THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. GOLD WATCH CHARM PRESENTED TO DR. BOYD. SUMPTUOUS REPAST PREPARED — HOLIDAY DECORATIONS USED — ELOQUENT SPEECHES MADE — MASTERFUL EULOGY BY PROF. CRENSHAW — PRESENTATION — HAPPY RESPONSE BY DR. BOYD — FITTING CLOSE. In wishing the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board a happy New Year the mammoth concern stamps itself more indelibly on the minds of all the people. The Baptist Publishing House of this city has from time to time, in more ways than one, been able by such acts to ingratiate itself into the very hearts of the people of this great city. They have by their adherence to strict business methods gone step by step upward until no one in Nashville doubts that the publishing house is a top-notcher, and this is not confined, as would be said, "among the Negroes." It is really one of the leading establishments in the city of Nashville and is so recognized, as they do not half-way accomplish things. This is true in the religious world as well as in the business world. In beginning the New Year the Secretary and Manager, Dr. R. H. Boyd, gave his usual New Year greetings in the form of an annual dinner, a repast that has been served annually for a number of years. Although oft repeated and partaken of by many an employee, board member, and a few citizens, it lost this year none of its real worth and interest. The preparations for the dinner were made last week. It was announced by Dr. Boyd at their morning devotions, on several occasions and all the employees, even those at home on sick leave and those who might be perchance on their vacation, were urged to be present. As a result on New Year's day practically all of the employees and nearly all of the local board members were in and about the plant. First, there was a problem as to a place sufficiently large where a table could be arranged that this vast number of employees could assemble at one time and dine together. Dr. Boyd has stated on more than one occasion that it is his earnest desire to have his co- laborers eat with him once a year, just as he wants them to pray with him every day. Finally it was decided that the dinner should be served in building No. 6, known as the Woodworking and Cabinet Department, which is 50 feet wide by 100 feet long. Some delicate and valuable machinery was moved aside; work benches, circular saws, and much other machinery had to give place to a table which, if stretched out in one line would have gone the length of the building. On this table was spread a most sumptuous reast of roast pig, baked turkey, chicken, boiled ham, cornbread, light bread, potato and salmon salad, and cranberries. There was a plate for each employee and a knife, fork and spoon at each plate, with a cup of the best dripped coffee for every one. There was no effort made to serve the dinner in courses nor to have other than a real good old dinner. After this was eaten there were grapes, oranges, apples, cream and cake, not a little bit but food in abundance. This throng of skilled laborers, clerks, mechanics, editorial writers, and those employed at the Publishing Board had worked from 7 a. m. to 2:30 p. m., so their appetites were sharp and they ate the dinner with a relish. The dinner fairly begun and halfway over, speech making was in order. Dr. Boyd announced that he enjoyed going over old times, relating, if you please, the beginning of the plant and looking around upon the older ones who had begun work when things looked dark and gloomy. Each department was called upon, the foreman and chief clerk generally responded. Prof. S. P. Harris, of the bookkeeping department, being the oldest employee now at work, was first to respond. He is entering his thirteenth year of actual service with the institi- Secretary and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board-Host of the occasion. tution. Miss Katie Shelton, Chief of the Stenographic Department, was then called, then came others. When the proof-reading department was called, Mr. C. H. Burriill, the foreman, being absent on sick leave, was represented by Mr. J. D. Crenshaw, the assistant. Mr. Crenshaw stepped to the middle of the building standing by the side of a mammoth twin saw table, and addressed the merry New Year throng in a speech eulogizing in the most choice language the work being done by the National Baptist Publishing Board under its founder, secretary, and manager. His beautiful climax was the comparison of Dr. Boyd with a historical incident connected with the life of Napoleon. He said, "I want to make this comparison which to my mind is no disparagement to the individuals. At the great battle of Jena, when one of the world's greatest generals, Napoleon Bonaparte, was watching his army surge against one equally as great, he looked and beheld dashing by with speed and bravery, his field marshal. At that moment Napoleon exclaimed, "There goes Napoleon Ney, the bravest of the brave." He paid a tribute to one of his generals. In the meantime Marshal Ney, gallant, astute, commanding, dashing in front of his regiment, calling to them, 'Come on and let me show you how the Marshal of the Field of France dies.' The founder of this institution, Dr. R. H. Boyd, has uttered not in words but in deeds, in achievements, and in the life of this institution as well as others with which he is connected, the same cry to the Negroes of this country. He has said to them in unmistakable tones, come on and let me show you how to solve the