PYTHIANS TO MEET AT CLARKSVILLE DELEGATES FROM ALL PARTS OF TENNESSEE WILL ATTEND. GREAT INTEREST CENTERED IN ELECTION OF OFFICERS PROMINENT DELEGATE GIVES HIS VIEW—DR. J. P. CRAWFORD WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY BE RE-ELECTED PYTHIAN NEWS CALLED "FIREBRAND" TWO SUPREME REPRESENTA TIVES TO BE ELECTED. All the preparations for those attending the annual sessions of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias and Grand Court of Calanthe have been about completed. One or two special cars containing the delegates from this city, other points in Middle Tennessee, Elist Tennessee and a few from West Tennessee, will leave over the L. & N. Ry. next Monday afternoon. The opening sessions of the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court will be held at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and it is expected that Clarksville will be taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the large number of visitors present. The greatest interest as is usual with such bodies is centered in the election of officers. While it is expected that the contest will be a trifle more heated than usual this year it is more than probable that the present administration, with one or two exceptions, will be retained. In conversation with a representative of the Globe, one of the most prominent delegates from a lodge in this city had the following to say concerning the Grand Lodge: "An effort will be made to defeat Dr. J. P. Crawford, the incumbent Grand Chancellor, with Prof. W. H. Hastie, of Knoxville. Crawford will easily be elected, I think, on his past record. "The greatest opposition to the administration will probably come on the question as to whether the member of the Endowment Board appointed to succeed the late Prof. W. L. Cansler (I refer to Prof. A. Thomas Hill, of Pulaski), will be ratified by the Grand Lodge and Prof Hill elected to fill out the unexpired term. On the same grounds opposition will probably develop against Mr. John Cunningham, who was appointed Grand Trustee to fill the position vacated by Prof. Hill. "A firebrand in the Grand Lodge, in all probability will be the Pythian News. This paper was established since the last meeting of the Grand Lodge and the opposition, expects to make one grand assault upon the method pursued in establishing it. "Though there are a large number of candidates in the field for Supreme Representatives, it is practically settled that A. W. Fite, of Nashville, and B. J. Farnandis, of Memphis, will secure these two places. R. L. Mavfield has been announced as a candidate against J. Thomas Turner for Grand Attorney, but his chances of election are very slim. All in all the meeting at Clarksville promises to be a warm one, but at its close Nashville will be found controlling about the same offices as heretofore." STRANGE FISH IN KANSAS. Has Four Legs and Each Leg Has a Foot With Five Tecs. (Fairbury Correspondence Kansas City Times.) A great many guesses have been made to-day by the residents of Fairbury as to the name of a couple of animals, or fish, whichever they may be, brought in by Gus Bitzer, a Rock Island Engineer, when he returned on his run from Belleville, Kan. In appearance the things resemble a channel catfish, being of the same color and shape, but they have four legs and each leg has a foot with five toes. Immediately back of the head three growths appear on each of the animals. The strangers seem to get around every bit as well on dry land as they do in water. They have been on exhibition all day to-day and hundreds of persons have seen them, but no one has been found who ever had seen anything like them before. Bitzer caught them in a pool of water near Belleville yesterday. He says there are many specimens in the Belleville neighborhood, but nobody there seems to know what they are. The animals appear to be vicious and snap at anything held near them. MOTHERS' MEETING The mothers' meetings held at Jackson's Temple each Monday afternoon are growing more and more interesting. On Last Monday evening Mrs. M. E. Dickson addressed the ladies on the subject of "Proper Food." The lecture was very instructive and inspiring and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Many important points were brought out, which were afterwards discussed by the ladies. These meetings will be continued each Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and a cordial invitation is extended to all and especially to mothers. Refreshments are served after each meeting by the ladies of the church. PARKERSON—JAMES. Mr. David L. E. Parkerson, of 707 Ewing avenue, and Miss Mary James, of Eleventh avenue, North, were united in marriage last Monday. After the ceremony the bridal party left for Chicago, where they will spend a few days. On their return they will reside at the home of Mr. Parkerson, 707 Ewing avenue. IN MEMORIAM The friends of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Washington sympathize with them in the loss of their beautiful little Addie Lou, who died Sunday afternoon at the family residence, 135 Eleventh avenue, North, after only one or two days' illness. She was unusually bright and intelligent for her years, being a favorite in the neighborhood, where her flights were like the rays of sunshine. Quite a number of the friends and neighbors were present with flowers and tears of sympathy when Dr. C. H. Clark and Rev. Kirkpatrick officiated in the last sad rites. The death was quite painful to the dear grandmother, whose love was so manifest to the little one. The remains were laid to rest in a mound covered with flowers in Mt. Ararat. MISSING MAN FOUND: Mr. Jesse L. Leach, who offered $25 reward through the daily papers