THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. III. BAPTISTS OF TENNESSEE Assemble in State Convention at Spruce Street. BAPTIST CHURCH WITH LARGE DELEGATIONS PRESENT. ALL SECTIONS OF THE STATE REPRESENTED — WELCOME ADDRESSES BY PROMINENT CITIZENS OF NASHVILLE PROF. W. S. THOMPSON, OF THIS CITY, ELECTED SECRETARY — CONVENTION GETS DOWN TO BUSINEES IN EARNEST THURSDAY MORNING EDUCATION THE MOTTO OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE CONVENTION — PRESIDENT HAYNES DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS. This week 'Nashville is apparently in the hands of the Tennessee Baptists, hundred of delegates have come here from every city, every town, every village and every cross-road in the state of Tennessee where there is a Negro Baptist church—and that seems to be everywhere—taking advantage of this occasion to swell their attendance and make their deliberations in this the twenty-first annual session one of the best in their history. The Convention was opened Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of the Sylvan Street Baptist Church, and Financial Agent of Roger Williams University, is president. The devotional exercises were led by Rev. L. Drane, of Chattanooga. The welcome addresses were delivered by Rev. D. T. J. Townsend, Rev. S. A. Matheus, J. C. Napier, Rev. Dr. W. C. Golden, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Mayor J. S. Brown, Rev. B. J. Gordon, Rev. E. W. S. Hammond and Rev. E. F. B. Amos. The response to these addresses was delivered by Rev. Dr. Thomas O. Fuller, of Memphis, President of Howe Institute Prof. W. L. Cansler, the Secretary, died shortly after the adjournment of the last convention. Prof. W. S. Thompson has been acting as Secretary, and an election took place at the morning session to fill the vacancy of Secretary, and he was elected. The Enrollment Committee—Rev. J. C. Fields, Nashville; Prof. G. N. Bowen, Jefferson City; Rev. E. W. Williams, Memphis—enrolled the delegates and reported over two hundred present. The Finance Committee follows; Revs. G. P. Woodson, Paris; W. H. Bowers, Whiteville; E. M. Seymour, Clarksville. There will be many matters of vital importance, concerning the Baptists of this state, under consideration, the whole week. The first two days of the session have been filled with these all-important questions. Overshadowing all other matters that may come up before the Convention is the matter of providing funds for the maintenance of Roger Williams University. This is regarded as of supreme importance. The President of the Convention, Rev. William Haynes, D. D., of Nashville, states that despite the panic and the tightness of financial matters generally, the prospects are bright for the work of the institution, it being highly probable that the remaining $5,000 necessary to secure the $15,000 from the Baptist Home Mission Society would be secured at this meeting. A strong delegation from West Tennessee, headed by Rev. T. J. Searcy, of Memphis, and Rev. William Collier, District Missionary for West Tennessee, is here attending the convention. Dr. Searcy says that the Western delegation will be satisfied with the usual proportion of the educational funds for Howe Institute located in Memphis. Dr. Searcy, the leader of the Western forces and Rev. Haynes both agreed that in view of the needs of the Roger Williams University, and the fact that it is the only university in the State under the direct control of Negroes, it should receive a larger proportion of the educational funds coming to the convention. Some of the leaders maintained that only th NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1908. stated proportion of the designated funds should be divided among the various schools, and that all moneys sent to the convention and designated for either of the institutions should be so appropriated. Judging from the large crowds of ministers and delegates already here, a larger attendance will be had on this convention than at any time before in its history. The following was the program for the evening's exercises: Song service by the First Baptist Church Choir, East Nashville; Scripture reading by Rev. S. M. Jackson, Paris; prayer by Rev. Wm. Cannon, Shelbyville; missionary sermon by Rev. Wm. Bradshaw, Knoxville; missionary rally and then the benediction by Rev. F. W. Wallace, Knoxville. Thursday's session was a busy one. Rev. Wm. Haynes, President of the Convention, read his annual address. The reports of the officers occupied the remainder of the morning. At the afternoon session the reports from the heads of Roger Williams University, Howe Institute, and Nelson Merry College were read. At night Rev. C. A. Bell, of Chattanooga, preached the educational sermon. The collections for the day were for the cause of education. On Friday the meeting will be held on the campus of Roger Williams University. At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon there will be a mass meeting at Spruce Street Baptist Church. The Convention will adjourn Sunday night. The women's Auxiliary to the Baptist State Convention met Thursday morning at the First Baptist Church with the following officers: Mrs. M. E. Hamilton, President, Knoxville; Mrs. M. H. Flowers, First Vice President, Nashville; Mrs. A. Phillips, Second Vice President, Memphis; Mrs. V. W. Broughton, Recording Secretary, Nashville; Mrs. F. P. Cooper, Corresponding Secretary, Memphis; Mrs Lucy Carter, Treasurer, Knoxville Most of their efforts during the session will be spent in mission work. MR. AND MRS. HUMPHREY BOWLING ENTERTAIN.

North. There were quite a number of young people present in the afternoon. In the evening friends of the family were invited to be present. Quite a number partook of the hospitality of the Bowling home. Mr. Bowling had prepared one of his usual tasty menus, which was served to the guests.

