THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. G. O. P. TO PLAY DOUBLE HEADER Home Rule Republicans Name Hon. T. A. Wright. "I WON'T HEAR YOU ONE MINUTE" FACTION SELECTS HON. G. N. TILLMAN. MR. J. W. OVERTREE, "A COLORED BROTHER," SECONDS THE NOMINATION OF HON. MR. WRIGHT—MR. J. C. NAPIER, "COLORED," SECONDS THE NOMINATION OF HON. MR. TILLMAN-BOTH CONVENTIONS DECLARE FOR STATE WIDE PROHIBITION-HOME RULE CROWD FAVOR WORKING CONVICTS ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY-THE FIGHT FOR PIE WILL BE WATCHED. The two factions of the Republican party in Tennessee met this week and each nominated their choice for governor. The "Home Rule" faction met in Chattanooga Monday, August 10th, and with little or no opposition nominated Hon. T. A. Wright, who accepted the honor in good spirits. He said in part: "I accept the banner that you place in my hands, and under your orders will carry it until the polls are closed on the third day of November." This was the keynote in a short, but ringing speech of acceptance of the Home-Rule nomination for Governor by the Hon. T. A. Wright, this afternoon. It was a notice, if any were needed, that the so-called insurgents were in the fight to a finish, and no one who witnessed the proceedings of this convention could doubt the sincerity and honesty of purpose so openly exhibited by the delegates. It means that the Sanders-Evans faction have a problem confronting them at Nasnville. They can either take Wright and patch up a truce, or take the other alternative of nominating Tillman or some other candidate and perpetuate the merriest war that has ever disturbed the Republican party in Tennessee. Very few people believe that Tillman wants the nomination under existing circumstances. He is known to be, in a measure, opposed to the state-wide plank in the platform, and the nomination of Wright by acclamation is something calculated to cause him to pause. The hour set for the calling of the convention was 1 o'clock. At that hour the house was less than half full. The auditorium is a building which can seat 4,500 people, and a conservative estimate would place the number in the hall at 1,500. The colored brother was not much in evidence, very few of them being present. Chairman John C. Houk mounted the stand at 1:40 and called the convention to order. The call was read by Secretary W. D. Kenner. The temporary officers of the convention were: Capt. W. P. Chamberlain, of Knox, Chairman; W. D. Kenner, Rogersville, Secretary; William Barker, Columbia, and W. O. Smith, Knoxville, Assistant Secretaries; Charles McCall, sergeant-at-arms. Jesse L. Rogers, of Knoxville, read the report of the Platform Committee, which was adopted unanimously and with great enthusiasm. The platform indorses the administration of President Roosevelt, and also declares its allegiance to Wm. H. Taft and James S. Sherman for President and Vice President. It declares against the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and indorses State-wide prohibition. It favors the passage of an anti-jug law. It favors honest elections, and declares that "the bribe giver is meaner than the bribe taker." It favors a bipartisan Election Commission, and is opposed to political machines for the distribution of officers, either State or Federal. It has a plank favoring the election of all State officers by popular vote, the term of office to be four years. Another plank is that convicts should be put to work upon the public highways. The rest of the document favors an eight-months' ten of public NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST, 14 1908. schools, the prohibition of the issuance of free passes to public officials by public corporations and indorses the pension system of the Federal Government. At this juncture came the roll call of districts for the nomination of a candidate for Governor. WRIGHT'S NAME PRESENTED. The First District yielded to the Second, and Jesse L. Rogers, of Knox, placed T. A. Wright in nomination in one of the best speeches heard before the convention. The mention of Mr. Wright's name was received with unbounded enthusiasm, and left no lingering doubts in the mind of anybody about the convention's choice. The nomination of Mr. Wright was seconded by a number of delegates, among whom were the Hon. R. S. Hopkins, of Columbia; Harry B. Anderson, of "The Imperial City of Memphis," and Jesse M. Littleton, of Winchester. Littleton said that it was "gratifying to see a Republican Convention in Tennessee in 1908 that doesn't need police protection." J. W. Overtree, a colored brother from Harriman, in seconding the nomination of Wright, delivering a very scholarly address upon the past, present and future of the Negro. Upon motion of Mr. Rogers the nomination of Wright was by acclamation, the delegates all rising in their seats. On Wednesday, August 12, the Evans-Sanders faction met in this city and nominated Hon. G. N. Tillman to carry the banner for their cause. He was placed in nomination by W. R. Cooper, of Knox County, who said in part: "I desire to name then a man who is known to you, nay, he is already named, his name is written on your faces, emblazoned on your counties, that of George N. Tillman"—here a demonstration of thirty-five seconds followed—"of Middle Tennessee, of Davidson County, of the city of Nashville, who shall be named to carry the banner of Republicanism to success in November. He is a man whose forefathers endured the hardships of the war of twenty years under Braddock; endured the privations of Valley Forge; whose ancestors crossed the Alleghenies, the Watauga and settled in Middle Tennessee. He has given his Life to its upbuilding. He is a man whose intelligence, education and acquirements meet every need of the present crisis. He is a man who within himself is a platform. His patriotism is unbounded, his benevolence unlimited and his charity knows no bounds. He is a man that any people may be proud of. As a Christian, a civilian, a business man, a patriot, he stands without a superior. It is my pleasure to offer you George N. Tillman as your next Governor." There was another demonstration lasting twenty seconds. TILLMAN UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Tillman's nomination was seconded by J. K. P. Martin, of Cleveland; Emerson, of McMinn, and others. Alf A. Taylor then moved, amid applause, to make the nomination of Tillman unanimous. This motion was seconded by E. L. Gregory, of Mt. Pleasant, amid much applause. Mr. Gregory declared there were tens of thousands of outraged Democrats who were just aching to support Tillman. Among others who seconded Taylor's motion was H. Clay Evans, who paid Tillman a high tribute. Superintendent Campbell, of Roane County, a negro who had persistently tried to gain the Chairman's notice, and had finally succeeded, seconded the nomination of Tillman, amid loud applause, especially from the negroes, who were proud to see Campbell stand up among the white Republicans. Bedford County, the home of Tillman, was declared to be enthusiastically in line. Another seconding speech was made by Mr. Polston, of Alamo, who set the delegates wild by declaring that Tillman was being cried for by the children. He said Tillman was "to the people what Castoria is to the children." There were cries of "question, question," but J. C. Napier, colored, seconded the nomination on behalf of Davidson County. He declared Tillman was to lead the State from under "the fraudum of Democracy." The nomination by acclamation was then made by rising vote, the delegates shouting wildly. Cries of "Tillman! Tillman!" rent the air, H. Clay Evans, E. L. Gregory and W. R. Cooper, of Knox, were appointed a committee to notify Tillman of his nomination. In accepting the nomination Mr. Tillman said in part: Notable Persons Join the Innumerable Caravan TO THE BEYOND—LOVING TRIB UTES PAID TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEPARTED. FUNERAL SERVICES HELD AT THREE LEADING CHURCHES-- MR. H. A. MALLOY, MR. JEFFERSON MARTIN, MRS. J. P. RHINES ANSWER LAST SUMMONS—SORROWING RELATIVES AND LOVING FRIENDS FILL THE CHURCHES — EXEMPLARY LIVES COMMENDED — SECRET SOCIETIES OUT IN FULL FORCE ALL LAID TO REST IN GREENWOOD CEMETERY. The Death Angel walked about in Nashville last week, treading here and there, talking beloved ones from many sections of the city in an unusual manner. A large number of deaths was reported. As a result on last Sunday there were three big funerals. The day was practically given over to funeral services at three of the leading churches. The first funeral service held for the day was at the Howard Congregational Church on Twelfth Avenue, North, at which place impressive services over the remains of J. S. Martin, a prominent business man, who had been identified with the business life of Nashville for many years was carried out. Although Mr. Martin was a man in the prime of life, he had only recently married. His sudden taking off leaves Nashville minus one active and progressive business man, a family bereft of a son, husband and brother. The services were not lengthy. They opened promptly at 11 o'clock. Rev. Geo. W. Moore, D. D., read the scripture, and the choir sang, "Asleep in Jesus." Rev. Mr. Ims read the following obituary: Mr. Jefferson S. Martin was born March 4, 1870, in Nashville, Tenn. His mother