THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. APPROPRIATION AN INSULT NEGROES NOT SATISFIED WITH SCHOOL FUND. Only One-Seventh of Total Allotted to Them. LOWER HOUSE OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY BLIND TO FAIRNESS—NOT SOLICITOUS AS TO NEGROES' WELFARE — PEABODY FUND HEADING THIS WAY—ALL TO BE USED FOR BENEFIT OF WHITES—TENNESSEE STILL LAGGING BEHIND OTHER SOUTHERN STATES — STRONG PROTEST COMING TO LEGISLATURE AS TO NORMAL SCHOOL FUND. One of the acts of the present Legislature was the passing by the lower house of an educational bill which provides for many thousands of dollars for educational work. There seems to be much dissatisfaction among the Negroes of the State of Tennessee with respect to the treatment they are receiving at the hands of this great commonwealth by these lawmakers. It is said freely that they are not expressing the best sentiment of the State, neither are they complying with the wishes of many of their constituents which may be construed, a majority of their constituents. In the recent election the Negroes polled quite a vote in this state and they represent, according to the United States Census, about one-fourth of the population of the entire state. A well-informed business man stated a few days ago that they were heavy taxpayers, taking Nashville as a good basis, and yet there seems to be a great injustice or, in other words, travesty upon the rights of decency and fair play, or a closing of the door of hope, such as has been expressed from time to time, when in this bill only one-seventh of the entire appropriation for education, amounting to not more than sixteen thousand and some hundred dollars was allowed. In a recent dispatch from New York it seems that the strings that have tied up the Peabody Fund with that board in New York have been loosed by some one and that the entire million dollars is dropping Tennesseeward with a likelihood of being landed in Nashville for the celebrated Peabody Normal. This augments the educational fund and if added to the other appropriation made by the state, city and county makes an enormous sum for educational purposes for white schools. The nearly $16,000.00 is not even welcomed, as claimed that it is not a just proportion nor worthy of passing either house if it is intended for agricultural, mechanical and industrial training. Enough information has been gained within the past several weeks to lead to the conclusion that some investigation is going to be made if the present legislature adjourns without giving a just proportion of the educational funds to the education of the Negro youth. A prominent attorney stated a few days ago that Tennessee's action was being closely watched and it was only a matter of waiting for the adjournment of the legislature to see what they would do before some surprises would be sprung and possibly sensations created in educational circles. While Kentucky is appropriating $35,000 of $45,000 for a new A. & M. College in addition to the one she al ready has for Negroes and while she is raising $200,000.00 for the new Bea rea, and while every state North and South is doing equally as much for the education of the Negro youth, hardly a decent showing can be said is being made by the Volunteer State in looking after one-fourth of her worthy population and citizenship. UNION EPWORTH LEAGUE. The City Union Epworth League will meet at Seay's Chapel on Sunday afternoon, March 28, at 3 o'clock. "The Object and Aim of the Epworth League" will be the subject for discussion. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1909. BISHOP CAREY IN THE CITY. BISHOP CAREY IN THE CITY. Bishop Jas. H. Carey, President of the National Convention of the Colored Primitive Baptist Denomination of the United States of America, arrived in Nashville Tuesday morning, March 16, at 3:30 o'clock and proceeded to the home of Mrs. A. L. Caruthers, of 1044 Edgehill avenue. On Tuesday night he witnessed the organization of a Sunday-school, at Bethlehem United Primitive Baptist Church, of which Rev. Samuel Bryant is pastor, and also delivered a wonderful address. In his speech his words were like Christ: "A church is not complete without a Sunday-school." On Saturday evening Bishop Carey, accompanied by Mrs. A. L. Caruthers, was invited out to the home of Mrs. Abe Overton, of 816 North Sixth street, in East Nashville, where they were most royally entertained. A dinner was also given in his honor on Sunday afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. L. Caruthers, where he was also delightfully entertained. A menu of seven courses was served. The dining-room was beautifully decorated with cut flowers Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Overton, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, Misses