of Nashville last week for information concerning the whereabouts of his brother, John Herbert Leach, who mysteriously disappeared from his home two weeks ago, received a telegram notifying him that his brother John is in Louisville, and yesterday he received a letter that explained what appeared to be a mysterious affair. Mr. J. H. Leach is an agent for several firms in New York and Chicago. He was suddenly called to Louisville on a matter of business and failed to notify his friends. After a few days in St. Louis he will return home. OUTING CLUB ENTERTAINED. Mr. E. W. Byrdsong entertained the Columbia Outing Club at his beautiful home, "Hill Side," Wednesday night from 8 to 12:30. Games of various kinds were played. At 10 o'clock the party was invited into the dining-room, which was decorated in pink and white, where a menu of five courses was served, pink and white being used in the ice course, carrying out the color scheme. Those present were Misses Florence Slaten, Lizzie Voorhies, Ida Halfacre, Maggie Green, Pauline Byrdsong, Mary A. Dunson, Louise Armstrong, Sara Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Byrdsong, Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Green, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Irvine, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Young, Mrs. Katie Sloan, Mrs. Mattle Hudson, Mrs. Patton, Messrs. Clinton Wilkes and Grant. The party left at 2:26 a. m. for Columbia, carrying with them many pleasant memories. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Administratrix THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1908. SOME STORIES OF BLIND TOM Negro Pianist Long Great Money Maker. PROFITS PROBABLY AS HIGH AS $20.000 A YEAR. SAID TO HAVE MADE $200,000 ON A TRIP ABROAD—GREW TO SEE A LITTLE — DELIGHTED IN CRIES OF PAIN. From the New York Sun. Few public performers ever played to more money than Blind Tom, who died recently. He was prominently before the public for twenty years, and after that when his trustees were changed he still continued to play, but not with as much success. His new managers did not know how to handle him properly, and handling Tom took lots of tact. Until only a few years ago he played, and his last appearance was probably on the variety stage. For forty years he had been an attraction, and in the first half of that time he played in almost every town of any size in this country and Canada and made tours on the other side of the Atlantic. Even in small towns he did well, and as running this show was not an expensive affair the profits were large. A statement of accounts made by his old managers showed that in one month in 1884, which was spent in Virginia, the receipts were more than $4,000 and the expenses $2,000. He usually kept on the road for nine months out of the twelve, so that his yearly profits may have averaged about $20,000. On his trip on the other side it was said he realized about $200,000, so that Tom while in good hands was a source of steady income. It is singular that his old manager, Thomas Warburst, who for twenty years took him all over this country and through Canada, died six months ago, and it was under his management that Tom was most successful. He was then well cared for and well coached in his work, and he earned many thousands of dollars for the Bethune family, on whose estate he was born a slave. About twenty years ago Blind Tom got into the courts. He was born during slave times and later Gen. Bethune acted as his trustee. It was said that up to 1870 he had earned more than a quarter of a million dollars. Gen. Bethune then turned the trusteeship over to his son, John G. Bethune. John Bethune ran a racing stable which was said to be supported by Blind Tom's earnings. He died in 1883, and after his death his widow brought suit against the Bethune family, alleging that as widow of John Bethune she was the rightful trustee of Blind Tom. In this she was supported by Charity Wiggins, the mother of Blind Tom. Mrs. Bethune won her suit, and since 1886 Blind Tom has been in her care, but she only succeeded in making a success of him for a few years. Blind Tom was born a few miles from Columbus in the county of Muscogee, Ga., on May 25, 1849. His parents were field hands of the pure Negro blood, with nothing to distinguish them from the mass of their race, except that his mother had small feet and hands and was of an active, merry temperament. He was born on the estate of Thomas Greene Bethune, where his parents were slaves. Tom was born blind, and as he was unable to learn anything from sight it was generally thought that he was idiotic. When very young he showed a great fondness for sounds, and musical sounds exerted a controlling interest over him. He learned to talk when young and spoke clearly, but his words had no meaning and were simply imitations of what he heard. Gen. Bethune, when he heard what Tom's mother had said Tom had not sense enough to learn, declared this was a mistake. He went to Tom and said: "Tom, sit down." Tom repeated the words. The General then repeated the order and at the same time sat Tom on the floor. "Tom, get up," said the General. Tom sat still and repeated. He then ordered Tom to get up, and lifted him to his feet. Next time Tom learned quickly. Every once tried to teach him. When Tom was about 4 years old a piano was brought to the house and as soon as he heard this Tom was entranced. One night his mother had neglected to lock her door and Tom disappeared. He found his way into the Bethune house through an open window and early in the morning the piano was heard. Tom was seated before the instrument playing one of the pieces he had heard, and playing it correctly with both hands and