THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. INITIAL EFFORT BESPEAKS A BRILLIANT FUTURE—SERMON WELL RECEIVED BY CRITICAL AUDIENCE—THE WALDEN GLEE CLUB RENDERED SOME BEAUTIFUL AND MOST APPROPRIATE SELECTIONS FOR THE OCCASION. The climax of Thanksgiving week, which was so generally observed in this city, was the services at Jackson Temple C. M. E. Church on Church street viaduct last Sunday. The services were chronicled far and wide, being the most widely circulated event of the whole week, the occasion was the initial appearance of Mr. Charles Henry Phillips, B. P., M. D., who preached his maiden sermon to the most appreciative audience ever given a young man in the city of Nashville. Long before 11:00 o'clock scores of friends, admirers and acquaintances came to the church from every section of the city. Many of the churches missed very much their usual large number of young members on this occasion. This young minister and the fact that he was to appear completely overshadowed the other attractions. It was exactly 11:00 o'clock when the choir of Jackson Temple began their song services. Rev. Amos then announced the services for the day. The Walden Glee Club sang beautifully, "Abide with me," with variations. Rev. Amos then introduced the speaker, who took his text from the 1 Corinthians 9:16, 11—"Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward." He announced that the subject of his text would be "The Gospel Ministry." He took his text, he said, from the Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the Corinthians, as it came near picturing his condition, his thoughts and his determination. He had a very good audience before him and as he began his discourse, the most marked attention was given every utterance. His delivery was clear and his discourse logical. He reached climax after climax, and, above all, he claimed the undivided attention of the entire audience. It was a mastery effort, an occasion to be remembered, for its pathetic and soul-stirring force was seen on all sides. The young people showed their willingness to accept the Christian religion and the admonition from the speaker was well received. There was evidence conclusive that the young people were not hardened sinners and that they reversed and respected the faith of their mothers and fathers. Dr. Phillips appealed to the very inmost nature of each of the young people present. He succeeded admirably in driving home the essential points in his discourse. The approval of the effort was doubly expressed from many sections of the church. Fervent "amens" and "God help the young man," were heard from time to time. When the sermon was finished, a duet, "Come close to the Savior," that gave an idea of the sweetness of heaven's music, was sung by Mrs. M. T. Bentley and Miss Annie Miller, and there was not a dry eye in the audience as it brought a tear from the hardest heart. Miss Mary Broden presided at the organ and the music from the instrument, with the voices of the ladies, made a harmony that has not been heard in Jackson Temple before. After this the choir song and an offertory was taken and the benediction pronounced. Many friends congratulated Dr. Phillips upon his initial appearance and wished him much success. THE A. M. E. MINISTERS' UNION. The A. M. B. Minister's Union met in the office of St. John Church at 10 a. m. Rev. I. J. Edwards, President, in the chair. Rev. A. Brooks conducted the devotional exercises by having the brethren read in concert NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1908. Acts 1:1-15, and singing, "I love thy kingdom, Lord," after which a most fervent prayer was offered by Rev. W. C. Henderson, District Evangelist. "Gloria Patra," was pathetically and sweetly sung, and at this point Rev. Edwards remarked that "I feel more like going forth in the Lord's vineyard and laboring for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit than ever before. Let us be true to God and our calling and set Nashville on hallowed fire. I believe that great good is being accomplished. Let us continue to pray that the Holy Spirit may be with us, and let us take the Bible, God's word, with us, and be clothed with the Holy Spirit, and success will be ours. Right will triumph, since God is right." The minutes of the previous session were read and approved. Rev. Wm. Flagg, D. D., read his paper; subject, "Regeneration." The paper showed deep thought and research, and was discussed by Dr. T. W. Haigler, Rev. J. T. Gillmore, D. D., Rev. A. Brooks and Rev. I. J. Edwards. Finally it was adopted and ordered given to the press. The following churches were reported: St. Paul, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D.

