Negroes Petition Too Late For Any Consideration
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TILLMAN HAD ACTED EARLY.
FRIENDS OF MR. J. W. GRANT
COULD NOT EVEN GET A HEARING—PROCEEDINGS WERE NOT
BLEACHED AND WERE, THEREFORE, NOT PERMISSIBLE—
IT IS HARD TO "KICK AGAINST
THE PRICKS" — PETITIONERS
ASTONISHED AT THE GOLD RECEPTION:
An article appeared in the Nashville American of August 5, which is given in part below. It is another case of the intent on the part of the Republicans of Tennessee to keep the Negroes' political aspirations completely smothered:
"The colored Republicans of the city organized a movement culminating Tuesday to have J. W. Grant, one of the best known Negro lawyers of the city, made Assistant United States Attorney General to succeed Lee B. Ck, resigned. A petition was circulated, James Bumpass, another well known colored lawyer of the city, having charge of the movement. Early Tuesday morning Bumpass telephoned District Attorney A. M. Tillman, requesting an audience that he might present his petition, but was given the cold shoulder. He was informed that a recommendation had already been made and that a reply was being expected. The petition was signed by twenty colored lawyers and citizens, leaders of their race in Nashville. Every one asked to sign the document did so, as Grant stands very high among his people.
"The movement was talked over Saturday among a number of colored people of the city, but no active steps were taken at that time, as Mr. Brock had not resigned. After learning of his resignation in the morning papers Sunday, Bumpass took charge of the petition. Owing to the limited time at his disposal, only a few were asked to sign. The conversation between Mr. Tillman and Bumpass is said to have been about as follows.
Conversation Over 'Phone.
"Hello, is that you, Mr. Tillman?" "Yes."
"This is James Bumpass. I have a petition to you regarding a successor to Mr. Brock, as Assistant District Attorney, and myself and others would like to wait upon you and present it to you."
"Well, there would be no use in your coming, Bumpass. I have already decided to recommend some one else. My recommendation has already gone to Washington, and I am expecting a reply. Good-bye."
The document in question was as follows:
"Hon. A. M. Tillman, United States District Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee—Dear Sir: The undersigned lawyers and citizens of Tennessee hereby respectfully request that you appoint or recommend for appointment the Hon. J. W. Grant, of Davidson County, for the position of Assistant United States District Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. He is a lawyer of large experience and ability and we are confident his discharge of all the duties which may devolve upon him in this position will be entirely satisfactory to all concerned.
"We make this request without his knowledge or consent, and trust that the matter may receive your serious consideration and that in justice to the large class of republicans whom he represents you may see fit to honor him with the appointment. Respectfully,
(Signed) "P. F. Hill, E. W. D. Isaac, J. C. Napier, T. G. Ewing, A. M. Townsend, H. G. Scales, J. Thomas Turner, J. B. Singleton, James Bumpass, R. F. Boyd, J. W. Bostick, W. D. Hawkins, G. F. Anderson, E. R.
NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST, 7 1908.
Carney, C. W. Langston, C. V. Roman, P. W. Adams, W. S. Ellington and J. A. Lester."
"The refusal of Mr. Tillman to consider the petition has aroused considerable feeling among many of the colored people of the city. A number have already taken occasion to express their anger and humiliation at the way in which they were treated. Even further significance is given the refusal when it is considered that the signers of the petition include both Brownlow and Evans men. Grant has been a lawyer in the city for fifteen years and is generally liked by his people.
"By some it is thought that the movement was inaugurated with the express intent of testing the fidelity of the office-holders to the 'illy white' principles. If this was the case it served its purpose."
"Grant himself said Tuesday night that he regretted exceedingly that he was not given a hearing. 'I feel that I have been very badly treated,' said he. 'My friends certainly had a right to present a petition and they feel that it deserved some consideration. I don't know why we were treated in the way in which we were.'
"James Bumpass, who circulated the petition and had the telephone conversation with Mr. Tillman, said, 'It looks very strange to me that we were treated in this way. It looks very much like the whole thing was premeditated. Mr. Brock did not resign until Saturday afternoon, and early Tuesday morning Mr. Tillman said that his communication had gone to Washington and that he was expecting a reply. What was the use of acting in such a hurry? There is no reason that I know of why we should have been refused consideration. I think that all those who signed feel just like I do, that we've been badly treated in the matteer."
"Taken in connection with Nace Dixon's statement before the State Republican Executive Committee last fall, to the effect that the Negro was not tied to the Republican party and that he might go elsewhere if not treated better in the future, this latest incident assumes some importance. Dixon's language was of a threatening nature and in effect he demanded better treatment at the hands of the Republican organization. This is as indicative of the general sentiment of the Negroes of this section. Threats of deserting the party standard by some and of leaving the ranks of the regular organization by others were freely made Tuesday.
"J. C. Napier, a prominent colored attorney of Nashville, and heretofore identified with the Evans organization, stated Tuesday night that he did not see why any one should request of Mr. Tillman the privilege of presenting a petition, as the right of petition was one enjoyed by all American citizens alike. When asked if the matter would be taken to higher authorities, he stated that he could not say definitely, as he had not been consulted on that point.