us. the black as well as the white keys. From that time he was allowed to use the piano and soon he could repeat any piece he heard. Then he began to compose himself. He would sit at the piano for hours. When asked what he was playing he would say, "That was what the trees said to me," or "That is what the wind says." One day a German music teacher of Columbus heard Tom and declared that he knew more music than he could teach or learn. Tom was later coached by some pianists. They played for him and he learned what they played and afterward repeated it in public. In this way Tom learned to play thousands of pieces and his repertoire were sonatas of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bach, Mozart, all the best known marches, many of the pianoforte solos well known, plantation songs, and a number of original pieces descriptive of what he had heard. One of these was "The Rain Storm." When very young Tom used to stand in a passageway and listen to the rain pattering on the roof, and from this he made his "Rain Storm." He was not far distant from the battle of Manassas, and this he made the subject of another piece. Tom was born blind, but when 3 or 4 years old it was noticed that he spent much of his time with his face turned toward the sun. In time he developed a little sight. He could see luminous bodies, and persons whom he knew well he could recognize when a few feet away. When in public Tom would play what he was told to. When he had finished and was applauded he would turn toward the audience and applaud himself by clapping his hands. He seemed to take as much enjoyment out of his performance as his listeners. He was always happy when he was with a piano, and when he and his managers arrived in a town he was often locked in the hall in which he was to play during the evening. He was perfectly safe while he could play the piano. In many ways he was just like a child, but was even more trouble than a child. His meals were always served to him in his own room, and when the food was brought to him he would always insist that the sugar bowl should be as full as it was possible to make it. Unless it was full Tom would storm and refuse to eat anything. Then when he had finished his meal he would steal the sugar left and hide it. He was so helpless that he had to be dressed and even to have his face washed. It was not every one that he would allow to attend to his toilet. On one occasion his manager had to leave him in the hotel, and before leaving him explained how he could regulate the heat in the room. "Now," said he, "if this room gets too hot turn this radiator this way, and if too cold turn it the other way," and he illustrated what he said by guiding Tom's hand. Then to find out if Tom understood he asked what he would do if the room was hot. Tom had his fingers on the radiator and with ease pulled it out. When very young Tom used to like to hurt other children so that he might bear them cry. It was thought that he did not do this out of cruelty but because of his fondness for all sounds. Once he choked a younger brother nearly to death, and at another time burned an infant sister. This mania lasted all his life, and any exclamation indicative of pain always gave him great pleasure, although he always expressed sympathy for the sufferer. Once when in a small town his manager locked him in the hall as usual and Tom amused himself with the piano. When his manager returned he was surprised to find Tom holding a man down on the floor and almost choking him. The man was yelling and Tom was delighted. Another peculiar fancy of Tom's was to stand on his head. Almost the first thing he would do on entering his bedroom was to jump over the foot of the bed head first and stand on his head on the bed. This he would do over and over again, and then rub his hands and chuckle. When Tom first made his appearance many musicians were sceptical as to his abilities and many visited him. One of the first was Prof. George A. Kelly of Pittsburg. Tom was 4 years old at the time and in order to test him Prof. Kelly played a piece of his own composition which had not been published. Tom played it at once as accurately and with as much expression as the professor. Thirteen years afterward Prof. Kelly saw Tom again. Tom remembered the incident of many years previous and played the professor's piece for him again. Tom could name any note played on a piano, and musicians would try to catch him by striking keys at random, and however discordant the chords might be Tom would name every note with extraordinary quickness. He did this for Charles Halle, for Moschels and other noted musicians. The Albany Argus of January, 1866, described Tom as "a wild, uncoot figure, angular at all points which should be curved and curved at points that should present acute lines—loose jointed, close wooled, thick lipped, d, with forehead almost kinky locks, eyeballs distended, and an idiotic, staring expression of countenance—in short, a regular specimen of the African in his unadulterated and barbarous condition." It then described what Tom could do, how he would name any note struck, how he would call off correctly twenty notes that had been sounded rapidly, how he played Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique" without a false note or discord or omission. Tom's wonderful memory lasted through his life. When last performing in Brooklyn he was visited by the daughter of his old manager and asked if he remembered one who had gone twenty-five years before. "Why, yes," said Tom, "she used to wash my face," and then he talked of his old friends and seemed happier than he had been for a long time. SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices.