CLARK, OF NASHVILLE, PRINCIPAL SPEAKER—SPLENDID EFFORTS TO BUILD DOMITORY—TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED DURING THE YEAR—PRESIDENT FULLER AND FRIENDS OF INSTITUTION DUE MUCH CREDIT. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 30:—Yesterday was a memorable day in the religious and educational circles of this city. All day long prominent divines and laymen with hundreds of visitors were seen winding their way to the First Baptist Church where services were to be held. A special program was prepared for the laying of the cornerstone of the new girl's dormitory of Howe College at 3:00 o'clock. Practically every church in the city dispensed with their services at this hour in the interest of Howe. Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist Church, and chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Nashville, was the principal speaker. He preached the sermon for the corner-stone laying, making an eloquent appeal to the Christian ministry and the friends to help in the work of uplifting fallen humanity. There was present the most appreciative audience that has ever come in this church. All of the ministers of the city were present and took part in the services. They not only contributed their presence, but gave liberally in the contribution, thus demonstrating their deep appreciation for such a movement in the interest of education. The churches from Nashville also sent contributions. Just what amount was contributed for the day had not been ascertained up to this morning, but it is expected to go into the neighborhood of $5,000.00. The building, when completed, will cost $10,000, and will stand as a monument of the first actual work on the part of the Negro Baptists of Tennessee. Much credit is given to the president. Rev. T. O. Fuller, D. D., and to his Board for the work they have successfully completed this year, as it was only in the early spring that a proposition was made them by which if they would raise $5,000, they would be given $5,000. Dr. Fuller at once set to work to raise this amount. He canvassed West Tennessee thoroughly. The city of Memphis alone contributed about $2,000. The remaining $3,000 came from various parts of the state and the United States, and, as a result, the erection of the building was begun with the laying of the corner-stone here yesterday. Thus the work accomplished during the year of 1908. The building was not to be begun until the entire $10,000 had been raised. Hence, the corner-tone laying yesterday was the climax of this effort. The president of this school was perfectly happy at the close of the services last night. He wore a look of satisfaction that has not been seen on his face for some months. During the exercises yesterday, the music came in for a large share of the praise. It had been prepared by Miss Lula Hobson, of Nashville, who also directed the singing indications now point that Howe College is destined to be the university of the South so far as Negro schools are concerned. Their enrollment last year numbered seven hundred, which has encouraged the management, the faculty and the trustees so that they are doubling their efforts to get eight hundred for the present session. Memphis has a great institution in Howe College. The building of the school here demonstrates what Neerges are able to do with the educational concerns under their management. ANNA T. JEANES BOARD A special call meeting of the Anna T. Jeanes board is to be held in Washington, D. C., December 9th. This meeting will be an important one as it will be the last meeting of the board for the year. The members of the board come from very nearly every state in the Union. Jeanes see's member, in the person of Mr. J. C. Napier, will leave about December 6th. Just what matters will be taken up could not be learned, but it is generally believed that the distribution of some of the funds is one of the matters that will be discussed at the meeting as quite a number of the rural districts begin their school terms immediately after the holidays, hence, in order to assure a longer session of some of these schools, which generally holds from four weeks to three months, it is thought that the board wants to lengthen out these terms by making special donations. No doubt, Tennessee will be looked after. The personnel of the board seems to guarantee a fair and impartial distribution of these funds irrespective of the section or the people. Each member coming as they do from the different states, will be prepared to tell the real condition that exists in their respective states, and thus, the educational interest will receive another substantial boost. MISS E. B. DELANEY, OF FERNAN- DINA, ELA. On last Friday, Miss E. B. Delaney, of Fernandina, Fla., was in the city. She came here from Chattanooga, Tenn. Her special visit to the city was to make a selection of Negro dolls that are to be used in a fair to be held in Fernandina, Fla., this month. She was en route to Washington, D. C., where she is to hold a series of meetings in the interest of the African schools. Miss Delaney is a returned missionary from Africa and is in the services of the Foreign Mission board of the National Baptist Convention. She is a graduate of Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., and has spent the most of her years in missionary work. She is regarded as one of the best missionaries on the two continents. As a speaker, she is a woman of rare ability. Miss Delaney held some meetings in this city the early part of this year under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary organization, of which Mrs. Flowers is a moving factor. SOUTH NASHVILLE MISSION. The Sunday-school of South Nashville Mission held a social on last Monday night for their Sunday-school scholars. Some very interesting addresses were delivered by the Superintendent. Mrs. M. H. Freeman, and others. The Sunday-school children as well as the older members enjoyed the social to the highest. TO NEGRO TEACHERS OF OKLA- HOMA The old adage, "In union there is strength," was never more applicable than it is to-day. The Reading Circle has for its aim the broadening and deepening of all those qualities which go to make up the true teacher and in so doing it necessarily aids him in all struggles of life. It may be complained that teachers are fearfully under-paid, and are therefore unable to attend the work of this organization. We grant the contention, but how are we to get higher salaries, if not by improving ourselves, showing our real worth and demanding consideration at the hands of our people. This can best be accomplished in the Reading Circle. Then let us unite now—tomorrow we die. We urge as a second reason for taking up this Reading Circle work, that the real leaders of the race are the teachers. Do not look down on your calling as being too low for your qualifications. You may even be below your calling. Labor to make the most of your profession. Some one will take note of your devotion. Men have been called from lowly positions to fill places of high honor and trust. Honor your calling and do not expect the calling to honor you. Neither go about looking for honors. Work. watch. pray. All things come to him who does these things while waiting. We assert again that this end of elevating our calling can best be attained by uniting. The greatest satisfaction and pay that we can possibly get for our work, is the consolation that we have performed our duty in our day and generation. Many people try to live unto themselves. This is impossible. It then becomes our plain duty to help somebody. No one has a greater opportunity to do this than the teacher. Men and women, let us awake to the sense of our duty and privilege. Look out upon the field, it is white to harvest. Drive in the sickle. Do not be content till you know you are doing effective work and thus transmitting something worthy of the heritage of the next generation. We are pioneers in this work. Let us lay a broad foundation, but remember the adage, "In union there is strength." Yours for the greatest good. W. P. Cowan. President. Northeast District. ALL DAY CROWDS WENDED THEIR THEIR WAY TO THE BASEMENT AUDITORIUM TO PARTAKE OF APPETIZING VIANDS AND DELICACIES—THE CHURCH'S EFORTS TO ENTERTAIN ITS FRIENDS A SUCCESS — EVERYBODY SEEMED THANKFUL There was a real old-time Thanksgiving dinner at Mount Olive Baptist Church on Thanksgiving day. The dinner began at 11:30 a. m. and continued to 3:00 p. m. A most sumptuous repast had been prepared by the general manager, William Young, and his associates. He had gathered a committee of sixty members from the church. Each committee was composed of ten members, with a chairman for each committee. Mr. Young was ably assisted by the church clerk, Phil Douglas, and by Rev. Dr. Clark, the pastor. More than twenty turkeys, ten opossums, besides a large amount of other choice and toothsome food were consumed during the day. The waiters from the Duncan and other hotels dined at the church. There was a vast throng that came in one steady stream during dinner hours to get a taste of the old-time Thanksgiving dinner. It can be said that this year the Thanksgiving entertainment scores its greatest success, both in point of attendance and in finances. The tickets for the dinner were dispensed at 25 cents each. The same ticket admitted one to the musical concert at 8 p. m., which closed a most enjoyable, thankful Thanksgiving and thank-offering for the day. A full report of the occasion could hardly be published as many of the committees had not reported, but General Manager Young states that the entire entertainment was a success. THANKSGIVING DINNER A Thanksgiving dinner was given by Mrs. Mary A. Scruggs, of Jim Town, in the honor of Dr. White, Miss Bass, Mr. and Mrs. Sublett, of Murfreesboro.

