THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM LINGOLN. The Man Who Loved the Plain People. THE LEADING AMERICAN STATESMAN — HIS FIRST CONTACT WITH SLAVERY MADE HIM AN ENEMY TO THAT DAMNABLE INSTITUTION — ALWAYS A FRIEND TO THE OPPRESSED—SAVED DECREPIT INDIAN FROM FRONTIER LAW—THE PAPPSVILLE CAMPAIGN SPEECH—NO COMPROMISE WITH WRONG—THE OBJECT OF THE CIVIL WAR—HIS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. One hundred years ago next Friday there was born in a cabin on Nolins creek, three miles west of the obscure hamlet of Hodgensville, Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln, whose most fitting epitaph in this season of remembrance of the great emancipator is that "He loved the plain people." About his personality, both before and since his death from the assassin's bullet, has arisen a great body of literature. His career was one which appeals forcefully to the imagination; his characteristics were those which appeal no less forcefully to the heart. Fortunately for the world, his biography, so often undertaken, has been written not only by those who depended for their material on apocryphal legend and hearsay testimony, but as well by men who were closely associated with him and came to their task lovingly and panoplied in ample equipment. Such a one was William H. Herndon, his law partner at Springfield, Ill., in the days before he had achieved political preferment, when he was finding himself. So equipped also, were Nicolay and Hay, who were intimately associated with him as secretaries during his period of stress and whose nine-volume history of Lincoln's life is the most exhaustive hitherto or likely to be undertaken. There have been many other biographies, long and short, some of them never rescued from the transitory pages of magazines, others written for this or that special purpose from this and that special viewpoint. And in addition there have been almost countless anecdotes purporting to be of Lincoln or told by him, which have fluttered into the glance of the reading public in the daily press and have found oblivion in dutsy file racks. For these reasons the Lincoln legend has become almost as much a part of American education as reading and writing. One brought face to face with the great masses of Lincolniana cannot help asking how many of these anecdotes should be believed, how many rejected as probably untrue, reasonable answer perhaps is that the bulk of such stories are worthy of acceptance on the following grounds: The status of Lincoln in the mind of the world to-day is such that the filmsiest reminiscence concerning him acquires by the magic of his name a fictious value; frequently cold analysis of a tale which for the moment seems vital with human interest reveals that it has none of the qualities of a tellable story. The Midas touch of a great man's name transmits it, and without that name it is inconceivable that it should have been given currency. LINCOLN'S FIRST CONTACT WITH THE SLAVE TRAD. Lincoln was 22, uninterested and without a definite aim in life, when he was first brought into contact with slavery. He was engaged with two companions for the modest wages of 50 cents a day and a bonus of $60 to run a flatboat from Illinois to New Orleans. In the Louisiana city he saw for the first time "negroes in chains—whipped and scourged." One morning while walking through the city with two companions he passed a slave auction where a comely mulatto girl was on the block. The possible purchasers pinched her flesh and made a thorough examination, and she was trotted up and down NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1909 9 the platform to "show how she moved." Lincoln, says his biographer, was deeply stirred by the sight. He said: "By God, boys, let's get away from this. If ever I get a chance to hit that thing (meaning slavery), I'll hit it hard." DECREPIT INDIAN SAVED FROM FRONTIER LAW. The young frontier giant's brief experience of campaigning in the Blackhawk war as officer of a company was marked by one incident which foreshadowed the spirit of mercy which later characterized his presidential record. One day an old Indian strolled hungry and helpless into camp, bearing a letter from Gen. Cass, recommending him for past kind and faithful services to the whites. This letter did not serve, however, to allay the suspicion and anger of the rough men who had left their homes to fight treacherous Indians. "Here," said they, "is a chance to make an example of a redskin. This letter is a forgery and he is a spy."

He interposed his long, sinewy figure between the red man and his captors and said that what they proposed must not be done. Nor was it done, and the Indian went away unmolested. A JUICY CAMPAIGN SPEECH AT PAPPSVILLE. His first bid for office followed his return from the Blackhawk campaign, when he consented to be a candidate for the Legislature. A description of his appearance at this time—1832, when he was 23 years old—is interesting. "He wore a mixed jeans coat, claw-hammer style, short in the sleeves and boattail—in fact, it was so short in the tail he could not sit on it; flax and tow-linen pantaloons and a straw hat. I think he wore a vest, but do not remember how it looked. He wore pot-metal boots." His maiden speech, delivered at a sale at Pappsville, 11 miles west of Springfield, was spiced by participation in a general fight which had followed the sale. Lincoln, seeing one of his friends giving way before the onslaught of an angry ruffian, interposed. He descended hastily from the platform, edged his way through the crowd, and seizing his friend's antagonist by the neck and seat of his trousers, threw him "12 feet away," as one witness insisted. Returning to the stand and, throwing aside his hat, he inaugurated his campaign with the following brief but juicy declaration: "Fellow citizens, I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance. I am in favor of the internal improvement system and a high (Continued on Page 2.) MARY CHURCH TERRELL AT MEHARRY AUDITORIUM DELIVERS ABLE LECTURE TO NASHVILLE CITIZENS — ENTERTAINED AT LUNCHEON ON SATURDAY NIGHT. That Nashville is a Mecca for intelligent and cultured Negroes, can not be better demonstrated than by the large audience that greeted Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell at Meharry Auditorium last Friday night. Although the weather man did his worst in christening the gowns of the many who attended, yet the drawing card was so strong that in spite of the downpour of rain, long before the hour for the program to begin, the house was well filled. To say that Mrs. Terrell was at her best is only to say that she was herself. Her subject, "Why I'm an Optimist," was handled with such logical reasoning and elegant flow of language, yet with such ease and composure in deliverance, that the audience was held spellbound. She is a woman of whom the race is proud. She is a member of the Board of Education of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Terrell was introduced to the audience by Dr. J. A. McMillan, who spoke of her preeminent position among women and the good she is doing for Negro womanhood. The orchestra, under the leadership of Miss M. E. Braden rendered some excellent music as did the glee club, especially in Jubilee songs. Mrs. Terrell Entertained. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was entertained at luncheon last Saturday night by Mrs. Eddie M. Dickerson. Mrs. Dickerson's spacious parlors and dining-room were decorated with crimson and black, and a large Walden flag hung from a peculiarly shaped gourd which hung on the wall just above the piano. A short musical program was rendered which consisted of piano solos by Miss M. E. Braden and Mrs. Hammond; vocal solo by Miss Lady Emma Phillips. Toasts were said by Dr. J. A. Kumler, on behalf of Walden University; Dr. R. F. Boyd, on behalf of the Alumni of Walden; Hon. J. C. Napier, on behalf of the Citizens of Nashville; Mrs. C. A. Phillips, on hebalf of Fisk Alumni; Dr. H. T. Noel, on behalf of Faculty of Mehairy Medical College. Mrs. Terrell was becomingly dressed in a London-Smoke gray directive embroidered gown of broad cloth with yoke of all over lace and diamonds. Miss A. L. Bell and Miss. Lillian Bright assisted in receiving the guests. Mrs. Mabel Overton has been confined to her bed for several weeks with lagrippe. FARMERS' AND CITIZEN'S SAVINGS BANK. Palestine, Feb. 6: The doors of the Farmers' and Citizens' Savings Bank of this city were thrown open to-day for business. It marks the opening of the first distinctively Negro bank in what is known as East Texas. The interest in the banking project has been kept at fever heat in the city for the past five or six months. Massmeetings have been held all over Anderson County, of which this city is the County-seat, and to-day the results are evident. The institution is unincorporated but is chartered under the laws of the State of Texas and is the third Negro bank now operated in the great Lone Star State. It is located in what is known as Hall's Hall on the East side of McKnight Plaza. The encouraging feature of this new financial institution is that they began business with a paid up capital stock of nearly $10,000.00. The shares were disposed of liberally bringing $5.00 each. Prior to the opening of the bank a mass-meeting was held at the City Hall on Thursday night where the roll was called and the number of shares held by each stockholder was announced. A ratification of the officers was the feature of the mass-meeting. But to-day all calculations were upset and all past efforts so far as the Negroes were concerned in the business world were outdone. Hundreds of citizens from the city, the county and adjoining counties took advantage of the occasion to witness the opening exercises. The program for the opening provided for an address by W. R. Pettiford, D. D., of Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Pettiford is president of the Alabama Penny Savings and Loan Company of that city, as well as being President of the National Negro Bankers' Association. The officers and directors of the institution left no stone unturned to assure the public that the bank would be operated on banking lines. The President, E. M. Griggs, is one of the most prominent men in the state, while the Cashier, Mr. H. L. Price, has been associated with the business enterprises in this city for more than a quarter of a century. The officers are E. M. Griggs, President; T. W. Daily, Vice-President; S. J. Williamson, Attorney; H. L. Price, Cashier; C. A. Dial, Assistant Cashier; and J. L. Randolph Secretary. A great boon to the stock of this new bank was the turning over of all the holdings of the Palestine Loan Company, a real estate concern that has been in this city for many years, to the new bank. The Negroes throughout the county have expressed their confidence, first by electing men of their choice, and second, by depositing their funds and taking stock. STEPHEN DAVIS BOUND OVER. The chief of the detective force Saturday afternoon changed the charge of disorderly conduct against Steve Davis who has been held by the police since last Thursday night in connection with the killing of his wife, Kate Davis, to the charge of murder. This action was the result of the securing of added testimony by the members of Lieut. Sidebottom's force of detectives in the case. A man, so it is said, has been discovered who was with Davis Wednesday evening, when he made two trips into the western section of the city in search of his wife. This witness claims that he saw Davis meet a woman, whom he believes to have been his wife, as she was getting off a street car, and saw the two after talking together, walk in a westerly direction. The confliction in Davis' first story that he returned home early Wednesday night at about the hour of 9 o'clock and the statement of Sam Talley, who says that Davis woke him up at 11:30 o'clock that night at his home on the Hillsboro Pike and remained there for two hours, served to make the officers believe that Davis is the man that they are looking for in the case. Judge Baker bound Davis over to the criminal court on Monday and he was transferred to the county jail. TWO RUNAWAYS. A few days ago Dr. Hale's black horse became frightened and ran away. The doctor and driver were thrown out of the buggy, but fortunately sustained no serious injuries. The horse was considerably bruised while the buggy was completely demolished. Last Monday while Dr. Hale was making a call his bay horse became frightened and ran away throwing the driver to the ground, and damaging the new buggy, purchased just since the accident of last week, considerably. The driver was not hurt. No. 6 Headquarters Will Be Centrally Located. BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR HUNDRED BOOKS AND MAGAZINES ALREADY ORDERED— ONLY THE BEST LITERATURE ACCEPTED—PRACTICALLY NO NEGROES ALLOWED TO USE BOOKS FROM CARNEGIE LIBRARY—THEY PAY TAXES BUT RECEIVE NO BENEFITS THEREFROM — MEANS TO FOSTER PROJECT IN SIGHT—THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL SEE THE NEED OF SUCH AN INSTITUTION. What will be known as a Circulating Library has already been formed in this city by some energetic Nashville citizens. The library is to be opened at an early date. It will be up-to-date and thoroughly equipped with the latest books from the best authors. An effort to learn more about the details and the working of the library has not, as yet, disclosed any facts other than that the library will be located in a central portion of the city. A young lady, competent and fully able to serve the people will be stationed there. About three hundred volumes of the best books with many magazines has already been ordered, said a gentleman, who is supposed to be connected and who seemed to speak with authority. It is known, however, that the movement is actuated by the fact that few, if any Negroes at all, are allowed to get books from the Carnegie Library which is supposed to be operated by the city through the munific gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie and maintained at the expense of a special appropriation from the city of Nashville coming out of the taxpayers and property owners. It has been said that one or two members of the race have been permitted to use the library, only to get books through the recommendation of some white people. That they are not allowed to use the rooms, is a fact that can hardly be denied, hence the younger element who want to read and keep posted must either buy the books to read or do without them. The plan of the proposed library among the people of Nashville is to allow as many as want to and will avail themselves of the opportunity to get the best books on the market, books ranging in cost from $1.00 to $5.00, to read and return them to the library within a limited time on condition that the books are kept clean and in good order. The cost for establishing the library has been practically solved. Yet no philanthropist has made any special donation, but it seems that the promoters have sufficiently felt the pulse of the general public and are convinced that by a small fee to be arranged according to the time the book is kept out the expense of the library can be met and new books purchased as they appear on the market. Further arrangements for announcing the arrival of new books have been made with the Globe through the manager, and each week a list of the latest books by the most prominent authors will appear in the columns of the paper. Particular attention will be given to the books written by Negroes. The first one hundred volumes of library books ordered, said one of the promoters, were books from the leading and most celebrated authors in the race. The entire work of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Chas, W. Chestnut, Booker T. Washington, and such others as are prominent in the literary world like Alexander Dumas and D. Webster Davis will be offered to the reading public. There will be interesting little story books for children. The magazines and newspapers will be on file and a reception and reading room is to be kept in connection with the library. The exact date of the opening has not been decided upon, but it is to be some time in the spring or early summer. The hours for the library will no doubt be fixed in accordance with the de mands made upon it by the reading public to be announced later. 