BOLEY, OKLA.
A Former Nashville Citizen Visits His Old Home.
IS NOW ATTORNEY FOR THE THRIVING NEGRO TOWN.
GRADUATED FROM LAW AT WAL-
DEN UNIVERSITY A FEW YEARS
AGO—HAS BEEN IN BOLEY
ONLY FOUR YEARS—HAS BEEN
RE-ELECTED TO THE SAME
POSITION BY HIS TOWNSMEN
FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN SUCCESSION.
That Nashville is the most progressive city in the South is being evidenced in more ways than one every day in the year. And it is a fact that cannot be too generally known that there are more reasons than one why this city leads all others in so many respects. One main reason and the one that stands out more prominently than all others is the geographical location of Tennessee's Capital City. For scores of years this has been the acknowledged educational center, the same can be said of the hardwood industry, and the publishing industry. More white paper is consumed in Nashville than in any city south of the Ohio river. One of the industries just mentioned which goes hand in hand with the educational institutions in the development of progressive men is printing and publishing. They work in unison. They are of a truth inseparable.
The people of Nashville were made to feel proud this week by the visit of one of her sons who caught the progressive spirit that is constantly being instilled into them by the faculties of the institutions of learning fostered here, and by the untiring efforts of the press, in both their secular and religious paners and magazines.
Mr. E. P. Blakemore, a young lawyer of Boley, Oklahoma, was in the city the latter part of last week and the first of this, visiting friends. Mr. Blakemore had been to Chicago attending the National Republican Convention, and stopped by Nashville on his return home. While looking around at the improvements made here in the last year or so he stumbled upon a Globe reporter and an old acquaintance. It was a happy meeting and the two had quite a lengthy conversation about bygone days. When asked about Boley, the distinctly Negro town of Oklahoma, the gentleman from the West was all ready, without a moment's hesitation. Said he: "No, we do not object to white men coming to our town on business, but we do not sell any land or lease any property in our town to them." Boley is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants. Although it is only five years old. It is situated 125 miles from Oklahoma City on the Fort Smith & Western Railroad. Negroes own everything in a radius of over twelve miles. In the town they have two banks, three hotels, one brick yard, one bottling works, one cement stone block plant, two griss mills, and conduct over one hundred other business houses in all lines of trade. They have their own independent telephone exchange with Negro girls operating the switch board, and the telegraph operator would not be taken for a white man under any circumstances. Mr. Blakemore is city attorney, notary public and attorney for the Boley Bank and Trust Co. The city officials are elected annually. In the last election there were two distinct tickets in the field—the citizen's ticket and the independent ticket—and the six hundred voters had the satisfaction of knowing that their votes would be counted fairly, for no white man had anything to do with it one way or the other.
Mr. Blakemore graduated from the law department of Walden University in 1903, and has been a resident of Boiley for four years. He predicts a great future for the new western town.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FR1DAY, JUNE 26, 1908
This was one of the grandest conferences held in any city for years. The Conference assembled in St John's Chapel Thursday morning at 9 o'clock sharp. Rev. T. W. Haigler, M. D., D. D., P. E., was in the chair. Throughout the day Thursday a glorious meeting was in progress; delegates from many points were present. A number of prominent speakers were introduced, among them being Rev. J. A. Jones, of Turner College; Mrs. Anna T. Jackson, a Willing Worker of Allen Temple Mission, and Rev. L. T. Miller, of Springfield. M. E. Church, who gave an excellent talk and was responded to by the Nashville pulpit orator, Rev. I. J. Edwards, of Salem Chapel.
Friday was another great day, Conference assembled at the usual hour, 9 o'clock The day was given to songs and papers from the many delegates, one among them having been read by Miss M. B. Topp, the Conference Secretary, on "Encouraging the Auxiliaries of the Church." This paper was well delivered and received the congratulations of the Conference. Also a paper, "The Depressive Negro," by Mrs. Blakemore of Hartsville, Ct. Rev. J. A. Jones, President of Turner College, made quite an interesting talk in behalf of Turner College.
