THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. PROMINENT PHYSIGANS, DENTISTS AND PHARMACISTS. THE NATION'S METROPOLIS REEIVES HER GUESTS WITH PEN ARMS—PLAZA ASSEMBLY MS PROFUSELY DECO- TED—ADDRESS OF WELCOME Y MAYOR McCLELLAND — REPONDED TO BY DR. C. V. ROAN, OF NASHVILLE, TENN.— ANY IMPORTANT SUBJECTS EFFECTING PUBLIC HEALTH DISCUSSED—CLINICS HELD AT LINCOLN HOSPITAL. The tenth annual session of the National Medical Association convened the Plaza Assembly Rooms, New York City, Tuesday, August the 25th. The session was called to order by the chairman of the local committee. Location by Dr. Johnson, of New York, Dr. W. H. Wright, of Baltimore, Md., president of the Association, was introduced and delivered his annual address. He reviewed the accomplishments of the organization for the last twelve months, and it was known that much good has resulted from the existence of this organization. After the address the reports were taken up and occupied the balance of the morning session and the afternoon. At eight o'clock a public meeting was held in St. Marks Church on West 53rd street. The large auditorium was filled to overflowing. Mayor McClellan delivered the welcome address. Dr. C. V. Roman, the popuar specialist of Nashville, Tenn., responded. He said: first impressions are most difficult change. The recollections of childhood are always enduring if not always pleasant; and to the normal man whose hair has silvered, or departed or partly both, the golden dreams of youth make pleasant music in the halls of memory. My first impressions of New York were gained in my youth from that inimitable work, "A History of New York: From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, by Diedrich Knickerbocker," and from sundry and divers newspaper articles written by those luminous individuals— "Who in a village dwell But know all the tricks of London Town." As age sees either the fruition or dissipation of the dreams of youth you will pardon my verdant curiosity if I seize upon this occasion to find the solution of some of my boyhood puzzles. 1. Who built the walls on Wall street? How high are they? 2. Is the story of the Bulls and Bears seen on the streets of this city a "nature fake?" 3. Where do the lambs come from that are sheared in Wall street? Are they a home product or imported? 4. Is the Tammany tiger likely to attack strangers? 5. Where are stored the "Unutterable Ponderings of Walter, the Doubter?" 6. Where is the monument to the "Chivalric Achievements of Peter the Badstrong?" Are the windmills of "William sty," and the wind coruscations Van Corlear the trumpeter perpeted by the modern newspaper as the lions Caesar in the peripetietic orders of our day? of white stain, of rec oil and oil coli Trimmed w tassels, et bar, skin testimony of the litigants doing a case? was the officiating clergy facility and Politics were wed? is it on Manhattan Beach that Falsehood went bathing sehood stole Truth's clothes poor Truth nothing to wear Now these questions possess the NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1908. double merit of giving light as well as seeking light-ca pricr as well as opaque. They will let you folks know what people beyond the radiance of your effulgent influence may think of you and the answers may enlighten us on the arcana of metropolitan traditions. Assuring you of the best of motives and denying all intentions of abusing hospitalito by over inquisitiveness or pragmatically exposing a family skeleton, I turn to more serious discourse. "Hospitality stirs the emotions and nurtures those sentiments that make for the brotherhood of man, the goal of all religion and ethical philosophy. We love praise. We are pleased to have the other fellow endorse our opinions. We are apt to think those who endorse our opinions have sound judgment. So when I have journeyed a thousand miles to get to this city and you meet me and say, "Welcome! well come, you have done finely! Glad to see you," etc., gratitude is as natural as wetness after a rain. (And this is true whether we accept the dictionary definition or the genuine practical meaning a lively anticipation of favors to come.) Have you not shown sound judgment, great wisdom and discernment in praising my actions in coming here? Therefore, when I say, Mr. Mayor, Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and Gentlemen, we are profoundly grateful for your hearty welcome, you can accept the assertion as doubly sincere, as our gratitude does not rest upon the shifting sands of superficial courtesies and urban politeness, but securely anchored in the clay and rock of human pride and human selfishness. "One of the sweetest rewards at a journey's end is the benediction "welcome." The happiest bit of patriotic eloquence I ever heard was a Fourth of July rhetorical hyperbole which described the American Zelt Geist as an eagle resting his right foot upon the Alleghany Mountains and his left upon the Rockies, with his right wing soothing the wakeful Atlantic and his left stirring the sleepy Pacific; dipping his tail into the warm waters of the Gulf and his beak into the icebergs of the North, his scream reverberating