THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. NEGRO THRIVING IN THE FAR WEST KEEPING APAGE WITH THE TIMES ALONG ALL LINES. Los Angeles Daily Times Paints Glowing Picture. MOST FITTING TRIBUTE TO THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN-EIGHT-PAGE ILLUSTRATED SECTION TELLS THE STORY OF THE COLORED CITIZENS — LIEUT.-COL. ALLEN ALLENWORTH, U. S. A., WRITES INTERESTINGLY ABOUT NEGRO SOLDIERS—ONLY PURELY AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY. The most unique way of telling the world the real meaning of the recent general celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was that set forth by the Los Angeles Daily Times, of Los Angeles, Cal. Their eight pages of special news concerning the accomplishments of the Negroes since the emancipation proclamation was signed will go a long way toward setting forth to the world the wisdom in the act. Lieut.-Col. Allen Allensworth, U. S. A., retired, writes interestingly of Negro soldiers in the army. He says in part as follows: There is quite a difference between the Negro and white soldier. The elements entering into these conditions are worthy of mention. First it should be remembered that the organizations composed of Negroes are the only purely American organizations in the army. Other regiments may take to themselves the American name, but examine the roll and you will find them mixed as the colors of Joseph's coat—Irish, German, French, Italian—all the strains under the sun. The enlisted Negro proclaims loudly the fact that he is the only Simon-pure American child of the soil for more generations than he can count. The only naturalization record in his family was written more than forty years ago from Sumter to Appomattox. It is remarkable that when an officer is promoted out of a Negro regiment he seeks transfer back to it because he finds these Negroes to be the best material to develop into efficient soldiers. An officer who came from a white regiment said to the writer that the white soldiers he had handled had changed his nature. This, I am inclined to think, is not a condition that obtains now. Then a large number of the Bowery class of other conditions are better, hence a better class of white men. necessary for a soldier in the Negro. Nature gave him excellent gifts of limb and constitution. The color of skin, texture of hair, solidity of cranium and perfect teeth were his safeguards against the malignant climate of Africa. Transplanted, he bore well the semi-tropical climate of the Southern States. Generations of servitude failed to impair his physical virtues, but rather enhanced them. He was proof against heat, and could endure the pangs of hunger and thirst with peerles fortitude. Under slavery he was overworked, poorly fed, partly clothed, wretchedly housed and cruely treated until his body grew ill-shaped. But his rapid recuperative powers have been proven by the fact that in a single generation since his escape from bondage he has grown back into the magnificent heritage of his savage forefathers. What is more, he has developed wonderfully in mentality. Instead of the elongated head and peculiar forehead which used to be the characteristics of his race, he has a normal head, with wide-apart intelligent eyes, nose and mouth finely chiseled, and all the lines that tell of self-control and self-respect. In addition to these new traits he has retained the old virtues. His teeth are NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1909. representative of unusually sound bones throughout a massive body. He has an amiable disposition, a sunny nature and a happy-ego-lucky spirit even under the most trying circumstances—Indispensable attributes in a soldier. He is gentle, submissive, teachable, strongly attached to those who treat him with kindness, slow to anger, but not easily soothed when aroused. His devotion to sentiment, whether of friendship or religion, is intense. He is sentimental in the best sense. His bright fancy and romantic thoughts lead him to the enjoyment of fiction and poetry, and had he been trained in the schools, these departments of belles-lettres would have been his debtor. Such a man makes an ideal soldier. The Friends He Made. The ordering of a Negro regiment to a garrison or post near a city results in protests sent in to the War Department to revoke it. This was the case when the Twenty-fourth was ordered from New Mexico to Fort Douglas, Utah. After it was there a year the Republican paper that was against it makes this appeal for them to remain at Fort Douglas: The act of sending the Twenty-fourth infantry to the Philippines would seem an imposition on this regiment, simply because they are regulars and have no one to intercede for them at the department, as have the state troops. This regiment occupied the trenches at San Juan Hill from the time of its capture at about 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 1st, until about 8 o'clock the evening of the 2d of July, when they were relieved for a short time, having to reenter them when the attack was made on that night. It may be that other regiments did the same, and that the Twenty-fourth is no more entitled to a longer stay in the United States than any other; but where is there any other regiment in the United States, or any other in the world that performed such duty as this regiment performed after the surrender? The people of Salt Lake City hope that the War Department will reconsider the present intention in the interest of humanity, if for no other cause. The war with Spain was waged for the interest of humanity. During the Spanish-American War and Filipino insurrection the President desired to give the Negro an opportunity to prove his loyalty and show patriotism. This called up the same old fear, and many were the doubts. The section devoted to the Los Angeles Negroes shows several of the churches and residences owned by them, the appearance of which is an evidence that the colored citizens on the coast are posessed with that pride that leads to success. MARYLAND SCHOOL MATTERS IN BAD PLIGHT. From the clipping below it is evident that the Negroes in some parts of the State of Maryland are