Friday night long before the hour for the services to begin the church was packed to overflowing. Rev. Wm. Flagg, D. D., pastor of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, in East Nashville, preached a powerful sermon, at the conclusion of which Mr. D. A. Hart, manager of the Globe Publishing Company, Nashville, Tenn., made an urgent appeal for a contribution for education. The sum of $5 was contributed for Turner College, which is located at Shelbyville, Tenn. Mr. Hart was called on to make a short talk, and he entertained the Conference about ten minutes in an interesting discourse about the General Conference of his church. The president then announced the election of two laymen as members of the annual conference. Mr. Archie Pointer, of Springfield, Tenn., and Mr. D. A. Hart, of Nashville, Tenn., were elected. Mr. Hart is a member of St. John A. M. E. Church and is superintendent of the Sunday-school.
Saturday was a day of enjoyment for all who attended the conference. In the morning Rev. B. G. Gordon, pastor of St. John A. M. El Church preached a strong sermon. Papers were read by Misses Buchanan and Stewart, full of thought and meaning. The Presiding Elder's report brought much praise from the Conference and he himself seemed pleased with the brethren while he ruled with sternness and kindness as well.
Sunday being Rally Day, the Conference raised for Turner College $115.16 and $58.15 for expenses, making a grand total of 173.31. This district has done well and it is hoped that in another district meeting it will do even better and come up to roll call with a hundred and seventy dollars over the amount collected.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
At the regular meeting of Damon Lodge, No. 2, Knights of Pythias, on Wednesday night, the semi-annual election of officers resulted in the election of Mr. J. M. Miller, as the Vice Chancellor. All of the other officers, beginning with C. C. Wm. Royster and ending with A. W. Fite, Trustee, were re-elected by acclamation. The meeting was largely attended by visiting knights who came to witness the oratorical pyrotechnics which usually accompany the election of officers.
THREE-COURSE DINNER.
An elaborate three-course menu was served last Wednesday by Mrs. brepe Doxey Robinson and Miss Alice L. Doxey at their home. 1837 Third avenue, North, to the following: Mrs. Winnie Hart, Miss Anna D. Elliott, of Henderson, Ky., Miss Jackson, of Connecticut, Mr. Sykes, of Birmingham, Mr. John Twiggs, of Engine Company No. 4. Miss Elliott is a graduate of the class of 1908 of Fisk University.
"THE DEAN" IS HAPPY.
Happy! One member of the Globe Publishing Company is as happy as a big sunflower is supposed to be in the merry month of June. Happy! Why, the "Dean of The Globe" is wreathed in smiles from morn until night, and then he smiles some more. The secret of his happiness is that he is now a grandfather. Constant readers of The Globe will possibly remember that "The Dean" is Mr. Chas, H. Burrill, Secretary of the Globe Publishing Co. and one of the most capable newspaper men in America. Last week the Dean received the pleasing information that a daughter had been born. Mr. and Mrs. George Willis Burrill, S. In N. Y. on the 10th
Willis is the Dean's only child,
hence all the smiles.
But the Dean is a modest man. He hates publicity when he himself is concerned. This modesty caused him to refrain from informing his colleagues upon The Globe, all of whom are personally acquainted with Mr. George Willis Burrill and with whom he is a prime favorite, until they had received the news from other sources.
Latest advices from Brooklyn state that "The Dean's" granddaughter, whose name is Evelyn Lyons Burrill, is enjoying fine health and that Mrs. Burrill, who was seriously ill for several days and is not yet out of danger, is much better.

WINS SUIT AGAINST PULLMAN COMPANY.
Some time ago a suit was entered against the Pullman Car Company on account of discrimination. Readers of The Globe will remember that we published an appeal from Mr. Frederick L. McGhee, of the Niagara Movement, asking for donations to help fight the case The case was won, as the following letter from Mr. McGhee will show.
"I am indeed happy to inform you that in the case of Reid vs. Pullman Co. I made a motion for judgment against the Pullman Company on the pleadings, that is, admitting all they set up in their answer and all they claim that still there was no defense that they were not protected in refusing to allow the plaintiff accommodation in a Pullman car because the law of the State of Tennessee prohibited railroad companies and common carriers from carrying colored and white persons in the same coach. "Further, that it was no defense that the common law rule has been abolished by the statute of Tennessee, which rule gives a proprietor the right to separate his guest, provided he furnishes other and equal accommodations.
"That on the law and authority, the Pullman Company had n right to establish a rule separating white passengers, and this whether the plaintiff is an interstate passenger or was an interstate passenger.
When the motion was called for hearing, council representing the Pullman Company arose and stated to the court that they consent that the motion be granted for the reason that they were satisfied, that I was right on the law.