Asks $1,000 for Alleged Damage to His Complexion. The proprietor of a State street beauty parlor is being sued for $1,000 damages by John Ingraham, a negro, whose complexion has undergone a change that is unsatisfactory to him since he went there to have it improved. Graham had an attack of small-pox in his youth and the pits it left worried him. His torment kept him at home, and, of course, he read much. In the course of his literary pursuits he heard of Hetty Green having her face worked over. His mind was made up in a minute. It was he to the beauty parlors. His contract, Graham sets forth in his suit, was that the pits should be removed for the sum of $40. It was worth the money, he thought. Graham submitted to the operation. Then he blossomed forth freed from all marks and about the happiest man in his neighborhood. His joy was short-lived. One morning he was horrified to find his face was becoming spotted. Near where each pit had been there was a dark yellow blotch about the size of a quarter. The second day the spots turned lighter. Graham with three different shades, was the saddest man in the block. They did not go away either. The shades still show on his face. Attorney Benjamin Samuels brings the suit. He says the beauty parlor, with its massages and electric needles, is wholly to blame. The suit was begun in the Municipal Court. ENJOYABLE AFFAIR. Saturday night, July 4, Miss Ora L. Thelma Copeland entertained at her home, corner Second avenue and Chestnut street, a host of friends.

Within the next two weeks The Orion Publishing Company of Nashville, Tenn., will issue a new book from the pen of Sutton E. Griggs, already known to the reading public as the author of "Imperium in Imperio," "Overshadowed," "Unfettered," "The Hindered Hand," and "The One Great Question," the more notable of his works. The title of the forthcoming book is "Pointing the Way." It is written in story form, and the plot is said to be one of the most unique that has ever appeared in American literature. The general aim of the book is to point the way for the solution of the race question at its most acute point, the question of suffrage at the South. But wrapped about this question is a story of general human interest. Having ripened with years, it is now confidently expected that Mr. Griggs will more than ever challenge the attention of the best thought of the nation. As an indication of the impression Mr. Griggs has already made on the thinking public we cite the following comments concerning him: "He is undoubtedly a man of keen brain, determined optimism, true spirit."—Chicago Record-Herald. "He is without doubt one of the brightest and most thoughtful young men of his race."—Rev. P. B. Guernsey, A. M., ex-President of Roger Williams University. "I regard Mr. Griggs as out of the best informed men of my acquaintance in respect of the problem of the Negro. His thorough acquaintance with the facts involved and the remarkable gift of getting at the philosophy underlying the situation make him an authority in the solution of this vexed and vital problem of our time."—Rev. J. G. Merrill, D. D., President of Fisk University. "His work is uniformly strong and healthy, his 'Imperium in Imperio' being a powerful novel, full of the fire of genius."—T. Thomas Fortune. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Willie Lue and Rosa Anna, of 2914 Lawton avenue, St. Louis, gave their little four-year-old sister, Olga Hollis Starnes, a delightful birthday party on July 1. Music and games were the features of the evening. Cake, ices and fruit were served. The guest list numbered 14. Many beautiful presents were received.

