THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. TIPTONVILLE AFFAIR ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS CHAPTER IN HISTORY OF TENNESSEE—MOB SPIRIT STILL GAINING GROUND—MANHOOD OF SOUTH BEING WEIGHED IN BALANCES—SACRED ALTAR USED AS SLAUGHTER PEN — SATURDAY NIGHT SUPPER DIRECT CAUSE OF TROUBLE—MINISTERS AND CHURCH LEADERS HAVE SOME THING TO CONSIDER — LAWLESS ELEMENT REIGNS. On last Saturday night a church in Tiptonville was the scene of a row that terminated in one of the bloodiest outrages ever committed in this State. The trouble was started by some of the attendants at the festival. The officers of the church called in a deputy sheriff to quell the disturbance. When he went to make the arrest the Steinback brothers resisted. Shots were exchanged and when the smoke cleared away $n$ was discovered that the officers had gotten the worst of the bargain. This was a signal for the assembling of the mob organization. The men were arrested and landed in jail. The sheriff had other business away from his post of duty at the most critical time, and the mob, seemingly knowing that the Sheriff was away, went to the jail and took the three men out and carried them into the church where the trouble started and there erected a scaffold on the altar to execute their victims on. So the effort on the part of the church officers and the pastor to get the people together on Saturday night and have a festival has cost the lives of three brave men, disgraced the community and the State, and destroyed the usefulness of the church for an unknown period, and probably forever. The Men had $600 when arrested, which no account has been made for. The daily papers reported the outrage as follows: Special to the Banner. Tiptonville, Tenn., November 25. Three dead bodies dangling from an improvised scaffold erected in front of the pulpit of a negro church in District No. 4, this (Lake) county, five miles from this city, was the awful spectacle which greeted the crowd of curious people who gathered about the church this morning. They had assembled to view the work of the mob which took from the Tiptonville jail last night Marshall, Ed and Jim Stineback, the negroes who shot and fatally wounded two deputy sheriffs in front of this same church last Saturday night. The lynching of these negroes was planned with deliberation and executed with a grewsome coolness that has rarely been witnessed in the work of mobs. As a rule mobs act in the heat of passion, but this mob went about its work with a cool deliberation unusual for its detail of plan, but nevertheless effective in its execution ALL-DAY MOB. It will be remembered that all day yesterday this little city was filled with an excited mob, numbering anywhere from 150 to 500 men. This mob, unlike others, however, seemed willing to listen to reason, and for some hours it was thought that the leaders had agreed to allow the law to take its course. Along late in the afternoon the mob dispersed, and the town again assumed its usual quietness; but later the angry men reassembled and accomplished their direful purpose. The negroes were arrested early in the morning near Ridgeley and were taken to Tiptonville and committed to jail. No sooner had this been accomplished than a mob of determined men began to gather and within an hour preparations to carry into execution the work of vengeance determined upon were well under way and the leaders began to gather their forces about them to make the assault on the jail. The crowd, made up of determined and angry men, slowly surrounded the jail, but here it was met NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1908 by one of the county's most prominent lawyers, Mr. J. T. Burness, who made an impassioned address, urging the mob to desist from any act of violence and promising to use his influence in securing an early trial for the negroes. SEMBLANCE OF LAW. This did not appeal to the mob and finally Mr. S. J. Caldwell, another lawyer, proposed that if the mob was determined to lynch the negroes to at least wait until the semblance of a trial could be had, and he suggested that Justice Davis be authorized to summon a jury and let the negroes be duly sentenced to death and then the mob could execute the sentence. This was agreed to and the mob, except just enough to watch the jail and see that Sheriff Haines did not attempt to ship the negroes out and carry them to a place of safety, left the jail building to await the trial, set for 5 o'clock in the afternoon. In the meantime after the story of the proposed lynching had been sent the Banner and thus became known in Nashville Mr. Haines and others received telegrams from Gov. Patterson pleading with them to prevent at all hazards the proposed lynching as it would be a disgrace to the state. He also agreed to order a special term of Circuit Court to try the negroes. Sheriff Haines also communicated with Attorney-General Caldwell at Union City and he in turn called up a number of men here, including Cheek Burrus, father of Richard Burrus, the special deputy killed by the negroes, and Mr. Burrus, after talking with Gen. Caldwell, said he was willing for the law to take its course and he advised the leaders of the mob to go home and let the negroes be tried in the regular way. THE MILITARY ARM. It soon became rumored that soldiers had been ordered from Union City to this place, and this seemed again to rekindle the mob spirit and arouse suspicion that the Sheriff was attempting to remove the prisoners. Pacific methods and arguments were brought to bear on the mob, and the leaders agreed to disperse, but insisted on leaving a guard of six men at the jail to see that the Sheriff did not remove the prisoners. This was agreed to, and shortly after dark the mob dispersed, leaving town, supposedly for their homes, and the townspeople retired to their homes, believing that the mob had gone and the little city was to be spared this blot upon its fair name. RULE OF THE MOB It later developed, however, that this was a subterfuge employed by the leaders of the mob, for, instead of going to their homes, the members, upon reaching the outskirts of the town, turned into Jail Lane, which leads directly to the county jail through a sparsely settled portion of the town, and marched back to that building. Sheriff Haines had gone to the long-distance telephone office to talk with Gen. Caldwell, and the only persons left in the jail were jailer John Hunt and Martin Craig, from District No. 4. It is not known what became of the six guards left around the jail by the Sheriff, but however this may be, at about 6 o'clock someone knocked at the outer door, and when John Hunt responded he was covered with at least fifty guns. The mob had returned and the leader demanded of him the keys. He handed the keys out through the bars, and the leader unlocked the door and with solemn silence the members of the mob filed into and filled the jail passages and halls. They went to the cells wherein the prisoners were confined, led them out and at the door of the jail compelled them to get into a wagon drawn by four horses. ON THE ROAD TO DEATH. The mob then surrounding the wagon left, going down jail lane out of town, down the bottom road towards District No. 4, to the little church where, on last Saturday night, the negroes, Marshall, Jim and Ed Stineback, shot and fatally wounded Richard Burrus, who died Sunday, and Deputy Sheriff John Hall, who were attempting to arrest the negroes for disturbing public worship. Here the mob, with that cold, calculating determination which had characterized all of its previous plans and proceedings, erected within the church a scaffold just in front of the pulpit, from which the three negroes were hanged, Marshall Stineback, the larger of the three brothers, being swung to the center of the beam, with Ed and Jim Stineback on either side of him. After the negroes had been swung up DIED NOVEMBER 19, AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-SEVEN. BODY LAY IN STATE AT CHURCH —REMAINS VIEWED BY THOUSANDS—OVER FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTENDED THE FUNERAL ON SUNDAY—WAS FOR FIFTY YEARS A CONSISTENT MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL—ALL THE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST MINISTERS OF THE CITY AND SEVERAL FROM OTHER POINTS PRESENT. Nashville