race problem. Although shot at from all sides and fought by friends and foes, like the famous French Marshal, he has dashed to the front with countless victories on his banner. He has marshalled this working force which we represent to-day from conquest to victory. It is an international institution, revered by all the people, patronized and supported because of its great work both as a business and denominational concern. I want to present, not for its intrinsic value," said Mr. Crenshaw, addressing Dr. Boyd, "a small token of the esteem and appreciation in which you are held by the employees, this little charm for the watchchain that you may wear it from day to day knowing that you have our esteem and respect. But in order that no honor be taken from the ones into whose minds the idea was conceived, I shall ask Miss Nellie E. King, of the proof-reading department, to present to you this token." Prof. Crenshaw was applauded and Miss King was introduced, who spoke as follows: "Dr. Boyd, as a token of the esteem and friendliness with which you are held by us and as a Godspeed and well wish on this happy New Year's Day we have arranged among ourselves this small surprise. The gift, though small and intrinsic in value, does not begin to express the large-heartedness and good cheer which go with it. We want you to accept this token and wear it as a gentle and ever (Continued on Page 8.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1909. NASHVILLE TO ENTERTAIN Baptist S. S. Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua. MANY DISTINGUISHED VISITORS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE. CALL WILL BE SENT OUT BY DR. C. H. CLARK—GREAT GATHERING OF YOUNG PEOPLE—ELABORATE PROGRAM TO BE ARRANGED — SPECIAL INVITATIONS TO BE SENT OUT—OTHER ARRANGEMENTS TO BE PERFECTED. At a special meeting held in this city Tuesday, Jan. 5, a decision was reached with respect to holding the fourth annual session of the great Sunday-school Congress and Young People's Chautauqua. Nashville has once more outstripped her competitors, being awarded this important religious gathering. The last session of the Chautauqua was held in Jacksonville, Fla. Since that time the boards under whose management the Sunday-school movement is fostered have been constantly flooded with requests from cities throughout the country asking for the Congress. In giving out notice the secretary of the Congress movement, Henry A. Boyd, said: "Nashville has given better assurance for properly entertaining this meeting than the other cities. Then, too, the city has the advantage in its geographical location as to the Baptists. The Congress will be held from June 2nd to the 7th, 1909, inclusive. All of the Sunday-schools throughout the country will have special letters and special invitations. The call for the meeting will be sent out officially signed by Rev. C. H. Clark, chairman of the Publishing Board, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board; and Rev. R. H. Boyd, of the Home Mission Board, as the meeting is held under the auspices of these three boards. It is not known definitely what other arrangements with respect to this meeting have been made, but the assurance is given that it will excel both in point of interest and attendance any other distinct denominational gathering for young people. Nashville will have the opportunity once more to entertain a national body. YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Young Men's Literary Club were donors of hospitality on last Wednesday night, December 30, 1908, the occasion being their second annual banquet. There has not been an affair this season that out-rivaled this occasion. Ere the time set for the guests to arrive, the by-ways were aglow with the young ladies in their charming costumes and cheerful faces and were escorted to the residence of Mr. Allen Whittaker by young men of the club equally as cheerful. The main feature of the entertainment were games and dances, in which all took equal shares until Mr. D. O. Darden, the Master of Ceremonies, called the house to order and announced the following program which was rendered: Instrumental Solo—Miss Madeline Carter. Essay—"The Welfare of the Young Men's Literary Club," by Mr. W. H. Summers. Recitation—"Orfnginal Thinking," by Mr. E. L. Berry. Essay—"Words to Young Men," by Mr. Jno. A. Galloway, Vice President. Instrumental Solo—Miss Helena Lowe. Essay—"The Real Literary Club," by Mr. Andrew J. Allison. "Welcome Address—"The Father of English Poetry," by the President, Mr. Ed. Lee Kinzer. Immediately after the rendition of the program the Master of Ceremonies called on each one for a quotation from a standard author, to which all responded. This having been completed, the guests and members were served the following menu: Fruit, salad, nut sandwiches, chicken salad, heated biscuit, olives, mixed pickles, ice cream, individual cakes and mints—both chocolate and marsh mallow. The young ladies were all presented with a small bell as a souvenir with which they might ring out the year 1908. The banquet will be long remembered. Those present were Misses Tennie L. Hughes, Sallie Duvall, Golden Perry, Prudence Harriston, Alice White, Celia M. Hendley, Bertha M. Thompson, Virginia L. Whittaker, Mary Whittaker, Vergie Morton, of Columbia; Maggie Hill, Sherlie Ross, Helena Lowe, Clara Hightower, Jesse Murray, Madelene Carter, Estella Campbell, Velma Moseley, Marie Stockell, Drucilla Hill, Nannie Hughes, Ida Cannon, of Shelbyville; Messrs.