2 ONE HNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY (Continued from Page 1.) protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected, I shall be thankful; if not it will be all the same." He was defeated, as he had expected to be. But it was the only defeat he ever suffered at the hands of the people. NO COMPROMISE WITH WRONG. Let us be diverted by none of those sophistical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and belabored—contrivances such as groping for some middle ground between the right and the wrong; * * * such as a policy of don't care on a question about which all true men do care; such as Union appeals to yield to Disunionists, reversing the divine rule and calling, not the sinners, but the righteous to repentence; such as invocations to Washington, imploring men to unsay what Washington said and undo what Washington did. —From Lincoln's Cooper Institute Address Feb. 27, 1860. THE OBJECT OF THE WAR. This is essentially a people's contest. On the side of the Union it is a struggle for maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men—to lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to clear the paths of laudable pursuits for all; to afford all an unfettered start and a fare chance in the race of life. Yielding to partial and temporary departures from necessity, this is the leading object of the government for whose existence we contend. I am most happy to believe that the plain people understand and appreciate this.—From Lincoln's First Message to Congress July 4, 1861. LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. LINCOLN'S CENTENNIAL. While no direct celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln is being held in Nashville to-day, there have been during the past week many meetings in the various parts of the city commemorating this centennial. Able addresses have been made on more than one occasion, but foremost of all and the one claiming to live longest and keep greenest of the large Negro population of Nashville who take off their hats and bow their heads to-day in memory of the "Rail-splitting Statesman," was the able address delivered by Prof. Wm. C. Fickens, of Talledega College, of Talledega, Ala., before what shoulde have been a very crowded house at the Howard Congregational Church, Twelfth avenue, N., on last Sunday evening. Prof. Pickens is one of the ablest and most cultured young men before the public. His record at Yale alone stands out in bold relief against anything that might be said about the Negro's inability to attain a high education. It can be said that he has come up through life almost like Abraham Lincoln; from humble birth with no opportunities, without being known, he has slowly but surely within a dozen years since leaving the State of Arkansas climbed to the topmost rounds in the educational world. When he graduated from Yale he challenged the admiration of all by his scholarly and able addresses and had it been generally known that he would appear Sunday evening at Howard Congregational Church, standing room would have been at a premium. The failure to announce this to the public, which is ever perusing the columns of the Globe to find out what is going on or what has happened, is due to some one who had charge of the coming of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1909. Prof. Pickens. Notwithstanding the failure of the public to known an appreciative audience was present at 7:30 when the exercises at the church were opened by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Imes, by singing. Invocation was offered by Rev. H. A. Boyd. Prof. Pickens was introduced in very flattering words by the pastor. He spoke for one hour and ten minutes on Abraham Lincoln as a statesman. One would have thought, from his easy mode of speaking and his able address, that he had been personally acquainted with the venerable president, following him from early boyhood up to and through his able career. He gave life to his address with many pleasant anecdotes and showed Mr. Lincoln in and out of office as president. He said that the first order Mr. Lincoln gave to the military forces was the one he gave to the Black Hawk Regiment when it reached a ravine when there was a certain space to pass in single file. Mr. Lincoln did not know how to give the command to single file, so he said: "Gentlemen, you will disband and assemble on the other side." But, as Commander-in-chief of the United States Army, he was greater even than Lee and Grant. The audience never tired of his interesting and entertaining discussion as it was Lincoln from beginning to end. After the address the audience gave a free-will offering for the benefit of the church. COMPILING SEPARATE COACH LAWS. There is now appearing in the National Baptist Union, a religious paper, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, published weekly in this city, an exact copy of the Separate Coach Laws that are enforced in all state in the Union where separate coach laws have been enacted. The publication of these laws, as stated by a prominent minister, a member of the National Convention, is in compliance with a resolution passed by that body in its last session at Louisville, Ky. There has been a committee appointed sometime prior to the meeting of the national body to get an exact copy of the laws. The committee consisted of Rev. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville; Miss N. H. Burroughs and Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville. Their object was to post the members of their convention as well as the race in general on the law as it appears on the statutes of the various states. It is said that the law provides for separate but equal accommodation, and judging from the text of those brought out last week in the Union in some of the state, Arkansas, Alabama, and so on, the law appears to be as first stated. It is learned that when these laws have all appeared in this religious paper they will be put in book form so that every member of the race, whether North or South, East or West, will have an opportunity to become perfectly acquainted as they traverse the different states with the law as it is and can demand an enforcement of the same by the railroad companies. It is calculated to do great good as few people even the well-informed know absolutely anything about the Separate Coach Law better known as Jim Crow Laws on the railroad and street cars. Dr. Boyd stated last week, when asked about the matter, that he had gotten it up with this committee at an enormous expense. A special attorney was employed to take the law from the statute books. All of this was done in compliance with the order of their national body. At the reading of the committee's report last September much interest was created, and one of the best speeches on the subject is said to have been made by Miss Burroughs who will speak in this city sometime in April. WHAT ABOUT NEGRO BANKS? From time to time the financial department of the Nashville Globe has taken a great deal of interest in serving wholesome news items as they have been gathered. This has come by hard work and persistent writing from one to five letters to each of the banks operated by the race. These articles have created no little interest in all sections of the country from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. The exchanges, both secular and religious, newspapers and magazines, daily and weekly, have commented at length upon it. One paper after another has not only commented on it, but reproduced our bank articles in full which is evidence of itself that the people are watching what