THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. National Baptists Meet at Lexington, Kentucky This Week. REV. E. G. MORRIS, PRESIDENT, OPENS CONVENTION. CHAUTAUQUA HALL CROWDED—THOUSANDS OF DELEGATES FROM ALL PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES — CORDIAL WELCOME ADDRESSES—MAYOR SKAIN SPEAKS—REV. MR. HARRIS RESPONDS — PRESIDENT'S 14TH ANNUAL ADDRESS. Lexington, Ky., September 16. The greatest of all, the largest of any its predecessors, is the pronounced verdict of all, that witnessed the opening exercises of the twenty-eighth annual session of the National Baptist Convention, which convened in this city to-day at half past ten o'clock. The convention was called to order by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President, who has filled the position for thirteen consecutive years, having last year Washington been re-elected animously. The delegation is unusually large. Since last Thursday e advance guard has begun to arrive, fact some reached the city as early Mo. last week, as Rev. Mr. national Musical director, has charge of the song services and a special chorus of one hundred voices, been here since that time. The Convention met in Chautauqua Hall, the largest of its kind in this part of Kentucky. Thousands of delegates from all parts of the United States coming in shendid cars and on special trains, make this the largest id best session, the Convention ever witnessed—the one at Washington last year not an exception. The devotional exercises, following the call of the President, were conducted by Rev. J. H. Wynn, of Texas, and Rev. G. W. Wyatt, of Ohio. "The Leadership of the Spirit," was their theme. Then came the long list of welcome addresses. The first was on behalf of the Baptists of Lexington, by Rev. E. W. Hawthorne, D. D., who is also chairman of the National Entertainment Committee; the next was on behalf of the State by Gov. Augustus E. Wilson; on behalf of the Colored Baptists of the State by Rev. John H. Frank, D. D.; on behalf of the white Baptists of the city, Rev. J. W. Porter, D. D., pastor of the Airst Baptist Church; on behalf of the citizens of the city, Mayor John H. Skain; on behalf of the colored citizens of Lexington, Dr. W. H. Ballard; on behalf of the educational institutions and Negro school teachers, Prof. G. P. Russell; on behalf of the sister denominations of the city, Rev. C. C. Townsend; on behalf of the local executive committee, Rev. J. W. Hawkins, D. D.; on behalf of the Lexington Ministers' Meeting, Rev. R. T. Frye, A. M., B. D. Response to the welcome addresses by Rev. D. H. Harris, D. D., of Chicago, Ill. This took the entire morning. It was past one o'clock before the Convention adjourned. anirl he During the opening exercises trains Jim every direction brought more legates. It is almost impossible to estimate the arrivals to-day. They come not only on the trains, but on three trolley lines connecting this city with Louisville. Long before the devotion of the afternoon session, which was led by Rev. P. A. Callahan, of Florida, and Rev. R. Kemp, of South Carolina, whose themes were "Loyalty to Christ," the hall was crowded because at this session the President's annual address was to be delivered. This is one of the most important occasions of the meeting, as it is known that he presides over the largest body of Christian workers in the race. It was 2:40 p. m. before Dr. E. C. Morris arose to make his address. Prominent visitors from all the denominations crowded the platform and each listened in breathless silence as he began. Dr. Morris said, in part, as follows: Fe^w Comrades;—In rising to NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1908. M. CAPT. JOHN T. SHELBY. Captain John T. Shelby wishes to tender his thanks to the host of friends who so heartily co-operated with him in contesting for the prize given by the East Nashville Dramatic Club. "Out in the Streets," a three-act drama, at the Spruce Street Baptist Church on Monday night, Sept. 14, was produced for the benefit of the church. The prize for the one award- ed to Capt. number of the contestant w Mr. Shelby, 40. He wished the K. of P. the and Ju for their no Captain Two No 8. East address you upon this important occasion, I am deeply impressed with the tremendous responsibility of the hour. For fourteen consecutive years you have required me to come before you to delive what is called the annual address o. the president of your Convention; and for as many years you have with unanimity bitherto unknown to deliberate bodies, accepted in the most part these addresses as an outline of the policy to be pursued by the Convention; and, I may add, that with the same unanimity of action you have seen fit to elect me to preside over the deliberations of this great Convention. I would show myself less than human if I did not feel, yea, express my very high appreciation of the honors conferred and confidence expressed by such action, and, yet, I must say that I feel myself very unworthy of the many notable distinctions which you have thrust upon me. "To attempt to pilot an organization like the National Baptist Convention, which is the most conspicuous representative of the religious life of the ten million Negroes in this country, is a very great task, and one which requires more than human strength and wisdom to direct. "Our meeting here to-day is an evidence that an unerring Providence watches over us, and often overrules our plans and purposes. When we closed the meeting one year ago it was our most sanguine hope that this session of the Convention would be held in the great metropolis of our country—New York City—but unforseen conditions arose which made it necessary to bring the meeting to this beautiful city, situated almost in the center of the great state of Kentucky, and in the very heart of the famous bluegrass region about eleven hundred feet above the sea level, where we can enjoy for a few days the pure atmosphere and genuine hospitality of the 'Old Kentucky Home.' "I congratulate you, and, indeed, our race upon the fact that we have given more attention to the religious life of our people than any other phase of their life. It is sometimes said that the Negro is too religious and that he has given too much time and money to religious organizations, but, in my opinion, no better foundation could have been laid for the future of the race than that which has been laid—Christianity. Nor has the task been an easy one; for while the ministers of the Gospel have been proclaiming aloud to the people to 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God,' the politician and many of the professional men of the race have endeavored to lead the people into the notion of making Christianity a side issue, to be used only at convenient seasons. I hope you do not underestimate your success, and the wonderful influence you have over the people; and since the foundation has been well and properly laid, that you will exercise your great influence in building thereon. "The millions of dollars invested in (Continued on Page 3.) ed to Capt. Shelby was $25.00. The number of tickets disposed of over his contestant was 215. Money raised: Mr. Shelby, $72.50; Mr. Lyons, $51.40. He wishes to express thanks to the K. of P. Lodges, Courts of Calanthe and Juveniles of East Nashville for their noble efforts in this contest. JOHN T. SHELBY, Captain Twentieth Century Company No 8, East Nashville. FIRST ANNUAL EXHIBITION Tennessee Colored Fair Association Has Auspicious Opening. GOVERNOR PATTERSON DELIVERS AN ADDRESS. MAYOR BROWN AND JUDGE POLLARD ALSO SPEAK—HAPPY RESPONSES BY REV. S. E. GRIGGS AND DR. ROMAN—LADIES' AUXILIARY HAS WORKED WELL HQRSE SHOW AT NIGHT WITH TOURNAMENT A CREDITABLE FEATURE. The first annual exhibition of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association is now going on at Greenwood Park. The attendance, considering the fact that the fair is a venture into fields hitherto untried by the Negroes of Nashville and Davidson County, is excellent and gives promise of improvement as the week progresses. The opening day of the fair was designated as Nashville and Davidson County Day. On Tuesday a parade, which formed on Cedar street, marched through the principal business streets of the city and later proceeded to Greenwood Park. The parade was a very creditable affair. The officers of the association, members of the women's auxiliary, Company G, a detachment of police and numerous citizens were in the long line. The association had offered a prize for the best decorated vehicle that should enter the parade. The prize went to Mrs. George O. Boyd, Jr. The real opening of the Fair occurred in the afternoon when Governor Patterson, Judge Wm. Pollard, Sheriff Borum and Mayor James S. Brown were present and delivered addresses in behalf of the respective parts of the local and state government of which they are representatives. The special carriage containing the Governor and the other guests was met by the Marshal of the Day and General Manager of the Fair, Mr. J. B. Bosley. He was assisted by four aides. These with Company G formed a special escort and the distinguished guests were escorted to the speakers' stand. Hon. J. C. Napier, the president of the association, presided throughout the exercises. He, in a very appropriate manner explained the object of the fair and in concluding introduced to the audience, Gov. M. R. Patterson. Previous to the address of the Governor a quartette from Fisk University rendered the "Old Kentucky Home." This met with such hearty applause that the quartette gave an encore: "Mamy's Lil' Lamb." Governor M. R. Patterson, as "a representative of the whole state," delivered a short address in which he spoke encouragingly to those present of the progress made by the Negro race. Gov. Patterson said that he was a Southern man, born in a Southern state with all the prejudices of a Southern man, but he was a friend to the Negro so long as he obeyed the law. He, like all true Southerners wants to help the Negro to better his condition, and he was glad to note the evidence of progress as shown at the fair. God had placed the white man and the black man here, the Governor declared, and it was left for the races to work out their own destiny. The Governor said much more in the same strain, meeting the hearty applause of his audience when he had finished. Nashville was represented by Mayor James S. Brown, who spoke much on the line of Governor Patterson except that he branched off to argue that Abraham Lincoln was no better friend to the Negro than many others not considered so. Judge Pollard spoke in behalf of Davidson County. The responses to the speeches of the representatives of the different branches of the local government were peculiarly fitting. For this task two of the best speakers of the city were called in the persons of Rev. Sutton E. Griggs and Dr. C. V. Roman. Both of these gentlemen are noted for their oratorical abilities, and both upheld their reputation. The speeches were happy efforts in which fitting replies were made to the addresses of the previous speakers. Some of the most diligent workers for the success of the fair have been the women. Under the leadership of Mrs. Preston Taylor, the president of the women's auxiliary many of the most creditable collections on exhibition have been brought together. Mrs. Taylor in addressing the association on the work of the women spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Members of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association, Ladies and Gentlemen: "We the Auxiliary of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association congratulate and greet you on this your first effort to hold a fair. From the beginning the women of our association have done all in our power to aid and abet your undertaking. The women of our organization have felt for a long time the need of some effort of this character to exhibit the skiii and handiwork of our men, the deft and artistic tastes of our women, and even the aptness with which our children take to anything pertaining to manual training. "When we formed our association we wrote to the larger portion of the counties of our state. From some we received prompt and encouraging replies, but from others we have heard nothing of this day. The outlook has not been bright but these faithful women have worked zealously, refusing to be discouraged. As a result we present to you the exhibit below, hoping you can at least realize some thing of the effort we have put forth to procure even this exhibit. In turning over our commission and the keys, we wish to thank your association for courtesies shown us. We also wish to thank all friends and citizens who have in any way assisted us or have been a well-wisher to our undertaking. I wish also at this time to thank all the ladies of our association who have done so much publicly and personally towards supporting me in the discharge of the arduous duties of chairman of this auxiliary." At the night performances the horse show, under the direction of J. Frank Battle and C. N. Langston, has been a meritorious production. Free exhibitions of acrobatic work and the acting of the contortionist were pleasing features of the show. The tournament in which riders on fast moving horses catch or attempt to catch rings suspended from poles, has brought to the night show a number of skilled horsemen. The exhibits are indeed a credit to the Association considering the fact that this is its first effort in giving a fair. The attendance has increased daily and by the time the fair comes to a close it is expected that the park will be crowded. Some of the awards made up to our (Continued on Page 7.)