No.1 EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION EXGELLENT PROGRAMME REN- DERED AT MEHARRY. DAY CELEBRATED IN FITTING STYLE — LARGE AUDIENCES WITNESS THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS — STUDENTS DELIVERED ELOQUENT ADDRESSES —“WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?” A MASTERPIECE. The observance of the 46th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation was a notable event in Nashville. While no united celebration was held by the citizens, there were several interesting and well attended Emancipation exercises. The day was brisk and cold, but the weather was ideal, being as clear and bright as New Year's Day ever is in this city. The older citizens who can recall January 1st forty-six years ago, possibly had a deeper reverence and a fonder recollection of what really occurred on that day than the younger ones can have. The G. A. R. posts did not have special exercises this year, but their members celebrated at various other places where the Proclamation was being observed The famous document by Abraham Lincoln was effective on the first day of January, 1863. There have been many able papers and messages coming from the presidents of the United States, each of whom has been Commander-in-Chief of the army and Navy, but this one has been styled the greatest document ever written by a president. It has been said that the voice of freedom was the voice of God, and therefore the champion of freedom was spurred on by the same omnipotent power. Much has been said about this great act which was brought on when the wave of righteous abolition became agitated and the sentiment so eloquently and convincingly molded by some of the most noted, eloquent and zealous abolitionists, as Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Lovejoy, Brown and Greeley, gave the cause of freedom an impetus that could not be disregarded. Historians have said in speaking of the times and conditions that "The nation had to be saved as well as the slaves freed." Much has been said about the time of the celebrating of the Proclamation. No day has ever been set apart that all states might observe, yet Tennessee, with Nashville as its capital, has for forty-five years observed the first day of January. They have given on this day reverence to the memory of those patriotic, Christian-like, gentlemanly statesmen, who advocated the cause of freedom and who accomplished a work that will never die. The only street parade of the day was that of an old ex-slave who, inspired by sweet memory of the time when the shackles fell from his arms and legs, hitched up an old white mule to a plough, which was itself mounted on three wheels, and attached a small wagon to it. He was seated in this vehicle while the whole "contraption" was decorated in national colors. He drove through the city, the mule pulling the plough, he guiding it, unmolested but admired. He had buckled at his side a sword which was a remnant of the days of slavery. His was a glorious celebration. At Fisk University the school and citizens of North Nashville celebrated the day in the Memorial Chapel, where a special program was rendered. The largest celebration and one that attracted general interest was the one at Meharry Auditorium, under the auspices of Walden University. The citizens of South Nashville and many from the city at large were present. Emancipation Day was most appropriately celebrated at the Auditorium on January 1. The Proclamation, as B issued by Abraham Lincoln, was well read by Miss Ora Green, of Walden. All of the various departments were represented by good speakers, whose subjects were in keeping with the occasion. The music rendered by the young ladies and young men's glee club was indeed a treat. The exercises were well attended, there being standing room only. The orators of the day were as follows: Robert F. Dill, Normal Department, "Stepping Stones of the Negro." R. C. Granberry, Pharmaceutical Department, "How to Perpetuate our Freedom." W. F. Maclin, College Department, "Blessings of Liberty." Wm. Russell, Dental Department, "Watchman, What of the Night?" Eugene Robinson, Theological Department, "Our Present Duty." G. W. Malone, Law Department, "Benefits Received by the Emancipated Negro." J. E. Hurt, Medical Department, "The Survival of the Fittest." After the program remarks were made by Bishop C. H. Phillips, Drs. G. W. Hubbard, R. F. Boyd and J. A. Kumler. Miss Katie Fields, of the literary department of Walden, recently underwent an operation for osteitis of the inferior maxillary caused by a decaying tooth and is improving under the treatment. Dr. D. W. Fields, her father, who is a dentist of no mean repute of Memphis, was over to witness the operation and addressed the Senior Class. Dr. Fields finished with the class of 1889 in dentistry, and enjoys a very lucrative practice in Memphis. The movement on foot for the establishment of a large, up-to-date hospital in connection with the college is meeting with loyal support from the friends and alumni, and success seems assured. With a nucleus of $3,000 and subscriptions coming in from its supporters, it is thought that another year will see the building on the ground. We have just received from Dr. A. C. McIntyre, of Louisville, Ky., a subscription of $10; Dr. A. S. J. Burchett, of Memphis, $100; Dr. J. W. Andersen, of Dallas, Texas, $100. The building when erected will give ample and complete facilities for the accommodation of a larger number of patients and the training of a greater number of nurses. The number of nurses heretofore or at the present are limited, owing to the fact that there are not sufficient accommodations. Dr. Fields, while in the city, left a subscription of $25. Dr. L. L. Cheatham, of Pine Bluff, Ark., of the class of '05, was a visitor and reports a splendid practice in his city. Dr. W. S. Adams, of Louisville, Ky., of the class of '03, was in the city attending the wedding of his sister, Miss E. C. Adams, and reports a good practice. Dr. A. C. McIntyre, of Louisville, Ky., was a visitor and addressed the classes at their regular Tuesday's clinic. Dr. McIntyre's talk was both interesting and inspiring. An illustrated lecture in crown and bridge work was delivered by Dr. P. E. Neil to the dental students January 5 at 7 p. m., at Meharry Auditorium. An improved optical disk with diverging ray attachment has been purchased of C. H. Stoelting Co., of Chicago, to be used in the sophomore class in optics in Physiology and in the physiological laboratory. It covers the entire subject save photometry. Miss Shelby L. Boynton, of the senior medical class, spent a most pleasant holiday vacation at Mt. Pleasant visiting Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Lowe. We have it from reliable sources that Dr. H. A. Longdon has passed the Nebraska state board and Dr. J. T. Williams has passed the Missouri board. Both are of the class of '08. And now that Christmas has come and gone, the senior class sobers down to business preparing for the "finish." Each class feels that it has graduated a degree higher in its scholastic career from the "unsophisticated crab" to the "arrogant lobster," to the dignified junior, to the honorable senior, to the Mecca of all past religious endeavor and virtuous effort—"M.