Taylor, preached an excellent sermon in which he set forth the origin and meaning of Thanksgiving Day and emphasized the necessity of giving thanks to God daily. The attendance was good. A very impressive service was held Sunday 11 o'clock. The sermon by the pastor from Matthew 7th chapter was a conscience-searching one. The B. Y. P. U. was well attended. The topic "What can I do for my church and the spread of God's cause?" was thoroughly discussed. KNOX INSTITUTE BAZAAR Among the schools that seem to be making preparations for the holidays is the Knox Institute, of Athens, Ga. This school is under the auspices of the American Missionary Association and they propose to have what is to be known as a doll bazaar. One of the teachers of the school, Miss Cecelia Jefferson, has just been shipped a 15 inch Negro doll from this city. She sent to her brother, Dr. E. B. Jefferson to purchase the doll from the Negro Doll Company. Miss Jefferson aside from being a member of the faculty, is one of the promoters of the bazaar. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES.

One of the most notable events of recent date in Shelbyville, was the football game between Bradley Academy, of Murfreesboro, and Turner Normal College, Shelbyville, on Thanksgiving Day, on T. N. C. campus. A party of twenty-five, including the team, came down on the noon train, and was met by the home boys and a number of the college girls. The game was called at at 2:30. The teams seemed to be pretty evenly matched. Turner College had a slight advantage in weight, while Bradley Academy seemed to excel in skill. Enthuliasm ran high as the game proceeded. Turner's colors were abundant on the field, and the college yells rent the air as the home boys steadily gained ground. The contest resulted in a score of 10 to 5 in favor of Turner. An. entertainment was given at night at the college, when a. lovely program was rendered, and a reception afterwards tendered the visitors. Two faculty members of Bradley Academy, Prof. Aaron Wade, the Principal, and Miss Howland, accompanied the party. They were the guests of the college while they remained.

Remember there are five different sizes. No girl is happier than when she has a beautiful Doll. One of the greatest weekly papers published in the United States, in speaking of these dolls, said: "There is more involved than appears on the surface in encouraging Little Negro Girls to clasp in their arms pretty copies of themselves. The white race doesn't monopolize all the beauty and lovableness and it will be a happy day when this is realized." Rev. James Myers, pastor of First Baptist Church, preached three able sermons Sunday. This being closing rally day for the winter, the Ladies' Club, led by Bro. B. G. Keeble, captured the crown.