Fannie Rucker and Mary Williams, Sister Flora Johnson and Sister Ellen McGuire. DAVIDSON COUNTY. INSTITUTE. The monthly institute of Davidson County met last Saturday with an unusual large attendance. The reason being the day set for Prof. R. L. Jones to address that body. Every seat in the house was taken. The house was called to order by Prof. E. B. Buford, acting chairman. Prof. E. W. Benton offered a fervent prayer for the continued success of the institute and its work. The minutes of the last meeting were called for, read and approved. Prof. W. R. Davis read an interesting paper on one of the subjects of the secondary reading course. Prof. J. P. Batte filled his place on the subject of fractions. The regular program was discontinued here as the State Superintendent had arrived. The Walden Glee Club furnished music for the occasion. They were encored at the conclusion of their first selection. Prof. R. L. Jones, was introduced by Prof. W. H. Card. He began his address by highly commending the music. He spoke with delight of this bright age in which we live. He added that all the refinement, development and modern day conveniences have come to us through the channels of education. The seeds of education were planted here, said he, through the works of such men as Geo. Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. These names with others so well known in most homes, continued he, are persons whose labors have given us these many advantages we have to-day. The present legislature, said he, has done a remarkable work to advance the cause of education in giving more ample educational facilities. He emphasized the fact that there is nothing great in the world but man, and there is nothing great in man but his mind. When, through the development of his mind, he is lifted from the channels of ignorance the purpose aimed at is to lessen poverty and to make him better. On motion by Prof. W. P. Rose Superintendent R. L. Jones was tendered a vote of thanks. The Walden Glee Club, whose splendid selections charmed all present, was given a vote of thanks by motion of Prof. H. G. Allen. BIRTHDAY PARTY. A charming event for a happy company of little people was a party given Wednesday afternoon, March 17, to celebrate the tenth birthday of little Claudie H. Tony, at the residence of his aunt, Mrs. Van McEwen, 914 Jackson street, Elaborate decoration of palms and ferns beautified the house, and a green color note prevailed in the table appointments. Jolly games entertained the company. St. Patrick's toys were given as prizes, and tissue paper caps as souvenirs. The little honoree was assisted in receiving his guest by Misses Alberta Watkins and Ruth Upshaw. Many useful presents were received. The guests were: G. W. Gore, Jr., Mary Ewing, C. R. and Elizabeth Fite, Roby Mai Findley, Ollie May and Elisie Dale, Charlie Malone and cousin. Benjamin Lane, Florence Sango, Hugh Robinson, Annie and Alberta Thomas, Clarence Lapsley, George W.

PREPARING FOR THE MULTITUDES Nashville Citizen Getting Ready for Guests. NATIONAL BAPTIST GATHERING ATTRACTING WIDESPREAD ATTENTION — PREDICTED BETWEEN FIVE AND TEN THOUSAND VISITORS WILL BE HERE —EVERY SECTION OF THE COUNTRY TO BE REPRESENTED —NATIONAL CHARACTERS PROMINENT IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK EXPECTED TO DELIVER LECTURES—SEVERAL BOARD MEETINGS CALLED. There seems to be no doubt about the matter of rates for the coming session of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress. The railroads North and South, East and West, are working upon an excursion rate that will enable every Sunday-school representative, missionary or educator, to visit Nashville and take a part in the great Congress Movement that is attracting attention throughout the country. In addition to this the subjects to be discussed at the congress have already been arranged. Almost daily those interested in this meeting are selecting and sending in their subjects to the secretary. Others are sending in their names and addresses stating that they will be present and take a part. Recent information coming directly from Rev. M. W. Gilbert, of New York City, is to the effect that this Congress Movement has broken the solid East. Many leading men in New England have practically agreed to come to Tennessee, take part in and encourage this young people's gathering. The next two months will be devoted to making detail preparations and unless the well-laid plans, formed by the Board under whose management the Congress will be held, fail to carry, Nashville will witness the greatest gathering of religious workers ever assembled. One of the features of the Congress is going to be the launching of an educational campaign