the Negro banks are doing in the various states. As has been said before in these columns it was not generally known even among the well informed how many Negro banks are being operated. A gentleman operating a large business concern at Kayford, West Virginia, has been particularly attracted by our recent bank article or Negro banks, which was reproduced in the Charleston West Virginia Advocate; another one was mentioned in the Allen Student, of Columbus, S. C., and still another by the leading journal of Los Angeles, California. Hardly a report whether semi-annual or annual, of any of the forty-two banks now operated that could be secured for the Globe has failed to appear in the past twelve months. Letters of inquiry for the Globe have come asking for informa tion and advice on organizing and conducting a bank. An enterprising business man of Franklin, Tenn., was in the city last week with the avowed purpose of getting full information on the way and the manner in which many of the banks were conducted. He was not slow to declare that he, like other business men of Franklin, had been inspired by the continued able bank write-ups and reports that have appeared from time to time in our papers and they were willing to put forth an effort to do something for themselves. In a conversation with the finance man of the Globe the Afro-American citizens of Franklin will soon be operating a bank of their own. Other cities in close proximity to Nashville, where the Globe is continually read, and in other cities where these articles have been reproduced, will unquestionably be inspired to the same amount of activity. HISTORIC CHURCH BURNS. Had Been Scene of Important Gathby Dr. R. H. Boyd. Special to the Globe Special to the Globe. San Antonio, Tex.—While a furious gale was blowing during the cold snap, which struck this city last week, the historic Mount Zion Baptist Church, on Santos street, mother church of this city so far as Baptists are concerned, was burned to the ground. Several adjacent buildings were at the same time destroyed. The wind was blowing at a velocity of about 70 miles an hour coming directly from the north. The firemen worked heroically, but could not save the buildings. This church was made famous from the fact that the Negro Baptists of Texas in their state convention which was held in this city in 1892 split in this church. It was practically the starting point of a dissatisfaction, out of which came what is now the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in Nashville, Tenn. Your correspondent learned from authoritative sources that the Baptist family fell out over what was commonly known among them as the "Unification Scheme." There were those in favor of it and those against it. Great preparations were made at the convention held in San Antonio to adopt it. One of the principal leaders opposing the Unification was Rev. R. H. Boyd, who was at that time pastor of the Mount Zion Church. Leaders on the other side favoring Unification were prominent and under the leadership of Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, who was president of the Texas Baptist State Convention and pastor of New Hope Church at Dallas. The convention met harmoniously in the ill-fated structure and after opening, came the split. It was estimated that those opposing the Unification and those favoring it were about evenly divided. The names of both of these conventions after this famous meeting, became known as the "Old Convention" and the "New Convention." The church has not had many pastors, although it has been standing for many years. The first pastor was the venerable Rev. Nat. Shelton, one of the oldest ministers of the state, who kept it until his retirement from active ministerial work, Rev. R. Rivers succeeding him. After serving a time he was succeeded by Rev. J. M. Rayford. It was 1891 that Rev. R. H. Boyd was called and accepted the church. He left to take charge of the state work after the convention split, as Superintendent of Missions, for what was afterwards known as the "New Convention," but which was really the General Baptist Convention. Leaving this work, he went to Nashville, Tennessee, where he established with the aid of the convention the National Baptist Pub. lishing Board. Rev. H. H. Williams, now of Galveston, Texas, succeeded Rev. Boyd and Rev. Henderson, of Houston, Texas, succeeded Rev. Williams, Rev. Curry was the last pastor. Thus, the record of the church, which was recently destroyed is compiled from the days of its organization, before the Emancipation, up to Friday night. At one time it was the most noted church in the state, especially on account of its Sunday-school and its Wm. J. Simmons Literary Society. These two meetings drew from the professional, the business and the better class of people and was the pride of this Alamo City Plans for the rebuilding of the church are already being thoroughly discussed. ATLANTA'S NEGRO BANK. After waiting a long time to see what other cities and the Negro would do toward supporting other financial concerns, it seems that Atlanta, the recognized metropolis of the state of Georgia, and one of the greatest cities in the South, where thousands of Negroes live and enjoy an extensive business in the various commercial lines and where scores of men of profession have succeeded to a great extent, has at last decided to move out of its state of lethargy and operate a Negro bank. The information comes from reliable sources that the institution has already been opened and that it is known as the Atlanta State Say.

Special inquiry letters have been sent out from Nashville to ascertain the facts, but no report has been received. One of these letters went to the editor of the Atlanta Independent, a man who is supposed to be informed, but up to Wednesday no report had been received. It may be that the Atlanta bank like many other Negro concerns has started out to do business on the quiet, that is, not giving out information to newspapers but this would not be like the great city of Atlanta, where the claim is made that the race deposits more than $1,500,000.00 in white banks. "But, past records convince us," says the finance man of the Globe, "That no difference is made when in search of information that is to be handed out and which would, no doubt, do great good to all of the people." In case the rumor is confirmed about the Atlanta bank, it will, we hope, be contagious to other cities in the state of Georgia, like Augusta, which can boast of a good many Negro enterprises; Rome, divided into many sections by its waterways, but losing none of its prestige as a business center; Columbus, Waycross, a thriving railroad and manufacturing center, or Macon, where one of the best annual fairs and one of the largest distinctively Negro schools in the South is located.

HOUSTON, Miss., Fef. 9—Roby Bas- kin, a negro youth, self-confessed slay- er of Rey, W. T. Hudson, to-day paid the penalty of his crime with his life at the hands of several hundred citi- zens. The lynching was accomplished without the disorder usually attend- ing the work of a mob, The prisoner was secured without resistance, and accepted his fate as a matter of course, sullen and without a word of entreaty or prayer. He was hanged from an elm tree within 200 yards of the coun- ty_jail. Yesterday the same mob gathered about the jail intent on inflicting sum. mary punishment. At the entreaty of the local county officials, who urged that efforts be made to secure speedy trial and the law be allowed to take its course, declaring that if such were possible they would protect the negrc with their lives, action was deferred and a messenger sent to Booneville where Judge A. 0. Sykes is holding court, with a request for a specia term. This Judge Sykes declined tc call, and to-day the same mob reform ed, went to the jail, where the negré was surrendered and the lynching ac complished, Sheriff Bean, of Okolona, arrived a Houston just as the negro was bein: hanged, but too late to prevent thi mob's action.

