BATTLE AS A FRIEND AND COMPANION. By Henry Allen Boyd. By Henry Allen Boyd. Some one has said that, "a friend sticketh closer than a brother" and to my mind this is true for in the years that I knew Joseph Oliver Battle I found in him a friend and within the past-five years a constant companion, and if I should talk from now until I meet him on the happy golden shore, I could not say more that would express the relations that existed between us, the esteem with which I held him, the very chain that bound us together could not be made stronger that when I say: "Battle was my friend." Men, unlike women, have not the copious language to describe or portray their love for one another. In war they offer their love for one another by offering up a life in business they show their devotion to one another by sticking together up and down, in life they show their friendship by manly agreeing or disagreeing and yet, remaining the closest and sincerest companions. I have not a brother who confided more in me than did J. O. Battle, I haven't a brother in whom I confided more than I did him, and yet I have not expressed and cannot express our friendship or our companionship in a way that would give or begin to give the relationship that existed between us. It was in 1899, during the month of September when the National Baptist Convention mer. in Nashville, Tenn., that I met him and at once there arose a nearness which through correspondence of several years, be fore moving to Nashville had created a friendship which grew and grew until it resulted in that of a friend and companion. Then came business connections and interests that tied us together in one inseparable chain. His death is more than one could ordinarily bear. I did not see him in death. I remember him only in life and thus, through time down to eternity, I can remember him only as a living friend and companion. TWO BIG LECTURES. Burroughs to Speak Here. In an interview with Mesdames Flowers and Broughton, two active members of the Women's State Convention of Tennessee, it was learned that the last touches on the arrangements for the visit of Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky., have been made. Miss Burroughs is a gifted speaker and platform orator that challenged the admiration of all Europe and has held the United States in her own grasp for the past seven or eight years. She is to come to Nashville, and positively her first appearance in the city will be on Monday night, April 5, in the spacious auditorium of the Mount Olive Baptist Church. This will be known as the Big Nashville Meeting. Her next appearance will be for the benefit of the East Side. She will speak on Tuesday night, April 6th, in the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. Both of these meetings are under the auspices of the Women's Organization of Nashville. It might be interesting and indeed it is information to many people to know that Miss Burroughs is not only a speaker but a worker. Her work with the Women's Auxiliary Convention as Corresponding Secretary, her services that she has rendered from time to time to the Foreign Mission Board and the founding and building of the Training School at Washington, D. C., are three monuments that have been erected, and thus her appearance in this city means much to the twenty thousand Baptists of Davidson County. Many of the leading newspapers of the world speak in flattering terms of her. The Baptist Times and Free man, a religious paper published in London, England, had the following to say: "Miss N. H. Burroughs, who has become one of the noted personalities of the Congress, made an excellent impression. She has great oratorial gifts. Her pleasant features are those of a typical negress though she is many shades remove from black." Scores of the best newspaper utterances have been compiled and used from time to time but her greatest recommendation seems to be to hear her. Fully two thousand people will greet her first appearance in this city. Mrs. Nuegn Werdy of Franklin Tenn. spent a week with her sister in South Nashville. Mr. Ino, M. Fleuing, who has been quite indisposed for several days, is now on the road to recovery. BUSINESS LEAGUES AWAKENED GOMING OF ORGANIZER MOORE PROFITABLE. Local Business Men Have Two Leagues in City. MR. MOORE GIVEN TWO MEETINGS WHILE HERE—MUCH ACTIVITY EVIDENT AMONG NEGRO BUSINESS MEN—NEW ORGANIZATION SECURES CHARTER—LARGE DELEGATION PLANNING TO ATTEND NATIONAL MEETING IN LOUISVILLE NEXT AUGUST—MR. MOORE MAKING A THOROUGH CANVASS OF TENNESSEE—STATE ORGANIZATION PROBABLE. There seems to be a general revival of business leagues throughout the State of Tennessee. This has been brought about from the fact that Mr. Charles H. Moore, the national organizer, has been actively at work in the State. His visit to Nashville last week, lasting four or five days, is fraught with many good results. While in the city Mr. Moore was able to meet two special called meetings of business men. At both of these meetings he delivered able addresses. The last one, held on Friday night, was well attended. The meeting was held in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board and after preliminary remarks by the president of the local Business League, R. H. Boyd, Mr. Moore was introduced and gave a very plain, business-like address. At the close of this address, the interest of the business league ran very high. Mr. A. N. Johnson, who is the president of the Business and Professional League of this city, was one of the speakers. He notified the national organizer that their organization was not dormant and had not been since its organization; he further-stated that their secretary, Mr. T. Clay Moore, would be authorized to turn over sufficient money for a charter for their organization. There were a few remarks made by J. C. Napier, who is a member of the old organization and who stated that the charter which they held would serve as it had served. Hence the result is that two acting and chartered local leagues will operate in the city of Nashville. One will be known as the Negro Business League of Nashville, which is about eight or nine years