EAST NASHVILLE DRAMATIC CLUB SCORES A GREAT HIT PLAYERS ACQUIT THEMSELVES WITH HONOR CROWDED HOUSE GREETS COMPANY WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY BE REPEATED AT AN EAST SIDE CHURCH. One hundred thirty-eight dollars and twenty cents was the handsome sum realized at Spruce Street Baptist Church on Monday night, Sept. 14, from the sacred drama, "Out-in-the-Streets," rendered by the East Nashville Dramatic Club. Mr. J. T. Shelby, of East Nashville, was the successful contestant for the prize of $25.00. His envelope contained $72.50; Mr. Lyon's envelope contained. $51.60. Total door receipts, $124.10; received from refreshments, $14.10; grand total received. $138.20. Mr. Lyons was awarded the second prize of $10. Both contestants certainly deserve much praise for the way in which they worked. Not a murmur of dissatisfaction in any way was heard during the entire evening. The beautiful auditorium of Spruce Street Baptist Church was completely filled with anxious friends from all over the city. Many persons of distinction dotted the audience here and there and the occasion will long be remembered as a society event as well as a high-class church entertainment. The East Nashville citizens were out in round numbers attesting to the popularity of the Dramatic Club and also the East Nashville contestant. One beautiful trait follows the East Nashville people and that is the spirit of "unity." They are noted for patronizing each other in all kinds of business and taking an interest in the welfare of each other. Mr. Shelly could never fall with East Nashville at his back. Mr. Shelly is a son of East Nashville, and is a thorough going, highly honored citizen. He stands high in all the secret societies on the East Side and is loved by all. The Dramatic Club is composed of Hon. A. N. Johnson, as Director; Mrs. A. M. Townsend, Manager; Mrs. J. T. Shelby, Miss Floy Darrell, little Laura Carter, Messrs. Will Davis, Will Davis, Ernest Alexander, William Stockell, Geo. Darden, Thos. Allison and Jno. H. Overton, with Mrs. Josie E. Henderson and Miss M. E. V. Reed as musical specialists. The Club anticipates the rendering of several high class plays during the fall and winter. They anticipate for their next study another sacred drama, called "Broken Promises." The manager has been constantly requested to repeat "Out-in-the-Streets." Several churches on the East side are anxious for a night and also several churches in the city. The club will meet Tuesday night at the residence of the manager to decide whether to repeat the last drama or take up a new one. Mr. Lyons deserves special credit for the amount of money he raised in his first effort. He is a young man of great Christian strength, and bears the reputation of being polite, honest and courteous to all. He is highly spoken of by both white and colored; and Spruce Street Baptist Church is very proud of his membership. The solos, duets and instrumental pieces rendered by Mesdames Henderson and Woolfork, Misses Carter and Reed and the reading by Miss Lizzie Stockell were highly enjoyed. Miss Geneva Bender rendered beautiful music during the rendition of the drama. The stage setting and scenery were simply beautiful. Those who missed this most excellent performance may have another chance to see it in the near future, for those who have seen it once, wish to see it again. Nearly 700 people were present on Monday night. Miss Marie McKinney Singleton, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton, gave an "At Home" Monday afternoon in honor of her ninth birthday. It was an al fresco affair and the little lady received her guests on the lawn, where seats and swings had been placed. The girls of the party played croquet while the boys played ball in a back lot. Late in the afternoon the children were ushered into the dining-room, where a palatable menu was served from a beautifully decorated table which had for its centerpiece a Battenberg square over red, on which was placed a silver plate holding the birthday cake. This was suspended from the chandelier by streamers of red baby ribbon. The color scheme of red and white was carried out in the menu and decorations. The souvenirs were bags of white crepe paper filled with candy and tied with red ribbon. Many useful and valuable presents were received by the young nostess. Mesdames Singleton, J. W. Bostic, F. A. Stewart, G. E. Washington, D. A. Hart and Miss Sarah Jones chaperoned the following little folks: Misses Ellizabeth Fite, Aileen Hall, Bertha and Alma Dunn, Annie Stewart, Sanoma Tally, Connie King, Ruth and Pauline Crosstwaite, Ruth Upshaw, Cerela Brown, Alberta Wat GEO.