Thus you will see the matter is disposed of, and we win a complete victory. There is but one question remaining, that is, will the people of our race take advantage of this and follow it up often enough to compel the company to yield the point and maintain the law, which they thus confess, everywhere in this broad land and common country of ours?
"Believe me ever yours for liberty and freedom.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation, which may appear in the columns of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management.
Send correspondence for publication so as to reach the office Monday. No matter intended for current issue which arrives as late as Thursday can appear in that number, as Thursday is press day.
All news matter sent us for publication must be written only on one side of the paper, and should be accompanied by the name of the contributor, not necessarily for publication, but as an evidence of good faith.
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
The case of the policeman who assaulted a woman with his club, a report of which was published in the last issue of The Globe, is one of the most brutal, if true, that has come to our notice. Now that Mayor Brown is back in the city he should order the matter investigated whether charges have been preferred or not.
It is revolting to the finer sensibilities of every true man, no matter what his race, to hear of an officer of the law striking a woman with force sufficient to require a physician to attend to her injuries. And such a thing happening in our city not only reflects upon the good name of Nashville, but also upon the humanity of those to whom the policemen are directly responsible.
We do not believe that Mayor Brown endorses such methods of handling women prisoners as it is alleged the officer used. Nor do we believe that the majority of the white people of the city approve the clubbing of women almost into insensibility, no matter how obstreperous they may become. Ample proof of their disapproval of such treatment was shown a few years ago when an officer was discharged for beating a friendless woman.
The victim in this case may be poor, friendless and a Negro, but above all, she is a woman. The case should be investigated and if the charges made by the woman be true the Civil Service Commission owes it to the good name of the city that the officer be discharged.
OUR PRESIDENTS.
On the fourth day of next March Theodore Roosevelt, the youngest man to ever fill the highest office in the gift of the American people, will retire to private life. Mr. Roosevelt inaugurated in 1901 at the age of 43 years, retires, having served what he claims as two terms, at the age of 50 years.
Though Mr. Roosevelt is called the Twenty-sixth President, in reality he is the twenty-fifth man to fill that exalted office, Grover Cleveland having been the twenty-second and twenty-fourth Presidents. Mr. Roosevelt was the fifth man to become President through the death of the person elected by the people to the office, and the first to be elected who has thus succeeded to the presidency. Seven of our Presidents, viz.: Washington, Monroe, William H. Harrison,
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JUNE 26. 1908
Tyler, Taylor, were born in Virginia. Ohio comes second as the birth-place of our chief executives, five having first seen the light of day in that state. These were Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and McKinley. Of the other presidents, three were born in North Carolina; three in New York; two in Massachusetts and one each in New Hampshire Pennsylvania. Kentucky, New Jersey and Vermont.
Three of our Presidents have been assassinated since the inauguration of 1861, a record not equalled even by Russia. This, too, is notable when it is taken into consideration that America is "the land of the free." Two Presidents, previous to the Civil War, died in office.
If Mr. Roosevelt lives as long as former President John Adams, who holds the record for longevity, he will be a living ex-President forty years. Other ex-Presidents to reach a ripe old age were Madison, 85; Jefferson, 83; John Quincy Adams, 80.
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF CITY SCHOOLS.
It is a matter of congratulation that the new superintendent of the city schools is showing such an active interest in the welfare of the colored schools. Since his installation, two new school houses have been built for the children of our race and manual training and domestic science departments established. An incident characteristic of the man, we believe, was the appointment of the Principal of Pearl High School to supervise the examination of Negro applicants for positions in the schools, something that had not been done in this city before in twenty years. While we have not agreed with everything Prof. Webber has done, we must commend him for the healthy interest he is taking in the schools and we hope that the city public schools will soon surpass in efficiency and scope anything in the whole country as they now excel any schoolsystem in this Southland.
We are not disposed to continually criticise Dr. Booker Washington, and there was really much in his Louisville address to be commended; yet it seems that he might have found an excuse to cancel his engagement to speak before the International Sunday School Convention. From what we can hear, almost every Negro religious worker of any standing absented himself. Then why not Doctor Washington? Did he attend because the seats on the platform were not "Jim crowed?"
