Nashville Globe

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. Indications Point to the Establishment of Many. SEVERAL CITIES NORTH AND SOUTH INCLUDED IN LIST. CHICAGO ALREADY IN THE PROCESSION—NEW YORK, BALTIMORE, BOSTON, ATLANTA, NEW ORLEANS AND MOBILE AMONG THE PROBABILITIES — THE NEGRO POPULATION IN THOSE CITIES VERY LARGE—ALSO ENGAGED IN BUSINESS ON LARGE SCALE—EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO LIST EVERY NEGRO INSTITUTION—SOME BANKS RETICENT IN GIVING INFORMATION. An effort will be made by the Globe to get an accurate statement of all the Negro banks and banking concerns doing business in the United States for 1908, up to and including December 31st. Quite a number of banks have been organized and opened since this year, and in order to properly keep the information before the readers of this paper, the same campaign will be inaugurated as was begun last January with the results shown in our bank directory. The entire Southland is variously blossoming as a rose with these financial institutions. The race is receiving two-fold benefits by their establishment and will, no doubt, have a double blessing ere long by their continual operation. There are now only a few cities of any importance in the United States, especially in the South, where Negro banks have not been established and all are doing a good business. Among the institutions opened this year was a Negro bank in Chicago, located at the corner of State and Thirty-sixth streets. Although not an institution of national reputation, it has moved along with the greatest possible success. Another was opened at Tampa, Fla., and it is reported that one is to be opened at Miami, Fla. But the most encouraging news in the financial world is the effort on foot to get a Negro bank in the following cities: New York, Baltimore, Boston, Atlanta and New Orleans. Mobile is also counted in the list. "It is hardly possible," said another well-informed gentleman, who traverses the whole country, "that another six months will come around and not find Negro banks being operated in the cities just mentioned. The most possible of them and, no doubt, the ones that are certain to get the banks, are the southern cities, those in the far south, like Atlanta, Ga., with its large Negro population, its many fraternal organizations, its schools and its Negro enterprises, or Mobile, with its scores of prominent men of the race, conducting great commercial enterprises, and where the population is almost equally divided and where almost real harmony exists between the races." In a conversation with two New Orleans men, namely, Rev. Simms, pastor of the Tulane Avenue Baptist Church, and Rev. Porter, it was learned definitely that plans are already on foot by which nine thousand Negroes in New Orleans, as well as those living in Algiers, Gretna and other suburbs, have about decided upon the date of opening their bank. The stock is almost ready to be put on the market. While no officers have been elected and no site selected for the location, it is understood that capital stock of $56,000.00 has been agreed upon. All in all, the record of Negro banks for the year 1908 is an improvement over that of 1967. None of the banks operated by Negroes, so far have suffered from the financial panic, and if the reports from all of them can be secured for the year 1908, it will show an enormous amount of money handled by the race. It is predicted that the clearance of the Negro banks of the United States will aggregate this year not less than five millions of dollars. There are some of the institutions operated on the highest order and yet, they have the misfortune of not giving out reports from time to time. This, to a certain extent, not NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908. only retards the business of the institution, but an accurate compiling of valuable information that the public is suffering for, which if given out, would awaken enough confidence to add millions more in clearance next year. The attempt now being made to get these reports for publishing, will be pushed with the usual earnestness on the part of the man in charge of the bank department. IN HONOR OF MISS SARGENT. Mrs. Dora Brown, of 415 Fourth avenue, South, entertained at dinner last Sunday in honor of Miss H. L. Sargent, of Columbia, Tenn. Those present were: Misses H. A. Howse, and Daisy Hall of Minneapolis, Minn.; Messrs. W. C. Childress, L. Williams, and L. H. Gilmore, of Columbia, Tenn. GOLORED FAIR. Meets in Columbia, S. C., Monday, November 9th, to Friday, November 13th, at State Fair Grounds. Columbia, Special.—The greatest event of the year was the Colored State Fair that was held at Columbia, S. C., the week of November 13th to 17th. The leading colored citizens of the State of every avocation in life have exerted their best talent and ability in making the event a tremendous success and a credit to the State and the race. An elaborate premium list was prepared and the farmers, the schools, the mechanics, the housewives—in fact every colored man or woman who is a producer of anything worth while brought their best to this splendid aggregation. The prizes offered were liberal and well worth competing for. The social feature was well emphasized. Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the South Carolina Colored State Fair Association, received notification of the granting of reduced rates to the fair. The Negroes sent many exhibits and the attendance very large. The officers of the fair association are as follows: President, Rev. Richard Carroll, Columbia; Vice president, Rev. C. R. Brown, D. D., Camden; secretary, R. W. Westberry, Horatio; treasurer, T. A. Williams, Newberry. Executive Committee: Superintendent and general manager, Z. E. Walker, Sumter; H. J. Corley, Irmo; Prof. J. L. Cain, Darlington; J. H. Goodwin, M. D., Weston; G. F. Holmes, Orangeburg; S. M. Perrin, Columbia. Excursion rates were granted for the Colored State Fair. Return tickets limit November 16. The handling of freight for the colored fair was governed by the same rules as applies to the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society. The State Colored Fair is an event that deserves the patronage of the entire colored population of the State. Every family seems to have been represented among the visitors. "OULD DEESTRICK SKULE." The "Ould Deestrick Skule," which will be presented at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, on Monday night, November 23, promises to be the best rendition ever given of that comical production. The school will have about thirty-five pupils made up into most interesting classes in grammar, geography, reading, etc. The exhibition at the last day of the school will be fittingly celebrated by singing, speaking and reading of compositions on such subjects as Cows, Kansas, Boys, "Wimmin's Rights." etc. Miss Nancy Perkins, who will represent Mrs. Honeysuckle, mother of the two pairs