THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. With Pluralities Greater Than Roosevelt's IN MANY OF THE REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLDS. BUCKEYEDOM GIVES FAVORITE SON 100,000, WITH NEW YORK, PENNSY AND ILLINOIS IN LINE —"UNCLE JOE" REELECTED TO CONGRESS BY A HANDSOME MA- JORITY—PAYNE OF NEW YORK GETS IN, TOO — DALZELL SQUEEZES THROUGH — NO MORE USE FOR BIG STICK. It is the same old Bryan tidal wave. A tidal wave swept William Howard Taft into the White House just as it swept William McKinley thither in 1896 and 1900. Mr. Taft's majority in the Electoral College will be at least 100. Governor Hughes has been re-elected in New york by a plurality of approximately 45,000. The House of Representatives is safely Republican. Even "Uncle Joe" Cannon, despite the efforts of Mr. Gompers, has snatched himself like a brand from the burning and is re-elected in the Danville, Ill., district by a plurality between 6,000 and 7,000. The victory for the Administration and the Roosevelt policies is overwhelming. In a word, Mr. Taft has carried practically the entire East from Maine to Virginia and from the Atlantic to the Alleghenies. He has carried practically the entire Middle West. His victory in Illinois is so great that one almost fails to credit the reports. Cook County, in which the city of Chicago is situated and in which Mr. Bryan firmly believed he had started a political revolution, was carried by Taft by upward of 40,000 plurality. In the state Taft beat Bryan almost two to one. Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have gone heavily for Taft. Both the Dakotas are Republican on the national ticket. Kansas is Republican by at least 20,000. Scarce in Kentucky. Taft has easily even given the Democratic nominee a close contest in the border state of Kentucky. Indeed, so easily has the Republican candidate walked in that one wonders why the Republicans were so badly scared, nearly working Mr. Taft and the White House stenographer to death and generally bending every energy to make the victory so emphatic. The election is big with significance. Speaker Cannon is re-elected; Representative Dalzell is re-elected; Representative Payne is re-elected. Everywhere that Mr. Bryan and Mr. Gompers made a special effort to beat the man he had placed on the unfair list he came to grief. It was the first effort of organized labor to align itself with a political party, and it will probably be the last. Another significant thing in the election is its probable effect on the fortune of Tammany Hall. Tammany has failed utterly to make good its promises to Mr. Bryan concerning the Democratic vote in New York. That Bryan should not have polled a very large vote here, approxmating 100,000 more than Taft, will be a bitter disappointment to all the Bryan followers. The day before election a delegation of enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Bryan waited upon one of the most prominent men in Tammany Hall and plainly told him that if Tammany did not give Mr. Bryan a very large plurality in New York vengeance would be taken on Tammany at the next Mayorality election and the Bryanites would be used to elect a Republican Mayor. This phase of the voting is causing the gravest apprehension to the more intelligent and conservative members of the wigwam. There has been a slaughter of Republican gubernatorial candidates in states which Taft has carried. Oley Arnold, Democrat, is elected in Rhode Island; Governor Burke is re-elected in North Dakota; Governor Johnson is re-elected in Minnesota. Some of the pluralities for Taft are enormous. Maine Gives him 50,000; Vermont, 18,000; Massachusetts, 100, NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1908. sirice is one of the most beautiful wild ever found.

There has also been an increase in the Republican vote in the Southern states. Twenty thousand more men voted for Taft in Florida than for Roosevelt four years ago. Virginia's plurality for Bryan has fallen to 18,000, and the Republicans have gained a member of Congress. There has also been a considerable gain in the Republican vote in Georgia and North Carolina. New Jersey, like New York, has increased its Republican plurality. It gave 80,000 for Roosevelt in 1904. Taft carries it by more than that. "Uncle Joe" Re-elected to Congress by a Hardship Majority Joseph G. Cannon has been re-elected to Congress by a plurality considerably above the normal. Returns are still incomplete, but enough figures have been obtained to show that he will probably have a plurality of at least 10,500. In Danville, Ill., eight of nineteen precincts give Cannon a majority of 1,748. This is an increase of about 100 votes in the same precincts over his majority two years ago. Payne Gets There. Too. The re-election of Sereno E. Payne, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee in the House of Representatives, means that Mr. Payne will organize the Taft work of the next Congress and will introduce the next tariff bill. Throughout the Congressional recess he has been gathering information to lay before the Ways and Means Committee when Congress reassembles. Mr. Payne has been in Congress almost continuously for the last twenty-four years. He succeeded to the important Chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee on the death of Mr. Dingley, of Maine, author of the present Dingley tariff. Dalzell Squeezes Through. The re-election of Congressman John Dalzell in the Thirtieth District by a greatly reduced plurality is conceded. Edward F. Duffy, Democrat, made a hard fight against him, cutting into his usual vote in industrial precints. "WHERE'S THE BIG STICK?" Grimy Railroad man Asks Roosevelt on His Way to Vote. Philadelphia, Penn., November 3.