being very unjustly treated by the public school authorities: "The policy of managing the schools of Annapolis ought to call forth a protest from every right thinking person in Annapolis, without regard to race. Only think of the dire results of turning over eight hundred children out upon the community, in ignorance and idleness nine months in twelve. Then the thought that a child has but one chance to go through life makes the fact of going through ignorant more horrible. "The white schools are kept open for nine months, the colored only three. Some of us kicked; then a few dollars were found to reopen the industrial branch, and two rooms for the full term. "The benign purpose out of which our common school system has grown was to afford to every child, without regard to race or rank, the best possible facilities to fit them for good and useful citizenship. Nor was it intended that these facilities should be limited to the amount of revenues arising from the exclusive amount of taxes paid by any race variety, but from the common school fund for the common good. What the Negro fails to afford in revenues from his properties he yields in profitable labors. But you can't get these "three R's" disciples to agree on anything more equitable where the Negro youth is concerned."—Afro-American Ledger. Mr. Henry C. Brame, has returned to the city from Shelbville, where he was called to attend the funeral of his brother, Mr. James Brame, whose remains reached that place from Cincinnati Saturday morning last. The Chrysanthemum Art Club was entertained last Wednesday by Mrs. Dan Keeble. DOUBLE RESUR- RECTION NEEDED LOCAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE SLEEPING PEACEFULLY. Negro Business and Professional League Ditto. NATIONAL BODY MEETS IN LOUISVILLE — NASHVILLE SHOULD BE FULLY REPRESENTED — NO CITY IN THE COUNTRY SURPASSES THIS FOR PROGRESSIVE NEGROES—GREAT BUSINESS ENTERPRISES HERE—MANNED BY ABLE MEN WHO ARE SUCCEEDING—FACTS OF PROGRESS WOULD STARTLE WORLD—WHEN WILL "RIP VAN WINKLE" DISEASE DISAPPEAR? The Negroes in Nashville are the equal of any in the country from any point of view taken. This city has long boasted of being the Athens of the South. Her public school system is second to none, and modern methods are being introduced from time to time. Her colleges and universities are known all over the country and in foreign lands. In view of these facts the outside world naturally expects to find here a thrifty enterprising people working harmoniously along all lines. They expect for the Negroes in Nashville to be engaged in all lines of business and each man pulling for himself first and then for his neighbor. In other words, they expect the Negroes of this city to be enterprising and loyal, and to have to grasp every effort put forth for the benefit of the race, and join their brethren and help push these movements to the highest point. If a man is looking for a city to locate in and engage in business, he would without a moment's hesitation decide to come to Nashville and cast his lot. On coming here if he should by chance be a merchant, he would first inquire for the business league headquarters, and what would the answer be? He would be informed that the business league is taking a culet snoop. He would probably ask about the organization known as the Business and Professional Men's League, to receive a similar reply, or he might be informed that the infant body never did get on long pants. Such is Nashville's plight so far as her business interests are concerned. The men are doing business, and none of them are making assignments. So seldom does a Negro concern fall in Nashville that the whole city is stirred when it happens. Nothing is thought or said of a white man falling, but the Negro men who go in business here do not fall. This truth establishes the fact that they are well balanced men, and if organized and active they could be of great help to each other and criterions to thousands of others who are struggling in an effort to stay on their feet. When the National Business League met here about five years ago, the men engaged in business were organized on short notice and the visitors were startled to see such an array of sturd; overplants; and even the citizens and business men of Nashville opened their eyes when they saw the front they were able to make. Great strides have been made along all lines. Business enterprises have been established and are meeting with rare success, and every day some new concern is throwing open its doors to the public. There were no banks here then conducted by Negroes; now there are pristically two. There were three printing offices then, now there are five. No seating and cabinet manufacturing plant; now there is one; no architects; now several; one livery stable; now three; no parks, now two assured. And so it goes on and on. The Negroes here are a surprise to themselves; but the outside world is more greatly surprised to see all of this material progress, kept under a half bushel. It cannot be charged to selfishness for these men are the very best of friends; nor can it be charged to ignorance for they are men of more than average intelligence. The question would be asked then what is the reason? The only answer it seems plausible to make would be "Resurrection Needed." The National Negro Business League meets in Louisville, Ky. The citizens here, and particularly the merchants, entertain a very friendly feeling toward the people in the falls city, and for that reason the merchants in the Kentucky metropolis will expect a large delegation to visit their city on that occasion and no doubt a very great number will attend the meeting, but individuals cannot represent an organization. Other cities have their local leagues, and furthermore their state leagues; and hold regular meetings. They come together and discuss every phase of business and all return to their homes feeling that they have been benefited for having attended the meeting. That a league was organized here goes without saying, and the general impression seems to be that the thing needed is a resurrection of what exists, and put new life into the old body and make it active. Arouse