The Nashville Globe, a colored weekly, has issued a Greater Nashville edition which not only advertises the resources of this city, but testifies strikingly to the progressive spirit behind this publication. Very properly the Globe lays special stress on the business enterprises of its race and their growth and prosperity in Nashville are outlined very interestingly in this edition."—The Nashville Tennessean. *** Displays Great Enterprise. "The Globe, of Nashville, Tenn., displayed great enterprise in getting up its Greater Nashville edition September 4, consisting of 24 pages. It contained cuts, advertisements of the leading and most progressive colored business men and women in Nashville, and all in all it reflected great credit on its brilliant editor. J. O. Battle, and his associates."—The Chicago Broad Ax. *** From the Far Northwest. "The Nashville Globe, Nashville, Tenn., one of the few race papers of the South that tells the white men of their faults in a fearless and bold manner, comes to our office this week in a handsome illustrated edition, which is not only a credit to its editor and the state but to Negro journalism."—The Portland (Oregon) Advocate. * * * Nashville Globe Special Edition. "We tip our hat to the Nashville Globe for such a creditable trade edition September 4th. We point with pride to the following clipping taken from the special edition: "Nashville's people realize that Negro doctors can best understand the conditions and individualities of Negro people and best administer to gro people and best administer to suffering illis and sympathize with them in their labors and distresses. With these objects in view, for the most part, they now prefer the services of their own doctor. In communities where our people carry out the principles of employing Negro doctors, the statistics as filed in the office of the health department of the city show that the mortality in such communities is far less than where other conditions obtain. This goes to prove that our people in such communities get the very best service from experienced and well-prepared Negro physicians, and that they are not merely objects for practice and experiments for those who are not interested in their welfare further than for clinical purposes. "We can say the same here, but, of course, we have not so many medicos as Nashville, but our people have the race pride O. K."—The Jacksonville (Fla.) Standard. * * * From a Missourian. Mr. Chas. H. Calloway, a former resident of Nashville, a graduate of Fisk and the Law Department of the University of Minnesota, a young man who is playing a prominent part in the campaign to win the colored voters of the doubtful states to Taft, writes in part as follows: "I wish to congratulate you upon the excellent paper that you published last week. The Nashville Globe towers above all others and if you continue your policies it will only be a short time before you will have the best colored paper published in the country." *** The following is an extract from a letter written by Miss Lottie Williams, of Richmond, Va., on the "Greater Nashville Edition" of the Globe: "Since first reading of the intention of the Globe Publishing Company to issue a 'Greater Nashville Edition,' I have waited with bated breath and curiosity all afire, for its appearance. I was not disappointed. Indeed, the showing made for Nashville citizens of color is a great one, second only to our own Richmond (Virginia). I think the Globe is the strongest paper I ever read." DAVIDSON COUNTY INSTITUTE. The teachers of Davidson County met last Saturday and organized their monthly institute for the school year. Upon each face was an expression of pleasure and purpose in assembling, after having been separated in vacation for about four months. The meeting was called to order by Prof. W. H. Card, and all arose and sang, "Stand up for Jesus." Prayer was then offered by Prof. R. G. Rideout, after which it was ordered that each retiring officer make an official report of his office, whereupon the reports of Secretary and Treasurer were called The report of these two officers, under management of Miss Maggie Ham and Mrs. Sallie Thompson, showed that a reasonable financial interest had been taken in the work by the teachers, and with quite a fair and encouraging balance on hand.

Wills, sent to the Nashville Globe ahis week a letter from Pass Christian, Miss. The writer of the letter is Mrs. Victoria Hullum. The lady in question has reasons to believe that she has in Nashville some relatives, or that some one in and about Nashville can assist her in finding her relatives. The Globe takes pleasure in producing the following letter of inquiry: "I am inquiring for relatives; of a family of people by the name of Young. There was a brother who has been away from the family for some years by the name of William Wigg Young. He left home during the emancipation and went to New Orleans on a United States ship as inspector. I am his daughter. Hence I am inquiring for his people. He left a mother, two sisters and a brother, as far as I can remember. He served in the United States Army. I would be thankful for any information leading up to his whereabouts from the people of Nashville. My name before I married was Victoria Young. Would thank anybody for any information leading up to relatives of the parties described. Address me Mrs. Victoria Hullum, Pass Christian. Miss." The formal opening of Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Department of Walden University will be held at the Meharry Auditorium, Wednesday, September 23, at 3 p.m. A special invitation is extended to all the preachers of the city to be present.