MERRILL'S EXPLANATION Tells the Public Why He Resigned as President. SHOWS REMARKABLE GOURAGE IN THE COURSE TAKEN. DEEMED IT BEST FOR THE UNIVERSITY—HAD REACHED THE LIMIT OF ABILITY AS A MONEY-GETTER—NOT AN EASY THING TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE INSTITUTION—EXPRESSES HIGH APPRECIATION OF LOVING CUP FROM STUDENTS—WORK OF FISK APPEALED TO HIM AS NONE HAD DURING HIS PUBLIC CAREER — GREATEST SCHOOL OF ITS KIND ON PLANET—FUTURE OF FISK BRIGHT. Since the announcement, first published in The Globe, that Dr. J. G. Merrill, President of Fisk University, had resigned, there has been a deal of speculation as to the probable cause of his resignation. Dr. Merrill was generally loved by every one with whom he came in contact and his profound interest in what concerned Fisk and the Negro race caused the news of his resignation to be received as a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Not only was the public at large surprised, but the determinant of Dr. Merrill to lay down his work as President of Fisk came with equal unexpectedness to the Trustees, Faculty and students of the school. The reasons why Dr. Merrill resigned have not been made public heretofore. But that Dr. Merrill gave up his place with the sole desire that the school might profit by having a President who might be a greater collector of funds is made apparent from the following letter: In your kindly editorial concerning my resignation at Fisk University, which found me in New York City yesterday, the expression occurs: "No matter for what cause Dr. Merrill relinquishes his position," etc. etc. This expression has set me to thinking that it would be wise for me, if you will, through your columns, to state the reason for my resignation. This step which evidently was a surprise to everyone was not a hastily taken one on my part. To put the matter briefly: When I undertook the work at Fisk University it was in debt. There was not a donor who gave annually or otherwise for the current expense of the school. The American Missionary Association was appropriating $10,0.0 per year. I have been able to secure an average of about $10,000 per year; some of this was designated by the donors for endowment or for building purposes, but enough was available for current expense to have enabled the institution to have avoided an increase of indebtedness had the American Missionary Association been able to continue its full appropriation of $10,000 per year. This it could not do, owing to the claims made upon its treasury by other branches of its far-reaching work I found myself unable to secure the money needed for our constantly expanding undertaking. It did not seem to me wise to restrict the growth of the school. Up to a certain limit I could command the gifts of those who loyal to me and to the cause which I pleaded, could be counted upon to afford a stated income. Beyond this point I seemed unable to go. I have approached those who are accustomed to give for such a cause as ours: in many cases I have gone several times. Often I have found them pledged to undertakings which had possession of the soliciting field in the years when Fisk had no representative to present its claims. I set in motion all the agencies at my command to secure funds, and not until sufficient time had elapsed to show that I was not to succeed, did I reluctantly reach the conclusion the I should no longer defer giving to the Trustees an opportunity to put a more successful money-getter at the head of the institution. I insisted upon the acceptance of my resignation if it was the expectation of the Trustees that the President of Fisk should be held responsible personally for securing the money needed for current expenses and endowment. It was not an easy step for me to take. The loyalty and affection of the young people has always touched me deeply. Their gift of a beautiful loving cup at the close of this last year did not make it any easier for me to carry out the determination to resign, of which they little dreamed. I desire to express my appreciation of the hearty co-operation of a Faculty as devoted to their work as that of any school that I have heard of and to thank them for their expressions of regret in view of our separation. I am exceeding glad that I have given nine of the best years of my life in the service of an institution which has appealed to me as has no other cause during my public career. That I have been able to weave into the lives of any young people anything which makes for manhood and womanhood has been a joy. That I have found the alumni of Fisk so ready to believe in and trust one whom they have known for so brief a period has been an inspiration. It has been moreover a delight to have found in the heads of other schools for the Negro such companionable and co-operative fellow-workers. I trust that the future will show harvests for my sowing beside all waters, that the donors who have made my administration possible will continue to recognize the needs of the University and those who have put our cause in their "wills" will remain steadfast. I know that Fisk-University is a chosen instrument of God for the advancement of a cause dear to his heart. In His own best time and way He will enable the institution that has done so much to do more than we to-day can think or even imagine. And now, Mr. Editor, please pardon one closing word! I am convinced that the trustees acted wisely under the circumstances in accepting my resignation, and personally I am very grateful for the very appreciative resolutions which they have placed on record and which I would send you for publication had I not already trespassed too greatly upon your space. Fisk University was never so strong as it is to-day. The debt to which I have referred is insignificant in comparison with its uninumbered assets. A new man who can find a new constituency to add to that which I have secured will be able to match with increased financial ability the inevitable growth of the greatest school of its kind on the planet. IN HONOR OF MISS M. L. LOGUE. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Manson, of 1977 Lewis street, entertained a few friends Monday evening in honor of Miss Mamie L. Logue, of Lebanon. Among those who partook of Mr. and Mrs Manson's hospitality were Misses Mamie L. Logue, Daisy and Cecil Bolden. Emma Thompson. Minnie Peaks. Please Peaks, Mary Holman. Vera Thompson.