stands with bowed heads in obesience to the call of Divine Providence for in the death of Elder Hal Ewing she loses one of her first citizens. Elder Ewing died Thursday, November 19, at his home, 909 Blank street, at the age of seventy-seven. He was among the pioneer builders for the good of humanity and especially in things that tended toward the uplift of the race. He was a man of sterling character. He came on the scene of action when men's souls were tried, and when only those with strong virtues could stand the test. About fifty years ago he started out to preach—at a time when a black man dared to preach to Negroes about freedom in any form only at the risk of his life. Elder Hal Ewing was, therefore, a diplomat of the first order, for to preach as the holy writ teaches means that the people will be taught that all men are free and equal, but he seemed to have been well versed in the law as explained by St. Paul, a Bible character of old, that things often true are not those expedient; so he was, able to preach in a way that would be permissable under the conditions of those times. He hoped, however, for a better day and lived to see it come and himself enjoyed forty-odd years of freedom. The people in his community always looked to him for counsel, and he was ever ready to advise them to the best of his ability. No one has ever accused him of giving advice that brought sorrow to those receiving it, but instead his record is one of having been an apostle of peace. After the close of the war, Elder Ewing removed to the city of his choice and continued to prosecute his assault against the evils among the people. He kept his church at work in the effort to uplift humanity, and it can truly be said of him that he lived a life that will be a blessing to generations unborn. After his death the body was conveyed to the church which he had pastored for many years and lay in state there until Sunday. Elder Ewing was widely known and thousands went to the church to view the remains. The funeral was conducted Sunday by the Primitive Baptist ministers of the city, who were assisted by several visiting preachers from other points. There has not been a funeral in this city for many years that was attended by as many people. It was estimated that over five thousand people were in the church and on the ground. The streets for blocks were literally packed and after the services were concluded, as is the custom of his denomination the long procession formed and marched with the hearse to the cemetery. It was an impressive scene. The man was truly deserving of the honor shown him, for he was a big hearted man, kind, courageous and brave. The passing of Elder Ewing moves from the ranks another one of the landmarks. One by one they are dropping out, and leaving gaps to be filled by the younger men of the race. Mr. Ewing, son of the deceased, and a daughter, came from Louisville, Ky. to attend the funeral. MR. AND MRS. D. A. HART ENTER TAIN ON THANKSGIVING Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hart. of 1726 Jefferson street entertained at dinner Thanksgiving. The usual menu for the occasion was served. Those present were Mrs. Winnie Mitcham Hart, Mrs. Corinne McGavock and Mrs. Ellen Tyree, Mrs. Alberta Sanders, Mrs. Carrie Allen and Charlie and Leon Sanders. DR. CHAS. HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. DR. CHAS. HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. The above is a likeness of Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., who is now in the city to visit his parents, Bishop and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, and also to act as an official in the big foot-ball contest between Meharry and Fisk. Mr. Phillips is a former foot-ball star of Meharry—being one of the best guards Nashville has ever had. He graduated from Walden University in 1904 receiving the degree of Bachlor of DR. CHAS. HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. Pedagogy, and from Meharry in 1908, receiving his M. D. degree. Since his graduation he has figured in some of the prominent happenings of the year. At the big dinner given in his honor at his father's residence in April among those to attend were Prof B. T. Washington, the noted Negro educator and Registrar Vernon of the U. S. Treasury. Shortly afterwards Dr. Phillips left for Alabama and was a prominent speaker at the medical association of that state. In Dallas while at the Bluitt Sanitarium he assisted Dr. Bluitt in an emergency operation on one of the leading white citizens and was highly complimented by the daily papers. Dr. Phillips passed the State Board of Medicine of Texas in June and was one of the only three of the nine applicants of color to pass same, and only recently in Dallas at the Lone Star Medical Association, he was accorded the high honor of introducing Dr. D. H. Williams, the well-known Negro Surgeon of Chicago, to the Dallas citizenship. The "Op-Pru-Veburnum" the leading medical journal of the southwest had this to say of him: "Notable among the visiting physicians to the association, was Dr. Chas, H. Phillips, Jr., of Tyler, Texas, one of the most brilliant and progressive young men of the Lone Star state. He is a graduate of Meharry, with hospital training in Chicago and Montreal, and was one of the three of the nine colored applicants to pass the recent state board of Texas. His introduction of Dr. Daniel H. Williams on the night of the banquet was a brilliant bit of oratory and reflected much credit upon the speaker. In elegant and well selected terms he delivered his speech which brought rounds of hearty applause from the assembled guests. "Dr. Phillips, in the short time he has been located in Tyler, has gained the confidence and esteem of its citizens and enjoys a rapidly growing practice." Young Phillips is enjoying a lucrative practice in Tyler, Texas and was recently licensed for the Christian ministry. He will preach his first sermon Sunday morning, November 29 at Jackson Temple.* DEATH OF MISS HARRISON. Miss Alberta Harrison, of Rock City died suddenly Tuesday morning, November 10, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Anderson, Jim Town. Miss Harrison had been ill but a short time. The funeral was held at Lewis Street Baptist Church. Thursday afternoon. Rev. Luke Mason officiation. The following friends served as flower bearers: Misses Bessie Frank lin, Florence Weaver, Norris, L. B. Stringer. SIX O'CLOCK DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Ruben O'Neal entertained at dinner Mr. and Mrs. Pack O'Neal, Misses H. P. Page, M. J. Pyles, Satie Williams, Dr. C. L. Wilson and Mrs. Sophia Page. A three-course menu was served. Music was furnished by Miss Satie Williams and Mr. Ruben O'Neal. No.47 CRIMSON AND BLACK OUTPLAYED AT EVERY STAGE. FISK DEFEATS MEHARRY 14 TO 5 —LARGE CROWD OUT TO WITNESS THE CONTEST—NASHVILLE SOCIETY AT HER BEST—WEATHER IDEAL FOR THE SPORT—ONLY ONE INCIDENT TO MAR THE SERENITY—VANQUISHED TAKE THEIR DEFEAT CHEERFULLY — PEARL HIGH SCHOOL WINS FROM BURRELL —SCORE 29 TO 12. While the majestic sun was slowly sinking in the golden west on Thanksgiving Day the Old Gold and Blue of Fisk were reigning triumphants over the Crimson and Black of Meharry, and her noble sons once more carried the golden banner to success. In a game replete with sensational plays and full of the best brand of football Nashville has had the pleasure to witness, the boys from North Nashville won, not on a fluke nor a fumble, but on good, hard football. They outplayed their opponents at every stage of the game, and before the first half was over it, was plain that Fisk had Meharry seated. She went into the game with a dash and vim that swept Meharry off her feet, and before she could recover, the game was lost. Fisk showed that old spirit of never die, and was fighting hard every moment of play. While her team was lighter than the one from Meharry, they had mastered the new game in all of its departments and the manner in which they worked their shifts and formations was indeed beautiful. They simply had Meharry on the run. Although beaten, Meharry was not discouraged, and the manner in which she fought back is indeed a credit to her. She put her hopes in straight, hard football, with now and then a forward pass, but Coach Giles had built up a line that could hold and there was nothing doing in