One of the most charming holiday entertainments was given on the evening of Wednesday, December 30, at the beautiful home or Mr. and Mrs. Bang, on Woods street, in honor of their lovely daughter, Miss Cassandria. The front parlor was used for those who cared to two-step and in the back parlor games were played. At eleven o'clock delicious refreshments were served. Among the guests present were Misses Mary Hawkins, Bessie Williams, Anna James, Bettie Hollins, Carrie Walker, Lula Walker, Tom Ella Robertson, Katie Robertson, Blanche Tinnon, Katie Williams, Irene Harrison, Jenie Ewing, Carrie Goodman, Ada Bounds, Ida Walker, Jenetta Woods, Willie Brooks, Addie Duke, Hattie Duke, Beatrice Williams, Marie Acklin, Anna Cannon, Messrs.

PRESENTATION TO ELDER TAYLOR Last Sunday, January 3, was a scene of great rejoicing at Lea avenue Christian Church. The pastor, Elder Preston Taylor, preached a strong sermon which touched the congregation. The Prodigal Son was so plainly pictured that the smallest child could readily understaand. The pastor asked the members to keep these words as their guide during the year. "I will arise and go to my Father." Luke 15:8. After the sermon one arose and said, "I will arise and go to my Father," and she was gladly received. The members turned a hearty vote of thanks to the pastor for his services and work during the past year and presented him a handsome suit of clothes, shirt, tie and other wearing apparel. The members not only called him for another year, but sald he was their pastor for life. Every member present came up and gave him a hearty handshake, wishing him long life and God's blessing in all of his work and undertakings. NEW YEAR OPENING. Johnson Undertaking Establishment Has Public Reception. To the Nashville public. New Year's day was one of busy activity. It was very entertaining in more ways than one. Possibly the biggest attraction was the re-opening of the A. N. Johnson Undertaking. Establishment on Cedar street which had just been completed. According to invitation hundreds of citizens responded, taking advantage of the generosity and hospitality of one of Nashville's leading business men. The stream of visitors who saw the place, began early in the morning and continued until late in the evening—not crowded, but coming in one constant, uninterrupted stream. They were met, welcomed and entertained by the affable, congenial and pleasant proprietor, Mr. A. N. Johnson and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were assisted in entertaining by their two sons, Lorenzo and A. N., Jr., with some of their student friends from the Medical school. They were shown this magnificent, well-appointed establishment beginning with the elegant ladies' parlor, with its great high ceiling, decorated walls and costly furniture, through the showrooms, chapel, stock-rooms, morgue, and, in fact, through the stables, and back into the great hall-way. They saw the most complete undertaking establishment owned by Negroes in the United States. That it is the most elaborate, tasty, up-to-date, complete, everything well-arranged, and every one highly entertained, is the sum and substance of every verdict rendered on the establishment and every remark heard during the day. Citizens are not slow to take advantage of these opportunities to see the Negro's advancement in the business world. A. M. F. MINISTERS' UNION. A. M. E. MINISTERS' UNION. The A. M. E. Ministers' Union met in the office of St. John Church, December 29, at 10 a. m., Rev. I. J. Edwards, President, in the chair, Rev. A. Brooks conducted the devotional exercises and led the song, "Father of all, in whom alone," which was beautifully sung. Rev. A. Brooks offered a most fervent prayer. Rev. I. J. Edwards led the song, "Jesus, Saviour, pilot me." The Scripture lesson, Acts 2:24-47, was read in concert, and was discussed by Revs. J. H. Kerr, W. S. Brooks, T. W. Haigler, M. J. Jackson and A. Brooks. The paper on "Faith," by Rev. A. Brooks, was read. It was discussed by Revs. Jackson, Denny, Haigler, W. S. Brooks and Ed wards. The Committee on Souvenirs of the Union for Bishop Park's twenty-fifth anniversary reported, and the same was adopted, and Friday, January 1, 1909, at 1 p. m., the time set to further consider it. Rev. George Dardis, D. D., better known as "Father Dardis," for he knows when there was only one or two Negro churches in Nashville, said, "Brethren, I am on the eve of leaving Nashville. I may die before I get back. Let me say, I admire your association, your homes, your pubits and the Ministers' Union. Bring the Alliance up to the high and noble rank of Christian prosperity and integrity. Continue to attend the Alliance, read papers, study the Bible, search for knowledge and wisdom—real good criticisms and the discussions on current topics of church work will strengthen and help you. Be united and stand together, for in union there is strength. Make full proof of your calling, and if I never more see you, met me in heaven." Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D.: "Dr. Dardis, we esteem you and look upon you as a father. We shall emulate your stalwart Christian integrity, for you have set the banner of Christianity on the apex of the mountain. We are sorry to part with you, but be you well assured that our prayers will go with you, and that the Lord will continue to spare your life and let you live long in his vineyard here, and when you get ready you can come back home, and you will find shelter. Remember, we are grateful to you for blazing the way, for now we are enjoying the fruits of your labor. May God bless you. 