They are personal friends of Mrs. Townsend, as Rev. Townsend pastored in Brownsville for some time. The evening was spent in innocent amusement and in pleasant conversation. Towards a late hour the guests were invited to the beautifully decorated dining-room where a three-course menu was served. Those present were Mrs. Mattle Moore of New York. Misses Elizabeth and Omel Reed of Brownsville. Tenn. Jennie P. Dunson. Gertrude Mayberry. Birdie King, Ellen Mal Henderson. Floise Frierson, Georgia Winston. Marlon Lewis. Minnie Dalley Messrs Ewing Dobson, John Fleming Major Peterson, George L. Harris H. A. Boyd, S. Evans Shirley and H. Anderson. No.29 EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR THE OGGASION. A GALA DAY ANTICIPATED BY THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS—NO STONE BEING LEFT UNTURNED — BEAUTIFUL FLOATS WILL BE SEEN IN THE PARADE — FIELD ATHLETICS WILL BEGIN AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE FORENOOON—FLOWER PARADE A SPECIAL FEATURE — SHAM BATTLE IN AFTERNOOON—GRAND DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS TO CLOSE CELLEBRATION. August the eighth will be a red letter day in the history of Nashville. The occasion will be a grand emancipation celebration at Greenwood Park by the Negroes of Nashville and the State of Tennessee. Heretofore this celebration has been observed on the first day of January, but the condition of the weather has always been a barrier to the success of the day. So the people decided that a season in which the weather would be more congenial would be preferable. August the eighth was decided upon, and to add to the magnitude of the occasion, Mr. Preston Taylor, proprietor of Greenwood Park, that beautiful resort that has added hours of rest and a place of recuperation, has arranged to dedicate the park on that day to the Negroes of Nashville and the state of Tennessee. The programme as arranged is in itself a guarantee that it will be a glorious day. The celebration will begin with a grand street parade. The procession will form at 9 o'clock, corner of Fifth Avenue, North, and Crawford street, headed by a brass band, under the chief marshal and staff, and march south on Fifth avenue to Ash street, where they will take cars for the park. It will be composed of several of the drill corps, lodges, societies, schools and citizens with vehicles, horseback riders, etc. One of the most beautiful spectacles will be the floats in the parade. This being the Forty-sixth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, it is anticipated that the people will join to make it a glorious time. Greenwood Park is one of the creatures of the proclamation, and every Negro feels that he should have a part in its dedication. The program at the park will run as follows: At eleven o'clock in the morning two of the best ball teams in the South will line up on the athletic field to contest for supremacy. This promises to be one of the features on the program, and the spectators can enjoy the contest from the commodious grand stand that has just been completed. At one o'clock will come the flower parade. In this event Nashville will put on her best, and the fair sex will shine most brilliantly. Beautiful traps to which will be attached some of the finest roadsters in the state, will be driven by ladies robed in elegant gowns. This feature of the day alone will attract thousands to the park at the first hour of the afternoon. Two o'clock, the hour set for the dedication, is a time that has been looked forward to since the first day the park was thrown open to the public. Mr. Preston Taylor has been asked time and again, "When will you dedicate the park?" But he has always given some excuse in an effort to satisfy their curiosity. In talking to a Globe representative he said, "I want to have everything as nearly completed as possible when I dedicate the park." And he has added improvements from time to time until he has to-day the finest park in the South conducted by an individual for the people; but he has not stopped making improvements. If you go every day you will see some new feature he has planned under way. At four o'clock the dress parade will take place. This parade will consist of all the departments, and will wind up just in time for the GEO. W. McKISSACK. Contractor, Builder and Practical Bricklayer He has always been able to please the homefolks.

LYNCHING PREVENTED BY NE- visiting GROES. North C Little Rock, Ark., July 20.—As a result of the shooting affray which took place in this city last week, in which a Negro shot and killed a white tramp who, it is said, attempted to force himself upon the premises of the hotel after being duly warned by the cook who had charge of the kitchen through which the tramp attempted to enter, an effort to lynch the man did the shooting was made, but the Negroes of Hot Springs proved themselves to be equal to the occasion. They were determined and outspoken in their demand that the law should be upheld and allowed to take its course. They organized themselves into a law-preserving band. They forced the preservation of the law by arming themselves with Winchesters, shot guns and pistols, and proceeded to guard the jail. It is learned that quite a number of whites, determined to lynch the Negro, went to the jail but upon their arrival it was found that they were out numbered three to one. The showing made by the Negroes completely disturbed the balance of the would-be white mob, and it was soon dispersed. Negroes were seen on Central Avenue and on Malvern Avenue in large numbers. No effort was made to conceal their weapons. Many were heard to say that Hot Springs should not be the scene of a lynching party, except it occurred over the dead bodies of scores of determined members of the race, who, while condemning crime, regardless of who commits it, had sworn that the law, and the law alone, properly put in force, should punish the criminals. Hot Springs now goes on record as being one of the few towns in the Southland where the Negroes are not afraid to openly defy mob law and violence. As yet no further demonstration has been made, and it is presumed that the man charged with murder will be allowed an opportunity to present his case. He claims that the shooting was in self-defense and that the tramp, after being given permission to cut wood in the yard for his dinner, thought to overpower the Negro cook and ransack the kitchen. Hence the claim is made that the Negro shot in self-defense, as the white man approached in a threatening manner with an ax. MURFREESBORO NOTES.

In the selecting of officers for the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, which is in session in this city, there was quite a lively but friendly contest over the selection of a secretary. It was a three-cornered race. The contestants being J. C. Neal, of Memphis, and Dr. A. M. Townsend and Prof. W. S. Thompson, of Nashville. It will be remembered that Prof. Thompson served out the unexpired term of the late Prof. W. L. Cansler. Although young in the denominational work, he has been able to gather around him a staunch set of supporters, mainly from the fact of his competency and his Christian-like deportment. The efforts to elect a secretary consumed a large part of the day, and the election of Prof. Thompson was a distinct honor for Middle Tennessee, which can boast of having both the secretary and the president located in this city, which fixes the headquarters of the Tennessee Baptists in Nashville for another year. The other two candidates were men of high integrity, good Christian records and highly respected. CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT. Mrs. Lizzie Wilson entertained the Tatler Club, No. 6, of the Woman's Extension Board on Wednesday, July 15. The meeting was a delightful and successful one, a large membership and many visitors being present.

Ginger ale and frappe were served from a cut glass bowl on a prettily decorated table lighted with candles in silver candlesticks, with pink and silver shades, on the porch, and delicious ices and cake were served later. After the business was disposed of an enjoyable musical program was rendered, an added feature being music from a large graphophone, which completed a very charming evening.

