THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III FIRST FAIR A GRAND SUGGESS Tennessee Colored State Fair Meets Approval of Public. A LARGE ATTENDANCE DAILY. FULL LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS HORSE SHOW CREDITABLE FINE EXHIBITION OF THE CULINARY ART—LIVE STOCK EQUAL TO THAT SHOWN AT MOST OF THE OLDER FAIRS FAIR TO BE HELD NEXT YEAR. The first annual exhibition of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association is a matter of history. In a blaze of glory, as it were, the last performance was held at Greenwood Park Saturday night before the largest evening crowd of the week. The entertainment furnished on the last night merited the largest attendance present, several special features being introduced. The members of the Association are highly pleased with the generous support they have received on their first fair. So well pleased are they that the announcement was made on the closing night that the Tennessee Colored State Fair is a permanent institution. Next year, with the experience gained in fair management to aid them, they will have a bigger, brighter, better show. The attendance throughout the week was large, possibly averaging 1,000 paid admission daily. The banner crowd of the week, however, was present Thursday, when Company G, the local company of the state militia, gave a sham battle. The company was divided. One part representing the attacking forces at the battle of San Juan while the other was on the defensive. Capt. Bowman's company, who have the reputation of being the best drilled company in the state, acted well their part sent home many pleased spectators when the day's show was over. The horse show and tournament held each night proved one of the popular attractions. Many fine specimens of horse flesh were brought into the ring on the several nights, and with the ring under the direction of Mr. J. Frank Battle, they were shown to their best advantage. Many of those attending the evening show were surprised to see that so many of Nashville's citizens owned such fine horses and buggies. Likewise great surprise was evident on the faces of many when they witnessed such a great display of horsemanship on the part of the men and women participating in the contests. Between some contests and while others were in progress the I. O. I. Band under the direction of Prof. S. S. Hughes rendered popular airs. Another source of amusement, and by far one of the most popular of the whole fair was the acrobatic work of the Martin Brothers and the contortionist act of Mr. Robert Ralph. These three men showed marked ability in their different lines of work which was quickly appreciated by the spectators. Few of those present knew these men as residents of Nashville, which they are. The exhibits in all parts of the fair were indeed representative for a first fair. Some of the finest specimen of live stock ever shown in the state were on exhibition and it is hardly to be doubted but those that drew the blue ribbon, would receive the same at any fair where ever exhibited. Likewise the exhibition of thoroughbred poultry was notable. In the women's department the exhibition of jellies, preserves, cakes and similar articles was one of the finest collections of the fair. From time immemorial our women have been queens in the culinary art and they fully exhibited their rights to still rule by the samples they had on exhibition. In art and the more homilier domestic exhibits, a fine showing was made. The exhibition of the live stock department and the women's department has created an interest that will bear NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1908 BETHANY BAPTIST CHURCH, Columbus, Ohio. Where the next session of the National Baptist Convention will be held abundant fruit next year. Many of the female visitors were heard to exclaim: "I have things at home that I made, which look as good as these." And a number of farmers seeing the exhibits this year say that they will take time to put some of their products on exhibition at the 1909 fair. The Executive Committee of the Association held a meeting Monday and began the work of paying up the bills and attending to other routine matters. The members of the association were highly pleased with the courtesies extended them by the weekly and daily press.

NATIONAL BAP- TIST CONVENTION Closes a Most Successful Meeting at Lexington, Kentucky. SESSIONS LARGELY ATTENDED. DELEGATES ROYALLY ENTERTAINED — ELOQUENT SERMONS DELIVERED—REV. E. C. MORRIS UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN PRESIDENT — WOMEN'S AUXILIARY REPORTED MUCH WORK DONE —MEETS COLUMBUS O. 1909 Special to Nashville Globe. Lexington, Sept. 21.—The twenty-eighth annual session of the National Baptist Convention has passed into history. The proud city of Lexington goes down as one of the cities where the Convention has assembled in the past twenty-eight years. The entire list of officers, except one of the assistant secretaries, was unanimously re-elected as follows: President, Rev. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark.; Secretary, R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala.; Assistant Secretary, Rev. T. O. Fuller, Memphis. Tenn.; Assistant Secretary, Rev. J. H. C. Cyrus, Port Royal, Va.; Assistant Secretary, Rev. E. H. McDonald, Providence R. I.; Assistant Secretary, Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, Kansas City, Kans.; Treasurer, Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., Montgomery, Ala.; Statistician, Rev. S. W. Bacote, Kansas City, Mo.; Auditor, Rev. Robert Mitchell, D. D., Bowling Green, Ky. This, with the vice presidents from each state, constitutes the officers elected. Saturday. Saturday was the day set apart for voting on the next place of meeting. There were many cities in the field, the delegations from Savannah, New Orleans, Columbus, Kansas City and Oklahoma City being among the most active. After a heated discussion the fight dwindled down to New Orleans and Columbus. There was a matchless speaker on for each side—Rev. W. Z. Thomas, pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, for Columbus, Ohio, and Rev. L. S. Simon, of Opelousas, La. for New Orleans. In Rev. Mr. Thomas' remarks he read a letter from the Chamber of Commerce of Columbus, the Governor of Ohio, the Board of Trade of Columbus, the Baptist Ministers' Conference, and one from Senator J. B. Foraker, all inviting the Convention to meet with them. The mention of Senator Foraker's name precipitated a demonstration, which lasted fully twenty minutes. At the conclusion of the vote, the tellers declared Columbus, Ohio, the winner, and the 1909 session of this body will be held in that city. Sunday. On Sunday morning a national model Sunday-school was the feature. A banner was contested for by the various states. Texas succeeded in winning the banner, the third one in the past ten years. At eleven o'clock President Morris preached the conventional sermon. At three o'clock the missionary mass-meeting was held. Sunday night there was a special sermon. Monday. The last day of the Convention was a stormy one. The session was not held at the auditorium, but at Pleasant Green Baptist Church, of which Rev. Mr. Hawthorne is pastor. Almost the entire day was spent in the discussion of the promised $500, which did not materialize, as an inducement for the Convention to come to Lexington. Many rumors are affloct to the effect that Rev. Mr. Hawthorne had collected the money and that the money had been paid to him in contributions by the business men and other organizations, and that the committee had charged twenty-five cents as a bonus from each family before any delegates would be assigned them for board. Several speakers made heated arguments about the treatment of the Convention since it had been in session at Lexington. The matter was finally voted and left in the hands of the executive committee for adjustment. The consensus of opinion in Lexington seems to be against Rev. Mr. Hawthorne and his management of affairs. It is stated that the ministers of Lexington contributed