THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT? People of Nashville and the Whole South ARE ASKING THIS ABOUT FISK UNIVERSITY. MATTER ONE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE—POSITION HIGHLY IMPORTANT—REQUIRES MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE—REPUTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY DEMANDS IT—NATURE OF THE WORK OF PECULIAR CHARACTER—MANY FAVOR NEGRO FOR THE PLACE. In 1900 when it was evident that the curtain of day was about to be rung down on Dr. Cravath, the late president of Fisk University, the friends of that institution began to ponder over the question as to where a successor could be found. Dr. Cravath had been associated with Fisk University so long that to speak of one was to think of both. Every sane person knew that death would separate him from the institution, but to think of the separation was like the thought of separating child and parent. Dr. Cravath was one of the old school of pioneers who came to the South in the interest of the Negro youth's education, when the conditions were not as favorable as they are now; when Negro education was looked upon as a menace to the safety of the South by many and as an utter impossibility by others. He labored incessantly and lived to see Fisk University hold a position among the leading educational institutions in the South, and to have an international reputation. So when the final summons came all the citizens of Nashville were stricken with grief over the loss of a valuable citizen, and the Negroes throughout the Southland mourned the loss of one of their best friends. But the chair of the president of Fisk University was vacant and must be filled. In due time the board of management made a selection in the person of Dr. J. G. Merrill, D. D. Dr. Merrill had been connected with the university for some time and was familiar with all of its workings. He served as president until a few months ago, when of his own volition he turned over the reins of the institution to the board of control, stating at the time that he could not run the university and raise funds for the sustenance of the same. The announcement of his resignation came as a surprise to all, for the school had prospered under his administration, and he was well liked by every one who came in contact with him. Dr. Merrill was one of the most popular educators in the South, and his resignation naturally raised the question in the minds of the people, "Who will succeed him?" and as time wears on the anxiety becomes more apparent. The selection of a president of an institution like Fisk University is a matter that demands careful consideration. The man must have all the qualities necessary to fit him to be president of a university, and in addition the courage, if he is a white man, to adapt himself to the conditions peculiar to such positions in the South. If he is a Negro peculiar conditions will face him, but if perchance he be a Southern Negro, these conditions will not serve as a damper, but rather as a stimulant, if he is courageous. There are a great many of the people who are deeply interested in Fisk University, North and South, who believe that the day has come when the conditions demand that a Negro be made president of the institution, and this sentiment is growing every day. It is pointed out that the colleges and universities for the education of the Negro youth in the South that have Negro men at the head as principals and presidents are receiving the most liberal patronage. It is also said that Negro presidents run their institutions more economically than white presidents are able to run those over which they preside. It is further cited that white men who are competent to fill the positions as presidents of these universities and colleges can secure positions elsewhere at better salaries, and as a result cannot be in- NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908. duced to come South to do missionary work, and, on the other hand, Negro men of the highest training and amply qualified in every way are anxious for the positions that they may do service for their people. Just who will be elected president of Fisk University is a matter entirely in the hands of a special committee appointed for that task, but whoever he is, whether black or white, the people will accept as having been selected after careful consideration by the committee selected by the board. PROMINENT COUPLE TO MARRY. PROMINENT COUPLE TO MARRY. Invitations are out announcing the approaching marriage of Miss Georgia Anna Bradford to the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd. The nuptial knot will be tied on Tuesday evening, October 20, 1908, in the auditorium of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Owing to the prominence of the contracting parties, it is expected that the approaching wedding will be one of the stellar social events of the season and will be looked fward to with great interest by the friends of the happy couple. Miss Bradford is the only daughter of Mrs. Josie Bradford Lowery, until recently a resident of this city, but now residing in Huntsville, Ala. She is a graduate of the city High School and later completed a business course at Fargo, N. D., to which place she went upon finishing the schools of this city. Miss Bradford has been prominently identified with the social affairs of the city being a member of the popular women's organization—the H. T. G. M. Club. Her pleasant disposition has endeared her to a large circle of friends who will doubtless crowd the church to see the Hymeneal ceremony enacted. The Rev. H. A. Boyd is the oldest son of Dr. R. H. Boyd, the founder, Secretary, Treasurer and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing House. Mr. Boyd is one of the most active young men of the race, being identified with a number of business institutions in and out of the city, besides devoting a large portion of his time religious affairs. He is the Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and is closely identified with his father in directing the affairs of the printing house of the Board on Second avenue, North. He is a director in the One Cent Savings Bank and is Business Manager of the Globe Publishing Co. In his church work, he has proven himself an almost invaluable adjunct of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday School. His enthusiasm, it would seem, has been imparted to the class, which he teaches in the the school, and it is now possibly, the leading Sunday-school class of the city in all that appertains to work of this nature. Following the wedding at the church a reception will be held at the residence of Dr. R. H. Boyd, 523 Second avenue, North. The bride and groom will be at home after October the twenty-second, at 1603 Harding street. BISHOP TYREE AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH. Bishop Evans Tyree will preach at