around the world, heard in every clime and understood in every tongue,—bidding welcome to all who love liberty and will do justice to find shelter under the shadow of his mighty wings. "Where can the American spirit be found better typified than in this great metropolitan city, the financial heart of earth's mightiest nation? And who should be better prepared to appreciate the warmth and sincerity of a genuine American welcome than the Medical profession? This ancient profession whose existence is coeval with humanity (When the first man felt the first pain, there was, no doubt, some effort made to relieve it; then it was that the Medical profession was born.) This ancient profession needs no introduction to you nor eulogium from me. "But hospitality invites confidence. It is therefore meet, that in response to your cordial welcome, I should say something of our intentions here, the object of our Association and the personel of its membership. "Conceived in no spirit of racial exclusiveness, fostering no ethnic antagonism, but born of the exigencies of American environment, the National Medical Association has for its object the banding together for mutual co-operation and helpfulness, the men and women of African descent who are legally and honorably engaged in the practice of the cognate professions of Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacy and Dentistry. Our Association is not an imitation but an evolution; not a schism but a creation; not a negative protest against existing conditions, but a positive advance toward that adaptability to environment which finds its highest expression in the survival of the fit-test. The fit triumph over environment, while the unfit succumb to its obstacles. This Association is a declaration to the world that we are among the fit and mean to survive. "Looking back we feel ourselves the just heriters of all the past glories of Medical Science and Medical Art. Looking forward we are hopeful of being worthy participants in the conquests of the future. Standing in the present we repeat the words of Burke: 'Applaud us when we run, console us when we fall, cheer us when we recover, but let us pass on, for God's sake, let us pass on.' Boastful? No. Only truthful. "As a certain degree of egotism seems inseparable from strength of character, may not one be excusable for setting forth the virtues of his profession? In extenuation of the sin of egotism consider Samuel the upright judge, eloquently discoursing upon the excellencies of his own rule at the coronation of Saul his successor; David's recounting his previous vic- THE CHURCH Lea Avenue Christian Church will be formally dedicated Sunday, September 6, at 2 p.m. The Dedicatory THE PYTHIAN GALA WEEK Draws Large Crowds To Sulphur Spring Bottom. MERRIMENT ENJOYED BY THE NEGROES OF NASHVILLE. MANY ATTRACTIONS TO AMUSE THE VISITORS-OLD PLANTATION SHOW A SPECIAL FEATURE EVERY NIGHT-CAKE WALKERS CARRY OFF HONORS-FERRIS WHEEL ASCENDS HIGH IN AIR WITH ITS PATRONS-SPIRAL TOWER ACT A GREAT FEATURE. The Pythian Gala Week entertainment that has been running since Monday night will close out a very successful week Saturday night. The show has drawn large crowds to each performance, and all seemed to be highly pleased with what they received for their money. The entertainment is being conducted by the Pythian Hall Association, and they pride themselves as being the first Negroes in this city to undertake a week's entertainment on so large a scale. The show in the main is the creation of one Mr. Greene, a white gentleman, who makes such affairs a specialty. He came to the city, and, after conferring with the leaders of the Pythian Hall Association, came to the conclusion that such an entertainment could be successfully run. Upon agreement with the Association he set to work, and by systematic advertising in the papers and magazines that keep in close touch with the vaudeville shows of the country, he was enabled to secure the several attractions that have been furnishing the amusements for the people during the week of merriment in Sulphur Spring Bottom. The side shows, consisting of a penny arcade, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, spiral tower, novelty contortion act, and many others, were all well attended by the amusement seekers. The old plantation show is exceptionally entertaining, and is one of the best shows of its kind ever seen in Nashville. On Wednesday night a record breaking crowd was out to witness the cake walk, which was a special attraction for the evening, and the large crowd was well paid for the long time they waited for the performance to be pulled off. The contestants were all of a high character and presented a gay appearance as they romped to and fro across the stage in the fantastic style of such performers. Round after round of applause was given the contestants as they would show to advantage in their acts. The entertainment will close Saturday night and the Association officials predict a great success for their show. The members of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, furnished enter- Sermon will be delivered by Elder W. H. Dickerson, of Louisville.