but little towards the entertainment of the National Convention. The report of the committee on the state of the country was discussed at length. The night session was not so long. To-morrow morning quite a delegation will leave for Cincinnati to pay their respects to Hon. Wm. H. Taff, while this afternoon two special trains, bearing hundreds of delegates, left the city. Lexington is already being deserted and by to-morrow only a few of the visitors will be seen on the streets. Nearly all of the boards connected with the Convention held their meetings to-day and practically all the secretaries and chairmen for the seven boards were re-elected. Nashville secures the lion's share. The following boards will be located in that city: The Educational Board, Rev. D. S. Klugh, Secretary; Baptist Young People's Union Board, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac Secretary; National Baptist Publishing Board, Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary. The Home Mission Board, of which Dr. Boyd is also Secretary, will retain its headquarters at Little Rock, Ark. The Woman's Auxiliary Board, Miss N. H. Burroughs, Secretary, and the Foreign Mission Board, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Secretary, remain at Louisville, Ky. The headquarters of the executive board will naturally be at Selma, Ala., which is the office of the Secretary of the Convention. The only board in doubt as far as could be learned, was the National Benefit Board, of which Rev. A. A. Cosey is now Secretary. It is not known just what this board will do. There was some rumor that Rev. Mr. Cosey desired to sever his connection, claiming that his other dufes took up practically all of his time. The smallest collection taken in the history of the Convention is recorded from this meeting, according to the report of the secretary to-day. ENDORSED NEGRO DOLLS. National Baptist Convention Takes Action at Lexington. An important resolution was passed by the National Baptist Convention at Lexington, Ky., last week. The resolution in the main was an endorsement of the Negro doll idea. The delegates of this Convention had seen quite a lot of advertisements of Negro dolls. In fact, they had seen the articles for themselves, as four of these beautiful toys were on exhibition in Lexington during the Convention. So enthusiastic were the leaders over this new move of race pride that they thought it best to go on record as favoring the same. Hence Rev. J. R. Bennett, D. D., of DuQuoin, Ill., offered a very strong resolution commending so the Negroes the Negro doll idea. The resolution declares that it is time for the people to give encouragement to high class imitations. All seemed to be of the opinion that the women of the race would be pleased, and the womanhood strengthened. While this was being done the Negro dolls on exhibition at the Nashville fair word receiving practically the same ovation. Orders were taken at Lexington, and thousands of people had an opportunity of seeing what the Negro doll looked like. No.38 OPENING OF FISK AND WALDEN Roger Williams University Will Open in Full Force Next Tuesday. MANY STUDENTS IN CITY. WALDEN OPENED WEDNESDAY— FISK WILL OPEN NEXT WEDNESDAY — MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR ANTICIPATED BY EACH SCHOOL—PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS MEN ATTEND OPENING OF WALDEN. This week brings the time for the opening of practically all the institutions for higher education located in this city. Wednesday was the beginning of the full operation of Walden University. Some of the departments of Meharry opened on the first of the month, but the University proper did not open until the date stated above. As has been the custom for many years, the University started the year's work with a formal opening to which all of the pastors of the city and leading professional and business men were invited. The day was taken up in a platform exercise in the auditorium in which as many as time would permit took part. The object of these meetings is that the students may see the pastors and learn where their churches are located and receive an invitation to attend their services. It is a strict rule of the University that all students attend services at least twice every Sabbath, and those who board in private are urged to put themselves under the watch-care of some church of their choice. This is especially true of the medical students all of whom are boarders outside of the University buildings. The exercises Wednesday were exceptionally interesting. a large number of the pastors and other leading men being present. The enrollment to date is very flattering and bids to equal if not surpass that of any previous year. President Kumler and Dean Hubbard expressed themselves as being very hopeful for a successful year. It was feared that the money scare would have a tendency to keep a large number out of school, but very little if any difference is noticeable so far. Walden University is one of the oldest and most widely known institutions of higher learning in the South, and has always held a place in the foremost rank for the education of the Negro youth. Two bishops who are products of the famous Central Tennessee College, now Walden University, are located in this city, namely, Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, and Bishop Evans Tyree, of the A. M. E. Church. Hundreds of the leading doctors among the race went out from here, as well as many of the leading business and professional men. The boarding department of Fisk University opens Saturday, and the formal opening will take place on Wednesday of next week. Fisk starts this school year without a president, the affairs of the institution being in the hands of a committee selected from the faculty. Those in authority stated to a Globe representative that the outlook for a good attendance was very bright. Some new faces will be seen in the makeup of the faculty, otherwise things will move along as usual. The new library building is nearing completion. This building will fill a long-felt want at the University when completed. It is one of the most magnificent buildings on the campus, and while located on Bennett Field does not interfere with the holding of Athletic games on the campus. The unique figure of Dr. Merrill will be missed from the University, and students and faculty will long for his words of encouragement and consolation. No hint of who will be his successor has yet been learned, but whoever he may be he will not hold a more exalted place in the hearts of the Nashville than did Dr. Merrill. Roger Williams University will open on the 29th in full force. The Trus- tee Board is busy getting things in readiness for the opening. The workmen are being pushed to their utmost on the girls' dormitory building and they hope to have the same ready for occupancy before the first of the year. President Johnson predicts a very successful year for the institution, and thinks he will be taxed to accommodate the students. Every mail brings applications from all parts of the state for admittance. Roger Williams has an enviable site in its new location. Situated between the White Creek road and the Cumberland River, on a high eminence which gives a commanding view. On the south one beholds the historic state capitol standing out in bold relief and a general view of the city brings to the mind of the student that one of the most progressive cities in the South and the acknowledged Athens is there to be studied and to inspire the young mind on to greater things in life. Looking to the southwest is to be seen the massive buildings of Fisk University, Roger Williams' old time rival in athletics. No two institutions however were more friendly from president* down to the most humble student. Nashville is proud of her educational institutions, a fact that was clearly demonstrated when there was some talk of removing Roger Williams University. The students all receive the most courteous treatment from citizens and merchants. THE CLIFTON CONFERENCE. Alexander's Magazine for September, 1908, contains a thirty-six page article about the great Clifton Conference held August 18th, 19th and 20th at Clifton, Mass., to consider the religious education of the Negro race. This conference is said to have been the most inspiring, helpful and important ever held in this country. Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, chairman of the International Sunday School Association, called together educators and leaders of the Negro race, representing every important educational institution of the South and many of the great churches of the North, as well as missionary societies, etc., to consider what measures might be adopted to benefit the Negro race in religious directions. A complete story of the conference is given in an attractive manner in Alexander's Magazine, accompanied with portraits of the men and women who attended. In addition to this splendid feature, is a story of the organization and development of Prince Hall Masonry in this country and other important articles. FURNITURE DEALERS PERFECT ORGANIZATION An organization that will be of incalculable benefit to the Negroes of Nashville was that perfected by the retail furniture dealers of this city last Tuesday. The object, it seems, is to stop the practice of selling several hundred dollars' worth of furniture to people who have no way to pay for it, but to sell on a cash basis and at a lower price. The people will be greatly benefited by such an organization, and these merchants have taken a commendable step. Many embarrassments will be avoided, and the people will be taught to live within their means. An account of the organization follows: Organization of the Retail Furniture Dealer's and Merchants' Association, of Nashville, was further effected in the rooms of the Board of Trade Tuesday night by the adoption of a constitution and by-laws and by steps toward completing the list of officers and mapping out the work that will required of the Secretary. A comparatively large attendance of the retail furniture dealers of Nashville was present, and enthusiasm for the purpose of the Association was manifested. It was decided to hold the meetings in the Board of Trade rooms every Tuesday night, and evidence was not lacking that all the meetings will be well attended. According to talks made Tuesday night, purposes of the Retail Furniture Dealers' and Merchants' Association are such as to commend themselves both to dealer and customer. The organization, it was pointed out, is in no sense a combine or a trust, but seeks to give the members opportunities for arriving at worthy objects of mutual benefit. Evils that now exist in the retail trade in the furniture line, such as selling to a customer whose responsibility in assuming a debt and later failing to pay it causes losses to the dealer and to other customers are sought to be removed. By eliminating the fraudulent customer, the retail furniture dealers see that they will be able not only to benefit themselves, but also their worthy customers, for by conducting their business with a minimum of losses they will thereby be able to sell at a lower price than would be possible were they burdened with the losses resulting from bad sales of goods. At the meeting Tuesday night the constitution was adopted and the bylaws approved. The officers of the Association are as follows: President, Hillary E. Howse; First Vice President, Percy Sharp; Second THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1908 REV. WM. Z.

Riley, of the Cauan & Riley Company, and other members of the Association are Bradford & McKee Furniture Company, Montgomery Furniture Company, Bradford Wholesale Furniture Company (honorary), Nashville Outfitting Company and Nevill & Co. The next meeting will be held Tuesday night, at which time an address from the President is expected setting forth to some extent the alms and purposes of the organization. DIED IN ST. PAUL. MINNE$OTA. DIED IN ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA. Mrs. C. A. Ferrell, of 1727 North Third avenue received a telegram from St. Paul, Minn., announcing the death of her oldest brother, Mr. Lawson Ridley, formerly of Nashville. For two years he had been living in St. Louis and St. Paul, and was employed in the Pullman service between St. Paul and Yellow Stone, Cal. Mr. Ridley died in St. Paul, Minn. September 18, at the age of 48 years. He was born and reared near Stone River with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Ridley. He bore an excellent reputation and was a devoted husband, father and brother. He leaves a wife, five children, sister. Mrs. C. A. Ferrell of Nashville, a brother, Mr. Henry Ridley, of Albany, N. Y. Mr. Ridley was employed in Nashville by the Adams Express Company for two years. His remains were buried in St. Paul, Minn. INSOMNIA AND ALARM CLOCKS. (New York Press.) The patient complained of insomnia. "You must get an alarm clock at once," said the physician. The patient stared. "I mean it. What time do you waken usually in the night?" "Two o'clock lately." "Set the alarm clock for 45 minutes before 2. As soon as it strikes, get up, dress for the day and take a walk of not less than two miles. Do not go to bed again that day under any circumstances, nor take a nap, even sitting in your chair. "The next night set the alarm at 2:45. You will sleep until it wakens you. Get up as before, and take another two-mile walk." "The third night you can venture to set your alarm clock at 3. Repeat the walk. If you are not cured by that time you will be a more difficult case than I have had heretofore; but if the habit of lying awake is not broken, begin back at 2 o'clock again and repeat. "Another sure cure for insomnia is sitting up with the sick. Just bind yourself to sit up all night awith some good strong invalid, and if you are not permanently healed of insomnia before morning you may come back here and I will not charge you anything for another prescription." CURE FOR SNAKE BITE. How Ranchman Treated a Wound When Far From a Settlement When Far From a Settlement. Bitten by a rattlesnake in the calf of the right leg in the Santa Ana Mountains last Saturday, John McCornick, a rancher of Grapeland, saved his life by making an incision with his pocket knife and inserting a piece of the reptiles flesh in the wound. He bandaged it tightly and walked seven hours before he reached his ranch, where he could receive medical attention. Dr. Summer J. Quinn was called from Los Angeles to attend McCornick. When he arrived he found that his patient was suffering from a slight poisoning. He declares that McCornick saved his life by his own treatment. McCornick was hunting through scrub oak when he felt a peculiar sting in his leg. He looked down and saw the snake dragging on the ground as he walked. Its fangs had become fastened in his leggings and it was unable to withdraw them. With the butt of his gun McCornick knocked the snake off and then crushed its head with his heel. As quickly as possible he ran into the open and carried the snake with him. When he bared his leg he squeezed all the blood he could out of the two punctures which the fangs had made. Then he opened a gash, cutting through the two wounds and letting out the blood and poison. He cut a piece of flesh out of the snake's back and inserted it in the wound. McCornick used his handkerchief for bandages and then tied his leg again just above the knee to stop the poison from working through his system. McCornick was miles from any settlement where he could secure medical attention, so he started back to Grapeland. His leg pulsated with pain and he soon became deathly sick. In his weakened condition he was compelled to rest on the road time and again. When he finally reached home he was almost exhausted and his leg was dreadfully swollen and almost black. McCornick says that his treatment was famous among the Indians for snake bites and he has known of a number of instances where its application has saved lives.