St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday morning, October 11. The choir has made special preparation for the occasion and the services promise to be of a high order, and it goes without saying that the church will be crowded ti its full capacity. Rev. C. H. Boone, the pastor, is getting ready for his conference, which convenes at Shelbyville, Tenn., on the 21st. FIRE DESTROYS RESIDENCE. The residence of Mr. Robert A. Walker, 1905 Jo Johnston avenue, was completely destroyed by fire early Monday morning. The fire, which began in the portion of the building occupied as a kitchen, is supposed to have caught from a defective flue. The flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save much of the household effects, and the loss will amount to a considerable sum. It is said, though, that the losses will be fully covered by insurance. Mr. Walker, the owner of the building, which was occupied by his family, is a member of one of Nashville's oldest and most prominent families. He has been an employee of the U. S. Railway Mail Service for a number of years. At present he is a clerk in charge on the Nashville-Montgomery line. It is thought that Mr. Walker will rebuild as soon as the insurance is adjusted. Mrs. W. L. Miller, of South Pittsburg, Tenn., is the guest of Mrs. Genie B. Williams, of 1004 McLemore street. Mrs. Miller is here for the purpose of entering her daughter, Fuchsia, in school at Hoffman Hall. A. M. E. ANNUAL CONFERENGES First to Convene at Winchester on October 14. TENNESSEE ANNUAL GONFERENCE AT SHELBYVILLE. OPENS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21 —WEST TENNESSEE MEETS AT PARIS ON 28TH —AFRICAN METHODISM FORTY-TWO YEARS OLD IN THIS STATE—NEW BISH- OP VERY POPULAR—NEW DE- PARTMENTS OF THE CHURCH TO LOCATE HERE—FOUR GEN- ERAL DEPARTMENTS IN CITY. Next Wednesday morning, october 14, will witness the beginning of the annual conferences of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee. The session will convene at Winchester, with Bishop A. B. Parks, D. D., presiding. This is the youngest of the three conferences in this state, the Tennessee Annual Conference, which is forty-two years old, being the senior body. The second to hold its sessions will be the Tennessee Conference, which convenes at Shelbyville, October 21. Forty-two years ago the oldest branch of colored Methodists, known as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, set up its standard in the State of Tennessee. The organization took place at the home of one of the local preachers, who afterwards became one of the ploneers and leaders in the church, living to a ripe old age. This was Rev. Napoleon L. Merry. His widow, a second wife, is still living at Shelbyville. The Tennessee Conference will hold its forty-first session in Shelbyville beginning Wednesday, October 22. Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., presiding. There is not a man living to-day who was a member of the organization at its birth. Bishop Parks is the ninth bishop to serve as presiding officer, Bishops A. W. Wayman and J. M. Brown having served twice. Fifteen different men have acted as secretary since the organization. Rev. B. A. J. Nixon, deceased, and Dr. J. A. Jones served longer than any others. Each one has served eight years. Dr. Jones is the present Secretary. The lives of both of these men have for a number of years been intimately associated with the educational interests of the conference, both having devoted much time to the founding and development of Turner Normal College at Shelbyville The approaching session of the conference will be attended with much interest on account of this being the first year of the new quadrennium and the presence of the new bishop, Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D., who is exceedingly popular. Many will also be attracted to this conference in order to visit Turner College, an institution founded and supported by the African Methodists of Tennessee. The African Methodists seem to take great pride in this school, giving hundreds of dollars to its support annually. Dr. J. A. Jones is President of the college, and the growth of the institution since his incumbency has been marvelous. When he took charge three years ago there was not the semblance of a boarding department for either teachers or students. All had to seek lodging where they could find it out in town. The school was taught in an old building that was built and used for a factory during the war. The college now owns a twenty-acre tract of land, a part of which is under cultivation and the rest used as a campus on which is situated a large frame structure, recently built, which is used as a girl's dormitory. This is at present the administration building. The transfer system is as old as Methodism. By this system ministers of one conference anywhere in the entire connection are liable to be sent from one conference to another and stationed in important charges without the least friction or dissatisfaction, either to them or to the brethren among whom they are sent. On account of this system the nearer conference time approaches the greater the anxiety on the part of the members of the various churches. Nashville churches are very much concerned as to their pastors for next year. Several of them have been in their charges two and three years, and it is the opinion of some that several changes will be made. The West Tennessee Conference convenes at Paris on the 28th, and this conference also interests quite a number of the people here, as several of the preachers in that conference are residents of Nashville. Coming close upon the announcement of these conferences is another that is of much interest to the city of Nashville. In addition to the one general department that has been located here for over twenty years, there are to be three others, namely: The A. M. E. Church Review, the official magazine of the church of which Prof. H. T. Kealing is editor and manager. This department has heretofore been located in Philadelphia, Pa., but Prof. Kealing decided to move to this city for the many advantages offered. Dr. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Preachers' Protective Association, had made his headquarters here. He is a product of Tennessee, and has lived in Nashville several years, having moved here from Memphis. His department is in its infancy, but promises to be one of the strongest in the church. It is in the nature of an endowment association for the protection of the ministers in declining years. It is also open to members of the church. The other general department to be located her is the Allen Christian Endeavor Department. This department was formerly conducted in Florida, but the last General Conference of the Church ordered that the headquarters be in Nashville. Rev. J. C. Caldwell, of Kansas City, Mo., was elected as the successor to Rev. E. J. Gregg, and it is learned that he will soon open his headquarters here. The locating of these departments here means a great deal to the city of Nashville in a financial way. It means that at least $50,000 that has been going in other directions annually will be turned this way. