THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. III. African Methodists Hold Successful Meeting. THE METROPOLIS OF BEDFORD COUNTY AFLAME. ALL PRESIDING ELDERS' DISDISTRICTS SUBMIT GOOD REPORTS—NO CHANGES IN THE HEADS OF THE DISTRICTS—SEVERAL TRANSFERS INTO AND OUT OF THE CONFERENCE—BISHOP PARKS READS APPOINTMENTS OF PREACHERS FOR THE COMING YEAR—WEST TENNESSEE CONFERENCE IN SESSION AT PARIS. The forty-first annual session of the Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church came to a close Monday night, October 26, and one of the most interesting sessions of this body ever held passed into history when Bishop H. B. Parks read the last appointment and the benediction had been pronounced. This session of the conference was interesting from many points of view. First, it is the oldest conference of the A. M. E. Church in this State. Secondly, Bishop Evans Tyree, the only bishop of Tennessee birth ever elected in the African Methodist Church, was present. Again, it is where the connectional educational institution in this state is located; and it was the first session of this conference ever presided over by Bishop Parks. All of these things added to the interest of the meeting. From Wednesday morning, October 21, to Monday, October 26, every session grew more and more inspiring. Presiding was vying with presiding, and pastor with pastor, and all the people of Shelbyville were apparently actively engaged in lending their aid to make the meeting a success. The church was not large enough to accommodate the crowds and hundreds were turned away from each session. Everything possible was done to make the stay of the visitors pleasant. There were several changes in the pastors of the church in this city, as will be seen from the list of appointments. In the case of St. John A. M. E. Church the change did not come as a surprise to the members, as they were apprised of this two weeks beforehand. Special stress was laid on education by Bishop Parks, and every member of the Conference seemed to catch the spirit. When the election of trustees for the school was held the name of D. A. Hart, president of the Globe Publishing Company, was presented. Mr. Hart was not present, having been called to his home on urgent business, he was. however, elected as one of the trustees from the Tennessee Annual Conference. Mr. Hart is suprintendent of the Sunday-school and a trustee of St. John A. M. E. Church, and has been very active in the interest of Turner Normal College. The grand total amount raised for all purposes was $3.407.52. Of dollar money raised the Nashville District, T. W. Haigler, presiding elder, reported $603.62; the South Nashville, G. L. Jackson, presiding elder, $683.37; the Columbia District, J. Q. Johnson, presiding elder, $678.75; the Shelbyville District. H. L. P. Jones, presiding elder $550. The conference paid off $590 of old debts. It raised over $1,500 for education, for the support of Turner Normal College at this place. The increase over all moneys raised last year was $706. A high spirit of enthusiasm prevailed in all sessions of the conference. Bishop Parks, by his inspiring addresses and sermons, infused into the conference a determination to especially increase all the general claims, and besides to raise in the District Conference $5,000 towards a new dormitory at the college. Rev. B. G. Gordon was transferred to the East Tennessee Conference and NASHVILLE, TENN.. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1908 stationed at Knoxville. Rev W. S. Brooks, who will take charge of St. Paul Church, South Nashville, has travelled extensively in Egypt and the Holy Land and on the continent of Europe. He comes from the Iowa Conference. Rev A. Brooks, who was assigned to St. John in the same city is a strong preacher and pastor, well known all over the state. Assignment of Preachers. Nashville District—Dr. T. W.

Bishop Parks and a large number of the members of the conference reached the city Tuesday morning. The pastors distributed from this point to the several stations. Bishop Parks left at 2 p. m. over the N. C. & St. L. Rv. for Paris, Tenn., where he opened the West Tennessee Conference Wednesday morning. It is the opinion of some that Dr. C. H. Boone, formerly pastor of St. Paul, will transfer to this conference. He had been at St. Paul a part of four years and had many friends in this city who will wish for him much success. PROF. AND MRS. W. G. HYNES. Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Hynes are spending this week in the capital of Kentucky (Frankfort) opening their engagement at the First Baptist Church. Prof. Hynes is requested by the political men of the city to show the returns of the presidential election. Should Prof. Hynes decide the party promises to make the affair very interesting to the people of Frankfort and all attendants. PLACE OF MARRIAGE CHANGED. For the convenience of their many friends the marriage of Rev. C. H. Mantelle Boone and Miss Willie Nichols will take place at St. Paul Church, instead of at 423 Sixth avenue, South. The reception will be held as announced in the invitations. INSTALLATION AT THE THIRD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. ABLE AND INSTRUCTIVE SERMONS DELIVERED—REAL INTEREST AWAKENED IN RELIGIOUS WORK—PRACTICAL ADVICE GIVEN THE YOUNG PEOPLE—GENERAL MORAL UPLIFT APPARENT—MEMBERSHIP INCREASING PLEA FOR MORE MEN IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE—METHODIST MINISTERS ABSTENT FROM CITY. On last Sunday most of the churches in the city were unusually well attended. There seems to have been an understanding with the ministers in what could be styled an interdenominational agreement. The force of each sermon was on the line of the race question. Practically every term or phase of their discourse was a fundamental, far-reaching advice to the young people to ally themselves with Christian organizations—with the churches and Sunday-schools. Beginning at the smallest church in the city, those usually having the smallest congregations, and going up to the largest, it was noticeable that an increased number of members and visitors were present. It was stated during the week that a real interest was being awakened, primarily, it is supposed that the coming fall and winter are responsible for the bringing out of these large numbers of church goers, but in reality judging from the turn of events it is the good work being accomplished by the able pastors of the churches in the city who have rendered yeoman service in expounding the Gospel. Nashville is not drifting as some would think into greater vice. The number of conversions, additions shown on the several church roll books, and the general moral uplift now apparent are arguments, and furnish facts that cannot be denied. Nearly all of the African Methodist ministers were out of the city last Sunday in attendance to their conference, but the services were none the less interesting. At Thompson Chapel Dr. E. W. S. Hammond preached an able, instructive, far-reaching sermon; at Howard Congregational, Rev. Mr. Imes filled the pulpit with his usual intelligent manner; at Jackson Temple C. M. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Amos, the pastor, occupied the pulpit, preaching to an unusually large audience; at Sylvan Street Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Haynes spoke: out on Mt. Nebo, Rev. Mr. Slaughter occupied the pulpit; at Fifth Avenue, Rev. Mr. Wilson spoke. Clark Memorial had its regular interesting services, Payne Chapel likewise, while St. Paul and St. John A. M. E. Churches contributed much to augment the attendance of church-goers. At the First Baptist Church Dr. Ellington spoke, and held his increasing audience as usual, dwelling at length upon the needs of the race, making biblical comparisons. At Mt. Olive Dr. Clark emphasized that "we need more men in the churches, more men in the homes, more men in the Sunday-schools, more men in business, more men in professions and more men in every walk of life." At the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Lott was practically hammering upon the same question. At the Second Baptist Church, of which Rev. G. B. Taylor is the pastor; and at the Hawkins Street Church, Rev. J. Harding, pastor, the subject was being given equal attention. The usual interesting services were held at Union Chapel. "Fisk Memorial." Salem was not neglected, while Eathe A. M. E. Gilead, Fairfield, Pilgrim Mt. Zion, Pleasant Green, First Street, Tabernacle and the others of the city send in an equally interesting report for the morning services. Sunday afternoon two big services were held. One was at the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, where Rev. Moore was installed as pastor. He comes here from Murfreesboro and takes the place made vacant by Rev. J. L. Harding Rev. Dr. Townsend held the other large afternoon meeting at the old Spruce Street Baptist Church. It was in the form of a fall rally, which is reported to have been quite successful. The night services closed one of Nashville's most successful Sundays. The weather being ideal the entire day, helped much to bring out the hundreds of people who filled the houses of worship. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS CAP. ITAL STOCK. The recent action of the Bank of Mound Bayou, which was made by the board of directors and stockholders of the institution a few days ago, increased the capital stock from twenty-five thousand to fifty thousand dollars, which brings the Negro banking concerns up to a higher standard. There are now only a few Negro banks in the United States with a capital of fifty thousand dollars. This is not the only action taken by the Mound Bayou Bank that needs to be favorably commented upon. Some stockholders in this city have been informed that the bank will pay its regular 10 per cent dividend on December 5. Hence it is to be judged from this information that the directors also declared a 10 per cent dividend. The cashier Mr. Charles Banks, who is also president of the Mississippi State Business League, devotes his entire time to the bank. While President Jno. W. Francis, Vice President W. T. Montgomery, with R. M. McCarty, H. A. Godbold, S. M. Morgan, C. R. Stringer, E. W. Lampton, and B. H. Cresswell as directors are each doing their part to make the institution one of the leading banks in the United States. A NEW ENTERPRISE FOR NASHVILLE. There is nothing that clings to a race with more tenacity than its music, and nothing can be more characteristic. All races on the globe have their music—a natural gift that is as distinct as any feature of the people of that race. The American people being made up of many white races that have more or less intermarried, have mixed their music until it is impossible to distinguish the different races by distinctive characteristic. The German musicians have married the Irish, the English have married the French and so on. This condition of affairs compels this nation to admit to the world that the only pure and unadulterated music produced in this country is that of the Negro, familiarly known as "Jubilee Songs." "Plantation Melodies" or "Folk Songs." This music was permanently fixed in the minds of the American people by the African in the days that were made dark by the existence of the brutal slave system. When the burden of grief and persecution weighed heavily upon them they would send out upon the air in eloquent tones "Swing low, sweet charlot," or "Done died, I won't die no more." They knew no method, but were singing merely by the natural gift, and the world stopped to listen to their song. They had never heard anything like it, and were therefore compelled to accept it as distinctly original. The institution of slavery has been blotted out, and forty odd years have passed since Lee surrendered to Grant, but the echoes from the field of the only original music in America are still floating over hill and valley, until after years of persistent study and research the Negroes of the present day have planned to give to the world in artistic form the only heritage left to them by their ex-slave parents, namely the "Jubilee Music," known as "Plantation Melodies" or "Folk Songs." A company has been organized in Nashville by the firm name of Work Bros. & Hart Co., who will make the publishing of this music a specialty. The Work brothers are known throughout the length and breadth of the country as professional musicians. They have spent years in a scientific study of the Negroes' musical abilities and are fully prepared to put this music before the public in first-class style. Mr. Hart is one of the best posted men in the country on matters pertaining to publishing, and the outlook for the company is one of unprecedented success. Nashville may well feel proud that she has in her midst citizens who are doing so much to preserve the integrity of a race of people whose history is unparalleled. Mrs. Andrew Carter. of Watkins street, is spending a few weeks in Franklin. She is accompanied by her little daughter Laura. No.43 ADVISABILITY OF OPENING THE HOME AGAIN. DISCUSSED. ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB VERY FEW—HOME SUCCESSFULLY RUN FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS — MEAGER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN—MORE FURNITURE, CLOTHES AND FUEL NEEDED—TREASURY EMPTY — EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO RAISE MONEY—CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. On Wednesday, Oct. 21, a very important meeting of the Day Home Club was held. It was the first meeting after a summer's vacation. There was a full attendance and an interesting and spirited discussion as to the advisability of again opening the Home. In a condensed form the decision to which the ladies arrived was this: The object of the Day Home was, as its name indicates, to care for the children of working women, while the mothers were at their labors. It was found that the mothers of our children had such irregular hours and they extended over so long a period that two out of every three children who were taken to the Home were expected to remain—both day and night. One can easily see that this condition required a larger house, more food, beds and bedding, and more help. We attempted to fill what we considered a long felt need and for a year and a half we have successfully carried on a Home, where ten and twelve children have been kept by the week; bathed, combed, dressed (often in the clothes that have been contributed or that the women of the club have made, and those who were old enough were taught to read, write and sew. For this service we estimated the price as small as could possibly be made—one dollar and ninety-five cents a week, and where a mother had more than one child, for which to be cared, we charged even less. Often a mother would bring a child, pay for one week's board and two or three weeks afterwards she would return, make promises that were not kept and the child was removed with no more money to its credit. We were more fortunate in collecting for the children who were for the day, but they were few in number. The regularly active members of the Club were very, very few and their labor was increasing. For more than a year there has been twenty dollars per month paid for rent, fifteen dollars for a matron, eight and ten dollars for a cook and thirty-five and forty dollars for food—besides the many tons of coal for heating and cooking. This money was raised by regular giving on the part of the women of the Club; the small amount of board from the children; entertainments, with this object in view: collections taken at the different churches and contributions from personal solicitations. During this year with a larger house to support, a greater amount of furniture, beds and bedding has had to be secured and most of it has been applied as well to all other expenses, for with God's helps and the assistance of charitable sympathizing persons we were able to report at this last meeting that all debts were paid. While the decision of this meeting was to open the Home, we were compelled to make this decision because of no money in the treasure. We will though retain our united condition as well as our name, continue our monthly meeting and make efforts, to raise sufficient money to establish a Home for the care of the children whom we see need our care and whom we have already done much good. We are not discouraged and we will continue to use our means, live and effort to allay suffering humanity and will be grateful for contributions that will assist us in our work. Thanking those who have assisted us in the past and with a plea for future help, we remain. Mrs. J. C. Napier.