—Los Angeles Times. PROF. AND MRS. W. G. HYNES. Having spent more than a week in Lexington, Ky., visiting the Colored State Fair of the A. and M. Association and attending the National Baptist Convention, which was a pleasant session, Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Hynes report a pleasant trip and stay. Rev. J. F. Thomas, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Chicago, has announced a return engagement for Prof. and Mrs. Hynes on Monday and Tuesday nights, October 5 and 6. After a visit to Chicago of two weeks they will start en route for home to prepare to go to Southern points for the winter season. Prof. and Mrs. Hynes opened their engagement in Lexington on September 15 at Liberty Baptist Church, Rev. P. H. Clark, pastor, to a large audience. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, September 28, 29, and 30. Prof. Hynes will lecture and exhibit at the First Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Young People's Club. Miss Simmie Adams, President, and Miss Ida Simpson, Secretary. Prof. Hynes had the Convention taken in a group, which is the largest ever taken of this Christian gathering; it measures 16 by 36 inches. CAT SAVED WOMAN'S LIFE. To be saved by a pet cat from being ground under the wheels of a locomotive was the thrilling and unique experience of Mrs. Mary Lingenderfer, of Sunbury, in that place to-day. At a crossing of the Reading Railway her walk was interrupted by a freight train on the nearer of the double tracks, and when the string of cars had passed the woman stepped forward and halted as she noticed a frantic pulling at the hem of her skirt. At that very instant a "light" locomotive dashed past on the next track, so close to the unmindful woman that the momentum felled her to the pavement. Then she looked back and saw her pet cat with its teeth securely fastened in her skirt.—Selinsgrove (Penn.) Cor. Philadelphia Record. PARDONED SEPTEMBER 23. Among those to receive Executive clemency at the hands of Governor Patterson last Wednesday was Mattie Lillard, colored, of Davidson County. She was convicted in February, 1902, of murder and sentenced to ten years in State prison. Her application for pardon was recommended by the trial Judge, Attorney General, all the living juveniles and a large number of white citizens of Davidson County. The prisoner has an excellent prison record, and has served about six years of her sentence. ELECTRIC SHOE POLISHER. Eotblacks Greatly Stirred by the In / novation. A stir was occasioned Tuesday afternoon on North Fourth avenue in front of a prominent saloon among a crowd of bootblacks by the installation of an automatic electric shoe polisher, operated by a penny placed in a slot, and the police were finally forced to clear the street. The labor saving device, which is an innovation in Nash- PLACE YOUR NE J. D. M. HAY. CORN, OAK TELEPHONE 1097. Nashville. I. L. MOORE. PHONE OFFICE, N Res. Mail T.

A. ville, did not seem to find favor with the local "shine artists," and as the news spread about the downtown district that the machine had entered the field of competition offering to shine for a penny, the little knights of the brush swarmed to the scene and did not hesitate to voice their disapproval. Competition has been brisk of late between the proprietors of the various shining parlor, and the price has been cut from 5 cents a shine to six for 25 cents. Now that the electric polisher threatens to take a large share of the trade, the boys are dismayed. In the larger cities the automatic shoe shiner has almost completely done away with the shops. There are many who make a living in the city by polishing shoes. PASSING OF THE "PLUG." (Omaha Bee.) Even in staid old London where precedent rules almost every action, the independent spirit of the age has manifested itself so strongly that the high hat, or the "topper," as the Londoners are pleased to call it, is becoming conspicuous by its withdrawal from everyday display. It is true that some Americans who were invited guests at a recent reception given by King Edward were refused admission to the palace grounds because they wore straw hats with their otherwise correct evening dress, but the average Britisher is emulating the American example by wearing clothing that is comfortable rather than customary. The true Briton refuses, however, to abandon a world-custom without a struggle, and a determined effort was made by smart Londoners to revive favor for the "plug' hat during the recent Olympic games. Thousands of men, apparently engaged by the hatters, appeared in the stadium, each wearing the very newest thing in silk hats. Impressive as the display was, the result was not very satisfactory. Half of the time the weather was as hot as it gets in Arizona and the rest of the time it was raining, and a plug hat is a sorry thing in a rainstorm and its wearer an object of commission when the thermometer is up in the nineties.

H. Gooch and Miss Anna E. Cannor was solitized Saturday evening, September 19, at 7:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother in North Nashville. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Gooch left the city for Buffalo, N. Y., on their bridal tour. After two weeks they will be at their home, 814 Walnut street, Louisville, Ky. CARUTHERS—ARMSTRONG. Mr. John Caruthers and Miss Irene Armstrong were quietly married by Rev. Spencer Jackson Friday evening, Sept. 18, at the manse of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. After the ceremony was performed they were escorted by Mr. and Mrs. James Harding to their home, 1512 Fourteenth avenue, North, where a beautiful reception awaited them and many friends to congratulate them. Invitations have been received in Nashville to the marriage of Dr. G. W. Singleton and Miss Sara Elizabeth Mack, both of Beaufort, S. C., the wedding to take place September 28. Both parties are well known in this city. Dr. Singleton is a brother of Dr. J. B. Singleton and a graduate of the medical class of Meharry 1904. The bride-to-be is also a product of Meharry, having completed the pharmaceutical course here in the same year. Dr. Singleton enjoys a lucrative practice and has been exceedingly successful. In four years he has built a beautiful two-story brick building in which he has a well-established drug store and a nicely furnished office. Adjoining this building an attractive six-room cottage has just been completed for his bride, who has been employed in his drug store since her graduation. The friends of the contracting parties wish for them a happy voyage over the matrimonial seas and a bountiful supply of the world's goods. SKYE—MORTON. At the home of the bride's brother, Mr. Jas. Morton, a large number of relatives and close friends witnessed the marriage last Wednesday evening of Miss Aggie L. Morton to Mr. Will Skye, both of this city. Mr. Clarence Floyd played the wedding march and Rev. Mr. Parrish performed the ceremony at 8:30 o'clock. Long before the hour had come many friends had gathered at the house to await the coming of the bridal party. The first to enter was the groom with the bridesmaid, Miss Anna L. Mayberry, who wore a white organdy with a beautiful white sash and carried a large bouquet. Afterwards the bride entered the room, leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Lewis Morton, the groom's best man. The bride was beautifully dressed in white bobbinet over white silk, it being trimmed in white baby satin ribbon. She wore a veil and a wreath of white carnations and ferns and carried in her hand a beautiful bouquet of bride's roses and ferns. Many valuable and useful presents were received. After the ceremony ices were served and at 11:30 the couple left for their home, 1425 Fourteenth avenue, South. On Sunday evening Mr. and Mrs. Skye entertained a number of friends and relatives at dinner. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Morton, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Morton, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vick, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Moore, Misses Anna and Frances Mayberry, Misses Rosetta and Rebecca Malchior, Mrs. Lizzie Johnson, Mrs. Clara Gleaves, Messrs. Lewis Morton, Chas. W.

