THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. III. OFFICERS ARE HIGHLY PLEASED WITH RESULTS OBTAINED. BIG PARADE TO PASS THROUGH STREETS- MAYOR JAS. BROWN AND JUDGE W. M. POLLARD TO DELIVER ADDRESSES - FREE ATTRACTIONS TO BE ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE SHOW, SAYS ONE OF THE OFFICERS. The Directors of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association, which will hold its first annual fair at Greenwood Park, beginning September 15, and continuing for five days, held a most interesting meeting Tuesday night in the directors' room of the One Cent Savings Bank. The meeting was largely attended and the enthusiasm shown by those present resembled the night when the Association was first organized. President J. C. Napier, though visibly suffering from the spell of sickness he underwent while on a trip to the East, presided with much of his usual vigor. Most of the other officers were present and filled their usual duties. A report of the work done, submitted to the meeting, shows that all will be in readiness for the opening on Tuesday, September 15. What few exhibits that are not in place at the opening, if there be any at all, will be those where the exhibitors themselves have been negligent in sending in their collections. General Manager J. B. Bosley, Chairman of the Executive Board, Dr. P. R. Burrus, Messrs. Sherman Reeves, J. Frank Battle, J. B. Kennedy, J. W. Bostick, Dr. Lester and the others who addressed the meeting were well pleased with the progress made. The announcement was made that the grand street parade had been arranged for. The Marshal-in-Chief, Mr. J. B. Bosley, will be in charge of the parade. He will be assisted in his work by the following, who will act as assistant marshals: Sherman Reeves, S. P. Harris, George O. Boyd, J. Frank Battle, O. C. Presley, James Jennings, T. Clay Moore, J. A. Davis, R. B. Richardson. It was further stated that the members of the Association will take part in the parade, riding in tallyhos and carriages. Much seems to be expected by those interested in the parade feature from the Ladies' Auxiliary. Likewise it is planned to have Company G., under the command of Capt. H. B. Bowman, and many attractive floats representing the children and the local business houses. The opening day has been chosen as Vashville and Davidson County Day. At the opening exercises on this day, following immediately after the parade, Mayor James S. Brown and County Judge W. M. Pollard will each deliver an address. Other speakers of wide repute are on the program. Concerning the free amusements, which will be one of the main attractions of the fair, it is said Mr. J. Frank Battle, Chairman of the Committee on Amusements, made the following statement to a representative of The Globe: "I have secured the services of Mr. R. L. Ralph and the Martin Brothers who will entertain at the Fair during the day and the horse show at night. Mr. Ralph is the only Negro in the South who does the human frog 'stunt.' He also acts on the trapeze, playing the part of clown to the famous Martin Brothers in their wonderful work in the air. The three give a first-class performance. "The ring catching tournament on horseback and Prof. Clarence Bright, the athlete and pugilist, who has promised to give a free exhibition in the art of prize fighting and punching the bag, are only some of the free attractions that will be presented for the amusement of the people of Nashville." Work of preparing the Park goes steadily on and all will doubtless be ready for the opening of the first state fair of the race in Tennessee on September 15. With fair weather the park, it is expected, will be crowded. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1908. MEHARRY OPENS. The Medical Department of Walden University Opens foh Its Forty- Second Session. In spite of the tremendous scarcity of work that the schoolboys have met with this year, the Medical Department of Walden University had an encouraging number of students present on Wednesday morning to begin the opening of the present school year. Many of these students came from distant towns and neighboring counties. Some of the young men had been at work in California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Illinois and points to the South, while others had crossed into Canada; but in some way they have succeeded in returning to Nashville for their studies. Only a small number of the class of 1909 so far has failed to either report or send in their names and enrollment for the present year. In fact the older students or what is known as the graduating classes in all of the departments are expected to return. These young men have scattered all over the country, as will be shown from the recent map drawn, which appeared in The Globe in its "Greater Nashville Edition," giving the cities in which the graduates from this school have been located. The students when they left for their vacations scattered proportionately, thus their assembling on Wednesday was much in the form of a reunion. The ceremony attending the opening was not at all elaborate. Dr. Hubbard, the dean, so well and generally loved by citizens and students, together with Dr. Kumler, the president of Walden University, were very desirous that the exercises be as simple as possible. Quite a number of new students have already arrived and many more have written, stating that they would reach here the latter part of the week or early next week. There is noticeable a number of students from other schools entering at Meharry. It is evident from this that the school is being felt throughout the United States. THE PUBLISHING BOARD, HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING. The regular monthly meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board was held Tuesday, September 8, at the office of Secretary Boyd. This meeting was the last meeting of the Board to be held before the meeting of their National Convention. Dr. Boyd submitted his two reports, the Home Mission Board report and the Publishing Board report for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1908. These reports were gone over and adopted by the board, which, in turn, will recommend them to the Convention for adoption. Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe reporter that there was nothing he could give out for publication, as his report was a document to be presented to the Convention for its consideration before any publicity could be made of its contents. He did state, however, that the Publishing Board in its business department felt very keenly the results of the panic last Fall, Winter and Spring. He is hopeful, however, of an increased business during the fiscal year which is just now beginning. INSTALLATION BALLY. INSTALLATION RALLY. The members of Tabernacle Baptist Church had a successful installation rally on Monday night, August 24, under the auspices of the two church clubs. Rev. H. M. Burns, the pastor, having been installed on Sunday, the installation rally followed. A large crowd was in attendance and the sum of $50 was raised from this effort and the church was prepared to meet its second note. This church has made wonderful progress under the pastorate of this young divine and the few loyal members who have stood by him through thick and thin. They are succeeding financially and spiritually, seemingly, with God on their side, all working hand in hand. BIG DAY AT MT. OLIVE There were three exceedingly large services at Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday. The usual interest was manifested in the Sunday-school in the morning, but the crush came at the three o'clock services. Sunday being the first Sunday, it looked as though the enormous membership tried its best to crowd into a church that will only seat about twelve hundred. The house was packed from the door to the pulpit. It looked like old times and right well did the services progress. Then came the night services with the usual overflow crowd and interest. The choir rendered excellent music throughout the day. Mrs. Katy Graves spent one day of this week in Ashland, Tenn., visiting friends. LEA AVE. CHURCH DEDICATED Entire Day Spent In Most Impressive Services. DEDIGATORY SERMON BY ELDER W. H. DICKERSON. LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT AT EACH SERVICE — MANY VISITING MINISTERS IN EVIDENCE—UNION COMMUNION SERVICES HELD AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK—MISS DAISY E. CONRAD COMMENDS THE PASTOR AND CONGREGATION. Lea Avenue Christian Church held its dedicatory services last Sunday. The entire day was spent in worship and the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. In the morning at 11 o'clock union communion services were held. In the afternoon Elder W. H. Dickerson, of Louisville, delivered the dedicatory sermon, which was both practical and spiritual. At the evening services brief remarks were made by visiting ministers. Miss Ford, late field missionary to Porto Rico of the Christian Church, made a most enjoyable address to the congregation in the afternoon just after Elder Dickerson had delivered his sermon. Miss Daisy E. Conrad, the daughter of Elder Conrad, made a short address commemorating the work done by the pastor, Elder Taylor, and the congregation. There is not a church in history whose congregation has accomplished so much in such a short while. The Lea Avenue Christian Church was organized twenty years ago by Dr. Rufus Conrad, of Louisville, with only one hundred members. At that time they worshipped in Keeble's Hall on Eighth avenue, North, and remained there about six years, after which they bought the present location and built a chapel and basement and worshiped in that for about five years; then the auditorium was added, the building costing Fifteen Thousand Dollars, and the furniture Twenty-Five Hundred. The church was renovated from basement to auditorium for this occasion. For beauty there is not another church in the city that can surpass it. The walls are all painted in a delicate blue with decorations of the most modest and attractive designs. The congregation of Lea Avenue Church should be ever grateful to their pastor, Elder Preston Taylor, who has been with them for the past twenty years, for it has been through his most strenuous efforts that the congregation has been so successful. Elder Taylor, who is always ready to assist or do something for the enjoyment of others generally succeeds in whatever he undertakes. The reason the church has not been dedicated before this is, the pastor and congregation did not want to give it to the Lord in debt. So it was dedicated free of all debt.

On Tuesday night about eleven o'clock, Mr. Jerry Robertson, night watchman at the National Baptist Publishing House, while in the discharge of his duty, shot two white men, who were trespassing upon the premises of that concern and refused to vacate after having been warned to do so by the watchman. The men that received the three pistol shots, were Pat Tothacre and Elmore Lee. They are reported to be railway employees, but the police seem to know them as familiar characters who frequent the Tenderloin district. This was brought out from the fact that one of them went to a well-known house on Jo Johnston avenue after receiving his wounds. The shooting occurred just at the door of the engine room and boiler house, which opens on to the premises of the publishing plant. The space is left vacant by the Board in order that its cinders might find a lodging place, and not obstruct the main alley. The watchman passes through the entire plant by this way without going out into the street or the alley. It appears that while in the discharge of his duty he noticed two men skulking around the premises. From statements made by him at the court he hailed them and ordered them to desist from their trespassing. He was replied to with a prompt refusal. Not only that, the men advanced upon him in a threatening manner, continuing to press forward, coming over the cinder pile just at the entrance of the door. Mr. Robertson states that he backed back and continued to order them to stop. He noticed a knife in one of their hands, while the other had his hand in his pocket indicating that he intended to pull a weapon. The watchman claims that he was sure they intended not only to stay on the premises, but to do so by force even at the expense