her from that seeming intent to take a "Rip Van Winkle" nap and start her on with the procession. VICTORY IS WON BY FORAKER IN HIS FIGHT FOR DISGRACED NEGRO SOLDIERS. Senate Passes a Bill to Restore Their Rights and Roosevelt is Certain to Sign the Measure. So far as the United States Senate is concerned, the Brownsville affair became a closed incident early this evening. By a vote of 56 to 26 the Aldrich substitute, so called, was passed, all the affirmative votes being Republican and all the negative being Democratic. The Aldrich bill is somewhat of a compromise between the bill introduced by Senator Foraker, of Ohio, and that of Senator Warner, of Missouri, that represents the Administration view of the character of the legislation that ought to be enacted. The Aldrich measure, however, embodies the salient principles of the Foraker bill, which was that the Negro troops discharged by the President without honor on account of the shooting up of the Texas town in August, 1906, should not be required to establish their innocence of their participation in the affray before reinstated in the army. The bill provides for a Court of Inquiry consisting of five officers, to be appointed by the Secretary of War. to investigate any charges that might be brought against members of the dismissed battalion, and report within a year upon their eligibility for reinstatement. It contains no requirement that the men should first prove their innocence, but virtually puts it up to the Government to establish their guilt; otherwise they are to be restored to the army rolls, given their pay for the period they have been out of the army, and invested with the civil rights of which they were deprived by the President's order. Victory for Foraker. This is a substantial victory for Senator Foraker, who has been contending for more than two years for the maintenance of the old principle of jurisprudence that the discharged soldiers should be regarded as innocent until proved guilty. It is expected that the Aldrich bill will pass the House before the end of the session, and inasmuch as the President was consulted by the Senator from Rhode Island before he introduced the measure and acquiesced in its provisions, he will sign it before his term expires. LABORER UNEARTHS $20 GOLD PIECE. One of the laborers engaged in excavating for the new building of the Union Bank & Trust Company found a $20 gold piece yesterday afternoon. The find created much excitement among the crew, and very slow progress was made with the work for the rest of the day as every workman insisted in carefully examining every shovelful of dirt thrown out. The old building that occupied this site had been used as a banking house for the past fifty years or more and its old time vault had been the storage place of many thousands of dollars and valuable stocks and bonds. The place was once the banking house of the late Mr. Thomas Marr and later it was occupied by the Landis Banking Company. It is supposed that the $20 gold piece found was dropped by some one of the former occupants and it went through a crack into the basement where it had lain for years. GREAT K. P.

MADAME ANITA PATTI BROWN FAMOUS SOPRANO SOLOIST, COMING TO NASHVILLE. Madame Anita Patti Brown, a product of the Chicago Musical College, will in the near future make her appearance in this city. She will give several concerts here in the leading churches, and Nashville's music-loving public will receive a rare treat in her coming. Mrs. Brown is the possessor of a sweet, clear and high soprano voice. In addition to this natural gift, she has had several years of the best training under competent teachers at the Chicago Musical College. In her art she displays great capability and usually elicits the hearty approval of her audience from the start. Madame Brown's southern tour will be managed by Mr. Evans H. Tyree, one of Nashville's best tenor singers. Mr. Tyree recently returned home from Chicago on account of the illness of his father, Bishop Tyree, and in looking over the field he at once decided that the people in and around Nashville would appreciate the advent of a singer of Madame Brown's calibre, and it was through his efforts that the trip was arranged. Mr. Tyree and some of the best local talent of the city will assist in these concerts. So the people in Nashville it is assured will be treated to a series of entertainments that have seldom been equaled here and which have never been surpassed. DIES ON STRET CAR. Mattle Collins, a middle-age colored woman, died Friday night on a street car on the Glendale line. She had been to St. Paul Church and had boarded an outgoing car at Lea avenue. Near Fogg street she fell over dead. The car was held at Wetmore until Dr. J. H. Hale could be summoned. He pronounced her death due to heart trouble. The woman was a servant of Buford College, and was on her way there when she died. NEGRO DOLL FACTORY FOR LEX INGTON. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 18.—Prompted by the movement set on foot here last September by the National Colored Baptist Association to establish a manufactory for making Negro dolls for the use of Negro children, Charles Porter, a young Negro artist of this city, has manufactured several of the dolls which he intends for models. Porter's models are of dark tint with kinky hair and a natural similitude to the Negro. The models are attracting much interest among leaders of the race here and a factory for the manufacture of these dolls may be located here or at Nashville, Tenn.—The Kentucky Reporter. MISS BERRY ENTERTAINS. Miss Lucy Berry entertained a few friends from 3:30 until 7:30 p. m. last Thursday evening. Whist was the main feature of the evening.

The pastors and members of the various churches and friends of the city extend their heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Flagg and family and commend them unto our Heavenly Father, who is able to succor and keep them until the perfect day. MASQUERADE SUPPER A delightful mask party suprised the Misses Louise E. and Alberta Douglass last Thursday at their homes, 1005 Fairview avenue. Music and games were the main features of the evening.