I promised to furnish a number of your readers a few notes while on my vacation in search of the much-needed rest which my physician advised I should take long before I decided to obey him. Our State Convention and its great work weighed heavily on my mind and I wanted to wait until it convened, so that I might see what would be the outcome of that great gathering of Baptists of our grand old state. But a few days before the convention convened I had the misfortune to get limed in my eyes and they became so inflamed that I had to go under the treatment of a specialist, who endeared himself to me and my congregation and placed us under obligations to him for saving my eyesight. As soon as I was able to leave the city my official board placed my condition before the church, which readily granted me a month's vacation for rest and recuperation. I went immediately to Dawson, Ky., where I spent eleven days, drinking the different medicated waters of that great watering place. We found Mr. and Mrs. Wingo's home, a pleasant place for myself and also for sister Roxie Porch, Deacon Porch's wife, who has been seriously ill for about nine months. She is nearly well now, thank God. I left Dawson on Thursday, the 12th inst., to attend the General Association of Kentucky Baptists, which was in session at the Virginia Street Baptist Church, Hopkinsville, Ky., Our own Dr. R. H. Boyd had preceded me. He made the speech of his life at one of the sessions, so said some of the brethren. After spending one day and two nights at the Association, I went with Dr. W. H. McRidley, the President of the Cadiz Normal and Theological College, to Cadiz., where I spent the Sabbath and attended one of the greatest meetings I ever witnessed. Dr. McRidley is not only a great educator and journalist, but he is a great preacher and pastor, and his amiable wife is a great helper. We stopped at his home while we were in Cadiz and our treatment was grand. We also took tea with our old friend and brother, J. E. Dickerson, Secretary of the Trustee Board of the college. I need not tell you that everything was O. K. Bro. Dickerson is the leading meat merchant of Cadiz, and has held that place for twenty-odd years. From Cadiz I went to Canton, where I found my wife nearly thirty years ago. No one but my Master knows the feelings of my heart as we passed from home to home in that once lonely little town where I taught the boys and girls who are now men and women, mothers and fathers. I preached to them Monday and Wednesday nights. The last named night the white people constituted a large part of the congregation. Dr. J. H. Lackey eulogized your humble servant to some extent. We left for home Thursday and many of the brethren came part of the way with us. Yours for the Master, C. H. CLARK. No.34 NOTHING COMPLETE WITHOUT THEM SETTING A HOT PAGE FOR THE MEN IN THEIR PREPARATION. PRESIDENT OF THE WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT THROWS SOME LIGHT ON CONDITION OF AF FAIRS-GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY THE LADIES-EXHIBITS IN ART, SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY TO BE SEEN THAT CANNOT BE EXCELLED-AN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL TO BE CONDUCTED DURING THE FAIR-COUNTY CHAIRMEN NAMED. Save when there is a feminine side, nothing has ever been thoroughly accomplished, and the Tennessee Colored Fair Association is no exception. The Woman's Department of this Association boasts of a large number of energetic and thoroughly interested members and under the direction of its President, Mrs. Preston Taylor, has done a wonderful amount of work. There are ladies in it whose zeal, earnestness and consciousness of duty have not been and cannot be surpassed by any band of women on the globe. There is no department which comes under a woman's supervision which will not be represented. Everything that the brain, hands and heart of woman can accomplish will be exhibited. Those dear ones whose kitchen handicraft is historical are in thorough sympathy with the movement and there will be something of every mentionable edible for you to look and marvel at—the most transparent jellies, preserves, wines, etc., the flakiest breads, cakes, pastries. Already some of the choicest needle work, pyrography, painting, sculpture, millinery and dressmaking are ready. Woman from a literary and musical side will be represented—a choice feature being public musical recitals each day by some of the best talent in the state. There will be an emergency hospital arranged and conducted by Dr. J. E. Wells, our lady physician, which will be a feature both novel and interesting. In fact, we are glad to accept anything done by a woman, whether it is usually supposed to be under a man's monopoly or not. The Association has provided chairmen of different counties and cities that one may easily find out about anything. The following are mentioned as efficient and energetic chairmen, who are acquainted with the work and requirements of exhibitors, having already brought in long lists of them, and information of any nature can be obtained from them: Mrs. Louise Bell and Mrs. A. T. Jackson, Davidson County, with headquarters at Nashville; Mrs. Lena Payne, Memphis; Mrs. Holder, Chattanooga; Mrs. White, Gallatin; Mrs. Irene Dowell, South Nashville; Mrs. Anna Walker, Ebenezer; Mrs. Walker, Sandersville; Mrs. Josephine Hoggatt, Donelson; Mrs. M. J. Butt, Springfield; Mrs. Wells, Aspen Hill. The list of members is still open for extension and every lady wishing to become a member or exhibitor can give her name to any one most convenient to her, and have her exhibit on hand Monday, September 14, before the opening of Fair September 15. No lady will be charged to enter an exhibit, but she will be eligible to all prizes awarded, and excellent care will be taken of anything she may trust to our care. The meetings will be held at the President's home every Monday from now on, at 4 o'clock, till the opening of Fair.