that way. She tried the ends and they to had been screwed up to the sticking point, and there was nothing doing there. After finding that she could not gain, she began a kicking game in which they were successful enough to score. All in all the game was a fine one, and would have moved off without a hitch had not some bad blood copped out, which speaks bad for the schools, and shows that the man has a bad streak. This kind of a thing should be broken up; it has gone too far already. The public does not go out to see a prize fight, but they pay what the management charges to see the game, and they demand good, clean football for their money; and men of this stripe should be ruled from the game. While Meharry lost, she took her defeat in a sportsmanlike manner, and, too, her men played clean ball, and it is hoped of the public that the management of the teams will see to it that the prize fighting element is eliminated from the game. FIRST HALF. Meharry kicked off to Fisk; Jackson received the ball and brought it back 18 yards. Fisk here began her famous off tackle plays and a deadly delayed pass, and without ever stopping, brought the ball to Meharry's 20 yard line. Here Meharry braced, and held Fisk for downs, but her stand did not last long, for Fisk soon had the ball again on the 35-yard line. Here she tried for a placement, which fell short. A Meharry fumbled the ball, and no sooner had he done this than a Fisk man grabbed it and sprinted across for the first touchdown. The goal was missed. Score: Fisk, 5; Meharry, 0. With fifteen minutes left to play, Meharry came back strong and fought a desperate game and at times showed some of that old vim and grit that has won for her many games. Now and then her backs would tear through for long gains, but could not hold the gait, and was compelled to resort to the kicking game. There was no more scoring in this half but it was filled with spectacular plays. Now and then a Fisk man would get away for long (Continued on Page 8.) The Nashville Globe.

HOW LONG, O CATILINE? "Court to give legal semblance to lynching of Negroes," is the heading of an article in the evening paper of this city, giving an account of the capture and prospective, or rather certain, lynching of the three Steinback brothers who, in a difficulty at a colored church Sunday night, November 22, shot and killed a deputy sheriff and mortally wounded a man whom he had deputized to assist him to arrest them for alleged disturbance of the services at the church. After the shooting the Stienbacks got away and eluded capture until Tuesday morning. They were taken to jail, not as a matter of safety until they could be legally tried by a proper court, but as a precaution against the "fun"—the lynching bee, a fit adjunct to darkness to hell—being spoiled by the too hasty and overanxious ones before night came on. A mock trial at five o'clock before a justice of the peace was promised the mob if they would be patient and abide the time—this was a rank, miserable piece of procrastinating subterfuge, a mockery of the rights of a fair and impartial trial before a proper tribunal. However guilty a man may be, his cause shall be disposed of by due process of law says the fundamental law of State and Nation. Think of it. Men being arrested, jailed, grand jury impaneled, indictment returned, petit jury selected, trial conducted, verdict reached, sentence of death pronounced and executed, all in twelve hours—from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.—and that, too, before a justice of the peace! Lovers of the orderly conduct and processes of law cannot but have the same feelings that actuated Cicero, Rome's greatest legal exponent, when he exclaimed, "How long, O Catilline, wilt thou abuse the law and contemn justice? To what extent wilt thou carry thy audacity?" It is an apparent fact, as recent and constantly recurring events fully evidence, that if men are allowed to trample upon the law. that liberty breeds in them maudlin sentiments and an unbridled disrespect for its wholsome restraint. No law-abiding citizen countenances any form of crime in any class or race, but the infaction of the law should be punished by the law, rightly and justly administered. Three Negroes Strung Up in Lake County after Trial and Sentence in Justice of the Peace Court heads an account, in a morning paper, of the' THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1908 lynching of the three Steinback brothers. It would have been far better, so far as respect for the law is concerned, to have hanged the men in the same old way without making such a shameful mockery of it. The District Court of Lake County would have meted out the death penalty to the Steinbacks and it was the proper agent to do so, not a justice of the peace. That the law is not all-sufficient for the administration of due punishment for every degree of crime is not, or should not, furnish any sort of contention on the part or any class of white men, for the patent and sufficient reason that it emanates from and is interpreted and executed by them. To the crime of lynching was added the crime of sacrilege—the hanging of the men in the church, right in front of the pulpit. When men carry their accursed audacity to this extent, some authority should bring itself to bear to curb them sure and certain ere the whole fabric of government is undermined and totters to its fall. The story of "Darkest Russia" discloses no more hideous doings in the name of the law in the Land of the Bear than the unwarranted haste in anticipating the law nthe case of the Steinbacks. What was done in an unlawful way could have been done with better grace lawfully. If the law is not the hope of all who suffer and the dread of all who do wrong, then, in the name of heaven and reason, what it good or fit for? Put out the light that streams from it, and all is chaos and darkness and America's boasted Christian civilization is but a miserable farce—a mockery and a name. CRIME AND CRIMINALS. Poor old Tennessee! It is hers to hang her head and weep for shame for the seemingly checkless wave of crime that is sweeping over her. The majesty of the law has been set aside and anarchy and terrorism reign supreme in some sections within her borders. Robespierre, with his ragamuffins of Paris, created the French Reign of Terror, which made France howl. There are those in the old Volunteer State who are bringing every passing day by their bold deeds of lawlessness a deeper and deeper blush of shame to her cheeks. So bold and defiant have these modern-day terrorists become, the question rises involuntarily in the mind of every law-abiding and peace loving citizen, Where is the end and when? The present conditions in certain localities of the state are tense and serious. It cannot be that those who compose the lawless elements are in the majority in this great Commonwealth. Are their methods of intimidation and threats of assassination and assassination to subdue into submission constituted authority? Has established authority reached its highest usefulness and begun a retrograde movement toward barbarism and chaos? Crime is crime and criminals are criminals, and if the well-known axiom is true, that things that are equal to each other are equal to the same things; then it is true that criminals who do the same thing are equal to each other. If one man kills another, and then a gang takes and kills him without authority of law, does it not stand to reason that they are all equally guilty? There is no neutral ground where orderly citizens can stand still and look on silently and passively at those whose crimes and defiance of law amount to open rebellion to recognized authority, without allowing universal shame being heaped upon the entire state. A BELATED WAIL The New York Age took exceptions recently at what President Roosevelt had to say with reference to cutting Southern representation in Congress. The President said recently, for the benefit of the South, that any man here who even imagined that the South's representation would in any way be endangered on account of its political attitude toward the Negro, was greatly lacking in information. The Age doesn't like this at all. It can't digest it with good grace, and in the face of its late preachments in support of the Roosevelt policies, it does seem a bit hard on our esteemed