THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. THE LEGISLATURE NEGLIGENT ALONG THIS LINE—TAXPAYERS COMPELLED TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO OTHER STATES FOR INDUSTRIAL TRAINING — DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES LARGELY DEPENDENT UPON NEGRO LABOR. The need that seems to be uppermost in the minds of the thinking Negroes of the State of Tennessee at this time is industrial education. Nashville is the recognized Athens of the South, and the State of Tennessee is fairly well dotted with academies, normal colleges and universities, but there is not a single school in the State for Negroes that is distinctively an industrial institution. It is an indisputable fact that the Federal Government appropriates several thousand dollars annually to this commonwealth for industrial education, and the law specifically states that in the States where co-education is prohibited by statute that the appropriations shall be equally divided. Other states are taking advantage of these appropriations and as a result they have magnificent institutions that are doing great good toward making the Negro youth a help to the communities where they live rather than a burden. They are even going a step farther and supplementing what is received from the Federal Government with annual appropriations by the states. Tennessee is away behind her sister states in this respect. The Negroes feel that they are largely to blame for the condition of affairs as they now exist. They have put great stress on the opportunity afforded for higher education, but have allowed the primary interest to lag, and as a result the Negro youth of other Southern states are outstripping the black sons of the Volunteer State in the commercial world, and as scientific laborers. They have learned in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and other states the value of the soil. They are also learning that every man is responsible for the welfare of the community in which he lives. They have further learned that if a farmer would be prosperous he cannot be so by working only while the leaves are green on the trees, but that every day must count for itself; that there is as much to be done on the farm in January as there is in July. The Negroes of Tennessee are awakening to this fact, and while they do not feel that they have a single institution for higher learning that they do not need and that they are not justly entitled to, but as citizens they know they are entitled to their portion of the fund set aside by the Federal Government, as well as that appropriated from time to time by the state as supplementary to the Government fund. ar s e e e s n e e l e e l t t s n e e y n t t s e e y e e d e t o o e s o m and ly ax. for m ar- ch be ing are. to to ch to op- It is acknowledged by the foremost thinkers in the world that the masses need first that kind of education that will fit them for the duties that come to every one, and they style that kind industrial education, or in other words, the people need to know how to work consistently. They need to be taught how necessary it is to keep an appointment, whether it is to shut a man's gate at a certain hour every day or to pay a bill of a thousand dollars; that leaving the gate open may be the cause of more than a thousand dollars' worth of property being destroyed; that if a man knows how to be industrious he is welcome in any community. In passing the little stations on any railroad in the South one will see at nearly every stop from five to fifty Negroes, mostly young men, standing around to see the train pass and to say "howdy" to some friend who they think may be on that train. The time consumed in this way could be profitably spent otherwise, but the NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908 trouble is these people have not been taught how to utilize their spare time. Most of them can read and write, but having nothing special to write, they spend the time going to the stations to see the train. The result is the habit of idling grows with them, and idleness breeds crime, and criminals are burdensome to the state, the county and the municipality. An industrial and mechanical college, such as Tennessee ought to have, would go a long way toward reducing this class to a minimum. Thousands of young men who do nothing practically now would be taught thrift and industry, and instead of a floating element the state would have a citizenship that would add to its productiveness and thereby lessen the burden per capita. Prof. Henry S. Pritchett, discussing the subject of industrial education before the Eleventh Conference for Education in the South, which convened in Memphis, Tenn., April last, had the following to say in regard to the Indian and the Negro: "There are prehaps only two classes of our citizenship who have a right to call on the general government to aid in their education, and these are they who by the very nature of their presence among us are the wards of the government: the Indians, whose condition is not wholly of their own making, and the