old; the other will possibly be known as the Business and Professional League of Nashville. At any rate, indications are that they will work in unison, and that at the next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which is to meet in the State of Kentucky, Nashville will vie with Louisville or any other city in number of representatives. Thus, Mr. Moore's visit as national organizer has had a tendency to awaken from their lethargy these two organizations, which the Globe has from time to time attempted to awaken. Mr. Moore left the city Monday evening for Pulaski. His itinerary will include other cities in the state. An effort will be put forth to have Mr. Moore visit Nashville CHICAGO (ILL.) NOTES. Mr. William Williams, formerly of Nashville, entertained on last Tuesday evening at a reception in honor of Mr. Albert Parker, at his residence Thirty-seventh street and Ellis avenue. The home was a picture of beauty. The entire house was decorated in Jackson vines and spring flowers. The color scheme in the dining-room was white and green. Mr. Cecil Waller and Howard rendered an excellent musical program. Mrs. Rebecca Carruthers, of 485 Clark street, entertained on last Monday evening in honor of Mrs. Callie Brown, of Nashville. The entire house was thrown open for the occasion. This being the hostess' birthday, a number of her friends were present. The table decoration was a large cut glass bowl filled with America beauties. Those to enjoy the occasion were Misses Alice Stevenson Clater. Messrs. John Coleman, of Virginia Mr. and Mrs. John Mosiey, F.C. Sisney. FORAKER PRESENTED WITH LOVING CUP. The Negroes of the United States Honor America's Greatest Champion of Fair Play. Washington, D. C., March 6.—As a fitting climax to a most brilliant career as senior senator from the State of Ohio, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker was honored by the Negroes of the United States in general, and of Washington in particular, tonight, his career having closed in the upper house of Congress for the present at noon on March 4th. Mr. Foraker was presented with a loving cup. The presentation was planned months ago and the effort showed the zeal and depth of admiration with which 10,000,000 Negroes look upon this retired lawmaker. The presentation took place at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. No effort was made to take an account of those present as it was plainly the largest and enthusiastic audience that ever attempted to get within the walls of a sacred edifice in this city. Men from all over the United States and from every walk of life were present and when Mr. John W. Cromwell, the presiding officer, called the meeting to order the inside and outside of the church was crowded almost to suffocation. Hon. Archibald H. Grimpke, of Boston, Mass., was introduced by Mr. Cromwell, and the audience listened to a masterly address. Attorney Armond W. Scott presented in a telling speech, characteristic for its simplicity and truthfulness, the loving cup to Mr. Foraker. Then this idol of American Negroes responded and the very words of his speech showed that he was touched beyond description. He said he did not consider that he had done any more than was the duty of any American citizen in the house of Congress or in any position of influence, should have done in the protection of the rights of an American citizen and in the maintenance of the jurisprudence. During the evening the most choice music was dispensed by visiting talent and select choruses. After the exercises the representative men had an opportunity to meet Senator Foraker. NINTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF PASTORATE OF REV. W. S. ELLINGTON. Nine years of active service as pastor of one of the leading churches in the city of Nashville came to a beautiful close last Sunday, when by special arrangement the ninth anniversary exercises and sermon for Rev. W. S. Ellington, D.D., who has labored so ardently as the pastor of the First Baptist Church were held. The preparations for this anniversary were not as elaborate as heretofore, and vet, as much interest was manifested by the church people, as Dr. Ellington by his demeanor as a pastor and Christian gentleman has attracted a large number of visitors well as increased the membership of the church. The program as arranged provided for one speaker from the membership of the church and a sermon with special music for the occasion. The anniversary sermon was preached by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Dr. Clark took his text from Acts 5:20: "Go, stand and speak in the temple of the people all the words of this life." His subject was the "Position of the pastor to the church." He subdivided his subject and delivered what was considered one of the most forceful, logical and far-reaching sermons that has been heard for many days. His delivery and the pictures which he drew from time to time during his discourse captured the audience of the First Baptist Church. It was a sermon fit for such an occasion. A large audience testified to this fact by the manner in which it was received. It would not have been possible for the speaker to have made a better impression and delivered a better sermon had he been six months making preparation. The part of the program giving the history of the church since its organization was interestingly delivered by Deacon Hightower. Before the close of the services Dr. Ellington made some announcements and a little speech in which he thanked the ladies for presenting him a beautiful Stetson hat which had been purchased and presented on this occasion. The presentation speech was made by Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, superintendent of the Sunday-school. The offering on this occasion was liberal and while not as large as had been expected, was said to have been out of the ordinary. Rev. A. Parr, of Brownsville, Tenn., will assist in the revival at the First Baptist Church, which begins Sunday, March 21. No.11. NEW BANK MAKING HEADWAY PEOPLES' SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY A CERTAINTY. Stockholders Much Encouraged