M., Principal of Hadley Public School, this city, is a college graduate of Roger Williams University, and Fisk University, holding the degrees of B. S., M. S., and A. M. After graduating from college he taught for two years in the public schools of Texas. Then he was elected Principal of Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., where he served three years as Principal and Professor of Math- [Image of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and tie, with a mustache.] PROF. E. W. BENTON, A. M. ematics and Languages. In 1895, a competitive examination was held in Paducah, Ky., with a view of establishing a high school. The examination included the following subjects: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, rhetoric, psychology, botany, physics, geology, astronomy, English and American literature, general history, physical geography, pedagogy, civil government, Latin, including Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. There were many applicants, but Prof. Benton was the successful one. For eleven years he stood at the head of the Paducah high school, during which time the school became a remarkable factor in the intellectual, social and spiritual, as well as material development, not only of that city, but of all West Kentucky. While in this position, Prof. Benton was institute instructor in West Kentucky and was for 9 years President of the First Congressional District Teachers' Association, and during the summer of 1902, he took a special course in science in the University of Minnesota. In 1906 Prof. Benton resigned at Paducah and came to Nashville. He entered Mehary Medical College and finished the following sciences, Anatomy, physiology, histology, qualitative analysis, urinalysis, embryology, and toxicology. Meantime he taught in the normal department of Walden University. His services as teacher in Walden were so satisfactory that he was recommended and elected to the position of college mathematics for the next year, and at the same time he was elected principal of the Government Board. High School at Tahlequah, I. K., and also Professor of Science in the Mississippi Theological and Industrial College at Holly Springs, Mi. Meantime Prof. Benton had taken the examination in Nashville and defined these other positio as accept in principalship here. After teaching here a few months he was elected principal of a large school in Memphis, and the Board of Education in Nashville in order to keep him here raised his salary. If the worth of a teacher is determined by the character, qualifications and usefulness of the pupils he has trained and developed, then Prof. Benton deserves the highest commendation as a teacher whose work has been pre-eminently successful; for very many of the young men and women who received their education under him at Lane College and the Lincoln High School at Paducah are now worthily filling responsible places of honor and trust—places that call for thorough scholarship, unfailing industry, and uncompromising integrity. There was a very enjoyable entertainment given at Howard Congregational Church on Tuesday night. Some of the leading local talent in the city appeared on the program. It was a concert given for the benefit of the church and was supported by such members of the church as Mrs. Jennie Cheatham Lee, T. Clay Moore, Dr. S. S. Caruthers and others who contributed both by their influence and work. MARRIAGES. Richard A. Ewin and Cornelia E. Young. Louis Creech and Rosa Alice Johnson. Lucian Brown and Minerva Brown.

"LILY-WHITEISM." It would seem that the only alternatives left the Negro voters of Tennessee is to vote for Malcolm R. Patterson for Governor or stay away from the polls. Each faction of the republican party seems to be bent upon setting itself up as the only true and loyal "illy-white" party in the state. We have called attention repeatedly to the effort of the Evansites to unload the Negro in the campaign of two years ago. We have referred time and again to the treatment accorded the colored brother in the Evans convention and, likewise, we have noted the flippancy in the State Executive Committee that caused Mr. Nace Dixon, of Clarksville, to protest. We thought the Evans Convention was entitled to the soubriquet, "Lily-white." But it seems that Mr. Houk, of the Brownlow faction, disputes the title. In a card to the Civil Service Reform League, Mr. Houk states that the Convention which elected his committee was composed exclusively of whites. He emphasizes what he claims to be a fact. Likewise in naming a list of prominent men throughout the state he again emphasizes that only one of the men named is colored. This statement from Mr. Houk is surprising. We happen to know that a number of the delegates from East Tennessee who participated in the Oliver-Brownlow Convention were Negroes. We also know that there are thousands of Negroes in Tennessee who do not want to see a party founded solely on the Negro nor do they want to see a party formed whose chief slogan is, "We are lily-whites." The Negroes of Tennessee have supported the republican party continuously. in state and national elections since they were granted the franchise. They have been content in Middle and West Tennessee, where they form the majority of the republican voters, to let the white man have the plums. But is it not asking too much of them to set "lily-whiteism" up for their support? If we are to have a "white man's party" and a "white man's government," then we say give us the simon pure article. Between democracy as represented by "Ham" Patterson and "illy-whiteism" republicanism as rampant in this state for the past two years, few voters will hesitate as to how they will vote. There is a chance for republicanism to reform. Will the leaders grasp the opportunity? FLIRTING. Bryan is flirting with the Negro vote. He has appointed or rather agreed to the selection of Mr. Farnsworth, a banker, who managed the Towne Vice Presidential boom, for the especial purpose of organizing the Negroes of Illinois against the Hon. William Howard Taft. It is also reported that democratic emissaries are passing through Ohio trying to keep alive the Foraker-Taft feud, for they claim that if Mr. Foraker refuses to take the stump for Taft, the Negro will vote the democratic ticket. Another report says that Ollie James, one of the most popular attendants of the Denver Convention and a man very high in the estimation of the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, will not be made Chairman of the National Committee on account of his vote on a disfranchisement bill in Congress. It is true that Mr. Bryan has raised a question of veracity between himself and Bishop Walters concerning that Brownsville interview, yet there is no room to doubt that Bryan is making "goo-goo eyes" at the colored vote of the North. This flirting, too, is interesting to a man up a tree. It is the first time since the Tilden-Hayes race that the democrats have wooed the Negro voter. What will be the outcome? Will that long-haired individual of Mississippi, Jeff Davis, Hoke Smith, Edward W. Carmack and a few more