'When the woes of life o'ertake thee, Hope deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake thee, Lo! it glows with peace and joy.'" Rev. Mr. Flagg, D. D., spoke concerning the educational and Sunday-school interests of the church. Dr. T. W. Haigler read the program of Bishop Parks' twenty-fifth anniversary, and said the round trip fare would be $18.85 from Nashville to Chicago, and that all concerned would leave Nashville Friday, January 15, at 3:30 p. m., reaching Chicago on the 16th, at 6 a. m. Announcements, doxology, benediction by Rev. George Dartis, D. D. NEW OFFICERS NOT INSTALLED. The regular weekly meeting of the Baptist City Ministers' Conference was reld Monday from 11 a. m., to about 1 p. m. The meeting was about as interesting as usual. The same large attendance as was noticeable Monday before last was present. The regular routine business effecting the local Baptist Churches was taken up. Heavy financial reports were made which was the result of a beautiful first Sunday in the year, and well attended services at all of the Churches. From the report it was estimated that about five thousand Baptists took communion in the thirty some odd Baptist churches on last Sunday in this city. The new officers for the ensuing year, elected Monday January 4, were not installed. They will possibly be ushered into office at the next regular meeting. Among the visitors at the meeting Monday was Mrs. M. H. Flowers, who it is said had come for the purpose of getting before the ministers' conference the proposed coming visit of Miss N. H. Burroughs of Louisville. This was however, not taken up owing to other matters that occupied the time of the conference. MR. GREEN. OF CLEVELAND. O. MR. GREEN, OF CLEVELAND, O. Among the holiday visitors who spent a few days in Nashville, was Mr. R. H. Green, of Cleveland, O. Mr. Green is a clerk in the post office of Cleveland, a position he has held for some time. Although a native Tennessean, he has lived in the Buckeye State for the past fifteen years. Mr. Green stopped over on his way from Columbia, where he had been to witness the wedding of his sister, Miss Annie Pauline, to Prof. Caruthers. He is a co-laborer in the same office with Mr. John Bolden, whose little daughter, Marie, won the great honor in the spelling match during the session of the Educational Convention at Cleveland. BANK STOCKHOLDER'S MEETING CHANGED.

REV. DR. PETER VERTREES. One of the oldest ministers in this section of the state in point of service, is Rev. Peter Vertrees, D. D., of Gallatin, who was in the city two days this week attending the Baptist Board meetings that were in session Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. Vertrees has been pastor over one church for forty years. He is also the principal of the school at Gallatin and is one of the highly respected citizens of Middle Tennessee. CARD OF SYMPATHY. Mr. and Mrs. Pillow, Our Dear Friends: If anything could have caused us pain it was the news of your sad bereavement. How we remember your dear child, lovely, lively, intelligent and affectionate, ever displaying a thoughtfulness beyond her years; and to lose such a promising child truly brings a deep and heavy shadow. But remember that light will break through and there will be a glad and happy reunion in the Great Beyond. It has, indeed, been a heavy blow, and we scarcely know how to talk of consolation under so bitter an affliction. Think of the One who caret for all and who loves little children. He has prepared a bright and beauti- ful home beyond the grave, and the spirit of the dear child will only wait a brief period when in sweetness and love she will meet her mother and father to part no more.

The cause of the operation as far as could be learned last Monday by the reporter was the growing of a large wen on the forehead which had been growing for the last four or five months. While it was not painful, it was unsightly and undesirable. Dr. Isaac's weak physical condition possibly brought on a little apprehension after the operation and he was taken to Mercy Hospital where medical treatment and good nursing could be administered. SAN ANTONIO THE MECCA. Dr. G. J. Starnes, a member of the recent International Congress on Turberculosis, Washington, D.

Malone, familiarly called "Pat" Malone, a white grocer at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Fillmore street, had a Christmas tree a few nights ago at Fairfield Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Majors, pastor, for the benefit of the colored children of South Nashville. The church was crowded. The tree was beautifully decorated and contained 350 presents. After the children had received their gifts, what was left over was distributed among the widows and elderly people in the vicinity. DEATH OF PROF. LUCKIE. A telegram was received in Nashville Saturday evening from Prairie View, Tex., announcing the death of Prof. C. W. Luckie, who was one of the members of the faculty in the Prairie View State Normal School, operated by the state of Texas for Negro youth. Prof. Luckie was well known in Nashville, being a brother-in-law of Mrs. I. B. Scott, of Wharf avenue. Much regret was expressed at this sad news and much sympathy is being expressed to the bereaved family. Mrs. Luckie is a Tennessee. Her home is in Franklin. She spent several months here last year. The interment took place in Atlanta, Ga. this week. Mrs. Scott left last Saturday night for Atlanta to join her sister. The deceased was a Georgian. He was a graduate of the Atlanta University back in the 80's. He had lived in Texas twenty odd years and was looked upon as being among the leading educators in the state. About sixteen years of this time had been spent in actual service in the state Normal School at Prairie View. NARRAGANSETTE CLUB. The Narragansette Club of East Nashville gave an entertainment Friday night, January 1, 1909, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fulton Stockell, 611 Webster street. A three-course menu was served. Dancing and games were the features of the evening. HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