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. Mr. Ed Berry, who lives on Cedar street, near Twenty-second avenue, was accidentally shot by Mr. John Gains, who lives on Patterson street. The shooting occurred on Cedar street near Tenth avenue, where the young men worked in a small coal yard belonging to Mr. Silas Gains. It seems that young Gains was examining the pistol when it was in some way discharged, the shot entering young Berry's side near the heart. He was immediately carried to the City Hospitalities at the hospital state that the young man was not dangerously hurt and that he had been released, but returned each day for treatment. MISS STEVENS RETURNS TO FISK. Miss Alma L. Stevens, who was a student in Fisk University last session, and who spent her entire vacation at her home in Greenville, Ala. arrived in the city Monday morning to again enter the noted institution. Miss Stevens while in the city will reside with her brother and sister-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Stevens, of 1408 Hynes street. TEACHERS LEAVE FOR POSTS OF DUTY. Misses Addie and Willie Henley left the city last week to begin their school work in Alabama. Miss Addie Henley will teach at China, Ala., while Miss Willie goes to Waugh, Ala. Both young ladies are graduates from Tuskegee. They have been teaching in Alabama since they finished school, spending their summers in Nashville. The past summer they have engaged in active Sunday-school work, both being members of Philathea Class No. 16 of Mt. Olive Sunday-School. THE INDUSTRIAL AND LITERARY CLUB. The Ladies' Industrial and Literary Club met at the residence of Mrs. M. T. Goff September 24, at three o'clock. After the regular routine of business new officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. H. Hadley, President; Mesdames S. Lewis and A. Lowery, Vice Presidents; Mrs. B. Brooks, Secretary; Mrs. Goff, Treasurer. After the completion of business the ladies were served a two-course menu. ENTERTAINS AT DINNER. Mrs. Laura Carr, of Tenth street, entertained a few friends at dinner a few days ago. The dining table was very prettily arranged and the menu was all that could be desired. Seated around the table were Mr. and Mrs. Waddle Carr. Mrs. Carrie Bowman. Mrs. Mattle Greene. Miss Emma J. Burton and Mr. William Ward. $5,000 GIVEN FOR TEACHERS' SALARIES. TENNESSEE MEMBER OF PEABODY EDUCATIONAL BOARD FAILED TO REPRESENT ALL THE PEOPLE—"DID THE TRUSTEES MAKE NO PROVISION FOR THE NEGRO CHILDREN IN THIS STATE?" IS THE QUESTION BEING ASKED—OTHER STATES MORE LIBERAL. While a part of the citizens of Tennessee are rejoicing over the news contained in the dispatch from New York of October 6, to the effect that the trustees of the Peabody Fund would assemble Thursday for their fifty-first annual meeting, at which it is more than likely that the final disposition of the main fund, aggregating $2,500,000, would be made. Another part almost as large, quite as industrious, and really as good citizens, tax-paying, law-abiding, were sad, not because of the decision that the entire sum was to go to educational institutions of the South, of which the Peabody Normal College at Nashville was to be the beneficiary, to receive as her part $1,000,000, with the proviso that the State of Tennessee, cit yof Nashville, and County of Davidson, raise a similar sum; but because of the total disregard of the main proviso in the bequest of this fund, and because only a part of the children of the state, counties, and cities, whose parents are law-abiding tax-payers, are being deprived of the benefits of this great educational fund, which was given to the "deserving youth" of the South. The question is now being asked, since the news leaked out that the final distribution will be made. "Did the trustees make no proviso for the Negro children in Tennessee?" The State seems to have closed its eyes against the condition that really exists in educational quarters. They are making no appropriations for State Schools or Normal Schools for Negro children. It has often been pointed out to the officials as well as to the superintendent of education of Tennessee that the State is woefully and seemingly intentionally blind. A committee waited on the educational committee of the last legislature, and urged that an appropriation be made for some school, making it a State institution where Negro children could get the benefit of an education, aided by the State as the other Southern States are doing. The cities of Tennessee, proud as they are, loyal as they have proven, enterprising as they are showing themselves to be, are not ready to admit that this great commonwealth would refuse to do for them as other cities of its sister States are doing for their law-abiding citizens. It is not absolutely certain what to be done this fall, but to the present there seem to be no one in position to say what arrangements will be made for the education of the Negro youth. Hundreds of families are not particular about sending their children to denominational schools, but in Tennessee, if they do not send them to denominational schools, they will be deprived of both a higher education and a competent industrial education, as there are none but denominational colleges and academies in the State of Tennessee operated for Negro children. After they leave the city schools, which is possibly the best showing that can be made, they must either go to a Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Congregational, or some other religious educational institution. The declaration has often been made that Tennessee and its lawmakers were above such smallness and prejudice, which have been attributed to their failure to make appropriations. And yet the good people of this great Volunteer State, having a member of the Peabody Educational Board, not only has not represented all the people in this instance, but has failed on all occasions so far as the Negro youth is con perned. The dispatches further Biated that the remainder of the fund, bout $1,500,000, would probably go to laryland, Missouri and Kentucky. these three States are no doubt Making a better showing than Ten- tessee has made. The State of Maryland provides for the Negro youth, the State of Missouri has her tate school at Jefferson City for Ne- o The State of Kentucky gives them a beautiful, well-equipped State titution at Frankfort. Where, O ere, can you find Tennessee's {State Wducational Institution for the Negro youth? is the bewailing moan jfrom her ill-treated citizens. The following dispatch relating to the imatter was issued day before yester- | New York, Oct. 7.