of the rejected candidates leave the democratic party? E. E. COOPER DEAD. E. E. Cooper, who was possibly one of the most brilliant newspaper men produced by the Negro race, is dead. Mr. Cooper was the founder of the Indianapolis Freeman, said to be the first illustrated journal published by colored men. Later he also established The Colored American, a newspaper modeled on many of the lines of The Freeman. The Washington journal failed about four years ago. Mr. Cooper was a native of Tennessee and most of his youth was spent in Nashville. It was from this city that he went to Indianapolis to begin the work which added fame to his name. Mr. Cooper was a generous, noble-hearted man who, while enjoying prosperity, thought nothing too good for those he claimed as his friends. He was generous, even to a fault. After the failure of The Colored American, Mr. Cooper was appointed a position in the Federal service. It was while compiling the statistics of Negro Baptists that he paid his last trip to Nashville. He had a host of friends in this city who will regret to hear of his demise. The National Primitive Baptist Convention has closed its second annual session. They had a successful meeting and by coming together and seeing the progress made by other religious bodies through organization, have been inspired to do greater work. Thus enthused, it is only a matter of a few years before they will have a publishing house. It is such dives as that on Twelfth avenue, North, where a fool Negro drank a quart of whiskey, which should be abolished. The men who knowingly permitted the man to drink the liquor are responsible, in part, for his death. Those dives where suchorgies are permitted should be refused a license to do business. At this season of the year when many of the business enterprises cut down their help of lower wages, it is folly for a man to quit his job to attend a picnic. While the weather is fine the laboring man, and all others for that matter, should prepare for "hard-times" this winter. Taft is having the time of his life trying to keep a bull out of his speech of acceptance. His Memorial Day oration on the life of General Grant has made him careful. COMMUNICATION. A (little) Judge of New Jersey. To The Nashville Globe. Within the borders of New Jersey is a court presided over by a man who is a pretext for a judge. His recent ac- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY JULY 24, 1908 tion in imposing a fine upon a colored witness, who, in the course of his testimony, spoke of a colored woman, using Mrs. before her name, is reprehensible, and shows to what extent some men will let their prejudice and small natures carry them. This New Jersey excuse for a judge told colored witnesses that he would not tolerate Mr. or Mrs. before the names of Negroes in his court. He said that there are no such prefixes for Negro names. The smallness of the soul of such a man is apparent when the fact is taken into consideration that he is insensible of the sacredness of the oath which he was compelled to take on being inducted into office that he would discharge the duties of said office as judge with fairness, justice and impartiality to all. Every man who performs the duties of a judge in this country has to take some such oath to make him a bona fide officer of the law. But this prejudiced ridden man has disgraced his position by breaking his oath. He could not disgrace himself, for men of his calbore forget the sacredness of an oath under certain conditions, especially when those conditions emphasize the coming forward of a people who are leaving no stone unturned that will help them to loftier citizenship. Is this man fit to rule, to govern, to sit in judgement over the rights of American citizens? No. He has gained a little newspaper notoriety but there is no fair or sensible man but thinks of him with a sort of charitable contempt. Everybody knows that the (little) New Jersey judge, by his absurd action, bids for public notice. He had gone unnoticed so long that he hit upon this innovation to save himself from oblivion, lest he go down to his grave unwept, unhonored and unsung. However he came to his conclusion that there are no Mr. and Mrs. for colored men and women, we leave to his own little dwarfed mind to enjoy. He must feel proud of his stupendous victory in fining a colored man for mentioning the name of a woman of his race in a respectful way. This New Jersey tyrant-judge proposes that if colored men who come before his court are not disrespectful towards their women, he will see to it that they are, if he has to resort to fine and imprisonment. He is already sore, but he may yet live to wish that he had died before his time. He may now be exulting and boasting as did the fly which sat upon the rapidly revolving wheel and exclaimed: "What a dust do I raise!" but his (little) heart may yet break at the doings and achievements of Mr. and Mrs. So and So. KENTUCKY INJUSTICE. Madisonville, Ky., July 31.—The Negroes who were arrested some time ago and brought to this city charged with shooting a traveling man, who, it is claimed, was a member of a mob that had attempted to lynch a man who shot the Town Marshal at Providence, were sentenced to seven years each in the penitentiary. It will be remembered that eleven determined men of the race foiled this mob. One man was shot and another seriously wounded. Hence no lynching occurred. The report comes out that in the face of these facts, eleven preservers of the law, who would not allow a member to be lynched, were given the seven years term in the penitentiary at this place yesterday. An appeal will be taken to the higher courts for a new trial. It is said that they are in a position to furnish substantial evidence that they did not form a mob but they were preventing a mob from taking the law in its own hands. HARWELL—FITE. A wedding in which much social interest centered was that of Miss Minnie L. Fite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Fite, of East Nashville, and Mr. Iro. P. Harwell, of Jersey City, formerly of Nashville, which was solemnized July 6 at 8 p. m. The impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Hill at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Johnson, Jersey City, N. J. The guest list was limited to the most intimate friends of the groom. Mrs. Harwell was a prominent member of Nashville society and on account of her excellent talent for music she will be greatly missed. Mr. and Mrs. Harwell contemplate an extended tour through the North, visiting New York, Atlantic City, Coney Island, etc. W. C. T. U. CONVENTION. The State Organization of Temperance Workers in Annual Session With fitting ceremony the Tennessee State Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which is a member of the national body that met in this city last year, convened in annual session at the First Baptist Church on Tuesday night. It had been thoroughly advertised, and not withstanding the many attractions in the city at the same time, and enthusiastic delegation was present to mark the opening of an organization Why Not Give Us a Part of Your Business!