"Another side of this story of defeated ambition is to the effect that Mr. Tillman was called to the telephone by Bumpass about 9 o'clock Tuesday morning and requested to set the hour of 10:30 a. m. for a conference between the District Attorney and about fifteen Negroes "on a political mission." Mr. Tillman stated to the inquiring colored man at the other end of the line that if the mission were of a political nature the time set for the conference must be after business hours. He then asked the nature of the mission. Bumpass answered that it was with reference to a strong endorsement they would bring of an applicant for the appointment of Assistant District Attorney. Mr. Tillman immediately stated in reply to this that the mission would be of no avail, as he had already considered the matter and had recommended a man for the appointment. The telephone conversation naturally closed at that point. Mr. Tillman failed to inquire as to the race, and it is beyond a doubt that not until he was told Tuesday night by an American reporter just who the conference was to have attempted to place in the desirable position of Assistant District Attorney, did he know that the applicant was J. W. Grant, a Negro. When told this he said that Grant was a nice Negro and a man of some ability. His refusal to hold the conference is said to have been based upon the fact that he had already recommended a man for the place, and that the meeting in the interest of the fifteen Negroes' candidate would, therefore be entirely useless."
REGORD BREAKING CROWD
Expected At the Greenwood Dedication Saturday.
EMANCIPATION GELEBRATION TO ECLIPSE FORMER ONES.
LARGE CROWDS WILL COME IN FROM NEAR-BY STATIONS— SEVERAL THOUSAND VISITORS EXPECTED—LOCAL TRAINS WILL BE TAXED TO THEIR UTMOST CAPACITY — STREET PARADE AND EXERCISES AT PARK WILL PRESENT GRAND SPECTACLE.
From present indications it seems that the dedication of Greenwood Park and the Emancipation celebration next Saturday will eclipse former celebrations of its kind held in Nashville. Every one seems to be intensely interested in this day, for they look upon it as a double emancipation celebration; one dating back over a period of forty-six years, when by the stroke of the pen Abraham Lincoln paved the way for the liberation of four million slaves; the other only covers a period of about three years, but carries with it more importance than the majority of the people have dreamed of. Forty-five thousand citizens in this city had no place to spend a quiet hour during the hot summer months. If they went to the resorts run by the street railway they were confronted by a sign, "Dogs and Niggers Not Allowed." Of course they did not go, neither had they a desire to go, but the fact remained that they wanted to go somewhere to get a breath of fresh air. They did not feel like going to the city parks where they would be ordered around by a little "tin horn" watchman, so they remained at their homes and made the best of the situation and waited patiently for a better day. Mr. Preston Taylor was not asleep as to the sufferings of his people and though he said nothing he was planning all the time, and as soon as the opportunity came, he took advantage of it, and it was the stroke of his pen that brought the second emancipation to the Negroes of Nashville, and Saturday he has called them to meet at the park and accept the gift that he has labored so ardently to make for his people. Greenwood Park has been in existence for some time, but a considerable amount of money has lately been spent in improving it until it has been almost completely transformed. Aug. 8 will be Emancipation Day, and it is the intention of the proprietor of Greenwood to combine the two occasions.
Provisions have been made for a parade in which the colored corps, lodges, societies, schools, etc., of the city have been invited to participate. This parade will form at 9 o'clock a the corner of Fifth avenue, North, and Harrison street, headed by a brass band, and march south on Fifth avenue to Ash street and take cars for the park. The programme at the park will consist of a ball game, band concert, flower parade, dedication services, dress parade, a sham battle and fireworks. These events will occur at 11, 12, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 o'clock respectively.
Mr. Taylor has issued a neat booklet showing half-tone views of several buildings at the park, along with scenes of special interest.
Quite a number of the leading citithroughout the State will be present, and the State and city officials have also been invited. It seems that the weather is going to be ideal, and everything points to a successful celebration. One feature attached to this meeting that bids fair to grow in importance is the suggestion that the Negroes of the United States have a universal celebration. The people are becoming much interested in such a plan, and the matter is being freely discussed on all sides.
GAINES—DOUGLASS.
A pretty home wedding was that of Miss Bennette E. Douglass, grand-
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Hughes, and Mr. George W. Gaines, which was solemnized before a host of friends and relatives at the bride's home July 28, at 8:30 p. m.
The rooms were tastefully decorated in cut flowers, and white ribbon was stretched to form an arch for the bridal procession which entered as follows: The groom with his best man, Mr. F. B. Gaines; Miss Manie Lightfoot with Mr. William Lightfoot. The maid of honor, Miss D. E. Gaines, came in alone. Little Mabel Tisdale and Master H. Benjamin Connell, flower bearers, preceding the bride with her brother, Mr. W. L. Douglass, who gave her in marriage.
The wedding gown of white net over silk neatly trimmed in rosettes of narrow white ribbon and lace, was well suited to the small bride. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses fringed with ferns, which was presented to her by her four cousins. The bridesmaid was in pink silk mull. Her bouquet was of roses tied with pink ribbon. The maid of honor was in blue French organdy. Her bouquet was a cluster of roses tied with blue ribbon.
Miss Annetta E. Martin played Mendelssohn's Wedding March for the procession to enter the room, and the "Flower Song" was rendered during the ceremony, which was performed by the groom's father, Rev. Taylor Gaines, of East Nashville, after which refreshments were served. Miss Maud S. Johnson received the presents, which were many and serviceable.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaines will reside at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes on Jackson street.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT
BEECHVIEW.