Over Success. FULL ATTENDANCE AT MEETING WEDNESDAY NIGHT — ADOPTION OF CONSTITUTION AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS DEFERRED—A THOROUGH CAMPAIGN OF THE CITY BEING PLANNED—WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE APPOINTED — SCOPE OF DUTY UNLIMITED—MANY OF NASHVILLE'S LEADING CITIZENS CONNECTED. At the meeting of the stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company on Wednesday night the largest crowd that has attended any of the meetings was present. The gathering was composed of some of the leading men of the city, many of them successful business men, are stockholders in this new concern, and were at the meeting discussing plans and suggesting the best methods to adopt to attain the success hoped for. Every man present seemed to have only one aim in view, and that was to increase the paid up capital stock. The stockholders would not consent to an adoption of the constitution, but agreed unanimously to defer such action until a later day to give new members a chance to participate in the permanent organization. A committee was appointed with instructions to at once set about to plan a campaign of the city to acquaint the people and especially the business men, with the natureo f the new enterprise. The organization of this bank shows conclusively that the Negroes of this city are awake to the demands of the times. They realize that Nashville is growing rapidly, and that the Negroes are progressing with the city. Every day brings to light some new business concern. And with all these impressions comes the demand for more banking and trust companies. The new enterprise has already been chartered under the laws of the State of Tennessee as the People's Saving Bank and Trust Company, a financial concern, organized and chartered by a number of men of this city. The bank and trust company is supposed to swing wide its doors in the near future. Some very able business and professional men are behind the movement. The capital stock is $50,000. In a conversation with one of the promoters a Globe representative learned that the movement is purely to advance the business interests and bring out the financial rating of the Negroes of this city, as well as to encourage real estate investments by the same people SILVER STATE CLUB. The Silver State Club met at the residence of Mrs. Jas. Lipscomb, 1004 Tenth avenue, South, Wednesday evening. Each member answered to roll call by a Bible quotation. A ten-minute intermission was allowed, after which a three-course menu was served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Hollins, Mrs. Rosin McClain, Mrs. Maria Peck, Mrs. Sallie White, Sue Ella Hill, Mrs. E. Climmons, Mr. J. H. Drew, Mr. Andrew Williams, Mr. J. H. Lockridge, Mr. Percy Bandy. GLOBE ADVERTISEMENTS BRING GOOD RESULTS A week or more ago a lady lost a Sunday-school pin that was valued very highly on account of associations connected with it. So anxious was she to recover it that an advertisement was sent to the Globe office for insertion. The first of this week the following note was received: Nashville, March 16, 1909. To the Globe Publishing Co.: Gentlemen-I take this method to express my thanks for the return of the Sunday-school pin I lost two or three weeks ago.

When ever it is announced that a certain man or woman will lecture at any given place there is always much speculation as to how it will be and what kind of an audience will be there. This was not the case when it was made known that Chas. Stewart would be here for a special lecture as his ability to entertain as well as give wholesome advice was well, known. His first lecture for the year in this city was delivered to men only. At 3:30 p. m. last Sunday a large audience of men filled the auditorium on this occasion. His second appearance was at St. Paul A. M. E. Church at 3 p. m. Monday to women only and they, like the men, came out in force to get the benefits of the entertainment in store for them. The climax was reached when, before an audience which literally packed Meharry Auditorium Monday night, the noted speaker and newspaper correspondent, delivered a practical and helpful lecture on "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked." The audience was composed of some of the leading men and women of Nashville, together with the teachers and students of Walden University and Meharry Medical College. This was Stewart's first time to deliver a popular lecture in Nashville and the people, despite the rain, turned out to hear the foremost Negro newspaper correspondent in America. His lecture was humorous and freighted with good advice to the members of the race, which, if followed, will result in much good. The theme was a parody on the famous "Jeshurem Waxed Fat and Kicked;" after God had prospered him he forsook God and worshiped idols. The speaker declared that God had gone over home and brought the Negro to this country, and after getting fat, after getting homes and money in the bank, many of them had waxed fat and attempted to kick away from the race. "We have Negroes going over this country offering excuses for being Negroes. Some white man has said to them 'you are really too smart to be a Negro,' and they have tried to get away from their race, ashamed of their physical construction, ashamed of their color, their hair. The sooner Gabriel sounds his trumpet calling that class of Negroes to heaven or somewhere else the more love the self-respecting Negro will have for the noted trumpeter. "The color of the skin or the texture of the hair never yet made a man and never will. The Negro, like other men in this country, needs brains, brains, my friends, and character will do the work, and Sambo can afford to kick away from anything which tends to tear down and seek the things which will elevate him. "False conception of manhood is another thing which we must wax fat and kick away from. It seems that many of our young men to-day think that manhood should consist of a bag of tobacco, a book of cigarette paper, a bottle of whisky and a cheap revolver. He carries the revolver to shoot some poor woman or some Negro, and permits