There have appeared several articles in the news columns of The Globe, stating that colored men employed in the local postoffice have either been discharged or have secured transfers to other branches of the postal service. What is the trouble? Is it that these men who have passed the Civil Service examination with very high marks are incompetent? Or, is it as Dame Rumor says, "An effort is being made to rid the post-office of all Negro employees?" We have heard something of a speech made by the Postmaster at Erie, Pa., some time ago, which did not add any laurels to that gentleman's record; yet we are loath to believe that men are appointed, promoted, or discharged from the service of the United Staes simply on account of their color. Something, however, must be wrong. What is it?
All of the schools have closed. The sweet girl graduate had her day, and now, with this hot weather to encourage them, "The Nashville Brand" will come out in all the beauty of those filmy summer dresses, such as only "The Nashville Brand" wear. "Do they wear sheath dresses?" We opine the Springfield Forum wants to ask. No sir! That is, not on the streets.
Another dastardly murder added to Nashville's already too long list! It is high time that some of these juries selected to try murder cases were rising above the question of how valuable an able bodied man is to the penitentiary as laborer, and enforce capital punishment in some of these notoriously heinous cases. If fewer men guilty of murder were sent to the penitentiary, it would not be long before some of these bad, bad, men
would put a curb upon their temper. A few more murderers should hang.
The passing of Grover Cleveland removes the one man that was strong enough to unite the discordant forces of democracy long enough to be elected President.
Now that the "steam roller" has accomplished things in Chicago, the Tennessee brigade will begin to line up for "Four, four, four years more" at the pie counter.
COMMUNICATION.
The Tennesseean: Let It Alone.
To the Nashville Globe
"Let it alone!" is what should be by every colored person of this city and elsewhere with reference to The Nashville Tennessee. This sheet, instead of conducting its fight against Gov. Patterson upon some real issue or his unfitness to succeed himself on account of his lack of ability as the Chief Executive of the State of Tennessee to govern well, goes to the proverbial wood-pile and gravels out an imaginary Negro, misrepresents him, and then holds him up in its vile columns as the reason why Gov. Patterson should not, according to Democratic custom, have a second term. It predicates its puny and miserable political fight upon the gin bottle, its obscene picture and the Negro. In a preceding communication the attempt was made to show that the better class of the Negro people has always worked with the better class of the white people to eradicate whatever evil that affected the welfare of the community.
The Tennesseean, like a drowning man, in its desperation to save itself and its protege, ex-Senator Carmack, from the muddy depths of defeat in the political stream that is bound to overwhelm them, is catching at the veriest straw to keep them afloat. It has gone beyond its depths at last; it has struck viciously at a time-honored democratic custom to land its candidate, Carmack, who seeks to gain his lost political prestige via the Capitol; that is saying that Carmack seeks to go by the way of the Capitol back to the United States Senate from which he was ousted by the redoubtable Bob Taylor. To get back he espouses the popular cause, prohibition, puts his saddle on its back and The Tennesseean is trying by any old hook or crook to help him mount. But from indications they are both nursing a forlorn hope. The Tennesseean cares nothing for state-wide prohibition. What it is trying to do is to pave the way for Carmack back to the Senate.
The intention of this communication is to say that the Negro people should not help sustain the existence of such a newspaper as The Tennessee. They have seen by its recent published articles—articles dripping with the vilest vituperations—what its position is toward them. In constitutional parlance he that gives aid, help or comfort to an enemy of the country is guilty of treason. Is not this true, in a sense, in other cases? Should the Negro people aid, abet or give pecuniary comfort to The Nashville Tennessee? Hundreds and hundreds of them are subscribers for it, which means much to its exchequer. As it has clearly shown in its recent issues that it has no respect for their feelings or safety, should they continue to support it? Why should they feed mentally on its vile abuse and muck? Ye Negro subscribers for The Tennessee, think on these things!
MT. OLIVE CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL.
This school was opened last Sunday morning with a very large attendance of officers, teachers and pupils. The lesson, which was a review of the quarter's work, was studied by the classes, after which Mr. Bert Stanley interestingly reviewed the work. The Secretary read the report of collections, which showed that Class No. 16 still holds the banner. After some remarks by the Superintendent benediction was pronounced. Tuesday night the teachers and officers met in their regular weekly meeting. The lesson for Sunday, June 28, is a "Temperance Lesson," and all seemed to take in the scope of the lesson before them Benediction was pronounced and the meeting adjourned.