—Surprise was yecasioned to-day when the Trustees Mf the Peabody education fund met in this city decided not to make a final distribution of the fand of §2, 0,000 left by George Peabody, of chusetts, in 1867, for educating the children of Southern States. In festablishing the fund the donor pro- ded that the income of the $2,500, 1000 was to be used each year for ed- fuecational purposes, and that at the fend of thirty years the Trustees could tribute the money among such ed- leational institutions as they should jnelect. | Ait a previous meeting of the Trust: fees, among whom is President Roose. elt, it was practically decided to Make the distribution. In 1875 the (Trustees, believing that the South- n States were providing proper kcommon school education for the children of that section, established tthe Peabody Normal College for pTeachers in Nashville, Tenn. In the Mistribution of the fund it was intend- d to give $1,000,000 outright to this ollege and to apportion the balance of the fund among such other educa- Honal institutions as the Trustees ould name, | The reason given for not making ‘the distribution, it was stated, was ‘that the Peabody Normal College for Teachers has not complied with the conditions stipulated by the Trustees hen the college was founded. The Agreement was that to entitle the Peabody College to $1,000,000 when he distribution was made, appropria- ions aggregating $750,000 must first be made for the benefit of the college Iby the city of Nashville, Davidson Sounty and the State of Tennessee eph H. Choate and Richard Ol- hey, of the Board of Trustees, were sppointed a committee to investigate whether this condition has been lived mp to, and their report to-day showed that the city of Nashville and David- on\ County have made appropriations amounting to $300,000, but that the ‘State has as yet made no appropria- tion. The committee was given to finderstand, however, that the Legis- ture of the State, which will meet Mext January, will probably make the ippropriation. Therefore the trustees ecided not to distribute the fund until some’ time after next January. if the State of Tennessee makes the lecessary appropriation the trustees nay call a meeting in February in Vashington, D. C., and then make the distribution. Pi eg MR. ARTHUR P. GREEN DIES IN ST. LOUIS, MO. Mr. Arthur P. Green, formerly of city, but who has resided in St. uis, Mo., for about five years, died nm that ‘city Sunday evening at 9 p. M., October 4. Mr. Green underwent in operation for appendicitis, Thurs- , October Ist, and at once seemed to out of danger, but a reaction set up which resulted in his death on the date stated above. He had enjoyed good health up to about two weeks of iis death. The remains arrived in hville Wednesday morning accom- panied by his brother and sister-in-law Mr, and Mrs, Robert Green.

George Smith, a member of the Nashville police force, a man highly respected by all classes of citizens, a man fully competent, an efficient offi- cer, a polite and self-respecting citizen, was compelled to shoot two men whom he had placed under arrest Wednes- day morning. Sergeant Smith has been a member of the Nashville police department for a long time and his conduct as an officer has not as yet been questioned. Judging from the account of the affair, it would seem that he was justified, and that only in the protection of his own life did he fire the fatal shot. It appears that his escape was a narrow one, and that for bis courage and presence of mind, a different story would have been printed and much more sorrow would have been brought through Greater Nashville, On Wednesday morning after the shooting the following account ap- peared in a morning paper: In an attempt to escape after being arrested about 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, Lucian Farish was shot and instantly killedby Sergt.George Smith, the brother of the dead man, Hubbard Farish, was dangerously wounded and Sergt. Smith himself was badly beaten about the head, The tragedy took place almost directly in front of the fire hall adjoining the police station. The Farish brothers were arrested on the Public Square by Sergt. Smith and were being taken to the police station by him. Both the brothers were drunk, and Hubbard Farish, car- ried a heavy stick. As they were about to enter the police station, Hubbard Farish exclaimed, “This is far enough; I'm not going another d—d step.” Both the prisoners attempted to run, and Hubbard Farish. struck viciously at Sergt. Smith with a large stick he car- ried. Lucian Farish broke away and ran only a few steps when he fell, shot through the heart, In the meantime Sergt. Waddell, on duty at the desk within the sta- tion, rushed out and found Hubbard Farish and Sergt. Smith in the diffil- culty, the Sergt. blinded by blood and attempting to shoot Hubbard Farish, who was beating him over the head. When Sergt. Waddell ran out, Hubbard Farish, who had al- ready been shot through the hip, started to run, but on command of Sergt. Waddeil and at the point of a pistol, he stopped and was taken into the station. The city ambulance came within a few minutes and took Sergt. Smith and Hubbard Farish to the City Hospital. It is sald Farish will re- cover. Sergt. Smith is painfully but not seriously hurt. The Farish brothers were first said to be from Franklin, living on Route No, 2, but it was stated later that Lu- clan Farisb, the man who was killed, has lately lived on First avenue, this city. He was apparently about 30 years old, while Hubbard Farish ts about 38. Lucian Farish, it is safd, had been a blacksmith of this city, having formerly been engaged to shoe the horses for the fire department, The Farish brothers were seen in a buggy early Tuesday night, near the Maxwell House, by Patrolman Cas- tleman. They were apparently some- what drunk at that time, and the pa- trolman thought then he would have to place them under arrest. When they passed Castleman, Lucian Far- ish is said to have jeered at the officer, and both went on at a rapid rate, throwing back some taunt at the pa- trolman. When Hubbard Farish was being car- ried from the station to the ambulance, ‘standing just outside, he was shriek- ing and praying, a part of his prayers being for “the man that did this.” From the reports of the conduct of the two brothers, who had been placed under arrest, {t was close quarters for the officer, None will no doubt be able to forget this accident Se ialgeet FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL. ‘There is a growing interest being manifested in Sunday-school work at the First Baptist Sunday-School which is encouraging to all who are deeply Interested in the success of this Poe BS eG Se Wl) never a: Scere ok ee eee ee ‘There is a growing interest being manifested in Sunday-school work at the First Baptist Sunday-School which is encouraging to all who are deeply Interested in the success of this most {important service.