—"Where's the big stick?" shouted one of the 30 railway mechanics covered with oil and grime, who had congregated on a stone wall near the car of President Roosevelt, when his train stopped at West Philadelphia thi afternoon, while en route from Oyster Bay to Washington. The President who had appeared on the observation platform of his car in response to the cheers, immediately began to laugh, and shouted back in response: "No use for the big stick any more, boys." Some one asked: "How is the election going?" To this Mr. Roesevett gave his latest and concise answer: "We've got them beaten to a frazzle." THE NAME "H. T. G. M." What Has Been Said of This Organization and What It Is Accomplishing In The City Among the noted organizations of women in this city is the H. T. G. M. Club. It is a social organization, but yet from time to time the members have spread the mantle of charity over more than one charitable cause. This club is just celebrating its first anniversary. The purpose of those who effected the organization was to promote the social happiness of their friends. The peculiar part of the organization seems to be its name. "At the outset it was not intended to be a secret," said one of the active members of the club to a Globe reporter. The name was selected by one of the members," she continued. "It was a long, odd name and of but little interest to any one save the members, but on the appearance of the first write-up the reporter used only the initials, H. T. G. M. which created so much curiosity that at the next meeting it was decided to keep the name secret." The club members are principally young ladies who have grown up in this city, nearly all of whom are graduates of the city high school, quite a number being teachers. Sometime ago a discussion was heard concerning the meaning of "H. T. G. M." Some said long since that it stood for "How to get married." others said, "Hunting twenty good men," and still others said it was "Hard to get mine," and a hundred other things, but the true name of the organization is as far from the public now as ever. Some of the members have gone to various parts of the country: Miss Hazel Thompson, who only recently entered the club at her home in this city, is teaching music in the Texas College at Tyler, Texas; Miss Willie Page is living in Chicago; Miss John Thompson is teaching in the Deaf Dumb and Blind School, Knoxville Tenn.; Miss Clotelle Chappelle has moved to Columbia, S. C.; Miss Nance L. Sumner is with the Delta Penny Savings Bank at Indianola, Miss., and so on they have gone until quite a few of them have scattered. The interest in the club however is as alive to-day as when the organization was perfected. And whether the first name applied by the public be true or not it seems to be working along that line. While only one member has married so far, the weddings bells will ring on several soon. The next scheduled to embrace matrimony is Miss Caroline Mildred Bryant and it is certain that there will be others before the holidays. The following is a list of officers and members: Lillian Badger, President; Lillian Bright, Vice President; Esther Pinkard, Secretary; Caroline Mildred Bryant, Reporter; Fannie Banks, Assistant Secretary; Mynnie Mae Hunter, Treasurer, Laura Polk, Hazel Thompson, John Thompson, Esther P. Berry, Nora Berry, Bessie Martin, Mollie Berry, Lillie Banks, Emma Owen, Clotelle Chappelle, Alberta Davis, Nannie Sumner, Willie Page, Georgia Anna Boyd, Georgia Watkins. At the time the photograph was made several members were on the sick list. Three attempts were made to get the entire membership without success. H. T. G. M. CLUB The H. T. G. M. Club met in their regular semi-monthly meeting, with Mrs. Laura Polk Smith, of Sixth avenue, South. Those present spent the time very pleasantly laughing and chatting, until the hostess rang the bell for the beginning of the progressive whist contest. The contest was very sharp and resulted in a tie between five persons for the first prize. The tie was settled by a cut, in which Misses Addie Streator and Lillian Bright cut the same card twice. Miss Streater being the lucky one in a third cut. The prize, which was a beautiful card-receiver, was awarded her. The consolation prize, which was quite a unique combination of a bank and a man, was given Miss Minnie Hunter. A delightful two-course menu, consisting of ices and cakes and coffee, was served. The president then called the members of the club together and the business part of the meeting was transacted. Several important points were discussed and settled. The day of meeting was changed from Saturday to Thursday. Notice of place of next meeting will be given later. Mrs. Smith had as her guests Mrs. Cooms, Misses Cooms, Addie Streator and Lady Emma Phillips. COLORED SOLDIERS IN WHITE REGIMENTS. One of the surprises of Founders Week, to our home people, as well as those from elsewhere, was to see the number of colored men enrolled in the National Guard. In the white regiments of the state there were representatives in each branch of the military service. This is one of the effective ways to break down prejudice. In this feature, this state stands alone. We know of no other state where colored men are enrolled in white regiments. Philadelphia Tribune. No.44 COLLECTIONS SATISFACTORY Close of Conference f A. M. E. Church at Paris. FUND FOR TURNER NORMAL INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. ASSIGNMENT OF PREACHERS TO THE VARIOUS CHARGES FOR THE ENSUING YEAR—REV. G. W. PORTER PROMOTED TO PRESIDING ELDER AND ASSIGNED TO CLARKSVILLE DISTRICT— REV. C. H. BOONE, FORMERLY PASTOR OF ST. PAUL, STATIONED AT CLARKSVILLE. Paris, Tenn., November 2.—The A. M. E. Conference came to a close this evening, when the appointments were read out. The pulpit was filled Sunday morning by Bishop W. H. Heard, of Liberia, Africa. The Saturday afternoon session wound up the business of the conference. The Paris church was the last to report on collections during the year. The amount collected by the church was $1,503.40, the largest amount of this report swelled the amount reported by other charges in amount ever collected by it. The West Tennessee conference to something near $50,000 collected during the year, $20,000 of this amount covering pastors' salaries. The amount brought to conference was $3,360.70. Of this amount more than $1,250 was paid out at the conference for local conference obligations. The balance went to the support of the various bevolences of the general conference. About $600 was raised as a special educational fund. Efforts will be made during the year to raise at least $5,000 for Turner College at Shelbyville. Enough money was raised in a few moments to donate a horse for the use of that institution. Trustees for the college were elected as follows: Rev. H. F. Smith, Rev. W. A. Lewis, Rev. F. W. Gardner, Rev. J. W. Puckett and Rev. C. H. Shelto. The following were appointed trustees of the Wilberforce College at Xenia, Ohio: Dr. C. H. Shelto, Dr. J. H. Grant, Dr. J. W. Pickett, Dr. R. B. Brookins and Dr. W. A. Lewis. Rev. G. W. Porter, D. D., of Memphis, was elected fraternal delegate to the East Alabama conference, and Rev. C. H. Shelto, D. D., of Memphis, as fraternal delegate to the North Alabama conference. Rev. R. Brookins, of Memphis, A. C. Smith, of Nunnerly, F. W. Gardner, of Clarksville, and Rev. T. H.