Last Saturday Winchester and the surrounding country were visited with a rain that will no doubt hold the record for some time to come. Coming down in gentle showers at first, the rain gained until it resembled a cloud-burst. The streets were like small streams and the city had the appearance of Venice, the famed city of canals. With this down-pour, the nominating of men favorable to the local option idea, the thirsty crowd has taken hope.

TAFT'S RELIGIOUS VIEWS. In certain portions of the West, it is stated, active opposition to the election of Judge Taft as President is being waged, based upon the candidate's religious views. Mr. Taft is a Unitarian. One of the tenets of this sect is the non-belief in the divinity of the Christ. The question is being mainly agitated by the Methodists, a denomination whose history should make them tolerant of the religious views of all other denominations. The attack on Mr. Taft on account of his religious views is not liable to hurt that gentleman's chances for the presidency. But, on the contrary, unless Mr. Bryan or the democratic executive committee deny responsibility, is liable to make votes for the republican candidate. The American people believe that a man's religious views should not be called into question when he is a candidate for office and any effort to make political capital by so doing is liable to meet with a rebuff. Mr. Bryan is an honest, high-minded man and should not countenance any fight upon Taft's religious views by his associates within the democratic party. If his democracy is not broad enough to make him denounce the attack being made on Mr. Taft, political expediency should recall to him the "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" of the Blaine-Cleveland campaign and cause the gentleman from Nebraska to deny all the responsibility for the action of these religious cranks. Taft presents sufficient vulnerable places for attack without drawing into the contest his religious professions. NEGRO POPULATION OF THE NORTH Despite hard times the Negro continues to gradually drift toward the North. It is notable, too, that those who emigrate settle in cities with a large population. Within the last decade Chicago, and Indianapolis in the Middle West; New York and Philadelphia in the East have had their Negro population greatly added to by persons coming from the South. The census of 1900 showed that the four cities having the greatest Negro population were Washington, with 86, 702 Negro inhabitants; Baltimore, New Orleans, Philadelphia. The census of 1910 is liable to show a few changes in the relative position of these cities as is made evident in the case of Philadelphia. ne ra an ed Philadelphia in 1900 had a Negro THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1908. population of 62,613. A recent city census showed a colored population of 107,000. These figures, if accurate show an increase of a fraction over 70 per cent in eight years and possibly makes the city the first of America, if not of the world, as to its number of Negro inhabitants. THE PRESS ON SPRINGFIELD Scarcely a newspaper in America has failed to comment upon the series of riots in Springfield, Ill. All comments seem to be in condemnation of the spirit of lawlessness which gave vent to itself in attacks on Negroes, arson, burglary and plain, petty thieving. The Buffalo Times, under the head of "America Bows in Shame Over Springfield," has the following: It is not in the realm of possibilities to find an iota of justification for the riot which has disgraced the citizenship of Springfield, Ill., where murder, destruction and mob violence has just held sway for over thirty hours despite the presence of several companies of state militia. Even after the city had been guarded by soldiers the lynching of an old Negro was permitted in one of the public streets. The failure of the authorities to prevent the brutal murder of this old man indicates a neglect of duty to add to the seriousness of the riot. How such a situation could arise in a civilized American community is difficult to conceive. We may account of a sudden exhibition of lawlessness prompted by some heinous offense—which dies out as reason returns after the first spasm of temper, but a long continuance of riotous demonstration could come only from multiplying wrongs long endured or a spirit of vicious lawlessness not characteristic of our American citizenship. The last named explanation seems to be the only one there is, and it makes deeper the shame of Springfield. The movements of the authorities, local and State, seem to have been excellent, but execution of orders was not as effective as it might and ought to have been. We view from a high elevation, with prayers and the despatching of missionaries such conditions in uncivilized lands. At home we can only view it in shame. Gov. Deneen, of Illinois, made a great effort to curb the nefarious work of the rowdies and thieves who, forming the Springfield mobs, brought such a blot upon the fair name of the state. The Governor remained on duty all night several times in order that he could give his personal attention to breaking up any gathering of rowdies. The campaign is about to begin in this state. Two years ago the "I won't hear you one minute," Sanders-Evans state committee was so sure that prohibition democrats wearing a white skin, were going to elect the Hon. H. Clay Evans that they failed to ask any Negroes to speak or vote for their candidate. They