THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. 111. REIGN OF TERROR IN SPRINGFIELD Illinois Capital in Hands of a Raving Mob. INNOCENT NEGROES LYNGHED AND SHOT TO DEATH. AW AND ORDER THROWN TO THE WINDS — WOMEN AND CHILDREN, FLEE FROM THE TORCH OF DRUNKEN, BLOOD-THIRSTY THUGS — HOMES OF DEFENSELESS PEOPLE BURNED —MEN WITH THEIR FAMILIES FLEE TO THE CORNFIELDS FOR SAFETY — ORDER PARTIALLY RESTORED — BUSINESS MEN DETERMINED THAT DISTURBANCES BE STOPPED—UNCERTAIN AS TO ASSAULT. Since the fifteenth of this month Springfield, Ill., has been in a state of terror. A bloodthirsty mob has held sway in the city and human life and property has been estimated as worthless. The daily despatches paint weird pictures of the situation. The clashes between the races occur periodically about election time, but usually in the South. On the 15th the following bulletins were issued and every day since a new story has been told all of which are enough to make those most hardened to crime and incendiarism tremble as they read the daily occurrences. "Springfield, Ill., Aug. 15.—(Bulletin.)—Firing of Negro quarters in the land lands began at 12:30 o'clock this morning, and at 1 o'clock a score of shacks are in flames on Tenth and Mason streets and Shuck's big lumber yards nearby are in danger. The fires are located in a safe distance from the business property. The fire department is on the scene, but has been derailed not to work. The property of life people will be saved. The mob specifically armed with torches and is thorough drunk. "Two lives have been lost in the riot us far, and more may be sacrificed fore morning. Louis Johnson, seventeen years old, was found dead in the basement of Loper's restaurant, Thomas Scott, an old man, was shot the back as he stood at Seventh and Washington streets. He was an innont bystander." Hon No LO Springfield, Ill., August 15, 1:40 a. (Bulletin.)—The entire east side burning with flames of homes, lumberyards and industries. The flames beyond the bounds intended for them by the rioters, and the fire department is unable to cope with the situation." The business men are determined at order shall be restored. They have been holding meetings constantly finally passed a strong resolution which seemed to have some effect. Dr. Hall read the resolution that had previously drawn by Dr. J. W. who was Health Officer under Altgeld, but when his produc was read, Dr. Scott discovered, a show of anger, that to the ordemand for the protection of liberty and property to every n." somebody had added, "with-ference to color or nationality." Dr. Scott was promptly on his feet demanding to know who had changed the manuscript. He declared that the amended resolutions were inexpedient, that they would be a red flag to such persons as were already inclined to make trouble. This view was to make trouble. U. O. C. white flag vor of the amendment. It is more crushed under a deluge of argument in important, declared the speakers, that law be observed and justice done oil color a legal way than that matters be noothed out without consideration of justice of the methods used. Spring-field wants to start on a new and clean basis, they said, and the foundation must be honest or no reformation can be brought about. Dr. Scott, unconvinced and belligerent, bowed to the "bad judgment" of the majority, and the adoption of the resolution was unanimous amidst such NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1908. sturdy cheering that some people in the street below thought another riot had begun. The preamble and resolutions are as follows: THE RESOLUTIONS "Whereas, A condition has arisen in this city due to causes in themselves calling for the severest condemnation and the strictest punishment, and which has brought danger and shame to every citizen of Springfield; which threatens the material interests of every citizen, whether property owner (Continued on Page 7.) NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Baltimore, Aug. 19.—The ninth annual convention of the National Negro Business Men's League opened to-day in the Sharp-Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, with Booker T. Washington, president of the organization, in the chair. Mayor Mahool made an address of welcome this morning. Drudid Hill avenue, which is occupied almost exclusively by Negroes, has been festooned with strings of electric lights and a court of honor has been erected near Dolphin street. During the sessions lectures will be delivered by members of the League on industrial subjects. The principal event of the evening session of the Negro Business Men's League, which was held in the old Fifth Regiment Armory, was the annual address of President Booker T. Washington, who said in part: "It is well that the National Negro Business League meets in Baltimore, a Southern city, where, with perhaps, two exceptions, is gathered the largest Negro population of any city in the country. In this city for the most part there is a thrifty, prosperous and law-abiding Negro population, and here the most kindly relations exist between the races. Much of this, let me add, is due to the influence of that great citizen and churchman, Cardinal Gibbons, whom every Negro loves and honors. "The Negro Business League stands for courageous optimism, constructive work and friendly relations between all classes and races. "This organization is not only composed of individuals who are optimistic, but of those who possess courage, the only real courage that is worth the name. While we do not overlook wrongs and injustices and obstacles needlessly placed in our pathway, we are more concerned in finding a way to overcome these difficulties than in merely exploiting them. More and more as a race we must believe in ourselves, in our race in our white neighbors in our country. From an industrial and business point of view, the 10,000,000 of my race in America, have an opportunity that is more favorable, in my opinion, than those of a similar number of our race in the world. As strange as it may appear to the uninformed, nevertheless it is true, that the opportunity for industry, for business, increases as one goes farther South, and it is in the far South that business enterprises are most numerous and most successful. "There is no hope for the negro race or any people except in the direction of constructive work. This constructive work must find a place and a need right in the communities where we live. There are golden opportunities for it in the cultivation of the soil, work in the wood, in iron, the home, in the world of trade. "No matter what the exception or the temptation may be in local policies or National politics, let us resolve that nothing shall turn us aside for a minute from getting the essential and fundamental things in life. Political parties and public issues and public men change and disappear, but the fundamentals of industry, thrift and high rugged character remain forever. Without them, all else is vain. With them, nothing can defeat us." BISHOP PARKS AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., of Chicago, Ill., will preach at St. John A. M. F. Church, Sunday night, August 23. Bishop Parks is one of leading men of the country. He was for sixteen years Secretary of Missions for his church, and as a reward for faithful services he was elected by the last General Conference to the bishopric and assigned to the Twelfth Episcopal District which comprises the states of Tennessee and Alabama. Bishop Parks is a forceful speaker and is styled the "Gospel Preacher." He is well known in this city and a crowded house will greet him at St. John Sunday night. EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO APPEALS BEING MADE TO THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL. MR. D. A. HART, MANAGER OF THE GLOBE PUBLISHING COMPANY, MAKES APPEAL FOR TURNER NORMAL—URGES METHODISTS TO GIVE LIBERALLY TO EDUCATION—ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY AND HOWE INSTITUTE BEING LOOKED AFTER BY THE BAPTIST DENOMINATION—NEGROES REALIZE THAT THEY MUST LOOK AFTER THESE INSTITUTIONS — SELF-HELP THE MOTTO. The Negroes of Tennessee are awakening to the needs of the hour as concerns the interests of their denominational schools. Recently several Baptist and African Methodist conventions, conferences and associations held their annual sessions in this city, and at each one of them the delegates seemed to be deeply concerned about the education of the youth. Roger Williams University in Nashville, Turner Normal Institute in Shelbyville, and Howe Institute in Memphis, are three schools that are owned and supported by the Negroes of Tennessee. The institutions are not endowed to a great extent, but the members of the various churches and the friends of education contribute their small mites and keep the schools going. That they are constantly in need goes without saying, and that fact is clearly evidenced by the activity of the people. The citizens of Nashville are familiar with the efforts put forth by a number of ladies here to raise funds for Roger Williams, and now an individual in the person of Mr. D. A. Hart, manager of the Globe Publishing Company, comes out with a direct appeal to the members of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee and the friends of education to join him in an educational rally. The appeal reads as follows: My Deer Christian Friend: As a member of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee, I write this article, hoping that some good, may come therefrom. I wish to call your attention to our Turner Normal Institute at Shelbyville, Tenn. I do not feel that it is necessary to go into details as to when the school was organized, when the facts in the case are, the President, Dr. Jones, needs funds to prosecute the work. Buildings are needed to accommodate the students, and other conveniences necessary to the comfort of the boarding pupils should be supplied. On September the 22nd the president and faculty have planned to have a big opening rally. Would it not be possible to find as many as five hundred loyal African Methodists who would come to this rally and bring $5.00 each for education? If we will go to work in earnest this can be done. It would mean a contribution of $2,500 for education by 500 loyal Tennesseeeans. Will you be one of the number? If you cannot be present you could send President Jones the $5.00. He would appreciate it, while of course he would like to have your presence. But if you cannot come, I would suggest that you send your contribution to Rev. J. A. Jones, Shelbville, Tenn. This is our school, and we must support it. No one else is going to do it. And, my Christian friend, if African Methodism stands for anything, it stands for independence. We have magnificent institutions of learning in other states; why not have the same in Tennessee? The day is now at hand when we will have to take care of our own educational interests. Let us arise and down to Shelbyville on the 22nd of September and put our college on a high plane. I hereby pledge myself to pay to the Trustees of Turner Normal and Industrial Institute at Shelbyville, Tenn., $5.00 on the 22nd day of September, 1908. D. A. HART, Member of St. John A. M. E. Church, Nashville, Tenn. Will you join me in this effort to put our school on a good and sound footing? Your five dollars may be the means of saving some boy or girl. Write me at my home, 1726 Jefferson street, Nashville, Tenn., of what you think of the plan. Send all pledges to Dr. J. A. Jones, Shelbyville, Tenn. Yours for the success of Turner Normal, D. A. HART, BUMBREY---MAYBERRY NUPTIALS. The marriage of Miss Pinkie Mayberry to Mr. Louis D. Bumbrey was the culmination of a pretty love romance of several years standing. The brilliant affair took place Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Moses Mayberry, Hillsboro, Tenn. The arrangements of this beautiful country home were unique and attractive and the decorations were profuse. The house, which is of ante-bellum construction, was decorated throughout with Jackson vines and pink and white carnations, this being the color-scheme idea. In the spacious parlor where the ceremony was performed the mantles and windows were draped with vines, and flowers were banked upon the broad stairway in front of which stood the Rev. Mr. J. C. Fields, who officiated. At 8 o'clock Miss Mary Lou Dubison, of Franklin, began playing "Mendelssohn's Wedding March," to the strains of which the bridal party marched through the large hall. First came little Misses Loutrell Taylor and Mary Ewing holding streamers of pink and white ribbon which made an aisle through which passed the bridesmaid, Miss Corinne Peterson. She was followed by Mr. Bumbrey and his best man, Mr. Samuel L. Carter. Then came the sister of the bride, Miss Gertrude Mayberry, who served as maid of honor. The bride entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. John Mayberry. The ribbon-bearers and bride's maid wore white lingerie dresses with pink ribbon; the maid of honor wore white and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The bride made a pretty picture in white organdy elaborately trimmed in tucks and lace with an empire girdle. Her bouquet was of maiden-hair fern and white roses. She wore a tulle veil caught up with a wreath of orange blossoms. After the ceremony the wedding was celebrated in true Southern style. The guests, which included a party from Nashville, were invited into the dining-room, where a bountiful repast had been prepared. Here a long table, covered with white damask and festooned with Jackson vines, was laden with eatables of all kinds. In one corner a smaller table had been placed, around which the bridal party was seated. A full supper, including ices, was served. After everybody had dined to their heart's content, the guests were escorted to the residence of Mr. John Mayberry, in the immediate neighborhood, where music and games were enjoyed until the "wee sma' hours." At an early morning hour the members of the Nashville party were driven in a tally-ho over the eight miles to Franklin, where they were the guests of Miss Hazel Doyle until 7:40 o'clock, when they returned to Nashville. Those going out were Misses Nellie E. King, Cora Allen, Mary C. Clark, Ruth Pearl McKinney, Jennie P. Dunley, Lady B. Stringer, Georgia L. Hadley, Maggie Mayberry, Corinne Peterson, Messrs. Melvin Hayes, T. Dennis, Samuel L. Carter, Ewing and Robert Dobson, Frank J. Battle, Dennis Irvin, George O. Boyd, Mrs. A. S. Rucker, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Nicholson, Mrs. Fanny Ewing, and Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Fields. The entire party returned to Nashville Wednesday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Bumbrey going to their residence on Jefferson street, where they received their city friends in the evening from 7 to 10 o'clock. Throughout the calling hours acquaintances were offering congratulations and best wishes. Here was also seen the magnificent display of wedding presents which were valuable as well as useful. Many presents came from Mr. Bumbrey's home in Texas and attested the popularity of this gentleman, who has resided in Nashville for several years and holds the responsible position of foreman of the composing rooms at the National Baptist Publishing House. Mrs. Bumbrey is well known here, having beer a teacher in the county schools for some time. They are at home to their friends at 2002 Jefferson street.