his wife, mother, daughter and sister to be insulted, and all you can hear 'he better not do it 'gin.' I saw a white man in Ocala, Fla., last February take a revolver and beat a Negro over the head and then kicked and kicked him until I believe he finds comfort standing up eating his meals now. When he turned him loose I walked over and asked 'What was the matter with you and the white man?' "I don't know what in the h—ll was the matter with him, but if he just had kicked me one more time I would have shot h—ll out of him. "I plead with you young men to let revolvers alone. I have traveled this country over, been out all hours of the night and I have the first time to have a revolver. I am not looking for trouble, hence never have it. I do not mind a white man, black man or any other kind of man pushing me off of the street. I am willing for him to have all the street and I will raise no protest, but no man, white or black must insult my wife. I am like the Southern white man, I believe in protecting my wife, mother, daughter and sister with my own life if need be. Every white man in this country respects the Negro who is manly enough to respect and protect his women. "Every Negro has it in his power to be something in life. I have no respect for one who sits around and complains about the treatment of white folks. Do not sit down and wait on anyone to do for you. Get up and do for yourself. The white man has troubles of his own and has no time to listen to yours. Industry, honesty and thrift will win for you. Do your work and do it well, become indispensable and you will find opening everywhere. Ira T. Bryant, of the A. M. E. Sunday-school Union told me to-day of a young girl he employed in a rush for a week or two, and she was so attentive to business that she made a place for herself, and I am willing to keep her now as long as she wants to work. "Young women, do away with face bleach and hair straightening. It is not the kinks on the outside, but the kinks on the inside which make the trouble. Use your time and energy in striving to bleach your character, have it pure and spotless, and get down to hard study and the use of the comb and brush and the application of soap and water—the outside will look after itself." The speaker spoke in terms of praise of the Southern white men, many of whom were slaveholders, but prepared the Negro for his manhood future. "There are white men to-day in the South who want to see the Negro prosper and will do all in their power to aid the race. I do not blame the Southern white man for his opinion of my people, but it is now up to Sambo to wax fat and kick away from his present environments. He can change his condition and make people think well of him." He spoke in terms of praise of the President of Walden University, Dean Hubbard, Dr. Braden, Dr. Cravath, Miss Joanna P. Moore and other white men and women who had given their lives in helping to prepare the Negro. Dr. E. W. S. Hammond presided during the evening and introduced the speaker. The audience at the opening sang "America." Evans Tyree, Jr., recited "When Malinda Sings," by Paul Laurence Dunbar. He was given an ovation. AZALIA ART CLUB. The Azalia Art Club was entertained Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Miss Susie Bender. at the home of her sister, Mrs. Walter Bender, 722 Sevier street. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. H. Ransom. Song and prayer by the chaplain, Mrs. Crockett. The routine of business was taken up. Miss Mollie Snowden was elected recording secretary; Miss Spicy Wilson, assistant, Mrs. Irvin Boyd' having gone to St. Louis to five caused a vacancy. The roll was called and each member answered with a quotation. A most excellent program was rendered by Miss Wilson and Miss Bender. The query box was in charge of Mrs. W. Boyd, and sometime was given to answer the many important questions. Miss Minnie Polk, of Third avenue, North was the only visitor in attendance. The ladies presented some beautiful designs in needle work. An ice course with cake was served to the guests. Those present were: Mrs. Ransom, Mrs. Ridley, Mrs. Holm, Mrs. Crockett, Mrs. Upperson, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Bender, Miss Spicy Wilson, Susie Bender, Donnie Smith, Molloe E. Snowden, Miss Polk. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Crocket, of Sylvan street, March 15th.

It has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst our beloved daughter, Minnie Viola, 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, or her 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 Heaven of rest where there is no more slickness, sorrow nor death. Her little body rested in the vault at Greenwood Cemetery for nine weeks. She was quietly laid to rest Sunday, February 14, 1909, where she will be disturbed no more.

She gave us a better idea of what it requires to live and labor for Christ, and of the progress of the work on the field throughout the State. Mrs. Goins and Mrs. Goodman were present and gave very impressive talks. After the meeting the committee on entertaining Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky. made plans to that effect.

The meeting called for the purpose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00. The Board of Directors reported to the stockholders that a settlement had been made with them before the New Stock was to be sold. This setlement consisted of a $12,500.00 distribution, accruing from Real Estate and a Surplus Fund, to be given in the shape of New Stock to the Old Stockholders, leaving $3,000.00 as a Guarantee Fund. This is in addition to the 6 per cent Dividend declared at the regular annual meeting on January 22nd, 1909. We want to place in the hands of the masses our New Stock. Dividends and distributions have been made to the old Stockholders, since the organization of the bank to an amount of over twice the original value of the Old Stock. This fact in itself is sufficient to recommend our New Stock, for with increased Capital we will be able to realize greater profits. 9 W. D. RUCKER, STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED.