of the watchman's life. Hence in order to protect the enormous amount of property of the plant, as well as his own self, he was forced to fire upon his would-be assailants. He shot three times each of the shots took effect. Lee was shot in the calf of the leg, while Tothacre received a flesh wound in the left hip and another one in the wrist. It was not until these wounds were inflicted that they consented to beat a retreat. Sergeant Smith and Patrolmen Killen and Winfrey were soon upon the scene. Robertson was placed under arrest and sent to the station house. Search was then begun for the two white men. They were located and sent to the city hospital, where their wounds were dressed. One of them was not in a condition to be removed from the hospital. The other was taken to the station house. All of this occurred before Dr. Bovd, who had retired, could get upon the scene. He went to the station house, however, but as the hour was late no bond could be made. On the following morning Robertson was released on $2,000 bond, which was given readily. On Wednesday afternoon a preliminary hearing was made. Robertson was held to wait the action of the grand jury, under a $500 bond. The condition of the man who is in the hospital was not such as to permit him to be present at the trial. From the evidence given the court seemed to hold that it was not an attempt to murder, but simply a protection of property from intruders. From what could be learned by a Globe reporter, the shooting was justifiable. Robertson has been in the employ of the Publishing Board for about three years, bears a good reputation, and is a quiet, industrious citizen. There was no sensation created by the shoot ing. The two white men claim to have been drunk. RETURNS TO THE CITY AFTER AN EXTENSIVE TRIP. Mrs. J. E. Miller, one of Nashville's most popular matrons, who for the past four months has been in Des Moines, Ia., returned to the city Monday much improved by the trip. While in Des Moines Mrs. Miller enjoyed the distinction of being the only colored pupil at the Lincoln Studio, which is rumited to be one of the finest in the Northwest for voice culture. Mrs. Miller appeared before the public and made quite a "hit" with the Des Moines people, who praised to the highest the lovely qualities of her voice. ROCK CITY NOTES Missie Etta Harris and Emma Boyd, of East Nashville, spent two days in Rock City visiting Miss Nannie Guild. Mrs Emma Clendening, of Rock City, is sick Mrs. N. White, of Rock City, who has been very sick, is able to be up. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Guild, of Rock City, had a jolly crowd at their ice cream parlor Labor Day. No.36 EVERY POSSIBLE PREPARATION MADE TO ENTERTAIN THE CONVENTION-LARGEST DELEGATED BODY OF RELIGIOUS WORKERS IN UNITED STATES NASHVILLE WELL REPRESENTED IN MAKE UP OF THIS BODY NASHVILLIANS TO ATTEND. On Tuesday morning, September 15, the delegates and visitors from Nashville will leave to attend the twenty-eighth annual session of the National Baptist Convention, which will convene at Lexington, Ky., on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. The city of Lexington has graciously tendered for the use of this convention the spacious and beautiful Chautauqua Hall, a building that will seat six thousand. Lexington, according to reports, has made every possible preparation for the entertainment of what is no doubt the largest delegated body of religious workers meeting in the United States. The programs, official and souvenir, of this meeting are being distributed. The musical feature is interesting and attractive. Nashville plays no small part in the make up of this national body, hence practically all of the Baptist ministers in the city will be absent until after the 21st of this month. Thousands of visitors from the South will come through the city, as this is the gateway going North. They will come from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and points in Texas, points in Georgia, South Carolina, as well as from Louisiana and the West Indies. The railroad companies have arranged for a stop-over privilege, so the city will be thronged with visitors passing through from Monday until Wednesday. Others will not stop until the return trip is made. The question of the 1909 session of the Convention is being agitated. That is to say, many cities are in the race, the most prominent being Seattle, Wash., which claims the right of the meeting on account of the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, and the very low rate that will be offered for the West. Then comes Savannah, Ga., laying a claim on account of the old established churches, the oldest in the Southland; New Orleans, the metropolis of the South; St. Louis, Mo., Indianapolis, Ind., Columbus, O. Nothing could be learned as to whether Nashville would bid for the next session or not. PYTHIAN CARNIVAL CLOSES. The Pythian Carnival, which showed for two weeks in the Sulphur Springs Bottom, came to a successful close on last Friday night. The Pythian Hall Association, through its President, S. P. Harris, express themselves as highly pleased with the outcome of this show. Especially is Mr. Harris and, for that matter, every Pythian in the city, pleased with the fine order maintained by Capt. R. E. Gee and his men throughout the two weeks the carnival was in progress. There was not a single disturbance within the park and during the whole time not an officer of the law was present, nor was one needed. The large crowds attending entered heartily into the spirit of the affair and when a person, though not participating in the fun, would have his or her mouth filled with confetti, he or she, as the case might be, would simply sputter and bear it. Quite a nice sum, considering the heavy expenses of an initial performance of this kind, was realized from the show. This will be applied to the payment of the indebtedness on the Pythian Temple. The Carnival Company went to Chattanooga, where it is showing at Luna Park, one of the colored parks of that city, for the benefit of the Pythians of Chattanooga. Miss John D. Thompson left Tuesday, September 8, for Knoxville, to take up her work as teacher in the Dumb School.