THE LINCOLN CENTENARY. To-day in every part of the United States the people are celebrating the natal centenary of Abraham Lincoln, the savior of his country. This great American stands with Washington in point of invaluable service to his country. He had received his preparation in the hard school of adversity and when the tremendous task of saving his country from a destruction of itself fell to his lot as the Nation's Chief, he was prepared to perform it. In the darkest hours of that eventful period, when other men faltered because, of doubts and misgivings, he patient, clear-visioned and determined, had but one fixed purpose and that was the salvation of the Union. However men may have looked upon him in those stirring times that tried the souls of all, they look upon him memorially in a different light now. Lincoln was one of the few men who were not born to any one people or country but to all the world. His achievements in the cause of freedom will be a boon to mankind to the end of time. His statesmanship based upon his great common sense was of the highest order. No man ever faced a more prodigious national crisis than that which confronted Lincoln after the first shot fired at Ft. Sumter in April of 1861. For four years hundreds of thousands of men from both sections of the country, North and South, fought, bled and died for opposite principles and beliefs arising from different construction of the Constitution. But towering about all of the principal characters that took a part in that awful and tragical war drama arose the figure of the patient Lincoln, truly a man of destiny, born for such a time and such a purpose. His task is done and he has gone to his reward, leaving behind the results of a noble life as a priceless heritage for all times. And to-day the majority of American citizenship bow in reverence at the tomb of Lincoln to pay homage to his memory. It is one of the noblest instincts of the human soul to pay tribute to the memory of the good and great. So it is fitting that we dedicate to-day with appropriate ceremonies the birth and service of the martyred Lincoln. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell, of Washington, D. C., delivered a lecture on "The Progress of the Race" at Meharry Auditorium Friday evening, February 5. The audience that greeted her taxed the capacity of the spa THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1909 cious building and was composed of some of the most intellectual, cultured and refined people of the city. Mrs. Terrell is not only one of the best known, but one of the most scholarly women of the country. She has traveled extensively in this and foreign countries, having also studied abroad, all of which has tended to enrich her mind with that broad and liberal culture which has made her one of the most proficient and efficient educators and lecturers of the day, as was so brilliantly manifested by her recent lecture in this city. Her strong and forceful argument, happy and pointed wit, lucid and expressive illustrations, clear and tellingly drawn deductions, in short, her superb command of language and easy and graceful delivery make her an eloquent speaker whose hold or control of her audience is magnetic and captivating. It is easy for those who heard Mrs. Terrell to understand why she was in such demand to lecture elsewhere on the Continent and in England after the delivery of her great address before the World's Federation of Women's Clubs which met in Berlin, Germany. This address was delivered both in German and English and created much note and comment at the time in the press on both sides of the ocean. It was an intellectual feat that would have been creditable to any woman of any race, and it is all the more remarkable because of the fact that it was the effort of a woman who is the product of a people that are not removed more than two generations from American slavery—a condition which was crushing, blighting and demoralizing. Wherever she spoke across the sea she was a living refutation of that lie which had gone its rounds over there that the American Negro was a moral pervert incapable of high intellectual attainments, Christian culture or civilization. We wish to emphasize again by saying that she is a living contradiction of that stereotyped misrepresentation that went from this side that the Negro is a hopeless ignoramus. She is due much credit for what she has done at home and abroad for the uplift and in defense of her people. Mrs. Terrell is one of the gifted women of her people, and her optimism or belief in their brighter future is so great and she expresses it so earnestly that it becomes decidedly contagious and inspiring. By her active and useful life she is setting an example worthy of emulation by the young women of her race who are preparing themselves for life's work. Conspicuous among the names of those whom other generations will delight to honor will be that of Mary Church-Terrell. IN EVENT OF WAR. The Pacific Coast States and the interior Rocky Mountain States contiguous thereto by their drastic anti-Japanese legislation crusade are fomenting a strife or creating an international situation between Japan and this country out of which neither can come with honor without letting slip the dogs of war. The situation is already too strained and delicate to be made more so by further agitation of hostile Japanese legislation. Those Pacific Coast people are carrying their race antipathy too far, as may be observed by the efforts being put forth by the national administration to impress that fact upon them. Both President Roosevelt and other strong men, such as Speaker Stanton, of the California Assembly, are trying to stay the wild fury and pour the oil of common sense and reason on the fanatical race hatred of the people of the Western Coast region. It does seem impolitic, nay, the hight of folly that they, a few hundred thousand, should involve the nation—eighty million of their fellow country-men—in an expensive and stupendous war with one of the bravest and most warlike as well as one of the greatest naval powers of the world. Yet this is just what they are devil bent to do. When Speaker Stanton, of the General Assembly of California, left the chair he said, among other things: "We are treading on very dangerous ground, and I can feel the soil slipping from under me. The people for God's sake should be conservative and not attempt to force through anti-Japanese legislation at this time. I am not an alarmist, but when I say that such a bill, if enacted, will precipitate a crisis I am stating the matter conservatively, and I take it that the people will know what I mean." This is significant not only for what it expresses, but also for what it does not express but is meant to be understood. Japan has not only the powerful vessels with which she utterly annihilated Russia's great naval fleet, but that part of it that was not sent to the bottom of the Sea of Japan. And the men who are doing all in their power to silence those Pacific Coast fanatics are doing so to prevent Togo, the world-renowned naval chieftain, getting his eagle eye on the defective or vulnerable parts of America's fighting machines which have been so minutely pointed out to all the world by Reuterdahl. Such men as Roosevelt and Stanton are trying to stave off at least for the present a naval conflict between the two countries. If the navy of this country should be worsted in an armed meeting with Japan, then the Japanese would intrench themselves upon the Pacific Coast with the friendly barrier of the Rocky Mountains between them and the rest of the country. What it would take to dislodge them is enough to make the prophetic weep to think of it. In the event of war between the two countries of which we are speaking and in event of the Japanese defeating the United States navy and taking possession of the Pacific Coast, it goes without saying that this country will have to pour over the Rocky Mountains every class of its masculine population without regard to color or condition to expel those fighting little war devils. Of course the Negro, despite his present status quo as a citizen, will be expected to be as patriotic as when Crispus Attucks fell in Boston, the first in the Revolutionary struggle, in the war of 1812, in the great civil strife of 1861, and in the Spanish-American military operations. The day is going to come soon or late when the maltreated and disfranchised Negro will be called upon to help defend his so-called country. A disregard of law in one of the Sovereign Commonwealth of the South is summed up thus: "Mississippi mob lynched a Negro for murder of a minister. Judge refused to convene court to try him. No resistance offered by jail authorities, and the affair was conducted in an orderly manner—victim confessed committing crime." Every time one of these frequently orderly mobs butchers a Negro without any semblance of sanction of law, he always, according to the gentlemen composing the orderly gang of executioners, confesses to the crime. Ye gods! this kind of thing is bad and becoming more frequent