City Council Approves His Action on eman: Line Resdietion. a oe et ee Two messages were received from Mayor Brown at the regular meeting of the city council Thursday night, one announcing his declination to sub- ‘scribe to three paragraphs of the pre- amble of the resolution providing for an investigation of the lease of wharf property to the Ryman steamboat line, and the other announcing his veto of the Sweeney bill, depriving the board of health of authority to enforce the order recently promulgated by it, and prohibiting persons residing in suburban localities of the city from emptying waste water from their bath tubs and sinks into the alleys and streets adjacent to their premises. The message relative to the Ryman line affair has heretofore been printed, the other message fs as follows» MAYOR'S MESSAGE. _ 2O ie Senorenie Viey YOUTH, Gentlemen; I herewith return, without my approval, Bill No, 131, passed at your last regular session, repealing section 964 of the Digest of the laws of the city,, “I understand that this bill was passed, alone for the purpose of re- lieving certain classes of our citizens who had city water on their premises, but had no sewer connection, from the operation of section 964, which prohib- its. asnong other things, the draining of surface water or dirty water into the streets or alleys. “I am persuaded that the council- men Who yoted for the passage of this bill did not realize that they were vot- ing also at the same time to repeal a measure which prohibits the deposit in the streets and alleys of the city ‘of ashes, cleanings and sweepings from houses, or any other trash, filth or of- fensiye matter.’ “Whatever may be said of the wis- dom of repealing that portion of the above section relating to the draining of dirty water into the streets there can he, in my mind, no reason or ex- cuse for repealing that portion of the law which prohibits the placing in al- leys and streets refuse and filth of all character. “We should place the health of the comniunity above all other considera- tions, and no community can be a healthy community if refuse from houses, filth and offensive’ matter be allowed to accumulate in the streets and alleys of the city. “T consider the: repeal of this sec- tion a decided backward step in the health laws of the city. “This, October 8, 1908. “Respectfully submitted, “JAS. S. BROWN, Mayor.” ‘The reading of the mayor’s message was followed by some discussion as to mieten or not, in the event of the repealinent of section 964, there would be no, law in force against the deposit of ashes, etc., on public thoroughfares of the city, Councilman Sweeney evi- sont had anticipated that this very question would be raised, for he had in his possession a typewritten copy of another section of the digest making it unlawful to deposit ashes, etc., on streets and alleys of the city, this he read. | The section is No. 353. On a motion to pass the bill, the mavor’s veto notwithstanding, seven councilmen yoted “no,” but four of them changed their votes. MRS, ARNOLD DIES AT McMINN- | VILLE.

As we have intimated in these columns from the beginning of the campaign between Patterson and Carmack, the Negroes in great numbers, for the first time in their history in this state, will bolt the republican nomination and support Mr. Patterson. There are various reasons why these colored voters will support Patterson. These, however, can be epitomized in two statements: (1) Patterson has made the best governor since "Parson" Brownlow's time by daring to do right regardless of race; and, (2) the conduct of the republican party in Tennessee. Mr. Patterson has so conducted the affairs of the office as to merit an endorsement from the people of Tennessee, of his administration by re-electing him to the position he seeks. The state, during his administration, has enjoyed a wonderful prosperity. We have been free from that saturnalia of railroad and corporation baiting, practiced in our neighboring states. It is true that Mr. Carmack, through the railroad commission, tried to bring about the same conditions in this state that Hoke Smith had inflicted upon Georgia, Glenn upon North Carolina, and Comer on Alabama; but Mr. Patterson's resolute stand for fairness killed the agitation and saved the citizens of the state thousands of dollars that would have been spent in useless litigation. As a result of Governor Patterson's stand fewer men were idle in Tennessee during the panic, than in almost any Southern state. But the best thing that can be said of Governor Patterson and the main reason why The Globe, a nominally republican paper, shall support him, a democrat, for re-election is: He has dared to be fair in dealing with our race. Two elements are contending for the mastery here in the South. The one will grab any issue to get office. It usually deals in extremes and its leaders are more often than otherwise, "poor whites" of Jeff Davis, Carmack, Vardaman variety who understand the prejudices of their fellow poor whites and do not fail to appeal to them when there is an office in sight. The other element is composed of the conservative, better class that scorn the base methods used to get unworthy men in office. In this element are the Pattersons, the Joe Browns, the Luke Wrights of the South and it is this element that is the Negro's best friend. Even if Patterson were not the better man, judging by his record, The Globe oculd not support the Hon. G. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1908. N. Tillman. We would not knowingly support a man, who, professing to believe the same principles that we do, yet publicly declares, as it is charged he did, that the enfranchisement of our fathers was the mistake of the nineteenth century. There can be no "jily-whitees" in a truly represented republican party and when a convention puts such a candidate before the people, a republican is not bolting the party by voting against him. Again it is high time that the Negro should show some manhood and that he at least has self-respect. Two years ago not a Negro was asked, publicly, in this section to vote for H. Clay Evans. The conventions held in this county and congressional district were so called and manipulated as to keep the Negroes out; the conventions were called in violation of the rules of the National Convention, but the "Committee named delegates" were endorsed and seated by the "I won't hear you for one minute" state executive committee. These are but a few of the things the "lily-whites" are asking the Negro to swallow. Some