contemporary. It is a belated wall, which now for all intents and purposes, may as well be howled out on the desert air. The day of grace is past, and there remains naught to do now but for The Age to take the medicine portioned out, grit its teeth and try to endure the effects of it. That the President is immune to anything that materially and vitally affects and advances the manhood and constitutional right of the colored man, is so plain that it is, so to speak, palpable. He sacrifices to his overweaning ambition and stubbornness the rights of the men who had been his saviors. How is it that The Age can, in the face of his past record, find in his late spoutings such cause for complaint? The Roosevelt that entered the Spanish-American War is not the Roosevelt whose head has been turned by popular applause, and especially a whoop that has at times come from a certain section of this country. In conclusion, let us say that if we could in any way console and give comfort to our contemporary, and it would be acceptable, gladly would we do so. FISK-MEHARRY GAME. The great football game which occurs annually between the rival teams of the two well-known universities, Walden and Fisk, was played on Bennett Field, Fisk's campus, before a vast and magnificent concourse of people Thursday afternoon. This game always brings out the football enthusiasts and those who go because it is in order to go. They were all there to witness the game, as it was given out that it would be the final annual struggle upon the gridiron between the two old rivals. The cohorts of the Crimson and Black and the Gold and Blue were present to give their respective favorites their best and last support, and cheer them on to victory. It was expected to be a trial between Titans or a meeting of Greek and Greek, where tactical skill, fleetness and generalship would be pitted against each other. And so it was. For a while Dame Fortune, it seems, was undecided upon whom to bestow the meed of favor, but finally she stepped to the side of the warriors of the Gold and Blue and encircled their brows with the wreath of victory. Thus ended the last and one of the greatest and most stubborn football contests between these two teams ever witnessed upon beautiful and historic Bennett Field. Now that Thanksgiving is over, the next thing in order is Christmas. Prospectively speaking, there is always an occasion of magnitude ahead—an aching, tantalizing, seemingly far away void that is yet to be filled. This pleases the grown-ups as well as the little ones, so life and the jolly old world trip lightly on their way. It will be a glorious and welcome day when the ordinance, against spitting on the sidewalks goes into effect. It would be one of the most practical safeguards to public health and would insure a more cleanly appearance to that portion of the thoroughfares used by pedestrians. Most of the large Southern cities have ordinances against promiscuous expectorating upon the sidewalks, and Nashville should not procrastinate any longer in this respect. Representative Brownlow, familiarly known as the "easy boss," is to be the dispenser, it is said, at the political pie counter for Tennessee. He is a personal friend of President-elect Taft and had no qualms or hesitancy about climbing into the Taft bandwagon at the first when the band began to play. Hale, Newell Sanders and Evans must undergo the excruciating ordeal of seeing their old archenemy Brownlow hand out the political pudding. They will be held in abeyance until he feels inclined to be charitable enough, after his clansmen have feed to the full, to dispense among their followers a few of the remaining crumbs. Thanksgiving day broke clear and springlike in its beauty and made every one feel like turning unstinted thanks to the Giver of all good. Morning services were observed in many of the churches, and this was as it should be. While there have been experiences in the lives of us all during the past twelve months which did not harmonize with our cherished hope, yet we were the recipients of infinitely more blessings than what from our finite view we considered disappointments or frustrations of our desires. Therefore, we should have been deeply and sincerely grateful for the thousands of favors that have been ours. Weather such as has prevailed during the fall in this locality has hardly an equivalent fellow in the memory of any now living. One long, ideal autumn has smiled her sweetest blandishments and coquetted in her sweetest way. The gobblers which scampered off to the tall timber, the great uncut, are probably debating the wisdom of returning now remaining in their present quarters until after the Xmas season has past. WILLIAMS—EWING On Wednesday night, Nov. 18, the spacious auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E. Church was filled with an expectant throng to witness the nuptials of Miss Mary Ewing and Mr. W. H. Williams. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. H. Boone. Promptly at 8 o'clock Mrs. M. A. Saunders struck the chords of Mendelssohn's wedding march and the bridal party entered. The ushers were Drs. J. H. Hale and R. S. Washington, Messrs. Armstrong and Thos. Ewing. Then came the groommen and bridesmaids, Mr. L. P. Richardson, Miss Carrie Page and Mr. Thos. Watkins, Miss Jeffie Church. Then the groom and best man, Mr. Douglass Johns. The matron-of-honor, Mrs. Armstrong, came alone; she was followed by little Miss Vivian Holland carrying an immense basket of pink carnations. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her uncle, Rev. M. C. Church. She wore a gown of white duchesse satin, trimmed in bits of rare lace. Her veil was caught up with orange blossoms, and she carried a bride's bouquet of white chrysanthemums, mixed with maiden-hair fern. The groommen were dressed in the usual wedding attire, Prince Albert coats, white waist-coats and ties. The maids wore beautiful white lingerie gowns made with the princess effect, and carried white chrysanthemums and pink carnations. The bride and groom were the recipients of many useful and costly presents, which were displayed at their residence on the corner of Lea avenue and Sixth avenue, South. The guests repaired to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Caruthers, where they were served an ice-course in the beautiful dining-room of this home. The bride's table stood in the center of the room with an immense pyramid of white chrysanthemums banked in the center and four silver candles with pink shades stood at each corner. DEVINS—KEEBLE Wednesday night, November 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis K. Thomas, the marriage of Mrs. Isabella Keeble, sister of Mr. Thomas, to Mr. Henry A. Devins took place. Rev. T. W. Haigler performed the ceremony. The rooms were nicely decorated and brilliantly lighted. After the ceremony, ices were served. Mr. and Mrs. Devins received many handsome presents. They will reside for the present at 925 Jackson street. ANNOUNCEMENT. The engagement and approaching marriage of Miss Lavynia P. Harding to Mr. Wm. F. Robertson was announced to a few of her friends at a luncheon given by Miss Katherine M. Dalton, Sunday afternoon at her residence, 56. Seventh street. The marriage will take place at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Harding, on Dec. 2nd at their residence 5311-2 Howerton Avenue. PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS PERFECT STATE ORGANIZATION. As predicted last week the meeting of representatives of the Primitive Baptist churches of Tennessee completed their labors which resulted in the organization of a state organization. The state was very generally represented, and great interest was manifested in the deliberations. The next meeting will be held in this city in November, 1909, beginning on Friday before the first Sunday in the month. (Special Staff Correspondent.) Through a call by Deacon J. L. Douglas, the elders, deacons and delegates from the Primitive Baptist churches of the State of Tennessee, Kentucky and a part of Alabama were called to meet at St. Ell Baptist church November 13, for the purpose of effecting a District Convention The object in organizing this Convention was to bring about more unity among the churches and to erect a home for the elder Elders, delinquent members, and orphans of this denomination.