every-day. Why such haste in murdering men by mob courts when the legal machinery is always accessible? This is too bad! An ordinance has been passed and is operative against expectorating or spitting on sidewalks and in public buildings. This is a splendid law, and a rigorous enforcement of it will be in the interest of public health. The sidewalks on certain streets and avenues, such as College, Cherry and Jo Johnston, north of Cedar, are still the favorite receptacles of spitters who disregard the law which is intended to prevent this nuisance. Those who continue the filthy practice which comes within the meaning of the anti-spitting ordinance should be hustled before the proper authorities to account for their indiscretion without hesitation. The people at Palestine, Texas, opened their banking institution with appropriate observance last Saturday under President E. M. Griggs and Cashier H. L. Price, and business amounting to more than eleven thousand dollars was transacted, nine thousand dollars worth of capital stock was sold and more than two thousand dollars deposited. Those at the head of this financial enterprise are men of integrity, thrift and business experience. Such enterprises as well as the other meritorious things the Negro is doing show his optimism and determination. There is much below the surface of all the efforts that have been made in high quarters to hold down the recalcitrant Californians. President Roosevelt and others deeply concerned have succeeded in staving off the objectionable, anti-Japanese legislation, but they had a hard fight to do so. There are too many murders being committed in this community. It will soon have the reputation of Memphis and Birmingham for reckless regard for such capital crimes. Here of late not a week passes that the public is not all agog with some sensational murder. All persons violating the laws of their country should be punished, but such punishment should be meted out in accordance with those laws. Well, it is plain that the confirmation of the Crum nomination for Collector of the Port of Charleston will go by the board. In the Gallatin affair which story is correct, the first about the cook or the second about the warrant? HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. The Heliotrope Club met at the home of Mrs. J. H. Franklin, Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. S. F. Shelby recited "Over the Sea," and Mrs. Chas. Cotton recited "Suicide Pond." The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Martha Parrish, the other guests being Mrs. Author Mitchell, Misses Ada Bedford and Bessie Franklin. Delicious refreshments were served The next meeting will be with Mrs. Wm. Hill, on Ewing avenue, February 23rd. CONCERT AT WOODFORK CHAPEL. In the Thriving Town of Shelbyville. The people of Shelbyville were treated to a concert on Thursday night, February 4, that is seldom equaled by local talent. The entertainment was given by the noted Nightingale Quartette from Turner Normal College of Shelbyville, under the direction of Miss M. L. Brookins, who is at the head of the musical department of that school. The quartette was assisted by local talent, and they rendered a program that could not be otherwise than highly pleasing to every one present. The participants acquitted themselves grandly, every rendition receiving tremendous applause. Miss Brookins is making an enviable reputation as a music teacher and conductor of concerts and cantatas. Turner Normal College is being rapidly brought to the front by the popularity of the singers and readers going out from there. President Jones acted as master of ceremonies and appeared to be highly pleased with the impression made by the students from his school. Shelbyville citizens are deeply interested in this school. The merchants have long since realized what it means to them, and they are lending every encouragement to the president and trustees. There is not a town in the state that is more progressive, and the fact that Turner Normal represents people from every section of the state makes it the more prominent and influential. NARROW ESCAPE Mrs. Martha Watkins, of Blank street, had a narrow escape from serious injury while passing along that thoroughfare between 6 and 7 o'clock a night or two ago. A man in front of her was acting suspiciously, and Mrs. Watkins asked him what he was trying to do. The reply was "Madam, if you had not spoke I would have blown your brains out with this gun. I thought you were an acquaintance." The fellow then put the revolver in his pocket and quickly disappeared in the darkness. K. A. M. W. CLUB The K. A. M. W. Club enjoyed a delightful meeting on Tuesday evening with Mrs. Mary Allman on Ament and South streets. The reception room was ornamented with green plants. Mrs. Janie Brown delivered an interesting address in behalf of the club. During the social hour light refreshments were served to the following: Mr. and Mrs. Mann Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sumner, Mrs. Janie Brown, Miss Ellen Cartwright, Messrs. John Flemming, Giles Thornton, Jr., Edwin Dillahunt, Edward Anderson. Meeting adjourned to meet next with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sumner. WHEN SUCCESS IS CERTAIN. Does Success follow some people? It certainly does and "there's a reason." Success is a highly self-respecting quantity and never creeps about after any one whining for admittance into his life. The only way to succeed in the superlative degree,—to attract all that you need to you—is to take a deep and living interest in the work in hand. There is as much difference between a living interest and a duty (dead) interest as there is between the positive certain rapture of love at first sight and the uncertain vitality of cultivated affection. Under the latter conditions, success sometimes takes on sufficient life to prevent an entire demise, and in some instances has managed by main strength, even for years, to avoid breathing the final breath. Such "success" is not certain. It is like the artificial man made by man. It may not be depended upon. Or like the pet gold-fish that begins to waver and swim uncertainly in its confining globe. It is only a matter of time when the moribund fish will float to the surface a lifeless corpse. In just this manner does a despised business or occupation finally die an unnatural death. Success cannot live in such an atmosphere. There is a great deal said about concentrated definite thought as a means to success. Definite indeed, must both thought and action be and concentration is a prime factor in success. But concentration and definite thought and action are merely the natural adjuncts of the attention that comes only with a vital living interest in one's business. This imperative demand upon the attention is secured only in conjunction with definite loving interest in your work. One who is truly and intensely interested in his work will attract to himself through the law of like attracting like, much valuable assistance from others thinking along similar lines. He will "connect up" as it were, with that current of thought. To succeed you must not let your mind wander to other lines of work during business hours. It may readily be seen that this sort of vagrant thinking would create chaos in the mind and hamper the main issue. Variety may be the spice of life, but it is seldom the bread and butter. He who dislikes his work repels the very forces that would make for his success. Hate of work, accompanied by the most superhuman physical efforts, can never hope for more than indifferent results, for the reason that failure is its natural goal. If you have mistaken your work and are on the wrong trail, turn about if possible, and re-locate yourself, harmoniously. If, for any reason, this is impossible, then apply all your common sense, turn on all your will-power and philosophy, and say: "I will learn to love this hated work. I will do this work better than any one ever did it before. I will take pride in doing my work in the most perfect manner possible." "But," you say, "my work is beneath my dignity and capabilities. I cannot love it." What is dignity? A mere myth of the imagination. What is capability? Why, the person who is capable of making an unlovely task a work of love and beauty by putting a beautiful mind back of it, is capable of anything he wishes to undertake! No matter how ignoble the work is classed, it becomes grand and noble in the hands of such a workman. He knows that mind is master over matter. He transforms his work; does not let it transform him. Happy he who earns his daily bread by doing work that he naturally loves; but failing that, he may at least rule his work and shine on. It will in time serve as a stepping-stone to something more to his taste. Success hangs round such a person of this,—a sort of skillful, grown-up Cupid who aims and always hits the mark. For such there is no failure, unhappiness or poverty. PINK CARNATION CLUB On last Friday evening, February 5, the Pink Carnation Club gave its first social at the home of Miss Bessie Mayses, 1307 Fourteenth avenue, North.