Sam Turner, Will Jones, Dr. Elwood Lewis, Northcross, Bullock, Hicks, Washington, Rucker, Williams House, Will Young, Mansfield Anderson. Invited guests were Misses Johnie Overton, Mammie and Fannie Johnson and Mesrs. Albert Allen and Mays. Dr. Lewis presided at the piano. YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Young Men's Literary Club met with the President, Mr. E. L. Kinzer, on last Monday night, February 22nd. Quite an interesting program was rendered among which was a "pecunia contest" and "quotational contest." At the conclusion of the program light refreshments were served and each was presented a small basket by the host, which reminded all of the Great George Washington. The President made a few remarks concerning George Washington. The debate of Friday night was won by the affirmative, Mesrs. Berry Leach and Galloway. The visitors of the evening were Messrs. Murrell and Taylor, who acted as judges of the debate. The next meeting will be with Mr. Overton Carter, 1401 Fourteenth avenue, South, at the usual time. DR. COLLETT VERY SICK Information comes from reliable sources that Dr. J. H. Collett, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern in Philadelphia, Pa., is very sick at his home in Maryland. This condition of affairs will greatly hamper matters at the Eastern publication branch of the A. M. E. Connection for the illness of Dr. Collett means that both of general officers at that point are incapacitated. Dr. Johnson editor of the Christian Recorder, has been indisposed for some time, and unable to perform his duties. This will cripple two of the oldest printing and publishing mediums conducted by the Negro. The embarrassment will be only temporary, however, as it is a known fact that the progressive men of that Church have overcome many besetments that were in reality more serious than these. NASHVILLE LANDS ANOTHER GENERAL OFFICER OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH. A. M. E. CHURCH. That the eyes of the thinking men of the A. M. E. Church are centered on Nashville is evident by the number of general officers of the connection locating here. Up to last May there was only one of the departments in this city, but at that meeting the many advantages in being located here were noted. Dr. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Preacher's Aid Society, was the first to come. He was shortly followed by Prof. Kealing, the editor of the A. M. E. Church Review that had been published in Philadelphia, Pa., but dispite the fact that the magazine had been issued from that city for over a quarter of a century. Prof. Kealing saw the wisdom in moving to a more central point. The last general officer to come to this city for a permanent location is Dr. Caldwell, who was elected Secretary of the Endeavor Society at the last General Conference of the A. M. E. Church in Norfolk. The branch of the work of the African Methodist Connection is in its incipiency, but the new Secretary has given the work special study and his constituents are expecting great things of him. He is a young man and full of ambition. Dr. Caldwell will find a host of friends in this city engaged in a work of a like nature to his. He will find them big hearted men who will join him in his efforts to help humanity. A PLEASANT EVENING. Mrs. Woods, of 710 Tenth avenue, South, entertained a few of her friends Wednesday night. February 17. Games were the feature of the evening. A two-course menu was served. Those present were: Mrs. Francis Smith, Mrs. Celia McKnight. AZALEA ART CLUB. The Azalea Art Club, lately organized, was charmingly entertained by Mrs. W. Boyd at the residence of Mrs. H. Ransom Monday night, February 15. The meeting was opened by a song and prayer by the Chaplain, Mrs. Crockett. Then the routine of business was taken up and at roll call each member answered with a quotation. A delightful program was rendered. Mrs. M. Snowden sang a solo and Mrs. W. Boyd read Hiawatha and Miss Lela McCluer, of Clarksville, made a very interesting talk 'o the club, after which the guests were in- WSE BROS.

THE. NEGRO NOT IN IT. Things are happening in this state in the way of political machination that are attracting widespread atten- tion. Never before in the history of partisan politics has there been such _a general upheaval or departure from time-honored tenets and dogmas of. the faith, Democrats and Republi- cans are jolly-good-fellows well met, and they are hobnobbing and throw- bouquets at each other in’a way that is enough to make the most cynical smile and the serious, who imagine they scent danger, sit up and take cognizance of the situation. ‘There is no denying the fact that the political muddle in this state is one that will take years to settle. A new condition has arisen that will require @ readjustment of party lines. It i necessary for the lexicographer to find a new name for this new coali- tion of Republicans and Democrats, if the future historian, in writing the history of this eventful period, is, tc properly denominate it so as to make his story of this coalition intelligi- ble and valuable as historical data. So unusual is the coming together of these erstwhile adverse or antag onistie political elements or forces that it is creating widespread atten tion and concern, It is. the opening wedge that has torn asunder the ok order of things.

Some effort was made some time ago to get the Legislature of this state to consider the vital need of an indus- trial school for the colored youth. ‘There should be no let up in trying to impress upon the present Legis- lature the necessity of making pro- vision for the establishment of such an institution, It is needed and needed badly, and this fact is well known and should be pressed for all it is worth, Spasmodic efforts do not count for much; it is the united, steady and continued pull that moves things or brings them to pass. ‘Are those who have undertaken this task, as representatives of the people, doing their full duty to accomplish it? This inquiry is made not as an intimation of any fast or loose playing with the confidence reposed in them by the people, but more as a sugges- tion that the matter should be urged at this present term of the Assembly. ‘There is nothing to be gained by de lay. The Normal, Agricultural and Me chanical College Association is an or- ganization which has for its especial purpose the memorializing of the Leg: islature to establish @ state college or school, where the youth of the colored people can receive that training and instruction which will best prepare them for industrial pursuits. The state owes this much to: its. colored population, inasmuch as it comprises about a fourth of the state's entire population and is contributing a pro portionate share of taxes or revenue The grand old Volunteer State through its assembled representatives is not likely to ignore this worthy enterprise based upon the just an¢ sensible claim of its colored people It is not likely that it will lag any longer behind many of the othe Southern States that have provided state institutions for the industria education of their colored yout wherein they may be fitted for intelli gent and useful citizenship.