wanted to get rid of the colored brother then. But now that there are two republican tickets in the field and each faction wants to poll a larger vote than the other, perhaps the "I won't hear you one minute" managers will conscript the brilliant Hon. J. C. Napier to take up the "state-wide" republican platform and discuss it before the colored brother. Or, maybe the "I won't hear you one minute" faction would rather be in the minority without the Negro than in the majority with him. But in a few days we will see what we shall see. Bryan is so sure of the electoral votes of the South that he refuses to come this way until after the election—then he will probably be asking "so much per." We imagine this must be galling to the chivalrous gentlemen of this section. The "Peerless One" is as sure of the vote of this section as the republicans were at one time of the Negro vote and makes no effort to hold it. The South will vote for anything labeled "democrat." The Southern supporters of Bryan seem to be very quiet on the guarantee of deposits plank of the democratic platform. From many of the editorials printed before the making of the platform it would seem that the Oklahoma plan does not meet with the approval of the South any more than it does with sensible, conservative men in other sections of the coun- try. But the South is so used to taking its medicine that when the bottle containing socialistic and all other kinds of lotions but marked "democratic," comes along, the Southerners close their eyes and swallow whatever is offered. The death of D. M. Wilkins, former editor of the Chicago Conservator, comes as a shock to the many persons who had known this brilliant man through the vigorous editorials which he contributed to his Chicago newspaper. Mr. Wilkins was one of a group of Northern editors who fought Booker Washington and his ideas almost continuously, always finding fault and never giving the gentleman from Tuskegee any credit for anything good. Mr. Wilkins, after a conference with Mr. Washington became converted to the latter's views and until the malady, which finally proved to be fatal caused him to give up the editorial work upon the Conservator, he was a firm defender of Mr. Booker T. Washington and his work. Close up the back rooms to the dives, Mr. Mayor, and thereby break up the crowds of drunken men and women. COMMUNICATION. To the Nashville Globe: Please allow me to express through the medium of your most worthy paper my sincere thanks and gratitude to my many friends and acquaintances for their numerous acts of kindness and sympathy shown me during the last illness or my husband. In this dark hour of affliction it would be impossible for me to bear my sorrow if it were not for the blessed promises of a Saviour that are daily being fulfilled through the loving deeds of friends. I owe a special debt of gratitude to the attending physicians and friends who labored so faithfully and earnestly to give comfort and hope. Their kindness I can never forget. Last, but not least, I wish to thank the Nashville Globe and other local papers for their kind tributes and words of sympathy. With much gratitude, I beg to remain, Very sincerely yours, MRS. J. S. MARTIN. MONUMENT MARKS HER GRAVE. Out at East End cemetery a beautiful monument has been erected over the grave of the late Mrs. Lula Maud Smith-Boyd, who was the wife of Henry Allen Boyd. It will be remembered that she died in Nashville, Tenn., during the month of February, 1906, having only recently moved there with her husband, who had accepted a position with a large firm in Tennessee. Her remains were brought here for interment, accompanied by the husband and little daughter. The monument is made of good Texas granite, and stands seven feet above the ground, with a simple inscription on it, giving name, date of birth and death. The work was turned out by a local firm. The deceased was extremely prominent. The husband was for a long time in the local postoffice, serving under Postmasters Joe George and the late G. G. Clifford. All San Antonio knew him as "Allen," always obliging and polite to patrons. He is now assistant secretary and manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, a director of a bank and a young man high up in public esteem.—The San Antonio (Texas) Bee. ENTERTAINED AT DINNER. Mrs. Ida B. Holmes, of 910 Shankland street, entertained last Saturday evening Mrs. N. E. Dunlap and Miss S. Mattie Fisher of Chicago. Miss Fisher has been visiting relatives in Newnan, Ga., and was the guest of Mrs. N. E. Dunlap. MRS. LENA SMITH GREEN DEP. PARTS THIS LIFE. The many friends of Miss Lena Greene, wife of Mr. Chas. Greene, will deeply regret to hear of her sad death, which occurred at her home on Jackson street, Wednesday morning, August 19, about 9:30 o'clock, the result of a protracted illness. She professed a hope in Christ at the early age of fourteen years and became a member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which she was an active member until the time of her death. She was married to Mr. Chas. Greene several years since and to the union two children were born. The funeral services, which were very impressive, were held, at the church of which she was a member, Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. S. A. Matheus, the pastor. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, mother, two children, stepfather, one sister and a host of relatives and friends. ALL WE ASK IS TO GIVE US A TRIAL!