and father, Mr. Sylvester Martin, who was an ex-federal soldier, removed to Kentucky to live when he was in his infancy. Before he was ten years of age his father died, leaving a widow, two sons and two daughters. When he was eighteen years old he returned to Nashville in search of employment. After a search of several weeks he secured a position in the livery business of Mr. E. W. Napier, at the Custom House Livery Stable. By strict attention to duty he soon made himself an indispensable adjunct to the business and enjoyed the entire confidence of his employer. His fidelity in this capacity highly fitted him to take charge of the business and to operate it with the high degree of success which has characterized his subsequent course in life. Mr. Martin's life furnishes a splendid example of the blessings that intelligence, industry, thrift, push and economy will do for any young man. He came to this city twenty years ago, penniless and unknown. He leaves behind him a host of friends a name and an estate of which any one might be proud. He embraced religion some years ago and was at the time of his death a member of Howard Congregational Church. Before his death he repeatedly expressed a confiding hope in the Lord and Savior and was satisfied of his future and eternal safety. On November 7, 1906, he was married to Miss Anna Belle McCall of Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Martin's usual method of completing whatever he undertook was typified in completeness of the home into which he installed his bride. This union proved a most happy and felicitous one; and their home was always a most pleasant and hospitable haven for all of their friends. Mr. Martin had a tender and charitable side to his nature and always delighted in helping the unfortunate whose appeals always found the attention of his car. Many poor persons in this city will miss his kindly deeds. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow, a mother, a sister and three broth- ers. Besides these a host of relatives and friends in Nashville and elsewhere will drop a tear and feel a sad heartbeat when they realize that Jeff Martin is no more. May his good deeds follow him and may his soul rest with his God in peace. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Moore and Rev. G. L. Imes. At Spruce Street Bapfist Church at 2 o'clock, the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. John T. Rhines, were held. Old Spruce Street had not witnessed such an immense crowd for many days. Every available space in the church was taken. Hundreds of people came to pay the last tribute of respect to this noted Christian worker. Mrs. Rhines was known throughout the state of Tennessee. Aside from being a member of Spruce Street Church for thirty-one years, she was actively engaged in the W. C. T. U. work and was prominent in secret organizations. Throughout the city she was known and loved. The occasion was one of sorrow and sadness. This was attested and felt keenly during the fervent and sympathetic prayer offered by Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., of the First Baptist Church, just after the scripture reading by Rev. Mr. Imes. The sermon was preached by Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor of the church, who took in the life and the work of the deceased, paying tribute after tribute to the work she had accomplished. He spoke from the Beatitudes "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The discourse covered much of her life and ended in the beautiful climax that she was now with God. He also read the obituary. Mrs. Susie Luvenia Rhines departed this life at 11 o'clock p. m., on August 6th, 1908. She was the youngest of the eight children of Jeff. and Caroline Page, and was married to J. P. Rhines on the 23rd of December, 1883. She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, one son, mother, three brothers, two sisters, a host of relatives, friends and acquaintances. She professed religion, joined this church and was baptized by the lamented Rev. Nelson G. Merry, 31 years ago. Mrs. Rhines was always a consistent and devoted Christian worker both in the church and Sunday-school as long as health would permit; and was an active worker in the W. C. T. U. When her health failed her so that she could not come to the Sunday-school, she organized a Sunday-school at her home where she taught all the children of the neighborhood who would come. Mrs. Rhines was matron of the Widow's and orphan's home for four years, where she displayed great ability in managing and caring for those entrusted to her care. Four years ago she professed sanctification and at times visited their meetings. It was always her desire that Mr. Toney Alexander should sing, "Flee as a bird," at her funeral, but after his death, she asked that Mrs. Josie Henderson be requested to sing it. The other songs that she wanted sung were "Asleep in Jesus," "Lead, Kindly Light," "I would not live always; I ask not to stay Rev. Mr. Crosby assisted in the services and made an impressive talk, giving the experience and facts connected with the life and the work of Mrs. Rhines. Mrs. Josie Henderson sang "Flee as a bird to yon mountain," as this was the request of the deceased during her life. Dr. R. S. White read a letter, and the entire audience was given an opportunity to view the remains before they were borne to their last resting place. At Mt. Olive Baptist Church at 2:30, with fitting ceremony, and under the auspices of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the last sad rites were performed over the remains of H. A. Malloy, whose death takes from the midst of Nashville's busy secret order life, a pioneer. "Brother" Malloy, as he was generally called, was a familiar figure throughout the city. For years he had been in Nashville. He was among the faithful. Although stricken in years and minus of good sight, he was loved, honored, respected and a valiant worker in many ways. His illness was brief. He died Tuesday, but at the urgent request of the friends of the family and upon the request of some of the organizations to which he belonged, the services were not held until Sunday. A large crowd was present and Mt. Olive was crowded for the occasion. The ceremony was not elaborate. The sermon was preached by Rev. T. J. Lewis, assistant pastor of Mt. Olive, assisted by Revs. Porter and Oneal. The three funerals occupied the attention of the various portions of Nashville, and thus ended a sad day in the city. No.32 THE FORTIETH ANNUAL SESSION COMPLETE SUCCESSFUL FOUR DAYS WORK AT RUTHERFORD COUNTY CAPITAL. HISTORIC TOWN OF MURFREESBORO OVERRUN WITH BENEVOLENT WORKERS—REPORTS OF GENERAL OFFICERS ALL SHOW INCREASE IN NUMBER OF LODGES, MEMBERSHIP AND FINANCES—ALL OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED — NEXT MEETING TO BE HELD AT HUMBOLDT, TENN. — CITIZENS OF MURFREESBORO HIGHLY ENTERTAIN THEIR GUESTS. The town of Murfreesboro has been all aglow the major portion of this week with the spirit of Benevolence, having had the state assembly in their midst. The Benevolent Orders throughout the State of Tennessee are doing a great work for humanity, and a better evidence of the fact was never made known than is shown in the reports of the grand officers in the meeting just closed in Murfreesboro. The delegates attending all returned to their respective home with new zeal to enter into the work of elevating suffering humanity. On Monday, August 10th, according to the Constitution of the Benevolent Societies of the State of Tennessee, and pursuant to the adjournment of the thirty-ninth annual session of the delegated assembly, the fortieth annual meeting convened at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The assembly was called to order by the Grand President, J. W. Swanson, after which the devotional services were led by Grand Chaplain J. W. Gardner. The roll of officers and delegates was called. The welcome address was delivered in behalf of the Orders, and was much enjoyed by the entire assembly. The Grand President delivered his annual address, and each delegate seemed to be deeply interested in what was being said. By motion the Grand President's address was adopted and ordered spread on the face of the minutes. Carried. The Vice President made his annual address. The Vice President's annual address was adopted and ordered spread on the face of the minutes. Carried. The Grand Secretary made her report. By motion the Secretary's report was received and turned over to the Auditing Committee. The Grand Treasurer made his annual report. By motion the report was received and turned over to the Auditing Committee. All of the old officers were re-elected by acclamation, so well pleased were the delegates with their work for the past year. On Wednesday quite a little excitement was raised in the meeting by the appearance of one Ralph Rhodes, of Nashville, on the scene. He had Lawyer Mayfield as his attorney, and after securing a constable he proceeded to the place of meeting. Rhodes strutted into the church like a peacock, smoking a cigar and never removing his hat, and proceeded to order things done to his liking. He had a replevy warrant served on the Delegated Assembly and the head officers arrested. At the trial it was shown that he had no just ground for his action and the case was dismissed, Mr. Rhodes having to pay the cost of court. The trouble seemed to have been about a charter, but Rhodes could not show any just cause why he should interfere with the proceedings of the Delegated Assembly. Thursday morning was devoted to routine work, the president, J. W. Swanson, urging his committees to (Continued on Page 7.) GEO. W.