Boston, Mass., August 18.—A national conference of presidents of institutions for the education of the Negro—pastors, Sunday-school and church leaders—business and professional men interested in the mental, moral and religious education of the Negro, is now in session at Dyke Rock cottage, Clifton, and will continue three days, by invitation of W.

The purpose of the conference, as stated by Mr. Hartshorn, is: To discover the present mental, moral and religious condition of the Negro; how this condition has been reached; its practical effect upon his daily life; what is needed; how obtained; how applied; the result. To discover if it is practical for the International Sunday-school Association to furnish instructors to universities, colleges, seminaries and secondary schools already established for the education of the Negro, to teach the students practical methods in organizing, conducting and teaching individual Sunday-schools of the Negro churches in the city, the town, the village and the rural district. To discover how the management and faculty of these institutions regard this plan, and what they will do to co-operate to make it successful. Opening this morning with "An acquaintance hour," at 10 o'clock, there was a devotional "preparation service," conducted by Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, LL. D., bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Auburndale, which will be followed by the organization of the conference. Three sessions will be held daily morning, afternoon and evening—to consider real conditions and discover how to meet them. The discussions will go deep into the heart of the general subject. It is planned to have four phases of the problem considered, with four 15-minute presentations of or wage earner: which has cost the taxpayer many thousands of dollars; GEO. W. McKISSACK, Contractor, Builder and Practical Bricklayer He has always been able to please the homefolks. He has contracted for and erected some of the most substantial buildings in the city.

The Franklin County Fair was the cause of a number of people being in town, and, no doubt, it would not have been fair, had not the people spent their money in carriage fares, drinks and gate fares. All in all those in attendance had a good time. The membership of the A. M. F. Church, of which the Rev. T. Y. Moore is pastor, did the handsome thing by raising $125 last Sunday for the express purpose of beautifying the edifice and for the sitting of the annual conference here next October. This church with its small membership is doing its part in the moral and spiritual uplift of this community. The district association of the Missionary Baptist churches is in session at Shelbyville, with a number of messengers from this place in attendance. Rev.

The Workers' Conference held their regular monthly meeting last Monday. A great deal of interest was manifested. Reports from workers were encouraging. A special feature of the meeting was the Parents' Conference, which will be held at the Bethel Baptist Church, Wednesday, August 26, at 8 p. m. The public is cordially invited to be present. Miss Florence Burnett, who has been quite ill, is convalescing rapidly. The Joanna P. Moore Missionary Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on the fourth Monday night of this month. Sister Joanna P. Moore is spending a part of her vacation in Chautauqua, N. Y. HAY RIDE. The most enjoyable hay ride of the season was that of a merry party of young ladies and gentlemen last Wednesday evening. They started from the home of Miss Mary Batts on Eighth street, driving eight miles out on the Granny White pike to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Wilson, where they met Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Mr. John Cheers, Miss Belle Marsh and Mr. Lee Wilson, Jr. During the evening a three-course menu was served. Dancing and games were indulged in, Mr. Gus Hall and Lee Wilson presiding at the piano. Those who participated in the affair were Misses Battie Hingham, Alberta B. Powell, Sallie Duvall, Mary Batts, Enona Whittaker, Richard Ridout, Ella B. Driver Sophronia Brown, Kitty Huffman and Anna Matthews, Messrs. Chas. H. Powell, Sanders Woodard, Arthur Taylor, Robert Sumner, John Brown, Steve McCoy, Frank Douglass, Donnie Stovall, Herbert Thompson, Robert L. Putnam, Joe E. Matthews, Will Davis and Gus Hall, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Caldwell, chaperons. At 2:30 o'clock the party left for the city, where they separated at 5:30 o'clock. INSTALLATION AND BANQUET. On Sunday, August 23, at 2o'clock, Rev. H. M. Burns, who for the past ten months has filled the pulpit of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Eighth ave-North, will be installed. On the following night there will be a banquet in honor of the newly-installed pastor, and Dr. Ellington of the First Baptist Church will be the principal speaker STATE FAIR NEWS. What the Managers of the First Real State Fair Under the Management of Negroes is Doing. Preparations for the coming State Fair are now about complete. There will be exhibits as well as visitors from all parts of the State to witness as well as to assist in the first real effort put forth in this direction. Nashville is to be congratulated upon her selection of the personnel of the Fair Association. The President of the Fair Association is a man known throughout the nation for his business ability—the Hon. J. C. Napier. The very presence of his name insures at once the soundness of the enterprise. A simple glance through the official staff, where you will find such names as R. F. Boyd, Preston Taylor, J. B. Bosley, J. B. Kennedy, J. S. Martin, Wm. Haynes, E. B. Jeferson, W. T. Hightower, J. W. Bostic., etc., is a guarantee to all who know these men that great strength is behind this movement. The arrangements for the fair have been made in a most thorough and systematic manner, there being about fifteen departments under competent heads. Special pains have been taken to arrange striking features for the fair and each day will witness the carrying out of a programme highly interesting in every way. The fair opens on Tuesday, September 15, 1908, and continues through the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. Saturday will be the closing day. A splendidly arranged booklet, containing some 80-odd pages, has been issued, covering in a very thorough manner the rules and regulations to obtain during the fair. There is a woman's department to the fair under the presidency of Mrs. Preston Taylor, who has as co-workers such well-known ladies as Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mrs. P. R. Burrus, Mrs. A. B. Carter, Mrs. J. B. Bosley, Miss O. J. Lischey. The place chosen for the holding of the fair is ideal, under the circumstances. It is an amusement park operated by the great, hustling Rev. Preston Taylor, who has spent thousands of dollars making it the best equipped institution of its kind owned and operated by our people. The leaders have thus far in every way made a successful fair possible and it is now up to the people to make an adequate response. School teachers, ministers, editors, lodge leaders and all who have the ear of the public should begin to talk "Fair, fair, fair," to the people. People everywhere should be encouraged to send in exhibits of every character, live stock agriculture, mechanical, artistic, etc. etc. etc. There will be space for everything and a good showing should be made in every line. It would be a good idea for the people to form state fair clubs in the various cities and communities to talk fair and seek to arouse an interest that will guarantee a creditable showing. HO, HO, HO!