WAIT AND SEE. The Federal Government is often personified as the "Old Ship of State" by American writers, orators and statesmen in their efforts of patriotic eulogy and sentimental description of the grandeur and glory of their country. Let us carry the simile further by saying that there are eighty million passengers on board the old vessel, ten million of whom are Negroes who are as deeply interested in her safety, welfare and destiny as any of the other seventy million. Are their rights to be fairly considered and protected by those in command? Let us be optimistic. Let us hope so. Although the information gleaned from the press of the country intimates that President Taft, pilot of the old ship, has decreed in his Southern policy program that the Negro in that section must "walk the plank," criticism should be held in abeyance until such a policy with respect to the Negro has been put in motion. In his inaugural address, Mr. Taft had the following to say of the Southern problem: "I look forward with hope to increasing the already good feeling between the South and the other sections of the country. My chief purpose is not to effect a change in the electoral vote of the Southern States. That is a secondary consideration. What I look forward to is an increase in the tolerance of political views of all kinds and their advocacy throughout the South, and the existence of a respectable political opposition in every State; even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the South that this Government is their Government, and that its officers in their States are their officers. "The consideration of this question can not, however, be complete and full without reference to the Negro race, its progress and its present condition. The Thirteenth Amendment secured them freedom; the Fourteenth Amendment due process of law, protection of property, and the pursuit of happiness, and the Fifteenth Amendment attempted to secure the Negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote because he was a Negro. While the Fifteenth Amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of Southern legislation today is toward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amendment. Of course, the mere adoption of a constitutional law It must be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. Hence it is clear to all that the domination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from voting both Negroes and whites not having education or other qualification thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has there fore passed." While this is pregnant, yet it is expedient to wait and see if it will be THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1909. only the ignorant Negro electorate who will have to "walk the plank." HOBSON TO BE SACRIFICED. Brave men always give credit to a brave man who acts in obedience to a conscientious performance of his duty. But many a manly man has been sacrificed because he had the courage to stand up for what he believed to be a principle of right. More is the pity that such is ever true with regard to a man who unselfishly tries to follow the principle of justice in dealing with his fellowman. Representative Richmond P. Hobson, of Alabama, is to be politically guillotined because he had the courage to make a speech, short though it was, in defense of the Aldrich bill, which provides for the re-enlistment of the soldiers who were the victims of Roosevelt's ill-advised order. This young Southerner has done some service to his country, and far more, we venture to say, than any of those who are conspiring his political death. Mr. Hobson signally defeated one of Alabama's representatives in the upper branch of Congress some years ago for the seat which he (Hobson) now holds, and that man, it is said, is now leading the fight against him. Revenge with some natures is sweet. When the chance comes they invariably accept and wreak it. We are not, in any sense, laboring under any deception that Mr. Hobson made that three or five minutes' speech out of any particular regard for the soldiers as Negroes, but out of a sense of the eminent fitness of things and the justice due them. He made the speech with the prescience of what might happen, but with the same dauntless courage that characterized his daring and heroic attempt to bottle up Cervera in Santiago harbor. The Negro people thank him for that effort in behalf of tardy justice. VICTIM OF MAFIA. Petrosino, a New York detective, who was a terror to Sicilian bandits, thieves and murderers in that city, was assassinated, it is supposed, by their compatriots or sympathizers in Palermo, Sicily, who had been apprised of his presence there. This class of the scum of the Old World has poured into America for years, and from such will arise the haters of organized government who will in the years to come overturn the free institutions of this country. It will be then that on the few true Americans, comparatively speaking, and the Negro, always a loyal American, will fall the brunt of preserving a semblance of liberty. The Negroes would not desert nor betray their confidence in the ultimate justice of Americans even in Revolutionary time when Great Britian offered them their freedom if they would espouse its cause. The Negro has remained so ever since. He will ever be a bulwark of defense when storms arise that threaten the best interest of this country. STRONG EDITORIAL. The Palestine Plaindealer (Palestine, Texas) had in its March the 13th issue a strong and sensible editorial on the incineration at the stake of a Negro for alleged, not proved, commission of the "nameless crime." We take off our hat to this docthy East Texas paper for its outspoken condemnation of mob violence, as we do to every paper whose advocacy is the all-sufficiency of the supremacy of the law. Time and again it has been proved, but too late, that innocent persons have suffered violent death at the hands of an infuriated and brainless mob doing its hell-cursed deviltry or supposition and in the absence of law established proof or testimony. The following news item appeared recently in one of the daily papers of this city: Montgomery, Ala., March 17.—(Special.)—W. R. Vanable, a well known merchant, was shot to death late tonight by an unknown Negro, who escaped. The two men were in a room, and the cause of the tragedy is not known. It is significant that in such cases almost invariably the "cause" is not known. We leave the reader to draw his own conclusion. Dr. R. F. Boyd and Hon. J. C. Napier, our fellow townsmen, were, according to press reports, among the first to congratulate President Taft after his inauguration. Nashvillians can always be counted upon to get in on the "ground floor" The President's message on the tariff measure is a reversal of the old order of things. Members of Congress were elated over its brevity. One of the greatest criminal trials in the history of the state is ended. It was of national as well as of state interest, owing to the prominence of the parties involved. That infallible and mythical oracle, the groundhog! Up to date he has misrepresented the facts. STEWARDESS BOARD. The weekly meetings of the senior stewardess board of Capers chapel C. M. E. Church are being held each Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A great interest is being manifested in these meetings by the members of the Board. Rev. R. C. McClendon, of Pulaski, Tenn., visited the board at their last meeting and gave an encouraging and interesting talk in behalf of the woman's work in the church and highly commended the president and members of the board for their noble efforts and heroic struggles in assisting the pastor and stewards in the general church work.