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1908. PROF. JOHN HOPE, A. M. President Atlanta Baptist College. PRESIDENT HOPE, OF ATLANTA BAPTIST COLLEGE. On last Sunday, Nashville was favored with a visit from Prof. John Hope, A. M. He stopped over on important business matters connected with his work in Atlanta, Ga. Prof. Hope is not a stranger to the Nashville people. He spent several years here as a teacher in the old Roger Williams University, hence he knows of Nashville's history and especially that which connects it with the educational world. He is at present rated as one of the leading educators in the race. He is President of the Atlanta Baptist College, located at Atlanta, Ga. Prof. Hope has made a profound impression upon the trustees of the college and he has made a record as a president of the school. Long before he was selected as president or before the presidency of the school was made vacant, he was looked upon as good "presidential timber," and with an eye single to this he was kept in mind and reserved for the first good position that could be vacated in the Home Mission Society schools. Finally Rev. Geo. Sales, who served as president of the Atlanta Baptist College for some years, was promoted to the secretaryship of the work among Negroes, and immediately Prof. Hope was appointed to fill out his unexpired term and elected to the position later on. The college has enjoyed wonderful prosperity. It has broken all records, both in enrollment and in attendance. The faculty work as well as that of all the departments speaks volumes for the success of this able educator. An attempt was made to interview him while here as to his plans for the ensuing year, but little could be gained as no information was given out. It is known that the finances for conducting a more aggressive campaign in Georgia, like that of Tennessee, are limited. In fact, not much money now is coming directly to these large schools. Without an endowment it is impossible to do a great deal of work. Many of the schools that heretofore had regular incomes from some philanthropic organization are not receiving them now. Yet the Home Mission Society of New York, a Northern Baptist white organization, has looked after the affairs of the Atlanta Baptist College in an admirable way, and it was rumored at one time in Nashville that their failure to rebuild Roger Williams immediately was for the purpose of strengthening the school, as Prof. Archer, a teacher in Roger Williams, was taken to Atlanta, Miss Dixie Williams to Virginia and Prof. Walden to Bishop College. Yet Prof. Hope is the most optimistic of all school presidents. In a conversation with a Globe reporter, while not yielding to an interview, he expressed himself as well pleased with the present work. He stated that he was en route to Chicago, where he has relatives and where he goes in the interest of his school work. From Chicago he will go East, visiting New York, Massachusetts and the Business League in Maryland. Prof. Hope is from the East, although a native Georgian. He spent years in Massachusetts, where he received his first education, finally finishing from Brown University, one of the best schools in the country. It was this university that gave him his A.M. While in the city Prof. Hope was the guest of Dr. R. S. White. He visited the new Roger Williams site, and was delighted at the location and the beautiful prospects for a Southern University for the great Baptists. He left on the evening train for Chicago, Ill. DELIGHTFUL EVENING. A delightful time was spent at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Watkins, 1810 Jefferson street, on Monday evening. Their little sister, Alberta, entertained in honor of her guest, little Cerella Brown. The lawn was beautifully decorated with paper chains and Japanese lanterns. The scene was a very pleasing one. The little people played many out-door games and all had a nice time. After the games the little ones were invited into the beautiful dining-room, where a light menu was served. Those present were Cerella Brown, Nettie Harris of Atlanta, Ga., Madeline Dunlap Mary Merrill, Ruth Upshaw, Alberta Watkins, Edmonia White, Meomarta C. Budanauro, Howard and Ed Watkins, Leona Watkins and Georgia Connell. CHILDREN'S PARTY. Mrs. Anne Sharper entertained quite a number of children at the residence of Mrs. T. B. Caldwell Saturday evening, August 8, to celebrate the 7th birthday of her little granddaughter, Gladys C. Murdock. Outdoor games were the principal amusements. At 4 o'clock the guests were invited into the dining-room, where a three-course menu was served. Those present were Little Misses Alice Webster, Ambrozine McGhee, Dorris Carr, Lenora Davidson, Frankie and Cordelia Perkins, Gladys C. Murdock, Misses Agnes and Henrietta Mahin, Mary L. McGhee, Merlie Cynthia Carr, Masters Robert Dillahuny, James Thompson, Leonard B. Haddox, Frank Grahm, Jas. Taylor, Wm. Haddox, Antonio Haddox, Charles Carter. Many handsome presents were received. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The meeting was called to order Sunday by President Porter at its usual hour at Spruce Street Church. Dr. Townsend, the speaker of the occasion, being absent, the members had a general talk on the name Y. M. C. A. and the object of the Society, that is "to reach the unreached." The speakers dismissed the idea of reaching the unreached and desired to know how to reach the reached. The meeting was in a blaze of interest. It was decided that the next meeting be at the same place, Spruce Street Church, and Dr Townsend will be the speaker of the occasion. WILL GO TO TUSKEGEE. The appointment of Miss Miranda Winter of this city as instructor of instrumental music at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which was announced in this city last week is a recognition of Nashville's ability to furnish instructors in many departments and in many schools. Miss Winter will go to Tuskegee and will be in the instrumental department, as assistant to Mrs. Jennie Cheatham Lee who has been instructor in music at Tuskegee for a number of years. This adds another to the long list of Nashville people on the faculty of Tuskegee. The personnel of some of the teachers and instructors from Nashville is Mrs. Jennie Cheatham Lee. Miss Addie Streator, Mr. A. T. Landers, Miss Kate Evans, Mr. Fred J. Ewing, R. C. Fisher, and now comes Miss Winter making another to this list. She is to take up her work at the beginning of the present school year. LOCALETS. Miss Florence Sanders is visiting at Madison, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Price, of 1900 Albion street, served dinner last Sunday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Booker Bryant, of Hickman County, Tenn. A two-course dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant left Monday night for Hopkinsville, where they will make a short stay. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Frierson, of Glencill, entertained the following at a beautifully appointed luncheon on Thursday of last week: Mrs. Irene Doxey Robinson, Miss Alice Doxey and Mr. Wm. S. Nelson. Mrs. Jessie Brown, 2411 Vincent street, Mt. Nebo, has just returned from Chattanooga and Mount Eagle. The Misses Perkins, of Columbia, are the guests of Miss Geneva Bender, of East Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hall are rejoicing over the arrival of Miss Susic Hall, who reached the city on the 7th day of August. The little one's grandmother, and Mr. F. D. Lowery, Mrs. Hall's father, are "all smiles." Miss Alice L. Doxey, of Third avenue, North, left the city last Thursday morning for Terre Haute, Ind., to visit her brother and sister, Mr. Henry Doxey and Mrs. Anna E. Letcher, formerly Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Letcher was married to Mr. J. J. Letcher on June the 18. They will reside in Terre Haute in the future. STONE RIVER ASSOCIATION. The Stone River Association held its annual sessions in Nashville last week. This association embraces a large number of Baptist churches. In connection with it is a Sunday-school convention. The missionary work and the Sunday-school work, together with the general outline of plans for the ensuing year, was given due consideration. Rev. J. C. Fields, of Nashville, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist Church, is moderator of the association, and Prof. Lowe, of the First Baptist Church, is secretary. The meeting opened Wednesday morning. Special music and special welcome addresses were rendered on the occasion. Speakers and corresponding delegates were present during the course of the meeting, and all in all, the entire week was spent in a profitable session. East Nashville had made ample preparations for their entertainment. Liberal contributions were made to all departments of the work. Roger Williams came in for its share. This will raise the amount of contributions already given for the rebuilding of the school. JAPANESE UMBRELLA DRILL. JAPANESE UMBRELLA DRILL.