What are we as Negroes to gain by deserting the Republican party and yoting for Patterson against Tillman? In the first place, how can any self- respecting Negro vote for Gov. Patter- son when he and party will not even recognize our right to have any voice in his party. No one but a white man is permitted to vote in their primaries or take part in their conventions. Tf the colored man deserts the Re- publican party, where will he 0? Are not those who are urging him to this course, leading him up to political destruction? If the Republican party must give him up and be forced by him to become also a white man’s party, who is going to stand up against the efforts of the Democratic party to disfranchise him and rob him of his political rights? Do not Democrats boldly declare that the right to vote should be taken from him, and have ‘not the ablest Democratic statesmen, editors and lawyers written and spoken in favor of such a policy? What has Gov. Patterson done to inerit his support? The Governor's friends claim that he has not discrim- inated against colored convicts in issu- ing pardons. This is not true and is not borne out by the facts in the case, for out of 1,200 Negroes, he pardoned only 75; while out of about 600 whites, he has pardoned over 400. Does this have the appearance of impartiality? ‘They have made this pardon business a great catch penny for colored voters, but not once have any of them under- en to draw the Governor out on e subject of disfranchisement, or Jim Crowism, or larger educational fa- cilities for colored children. Was it any mercy to turn out of the penitentiary thirty or forty poor Ne- groes with legs and backs broken, and some dying of consumption? Would it not be better, as insisted by Mr. ‘Tillman, to take care of these poor fel lows in good hospitals instead of unloading them on their poor kin, especially when all these disabilities were incurred in the service of the State? All this attack on Mr. Tillman by some of our colored newspapers is unjust, and founded in a misconcep- tion of the facts, He has always writ ten and spoken in behalf of the colored man—and that, too, when he was no candidate for office. And he expects and will receive the support of those who truly see what is good for the race. Four years ago, when he had no other motive than serve the race, he spoke out in a meeting of distin guished Democrats in the following brave, bold plea—which was »ublished in the newspapers at the time. He was no canditate then. Here is what he said: “The Negro may, by various methods by indirection, by violence or fraud, by applying tests to him not applied to whites, be deprived of the hailot for a few years, or a generation. but in the long run, such methods will fail; if the Negro shall progress in mor- al and intelligent qualities, in in. dustry and thrift, in accumulation of property, and all the elements of civi- jization and this leads to the conelu- sion that the chief thing for the Negro ta do now, fs to bend all of his ener: @jox to the acauirement of eduqation, -sninly indnstrial, to discipline, fto the development of the faculties of prov: THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1908: PH.

For sele at any Drug Store. idence, thrift, industry and higher morality—thus laying the foundation for the permanent uplifting of the race to a state where its participation in government will not meet with the op- position that now confronts it. It is believed by some that the Negro ought noi to possess the privilege of voting; that the association with the whites that necessarily results from the exer- cise of political and civil rights will gradually break down the partition that separates the races socially. I do not think so, But whatever may be one’s view of this, it may be considered a closed question. The guarantees in the Federal Constitution of their po- litical and civil rights will never be abrogated. The South must solve its problem with this as an accepted fact. The Negro, so far as the written law is concerned, has had in Tennessee for over thirty years the same political and civil rights as the white man—and there are no indications of any dis- turbances of our social life in its pri- vate relations. Now, as man who has arrived at the age of sound discretion, looking beyond the present day, having in mind the destiny and well being of our people, I appeal to them to stand by those who have always stood by us for equal civil and political rights. Let us not sell the birthright of our- selves and of our children for a mess of pottage. It is gratifying to learn as I have gon? from place to place in the State that the quiet and stealthy efforts of the Democracy to win the Negro have been of no avail. I say “quiet and strolthy efforts” because even the Negro Democratic orators and cam- paigners are not permitted to make public speeches in their efforts to win Negro votes. After all, it is clearly evident that the colored vote will, as ) whole, be cast as usual for the best interests of the country, of the race, and of the party which has always steod for these things. And in this, I believe him to be right for what is to be gained by allying ourselves with a party which does not even openly ask for our votes? if the next legislature should sub- mit a constitutional amendment to the people of this State proposing to disfranchise the colored people as has bern done in almost all other Southern Stotes, Governor Patterson would at ‘nee approve the proposition as he »-»roved a resolution endorsing the dismissal of the colored soldiers on ercount of the Brownsville incident. Jn such event, what would Mr, Till- man do if he were Governor? Un- doubtly he would promptly veto any such measure, In Nashville and in Davidson Coun- ty we constitute one-third of the pop- ulation. We are law-abiding. We pay taxes. We conform to all the re- quirements of a Christian and an ad- vancing civilization. With all this under Democratic rule we are deprived of representation and are utterly without a voice or influence in the administration of the affairs of the governments which we support end junder which we live. Will any of the colored gentlemen who are adyocat: ing Governor Patterson's cause say that they are satisfied with this con: ‘ition of things? Or will they say that he and his party are responsible for them? Those’ of us who are sup: rorting the Taft and Tillman ticket ove not satisfied and hope far an early change which we thin’r ~e we tn the near future, * J. C. NAPIER. WANTED — Competent _ printers.

Springfield, Tll.—As a part of the proceedings of the annual convention of the Tlinois Federation of Women, whieh only recently closed its session at Bloomington, they voted unani- mously to a woman to adopt the Ne- gro dolls for the coming holidays. It was the sense of this gathering that in the homes of their Negro women where there was a grrl child they would purchase a Negro doll. Mrs. Apna Peyton is the president of the Federation and presided through the entire session. The movement is in charge of Mrs. Rosa Hunter, of Springfield. One of the leading spir- its in this movement was Mrs. Ben nett. of ‘DuQuoin, Ill, whose hus: band was also prominent in pressing the resolution that passed the Nation- al Baptist Convention at Lexington. ‘The Springfield club has already be- gun to secure the dolls for Springfield. The club wants the dolls for the com- ing holidays. They are to be on exhi. pition in the winter bazaars and church fairs. Mrs. Eva Monroe, founder of the Lincoln Colored Home, will no doubt be placed in charge o! the dolls for the holidays. Springfield feels that she has a right to push for ward in this matter. and lead in this new race pride and race interest, since the recent disturbance _ here. ‘The Federation has allied clubs in nearly every city in Illinois and some of the largest clubs in the State are to be found in Springfield, Cairo, Du Quoin, Alton.