The inaugaration of a President of the United States is one of the great- est events in American national life. It is an occasion whose impressive glory and grandeur keep pace with the growth and greatness of the na- tion. It is one that makes Washing- ton, the Nation’s Capital, the Mecca toward which wend the steps of the lofty and the lowly—statesmen, high churchmen, men of letfers, science and art, soldiers, politicians and citi. zens. Next Thursday, March the 4th, Wil liam H. Taft, of Ohio, will take the oath of office as the twenty-secon¢ President of the United States. As is conceded he comes to that exaltec station better prepared, because of ex perience gained from having _ fillec some of the most important , diplo matic positions of his country, thai any man who ever occupied it. H is a trained statesman, a distin guish jurist, all of which will mos likely make him a cautious and saf Executive whose administration wil be wisely conducted. Mr. Taft has been preceded by som jof the ablest of American statesme who have made enviable history fo their country, and it is hoped that b | will give to the country an admini ||tration that will insure peace an || prosperity. Of course, there will ev: .|be problems to solve, but if he us ‘|for their solution, such principles ¢ -|are warranted by the Constitution a s}elements of American citizensh' s|should be satisfied. r| Mr. Taft as President will pilot tl lJold Ship of State after the fourth | .|March. On board are eighty milli among whom are ten million colored people who ask as citizens a mainten- ance of their rights as guaranteed by the organic law of the land. They are as deeply interested in the wel- fare of this country as any of its peo- ple and hope for him a wise and suc cessful administration. . ee Secretary of War Luke E, Wright comes out of the Cabinet with the passing of the Roosevelt administra- tion, and Secretary of War J. M. Dick- inson goes in with the Taft adminis- tration. Both of these men are South- erners and both are Tennesseans. This is significant and means that more than spasmodic efforts are being made to land the old Volunteer State in the republican column. Phis Cabinet appointment is the straw that indt- cates the course of the political wind. Mr. Taft's eye is on dear old Tennes: see. Mark our prediction, and watch developements! The Aldrich bill authorizes the President to appoint a court whose duty will be to determine the quali- fications for reenlistment of the dis- charged-without-honor soldiers of the ‘Twenty-fourth Infantry Regiment of the United States Army. Sleuths Baldwin and Browne-and the rest of the gentlemen who were anxious to brand the black men with the stigma of the Brownsville affair failed. Cal the Dill a compromise or anything else, we care not, but! the paramount thing which stands out magnificently is Foraker won and the soldiers are exonerated. If Alabama has an extra session of its legislature a bill for compulsory education will be presented. A meas- ure to that effect was frightened to death at the last session of that body by the ghost of Negro children. The trembling relators of that ghost story were solons who hailed from the “plack belt.” Tillman, of South Caro- lina, is one of those who take fright when compulsory education is men- tioned. ‘The tale that used to go the rounds in days of old that the Negro could not learn, no longer holds a place in the belief of “our friends.” Judge Terrell, of Washington, D. C., is all right. He is a Harvard man and that is equivalent to saying he is a capable man.. Don't lose your temper because he is a Judge and a Negro. The two are compatible. ‘The President gives the Senate an other prod on its secret service tem erity, mussing up its even tempei which resulted in bringing a littl froth of displeasure to the surface. Jim Jeffries ought to talk fight with Jack Johnson, the world’s champion heavyweight, or else quit doing the megaphone act. Jupiter Pluyius reigned supreme Tuesday. As a result thereof millions of bacteria from the streets and al- leys are on their way to the sea. Recently Omaha, Nebraska, had a taste of brainless mob fury. As usual the innocent suffered and much prop- erty destroyed. See NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. Incapacitates Prof. W. H. Council, the Great Educator—His Work.