Helen of Troy May Have Eaten Them —Nero imported Them. "The oyster is the key to that paradise called appetite." That's what Prof. John R. Philpots says, and he knows more about oysters than all the shuckers from Chesapeake Bay to Cotuit. Just why we think of oysters as a modern dainty it would be hard to tell, but probably half of the men and women who scan the oyster section of the bill of fare do cherish that delusion. Nevertheless in Nero's time millions of bushels of oysters were eaten annually in Rome. But even Nero becomes an object of pity to the American when we read that the best oysters he had to eat were imported from Britain. Probably the Roman Emperors had the same delusion that we have. They doubtless considered that in providing an oyster course at their banquets they were bringing their menu strictly up to date. They didn't know that in primeval times the oyster shucker was an important personage. This must have been so, for in the remains known as kitchen middens in Denmark there are thousands and thousands of oyster shells bearing evidences of having been artificially opened. Not only that, but Dr. Schliemann in his search for the ancient city of Troy found oyster shells in the ruins of the prehistoric settlements of Hissarlik. A writer in the National Magazine says that the oyster is vaulable not so much for its nutritive qualities—and these must not be underestimated by any means—as for "its peculiar condimentality and its ready diges- JUST THE THING FOR YOU, tibility." For the invalid it is especially vaulable, for it is the only known food that will not at some time or another nauseate the patient, being unquestionably the most easily digested of all animal foods. Some reputable physicians, however, have maintained that the use of the oyster should never be permitted any diabetic patient. The Lancet, the most influential medical organ in Great Britain, disagrees with this. It says: According to our analysis the amount of liver sugar in the oyster was very small, and certainly considerable less than half that found by previous observers. We made a number of experiments on this point and in no instance did the amount of glycogen in the raw oyster exceed 1 per cent. "A further examination of the organic portion of the oyster revealed the presence of glycero-phosphoric compounds, which are now used in medicine in the form of lecitine and of the glycero-phosphates of the alkaline metals for the purpose of improving the general nutrition of the nervous system. "The results on the whole show that although the actual amount of nutritive material in a raw oyster is small, yet this material comprises all classes of food substances, namely, proteid, carbohydrates, fat and certain mineral salts. Moreover, the flesh of the oyster undoubtedly contains these substances in a peculiarly assimilable form. "Apart from the extreme delicacy of the oyster and from its peculiarly appetizing flavor there are we think reasons on purely dietetic grounds why attention should continue to be given to the cultivation of the oyster, which, as the foregoing results indicate, is an excellent article of food."

Among the many entertainments of the Fisk Literary Club none has been more successful or more delightful than that held at the home of Mrs. Eugene L. Price and Miss Olive J. Lischey, Saturday, November 21. The house, which is beautiful in all of its appointments, was profusely decorated with potted plants and yellow chrysanthemums; the dining-room being especially attractive with its plaque of chrysanthemums and ferns. Streamers of gold and blue hung from the chandeliers, and were artistically entwined among the flowers. The meeting was more in the nature of a reception to the club, so business was dispensed with, and the following program rendered: Instrumental solo ..... Miss H. E. Caruthers Prayer ..... Miss B.

She spoke of the habits and customs of the Turks, and made her audience feel that it is indeed a blessed privilege to live in a Christian land. She also sang two touching songs, assisted by her little daughter, Ruth. Mrs. Phillips' paper was much enjoyed, as she gave a description of her Western trip. One felt as though ascending the Rockies with her, or gazing with rapture upon the placid waters of the great Pacific, so graphically was each scene pictured. Miss Ballentyne brought greetings from the faculty of Fisk and encouraged the members to continue the work they are striving to do. The musical numbers were all --- EISK LITERARY CLUB.