TURNER SAVES LITTLE GRL'S LIFE. It was incorrectly stated in the Banner that Vavan Cook, the little girl who was run over by a Jefferson street car, was a colored girl. The child was white and the daughter of Jim Cook, a well-known citizen of North Nashville. After being struck by the car the child was dragged some seventy feet, but was just in time rescued by Mr. Frank Turner, colored, who pulled her from under the wheels. This is the second heroic act of Mr. Turner, he having only a short time ago saved the life of Joe Crump, who had fallen into the Cumberland River. Mr. Turner when seen by a Globe representative said that it was a case that demanded quick action. He said when he reached the child the guard bar of the car had her pinned hard to the rail. He rushed under the car and with one shoulder forced the bar up and picked the almost lifeless child up in both hands. She was badly bruised and a minute's delay meant certain death. AN ALABAMA WEDDING. We are in receipt of an invitation announcing the approaching marriage of Miss Ellen Athletee Wimbs to Mr. Ernest Somerville on Wednesday morning, September 23, at half-past eight o'clock. The ceremony is to be performed at the Salem Baptist Church in the city of Greensboro, Ala., in which both contracting parties reside. The bride-to-be is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ad Wimbs. Her father is very prominent in the State. One time he was private secretary to ex-Governor Sea. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Alabama and prominent in politics. The groom is a business man of Greensboro, a baker and prosperous merchant, having an excellent business in the city. They will be at home after September 23 at Greensboro. TEXAS WEDDING There will be a wedding in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, September 30, 1908, the contracting parties being Miss Elizabeth Reese and Mr. David C. Johnson. The ceremony will take place at the Second Baptist Church, the largest church in the city. This fact was made known by an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Reese of that city. Mr. Reese is a brother of the bride-to-be. He is the most progressive business man of the race in that city, the proprietor of a large drug store, and the proprietor of the largest and most up-to-date barber shop in the city. He also owns much valuable real estate in the metropolis of Texas. MILLER—ALEXANDER. At the home of the bride's father, Mr. George D. Alexander, a limited number of relatives and close friends witnessed the marriage Tuesday evening of Miss Lizzie Alexander, of this city, to Dr. Edgar W. Miller, of South Carolina. Miss Mamie Braden played the wedding march and Rev. T. W. Johnson, pastor of Clark Memorial Church, performed the ceremony at 7 o'clock, after which ices were served. At 11:30 the young couple left for Jackson, Tenn., where they will make their home. TAPP—JAMISON. On Wednesday evening, September 16, at St. Andrew's Manse, Mr. Drew Tapp and Miss Nellie Jamison were joined in wedlock by Rev. Spencer Jackson, pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Eighth avenue and Gay street. Immediately after the ceremonies Mr. and Mrs. Tapp left for Chicago on their bridal tour. MITCHEL—FRANKLIN Mr. Authur M. Mitchell, of 84 Green street and Miss Mattie Alice Franklin, of 78 Claiborne street, were quietly married at the home of Rev. Luke Mason on Monday evening, September 14, at 9:30 o'clock. ANNOUNCEMENT. The marriage of Mr. Isham Smith and Miss Anna Lofton was solemnized at the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. A. Lofton, 914 Shankland street, on Wednesday, September 9. Owing to the recent death of her mother, the family only was present. IN MEMORY OF MAGGIE. A shadow steals across our way, While tears obtrusively flow; Sad hearts with poignant grief display Our agony and woe. We miss that dear, that lovely face, Transformed by power above; And in each ling'ring memory trace Some symbol of our love. Who, who, sad heart, shall dare re- prove The soul by sorrow prest? Can grief allay or tears remove The anguish from the breast? Nor can the heap of glittering wealth, The hoard of centuries old; E'er serve to banish or repress The grief our souls enfold. Adorned in heavenly raiment clear, Resplendent as the sun; In visions and in dreams appears Our saintly darling one. While pain and grief and anguish deep, No human force may move. There is a Balm of Gilead sweet, Which all our sorrows soothe. Then, on the Everlasting Arm We all may safely cling; Nor feel afraid but safe from harm, Jehovah's praises sing. Sleep on, dear one, and take thy rest, Thy earthly labor done; And safely on the Savior's breast Rejoice—the battle's won. When in the mansions of the blest A ransomed group we meet, To live, to love and be at rest, We'll hold communion sweet. J. H. KELLY. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1908. 28TH ANNUAL CONVENTION. (Continued from Page 1.) church edifices, and the thousands of dollars spent by and through the church for the support of Christian schools, and the thousands spent for the training of men and women for Christian service, is the best evidence of the success of the real leaders of the people—the ministers. "I wish to urge upon you the importance of resisting with all the powers of mind and soul the present day inclination to so modernize Christianity as to strip it of all the fires of enthusiasm and make of it a cold, frozen bundle of relies of the past which have lost their value. Your position and achievements have set you forward as the world's greatest benefactors, and as the race's most successful professional men and you can well afford to point with pride to the achievements of the Negro ministry since the emancipation of our race in this country. "Nothing short of the great judgment morning will disclose the many heartaches and privations borne by the men who have been the foundation builders of a race of people in a country like ours." He touched upon many important points dealing with national affairs as effecting the Negro Baptists. "Much Patience Needed," was one subject that he dwelt long upon, and the next was "The progress of the race." Then came "The Baptist World's Alliance," and from there to "Denominational Growth;" then "Economical Conditions," winding up on "Mobs and Anarchy." Not one of these escaped due consideration. After the President's address, remarks were made by Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., and then came the report of the Educational Board by Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D., Corresponding Secretary. Adjournment was then taken for the night session. The night session opened promptly at 6:30, the devotion being conducted by Rev. T. W. Walker, D. D., of Alabama, and Rev. J. D. Zuber, of Mississippi. Their theme was "God's Approval of the Year's Work." The annual sermon of the convention was preached at 8 p. m. by Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., of Memphis. Then came a long announcement of the various committees. SECOND DAY. Sept. 17. The delegates were tardy in reaching Chautauqua Hall this morning to open the second's day's session of the Convention. They showed plainly the results of the long ride which many of them were forced to take. They are here from Oregon, California, the Dakotas, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and California. The Convention proper did not open until ten o'clock; although Rev. A. W. Bryant, of Valdosta, Ga., and Rev. C. D. Griffin, of North Carolina, had opened the devotional exercises at 9:15. Secretary Hudson did not read the journal of the previous day's session until forty-five minutes later. At 10:30 the report of the Baptist Young People's Union Board, with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., was made. The Secretary of the Board, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., had a well printed report, which was circulated in the audience while the reading was going on. Dr. Isaac is one of the brainy men of the Convention, especially noted for his eloquence on the lecture platform and his editorial writings in the Baptist national paper, known as the National Baptist Union. Dr. Isaac has been Secretary of this Board eight years. His report showed an active year's work, although his health has been failing considerably. The report showed that the number of young people's unions had steadily increased and that the amount of money collected and expenses for he development of the work were slightly in excess of that collected last year. The discussion of the Educational Board's report was taken up about 12 o'clock AFTERNOON SESSION. The feature of the afternoon session of the second day was the presentation of the report of the Foreign Mission Board by Rev, L. G. Jordan, D. D. This Board is located at Louisville, Ky. Dr. Jordan presented an excellent report, showing the vast number of missionaries on foreign fields. His operations and his missionaries can be found in South, East Coast, Central and West Coast Africa, the Philippine Islands, South America, and, in fact, wherever the black man needs a missionary. He closed with an appeal for $3,000. At 3 o'clock came the discussion of the B. Y. P. U. Board's report, which took up the remainder of the afternoon. A feature of this Convention is the excellent singing. The Baptists boast of giving to the world their own songs and song books. "Hail the National Baptist Convention," seems to be the popular air. Mrs. A. B. Berry has returned home after two months' vacation in Birmingham and other points in Alabama. MARRIAGES James Bateman and Maggie Black Edgar W. Miller and Lizzie Alexander.

The Strollers Social Club gave a delightful outing last Friday night in honor of Miss V. J. Scales, of Knoxville, and Mrs. C. Owens. The party went in pleasure wagons seven miles out on the Hillsboro pike to the beautiful home of Miss Elizabeth Bradford. Here many pleasant diversions were indulged in and a delicious repast was served. At an early morning hour the moonlight drive to the city was much enjoyed. The party included the following: Misses Hattie Woolridge, Ida Walker, Carrie Walker, Lela Shields, Mayme Brooks, Mamie and Addie Allison, Willie Street, Miss V.J. Scales, of Knoxville, Mrs. C. Owens, Mr. W. J. Blanton, G. H. C. Bradley, W. H. Hollins, Walter Hollins, Dennis Erwin, Clarence Laprade, Leroy Bennett, A. C. Sloan and others. ENJOYABLE EVENING The Soiree Club of North Nashville entertained last Friday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hall, 439 Eighth avenue, North.