brother in black, who came to our country not entirely with his own consent. "Sensible men to-day, whether south or north of Mason and Dixon's line, recognize that that act of legislation which placed the unlimited franchise in the hands of the Negro, was one of the greatest political blunders of which any country has ever been guilty. Perhaps there was only one greater in all our own political history, the blunder of secession. Today we realize that the consequences of reconstruction legislation has imposed upon the Southern States a burden not entirely of their own making, a burden which is national rather than local or sectional. It would seem to me that for these two groups of our population there may be some ground for invoking the aid of the national government; but I believe primarily that for any great State of the Union the road to progress along industrial training lies along the same path by which we have traveled in the development of our other educational institutions. It lies in arousing the civic conscience, the civic pride and the civic responsibility of the State; and as fast as that pride, that conscience, that wisdom is evoked there will come in any State, in any territory, such institutions as look to the betterment, the improvement and the happiness of its citizens. "It seems to me clear that the obligation to provide these schools is going to be as real, as unanswerable, as unaviodable as has been the obligation to provide colleges and high schools and grammar schools; and I believe this to be true because it is only by such schools that we shall be able to train the individual citizen so as to make him an effective unit in our commonwealth. For national efficiency it is going to be necessary that men and women shall be not only morally efficient, not only intellectually efficient, but they must be economically efficient. A nation is efficient only as are the individual units making up that efficiency, and if we are to be a nation efficient in the truest sense, it will be by making every citizen of our country a unit morally, intellectually, economically efficient. We shall succeed in doing that in such proportion as we provide for them schools wisely, honestly, sincerely conducted." It will be seen from the extract quoted that not only the Negroes of Tennessee are interested in this question, but the whole country is awakening to the pressing need of training the hands as well as the mind. They have learned that a trained mind without a trained hand is like a ship without a rudder or steam raised in a boiler without a valve. And since it is acknowledged that all people need this special training, it is doubly so in the case of a people who are surrounded by the peculiar conditions that confront the youth of the Negroes of the United States; and those of Tennessee are clamoring for their just dues along that line with the hope that their efforts will yield much fruit. CATCHES A POSSUM. Last Saturday Miss Julia H. Williams, who has been spending several days at the home of the Misses Compton, of Hillsboro road, had the pleasure of catching the largest possum that has been caught this season in that vicinity. BRILLIANT SUN- RISE NUPTIALS Of Miss C.M. Bryant And Dr. C.H. Johnson. REV. G. L. JACKSON PERFORMS THE SAGRED CEREMONY. HOST OF FRIENDS WITNESS WEDDING—HOUSE PROFUSELY DECORATED—MEMBERS OF H. T. G. M. PRESENT — MANY BLESSINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS SHOWERED UPON THE HAPPY YOUNG COUPLE— GROOM GRADUATE OF MEHARRY. At 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, November 10th, amid myriads of ferns, palms, banks of roses, and in the presence of a host of intimate friends, among which was conspicuous the members of the H. T. G. M. Club, with most of the lady teachers of the public school, who by special arrangements were present, surrounded by relatives, and under circumstances that were extremely inviting, Dr Charles H. Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., and Miss Caroline Mildred Bryant, of this city, were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. L. Jackson, D. D., presiding elder of the South Nashville District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It was a beautiful home wedding, and although performed at an unusually early hour of the morning, it only tended to bring together the select friends of the contracting parties. Dr. Johnson, the groom, entered the spacious parlor from the hallway entrance, wearing a black Prince Albert suit closely buttoned, with Mrs. Arthur G. Price, the matron of honor, who wore white silk and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Miss Bryant descended the stairway, under a bright light shed by the gas burners, leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Ira T. Bryant. She wore a white lingerie and a bridal veil with lilies of the velley, caught up with a pearly pin. She carried, a bouquet of white carnations. They passed through the dining-room between a wall of friends on each side and meandered their way through the dining-room entrance into the front parlor where