A physician who was called in stated that while the injuries were very painful, he did not think Mrs. Battle was seriously injured. At this writing the patient is much improved able to walk about the "I HAVE FOUGHT MY LAST BATTLE." Declared Joe Gans as He Was Being Counted Out by the Referee. Battling Nelson clinched his claim to the lightweight pugilistic championship by defeating Joe Gans for the second time at Colma Arena Thursday afternoon September 9. The fight ended beaten down by a succession of blows from his sturdy conqueror, failed to get upon his feet within the count of ten. The veteran fighter was severely punished, but the champion, too, bore the marks of battle. Gans succumbed in the twenty-first round after being unmercifully trounced. Nelson in this round rained right and left blows to jaw and body, and Gans sank to the floor. Mechanically the now defeated fighter watched Referee Eddie Smith wave his hands, apparently too far gone to hear him count. Not until the count of ten was finished did Gans attempt to rise. He realized, however, that it was too late and feebly declared: "I have positively fought my last battle." The fight was spectacular and at no time did it appear that Gans had a chance to win. Time and again he would shoot wicked punches to Nelson's face and body, but the latter never for an instant wavered. Falling to arrest the rushing champion, Gans seemed to lose heart, and gradually weakened, though he often rallied and fought back fiercely. Referee Smith, after the fight, gave out the following statement: "Gans was all in after the ninth round. In the twenty-first both the timekeeper and myself counted ten, therefore making Nelson the winner. Gans, I believe, did not know he was counted out, but it was just as well that he was, as Nelson had him completely at his mercy, and it was useless for the game colored man to take a further beating." When Gans was seen in his dressing room his face presented a terrible picture. His right eye was closed, the left partially so; his lips and nose were badly lacerated, and his face was puffed out like an inflated baloon. He gave out the following statement: "I made one fight too many. Nelson is a tough boy and beat me fairly. I will never fight again. This is no Patti farewell, but in dead earnest." Willie Keefe, one of Gans' seconds, said after the fight: "Gans was in after the ninth round. In the eleventh I begged him to allow me to toss the sponge into the ring. This he would not allow me to do, saying he preferred to be knocked out and would fight as long as he had strength to stand up. For eleven rounds Gans fought on his courage alone, as he could not land a damaging punch." Nelson said: "Gans was tougher than before. He was in good shape and fought me a different kind of a fight. From now on I will never fight a colored man again. I shook hands with Billy Papke today and we both made the compact. "I hurt my hand in the second round, but kept on going regardless of the pain." At 2 p.m. the ringside betting was even that Gans would not stay twenty rounds with Nelsen. Betting on the general result was brisk and steady at 10 to 6. Gans and Nelson weighed in stripped promptly at 2:30. Neither man moved the beam, which was set at the 133 pound notch. Nelson entered the ring at 2:30. Gans followed a minute later. The men tossed for corners, Gans winning. He chose the southwest corner with the sun at his back. Time was called at 3:01 p.m. The first round was in Gans' favor, though he took many hard blows about the face. Nelson forced Gans at every stage and drew first blood from the colored man's nose. The fourth round was about even with Nelson carrying the fight to Gans every moment. In the fifth round Gans had the advantage, landing repeatedly without a return and without stopping Nelson's rushes. Nelson wore a smile of confidence all through the round. The sixth was even with Nelson devoting his attention to Gans' body and landing an occasional good blow Gans had a decided advantage in the fighting of the seventh round, though the champion showed no ill effects from the many stiff blows he got. Nelson came right back and took the lead in the eighth. Hammering Gan's body. The ninth was also slightly in Nelson's favor. The tenth was even, but the eleventh was decidedly in Nelson's favor, and at its close Gans appeared very tired and his seconds worked vigorously over him. It looked at the close of the twelfth as if Nelson would win and that it was only a question of time until he got the decision. He wore the colored man down with his ceaseless rushes. Gans held Nelson off for a time, but just at the close of the round the TRY A MONOGRAM STEEL RANGE CAS, GASOLINE AND COAL OIL COOK STOVES At Jones & Hopkins Mfg.

Nelson was strong and confident, while Gans appeared to be tiring. The fourteenth round was even, Gans taking a brace and gave as good as he took from the rushing Dane. The fifteenth was the hardest of the fight up to this time. Gans caught Nelson with a terrific right on the mouth and nose and brought the blood in a stream. Both were bleeding freely as the round closed, but Gans appeared tired and his blows lacked force. To the surprise of the crowd in the sixteenth Gans rallied and battered Nelson about the face, with every variety of blows, taking a good lead for the round. The seventeenth was even, and the eighteenth was slightly in Nelson's favor. Gans appeared to be tiring at the close, but rallied in the nineteenth and staggered Nelson with several hard rights, taking the lead for the round. The tide of the battle turned strongly in Nelson's favor, in the twentieth and at its close it looked as if Gans would not be able to stand the pace much longer. Nelson fought in like a demon, landing some terrific blows on Gans' face and body, and defeat was written on Gans' face as he tumbled into his chair. NOTICE. The end came in the twenty-first round. Nelson sent in rights and left to the jaw which staggered Gans, and then delivered a rain of blows to the body and head. Gans (Continued on --- --- ```markdown ``` HILARY E. HOWSE. 304-306 BROADWAY.

TO THE PUBLIC. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation, which may appear in the columns of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All news matter sent us for publication must be written only on one side of the paper, and should be accompanied by the name of the author. The author's publication, but as an evidence of good faith, THE NEGRO AND POLITICS. The Chattanooga Daily Times, one of the best edited newspapers of America, in concluding an editorial in commendation of the Greater Nashville Edition of The Globe, makes the following statement: "The Globe demonstrates one thing clearly—Negroes who attend to their business, let politics alone and do not make themselves offensive by officious modelling in the affairs of white people, are progressing rapidly in the south." The Times is one of the fairest papers in the South on the race question and is right more often than otherwise in its conclusions on the much discussed "problem." The Times, however, falls into the usual fallacy when it says by inference that the Negro should let politics alone. The Negro should do nothing of the kind. The Negro more and more is becoming a taxpayer here in the South and as such is as vitally interested in the government of the city or county in which he may live as any other man. He pays the same tax-rate on what he possesses as any other citizen and he is as much concerned in the disposition of these taxes as anyone else. Instead of letting politics alone, the Negro should learn to register at the opening of the registration season, to pay his own poll tax, and vote with some intelligence as to his best interest in the local elections where permitted to do so. If the Negro would but learn to be his own political boss, allow no man to offer him a bribe for his vote, and to vote for men best qualified for office—men who will perform their every duty with justice and impartiality—many of the causes of friction between the two races would be removed. With the Negro not participating in politics the white man considers anything he may do towards giving the race some of the benefits of government as an act of charity—a case of noblesse oblige. He forgets that the Negro is paying taxes for those very benefits and many others which he does not receive. This should not be, and with an active, unpurchaseable, intelligent, independent, Negro electorate, men elected to office would regard their oath of office more than "color