The only education he ever received was of his own seeking, reading in his miserable log hut by the light from pine knots after a hard day's plowing had been completed. Of all the hard ships he has had to bear, and the dis appointments he has had to face, thi: sickness to him is like a living death Dr. Councill at no time was othe: than an optimist with regard to thi future of the Negro. He constantly called attention to th fact that Southern legislatures gav money, in proportion to their ability for the education of the Negro, an every enterprise, every public and pr! | vate school and church was aided b: | Southern money and good will, with ‘lout which, especially the latter, non ‘|could have existed, TENNESSEE'S NEW COMPULSORY LEGALIZED PRIMARY LAW. For the benefit of our readers the Globe Publishing Company has deci- ed to run in the columns ofthe Nashville Globe in serial wh the law re- cently enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Tetlnessee. The bill was vetoed by Governor Patterson, who prefaced his veto by @ special message that will go down in histdgy as one of the ablest documents ever handed down by any chief executive of this great commonwealth. We give the bill to our readers in this form that they may intelligently in- form themselves on the new law. We would suggest that you clip the | portions of the law that appear and paste them in a booklet form and | preserve them for future reference. An “Act to establish a compulsory system of legalized primary law for political nominations; to create the agencies for its operation, and penal- ize its violation.” Section 1, Be it enacted by the Gen-| eral Assembly of the State of Tennes- see, That excepting the offices of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the State, Judges of the Court of Civil Appeals, Chancellors, Oriminal and Circuit Judges and Attorneys-General, all party nominations of candidates hereafter in this state, made for of- fices, county, state and congressional, ‘elective by the electors of the state, or for offices created by the Constitu- tion of the State, elective by the Gen- eral Assembly in joint session, shall be made in and by a primary elec- tion, held for each political party, in the manner, at the Umes, and under the requirements prescribed by this act; and unless this act is complied with, party nominations falling’ with- in the terms of the same shall not be placed upon the official ballots pro- vided for by the laws of the state for general elections; provided, how- ever, that this act shall not apply to non-partisan candidates, or to persons desiring to become candidates inde- pendent of party nominations; nor to persons of any other party affilia. tion, who did not, at the general No- vember election, next preceding the primary, cast more than (10) per cent of the entire vote in the state. And provided also that this act, as to nominations for county officers other than legislative members, coun ty executive committeemen and dele gates to state conventions to be chosen as hereafter directed, shall not apply when a county executive committee of the party it represents, not less than forty days prior to the first Mon day of April designated by this act as the date of the first and’ recur ring biennial primary elections, shal have provided for nominations for such county officers by some other le gal method than that prescribed by this act, but this proviso shall no relieve the County Executive Commit tees from the performance of such du ties as may be otherwise prescribe by this act. Sec. 2, Be it further enacted, Tha the representative civil dictrict anc ward committeemen of the politica parties of the state falling within thi | act, who shall compose as hereinafte prescribed, the County Executive Com mittee of a party, and delegates o Dr. Councill was essentially a dip- lomat. A diplomat whose one sole object was to advance the cause of the people of the South and contribute to the progress of. his race. President Councill was stricken with nervous prostration about seven years ago, but for some time was able to guide and control the work of his in- stitution. He had a very severe ill- ness last April, since which time he has been totally incapacitated. ‘The institution is now under the manage: ment of Dr. Hiram B. Archer, who for a number of years was Professor of Science, and a recent graduate in medicine from the Meharry Medical College. Dr. Archer was born in the South, and like President Councill, is fully able to grapple with the perplex ing questions incident to Negro educa: tion in the Southland. He fs at present called upon to look after much of the responsibility o! running the institution and in this re gard is rendering valuable _ service Dr. Archer promises to be of the samé¢ general character, following out th¢ policy adopted by its illustrious found er. The South is never loser in thé maintenance of such an institution that teaches its students to follow th even tenor of their own way, tryin in the best possible way to serve th | masses of their people who must liv Jin the South. )} ‘That the impress of the life an work of W. H. Council is firmly lef || upon thousands of the Negroes of thi . Southland, and that its people, wit! Jone accord, appreciate his noble serv ;| ices and sympathize with him in hi affliction, goes without saying, an ‘Jit is fitting that attention shall b 5! called to his great service while he ye “‘Hlives, The South will do well to er “l courage all such Negro men’ in wha ‘J ever efforts they may put forth to -| train Negro youths that they can, wit : ease and in good grace, fit in here an help uplift their people.

Bowsworth AN EXPERIENCED SICK NURSE 1704 Patterson Street. Chureh. Rev. T. J. Townsend offici- ated. Mrs. Ford had lived to the ripe age of seventy years, when the angel on watch took the wanderer in. Mrs, Ford had been a member of the church for several years. Her life was that of a true Christian. Now that she has departed this life, we may say, “Sweet flower, transplanted to a clime, Where never comes the blight of time.” For she lived such a beautiful life until she carried sunshine wherever she went. As she has crossed the river “Dear as the spot where Christian's sleep, And sweet the strains that angels pour, O! why should we in ‘anguish weep? They are not lost, but gone before.” CHURCH DIRECTORY.

FOOD SHOWER: A number of the members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church surprised their pastor, Rev. H. M. Burns, with a food shower on last Friday night.

The First Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Rev. Butler, is in a flourishing condition. Mr. James McCord, the kind, painstaking superintendent of the Sundayschool, is loved by all. A most striking feature is such a large number of grayhaired men with beaming eyes, listening and trying to learn of the meek Nazarene. The school under the management of Prof. B. Jefferson is doing well. He seems to be a Christian gentleman and devoted to his work. Messrs. Ed Sutton, Neal Boler Jack, Emmet Johnson and Nick Owen own nine farms as well as horses, cows, sheep, goats and hogs. Mr. Irwin Johnson, the blacksmith, doesn't fail to please his customers. We failed to mention Mr. John Owen, another land owner. About three miles distant, near the little village of Allisona, live many fine specimens of the horny-banded sons of toil. Mr. Sandy Johnson is said to be the wealthiest Negro in Williamson County. He resides on a farm of 100 acres, for which he paid $12,500 cash. It is the common report that Messrs. Sandy Johnson, D. Parish and Meredith Hatcher have enough cash to run the bank of Eagleville. R. D.