OBITUARY Lenora Hickman Keeble was born May 6, 1878, passed away Saturday morning at ten minutes past 2 o'clock. She professed hope in Christ when but a child only ten years, and was a member of the Baptist church until her death. She was always religiously inclined. When she was first taken sick she said she she would rest in the arms of Jesus. "Don't you all worry, it will soon be all right." She repeated the 23rd Psalm and was constantly singing "In the sweet bye and bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore." She did not speak of dying in a sorrowful way, but always with a bright smile --- THE FLEUR DE-LIS. The Fleur De-Lis Art Club met with Mrs. L. H. Lewis, March 4, 1909, at 3 p. m. The meeting was presided over by the Vice-president, Mrs. C. O. Hadley. At roll call the members present responded with quotations. After the business of the club, Mrs. Ross Moore sang a beautiful solo and Mrs. Kealing had a paper on The Negro in Literature. This was thoroughly enjoyed and occasioned much discussion. "Forgotten" was beautifully sung by Mrs. C. O. Hadley. The news of the journalist was very interesting. The visitors were Mrs. Rohelia, Mrs. Durant Houston and Mrs. Jennie Childress. The hostess served a two-course menu; the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Ross Moore March 18, 1909.

Anita Patti Brown, the prima donna, is hailed by the critics as the greatest exponent of her art the race has yet produced. With a fresh and vivid personality dominant with the exuberance of youth she displays that rare ability to shape and color the significant and haunting phrase. In all parts her singing abounds in subtle and shaded felicities.—Editor National Advocate, Ottumwa, Ia., 3-10-08. Drake Conservatory of Music. Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 18, 1908. Mme. Patti Brown sang a beautiful recital for us. She is worthy most serious consideration as a singer. Her success with our audience (which is most critical) was instantaneous and if she returns again she would find a hearty welcome awaits her FREDERICK HOWARD, Dean. * * * Best Known Singer of Her Race. Mrs. Patti Brown, one of the best known singers of the colored race, gave a concert before the faculty and students of the Highland Park College of Music. Mrs Brown was in Des Moines for several days and gave this concert as a compliment to the Des Moines musicians. Her voice is of lyric soprano, but with wide compass and mellowness peculiar to the Negro voice. She was especially effective in her rendition of "O, Divine Redeemer" and E. Dell' Acqua's "Villanelle."—The Register and Leader, Des Moines, Ia., 2-19-08. Unusual Talent Mrs. Brown's voice is of excellent quality, clear and pure. She sang a high C with ease and obtained a good musical tone. In her solos she gave evidence of unusual talent.—Chicago Journal, 3-6-07. *** Mrs. Brown will appear in Nashville soon. Watch for dates. * NOTICE The Phyllis Wheatley Club will meet at the residence of Mrs. Andrew Cheatham, 641 Bass street. Thursday afternoon, March 25, at 3 o'clock.

The dope handed out by by Manager Jas. Woods is that the best team in years will represent old Bradley. The work so far has been of a preliminary nature. Captain Lytle last year little quarter of the 'varsity team, dopes out the real thing for short. Among those trying for infield positions are Captain Lytle, who will look after short, James Miller, last year sub-quarter will do the receiving and if the little fellow fills this position as game as he looked after quarter it will be filled in first-class order. Chas. Alexander, William L. Alexander, Jas. Woods, W. R. Ransom, Chas. Howse, Matthews Thompson, W. Showers. All these lads are working hard for positions on Bradley V. baseball team of 1909. Weens and Simmons, two of the second team stars of last year, are showing up in fine style and look sure to fill one of the positions on this year's 'varsity team. So far, no real games have been played. Some time during this week Manager Woods and Captain Lytle will get their ax to work 1930 The majority of the leading schools of the world have found that a systematic apartment for physical training is a value to any school and have therefore established such courses in their schools. It is with great pleasure that we learn that Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn., has taken up such a course and that under Prof. W. Arthur Giles they are making rapid progress in the work. Fisk is the only Negro school in the and the weeding out will begin. Bradley would like very much to meet any Prep. team in the South. Bradley is expecting to meet during the 1909 season Fisk, Walden, Roger Williams, Pearl High School and Turner College, and is expecting to have a look at the State Prep. Championship of 1909. Any team wishing to meet Bradley baseball team, write Jas, Woods, Manager, 534 North Academy street, Murfreesboro, Tenn.