stood Dr. Johnson, the groom, the matron of honor, and Rev. Dr. Jackson. In all the loveliness of the early morning, they presented a picture that will be long remembered. They dleded their faith to each other, accounting a marriage vow given by this divine who in a simple, yet impressive ceremony, pronounced them man and wife, with "What God hath deined together, let not man put asunder," and with a fervent prayer for a long, happy, useful life, he pronounced the benediction. Miss Mabel Scott presided at the piano, playing Mendelssohn's Wedding March as the bridal party entered. There was a stillness which was only broken by the deep breathing and the distinct tone of the minister while the wedding ceremony was being performed. But immediately afterwards Miss Scott played beautifully an instrumental piece that was befitting the occasion, while the friends, showered congratulations upon the newly-married couple. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. M. E. Bryant, who is well and favorably known both in Alabama and Tennessee. She is the sister of Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the new secretary of the A. M. E. Church Sunday-School Union. Dr. M. E. Bryant, of Chicago, and Dr. Theodore Bryant, of Houston, Tex. She is a graduate of the city high school and has been a teacher in the city schools. The groom is well and favorably known in Nashville, having attended Meharry Medical College from which he graduated with the class of 1907 with high honors. He is now practicing in Atlanta, Ga. Dr. and Mrs. Johnson were the recipients of a large number of useful and valuable presents. There was served in the dining-room a lovely collation breakfast, consisting of fruit salads, black coffee, chicken croquettes, hot rolls, cheese straws and mints. The bride and groom received from 7 to 9 a. m., leaving on the N. C. & St. L. Railroad at 9:30 a. m. for Atlanta, Ga., where they will be at home at 184 S. McDaniel street. Many friends accompanied them to the station. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 11.—Dr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Johnson, the bride and groom who were married in Nashville, Tenn., yesterday morning, arrived in this city last evening. They were met by a select party of friends who welcomed them in real style. Dr. Johnson is prominent in this city, ranking with the professional men, being thoroughly identified with the interests of Atlanta. They were entertained here at a breakfast and to a dinner, winding up with a banquet this evening which, while strictly select, was a brilliant affair in the social world. WEDDING. Miss Lula Emma, the sister of John Lorenzo Love, of Washington, D. C., was united in holy wedlock to Dr. James Francis Lawson on Saturday, November 7, 1908, in the city of Washington, D. C. The contracting parties were both prominent young people. They will be at home after November 22nd, at 308 East Third street, Plainfield N. J. WM. A. CROSTHWAIT TO REPRESENT TENNESSEE. Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, in looking for a man to represent this state at the national colored fair to be held in Mobile, Ala., in 1909, which will run through the months of October, November and December, decided upon one of Nashville's sons. The following correspondence is self-explanatory: "Executive Chamber, State of Tennessee, Nashville, Oct. 6, 1908.—William A. Crostowhait, Nashville, Tenn.—Dear Sir: I hereby appoint you a delegate to represent the State of Tennessee at the National Negro Fair Association at Mobile, Ala. Very truly yours, "MALCOLM R. PATTERSON, "Governor." "Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6, 1908.—His Excellency, Malcolm R. Patterson, Governor of the State of Tennessee.—Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor under date of the 6th ult., appointing me a delegate to represent the State of Tennessee at the National Negro Fair Association, reached my office while I was out of the city. "After due deliberation I have decided that our great state ought to be represented at this fair, which is to be held in Mobile during October, November and December, 1909, especially since twenty-five other Governors have appointed commissioners to represent their various States at said fair. "I understand that Negroes of Tennessee own some 36,000 farms. Many of these farmers are experts in fine stock, cattle and poultry breeding, and in fruit and vegetable growing. If these can be induced to exhibit their products at such fairs, the backward element will be stimulated to do more than eke out a mere living, and thus become a valuable asset to the State. "We have in Tennessee the largest and best equipped publishing houses owned and manned by Negroes of any State in the Union. Some of them publish literature and music that are entirely the product of Negro talent. An exhibit can be had from these publishers that would be at once unique and highly creditable." "The schools of the State, ranging all the way from primary grades to the complete college course, can make such a showing as would be pleasing to the