Enterprise From LeConteRiser (Mass. Enterprise The following will be found of general interest. This is true as a fact and also, because the story illustrates the truth that the color of the person makes very little difference in the political outcome. Where politicians rule, there is corruption, whatever be the color: Interesting examples of towns actually governed by Negroes may be found to-day. One of these is but ninety miles from Chicago and ninety five miles from Detroit, known as Calvin, Cass County, Mich. Its history is characteristic. The Quakers among its founders made it a haven of refuge for the fugitive slaves on their way to the Canada borders, so that by 1860 of the 1368 Negroes in Cass County, 795 lived in Calvin township. They were in fact the majority of the population, and have continued to be so ever since, being in fact sixty per cent of the population (about 1,500) to-day. It was not, however, till 1875 that the first Negro was elected to office, and it is only within the last fifteen years that the town government has been chiefly in the hands of Negroes. The officers of the municipality are supervisor, clerk, treasurer, road commissioner and school directors. All these except the treasurer are colored. The Negroes who make up the township are as a rule land-owners, and the market value of their property is about $400,000. A majority of the pieces of property owned are farms of between twenty and eighty acres, raising corn, wheat, oats and potatoes. But there are no "professional politicians" in the community, and the Negroes themselves reject any idea of "dominating" the township. They are proud of the fact that the offices have so generally fallen to colored incumbents. There is another Negro-governed community which presents a very dark contrast to this agricultural township ruled by Negro farmers. It is, the suburb of East St. Louis called Brooklyn, Illinois. This Negro town also rose from an early "station" on the "underground railroad" for fugitive slayes: Many of the runaways remained in Brooklyn instead of continuing the flight to Canada, and the population is estimated at over 1600 to-day. The Negroes of Brooklyn are principally railroad hands and laborers in the stockyards and steel works there. There is a standing offer to the chiefs of police of the surrounding towns for all the Negroes they can send to Brooklyn, so lively is the demand for coarser kind of day labor. The corrupting influences of the large corporations have produced the type of Negro politicians who fix property. As the politicians in the Southern Workman, (organ of the Hampton Institute), from which these facts are drawn, says: "Instead of paying the tax, I am informed that the corporation often buy off Negro politicians, so that they have only a small tax to pay. The politicians permit an employee of the company to be elected assessor, so as to assess the company's property. Thus, as in a hundred other municipalities where politicians rule, corruption is rampant." Then the enforcement of the liquor law by Governor Folk has driven the saloons and other evil resorts and their patrons from St. Louis across the river. The colored ministers are in despair over the situation of their town, although the mayor, treasurer, clerk, inspector of streets, fire chief and chief of police and the six members of the village council are all Negroes. --- THE STROLLERS' CLUB The Strollers' Club gave a storm Hallowe'en at the home of Mrs. John Austin, of Grundy street, Saturday night. Among those present was Miss Emma Young, of Columbia. Games and dancing were the enjoyments of the evening, after which a two-course menu was served. Mr. C. H. Scruggs presided at the piano. PAINEFUL INJURY. On Tuesday the spirited horses of Mr. Joseph S. Gibbs, the veteran expressman, became frightened in the business district and tried to run away. Mr. Gibbs, who was on the side-walk, jumped into his wagon to stop the animals, and while doing so he caught his left hand on a spike, tearing it badly. Mr. Gibbs is unable to attend to his business matters. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1908 JOHNSON-BRYANT NUPITALS. The arrangements for the Johnson-Bryant nuptials have been completed. The wedding ceremony will take place at the home of the bride, 1205 Second avenue, South, at "sun-rise," 6:30. Miss Bryant will be attended by a matron-of-honor, in the person of Mrs. A. G. Price. The wedding will be characterized by its simplicity, no especial program will be carried out. The bride is one of the most popular young ladies of the city. She is a graduate of Pearl High School of the class of 1900, and of Walden University of the class of 1901. For many years she was a student in the Music Department at Fisk University, being especially talented in music, both vocal and instrumental. Miss Bryant was for a number of years a teacher in the City Public Schools. Her last position, as organist and vocal instructor in Pearl High School, was ably filled, and she will be keenly missed by all her pupils. She was a member of the popular young ladies' club, the "H. T. G. M., also president of "The Young Ladies' Progressive League," a religious club connected with St. Paul Church. Dr. Charles H. Johnson, the groom, is a graduate of Meharry Medical College, Class of 197. At present he is a most successful practitioner in Atlanta, Ga. He will arrive in the city Sunday afternoon. Miss Bryant will receive those of her many friends, who may wish to bid her farewell, from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Tuesday of November 10th. She leaves on the 9:30 train for her future home, 184 So. McDaniel street, Atlanta, Ga. Y. M. L. C. On Monday night, November 2, the Y. M. L. C. met at the home of Mr. H. J. Stockard, 1611 State street. A very large number being present, much important business was transacted, and it was a very late hour before the meeting adjourned. Two new members were received. The outlook is brighter, and under the able guidance of our President, Mr. Kinzer, we hope to do still better in the future. On Monday night, November 9, the club meets at the home of Mr. E. L. Berry, 2004 Jefferson street. SONG SERVICE The song service at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Sunday night was well attended, and the singing by the congregation was inspiring. There were several solos and duetts rendered by some of the sweetest singers of the city. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB THE PHyllis WHEATLEY CLUB. The Phyllis Wheatley Club met October 29, at the residence of Mrs. J. H. Hale, on Wetmore street. This was the first time the club had met with Mrs. Hale, and she proved to be a very charming hostess. More than the usual amount of business was transacted. The club decided to present the "Federation" of the clubs of the city to all other similar organizations and ask them to meet at St. Paul Church, November 19, at 3:30 p. m., in order that they may discuss the advisability of such an undertaking. Each president of any social or charitable club is invited to be present, if not in person please send your written expression in writing to Mrs. G. S. Jackson, 707 Lea avenue. After the business meeting a three course luncheon was served. The next meeting will be on Thanksgiving day, with Mrs. Harriet Campbell, 164 Lafayette street. DUQUOIN NEGRO DOLL FAIR The Colored Women's Clubs of DuQuoin, Ill., Have Decided to Duquoin, Ill., Nov. 4. At the last meeting of the several colored women's clubs of this city it was decided that they should unite in one effort to give what will no doubt be the first Negro Doll Fair ever given in the United States. The date for holding the fair has been set for November 23-30. Heretofore the same organizations have held annual fairs but for no special purpose except to raise funds for charitable and missionary work. This year they have other objects in view, primarily for introducing into the homes of Negroes dolls that will not be a reflection upon the moral standing of the race and the infusing of race pride in the children of the race. Mrs. J. R. Bennett's expression on the subject, "We want real Negro dolls for our homes." It seems that Duquoin, like many other Illinois towns, including Springfield, is following in the wake of the National Baptist Convention, which was no doubt the first national body to pass a resolution indorsing the Negro doll idea. It will be remembered that it was at their meeting at Lexington during the month of September that the following resolution was passed: "Whereas, Our people for half a century, because of the uncomely and deformed features of Negro dolls, have spent thousands of dollars upon white dolls for Christmas, etc., therefore, be it "Resolved, That we do here and now give our indorsement and hearty approval of the Negro Doll Factory, and not only urge the patronage of the people of our churches as Baptists. but of the race at large throughout the United States." The Illionois Federation of Women's Clubs, which met at Bloomington, took similar action, endorsing the Negro Doll Factory at Nashville, Tenn., and recommending the idea to all the women of that state. Duquoin has already received a shipment of these Negro dolls from the Negro Doll Company at Nashville, Tenn. The city is fairly over them. The fair promises to be a brilliant success. It was further learned from Mrs. Bennett, who is Corresponding Secretary of the Women's Auxiliary to the Baptist State Convention, that similar steps are being taken in almost all Illinois towns as well as in other states. Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky., a woman of international reputation, is in line with the movement, as is Miss E. B. Delany, of Fernandina, Fla.; Mesdames S. W. Layton, of Philadelphia; Ella M. Abner, of Texas; E. Arlington Wilson, of Kansas; V. W. Broughton, of Nashville; M. E. Goins, of Missouri, and P. James Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga. There is a gratitude in the hearts of these dear people for Dr. R. H. Boyd for this new movement as in the case of the publishing house movement begun several years ago. CLUB NO TWO. Club Number Two had a delightful meeting Tuesday night, November 3 at the residence of Mrs. Williams, 23 Ash street. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Venerable and was addressed by Mr. Edward Chrismon. Several speeches were made by others of the club and a two-course menu was served by Mrs. Williams with the assistance of Mrs. Hall. Those present were Rev. Venerable, Misses Mary Chrismon, Georgia Woolen, Mrs. Jennie Woolens, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Smitn, Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Creach and Edward Chrismon. The club will meet at the residence of Mrs. Smith next Tuesday, at 14 Maple street. RETURNS TO THE CITY.