ROCKEFELLER GAVE ONE-FOURTH OF THE $100,000 WHICH THE EDIFICE WILL cOST — MR, ROOSEVELT AD- MONISHES THE NEGRO TO IN- DUSTRY AND THRIFT. ‘ence of President Roosevelt at the laying of the corner-stone at the home for the colored Y, M. C, A, made the event a most notable one among the colored people of the Dis- trict. of Columbia. Although the weather was not suited to an out- of-door ceremony, the attendance was large, including not only a great gath- ering of colored residents, but many distinguished officials of the Federal and local Government. The President was the principal speaker of the occasion. He appeared at the site of the proposed $1/0,000 building at Twelfth street, between S and T. Streets. within a few min- utes of the time set for the beginning of the ceremonies, 2 p. m. He was given cheer after cheer, K. J. Morton, President of the col- ored branch of the Y. M, C. A., pre- sided, ‘Twenty-five thousand dollars of the money for the construction of the building was given by John D, Rocke- feller, the remainder of the cost of ‘the structure being raised from Sons the colored people in the Dis- trict, The President said in part: PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. “Already the colored Y. M. C. A. has ua membership in thi§ country of near- ly 10,000, 5,000 belonging to the thir- ty-seven city Associations, and 5,000 to the student organizations. Of the $30,000 spent last year for the current expenses of the thirty-seven city As- sociations, three-fourths were paid by colored men. It is noteworthy that of the 19,000 colored men attend- ing the colored colleges of this coun- try, that half are active members of the Y. M. C, A. This speaks well for the spirit of these colleges, and gives us hope and encouragement for the character of the leaders of the col- ored race in the future. Over 4,600 volumes were circulated last year from the as yet limited number of col- ored Y, M. C. A, libraries. Model for Others, “I cannot too heartily commend the action of those colored men who are responsible for the starting of this building. When completed it will be a tribute to the advancement of the colored race; and also a monument to the advancement of the city of Wash- ington. It will be a model for the entire country; it will influence other cities; ‘and it affords an excellent op- portunity for both white and colored men to join in the work of uplifting a class that sorely needs aid. The colored man who builds that which improves and beautifies tie city earns the right to the respect of his white neighbor, and benefits himself in a double way. I hope that the colored men will contribute freely toward this building, and I hope that their white friends will help them also. Such a building as this means the improvement in morality, in Christi- anity, in education, of the colored sitizens of Washington, and therefore it concerns not only the colored peo- ple of Washington, but the white necple also. Two Examples. “Let me mention a couple of cases in which colored men haye contrib- uted largely to work of this nature. \ colored man, born a slave in Knox- ville, Tenn., was so much impressed with the value of the Y. M. C. A. yer’ smong white young men that he gave a piece of property costing $2000 to the colored Young Men's Christian Association. He has the honor of having given the largest gift up to that time of any individual in ihe State of Tennessee, regardless of ‘color, to the Association movement. “Another colored man, who was ‘born on the gold coast of Africa, came to this country at an early age, was befriended by the Philadelphia Y, M. C. A. ané by the use of their library prepared for a competitive examina- tion, entered the University of Penn- sylvanie after winning the prize, re- coived his education, end is to-day a very successful physician in the city of Portsmouth, Va.. gave $500 to the hetldine fra of their association a year ago. He also gave $100 for cur- rent expenses the first year the asso- ciation employed a Secretary, and says: “The reason I make these gifts is because I owe all I am to the Young Men’s Christian Association.’ Better than Policeman. “Many other cases might be cited showing how this work appeals to reputable colored men in many sec- tions of the country. There is pos- sibly nothing needed worse in all our cities and towns than well-organized Young Men's Christian Asociations Which shall stand for character build- ing in the three-fold way in which the Y. M, C. A, endeavors to do its work, It pays far better to support the Sec- retary of the Y, M. C, A. in a com- munity than to pay the salary of a policeman, Hmes are made safe and the community is lifted to higher lev- el by lifting these young men to bet- ter ideals of lite. Race Problem, “What is known as the race prob- lem is one of the most difficult; and it exists in the North as well as in the South. But of one thing we can rest assured, and that is that the only way in which to bring nearer the time when there shall be even an approximately fair solution of the problem is to treat each man on his merits as a man, He should not be treated badly because he happens to be of a given color, nor should he re- receive immunity for misconduct be- cause he happens to be of a given col- or, Let us all strive according to our ability and as far as the condi- tions will permit, to secure to the man of one color who behaves up- rightly and honestly, with thrift and with foresight, the same opportunity for reward and for living his life un- der the protection of the law and without molestation by outsiders, that would be his if he were of an- other color. The avenues of employ- ment should be open to one as to the other; the protection of the laws should be guaranteed to one as to the other. Each should be given the right to prove his life and work what his capacities are, and should be judged accordingly. Hach is entitled to the reward which he legitimately earns if he behaves well; each should be judged with the same severe impartiality if he behaves ill. Negro’s Progress. “T want to call your attention and the attention of all who care to lis- ten to me to the noteworthy record of the town of Mound Bayou in Mis- sissippi, I stopped at Mound Bayou a year ago while going through, Mis- sissippi. Twenty years ago the place was all wilderness. Now a thriving and prosperous town has been built, with a thriving and prosperous coun- try round about; and every man in the town, every man m the country round about, is a colored man. In the Planters’ Journal of Mempais, Tenn., a white man’s paper, there is a description in an issue of a couple of years ago of Mound Bayou under the heading of ‘The Most Remarkable Town in the South.’ This paper de- scribes how the town has been found- ed, populated and managed purely by men of the Negro race. It is a thriv- ing, growing town of 2,000 people. There is not a saloon nor a vicious resort of any kind in the town. ENTERTAINED.