Crenshaw, of Athens, Ala., was in the city for a short while the first of the week visiting his brother, Mr. J. D. Crenshaw. He said that he always felt a pleasure in coming to Nashville on account of the reminiscences of the past. Mr. Crenshaw was one of the "colored boys in blue" who participated in the terrible struggle that took place here, known as "The Battle of Nashville," under the impetuous Confederate general, Hood, and the determined Union general, Thomas. In a reminiscent chat about that great fight, he said, "No braver men ever carved out their passage upon a field of battle to face the foe, than were the colored soldiers who met Hood's veterans in charge after charge in that awful conflict. They faltered not," said he, "nor gave way at any point. It is now indeed gratifying to see after all these years the progress being made here by our people, and instead of fortified heights, crowned with cannon and bristling with bayonets, one sees thrift and industry and great institutions of learning, all of which says that those who fought and fell here, in the cause of universal freedom, did not fight nor die in vain." Mr. Crenshaw was entertained at dinner Sunday by Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd. ENTERTAINED AT DINNER. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Woods, of Harding street, entertained last Sunday at dinner in honor or Mrs. Woods, of Athens, Ala., who is here visiting. A delightful two-course menu was served. The guests were Mr. Robert Woods, Miss Robertson, Miss Bettie Woods and Miss Katie Sloan. A NEW COMMENTARY. All the Matter is in the Hands of the Printer for the 1909 Edition of the Baptist Sunday-School Lesson Commentary. The information was given out at the Baptist Publishing House last week to a Globe reporter that all matter for the 1909 issue of the National Baptist Sunday-School Lesson Commentary had been handed in to the printers. The information came first handed, that is, it was obtained from Dr. Boyd, Secretary of the Publishing Board. In a statement to a Globe reporter he said: "The matter of making books—I mean religious books—for the Negro denominations in the United States, has reached that point where it is of interest to every American Negro. It will only be a few years before we can refer to our own libraries, consult our own writers, in politics, in religion, in church, and in fact, on all subjects. We have been trying for these few years to give the Negro Baptists everything, and this Commentary that is being prepared annually is the surprise of the age. Many people predicted its failure. But we were able to get out eight thousand this year. If we can do as well next year the Commentary will then be a success." In a further conversation on the matter with an official of the Publishing Board, Rev. Dr. W. S. Ellington, Editorial Secretary, who is entirely too modest to attribute anything to himself, but who is really working hard in the editorial department, it was learned that the Commentary this year reached the high water mark, and that every effort has been put forth to have the 1909 edition, which will soon be on the market, overflow instead of reach a high water mark. The book this year had three hundred and ninety pages—just ten pages larger than Peloubet and fifty or one hundred pages larger than Arnold's Notes. The use of the Commentary has not been confined to the Baptists, yet it is a Baptist book; but the exposition of the lessons have proven so helpful and beneficial to all Sunday-school work that it is being generally used by those denominations which have no book of their own. Dr. Boyd said the Commentary would be ready within the next thirty days and that already orders were being received from far and near for the book. * WATCH STOLEN. Some one undoubtedly well acquainted with the premises broke into a desk in the Globe office Tuesday afternoon while Miss Ladye B. Stringer, the clerk, was absent, and stole her pocketbook, which contained among other articles a gold watch. The thief has not been discovered. IS NOW SUPERINTENDENT MOORE. One of the despatches from the last session of the A. M. A. Convention which just closed its session at Galesburg, Ill., was one to the effect that Dr. Geo. W. Moore, who has been serving as Field Missionary, has been made Superintendent of Southern Churches. It is stated that this is a promotion. Dr. Moore will no longer be known as a field missionary. The nature of his work is about the same, with additional work as well as responsibilities. His services as field missionary have apparently given the executive committee, who, it was learned, recommended this appointment, entire satisfaction. Dr. Moore left this week for Mariana and points South. The new field will give him Nashville as headquarters and will give him a little more time in this city. BENEVOLENT CLUB. Club No. 2, of the Benevolent Order No. 106, met at the residence of Mrs. Agerson, Tuesday night, October 28. The meeting was very interesting and many important resolu were made. Those present were Mrs. Agerson, Mrs. Sarah Phillips, Mr. Thomas Martin, Mrs. Williams, Miss Georgia Woolen, Mr. Edward Chrismon. The club will meet next Tuesday night at the residence of Mrs. Williams, 603 Ash street. MR. HARRY EUGENE RICHARDSON HEARD FROM. Mr. H. Eugene Richardson, formerly employed at the Baptist Publishing House this city, but now in the express service plying between Bluefield and Norfolk, Va., states that everything is very promising in that section of the country. It will be remembered that Mr. Richardson married Miss Pauline Daugherty of this city about five years ago. He writes that they are all well and doing well. Mr. Richardson will go to his home at Rural Retreat, Va., Tuesday to cast his vote for Bryan. --- Miss J. V. Dixon, the proofreader at the Sunday School Union, is not able to be at her post of duty this week on account of illness. 8 FOR RENT. FIVE ROOMS FOR RENT CHIAR —Upstairs in 812 Cedar street.

DAN H. WILLIAMS. It is an occasion which speaks volumes for the progress of the race in the study of medicine and surgery when so many men of great ability can be assembled in a clinic as was done at Meharry this week to observe the work of Dr. Dan H. Williams of Chicago. Surgeons, equally famous with the operator, specialists in other lines of the profession, successful physicians, students and a few of the laity were all hypnotized, as it were, by the skill of this great man. Dr. Williams has done a wonderful work. He has dared by constant application to his chosen profession, to rise above the ranks of mediocrity and take his place in the fore-rank of the country's great surgeons. His success, like that of many of the members of the faculty from this city, should serve as an inspiration to the students to go forth and do likewise. While the visit of Dr. Williams is for the benefit of the students, the citizens of Nashville can not fail to appreciate the effort of Dean Hubbard to give Meharry the best. TWO OF A KIND The platform of the democrats and that of the republicans of Tennessee are almost exact duplicates with the exception of the one question of statewide prohibition. The republican's platform begins with a lot of glittering generalities as to what all good citizens stand agreed upon and before they have finished they endorse the Herbert Domain purchase, the increasing of the pensions to Confederate Veterans, the appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars to the Peabody Normal College, an increase in the appropriations to the University of Tennessee and, in fact, put the seal of their approval upon about everything in the democratic platform of this and preceding years. Neither platform offers anything specific for or to the Negro. Both platforms ignore the fact that while they are making demands for increased appropriations to the "jim crow" Peabody Normal College and University of Tennessee, not one cent is pledged to the aid of the "jim crow" schools established in the interest of the Negro. "Our friends" for forty years, the G. O. P. of Tennessee, are ignorant, it would seem, of the fact that not a cent has been appropriated in a number of years towards the education of our children. If not ignorant then they silently approve what has been done. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1908 The colored man cannot be governed in his vote for the next two years by the platform of the two parties, for one offers as much as the other. The two candidates are both good democrats. Patterson believes in a lily-white primary and Tillman believes in a lily-white republican party. This, however, can be said of Mr. Patterson, he has never insulted the manhood and womanhood of our race by accusing our men of loving whiskey more than their wives. But he has gone into the penitentiary without the solicitation of any interested friend, and turned out youths of our race. It was the humaneness of the man that prompted the act. Likewise, in local matters, Mr. Patterson has shown his fairness by vetoing measures directed against the rights of the race. Mr. Patterson has shown himself a true friend to the Negro by treating him justly. We should appreciate having such a man as our chief executive and vote to keep him there. TILLMAN Tillman cannot possibly benefit the Negro if he be elected to the gubernatorial chair. In the first place he will have a legislature opposed to him and this same legislature can pass over his veto any measure it chooses to by the same vote that was required to pass it on its original presentation. Since Mr. Tillman would have his hands tied by the legislature, his only chances to help the Negro would be in making appointments and in pardoning men whose guilt has not been established. As to appointments, Mr. Tillman has promised his "sore-toe" democratic friends that no man will be appointed to office who cannot command the respect of all self-respecting men. In other words, Mr. Tillman assured the late followers of Carmack in a nice, diplomatic way that he would appoint no