All the churches made good reports in this department. At the close of the Sunday-school works, Miss Mary E. Cross, of Sadlersville, President of the District Woman's Board of Missions, took charge. Mrs. M. B. Smith, of Clarksville, was elected secretary. The reports coming up from this department were also good. Revs. D. R. Giles, Wm. Duglass, P. J. Coleman, A. B.; R. B. Polk, Presiding Elder, and A. J. Parker preached. Rev. R. B. Polk preached a very thoughtful sermon on Sunday at 11 a.m., to a large congregation.

We learn on good authority that during the discussion by the recent Conference in Cape Town on native affairs, the Premiers of the Transvaal, Orange River Colony and Natal maintained a most unbending attitude on the question of the native vote and declared that in any Closer Union scheme; even if the present Parliaments remain, the native vote in the Cape Colony must be abolished. It was insisted that if the native vote was retained Cape Town would most certainly not be agreed to as the South African Capital, inasmuch as the Colony which adhered to a policy repugnant to the rest of South Africa could not possibly be exalted above other States, and thus render difficult, if not impossible, that consummation which eventually they are determined to bring about, namely, the abolition of the native vote throughout the whole sub-continent. In fact, when the discussion on native affairs was brought to a close, the most clear and inflexible, though tacit, understanding which had been established was that unless the Cape Colony came into line with the rest of South Africa on this vital principle, Cape Town would inevitably be left out in the cold. It is needless to say that this is a most formidable threat; it amounts, in fact, to a dazzling bribe, for, of course, the question of the Capital is of life and death importance to Cape Town in particular and the Cape Colony in general. It is well that the serious issues involved in such a situation should be approached with calmness, and as time goes on the sharp edge of early controversy will no doubt be rounded off in a spirit of justice to all.

NASHVILLE, TENN THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1908. MISS FOX OF NEW YORK. Miss Emma Fox, of New York City, is visiting in this city. Miss Fox is 1203 Second avenue, South. She has been in the city for the past week receiving much attention from Nashville's hospitable people. Miss Fox is a representative New Yorker. Her work in Manhattan Borough with the educational interests of New York is one that deserves the highest mention. Her visit to the South was for the purpose of seeing the actual conditions as they exist in Dixie. Miss Fox was entertained at dinner last Monday evening by Bishop and Mrs. I. B. Scott, of First avenue, South, and on Wednesday evening she was tendered a parlor concert at the residence of Dr. Josie E. Wells. On the whole, Nashville has been able to make a favorable impression upon Miss Fox, and judging from a conversation with a Globe reporter, Miss Fox seems to be favorably impressed with greater Nashville. HOUSEKEEPERS' EMBROIDERY CIRCLE. The Housekeepers' Embroidery Circle met at the residence of Mrs. W. M. Rucker, 1000 Eleventh avenue, North, one afternoon last week. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Those present were Mesdames G. W. Ward, W. L. McEwen, H. Haney, H. M. Burns, W. T. Duncan, P. A. Sims, Merrill and Jones. The guests were Mrs. Robert Noel and Mrs. G. W. Hoverson, who gave a short talk and also a selection on the piano. After all business was over the ladies were invited into the dining-room and served a three-course menu, which consisted of fish croquettes, cheese sandwich, Saratoga chips, pickles, fruit salad, watermelon, cream and cake. The next meeting will be at the residence of Mrs. Merrill, 517 Eleventh avenue, North, Friday evening, August 29, at 3:30 o'clock. MISS LULA HOBSON HONORED Mrs. Genie B. Williams entertained at dinner at her home, 1004 Ninth avenue, North, Last Thursday, complimentary to her