THE SPRINGFIELD RIOT, BLOODY DEED DREADFUL. is creating just a little more sensation than the great Johnson and Mayfield Debate at St. John A. M. E. Church, corner Eighth avenue, North, and Cedar street, August 31, 1908. In the first place each gentleman is well known, well educated and by practical experience well able to take care of himself. In the second place, the subject is a live, interesting and most important one to every American Negro, especially since the North as well as the South has gone to Lynching the Negro. Here is the subject: "Should the Negro Support W. H. Taft, the Republican Nominee, or W. J. Bryan, the Democratic Nominee for the Presidency?" Look out for a red-hot one next week.* KENNEDY—LEIGH. The marriage ceremony of Miss Bessie Irene Leigh to Mr. Edward Danol Kennedy took place at the home of Mrs. A. E. Garland, 912 Main street, Wednesday morning, August 19, at 6 o'clock. The newly-married couple left immediately for St. Louis on their bridal trip, and will spend a week with relatives and friends. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white, trimmed in real Irish point lace and carried a white prayer book. The groom was dressed in conventional style. The ceremony was performed by Rev. William Flagg. Only the members of the family and immediate friends were present. A dainty wedding breakfast was served. On their return a reception will be given at the home of Mrs. A. E. Garland.

In a letter dated August 3, 1908, from Kingston, Jamaica, Rev. G. E. Stewart, who spent about three weeks in Nashville this year, notifies friends of his safe arrival in Jamaica. It will be remembered that Rev. Mr. Stewart was in Nashville and the United States in the interest of Jamaica Baptists. Upon his return he was honored with the presidency of their religious organization known as the National Baptist Convention of Jamaica. The churches in Nashville will be delighted to learn of his safe arrival and his cordial reception by his countrymen. He contemplates returning to the United States for the National Baptist Convention which meets in Lexington, Ky., September 16-21. ON A VACATION. Dr. W. B. Denny and daughter, Johnnie Marie, are now in Knoxville, having visited several little surrounding towns. Many balls, parties, boatrides and fishing parties have been given in honor of Miss Denny. Dr. Denny spent Sunday in Maryville. On Thursday morning, August 20, they left Knoxville in company with J. A. Denny and Eveline Henry, brother and mother of Dr. W. B. Denny, for North Carolina, and will met some of the brothers of Dr. Denny whom he has not seen for thirty years. Quite a pleasant time is anticipated. After spending a week or ten days in North Carolina and Virginia, Washington, D. C., will be visited for four or five days. Dr. Denny will be in Nashville some time during the first week of September. A. JOLLY CROWD. A JOLLY CROWD. Mrs. C. E.

TO CELERRATE CENTENNIAL. A celebration that will attract the attention of Masons throughout America is that of the Centennial of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge F. & A. M., of Massachusetts, at Boston, September 10th to 13th. The Masons of that State are making great preparations for the occasion and expect to make the days of the celebration memorable for their visiting brothers.