(MARKET STREET.) NASHVILLE, TENN. GROUND BROKEN AT MOBILE. For Mai n Building of National Negro Fair—Impressive Ceremonies Mark Epoch-Making Event President Newsome's Inspiring Address—Past, Present and Future of Great Race Enterprise Graphically Told. Special by National Negro Press Bureau. Mobile, Ala., August 12.—The breaking of ground for and the beginning of the main exhibit building on the track set apart for the National Negro Fair was one of the most important events in the history of the race in this section of the country. A large crowd, gathered from the city and suburbs and many neighboring towns, witnessed the impressive exercises. The ground was broken with a nickel-plated spade wielded by Rev. H. N. Newswome, the energetic and resourceful president of the National Negro Fair Association. The implement that thus figures so prominently in the forthcoming exhibit of the progress of the South's strongest industrial factor, was presented by Mr. Paul Schmoll, the contractor, who is to work in conjunction with Mr. John A. Lankford, of Washington, D. C., the supervising architect and constructing engineer of the massive enterprise. The program was an elaborate one, and particular pains were taken to have every element of power and performance in the South represented, to indicate the widespread interest that is being aroused among the people at large and to show that it is the intention of the management to throw open the honors, emoluments and moral force of the great Fair to everybody who cares for the future of the race. WHAT THE FAIR AIMS TO ACCOMPLISH. President Newsome formally broke the ground, following the ceremony with an earnest and eloquent plea for the united support of the Negro people, saying among other pertinent things: "Dear Friends: We are here to break the ground and begin the main exhibit building for the National Negro Fair. We do not intend to stop until we turn the attention of all America to this spot, and bring Congress to our aid with an appropriation of $250,000. We are an integral part of the great and productive Southland, and here in the very heart of the nation's garden plot we will erect temples to which all may come and witness the evidences that justify our claim to honorable recognition as coworkers in the upbuilding of our common soil. Further, we expect to make this the most attractive, important and historic spot on earth for our race by collecting from all parts of this country, Cuba, the West Indies and Central America the handiwork of the Negro people, and center it on this spot for exhibition, to prove to America and the entire civilized world by tangible objects that we are really constructive, progressive and serviceable citizens. We are not looking for 'social equality,' nor are we encouraging such seekers to come into our mldst. All we want is a man's chance in the struggle for existence, and we will give incontrovertible testimony of our worthiness of the world's respect. We are now making an epoch in the history of our race. Let us combine our resources; let us come together and invest our mites in this national project and make it the success it ought to be—and can be made, if we so elect. A little from each will make much in the aggregate. Remember, brethren, we have plenty of white friends who live within a stone's throw of us all, who are ready and waiting to encourage and help us if we will just show a disposition to help ourselves. We are not only asking the colored people of the South to join in and make this Fair a success. It is truly national in scope and a cordial invitation is extended to our millions throughout the land and to our neighbors in the promising lands just outside our borders." Enthusiastic addresses were also delivered by George W. Sims, treasurer of the Fair Association; Rev. J. E. Lucas, F. H. Leavens, J. A. Allen, of New Orleans; Dr. W. F. Brown, Albert Boyd, Alex. Robinson, Capt. Louis Slade, Contractor Schmoll, Mrs. Susie E. Newsome and others. Their remarks were applauded to the echo. The National Negro Fair Quartette made up of Misses Eloise Dudley, Henrietta Clifton, Eula Bonner and Lucy Phillips, furnished music for the occasion and was highly complimented by all. PRESENT STATUS OF THE ENTERPRISE The projectors are greatly encouraged by the progress that is being made and the Fair will open in schedule time this fall. Thirty acres of land on the commanding plateau between Mobile and Whistler have been bought and a good fence built. Plans have been drawn for the twelve big buildings by Architect Robert R. Taylor, superintendent of industries at Tuskegee, Ala., and Supervising Architect John A. Lankford, who has erected some of the largest and finest buildings in the country, is perfecting his final arrangements for constructing them. The Association has already let a contract for the erection of the main building, to cost $10, 363, and it will be completed by October 1st at the latest, together with many booths and supplementary structures for concessionaries. At the special request of Hon. George W. Taylor, member of Congress from the Mobile district; Hon. F. G. Bromberg, formerly member of Congress, interested himself in the undertaking as adviser, and suggested that it be broadened so as to include the exhibits that may be made by Negroes of the West Indies, Cuba and Central America. The United States Congress has been asked for $250,000 to aid the Fair, and from the strong representations and industrial arts, there is every reason to believe that this aid will be cheerfully extended at the next session. Hon. G. W. Taylor is in thorough sympathy with the movement, and agreeing fully with the various suggestions that have been made to him, has consented to draft and push through a new bill for an appropriation, to serve to embrace the broader features here noted and to bring about the realization of all the plans so effectively conceived by President Newsome and his band of co-workers. Besides being an exposition of what the Negroes have accomplished in the arts and industries, and an instructive lesson in their relation to agriculture, aboriculture, forest preservation, mining and manufacturing, fisheries irrigation, etc., in which the federal Congress has a natural interest, the enterprise will be an occasion for the white people of the South to extend a word of encouragement to the thrifty and law-abiding colored citizen who is honestly striving to better his material condition and to become a more potent factor in the development of the commercial and business prestige of the South. The Fair is to be a "go," and President Newsome is again urging the Negroes everywhere to subscribe for the stock that is on the market, even if only $1 can be paid on the shares, which are placed within the reach of all. Dr. Newsome, who is pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, one of the largest congregations of Mobile, is a reliable man, and those who will kindly address him at 555 1-2 Dauphin street, will learn how they can best aid this epoch-making enterprise. I should feel that I was ungrateful to many kind friends, colored and white, of this community, as well as of Nashville, if I did not in some proper way make an expression of my feelings and that of my family, showing our great appreciation to so many friends and acquaintances who have expressed the greatest sorrow for the family in the calamity that has come to us recently, in the passing away of our loving child, Maggie. Simple words cannot show the intense feeling of our hearts, nor can language however expressive portray how keenly we feel this terrible affliction. Therefore in this sad hour it is comforting to know that we have the sympathy of ioving friends. In fact, this thought brings to our hearts unspeakable joy and if it be possible assuages to some extent our great load of sorrow. We therefore take this occasion to assure our friends that we appreciate as we should the many tender words that have come to us personally as well as is attested by many written expressions of grief. These we can never forget. The friendly and sympathizing comments of the local and Nashville press touching the character of the deceased, we are sure are deeply appreciated and we believe, too, are fitting tributes to the merit and virtue of the departed. Maggie lived not for herself but for others as well. This seemingly has been attested in this community where she was born and where she lived. Applying the thought on a larger scale the reflection comes that as with individuals so may it be with a race—"Virtue has its own rewards." In this death, though shocking to our nature, we may learn through it that "Life is what we make it;" that it matters not how humble we may be nor what station of life we may occupy, we should all live useful lives; that we should live up to the best that is in us, so that when death claims us it can be truly said of us, we have lived for a purpose; that we have exemplified in our lives and conduct the great purpose the Master has in creating us. EVENIING OF PLEASURE. Misses Madeline C. Dunlap and Marion W. Merrill entertained a few of their friends at a social Friday, August 7, at the residence of Mrs. Hannah Caruthers, 919 Cumberland street. The house was beautifully decorated. Music and games were thoroughly enjoyed. Those present were Misses Virginia C. Steele, Ruth M. Love, Ida M. Mabrey, Mattie R. Scott, Alma Petway, Consuelo Merrill, Messrs. Ed Watkins, Valder Kelly, Samuel Harrison, Howard Watkins and Clifford Kelly. A two-course menu was served. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1908. APPOINTED INSTRUCTOR IN MUSIC. Miss Lizzie Wells appointed to an Excellent Position in Austin, Tex. cellent Position in Austin, Tex. The appointment of Miss Elizabeth Sarah Wells to an important position in the Lone Star State is but another testimonial of the fitness and the push that has characterized quite a number of the recent graduates from the various schools of Nashville. A Globe reporter learns that Miss Wells has been given the position of instructor in music at the Deaf, Dumb and Blind institute for colored youth, which is located in Austin, the capital city of Texas. The position is an excellent berth. The salary is indeed a nice one. It will pay about $900 per annum. Thus Miss Wells begins her music career under the most flattering circumstances. By going to Austin, and by entering what is no doubt the largest distinctively Negro state institution operated by any state in the South, she will have an opportunity to show her ability as an instructor of music. Prof. H. S. Thompson, the superintendent of the institution, notified Miss Wells of her election last week. She contemplates being in Austin not later than September 1, in order to prepare for the opening of the school year, which begins September 15. It will be remembered that Miss Wells for some time was instructor in music at the Tennessee School for the Blind, located in this city, and that she left the school in order to complete her course in music. She finished with high honors with the class of 1908, and her recital was one of the enjoyable occasions of commencement week. Miss Wells was one of the active members in the Wednesday Evening Musical, an organization that devoted itself entirely to the study of music. She is also one of the popular young ladies of Nashville, the sister of Mrs. S. H. Brown, and daughter of Mrs. N. J. Anderson, of 131 Fourteenth avenue, North. Her family connections in this city rank among the oldest in Nashville. MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The fourth annual convention of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society, Tennessee Annual Conference, convenes at Mt. Juliet Wednesday and Thursday, August 26, 27. It is hoped that every Woman's Mite Missionary Society in the conference will be represented by delegates. The pastor and good people of Mt. Juliet are making ample arrangements for the entertainment of this convention. There will be good sermons, papers, prayers, songs, etc. There will also be discussions on these subjects: "The Spirit of Missions," by all presidents of W. M. M. societies; "The Influence of a Consecrated Life," by all delegates. Since last convention the following named missionaries have been aided: Nashville District, Dr. T. W.

THE NEGRO VOTER. The statement that any two or three men can turn the whole Negro vote either to Taft or to Bryan is an insult to the intelligence of our race. The Negro is doing his own thinking this year and he will vote or remain away from the polls to express his disapproval, as his conscience may dictate. It is all the veriest rot that this bishop, or that Dr., or some professor will be able to turn the colored vote over to Bryant or hold the vote for Taft. There is a growing independence among the Negro voters even here in Tennessee, as is proven by the large number of the race who are declaring openly that they will support Patterson in the coming contest for Governor. There is a spirit of unrest among the voters that will mean split tickets. Colored men claim that in voting for Patterson they will be voting for the best man before the people. What is true of Tennessee in a measure is true of the nation. The Negro this year is going to vote for the best man. Whether that vote shall be for Taft or Bryan will depend very much upon how these men shall express themselves upon questions vital to the Negro, during the campaign. Pointing to the fact that the democratic South "jim crows" the Negro will not carry the vote in the Taft column, for some of the doubtful voters will remember that republican Kentucky has not made an attempt to repeal her "jim crow" laws nor has her republican Governor made an attempt to bring the lynchers of the four innocent Negroes at Russellville to justice. Nor will the mere yelling of Brownsville be able to carry the colored vote "bag and baggage," to Bryan. Some of the voters will remember Mr. Bryan's equivocations upon the Walters interview and his Cooper's Union race speech. The way the Negro vote goes this year will depend very largely upon the candidates for the Presidency themselves and not upon any one big bishop or professor. SHIPP'S DEFEAT. There are but few Negroes in the state who will not rejoice at the defeat of Sheriff Shipp of Hamilton County for re-election. This rejoicing will be accepted, if the news is true that his defeat was caused by the Negro voters who voted against him to a man. We are willing to credit the statement that every Negro voted against Sheriff Shipp as a fact, but we THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY. AUGUST 14. 1908 attribute his defeat in part to the white voters who grew tired of the captain and his arrogant deputy sheriffs. Two years ago Capt. Shipp made the race for sheriff and issued a direct appeal to the white voters to sustain his actions in the Ed. Johnson case. Though money was used to try to buy off the Negro voters, they were opposed to Capt. Shipp to a man. The result of the election was that the sheriff was re-elected by an overwhelming majority, while all the other candidates on the democratic ticket, with the exception of one who was defeated, were elected by very small majorities. If the white republicans had been loyal to the nominee of their party two years ago, Capt. Shipp would have been defeated then. But they put the endorsement of the lynching of Ed. Johnson above party fealty and defeated their candidate. We are glad that the doughty captain has been relegated to private life and proud of the fact that the Negro voter was instrumental in bringing about such a result. We have a longing desire that the colored voters in some of the other communities of the South, where the officers are derelict in their duties, will follow the example set by the voters of Hamilton County. The political situation in West Virginia is very much like that in Tennessee. The republican party is split and has two tickets in the field. West Virginia is the only Southern state that has not adopted "jim crow" laws. This year the democrats have a demand for "jim crow" laws and a disfranchising act in their platform. It is to be hoped that the republicans of West Virginia will get together and that their whole ticket, from top to bottom, will be elected and save the state from the jim crow enactments. Ben Tillman, who is doing Europe, trying to regain his lost health, has paused in his sight-seeing tour long enough to give out an interview in which he states that he thinks Bryan will be elected. Tillman hands Taft a hot one about taking his speech of acceptance to Roosevelt for the latter's approval. Evidently while Ben has been across the waters he has not been fully informed of the high jinks "the Peerless" one has been accused of in an effort to capture the Negro vote of the North. The "home rule" republicans in their state convention Monday nominated the Hon. L. Asbury Wright, of Rockwood, for Governor, and placed him upon a state-wide prohibition platform. A colored brother was given a chance to orate at the convention to show that the gathering was representative. Wright is a good man with a clean record, and will doubtless make a strong race in East Tennessee, where he is well known. The New York World, which is the only daily newspaper in New York, published in English, that is supporting Bryan, wants the democratic candidate to assail the republican administration on the Brownsville affair. The Southern democratic journals though do not like the idea as they agree with Roosevelt. Consequently Bryan for once in his life will keep his mouth shut. Among the new exchanges to come to our desk is The Industrial Bulletin, a magazine published by Lucius A. Brown, of Philadelphia, Pa. The issue before us is Vol. I, No. 1, and is very creditable for the first issue of a magazine. The Globe welcomes The Industrial Bulletin and wishes it a successful career. Harry Smith's attack upon the late E. E. Cooper, was beneath the high standard he has usually maintained in the Cleveland Gazette of fighting the living and letting the "dead bury their dead." John Temple Graves has qualified himself as a vice-presidential candidate by having an operation performed We wonder if the operation was up his brain. Someone has asked what is the difference between