Columbia, Tenn., August 3.—The family reunion to celebrate the 54th birthday of Rev. C. H. Bell, held at Beechview, six miles south of Columbia on the Pulaski pike on Friday, July 31, was the most enjoyable feast of the season. There were about sixty persons present, among whom were the following: Prof. J. W. Johnson, President, of Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Lizzle Johnson and mother, of Chicago; Mrs. Francis Hughes, of Milwaukee; Miss A. J. Dew and Dr. T. W. Stephens, of Columbia; Rev. R. Hayden, of Bigbyville, Tenn.; Prof. R. G. Johnson and wife, Mrs. E. L. Peacock, Mrs. Jessie Buford, Mrs. Jas. Gordon, Mrs. J. W. Blair, Miss Florence Slaten and father, Mr. Jno Irvine, and Prof. W. P. Irvine, of Clarksville. The repast was superb dinner being served from 3 to 5. Mrs Bell took special delight in serving the guests. After dinner the party had a delightful seven miles' drive.
FRED J. EWING IN TOWN.
Mr. Fred J. Ewing, formerly assistant foreman of the composing room of the Baptist Publishing House, but now of the linotype force at Tuskegee, reached this city at an early hour Tuesday morning. Mr. Ewing has been away from home several months. It will be remembered that he resigned his position here to take one of greater responsibility at the famous school in Alabama. Mr. Ewing will undoubtedly spend the greater part of his vacation with relatives and friends in this vicinity.
IDEAL PLEASURE CLUB.
Mrs. Mollie Snowden delightfully entertained the Ideal Pleasure Club on Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. Cynthia Boyd, 701 Sylvan avenue. The ladies were out in full force and an enjoyable evening was spent. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Gracie Guess, of South Eighth street.
GOES TO CALIFORNIA.
Mr. Fred T. Thomas and family will leave the city the last of September for Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Thomas goes to California to improve his health, which has been falling for the past two years.
IN HONOR OF MISS WASHINGTON.
Mrs. Mary North, of, 617 Fern streett, entertained on last Monday evening in honor of Miss Lyle Washington, of Macon, Ga. The music and games were thoroughly enjoyed by the guests of the evening. Those present were Misses Elsie Bass, Lyle Washington, Louise Taylor, Jola Battle, Madams Sarah Jones, Mary North, Messrs. S. A. Jones, Samuel Brown, William Kelly, James Sawyers and David Thomas. An enticing collation was served, which consisted of caviar sandwich, tomato salad spring chicken, French rolls, pickles ice cream, frappe, sherry wine, etc.
DO NOT DESIRE A CHANGE IN THE GUBERNATORIAL CHAIR.
UNPRECEDENTED POLITICAL SITUATION IN TENNESSEE—NEGRO VOTERS OUTSPOKEN IN THEIR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR—NOT MAD WITH REPUBLICAN PARTY—ACTING IN A WAY THAT THEY CONSIDER BEST FOR THIS COMMONWEALTH—DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
The Negro voters of Tennessee seem to have about made up their minds as to the man they want for governor during the next four years, and for the first time in the history of this commonwealth they seem to be almost universally for a democrat. They are not made with anybody or any party, it appears, but are satisfied with the present incumbent. In conversation with several of the most prominent Negroes from all sections of the State the expressions were about the same, and they all said that the Negroes had decided to vote for the Hon. M. R. Patterson. When asked the reason for so sudden a change on the part of the Negroes, they said it could not be so considered, for the Negro voters in their sections almost to a man made up their minds several months ago if Governor Patterson was nominated by the Democratic Primary they would give him their support. One gentleman who seemed to be very much grieved at the stand taken by the colored voters, said he had attempted to show the men that the Democratic party was stronger now than the Republican and did not need the Negro vote to elect him; but he said that his argument had no effect; the men gave him to understand that they were going to vote for Patterson, if the Republican candidate did not receive a single vote. One very prominent man was heard to remark that he did not believe the Republican party had a man who could come up to Governor Patterson's record as the chief executive of the state. Not so much was heard concerning the national ticket but it is apparent that most all who vote for Patterson will vote for Bryan. This may not be the true situation, but from present indications it seems to be a pretty safe prediction. If a mass meeting has been held the knowledge of the same could not be learned; but rather it seems to be a quiet and sober conclusion.
EMBROIDERY CLUB.
The Lilac Embroidery Club met Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. J. L. Watkins, of Kassit street, Mrs. Washington, the president of the club, delivered an interesting address along the line of Drawn and Embroidery work. After all business had been transacted the ladies were invited into the dining-room where a three-course menu was served. Those present were Mesdames P. A. Washington, Nellie Gouch, J. L. Watkins, Lawrence Moore, John Jennings, Williams Bonds, Johnson, Eirvin. The Club will meet with Mrs. Hattie Johnson, of Fairview avenue, next meeting.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Mrs. Annie V. Streat entertained Tuesday, July 28, at her residence, 920 Shankland street, in celebration of the birthday anniversary of her sister, Miss Willa Mai Streat.

The guests were Misses Pauline Matthews, Essie Jordan, Willa Mai Hurt, Maggie Wingfield, of Columbia; Maggie L. Cockrill, Eudora L. McClelland, Mattie M. Baker, Birdie Tidwell, of Dickson; Messrs.