of Honeysuckle twins, will read some of her original poetry as a tribute to the "Deestrick Skule" Master. Everything will be presented in "Ould Deestrick Skule" style. The school-master, Dr. J. P. Crawford, who is an adept on paddle lore, will freely dispense that article. THE CATHAOM ART CLUB The Cathaom Art Club met at the home of Mrs. Jno. Battle, 930 Morrison street. Tuesday, November 17. The club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. Battle. The reception hall was beautifully decorated with fall flowers and ferns. After an hour of work the ladies were served a three-course luncheon. Mrs. Battle was assisted in receiving her guests by Mrs. Kelly. The next meeting will be at Mrs. Albert Brown's, Hamilton street and Tenth avenue, next Wednesday. Those to enjoy the occasion were Miss Lillie Rucker, Mesdames Jno. Battle, Kelly Geines, Wm. Rucker, Albert Brown, Knight, A. B. Berry, Moore, Jno. Keeble, Henry Haney and Richard Merrell. UNIVERSITIES WILL NOT HAVE SUCH HARD TIME IN FUTUYE. LARGE NUMBER OF YOUNG MEN TURNED OUT EACH SEASON FROM HIGH SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES—MARKED INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE ON PART OF BOYS AT THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS-DO NOT TIRE OF SCHOOL LIFE AS LONG AS THE ATHLETIC SPIRIT IS KEPT ALIVE—SPORTS SERVE A DOUBLE PURPOSE—TURNER NORMAL JOINS THE BRIGADE. Thousand of years ago the human family craved for amusements and sought to have them. They realized then as they do now that the young blood must be kept; that the young mind must be fed on lively and active thoughts. In ancient times foot racing was indulged in very freely. Young men trained hard and carefully for these events, as the winner of a foot race were liable at any time to receive recognition at the hands of the king. The ancients put great stress on these events, and no little to do was made about them. The spirit has grown on the people. Game upon game has been introduced, until to-day athletics is an important factor in every institution of learning. It would require a book of many pages to tell about the many kinds of sport that the boys and girls and the young men and women are allowed to indulge in in modern times. From the smallest country school to the largest university the spirit runs from the humblest student to the head of the institution. The colleges and high schools throughout the South are devoting more time to athletics now than has ever been known, and this is especially true of the institutions conducted for and by Negroes. Every public school opens up the fall with a football team and closes with a baseball team. And the high schools, academies, colleges and universities have their regular athletic schedules. The institutions of higher learning of course have their higher grades of athletics. In the East, where waterways are available, boat racing attracts wide-spread attention. Thousands of people swarm the banks of rivers or lakes to see the trained athletes try for supremacy, and it is hard to decide what class of sport has the greatest hold on the people, but in the South, and especially where there are no great waterways, it is conceded that football creates the greatest interest among the lovers of college athletics. The people join in as a mass and yell for one side or the other. In most cases they are not favoring any particular team, but are really enjoying the sport so long as no one gets hurt. The teachers and presidents of schools and colleges realize that it is very necessary to have athletics. In the first place the health of the student body demands it. Some of the leading and wealthiest institutions have been discussing the need of more general athletics in the school, so conducted that every student could get the benefit of the exercise which they must have to develop physical strength, and to keep the body in a healthy condition. They realize that it fits the students to do their study work as nothing else can, and many are of the opinion that match games ought to be done away with, and every student urged to take an active interest in personal physical development. But this has not been attempted yet by any institution and the people are still enjoying these spirited contests. The schools in and around Nashville are taking on new life in regard to football athletics. A few years ago only two institutions here had anything like a respectable football team, namely: Roger Williams and Fisk Universities. Later Meharry Medical College organized a team which has been merged with Walden University. But they all experienced the same trouble. When the members of the team would graduate there would not be sufficient material to fill up the gaps the ensuing year, due to the fact that there were no teams in the high schools and academies. But this condition of affairs is fast being overcome. In Nashville they have the Pearl High School team to draw from, which Prof. H. A. Cameron, the efficient coach, develops to a high standard every year. At Murfreesboro the Bradley Academy and other school in nearby towns are getting in the game. The latest school to come forward with a team is Turner Normal at Shelbyville, Teen. It is predicted that this school will in a few years become a factor in football athletics. They have their first trial Saurday, Nov. 21, against the Pearl High strong team, and being an unknown quantity the outcome is purely a matter of conjecture. HIS EYES ON NASHVILLE. Leading Chicago Photographer Considers This an Ideal Location Negroes Will Welcome His Advent. This city is to have a first-class photograph and art studio and it is to be opened in the near future. It will not be run on the order of any of the others now operated in the city. It is to be high-class and up-to-date in every respect. This news is not a fairy tale, it comes from a reliable source, being obtained from a business man of this city, who just returned from Chicago, where he was in conversation with the artist and photographer, who is none other than the celebrated Jones, of Chicago, Ill., and who has a magnificent photograph and art studio located on State, between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets. All Nashvillians who have been to Chicago have, no doubt, admired the life-like photographs in the studio, all the work of Mr. Jones. While he is doing an extensive work in Chicago and is looked upon as one of the leading photographers, it seems that his heart is turned back to Dixie, and in the words of the song, "I must go." At any rate, his reputation as a high-class artist is well known. For instance, in the last three photographic contests he walked off with the first prizes in each contest, which is no small amount of honor to be captured by a member of the race. Mr. Jones is a young man, full of ambition, race pride, and thoroughly competent. It is doubtful whether there is another photographer better able to cope with this new