Mrs. Virginia Broughton delivered an able address Sunday night on woman's work. She showed that it was a potent factor in the advancement of Christianity and civilization. The audience was delighted with the address and listened with fixed interest. Many expressed themselves as being benefited. The pastor, Rev. G. B. Taylor, followed with appropriate remarks. The Woman's Missionary and Educational Society will meet Thursday, December 3, at 4 p. m. Business of importance will be transstoted. Membehs and friends are earnestly requested to be present. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1908 MEHARRY NOTES. The three senior classes have elected their orators for "Class Day" exercises, which will occur during the Christmas week. From the Pharmaceutical Class, Mr. D. P. Peterson, of Pearlington, Miss.; from the Dental Class, Mr. M. L. Irving, of Kansas City, Mo.; from the Medical Class, Mr. I. H. Hampton, of Fayetteville, Tenn.; historian, Mr. S. V. Roberts, of West Point, Miss.; prophet, "Mr. S. E. J. Watson, of Leland, Miss. Further notice will be given of the exercises Drs. McMillan, Boyd and Stewart performed an operation this week at Mercy Hospital, removing a growth from the abdominal cavity, one of the rarest in the line of surgery. Some discussion arose as to the exact nature of the growth, whereupon a specimen was submitted to the histological laboratory for a complete examination, the result of which is being anxiously awaited. Too much cannot be said for the nurses at Mercy Hospital; the patience, excellent treatment and faultless cleanliness which greets you on every side speaks volumes, not only for the training, but also for the individual characteristics of the person. Miss Minnie White, of Augusta, Ga., is the head nurse and is the right person in the right place. She has been recently connected with Lincoln Hospital, of Philadelphia, and is well fitted for her position. There is a movement on foot among the senior classes to give a concert in the near future which promises to be unequalled in point of interest and entertainment. The public will be duly notified of the date and nature. And now comes the last game of the season, Meharry vs. Fisk on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, November 26, upon Bennett Field. There is some talk of the football relations between Meharry and Fisk being severed. If this be necessary then let the game be a brilliant one from every point of view. And may the best team win, regardless. Rev. T. J. Townsend, of the Spruce Street Baptist Church addressed the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday, November 22nd. He took for his subject, "The Echoes of life," upon which he discoursed very interestingly and instructively. Prof. O. E. Brown, of Vanderbilt Theological Department, will address the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, November 29th at 3:30 in the Meharry Auditorium. The public is cordially invited. We regret to report the death of Mr. Lafayette Jamieson, of Selma. Ala. He was a member of the freshman pharmaceutical class of '07. He died of tuberculosis. Dr. W. A. Thomson, A. B., of the class of '03, visited Meharry during the past week and reports a large, successful practice at Chattanooga. Dr. E. E. Nesbit, of Memphis, Tenn., of the class of '03, brought over a patient to Mercy Hospital to be operated upon. Dr. Nesbit holds the chair in Ophthalmology, rhinology, otology and laryngology in the West Tennessee Medical College located at Memphis. We are pleased to have as one of our visitors, Miss Maude Roberts, who is spending Thanksgiving in Nashville as the guest of Miss Alberta K. Davis, 4 Garden street. Miss Roberts, it will be remembered, is one of the graduates of Walden University literary department. She spends three or four weeks in the city. A NOBLE YOUNG MAN. The Brother of a Most Loving Sister —What He Did For Her. A few days ago two children were seen walking down Fourth Avenue, North, in the direction of the Nashville Globe office. They were engaged in what seemed to be a very earnest conversation. So interested were they in each other, that they paid little attention to passers-by, and no attention whatever to several persons who watched them with adminarion and interest. The boy was being led by the girl, it seemed, to some point of interest close at hand. They were walking rather briskly, and the girl's face gleamed with the carnessness of her conversation, while the boy was giving his very best attention to what seemed to be a description of something. The girl was about 8 or 9 years of age; the boy appeared to be between 11 and 12. Finally they were seen to stop in front of the Globe office, at 447 Fourth avenue, N., where there are two unright show cases filled with Negro dolls. The little girl, with all the affection of a child, led the boy up to the show case and pointed out to him the various styles and sizes of Negro dolls. A passer-by overheard the following remarks from the girl: "Aren't they beautiful, just too sweet for anything. There is a small one dressed just like a baby; and, O, there is another one dressed in the cutest white Buster Brown, and look, another dressed in blue. But, O, look at the lady doll with the lovely pea-green dress. How I would like to own that one. If I only had that great, big doll for Christmas, I would be so happy. I wish old Santa Claus would bring me that doll, but then we are too poor to get such an expensive one." All of this time it was observed that the boy made no reply. He simply looked on seemingly with amazement. Finally, the children were seen to disappear, going in the direction of Jo Johnston Avenue. Several days later a boy plainly clad entered the Globe office and inquired of the price of the big doll in the show case. He was informed that the doll cost $6.25 and that it cost $2.00 to dress it, which would bring the price up to $8.25. This did not seem to surprise him. He then related to the clerk in the Globe office that his sister had admired the doll and that he was determined to buy it for her for Christmas. He asked if he could pay something on the doll each week until it could be paid for. When he received an answer in the affirmative, he drew from a trouser pocket 75 cents, saying, "Please take 75 cents as the first payment. I shall call each week and give you something until the doll is paid for." He is a noble boy. He walked out of the office with all the earnestness and filled to overflowing with joy, that he was able to work and pay for this beautiful Negro Doll for his sister's Christmas present. It developed that the boy is working for a small weekly salary and at the same time going to chool. He is not over 12 years of age and that it was he and his sister who were seen in front of the Globe office admiring those dolls. Such devotion for a sister is seldom seen among boys, but there are hundreds of such case in Nashville that will correspond with the narrative just related. REPUBLICANS GAIN TWO COUN- TIES. San Antonio, Tex., —Complete returns from the recent election shows that the entire state of Texas is not overwhelmingly democratic, neither has it given the democratic ticket of the state a majority by counties. This county, Bexar, in which San Antonio is located, went republican by a majority of 1800. They elected a republican representative and state senator. San Antonio is the metroplis of the state, hence, much significance is given these results. The county republican organization worked in harmony. They received the solid support of the entire Negro vote which is about 1800 in the county. The county representation is about equal at each county convention, but the most surprising result of all was the report from Zapata county, a little south of here on the Rio Grande River. She did not give a single vote to William J. Bryan, the democrat candidate for President nor to Governor Campbell, the democrat candidate for re-election. Thus two of Texas' important counties in the southwest are safe in the republican column and will remain so if a continuance of harmony in the ranks can be had, which can only be obtained by proper treatment. More modes will be made and the democratic majority will be greatly reduced two years hence. There is already a rumor afloat that these districts will send up a republican congressman at the next congressional election. MARRIAGES Henry B. King and Mary Bell Hartsfield.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AT WORK On last Monday night an entertainment of high-class was given at Pleas at Green Baptist Church. This entertainment was worked up by two young sisters of the church assisted by other young ladies and gentlemen. We had a full house and everybody was highly pleased. Sister Ethel Frierson and Estella R. G. Martin have done much good for the church. The young people have done a great deal this year. Their interest and activity in the work which has been done on our church house shows a deep love. Pray for our success. I am yours for His Cause. A FRIEND. THE DEMAND FOR UMBRELLAS.

"You take a bright and sunny and lovely day that promises to stay so and that holds so until along in the afternoon, a day on which the streets and the stores are filled with shoppers, and then let a storm come up, taking people unawares—then we sell umbrellas.