For the past week or more a rascal whose identity has not yet been established, has been acting in a disgust- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1909. ing manner in the immediate neighborhood of the buildings of Fisk University. The attention of the police department is called to the matter, and it is hoped that the perpetrator will be apprehended and severely punished for his disgraceful conduct. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE A. M. E. REVIEW. The A. M. E. Review is preparing to celebrate its 25th year of continuous existence for a week, beginning April 25, 1909. The African Methodist Church throughout the world will participate in this anniversary by special exercises and by raising 2,000 new cash subscribers to enable the Review to become a bi-monthly instead of a quarterly, as it is now. The A. M. E. Review was established in 1884, at Philadelphia and has been published there ever since till last October, when Editor H. T. Kealing removed it to Nashville, Tenn. There have been only three editors during its whole history—Drs. B. T. Tanner, L. J. Coppin, and H. T. Kealing, the last having been elected four successive times and, all but the first, unanimously. YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Young Men's Literary Club met and was royally entertained by 10 South giving attention to such development in conference with Prof. Giles. It was learned that such a course has already proven to be a great help to the mental development of the student and that in future it will be given a great deal of attention. The picture here shows the interior of the gymnasium at Fisk with one of Prof. Giles' physical culture classes in action. Mr. Mansfield Douglass, of State street, on last Tuesday night, March 16. The meeting was well attended and all took part in the program. The last meeting wound up the second quarter and all are looking forward to a prosperous close of the year. Several of the members have given very helpful suggestions for the success of the club, and should these be carried out the year's work will be a crowned success. The next meeting will be a Shakespeare meeting and Mr. E. P. Bond, who is chairman of the Shakespeare Committee, has prepared a very elaborate program and one which promises to be very entertaining. The next meeting will be with Mr. Andrew J. Allison, 1116 Jackson street, on Monday night, March 22. A perfect attendance is urged. Visitors welcome. ENTERTAINED. Mrs. Page, of 1506 Grant street, was entertained by the Pink Star Club last Friday night. The house was beautifully decorated. Dancing and games were the main features of the evening. Many delicious courses were served. Those to enjoy the occasion were Misses Mannie and Cora Joyner. Cecil Key, Eddie and Della Ray, Nonua Dickerson, Shellie Ross, Sadie Stratton, Ernestine Crosswise, Mamie Whalton, Bennetta Folston, Jennie Love and Rodwell King, Messrs. George Maberry, Douglass Harding, Donelson Merrill, Walter Morris, Floyd Wade, James Frye. MARCHAL NEIL CLUB The Marechal Neil Club met Friday evening, March 5th, at the residence of Mrs. Henry Ransom, on William street. An unusually pleasant afternoon was spent with this charming hostess. The program included a paper by Mrs. A. M. Irving on "A woman's love." Mrs. William Wilson recited "filted," from Dunbar. Mrs. Steve Turner recited also. After one hour of work the ladies were invited into the dining-room where an elegant menu was served. The only decoration of the table was a beautiful center-piece of battenburg. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Steve Turner, Friday evening. April 9, 1909. Mrs. Vera L. Crittendon, president. Mrs. A. M. Irving, Secretary. --- SENATOR FORAKER, THE NEGRO AND HARMONY. Harmony has always been the slogan of the Republican party. That is one of the reasons it is in power today in both National and State politics. While the Democrats are holding turbulent State conventions and forming bolting parties, the Republicans are figuring on a harmony program at the Chicago convention in June. The most significant indication that there will be harmohy at Chicago was the recent motion made in the Senate by Senator Foraker to defer voting on the Foraker bill for reinstatement of the Negro soldiers uncharged on account of the Brownsville affair until December 16. Senator Foraker introduced the motion himself—he did not delegate another Senator to do it for him. He wanted to show the Republican party that he was a Republican and was for party success first, last and all the time. Of course the Democrats saw what was coming, and Senator Culberson moved that a vote be taken on the Foraker bill within a few days. He and the other Democrats were looking for campaign materials; they wanted to raise another issue among the Negro voters and put the Republican party on record. But harmony and party discipline are two valuable assets of the G. O. P. Before Senator Foraker had introduced the motion there had been a a ctoak room conference of the Republicans; so the suggestion of the Democrats that a vote be taken at a near date on the bill was of no avail, and the motion to defer action on it until December was passed. Within a short time. The Age predicts many other indications that there will be harmony at the Chicago convention. It would not be surprising to hear withdrawals of Presidential candidates any day. Rumor already has it that an agreement has been reached in Ohio where *y* Senator Foraker is to join the Taft forces and be returned to the Senate. The factions in Ohio are beginning to get together and the fiery Senator from that State, who has been such a strong champion in behalf of the Negro soldiers, will regard the reinstatement of the soldiers as secondary consideration until after election. He is now out for Republican success. So much for Senator Foraker. But what about the Negroes who have been sounding the Senator's praises near and far? Who have been urging that he be nominated for the Presidency? Who have been proclaiming him a champion of the race? Will they continue to follow him, or will they become angered because of his exhibition of loyalty to his party and now call him an enemy and turn-coat? It must be remembered that four years ago these same Negroes were equally, if not more so, enthusiastic over Theodore Roosevelt, who did more in the interest of the Negro than the Senator. They have seen fit to forget all he did for them. Such might be the case with Senator Foraker. For many o, these men have either fallen out for good with "Gratitude," or else the two have been strangers all along. As to what nine-tenths of the Negro voters will do, we have no doubts. They will do just as Senator Foraker has done, get together and work for party harmony. In the first place, they know that Secretary Taft will be nominated at Chicago. In the second place, they know that by showing hostility to the Republican party they would not be benefiting themselves nor promoting the cause of the discharged soldiers. We believe that Senator Foraker has been sincere in his