Hill, pastor of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, preached an excellent sermon last Sunday. Text: James 3:23. We put bits into the horse' mouth that we may guide the body. He said that men did not usually ride horses without bridles, signifying that Christians necessarily must bridle their tongue if they want to be the true children of God. To do this, he said, is when you are talking, do not talk about your brother, sister, neighbor nor friends. He said further, in talking about them many times you think you are gaining friends, which sometimes you do, but you are becoming an enemy to God and a tattler among the brethren in the church and bring destruction so many times on the whole church, and in doing this you are not a true servant of God. Therefore, he said last of all, but not least, cease to talk about your brothers, sisters, neighbors and friends, and visit the widows and orphans in their afflictions and keep yourselves unspotted from the world, which includes the whole of the Christian's life. Miss Minnie Campbell, of Nashville, formerly a resident of this place, is visiting relatives here this week. She is also, while here, arranging to have repairing done on her propty. The Boyd School is progressing nicely, and has good attendance. We hope for it much success. The health of the town is good at this writing. We have a fair representation of our race in this town, of the young ladies and young gentlemen and parents, all of whom seem to be very enterprising. Sunday-Schools.

He was a devoted husband, an affectionate father and a true and faithful friend. He was a member of the A. M. E. Church and one of the leading pioneers of Shelbyville.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1909. SPORT. JOCKEY J. LEE KEEPS ON WIN NING. A horse is not color preduced. He will run as fast for a black boy as he will for any other, be he white, brown or green or what not. The newspaper correspondents can tell their windy tales but the horse does not take any note of that. He runs. Writers of sporting news for several of the largest papers in the country are continually going out of their way to criticise Lee, and to pronounce him a has been, but the reports show that he keeps winning. He did in the South on all the tracts; he did in the middle West; he did it in the East among the best riders in the country, and he is doing it on the coast every day. Some others will outrank him in the number of races won, but Lee will outrank them all when the amount of money won is taken into consideration. The men who own horses want them, to win, and they get Lee notwithstanding he is as black as a piece of coal, and they, the owners, are satisfied. On Monday, February 22, he carried off the honors in the California Derby with High Private. The purse netted $5,360.00 to the winner. This is a very popular event and every boy wanted to win, but Lee decided that it was his and went after it the way to get it. *** Managers, get your ball teams together; the park will be ready for you. Your cry of no where to play has been heard and the answer is forthcoming. Now get busy and get your men together; there will be plenty of foes to fight. Nothing will be left undone to accommodate you. You can send your matter to the Sporting Editor of the Nashville Globe and we will be glad to publish the same. *** Bill Curtis writing in the Chicago Tribune says in part the following: But listen to what Jeffries himself has to say on the subject. "Johnson has been credited with talking a whole lot—and much of it is nonsense. The climax came when he said that he would insist on a colored referee. What has Johnson got to say, anyway, in case he gets a chance at the real heavyweight championship? He does not hold it. I never was beaten for the championship, and I have a right to name the terms, providing they are fair—if I box again." Well, we are glad to see Jeffries waking himself up. We can't take everything that he says as a Supreme court decision, however. He says he never lost the championship: that is true, so far as we know. But it was printed that Jeffries had turned his championship over to one Burns. Jeffries never denied this, although there was no secret about what Burns claimed. Under these circumstances we think that when Johnson fought Burns, under adverse conditions, for the championship that the victory of the black man looks pretty good as a claim for the championship, and we cannot listen to this Indian giver sort of done. As matters stand at the present time Jack Johnson is the champion heavyweight. Jeffries to the contrary not withstanding. *** Every veteran in the world has the right to all the glory which remembrances of his past valor bring to him, but we cannot see why a veteran has any right to come forward again and say he retains anything which he has won but has not kept by effort. We are of the opinion that Johnson would give Jeffries the fight of his life. This opinion may be wrong, but if Jeffries has really retired from the ring he should be glad to greet a new champion. If he has not really retired he should come forward and make a match with Johnson. At the present time Johnson is the champion, and until Jeffries drives him through the ropes in a ring contest we shall consider the colored man as such. Conversation is the easiest thing in the world to get and the poorest thing to bet on. Jeffries' talk about his still being champion sounds to us like press work. If he can beat Johnson, now is the time to do it. Otherwise he should hold his peace. * * * It is pointed out by men who are friends of Jeffries that he can make thousands of dollars in vaudeville without making a match with Johnson. This is all true, but nobody ever supposed he was an actor. There is no reason in the world for paying admission to see Jeffries do his stage stunt except that he is the man all the country interested in sport wants to see sign with Jack Johnson. The vaudeville business is great. We hope that Jeffries makes a million dollars out of it, if that is possible. But we refuse to regard him any longer as the heavyweight champion. Johnson is the man that owns that title, and if Jeffries wants to regain it he must meet the negro and win it. Moreover, after he has won it back where it belongs, he must be more careful concerning the man he gives it to. Our opinion is that if there is one man in the country who can defeat Johnson it is Jeffries, but it is also our opinion that to do so he has to go a lot more than the proverbial some. In other words, we mean that until big "Jeff" has met and disposed of Johnson we refuse to regard him as the champion. If Jeffries is through with the fighting game for good and all he is remembered as the heavyweight that could beat them all and who retired at the height of his glory. But if he is not through with the fighting game for good and all he has