most fastidious mind. "We have needle workers, mechanics, builders, inventors, architects and artists who would be delighted to contribute their portion to enhance the just fame of our beloved State. "With these and other groups working in full accord to spread abroad the glory of Tennessee's resources, nothing could more certainly inspire local patriotism, and moral and spiritual growth. "Born, reared and educated in Tennessee, I ask no higher honor than the privilege of uniting with her sons in lifting her to the pinnacle of earthly achievement. "In accepting this great honor, I not only crave but confidently expect the support of every loyal citizen of our beloved State. Very faithfully yours, "WILLIAM A. CROSTHWAIT." Miss Miranda Winter has returned to her work at Tuskegee, having spent several days with her sick father, who at this writing, is reported some better. PEDESTRIANS CANNOT PASS ON THE SIDEWALKS—PUBLIC NUISANCE IN HEART OF CITY TEAMS AND STREET CARS COMPELLED TO STOP FOR CROWDS TO DISPERSE - OFFENSIVE ODORS STIFLE PASSERS - CITY HEALTH OFFICER NEEDS TO TAKE NOTICE. All cities and communities have their bad element of citizenry. It has always been so from time immemorial and probably always will be so to the end of time. And it is equally true that from the time of the semblance of a law being established it has been the business of executors of the same to correct the evils of the people. The day has never been when any country or local government felt that there was no further need for the executor of law, but instead more laws have been made from time to time in the effort to better protect the people who would be peaceable. It is an acknowledged fact, however, that no law is of benefit to the people unless it is enforced. The contention of many is that the American people, or rather that portion of North America designated as the United States, has enough if not too many laws, and that the need of the hour is officials who will enforce the laws already enacted. This seems to be the trouble to a degree with the city of Nashville There are in this city places that are public nuisances. Some of these places are right in the heart of the city. One only has to pass through Third avenue between Capitol avenue and the Public Square to be thoroughly convinced that the element who frequent that vicinity need an application of the law. Every afternoon, and especially on Saturdays, a crowd congregates in and around the saloons and eating houses that completely blocks the streets. Men and women, boys and girls, the thoughtless old and the inexperienced young, congregated on the sidewalks and in the streets and crowding in the saloons and eating houses, drinking, carousing and carrying on all kinds of antics. For hours and hours they stand around these dives, and no one utters a word. Policemen elbow their way through the crowd and go on satisfied to be let alone. So unmolested they go on in their unseemly manners. Men draw their wages on Saturday and drift into this mob and there drink up their earnings while in many cases their families are suffering for the necessities of life. Young women are led to destruction. Girls of tender years are allowed to frequent these dives and are there started on the road to destruction. No city in the country has a worse spectacle. To add to the vulgarness of the scene, peddlers are allowed to load up with tainty meats and rotten fish and back their wagons up to the sidewalks on Saturday and swindle the unsuspecting. Wagon-load after wagon-load of meat that has often been fly-blown, and fish that will smell before it has been out of the wagon ten minutes, and this, too, in less than a hundred yards of the city market. Thousands of lives are ruined every year by the existence of these joints, a public menace that goes on without molestation. Several crimes have been committed in these dives, often resulting in death. Only a few weeks ago two fatal tragedies occurred in this vicinity. The lives of two young men were sniffed out in a single night. It is dangerous to pass through that section of the city, and especially is this true of ladies, and yet these dens of vice are on one of the most prominent street in the city. The public is suffering as the result of negligence on the part of the city officials, and boys and girls who thrown out upon a cruel fate in vice and criminality OUT OF TOWN NOTES.

He called forth a storm of applause when he announced that he would donate a two-seated trap and fifty dollars worth of books to Turner Normal College. The address of Dr. J. A. Jones, President of Turner Normal College, was instructive and inspiring. It showed that the institution had advanced in material wealth by several thousand dollars since his incumbency, beginning three years ago. The conference donated a double-action force pump to the college, to be used in the well which is one hundred feet deep. President Jones has recently returned from Paris, Tenn., the seat of the West Tennessee Conference. He reports that much interest is being taken in Turner College by the West Tennessee people.