Negro idea than is Mr. Jones. Nashville offers the greatest inducement. While the Board of Trade, the Business League and the Business and Professional Men's League in this city are almost inactive, there is an assurance that can be seen and felt, that guarantees a welcome, a co-operation and hospitable reception to those who desire to come to this city to enter business and professional pursuits. At present there is no Negro photograph gallery in operation in the city. It was a great misfortune when the city lost Mr. Albert Sexton, who was running the Temple Studio, and was called back to St. Louis. He was a member of the firm of Sexton and Maxwell, and Nashville then lost the best that she had ever had in that line and the sudden closing of the studio run for a long time by J. J. Lay left the city without a place of this kind. There is now too much to be had in Nashville for a studio not to be in operation. The last census gives 35,000 Negroes in Nashville. This is augmented by about 1500 students in our Educational institutions and many others who are here practically all the year in business and professional lines. Thus, there is much work to be done, practically all of it would be given to the man that is competent and could give satisfaction. While no assurance can be given out about the location, it is known as before stated that this eminent artist has his eyes on Nashville. FREE DINNER FOR ORPHANS. FREE DINNER FOR ORPHANS. The Moral Industrial Training School Movement will celebrate its fifth anniversary Thanksgiving Day by spreading a free dinner for the orphan children and blind of the city at the Railroad Protective Building on Cedar street and Tenth avenue. Donations are earnestly asked for and the same may be left at 1214 Broad street. ELECTED AS REPRESENTATIVES. Revs. T. W. Haigler, A. Brooks and Wm. Flagg, and Mr. D. A. Hart have been elected to represent the Nashville District in the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bishop H. B. Parks in Chicago, Ill., January 16, 1909. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks will be in the number from the South Nashville District. Nashville will be well represented by these ecclesiastical lights. No.46 ALLEGED THREATS OF ONE WHITE MAN CAUSE EXODUS. JIM HOLDER, THE SUSPECTED WHITE MAN, LANDED IN JAIL J. M. ANDERSON, FOREMAN OF THE PHOSPHATE MINES, IS CERTAIN HE HAS RIGHT MAN NEGROES WORKING AT TOO LOW WAGES ATTRIBUTED AS THE CAUSE-$1.20 PER DAY NOT ADEQUATE-NOT JUST CAUSE, HOWEVER, FOR THREATS-MEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK UNMOLESTED. That Negro men are inclined in some sections of the state to take fright at imaginary visions and run from shadows is borne out by an account of an incident reported from Maury County. The following appeared in the Nashville American, Wednesday, November 18: Columbia, Tenn., Nov. 17.—Jim Holder, a white man, was arrested today by Deputy Sheriff Goad, near Scott's Mill, for making threats against J. M. Anderson, foreman of the Jones Phosphate Company, and also for making threats against negro laborers in the mines. The warrant was sworn out by Anderson before Squire J. H. Guest, and Anderson went before the grand jury, which is in session. Anderson says that the neighborhood is stirred up over the following notice posted at the works: "Mr. Anderson: You had better send your contractor back to town. Your niggers had better not load another wagon. If you do you will catch h—1." The trouble, according to Anderson, originated over the fact that they were working negroes in the mines at $1.20 per day. The negroes are leaving in droves. Anderson states that he was satisfied that Holder did the writing, from his actions, and that he knew the writing and spelling to be Holder's. Holder is in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. From the report as given out by the daily press it is shown that there is no cause for a general exodus by the men who were working for the phosphate company. No one had been hurt, and the alleged offender placed in jail. The owners of the mines showed that they were not going to stand idle and see their men butchered up by taking immediate steps to ferret out the guilty party or parties and turn them over to the county authorities. The Negro men were too quick to throw up their jobs and leave the company to do as best they could. They did not stop even to consider, if the report be true, how much they would cause the company to lose by their sudden departure. They did not even stop to consider that the man doing the work is obligated as well as the man having the work done. They showed themselves to be a lot of week-kneed fellows, not fit to be heads of families if any of them are. They are duty bound to suffer for the wife that they lead away from the protection of a father and the tender care of a mother, and to do that they cannot run from every apparent danger, and, in fact, must stand their ground in imminent danger. His duty is twofold and he ought to be impressed with that fact. Some Negro men will have to sacrifice their lives in the interest of law and order as well as other people. He is a part of the body politic and must share its sorrows if he would be worthy of any of its blessings. Everything was quiet around the mines at the last account. THANKSGIVING SOCIAL. Invitations have been sent out by the Algonquin Club to their annual social which will be given at the Odd Fellows' Auditorium on Thanksgiving night, November 26. The Algonquin Club has long been a fixture in the social affairs of the city and this year's effort will in all probability equal their former triumphs. It is expected that a number of out of town guests will be present. ‘Gredit at the Quatty Stere a EQUAL TO TAILGS-MALS | % Most people find it ha.d to g<t together ai one {V7 time the price of fist-class clothing.

The white race doesn't monopolize all the beauty and lovableness, and it will be a happy day when this is realized." TENDER THEIR RESIGNATION TO "BIG THREE." SEQUEL TO INVESTIGATION OF THE CHARGES AGAINST HOUSE SURGEON AT CITY HOSPITAL—EACH SENDS LETTER EXPLAINING HIS ACTION. By a vote of two to one, the Board of Public Works decided to close the Reisman case with a reprimand for the house surgeon and for the interne, Dr. Boswell, Saturday morning, George W. Stainback, the senior member of the Board, made a strong argument for discharging both physicians, using the strongest language in characterizing the episode. He offered a motion to this effect, and it was voted down. Capt. Alexander then offered a resolution calling for a reprimand to each of the physicians. Mr. Stainback voted against this resolution, stating that there was never a more butchered occurrence, and that the hospital management and the public had been deceived, and that a reprimand would do no good in such a case. The resolution offered by Capt. Alexander and voted for by C. Ross Handly and himself, was as follows: "In regard to