BISHOP TYREE GOING TO SOUTH
PITTSBURG
Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D., of the A. M. E. Church, returned to the city Monday. He has been to Wilberforce, Ohio, attending the council of bishops. When seen by a Globe representative he was in his usual genial mood. He talked very interestingly about matters pertaining to his church work, and expressed himself as very hopeful of the future. Bishop Tyree will go to South Pittsburg Saturday and will preach a special sermon for the Knights of Pythias of that place and vicinity on Sunday.

PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL SUPERVISES EXAMINATIONS.
An occasion of considerable comment, favorable in the extreme, was the placing of Prof. F. G. Smith as the supervisor of the examination held for colored teachers in the city public schools last Saturday. This was the first time in twenty years that a colored teacher has had charge of the examinations given to colored applicants. The appointment was made by the new superintendent, Prof. Webber, and is characteristic of his desire to place men of integrity in positions of responsibility.
There were 91 applicants who took the examination, and it is reported that the order and discipline was as good, if not better, than when white principals were in control.
IN MEMORIAM.
The Passing of Little Clifford. Little Clifford Sykes was born January 31, 1900. Fell asleep in Jesus June 18, 1908, aged 8 years, 4 months and 18 days.
Little Clifford was a superior child in every respect and exceedingly bright and intelligent; the kind that abides not long on earth. He professed hope in Christ in May. While upon his bed of affliction he praised God unceasingly. A short while before his passing he asked his mother and sister to sing "Looking this way." Then he said, "Mamma, when I am gone don't cry, for I am not going to die; but am just going to sleep in Jesus' arms." And with his head on a pillow which had been placed in his mother's lap at his request, he fell asleep. He leaves a father, mother, two sisters and two brothers to mourn his departure, besides a host of friends.
Dearest Clifford, thou hast left us— Left us here to grieve your loss; But the Christ he will sustain us,
On that happy golden snore
Where we'll meet you, blessed baby,
Meet to part, no, nevermore.
HIS MOTHER, SALLIE SYKES,

A CARD.
The June Carnival held under the direction of the ladies of Howard Congregational Church, proved successful despite the inclement weather. No small part of this is due to the kindly aid of friends outside the membership of the church. The pastor and members of the church wish thus to thank these friends for their generous assistance; and especially to acknowledge the kindness of the Railway Protective Association, whose premises were tendered freely for the Carnival.

He is one of the greatest orators of the race. When he had finished, Miss Beatrice Steward, in a neat speech, presented him a nice bunch of flowers. Miss Blanchie Stevens sang a solo.

On Monday night many of the sisters from various churches called to say good-bye.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JUNE 26. 1908
ANNUAL MEETING OF GRAND
LODGE, K. OF P. AT
CLARKSVILLE.
The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias will hold its annual meeting in Clarksville this year, beginning July 14, and lasting three days. Interest in the meeting is about at the same pitch as in previous years, though it is possible that a larger crowd will attend from Nashville than has visited any of the previous meetings, on account of the nearness of Clarksville.
The Grand Lodge will be opened on Tuesday morning, July 14 with Dr. J. P. Crawford, who has been Grand Chancellor continuously since the institution of the Grand Body, in the chair. While no regular programs have been received in Nashville, so far as The Globe is able to learn, it is thought that Clarksville will follow the other cities and have public exercises which will be participated in by the city officials and prominent Knights from over the state. The Court of Calanthe, of which Dr. R. F. Boyd is Grand Worthy Counsellor, will meet in the same city on the same date.
It is expected that the Uniform Rank from over the state will be in Clarksville and will make a gala showing, as several companies have been organized. Among the prominent Knights who will undoubtedly attend the session are Sirs A. W. Fite, R. E. Gee, J. A. O. Broughton, J. B. Batte, A. M. Cockrill, Geo. E. Washington, Wm. Allen, J. W. Blaine, Dr. P. R. Burrus, S. J. Chandler, Jos. Webster, Dr. C. O. Hadley, Wm. Royster, R. A. Mayberry, J. P. Porter, S. W. Shelby and many others. A few of the old guard will doubtless not be on hand this year
PURITY LODGE, NO. 42, K. O P.,
ELECTS OFFICERS.