STAND STILL. Never before since the Negro was granted the franchise has there been such an unwillingness upon his part to support the nominees of the republican party. In every state where the Negro vote is a factor in settling political contests there is general apathy among the Negro press if not open rebellion against the republican party. Brownsville will not down. The louder those who have been disposed to support Mr. Taft from the announcement of his candidacy proclaim the debt of gratitude the Negro owes the republican party for his freedom, the more persistently the dissatisfied ones point to Brownsville. The Negroes are dissatisfied. And they have just cause for their discontent. The election, however, is four months off and it would be the height of folly to proclaim before all the parties have made their platforms and nominated their candidates that one, voting solely upon issues as they are presented, should declare in advance that he will not vote for this or that candidate. There is no need of precipitate action. There is no need of rushing to the support of Mr. Bryan before it is known whether he and his party want that support. In this state, it is rather a rash act to declare without reservation that one will support Gov. Patterson for re-election irrespective of whom the republicans may nominate. The best thing to do at this early stage of the game is to stand still. The campaign has not fairly begun. Let the rational men hear both sides and then make up their minds as to how they will vote. GEN. LUKE WRIGHT. Criticism of President Roosevelt for the appointment of Gen. Luke Wright, of Memphis, as Secretary of War, has assumed such a phase of silliness as to make it ridiculous. Simply because Gen. Wright is from a Southern state, some of the Northern papers assume that he is a "Negrohating, unreconstructed democrat," so full of race prejudice that it oozes out from every pore of his body. The fact that he was a Confederate soldier, in their opinion, puts him beyond the pale of a just appreciation of whatever good qualities he may possess. These radicals who are criticising Mr. Roosevelt on account of Gen. Wright are following the course of Ben Tillman. They criticize simply because they are at odds with Roosevelt. One of the best tests of a man's worth is what his neighbors think of him. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JULY 10. 1908. By such a test Gen. Wright will pass muster. When he returned from the Philippine Islands a reception in his honor was held by the Negroes of Memphis. If Gen. Wright had been a "Negro-hating, unconstructed democrat," would this have happened? Gen. Wright was a Confederate and he fought well for the cause in which he had enlisted. But this is no reason why he should be held up as an enemy to the Negro. Any man of color who has lived long in the South knows that often the best friends of the Negro in this section were formerly "rebels." Gen. Luke Wright is a Southerner and it is probable that in the main his views on the race question are in consonance with those of the conservative South. But Gen. Wright a Negro hater! Any one who remembers the yellow fever epidemic at Memphis and the part Wright played in it would never be guilty of the thought. THE POST-OFFICE. At one time the officials in the local post-office were extremely sensitive to criticism. They would rush into print to defend themselves of even the suspicion of a charge. But now, they have grown so fat feeding on "steam roller" rations, that they pay no attention to the general rumors that things are made so unbearable to Negroes securing positions in the office that everyone who possibly can gets a transfer to some other department or to a post-office in another city. Perhaps these gentlemen have their positions fixed for four years more and care nothing for the complaints. Maybe they rest assured that the engineer of the "steam roller" will be in a place of power after the 4th of March, 1909, and care not what the Negroes and "that damn little Globe" may say. Gentlemen of the "steam roller brigade," you have a few Negroes following and supporting you. We seriously doubt if there is a single person among these but wants an office; but you owe it to them, to protect their self-respect by explaining why so few Negroes care to remain in the local post-office. Speak out, Maj. Wills and save your loyal supporters from the charge of sycophantism, cowardice and lack of loyalty to the race. The columns of The Globe are open to you providing you do not make your article too long. We might add to the Major that The Globe is also open for an explanation of the Erie, Pa., speech. Tennessee should be in the republican column when all the returns are in from the November election. But will such a result be accomplished? We think not. Federal officers are of more importance than local victories to the "pie brigade." They do not care to win in this state. The last campaign and the "I-wont-hear-you-for-one-minute" tactics prove this beyond a question of reasonable doubt. They do not want the Negro, but they will find that if they ever take a notion to fight for a state-wide victory they will have to take the race into consideration. In the death of Joel Chandler Harris America has lost one of her best known literary men. In his Uncle Remus stories Mr. Harris gathered the folk lore of our race and gave to the world the tales of Brer' Rabbit that had delighted the youth of the South almost if not from the introduction of African slavery. Mr. Harris was a kindly disposed man and was beloved by all who knew him. His article in the Saturday Evening Post something over a year ago in which he took a remarkably broad position for a man born and reared in the South will be recalled with a feeling of deep sorrow that Uncle Remus could not remain with us longer to scatter good will, peace and sunshine. The democrats have seen a light and