Negroes to office excepting that of porter. And since Mr. Tillman has raised such a furore in various parts of the state as to the extravagance of having so many porters at the capitol, it is likely that even some of the appointments now held by Negroes would be abolished. Is there anyone so simple as to believe that Mr. Tillman would help the Negro by the use of the pardoning power after his bitter attack on Mr. Patterson for exercising clemency in several cases? Tillman in the gubernatorial chair can be of no service to us but he might prove a source of harm. Being at odds with him, might not a democratic legislature seek to take its vengeance upon the Negro vote which will accuse of putting him in office, by passing obnoxious class laws? For one time the colored voter of Tennessee should take literally the advice given his Southern friends by Judge Taft on his recent tour of the South: "Stop voting for a tradition." Let us stop voting on what happened before most of us were born and vote for that man that can do the most good for us—the Hon. M. R. Patterson. The most agreeable announcement made from the night-rider district in Olion and Lake Counties is that some of the men captured were members of the band that burned the house and killed the colored man and his family at Hickman, Ky., a few weeks ago. It is to be hoped that this gang of men containing so much of the brute as to murder women and children, will be so thoroughly hanged by Tennessee that not a one of them will ever come to trial in Kentucky. Some little two-by-four ward-heelers who have never contributed a dime to the support of The Globe, are threatening to boycott us because we will not support Tillman. Those are the tactics of twenty years ago. Weakneed editors sometimes changed their policy under such threats. The "I wont hear you for one minute" leaders ought to get some young men to whoop up things for them; perhaps they could give us something new in the line of threats. The Hon. Wm. Crosthwaite, lawyer and publicist, is right when he writes to The Chattanooga Times and says that The Globe is supporting Patterson for Governor. He is in error, however, when he says he had it from the editor of The Globe that the "I won't hear you one minute" executive committee tried to use The Globe to herd together the Negroes of Davidson County. We made no such statement. The campaign has reached the point where the candidates for President are trying to see which can pull off the more stunts bordering on the ridiculous. "Bryan speaks to an audience at 3 o'clock a. m.!" says a newspaper head line. Candidates in the future, if they follow the silly program of this year, will introduce the "open all night" sign in their barn-storming expeditions. What are the views of Mr. Tillman on the Brownsville Question? if he has expressed himself on this question it was not for publication. More than likely Mr. Tillman, like Governor Patterson and almost every other Southern-born white man, believes that President Roosevelt was clearly in the right when he issued the infamous order dismissing without trial and "without honr" "167 men, the most of whom must have been innocent. If Southern white republicans do not endorse the action why are they so silent upon the question? Mr. Tillman believes that the enfranchisement of the Negro was the greatest crimes of the century. What are his views on the "jim crow" can law? COMMUNICATIONS. To the Editor of the Globe: Enclosed I hand you a copy of a letter which, during the present campaign, I have addressed to a great number of colored voters throughout the State. I hope that it has had the effect to cause them to think seriously before casting a ballot for the Democracy, for any of its candidates or for any of the things for which they stand. You will very greatly oblige me if you will give it space in your excellent journal. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 23, 1908. Feeling the deepest interest in the result of the pending campaign, I have taken it upon myself to write the following letter to some of the prominent colored men of our State with a hope of bringing out the largest possible vote for the entire Republican ticket at the November election. There never was a time when it was more important to our people to cast their votes for the party and men who have always favored granting us our political and civil rights than now. If we, wish to see prosperity reign and good times continue, we must cast our votes for the party whose administration has always brought about these conditions. If we wish to redeem some of our benighted people in the large cities from the thraldom of saloon rule, we must do all in our power to abolish the saloon and bring about state-wide prohibition. The temperance legislation already enacted has done more to elevate and improve the morals of our people, to make them law-abiding, self-respecting and frugal than anything that has occurred since emancipation. It is, therefore, the duty of every thinking man to continue this work until there is not a single debauching or degrading saloon left in the entire State. Some may say, Oh! Bryan and Patterson are good men and have never done aught against the colored man. But they are both backed by the democratic party and under any and all circumstances must do its bidding. This party has always been the archenemy to the progress and to the uplift of the colored man. Wherever the democratic party is in power disfranchisement, Jim Crow laws and all sorts of invidious and humiliating customs are the order of the day. Every vote cast by a colored man for the Democratic ticket or for any man whose name is on it is just so far an approval and an endorsement of all that the Democratic party has done against the recognition of the citizenship and for the oppression of the Negro in this country. He who casts such vote emphatically puts the seal of his approval upon all the disfranchise measures and upon all the "Jim Crow" legislation that have been placed upon the statute books of the Southern States. No republican President or Governor or legislature has ever given sancion to the passage of a law which had for its aim the disfranchisement of an American citizen on account of his color. I cannot, therefore, see how any thinking man, any man who loves his home, respects himself and his family, can fall to cast his vote at our coming election for WILLIAM H. TAFT, GEORGE N. TILLMAN and the entire Republican ticket. Hoping that you may take the same view of the matter that I do, and this the result may be overwhelming for the cause of republicanism in Tennessee, I beg to remain, Wagold, Africa, Oct. 6, 1908. Dear Editor of The Nashville Globe: This comes to say that The Globe comes every week now. Your issue of the 4th ult. was a praiseworthy advance in the journalistic world. I pray for your continued success with all on the staff with you. Some time ago I sent articles on Prayer and one seeking my lost relatives, for you to publish; shall be glad if you can see your way to publish same if it even costs a little to do. My time is so taken in the many large meetings (evangelistic) till I must have copies of my notes handed in to you. Psalm 37:3. S. C. CRUTCHER. To the Editor of the Globe: 10 The Editor of the Globe. Please allow me space in your widely-circulated and highly esteemed paper to say a few words of my work. I left here on September 15th for Kingston Springs, where I preached until the 20th in a protracted meeting, assisting Rev. J. M. Newsom. We had a spiritual feast and many happy souls as the result of our labor. I also preached at Mt. Pleasant Church and Pegrow Chapel. The good people of Kingston Springs are wide awake in the march of progress. Rev. J. M. Newsom is pastor of the A. M. E. Church and is doing much in building up his church and the people generally. He is loved by all—a Christian brother, a pastor of high standing and a gospel preacher. I preached the Educational Sermon at Pegrow Chapel on September 20. The people generally are doing well. Miss Ida Woodard is teacher at Pegrow and Miss Mollie Alexander is teacher at Kingston Springs. We had a very pleasant trip. Pray for our success. I am for the cause of Christ, L. E. BUTLER, 1412 Scovel street, Nashville, Tenn. Some impressions of the President of Some impressions of the President of Howe Institute from Contact with Booker T. Washington. To the Nashville Globe: Much has ben said about Booker Booker T. Washington, his methods, meetings, ideas and policies. How does he influence those who come in contact with him? I remember my first visit to Tuskegee. I met hundreds of visitors from the farm, the church and the school, from the teacher in the country school to the president of the great university. I expected set speeches and oratory; men most gifted to be given preference in speech. It was a farmer's meeting. The orator was silent. Mr. Washington presided in a plain, simple manner. He asked, "What have you done in the way of buying and improvements since the last Conference? Have you bought additional land? Have you cleared more ground, painted your home, whitewashed your fence?" "Do you use improved seed?" "How is the soil?" "Diversify your crops?" "Is your school-house painted?" "How long is the term of school?" "Have you a good teacher?" "How is your church?" "Is your minister immoral?" "What is the relation between the races?" "What is the cause of the race friction, if any?" "Have you a bank account?" I made up my mind not to attend another Conference until satisfactory answers could be given to those questions. I felt like going back home and helping everybody and pushing every good thing. Never did I feel more determined to cultivate friendly relations with all my neighbors. I felt kindly disposed toward women and children of all races. These things guide me to-day in all of my dealings. Booker T. Washington is often misunderstood by both races. His methods merit the closest scrutiny. His life should be carefully studied. If his teachings were followed holidays