the charges preferred by Dr. M. C. McGannon against Dr. E. E. Reisman, house surgeon at the City Hospital, I believe that Dr. McGannon did right, and acted in a strict sense of duty, in bringing this matter to the attention of our Board. After carefully going over all the evidence submitted, I am of the opinion that Dr. Reisman is in no way responsible for the mistake whereby oxalic acid was given to Addie Crockett in place of Epsom salts. The evidence shows that Dr. Reisman did everything in his power to relieve her, but I do believe that both Dr. Reisman and Dr. Boswell, the interne on the ward, were both guilty of violating the hospital law, section 986, by not reporting the matter to Dr. McGannon or Dr. Cowden. I, therefore, move that both Dr. Reisman and Dr. Boswell be summoned to appear before this Board and reprimanded for having failed to notify Dr. McGannon or Dr. Cowden of this unfortunate accident immediately after the same occurred. And, furthermore, that Dr. Reisman be notified that the Board of Public Works will hold him strictly accountable for the enforcement of all rules and laws pertaining to his duties as house surgeon at the hospital." This ends a case that has attracted widespread attention in the city. It will be remembered that a colored woman, a servant in the family of Col. Austin Peay, of Clarksville, was sent to the hospital and operated on by Dr. M. C. McGannon on Oct. 10. On Oct. 14, by mistake, a dose of oxalic acid was administered to the woman. This fact was not reported to Drs. McGannon and Cowden, who had charge of the case. Addie Crockett, the woman in question, died Oct. 28. Dr. McGannon two days afterwards preferred charges against Dr. Reisman before the Board of Public Works, and evidence was heard Friday, Nov. 6, and Monday, Nov. 9. Assistant City Attorney Ed J. Smith conducted the examination of witnesses on behalf of the Board, and Congressman-elect Joseph W. Byrns and Louis Leftwich represented Dr. Reisman. The Board has had the case under consideration since last Monday, the decision being rendered Saturday morning. Messrs. Alexander and Handly voted "No" on Mr. Stainback's motion to discharge both Dr. Reisman, the house surgeon, and Dr. Boswell, the interne on the ward where the woman was confined. Mr. Stainback voted "No" on Capt. Alexander's motion to dismiss the case with a reprimand. Both the young physicians will be called before the Board and the reprimand will be administered. No charges had been preferred against Dr. Boswell, but the evidence tended to show that it would have been his duty to have reported the matter unless ordered not to do so by his chief and the evidence upon this point was contradictory. Considerable feeling was shown in the hearing of the case, and one of the main reasons assigned THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908. by Dr. Reisman for not reporting the case was to the effect that Dr. McGannon had criticised the hospital and its management before, and he thought that he would do so again if given the opportunity. The resolution passed by the Board commends Dr. McGannon for having preferred the charges. Changing Hospital Management. It is probable that a bill providing for a change in the management of the City Hospital will be introduced at the next meeting of the City Council by Councilman El T. Sweeney, of the Twenty-second Ward, who was an interested listener at each of the hearings of the Reisman investigation. The bill will provide that the faculties of the rival medical colleges of the city shall have nothing to do with the selection of house surgeon or internes; that the superintendent shall be a physician; that the hospital shall be taken out from under the Board of Public Works and placed under the charge of the Board of Health, and that body shall have its offices in the hospital building. One of the biggest surprises in the City Hospital case since the initial sensation was first published in The American, came Wednesday afternoon, when letters were received by the Board of Public Works from both Dr. Reisman and Dr. Boswell refusing to take the reprimands to which they had been sentenced, and tendering their resignations. The resignations were accepted, and the faculty of the University of Nashville, from which institution Dr. Boswell halls, has been notified to appoint a new interne to succeed him. Dr. Boswell's resignation is to take effect immediately, while that of Dr. Reisman is to take effect as soon as his successor takes office. The resignations came as a surprise in the case. An order was issued by the Board late Tuesday afternoon for the two physicians to appear before that body at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon to receive the reprimand to which they had been sentenced. Shortly after noon Dr. Reisman handed his written resignation to Superintendent Goodlett, who, in turn, delivered it to the Board. Dr. Doewell tendered his written resignation shortly before 3 o'clock. The Board will elect Dr. Reisman's THE BALLET d, and if history repe remember there are f ashed in the United St the surface in encou the white race doesn't is realized." history repeats itself they will there are four different sizes.

The following was Dr. Reisman's resignation in full: Dr. Reshman's Resignation. "The Dr. Reshman of Public Works and Affairs—Gentlemen: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., notifying me to appear before your honorable body to-day to receive a reprimand adjudged in the recent investigation of my administration as house surgeon of the City Hospital. "In view of the fact that the evidence disclosed that the body of my offense was that I stood between an humble and faithful nurse and the probable results of an unfortunate Cor. Ninth Ave. and Cedar St Thereon on her part; and for the further fact that the evidence failed to show wherein such action on my part resulted in injury to anyone, or that everything was not done to relieve the patient, I beg to most respectfully decline to accept the proposed reprimand, and hereby tender my resignation as your house surgeon at the hospital, to take effect at once, or as soon as my successor is elected, as may suit your pleasure. "In this connection permit me to state that I take pride in my record at the hospital, and believed at the time that my action would not only not prejudice the rights of the city, but would operate to the best interests of both the institution and the city. Should misfortune come to the poor woman on account of the unhappy circumstances through which she passed. I shall feel peculiar gratification that mine was not the hand to take from her the nonthe profession she had chosen as her life work. "In tendering my resignation I wish to state that I do so without any feelings toward any member of the Board except those of gratefulness and appreciation for the confidence reposed in me in the past, and the uniform courtesy extended to me at all times.

WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? Unrestrained and unpunished crime has been and is so rampant in this state that Tennessee is fast displacing Kentucky in the opinion of the outer world as a “dark and bloody” place where human life is regarded as a mere bauble. Homicides, wide open lynchings, night rider depredations oc- cur with such frequency and are so sel- dom adequately punished that the ques- tion naturally arises “Where will it all end?” Here in the city of Nashville, with its estimated population of 125,000, more murders are committed in six months than in the great city of Lon- don, with its more than 5,000,000 in- habitants, in twelve months. Why this great difference? Is it that Tennessee is still a frontier state? Or, Is it that men are led to take human life because our humane jurors never vote to hang the most red-handed murderer as long as the criminal is able to work and prove a source of income to our state prison system? We know not whether these be the causes of our frightful murder record, but we do know that too few murderers are hanged by authority of the law. Lynchings seem to be a pasttime in Tennessee. Every reader of The Globe will doubtless recall the Murfreesborc and Pulaski cases where the victims were Negroes. All will remember ‘ow in the Pulaski case several of the members of the mob admitted their participation in the killing of the boy, yet the Grand Jury brought ir the same old hacknied verdict: “Met his death at the hands of unknowr parties.” But now comes the case of a white man in Roane County. The mob with its accustomed defiance o' every law, went into the jail at Rock wood and shot the prisoner to death In thts case as in the others practi cally nothing has been done to brin; these midnight murderers to justic! and it ts our opinion nothing will done. The case of the Reelfoot Night Rid ers has been heralded far and wide but practically nothing has been sai of the Cheatham County band. Here almost in sight of the State Capitol a lawless band of night marauders ar driving innocent, inoffensive citizen from their homes and burning thei houses behind them. These citizens so far as we have been able to learn have “attended to their own business, have sought to become respectable b:; owning their own homes and in ever: way have tried to make themselve THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908. useful to society, but all of a sudden they must leave for the destruction of the night riders all of this world’s goods that they have been a life time accumulating. Whither are we drifting? Have our white friends, who in times past ac- cused us of shielding criminality, be- come impotent? Can not they, who control all of the machinery of the law, place fair Tennessee, which we love as dearly as they, upon that pe- destal where she rightfully belongs as a law-abiding, liberty-loving, hu- man life respecting state? STATE RIGHTS. At the very foundation of the United States of America, the question arose as to where the rights of a state ceased and where those of the Federal Gov- ernment begun. This question of “state rights” has been a bone of con- tention since then. The Civil War was suppored to have settled it forever and a day, but it bobs up as serenely as a Chinese joss to protect those who at one time would have none of “state rights.” In the North and East trust mag- nates are hiding behind “state rights” to shield them from the prosecution of the Federal Government. But in the South and West, where the democrats have more sway, there is a leaning to- wards the doctrine of a stronger cen- tralized government. The guaranty of bank deposits and a national child. labor law, which Mr. Bryan advocates, doubtless make Thos, Jefferson, the father of “state rights,” turn over in his grave. ~ In the South, which does not at heart coincide with many of the theo: ries of Mr. Bryan, the gradual drift to centralization of power is evident in the state-wide prohibition move. ments, Men who claim to be “Jeffer sonian Democrats” descend from the original breed, demand with compla cency that the states as a whole abol ish the rights of a community. As for our part, we are glad to see the growth of the centralization of power idea and we hope it will no! stop until the Governors of all the states will be empowered to go inte counties without waiting for a re quest from the sherifi for assistance and enforce the laws. We hope to se the day come when the upright ele ment of the states may, through thei Governors, go behind the local senti ment which protects them and brins night-riding murderers to justice. W hope to see the day come when a gov ernment that will spend millions t protect one of its citizens in a foreign country will be able to do somethin; for that same citizen when he is o1 his native heath. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. Let us celebrate it as it was intended that the day should be celebrated when it was first established: by assembling in our churches in the morning and _re- turning thanks to our Maker for the many blessings sent us in the past year. Though the race as a whole has met with many trials, it has conquered them with a courage that bespeaks its inherent ability to overcome obstacles and has gone forward “doing things.” There have been times when we could not exercise what is said to be a racial characteristic: that of laughing at trouble, but above and beyond it all a smiling Providence has given us in. dividually and collectively more to bé thankful for than otherwise. Let u: meet and thank our Heavenly Father for the blessings and praise Him fot the trials and renew our covenant te serve Him better in the coming year Cuba will soon begin another . at- tempt at self-government. Jose Miguel Gomea, the leader of the faction which So successfully opposed the govern: ment headed by the late Thomas Fs: trada Palma, has been chosen the new President. Gen, Gomez will doubtless be able to do more with the Cubans than Palma because he is closer to the masses, He is one of the veterans who believed in Cuba Libre when the Spanish were In control, and if we mis take not, is what wonld be called 4 Negro in the United States. The New President will assume the reins of au thority in January and the forces 0) Uncle Sam will decamp and returt home. © Some sort of an appropriation should be made by the incoming leg- islature to aid in the education of the Negro youth of the state. Tennessee is woefully behind other states in this matter and by comparison of what she is doing for her white children seews to be going still further back. If an industrial school cannot be secured this term—and we believe it can be it the proper effort is put forth—then, why not have scholarships? In years gone by scholarships were allowed to Fisk, Roger Williams, Central, Knox. ville and other schools of the state Why cannot we have them now? Sup: pee we “get busy” and go after our share. ‘The latest official returns show that the Hon. G. N. Tilinian was defeated by Gov. Patterson by less than 19,000 yotes. Suppose “Brother” Tillman could have controlled that “90 per cent” of the black sheep that went astray! The Hon. G. N. might be- come a peacemaker now and line up all the opposing factions for two years hence, Since there will be no dele- gates to the National Convention, the Hon. Mr. Tillman might persuade the “I won't hear you one minute” bosses to give the party a state-wide primary instead of snap committee named ‘conventions. % One of the newest ventures in jour- nalism is ‘The Hopkinsville Times, a weekly published at Hopkinsville, Ky., by the Hon. Joseph Wilkerson DeWees. Mr. DeWees has a world of newspaper experience and besides possesses the practical skill to get his paper out, With such a competent man as its edi- tor and publisher, The Times should scoot on the journalistic seas like a high power motor boat on a placid lake, We welcome the Times and hope for it a long and successful life. The prosecution of the Reelfoot ‘Lake night-riders is attracting almost universal attention, and Tennessee is getting some free advertising as a lawless state that is doing the state no good. The step from killing Ne- groes to the killing of white men is so gradual as to be almost imperceptible, but the results in the minds of the outer world are far different. China loses two rulers just as the United States is getting ready to take on two—Teddy and Bill. Those