Quite a large and jolly crowd of pleasure-seekers gathered at the residence of Mrs. Smith, corner of Seventh and Shelby streets, Saturday evening to pass off the evening in Hallowe'en fashion. The double parors and dining-rooms were thrown open to the guests, and the house everywhere bore the signs of Hallowe'en decorations and gaiety. The young ladies wore masks and each young man endeavored to discover his partner among the masked crowd, but in vain. At 10 o'clock each unmasked, and it was then that the merriment of the evening began. At a late hour ices and refreshments were served. Dancing was the chief amusement. Among those present were Misses Lizzie and Marie Stockell, Geneva Bender, Annie L. Robertson, Jennie L. Brothers, Lena Barnes, Vannoy Webster, Mattie Vaulx, Queenie Arnold. --- --- Nashville. 023--14th Ave.. N.

"Ransome" soul that Jesus bought, The good night of the faith is fought; Through grace is the victory won, Thanks be unto God's own dear son." So we record the triumph of grace when the Christian, falling on sleep, yields the spirit unto God. Such was the gracious ending of the earthly life of Mrs. Jeminia Rayborn, the mother of Mrs. Annie Ransom, at her home, Thursday evening, October 28, 1908. She was gentle and steadfast in her devotion to what was right. Faithful in the performance of her duties at home and loyal to her church, she everywhere won the love and esteem of all who knew her. Her death, a sad bereavement to her friends, her only daughter and sister, was but the going home of a child of God.

Mississippi's Famous Negro Town Mound Bayou, Miss., Nov. 2.—This city, characteristic because of its distinctively Afro-American municipal government, has again exhibited its love for true race enterprise. Aside from claiming the distinction of being the largest, most prosperous, and most up-to-date city of its kind in the United States, it claims to be the first in the country to place a large order for Negro dolls. It is learned that the order was sent to-day to the Negro Doll Company at Nashville, Tenn. The firm who placed this order was C. S. Stringer & Co., who own the leading general merchandise and dry goods store in this city. They ordered a large assortment of these dolls. While it only called for $25.00 worth of dolls, it is but the beginning. The senior member of the firm, Mr. C. R. Stringer, stated that he wanted to be among the first to help bring to this city the Negro dolls. Mound Bayou has Negro everything else save these, hence Mr. Stringer was of the opinion that the adding of the Negro dolls will complete the list. He is looking for the shipment real soon. Scores of families are anxiously awaiting the arrival, and the town people will, no doubt, be eager to welcome them in this part of the South. COLUMBIA NOTES. Prof. J. W.

We are ready to begin the year's work with increased interest, and we urge every society to read the weekly lessons on the topic cards. We shall begin a series of institutes November 10 in Nashville at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. Dates for other points will be given later. All sisters are earnestly invited to attend institutes when held in their communities. God has greatly blessed us this year and in spite of the financial crisis, we have made a creditable showing in our offerings as a woman's state convention, in both our state and national obligations. We now make an earnest appeal to each society to hold a meeting some hour Thanksgiving day and take an offering for our general work. Every object is crying for our help. Dear sisters, do what you can and report to us as early as possible after you have held your meeting. 1613 Jefferson street. Nashville Tenn. SEVEN SISTERS IN WEDDING PARTY. From the Chicago News. Mrs. John Sweeney, 1579 Kenmore avenue, and seven of her eight daughters helped to make up a unique wedding party Wednesday night when two of the daughters—Miss Katherine and Miss Alice—were married in St. Mary's of the Lake Church to Thomas J. Hyland and Gerald Dunne respectively. Because of the close family resemblance between the young women much facetious apprehension was expressed by spectators lest the young brides to be experienced embarrassment at the altar. The brides were attended by the twin sister of Miss Katherine, Mrs Walter Birmingham, while four other sisters fell in line as bridesmaids, one sister being ill. The bridesmaids were all similarly attired. THE FILIPINO AND THE NEGRO. Secretary Taft was the Friend of Each of Them When Governor General. "Mr. Goldwin Smith has laid it down as a law of political science that the white man is incapable of governing alien races. If he had said off-colored races he would have come at the truth of it. The colonial administration of every European state demonstrates the truth of it in the various history of them. When the European Japhet has undertaken to rule the Shem of Asia, the Ham of Africa, and the Esau of America in the Indian he has uniformly failed, except when he has done so with a long arm and a high hand. In America Japhet has driven out the red Esau and is eating up the black Ham which he fetched here 'o be his servant. Mr. Goldwin Smith was not mindful of Biblical prophecy, but rather of European colonial history when he wrote his little book."—T. Thomas Fortune. "Secular history cannot be properly interpreted, because improperly under- stood, except in the light of Biblical prophecy. Mr. Goldwin Smith is learned in all of the wisdom of the Gentiles, as Moses was of that of the Egyptians, but he has none of the spirit of Shem which abided in Moses from the birth to the death of him in Moab and made him lawgiver unto all men for all time. "The main object of European conquest has been exploitation of the territory and the labor of the aliens conquered. British history in East India and Belgium in the African Congo, not to mention the brutal colonial history of Spain and Portugal, sufficiently demonstrates this to be the fact. "The United States has not followed the policy of European states in the annexed territory of Hawaii or the territories of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It has given territorial government to Hawaii and Porto Rico, it is allowing Cuba to work out its self-government by preparation for it; while the Filipinos have their own government to Hawai and Porto Rico; assembly, patterned after our national Congress, with the promise held out to them of absolute independence when they are capable of maintaining it; Filipino conditions which did not obtain under Spanish rule." H. B. CLUB'S STAG. The H. B. Club gave a stag last Saturday evening in honor of Mr. Milton Darden, who married Sunday noon.