or previous conditions of servitude" in performing the duties for which they were elected. · STATE SCHOULS. Press dispatches state that Superintendent of Education, R. L. Jones, will ask the coming session of the state THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1908. legislature for $100,000 for the establishment of three Normal schools for the training of teachers. Since no special mention has been made that one of these schools is to be set apart for Negroes, we assume that *rrol*. Jones has in mind the building of all three schools for whites. We are in hearty sympathy with the educational campaign that is on in this state and hope that it will result in an increase in the length of the school term, better teachers at higher salaries and a reduction of illiteracy among all classes throughout the state. We hope the legislature which will be elected this November, will vote an increase of appropriation for educational purposes. But coming to Superintendent Jones' proposition, is it not time that a state Normal industrial and agricultural school should be established for the Negroes? An appropriation of $250,000 has been made by the state for the endowment of Peabody Normal School, another of $100,000 for the years of 1908-1909, for the University of Tennessee; $10,000 for the establishment of an experiment station in West Tennessee and besides these appropriations the general government is assisting the University of Tennessee through the Morrill Fund. Only white students can enjoy the fruits of these appropriations on account of the separate school law. During the time since all these appropriations were made, not one cent has been appropriated directly for the education of the Negro. It is about time in all justice and fairness, if more schools are to be constructed—and they should be built—that some consideration should be shown the colored youth. The state has been dealing liberally with its appropriations for the benefit of the whites, then why be parsamonious with the blacks? If the state is to receive the fullest returns from an improved educational system it must provide for all of its citizens without regard to any class distinction. One of these new schools recommended by Superintendent Jones—the one in Middle Tennessee where the whites have the Peabody Normal School with its million dollar endowment coming from the state, Davidson County, Nashville and the Peabody Trustee Board—should be for the use of the Negroes of the state. HARMONY The republicans of Tennessee have harmonized their differences. By the terms of the agreement G. N. Tillman, of the "office-holders" convention, becomes the party's candidate for governor and F. A. Raht, of the "home rulers," the candidate for railroad commissioner. The electors were evenly divided between the two factions and ten "home rulers" were added to the "office-holders'" state executive committee. The compromise, so it is stated, was engineered by Chairman Hitchcock of the National Republican Executive Committee. This harmonizing of the discordant elements was to have been expected. As we have pointed out heretofore, Tennessee with one republican candidate, and he a native of the state, ought to be classed in the list of doubtful states. For the republicans to have pursued any other course under the circumstances than the one they did would have been suicidal to the future welfare of the party. The national organization recognizes the popularity of Judge Taft in this state and will now doubtless make a great effort to carry the state for him. They may succeed. In the meanwhile the kind of harmony that exists in both parties is shown by Mr. Carmack, who as the editor of a democratic newspaper is doing his part to turn democratic votes to the republican ticket and candidate Tillman, who by his speeches, is driving Negro voters to the support of Patterson. An ex-member of the Mississippi legislature acknowledges that he organized and led the mob, which lynched a man at Oxford, in that state, this week. He boasts of the part he played in the affair and announced his willingness to suffer the consequences. This man, whose name is Sullivan, must have an eye on the governorship of Mississippi or, perhaps, he expects to oppose Vardaman for the next vacancy in the United States Senate. He has established his reputation with the "red necks" of his home state and they are ready to elect him to any office he may want. Two years ago the republicans had an excellent opportunity to carry Tennessee, but they were so anxious to get the disaffected democrats that they snubbed the Negro—a loyal supporter of the party since the franchise was granted him. This year the Negro is needed but it seems that Mr. Sanders does not know it. He and his candidate are still chasing the bubble of a white man's party. The bubble will be before them until November and then something will happen. The Negro vote will be the balance of power in Tennessee this year. Without it Mr. Tillman can not hope to be elected. At the present the colored brother seems very languid when the name of the republican candidate is mentioned. Mr. Tillman's opening speech, in which he intimates that he is glad to be rid of the Negro vote, has increased the number who will not stand for "illy whiteism" in the republican party. Poor old Joe Gans! He has fought the good fight. His course is now ended! For many years his star was in the ascendency but now that it has started on the downward course, it is hoped that he has saved enough of the bacon to keep from dying at a charitable institution as did George Dixon. Tennessee has a republican state executive committee composed of thirty members since the warring factions of the party have come together. One member of the committee is a Negro. Just think of it, twenty-nine to one! One would think judging by the proportion that the committee was elected by a democratic primary. COMMUNICATIONS. The Finis Walters Episode. To the Nashville Globe: Recently, so recently that it may be easily recalled to the memory of the readers of one of the daily papers of the city, a humane citizen, writing under the non de plume "An Unwilling Witness," told in a plain and unvarnished manner of a policeman's treatment of a colored man whom he had placed under arrest. He considered it brutal and said so without mincing words. The affair under comment took place on the wharf and owing to the victim being a Negro, it was thought that no further notice would be taken of it. But developments since have shown that such a view of the matter is erroneous. The case has been brought again before the public by what has been said through the newspapers recently by His Honor, the Mayor, and Mr. Jones. His Honor took cognizance of what Mr. Jones had written of the brutal beating of the prisoner and came out in an article stating that he had urged Mr. Jones to bring the matter properly before the Civil Service Commission, that the officer may be brought to trial, and that the latter has failed to do so. The language of the Mayor seems to attempt to convey the impression that there is not much foundation to what was written about the cruelty of the officer to prisoner, for he cites the names of several witnesses who, he says, refute and will refute what Mr. Jones has said. Mr. Jones follows the Mayor's communication with a pointed answer and positively states that he, too, has several witnesses who will bear out his version of the matter. After reiterating what he had said in his former article concerning the awful clubbing of the prisoner, Mr. Jones has this to say, which is taken from The American of August 26: "For the past several generations Mayor Brown's people have represented my people in various capacities, and more especially during the past two generations in a legal way. He comes from a long line of gentlemen in a true sense of the word. His father was a man of strong character and wonderful ability. His people, as have mine, have been large slaveholders, and it is surprising to me that he does not emulate their example by protecting a class of benighted people against the tyranny of touts, gamblers and loggerheads. "It has always been the business of my people to instruct his people as to how they wished things done, and ALL WE ASK IS TO GIVE US A TRIAL! ALL WE ASK IS TO GIVE US A TRIAL! If you need anything in our line, such as buying Merchandise or borrowing money. We assure you fair treatment and if you are dissatisfied with anything that you may purchase from us, return it and we will cheerfully refund the money. A. W.