may forget their self-respect and take the draught, but as for The Globe, we revolt. THE AUCTION BLOCK Thos. E. Watson, the populist candidate for President and one of the most brilliant of living historians, is showing by his attacks on Bryan to what assinine lengths political campaigns will lead men who ordinarily are remarkably sane. Watson, in attacking Bryan's flirtation with the Negro voter, intimates that the Negro will go back on the auction block as he did years ago. Watson knows this will never happen. He is a student of history and knows that revolutions do not move backward. As to the Negro's venality, to which Watson really had reference, he will find as many whites selling their votes as the Negro and if the auction block is to be used for the sale of the purchasable vote, who could doubt but that more whites would face the auctioneer than any other race? This, too, would happen right here in the South, if such men as Mr. Watson and others are to be believed. For the past two years or more, a contest has been waged for prohibition. Watson, like others, claims that where the wets have won the "Whiskey Ring" has bought the voters. Negroes have not been permitted to register their will on this moral question, as it has been left, in most cases where the public has had a voice, to the voters of the democratic primary—it being understood that all white voters, regardless of party affiliation might vote if they so desired. Such being the case, if the "Whiskey ring" has bought up voters through the South to carry any of these elections, they certainly did not purchase them of Negroes. The White man is loud in boasting of his immaculate morals. He can not help boasting. He inherited it from his ancestors. But with all of his boasting, he possesses no monopoly on good moral. The average white man will sell his vote and influence as quickly as the average Negro, the only difference being the price received. The weakness of surrendering one's opinion for monetary consideration or "good position" is in fact more highly developed in the white man than the Negro because perhaps, there are more of him and he is more frequently tempted. The Hon. G. N. Tillman, who, in his Gallatin speech, intimated that he was glad the republican party was rid of such members as those Negroes who had endorsed Patterson, is now singing another song. Or rather Mr. Tillman is singing the same song, with the soft pedal working for all it is worth. In his Sevierville speech, he only mentions the Negro indirectly as an appointee of the Governor and as a criminal beneficiary of the pardoning power exercised by Mr. Patterson. Mr. Tillman has been quoted as saying that the enfranchisement of the Negro was one of the greatest mistakes the country has ever made. He has not changed his mind on this question, but prefers in his campaign talks, since this is one year the "I won't hear you one minute" executive committee wants the Negro to vote, to let the matter rest. The indications are that Mr. Tillman will be defeated by the very voters the representatives of whom could not be heard for one minute in the convention. The publicity given by The Globe to the alleged case of the mixing of the races on Jefferson street may cause for a time a cessation of the nocturnal visits of the old white man, but it should awaken the police to a duty they have knowingly, too, we believe, neglected up unto the present. Such flagrant violations of the South's paramount law—"Thou shall not cross the color line"—should not be tolerated for one minute. Kentucky "night riders" are as active as ever. A mob, composed of about fifty of these villains who seek the cover of night for their dirty work, set fire to the house of a man at Hickman, Ky., and when he and his family started out, killed him, his five-year old daughter and a small baby outright and wounded the mother and three children. The oldest son is supposed to have been burned to death. With such inhuman barbarities going unpunished, Kentucky is a fit field for the missionaries upon whom thousands of dollars are being spent annually to Christianize the savages. Kentucky ought to stretch the neck of every one of these murderers of women and children. If the state is unable to cope with the situation then assistance should be requested from the United States government. The democratic executive committee, headed by Norman Mack, is doing the expected thing—the wrong thing at the right time. The jackass is a fit emblem of the party. Some one at headquarters has exercised the good sense heretofore to tie those twin evils, Jeff Davis and Vardaman at home but at the right moment the expected has happened. Hoke Smith and Ned Carmack are to speak in Indiana and Ohio. As a well-wisher of Mr. Taft, we are glad to hear this news. Hoke Smith, one of the inciters of the Atlanta massacre, and Carmack who is the most radical man on the race question ever sent to Congress from Tennessee, ought to and doubt less will drive thousands of doubtful voters back into the G. O. P. Let Bryan bid for the Negro votes. He wants it. He needs it. But if an auction block is to be established for purchasable voters, the Negro will have to take his accustomed back seat while the "Whisky Ring voters" are being disposed of from the South. These with the "thrifty farmers" of of the North, East and West, and the "workers" of the cities, will use up all of the campaign funds before a chance is had to buy the Negro. Texas reports a mob lynching a Negro for criminally assaulting his own daughter. The mob must have been composed of whites as it is alleged to have broken into the jail. They grow big things in Texas even their newspaper lies. A white mob breaks into a jail because a colored woman is assaulted! Tennessee borders upon Missouri and perhaps we inherited more than our share of "show-me-ness." The ward heeler is getting busy. It is only once in four years that the bosses pass out the dough to the "faithful" and these try to control the unthinking. It is time that the voters declared themselves free from the henchmen and vote as their conscience directs and every thinking man's conscience will direct him to vote for Patterson. Last week we referred to the unseemly practice of preachers and bishops mixing in politics to the detriment of the churches which they are being paid to serve. The article, which we reprint from the Philadelphia Tribune, shows how far this has gone and makes charges which should cause the "character" of the bishops in question to be passed upon at once.