Prof. F, J. Work and Mrs. Nannie I. Summer-Work, who were married in Indianola, Miss., February the fourth, arrived in the city Wednesday morning and are now at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Riz, 922 Warren street. The bride and groom are well known in this city, having lived here all their lives. They have a host of friends here and throughout the country generally who will wish them a happy union. Prof. F. J. Work is one of the leading young men in America. He is universally known for his musical genius. When quite a boy he conceived the idea that the song generally known to the world as jubilee songs, but what are in reality folk songs, should be preserved, and he set about to investigate that feature of the American Negro's history. He has compiled and set to music hundreds of these songs that are acknowledged by the critics to be the most popular music today before the American people, and the only original music. Mrs. Work is one of the leading young women in the city of Nashville. She was for several years chief order clerk at the National Baptist Publishing Board. Prior to that time she was connected with some of the leading educational institutions in Mississippi, and was just recently with the largest banking and insurance concern at Indianola, Miss. She was a leading spirit in the H. T. G. M. Club of this city, --- GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN It has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst our beloved friend, Miss Josie Bennet, whom we loved so dearly. She carried sunshine and laughter wherever she went. Oh! how we miss her! No more shall we hear the fall of her footsteps; no more shall we hear those cheering words of consolation for her voice is hushed in death and her spirit has gone to the God who gave it; her soul is anchored in the Haven of rest where there is no sickness, sorrow nor death. Resolved, That we mourn her loss believing that the Lord doeth all things right and that our loss is heaven's gain. In her death the Sons and Daughters of Abraham have lost a good and faithful member. But we can only bow our heads in humble submission to God and say, the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh, blessed be the name of the Lord. A friend, (Miss) ALBERTA DABNEY. 6 BAPTIST MINISTERS IN A NEW ROLE. On Monday at the regular weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, the chairman, Rev. T. J. Townsend, inaugurated another new feature to the already interesting meeting. This had been suggested by several of the members and upon a favorable vote it was adopted. The new feature will be the organization of the conference into a literary and musical club upon a very high order. It is their intention to give religious concerts and entertainments at the various churches. This is said to have been agreed upon by organized Baptist churches in the practically the entire membership. The fact that there are forty-two city and nearly all of them have pastors means that it will take some time to get around to the various churches; but, ere they make the rounds, the results will be plainly seen. It is known that there is talent, both literary and musical, in the membership. This has been demonstrated on several occasions, especially when the late Mrs. Josephine Price-McNairy had the celebrated "Ministers' Conference" at Mount Olive Church. After the adoption of the new feature, the regular weekly business was taken up and disposed of, which includes the church reports. Last Sunday being the first Sunday in the month all of the reports were encouraging and showed a financial gain over previous years for the first Sunday in February. There was a Music Committee appointed to further the purpose of the new feature consisting of J. C. Field, E. M. Lawrence and J. B. Mullins. A different plan for the reports of the churches was also adopted. Heretofore the names of the pastors of the various churches have been called and he made the reports. From now on the name of the church will be called, the pastor for the church will answer with a quotation and then make his report for the previous Sunday. Hence the churches will be more generally known than heretofore. SCOTT CASON MURDERED. Scott Cason about 50 years of age, who lived at Flat Rock, was killed between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock Saturday night at the hands of an unknown murderer. The killing took place near the shoe shop of Robert Black, at 1242 Fourth avenue, South, and the proprietor is being held by the deputy sheriffs pending a further investigation of the case. Gussie Cohn, Blenora and Bertis Majors, who were found by the officers in close proximity to the scene of the shooting, were also taken into custody Saturday night, but were released Sunday morning after they had told their stories. The deputies who made the arrests in the case were Warren, Borum, Stark, Scott and It is claimed that conflicting statements made by Mr. Robert Black and the women who were arrested made the officers believe that the shoe dealer was holding back knowledge of the tragedy. The women were confined in different cells after their arrest and on Sunday, when interrogated, they told practically the same story of the affair. Mr. Black says that Cason was standing more than 100 feet north of his shop when the shooting took place, while the women stated that the shooting was done in the immediate vicinity of the shop. The manner in which Cason was lying when the officers found him and the fact that the blood from the wound did not appear on his clothing, as it naturally would have done he run 100 feet after being shot, lead the officers to believe that Mr. Black's story of the affair is incorrect. A basket which Cason had been carrying was found sitting on the porch and his hat was in his hand as he lay dead. These signs tend to strengthen the officers' belief that he met his death at the hands of some person in the store at the time. The shots took effect in the head and shoulder, the latter proving fatal. Cason was found with his head on the ground and the rest of his body resting on the platform just in front of the shop. JNO.

Boyd, ha's been on the jump this week in the interest of the coming meeting, which is to bring such a large delegation of Sunday-school workers to this city. Aside from conducting an enormous correspondence from the office, he has been out for the better part of the week, visiting some of the cities of Tennessee and Kentucky. He left on Tuesday night, going to Clarksville, Tenn., Hopkinsville, Earlington, Madisonville, Henderson, Owensboro and Louisville, Ky., and Evansville, Ind., where, among other things, he went to arrange for special parties to run down to the Congress. Already letters are pouring in from every quarter saying, "We are coming," so the people of Nashville wil have a "full house" in June. SHOOTS- WHITE MAN IN SELF- DEFENSE. Dixon Springs, Tenn., Feb. 9.—(Special.)—Charley Nunley, a young white man about 22 years old, was shot by John Woodfork, a negro teamster, at Riddleton, this county, Monday night. Nunley and Woodfork were in a store in Riddleton about 10 o'clock, and became involved in an altercation. Woodfork left the store and, going to his home nearby, was followed by Nunley who was threatening his life. Seeing his life in imminent danger, Woodfork secured his shot gun and fired on Nunley in self defense. The wound was not considered a dangerous one, and it is believed the wounded man will be out in a few days. Woodfork evidently had no desire to kill his assailant as he was only a few feet from him when he fired, and he realized that he must shoot to save his life. After the shooting Woodfork disappeared and so far has not been apprehended, although Sheriff Dean and a corps of deputies are making a vigorous search. IMPROVEMENTS AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. A few Sundays ago, when the thermometer was registering in the neighborhood of zero, the heating facilities at St. John A. M. E. Church proved inadequate to the demand. The Sunday-school services were held in the pastor's study and no attempt was made to hold services in the auditorium at 11 o'clock a. m., the uncomfortableness rendering it unwise to do so. Quite a number came at the usual hour only to be informed that there would be no services. Rev. A. Brooks, the pastor, and the trustee board resolved that a similar condition of affairs should not happen. They at once set about to remedy the defect. The first step taken was the installation of a new furnace on the north side of the house. This one was in operation last Sunday, and in itself gave sufficient heat to make the church very comfortable, but to be able to have it warm the coldest day that comes, the old furnace that has been used exclusively heretofore has been placed on the south side, thereby doubling the heating capacity, which will be a sufficient guarantee that any one can go to St. John DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS?