are seriously discussing whether an open bid should be made for the Negro vote in the doubtful states. Of course, no one expects that party to take an open stand on the question on account of the South. Nevertheless, the discussion of the suggestion shows that many of the foresighted leaders realize that a "white man's party" can not win national elections. The rampant friends of Mr. Taft claim that he has been misrepresent- ed. If so, let Mr. Taft speak for himself. He will have a glorious opportunity to set himself right in his letter of acceptance. COMMUNICATION A Victory for the Race. To The Nashville Globe: Little Marie C. Bolden, of Cleveland, Ohio, thirteen years old, has won a signal and brilliant victory for herself and her people as well in being awarded the gold medal for the best speller in the national spelling contest which was participated in by representatives from four of the great city schools of the country. These representatives were in teams, composed of fifteen pupils, and came from the following cities: Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburg, Pa.; Erie, Pa., and New Orleans, La. The latter represented Dixie Land. It is significant that though no child belonging to the Negro race was a member of the team coming from this the largest city of the South and representing its highest culture, it was the farthest from the goal when the contest was ended. It is also significant that one of the teams having Negro children in it was the winner and that a little Negro lassie was the best of that team and was accordingly awarded the coveted medal as the champion child speller of the United States. She is the product of a people of less than fifty years of freedom, and her achievement is indicative of what is being done by a people whose soul is hungering for mental culture. Does not this particular contest tell in a way plainer than words that the whites of the South have devoted too much time teaching their children race prejudice, to keep abreast with the Northern schools, where Negro children are not debarred. Has not such a course on the part of the whites been the greatest retardation to the progress of the South? It has been maimed and injured by its friends for the unwarranted reason of keeping the Negro people down. Its material progress as well as its mental advancement has been held in abeyance, because of the fatal weakness of trying to stop the upward march of the Negro. But the fact that the Negro is making the best of his advantages or opportunities is being demonstrated ever and anon from childhood to manhood. It is a worthy and commendable ambition that he is writing his name higher and higher upon the shaft that holds the records of the achievements of modern civilization. It is well that some of the fairest and most representative white newspapers have said that little Miss Bolden covered herself as well as her team and school with glory. She measured up grandly to the task assigned her, and every member of her race should be and is proud of her. She is the justly proud possessor of a gold medal that attests her ability in orthography and proclaims to the world that she is the best child speller in America. Out of the 500 test words given her she did not misspell one. Therein she covered herself with glory and reflected credit upon her people. Another Esther to the rescue of her people, she will help to thwart the machinations of the Haamans who would cast aspersions of doubt upon the ability of her people. In conclusion, let it be said that the Negro is going to stick to his purpose and upon the anvil of endeavor is going to hammer out a glorious destiny. IADECFE "GREATER NASHVILLE EDITION." The Nashville Globe Planning to Bring Out Such a Number. The management of the Nashville Globe has decided to bring out a "Greater Nashville" edition of the Nashville Globe. This was discussed at its annual meeting, but the exact time for issuing the number was not then definitely decided. It has now been agreed that the better time for bringing out this special number would be about the middle of August or just before the opening of the schools and colleges. In other words about "Harvest time." The plan is to have the Nashville Globe take up every profession, every business and every industry in this great city, and to show to what extent the Negro is interested, and just what part he is playing in the religious, professional, business and financial world—at least that part of it played by the Negro in Greater Nashville. A Globe representative has been instructed to call on the business and professional men of the city to solicit their co-operation in making this "Greater Nashville' Edition" the greatest movement ever put on foot by a Negro newspaper in the United States. The churches are urgently requested to join in the movement. The management of the Globe states that it is their desire to have a cut and a short write-up of each church and every business concern doing a large or a small amount of business in this city. The people outside the city and the state do not know the advantages to be derived in Nashville, nor do they know the enormous amount of money invested in real estate and business enterprises conducted by the Negroes in this city. It would be surprising even WHY NOT GIVE US A TRIAL! We can sell you MERCHANDISE, Such as Men's Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Ladies' Skirts, Children's Clothes and Furnishings, Hardware, Tools, Jewelry, Watches, Diamonds, Musical Instruments, Phonographs, Records, Notions, Novelties and Sporting Goods, CHEAPER THAN MOST MERCHANTS CAN BUY IT. to the citizens of Nashville, if they knew the value of the real estate and amount of personal property owned by Negroes in Greater Nashville. When the Globe representative calls on the ministers, the business and professional men of the city with respect to this "Greater Nashville edition," it is to