The opening chapel service for the Academic Departments of Howard University, Washington, D. C., took place on Wednesday, September 23, at 11 a.m. The prospects for a record-breaking attendance in all departments are very bright. DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE. Naval Officer's Theory as to the Disaster in Havana Harbor. The Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a mine, and this mine was probably an improvised affair, a wine cask with about 200 pounds of ordinar gunpowder and buoyant, fitted with any kind of a mechanical contact fuse, a bottle of sulphuric or other strong acid, arranged so that when struck by a vessel the acid would ignite and explode the mine. This cask could have been fitted with a chain and anchor so that the mine would float 10 feet above the bottom and 20 feet below the surface of the water. I believe that doubtless such a mine had been placed about 30 feet ahead of the Maine, then lying at the buoy, riding to the trade winds, as usual in that harbor, so that when the ship should swing, she would strike the contact mine and blow herself up. The Maine was in the act of swinging at the time she was destroyed. The plausibility of this is confirmed by all the circumstances of the time and place. The trade winds prevail in the harbor of Havana, and ships head to the wind; but the trade winds fail once in every four or six weeks, and ships that had been heading northeast swing around and head southwest. Such was the case that evening in Havana. In our Civil War the Confederates destroyed more vessels of the Union navy by just such improvised mines than they destroyed by gunfire, and history shows that up to the Spanish war there had been more ships destroyed by torpedoes and mines, since their invention, than by guns. Any one with a smattering knowledge of these facts could have rigged such a mine and fitted it with anchor, or stone to serve as anchor, and could have placed it at proper depth and position ahead of the Maine without having been observed by those on board. Merchant vessels did not go alongside wharves in Havana, but anchored southeast of the wharves. Cargoes were transferred to and from merchant ships by large lighters that sailed across the bay. The Maine and other men-of-war lay at buoys in position, so that these lighters passed constantly day and night right across their bows, and one man could easily have sailed his lighter with his mine from the shore across the bows of the men-of-war until directly ahead of the Maine, when he could have dropped the whole affair and have left it there to do its work when the Maine should swing around to head southwest.—The Century. VOTING A RELIGIOUS DUTY. Christians Must Attend Primaries; Too, Says, Famous Pastor. New York. September 20.—Churchgoers should regard the exercise of the franchise, as a religious function and should vote in accordance with religious precepts on every matter involving a moral question either in the issues at stake or in the personality of the candidates, declares the Rev. Charles F. Aked in the October number of Appleton's magazine. Dr. Aked is pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, of which Governor Hughes is a member. Further than this, he asserts it is just as much the duty of a church member to attend ward meetings and to vote at the primaries as it is to take part in the affairs of his church or to cast a ballot in the election of a pastor. According to Dr. Aked the proportion of regular church attendants who frequently stay away from the polls on election day and who seldom or never take part in primaries or local meetings for the election of delegates to conventions is larger than among any other class. These delinquents, he holds, are as much responsible for corrupt conditions of government or the election of unworthy men to public offices as are the heeler who buy votes to accomplish this result or the bar room hangers-on who sell their ballots. "The abuses that have arisen in the past," says the Appleton article, "from the interference of the church in politics have been due to the fact that religion was made political instead of politics being made religious. Except under circumstances of extraordinary pressure the churches as churches cannot enter the arena of party politics. The church cannot become a caucus. Only the projection of a supreme moral issue can warrant a clergyman in publicly taking a position as a party man. He may be permitted in his own heart to pray for a party—if he is satisfied that it is not past praying for. But the church can and should undertake a more important function—one that underlies all law and government—the formation of righteous public opinion. The church cannot compel in this day and generation. If it cannot inspire it is because it is no longer inspired and a church without inspiration is a corpse which people with decent regard to health should quietly bury. The church must teach that a Christian can no more neglect the plain duties of citizenship than he can neglect to pay his debts. The religious man who stands idly by and sees American politics made a byword for dishonesty is neither religious nor a man." LETTER FROM TEXAS. The following letter from a prominent physician and surgeon of San Antonio, Texas, to the Treasurer of the Globe Publishing Company will be read with interest. San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 14, 1908. Mr. H. A. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn. My Dear Sir: I write to acknowledge my indebtedness to some one for a copy of the "Greater Nashville Edition." Don't know who it can be, unless it is yourself; however I take great pleasure in congratulating you on the splendid effort in the make-up of that issue of the paper. I have been receiving occasional copies of your paper for several months, and have on several occasions spoken complimentary of it. Your last issue was a record breaker—taking as criterion the favorable comments heard on the streets of San Antonio. May the good work continue. I am so highly pleased that I authorize you to draw on me through your agent here for a year's subscription. I take the liberty to mail you under separate cover a copy of my book, "Our Family Physician." I mailed a copy of the book to his Excellency Governor Campbell a few days ago, and was at once appointed by him a delegate to the International Congress on Tuberculosis, which convenes in Washington, D. C., September 21 to October 12. I am contemplating taking Nashville in my itinerary: if so I shall in all probability call on the Globe staff, in that event I shall write you before leaving Washington. The object of the book is to aid, if possible, in checking the increasing death rate among colored Americans. Careful investigation shows that 50 per cent of the dean rate now among colored Americans is due to tuberculosis, while among other races the death rate from tuberculosis is only 8 per cent. I have fine letters of endorsement from the leading physicians of San Antonio who take the grounds that the book properly distributed will surely fulfil its mission. With the best wishes for the greatest measure of success along all lines, I am yours sincerely. G. J. STARNES. COMPROMISED. It is understood that Mrs. Elizabeth Dobson, the widow of Mr. Robert Dobson, who was killed in the elevator accident at the Union Station last Sunday afternoon, has compromised with the Terminal Company for $2,000. GRAND BAZAAR. The ladies connected with the Spruce Street Baptist Church contemplate holding a grand bazaar at their church some time in October. A number of committees are hard at work and they propose to have an entertainment far above the ordinary. The affair will be under the management of Mrs. Netie Young, of 1821 Jefferson street.