These games determined the winners and elimination of teams in the pennant race. In the first game the Freshmen met the Juniors. The Freshmen by their marked improvement in basket throwing and passing proved a hard knot for the Juniors to untie and held the 1910 boys to a score of 4-4 in the first half. However, in the second half Sykes, the star forward started dropping in the ball and the Freshmen were defeated after a hard struggle. Kelly and Bond starred for the Freshmen. The final score was The Seniors and Sophomores, the principal contestants for the pennant, then started in their hot battle. In the first half the machine of the "caps and gowns" men did not seem to be in order and the outcome of the game seemed doubtful. When they appeared for the second half confidence arose in the Senior ranks and Brumfield and Smith started the famous clockwork. This worked and they succeeded in walloping the Sophs to the tune of 16-8. Upshaw was not able to play his star game under the guarding of Green. Brumfield was lightning fast and played the best game of his life. Line up: Juniors. Freshmen. Sykes . . . Forward . . . Kelly Ellison . . . Forward . . Washington Flowers . . . Center . .

It is with pleasure that the public hears such news. It only goes to show that the schools are coming closer together along all lines and it will only be a few years before they will have worked up a spirit of friendly rivalry that will tend to bring out larger crowds to their games. It is indeed gratifying to know that the schools have gotten together along this line and may this be a stepping-stone to greater things. There is a movement on foot among the young men of Nashville to build a baseball park for the coming season. The Globe man has heard considerable talk along this line and has been wondering why our business men have been so delinquent in taking this matter in hand. That it is a great opportunity for investment cannot be denied. The Negroes of this city are ready and waiting for such an undertaking and should these young men be successful in getting the park up and put a good team in the field there will be little trouble in drawing good crowds to see their games. Nashville is about the only city where the Negro teams have no place to play baseball. Even the smaller towns are more fortunate in this respect. One has only to stop and think a few minutes before he will come to the conclusion that such an undertaking means nothing but success. There are 40,000 Negroes in Nashville. Say that one-tenth of that number are lovers of baseball, and certainly there is not less. It simply means that 4,000 people will go to see the games were there a suitable place for them. Now say that eight games are played each month and that the admission charged is 25 cents per game. You have now 4,000 people at 25 cents each, an income of $1,000, which would be sufficient to keep the game alive. Give the people good, fast clean ball, and they will come out to see you play. The next question is, Where will you find opponents for the team? That matter is easy. Right around Nashville are such towns as Lebanon, Clarksville, Gallatin, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Memphis, Columbia. Then ocasionally such teams as Birmingham, Atlanta, Louisville, Indianapolis could be brought in to make the season more interesting. All of these towns have good teams. They have been to Nashville, why not come again? It simply means that Nashville is slow to take up progressive ideas. Let us have a baseball park for Negroes, where we can take our sisters, daughters and wives, and then we can have a first-class team. The field is open; let these young men get the park up, put out a good team and thepublic will come out to see them play. GALLATIN MOB A mob fast forming in Gallatin Tuesday night for the purpose of taking from jail Alex Whiteside, who cut Deputy Sheriff Thomas Dunham almost to death last Thursday night, was foiled in its purpose by the spiring away of the Neguo and bringing him to Nashville. Sheriff J. F. Carter was at the train at 7:40 o'clock Tuesday night when a large number of men from "over the ridge" came in and stuck together like sheep. He was expecting a mob and on seeing all these men coming to town he made investigations and found that his expectations were justified. He went immediately to the jail, secured a two-horse vehicle, and accompanied by Deputy Sheriff James Patterson, started with their prisoner by a circuitous route to the Davidson County jail, arriving here about 12:30 o'clock this morning. Whiteside was turned over to Night Jailer Manning and confined in one of the cells in the new jail. Thursday night Deputy Sheriff Thomas Dunham went into that district of Gallatin called "Brucetown," one of the tough sections. He held a warrant for a negro thought to be in that vicinity. In his searches he was accompanied by Harry Braswell, an employee of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at that place. They went to a house where a number of negroes had congregated with hope of finding their man. In the crowd there was a negro said to have an old score to settle with Officer Dunham, and this negro, who was none other than Whiteside, was sitting rather behind the door when the officer entered with his pistol in his hand. Whiteside rushed up behind Dunham with an open knife and snatching the officer's pistol, he began to slash him in the back. Several wounds were made in the back of the head and another between the shoulders. The negro escaped but was arrested Friday night. Monday night Mr. Braswell, who was in company with Deputy Dunham when the cutting occurred, went into a barn, and while in there was attacked by two negroes and severely assaulted, being choked and kicked into insensibility. Another Account Gallatin, Tenn., Feb. 10.—Bloodthirsty men from all parts of the country assembled in Gallatin Tuesday night and at 11:30 o'clock about 200 visited the jail to demand Ely Whiteside, who cut Deputy Sheriff L. T. Dunham Tuesday night. Finding that Whiteside had been removed to Nashville by Sheriff Carter, the crowd dispersed about midnight. A number of pistol shots were fired, but it is not known whether this was done by them or by outside parties. Henry Scott, who was arrested on suspicion of being one of the men who whipped Henry Braswell, who was with Dunham in the Brucetown affair, was arrested by Sheriff Carter and placed in jail. But after last night's affair and also hearing rumors to the effect that Scott would be in danger to-night if left in jail, Sheriff Carter drove with him to St. Blase, four miles from here, and there boarded the 2 o'clock train this afternoon and proceeded to Nashville, where he will leave Scott for safe keeping.