In the early part of March, 1906, a mob of whites in Springfield, O., frenzied with race hatred, set fire to that portion of the city occupied by Negroes. Several victims, wholly innocent, laid down their lives to appease the appetite for gore of the semi-savages composing the mob. The following month, April, Springfield, Mo. was the scene of the lynching and burning of three men, two of whom were afterwards proven to be innocent of the crime of which they were charged. Now come Springfield, Mo., was the scene of the time the home of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, with a record of pure brutalism which surpasses that of any other city bearing a like name, and is only equalled in this country by the Atlanta massacre. For over a week troops have been stationed in the city to preserve order. The whites have sought to vent their feelings upon every Negro in the city because it is alleged that one of the race assaulted a white woman. The Negroes, where provided with weapons, followed the first law of nature and of a consequence seven persons are dead or possibly a hundred are seriously wounded. The authorities of Springfield, acting in conjunction with the state officers, have begun an investigation of the rioting with a purpose in view of punishing the ring leaders. Though the investigation seems to be pushed with vigor it is hardly possible that anyone will be convicted for the murders of which the members of the lynching parties were guilty. Public sentiment is for the prisoners. It is probable that the city of Springfield will pay dearly for its debauch as an anti-lynch law, applying to the state of Illinois, allows the relatives of any one lynched in that state to collect $5,000 damages from the county in which the lynching occurred. Reduced to its final analysis, the Springfield riots can be attributed only to economic causes—the competition of the Negro laborer with the white laborer. This competition has brought such hatred in the hearts of the white laboring class, who were frequently displaced by Negro help that it only needed the spark of an "unmentionable crime" to inflame the whole band of them to deeds of outlawry. There are contributing causes, of course, and one of these was the presence of dives in the city, some run by lon THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1908. the whites and some by the colored, which were allowed unbridled liberties by the police on account of the political influence of the owners. The Negro newspaper published in the city has complained of these dives but it seems no attention was paid to its complaint. The better class of Negroes wanted to break up these dives, but the "better class" of whites, not reading the colored papers, doubtless knew nothing of the pernicious effect of these "hullabaloos," as they are sometimes called in Nashville. Springfield's experience should be a lesson to other cities of the country. Hatreds cannot be legislated out of the bosom of man, but these dives, these breeders of crime, with their "fighting booze" and "can beer" served to men and women alike in a side room can be removed. The whites of the South call upon the "better class" of Negroes to help curb the criminal element, yet they, controlling all the forces of government, refuse to break up the sources of the crimes. Here in Nashville some streets are unsafe for a law-abiding citizen on Saturday night on account of these dives, more frequently than otherwise run by white men with political pull, who sell their vile liquors to the workingmen and low women of our race. Let Nashville take the lesson of Springfield to heart and close up these back rooms in saloons and also keep all women out of saloons. THE GOVERNORSHIP. With two candidates before the people for the office of Governor, the republicans practically assure the election of the incumbent and democratic nominee, the Hon. M. R. Patterson. But if the "home rulers" and the "I wont hear you for one minute" crowd should effect a compromise and only one candidate be allowed to go before the people on the state-wide prohibition platform adopted by both factions of the republicans, there will be a race besides which the Carmack-Patterson primary contest would pale into insignificance. The democrats are divided, badly divided on the prohibition question. The republican candidates are native Tennesseeans, each standing high in the community where he resides. The democrats know that these men are not in favor of "Negro domination" and many of the "unterrified" will vote the republican ticket this year for the first time in their lives. The disaffection of democrats is liable to make Tennessee a doubtful state this year. With Tennessee doubtful, it is more than probable that the Negro voter would hold the balance of power. The Negro voters, like the white democrats, are split. Mr. Tillman is persona non grata with a large percentage of those who have followed his political career. Others find fault with the "home rulers" for sins of omission and commission while a larger number of the Negro voters vow that they will vote for Gov. Patterson on account of the record he has made while in office. The contest will be interesting if for no other reason than that it will be the first time the Negroes in any considerable quantity have supported a democrat for Governor. EMANCIPATION DAY. We clip the following from one of our exchanges. It is perhaps needless to say the paper the article is clipped from is published in the North. "On the 22d day of September President Lincoln promulgated his proclamation freeing the slaves. Since that time the Negroes, in different sections of the country, have celebrated that day. But should they? "Why should the race each year advertise the fact that its progenitors were slaves? Why should we impose upon the rising generation the embarrassment of appearing before the world as sons and daughters of slaves? There is no particular honor, even though the slavery was enforced, in recalling the fact that we, or our progenitors, were slaves. And then again we are confronted with the fact that we, ourselves, did not achieve our own freedom. It is true that we participated in the war of the rebellion—that is, our fathers did, and right valiantly, too. We offered our lives, and we shed our blood, but that war was not fought to free the slaves, but to prevent disunion of this government." With all the efforts to attribute the cause of the Civil War to "State Rights," "the preservation of the Union," and like issues, it remains as a fact that slavery was the real cause of the Civil War and whether the Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure or not the promulgation of this famous document began a new epoch in the history of our race in America. And why should we not celebrate the day on which the Emancipation Proclamation was issued? Other races and nations are not ashamed of the fact that their ancestors were serfs or slaves. Why should we be? The Hebrew has made the celebration of the deliverance of his race from a bondage more galling than that endured by the Negro in slavery, a part of the Jewish religion. Previous to the signing of Magna Charta the English people were but little better than serfs. Are the English ashamed of Magna Charta or the conditions that existed previous to the forcing of the king to sign that great document? Instead of trying to forget that our parents were slaves and that the Emancipation Proclamation brought to them freedom we should hold September 22 as the one great day to be celebrated wherever there is an American Negro. Let us stop trying to get away from good things that belong distinctively to the race and celebrate the dates that mean something directly to us. In other words, let us stop trying to get away from our race. In segregating the saloon area the City Fathers were particular to leave within the districts, saloons drawing their patronage mainly from Negroes. Why not move the lines to Seventh avenue, North, so as to avoid the church district? Mr. Bryan is being made glad, so it is said, by the reports coming to him pledging the vote of the Negro voter in the doubtful states. The "Peerless One" puts on his famous smile when he hears these reports but refuses to say anything for publication. The Negro question seems to be the only thing that Bryan will not discuss. He ought to speak out if he wants the Negro vote. He has made a bid for the labor vote, a bid for the tariff reformers and other voters why not make a direct bid for the Negro votes? Is he afraid the South will go republican if he directly appeals for our votes? If the Springfield sheriff had possessed the backbone of the Pensacola, Fla. officer who met a mob a few weeks ago with hot lead, the rioting would have ended before he could have made a call for reinforcement. Mr. Roosevelt has relieved Mr. Taft of all the responsibility for the famous Brownsville order of dismissal. Now, who will come forward and accept the responsibility for those lengthy judicial reports emanating from the War Department bearing the signature "W. H. Taft," that sought to uphold the President's contentions? Likewise who will be the scapegoat for some of the speeches delivered by Mr. Taft in the South and, will Hitchcock accept all the responsibility for the seating of so many illy-white-office-holder delegates from the South, where justice plainly showed the other faction to be entitled to the seats? Mr. Chaffin, the water wagon" candidate for President, seems to be able to get his name in the papers by having narrow escapes from death. He saved a Negro's life in the Springfield riots and was hit on the side of his head with a brick for his heroic deed. A candidate on the "water wagon" ticket should be a strenuous man. The Hon. G., N. Tillman wants to forget the past in his race for the Governor's chair. If the Negro voters could but forget his past many of them would be "regular" this year who have never voted the democratic ticket. Tennessee ought to have a state institution of learning for Negroes like all the other states in the South, Oklahoma, the latest Southern state, has made generous provisions for the education of the Negro youth, and while the next session of the Tennessee Leg- ALL WE ASK IS TO GIVE US A TRIAL!