WATTERSON ON THE NEGRO VOTER. Col Henry Watterson, the veteran editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal believes that it is time for the Negro voters to leave the republican party, and as a democrat, believes that a special effort should be made to secure their votes for Bryan. In a recent editorial in his paper he says: "If the Negroes owe the Republican party anything for their freedom they have paid the debt forty times over. Yet they are held in bondage by the leaders of the party quite as absolute as they were held by the planters of the South under the old slave regime. They have simply changed the form of their bondage their new masters, the Republican politicians, are as exacting as their old masters away down South in Dixie. The indefinite continuation of this is not creditable to the free spirit of the black people of the North. It is not best for the well being of the black people of the South. The Courier-Journal has, therefore, as their friend, advised the leaders of the race in both sections to think about it. They are thinking about it. Many of them are men of education, of integrity and of original volition. Bishop Waldron, of the District of Columbia, a Baptist, and Bishop Walters, of New York, a Methodist, in particular, are earnest men, having the good of their country and of their people at heart. To them, and to those of their followers who have minds open enough to listen to reason the Courier-Journal says and has said all along that neither of the two great parties cares a hill of beans for the black man, per se. The one of them holds him at arm's length and tells him plainly he is not fit to vote and shall not vote—which in the Southern States, is neither unnatural, nor unreasonable. The other holds him in abeyance and tells him he is all right as long as he votes the Republican ticket, woe to him otherwise. Thus he falls betwixt two stools. Meanwhile it is observed that racial friction, when it shows itself, is more virulent at the North than at the South. At the South short shift is made of the barbarous malefactor. At the North the labor problem enters the lists and takes a hand—the rivalry for work between the blacks and the whites increasing the racial conflict and precipitating bloodier tumults—and, as a consequence we see such mobs as those of Springfield, beneath the very shadow of the tomb of Lincoln, unsparing, indiscriminate, visiting upon the innocent many the revengeful spirit, which, on the South side of the line, usually spends its fury upon the guilty alone. The present year seems a good time for the blacks to assert their moral emancipation and to set up the standard of revolt against the political serfdom which the Republican party has imposed upon them. They have it in their power to bring the Republicans to a realizing sense of the independence of the colored voter and impress the people of the South by the spectacle of an awakened Negro sentiment which ne ra ai ec THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1908 makes for a better racial understanding. The future of both races depends largely upon some working agreement between the whites and blacks of the South. The white people of the South through forty years and upward have known the black people politically, chiefly as a big stick in the hands of their oppressors. Throughout the whole dread period of Reconstruction the Negroes were used as the instruments of the spoilers, who masquerading as patriots, sought by turning society up-side-down to rob the cradle and the grave, and to take out a perpetual post-obit upon the public credit. It should be no wonder if the South resented this bitterly and when the Southern white people recovered their power that they should do what they have done to enface its monuments and to make it hereafter impossible. As matters stand we are having measurable peace. But, suppose it should happen that the South, which is still deeply interested in the defeat of that party which holds over it in terrorem the threat of Negro domination and Force bills to reduce representation, should find that it owes the winning of a Presidential battle to the independence and intelligence of the more educated and enlightened black people of the North; would not this make for still happier conditions? Would it not lay the foundation at least for a truce and parley, looking toward some adjustment of operating forces and influences more solid and substantial than those tentative conditions which now exist? Assuredly the Courier-Journal thinks so. It thinks so not as a Democrat, but as a friend of the black people. The Democratic party, as a party, asks nothing, offers nothing. The Republican party demands the Negro's vote at the price of his freedom, and then at the North fails either to employ him or protect him. The Courier-Journal, cutting loose from both parties on this issue, would have him assert himself for once in his life if he never does it again—to take a trial trip on the good ship Independence—stying to the Republican bosses flourishing the slave driver's whip, "You can not drive us; you cannot cheat, or buy us. We are men, not chattails." In this attitude the black people of the North will show the dignity of their manhood and will, whilst exploiting their own character and intelligence, help sensibly, and surely help, their poor, uneducated black brethren of the South. THE FAIR The Tennessee Colored Fair Association is holding its first annual fair at Greenwood Park this week. This is the first effort of the colored people of this county, so far as we know, to hold a fair, and it is a matter of congratulation that they have succeeded. All efforts to present to the world the construction work of the Negro are to be commended. As a race we have suffered in the estimation of the world because of the good things—our advancement in agriculture, in business, and all other forms of development, have not been properly placed before the public. The Negro criminal is known far and near, but the successful farmer or breeder of fine stock is not known outside of the immediate neighborhood of his home. So the Fair Association is to be commended for making it possible for the Negro farmer, business man, and artisan to properly place the results of their work before the public. The fair is an educator of the general public as to what the Negroes of this section are doing. The fair we hope will prove a financial success and will be a permanent institution. A SORE SPOT. The Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, a former member of the Roosevelt Cabinet, in opening the republican campaign at Louisville, had the following to say on the Brownsville case: "I firmly believe that if the Brownsville troops, who have suddenly become objects of solicitude to the democratic leaders, had been white men, they would have been discharged even sooner than they were. They did not suffer because of their color." Perhaps Mr. Shaw is right. His term of service in Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet has made him familiar with the erratic temperament of the President. Possibly he had in mind that it was thought Mr. Roosevelt had upheld the law against hazing at West Point until he put his new Secretary of War in the Ananias class. It is possible and probable that the color question did not enter into the dismissal of the colored troops, but it is more probable that if the troopers had been white and no more evidence had been submitted connecting them with the shooting up of the town than had been introduced against the colored troopers, they would have been reinstated long ago. If the troopers had been white and had as many votes supporting the republican party as the Negro, the republican majority of nearly two to one in the Senate would not have permitted the innocent to suffer for the crimes of the guilty. If Mr. Shaw and the republicans are desirous of controlling the Negro vote as in the past, they would do well not to defend Mr. Roosevelt's un-American act in the Brownsville affair. Brownsville is a sore spot with the Negro voter, and republican speakers should do well to recognize the fact, while addressing themselves to the voters. The Negro is not the only race that is forced to face injustice on account of racial prejudice. Recently at a public celebration, a Frenchman shot Col. Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew, the persecution of whom by French army officers several years ago, excited the sympathy of the world. The man who did the shooting admitted that he fired the shots, and that Col. Dreyfus had injured him in no way, yet a jury of twelve men declared the miscreant innocent of the charge. The prejudice in Paris where the shooting occurred against the Jew reminds one of Mississippi, where an ex-United States Senator openly proclaims that he led a mob. Gov. Patterson's speech at the Tennessee Colored State Fair was a happy effort. The Governor, being a true Southern democrat, is not begging for the Negro votes and on this occasion did not make a political speech. Yet, the significance of his being present at Greenwood Park, a resort for the amusement of our people that was made possible only by his veto of an act to abolish the park, could not but be marked. Candidates may not "have much respect" for the Negro in politics, but his vote "will count" in Tennessee this year. Mob law which at one time was used only for Negroes, is now giving vent to itself in Mississippi and Arkansas as in "night rider" raids to prevent the sale of cotton. The farmers of those states and Texas recently established a secret minimum price at which they would sell, and have proceeded to intimidate every one who would not abide by their decision. Bully for the red necks! They are tired of the dark meat and now that they have begun on the white meat we can expect an awakening of the public conscience against mob rule. The Georgia legislature seems loath to give up the convict lease system which for the past thirty or forty years has added ill-gotten gains to so many of the state's citizens. Public sentiment has forced an exposure of the barbarities and irregularities that have been a disgrace to the civilization of the state but the politicians want to maintain the system as long as possible. It means money to them. Next week Nashville will be visited by ex-Governor James K. Vardaman. He will visit the State Fair. This will be a fine opportunity for "Peg Leg" to test the braying qualities of his jack. The fair ought to give a prize to the winner. Bryan in talking over "my policies" has started an Ananias Club. Bishop Walters is one of the charter members, and now he adds William Randolph Hearst to the list. COMMUNICATION. A Distinguished West Indian in America.