be hoped that they will lend their cooperation and contribute to its success, as it is already a forgone conclusion that the edition will be published and sent out—large or small. It will be replete with information and will serve as a guide to the city. It will also stimulate to a greater activity the concerns working on a small scale, as well as those who contemplate entering actively into the professional or business life in Nashville. The people can help in this movement to a great extent by calling at the Globe office and asking for information concerning this proposed edition. The Globe has worked zealously and untiringly for the upbuilding of the city, as well as for its people. Let the people now join hands and help the Globe in a larger effort. SPECIAL SERVICES AT. MT. OLIVE CHURCH On Sunday, July 12, there will be a special service all day at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. It will begin with Sunday-school at 9:30 a. m.; the school will be in its quarterly rally. The contest for the gold crown for the next three months will be decided. It will be known after Sunday morning whether the crown will remain as at present with class No. 16 or whether it will be given over to some other class in the school. Friends of all the classes are determined to pull for the crown. At the teachers' meeting Tuesday reports from the various classes show that the enrollment for the school had increased to 315, while the regular attendance of any one Sunday during the year remains at 260. At 11 o'clock church services will begin. The entire congregation will be seated in the main auditorium, which has been renovated, beautifully painted, the walls frescoed, the pews given a thorough cleaning and new carpets put on the floor. The church looks like a new building. The spacious auditorium will possibly not be able to accommodate the large number of people that will be present on Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and Sunday night. The day will be given over to a special rally for the church. GLOBE SUBSCRIBERS IN THE WEST. There comes to the Nashville Globe a batch of subscribers from the Far West, away out on the Pacific Coast. They were induced to subscribe for the paper by reading several copies that were passed over to them by Mr. David E. Brown, of Pasadena, Cal., the father of the celebrated violinist, Miss Hester O. Brown. "The parties expressed themselves as being well pleased with the high-class matter contained in each week's issue of the Globe, as well as the general appearance and neatness of the paper," said Mr. Brown in sending in the names. Noticeable among the prominent on the list are Mr. Abel H. Evans and Mr. John Martin, of Pasadena, and Rev. R. F. Jones, of Los Angeles. These three gentlemen were especially extravagant in their praise of the paper, declaring that the West has not yet produced a journal the equal of the Globe. CHILDREN'S PARTY. Master Joseph DeWees Lawrence, of 1829 Ament street, gave a party to his youthful friends at the residence of his grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. E. M. Lawrence, last Monday afternoon. The occasion was in celebration of the natal day of the young host. Master Lawrence proved himself an acceptable host and the large number of youngsters present enjoyed the amusements provided for them. Those present were J. L. Morton, Willie B. McCutcheon, A. M. Townsend, Jr., A. J. Moorman, Peter Carr, Eliza Perkins, Annie May Morton, Salyne Brown, Laura S. Lott, Ruth Ellen Bandy.

A man named Edward Clements, while engaged in an altercation, drew his revolver and fired at the man with whom he was quarreling, but missed his mark. The bullet struck Mrs. Ezell, who had a refreshment stand on the grounds, and she fell to the ground, bleeding from the nose and mouth. She was picked up by her friends and carried to a house near by. A doctor was sent for, but before he could reach her the injured woman passed away. The man who did the shooting made his escape and nothing has since been heard of him. It is stated, however, that Clements bears a good record, and consequently was unknown to the police. Mrs. Ezell was highly respected by those who were acquainted with her and had many friends who deeply regret her sudden death. PLEASANT TIME BY FISHING PARTY. On last Tuesday Bishop Tyree, Mr. A. McEwen and Prof. Richard Hill went out on a fishing trip. Bishop Tyree carried his gun to help supply the pleasures of the day. The party went by pike to the Stones River, where they proceeded to fish and fish. They were so busy driving the fish up to the baited hooks that they forgot to keep up with the weather calendar, and so it rained. Bishop Tyree had gone out to find a squirrel and Prof. Hill had taken the horse to water. He soon realized, however, that all that was necessary was for the horse to hold his head up and the water would run in. The rain came down in torrents. Bishop Tyree managed to outrun the shower and make it to shelter. Mr. McEwen fished right on through the storm. He caught one great big white "sucker." Snakes, turtles, etc., had to bare their share of the lead in their backs. The party spent a very pleasant day, and all returned full of glee and dampness. Out of Town Days.

Mr. Cooper ran on Nashville & Montgomery R. P. O. for several years, but was finally transferred to his old home at Huntsville, Ala. Being the only Negro on the line at that time, he was sent threatening letters, and clerks on the line endeavored to scare him away. After failing in this, the people at a small tow reported that he opened some mail from that place. After the Post Office Department investigated and exonerated him, he was arrested by the state authorities and has been suspended from duty about two years pending trial. The writer was talking to one of the officials of the R. M. S. to-day and he stated if Mr. Cooper so desired he could return to work immediately.