This school, like the schools receiving the support of the states elsewhere in the South, with the help of that portion of the Morrill Fund now going to the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, would soon be in a position to be of great service to the youth of the state and with an Agricultural Department of inestimable value to those who live on the farm. If Mayor Brown would but take a stroll through the streets forming the line of the segregated districts late Saturday afternoon, when all the working men have been paid off and take a peep into the back rooms of some of the saloons, we doubt not but that he would awake the police to their duty. These workingmen should be protected from the association of low women and "pimps," who loaf all the week and society should be protected from the habitues of these dives when they are full of "can beer" and "nickel shooters." The way to stop it is to close these back rooms and keep the women out of the saloons. The Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore (Md.), is out in a twelve-page issue in commemoration of the sixteenth anniversary of the paper. Mr. Murphy has in the Afro-American Ledger one of the best pieces of newspaper property in the country, and the fact that his paper has lived sixteen years proves its worth. The special edition which contains many articles of interest is a creditable production. COMMUNICATIONS. The Springfield Situation. Springfield, Ill., once the home of Abraham Lincoln, the preserver of the Union and author of the Emancipation Proclamation, was for three days of last week almost utterly helpless in the hands of murderers and incendiaries, who with firearms and firebrands left death and destruction in their wake. They murdered and pillaged and burned. Those were three awful days for innocent men and women of the Negro race, who in nowise were connected or responsible for the crime of one man who is alleged to have been a Negro, but whose identity, even by the victim, is not definite. She says that she cannot identify the man under arrest with absolute certainty as being her assailant, as conditions at the time made positive identification impossible, so run the reports as printed in the newspapers. The following is from the Associated Press: "Chicago, August 17.—A dispatch to the Tribune in Bloomington, Ill., says: Mrs. Earl Hallam, victim of the attack in Springfield, which started the race war is in doubt about the identity of her assailant. In an interview she declared that she was uncertain whether Richardson, who is now a prisoner in Bloomington, is the guilty man. "She says, however, that she is almost certain that he is the man and his general features support her belief, but in the darkness which prevailed she could not discern the Negro's features sufficiently to positively identify him. She will say nothing more than that he looks something like the man." J. E. EDWARDS, Mgr.