He was playing hard ana desperate, and his gains were well earned, Jack- son of Fisk was also doing some fine work, and his blocking was a thing of beauty. After some exchanges in punts and a few rushes, time was called for the first halp. Score: Fisk, 5; Meharry, 0. During the intermission pandemoni- um reigned supreme. The Fisk ban- ner could be seen everywhere. The supporters of the North-side school sang and yelled as they never did be- fore. Young and old alike rejoiced. Hats and canes were seen playing in the air everywhere. The old Fisk spirit was up again. The team had fought hard; she had out-played Me- harry; she had scored and her sup- porters were giving their appreciation to the deed in yells and song. They seemed to realize what a victory over Meharry meant, and to cheer the boys on to greater and grander work was their one purpose. The Meharry supporters were also out in great numbers and the crimson and black had a strong following. They also sang and cheered for their boys and called to them to play hard They appeared to be ever hopeful and did not give up thinking that Meharry would get to going and win the game. SECOND HALF. + The referee's whistle called the war- riors to battle again. Fisk kicked to Meharry and Johnson received the ball, and by splendid work brought it back 15 yards. Meharry here began to play her old game, and it seemed for a while that she was indeed her- self. She was at this stage playing a great game. Her ends were down the field like a flash, but, after some good, hard line bucking, Fisk began to hold her again, and she had to resort to the kicking game. With the third down and eight yards to gain, she punted. Fisk fumbled and Selby of Meharry got the ball. In the next scrimmage Meharry slipped a man through on a fake and he ran 20 yards for a touch- down, Hurt missed goal. Score: Fisk, 5; Meharry, 5. ‘The Meharry supporters then got in their work and well did they do it. Crimson and black could be seen flying everywhere. The boys from South Nashville had tied the score and the game had, indeed, grown desperate. But Fisk came back strong—she was not going to give up without a struggle. They wore a look of determination, She entered the game with a new spirit. Her backs flew into the line and around the end with the speed and force of a locomo- jive, and it was not long before she had worked the ball back into Meharry terfitory, She began to play more des: prrate, Her playing took on lightning: like speed, her rooters began to cheer and call on them to go home. But Me- harry had also braced and Fisk here found a stumbling block and could go no further. She resolved to try a placement, and, with everything as still as death and the vast throng wait ing to see the results, they dropped back and with the ball on the twenty fiveyard line made one of the best field goals seen here in some seasons Score, Fisk 9; Meharry, 5. Meharry’s sun had set. She had played and lost Her men realized that this play hac won the game. The remainder of th half belonged to Fisk. She had playec one of the best games of her career Meharry was fighting hard, but he team could not stop the fleet backs o the Old Gold and Blue, and time ani again they would break through fo long runs, At last Meharry was abl to hold for downs, but she could no gain. Her team had been outplayec and she was compelled to kick, an here one of the most sensational play of the day was made. Jackson Fisk got the punt and ran 90 yards fo a touchdown. The goal was missec , Score: Fisk, 14; Meharry, 5. = Th remainder of the game was hard an fast, but Meharry could not scor Fisk had completely outplayed then and had won a good game. After few downs time was called, and Fis had won the game. The victory we a well deserved one. Her team ha played hard from the start.

The game was called at 2:30 o'clock p.m, Tus: ‘kegee kicked to Baptist College. The “Tigers” received ‘the ball and re- turned it twenty yards. Tuskegee held them for downs. By cross bucks and end runs and forward passes, she made some progress, Finally A. B. ©. held them for downs and the ball hanged hands. The game was a kick- ing game in the first half. When the Tigers got close enough on the goal, they tried for a place kick, but failed to make it. Both teams were playing hard and fast Lall. There was no scoring in this half. The principle, features of this half were the forward passes of Tuskegee and the tackling of A.. B. C. During the intermission pandemon- jum reigned supreme among the rooters of A, B, C. The Tuskegee rooters were sure then of an even break as both teams seemed equaliy matched. Everybody was at a wonder as to whom the victory would be given. Baptist College was still confident of victory. Not one time did the rooters feel doubtful of victory, but they then knew that it must be dearly paid for. Secon HaLr, This was the half in which all the scoring was done, During the inter: mission Coach Archer told his ma- chine something, at any rate we saw the effects, Tuskegee kicked to A. B. C. and she returned the ball fifteen ads, By straight line plunges, cross pil s, and forward passes, in three minutes Charles Hubert took the pis- skin over for the first down.

The Pearl High School team again demonstrated the fact that it can play some football, when it ran un a scor: of 46 points in Saturday's game against Turner Normal. Tbe game was filled with sensational ‘end runs and long forward passes with an occasional buck through the line for long gains. The boys from Shelbyville were out-lassed in every department of the game and only at times were they able to show anything like football form. They had some good material on hand but did not use it to advantage. The teams were equal- ly matched in weight but Pearl had no trouble whatever in going through the line or around the end. They no doubt have one of the fastest teams seen in action this season, Tuey have everything needed for a good team and the way they use the forward pass is indeed good. We must say for them that they have the best prep team in the state and several members will make stars where they enter college. There was quite a good crowd out to see the game and the songs and cheers from the High School supporters made the boys go at a great clip for this being their last game at home, they wanted to show that they could play the game. Duncan and Upshaw made substantial gains on well executed for- ward passes. Dobson, umpire; Randalls, referee; teenie eta ee ee Pearl. ‘Turner, Duncan ........R. E....... Mitchell Whittaker ......R.

It was the hardest game of the season but should have resulted in a victory for Howard, several bad plays cost- ing them the game. Terry and Allen showed in the limelight and the play- ‘ing of these two stars was the best seen in years. Howard will close her season Thanksgiving with a game with Ky. State University at Wash- ington. sees PEARL VS BURRELL. Special to The Nashville Globe. “Pearl High ‘School defeated Burrell Academy Thanksgiving Day in Flor- ence, Ala, by the score of 29 to 12 The game was a fast, snappy one, and the boys from Nashville showed that they, were the masters of the situa- tion’ at all times. ‘Their playing was of that high standard that has won for them all season, Their long end runs and forward passes could not be stopped, and when they got to going they ran away with the game. Bur- rell has a strong team, but they could not stop Pearl. Her backs would rip through for long gains, while the ends had no trouble in receiving the for- ward pass. Prof. Cameron has a great team, and too much cannot be said about the boys. ‘They have gone through the season with a grand rec: ord—one that any team would be proud of, and it is not saying toc much when they are called the cham pion prep. team of the state. And when it is remembered that they are all young and have yet to begin thelt college work, one can see nothing but stars for some university. The team arrived Friday in good spirits anc bright prospects for next season. Se NEW BUILDING FOR HOWE. According to an invitation which had been accepted some time ago, Rey, C. H. Clark will go to Memphis Tenn., to take part in the laying of the corner-stone of a new building for the Howe College. This school is fast coming into prominence.

A list of the ‘names of every man from the Fourth District who registered at the hotel here yesterday for dinner was secured, and this will be used in ferreting out those who were connected with the mob. Cheek Burrus, father of Richard Burrus, the dead deputy, and Taylor Hall, brother of John Hall, the wound- d deputy, were not in the mob. The former went to his home soon after talking with Gen, Caldwell, and the [later was standing on the main street | talking to a number of other men at the time the mob went to the jail and took possession of the negroes.

Rogan at Union City and instructed him to secure @ special train and go at once with a de- tail of twenty-five soldiers to the as- sistance of Sheriff Haines. This spe- cial reached Tiptonville at 12:30 o'clock in the morning. Previous, however, to this order Sheriff Haines had notified Maj.

Union City, Tenn., November 25.— The order directing and ordering the soldiers from Fort Rankin last night to proceed to Lake County was after- wards countermanded, and thirty sol-’ Giers from here were sent to Lake County on a special train last night, leaving here about 8 o'clock. They, to- gether with another company of sol- Giers ordered by the Governor from Memphis, arrived at the scene of the hanging about 11 o'clock, but too late to save the three negroes, who had been hung and shot some time before the arrival of the soldiers.