MEHARRY NOTES. Thanksgiving services were held at Walden University Chapel during the morning at which some very interesting addresses and music were heard. The reading of the Proclamation by Dr. Jno. H. Kumler, President, was followed by five-minute speeches by Dr. G. H. Hubbard, Bishop I. B. Scott, Mr. S. S. Lawton, of the senior medical class, and Mr. Hugh Johnson, of senior college class. The glee club rendered a beautiful selection and Miss Maude J. Roberts, of Chicago, an alumnus of Walden, sang a solo. The services were very liberally attended. Dr. O. E. Brown, of the Vanderbilt Theological department, who was to have been heard at the Y. M. C. A., will address the young men Sunday, Dec. 6, at 3:30 p. m. The public is cordially invited to attend. Mr. J. J. Creagh, A. B., of Americus, Ga., a member of the Junior Dental Class, was elected a delegate to the Y. M. C. A. annual conference which convenes at Columbus, Ga., December 3 to 6, 1908. Miss Harriet Marble, of Yazoo City, Miss., spent Thanksgiving with us. Miss Marble is a graduate of the pharmaceutical department of Meharry, and has passed a successful examination before the State Board of Pharmacy of Mississippi. Among the visitors during Thanksgiving were a great many of the graduates of the various departments. We saw the following: Drs. R. L. Adams, D. B. Miller, J. L. Defoney, A. N. Kittrell, A. C. McKissack, G. L. Williams, J. D. McNeil, of Memphis, Tenn., Drs. I. S. Cunningham, W. P. Bryant, L. R. Johnson, Jas. A. Evans, M. M. Washington, W. F. Walkins, of Montgomery, Ala., W. T. Durroh and W. K. Wilson of Chattanooga; N. J. Ridley, of Lexington, Ky. Miss Bessie Martin, of Greenville, S. C., spent Thanksgiving with her brother, Mr. E. H. Martin, of the Junior Medical Class. Miss Martin is one of the teachers of Greenville, S. C. The senior classes will give a concert at Meharry auditorium on Friday, December 11, 1908, for which a very elaborate program has been prepared. The exercises, begin at 8 o'clock p. m. sharp. Special pains are being taken to make the entertain- ment both profitable and entertaining. There appeared in the Chicago Conservator, of November 14, the following: "Dr. L. M. Dunton, President of Claflin University at Orangeburg, S. C., and one of the most prominent men in the M. E. Church, came to Chicago, October 26, for the purpose of securing surgical treatment. Some time ago Dr. Dunton discovered that he must undergo a surgical operation. Friends in the connection who knew of his condition, suggested either Roosevelt Hospital in New York, or Wesley Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Dunton declined these suggestions, for he had decided to come to Chicago and place himself under the care of Dr. W. H. Marshall and Dr. D. H. Williams. Arrangements for his admission to Provident Hospital were made by Dr. Marshall and he was operated on Novemeber 3, by Dr. Williams. The operation was successful and he is well on the way to recovery. Dr. Marshall is a graduate of Claflin and Meharry, and one of Chicago's rising young medical men. He is in daily attendance upon the distinguished patient. Intrusting his life in the hands of a colored surgeon, Dr. Dunton has shown a confidence in our professional men worthy of notice by many intelligent Negroes, who so often discredit the ability of their own men, by seeking the services of white doctors." FISK NOTES. Dr. Hubbard, who has for thirty years served as treasurer of the American Missionary Association, preached an able sermon last Sunday. He spent several days of this week at Fisk. Thursday at 10:30 a. m. there was a special service held at the Memorial Chapel. The recital of "Macbeth" by Mr. Charles Burroughs, of New York, was a grand success. A good audience was present. After the Thanksgiving recess the next public event at the University is a Medal Contest. This will be held on Friday, December 4, at 7:30 p. m. in the Memorial Chapel. It is under the auspices of the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the University. The proceeds go for the advancement of temperance work. WANTED — Competent printers.