"Shall the people rule?" queries Mr. Bryan, and the lesser lights of the "unterrified" take up the question as the paramount issue of the campaign. If Bryan and his cohorts really want the people to rule why not wage their campaign in the South? It is here the people are disfranchised. The Nashville surgeon has come to the front with another difficult and rare surgical operation. The operation was successful and adds a meed of praise to the school in this city which has the services of such gifted surgeons. The democrats of Davidson County are about to split on the state-wide prohibition question and get out two sets of candidates for the legislature. Let them split. The more fights the merrier. MORE COMPLIMENTS ON THE GREATER NASHVILLE EDITION OF THE GLOBE. The Greater Nashville Edition of the Nashville Globe. The Nashville Globe comes to us of date September 4, 1908, dressed in twenty-four pages as an edition of Greater Nashville. We take this opportunity to compliment the Nashville Globe in its great undertaking and successful effort in the presentation to the public such a record breaker for a Negro journal in the South, to even attempt to bring out so great an issue for a weekly paper. But when we mention the names of the propietors of the Globe Publishing Company, this was a guarantee full and sufficient for every one to know that the edition of Greater Nashville would be what they represented it before its publication. J. O. Battle is President and Editor; C. H. Burrill, Secretary; H. A. Boyd, Treasurer; D. A. Hart, Business Manager. Each of these gentlemen is well known in the community. They are young men of sterling qualities, adepts in the business world and worthy representatives of the Negro race. They make themselves interested in everything that tends to the uplift of their people religiously, socially, intellectually, morally and politically. The Nashville Globe has done its part in striking terrific blows in defense of the race at all times; and made some utterances that some people of our race would not make in its onslaught against lynchings and other outrages committed upon our people. The Nashville Globe has been out-spoken on the Negro Problem, by giving the Negro side of that vexed question. It never lets up with its Herculean and sledge hammer strokes on the Jim Crow Car laws where and when ever it has bobbled up its hydra-headed skeleton. The Nashville Globe has the good wishes of the Pythian News and prays that it may live long to continue the fight for the race and tell of its rapid progress and great enterprises as set forth in its Greater Nashville edition. Gentlemen, here is to you."—The Nashville Pythian News. FURTHER COMPLIMENTS FROM A BROOKLYN BUSINESS MAN. Mr. H. A. Williamson, of Williamson & Company, 197 Halsey street, Brooklyn, N.

Personal acquaintance with several of the management vouchsafes the statement that the Globe could not have produced other than such a superb edition. Allow me to mention one important feature. I have noticed in the Globe the absence of dried out 'plate matter,' which is conclusive evidence that the management is wide awake and can obtain abundant news matter, thus making the sheet interesting and true to its purpose.

To The Nashville Globe: Last Saturday night, October 3, at Hickman, Ky., a mob of 50 so-called nightriders killed and mortally wounded every member of a colored family, numbering in all seven—husband, wife and five children. David Walker, it is reported, had cursed a white woman and drew a gun on a white man, for which the mob went to his house about 12 o'clock on the night mentioned and, after using oil to make their work more expeditions, set it afire and waited, (Continued on Page 6.)

The fair which was held last week was pronounced by every one to be the most successful of any previous year. For several years, the stock-holders had to raise extra funds to pay off the current expenses incident to running the fair, but they were never dis- couraged, and each year doubled their efforts with the result that the fair just closed surpassed the expectations of its most ardent promoters. They were not only able to make good all of ‘the prizes and premiums offered and to meet other expenses, but had left ever good dividends. . Tt was a delightful surprise when at the opening of the fair, September 24, there were such varied exhibits. ‘The live stock shown was of a high degree and, without doubt, as good as could be found anywhere in the State. The races were of a high order, and formed one of the fair’s most promi- ent features. The floral hall teemed with exhibits which showed rare taste and fine arts. There were numerous attractions on the grounds which kept the visitors engaged from the time of their entrance until their exit. Fully three thousand people attended _ the three days’ season, many coming from other parts of the state, and all ex pressed highest praise for the wise se lection of amusements, the splendid variety of products shown, and for the Management in general. The order and deportment were excellent—not an angry word was heard. The servic of officers was never needed.

COMMUNICATION. with guns ready, to shoot down those within when they should try to make their escape. Walker, with three of his children, was the first to come out, and all of them went down before the deadly rain of bullets which came from every direction. His wife who had witnessed the fate of her husband and children hesitated, but the intense heat of the flames drove her forth. As she, with her infant in her arms, left the burning building she met a storm of lead from the guns of the surrounding mob and was fatally injured, while the infant was killed. It must have been a sickening sight even to the fiends who were doing the murderous work to see that defenseless woman clinging to her babe with all of an instinctive mother's love—the most sacred and deathless thing in all of this world—trying to save and protect it from harm, even in that awful hour of her utter hopelessness and despair. Nowhere on earth could there have been planed and executed a deed of crime more fiendish for ferocity. No doubt most of the men in that horrible affair had families, and yet they could without heart murder the innocent wife and little children who had nothing to do with what the husband and father had done, if he had done anything. It is possible that he may have had words with the white man, but the other charge is not to be believed. To mitigate the demoralizing effect of the brutal atrocity some kind of justifying tale had to be concocted and sent out to the world, so Walker was accused of cursing a white woman. But no name was given nor were the circumstances relative to the cursing mentioned. There are reasons why no name was given, because it is not remotely probable that the man would have done such a thing. The killing of Walker should have appeased the fury of the mob, without the slaughtering of his wife and children. Of course, his offence against the white man—eliminating the improbable fish story about him cursing a white woman—did not justify the general massacre of the entire family. The annals of crime, nowhere in Christendom or heathendom, furnish a more reprehensible and hellish butchery than that for which fifty men at Hickman, Ky., are guilty of. They outraged the laws of the land, of humanity, and of God, yet the press reports say that no arrests have been made and that it is not probable any will ever be made. It is an awful and an evil day for law and order when such a damnable deed is allowed to go without any pretense being made to ferret out the perpetrators. When MacDuff heard of the slaying of his wife and children by the order of Macbeth, exclaimed in the bitterness of his despair, "Did heaven look on and would not defend!" But retribution evertook Macbeth, and it was heaven that sent it. So will it ever be that murderers will some day, soon or late, according to heaven's decree of evenhanded justice, be called upon to stand face to face with their crimes. There would be no need to moralize thus, were the laws of the land to be depended on to mete out justice alike to all its citizens. E. T.