Miss Maggie E. Kelly and Miss John D. Thompson return with glowing accounts of their trip to East Tennessee. Miss Kelly's visit was principally to attend the Commencement of Knoxville College, from which her brother was a graduate, and to see the historical points in and near Chattanooga. Miss Thompson having successfully completed six months of work in the Deaf and Dumb School at Knoxville, also visited these places before departing for her home; she, too, having a brother attending Knoxville College. They found on visiting this school that the half had never been told them concerning it. The school stands for the highest education, morally and intellectually. The commencement program of the week was unsurpassed by any previous year. The excellent music was one of the charming features of the week's exercises. They also attended the city High School Commencement which was held in the largest Opera House in the city. While in Chattanooga the ladies were the guests of Miss Delolah Macauley, who visited Miss Thompson last summer. Needless to say that many friends were made, much hospitality shown them and many places of interest seen. Among the things that were in store for them on their arrival to the city and of which they express their greatest delight were a tallho party to Chickamauga Park Georgia, returning by way of Missionary Ridge; a trip to the Lookout Mountains, the highest points of which they ascended and were shown many of the historical points of the Civil War. Few words cannot express the delight and interest gained from these. Another thing of enjoyment while in Chattanooga, was a social give on in their honor at the beautiful home of Mrs. Pullein. They were the recipients also of dinners, other social affairs and outings given by friends of Miss Macauley. Miss Thompson is contemplating a visit to Danville, Ky., later in the summer Miss Kelly begins a course in stenography while in this city.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JUNE 26, 1908
EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND DEAD.
Princeton, N. J., June 24.—Grover Cleveland, twice President of the United States, died at 8:40 o'clock this morning at his home, "Westlan," in this quiet college town, where he had lived since his retirement as the nation's chief executive, almost twelve years ago.
When death came, which was sudden, there were in the death chamber, on the second floor of the Cleveland residence, Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, of New York, Mr. Cleveland's family physician and personal friend; Dr. George R. Lockwood, also of New York, and Dr. John M. Carnochan, of Princeton.
An official statement given out and signed by the three physicians, gave heart trouble, superinduced by stomach and kidney ailments of long standing, as the cause of death.
While Mr. Cleveland had been in poor health for the last two years, and had lost a hundred pounds in weight, his death came unexpectedly. Some three weeks ago he was brought home from Lakewood, where his condition for a time was such that the hotel at which he was staying was kept open after its regular season because he was too ill to be moved. But when Mr. Cleveland was brought back to Princeton, he showed signs of improvement and actually gained five pounds in weight.
Although confined to his room continuously after his return to Princeton, it was not until yesterday that Mr. Cleveland's condition aroused uneasiness on the part of Mrs. Cleveland. Undoubtedly affected by the heat, Mr. Cleveland showed signs of failure and Mrs. Cleveland telephoned to Dr. Bryant, who came over from New York on the train, arriving here at 4:24 p. m. Dr. Lockwood followed Dr. Bryant from New York, and when they reached here, Dr. Carnochan, who had been Mr. Cleveland's local physician since the former Präsident came to Princeton, was also called in. During the evening Mr. Cleveland seemed to rally and Mrs. Cleveland, who always has been optimistic about her husband's health, felt as sured that it was merely another of the many attacks Mr. Cleveland had suffered, and she informed those who inquired that Mr. Cleveland's condition was not serious.
Death Was Peaceful.
Mr. Cleveland became worse during the night and Mrs. Cleveland was called to the bedside of her husband. The distinguished patient sank into unconsciousness, from which he recovered at times only to suffer relapse. This continued throughout the night and early morning. The last time he became unconscious was about two hours before he died. Death was peaceful. Just before he died Mr. Cleveland sought to say something, but his words were inaudible. The text of the official statement given out a short time after Mr. Cleveland's death was as follows:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years had suffered from repeated attacks of gastritis of intestinal origin. Also he had a longstanding organic disease of the heart and kidneys. Heart failure, complicated with pulmonary thrombosis and oedema, were the immediate causes of his death."
Some two or three hours later Dr. Bryant, in answer to a question, said that "the heart failure which occasioned death was induced within twenty-four hours of the end, and death was finally due to that," thus corroborating the unofficial information that Mr.*Cleveland began to grow worse yesterday afternoon.
Funeral Friday.
It was not until late in the day that messages of condolence began to come in from all parts of the world to Mrs. Cleveland. One of the first was from President Roosevelt, who will attend the funeral, which will be held on Friday afternoon, and which, in deference to Mrs. Cleveland's wishes, will be as private as possible. Mr. Cleveland's body will be buried in Princeton Cemetery in the family plot, where lie the remains of Ruth, the eldest of the Cleveland children, whose death was a blow to her father. Mrs. Cleveland denied herself to all but a few callers. Prof. Andrew F. West, Prof. John Hibben, of Princeton University, and Bayard Stockton, a Princeton lawyer and a members of the famous Stockton family, were in charge of all arrangements.