JOSEPH B. FORAKER. Senator Joseph B. Foraker, who championed the rights of a people who were unable to defend themselves, is still being pursued by the hate of those whose nefarious plans he frustrated. His enemies seek now to destroy him politically. And why? Because he had the courage to uphold the vital and basic principle upon which this government stands, that no man, black, white or otherwise, should be condemned and punished without trial. The head and front of his offending were that he asked that certain charges brought against certain men of a certain color be thoroughly investigated, and that the arbitrary order discharging them dishonorably from service in the army be held in abeyance until the charges against them were established by sufficient and competent proof. Senator Foraker was defending the rights of men who had done him no particular favor, but who had doubtless saved the life of the Col. Roosevelt and made it possible for him to heap upon them humiliation, hardship and injustice. When this man and his command were being cut to pieces by an unseen foe, the men whom he afterward ordered "discharged without honor" on a hearsay complaint, threw themselves in the breach and saved him and his regiment from utter annihilation. They were Negro soldiers who did this, yet, they have no rights, according to his way of thinking, as subsequent actions proved, which he was bound to respect. He, with his political minions, is trying to destroy the defender of his defenders. Charles P. Taft, brother to President-elect Taft, is selected to defeat Senator Foraker for the senatorial seat the latter now holds. We can not tell what the outcome is going to be, but first, last and all the time our sympathies are with the man big enough of soul to do the right because it is right; the man who dared to call to question the unjust procedure of the powers that be; the man who invited the possibility of his political elimination, not because he was insensible of such a possibility, but because he would have rather been right than to have retained his political prestige and remained a coward in is own conscience by side-stepping a conscientious duty to men who were andicapped by their color and who ad no advocate to represent their use. Other ages and other millions of Juteful men and women of the Negro wi on THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1904 race will delight to honor the name of Joseph Benson Foraker. STATE SCHOOL The state of Tennessee should not neglect any longer the establishment of a state school or institution of learning for its colored youth. It is an obligation it owes them. Tennessee is as much able and as morally bound to furnish such an institution as any other Southern state. There is hardly a state in the South but what has made some kind of provision for the educational training of its colored youth. We believe that if the proper steps are taken in this direction something can be done to interest the Legislature which will soon be in session to consider such a project. Thousands upon thousands of dollars go into the state treasury every year which accrue from the taxable property of the colored people. The state would not only be discharging a long deferred obligation to its colored citizenry by giving them a state school, but would be doing justice to those who bear an equal share of the burden of taxation for the support of all the functions of government in a direct ratio of their holdings with any other class of its population, and their holdings, real or personal, are by no means small or insignificant. Let the matter of a state institution of learning for our boys and girls be taken up and pressed with vigor and earnestness. Let us begin now the formulation of plans to accomplish this end. Let the incoming General Assembly be memorialized. Let our claims be set forth in no half-hearted manner, but in an intelligent way that will bespeak earnestness. We should not let this matter of securing a state school for our youth lag. Let us address ourselves to this task seriously as becomes men who know what they want, and work faithfully for its attainment. HAYTI. Hayti is again to the front with a piece of her revolutionary folly which occurs almost invariably after a few years of administration of the government by the successful political party. This method of procedure, this periodical uprising of the "outs" against the "ins," has been the sinister curse of the little republic, the stumbling-block in the pathway of her development. These ever-recurring civil brawls have paralyzed her business, demoralized her people and checked the development of her natural resources. Despite the warnings that her evil course is leading to the loss of her independence and identity and final absorption by the United States, she stumbles blindly on in her mad career to that sure and final effacement. Already is this government being wheedled into a contemplation of such a program by suggestions of the press at home and abroad, especially France and England. And ence her foot on Haytian soil, under any pretext, and Haytii is Haytii no more. The story of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines will be that of the little Black Republic—swallowed up by the giant of the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine precludes any European country absorbing her, and that is why they are clamoring for this country to interfere with the affairs of the island republic. The Negro people of this country are sollicitous about the future of Haytii, owing to impending possibilities. It would be unfortunate that all that was done by Toussaint L'Ouvverture, the great liberator, the man who finally fell the unsuspecting victim of Napoleon's treachery and died of starvation in a French prison, the man whom Wendell Phillips, one of America's noblest sons and greatest orators, delighted to honor by paying his memory one of the most eloquent and eulogistic tributes ever uttered in any language, and that all that was done by the intrepid Jean Jacques Dessalines, the greatest of Haytian leaders, who drove the French from his country, should have been done in vain. President Nord Alexis, the present head of the government, is said to be a tyrant. But if Gen. Simon, who is leading the revolutionary forces, succeeds in taking Port-au-Price, grievously will President Alexis answer for his tyrannies. But, however ends this present civil strife between the opposing forces, we trust it is the last, and we trust that henceforth the Haytian Republic will turn its attention to more peaceful and prosperous employment. Whatever efforts may now be made to discount the prestige made by dashing Phil. H. Sheridan as a soldier are futile, as history has woven its chaplet of renown about his name. It is most human and, therefore, most natural for Gen. Jubal Early, whom Sheridan drove unceremoniously out of the Shenandoah Valley, to speak lightly of the man who vanquished him. Sheridan made it impossible for Early to repeat his visit, as may be inferred from his famous declaration: "If a crow wishes to cross this valley he will have to carry his own rations." It was war and Sheridan simply performed his duty as a soldier. He had to resort to drastic measures to prevent a second raid by Gen. Early, as the people living in the theatre of operations were disposed to be friendly toward him. It is too late in the day to successfully set aside accepted history. Sheridas's name and place in the annals of his country are safe. Recent lawlessness in this state has given rise to the expression of opinion in some quarters that the Constitution in its present form has outlived its best usefulness, and that a Constitutional Convention should be called for a revision, that the criminal laws may be made effectively operative through right methods of procedure and administration. The authorities of the state have had a hard time in the last few weeks to hold prisoners whom they suspected of being implicated in crimes against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth. Owing to the defectiveness of the fundamental law, upon which all other laws are predicated, able and technical lawyers came very near tearing their prisoner-clients from the grasp of the state authorities. The following news item, headed "After White Slave Dealers," appeared recently in a local daily newspaper: Chicago, Nov. 26.—The Chicago Association of Commerce, upon request of United States District Attorney Sims, has decided to lend active aid to the Federal Government in stamping out the "white slave" traffic in this city. Mr. Sims, in a speech before the association, advocated segregation for the social evil. This is reproduced to show that every race has on its hand the problem of moral corruption, and that none should, like the self-conceited and self-exalted Pharisee, stand aloof and point at the other and say with self-adulation, "I thank thee, Lord, that I am infinitely better than yon Publican and have nothing in common with him." Uncle Sam's legal mills have been grinding away for sometime trying to sweat out of it. D. Rockefeller some of his choice information concerning his Standard Oil interests, but the wary old feeder is too shrewd for that. The results of the present investigation will be about as fruitless as that twenty-nine million-dollar fine. Those who were lulled into oblivion and thought by the soft smiles of the beautiful eather which has prevailed so long these parts, that the stern old king, Winter, with his rough and frigid visage, would not put in his appearance, have awakened to a realization of the fact that they, like Rip Van Winkle, have been dreaming. The football enthusiast has yelled his last yell for the 1908 season, and has, like the Arab who silently folded his tent and stole away, gone indoors to hibernate until another season and left the gridiron looking cold, silent and deserted. That the law should be operative in all cases of crime, is not, in any sense JUST ARRIVED Complete Assortment of the Latest Cloth Top Ladies' Shoes in Elephant Grays, Tans, Blacks, Etc.

COMMUNICATION Praise Due Head Nurse at Mercy Hospital. To the Nashville Globe: TO THE NASHVILLE Globe. We cannot praise the head nurse at Mercy Hospital too much. The interest she has taken in the teaching and training of the nurses, she has made wonderful progress, although her stay there has only been short. She is a graduate of Lincoln Hospital, New York City, having taken a postcourse abroad for five years. She is very clever and common-sensed. All admire her for her high idea of nursing. Her plea is for women of a higher education to become trained nurses. We sincerely hope that the management will be able to have Miss White remain with them. All are very much in love with and admire her. A FRIEND. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. Mrs. I. E.