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908. A NORTHERN MAN ON NEGRO DOLLS. The Feeling of the Negro in the North With Respect to Negro Dolls for Negro Children. "It would be interesting to quite a number of people to know just what the attitude of the Northern Negro is with respect to the welfare and condition of his brother in the South. It has always developed whenever the test was put, whether North or South, the better thinking Negroes are a unit on matters effecting the welfare of the race. Thus there seems to be only the need of cultivating the opportunities before them, and to take advantage of circumstances that confront them from time to time to draw them both closer together, thereby benefiting the whole race," said a prominent Nashville business man last week in commenting upon the Negro dolls and their place in the future of the race. These little matters as picked up by the Globe reporter have their place and influence upon the people. The following is an extract from a letter written from Philadelphia, Pa., showing just what one of the leading men in that city thinks about the Negro doll idea: Dr. R. H. Boyd. Dear Dr. Boyd:—Through the New York Evening Journal of September 23, I learn that you are about to open a factory for the manufacture of Negro dolls. Colored dolls for colored children have become almost, a mania with me, and I am glad to know that the idea is about to be realized and would like to identify myself with the enterprise. The few colored dolls that have reached this country and that are now on the market have been purchased principally by white people for white children. About a year ago I purchased one for my little daughter. It was of German make. Give them colored dolls, elegant and refined in features, hair curly, if you will, but not kinky. If they are encouraged to love and be proud of such a doll, they will be instinctively imbibing race pride and cultivating a more aesthetic race idea, which will have a salutary effect later when they themselves become mothers. Having met that condition, and having made them ideally beautiful—irresistible, the image of such a baby as they have dreamed of being the mothers of themselves, I would urge them to buy it because it would be the creditable and sensible thing to do. Further, if possible, I would get them out for this Christmas trade, which would start the factory under the best possible condition to insure its quick success. Hoping the enterprise may succeed, I am. Yours truly. CHAS. H. CONNER, 1922 S. Cleveland Ave., Philadelphia Pa. THE METHODIST CHURCH IN POLITICS. "The members of the A. M. Episcopal and A. M. E. Zion Churches, two of the largest religious bodies among us, must feel humiliated to have those whom they have elevated to the highest gift of the church, sit in the outside room of the national political headquarters, craving for an audience with some member of the National Committee for aid, or button-holing every politician who comes in and goes out of the room, for money, or exploiting the vast (?) influence each has in his particular branch of his church, and how he can compel the members of his conferences to do his bidding by holding the rod over their heads, having them understand that if they do not do so, they will suffer in the future at his hand—through them he expects to control the votes of those who attend the churches of these religious bodies. Two of these men have openly stated that it was their purpose to turn their several conferences which meet prior to election day, into political meetings instead of the work of the church, for which purpose such conferences are supposed to be held. One of these men, we are informed, is to receive for his share in this work, $3,000, the other $4,000. It is a burning disgrace for these two great religious bodies to have such things said of their bishops—men whom they have called to conduct the religious weifare of their churches, begging, as it were, political alms, not for the church, but for their own pockets. These men call themselves the best exponents of thought of their church; term themselves independent, speak of race pride, of race manliness, and yet they place themselves far below the political hangers-on and gutter snipes who may be found congregating in those places "Go to either of the political headquarters, and you will not find a bishop of the other race there, nor a minister who has any respect for himself would be found there, nor would one of them dare state to a politician, that he would compel one of his ministers or a lay member of his church to vote for any particular man or party. If he attempted to do so, he would find out from his outraged members how easy it was for him to steer down and out. "It is this class of sharpers who daily bring ridicule upon the Afro- American, damning his future. "Again, the statement made by these two bishops, and others acting with them, is false. Neither of these men control either the votes of the ministers under them, or the lay members of their congregations, much less the Afro-Americans at large. They have neither the influence nor the confidence of their people. Each of them stand ready to sell their so-called influence to the party that will pay the most for it. There was a time in the early history of these two churches, when to be elevated to the bishopric was a distinguished honor, and men of the highest probity, noted for their exceptional living and their religious zeal, were only selected; but in these latter years another class seem to have taken their places—a class of charlatans, whose only aim, it appears, is to line their pockets and disgrace their race. "The sooner this class is relegated to the rear the better it will be for both the church and this particular denomination."—The Philadelphia Tribune. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED.

One of Nature's Peculiar Workings Revealed by Modern Surgical Skill. A colored woman of Somerville, Tenn., was brought to the Wilson Infirmary of this city tast Thursday. She has been suffering for nine years from a painful swelling in the abdomen. Like the woman in the Scripture, she had suffered many things of many physicians. After a careful examination, an operation was decided upon. Dr. J. T. Wilson, Chief Surgeon, assisted by Dr. L. H. Johnston, attending physician, and Dr. J. H. Hale of this city, opened the abdomen and removed therefrom a nine-year-old child. This wonderful phenomenon shows the almost inexhaustible resources of nature in applying her healing power. The fecundatio ovum was by some mishap deposited outside the uterus, where it developed to the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. At this time the death of the child took place and nature preserved the life of the mother by a process known as calcareous degeneration—in other words, the dead body of the child turned to a kind of stone. The patient is doing well. The specimen is on exhibition at the store of Demoville Drug Co., Fourth avenue, North. NASHVILLE DRAMATIC CLUB. NASHVILLE DRAMATIC CLUB.