Chi- nese always were perverse, They do just the opposite to we Westerners. While they are tinkering with the tariff we hope they will make a reduc- tion on the necessities of life. These have about reached the sky line. “Bill” Taft has been elected all right but if you expect to have anything you will have to work for it as here- tofore. " Bryan still hopes to be President. He has refused to declare himself out of the race. In fact, as an also ran Bryan is still running, Prosperity bounded into the ring, just after the election, like a rubber ball, but how about the rebound? Thanksgiving, with its turkey, and then—a few days and the Christmas egg nog. eae COMMUNICATION, The Berea College Case. To The Nashville Globe, The Supreme Court of the United States in its recent decision in the “Berea College Case” has done about the same thing that was done by that high tribunal in the “Dred Scott Case” when the opinion was delivered by Chief-Justice Taney, who held that Negroes had no rights which white men were bound to respect. The re- cent decision is as inconsistent and far-reaching in its narrow, proscrip- tive sense as was its ante-bellum pre- decessor; but it is wholly within the truth to say that it is more so, for the reason that at the time the “Dred Seott’ opinion was rendered the Ne gro was not constitutionally recog: nized as a citizen of the body politic as he is to-day, or nominally so, under the provisions of the Thirteenth, Four teenth and Fifteenth Amendments o: the National Constitution. | There is a striking similarity in th tenor of the two decisions, though ren dered under entirely different circum stances and conditions—two distinc epochs: of national history—when th country was half slave and half free in the year 1856 and in 1908 when it is suposed to be all free. ‘The recent decision has the effect of nullifying and destroying what was intended by the broad-minded and philanthropic founders of Berea Col- lege. But there is a ray of consola- tion in the fact that Judge Harlan, who is a native Kentuckian and who is personally and intimately ac- quainted with the Berea project in all of its bearings from its incipiency, and Judge Day, who sat in the case and heard the evidence and argument, difiered with the majority of the court and handed down a clear and logical minority opinion. Those whose liber- ality was responsible for the founding and establishment of Berea knew what they wanted and for what they were giving their money, just as was the case with those who bought and founded the first Roger Williams Uni- versity. Although the majority of the high- est court in the land felt called on to pander to race prejudice, yet the cause of Negro education will not stand still, as will be seen by the following As- sociated Press dispatch: “Lexington, Ky., November 18,—It was announced here last night that Mrs. Russell Sage, of New York, has given $25,000 toward the establish- ment of a college for colored youths in Kentucky, to be a branch of Berea College. This brings the fund up te $350,000 from outside sources, leaving $50,000 to be raised in Kentucky. This is being rapidly done.” As there is a providence that shape: and guides the destinies of men, with their earnest co-operation and assit ance, that providence is actively mold ing the destiny of the Negro peopl who are intelligently cognizant of the responsibilities incumbent upon them JADECER. FOUND UNDER MATTRESS. Riding nineteen miles across coun- try Monday night Sheriff Sam Borum, Deputy Sheriff Frank Starks, of Da- vidson County, acompanied by Deputy Nevills, of Wiiliamson County, ar- rested Sam Spratt, wanted in this county on the charge of murder. It is charged that on the night of Oct. 10 a number of men were engaged ing difficulty in Express Alley. Dur- ing the fight Ben Hill was struck on the head with a brick and a stick, thought to be a baseball bat, and rendered unconscious, He was taken to the City Hospital and died a day or so later. Warants were sworn out for Ed Brown and Spratt, resulting in the immediate arrest of Brown. Spratt departed and has been at large until located and arrested by Sheriff Borum Monday night, about twenty-two miles from Franklin, in Williamson County. Sheriff Borum learned ‘Monday that Spratt was in Williamson Coun- ty with his wife. The Sheriff left at 6 o'clock Monday evening, rode sev- eral miles across a broken section of Williamson County and found his man. He was in bed, not only in bed put hiding between the slats and the straw tick, with his wife lying there very unconcerned, as if nothing un usual were about to hapen. ‘Through the courtesy of the Louis ville & Nashville Railroad the fast train due here at 3 p. m. was stopped for the Sheriff, thus enabling him tc reach the city much earlier, Sprat was placed in the county jail pending ee Ca ae Be ae H, T.

Try to Secure Greater Inducements for Out-of-Town Shoppers. At 8 o'clock Tuesday night at the Board of Trade headquarters the Retail Merchants Transportation Association held its regular meeting. The plan of refunding railroad fares to out-of-town shoppers was carefully considered and probably in some particulars revised. It has been suggested that the plan be changed to allow rebates on a larger mileage plan. Under the present plan, and one which has been in vogue for months, fares are refunded to the amount covering transportation, for forty miles on $25 purchases, and eighty miles on purchases of $50, and it expected that even greater inducements will be offered. This is suggested as a result of the fact that many shoppers are coming from distances far greater than provided for in the plan, and the Association desires as a matter of fairness to all to reach these also. During the past few weeks shoppers have been here not only from Tennessee and Kentucky, but also from many points in Mississippi, Alabama and few points in Georgia and South Carolina. Plans were discussed at the meeting also for the adoption of a simpler system of handling these rebates. Under the present system, the shopper must put his signature to a coupon at each purchase, and to provide convenience, it is suggested that some form of transfer system be adopted. A report of last month's operations of the Association was made by Miss Frances W. Foulks, Secretary. RABBI ON MIXED MARRIAGES. New York.—Israel Zangwill's advocacy of intermarriage of Jews and Christians has been answered in New JUST THE THING FOR YOU. York by Rabbi Dr. Samuel Schulman. Zangwill's advice would, if carried out, efface Judaism and destroy the Jewish minority in the United States in three generations. The result would be the annihilation of the purity and integrity of the Jewish religion and the unity of the home, he continued. Along similar lines Father McCloskey, of the Roman Catholic Church, scored mixed marriage for Catholics. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. The Heliotrope Circle reorganized for the season at the residence of Mrs. S. V. Lofton, Fogg street. It was a business meeting. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: Mrs. A. J.

SUPREME COURT WITHOUT JURISDICTION. Washington. —The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision of the United States Circuit Court for the Western Division of Kentucky in the case of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company vs. Erasmus L. and Annie E. Mottley, on the ground that that court was without jurisdiction, both parties being citizens of Kentucky. The case involved the interesting question whether the Hepburn railroad act prohibiting the issuance of free passes could be invoked to annul a contract. The Mottleys will now have to resort to the State courts to secure their passes or abandon their case. The Mottleys received injuries on the Louisville & Nashville road in 1871 and agreed to accept free transporta- --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908 No. 5128-H.—For Platform Decorations.

When the Hepburn act went into effect the road refused to issue further passes on the ground that it was prohibited by law and the couple brought suit to compel compliance with the contract. The Supreme Court avoided dealing with this question and reversing the decision of the court below directed it to dismiss the case. The Lilac Embroidery Club met last Monday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. Crocket, 1010 Tenth avenue, South. The house was beautifully decorated with green plants.