The first semi-annual session of the West Tennessee District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church convened at Sharon, Tenn. November 19-22, 1908, with Rev. J. M. Lyte, B. D., District Superintendent, presiding. The District Superintendent led the devotions, which were very impressive. Drs. H. W. Key, J. P. Price, M. Williams and J. A. Moore conducted the love-feast. The morning session was taken up by short talks from the members of the conference. The Rev. J. A. W. Moore, D. D., of the Mansfield charge, was reelected Secretary, with Rev. N. W. Ware and Miss Lizzie J. Bell assistants. Rev. J. H. Thompson, of Mason, was elected Statistical Secretary, also reporter to The Nashville Globe. The report of the District Superintendent showed that he had entered upon the work of the district with a strong will to leave nothing. The pastors' reports showed that they had ben doing something since the annual conference in October. One great feature of this conference was the strong resolutions offered which showed that the pastors were interested in all the departments of the church. One of the resolutions that was discussed with much interest was one offered by J. H. Thompson, that the West Tennessee District indorse the action of the Annual Conference in raising one dollar per member for Walden University. A subscription was taken amounting to $75 or $100. Rev. J. H. Thompson preached the opening sermon. Interesting sermons were preached by Revs. J. M. Moody, W. L. Johnson, J. M. Morsley, E. J. Redic, N. W. Ware and J. F. Neals. Rev. H. W. Key, D. D., pastor of New Centenary, Memphis, Tenn., reported his work in good shape and that he is expecting great results this conference year. Dr. Key was very active in all the work of the conference. A motion was carried that the district Superintendent carry the question of having one session of the district a year to the quarterly conference and report back to the next district conference. Strong resolutions were offered condemning mob violence, all lawlessness and the great whisky traffic. This conference was to have been held at Brownsville, Tenn., but for reasons best known to the District Superintendent it was moved to Sharon, Tenn. The conference was well cared for and resolutions of thanks were offered for the way the pastor, Rev. W. M. Meals, and the good people of Sharon made it pleasant for the conference. The Sharon choir rendered music which was above the average. Friday night was Benevolent Anniversary, speakers, Rev. M. W. Key, D. D., Rev. Miles Williams, Rev. J. M. Moody and J. R. Alexander. Subject for discussion: "Ministerial support and the Methodist Brotherhood," Revs. C. A. Fields, J. A. Swift, and K. H. Turner. All the pastors were present but four. The next conference will be held at Adams Tenn. Our Holiday Goods Those who are best prepared for the Christmas Holidays are those who prepare for its coming in advance.

ROGER WILLIAMS NOTES. Since the opening, September 29, there has been a gradual increase in our student body from day to day until the number has far exceeded that of last year. Among those who have recently come among us is Miss Cornelia Johnson, of Columbia, niece of our President. Miss Johnson has just closed her first school, which she so very successfully and satisfactorily taught in the community near her home. Mr. — Lender, of Hickman, Ky., who for several months has resided in Nashville, has come to us to pursue a course in this institution. The lecture on "The Relation of Soul and Body, or Character of the Man," by Prof. E. W. Benton, a few days ago, was listened to with much interest and attention. We know the force and eloquence with which Prof. Benton speaks, and as such always expect an interesting treat from him. "Turkey" and "roast" were the watchwords Thursday (Thanksgiving), because both were very much in evidence that day. Besides the arrangements made by the faculty, the affair was augmented very much by the kindness of Mr. W. S. Stark, a former student and resident of this place, who donated us an extra number of turkeys. Thursday evening the school enjoyed its first social for the year, which has been the custom of the school for years. The amount of enthusiasm in our literary and debating society is increasing rapidly and there is seen beneath the surface many orators and literary geniuses. Last Tuesday was the day for the beginning of the brick work on our new dormitory. The President suspended school for thirty minutes and each student was given an opportunity to lay a brick. Everything seems propitious for a very successful year for our school. ENTERTAINS AT "SUNSHINE." Among the many hospitalities of the Thanksgiving season none was more beautiful in its appointments than the reception given by Mrs. Charles Henry Phillips at her home, "Sunshine," 317 Twelfth avenue, North, Saturday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock in honor of her son, Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, Jr., who has just entered the ministry, and came home to preach his first sermon. Potted plants and cut flowers adorned the parlor and library. The table in the dining-room was veiled in American drawnwork, holding silver candelabras with pinks and white tapers, the centerpiece being a silver waiter fringed with maiden-hair fern and a silver pot holding pink carnations surrounded by silver bonbon dishes. Hot chocolate, sandwiches, cream and lady fingers with pink and white mints and salted peanuts were served by the sisters. The guests were Mrs. C. W. Morrow, W. G. Waterman, Dr. and Mrs. H. Noel, Prof. J. P. Franklin, Mr. DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS? DO YOU KNOW THAT COMFORTABLE, CLEAN Durable Seats Are a Guaranty to Large Appreciative Congregations?

Since that time she taught in the public schools of Tullahoma until 1908. Maggie was a kind and devoted daughter and a loving sister and friend. She carried sunshine with her everywhere she went and had a kind word to say to every one she met. "Thou art gone, the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form; Deeply on our hearts nath sunk The lesson thou hast given.