ADMISSION, 10 CENTS. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1908, Of trial; Wiek Mis Sulit’ or innocence May be established by legal process in a court of law having proper jurisdic- tion. It is not certain that the pris- oner under arrest is the actual crim- ipal who committed the assault, as is seen from what the victim says, There is no honest or law-abiding citizen who would countenance for a _ ™Moment any delay or dallying by legal technicalities with the meting out of the severest punishment to the wretch who violates the chastity’ of woman- hood, colored or white. There can“be no doubt that the Negro found guilty of such a crime will receive commen- surate punishment, because all the juries and courts are in the hands of white men. Who could doubt that 2 Negro found guilty of assault upon a white woman could escape the death penalty? No imagination of any sane man could stretch itself to such a be- lief. No court nor jury, composed wholly of intelligent and property- holding colored vitizens—and they can be found in any community in the country—would have the least mercy on the villain, white or colored, found guilty of the crime of crimes. White men who assault colored women es- cape the death penalty through the ver- dicts of white juries, but none guilty of the offence would receive any mercy by a verdict of a Negro jury. The laws of every state are all-suf- ficent to deal with every form or de- re of crime committed by Negroes ithout resorting to any such atroci- ties as the murderers and thugs and thieves, composing the rabble mobs of Springfield, have been guilty of. Did those-vampires that sucked the blood of innocent and helpless people repre- sent the dominant spirit of Spring: field's civilization? One speaker at a meeting held to discuss the situation said that nine out of every ten men in the city were law-abiding citizens. If that were true, then what were the nine men doing while the one thug, thief and murderer was burning prop: erty, looting stores and murdering in- nocent people? There was somethine basically wrong with the nine that they did not at once throttle the law lessness of the one irresponsible vil Jain ere his barbarous acts blackene¢ the names of their common city anc state. Had the nine courageously per formed their duty the tenth wretct could not have terrorized for dave wit’ destruction and death. Those hood lums and ruffians made use of the or easion arising from the assault to m1: der occasionally to keep un a show but deeper down was the desire to lont pillage, plunder, and steal, all of whic! was done to an enormous extent, a shown by the amount found by polics men in citizen clothes in the dens an abiding places of the outraged (? murderers and brought to police hea¢ quarters. Let it be repeated with emphasi that the “outraged gentlemen” who « moralized Springfield used the crime o the unfortunate woman as a pretext t clothe their backs, shoe their feet an fill their gavnt and empty stomach: ‘The disguised officers recovered clothe cloth, shoes, meat, lard, sugar, coffe meal, flour, and a promiscuous assor ment of every kind of merchandise an apparel’ from the living places of th members composing the mobs. Thos “outraged gentlemen” were bent 0 making the most of the situation They had an eye to business, and wet “heeling” themselves against the wo of want and the cold blasts of the con ing winter while the reign of terrc was on, They had no thought of tt victim. The suspect was safe in th Bloomington jail and the rascals kne it. They knew that there was no hoy on earth to which he might clin Some Negro had to die for the crin and as he was the “bird in hand” tt nenalty would soon fall on him. Bi the opportunity was too great for tl rabble to let go by without taking a vantage to lay up a supply of food at clothes. It took forty-two hundred soldiers | the National Guards to stop the pred tory thieving. What had the lootir of stores and jewelry shops to do wil the crime of the suspect? The m spirit is beginning to show the trer it will eventually take, In the futu when it gets hungry and ragged, it w black itself and make an oecasion sunnly its wants, This will be dor beyond the Mason and Dixon lin where the spirit of the immortal Li coin keeps vigil. The colored men who shirk the ored citizens of every community have no sympathy whatever with the crim- inal elements of ‘the race. Were re- putable men of the race made officers, they would serve the interest of their communities in a large measure by preventing crime and running to earth criminals. The Springfield reign of terror is the indicant finger which points with relentless certainty to the coming on of a time when this form of anarchism and thievery will make America, the now lenient and proud, howl, as the French Revolution did France. i JADECEE. Editor Nashville Globe: she communication in your iast is sue, signed “Lebestri,” under the cap- tion of “The dead should be buried at the proper time,” is full worthy of at- tention and discussion. The burial of the dead in the time mentioned, “three or four days,” as “Labestri” says, is not good reasoning. The time to bury our dead is when we are fully ready to bury them and not by any measured portion of duration. The serious ques- tion is, not how long we keep our sa- cred dead from the time of death to final burial, but how well we have our dead prepared for burial. Unless the body is properly em- balmed the burial in all cases should be speedy; for when we discover odor or purging, it is an unfailing signal that the very atmosphere is permeated with germ life which we are exposing our system to, But if the body is properly prepared by skilled and pro- fessional men, using approved chemical disinfectants, it is then the preroga- tive of the family to bury their dead at any distant time they see fit. It has been circulated hereabouts that the limit a body can be kept after death is from one to two days and cei- tainly never longer than four days. This is altogether erroneous. The skilled artist who knows the science of embalming and has given exhaus- tive study to sanitary science—to speak plainly, the man who is on to his job—can keep a body indefinitely in a perfectly sanitary condition, free from any danger to the living. Of course this cannot be done by the uneducated man who has learned Jonly the “modus operandi” of inject- || ing fluid into an artery and letting the -|result be as it may; but the man who {is able to make a post diagnosis of the _|ease—who knows what diseases are .|contagious, those which are infectious -}and those which are both contagious -|and infectious, their exciting causes, .|modes of entrance. sources of infec- ,|tion, methods of dissemination and 1/most approved method of preventing s|their dissemination—can make a body -| perfectly safe for an indefinite time i/and no danger whatever to the living. )| “Labestri” particularly speaks of ty- -|phoid fever, which is an infectious bnt not contagious disease. You can s|not contract typhoid by being near a .|live or dead body of typhoid. The in: n|fection comes from the alvine dis: »| charge of the affected; while the ve J} hicle of conveyance is mostly water, ;.Janite often mill. and in many cases ;,;cominon house flies, who carry _ the »,| bacilli from exereta to food we have -|exnosed to this minute but dangerous a|scavenger, It is dangerous to keey e| anybody until there is perceptible odor e]or purging, and most certainly a boy n|which died of typhoid or any othe 1.| communicable disease; but if a compe e|tent person is given the case in han¢ if|in sufficient time before putrefactior 1-|has the mastery, he will make it per | fectly aseptic and harmless to the liv e| ing. e| Embalming is the arrest of decom w| position, destruction of nutrefaction | and a complete change of the chemica x.| condition of the body without the de e|struction of the lifelikeness of th: | body. There are bodies so far gon it|}into decomposition that no knowr o| chemicals can restore them. Then i 1-| disinfection only possible. Of cours’ d|there is poor work done. Most o which is hastily done by people whi Mf} have no knowledge of anatomy, chem a-| istry or the functions of the viscera 0 g|the body. This is seen when the fac h|turns black or spotted, when odo b|comes after the embalmer has gon’ | when he has to return day after d9 ‘ejand patch up his work. This is thi Ii} case of the man who treats all caso fojalitre. Men, as we have seen, wh | have no different treatment for typhei e,| fever, a disease confined to the mos n-| enteries and intestines, than to a 07s of apoplexy—such a man_ usuall: ir| makes a case of typhoid more dav le} gerous than if it had been let alone. id It is not how long we keep our dea n-| from burial; but how competent sho! a|the man be who prepares our dead fo e | burial, di We are glad that “Labestri” ha e| started the discussion, because ther wr} are some reformations needed inciden |d| to funerals, and we should be glad t le} see the really intelligent people com y}out under their real names, showin: \e| their identity in discussing so intelli | gently a subject needing discussio e}among our people. ye} The ancient custom of displaying th nidead at church is worthy of disens T = ~ COMMUNION SETS.

The free attractions will be beaded by Greene’s Spiral Tower Globe Act, which is the largest outdoor act in ex- istence. Then there will be The Fishers in a novelty Contortion Act. Both these acts are high class fea- tures and will be appreciated, no doubt, by the thousands that will see them. The various uniform ranks of the different orders will each have a night at the grounds and have been invited to give a short drill. Then there will be a cake walk on Thurs: day night. Besides the various events mentioned above there will be booths of all kinds offering the usual refreshments. Various shows, a penny arcade, a Ferris wheel, and one of the latest up-to-date merry-go-rounds will be on the grounds to entertain the visitors. Of all the shows and attractions there will be nothing but what any child or lady may visit with the assurance that nothing will be seen, said or done that is contrary to good morals. The Pythians deserve credit for making this effort at the great cost it has been to them, to provide a week's enter. tainment for our people. The ladies of the order deserve special mention for their efforts to promote publicity by a Queen contest and the manner in which they have worked to assist in making the show a success, Turn out for one night at least, enjoy your. self and feel that it is a small amount spent in a good cause, If this week is a suecess—and it will be—the order will hold an an: nual event of this character .

Knoxville, Tenn., August 18.—The situation regarding the race disturbances in the Jellico mining district was relieved somewhat Tuesday by the arrest of five leaders of the band of white miners and mountaineers by Sheriff Hughes, of Clalborne County. However, early in the morning the armed band swooped down on Campbell's mining camp near Anthras and drove about fifty Negroes out of their homes, compelling them to flee for protection. Some went half clad and all left their belongings. Notice was served on Negroes at various surrounding mines to get out within three days or they would be killed, and many other Negroes and some whites are scurrying to the towns. Threats were even heard of against the Negroes in Lafollette and Jellico, but it is not thought that the band will dare to proceed against these places. Negro miners are fast supplanting the whites. They are more considerate and seldom join in a strike, and in some sections never take any part with the unions. For these reasons mine operators all over the country are encouraging the black men to enter the mines. They are guaranteeing protection, which is all the Negro asks. He is a willing worker and knows when he is well paid for his labor. He sees in the unions nothing but eternal trouble, and is content to work single handed, making his own agreements with his employer. WOMEN'S MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The St. Paul's Women's Mite Missionary Society will be represented at the convention August 26, and 27 at Mt. Juliet, Tenn., by these delegates: Mrs. Harriet Campbell, Mrs. Cornelia Jones, Mrs. Jas.