The officers of the state convention have the distinction of being among the best posted and conscientious workers in the temperance cause. The object of the meeting was forcibly and logically put forth by the speakers on Tuesday night. The program consisted of welcomes on behalf of the city organization and the churches. The following are the officers of the convention: President, Mrs. V. W. Broughton, Nashville; Vice President, Mrs. Lake; Recording Secretary, Miss N. H. Perkins, Nashville; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. G. W. Jackson; Superintendent L. T. L., Miss R. J. Carter. ST. ANDREW'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES. All of the services are well attended. There have been several additions to the church recently. Good singing and Scripture reading at all of the services. The Thursday-evening prayer service is enjoyed by all who attend. The session meets twice a month to receive members and to attend to other interests of the church. WISE CALIFORNIA CROW. Gets His Breakfast Every Morning on a Fast Passenger Train. From the San Francisco Call. Tales of the big gulls which accompany the army transports all the way in the long journey from San Francisco are not infrequent, but it has remained for a California crow to wear the laurel. If you pass Hornbrook any fine morning at 7:30 o'clock sharp and crane your neck out of the Pullman window up toward the sky you will observe a fine black devil of a crow sitting complacently in the topmost branches of an old pine, preening his feathers and apparently half asleep. But he is far from being asleep. On the contrary, he is much awake, for he is keeping a bright lookout for train No. 14, whose smoke is visible every morning at this hour as it comes tearing along the road. As the cars approach the tree there is a subdued, stately flutter of two black wings. Master Crow rises slowly into the air and picks up No. 14 with the abandon and ease of a crow hobo as it passes. He drops to the roof of the car as if it were his rightful home, and though the engineer has tried every way to play a joke on him by tooting the whistle, ringing the bell madly and making a general racket, the crow solemnly refuses to be dislodged. He is an old friend now and the passengers on the 7:30 have learned to look for him as regularly as they do for their morning papers. Appetizers are thrown at him all the way to Siskiyou, which is reached at 8:45 o'clock, where his ebony majesty enjoys a royal meal, to which his acumen and perseverance have fairly entitled him. CHURCH TOWER HIS PULPIT. From the London Evening Standard. Sunday last being "Feast Sunday," the Vicar of Selston, the Rev. C. Harrison, hit upon the novel idea of preaching from the church tower. The greater part of the congregation seated themselves in the churchyard, while many stood on the highway. The reverend gentleman took as his text "The Builders and the Tower," and, possessing a strong voice, his remarks were heard distinctly by the large crowd of colliers and others gathered together, the weather being all that could be desired. WANT DOGS KEPT OUT OF TEXAS CHURCHES. From the Plano Star Courier. If it's really necessary for dogs to attend church we believe a separate apartment should be given them at such a time that could be given up exclusively to dogs. For the preacher to be humiliated and the entire congregation to be worried at the pesky canines scratching fleas under their feet and constantly changing positions from under the news to the mulpit and even in the preacher's cushion chair is too much KUHN'S COMPOUND EXTRACT OF Sarsaparilla SKIN AND BLOOD Purifier Best Known Remedy For Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Blotches, Ring- worm, Salt Rheum, Ulcerations, Sores, Scrotula, Constipation, Rheumatism, Syphilitic Afections, Etc.

FRIDAY JULY 24, 1908. 10 CENTS THE AGE OF MONOPOLY HAS PASSED, AND COMPETENCY IS AT HAND. The American people will stand Mr. Monopoly until Competency comes along. Competency that is able; then we see a battle royal. The people groan under old conditions and appeal for better treatment, better services. Appeals are unheeded until Competency steps in and Monopoly, at first defiant, arrogant and assertive, realizes that this world was no more made for their exclusive benefit than it was made for Caesar. Most people must see. They are not content to even have Competency's word for a thing, they must see it. Monopoly will say, "I am the only one who can serve you. I am the only." It raises its towering head and will pass you by with disdain. "I will not speak to you." "You can't be admitted into my cliques." "I am monarch." "I am the way. Bow down and serve me. Be an underling." Then comes the psychological moment. Last Friday evening two men were crowned in the Cumberland River at the same time. Their remains were not secured until Sunday morning. Lunbalmer Johnson had orders to take the remains of Mr. Ernest Clark; the orders being given by his wife and brother. Another person took charge of the remains and refused to surrender them for some hours, during which time decomposition was doing its work, and only those who have seen bodies which have been under water for some days can imagine their state. After much delay and controversy and demands, written and in person, and the payment of a sum of money, the remains were conveyed to Mr. Johnson's establishment, where they received the skillful attention of Mr. Johnson and his son. They were handled with improved and scientific methods, so that on Monday morning funeral services were conducted over the open casket by Rev. W. L. Flagg in the immediate presence of the family and the friends of the deceased, who after the services took the last parting look at the body, which had been prepared so that they could view it. It was then conveyed to the L. & N. station and carried to Guthrie, Ky., and buried in the family burial ground, after the funeral was witnessed by hundreds of his and his family's friends. The family was very apprehensive for fear that the work could not be done; but they had confidence in the work of Mr. Johnson whose knowledge of the art has been put to the test, and in this test, whose competition was so evident, the people have had an opportunity of seeing whose work can be depended upon. "We have been needing you in this community for a long time," said one of the best known men in the city. "We needed competition, such as was competent and not arrogant, such as was willing to give the people the best and at living prices; such as was respectful and not uppish and selfish; such as was willing to give some personal attention to the business and not, 'You must have me, or I will not speak to you; I will excommunicate you from certain circles, etc.'" People appreciate relief from a Monopoly. They know the selfishness of monopolies and combines from the great Standard Oil Co., down to the man who thinks you must have him or lose his favor, which loss is equal to annihilation. "Fall down and worship me," is the command of the monopoly until the people find a superior and then the ignoring process is set up, the "I will not speak to you" act is staged. Then the people's time comes for a reckoning and the wall is set up, "I have saved you; help, Cassius, or I sink." The great giants of antediluvian ages never dreamed that one day they would be fossils. They did not have big brains as they did bodies or they would have thought and bred their progeny for future time. They did not get away from the sloughs where alluring greens grew, to escape to the mountains when the storm approached, and so only fossils remain to tell of their might and monstrosity. The same exists in business to-day. One man sits in the old ruts of defiant complacency and faded glory, in the belief that people must serve him and have him. Another delivers the goods, gives the competent services, keeps ahead of the precession and the people give him a chance to serve them. He gives them satisfaction and they will not have any old service, which they know about. Some three months ago Mr. Johnson was called into the Clark family and gave such complete satisfaction that they would stand no argument about surrendering their rights, of having Mr. Johnson serve them, although they had to invoke the services of the Civil Authorities in securing the remains of their relative. They made no mistake, for the family and friends did not have to stand Most people find it hard to get together at one time the price of list-class clothing.