By making public a series of letters from Mr. John D. Archbold, first Vice President and acting head of the Standard Oil Company, to Hon. J. B. Foraker, William R. Hearst has placed the senator from Ohio in a very uncomfortable position. The letters, the authenticity of which Mr. Foraker has admitted, show that the Senator from Ohio was in the employ of the oil trust. In his card of explanation Senator Foraker states that his connection with the Oil Company was that of an attorney; that his connection as such was well known at the time, and that having rendered services as a legal representative he charged and received pay from the company commensurate with the services rendered. The accusers of Mr. Foraker, on the other hand, point out that in all the litigation of the Oil Company in Ohio, Mr. Foraker's name does not appear as an attorney of record and consequently they conclude that he was a paid lobbyist for the giant combine. The republican management, to free itself, has repudiated Mr. Foraker and eliminated him from all of its campaign plans-state and national. Whether this action was right can not be clearly decided until Mr. Foraker has spoken authoritatively in his own defense. The mere charges though, and the action of the national organization of his party will in all probability mean the political death of a man who has always been a friend and champion of our race. Thousands of Negroes regret to see the plight Mr. Foraker is in and hope that he will be able to come out of the affair with victorious colors flying. 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.—Nashville Globe. Maybe it's because the one colored has as much brain as the 29 whites, eh?—The Springfield Forum. If it were a matter of brains we would be satisfied, but brains do not rule in the councils of the "lily-white office holders'" executive committee of Tennessee. Federal "pie" rules and 29 to 1 means that the same old tactics of keeping aspiring colored young men out of the government service will be maintained if Taft is elected. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1908. Judge William Howard Taft showed himself to be every inch a gentleman when he said to those who urged that he take the initiative in calling upon Mr. Foraker to eliminate himself from the republican campaign: "If it would win me every vote in the United States. I can not hit a man when he is down." But how different is the man in the White House! He rejoices! The one enemy he could not frighten even with an undignified attack at the Gridiron dinner, has been placed out of commission, he hopes, by Hearst. Roosevelt has many fine traits but his habit of "striking" men who are down almost places him in the class off the common bully. The Georgia Legislature, after an extra session that cost the state $35,000, has passed a bill abolishing the notorious convict lease system which has been in use since 1865. By a compromise bill the lease system will come to an end March 31, 1909. The bill is not all that could be desired for it leaves in the hands of the Governor and the prison commission the power to lease convicts to individuals. Yet it is far in advance of the previous arrangement. By turning the convicts over to the counties for farm and road working purposes they will be protected from the barbarities of the leased camp where they are half-fed and made to work to their utmost whether sick or well. When Dr. J. G. Merrill was President of Fisk University he made an innovation that we hope will be followed by the new heads of that institution, now that Prof. Alonzo Brown of the Applied Science Department has resigned. We refer to the appointment of colored teachers. In adding more colored members to the faculty, Dr. Merrill was following in the wake of Howard, Walden, and all the leading colleges of the country. We hope no backward steps along this line will be made by the new board of management. The C. N. Haskell, who is denying so strenuously his connection with the Standard Oil Company, is the same Haskell that urged the passage of the "jim crow" laws of Oklahoma. His passing from political prominence will not be regretted. These slick demagogues, who are willing to advocate anything that will catch the popular side, sooner or later get the harpoon thrown into them. For example, "Ned" Carmack, Hoke Smith, C. N. Haskell. "Me" and "my policies" must not be overshadowed, nor must "my candidate" get too much of the calcium, consequently "I" will write a few letters expressing "my" views before "my candidate" has opened his speaking campaign. The next thing, having already smashed all precedents of Presidents mixing political contests by his letters, Teddy will take to the stump. Two out of door public entertainments—the State Fair and the Pythian Gala Week—had fair weather. This seems remarkable when it is remembered how the various "dedications," "egg hunts," "celebrations," "horse shows," etc., have been deluged for the past year. Somebody must have got on intimate terms with J. Pluvius Some of the home rulers refuse to become reconciled to the rule of the office-holders committee. Likewise many of the Negro voters will refuse to endorse with their votes the attempt to make the republican party a "lily white" affair. When Mayor Brown gets through attending the State Fair he might devote a few hours of his time on Saturday to examining the "wine rooms" in connection with the dives and order them removed as a public nuisance. The report comes from Mississippi that Negroes lynched a member of their race for killing a white man. "And we don't believe that fish story either." The festive school boy and the dainty school miss are with us again, and Nashville begins to take on her Athenian appearance. COMMENTS ON GREATER. NASHVILLE EDITION. From a veteran of the newspaper profession: The recent special edition of The Nashville Globe was a very fine illustrated publication. It showed at a glance the evidences of the race's industrial, business and educational growth in Nashville. The management of the Globe did Negro journalism a credit in the publication of so interesting and excellent edition.—The Pensacola Florida Sentinel. ** Commendable in the highest degree: We would do an injustice to journalism in general and to our contemporary, in particular, if we did not say a word congratulatory of the "Greater Nashville Edition of the Nashville, Tenn., Globe," which appeared September 4, with 24 pages of superb reading matter as well as artistic make up, as we have seen from any journal. It is commendable in the highest degree and should be an inspiration to every Negro newspaper.