would be less, labor would be more abundant and reliable; criminals would be speedily brought to justice and the innocent would have ample protection, homes would be built by our people, and wives and children supported, poll and other taxes would be paid and the obligations of life faithfully kept. There would be no race antagonism, as mutual help and friendly co-operation would characterize the relations between the races in the Southland, the best and most inviting field for my race. Dr. Washington is entitled to a hearing and if that is given I shall be satisfied with the verdict of an impartial jury of public opinion. The South has much to gain from the Washington idea of the farm and country life for the masses of the race. industrial education means intelligent citizenship; trained labor able to know when it is doing well and treated right, with sufficient wants to demand regular employment. I have traveled the country over, and with Mr. Washington I am content to live and labor here where I know and am known. T. O. FULLER, Howe Institute, Memphis, Tenn. A TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR P. GREEN. Death, the subtle, crafty, relentless foe of human life, who lurks within the gloomy shadows which fringe the borderland where time fades away into eternity; Death, who, bursting from his sunless home, mouldy with the dew of darkness, springs upon the unwary traveler, and bears him swiftly to the spirit-land—this Death walking with ceaseless tread along his dismal pathway, has a strange and, to us, uncanny taste for music. When he has borne his victim away, he returns to the home of the bereft, wearing a mystic veil, plucks with wild abandon at the heart strings of the sorrowing and with avidity and in ecstasy drinks in the plaintive notes, the tune-beat of which is kept by the steady, perpetual fall of drops of blood from the heart. However terrible the wall, however loud the cry, it is but sweet music to the ear of Death. But a few weeks ago was laid to rest Arthur P. Green. It was my privilege to know him well. I have heard him speak of his experiences, but I was not impressed by that. I knew of his wonderful devotion to his sisters and brothers, but it moved me not. Many times I have talked to him when he was under the shadow of a great sorrow, and then I learned that he had light—the light that lighteth all men. His simplicity, his kindness, courage and devotion were built upon the foundation of Christ. To the surviving sisters and brothers and friends let us emulate those good traits found in our association with Arthur and meet in the Great Beyond. A. JULIUS WILLIAMS. NEGRO PARTY IN CUBA. Organization Declares Intention to Make Island a Black Republic. The organization of a Negro party in Cuba, strictly within the provisions of the electoral law, has created an extraordinary sensation, this being the first time the Negroes have taken such a step in Cuba. According to Gen. Estenoz's letter to Col. Crowder, head of the commission which framed the new election laws, they intend to present candidates, not only for all vacant places in the Senate and House, but for President and Vice President of the Republic. Public opinion attaches much importance to the fact that the Negro party chooses a horse as its sign to be placed on the ballot, which is generally construed as a revolutionary threat. In spite of the fact that for many months it has been rumored that the Negroes were working for a political organization, yesterday's announcement of the formation of the Independent Association of Negroes took the whites by surprise. The Diaro de la Marina asks what the United States government will do now that there is so much more grave a race problem here. The Negroes are going to the elections of November 14 organized against the whites, and a black military republic similar to Hayti is looked upon as a possible result. The Diaro muds that the whites will be forced to organize themselves also in self-defense. Other papers recognize that the new party considerably reduces the forces of both the Conservatives and Liberals. Knowing the strong race spirit that exists among the Negroes, little doubt is expressed that the new party will control a majority of the Negro vote. A fiery manifesto has been issued by Gen. Estenoz in his newspaper, La Prevision. He says that the revolutions in Cuba were never so sweeping as were needed, but that the next will be. After a savage attack on the Americans for lynching Negroes, he accuses some Cuban "traitors" of inciting Americans to act against the Negroes here, but says that the latter know how to fight.—Havana Cable to the New York Herald.

Among the conference visitors who passed through the city last week en route from the Methodist Conference was Prof. J. F. Lane, president of the Lane College; Jackson, Tenn. Prof. Lane is a young man, yet he has entered into the educational work with a seeming ardor and determination to win. Lane College is the largest and most successful of all the C. M. E. schools. It is advantageously located geographically. This together with a faculty makes it one of Tennessee's greatest schools. Mr. Lane spent but a part of the day in Nashville, having been compelled to hurry back to his school. He was among the large number of school presidents that was in Boston during the month of August and who attended the Fifth Clifton Conference. He stated to a Globe reporter while here that his school was doing very good work and that the prospects are extremely bright for doing better work. IN CHANCERY AT NASHVILLE, STATE OF TENNESSEE.

Olive Sunday-School was very largely attended last Sunday. The superintendent, Mr. James Hurt, had asked that each class raise $1.00. Most of the classes raised the amount, while Class No. 15, of which Dr. C. H. Clark is teacher, raised $2.30 and this amount captured the banner from Philathia Class No. 16. The quarterly crown rally, which takes place Sunday, November 8, promises to be hotly contested, as Philathia Class No. 16 has held the crown for the first three quarters, and the probabilities are that it will make a year of it. Tuesday night the teachers met and discussed the lesson for Sunday, November 1, which is "Absalom Rebels Against David." STEAM LAUNDRY The Globe received a letter containing cash from Mr. M. S.

By close application to his business he succeeded in amassing considerable real estate. His widow survives him. Mr. Edmund D. Richman, of 1625 Phillips street, a well-known letter carrier of the Nashville post-office, called at the home of the late J. Allen Bullock last Monday morning to get him to make alterations in the brickwork of his house, and was severely shocked when told that his old friend of many years standing passed away the preceding day. A rummage sale will be held in the vestry of Holy Trinity Church, at the junction of Sixth and Ewing avenues, beginning Thursday, November 5. Mr. P. H. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., was in the city Monday. Several departments of the Baptist Publishing House, were closed Tuesday, owing to repairs on the boilers of the concern. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, America's greatest Negro surgeon, held one of the most instructive surgical clinics during the past week at Mercy Hospital in the history of the institution. Most of the operations were of the major variety and such as are seldom seen. His skill in the operating room both in technique and point of finish cannot be described. Dr. Williams spent some time at Dr. Bluitt's Sanitarium in Dallas, Texas, where he performed a number of operations prior to his visit here and where he was forced to turn away a number of applicants for operative treatment because of the lack of sufficient accommodations. Our people are rapidly waking up to the fact that their greatest sympathizers are the men of their own race. Such men as this inspire confidence and establish reputation of the highest type. Dr. Jno. A. Kenny, of Tuskegee Institute (resident surgeon), who is an expert in the art of administering anesthetics, was here assisting Dr. Williams at Mercy Hospital. Dr. Kenny lectured to the students upon the subject of Anesthesia and Anesthetics. Dr. J. C. Lowe, of Mt. Pleasant, attended the surgical clinic to which he brought a few patients for treatment. Dr. E. W. Irving, of Memphis, was over to attend the clinics with some of his patients for surgical treatment. his patients for surgical treatment. What pleased us most was to see Dr Joseph E. Bias, of Shelbyville, Tenn., of the class of '08, bringing in possibly more patients than any one. This shows a hustling ability in the man. We were proud to shake hands with Drs. I. A. White and J. P. Hickman, both of Murfreesboro, Tenn., and who are practicing in co-partnership. "In union there is strength." Mr. J. W. Brayne has made and installed an electric projecting outfit in the Meharry Auditorium, which will be used for the purpose of delivering a number of illustrated lectures to be given during the school year. Bishop I. B. Scott, of the M. E. Church, delivered a lecture at the Meharry Auditorium October 23, upon Africa and the conditions and possibilities. The bishop's description of the field, his appeal for workers, the necessity for and preparation of the same was touching; after his address an effort was made to raise some money for the work. Bishop C. H. Phillips started it off by subscribing the sum of five dollars, and was followed by Dr. Hammond and others until the sum of eighty dollars had been subscribed. Another game has been decided between Fisk and Meharry and though the victory was in our favor, yet it was with the deepest regret that we realized the damage done when we heard of the misfortune of Fisk's star player, King. We hope that it is not as bad as reported. King is a star and we want him in, because he makes it really interesting. FISK NOTES. Dean H. H. Wright and Rev. Mr. Moore, who have returned from the American Missionary Association, brought back good reports which they made at the