friend, Miss Lula I. Hobson, secretary and stenographer of Howe Institute, Memphis. An elaborate dinner was served from a beautifully appointed table, decorated with ferns and adorned with a handsome lace centrepiece laid over satin Miss Hobson entertained the guests with several fine musical selections Among those who enjoyed the hos pititality of the hostess were Mrs. W D. Rucker, Mrs. Allen Watkins, Mrs Spencer Jackson, Mrs. John Wood fork, Miss Lulu I. Hobson, Mrs. Maria Johnson and Mr. Peter Patterson WOMAN'S DAY. Sunday, August 30, bids fair to be a notable day at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, pastor. For that day the deacons of the church have stepped aside and everything will be run by the women, it being Woman's Day at the church. The women have taken hold of the work with enthusiasm and seem determined to show the brethren just how to run a church for one Sunday at least. All men are to be quiet on that day. Not a man's voice is to be heard, though their presence and contributions are solicited. Women from all parts of the city have been invited to be present and participate in the exercises. In this way an excellent program has been arranged. Among those who are to help make the exercises interesting and profitable are Mrs. M. H. Flowers, Mrs. V. W. Broughton, Mrs. W. H. Flagg, Mrs. I. H. Jones and Mrs. A. M. Townsend. In addition to these the ladies of the church will speak. The Woman's Day idea originates with the Ladies' Aid Club of the First Baptist Church, and as stated, the women are pushing the matter with vigor. Services will be held morning, afternoon and night. MISSIONARY AND EDUCATIONAL UNION. The Woman's Missionary and Educational Union will hold its third quarterly meeting at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church the first Friday in September at 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. This is a meeting of importance, as it is the last meeting before the National Baptist Convention. Those who made the personal pledges at the State meeting will please bring the same to this meeting. Also the local societies that pledged $2.50. The program in the afternoon will be rendered by the young people and children of the following Sunday-schools: First Baptist, East Nashville, Second, Zion, Third, Sylvan Street, Fairfield, Mt. Gilead, First Street, Pleasant Green, Fifth Avenue, Hawkins Street. At 8 p. m. remarks will be made by the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. V. W. Broughton. M. L. COTTRELL, President, C. E.

If you are married and sometimes find it hard to pay rent, I will help to so place you that you will have NO MORE RENT TO PAY. If you are single you could with so much more ease ask your sweetheart to share your joys and your sorrows IF YOU HAD A HOME OF YOUR OWN. Make your start now on my easy plan; make your home your Savings Bank. Richard Hill, the wide awake, energetic dealer in Real Estate of our city has closed one of the greatest deals in Nashville Realty, that has fallen to a colored man for years. He purchased for Mr. A. N. Johnson, the undertaker, the "Eakin Mansion" property on The grounds upon which there is yet standing the Massive Mansion House, are 100 feet and more front on Cedar street going back 166 to an alley with 3 sides clear. The abstract to the title dates back to 1784 and to read it through gives a nice outline of the growth of the city. Mr. Johnson contemplates extensive improvements not only for the better handling of his large and increasing business, but he is consulting architects and builders, hoping to erect very desirable suites of rooms and offices, also an amusement hall and roof garden for his people. A more desirable location could not have been found. Mr. Hill feels justly proud to have negotiated such a big deal, but is just as energetic and willing in looking after smaller ones. Should you need a home, or lot, a house erected of any kind, his record would suggest that it would not be a bad policy to consult him. FURNITURE, TERMS TO SUIT EVERYBODY.