DEATH OF HENRY BRADFORD.
A Centenarian who Had Spent Most of His Life in Nashville.
On Saturday evening about 7:30 Mr. Henry Bradford, one of Tennessee's oldest citizens, died at his home, 1916 Cartwright street. Mr. Bradford had lived in Nashville more than seventy years. He was born in the State of Virginia in 1807, hence at the time of his death he was 101 years old. Mr. Bradford had passed through the darkest days of slavery, serving but two masters, and retained a remarkable physique and an excellent memory. He was one of the extremely few who have lived to celebrate their one-hundredth anniversary. He had but two spells of sickness during his lifetime. The first was in 1892, and the second, which proved fatal, began in 1904. Although sick about three years, he was not confined to his bed until the latter part of 1907. At the time of his death he had only recently moved to his new home. He had lived for forty years at the old homestead at the corner of Grundy street and Fifteenth avenue, North (Stonewall street.)
Mr. Bradford was the father of eleven children, but death claimed all but three sons, who are all residing in this city at present. Only one son, however (Andrew J.), was present at the time of his death. The others, Henry C. and A. B., were not able to reach the bedside to witness the end.
A remarkable life and a long career were brought to a peaceful end. Much of Nashville's history and many prominent men who have long since gone to their reward, were well acquainted with the deceased. He was personally acquainted with ex-Governor Polk, Andrew Jackson and many others who made the Volunteer State famous. As a slave he was most trustworthy, and came out with an honorable record. As soon as the news of his death was circulated, his young mistress, Mrs. Evie Burr, who still resides in the vicinity of Nashville, hurried to the sorrowing home to pay her respects.
The deceased was never a soldier in either the Confederate or Union army. He was familiar with the entire South, having done special services before and during the war as a coachman and teamster for his owners. He made many trips from Nashville by road to New Orleans, Mobile and Florida. His last public service was in the commissary department of the United States government, when the commissary stood where the rock church, at the intersection of Ewing avenue and High street, is now located. The fatal illness of Mr. Bradford is reckoned from the time of the death of his wife, whom he survived only about three years.
The funeral services over the remains were held at the home at 1916 Cartwright street, at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The interment was made at Greenwood Cemetery. The funeral was directed by Taylor & Co., only the family and intimate friends being present.
MRS. M. C. KENNEY IN AR KANSAS.
Mrs. Maria C. Kenney visited the State Federation of Women in Hot Springs, Ark., and was urged to speak more than once to this body and to the largest congregation of women of the city that has ever met at that place. This lecture is said to surpass anything of its kind ever attempted in that city.
Among other things, Mrs. Kenney is urging the Negro to buy land. She holds that public school-teachers and worthy pastors should be paid larger salaries; that we must have better schoolhouses, both in cities and rural districts; that every woman should urge all children to attend school regularly; that the Government would make no mistake in taking the same interest in the Negro farmer and other laborers that it is now taking in the Indian. Though every day and night for the entire reason was engaged, Mrs. Kenney has been compelled to cancel them, but will take up her work later.
PROF. KEALING IN THE CITY.
Prof. H. T. Kealing, of Philadelphia, Pa., was in the city last week visiting friends and looking into the progress of the Negroes of this city along business lines. Prof. Kealing's editor and publisher of the A. M. E. Church Review, a quarterly magazine published by the African Methist Episcopal Church. It is the oldest periodical of its kind published by Negroes in this country, and has always been conducted on a high plane. Rev. B. T. Tanner, now a retired bishop, was the first editor, and retained the position until he was elected to the bishopric about sixteen years ago. He was succeeded by the present editor, Prof. H. T. Kealing, who has shown rare ability in keeping the quality up to the high standard the magazine now attains. Prof. Kealing left Tuesday night for Texas.
Columbia, Tenn., August 3.—The entire membership of the Bachelor Girls' Club, which has the distinction of being the only organization of its name and having about the same office, in Middle Tennessee, mourns the loss of Miss Maggie E. Kelly, whose funeral services were held at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church last Thursday. Fitting resolutions will be presented at the next regular meeting of the club out of respect for the deceased. Miss Kelly was one of the charter members and prime movers of the organization. In fact, she was the life of the club, and it was through her efforts and extreme popularity that the Bachelor Girls enjoyed many entertainments and outings that they carried out during their short period of organization. While the membership of the club is not extremely large, it is very select. Each member of the club is designated by the name of some flower; thus the peculiar distinction and notoriety that the club attained is due to this fact. Their leap year entertainment last spring will not be forgotten. Visitors were here from many parts of the State, and it is regretted that the membership of the club this summer is so scattered that they could not be present at the services. Those who were in the city paid fitting respects and a deserving tribute at the services.
H. T. G. M. NOTES.
On Saturday afternoon, July 25, the H. T. G. M. Club met with the Misses Banks on the Capitol Square. Quite a number of new and very interesting games were played during the meeting, all of which were enjoyed by those present. The prize in one of the games was won by Miss Mary Kane Hill, and another by Miss Georgia A. Watkins. Quite a number of visiting ladies were present and expressed themselves as being highly entertained. A delicious menu was served in two courses. Miss Alberta K. Davis will entertain the club Saturday, August 8. Miss Lillian Badger, president of the club, is in Atlanta visiting relatives, but will most probably return to be present at the next meeting. Miss Sumner made a flying trip to the city on business, but returned immediately to Kentucky, where she and her mother are spending a few weeks. They will return to the city in September. Quite a number of the young ladies have received souvenir post cards from Miss Willie Page, who is still in Chicago with her father.