And sweet contentment bless and brighten "May flowers deck your pathway; And friends hold true and fast; May your future be so bright That you will never think of the past." Mr. J. C. Napier, Cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, a guest of the occasion, was called and admitted that under the present conditions he could not respond not knowing what to say. He bore witness to the fact mentioned by the gentlemen who preceded him, and said to his mind and actual knowledge that not a man had ever come to Nashville entering so unostentatiously without any show of conceit that had accomplished more and was held in higher esteem than Dr. R. H. Boyd. In conclusion he paid a fine tribute to the National Baptist Union, a religious weekly paper published by the The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Dr. Ellington stated that he was like the Irishman who was asked, after a hard fall, if he was dead. To which the Irishman responded, "No, Mike, I am not dead, but speechless." Dr. Ellington concluded by saying that while he did not mean to be sacrilegious, he wished that the Lord might see fit to allow Dr. Boyd to remain an indefinite time. That since Methuselah stayed here over 900 years the Lord might allow us to have our Dr. Boyd for an extra length of time that he might do more and greater good. It was 4:30 before dinner was finished, hence the remainder of the day was observed as New Year's Day. In responding to the presentation speeches, Dr. Boyd declared that he was unable to sufficiently express his appreciation. That for three consecutive New Years he had been presented with a present. On New Year's, 1008, he was presented with a gold watch and chain with a wish that he would live a hundred years to wear the watch, and that it should then be passed to a grandson of his, Richard Henry Boyd, III., and that he could only say that he wished now to live the ninety-nine years that he might wear the charm with it. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1909. Nashville, Tenn. ANNUAL BANQUET TO REV. AND MRS. BELL AT CHATTANOOGA. Probably the most pleasant and up-to-date social event among church folks for many years, was the annual banquet given by the officers of the First Baptist Church and their wives, in honor of Rev. and Mrs. C. A. Bell, at the parsonage, 627 East Eighth street, Monday evening, January 4. The color scheme was green and white and was carried out to the minutest detail. Covers were laid for thirty. Those invited were the pastor, Rev. Charles Augustus and Mrs. Bell, Chairman, Mrs. Wilson, Deacon and Mrs. Lane, Deacon and Mrs. Farris, Deacon and Mrs. Prater, Deacon and Mrs. Bynes, Deacon and Miss Cox, Deacon and Mrs. Cottrell, Trustee White and Mrs. Phillips, Trustee Barner and Mrs. Webster, Trustee and Mrs. Turner, Trustee and Mrs. Fagala, Secretary, and Mrs. J. M. Easterling, and Trustee Smith, Mrs. Bishop, Misses Byrd and Barner, Trustee and Mrs. G. V. Easterling. Col. J. M. Easterling acted as toastmaster. The menu, which was one of the finest, from a culinary standpoint, ever presented, was under the supervision of Messrs. Houston and Black, Chattanooga's leading caterers, and the services were as near perfect as the surrounding circumstances would permit. Aside from carrying out a program, interesting talks were given by the pastor and others on the progress the church was making along all lines and especial emphasis was laid on the peace and tranquility that has prevailed throughout the pastorate of Rev. Bell. At 9:30 Col. Easterling wrapped for order and all were seated. Probably no more representative body of Christian men and women was ever seated around the festal board in Chattanooga. Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, who had been a welcome visitor in Chattanooga during Saturday and Sunday last, and who, it was hoped, would be present with us on this occasion, received an important message and was compelled to leave at 3 o'clock on Monday afternoon. At 11:30 p. m., the merry party disbanded, and to use the phraseology of Chairman Wilson, "Every rat went to his hole." DR. BUCK'S RETURN. On last Friday Rev. D. D. Buck, one of Nashville's oldest ministers and a man well known for the work he has accomplished, returned to the city. The National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary 1909 Dr Buck has been absent nearly three years. During this time he has traveled extensively particularly in the Middle and Far West. A great deal of the time was spent in Canada. Dr. Buck said to a Globe reporter that although he had been out of Nashville, his interest was here and he had kept up with the happenings of Nashville each week. He said that he had been able to do this because he had kept up with every issue of the Nashville Globe, which was the only possible medium through which the complete news of Nashville could reach him. He has spoken of the Globe as a high-class newspaper before many audiences numbering hundred of people. Dr. Buck will have more to say in a subsequent issue, possible an interview outlining his plans for the future.