Have your house wired, switch boards put in, combination fixtures hung, old gas fixtures cleaned and changed to combination For anything electrical on the globe, see the GLOBE ELECTRICAL CO., 420 Cedar Street it has then been their duty to do things in a legal way, which they have always done with a marked degree of success. Naturally, therefore, it should remain for me to say whether I shall prefer charges against the officer referred to in Tuesday's American in connection with the Finis Walters' case, or when I shall do so. When I do, then it will be his duty as a servant of the people, more subservient now than ever because of the office he holds, to see to it that the case is handled properly and the citizenship protected. "Those who know me know very well that my statements are correct beyond question, and in their opinion it is not necessary for me to prove anything. However, the case will be brought to the attention of the grand jury, and will be vigorously presecured for humanity's sake, and not for the individual. If Walters was injured by butting his head against a beam, it is strange that the top of his head should be split open." It is understood and clearly so, that the man, who, through his article and manly position in the matter, brought it before -the authorities, was actuated by the noblest motives that could arise in the breast of a worthy and justice-loving citizen. His duty, as it is every good citizen's when he sees a crime committed, whether by officer or other, was to speak out, and he spoke out and in no uncertain way at that. The value of such citizens, who have a high sense of justice and courage commensurate thereto is inestimable to any community in which they live. It was not the arrest, but the unnecessary beating of the unresisting prisoner that gave rise to the published protest. The American has the following to say about Mr. Jones' action in the case: "He has not yet decided whether he will bring charges before the Civil Service Commission in the case, as he is awaiting the advice of an attorney who is now out of the city. However, according to his statement, the matter of the alleged mistreatment of the Negro, Finis Walters, will be brought to the attention of the grand jury, and Walters will be represented by at least one attorney in the trial of the case. "Mr. Jones states that there were four men other than himself who saw the incident from the east bank of the river, and that they all agree with him as to every statement he made in his letter to the American. He declares that it would have been impossible for the witnesses of the occurrence on the west bank to have seen the incident, as the blows were struck behind a clump of bushes. He declares that the Negro was struck eight times on the body, besides the blows on the head." There is no necessity of an officer of the law, whose duty it is to maintain peace and order, resorting to his gun or billy to make an arrest when the alleged offender submits without resistance. To accost a man and almost brain him upon the instance is palpably wrong and lies outside the pale of reason, duty and manly courage. Offenders of the law must and ought to be taken in charge by those whose duty it is to do so, but then there is the way for doing this without accompanying the word of arrest with a bullet or a knockout blow with the "billy." No sympathy for nor extenuation of any misdemeanor or crime finds room in this communication. The position of "An Unwilling Witness" is the position here taken. There is no need of officers beating up those whom they wish to J. E. EDWARDS, Mgr.

Mr. Jones, who, through his public letter, called the attention of the authorities to the Walters' case, needs no encomium, for he simply performed his plain but conscientious duty as he saw it, and as a humane man and an honorable citizen. This is worth much to the community in that it turns the light on some erstwhile unnatural abuses. JADACEE. A CARD FROM MR. R. L. MAYFIELD. To the Nashville Globe: JADACEE. I notice in your issue of September 4, anent the debate between Mr. A. N. Johnson and myself that you pay quite a glowing tribute to my side of the debate in a manner that the facts, which you afterwards publish, do not justify. I am not at this writing able to divine your motive in the matter, and for that reason I am compelled to say it was done in good faith until the contrary is proven to me. I will give the Globe the privilege to make known through its columns that I will meet Mr. A. N. Johnson in a joint debate on the subject, which we were to debate, and which was only incidentally referred to by me, and was not referred to at all by Mr. Johnson, or I will debate the subject debated by Mr. Johnson on the evening of our debate. Any person present can verify the truthfulness of the assertion when I say that the subject we had chosen was not debated by Mr. Johnson. I am willing to meet Mr. Johnson at any time and place upon one week's notice. Yours. R. L. MAYFIELD. Nashville, Sept. 7, 1908. COMMENTS ON THE GREATER NASHVILLE EDITION OF THE GLOBE.