Allen Christian Endeavor League at St. James, East Nashville met Sunday Nov. 8, 1908, and it was a day of praise at St. James Chapel. The Rev. T. W. Brooks, of St. Paul and Carney A. Brooks, of St. John, Nashville, delivered eloquent addresses. The object of the meeting was to organize the Allen Christian League meeting at this place which was done by Miss M. B. Topp, Local Organizer. The Endeavors seemed to have put on new zeal and say that if God will lead them this conference year and the noble and able pastor, Rev. Jas. T. Gilmore, D. D., will stand to them, they will stand to Allen's cause. Timely and thoughtful remarks were made by Miss M. B. Topp in which she urged upon the members old and young to do their duty and not sit idlely down, making big speeches, but put their hands to the plough and work for the Master and for Allen's cause. Miss Topp is a great worker for Allen C. E. Leagues, she has been recently appointed Local Agent for the A. M. E. Church Review, the greatest magazine of the age, edited by Prof. H. T. Kealing, of Philadelphia. Mr. T. W. Ledbetter, of St. James, delivered an address on A. C. E. League which captivated his audience.

Ledbetter, Sec'y RECEPTION. The members of Bethel A. M. E. Church gave a reception Friday night in honor of their pastor, Rev. W. E. Denny. The program was as follows: Song—Choir. Invocation—Rev. Joseph Talley. Song—Choir. Welcome Address, in behalf of the church officers—Mr. Wm. Bramlette. Welcome Address, in behalf of the young ladies of the church—Miss Celia Hendley. Solo, "Resignation"—Miss Annie M. Rucker. Address, in behalf of the Sunday- School—Miss Tabitha Claybrooks. Solo, "The Light of Heaven's Own Solo, "The Light of Heaven's Own Day"—Miss N. Eva Murrell. Remarks—Rev. W. A. Anderson. Solo, "Face to Face"—Miss Maggie E. Hargrave. Response—Dr. W. B. Denny. This is Dr. Denny's third year at Bethel and the church seemed highly pleased to have him returned. Many were the compliments showered upon him and each speaker vied with the other in setting forth with glowing words the many good qualities of the pastor. In behalf of the young ladies, a white rose was presented, symbolizing his life as they had found it—immaculate. In behalf of the young matrons, a bunch of white chrysanthemums clustered with white satin ribbons was presented with the same spirit as that manifested by the young ladies. Rev. Denny responded with much feeling and well chosen words after which the following menu was served: Ham sandwiches and pickles, salmon salad on lettuce leaves and beaten biscuits, ice cream and cake, apples, granes, oranges, bananas and black coffee. Rev. W. A. Anderson was Master of Ceremonies. THE KITCHEN GOD. (From the London Illustrated News.) The kitchen god of China is perhaps not rightly so called. He is placed over the kitchen range, but he is the "recording angel" of the Chinese house, and it is his duty to note the actions of each member of the family and report them to the gods at the end of every month. Once a year, too, he goes to heaven in person and makes his annual report. So once a year the family prostrate themselves before him, carry him in procession, and finally burn him, while crackers are fired. NON-RESIDENT NOTICE. ISAAH DOUGLASS. In this cause it appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the defendant is a non-resident of the State of Tennessee, therefore the ordinary process of law can not be served upon him; it is therefore ordered that said defendant enter his appearance herein at the next term of the Davidson County Circuit Court, to be holden at the Court House in Nashville, Tennessee, on the Fourth Monday in December, it being the 28th day thereof, and defend, or said complainant's bill will be taken for confessed as to him and set for hearing ex parte.

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, 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 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.* REFUSE TO BE REPRIMANDED. (Continued from Page 2.) Very respectfully, E. E. REISMAN." Dr. Boswell's resignation was as follows, in full: Resignation of Dr. Boswell, "To the Board of Public Works, Nashville, Tenn.—Gentlemen: May 6, 1908, you commissioned me as interne in the City Hospital. When I entered on my duties the house surgeon, Dr. Reisman, informed me that I was ab- solutely under his orders. An examina- tion of the hospital laws after- wards convinced me that he was cor- rect in that statement. "As shown in the evidence before your Board, upon being informed by the nurse attending Addie Crockett, the night of Oct. 14, that oxalic acid had been administered to her instead of epsom salts, I immediately went to the patient, realizing that her condition was serious, and, finding Dr. Reisman in the ward at the time, I at once reported the matter to him. From that moment I acted under his instructions in every particular. "As he was preparing to leave the ward that night, I asked him if he intended to report the accident to the patient's physician. He said he would not, and asked me not to say anything about it, as the knowledge of the mistake would injure the hospital. Later I told him that if the accident was to be concealed from the patient's physician, I could not conscientiously become a party to it by accompanying him when he called to see her. From that time the house surgeon frequently went with Dr. Cowden when calling on his patient. "Later, I asked the Superintendent, Mr. Goodlett, if it was my duty to report the matter to the attending physician. He advised me that having reported the occurrence to the house surgeon, I had done my full duty." "Gentlemen, I have always understood and been advised that in all matters pertaining to my duties as interne in the City Hospital the house surgeon was my superior officer, and therefore I was always under his direction. When I was first notified of the unfortunate accident, from that moment up to the present time I concealed nothing from him, reported the matter promptly, and have followed his instructions to the letter. I have in no respect acted contrary to his orders, nor have I been guilty of insubordination to any degree. I have strictly complied with the hospital laws as they were interpreted to me by my superior officer, Dr. Reelsman. "Now, gentlemen, you have decided to censure me, and for what? Only because I faithfully carried out the instructions of your house surgeon, my superior officer, and because I did not exceed my duty by reporting the matter to the physician in charge. "Your decision to censure me is so greatly unjust that I decline to accept any reprimand at your hands. Furthermore, I refuse to longer serve in an institution controlled by men who can act so unfairly to a young and undefended man who has endeavored to do his full duty. "I therefore tender my resignation, to take effect immediately. Respectfully, "HENRY BOSWELL, JR., M. D." A jolly crowd spent the day nutting at, Scottsboro, Tenn., last Sunday. After gathering nuts they went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson, where a four-course menu was served.