prayer-meeting last Wednesday night. They told in details of the many reports from other fields and largely discussed the real objects of the great Association. Dean Wright said that the Flisk quartette, composed of Prof. John Work and others from the University, was the entrance feature of all the meetings. The week has been one of prayer service, held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. This year the young men are taking up the Y. M. C. A. work even better than they did last year. Mr. King, who was badly injured last Saturday in the Fisk-Meharry football game is not able to be out. It is reported that the Thanksgiving game will be played at the city Athletic Park. The injury of Mr. King is a great loss to the sophomore team at Fisk, and we all hope for him a speedy recovery. The new library, located on the Bennett Field, promises, from all indications, to be one of the most beautiful buildings of its kind in the South, that is, when completed. WALDEN NOTES. Miss Dovie Reeves, of St. Lolius, is giving much satisfaction as preceptress. Dr. Bennett, the inspector of Freedmen's Aid Schools, spent several days in the city, the guest of the Uuniversity. He wants new building for Walden. Prof. M. S. Davage, Manager of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, gave an interesting talk to the students in the Chapel last Friday morning which was enjoyed by all. Miss Blanche Johnson, of the class of 1908, having studied elocution two year under Mrs. E. W. S. Hammond, has accepted a position to teach music and elocution at Burrell Normal School, Florence, Ala. Dr. and Mrs. M. C. B. Mason while in the city were guest of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. S. Hammond.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Sunday-school work at the First Baptist Sunday School is encouraging to all of those who are interested and actively engaged to make it helpful and successful. The Primary Class, under its efficient teacher, Mrs. Genie B. Williams, is not only doing finely, but is increasing in number. The Intermediate Class, under Miss Fila Hendry's faithful care and instruction, is doing splendid work. The secretaries of the Philathia and Baraca, Miss Effie T. Bryant and Mr. P. S. T——, give the following reports of the organization of their classes, respectively: Philathia Class. The young ladies of First Baptist Church have organized a class which is to be known as the Philathia. The following officers were elected: Miss E. A. Battle, President: Miss Vina King, Vice President; Miss Effle T. Bryant, Secretary: Mrs. Nicholson, Treasurer; Prof. S. P. Harris, Teacher. The class is composed entirely of young ladies. They extend a cordial invitation to all young ladies who wish to join a live, wide-awake Sunday-school class. The Baraca Class. The Baraca Class for young men was organized at the First Baptist Church Sunday, October 18, and started out with a charter roll of eighteen members. The class elected the following officers: M. Scovel Richardson, President; Phineas S. Thompson, Secretary; Andrew Stockard, Treasurer; E. P. Bond, Chairman Social Committee; Dr. W. S. Ellington, Teacher. All young men are invited to join. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR LEAGUE. The public is cordially invited to attend the Allen Christian Endeavor League of St. John A. M. E. Church, on Sunday evening, November 1, at 7 o'clock. Programme—Song service, song, prayer; vocal solo, Mrs. Robt. Zachary; address, Mr. Thos. W. Anderson, of Walden University; song, offertory. THANKSGIVING SERVICES AT HOLY TRINITY. The members of Holy Trinity Church celebrated on Sunday, October 18, their first annual thanksgiving service of removal into their church. The congregation was a very large one. The report of the year showed, cash, $713.26; expenses. $684.88; balance, $29.38. There were 28 baptisms, 23 confirmations, 57 communicants. On Friday evening the members entertained their friends at Brown's Hall, at which light refreshments were served. Several impromptu speeches were made and the young people glided over the floor quite gracefully. On Sunday, November 1 "The Feast of All Saints," there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion at 11 o'clock, when special prayers will be made for the faithful departed that they may rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon them Y. M. L. C. NOTES. On Monday night, October 26, The Young Men's Literary Club was royally entertained by Mr. Mansfield Douglass, of State street. No business of special importance was transacted on account of rendering of a long programme. The main number of the programme was an address by Mr. Stanley H. Cox, President of the High School Glee Club, which was well delivered and furnished many original ideas. The other numbers on the programme were an essay and reading by members of the Y. M. L. C. The club meets next Monday night with Mr. Henry J. Stockard, 1611 State street. SPRUCE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. The fall rally of the Spruce Street Baptist Church, Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., pastor, was pulled off last Sunday with a report of $232.98. This rally was somewhat hindered by the sudden death of Brother Allen Bullock, one of the strongest members and also a captain for the rally. A good number of captains have not yet reported and those who did report made only partial reports. The rally continues, and we feel safe in saying that we shall yet realize more than $350 when our final reports come in. The Spruce Street members have taken on new life and the church is fast returning to its old glory. They hope to begin a "fall revival" on the first Sunday in November. RAILWAY EMPLOYEES' PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION RE-ORGANIZES. The Railway Employees' Protective Association with headquarters at their hall, corner Tenth avenue, North, and Tedar street, perfected an organization at their last meeting and took out a charter under the laws of the State of Tennessee. The Association is three years old, and has a membership of between fifty and seventy-five. The object is the mutual protection of its members, and the officers are making a generous effort to enlist every railroad employee to join them. They make it a special point to work for the betterment of the railway employees along all lines. Special stress is laid on personal responsibility, realizing as they do that the railroad companies are at all times on the alert for trustworthy men. The association maintains a reading room for its members and has a library consisting of four hundred volumes. Some of the best books by our most eminent authors are in the collection. Their quarters are beautifully fitted up, with high-grade furniture that cost the association over $500 and they are adding to it from time to time. The new officers elected are as follows: H. Bowling, president; Joseph Smith, vice president; Linck Turner, treasurer; John Claybrooks, secretary; W. M. Cross, recorder. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. Julius Streator, one or the four children of Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Streator of Murrell street, celebrated his fourth birthday October 25. The invited guests consisted of the proverbial three, two of whom gladly accepted the invitation and felt highly honored and proud of the distinction of enjoying his hospitality. The last of the invited three did not accept the invitation neither did he send his regrets; it is quite evident he had none because during the hour of lunch he was peacefully enjoying his usual afternoon nap. The following were seated with Master Julius at the table: Aileen D. Streator and George Streator. After "grace" was said by the host the following menu was served: "Hot water tea with lemon in it, cake, white candy with sugar on it, flowers, ice cream cones, chocolate candy with burnips on it, and bears cut half in two." THE COMPTON FAMILY ENTER TAINS THE BOSSUM HUNTERS LAST Friday night, October 23, marked another epoch in the annals of local sport. The Compton family, seven miles out on the Hillsboro pike, invited a limited number of local possum hunters out to perambulate their vast tract of hunting land in search of the sullen little animal. Buggies and surreys were there to let. Shortly after the crowd assembled, a hearty handshaking took place; afterwards the party was entertained at the piano by the Misses Compton and Miss Noel. The "fantastic toe" was indulged in by a few. Shortly afterwards the possum hunters dispersed to the four winds of the Compton hunting grounds, led by Mr. Josh Compton, the host: Drs. Jefferson and Noel, Messrs. Longston and Napier, followed by a party of men and members of the gentler sex. Over the hills, through the sage-fields, down in the valleys, through nuck and mire, over fences, through tibbles and thorns, the crowds rushed in a spirited trot. Torn clothes, scratched hands and cheeks indicated the bull-dog tenacity and persistence of the pursuers to capture their victim. They got 'em. The wing led by Dr. Jefferson and Mr. Langston is due the honor. The crowd then returned full of ecstasy and enthusiasm and enjoyed a palatable supper. Every thing to satisfy the inner man was at the party's disposal. It is now nearing dawn, and the folly crowd repaired to their several homes, having enjoyed one of the hapiest periods of their mortal sojourn. The "Savage" was there to represent the Globe. The following persons made up the personnel: Dr. and Mrs. Noel, Dr. and Mrs. Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Langston, Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mr. Alonzo Napier, Miss Carrie Napier, Mr. Georgia Watkins, Miss Jennie Noel, Miss Mabel McKay, Mr. S. Evans Shirley, Miss Bettie Kelly, Miss Grace Frank, Mr. W. L. Imes, Rev. and Mrs. G. L. Imes, Miss Elizabeth Moore, Mr. C. R. Moore, Mr. S. E. Marshall, Miss Mynnie Hunter, Mr. T. Z. Franklin, Mrs. James Blaine, Mr. John Vaughn, Mr. Wilbur Fugett. VERDI KINDERGARTEN. MISS MATTIE F.