Among those who came here to stay to extend personally their sympathy was Cleveland W. Bacon, of New York, a nephew of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Bacon is the son of Mr. Cleveland's sister, Mrs. M. B. Bacon, of Toledo, O. He came here in response to a telegram, and is assisting Mrs. Cleveland in the funeral arrangements.
Simple Funeral.
Others who came to Princeton were Paul Morton, President of the Equita- lfe Assurance Society, of which Mr. Cleveland was a trustee, and Richard Watson Glider, of New York, Mr.
Morton returned to New York in less than an hour after his arrival here. He came to Princeton for the sole purpose of extending his sympathy to Mrs. Cleveland and to tender his services. Another caller was Col. Frederick Gilkyson, Assistant Adjutant General of the National Guard of New Jersey, who came as the personal representative of Gov. Fort. Col. Gilkyson did not see Mrs. Cleveland, but through Prof. Hilben extended Gov. Fort's condolences and also tendered in behalf of the Governor the service of all or any part of the National Guard of the State as an escort at the funeral. The tender was declined because of Mrs. Cleveland's preference for a quiet funeral. So unexpectedly did Mr. Cleveland's death occur that not one of his tour children was at home. The children are at the Cleveland summer home at Tamworth, N. H., under the care of Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother. Word was sent to them of their father's death and they will start at once for Princeton. The children are Esther, aged 14; Marion, aged 12; Richard, aged 10, and Francis Grover, aged 5.
Condolences.
The telegrams of condolence came in by the hundreds from all parts of the United States and other countries during the night. Bosides President Roosevelt's telegram messages of condolence came from Government officials, Governors, legislators, prominent educators and citizens in various walks of life. very few of them, however, were read by Mrs. Cleveland, who decided not to attempt to learn of their contents until she has recovered from the shock caused by her husband's death.
Mr. Cleveland's selection of Princeton as a place of residence after leaving the White House was due to the visit the ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland made to Princeton in October, 1896, on the occasion of the Sesqui-Centennial of Princeton. The Cleveland were so impressed with the beauty of the town that they at once decided to make Princeton their future home. Until Mr. Cleveland's health began to fail him, two years ago, he continued to be a very busy man. His diversions in Princeton were daily carriage rides and an occasional fishing or gunning trip.
Stephen Grover Cleveland was born at Caldwell, Essex County, N. J., March 18, 1837. His father was the Rev. Richard F. Cleveland and his mother was before her marriage Miss Ann Neal. The family removed from New Jersey to Owondaga County, N. Y., in 1841, and there the President of the United States attended the village school and clerked in a store later. He removed to Buffalo in 1885 and became a clerk in the law office of Rogers, Bowen & Rogers, and was admitted to the bar in 1899. He was Assistant District Attorney of Erie County, in which Buffalo is situated, from 1863 to 1886, and was Sheriff of the county from 1870 to 1873. in 1881 he was elected Mayor of Buffalo, and while holding that office his veto of extravagant appropriations attracted outside attention and led to his nomination and election as Governor by the Democratic party in 1882. His career as Chief Executive of the Empire State added to his fame, and in 1884 he was elected President of the United States, defeating James G. Blaine by a majority of 37 electoral votes. in 1888 he was renominated but defeated by Benjamin Harrison. He returned to the practice of the law, locating in New York City, but in 1892 he was again elected President, defeating the man who had triumphed over him four years earlier. In 1896 he declined to follow his party in its declaration for free silver, and after his retirement from the Presidency he took up his residence at Princeton, N. J. He was elected trustee of the Equitable Life Assurance Society in 1905, and had been chairman of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents since January, 1897. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the National Civic Federation, and a member of the American Philosophical Society and the American Historical Association. He was at the time of his death a trustee of Princeton University, by which he was made an LL.D. in 1897. June 2, 1886, he married his ward, Miss Frances Folsom the wedding occurring in the White House. Five children were born to them, four of whom are still living.
Mr. Thomas Baker, of 609 Sevier street, is very sick.
Mr. Joseph Woods, of 630 Sylvan street, who has been sick, is able to be out again.
Mrs. Edward House, of 707 Sevier street, is indisposed.