In pursuance to the announcement made some time ago for the officers and teachers of the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School to compile an enrollment, giving the names and addresses of all the scholars in their classes, a report was made at a special meeting called for this purpose. It was found by comparing the roll of students presented by the various teachers that the enrollment of the school had grown from 150 on January 1 to 404. An effort is now being made to reach the 500 mark. Ten new scholars were added Sunday and new teachers were appointed.

Forest Martin, Clarke Lyons, Cash White Jas. Goodman, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer McBroom. WINCHESTER NOTES Like Tennyson's brook, "Men may come and men may go," it does seem that the baptizing act at this place goes on forever. Every Sunday so far, in this hot month of July, has witnessed this spectacular religious fete. On the first one four converts belonging to the Missionary Baptist church were plunged beneath the waters of the creek. The next following Sunday the pastor of the A. M. E. church, assisted by his stewards, administered the rites to fifteen, and on last Sunday two of the Hardshell or Primitive sect, "ordained from the beginning," received their watery announcement with much enthusiasm. It is expected another will take place next Sunday. One of the peculiar features of Winchester is the manner in which the streets are laid off. Hyphenated words sometimes seen in print will give a good idea of the city's thoroughfares. If a straight line is the shortest distance between any two points, then the first lesson in algebra will find few parallels here. The syncopated style of thoroughfares, however, finds its counterpart in the music, public school and public opinion of the colored citizens. Literary clubs with meagre membership, privately cause many enlightened subjects to be discussed publicly. Well, yes, Winchester is dry, not only from the Prohibitionist viewpoint, but because the weather bureau man has no doubt taken offense at some of the sayings of the best people. The city and immediate surrounding country are suffering from a three weeks' drought. The country about ten miles out has had abundance of rain, but somehow Winchester only gets the wind. The creek is shallow, springs are dry, lands are parched, and the imbibing crowd thirsty. No direct word or promise has been given when both droughts will be broken. The Fayetteville District Conference of the A. M. E. Church was in session last week at Decherd, almost within a stones' throw of this place. Many preachers and delegates were in attendance. In the Sunday-school Department, the Winchester school, under the leadership of Wm Clay, led all the rest. Registration books for the voters of Winchester were open Tuesday and Saturday. A few colored citizens availed themselves of the opportunity to vote in the coming county and presidential elections. Dr. Lowry and Mr. A. H. Eldridge, the insurance man, have opened offices over Hammermiester's grocery on Public Square. Miss Vandola Simmons will represent the First Baptist Sunday School of this city at the Association to be held in Shelbyville in August. Mr. A. J. Wiseman returned from Clarksville last Friday. Mrs. Virginia Trimble and Lula Gray returned from Decherd last Saturday. BETHEL CHURCH NOTES. The Stewardess Board No. 1, of Bethel A. M. E. Church met Monday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. S. O. Fisher, 813 Eleventh avenue, South. The Board consists of the following and members: Mrs. S.

Dr. W. B. Denny opened the meeting and after business was over a delightful course of cake and ices was served. BRIERSVILLE NOTES. Quite an enjoyable time was witnessed last Sunday at the rally and basket dinner at the M. E. Church of this place. A large crowd from the city was present. Among the divines who broke the Bread of Life were Rev. R. A. Dowell, pastor of Gordan's Chapel; Revs. Taley and Butler, of Nashville. Total collections taken, $23.00. Mrs. A. W. Wilson and son, Robert Wilson, of Rock City, were the guests of her sisters and brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Love, Mr. and Mrs. George Love, and Miss Mary L. Love, on Sunday evening. (Mrs. Wilson's husband, Rev. A. W. Wilson, and little grandson, Andrew T. Jennings, joined her, and quite an enjoyable time was spent at the old homestead. Mrs. Mary Webb, Mrs. Georgie Tally and Mrs. Mary Belle Robertson, of East Nashville, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Phillips last Saturday night and Sunday. Mr. William H. Pettis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Pettis, will be in from Louisville next Sunday. Ms. Angie Talley, of East Nashville, is spending a few weeks with her sister, Mrs. Nannie Bates, on account of ill health. HEALTH AND COWARDICE. From Fry's Magazine. I had a young friend once who won the Victoria Cross. Well, he was the most absolute (apparent) coward as a child and boy that I ever knew, and yet I am sure it was all due to his physical condition. I had the greatest trouble to convince his honest martinet of a father that it was simply a matter of health. But I had my way at last, and the boy was practically taught as I advised for five years. He came right out of the shadow, chose the army, to the consternation of his father, and eventually won the cross. There are plenty of physically misunderstood cowards in this world who are not cowards at all H. T. G. M. NOTES. Miss Lillian A. Bright entertained the young ladies of the H. T. G. M Club Saturday, July 11, in a most delightful manner. Progressive whist was the feature of the evening. Miss A. K. Davis won the first prize, a linen sideboard scarf, and Miss Bessie Martin the consolation, a bronze belt buckle. All the club members who are in the city were present and despite the heat of the afternoon, no one realized it for automatic fans had been arranged for the occasion. Late in the afternoon a dainty and refreshing menu was served by the little sisters of the hostess. The next meeting will be this afternoon with Misses Lillian and Fannette Banks. FRANKLIN NOTES. Miss Mattie B. Johnson, of Nashville, is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Bolden Redick. Wm. Flemings, D. J.