It-consists of twenty pages of well-prepared matter—editorial, local, miscellaneous and advertising—and which betokens enterprise and indus- try, as well as intelligence and skill on the part of editors and publishers, We are told in the “business an- nouncement” that the “matter of this great edition was written by Negroes, the type matter was set by Negro linotype operators, the ‘proofs’ were read by Negro proof-readers, the ‘ads’ set and the ‘forms’ ‘imposed’ by Ne- gro compositors, the presswork by Negro pressmen on presses owned, controlled and operated by a Negro in- stitution, the folding and gathering by Negroes, the mailing by the Globe foree, which, as every one knows, is composed exclusively of Negroes; in fact, it is a Negro production from beginning to end and will stand as a record-breaker for race productions.” The showing made for the Negroes of Nashville by this newspaper will be an eye-opener to our northern friends and the loyalty of its editors to the city and to its welfare and progress constitutes conclusive proof that the-industrious, law-abiding and self-respecting Negro finds his best and most fruitful development right here in the south, where he is best known and appreciated for his real worth—The Chattanooga Daily Times. has AN OUT-OF-TOWN SUBSCRIBER. Editor of The Nashville Globe: Your constituents at Columbia feel to congratulate you for your venture of the 4th inst. viz.: the great edi- tion of the Nashville Globe. It is hoped here that this progressive move- ment upon your part will receive at _the hands and hearts of a generous public all the honor and praise it just: ly merits. May the good results that shall come from your efforts be even more lasting and satisfactory than either you or your most sanguine friends and supporters had hoped for or entertained regarding it, and may it affect for good the manifold inter ests of our people, not only in you immediate neighborhood, but serve a: an uplift to the race generally. I! such indeed prove to be the case anc the circulation of your paper be in creased, and more than all else, ow people awakened to a higher sense 0 duty and responsibility to their bene factors and to each other, you ma: rest assured your labors will not hay been in vain.

Nothing but praise can be heard on the streets of Nashville concerning the “Greater Nashville Hdition” of the Globe, which appeared last Friday, September 4. The people had looked for this with the eagerness of a child looking forward to Christmas or to a birthday party, but they did not an- ticipate such a magnificent production in the way of a weekly journal, as they had not been favored with a treat of this kind before. Many of them could not imagine what a “Greater Nashville Edition” meant. They had Seen special issues of other papers and Magazines, but curiosity was rampant concerning the Globe's edition. But this has all passed off. The fete has been accomplished. Nothing now but expressions of praise and plaudits for the effort can be heard. The Globe reporters have been complimented by quite a number of citizens—men in a position to know when a thing is well done. On Sunday, Sept. 6, at three services Rey. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, sald to his con- Sregation, “I want to congratulate the young men of Nashville who are get- ting out the only secular paper in the city for our people, upon the wonder- ful achievement they have made in bringing out the Greater Nashville Edition of the Nashville Globe. I want my people, the members of my church, to encourage these laudable ef- forts, and the only way to encourage them is to take one of these papers. You should have one in your home. It becomes a matter of history. It shows up the business side of Nash- ville,” é eee Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, Dean of the Meharry Medical College, said to a Globe representative: “I want to com- pliment you on the magnificent paper you brought out this week. I have looked over it carefully. It is a fine issue. I think the Company needs to be encouraged.” Dr. S. W. Crosthwaite to a Globe representative: “Your last issue was by far the best newspaper ever pub- lished in Nashville by our people, and I want to compliment you on the same. Send me some extra copies that 1 may send out to my friends.” sae Dr. C. V. Roman to a Globe repre- sentative: “The mechanical construc- tion, as well as the general make up of your paper last week was a rare treat. I have looked the paper over carefully and the more I read it the more I become impressed with your ef. forts. May you continue to succeed, and I believe you will, because your company is made up of aggressive, en- terprising men.” Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary National Baptist Publishing Board; “I wish every business man in Nashville iden- tified with the race had taken some part in the issue of your paper last week, as it was by far the best effort Ihave seen put forth during my twelve years’ stay in Nashville by a Negro newspaper. In fact, I do not recall anything ever attempted that Was more successful, and showed up the Negro side of a city to a greater advantage.” Prof. R. C. Childress, of the Phil- ander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark: “I have in to-day’s mail a copy of the Nashville Globe, of September 4, 08. Lam real glad to get it and note with satisfaction the material progress of the Negroes of Nashville,” ie. ee nen DUP. 9, JONG. To the Editor: Dear Sir:—I have examined with pleasure and interest the Greater Nashville Edition of the Globe, and can say that it is unique in every par- ticular. I feel quite sure it has set a high standard in colored journalism. The many readers will keep the Great. er Nashville Edition as a valuable sou- venir for years that are to come, 1 personally congratulate you and all concerned for giving to the reading public such a clean, first-class and newsy edition, Surely the Globe has reached its highwater mark, Wish- ing you continued success in your newspaper career, T am Respectfully, | JASPER T. PHILLIPS, Rev, J. L. Harding, Walsenburg, “Having been a delighted reader of the Globe since the beginning of its voyage upon the journalistic sea, and while it has come to port regularly, bringing fifty-two. cargoes of clean and wholesome mental food per year, and each issue has done credit to the Progressive and enterprising manage- ment, I feel compellew t> say that this “Greater Nashville Edition ” ts the climax, for it is a racial journal- istie contribution to the material progrss of th city and every Negro that reads it. will doubtless be en- couraged. Wherever I am on_ the globe, be sure to send mé The Globe.” COMMUNION SETS. THE LORD'S SUPPER.