a white democrat and a white republican here in the South. The only appreciable difference we are able to discover is that the former wants a local office while the latter wants a federal job. Bryan must have a curio factory in connection with his Fairview home judging by the number of presents he is distributing among his daily visitors. COMMUNICATION THE POLITICAL SITUATION. To The Nashville Globe: Under orders from Taft and Bryan the forces of the two great parties are moving into line for the determined struggle which will be made from now till the polls close on election day in November for political supremacy. Each is planning to invade the other's territory, drive the enemy from his old-time fortified position, flank or sweep around it and capture some of his forces who are half willing to be captured. Taft entertains the fond hope of shattering the Solid South by carrying Tennessee as did Roosevelt Missouri. That is a wilder dream than ever crept through the brain of Quixote. Bryan is hopeful of bringing to his aid a large element of Republicans whose alienation from the old party was brought about by a grave injustice done by the administration to a worthy set of men who had made clean records fighting the battles of their country. There are serious efforts being made to induce this disaffected element in every state to support Bryan. Organized efforts are afoot to carry out this part of the program. There met in Chicago recently some prominent and influential men of the race who effected an organization to support Bryan's candidacy, and the Negro American Political League Rev. J. Milton Waldron, President, in a great mass-meeting held in Washington, D. C., Aug. 7, also indorsed the Nebraskan. The disaffection in the ranks of Negro Republicans is the result of the President's reckless, not to say stupid, blunder in the Brownsville episode, and his stubbornness to let it remain so. He is now trying to relieve Taft of any connection with the affair. The President's solicitude for his protege and what may chance because of the Negro voter's attitude in the affair, is in itself prima facie evidence that some one has blundered, and the possible consequences, like a sheeted ghost, now begin to rise up to menace and affright. That the President lacked the courage to practice what he has preached and exacted of other men under his administration is apparent to all fair-minded and observant men. The meanness of the President's position in attempting to exonerate from all blame the man whom he wishes to see elected to carry out his (the President's) policies, the man who was at the head of the military department of the nation, and the man whose advice he could not have ignored without a serious breech of respect for the Secretary of War, is sufficient reason for the wide-spread opposition to the party among Negroes all over the country. They no longer will follow blindly the party that has been the recipient of their unquestioned loyalty through forty years, yet utterly ignore their most basic rights as citizens. We dreaded the election of Cleveland, but no evil effects were felt from the ascendency of that stalwart statesman other than were the sequence of Republican corruption and long tenure of office and administration of national affairs. No party ought to have a dead cinch on the government of this great Nation. That in itself creates a grave menace to the perpetuity of a righteous administration of equity and justice to all the people, for bloated conceit creeps in and the people's liberties are circumscribed. Were the Negro voters in the close or doubtful states to help to defeat the Republican party, there can be no doubt that it would be the right thing to do. They have naught in any sense to lose. The Democrat party can not win without their support, and it would not be foolish to admit that fact. Diplomacy is an important department of human knowledge, and now is the "psychological moment," so to speak, when the Negroes of the country should make the most of it. If they help Bryan and the party he leads to victory it is not likely they will be disfranchised any more rapidly than under Republican rule. The point attempted to be made here is clear. The Republicans couldn't, or didn't, stop the desecration of the Constitution by the wholesale disfranchisement acts, but if the Negro voters help the Democrats to the seat of power disfranchisement should cease. The Negroes on masse have clung too long to the derelict Republican party, as its permission or submission to their political elimination too clearly shows. They should be capable of reasoning now and should subserve their best later est right now, that is, at the holy box in November. JADECEE. Why Not Give Us a Part of Your Business!

To The Nashville Globe: The dead should be buried at a proper time. Three are four days at most is long enough to keep a corpse out of the ground. It is often asked, "What will lessen the death rate among our people?" One of the most important things is to have the dead interred and not kept exposed so long. To keep a corpse from being interred at a certain time is dangerous to the health of the living. It is true we love our dear ones, but after they have departed this life, what is the need of keeping them in our midst so long? This only tends to spread the disease, for there is no sickness that does not carry with it bacteria of some kind. So you see as long as the dead are in our midst the friends and relatives are kept up night after night, losing their rest, which tends to bring on disease, for rest is the most important thing the human body requires. We should look after the health of all. Suppose a person dies from an attack of typhoid fever or some other dread disease, and the corpse be kept for a week. Hundreds of persons would doubtless view the remains. Out of this number some would take in the germs of the disease, for the germs are still in the place where the person died. Why? Because these germs have not had time to die, and perhaps because the family was thoughtless of the fact that they should be careful and do all in their power to prevent the spread of the disease. LABESTER. A Card. To the Nashville Globe: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to extend to that great host of friends and acquaintances my thanks and hearty appreciation for their many acts of kindness and love shown my wife during her illness; these will always live in my memory and serve as an inspiration to me to do what I can for others. I only hope to live long enough to return those acts of kindness and to repay those deeds of love with interest. My son and I also want to thank our friends for their kind words of condolence. Trusting that the blessed God of peace may bring us all into that happy reward of everlasting joy, we are, as we always hope to remain, Your true friends, J. P. and J. T. RHINES. LADIES' INDUSTRIAL CLUB. The South Nashville Ladies' Industrial Club met at the home of Mrs. Goff Thursday afternoon. Quite a number of the ladies were present. A very interesting program was rendered as follows: Mrs. Susie Lewis, instrumental solo; Mrs. Hattie Hadley, recitation; Miss Hattie L. Scott, vocal solo; Mrs. Bessie Brooks, select reading. The other ladies present were Mrs. Goff, Mrs. Frierson, Mrs. Lowry and Mrs. Johnson.

Last Thursday's election passed off with no untoward incident, except the election of two school trustees favorable to the re-establishment of the colored school. It remains to be seen whether such hopes will be realized. Copious rains fell several days last week, breaking the drought which had this section of the country at its mercy for over a month. Everybody had a glad, broad smile upon his face, with the possible exception of that few, who wished the other and more formidable dry spell could vanished. This place, no doubt, has been for aging upon the neighboring mountain towns for weather. Several nights have been quite cool, requiring an extra amount of covering. At the A. M. E. Church last Monday night, before a large and appreciative audience, the beautiful installation services of the Masonic fraternity were read, with Rev. T. Y. Moore as celebrant.

Hope Missionary Baptist Church has had one of the greatest treats presented to it in its history. Prof. W. G. Hynes and Mrs. Emma G.

The exhibiting of choice and living scenes by Prof. Hynes brings about in the minds of people, moral, religious and financial attributes which should be the leading thought of every Negro citizen in our country. Were there more such men upon the stage, building and molding character, we would soon have a prosperous and useful set of young men and women to help lead our people to the top line of citizenship. Mrs. Hynes who comes from where the earth and sky meet, in the eastern division of our Volunteer State, is full of the material which builds up home, country, and nation. She presents to the exhibition all the necessary attributes of womanhood. The pen is one of her delights in showing her great talent in writing. Also her work of industry is a feature to show our people how to be useful in this life by having a trained mind and hand.