Moore Foreign Missionary Society had a splendid meet- ing Monday evening. After the regular routine of business, the president read a very impressive article from a book on missions entitled "Into All the World." It contained a very interesting description of China and the peculiar customs of its people. Our friends will be glad to know that we now have a missionary employed in Africa. The needs of this land appeal to us more than any other country. Several delegates and visitors attending the State Convention are stopping with us this week. Among the number are Mrs. M. E. Hamilton and Mrs. Lucy Carter of Knoxville, Mrs. Mary Lamotte of Clarksville Mrs. Emma Perkins, Little Beatrice Flowers and father of Chattanooga piece and brother of Mrs. M. H. Flowers. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The city Y. M. C. A. met at 4:30 p. m. last Sunday and a very interesting meeting was held. A number of visitors was present and many spoke on the present condition of the Association and what steps should be taken to secure a larger attendance and more interest. We take this opportunity to invite every man who will use his influence or the good of the Association. Mr. S. F. Williams will speak to the Association Sunday at 4:30 p. m. on "Useless Life." FANS AND UMBRELLAS. Few Fans Now Sold in the Street— This the Day of the Umbrella. "A thing that strikes me as curious," said a man of observing habit, "is the smaller number of men you see nowadays in the streets in hot weather selling fans as compared with the number you were sure to see years ago. Look back, as I can, thirty years and more, and then in hot spells you would find in the streets many men selling fans, Japanese and palm leaf, holding armfuls of them, and selling them, too, to the passersby; you saw plenty of men walking along the streets fanning themselves with fans bought of street venders. "This year, in all my walks in that two weeks spell of really sweltering weather, I saw but one lone fan vender and I saw no man walking along fanning himself. Why is this? "In those old days there were no umbrella venders in the streets; now in rainy weather you find many, and people caught in the rain buy them, too. And this seems natural enough; but why we have stopped buying fans in the streets I don't know. Perhaps it is because we are too busy.—New York Sun.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY JULY 24. 1908. SPORT. GANS WILL GET A RETURN BATTLE. Joe Gans wants to feel again the weight of the laurel upon his brow. After years of battling which lifted him to a pugilistic pedestal, he tumbled into sheer oblivion by the punchfli delivered by Battling Nelson. Now the ex-Old Master, Joseph Gans, seeks to regain the pedestal, to climb again to the height from which he was tumbled by Battling Nelson. And that fight has been arranged. If plans do not miscarry Bat and Joe will once again foregather in the arena at Ely, Nev., on Labor Day, September 7, 1908. The fight will be to a finish and both are preparing now to get in trim for the battle. Joe thinks he underestimated the huskiness of the Brawny Battler on the previous occasion, and he is now overlooking no bets. Joe says he will be there with bells on and a vacant place where the belt used to cling. But he will be fit as trout and and in condition, he predicts, to land on Bat like a Kansas Twister. Nelson will get $20,000, for he is now able to arbitrate his own share of the receipts, being* champion. Gans will get $10,000 and one-third of the fight pictures. The referee will be selected not later than August 29. Tex Rickard, the Nevada fight promoter, was responsible for the tentative plans, but there is always a possibility of fighters falling down on the job. However, the ex-Old Master seemed so anxious to get back at the Battler that it seems nothing will prevent him from jumping the ropes and putting up his ebony fists once more. Now, Joe isn't a squealer, but human nature is a very funny proposition. Joe wants to make his future actions his excuse. Bat's friends think it will be like stealing milk from the che-ld on Labor Day. They are going to wend toward Ely with every pocket bulging. They will carry yellow boys in suit cases and valises and some of them are buying trunks. There is nothing to it, they declare, and are fearing that Nelson will lbe so hot as a favorite that it will be impossible to get any money down on his chances. Shrewd friends of the ex-Old Master are watching him and saying nothing. They say they might have a few bales of currency themselves when it comes time to lay the wagers. MAJOR TAYLOR SUSTAINS ACCIDENT At Bordeaux, France, by Being Thrown from His Wheel, While Taking Part in Races. Bordeaux, July 13.—While taking part in the races at the Park Velodrome to-day Major Taylor, the bicyclist, was thrown from his wheel by the bursting of one of the tires. His right arm was badly hurt and he received other injuries. He will not be able to race again for some time. J. B. TAYLOR SURPRISES THE WORLD. The manner in which J. B. Taylor, the colored member of the Irish-American Athletic Association, carried off the honors in the flat 400 metre race in the Olympic games in London was the surprise of the world. His was the first black face to show in the contests, and he won his race with so much ease that the result was never in doubt. His style was so graceful and performance so easy that he won the united applause of the 40,000 spectators. In the final heat Taylor won with as much ease and by as good margin as he did in the first race. He has proved himself to be an athlete of the first rank, and all of America rises to salute him. Nothing has been heard of LeRoy, the member of the team sent out from the University of Chicago, but he can be depended upon to hold up the pride of the stars and stripes. **** The Y. M. C. A. Team defeated the Standard Furniture Line Saturday, July 18. The features of the game were the star plays of Caruthers, Forrest, Fanroy, Sweeney and the superb pitching of O. Voorhies for the Y. M. C. A., only four hits being made off him, while Allison was touched for eleven. S. F. L. Position. Y. M. C. A. H. Kidd L. F. Sweeney Tipton R. F. Liggon Calhoun C. F. Littlefield Thos. Baker 1 B.