THANKSGIVING AT LANE COLLEGE. Jackson, Tenn., Nov 10.—The greatest preparations that are being made in this city for Thanksgiving are under way at the Lane College. It seems that the attention of the city is being directed that way. The occasion will be the dedication of the girls' new hall, a building recently added to the already well arranged group of buildings on the campus. The dedicatory services promise to be the most notable occasion in the history of Jackson. They will take place at 10 o'clock, Thanksgiving morning, November 26. The Thanksgiving sermon, which will no doubt be an important feature of the dedication, will be preached by Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn. President Lane selected Dr. Searcy as a true representative of West Tennessee. Another feature of the day will be the football game scheduled to be played at 3:15 on the college athletic field. A fitting close will be a banquet in the new college dining-room at 8:00 o'clock, p. m. More than a thousand invitations will be sent to all parts of the state and a number of leading ministers of the C. M. E. Church are expected to be present. ALLEN LEAGUE SECRETARY. On Tuesday of this week the General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor, an organization of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, spent the day in the city. It was the new secretary. Rev. Julian C. Caldwell, D. D., who succeeded the Rev. Dr. Gregg. His headquarters are in Kansas City, Mo., but rumor had it that he was looking towards Nashville.

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 doesn't monopolize all the beauty and lovableness, and it will be a happy day when this is realized." DOLL FACTORY NASHVILLE. Negro Men at the Head and Originators of an Enterprise Meaning Much to This City. In the Nashville American of this city said in its issue of Sunday, November 8, that "In this city can be found about as large a per cent of Negroes according to population as in any other in the Southland. They are not simply here without purpose, occupation or business. While they are at work enjoying the pursuit of liberty and happiness together with their schools they have business enterprises that are growing, and that now seem to be commensurate with their educational advantages. Possibly the Nashville Negroes have more of an international reputation than those of any other city; this is brought about from more than one cause. The latest development among the Negroes of this city is the Negro Doll Idea which has put them before the civilized world. A factory is to be located here where thirty-five thousand members of the race reside, and I they will give it their support. Here, as a denominational centre, it will no doubt enjoy a greater amount of prosperity than if located elsewhere. 'A Negro Doll Factory for Greater Nashville,' is the slogan among the people. "The originators of this great enterprise that has turned millions of eyes of the descendants of Ham towards Greater Nashville are Rev. R. H. Boyd and his associates. Dr. Boyd, who is at present at the head of the National Baptist Publishing Board, a Negro concern that is already, known all over the world, a business enterprise that has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to this city, a plant that is the pride of two million five hundred thousand Negro Baptists. Rev. Boyd declares that the Negroes will support such an enterprise just as they are supporting their churches, their publishing houses and their families. He stated that since the Negro Doll Idea had been indorsed by the National Baptist Convention at Lexington, Kv., the news had spread all over the United States, and people are writing for prices, information, and the article itself—the Negro doll. "The Negro doll is a reality. and it is on exhibition at three distinct places in the city and will bring thousands of dollars to Nashville. The THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908. Negroes are surprising themselves in the way in which they are taking to this new fad. The toy itself will be supplied by the Negro Doll Company, a local firm under the management of Nashville Negroes. A beautiful characteristic of this new enterprise is that it is not a denominational affair. There is no religion connected with it. The Negroes of Nashville have in this one instance dispensed with their religious ideas. They are supporting this solidly as a race. The manager of the Negro Doll Company, H. A. Boyd, said yesterday to an American reporter that it was surprising to see orders coming from Tacoma and Seattle, Washington, Pennsylvania, California. Illinois and Massachusetts as fast as they are coming from any of the extreme Southern cities. Mound Bayou, Miss., a Negro town, has so far sent in the largest order to the factory. All in all, the Negro Doll Company will mean that Nashville has added another international enterprise. It means the employment of hundreds of Negroes and the advancement of Nashville in many lands. No doubt but that the Board of Trade and Nashville in general will welcome a new factory and a new enterprise that is calculated to add so much to the city. Negro organizations, religious and secular, fraternal and social, over the country, are indorsing and pledging their support. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Illinois led off, and then followed the State Convention of Illinois, and so on down to Florida, a according to reports reaching this city." SIX O'CLOCK DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Thorne entertained at dinner last Sunday Messrs. Newman Sykes of Decatur, Ala., and A. Stith of Chicago.