(Continued from Page 1.) hasten their reports in order that the work of the assembly might be completed Thursday afternoon so nothing would be in the way of the installation of the Grand Officers. Thursday afternoon the assembly had as a visitor Mr. D. A. Hart, manager of the Nashville Globe. Mr. Hart was asked to say a few words. He spoke of the work being done by the Benevolent Orders throughout the state. He said he considered the Benevolent Order the best of any he knew of and urged the delegates to continue their good work in the interest of humanity. He said because of its simplicity the Benevolent Fraternity ought to outnumber all others. Thursday night was given over principally to Rev Preston Taylor, who was scheduled to deliver an address. Rev. Taylor made a powerful address. He reviewed the achievements of the societies and spoke many encouraging words to the delegates. He assured them that they were protected against al opposition by the charter granted them by the state of Tennessee. Dr. Harding, of Murfreesboro, also made an interesting talk. The installation of officers. Prof Davis Mr. Wm. Copeland and ex-President Hill conducted the installation services, which were very impressive At the conclusion of which the meeting adjourned to meet in Humboldt or Nashville in 1909. RECEIVER REPORTS ON INTER- STATE RATES. At the request of the Tennessee Railroad Commission, a large number of the railroads in this state have sent to the commission reports showing their interstate freight rates, the commission having started an investigation to ascertain whether or not any such rates have been increased. The reports show that no important, if any, increases have been made by the roads from which the reports were received in their interstate freight rates, but the commission will continue to prosecute its investigations, and should it be ascertained by the commission that any very considerable increases have been made, the matter will be taken to the Interstate Commerce Commission. No complaints have been received by the commission in regard to any increases which have been recently made in interstate freight rates. Chairman A. B. Enloe and Commissioner Avent left last night for Jackson to confer with officials of railroads which operate in West Tennessee, a number of complaints having been received in regard to rates on cotton from that section of the state. It is hoped to secure a readjustment of rates in West Tennessee which will prove satisfactory to the shippers. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The memorial services of Arthur Campbell Kelly, the last member of one of the most remarkable families in the state, will be held on the third Sunday in August at 11 o'clock in the Rutland Church, near Beckwith, Wilson county, and will be conducted by Rev. D. C. Kelly, assisted by the pastor of the church, Rev. Gilbert Hill. The founder of the family that the deceased was a member of was born at Campbell's station, near Knoxville, and its members have gone to China, Cuba, the West Indies and the Philippines as missionaries, sailors or soldiers. THE AGE OF THE SPECIALIST. This is the age of the Specialist. Prosperous people provide for the Specialist. The man who does "This one thing." "The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker"—man who is jack of all trades has not entirely disappeared, but is receding. Friends persuade and induce the acceptance of unsatisfactory service sometimes, but it is not enduring. The advantage is only temporary gain to the inducer, but the "induced" never forgets the makeshift service nor forgives the apparent friend who forced the acceptance of the unsatisfactory. The general practitioner does not attempt major surgery; but calls in the specialist. Once upon a time men treated the skin, the eye, the throat, pulled the tooth, and gave the pill box to the various patients, but all that has changed. The Specialist has come in. The undertaker once made the coffin, preached the funeral, dug the grave, drove the horses and helped the family to mourn; then he began the trade of embalming. Embalming became a profession; men left off the making of coffins, applied themselves to the science until it became a fine art and then a profession. Colleges were established, Sanitary Science became prominent, Antiseptic Chemistry was brought into place and the Specialist was the result. To truly preserve the body of our sacred dead, at one time, would answer; but to-day particular people want that life-like appearance. They want a clear, honest representation of the loved ones. They are not content with a counterfeit; with the mere image, often in ebony, of their loved ones. They want death robbed of the terribly distorted features as well as destruction of odor. They want the clear skin, not blackened, not putty-like nor spotted, but as in life, so in death. Some say, "It cannot be done," others say, "It can be done." They have seen it; they see it; they again see it, and it is a well known fact that the specialist has come and is doing the artistic work so long desired by the people. During these hot summer days the people have seen the work of Mr. A. N. Johnson, who is clearly a Specialist. The Globe man has gone to several of his funerals and there was beauty, taste, elegance, life-like appearance so that people commented readily upon the artistic skill he employs in embalming. He makes a study of the cause of disease and treats the case accordingly. He embalms, studies embalming, keeps up with every new and advanced idea and thought in embalming. Here is that particular case needing particular treatment peculiar to itself, a case needing the attention of an artist. When Mr. Johnson is called in there is no doubt of the result. In addition to his skill he employs the best material known as to the germfecidal, antiseptic, preservative and cosmetic effects. "They look like wax;" "their color is natural;" "they are only asleep;" "they look better than when they were living," are the various expressions heard when the people view the remains where Mr. Johnson has been called to embalm. Visitors to the city express highest commendation of Mr. Johnson's mode of business and service. There are no regrets, no mistakes, no bad thoughts, no bad feelings among friends when Mr. Johnson serves. He has not the extended acquaintance, lie has not the active and busy pullers who come in at such a time of grief to take affairs in hand for him. He has only the ability to serve; the experience, the skill, the paraphernalia, the equipment to give the most complete and perfect service in satisfaction. With these he is meeting with satisfactory and increasing support, and his friends are increasing because of these qualities of merit. * Mr. Woodie C.

Because of the demands of the thoughtful Negroes of Nashville with regards the Negroes attitude in this present National political campaign of 1908, it was thought that a fair, intelligent, and impartial discussion by able and well prepared men would not only be interesting but instructing. Our white friends are having have had and will have such a reasonable and enlightened opportunity. Such an opportunity will be afforded the colored citizens of Nashville on August 31st at Night at St. John A. M. E. Church. The question to be discussed: Should the Negro support W. J. Bryan, the Democratic Nominee or W. H. Taft, the Republican Nominee, for the presidency? The Hon. R. L. Mayfield will speak for the Democrats, the Hon A. N. Johnson will speak for the Republicans. Look out for next week. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE FRIDAY. AUGUST 14. 1908. SPORT. DORANTE, RIDDEN BY J. LEE, WINS RICH TRAVERS STAKES. Saratoga, N. Y., August 11.—On a very heavy track Dorante, carrying top weight, 116 pounds, won the historic Travers Stake, worth $5,592 to the winner, at Saratoga to-day. Dorante, who has improved wonderfully since coming here, ran the best race he has shown this year, and J. Lee put up a perfect ride on the Forsythe colt. King James was second, with Beaucoup third. The time, 2:09 3-5 for 11-4 miles, was good, considering the track conditions. Sir John Johnson jumped away into a two-lenghts' lead, followed by King James and Beaucoup, with Dorante bringing up the rear. Sir John Johnson continued to show the way to the upper turn, where Schilling sent King James into the lead, but almost immediately Lee began to send Dorante up on the outside. At the final furlong pole he was on even terms with King James, and in the drive began to draw away to win by three-quarters of a length. King James was ten lengths before Beaucoup. Summary: Fourth Race—The Travers; mile and a quarter: Dorante, 116 (Lee) .....6 to 1 King James, 111 (Shilling) .....2 to 1 Beaucoup, 110 (Notter) .....9 to 5 Time, 2:09 3-5. Bar None and Sir John Johnson ran. JOHN RHINES GONE TO WASH- INGTON. Mr. John Rhines left the city on Tuesday evening. His stay here was made very sad on account of the death of his mother. His friends know he will never grow so old as to forget Nashville or its people. Mr. Rhines goes back to Washington, D.C., where he is conducting a successful undertaking business and where he has a host of friends that will extend their