THE NEGRO VOTER OF TENNESSEE. The most notable incident of the election in this state was the large number of Negroes that voted for Patterson. The result was no surprise to those who had been keeping abreast of the best thought of the race. Such an outcome has been indicated in these columns since the beginning of the campaign. The Third Ward of this city clearly indicated the temper of the Negro voter in this state. In 1900 this ward contained a total population of 3,841. Of these 2,450 were colored and 1,391 were white. Since the census the limits of the ward has been so extended as to give a Negro voting population of 2 to 1 in excess of the whites. In the election last Tuesday this ward, with its large Negro population, gave Mr. Patterson 178 to 115 cast for Tillman. To emphasize the fact, it would seem that the Negro is not a democrat, the ward piled up a vote of 207 for Taft while Bryan received only 100. There are several reasons why the Negroes supported Mr. Patterson in preference to Mr. Tillman. The most important of these is that Governor Patterson has made a record as a capable, fair, efficient executive officer. His pardon record, too, touched the heart of his Negro constituents. When Gov. Patterson visited the penitentiary, without solicitation from outsiders, and turned out therefrom that band of boys ranging in age from 12 to 17—boys, some of whom, as in one case, were in the bastile for such misdemeanors as stealing a half dozen eggs, he captured possibly the votes of half of those that supported him. It was an extraordinary thing for a Governor of Tennessee to take interest in the youthful criminals of our race and the voters attested their appreciation of this and similar acts of fairness which Mr. Patterson has exhibited in other cases by giving him their support at the polls. Tuesday's election will be a landmark in Tennessee politics. It was the first time that the Negro has shown a spirit of independence. This election, The Globe believes, will cause republican politics in this county to be stripped of the tricky methods that have been in vogue for several years, and put the power of dictating the policy of the party where it rightfully belongs—in the hands of the masses of the party. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1908 EDUCATIONAL FUNDS. Now that the election is over and the new legislators have been named, we should lay aside our little petty partisan feelings, and begin work in time for the interest of the race. Whether this or that colored man supported that or the other party should be forgotten and the race come together to secure something tangible from the legislature for fostering education among the colored youth. We have called attention repeatedly in these columns to the fact that the state of Tennessee appropriates not a single dollar for the education of the boys and girls of our race. For two years we have insistently drummed the fact into our readers that money being appropriated by the general government for the help of a state school for our race is being improperly used. We have pointed out the need of a state school hoping that as seed sown our articles would bear an abundant crop when the legislature convenes. The harvest time is almost here. Whether we secure the ripened fruit of a state school will depend very much upon our own efforts. The Tennessee Legislature will doubtless make an appropriation of $250,000 for Peabody Normal College another of $100,000 or more for the University of Tennessee, and still others to the Tennessee Industrial School and the Experimental station in the western portion of the state. In all about a half million dollars will be appropriated for education from which the Negro child will not receive an iota of benefit. This making wards of the white child and outcasts of the colored is not fair and we believe that if the proper effort is put forth to impress the members of the legislature of its unfairness that body, with the support of the Governor, will be brought to change it. Let us put aside petty jealousies and prejudices and join in one united campaign for our share of the educational appropriations. THE ELECTION. The election of William Howard Taft as the next President of the United States is surprising only in the matter of the popular vote and the large majority that he will receive in the electoral college. Mr. Taft's election was evident almost from the time that his nearest competitor, William Jennings Bryan, was nominated at Denver. Mr. Taft has a genial temperament that makes friends of almost everyone with whom he comes in contact. Yet there were thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, who voted for him as the lesser of two evils. Many of the voters who supported the republican nominee disliked the methods used in securing his nomination, others objected to voting for a man who apparently would be but the echo of a former President—yet, who could trust Bryan? Who wanted the visionary orator of the Platts to reorganize the Supreme Court? Turn loose the band of Goths headed by Haskell and the like upon the United States Treasury? Gommers upon our courts? It was the fear of Bryan that elected Taft. Bryan is wedded to the radical theories that brought on the recent financial panic. Mr. Taft, though he has averred time and again that there will be no let up in the Roosevelt policies, is of such a conservative nature that business men would rather trust him than his democratic opponent. It is to be observed that Mr. Bryan gained votes in the Middle West, while in the East Taft ran ahead of the Roosevelt vote of four years ago—even carrying for his party New York City, a thing that has happened but once before since the organization of the republican party. Taft's extraordinary strength in the East and his weakness in the Middle West, was due in all probability to the financial panic of last year. The West with its bumper crops which were sold at high prices, did not feel the effects of the panic hence were willing that the Roosevelt policies should be made even more radical by Bryan. But the East having borne the brunt of hard times brought on as it believes by the radical theories of Roosevelt, was not willing to make The South, having lined up solid for Bryan, can now return four years to the more prosaic occupation of growing cotton, corn, tobacco, nightriders and the like. Luke Wright is to remain in Taft's cabinet is one of the late reports. Well, if we must have a Southern democrat then we would as soon see the Luke Wright, of yellow fever fame, a member of Taft's cabinet as any one else. The political bishops having neglected their ecclesiastical duties to electioneer will soon leave their conferences for a grand assault upon the appointive power of the new administration. Mr. Mayor, what about that Jefferson street nuisance? "The battle is o'er and the thunders are hushed on the moor," said Campbell, the poet, in his description of the battle of Culloden, and a similar thing may be said of the great political national contest between the forces of democracy and republicanism which ended when the ballot boxes throughout the country closed Tuesday evening. The campaign had been waged with unabated vigor and zeal by the leaders of both of the two old parties. Taft and Bryan, with their respective lieutenants, had waged a war of words throughout what was thought to be the doubtful states such as has never been surpassed if ever equalled. They hurled at each other charges and counter-charges galore, when the poor, suffering, helpless common people were almost bewildered with counter discussions and arguments. Each side endeavored to show and convince the electors that its sole, unselfish and patriotic mission was to save the country by saving the government, which if intrusted to the other side would go to the shades of limbo. Thus in the last weeks and day of the strenuous campaign did the two old political antagonists struggle with might and main for political supremacy. Up and down, to and fro across the doubtful arena did they spout, spout, roar and agonize about the sins and misdoings of their opponents. The suffering people listened with seeming patience and in silence at the seers and prophets of politics, and were, no doubt, glad when Tuesday, election day, came for them to register in a tangible form their conviction and end the whole matter. The struggle has passed and the result is history. Not only is this country relieved from the uncertainty of the result, but other countries as well. Business will now assume its temporarily suspended activity and operation, because it was amplified that if Mr. Taft was successful the present policies would be continued. The majority of the people recorded their faith in the present policies in no uncertain way at the ballot box Tuesday, and there is no reversal of their decision for the next four years. It is hoped that the incoming administration will adhere to the fundamental principles contained in the Magna Charta of this country, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution with regard to the inalienable rights of all men without fear or favor. Mr. Editor: I want to say through the columns of your most valuable paper a word of sympathy to the wife and friends of our dear Brother Allen J. Bullock. He was a good Christian husband and friend, always ready to lend a helping hand to the church and to those afflicted. I have known Brother Bullock for a number of years. I herewith extend to the bereaved wife my deepest sympathy and say that our loss is heaven's gain. MRS. M. S. PECK. Helena, Ark. THE A. M. E. REVIEW OUT. Nashville is fast becoming the mecca of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. One by one the general officers are awakening to the many advantages of being located here. Three general departments are located in this city and heads of others are looking this way. The latest to make its advent is the A. M. E. Church Review, the official magazine of the connection. Prof. H. T. Kealing is editor and publisher. He formerly made his headquarters in Philadelphia, but realizing that Nashville is by far more centrally located he moved here and located in the A. M. E. Sunday School Union building on the Public Square. The church has two publishing houses, one in Philadelphia and the Sunday School Union Publishing House, consequently President by its vote a man more inclined to visionary schemes than the incumbent of the White House. Mr. Taft will make an efficient President. He will go into office the best prepared man by actual contact with affairs of Government that has ever been elected to the office. He will be fair to the Negro by treating him as any other American citizen and that is all he should ask. But with all these points in his favor, Mr. Taft will not make an ideal President—he is from Ohio and every President we have had from that state has had a backbone of jelly. We are in receipt of the initial issue of the Allen Student, a semi-monthly published at Allen University, Columbia, S. C. Rev. W. D. Chappelle, President of the University, is the editor. Dr. Chappelle was editor of the Sunday-School Monitor, while he was Secretary and Treasurer of the Sunday School Union, of the A. M. E. Church, and anyone who remembers the tobacco flavored editorials appearing in that paper previous to the recent General Conference, can form a correct idea of the style of The Student. The new paper has made a very auspicious beginning and with the excellent facilities for getting out work which it possesses, it is bound to be a success. Mistakes will happen in the best regulated concerns, but when made they should be promptly reported. The death of the woman from Clarksville caused by the administering of the wrong kind of medicine, brings to light a connivance between nurse and physician that was criminal. It is to be hoped that the Board of Public Works will thoroughly investigate the case. It ought to be possible, too, to hold the house surgeon accountable to the Criminal Court for criminal neglect. We have no disposition to crow over the defeat of the state republicans, yet we are pleased with the result. In our good humor we would give the "I won't hear you one minute" committee this pointer: Pimps, no matter how well dressed they may be, will not change sensible voters nor make them vote for the republican party on election day. By recognizing such scalawags as leaders decent men are driven from the party; that is, they disfranchise themselves by staying away from the polls. Two years from now when the conventions are being called to elect delegates we hope no such tricky methods as were used this year will be resorted to. If it is the indications are that there will not be a republican ward in the city. The Negro has lost the fear that the word democrat once inspired. The election over, the pie brigade will begin to figure on a chance of getting at the federal pie counter unless they be leaders in the organization. If they be leaders they will figure on holding what they have. Bryan is so accustomed to being defeated that he went to bed early on the night of the election for the first time, we believe, since he was nominated. Then again there are times when one wants to be alone. 1 Now that the election is over Harry Thaw, the Haines, Morse, Curtis and the night-riders can get longer "write-ups." From one ill we fly, as it were, to another. It would seem from the result in Indiana that the Negroes of the state followed The Freeman's injunction—"Vote for your friends." It is a delightful feeling to be on the winning side once in a life time in a state election. Let the slogan be from now until the closing of the legislature, "We must have an appropriation for Negro schools." SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL NO. 1 I.U.J.K. NEW YORK, N.Y.

She and Georgia Whitner and Aline Demoss, 6 years old, were in the house asleep, so it was reported, when the Whitner woman was suddenly awakened by some one breaking in the window. She jumped up screaming and found flames had cut off her exit through the door, and escaping through the window she left the child in the bed and Alberta Patton in the next room with smoke and flames between her and the door. After Georgia Whitner had escaped, John Rogers, of 1109 Johnston avenue, said he jumped into the room through the broken window and rescued the child; then went back into the next room and found Alberta Patton lying on the bed asleep, and awaking her tried to pull her out, but she became so frightened at seeing the fire everywhere that she tore loose from him and ran under the bed. By that time he said, the flames were sweeping into the room, and he became alarmed and fled to save his own life. By the time Engine Company No. 7 came to the scene the flames had completely enveloped the room. The building burned was owned by Mrs. Mary Guinn, and was occupied by John Patton, his wife, mother and his sister's little child, Aline Demoss and an adjoining room was occupied by Miss Georgia Whitner. The cause of the fire is unknown. The building almost completely destroyed, was valued at $800.

The warrant was sworn out by James Valentine colored, charging this woman with having murdered his sister, Alberta Valentine Patton, and setting fire to the building and burning the body. Georgia Scott and Alberta Patton lived in the same house on an alley, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, and Saturday night about 7 o'clock the building caught fire and burned the body of the Patton woman to a crisp. At that time the house was occupied by these two women and a child, Aline Demoss, 6 years old, but the child being asleep could not account for the flames, and the Scott woman says she knows nothing. The fire, it is claimed, was discovered by John Rogers, who says he broke in the window and rescued the child after the Scott woman had escaped, and tried to rescue the Patton woman from the next room, but failed. James Valentine stated that Georgia Scott and his sister had a disagreement and that five minutes before the fire she purchased a gallon of oil and returned to her room. The child said that Georgia Scott sent her to the restaurant to get something to eat, and when she returned she became sleepy and was told by Georgia to lay down and go to sleep. Doing this she fell asleep, but was soon awakened by knocks on the window and screams in the room, then she saw that flames almost enveloped the adjoining room. After the fire it is said Georgia Scott went away and no one knew where she was Saturday night. DEATH OF MRS. EMILY E. WATKINS. On last Wednesday about six o'clock Mrs. Emily E. Watkins took violently ill, so much so that physicians were immediately summoned. They worked faithfully, but were unable to relieve her suffering. She died Friday evening at 6:30 o'clock as the result of an attack of what is said to have been cholera. The deceased was well known in Nashville, having been born and reared in this city. Mrs. Watkins was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George D. Watkins, of 1505 Wayne avenue and was one of nine children, of whom three survive her. Death came while she was residing with her parents. The deceased attended Carter school on Kayne avenue, and later was a student at Walden University. On June 10, 1889, she was married to John Overall of this city; three beautiful children were given them and these are left to mourn her loss. The deceased was a sister to Miss Georgia E. Watkins. The funeral services over the remains were held at the Lea Avenue Christian Church, Monday afternoon. They were solemn and impressive and were conducted by Rev. Preston Taylor, the pastor. A special choir of young ladies, personal friends of the family, furnished music for the services. The interment was made in the family lot at Greenwood Cemetery. While not a member of any secret organization the congregation had the appearance of such. The funeral was largely attended and general grief was noticeable at the church and in many homes where she was known. CHARGES OF GRAVE NATURE Charges of a very grave character were this morning