Waco, Tex., July 6.—Prominent Negroes of this section are said to be preparing to take a decided action showing their disapproval of what is known as the lily white wing of the Republican party in Texas, comprising white Republicans and such Negroes as work harmoniously with them. The opponents of the lily whites say they will go to Denver prepared to agree to vote for the Democratic nominees for National officers provided they are treated right. They say further that the Democrats of the South are the Negro's best friends and do more for their race at all times, one else. They are a Rev. W. L. Douglass, M.

This city entertained the most distin- guished delegation of religious work- ers in the Sunday-school and the vari- ous departments of religious work that was ever assembled in the State of Florida by any one denomination. Jacksonville is by rights a cosmo- politan city, and when the welcome ad- dresses that were extended to the Congress which was held at the Bethel Baptist Institutional Church were fin- ished, the most skeptical of all minds conceded that Jacksonville is in real- ity what it claims to be. The promoters of this religious movement, which has already stirred the entire United States to greater re- ligious activity, were not slow in mak- ‘ing known the fact that they had laid ‘extensive plans to have thousands of -workers interested before the next ses- sion convenes. The personnel of the meeting was of the highest intellectual type. Such speakers as B, W. D, Isaac, the editor of the National Baptist Union, Nashville, Tenn.; H. T. Mussel- man, of the American Baptist Publica- tion Society, Philadelphia; N. B. Broughton, Vice President of the Southern Baptist Sunday — School Board, with headquarters in Raleigh, N. C.; Chas. T. Walker, D. D., of Au- gusta, Ga.; together with scores of well-rendered papers, carefully _ pre- pared by prominent Sunday-school workers, touching every phase of Sun- day-school work, gave to this meeting a superior touch and an advanced ster in modern Sunday-school methods an¢ improvements. ‘The entire sessions were void of the usual delays—time killing methods of office-electing. Eact session was given exclusively to the rendering of papers by persons whc are familiar with Sunday-school work ‘The presiding officer, Rev. C. H Clark, D. D., adopted the “commor consent” method of disposing of al subjects and topics, There was neve! an occasion to use a gavel. A larg Florida palmetto fan was substituted ‘The arbiter, W. 8. Ellington, D. D., 0 Nashville, was extremely interesting managing at all times to put the finish ing touch on every subject and brinj out more thought by his analyses, evel though the subject seemed to hav been exhausted by the discussions But the climax of the entire meetin: was on Sunday afternoon when th populace turned out in full force an packed the Duyal Theatre to hear th masterly address of Dr. C. T. Walke on “Practical Christianity.” Mor than two thousand people crowded th galleries of this historic playhous They applauded when Dr. R. H. Boy introduced the speaker for the ever ing. The music throughout the Congres which was conducted by Rev. N. I Pius, of Springfield, Ohio, was perfec Jacksonville has not witnessed bette renditions or better selections. The were pleasing even to musical critic Rosmond Johnson, the famous mus ' cian, sat in the audience on Sunde evening and listened to the pleasir renditions by a chorus of one hundre voices, which pealed forth selection written and set to music by Negro a thors. In an interview with the Secreta! of the Sunday School Congress, ™ J |Henry Allen Boyd, he stated that most important and new features the meeting were, first, the teache training course, which is practical established, and which terminates the close of the Congress each yet The Sunday-school teacher is to ~| given full benefit of a thorough cour The next was the laymen’s missiona movement that is being encourag which will no doubt culminate in B | first real session at the next anni meeting. Another feature of the C gress was the Educators’ Conferen which brought together a large nu » |her of presidents, principals and p ) |fessors from universities, colleg academies and high schools, who ¢ cussed the religious training featu without overlooking higher educat ‘and industrial work. ‘THE NASHVILLE GL@BD, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1908. the’supervisto@iof Rev, Wm, Beckham, | dianap. |p.

Anderson, the well-known lawyer, who resides at 24 Tennessee street, Was seriously injured a day or so ago by the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of Felix Tip- pens, a little fellow with whom he was playing. Immediately after the accident Dr. R. F. Boyd was called and did everything possible for the wounded child. The bullet, it is said, entered the forehead of the boy, and at first it was thought that there was but little hope of recovery. Young Tippens declares that his father sent him for the pistol, but his mother de- nies it, and says the boys had. pro- cured the revolver without her knowl- edge. Wednesday afternoon Dr. Boyd telephoned to the Globe that “Mr. Anderson's son gets no better nor worse. We have some hopes that he will recover.” IN HONOR OF MISS BJCKNER. Messrs.