Nashville Globe Office, 447 Fourth Ave., N., National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second Ave., N., AND GET YOUR SPORT. Fisk and Meharry Sophs. met Sat. urday in one of the most exciting games played here for some time. Both teams were in the pink of con- dition; and long before time for play one could tell there was to be a hard struggle. Meharry seemed to be the heavier team, but the Fisk boys had the speed and staying power. Scott won the toss and chose to defend the south with a steady wind at his back. Fisk kicked off to Meharry and the game was on. After a few trys at the line Meharry puntea to midfield. Ii seemed here as though Fisk had the game sewed up, for she began her rushes which it seemed would soon land her behind the goal; but Mehar. ry was on the job, and soon stopped these rushes, throwing the runners for a loss. Here Fisk was compelled to punt, and Johnson received ihe ball and ran it back 15 yards. Me- harry then began her line plunges and soon had the ball in striking dis tance; here Fisk toox another brace, and the boys from the Medical School were held for two downs. Johnson made a try at goal by drop kick, bui the ball went wide, a Fisk man fall ing on it. Here Fisk made one of the most spectacular plays of the day. From a fake kick formation King car rying the ball 40 yards and making a long forward pass to Jackson, whe carried it 5 yards. King being in ured was compelled to retire fron the game, Rosenbergh taking hi: place. Fisk seemed to have los heart and begun to play a listless game. Meharry got the ball on ¢ fumble and carried it straight dowr the field until the 5 yard line wa: reached, but Fisk took a stand an¢ held for downs. The timekeepe' ealled time and the first half wa over. Meharry had completely outplaye: her opponent, as most of the play hat been in Fisk's territory. Fisk hat been kept continually on the defens ive; her line was weak and all of Me harry's gains were made on a pla just off tackle, which at times wer very brilliant. With King out of th game, Fisk seemed to have no on who could break up the play. Mehai ry played straight football of the ol ‘THE NASHVILLD GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1908. variety; only twice did she try the forward pass; it worked once and failed once, On the other hand, Fisk eemed to take advantage of the new vame and her long sweeping end runs and forward passes were things of beauty. Her formations for inter- ference were good, but having a weak line they were often spoiled. But ‘nee started they were hard io stop.| The second half opened up badly ‘or Fisk. Her men seemed nervous and began fumbling and kept it up Il through the half. Many good leys were spoiled by fumbling. Aft: ‘r rome exchange of kicks Meharry ‘egan her line plunging again, and oon had the ball on Fisk's 20-yard ine; and Johnson again drop kicked, but the ball fell short. Fisk here be- yan to play brilliant ball; her team began working together and the long sweeping end runs and off tackle rushes gained for her much ground. But by bad fumbling she lost the bell again and was compelled to kick end Johnson received the ball on the ‘)-yard line and raced up the field, by hent interference, for a touch: dewn. The goal was kicked. Score: Meharry, 6; Fisk, 0. From tuis peint on Meharry began to show hee strength. Her line bucking and | play of tackle were very effective and seemingly could not be stopped. Jchnson's broken field running was the feature of the day, taking the ball from kicks for long runs. There was no more scoring, and the game closed with the ball in Fisk's territory. Me: harry played a strong game and was best on old-style football, while Fisk seemed to have the advantage on the new eeme. Both teams fought hard throughout. The game was fast, anc esch team showed wonaerful grit ant endurance. The line-up was as fol lows, Meharry Position, Fisk, Hert -... Right end ... ..Jackson Tohuson ... . Left end ... ..

The above is a likeness of Johnson, ot Meharry, whose demonstration of broken field running in Saturday’s game was both brilliant and spec- ‘acular, He slips by tacklers elk- like and is a herd man to down. It was his run of 40 yards through a breken field that scored the only touchdown of the day. This is his second year at Meharry, having played at Knoxville and Talladega be- fore coming here. He has all the 2 rmerks of a great player, and much ‘e expected of him before his college ays ore over. Lincoln Institute Team. Special to The Globe: The Lincoln team this year is made up of new material, but is strong enough to give a good account of It. self anywhere. The men are fast and es \\ ae?

Lincoln had every- thing in the football line from the old- fashioned line plunge to the most de- ceptive forward passes, drop and placement kicks. The team is as good as any turned out from the school and will be heard from before the season is over. There ‘are men on the team that will be stars in the football world before . meir college days are over. We want to say that when you count your strong teams there will be no way but to count Lin. coln in. * KOK On Saturday, November 7, Meharry will have her first real test. The strong team from Talladega comes to Nashville to defeat the medicine men Talladega has one of the strongest teams in the country and is noted for turning out good teams. Some of the greatest stars seen in Nashville hail from Talladega; for instance, such men as Henson, Johnson, Allison an¢ Terry. And it is safe to say that she has other lights just as bright, only waiting for a chance to shine, FAREWELL DAY AT “JACKSON TEMPLE.

Dr. Matilda Evans, of Columbia, 8. C., is the first Negro woman to prac- tice medicine in -South Carolina. When 15 she entered the school for Negro children conducted by Miss Martha Schofield at Aiken, 8. C. From there she went to Oberlin Col- lege, in Philadelphia, where she grad- uated, On returning to her native city she began practice among the Negroes and soon realizing the needs of her people for a hospital, rented ‘the old home of a white family for that purpose. This was the first hos- pital opened in ‘the capital of South Carolina. At one’ time during the past winter Dr, Evans had in this hos- pital twenty-seven patients, although ihere were only suitable accommoda- tions for twelve. It is said that every dollar Dr, Evans earns tm her private practice goes to improve her hospital, which has been in operation about ten years, pee Miss Miranda Winter ts in the city having been called to the bed-side of her sick father.