William Lawrence was born and reared here in Nashville, where he spent most of his life in the moral and religious development of his people. He professed religion when a mere boy and joined the Christian Church. As he grew strong in his religious convictions he felt a call to the ministry, and preached the Gosfor many years. He was twice married, both of his wives preceded him to that beautiful land of rest and were amongst the millions of angels to welcome him home last Saturday morning, when the weary wheel of life stood still, and his spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. To his first happy marriage five children were born. They have all gone to rest. Three grand children and four great grand children survive him. These are the offspring of his oldest daughter, Mrs. Martha Porterfield. Mr. Charles Lawrence, with whom he lived, and in whose home he died, is the son of his second wife, Mrs. Lucretia Lawrence, who was one of the most famous cooks of Nashville. Rev. Mr. Lawrence was a true race man and labored constantly to unite our people. He belonged to several societies and was always present at their meetings to encourage and cheer the members in their work. He was among the first to organize Negro societies. He was the last of founders of the Sons of Relief and Daughters of Relief and Ladies Benevolent Society. These societies will miss him. The church with which he was connected, and to which he was intensely devoted will miss him. Mr. Lawrence was a public-spirited citizen and took a deep interest in all public men and public affairs. Though blind for many years, he was well informed and knew well the men and times in which he lived. He was a carpenter by trade and served this trade till blind and unable to see the tools and materials with which he worked. He was a devoted friend, a safe counsellor and a true Christian gentleman. Rev. William Lawrence was the highest type of God's noblemen. Let the present generation produce many of his kind. He has heard the welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few --- THE BALLET , and if history repea remember there are fo hed in the United Sta the surface in encour e white race dosen't r is realized." history repeats itself they will there are four different sizes.

The Tampa Times in an editorial on the commercial discovery of a new kind of orange on account of the medicinal yalue of the rind in malarl- al diseases makes a suggestion: “This is remindful of the orange leat tea used by the housewives of Florida in the earlier days as a corrective for malaria. There is no doubt of its excellence as a tonic, and it is quite possible that the rind of the sour and wild oranges might be made useful along the same line. Tea made from the fresh leaves of orange sprouts is of most excellent effect as a tonic and auti-periodic, and steps ought to be taken to provide supplies of it for the public.” Those who have once experienced (he benefit of this old- ‘time household remedy are aware of ‘its value.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908. EQUAL TO THE OCCASION, Mrs, Lula Boyd-Landers, Editor of the Concert Quarterly, Prepares a Special Cantata for Christmas in Which Negro Dolls eke Loading: Sale. 24 It has been said from time to time that the different departments of the National Baptist Publishing Board are not only competent in their work, but they are equal to the occasion at all times, ‘Whether this be true or not, indicaiions point that way. ‘They seem to have met every con: dition and found a ready solution to the most perplexing problems in the religious or denominational world. As a proof of this, tne editor of the Concert Quarterly, a program printed four times a year, namely, Baster, ‘Children’s Day, Bible Day and ‘Christmas, has brought this pe- riodical up to a very high stand- ard, and it has been the cus- tom of the editor to give the Sun- day-schools each quarier something new, something interasting and some- thing that will prove attractive to the pupils. She has been very careful to feel the pulse of the masses and in this way determine on what is best. Her latest and no doubt her most hap. py hit is a cantata coming out as a Christmas program known as_ the Negro Doll's Christmas.” She seems to have gathered her inspiration to write this cantata from the agitation and the deep interest in Negro dolls. This program not only contains the dialogue, in which the Negro dolls take the leading role, but it has spicy, new songs, composed, set to music and arranged, by Negro authors. The recitations, declamations with the other additions make this one of the greatest programs ever prepared, Dr. Boyd says that the 18 or 20 thousand Negro Bapiist Sunday-schools throughout the country will not miss the opportunity to send in their or- ders early. Every Sunday-school can have some of the programs. The prices are 35 cents a dozen, $3.00 a hundred, All orders should be sent to the National Baptist Publishing Board, No 523 Second avenue, North, ‘Nashville, Tenn. Those desiring them should not wait until a week before Christmas to order. They should send in their orders at once. * MEHARRY NOTES. Bishop I.