NEGROES OF GEORGIA. ‘The Negro citizens of Georgia have prepared a memorial to present to Congress, asking that a bill whose pur- pose is to gerrymander them from the Jurisdiction of Judge Emory Speer's judiciary district. The memorial reads in part as follows: ‘The undersigned representatives of the colored masses in this country do earnestly offer this our petition and protest that you will not pass the bill to create a new judicial district in south and southeast Georgia so as to withdraw the largest colored popula- tion in the state from the protection of the court of which the Honorable Emory Speer is Judge. Like the true Southern gentleman, he has been from his youth upward just and kind to the colored people. When he was a young man as District Attorney in the Northern District of Georgia he prosecuted and convicted the night riders who disguised them- selves as Ku Klux and cruelly beat many of our people in their lonely homes because they had voted, and the Supreme Court of the United States sustained the convictions. After his appointment as Judge by President Arthur in 1885, his 23 years of humanity to the people have been marked by no differences between the black and white. He has had no juries in his courts except men who give to all men their legal rights without re- gard to color. He has decided that the laws against peonage are consti- tional, and he has done all in his pow- er as Judge to protect our people from these crimes. Many men of promi- nence in his district have been con- victed, severly punished, and paroled during their good behavior. If this crime is persisted in, it will result in the hopeless degradation of the col- ored men. Our race needs judges on the bench like Judge Speer, who will allow us only our just rights. This move on the, Negro people of Georgia is both sensible and timely. It also evinces the fact that they are keenly alive to the purport of the bill and what it will mean to them if passed. They know that whole scheme is to deprive them of the benefits to be de. rived from a court presided over by a just and conscientious judge. The memorial deals with the situation in a sttaightforward and intelligent way, and expresses a splendid tribute to a worthy man, There are many more white people in'the South, besides Judge Speer, who have not bowed their knees to the Baal of rampant and unreasonable prejudice, such as include all manner ofverime and ‘ill treatment toward the Négro. “He is not seeking any su- premacy of the whites, and the pigmy Politician that cries “Negro domina- tion” or indulges in any siteh ‘deria- Sogy to reach the goal of his atibftion THE. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1999. is unfit to fill worthily any position in the affairs of men. SONS OF REST. “Sons of Rest” is the name of an organized gang of young white boys and men, ranging in ages from 13 to 23 years, who have been infesting East Nashville for, several weeks and whose escapades have been a source of seri- ous annoyance to many people of that portion of the city, especially colored people. Before the young hoodlums were run to earth and landed in prison by the police authorities, they committed depredations amounting to criminality of the penitentiary brand. For in- stance, they accosted an old colored lady going home from her day's toil ‘as cook and because she did not run, peing aged and unable, when they ‘commanded her, they thereupon be ‘gan to pelt her with stones from the effects of which she fell to the side- walk insensible. They shot several. colored people, beat up others, stoned and chased others, In fact, their deviltry assumed a dangerous form be- fore it was quelled, and the perpetra- tors had become a serious menace to the locality in which they operated. ‘The authorities nabbed twenty- seven of the “Sons of Rest.” One newspaper account calls them “boys,” the 18-Vear-olds and the “93-yearers,”” too. But we were of the opinion that in this country males (of the genus homo) were men in every respect aft- er they had passed their 21st birthday. Usually the term “boy” is applied to the Negro, whether he be a lad of thirteen summers or a man of twenty- three or sixty save when he is accused of some crime in which case he is a “pig burly buck” and is “dealt with accordingly.” Men of twenty-three years of age should be punished se yerely for leading and assisting boys of thirteen years into making mur- derous attacks on people going peace- fully about their business. “Sons of Rest” is a flagrant mis- nomer and should have been “Sons of Disturbance or Crime” and when ar- rested they should have been in real- ity and appropriately christened “Sons of Hard Labor in the Work- house.” UNITED STATES SENDS AID. ‘The United States government has sent to Italy $800,000 to be used in relieving the misery and suffering of the victims of earthquake. Before such awful visitations of disturbed na- ture, men stand appalled. But when they arouse from the first shock, they rush to the assistance of the unfor- tunate sufferers with the most liberal charitableness. Such terrible calami- ties make the whole world akin. This country always goes to the rescue with most liberal and substantial offerings, whether its a famine in India, China or Ireland, or whether the suffering is in its own borders. Other countries are contributing food, medicine, clothing and money. The situation is grave. However much may be done and with whatever dispatch, there still will be untold suf- fering. It will be some time before anything like stable order or normal conditions can be restored. ‘Thousands and thousands of people are without even any pretense of shel- ter, and that, too, in midwinter. ‘The work of disposing of the dead, many hundred of whom remain still buried ‘under the great mass of debris, must ‘necessarily be slow, and that increas- es the chances of a pestilence break- ing out that will be more devasting in its merciless ravages than the earth- quake itself. Those who have acted on the behalf of this government were fully awere of such a possibility and sent the large sum of money to assist in relieving the situation in every way, The attempt to assassinate Attor- ney-General Caldwell on the night of Janiiary 2/was inspired by the desper- atfon of the’ nightriders’ cause. It in iself, aside from the damaging evi- dence piled up against them, shows that they ihave been driven to the: last ditch, ‘Their efforts to’ establish alibis hive ‘proven’ ibortive,"atid’ nothitig’ re: Mains “wow but the hopelessness of despair. In all probability had Attor- ney-General Caldwell been a victim of the assassin’s bullet, instead of easing up the situation, it would have been complicatd® and intensified, The At- torney-Ceneral was doing hiss duty in prosecuting the nightriders, yet it was decreed that he should die because of that very fact. The friends of the indicted men are overleaping them- zelves by such a course. When the opposing forces of sun- dered Democracy met on the “hill” last Monday in the shock of political strife the not over-unexpected or im- probable happened. We predicted that the struggle for supremacy would be sharp and fierce. The State-widers won the first fall. They put the shoulders of the local self-governists to the mat in both Houses of the Legislature. The State-widers stole a march on the administration follow- ers and flanked the cancus; that is, re- fused to enter it, and won out in Na poleonie fashion by hurriedly con- centrating their forces Monday morn- ing, and charged and carried their op- ponents’ position before the latter had time to rally from their surprise. But there is enough fun and surprise left to make this session of the Legislature entertaining. Let that fellow Jim Jeffries’ garru- lousness or loquacity take the place of his fists and he has Jack Johnson hypothetically defeated; but, vice ver- sa, let him step into the ring, in flesh and blood, and Johnson has him—al- low us to use this expressive street phrase—“skinned a mile.” Jeffries may strut, brag and blow, but, mind you, he will never enter the ring with the new champion as his antagonist, He will forever and for aye side-step such an issue. Take what Jeffries has to say with a pinch of salt—even then it is indigestible. The solons from the small towns and forks of the creek districts seem bent on not allowing their pet prohibt- tion measure being killed or filibus- tered out of existence for want of time, so it has been introduced as Senate Bill No. 1. If they want to play the part of Cicero and Demos- thenes on Capitol Hill again, they had better be able to go back to their con- stituents and say, “We have done what you told us to do.” ‘Added to the horror of all the rain and chaos in the stricken earthquake district of Italy is another horror more horrible still, and that is the work of the human vampires in rob- bing the dead, dying and helpless. Such soulless devils, human vultures, should be shot without mercy or par ley. ‘The remaining days of the “Strenu- ous One”—less than sixty—are reeling themselves off the distaff of Time, one by one, with great rapidity. The in- cumbent of the White House, with bag and baggage, will soon step down and out. Mareh the 4th, 1909, marks the day, What then? Africa and the lions! Senator Tillman of South Carolina sometimes dubbed “Pitchfork ‘Till- man,” smells a rat, it is said, in com- pulsory education for, Negro children and Mr. Taft’s solicitude with regard to the South, Well, Tillman will be ‘Tillman, that’s all there is to it. Be- hind every bush, real and imaginary, he sees the towering ghost of the ris: ing, advancing and progressive Negro. State-widers should credit their vic- tory and ability to organize the Gen- eral Assembly to the assistance of Re- publicans. actitigioas The coils of the law are tightening around the nightrider suspects on trial at Union City.