sympathies for him in his bereavement. His father, Attorney J. T. Rhines, will remain here for the present and continue his law practice. Young Mr. Rhines is a delegate to the Negro Business League from the city of Washington, and will meet the Tennessee delegates in Baltimore. H. T. G. M. CLUB. Miss Alberta K. Davis entertained the H. T. G. M. Club Saturday, August 8. Progressive whist was played, the first prize being won by Miss John Thompson and the booby prize by Miss Emma Owens. At the beginning of the game partners were chosen by each young lady selecting a flower. There were only four flowers of a kind, and the tables were named for the different kinds of flowers. A delicate menu was served at the close of the game. Mrs. Myrtle Harris Moores of Macon, Ga., Mrs. Mason of Knoxville, and Miss Addie Streeter were the guests. The next meeting will be with Miss Minnie Hunter, of Hynes street. THE WEEK-END PIT CLUB. The Week-End Pit Club gave an outing Friday night, August 7, about five miles on the Murfreesboro road, near Glencliff. Lunch and ices were served and the party returned to the city at a very late hour. Those who participated are as follows: Chas. Powell, Miss Ella B. Moore, W. H. Hollins, Miss Lela Shields, Felix Matthews, Miss Annette Martin, Simon Smith, Miss Georgia Moore, H. Clendening, Miss Etta McGavock, Geo. Rhodes, Mr. Chas. T. Gee, Jno. Maddox, Mrs. Minerva Maddox, Jacob Anderson and Mrs. Mary Anderson. A DIVERSION. Miss Carrie Goodman entertained quite a number of her friends at her home on Lea avenue. The parlor was elegantly decorated. Those to enjoy Miss Goodman's hospitality were Misses Belle Brown, Mattie Weatherford, Bettie Hollins, Carrie Bang and Messrs. J. Edwin Sroham, Frank Weatherford, Sylvester Jones, Ezriel Grumuright, Samuel D. Muniar, T. Hunter, J. T. Williams, Dewitt. SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY Little Mamie V. Hughes was highly entertained at the residence of her grandmother, Mrs. Williams, at 1222 Fourth avenue, South, Tuesday evening from five to seven o'clock with a surprise birthday party given by little Misses Jessie Mai Bransford, Daisy M. Freeman, Martha Freeman, Geneva Goodman, Jimmie L. Freeman, Marian E. Bransford, Avel R. Williams, and Master Williams. Mr. A. J. Bennett helped to entertain the little folks, after which refreshments were served. Mrs. Richard Thompson leaves the city to-night for Green Bay, Wis., where she will spend the rest of the summer. Mr. J. Blaine Boyd is back from his vacation. He spent the time with his family at Green Brier, Tenn. Prf C W Carver. Director of Leading Negro Business Firms of Nashville Lending Full Support. All indications are that the "Greater Nashville" edition of the Nashville Globe will surpass any effort ever attempted in this country by a Negro journal, especially when it comes to showing up the achievements, the doings, the holdings, and the real business and professional side of the Negroes of a city. It is to be regretted, however, that some of the business firms in the city are rather slow to see the advantage to be derived from this "Greater Nashville" edition. There are scores of Negroes doing business in this city who are not known outside of their respective communities, and who will never be known because they do not advertise, and they contribute nothing to newspapers that will let the public know that they are struggling to make a showing in the business world. The efforts of the "Greater Nashville" edition of the Globe, as stated time and again by reporters and members of the Globe Publishing Company, is to show up Nashville since the last enactment taking in the surrounding territory and adding to the population, as well as acquiring the name of "Greater Nashville." The management of the Nashville Globe will endeavor to make mention of every business, every profession, every church, and every secret organization in the city, but it must have some assistance in this effort. Business and professional men ought to at least give their cards. Those who have elegant homes ought to contribute a cut of their home. There would be nothing immodest in something of that kind. Let every Negro in Nashville assist the Globe in its "Greater Nashville" edition. Leave your orders at the office of the Globe and get further information by calling at 447 Fourth avenue, North, which is the office of the Globe Publishing Company. FUNERAL OF MISS PORTERFIELD. Services over the remains of Miss Nina Porterfield were held at the Gay Street Christian Church last Friday afternoon. Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., preached the sermon. Quite a large audience was present on the sad occasion. Nina Porterfield was born in Nashville, January 11, 1888, and died August 5, 1908, at 5:45 p. m. Age, 20 years, 8 months and 6 days. From childhood she was kind, friendly and obedient, which won for a host of warm friends, both old and young. She was a school girl, having attended Fisk University until her health compelled her to give up her studies, and was loved by her teachers and schoolmates. She was also a devoted Christian, having joined Gay Street Christian Church under Rev. Mr. Campbell in June, 1906. She has lived a consistent Christian life and was a faithful member of her church. During her illness of five months of continued confinement she was very cheerful and bore her sufferings patiently until the Omnipotent Father called her to her reward. She leaves a father, grandfather, a devoted sister and brother, two aunts and a host of friends. AFTERNOON AFFAIR. Wednesday afternoon, August 5, Miss Willie Giles entertained a number of her young friends at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Giles, of McFerren avenue.

"In the conduct of this campaign I do not expect to invoke the ghosts of bygone things, of battles long ago. My views, fellow-citizens, with the lapse of years, have changed upon many things, on many subjects, and so have many of yours; and it is not what we thought years and years ago, but what we think now and what we mean to do now that will interest the people of to-day. "Our Democratic friends, some of them, have a habit whenever an election comes on, of bringing out from the old cobwebbed, dusty lumber room certain familiar scarecrows. Now, when it became understood here that I would probably receive this honor at your hands, some kindly-disposed person brought out the same old scarecrow against me that was brought out against my friend, Col. Evans, and it was circulated around town that 'Tillman was for the Force Bill.' (Laughter). And many of those who repeated it didn't know what the 'Force Bill' was and don't to this good day. Now, as a matter of fact, I was never in Congress, I never voted for the Force Bill, I never favored it, and I challenge any man to find an utterance or sentence of mine after its passage commending it. It was not wrong in principle, it answered a clear and unquestioned right of the Federal Government to see to it that in the election of members of the National Assembly, the House of Representatives, that there should be a fair election from Maine to Florida; the only unfortunate feature about it was due to the existence of the race problem in the South, and that was the sole ground of my opposition to it. Well, these old scarecrows are brought out from time to time, and they remind me, as they do you, many of you, of when you were a boy on a farm—some of you have farms now; I have. I remember we were accustomed to take a rail, sharpen it and then nail a cross piece on it, then dress it up, drive it up in the garden or corn field or roasting car patch, put an old coat on it and it would frighten the crows off for a week or so, but they would soon get so they would come and roost on it. Well now, I think, after the lapse of some twenty or thirty-five years, our good Democratis fellow-citizens, who are in the same boat with us and have the same interests that we have, have gotten over their scare, most of them of these old scarecrows and are ready to come and roost on them. (Laughter and applause.) It is true that they will frighten a great many ignorant and weak-minded fellow-citizens who will fly like the flock of crows did to the wilds of the Democratic wood, but they are not many." LILAC CLUB. The Lilac Embroidery Club met at the beautiful home of Mrs. Mattie Johnson on Fairview avenue. The house was beautifully dressed in the club colors. After all business was over the ladies worked one hour with their needle work, some of which will be on exhibit at the State Fair. At 5 o'clock the ladies were served a three-course menu in the dining-room. The following were in attendance: Mesdames P. A. Washington, J. L. Watkins, Mattie Johnson, Lawrence Moore, John Jennings, Sidney Bonds, Wm. Rucker, J. W. Lee, Ray Marchel Williams, John Barnes, Alonzo Whittaker, P. A. Sims, John Battle, Richard Black. The club guests were Mesdames Albert Douglass and Peaks. Mesdames Washington and Watkins presided at the piano. The club will meet with Mrs. P. A. Washington Monday evening at three o'clock, at 46 Roberson street. N.,C. & St.L.F. TICKET OFFICES UNION STATION, BROADWAY CITY OFFICE In Maxwell House, Corner Church Street and 4th Ave., North.