HONORS GUESTS.
Miss Elmira Shivers, of 626 Ewing avenue, entertained last Thursday evening in honor of her sister and friends. The evening was spent very pleasantly. Those present were Mesdames Parker and Ulley of Louisville, Mrs. Reynolds of Atlanta, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Dodd, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Coffee, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. McEwin, Mr. and Mrs. A. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. A. Dodson, Mesdames Robt. Ralph, A. M. Kelly, Mrs. Borar of Knoxville, Mrs. Mary Bell, Misses Ella Harris, Sarah Brown, Anna Ramsey, Messrs. Alex Goodwine, J. H. Lillard, Ross Fleming and Rev. Wm. Bradley,
SUMMER VISITORS AT TULLA-HOMA
Misses Ruth Pearl McKinney and Estella Montague returned Monday from a delightful week-end stay in Tullahoma. During their stay in the mountains a round of social affairs were planned in their honor by Mesdames J. B. Singleton and Lovell Landers, who are summering there. Saturday evening a tea was tendered them by Mrs. Robt. Jones, Mrs. Singleton's hostess, and on Sunday an elaborate dinner was given them by Mrs. Landers at the lovely home of Mrs. Emeline Brown. A tallyho ride to the Cascade Falls, followed by a luncheon at the home of Miss Malinda Rhoten, ended a round of gayeties long to be remembered.

BEAUTIFUL CHURCH AUDI-
TORIUM.
For several days the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, located on Jefferson street, has been in the charge of painters and paper-hangers, and they, through their skill, have brought about a considerable change. The walls are nicely paper with deep green color with a scarlet border of beautiful roses. Rev. J. C. Fields is pastor of this church and will have the re-opening on the 16th of this month. All are cordially invited.
See Boyd & Battle in their handsome "turn-outs" in the big emancipation parade to-morrow. They are giving up-to-now service in the livery business. Main 4496-Y.

A CONTRAST.
Last week the sheriff of Pensacola,
Fla., put up a fight in the defense of a
prisoner's life that will be long remem-
bered in that city. A mob demanded
of him a Negro prisoner who was ac:
cused of assaulting a white woman.
‘The mob got the prisoner, but only aft:
er a fight in which several were killed
and perhaps a dozen or more of the
attacking party seriously wounded.
If the prisoner were guilty of the
crime charged against him, he de-
served death. This brave sheriff be-
Heved this possibly as strongly as any
of the members of the lynching party,
but he recognized that there was a
way prescribed by the law to deter.
mine the question. He had taken his
oath to protect the prisoners under his
charge, to uphold the majesty of the
law, and as far as it was in his power,
he lived up to his obligations,
But what a contrast is presented by
Kentucky, that state where the “night
riders” make or unmake the law to
suit their every whim! A mob went
to a jail last Saturday and took four
men who were accused of having en.
dorsed a murder that had been con
mitted, and strung them up on a, near:
by tree without the civil authorities of
fering one iota of resistance.
The Kentucky sheriff is an example
of the average officers where lynchings
qgeur, They offer no resistance, but
pander to the sentiment represented by
the men forming the lynching, bees,
most of the members of, which, we be
lieve these sheriffs know and-recognize
nize with the hope of making, votes
when election time comes, ‘hat: this
is true is proven by the case of; Sherif
Shipp, of Hamilton County, who has,
in one or two of his campaigns for of
fiee, made direct appeal to the white
voters on his record in the Ed. John:
son case
The brave officer at Pensacola lost
his prisoner this time, but in our opin.
jon he will never again be attacked
by a mob, He knows too well how te
protect his prisoners. He shoots te
kill. If there were a few hundred
more officers like the one in Florida
the blight of lynchings would soon be
banished from American civilization,
DEATH OF SENATOR ALLISON,
The death of Senator William B. Al-
lison, of Iowa, removes from the Sen-
ate of the United States one of its most
noted and honored members. He served
ten years in the House of Representa-
tives and thirty-five years in the Sen-
ate, making forty-five years continu-
ous service in Congress. In length of
service he surpassed Benton, Hoar,
Lodge, Reagan or Morgan. He may
not have been as conspicuous or bril-
liant as either of these, but he was as
useful. Had he not filled creditably
the exalted position his state would
have retired him. But being identified
with the administration of the national
affairs of his country for so many
years is indicative of the worth of the
man.
Senator Allison possessed that broad
statesmanship and exalted patriotism
that made him capable of dealing with
all classes of American citizenship as
a true statesman. His integrity of
character and purity of purpose in
dealing with all that pertained to the
welfare of his country and the perpe-
tuity of its liberties and institutions
are a conspicuous part of his forty-five
years of public service.
The late N. W. Cuney, of Texas, one
of the most powerful and noted Negro
statesmen and politicians which the
Negro race has produced, was an ar
dent admirer of the Iowa statesman
and fought his last great political bat
tle in 1892 to carry the delegation o!
his state to the National Convention tc
support Allison for the presidential
nomination, because he believed in him
as a broad-minded statesman,
The entire country as well as his
party will miss the wisdom and coun
sel of the wise and matured states
man who has just passed away.