MRS. DICKERSON RETURNS FROM THE EAST. Mrs. Eddie M. Dickerson is home again after spending a portion of the summer in the East. At New Haven, Conn., Yale College was visited. The work on the outside of one of the dormitories was done by a Negro sculptor. There are a few Negro teachers among the city corps. A few days were spent in New York City and Staten Island. She states the latter place is mostly a recluse for Poles, Irish, Dutch, Jews and almost every other nation. The Negro, on Staten Island has no show for work; his help is not wanted, prejudice is worse than it is in the South. In all of the New Jersey cities Mrs. Dickerson visited the Negroes seemed to be doing nicely. In Atlantic City all of the mail carriers are Negroes, so are nearly all the policemen, constables, magistrates, expressmen and cabmen. A large number are in business of their own and some few have places of business on the board walk. Mrs. Dickerson also spent a few days in Washington, D. C. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. The second session of the 12th Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope was formally opened by the Governor on Friday, June 19, 1908. The only reference to the Natives relates to the question of Usury as follows: Attention has for many years been directed to the practice of usury both among natives and Europeans in this country. It particularly affects the natives who are from their rudimentary state of economic knowledge often unable to protect themselves in monetary transactions. The examples of other countries show that dis WASGRAVE satisfaction arising from this cause may be a serious menace to public order. A measure has been prepared and will be submitted, having for its object the regulation of the rates of interest on the lines adopted in most civilized countries. With regard to the prevailing distress the following should interest the natives and encourage them to put every energy into industries and agriculture. It is, however, to the development of our own resources in agriculture and industry that we must look for any permanent relief in the difficulties under which we labour. The greatest asset here as elsewhere lies in the character of the people.—Voice of the People, South Africa. NATIVE GOVERNMENT—THE POLICY OF "ASSOCIATION." The policy of associating the native by permitting him to take a part in the administration of his own country is one of the striking features of recent French Colonial policy, and in view of Closer Union in South Africa it is worthy of notice. The policy which was favored by the late Cecil Rhodes of bringing the black races to participate in an active way in the moral welfare and material progress of the State has been substituted according to the Report of His Majesty's Minister at Paris (Hon. Reginald Lister) for the old principles of "domination" and "assimilation" which have been discarded as impracticable by French Colonial Ministers. M. Dubief is credited with being the first to advocate the new policy in 1903, and it has the sympathy of other French Colonial Ministers who have also made a study of British Colonial policy favorable to the creation of Crown Agencies of which they approve. They disapprove of the British system of General Agencies which we take it means as in Natal handing over vast bodies of self-governing Colonies still in their infancy. It is claimed that remarkable progress has already been achieved in the practical application of these principles which adopting "Association" as a basic law of Native Government are set forth as follows: “(1) Absolute respect for the individuality of the native; (2) the preservation and development of the race; (3) respect for existing native property; (4) the introduction of a more suitable fiscal system; (5) the development of the moral well-being of the native by means of education; and (6) the exercise of special care in the selection of the staff of teachers, French and native alike."—Voice of the People, South Africa.

Indeed whist is beginning to be a thing of the past. Miss Bessie Martin won the prize in the guessing game played, and Miss Harriet Caruthers the consolation. The dining-room table was laden with most delicious eatables, and all seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. The next meeting will be at the home of Miss John D. Thompson. A PARLOR CONCERT. Nashville society was given a rare treat on last Wednesday evening in the form of a parlor concert given at the residence of Dr. Josie E. Wells, Second avenue. South, in honor of Miss Fox, of New York. The talent that was present on this occasion has never been equalled on a social program—in fact, not since the last big program rendered by the Wednesday evening Musical, has such a rare treat been given to such a large number of the society-going people. The evening was most pleasantly spent. Those who volunteered to serve on the program seemed to have been prompted solely by a desire to make the evening an enjoyable one. The numbers consisted of vocal and instrumental solos and duets and special readings. It has often been said that Nashville has more talent to the square inch than any city of its size in the South. In fact, her place in the profession would be hard to fill by another city. This was evidenced on Wednesday evening. Aside from the special numbers rendered the guests for the occasion were a notable gathering. The home of Dr. Wells, spacious as it is, was beautifully arranged and the front parlor was the scene of this excellent program. Every available place in the parlor and the spacious halls was filled. The rendering of such a program was only made possible by the fact that much of the talent that is usually away from the city was here winding up their summer vacation and this occurred just on the eve of their departure to the various schools and other institutions. Miss Fox was given an opportunity to see the great number of young men and women able to take their places along with others halling from this city, who have made their names famous.