The Greater Nashville Edition of the Nashville Globe, which was published September 4th, is still being praised by those who have seen it from far and near. Mr. Chas H. Conner, of Philadelphia, Pa., writing under date of November 27th says: "I have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of a copy of the Nashville Globe, the issue of September 4th. Please accept my thanks for the same. It almost makes me feel jealous to note the attainment of Nashville. The southern Negro in giving thanks yesterday did not forget, I hope, to give thanks for the race prejudice of the southland. Without it, they would still be nonentities nowhere. They would be as far as possible, living a life of 'innoucous desuetude.' But that does not excuse prejudice any more than salvation excuses the treacherous kiss of Judas by which it was brought about. Men have cast darts by the magic of Divine power and they have been transformed into a shower of blossoms fragrant with latent racial possibilities." PLACARD FROM BUFFALO. A most unique placard was received in this city recently. It came to a newly married couple, addressed to the bride. The pla BANK DIRECTORY.

It was not intended as a wedding present, still the recipients promise to preserve it among the numerous tokens received from their friends. It seems to have been an after thought on the part of the donor. The card is a large white board mounted on the dark background appearing on it in bold face type is the following: "If you want to know who runs this joint, just start something." It was a compliment of one Mr. C. A. Dickerson, of Buffalo, N. Y., who requested when sending it that it be hung in some conspicuous place in the home. He amusingly stated that it might save cups, saucers, plates, frying pans, skilllets, broom sticks, and a broken head for his friend.

On the Corner 5th Avenue & Church Street Prof. Robinson is this season coaching the Howard University football team and has had a very successful season. The team had an extra hard schedule, but has gone through without meeting a single defeat, which speaks well for the ability of the team and shows that Coach Robinson has worked into his men some of the finer points of the game. Howard has without a doubt the strongest team she has had for several seasons. Her backfield is the most powerful scoring device that could be gotten together, and little Barco, the quarter, is a man of wonderful ability and great generalship, having played football at Virginia Seminary and College for years, going from there to Union University at Richmond, Va., and now at Howard gives him a great deal of experience and makes him truly a wonderful quarterback. Then there is Gene Allen, the old Roger Williams star and Atlanta Baptist College man at fullback. No better man ever donned the moleskin. You have but 0 to call his name and the whole South will shy. He is beyond a doubt the best man that ever filled the position. Terry also is at Howard and is playing that same hard game that has made for him everlasting fame. He also is a back that is a wonder, a hard man to stop—can run in a broken field and never lose his head—a sure tackler, can kick the ball by form, placement or drop kick and in fact, has everything needed to make a great player. It was his great work that scored the touchdown for Howard in the Lincoln game at Philadelphia, a thing that Howard has not THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1908. done in 15 years. It was also his wonderful work at defense that kept Lincoln from winning the game, the score being tied, 5—5. Bruer is also another good back. Coach Robinson says he is satisfied with the showing of his team and hopes next season to have the championship team of the East. It will be remembered that Coach Robinson was at one time Coach at Fisk University and to hear of his success gives the Nashville public much joy. Quite a number of football seasons have gone into history, but the season of 1908, which was brought to a close Thanksgiving day stands out as being the most successful in years. The great college sport has been brought to the point where it is not only a game in which strength alone is required, but also one of skill, and with the new rules came a faster game, a more open style of play and one in which the operators could get the fullest benefit. The change has also worked quite a deal of the danger from the game and made it indeed a game of skill and science. The past season, so far s Negro schools in the South are considered, has worked a wonderful change. The teams that in past years have been weak came back this year strong and showed a wonderful knowledge of the new game, and their playing has brought them up to a higher standard. There was in the old days a few schools which always had good teams and these teams would have no trouble in winning from smaller ones, but that has all passed into history, and now the smaller schools and colleges have a brighter chance and often down their larger rivals. This condition has been brought about by the new game, which affords a light, fast teams as much chance to win as a heavier one. The forward pass and outside kick give the lighter teams a means by which they can gain much ground and also score a touch down, which can be done without wearing away the strength of the team and still leave it fresh to meet the attacks of the heavier team. This fact was shown in the Meharry-Fish game, when a light team ran up a score of 14 points against a team that outweighed them at least eight pounds to the man. The change has been a wonderful one and has worked well: it has made the game one in which every one can see the ball all times. While it is a hard thing to say, Nashville can no longer boast of having a championship team. This honor must be accorded to Atlanta, for that city has sent out one of the strongest teams that has ever played on Southern gridiron. Atlanta Baptist College can justly claim the championship of the South, her team having met and defeated every contender for the honors, and without a doubt they have the best team of the season, and have gone through the season with a clean record. Coach Archer has gotten together a team that is hard to beat and one that has every requisite of a first-class team. While we are wishing for them much success, it is hoped that the teams representing the schools of Nashville will take on new life and next sea son win back the coveted prize that now floats over the Gate City. But next season is in the future and for the season of 1908 we must say, All hall Atlanta Baptist College, Champion of the South! J. BLAINE BOYD. Ranking of Tennessee Prep. Teams for the Season Just Past. By J. WYMON BRADY. Pearl High has the strongest Prep. team of the state and may say the South has ever known, and they have a clearer title to the state championship than any other team in the state. Bradley Academy comes second with a very good record, they lost their game to Pearl by a score of 44 to 0 and tied their game with Turner 5 to 5. Pearl downs Turner 46 to 0, and you can see from the season scores that Bradley has a right to second place. Turner comes third. Pearl High is given seven places on Tennessee all-prep team, Bradley Academy is given 4 places on Tennessee all-prep team, but one of the Bradley boys is only used as a sub, that is Lytle, he is running Leach for first honors and it may be said he will be one of the best quarters in the state next season. Turner is given only one place on the team and strength to any team. He is six feet and weighs 200 pounds. He is always in the game. TENNESSEE ALL-PREP TEAM. Right end .....