preferred against Dr. E. E. Reisman, House Surgeon of the City Hospital, by Dr. M. C. McGahnon. The charges, which consume four pages of legal cap paper, were filed with the Board of Public Works at noon. In his charges Dr. McGannon alleges that on the 10th day of October he operated upon Addie Crockett, a negro woman sent to the City Hospital from Clarksville, being assisted in the operation by Dr. C. N. Cowden, the latter taking charge of the case after the operation. The patient's condition is declared to have been entirely satisfactory until the night of the 14th inst., when the patient complained of a burning sensation in her stomach, with other symptoms that attracted the attention of the nurse. The nurse it is stated, thereupon notified Dr. Boswell, who called in Dr. Reisman, who then assumed charges of the case. It is alleged that though Dr. Cowden daily visited the patient and gave orders for the treatment, he was never informed of the accident, nor were any of his orders carried out. On the 26th instant, it is stated, the patient's condition was such that Dr. Cowden became convinced that something was being hidden from him; that the patient reluctantly told him that she had been given the wrong medicine and been vomiting and unable to eat from that time. Dr. Boswell, the interne, when questioned, told Dr. Cowden that he must get his information from the house surgeon, Dr. Reisman. GIVEN OXALIC ACID. The next day, Dr. Reisman told Dr. Cowden that the patient had been given oxalic acid by mistake, but that she was getting along all right. That afternoon, it is alleged. Dr. Cowden found the patient in a dying condition: whereupon Dr. McGannon was called in and made an investigation, the details of which are set out in the charge set out in the communication to the Board of Public Works. It is stated that the records, charts and order books kept by the nurse falls to mention anything with regard to the mistake which is alleged to have made or the treatment subsequently given the patient. ORDERS NEVER CARRIED OUT. It is further charged that the orders given Dr. Reisman by Dr. Cowden were never carried out, the treatment from the time she had taken the poison up to the time of her death was not that he would have advised. Dr. Reisman is charged with grave infringement of the laws of the hospital for undertaking to treat a patient in the hospital without the sanction of the staff; that he was doubly culpable for alleged treatment of a private patient; that his conduct was unethical and contrary to the discipline of the institution, and that he authorized and continued the falsification of reports. The Board is requested to make a thorough investigation and deal with the matter as they may see fit. The document further states that allegations made herein were agreed to at a conference, after an investigation, between himself, Drs. Cowden, Reisman and Boswell. The communication states that a postmortem examination was held upon the body of the patient, who died Wednesday, and it is charged that the condition of the patient's organs showed that she had died as a result of the administration of a poison and death was due to that cause alone A GREAT RELIGIOUS WEEKLY. One of the greatest assets to the city of Nashville, known as it is to be one of the leading publishing centers in the United States, is its newspapers, both religious and secular. The leading religious journal in the United States printed and published by the race is the National Baptist Union, a sixteen-page weekly journal, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention. The paper has challenged the attention of all the admirers of clean, religious journalism. It has on its editorial staff some brilliant editors, the editor in chief being Rev. R. W. D. Isaac, D. D., who has associated with him a splendid corps of associate editors and contributors. The business department is managed by Rev. R. H. Boyd. The paper has made a specialty of dealing strictly with news of a national character. It should be read by every Baptist minister, Sunday-school superintendent and church worker who desire to be well posted or well informed. Since October 1st, the subscription price has been fixed at $1.50 per year, $1.00 for six months, $0.75 for three months. A request for specimen copies with five cents in postage stamps enclosed will receive prompt attention. Address all inquiry letters to the business manager R. H. Boyd, 523 Second avenue, North Nashville, Tenn. THE CWL'S WISDOM From the Philadelphia Bulletin "In a hollow tree, during my vacation, I found two young owls," said a student. "I also found in the same nest two eggs. Puzzled that the mother owl should have abandoned her setting ere its completion. I laid the matter before my farmer host. "The farmer told me that, country people know well that the owl, after hatching half her brood, leaves the other eggs to be hatched by the new born birds. These young are warm blooded, they are helpless to leave the nest, and nine cases out of ten the complete the hatch as well as the mother would have done. I'd consider this a superstition if I hadn't seen a proof of it." "OULD DEESTRICK SKULE." The Ould Deestrick Skule will be ably presented by the young people of the First Baptist Church on the 20th of this month. The presentation will be the best yet. Dr. J. P. Crawford is the efficient teacher. There will be many interesting and anusing reminiscences in the school. The two pairs of Honeysuckle twins will be drawing cards themselves --- Mr. J. W.

An extra large supply of these dolls has just been received, and if history repeats itself they will not last very long. Don't be late. Get your doll in time. Remember there are four different sizes. No girl is happier than when she has a beautiful doll. Collier's Weekly, one of the greatest weekly papers published in the United States, in speaking of these dolls, said: "There is more involved than appears on the surface in encouraging little Negro girls to clasp in their arms pretty copies of themselves. The white race dosen't monopolize all the beauty and lovableness, and it will be a happy day when this is realized." YOUR DOLL IS NOW READY. SPORT. FOOTBALL. Atlanta, Ga. October 34.—The "Tigers" of Baptist College played the second game of the season this afternoon with the City Y. M. C. A. The "Tigers" were greatly surprised when they found the city team so strong. In the first half the battle was hard and fierce; but in the last half the city boys grew weak, and the "Tigers" ran the score up to 27. The Marooner's goal was not even threatened at any stage of the game. The principle feature of the game was the hard tackling by the Y. M. C. A. The "Tigers," as usual, played great ball. For the Y. M. C. A., Franklin and Marion were easily the stars. It is always a hard job to pick A. B. C's stars. I think "Vic" Turner, the Huberts and Wade were the stars in this game. However, old "Sandy" Jackson, known to many as "Kid Sandy," played great ball and because of that I make special mention of him. The "Tigers" miss Dickson their old guard who is now playing with Meharry. Of course "Gene" Allen, a former member of the "Champs," and who is now at Howard University, will be ever remembered. Referee, Dr. R. H. Carter; Umpire Dr. A. D. Jones. A. B. C., 27; Y. M. C. A. 0. After a defeat by Franklin last Friday—6 to 0—in which Franklin was outclassed but won, the Tigers of Pearl High met the Walden Cubs and defeated them by a score of 5 to 0 Wednesday afternoon. Fifteen minute halves were played and it is due to this fact that the High school did not score another touchdown. During the first half after an exchange of punts and several rushes Pearl brought the ball to the middle of the field. Two more rushes a forward pass, and an end run put the ball inside of Walden's 5 yard line. Time for the half ended here with the ball in Pearl High's possession. During the second half by good punting and line rushes, the High School brought the ball to Walden's 25 yard line. Here Allison got around Bass's end and had clear field ahead, but after running fifteen yards stumbled and fell. The High School then made two efforts to crush the Walden line and failed. On the third play a neat for THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1908. ward pass from Hurt to Upshaw enabled the latter player to cross the goal for a touchdown as time for the half ended. Hurt failed to kick goal. The Pearl School line worked in the same magnificent manner that it has in every game of the year and the back field was there with the goods all the time. The High School was especially weak in handling punts in the back field, and plunging the line with the players a little too high. With the faults remedied, the High School will be able to make all teams of its class hustle. In this game Walden was entirely on the defensive and seemed to be out classed. The line-up follows:— Pearl. Walden. Upshaw L E. Dill Summers. L T. Whittaker. L G. Anderson. C Bibb Caldwell. R C. Duncan R T. Maclin Carey, Allison R E. Morrow Leach Q. Trice Hurt. L H B.