On Saturday, November 14, for the first time this season Pearl High's football team met an adversary in its own class—Bradley Academy, of Murresboro, which fact awakened much interest in the outcome of the game. Although Pearl crossed the goal line three times in the first half, no one supposed the contest to be decided, as Bradley had made a stubborn resistance and retired in good condition. In the second half the defenders of the cherry red and white entered with a feeling that did not sufficiently demonstrate their superiority, while their opponent, cheered by loyal supporters, continued to dispute their progress, romped across Mooney campus for five successive touchdowns. The game ended: Pearl 44; Bradley, 0. Bradley's guards and quarterback did good work and their team contains excellent material. Their inability to advance the ball being the main cause of their defeat. Davis, Pearl's fullback, received the ball on a kickoff in the second half and ran about one hundred yards for a touchdown. Floyd also made a sensational end run which resulted in a touchdown. Those who shared in the touchdowns for Pearl were Hurt, 3; Upshaw, 2; Floyd, 1; Leach, 1; and Davis, 1. Of the eight touchdowns, four goals were kicked by Hurt, the remainder being at difficult angles. Pearl. Position. Bradley. Duncan* . R. E. Sublett Frazier . T. Burks Frazier . R. T. Burks Caldwell .

The game will take place on Fisk campus and will be called at 2:30 p. m. *** The Howard University football team is stronger than ever this season, and the manner in which they have run over their opponents shows that they are hard to handle. The team is composed of star players from nearly every state in the Union, and is being coached by Prof. Robertson, the old Oberlin star. For several seasons he was coach at Fisk University. They have a splendid combination. 1910 PROF, GILES, Coach Fisk University Squad. Among the new men on the team this season are two from the South, and the way they are working is both spectacular and sensational. Both are men of great strength, fast and hard to down. They are already stars on the Howard team and playing the kind of game that made them the idols of the South. Allen from the A. B. C. team at Atlanta, and Terry from Meharry are a couple hard to beat, and a team with two such men in the back field will strike terror to all comers. These men are the talk of Washington and even the daily papers, are speaking of their wonderful work Neshville feels proud of the fact that she has turned out such men. The Howard team has a hard schedule this season: November 14—Hampton Institute at Norfolk, Va. November 16—Union University at Richmond, Va.

Thanksgiving Day—Kentucky State University at Washington, D. C. Tuskegee outplayed Talladega Saturday and won one of the hardest games witnessed here in many seasons. Both teams put up a splendid game. Tuskegee won because she had the better team, and her playing was high class. The score should have been larger, but several bad plays at the wrong time kept Tuskegee from scoring. Talladega also has a strong team and one that fights hard all the time, and was only defeated after a hard struggle. Tuskegee has a strong team this season and will have every reason for laying claims to the championship of the South. She has everything in the football line and showed how well she could use them. They have developed a team that will make trouble for any in the South. Score: Tuskegee, 5; Talladega, 0. * * * On Saturday, November 21st, the Pearl High School team will have her last game of the season when she tries to down the husky boys from the Turner Normal School of Shelbyville.

Patterson Tuesday issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, declaring Thursday, Nov. 26, to be a public holiday in Tennessee, and calling upon the people of the State to "suspend their usual daily vocations and render homage to the Creator. The proclamation follows: "The President of the United States having by proclamation designated Thursday, Nov. 26, 1908, as a National Day of Thanksgiving, now, therefore, I. Malcolm R. Patterson, Governor of Tennessee, in obedience to law and custom, do hereby proclaim and designate the said 26th day of November a legal holiday, and request our people to suspend their usual daily vocations and render unto Him who holds the destinies of Nations and of men in His keeping, the homage and reverence due the Creator and Preserver. "We have much to be grateful for, in that our country is at peace with all the world, is loved at home, honored in every land, and among the Nations of the earth leads in the upward march of human progress and enlightenment. "We may also find in the material condition of our beloved State, a solid growth and safe prosperity, neither famine nor pestilence among us, but health and plenty on every side, and golden opportunities for all who are willing to sow that they may gather the reward which follows honest toil. "But in the midst of our prosperity there are clouds which darken the sky and cast their shadows athwart our STIRLING paths. Let us hope that these will presently pass away, and that the same divine hand which gathered will scatter them again, when the warning has been taken and all our people learn again the lesson which some forget, that in law is our surest hope, and that only in obedience to its eternal commands can we live in social order, enduring peace and fulfill the high mission of civilized life. Let us so live that good will and gentle peace may come down from heaven to bless us all, that justice shall reign among us, that we be saved from intolerance, dissensions and suspicion and from the evils which flow therefrom to vex the State and divide the people. "Let us pray that mercy will bring her balm of healing, and bind up the wounds of bleeding hearts, wherever they may be, that innocence will not suffer, that our land be washed of bloody stains, that we may have faith and hope and charity, and not forget the gentle Son of God taught that charity is the greatest of these. "In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed at Nashville on this, the 17th day of November, 1908. "MALCOM R. PATTERSON. "By the Governor, TREATMENT OF MUSCLE STRAIN Pains Often Mistaken for Rheumatism—Rest the Cure. (From Youth's Companion.) A muscle which has been strained either by overuse or in some unaccustomed way often gives rise to such severe symptoms as to lead to a diagnosis of some other and more serious trouble. This affection is not the same as that called myalgia, which indeed means pain in a muscle, but is usually of rheumatic or neuralgic nature. The trouble here meant is something less serious, being nothing more than a strain. It is easy to see that any muscular pain may be mistaken for rheumatism or some acute inflammation, as it may give rise to precisely the same painful symptoms. For example, when it occurs in some muscle on the right side of the abdomen it has been known to look for a time exactly like the colic of appendicitis, and it has time and again been treated as true rheumatism. There are several ways in which the facts may be discovered. On questioning it will be found that some muscle or certain skill of muscles has been subjected to an unusual strain and is in a state of mutiny in consequence. The pain will be worse at night and better in the morning after the night's rest, proving that it has a basis of fatigue. Furthermore, it will yield entirely to a proper amount of rest. In fact this one thing—rest—comprises the whole of the treatment. When the abdominal muscles are involved there must be rest in bed, with perhaps some anodyne to deaden the pain at first—this, of course, to be given only under the order of a physician. In milder cases the patients can go about their usual duties if fitted properly with an abdominal belt. When the muscles at the back of the neck are affected it is a great relief always to use a highbacked chair, and when the pain is in the arm a sling should be worn.