—The Springfield Forum. ** Triumph of Journalistic Enterprise: The Greater Nashville Edition of the esteemed Nashville Globe was a very distinct triumph of journalistic enterprise on the part of colored men. The issue was filled with telling illustrations and well written descriptions designed to exhibit the material achievements of Nashville's colored men and women.—The Mound Bayou Demonstrator. COMMUNICATION. Replies to Mr. Mayfield. Editor Nashville Globe: The card of Attorney Mayfield is most amusing. Some people never know when they have enough, and unless he can satisfy the people that he has some argument, it would be "cruelty to animals" to put him to white heat and force him to again impose on the city's water supply. It was the occasion of his life. He felt it. He imported Slatter down to report the speech. In fact, he thought there would be nothing to do but simply "rebut" the argument. We are not surprised at his calling it a "harangue," and stating that there was nothing in it. A man scarcely knows when a train has run over him; or thought lightning has struck him, on an earthquake has swallowed him. His friends know it—at least when they pay the funeral bill; and the admiring friends of Mr. Mayfield grieved at the "piteous spectacle" of their ideal who was lost in wonderment and were apprehensive that he would finally call out the fire department to quench the heat we created inside his abdominal cavity. We are engaged in the undertaking business and not politics, and it was to help a charitable cause that we accepted his challenge to debate. The thousand people there have rendered their verdict; the Globe gave in part the substance matter and what we have written is written. If Mr. Mayfield will give his scattering manuscript to The Globe just as he had it, we will give our original manuscript also, and the public can pass on the merits of the arguments. The Globe, however, to collect the full cost from each, and appoint competent judges to pass on the argument, letting the losing man pay cost. It must be fun for Mr. Mayfield to be a dollbaby and have balls thrown at him. It is always best to overestimate your opponent. We certainly did in the case of our esteemed attorney, and object to furnishing the whole show when my associate gets equal billing. What Mr. Mayfield needs is a set of credentials and some sort of recommendation before he can be a drawing card. But he is a jolly good fellow; like Banquo's ghost, he "will not down." But seriously, if the democrats mean to send out samples of Negro proselytes, couldn't they put their hands on a better debater than our esteemed attorney? VISITORS IN NASHVILLE. Four carloads of visitors stopped over in this city Monday and Tuesday en route from the National Baptist Convention, which has just closed its session at Lexington, Ky. These visitors were principally from the Southern States. There were two special Pullman cars from Texas. These two delegations were in charge of prominent Texas ministers. They came around from Southeast, Southwest and Central Texas, via New Orleans over the Louisville & Nashville. They were returning by the same route. The others were from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Their object in stopping over in Nashville was principally to see the National Baptist Publishing House.

Among the prominent pastors and educators who remained in the city were Prof. David Abner, Jr., president of Conroe College at Conroe, Texas, a noted educator, a man of national reputation; he was elected to the position of Educational Secretary with headquarters in Nashville, but owing to the pressure brought to bear by Texas people he had to decline; Rev. E. W. Atkinson, of Navasota, Texas, prominent in conventional affairs and church work; Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., pastor of the largest Baptist church in Alabama; Rev. W. B. Ball, D.

McEwen and Miss McEwen, of Mobile, Ala. There was quite a number of other delegates whose names the reporter could not get. They were taking in Nashville and from what could be learned Tuesday night before the special trains bearing the delegation left the city, they had gained a favorable impression. --- THE SERVICES OF DR. C. H. CLARK IN GREAT DEMAND. In a conversation with a special party that arrived from the recent sessions of the National Baptist Convention, a Globe reporter learned some facts concerning this great body. It is known that Nashville plays quite a part in these annual deliberations, especially being represented in the management of the various boards. Rev. Dr. Clark, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, who is chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board and who has been an active worker in the National ranks for many years, was unanimously re-elected at the sessions recently held in Lexington. It was learned by a Globe reporter that Dr. Clark was approached by several special committees from different churches with propositions touching upon his accepting the pastorate of their congregations. Among these was the Second Baptist Church at Indianapolis, Ind. The church at Indianapolis is without a pastor. It is the leading church of the city, but owing to some dissatisfaction among the officers and members, the church doors have been closed. The Indianapolis people regard Dr. Clark as being equal to any minister in the denomination. They have urged him to accept the call. The next committee was from the First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Ga. The people who make up this congregation have been ardent admirers of Dr. Clark since before he accepted the pastorate of Mt. Olive. Two years ago he conducted a revival for them and he had hardly returned to the city before he received a call which he did not consider. Now that they are without a pastor, they sent a special committee all the way to Lexington again urging him to consider their proposition. This church is the oldest organized Negro Baptist church in America. It has a membership of five thousand. It has been organized and operated by Negroes for: 121 years.

A Globe reporter has tried to get from Dr. Clark some intimation as to what he will do. He simply stated that he had not decided, but that he gave audience to both committees. It is known in Nashville that Mt. Olive is a large church carrying a large congregation, and that it has been built up by this minister. Other cities have seen his qualities and have admired them, and it seems that they are still asking with a hope of receiving his services. DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.