GREATER NASHVILLE EDITION OF
THE GLOBE.
‘The Greater Nashville Edition of
The Globe will offer one of the best
advertising mediums for the business
‘and professional men, the churches and
schools, the secret societies and fra-
ternal insurance companies, ever got-
ten out by a journal in this city. We
hope to have the hearty co-operation
of every interest in the race in this
‘special edition to make it truly repre-
sentative of all the activities of the
race in this city and Davidson County.
Nashville possesses some of the most
energetic business men of the race to
be found in the country, and her peo
ple, as a whole, are better housed and
are more progressive than those of al-
most any city in the country, Join
with The Globe in presenting the
bright side of the race question in our
home city to the whole world.
Some of our friends opine that, the
Globe is taking sides in factional fights
occurring in the secret societies. They
are wrong. The Globe has never joined
in these fights and does not want to
become embroiled in such affairs and
will not become so interested unless
forced to do so in our own defense.
We have felt that any views the edi-
tor or any of the other owners of
The Globe may have concerning the
conduction of secret fraternities ought
be expressed in the lodge room and
have followed this rule.
| Mr. David P. Browder, Sr., can be
depended upon, usually, to come to Lue
defense of the Negro when an attack
is made upom eur race by some such
crank ag the ene who wrote the ar-
ticle om Negro Bducation in one of the
local; newspapers last week. It is be-
cause of such Southern men as Mr.
Browder that iv is possible for the Ne-
gro to live and progress in the South.
May his tribe be increased a thousand-
fold and Mr, Browder be spared for
many years to confuse fools and idiets.
| Tennessee quite to have a schoot for
‘the Negi youth supported by appro-
priations from the general treasury.
Now is the time to begin a campaign
for such a school. Let an organization
be formed and work to that end be-
gun. We are due a pagt of the Mor-
rill Fund, Let’s make an effort to get
it. The Globe began an agitation of
the subject more than a year ago and
we believe the school can be secured if
the matter Is followed up by energetic
action. y
John Temple Graves says the Inde-
pendence League's Convention was
~omposed of Africans, Indians and Cau-
asians, Now wh» would have thought
that a Georria democrat would be a
part and parcel of a convention which
contained Nevo delegates! Hearst
must have brought J. Temp. body and
soul, when he gave him a fob on one
of his New York newspapers!
The republicans of Tennessee will
hold their two conventions next week.
In the meanwhile the democrats will
take on that smile that will not come
off. The colored voters will not haye
a chance to be heard for one minute
we suspect at these conventions, but
they will be heard from in November.
Business firms that advertise in
newspapers run by Negroes want the
trade of the Negro people. And one
can rest assured that when he patron-
izes those who advertise in The Globe
he will receive satisfactory treatment.
Patronize our advertisers and always
mention that you saw their “ad” in
The Globe.
Dr. Booker T. Washington is mak-
ing an effort to raise the mortgage
upon the homestead of Frederick
Douglass by subscriptions collected ex-
clusively from Negroes. The money
should be raised and Nashville should
contribute her part. Few are able to
make big contributions, yet every one
is able to give his mite.
The Negro voters of the North are
liable to give the republican manage-
ment some trouble this year. Like-
wise the voters of Tennessee are liable
to give trouble in the gubernatorial
race.

Lynchings, tie
DS oat oe ee See
Wholesale murders, which: would be
more appropriate to term massacres,
such, for instanee, as were committed
at Russellville, Ky., last week and in
a small Texas town a few weeks back,
constitute a grave problem with which
this country soon or late will have to
deal as a matter dangerously affect-
ing its liberties and gelf-preserva-
tion, The thirst for blood by the as-
sassins who glut their unnatural appe-
tites between the suns as a kind of
ghoulish pastime should be quenched
by the better elements of the South.
The laws are made by the white man,
interpreted and executed by him, and
there is not a scintilla of excuse for
murdering men without trial, since the
courts are entirely in his hands. The
South has tolerated these murders, be-
cause the victims have been Negroes,
already too long. It should awaken to
the fact that it is breeding anarchists
of the worst type—anarchists who will
|demand tribute of the well-to-do and
wealthy, the peaceable and law-abiding
citizenry of their own kind by and by.
It is nursing at its bosom an adder
whose deadly fangs will some day pen-
etrate its vitals.
No governmenti will stand whose
laws are utterly disregarded and vio-
lated with impunity as has been done
‘in different sections of the South re-
cently. In the face of the white man’s
boasted pretensions of respect for
constituted authority, men, without
& semblance of court trial, and
against whom there were no serious
charges prefer red, have been taken from
the custody of the law and murdered
and the murderers have gone about
their business as though they had com
mitted no crime. This is an incubus
clinging to the body politic of the
South that must inevitably, if con
tinued to be tolerated, make her name
an execration and a synonym of ruth
jess and unwarranted murder—mur

This is likely the program that was
carried out at Russellville, Ky.
The South was once considered the
home of chivalry, Is her name now to
go down as a travesty on courage and
high manhood? Does the South dare
not trust its laws, or is it afraid of evi-
dence such aS would likely have been
brought out in the Russellville case,
showing that the men did not deserve
hanging?