by Rev. T. J. Searcy, of Memphis, Tenn., Chairman of the Educational Board. An effort is going to be put forth and plans laid by which the National Theological Seminary will be established. This, of itself, it it were the only feature of the Congress, would make Baptist history, but it promises only to be one of the many drawing cards. The Program Committee that will be in session at the Congress will have time to take part in the deliberations each day and then make the best program for the next National Baptist Convention that has been arranged. Missionaries who have not heretofore been able to have daily conferences will find that there is more in the mission work than appears on the surface. Rev. William Beckham, the Field Secretary, who visits all the state conventions, will make this his special department calling all of the missionaries from association to general missionary in these daily conferences. At the same time the Home Mission Board through Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock the chairman, will be meeting and devising plans for a more aggressive campaign. There are other features which will be brought out and anounced by the secretary from time to time. The subjects have already been selected and given out. Both denominational and secular papers have used them for the benefit of their readers. BOYD—BRYANT. On Wednesday evening, March 17, at 9 o'clock, Mr. Edward Boyd and Mrs. Lizze Bryant were united in the happy bonds of matrimony at the home of her sister, Mrs. Samuel Wade, 1742 Patterson street, by Rev. Brooks, of St. John A. M. E. Church. The bride wore a beautiful white mull dress and carried a bunch of lilies of the valley. Mr. Walter Carr entered with the groom and the bride with her son, Wm. C. Bryant. A bridal supper was served in several courses. NONPARIEL CLUB. The Nonpariel Club held its first anniversary at the residence of Mrs. M. E. Bryant, Market street. The home was beautifully decorated and the imitation flowers which showed forth the artistic work of the entertainer could but make one feel the true impulse of spring. The exhibits of the club were placed in the hall and by a careless observer it could be seen that time and energy had been expended in order to have such articles for the occasion. A twocourse menu was served, after which the president, Mrs. Bright, made an excellent address and recited a poem. There was quite a number of visitors many of whom were called upon to speak. Their words of praise were stimulating to the members of the club, and furthered their determination to do better work in the future. Mrs. McMillan read a paper which was enjoyed by all. Among those present were: Mesdames D. Houston, C. E. Randle, H. T. Kealing, R. W. Abernathy, S. V. Lofton, A. W. Brown, W. D. Hawkins, G. B. Fossie, E. H. Phillips, J. Sharp, Henry Smith E. Bonner, G. White, J. A. McMillan A. M. Waters, I. B. Scott, E. Coffee, M. S. Payton, M. N. Cheatham J. H. Adams, J. B. Smith, A. G. Ham mond, M. E. Davis, H. Hightower A. H. Davis, J. C. Thompson, M. E Bryant. REVIVAL SEASON SUCCESSFUL. Every year immediately after the holiday season, the church people of Nashville begin their revivals. They have invited, from time to time, able evangelists and pulpit orators to conduct these meetings. These men have worked faithfully and, as a rule have been rewarded with much success. Nearly every church in the city is either carrying on a revival or planning to open one. To date the most successful meeting in point of numbers has ben the revival at the Spruce Street Baptist Church, of which Rev. T. J. Townsend is pastor. Spruce Street, or the, mother-church, has broken her record for the past few years in these meetings, and the additions from all sources according to reports have been 75, and about 35 of this number were baptized last Sunday evening. Rev. Mr. Holloway, of Covington, Tenn., conducted this meeting. Mt. Olive's revival is still in progress. Rev. Dr. Clark has been assisted by Rev. J. F. Thomas, of Chicago, Ill, and Rev. C. P. M. Bigbee, of Elkton, Ky. The latter is still in the city conducting the meetings. They are having quite a success this week, more than 25 additions having been made to the church and the meeting still goes on indefinitely with its soulsaving purpose. The First Baptist Church, Spruce street, under the pastorate of Dr. Ellington, opened its meeting Sunday. They will be assisted by Rev. A. Parr, of Brownsville, Tenn. St. Paul Church, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor, recently closed a most successful revival, from which more than one hundred conversions were made. Rev. Mr. Howard assisted in this meeting. St. John A. M. E. Church is scheduled to open its meeting at an early date if a