On Tuesday of this week Coach Giles, of Fisk University, took his 1908 football squad to the city and had their photographs made. Practically every man belonging to the team that had participated in the three leading games of the season constituted the group. This picture when completed will represent the team as it stands this year because on next year at least three of the men will not be with the team as they finish with the class of 1909. Coach Giles, in speaking with a reporter just before going to the photographer, said that owing to the extra preparations made for examinations, the squad had not as yet been able to have the annual election of the officers nor arrange the schedule for next season. This will be taken up early next week. Prof. Giles is a product of the Physical Training Art School of Springfield, Mass. This school makes a specialty of athletics and physical training. That he was a good student and mastered the art was demonstrated Thanksgiving day. Special to the Globe: Florence, Ala., Nov. 2, 1908. — The Burrell-Pearl High School football game, briefly mentioned mentioned in your last issue was the biggest athletic event that has occurred in Florence. A large crowd of spectators came out to Burrell to see the swift team from Nashville stack up against the home boys, and a right good game did they see. The Burrell team of this year was a revelation to the boys from Nashville. If. as was said, last year, they did not know the game as played in these parts, they certainly knew this year. The team averaged about 160 pounds against 135 for Pearl. The backs of Burrell averaged 170 pounds. The whole team showed wonderful improvement, the result of the careful coaching of Prof. White and Mr. Norman. The game opened with High School defending the south goal and kicking. A few short gains, and a fumble led to an exchange of punts, after which by consistent end rushes and tackle plays the Pearl team succeeded in getting the ball over for a touchdown. Soon after this they succeeded in getting the ball on Burrell's 25 yard line. Here a forward pass was made which landed in the arms of Brewer of Burrell who thereupon made a run of nearly 100 yards for a touchdown. He also kicked the goal tieing the score. Pearl came back strong and made another touchdown and kicked goal. Burrell, during the next period of play worked the ball to midfield. Here it was that they completely fooled Pearl by a forward pass to Arm stead who ran 40 yards (being missed by Davis) for a touchdown. Pearl's forward passes, end runs, and line rushes added another touchdown and kicked goal, soon after which time for the half ended. Score: Pearl 18; Burrell 12. During the second half Burrell's line was ripped to a frazzle by Davis, Floyd and Hurt. Two touchdowns were made and when the game ended the ball was on Burrell's one yard line. Score: Pearl 29; Burrell 12. Burrell Pearl Armstead... L E... Upshaw-Duncan Phillips... L T... Summers Davis... L G... Williams Rose... Center... Anderson Glenn... R G... Caldwell W. Brewer... R T...

The boys were royally entertained in Florence their hosts and the citizens in general were very hospitable. Messrs. Washington and Cameron enjoyed a drive with Profs. White and Norman to Sheffield and Tuscumbia on Friday. Too much praise cannot be given the young men of Burrell for their conduct on the football field. No finer exhibition of sportsmanship has ever been seen. It was a hard game without a dispute or an angry word. On train after leaving Florence the High School team elected Ira Davis, the full-back, captain for next year. Leach, the efficient quarterback, was made assistant. Upon reaching Columbia, Mr. Cameron acted as toastmaster and introduced every member of the party who responded with a speech. Having a special coach the boys travelled comfortably and had a good time. In addition to the team, the party included Messrs, Overton Carter, D. Darden, Stanley Cox, Oliver Hambrick, M. E. Jackson. The visitors were entertained in the chapel of Burrell School on Thursday night. A very enjoyable evening was spent with faculty and students of Burrell and citizens of Florence. It was with regret that the boys left Florence. Lookout for the Burrell team next year. It looks like a winner. Pearl closes the most successful season, having scored 131 points against 23 for its opponents. SIX O'CLOCK DINNER. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Armstrong entertained at their home on Fillmore street Sunday with a six o'clock dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Williams, bride and groom of two weeks. At 6 o'clock the guests were invited into the dining-room, which was lighted up brilliantly, making a picture of beauty with its cut glass and silver. In the center of the table was a large glass fruitstand gilded with gold, which was filled with fruit. Covers were spread for tea and an elaborate menu of seven courses was served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Sanders, Misses Lee and S. K. Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong. SOCIAL GATHERING. ON Thursday evening, November 26th, quite a number of young people gathered at the home of Mrs. Laura Brown, 514 Fourth avenue, South.

They are expecting all of their sister Calanthes and brother Knights to be present. IN HONOR OF MRS. DUNCAN. Mrs. Minnie B.