Nations must some day answer for
their sins and dereliction of duty as do
individuals, and the South will be
called upon to say why she allowed
these lynching murderers to go so
long unwhipped of justice.
The history of the world teems with
examples of fallen empires, kingdoms
and republics whose downfalls are
traceable to their inhumanities to
large numbers of their vassals, sub-
jects and citizens. They paid the
price of their sins in the terrible catas:
trophes which were their logical se-
quence.
The South's most insiduous and
deadly foe are its lynchers, who are
now anarchists in embryo—who will
be the future terrorists and destroyers
of her accumulated wealth. This de
fiance of laws will grow more defiant
and assume other forms of lawlessness
if not checked and wiped out.
JADECER.
NEGRO EDUCATION,
Sneed ali feet nt Mig rec oe ota
In your issue of July 28th, 1908,
there appears an article on “Negro Ed-
ucation,” signed S. J. Cobb. The injus-
tice and anachronistic inaccuracy of
that article compel me -to appeal to
that broadness of view and catholicity
of spirit that leads the American to
publish news; and ask space to reply.
Ist. There are not a_ half-dozen
graduates of Booker T. Washington's
school who are “hired out on farms as
laborers.” Is not this true of any
school in the world? The poorest paid,
the hardest worked and most poorly
provided—for labor in America is that
“hired out on the farms.” That is
the reason so many people prefer dis-
ease and crowding in the city to health
and room in the country—a limited
measure of freedom accompanies the
first condition; serfdom and poverty,
if not actual slavery, accompanies the
other. Until farm labor is hetter paid
the farm employer will not be able to
command a high grade of labor either
white or black.
2nd. As to education and criminal-
ity. Some people use terms in a very
elastic sense. A stupid, ignorant Ne-
gro who can, with concentration of all
his powers legibly scribble his name
or mayhap spell through a column of
the simplest English, is put down as
educated when making up criminal
statistics against the Negro. This is
manifestly unfair. The criminal class-
es among us are not the educated
classes but are the ignorant classes.
8rd. As to taxes, ete. The perma-
nency of a republic depends upon the
intelligence of its citizenship. Repub-
lican governments then provide for
the education of their citizens not as
a charity but as an act of self-defense
—on the same principle that we look
after a case of small-pox or yellow-
fever. Justice demands that every one

WINCHESTER NOTES.
If religious fervor counts for anything at all, then this place should be the most refined in the entire state of Tennessee. Revivals, baptizings and missions galore, have been our constant companions. Since every movement is based on some precedent, the gradual shifting of the plunging fray to the descendants of Ham's younger brother is made apparent. A few days ago a number was immersed. However, if the month of August maintains the standard established by July in revivals and baptizings there will be little left to do, until a new generation appears.
"A trip to Hell with Snow," was what many of the people saw recently at the two churches; but gentle readers, it was only of the moving picture variety. Of course, the credulous were there—some for curiosity, some to see and to be seen, and others to note man's imagination of Lucifer's abode, done in water colors. Large crowds were in attendance, and a collection raised for some orphanage somewhere in the state. All in all the exhibitions were of a mediocre trend, with little or no moral worth to the community.
Mrs. Lula Gray had quite a jolly crowd at her lawn entertainment.
Mrs. Townsend spent several days in Nashville, the guest of her son, Dr. A. M. Townsend.
Rev. Mr. Jenkins, pastor of the Decherd A. M. E. Church, was in the city Wednesday. Mrs. Cooley visited last week in Columbia and Pulsaki.
Mr Tom Trigg is in Chattanooga.
To the poor Indian with untutored mind came quietly into this neighborhood, hearts and pocket-books of many colored citizens who are wont to stake their belief on fortunes, as told by any nomadic child of forest, desert or plain. Of course, the mysteries were unfolded and a reassuring future promised, while quarters and halves vanished in the well known ratio of sixteen to one. So runs the first Indian legend in this place, only to be followed in easy succession by a band of horse trading Gypsies, who revealed in the same style as Hiawatha, and to almost the same identical persons. It is about time that some of the city preachers should take a cue from Paul's address to the Athenians on Mars Hill, and preach: "I perceive that in all things you are too superstitions."

DEATH OF MERRITT L. WOODY.
San Antonio, Tex., August 1.—Merritt L. Woody, one of the race's brightest and most promising young men, died at his home in Spokane, Wash., a week ago. Mr. Woody was born and reared in San Antonio, Tex., where his mother and other relatives yet live. After finishing his education he went North with a hope of finding a better field of usefulness, and located in Chicago. About five years since he moved to Spokane and immediately took the foremost rank in the affairs of his race. He was an employee of the State Government, and was quite active in politics, and also a member of the A. M. E. Church and was only recently ordained to preach.
Mr. Woody suffered a considerable time with rheumatism of the heart, and about four weeks since he was taken down and continued to grow weaker until last Tuesday, when he quietly passed away, leaving a wife, mother, sister, brother and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was buried Thursday afternoon in Spokane, as it was his wish to be buried at his wife's home.
OUTING AT THE HERMITAGE.
The Evening Star Club had one of the most enjoyable and select outings of the season last Monday, August 3, at the Hermitage Homestead. The gates were very generously opened to the happy crowd of young ladies and gentlemen, and the fresh, water, cool breezes, and all other pleasing surroundings added to their happiness.