"Work, work, work!" and "unending toil" seem to be the watchword of the Fisk squad. Nothing is being trusted to chance, for the men have had it beaten into them by ceaseless work and suggestions that fail "is on the side of the heaviest batallions" and that the heaviest batallion is made not by avoirdupois, not by the process of any individual man, but by a deadly, accuracy and absolute precision in every little detail of the game; by careful and untiring drill in the machine like operation of eleven men, links of the same chain and that chain is no stronger than its weakest link. The "changing sled," "tackling dimmy" and other little devices are not soared their share of making up in welding the individual links for their greatest efficiency in this chain. and The students wear the "smile that or wont come off" now that Smith, the AND GET YOUR has just been received, at your doll in time. Ren- a beautiful doll. at weekly papers publishe volved than appears on the ties of themselves. The a happy day when this left tackle is on the field again. Like most of the rest of the squad Smith is in the game all the time. The team as a whole is light but fast and as plucky as they make them. Aside from the handicap in weight which is regarded very slight, the boys have a few injuries. King, the mighty left half, seems to be out of the game for the season with a bad shoulder. Upshaw, Fisk's great booter and right half has a slight leg soreness which is puzzling, while McMillan, tackle and Jackson, end, all on the right side of line, are at present reminded that they have legs by minor injuries. All will be around perhaps by the Baptist College game on the 14 of November. Clarke, end and veritable adamant of last year, will be shifted from full to left half, while Thompson, one of the greatest toe managers on the checker board of today, is expected to don his armor and do battle for Fisk at full. Warner, McKissack, and Booker Washington are bubbling over with energy and desire to mus up their togs on some big half back. In fact, the whole squad, including some rugged but unseasoned scrubs, are anxious to do service under Capt. Stith, ap pointed to take charge in the place of King. If no new injuries result from practice, the people of Nashville can expect one of the hardest battles ever ushered on the field by the passing of the sun into the western sky. We have a tough proposition and we know it, because Baptist College is without doubt the strongest team west of the mountains, and you may well search their record for clean football. There is sure to be "something doing" on Bennet Field. Tuskegee Defeats State Normal. Special to the Globe. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 3.—The schools in this district are as interested in football as ever and it would seem from some of the contests played each one is represented by a strong team. Last Saturday, October 31, the boys of the State Normal School, of this city, stacked up against the husky representatives of Tuskegee. Concerning the game Dr. W. F. Watkins, who will be remembered by students of football lore as the famous "Watt" of Meharry, one of the best quarters ever turned out by that In the Room Gosserd , and if history repeats remember there are four named in the United State the surface in encourag e white race dosen't m is realized." school, had the following to say to the Globe correspondent: "It was one of the cleanest and hardest fought games I have ever witnessed. Both teams were keyed to the highest pitch and played their best. The teams were about evenly matched. The first half the State Normal played in Tuskegee's territory and it looked as though a touchdown would be made as Tuskegee's goal was repeat edly threatened. "In the second half, State Normal fumbled a punt and this enabled Tuskegee to get near their goal and with only one minute to play Tuskegee executed a beautiful pass. In the next play Tuskegee carried the ball over for a touchdown. The game ended 5-0. Tuskegee having failed to kick goal. The Normal boys were highly entertained by the Tuskegeeans and though the city boys lost, it was in such a hard fought conest that they can feel honored by the fight they made." Tuskegee is to meet the strong Atlanta Baptist College team on the fourteenth of the month. The game to be played Saturday, Meharry vs. Talladega, will no doubt be a good one as both teams are strong and confident of victory. Talladega comes with a long string of scalps dangling from her belt, and is very anxious to take the coming game from Meharry. This would add prestige to the team. Meharry, on the other hand, is compelled to take this game to hold her place in the football world as one of the strongest teams in the country. If all reports are true, she will have the time of her life to down the boys from Alabama. The team comes well drilled in the new game, and with as fast a set of backs as she has ever had; in short, nothing has been left undone to make the team a good one. Meharry will have to play some good hard football to win. There seems to be plenty doing on Bennett Field. Every day Coach Giles has his boys out early carrying them through a stiff practice, and they seem to be rounding into fairly good shape. His back field is giving him considerable trouble. He will have to develop a new man to fill the place left open by King, as it is hardly likely he will be able to play again this season. To fill his place will be no easy job, for he was by far the best man *** ts itself they will ur different sizes. tes, in speaking of aging little Negro monopolize all the on the team, and to be without his help in the game is a big blow to the team. We are hoping, though, that he will soon recover, and that the public will again have a chance to see the big boy in harness. Despite the fact that Coach Giles has only light material on hand with which to work, he will have a wonderful team. And when they play the A. B. C. boys on the 14th, they will present an aggregation that will be hard to down. While the boys are light they are also fast and, above all, they have that old Flisk spirit that will keep them fighting until the last The Globe man was out several days ago to look at the team in motion. While they are a bit light they have speed to burn, and it is safe to say Fisk has never had a faster team. Coach Giles has also given some attention to the forward pass, and it is a common thing to see some of the boys throw the ball from ten to fifty yards. Fisk will play her first varsity game on November 14; and until then it will be hard to get a line on the team. But there is no doubt but that she will be strong, and that Fisk will still be in the running. WATERPROOFING MATCHES. Simple Method That May Be of Use to Campers. (From the Scientific American.) Perhaps some of your readers would be interested to know that I have found a simple, inexpensive way to waterproof matches. Into some melted paraffin (care being taken that it was as cool as possible) I dipped a few ordinary parlor matches. After withdrawing them and allowing them to cool it was found that they scratched almost as easily as before being coated with the wax. Several were held under water for six or seven hours and all of them lighted as easily as before immersion. When the match is scratched the paraffine is first rubbed off and the match lights in the usual way. Matches treated as above would be very useful on camping or canoeing trips, as they do not absorb moisture. Since more rubbing is required to light them than the ordinary match it would be practically impossible to set them on fire by accidental dropping.