HOLDS CROWN FOR ONE YEAR There was quite a deal of interest manifested in the Sunday-school at St. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday, which was on account of the quarterly rally that had been advertised to take place. The Sunday-school is an unusually large one. The enrollment to date is 470, but the special interest of last Sunday was a race for the gold crown between the classes. It was early in January this year when the crown rally was inaugurated. The class raising the largest amount of money was to have the gold crown for their teacher. Class No. 16 was victorious. On the second quarter of the year another rally was held for the crown, which was won by No. 3. The third quarter the same thing happened, Class No. 16 won. The other classes had determined to win the crown the fourth quarter. To last Sunday the interest was at high pitch. After the collection was reported it was found that Class No. 14 had collected only $8.76, while Class No. 16 had collected $12.36. Hence No. 16 had the crown for another three months, making one year in all. Class No. 14 is the Baraca class No. 16 is the Philathia. This class has ordered four dozed beautiful gold pins which they will wear in the future. The silver crown, which is offered for the largest collection in the primary department, was won by Class No. 5, Mr. L. S. Gray, teacher. The collection for the entire day amounted to $28.00 and some cents. Quite a number of visitors were present. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908 MARRIAGES DEATHS. 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. E. 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 costed 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.

He ran neck and neck with William H. Taft and won out in a walk. The plurality ranged as high as 2,500. He is pronounced to be one of the most prominent men in the district. REV. A. BROOKS PREACHES TO LARGE CROWDS AT ST: JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The services at St. John A. M. E. Church last Sabbath were well attended all day. The weather was ideal in many respects, the only thing of which one might complain being the fact that the long drought had rendered it very dusty. But no one was heard to complain. The Sunday-school was well attended, an unusually large number being present. At 11 o'clock the church was almost crowded. Rev. Mr. Brooks preached a magnificent sermon and the members of the church seemed to enjoy it greatly. What was true of the morning services was also true of the Endeavor Society and the evening church services. The people of St. John are highly pleased with Rev. Brooks, their new pastor, and they express themselves as being hopeful of a very prosperous year from every point of view. BIRTHDAY PARTY.

(From the New Orleans Times-Democrat) "The only trouble about these wash gloves," said the lady, "is that they dry, after washing, so very stiff and boardlike." The salesman wrapped the soft, pale, yellow gloves in tissue paper. "That is easily remedied," he said. "Till tell you how to wash the gloves so that they will dry soft and pliable, the same as new. After you have rinsed them quite clean, dip them in a final bath of fresh water and rub plenty of soap into them, drying them without rinsing this last soap out. The soap left in the gloves makes them wonderfully soft—they don't then need after drying, to be rubbed soft with ten or fifteen minutes hard labor. This soap secret being used, wash gloves are quite perfect. It is no wonder they are completely superseding the expensive kid gloves, for they are half as cheap again and their washing is so easy—do them at bedtime, toss them on the radiator and in the morning they are ready to put on. 10-YEAR-OLD MURDERER Boy Who Slew White Woman Sent Up for Life. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 11—Solomon Reilly, 10 years old and small for his age, was yesterday convicted and given a life sentence for the murder of Mrs. Walter Torrence, at Pooler, near this city. Mrs. Torrence, for whom the boy had been working, charged him, and the following day he secured a shotgun, returned to her home and shot her, killing her instantly. The boy stated that he did the shooting because "she did not have any right to fire me." THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908.