speaker can be secured. The North Nashville churches of all denominations are making preparations. Pleasant Green has already opened a revival, while Mt. Nebo will begin later. South Nashville will share in this general religious movement while the Eastside will be equally as aggressive in fighting Satan from every quarter. LADIES AID CLUB Rev. W. S. Ellington preached the first annual sermon of the Ladies Aid Club of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Sunday, March 14th. Rev. Mr. Ellington was at his best, and his words were full of inspiration and encouragement, especially to the ladies of the club, who have just completed their first year's work for the church. The amount presented to the church during this time was $151.40 with a balance in the treasury. The Ladies Aid Club of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville held a very pleasant meeting at the residence of Mrs. L. B. Baker, Monday, March 22. Much business was transacted. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. S. E. Griggs, president, Mrs. Rufus Cage, vice president; Mrs. M. A. Bennett, secretary; Mrs. Malinda, treasurer. After the transaction of business the hostess invited the ladies to the dining-room where a tempting two-course menu was served. No.12. COMMISSION CONVENES CONDITIONS IN CONGO FREE STATE FULLY DISCUSSED. Meeting Held in Washington March Third. BODY WAS APPOINTED BY THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION AT LEXINGTON, KY., IN 1908—WILL TAKE UP MATTER WITH KING OF BELGIUM AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT—STATE OF AFFAIRS TO RECEIVE CAREFUL INVESTIGATION — TREATMENT OF NATIVES ALLEGED TO BE EXTREMELY INHUMAN — COMMISSION TO MEET HERE IN JUNE. Washington, D. C.—The first meeting of the Commission appointed by the recent session of the National Baptist Convention to look into the treatment of the natives in the Congo Free State by King Leopold of Belgium, which at one time was thought to be asquiesced in by the English government, was held in the main auditorium of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, of Washington, D. C., on Monday, March 3rd. Your correspondent was present at this session. The meeting as provided for in the resolution when the commission was appointed has a far-reaching and helpful line of work to accomplish in that it purposes to ask the king of Belgium through the kind offices of the British government to be more humane in his treatment of the natives of the Congo Free State. Rev. A. S. Jackson, of Dallas, Tex., is the chairman of this commission. The personnel as given out by Dr. Jackson—men who have been invited to serve—Revs. George Washington Lee, D. D.; I. Tolliver, D. D. S.; S. G. Lampkin, D. D.; A. Wilbank, D.; D. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D.; J. A. Taylor, D. D.; J. Milton Waldron, all of Washington; Revs. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., and A. S. Jackson, D. D., of Dallas, Tex. The meeting, although not fully attended by all members of the commission, proceeded to its delicate task and ere it had been in session 20 minutes they seemed to have had the situation well in hand. Upon the organization of the commission Rev. Geo. W. Lee was made chairman, Rev. A. S. Jackson, secretary. By unanimous vote the commission decided to appoint Dr. Jackson to draft suitable resolutions and form such other correspondence as would be necessary to reach the powers that had to do with these conditions. Dr. Jackson had already called at the Foreign Office, had interviewed the Secretary of State, the Minister from Great Britain and the Belgium Legation, reporting that progress was being made and that he had been assured that every possible step would be taken that would bring the greatest results. The resolutions were drawn and put in typewritten form. On the morning of the 5th they were signed by members of the commission and presented to the British and Belgian Ministers respectively. The communication set forth the fact that as a Negro Baptist Convention working in a religious organization, giving its time and attention to the betterment of mankind throughout the known universe, it feels called upon to ask his majesty, the king of Belgium, to look well into the treatment of his subjects. It proceeds in a diplomatic way, using the choicest language in attempting to reach the king as it was claimed that only the mildest and most straightforward facts would be permitted to pass. The mission extended a vote of thanks to Dr. Jackson for the able manner in which he had prepared these papers and after two days' session adjournment was had and unless the commission meets in Nashville during the coming session of the Sunday-School (Continued on Page 2.)