Compliments That Have Reached Nashville from Two States on the “Greater Nashville Edition” of The Globe. C. A. Dickson, of ‘Buffalo, N. Y.: “L received the special edition of the Nashville Globe yesterday, which I have as yet only casually glanced over, but I think it a high-class pro- duction and one for which you and as- sociates are entitled to the greatest praise.” Miss Helen Alston MeAlpine, of Selma, Ala.: “IT must congratulate the Globe force upon the ‘Greater Nashville Edition’ of their paper. I spent half of the day reading it, and never found one dull or uninteresting column in the whole paper. The Globe is thor- oughly alive to the interest of the people. I trust that this issue of the paper may mark the beginning of a new era of its success.” eee These compliments have not been confined to the men or the profession. Ladies have been loud in their praise. ‘The issue seemed to have met the gen- eral approval of every citizen in Nash- ville. Thousands of copies have left the city going to all parts of the United States. Many of them went to South, Central and West Coast Africa, Some to the Philippine Islands, some to Cuba and others to the West Indies. Hence the first “Greater Nashvill Edition” of the Globe scores a wonder ful victory and marks the advent of ¢ metropolitan weekly in “Greater Nash- ville.” PLEASANT DINNER PARTY.

He drove him to the ropes. Gans finally dropping to the mat, more from weakness than from the force of the blows. He tried to get up within the ten seconds, but was slow and was counted out. The New York World, unlike every other newspaper in New York, save the Evening Post, never fails to ring out a clear note when it talks on right and liberty, justice, equity and mercy. Last week the World took up the convict camps of the South, and with accustomed vigor and refreshing frankness laid the ways and genius of them bare. All of what the World said we have reprinted in another place. But there is one sentence which so aptly and fully and completely tells the story of the camps of brutality and sin and vice and slavery as to merit especial punctuation. According to the World, "There would be no convict-lease system in any State of the South if it were not that most of the prisoners are colored." It is even so. And it is even more so, as the World adds: "Slavery under the humanity of the average planter was merciful compared to the prison drudge." We do no know how long the Nation will neglect to inquire into his new and brutal slavery at the South, but God knows its shame; He will show forth His mercy in His own time and way. No form of imprisonment in the past, go as tar back as records reach, equalled the wickedness and vulgar persecution of the convict camps of Georgia and Alabama, made up principally of men and women whose greatest offense is in their color and the condition of their fathers.—National Review.

The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People, at 514 Stevenson avenue, have suffered a severe loss in the death of one of the most beloved of their congregation, Sister Mary of the Assumption, who fell asleep in Christ on September 2 at St. Thomas Sanitarium, after an illness of five weeks. The funeral services were held in chapel of the convent on Friday morning, September 4, and the interment was at Calvary Cemetery. The colored people of Nashville showed their esteem for the deceased Sister by a large representation at the funeral services, and also by kind and helpful offices to the afflicted survivors who return grateful acknowledgments. Their sympathy thus testified in the hour of need drew from the hearts of the Sisters the fervent invocation of God's blessing upon them. May his love, surpassing all earthly compensation, be the inestimable reward of their services. ANOTHER NASHVILLIAN SECURES AN EXCELLENT POSITION. Miss Flossie A. Davis holds the position of assistant principal in the city schools of Indianapolis, having efficiently served as a substitute for six months. She is a graduate of the Nashville public schools and also of the normal department of Fisk University, having finished with honors in the class of 1907. Miss Davis was conceded to be the elocutionist of her class. Her many friends wish for her much success in her new field of labor. REV. MR. MATTHEUS GOES TO CHICAGO. The rumor of Rev. S. A. Mattheus' resignation as pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church has been confirmed. It was at the Baptist Ministers' Union on Monday morning that he offered his resignation as president of the Baptist City Ministers' Union, to take effect in short, where the rumor was confirmed. Rev. Mr. Mattheus goes to take charge of a very prosperous church in the city of Chicago. His labors here have been very successful. It will be remembered that he assumed the pastorate of Mount Zion while the members worshiped in the basement. They have succeeded by his wise counsel in erecting the main auditorium. Rev. Mr. Mattheus succeeded Rev. Mr. Mason as pastor of this church. This will leave two very prominent Baptist churches without a pastor, as Rev. Mr. Harding, of North Third Avenue Baptist Church, is still in Colorado, and now the vacancy at Mt. Zion will further complicate the work of the Baptists in the city. A set of resolutions, expressing regret at Rev. Mattheus having to leave the city was ordered brought in at the next meeting. A committee to this effect was appointed. MR. NAPIER AT HOME.

Miss Jordan left the city last Friday for Ocala, Fla., where she will be employed in a school run by the state. Miss Jordan, like her mother, who runs a school of millinery, is an expert milliner and it is on this line that most of her duties in her new position will fall. Miss Jordan is very popular among the social set and her absence will be keenly felt by her many associates. Club No. 2 met recently at the home of Rev. D. D. Venerable, 19 Trimble street.

He left about August 15, to attend the National Negro Business League, which met in Baltimore. From there he went to New York and thence to Huntington, L. I., for a short vacation to get some much-needed rest. On his trip home he was taken violently ill, being compelled to remain over in Washington for more than a week, where he was under the care of the best physicians. His condition was at one time considered critical. For more than twenty-four hours a fever stood at 104. Fortunately, Mrs. Napier was with him and nursed him through his illness. As soon as he was able to travel he started home and reached the city Tuesday morning. Other than his illness he reports having had a profitable trip, in that he saw the greatest session of the Business League that was ever held. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY AND EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY.