After a very tempting dinner had been served, consisting of everything from string beans and bacon to chicken, ham and custard, and everything which goes to make a person who had just taken a 12-mile ride feel refreshing. The crowd went to view some of the old relics of General Jackson. An interesting sight was the old carriage in which the general made the trip from Nashville to Washington in 30 days.
Ice cream and sherbet was served in abundance to the happy party in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Guest, Mrs. Ella Hamilton, chaperons; Misses M. A. Hall, Corynne McGavock, Florence Kirk, Henrietta Hibbett, Mary Batts, Hattie Bingham, Bertha McCullough, Louise Smith, Messrs. Powell, Taylor, Sumner, Pointer, Moody, Hunt, Brown, Master T. M. Hill and little Miss Louise Hill.

CHICAGO LETEMGO OUR ANNUAL BARGAIN CARNIVAL SALE The Greatest Event of the Year
By a lucky chance, and having the ready cash, we have purchased at 35 cents on the dollar 1,850 Men's fine Summer Suits from the famous manufacturing house of Kling Bros., Chicago. They had just this many fine garments to unload, and we took the lot at a ridiculous price. The reputation of Kling Bros, and the high quality of their clothing, is too well known to be questioned. Other dealers are glad to handle their lines, as we do, but none ever had the chance to offer their goods at such a sacrifice before. Every one of these Suits is new, stylish and up-to-date, made for this season. We have grouped them into four grand lots, and put the price so low that any man who can raise the money will buy a supply while such bargains last. Come in at once. Your size and just what you want is here now, but take no chance, for the garments can't stay in our house long at such prices.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
TEXAS VS. TENNESSEE.
San Antonio, Texas, July 31, 08.—The Memphis Union Giants, Tennessee's fastest bunch of ball tassers, met the San Antonio Black Bronchos in a series of three games Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Black Bronchos are the Texas champions, and last season won the championship of the South by defeating the Birmingham Giants in a series of six games, allowing the Alabama team but one victory. This season they have met some of the strongest teams of the South and sent them all away a defeated foe. All three of the games with Memphis were hard fought, and were full of ginger from start to finish.
Saturday's game opened the series and "Tank" Stewart, who was with the Bronchos last season, did the twirling for Memphis, while Mooney acted for San Antonio. It was a pretty game and many snappy plays were made. The score was 3 to 1 in favor of San Antonio.
Sunday's game was the fastest, the hardest fought, and the most interesting seen on the local diamond this season. About two thousand people were present. Julius London, known as Tennessee's greatest pitcher, did the slabwork for Memphis, while "Baby" Webb looked after the home team. It was a battle royal. Greek meeting Greek, a pitcher's battle with honors about even, and requiring fourteen innings to tell the tale. The first man up for San Antonio scored while Memphis was held down to no runs until the fifth inning, when she managed to squeeze one across the home plate. From then until the fourteenth inning neither team was able to reach the score board with a run. The large attendance was never certain as to who would win, and they sat with suspended breath until a sensational play would bring them to their feet, and then rend the air with their wild cheering. At last in the fourteenth inning "Black Cat" (John Jacobs) was called to bat. He met the first ball delivered by the great London, driving over the right field fence for a home run, and winning the game for San Antonio. The score was 2 to 1.
The last of the series was played Monday. Boone for Memphis and "Cyclone" Joe Williams for San Antonio were the slabmen. This, like the others, was a splendid game, and would have done honor to the American or National League. Memphis fought hard, but it went against them 5 to 4, making three straight for San Antonio.
The Bronchos will tour North Texas for the next few days and return on August 16th, to face their old time rivals, the Birmingham Giants.
MANY TO AGAIN WAGER ON GANS.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.—The settling of all details of the Gans-Nelson return match for Sept. 9 assures another good fight. There is sure to be a great crowd, as it is a State holiday. Eddie Smith has been chosen referee, and is the best man on the coast, as he is in fine physical condition and follows the men closely noting every blow.
Whether Nelson has been given a bonus of 20 per cent, win or lose, is something which no one will find out until after the fight; but Willie Britt is fully as exacting as Nolan ever was and appreciates Nelson's value as a drawing card.
The weight and all general conditions are as in the previous match, which makes the issue clean cut. If Gans is beaten again then he is practically out of the ring for good. Although nearly all the sporting men lost heavily on Gans in the previous fight they will be on hand again and many again will wager coin on the Negro, but Nelson will be the favorite this time, probably at 10 to 7.

A new angle in the promoting game presented itself during the week when it was announced that a number of prominent Ely, Nev., men had pledged themselves to put up $30,000 for "Tex" Rickard to secure a match between Heavyweight Champion Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson for a finish fight at that place on Thanksgiving day. This was the same amount Rickard offered for another Nelson-Gans fight not long ago, but he was forced to give up his plans for that event when he discovered that the railroads would not cut rates from the neighboring states. From this it looks as if Rickard either was not sure of that $30,000 backing for the proposed Nelson-Gans go or that he has come to some understanding with the railroads.
As to the fight itself Rickard asserts that Burns will be getting the big bit, and that he can hardly duck Johnson when he returns to this country from Australia in a month or two.