W. H. Walkins, Inspector of Schools. While employed in that capacity Mr. Phipps took the three annual examinations necessary to enter the Mico College, preparatory to entering the teacher's profession. The result of his last examination was the incident which made him famous with his people. At that time he won a scholarship in a competition with pupil teachers of all the islands constituting the "Leeward Islands Presidency." By virtue of his scholarship, young Phipps entered the Mico College at Autiqua (which was afterwards removed to Jamaica) and finished his course in two years, making the highest average all through. His work in college being so marked he was appointed to one of the largest public schools, and a sub-Inspector of Agriculture in the Island of Montserrat, at which post he won for himself an excellent reputation in the island. Feeling that his mission here was not to teach but to heal, Dr. Phipps set out for Nashville, Tenn., where he entered Meharry Medical College of Walden University in the Fall of 1904. His career here was no less distinguished, having in his first year made the highest average that had ever been made in the history of the school. While a junior student he won the first prize for the best composition in Pediatrics. During his four years' course, he not only made the highest average in his class, but won the respect of his classmates to such a degree that he was made secretary of the Senior Class by acclamation. The members of the faculty also saw much in Dr. Phipps, and evidenced their esteem by electing him a member of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association of the Medical Department. He took the examinations of the following states and acquitted himself admirably: Missouri, general average, 95 per cent; Arkansas, 96 per cent; Federal Board of Hot Springs, 100 per cent. A few weeks ago Dr. Phipps was welcomed into the medical fraternity at Hot Springs, Ark. From his office at 324 Malvern avenue, he sends me the following message: "My practice is now fairly well established and growing daily." Dr. Phipps has not only won a name for his Alma Mater, but for his country. G. HAMILTON FRANCIS, Class 1911, Meharry, New York, Sept. 12, 1908. Unbridled Lawlessness. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This pronouncement or retribution is no less applicable to nations and communities than to individuals. Its visitation is inevitable, being the resultant effect of contributory causes. A few days ago a Negro was lynched in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, and the Nashville American, recording the event, said, among other things, that "the mob went about its work orderly! not a shot was fired." etc. In the name of all that is high and holy, how can any mob, whose very existence is in defiance of law and whose every move is riot, ruin and disorder, go about anything orderly? We confess to being pretty good at puzzles and connundrums, but this paradox has us nonplussed. Perhaps the American can answer. The story told briefly is this: A young woman (white) goes to spend the evening and night with a neighbor, some few miles out on the Nashville and Murfreesboro pike. The night passed, the neighbor returned with her friend a mile or so, leaving J. E. EDWARDS, Mgr.

After parting, the visiting friends went homeward through the ravine, but had not gone far when a Negro came through the woods (probably a near cut to his work) to the road a little way behind the white woman. Perhaps the sense of loneliness enhanced by the locality and the approach of the Negro unnerved this lonely girl, and a scream rang out from sheer fright, without being "embraced" as the press despatches have it. A hurried retreat was beaten by the Negro, but he was soon overtaken by a mob, and when identified by the young woman was hanged to a nearby tree. This was a human life snuffed out. Thus another soul rushed headlong into the Unknown by a mob whose conduct is condoned and dignified by our great daily papers as being "orderly." It is not our purpose to discuss the merits of the case—that is unnecessary. That persistence in such crimes by human beings is provoking and almost beyond endurance, goes without saying. But the methods purued are the points of condemnation. We have been repeatedly told, and we really believe it, that the "better element" in the South does not compose the mob, nor approve of it in any case. Then one is left to conclude that mobs are composed of a different element. How came this beautiful (?) mass endured with such a high sense of justice and equity, that the swiftest mode and severest method are insufficient to requite outraged virtue? Be not deceived, no crime is necessary, no outraged virtue is needed to unbridle this ever-increasing lawless spirit. It is simply a hell begot, anarchistic force, with fuse ready and waiting for any old excuse or pretext to vent itself upon Negro suspects, who are the immediate victims. All the Negro people feel keenly these heinous outbursts against them. But God is not mocked. The sowing has been long and furious, the reaining time is surely coming, be cause God lives and His justice will not stay the harvest of retribution for ever. It is possible for the irresponsible and unreckoning mob spirit to become surfeited on the blood of blacks and turn to other crimes for a change. And when at last this uncontrollable mob-spirit, after years of training upon black victims, shall vomit itself upon the shattered ruins of a once proud, but biased people, others shall then feel what we are now daily made to feel. Let none view lightly the mob spirit. We shall surely reap what we sow. The pity of the whole matter is, that Christian men and women all over this Southland are quietly suffering this spirit of defiance to law and order to stalk boldly, unchecked and unpunished over this fair land. THE FUNNY BRIGADE. To the Nashville Globe: The habit—a conceited and arrogant habit—of some people in trying to create laughter or fun by attempting to tell in imputed and exaggerated language or dialect what some colored man or woman has said upon some occasion, is stale, evidencing a sort of pomposity that gives one that tired feeling so aptly characterized by that slang phrase, one so often hears, "It makes me tired." Some evenings ago, just as the gloaming was merging into the darkness of night, there were seated upon the curbstones at the intersection of Church street and Seventeenth avenue a party of young fellows telling of some of their wild escapades, when one loquacious fellow, who essayed to be more witty than the others, told of an occurrence substantially about as follows: "A Negro came to me and, taking off his hat, said: 'Boss, dem party wan ter saw yer. Yah, sah dey wan ter saw yer bad.'" He went on with an extended lot of trash like the above quotation, trying to be funny. Lots of them try to be wittily entertaining after the above fashion There is no colored man nor woman in the world who uses language like the above. That day, if it ever were, is past. "Boss, dem party," never fell from any colored person's mouth since the days before Adam and Eve. It would come nearer being that of a Mexican or a Chinaman. The day of flagrant misuse of the King's English among the colored people is receding with their rapid educational advancement. JADECEE. FORMAL OPENING TURNER NORMAL COLLEGE.

YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB The members of the Young Men's Literary Club assembled last Tuesday night at the residence of the president. The attendance was good though not perfect, and the meeting was very lively. The president delivered a short address to the club and the other officers and members were given opportunity to express their opinions concerning the Y. M. L. C. But the main feature of the evening was the election of some of the officers for the ensuing term. Those elected were as follows: Mr. Edward Lee Kinzer, President; Mr. John A. Galloway, Vice President; Mr. H. J. Stockard, Secretary; W. H. Summers, Treasurer; Mr. E. L. Berry, Sergeant-at-Arms. There yet remain several offices to be filled which will be done at the next meeting. Refreshments were served.

A perfect attendance is expected, so that the previous administration may be closed in proper style. Visitors welcome. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1908. STATE NEWS. COLUMBIA NOTES.

Sellers, of Lavergne, Tenn., was elected Secretary; Rev. H. J. Johnson, Presiding Elder of Nashville District, was elected Treasurer, and Rev. W.

Goodall, of Nashville, pastor of Fifth Ward Baptist Church, Clarksville, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Baptist churches. Response by Rev. E. F. B. Amos, A. B., who delivered a strong response. He swayed the audience with his eloquence. Rev. Mr. Amos said that we as Negroes may go North and we may go East, in search for better living, but the best thing to do is to stay where we are, and cultivate true friendship with the Southern white man from a business point of view. He said that notwithstanding the lynching in this country, the Negro had a warm, friendly place in the heart of the thoroughbred Southern white man. He also said that the Negro was blessed by his contact with this southland, as can be seen by his educational standing; that most of the good things that come to the Negro come direct or through the influence of the Southern white people. He urged the Negroes to stay in the South and help to make it what it should be by uniting with all law and order leagues. He spoke of the educational money raised by the C. M. E. Church during the past twelve months as follows: Bishop L. H. Holsey raised in COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER. NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD, 523 SECOND AVENUE, NORTH, PRAISES THE GLOBE BUT IS DOWN ON TAFT. To the Globe Publishing Company: Permit me to extend most hearty congratulations to you in the superb Greater Nashville number of your paper. It is the equal of most and superior of many of the special editions issued by white papers. May I also say a little regarding the meeting of Senator Foraker and Mr. Taft at Toledo, Ohio. It was no loveeast. Mutual friends brought them together in public unknown to either before hand, and they acted as gentlemen should. Senator Foraker is still opposed to Roosevelt's policies, which Taft endorses. And if Taft is elected his friends will retire Senator Foraker. I think the Foraker people fully understand this and will act accordingly. The Senator must preserve his regularity and give the others no excuse to defeat his bill for the Brownsville boys this fall and I sincerely hope his friends will snow Taft under utterly. The colored people have a great opportunity this fall to show they can think for themselves. Honestly, Foraker does not ask them to support Taft. No other race would fail to avenge themselves if they had the same cause. Has either Taft or Roosevelt condemned the Springfield murder? Don't trust them. Urge your people to prove their manhood by voting against their betrayers. If you defeat Taft this year, you can take your proper place in the councils of the party and in 1912 we will get a real republican—perhaps Senator Foraker. I believe the Buckeye colored people realize the truth and will refuse to vote for Roosevelt's man, Candidate Taft. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. Bonneville, Ore., Sept. 11. THE LILAC EMBROIDERY CLUB The Lilac Embroidery Club met at the beautiful home of Mrs. John Barnes, 1013 Edgehill avenue, Monday evening. The reception room was beautifully decorated with the club colors. After an hour's work the ladies were invited into the dining-room, where a two-course menu was served.