no sporting right to boast what he would do to Johnson and talk loosely about his prowess concerning the same individual unless he is willing to meet him in a match—and in that case he is not through with the fighting game. As a general rule the man who throws his hand down on the table has a right to watch and criticise the play so long as he does not introduce into his criticism the first person singular. * * * Basketball season closed at Fisk University several days ago and from reports the season was a very successful one. The four teams representing the different classes put up very creditable games of ball and the enthusiasm at times reached a very high degree. There was always a friendly rivalry and the supporters of the different class teams were always out to cheer the boys along. It is a surprising fact, yet it is true, that the people out in the city have taken a great interest in the sport and were going out at every chance to see the games. Basketball is a fine sport and anyone athletically inclined will like the game. It is fast, full of action and requires a lot of speed as well as endurance. It develops every muscle of the body. The young men playing the game seemed to have a complete understanding of the rules, and played the games clean with a little rough percentage of 800; had a very fast team with plenty science. They worked the ball better by short passes until they could get a throw at the basket. They did not use the long throw so much, and as a result their work was steady and netted better results. The other teams played well and there are some good players among all the teams. The manager is to be congratulated upon the outcome of the season, and it is to be hoped that the next season will see all the schools with basketball teams in the field. Many think the sport a fine one and when all the schools shall have teams it will furnish a fine midwinter sport. EXCERPTS FROM GOVERNOR PATTERSON'S VETO MES- SAGE. Under this Poll Tax law as a prerequisite for voting poll tax must be paid as under the general election law, and in my opinion this provision imposes an unusual and unnecessary hardship upon the voter and will prevent a large number of people from participating. This is the first attempt by the Legislature to limit by such a requirement the right of a member of any political party to express his choice for party nominations, and I believe it is an unconstitutional requirement. Under the Constitution of Tennessee "there shall be no qualification attached to the right of suffrage, except that each voter shall give to the judges of the election, where he offers to vote, satisfactory evidence that he has paid the poll taxes assessed against him." The terms "right of suffrage" and "election" as used, have no reference to the choice and its exercise by a member of a political association or party in the mere naming of candidates for office. But if the Legislature has the right to impose this limitation, it must apply it to all or the law is partial. Does this primary law again make exceptions in this particular? Without question the exclusions are more numerous that the inclusions. For under some other plan of nominations all the State officers expressly excluded from the operation of this law a poll tax would not be required. In nominations for county officers, under the primary law, payment of poll tax would be necessary, or if some other "legal method" was employed by the county committees, it would not be. So instead of having a uniform primary law applicable to all officers, as some people have been led to believe, our party nominations are to be thrown into confusion, with exceptions here, limitations there, restrictions without reason, and back of it all the ominous and menacing power of election boards to declare and fill vacancies in party nominations. No Pledge From Voter or Candidate. The omission to require a pledge from the voters to support the nominees is another serious objection to Credit at the Quality Store EQUAL TO TAILOR-MADE Most people find it hard to get together at one time the price of fist-class clothing.

Opposite Maxwell House. the primary plan, and neither is there a requirement that the candidates themselves shall be piedged to support their successful competitors. Before casting his ballot the voter is required to do many other things, to some of which I have already alluded, but this simple requirement of good faith is not exacted. This might have been an omission when the primary law was intro, duced, but on the passage of the bill in the House an amendment was offered and voted down requiring the voters to pledge themselves, and some reason must have existed for this action, though none is disclosed in the bill itself. Other Uncrasonabre Provisions of Primary Law. The time for hoisting the primary elections under the bill is the first Saturday of April, 1910. This date is both inconvenient and inopportune. It is unprecedented in the State's history to make party nominations at so early a date. To do so it will be necessary to have midwinter campaigns, when the people can not assemble to hear political discussions. Furthermore, the farmers are very busy about the first of April, and many cannot spare the time to attend the primaries and will, therefore, be disfranchised. This time of nomination to the time of election for State officers especially who are voted for in November, is altogether too long, and will keep the State in constant political turmoil. I have heretofore referred to the poll tax requirement and shall again in a different aspect. They must be paid as before pointed out before voting in the primary and become delinquent on the first of March. This provision of the bill will further disfranchise thousands of voters who, from lack of attention or inability, will not pay their poll taxes before the first Saturday in April. Another serious and, I think, vital objection to this primary law, is the enormous expense which it will necessarily entail upon the candidates. This may be borne by those who have or can command money, but the poor man can not offer for office under this plan. He would not only have to bear the ordinary expenses which this unjust and unfair primary plan would impose, but in Section 42 of the bill the committees are empowered to assess the candidate, and such assessment, to use the language of the act, "may be declared a condition against becoming a party nominee." I mistake the temper or independence of the people if they submit to such unparalleled usurpation of their rights. They do not know of these laws, or the Legislature would dare not pass them. It is my duty, in the independence of my office, to inform them, which I am doing in the method designated by the Constitution, with the hope that before it is too late, wiser councils will prevail, and the Legislature will reconsider its action.