It is hoped that there will be delegates from every Women's Mite Missionary Society in the Tennessee conference. Conference officers: Mrs. Ellen Tyree, Honorary President; Mrs. G. L. Jackson, President; Mrs. M. S. Peyton, Secretary; Mrs. M. A. Halgler, Treasurer. CHARMING EVENT.

Miss Bessie E. Franklin and Mrs. Bessie Gooch spent last week in Murfreesboro attending the Delegated Assembly. While there they were the assembly of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Page. SPRINGFIELD RIOT. which threatens the security of every home and the lives of innocent citizens and the very foundation of free government by the open defiance of law: "Therefore, be it Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to the earnest support of all officials whose duty is law enforcement, and to give all information and assistance to them in bringing to swift justice all persons guilty of crime, irrespective of nationality or color, and we call upon all good citizens to co-operate in restoring and punishing all offenders to the end that the prosperity of the city may continue and to show that Springfield is deserving of respect and confidence, and that we demand that it is a community committed to the enforcement of law and order, and that we demand that the life, liberty and prosperity of citizens be protected without reference to nationality of color." Springfield, Ill., Aug. 19.—Fear and terror prevailed in the homes of Springfield to-night. The departure of two regiments of infantry to-day and the announcement that two more organizations will be sent home to-morrow caused consternation among the residents. "The mob will be here sure if those soldiers go away," they said, and delegations were hastily organized and sent to the State, county and city officials to protest against a relaxation of the military regime. The efforts of the authorities to quiet this feeling were only partly successful and in many a humble home there was no sleep before dawn. Every footfall or challenge of a sentry sent quivers of alarm among the anxious watchers. Scores of the terror-stricken sought refuge in the Arsenal. Early in the evening almost twice as many applications for shelter had been received there as on previous nights, and about 300 curled up in the corners of the balcony, sleeping on the floor or in chairs. The exodus of Negroes, which had begun to abate, was renewed. Trains and trolley cars were used by those fortunate enough to possess a little money, but many of the unfortunate took to the road, tramping across the country in a drizzling rain until exhaustion forced them to seek rest in cornfields or in wood lots. The children and old people who were driven to the open suffered heavily, and it is feared that many of them will succumb to the hardships. Adjt. Gen. Scott insists that there is no good ground for fear. "There are plenty of troops here tonight, and the force that will be available to-morrow, about 1,500 men, can certainly protect the city against any mob that may form." This opinion was indorsed in other quarters. It was pointed out that the rioting was overcome before the last 1,500 men had reached Springfield, and that the attempts to renew lawlessness had occurred before the soldiers were thoroughly familiar with the territories that they are now covering. MRS. HALLAM NOT CERTAIN. The session of the grand jury was devoted to hearing witnesses in the case of the assault on Mrs. Mabel Hallam. George Richardson, the Negro whom Mrs. Hallam identified as her assailant, although not positively, was indicted. Mrs. Hallam, members of her family, including Mr. Hallam and the police who responded to a call for help after the crime, were the witnesses before the grand jury. Richardson protests his innocence. The grand jury will meet again to-morrow morning to begin its general investigation of the riots. St. Luke Penny Savings Bank New York and Foreign Drafts issued.

Bow: man. Lee MR. BUMBREY ENTERTAINED. The Allied Printers Honey Fot Club gave one of the most enjoyable smokers of the season last Saturday nicht at 920 Bass street, in honor of Mr. L. D, Bumbrey, foreman of the composing room cf the National Bap- tist Publishing House, who had an- nounced that on Tuesday night, Au- gust 18, ke would launch his bark upon the placid sea of matrimony. The young men of the Honey Pot Club, bent on their mission of making this the crowning event of Mr. Bum- brey’s last days of bachelorhood, vied with each other in their efforts to make the evening one of continuous joy and merriment. At an early hour the faithful Honey Potters began to gather, and as each entered the confines of the beautiful Kelly home, the honey pot was pre- sented to him and each sipped free- ly of that which has made the bee fa- mous. Thus the program continued until about 9:30 o'clock, when the king bee, humming all the while, called his following to order, and Mr, Geo. O. Boyd, acting as master of ceremonies, in very jovial and appro- priate remarks, stated ‘the object of fe meeting. Mr, John H. Kelly, Jr., in his clever, at-home style of speak- ing, made them perfectly welcome to everything under his jurisdiction, and incidentally paid his respects to Mr. Bumbrey in glowing terms. At this juncture the “smoke weed” was passed around, and soon the room presented the appearance of a primi- tive stove, as every word uttered thereafter by the speakers came as it were from an evenly-tempered oven —just as nice and brown, and thor: oughly baked through and through. Hach speaker made special effort to do the occasion justice, and right well did they succeed. The married men ard the single men were arrayed against each other and each struggied tc make the most forcible impression upon the honoree of the occasion. Just whe won the laurels was decided by Mr. Bumbrey, who in his closing remarks, when, although he thanked all alike for the signal honor they had shown him, announced positively that he had decided to cast his lot with the married men. Let it be said to the credit of Mr. Shirley, though, that he made the most brilliant speech of the evening. Each gentleman spoke forcefully and to the point. Dutch lunch was served, after which the lid of the honey pot was re- moved and the sipping, humming and buzzing continued until 12 o'clock, when the parting song was sung and the Honey Potters flew away to the bush, to meet again some time in the near future. Those present were Messrs. L. D, Bumbrey, E. T. Price. L. 8. Gray, D. H. Winston, J. Edwin Graham, S$. Evans Shirley, Julius Robertson, Samuel L, Carter, Jesse L.