O. BATTLE, Editor Nashville Globe. Will Possibly Remain in the South- vestorn Part of the State cr the Winter. “San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 2, 1909. Battle arrived this morning safe. Feeling fine-—O. J. Carter.” This is the telegram which was sent from the metropolis of Texas, better known as the Alamo City, on the day after New Year's, announcing the arrival of the Editor of the Nashville Globe in the person of Mr. J. O. Battle, who left for that point December 31, '08. Mr. Battle was forced from the city on account of too much work. He must needs be away from the strenu- ous work for a change. It was cal- culated that the delightfully mild cli- mate of the counties of Bexar, Boerne, and Kindall, in which are situated three of Texas’ important health re- sorts, would contribute a great deal not paid for the paper in two years. On being informed of the state of af- fairs, Mrs. Printup remarked, “I could have said that I did not get the Globe regularly, but it has been received every week, and I will settle the bill now. I like the paper and expect to ‘be a paying subscriber as long as I live.” pores BIGGER THAN EVER THIS YEAR. The Commentary for 1909, a Book Worthy of Note, Has surpassed ‘All Former Efforts. Among the recent achievements of the Negro publishing concerns estab- jished, operated and owned by the different denominations of the race js the National Baptist Sunday- School Lesson Commentary, @ book, a treatise, a complete exegesis, on the PRICE 1-6-09 Sunday-school lessons for 1909, pub- lished by the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board, at Nashville, Tenn. The book this year contains over four hundred pages and “is easily the su- perior of any of its predecessors. The book is in its fifth volume, and it seems that the Baptist Publishing Board doubled its energy this year in its effort to make this book just what the Sunday-school superintend- ent, teachers and advanced scholars need, a complete, suggestive, illus- trative and comprehensive Commen- tary on the Sunday-school lessons. Not only this, but it is evident that the book is of invaluable service to the ministers of the Gospel. It has been used more than once to aid in the preparation of sermons because of the facts and extra amount of bib- lical research to be found within its pages. The book contains a preface, an article on Sunday-school Methods; an introduction for each quarter and an introduction for every lesson, to- gether with the Exposition. Following these there come “Truths Gleaned from the Lesson,” “Hints for the Pri- mary Teachers,” and an array of questions upon each lesson. There are three beautiful colored maps showing Paul’s journeys, Nearly every lesson for the year is il- lustrated. Attention is at once at- tracted to a particular lesson. The one whieh comes on March 7, subject: “PhiJip and the Hthiopian,” which is fllustrated on page 82, showing Philip and the Bthiopian eunuch as they ride in. a chariot drawn by two horses. One almost sees the Ethiopian pointing to the wa- ‘tersand asking: why he cannot. be -bap- et. This ts: the first-time that Ne- gro publishers have attempted to por- to the health, comfort and upbuilding of the brilliant and fearless writer, Then, too, a change of scene and con ditions, together with the hospitality of the big-hearted people, is bound to do good. His departure was not an nounced in the columns of the Globe because it was only decided several days prior to his going that he would really leave. The Globe, however, must continue, an acting editor will take charge of the editorial columns, the treasurer and present editor re taining his two respective positions, Many letters and condoling messages have left Nashville for Texas. Some thought that he was totally disabled but it is not so; being naturally thin and delicate looking, it was only a matter of several weeks’ confinement before it was evident that he was com- pelled to go at once, A erent tray in their Sunday-school lessons the Ethiopian in a dark skin. This book has for its editor, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., and as asso clate editor, Rev. W. §. Billington, B. A.. D. D. They seem to have won: derfully outstripped the times and have evidently commended _ them- ‘selves to the Sunday-school, ELABORATELY ENTERTAINED.