fight for the reinstatement of the Negro soldiers; we further believe that after election he will fight as hard for their reinflishment as he has been doing. But with election day in sight he deems it opportune to let Brownsville slumber until after November. Again will the Negro voters coincide in their views with the Senator? They will not forget the soldiers, but they will not be unusually active on the subject until after election, when they will join hands with Senator Foraker's and others and try to have the Senator's bill asking for the reinstatement of the soldiers passed. What will be the attitude of the few who have been urging the Negro to vote for Bryan if Taft is nominated is difficult even to contemplate. As a matter of fact, it will not matter much what they think, for only a few of them have been residents long enough in their respective States to do any voting by November. Yet we know they have learned quite a lesson in the past and it is to be hoped that in the future, when they seek to bring about a desired result, they will conduct a clean campaign and resort to the same methods as used by Senator Foraker, who did no "mud-slinging." For at all times he has had party harmony in view.—The New York Age, May 28, 1908, New York. The Brownsville Ghouls. When Galveston had been swept by flood, human ghouls, the lowest beings in the scale of humanity, preyed upon the dead and dying. When the earth convulsed, toppling San Francisco's temples, and the demon fire added to the horrors of death and devastation, that worst of all parasites, the human ghoul, came forth and fattened on death and suffering. In every similar great disaster time has chronicled there have been such fiends as only a Dante could describe, and only a Dore paint. When the natural volubility of our race was fanned into a flame by the discharge of the soldiers of the 25th regiment, there were those who, crouching behind inhuman avarice and selfishness, were ready to swoop down, buzzard-like, upon the prev. When Senator Foraker moved down to the front of the stage, as the champion of the discharged soldiers, the buzzards flapped their wings. Although he plainly and specifically stated in the onset that "it is not a question of color or race, but a question as to the right of the President to discharge troops in time of peace," these human ghouls raised the black flag of Race Discrimination and moved out in search not of justice, but of the thirty pieces of silver coined for Judases. Although no one before, or since, had raised the question of color, or had charged directly or indirectly that the President's order was prompted by the color of these soldiers (no sane and honest man could), this vagabond army of parasites marched up and down faunting the color question that they might receive the thirty pieces. They lived on our troubles. They fattened on our misery. They fanned into a blaze—all for unholy cash—the smouldering goals of reasonable dissent. Their appetite is voracious. The appetite of a buzzard is always voracious. In anticipation of a national political campaign they are striving to keep open the healing wound that it may fester so that they may have a festering sore to display as a political asset on which to raise money. The raising of this color question in the Brownsville affair has proved a stone about our necks. Who raised it? Not the President, whose many brave and helpful acts have proved him to be a real friend, tried and true. Not Secretary Taft, than whom there is no more honest friend. Not the dashing brilliant Senator Foraker, who simply raised a legal question, without reference to color. Not one of the tens of thousands of sturdy law-abiding grateful men of our race who have the best interest of the race unselfishly at heart. Not the white friends of the race in or out of Congress. Who then? Why, human ghouls, worthless parasites who represent nothing save a selfish avarice, the same avariciousness that possessed the ghouls at Galveston and San Francisco. And these black ghouls have led the race into an ambush. They are as much the enemy of Senator Foraker as the enemy of the President. As much the enemy of the whites as the enemy of their own 'esh and blood. Like Macbeth's damned spot, they will not out. Until the satanic regions open wide to swallow, sad to admit, we will always have our human gnouls—black and white.—New York Age, Oct. 17, 1907, New York. TOO MUCH BROWNSVILLE. If there is any one thing current that the American people are threadbare with, it is the much noted Brownsville affair. It seems that the more we investigate the mystery the further we find ourselves from the truth. If President Roosevelt had not satisfied himself of the guilt of the Negro soldiers before he dismissed them without honor the country had hoped that the congressional investigation and other inquiries instituted by his excellency, had removed every reasonable doubt from his mind, and that he was morally certain of the guilt of the men, that his order had so severely degraded. It was the earnest hope of a patient and long suffering public that it be saved from any more Brownsville affliction. We have had it in the army, the courts, congress and politics, and the people are weary of matter that becomes more of a riddle every time you touch it. The gravest doubt of the truth or justice of the President's finding in the premises, is the doubt cast upon his decision by his continued search for the proof he should have had before he dismissed the soldiers. This last investigation has succeeded in doing at least one thing: it has taken the people back to the point where they were the morning after the "shoot up." Who did it? It is not the genius of American jurisprudence to first determine a case or execute a victim, and then after determination or execution hunt down the proof to establish the guilt or innocence of the accused. The independent has always maintained that the President in dismissing the soldiers, acted clearly within the purview of his constitutional prerogative, and as he had the conscience to see the truth as the evidence before him WANTED.

Nothing can make us now believe that Theodore Roosevelt acted otherwise than he had the light to discover the truth except he, by his own conduct disabuse our mind of its unshaken faith in his honesty and love of fairplay. This he can largely do by his failure to accept the proof he had at hand as conclusive of the Negroes guilt when he issued his order degrading three companies of the power of the American army. COLLEGE GROVE NOTES. Mrs. Nannie Hockett entertained a few friends Sunday at her home. They were Mrs. Sallie Claybrook and Miss L. V.

Elie Baptist Church. Rev. N. C. Crucker preached. Spring is opening and the people are beginning to fish. Mrs. E. Hartwell and Wm. Barlie and D. Lytle caught several cat fish last week. Mrs. Willie Malone, who has been indisposed for several days, is convalescing. The public school under the management of Miss Mary Lizzie Turner closed last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. E.