The club will meet with Mrs. Marshall Williams next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Belma Woneta Mahan, a popular young lady of the city, who has been visiting Little Rock, Ark., her former home for the past two or three weeks, returned from her vacation Tuesday, and on the day following, resumed her duties in the stenographic department o the National Baptist Publishing House, where she holds a responsible position. En route to Little Rock Miss Mahan spent a short time in Memphis, and was the recipient of courtesies on the part of her friends in that city. But it was in Little Rock, the home of other days, that many old acquaintances and many new ones vied with each other to do honor to the young lady THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels. They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL OR WRITE THE CHURCH SUPPLY DEPARTMENT OF THE Georgia, $5,000; Bishop I. Lane, in West Tennessee, $4,000; Bishop E. Cottrell, in North Mississippi, $10,000; Bishop R. S.

D., of Hopkinsville, Ky.; D. R. Giles, Goodlettsville, Tenn.; H. J. Johnson, Nashville, Tenn., and R. C. McClendon of Pulaski Tenn. The ladies' department was presided over by Mrs. S. A.

MISS MAHAN RETURNS. who was to be in their city for a short season. Social functions of every description were daily in evidence until the time came for Miss Mahan's departure. ACTIONS CONDEMNED AS COW- ARDLY. The manner in which the three men acted who ran down a drummer with an automobile on Church street is strongly condemned by all the auto drivers in this city. One prominent chauffeur said that while accidents of various kinds are happening every day, he believed this to be an accident pure and simple but if the actions of the men as reported in the daily papers are true, they show themselves in a bad light in the eyes of the public. It was their duty, he said to have stopped their car as quickly as possible and to have rendered whatever aid they could to the unfortunate man. The case in question was that of Mr. Geo. W. Leutzeler, which occurred at the corner of Sixth avenue and church street Sunday night. Mr. Leutzeler was crossing Church street when the automobile struck him and knocked him to the ground. The three occupants of the automobile were evidently greatly frightened at the accident and without stopping to make an investigation of the affair they leaped from the machine and disappeared. The machine continued moving down Church street when some one from the sidewalk got into it and brought it to a stop. Mr. Leutzeler was able to walk to the Maxwell House where he is staying, but suffered such pain that a physician was called to attend him. His left hip was strained and both hands were bruised. The automobile was numbered 255 and is said to be the property of J. S. Roler. The driver of the machine was said to be John Henry Carter. WOUND FROM GALLERY RIFLE Andrew Harris, aged 15 years, was accidentally shot and probably fatally wounded at Greenwood Park Sunday evening. Young Harris is in charge of the shooting gallery at Greenwood Park and a 22-calibre Winchester rifle was lying on a table in the booth for the use of patrons of the gallery. Some one picked up the rifle intending to shoot at the target, when it was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking Harris in the left side of the abdomen and ranging upward to the right, perforating his intestines in three places. He was immediately taken to the City Hospital, where an operation was performed. It was stated by the Hospital officials Thursday morning that the young man was steadily improving and there was some hope of his recovery. The E. O. U. Club met at the home of Mrs. Silas Rhodes, 1218 Jackson street, Saturday evening. A palatable four-course menu was served.

S., led the devotional exercises, lining hymn, "O for a heart to praise my God." The following brethren led in prayer: K. H. Turner, J. W. Richmond, J. A. W. Moore, J. M. Moody. The District Superintendent addressed the Conference. A word of greeting from each pastor and delegate was called for. This was a spiritual feast to all present. On motion J. A. W. Moore was elect- ed secretary, and he chose for his assistants, N. W. Ware and J. N. Thompson. Many of the brethren preached souls stirring sermons during the Conference, and many anxious seekers offered themselves for prayer and one, an old man, was happily converted. The following were elected to official positions: J. P. Price, reporter to the daily paper; K. H. Turner, statistical secretary; J. R. Alexander, reporter to the Southwestern; J. A. W. Moore, to Nashville Globe. Standing committees were next appointed. Rev. D. M. Lyte, D. S., then read one of the best reports of his work ever listened to. The reports of pastors were called for. The literary program was one of the best ever gotten up on the District. All reports showed much activity throughout the District, and larger gains along all lines, more especially the conversion of souls. Sunday service will ever be remembered by the good people of Kenton. The holy fire burned in each heart. Although Kenton is a small town, the collections were good and amounted to $58.60. Dr. H. W. Key was present notwithstanding his feebleness. He gave cheer and life to the Conference. RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE NOTES. Clark R. A. Walker is all smiles nowadays. It's a girl this time. Clerk J.

LINCOLN'S OWN ACCOUNT OF HIS ONE TRANSACTION IN WHISKEY. One of the many vituperative charges urged against Mr. Lincoln during the Presidential campaign of 1860 was that he was a whiskey drinker and kept it for sale "as a part of his general stock merchandise." Though this charge was laid to rest more than forty years ago, it has been resurrected and warmly debated in many quarters. Believing that Mr. Lincoln's own statement concerning the question would be of interest, I beg leave to give it as I had it from his own lips while painting his portrait at Springfield a few weeks prior to his election, says a correspondent of the New York Sun. During his sittings for the portrait his familiar talks about his Senatorial contest with Mr. Douglas, his grocery business and postmastership at Salem, how he became a lawyer, etc., were very interesting. Much that he said was in response to questions or suggestions. At the last sitting I ventured to ask him about the whiskey reports. This was his reply: "When I was in the grocery business there was so little money in circulation that I was compelled to take in payment for my goods anything the farmers had to sell. When I had got enough together for a boatload I loaded my flatboat, floated down the Sangamon River to the Mississippi and so on to New Orleans, where I sold my stuff and replinished my stock of groceries. When I was about to start on one of these trips a neighbor asked me to take three barrels of whiskey to New Orleans and sell it for him. That I did." "Then with emphatic speech and gesture he added: "That was the only whiskey transaction of my life." PLEASANT AFFAIR.