FATALLY HURT AT UNION STATION Mr. Robert Dobson, of 646 Fogg street, who had been a porter at the Union Station for some time was fatally injured while about his duties Sunday afternoon. It is stated that Mr. Dobson was sweeping and stepped backward, not knowing that the gate to the elevator was open. He fell down the shaft and was terribly mashed about the head, neck and shoulders by the elevator. The unfortunate man was taken to Eve's Infirmary, where he was tenderly cared for, but died some four or five hours later. Mr. Dobson was a highly respected gentleman and had many friends in Nashville and neighboring towns who were greatly shocked when they heard the news of his sudden death. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters. The funeral services were held at Clark Memorial Church on Tuesday afternoon and were largely attended. SPECIAL MISSIONARY SERMON BY BISHOP I. B. SCOTT. D. D. Bishop I. B. Scott, D. D., will preach a special missionary sermon Sunday afternoon, September 27, at 2:30 o'clock, at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Everybody is cordially invited. OPENING OF TURNER NORMAL. The formal opening of the Turner Normal and Industrial Institute, located at Shelbyville, Tenn., took place on Tuesday, September 22, and continued until Wednesday night, September 23. Representatives from all parts of the state were in attendance, but the most prominent visitors were Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., and Bishop H. B. Parks, of Chicago, Ill. The college which is named for Bishop Turner was established by him about twenty years ago, and he was invited to attend this opening to deliver an address. Bishop Parks is the president of the executive board, as the school is situated in his episcopal district. The opening was the most auspicious in the history of the institution, and President Jones expressed himself as highly pleased over the outlook for the scholastic year. The exercises opened Tuesday morning with an annual sermon by Rev. J. W. Smith, presiding elder of the East Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. A. L. Pinkston, of the West Tennessee Conference, delivered the annual address. At night Rev. G. R. Norman, of the Tennessee Conference, delivered an able sermon at the A. M. E. Church in Shelbyville. The house was packed and listened attentively. Dr. T. W. Haigler made a few remarks after the sermon. He was followed by Bishop Parks who fired the people with his eloquence. His talk was full of good advice and inspiration. Mr. D. A. Hart, of Nashville, was introduced and asked to say a few words. He said he did not feel that anything he might say would add to the occasion, but he knew that he could do something, and as it was about time to take a collection for Turner Normal he would do a little in that direction. A collection was lifted that amounted to several dollars. Bishop Turner was introduced and made a short talk. Wednesday a special meeting of the trustees and others interested in the school was held in the chapel. At this meeting Bishop Parks outlined a plan of operation to raise funds for the erection of a massive brick building for a girl's dormitory, and he urged the trustees and all the pastors to go to work in earnest to build up the school. He said, "If you will follow my guidance we will have a building in eight months." The ministers and members of the A. M. E. Conference are taking on new life under the leadership of Bishop Parks. They are desirous of having a college in Tennessee that will compare favorably with colleges in other states operated by the church. The reports from the three Conferences showed an increase over last year. Money collected by districts to date as follows: Tennessee Conference: Nashville District ..... $202 93 Shelbyville District ..... 177 00 Columbia District ..... 166 00 South Nashville District ..... 103 00 West Tennessee Conference District Fund: Memphis District ..... $167 00 South Memphis District ..... 135 75 Clarksville District ..... 141 80 Dixon District ..... 46 50 Total ..... $491 05 East Tennessee District Fund: Fayetteville District ..... $131 00 Chattanooga District ..... 70 00 Total ..... $201 00 Nashville District ..... $12 00 Shelbyville District ..... 19 65 Columbia District ..... 41 10 South Nashville District ..... 36 00 Total ..... $108 75 West Tennessee Conference: Clarksville ..... $19 00 Paris District ..... 13 00 Dixon District ..... 3 70 Total ..... $35 70 East Tennessee Endowment: Fayetteville District ..... $14 00 Chattanooga District ..... .

Turner lectured at the court house. The room was packed with eager hearers. Bishop Turner is one of the deepest thinkers of the age, and it is generally conceded that he is living centuries ahead of the times. His address Wednesday night was replete with words of wisdom, and the large assemblage listened attentively for nearly two hours. A standing vote of thanks was tendered the Bishop for his timely address. President Jones thanked every one for what they had done for the college, and said he was encouraged with the results accomplished. He spoke of the friendship of the citizens of Shelbyville to the institution, and said he did not believe a better locality could be found in the state for Turner College. Mr. D. A. Hart, of Nashville, who had made a second trip to be at the last session of the exercises, was introduced, but refused to have anything to say owing to the lateness of the hour. Every one that attended the opening exercises left inspired with a new determination to do more for the education of the Negro youth than they have ever done before. A feature of the exercises on Wednesday that deserves special mention was a solo by Miss Madge Boddie, of Mt Pleasant, Tenn. who is a student at Turner Normal. She has an exceptionally rich contralto voice, and bids fair to make her mark in the musical world. VERDI KINDERGARTEN.

One of the most efficient remedies for breaking up a cold during its earli- est stage is camphor. When the eyes begin to water and there is the ac- companying tingling of the nose and feeling of chilliness, place three drops ot camphor on a lump of loaf sugar and place the sugar in the mouth, Repeat this every fifteen minutes till four or five doses have been taken. At the same time place the feet where they will become thoroughly warm. This will usually prove effectual in breaking up a cold if the cold is taken at its very beginning. For a child but one drop should be placed upon the sugar, and five or six doses admin- istered. Segre MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

Our business has been steadily on the increase, un- til to-day it is not a question of com- parison in competition, but one of dif- ference. © 4 Our success has been due mostly to the friends and acquaintances we have made. That we have had knock- ers is true and just what we expected. They have been more amusing how- ever than harmful, and served ably to boost our business in the way of ad- yertising; for how many people will always come and see, ‘They said at first we “had no mon- ey to do business with.” When we put in the street the finest line of horses, carriages and funeral cars, they cried that we would never pay for them, ‘They formed a combination and cer- tain people combined by refusing to hire us carriages when we had large funerals. They soon learned that we had more capital than their clique— that all our carriages, hearses, cars, horses and paraphernalia were paid for and that we put in two additional carriages. Then they started the fairy tale that white men were backing us —giving us financial stamina and we were only agents. Representatives from various factories repudiated that falsehood, and then they got busy to inform the people that our prices were higher, The people already tired of the service given them, inquired about it, and found that instead of finding our prices higher, that our goods were superior, that our services were far in advance, and that the prices were lower. Seeing that their tactics would not work, then the cry was made “Help Cassius or I sink.” The faithful whose influence was bar- tered for so much percentage were called up and they got busy, some to the extent of offering their “influence” to us for so much per job, if we would increase the offer. To such offers we paid no attention, but kept on with the best service, until our business has outdistanced competition and it is merely opposition instead. | We have lived up to every pledge |made by our friends and ourselves and the people of Nashville are giving Jus their support, for which we are | indeed thankful. Much of our success is due to the space we have used in The Globe, |which is a good advertising medium Jand worthy of the support of all | classes of our people. Several years |ago we opened business in Memphis, .| Being attacked with typhoid fever, | we were so reduced in health, that it .|was doubtful if we should live. At .|that time we were conducting in Mo- bile, Ala., two drug stores, an under- -|taking establishment, a job printing office, ‘and a newspaper, while an un- dertaking business, newspaper and job printing offices in Memphis were being operated at the same time. Un: der the circumstances we sold out our Memphis interests and later closed out our Mobile interests and traveled 1!