With the close of the baseball season close at hand and with all the fans wondering what next, there is a mild reminder that the cool winds of fall will bring out the college boy in his foot ball togs ready to try his skill in handling the Pig Skin. It would be a hard matter at this point to say what will be done by the university in Nashville, but when we look back over the old days we can see many hard fought battles and many a victory that would do credit to the braveest of the brave. There is not a citizen of Nashville that cannot remember some of the hard gridiron battles fought here and cannot call the names of some of the boys that were bright stars in those days. One has but to mention football and you are at once loaded down with names of boys who have won fame on the gridiron. It would be impossible to tell just now what the coming season will bring in the foot ball world, but besides the team of Meharry, Fisk and Pearl High there is a rumor going the rounds that a strong city team will be placed in the field and that this team will represent the National Athletic Association and that they will play all the teams of the city and try and make a few short trips away. The public of Nashville has been greatly blessed in the line of football and have witnessed some of the best football known to the college world. This is due to the schools located here, for which the public is grateful. The sport has always been high-class, clean and in every respect a credit to the schools and the race, and we are hoping this season will bring out good strong teams for all the schools and that they will be inspired with the same spirit as of old: win and play hard. This season should bring out more stars than in former days when the team relied on heavy mass plays to make their gains. This season finds football brought up to the point where it not only requires strength but speed and accuracy and above all quick thinking and good judgment.The forward pass, drop kick, on side kicks and many other finer points of the game make it a sport filled with skill and science And here is hoping that Nashville will get her share of good hard foot ball.

W., Sept. 16.—Jack Johnson, the American colored pugilist, has signed articles for a fight with Tommy Burns, the American champion, the fight to take place in this city in December and to be for the championship of the world. Burns said to-day that this would be his last fight. London, Sept. 16.—Jack Johnson signed articles for a fight with Burns at the New South Wales office here to-day and booked passage on the steamer Orontona for Sydney, sailing on Friday. The terms of the match provide that the winner shall receive $20,000 and the loser $20,000. BRYANT TOWN TOWN NOTES. The Sunday-school gave an excellent entertainment last Saturday night. Mrs. Mary Ann Hoggatt and Mrs. Fannie Shane left last Monday for Wichita, Kans., as they received a telegram to come to the bedside of their mother, Mrs. Margaret Watson, who is very low. Mr. and Mrs. Cuba Humes, of Green Hill, were the guests of Mrs. Sophronia Hockett last Sunday. Mrs Adline Smith, of Murfreesboro, is visiting Mrs. Sophronia Hockett. Misses Dollie and Lottie Hockett spent the summer in the country. Mrs. Dave Hockett has returned to her school in East Nashville. EARLY HISTORY OF NASHVILLE NEGROES. The younger generations of Negroes of Nashville are, to a great extent, becoming inquisitive as to the conditions existing in this city at the close of the civil war, and to have a knowledge of the hardships they had to undergo. They are coming to realization of the fact that the progress made can only be judge d by the accomplishments attained. Nashville is a city that furnishes a great field in which to study the Negro of to-day and the Negro forty years ago. He has wrought nobly along all lines and the generations unborn will be greatly benefited by a knowledge of what their grandfathers did and the price they paid for the liberty they now have. It is imperative that quick action be taken, for the old heads are dropping out one by one, and if the opportunity is let slip it will never return. It is alleged that a society will be organized or that special purpose. "BUSTER" REMEMBERED BY HIS AUNT Little D. A. (Buster) Hart, Jr., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hart of 1726 Jefferson street, received a package through the mail this week, accompanied with a beautiful souvenir card. Upon investigation it developed that the card and package were from his aunt Ida (Mrs. Harlan), of St. Louis, Mo., and the package contained a beautiful white dress. Little "Buster" was ready to don his new gown and proceed to the back yard to make mud cakes, but his mother thought best not to permit. D. A. Jr. was very sick just before he was taken to the country a few weeks ago, but the trip did him lots of good and he is now walking proudly around the yard and will soon be accompanying his father and his two sisters to Sunday-school. SPLENDID RECORD. Miss Bessie Garrett, of 924 Blank street, who has been teaching school during the summer months near Lexington, Tenn., has returned to the city. Miss Garrett has made a most enviable record where she taught and every one of the patrons of the school regretted to see the term close. So pleased were the parents of the children who attended the school that it is more than probable that the school will be reopened after the Christmas holidays and Miss Garrett will be recalled to assume the position of teacher. LEGISLATION BY PETITION. LEGISLATION BY PETITION. We are told that scores—is not hundreds—of the best citizens of Georgia have petitioned the legislature, now in extraordinary session, to abolish the convict lease system right now, without waiting two or three years or even one year to elapse before the reform shall be in effect. But from what we can gather from the Georgia press these petitions are likely to fail because of political machinations. It is claimed on the one side that Governor Smith at the regular session, and at a time when he thought there was no possibility of his being defeated for a second term, sinned away his day of grace by obstructing legislation he is now seeking to force in order to secure whatever credit may be due from the reform of the system for his own administration. On the other, the Smith supporters declare that it was inopportune, if not impossible, to have secured the abolition of the lease at the regular session and that the governor is sincere and in earnest now for it. Meantime the extra session has already cost the state $30,000 or more and this mad fractional fight goes on. The poor simple minded taxpayer, the meantime being entertained with siren notes of the democratic spellbinders—"let the people rule!" Georgia is democratic; every department of its service and every function of its government being in the hands of and under control of democrats. Why is it the people do not rule in Georgia? Why can fractional politics hold up a reform the people demand in a state where he people rule? It's a good time to think of these things between the thunderous discharges of the party's big guns.—Chattanooga Times. NEW WAVE MOTOR.

Fuller of Cedar Hill, Wm. Cannon of Shelbyville, Wm. Underwood of Shelbyville, D. P. Pearson of Mur freesboro, T. D. Parrish of Clarksville. A. J. Moore of Cedar Hill, Chas Owens of Shelbyville, V. E. Shipp, or Hendersonville, E. M. Seymour and Briefly described, the motor consists of a little car that is expected to run on a track that has been laid from a point on the shore above the water line to the rolling waves. The end facing deep water is equipped with a dashboard upon which the breakers are to pound. The force of this collision is expected to send the car gliding up the track. Attached to the shore side of the handcar is a twenty-four foot beam which is to be utilized as a piston rod. This rod connects at the shore end with another car, heavily weighted, which will also run up and down the track. The piston is designed to take a twelve inch stroke, and whatever excess energy may be developed will be expended in pushing he heavier car up the grade. In theory the big waves will give the cars a long ride and the smaller waves a short haul. Gravity is to be relied upon to return the cars to the scene of activity as the waves recede, and thus the engine will be in readiness to catch and yoke the power of the waves with whatever rapidity they may be able to chase each other over the sands. A stout spring is relied upon to return the piston rod to the same starting point each time. The motor was tested yesterday, but not being properly weighted, the dashboard developed a tendency to keep its head and resisting surface above the water, but by to-morrow the inventor expects to have this defect adjusted. FATAL FIGHT AT LIBERTY MILLS. On Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock, at Mill B of the Liberty Mills, at Mulberry street and the railroad crossing, William Lytle, about 25 years of age, stabbed William Billups, a fellow-workman, who died from the effects of his wounds in a very few minutes. It appears that Billups gave Lytle a severe thrashing a week or more ago, and it is reported that Lytle remarked at the time that he would fix Billups some day. The battle was renewed Tuesday afternoon, and during the fracas Lytle plunged a knife into Billups' heart. The latter, though fatally injured, pulled the knife from his breast and knocked Lytle down. The dying man in an attempt to follow up his advantage, suddenly stopped and expired. The body of the unfortunate was taken to the undertaking establishment of Taylor & Co., and prepared for burial.