The most attractive feature being the "Gospel cake" and the recipe for its make was given to each person attending. CHAUFFEURS HAVE BIG SUCCESS. More than 425 paid attendants witnessed the first annual colored chauffeurs' ball which was held in the Odd Fellows Hall, 447 Fourth avenue, North on last Monday night. It was a brilliant affair. The program offered a solid evening of pleasure as the Committee of Arrangement, consisting of Messrs R. M. Johnson, Ullysses Johnson and Joe Cole, had made every possible preparation for a successful entertainment. The Refreshment Committee, consisting of Messrs Ed. Parks and Wm. Burnett, Jr., left nothing undone in the way of preparing eatables, while dancing instructor, Prof. Dock Liner had a program equal to the occasion. The three doorkeepers, Messrs L. A. Lyons, F. C. Johnson and Melvin Hayse, managed the doors in a creditable manner. The music was excellent and no one present could complain of it. The entertainment had been thoroughly advertised in the Globe and thereby attracted visitors from nearby towns, including Tullahoma, Gallatin, Dickson, Columbia and Franklin. Noticeable among the visitors present were Miss Eunice Cartwright and Mr. Will Flemings, of Franklin. Other visitors were present but the crowd was so great their names were not secured. The club members feel that they have now advanced considerably by this entertainment. The proceeds will go toward erecting a gymnasium and club room for the members and friends. The following is a complete list of the club members to date: O. H. White, President; L. A. Lyons, Secretary and Treasurer; F. C. Johnson, Assistant Secretary; Melvin Hayes, R. M. Johnson, Joe Knowles, Joe Drake, Clarence Bright, Dillard McKissack, William M. Burnett, Jr., Joe Cole, Dan Plummer, Henry Paterson, Leroy Burnett, Ulysses Johnson, L. B. Bryant, Ed. Parks, James Washburn, Robert Jetton and Richard Davis. Congress, which will be in session from June 9-14, 1909, it is not likely that they will have another opportunity of getting together before September when they will meet in Columbus, Ohio, during the National Baptist Convention, to which body they must make their report. The majority of the members of the commission reside in the District of Columbia and hence as soon as the communication from the two governments to whom they petitioned is received, the facts will no doubt be communicated to Dr. Morris, Helena, Ark., and Dr. Jackson, Dallas, Tex. A special invitation was extended the commission to hold another session in Nashville in connection with the Sunday-School Congress.—National Baptist Union. Y. M. L. C. On last Monday night, March 22, Mr. Andrew J. Allison threww open welcome doors to the members of the Young Men's Literary Club. The meeting was almost perfectly attended and Mr. E. P. Bond spared no effort that would tend toward a good literary treat to the club, he being chairman of the Shakespeare Committee, which entertained on this occasion. Several articles of Shakespeare were read and commented upon and Mr. H. J. Stockard read in a very pleasing manner Shakespeare's "Life and Life Work." But that which most captivated the emotional power of all was the charming style in which Mr. Bond read Macbeth (extract), from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The musical selections, consisting of Jubilee songs, were well chosen for the occasion and all enjoyed the meeting very highly. The next meeting on the 29th will be with Mr. Overton Carter, 1401 Fourteenth avenue, South. FORMER 'RECORD BROKEN. One would be surprised and possibly would not understand if they should hear that a firm in this city doing business and identified with the race had received one thousand eight hundred and twelve letters in one day. This really was the record made by the National Baptist Publishing Board, at 523 Second avenue, North, this city last Wednesday, March 24. The Letter carrier from the post-office delivered that number of letters not, including the second, third and fourth-class matter received by the institution. At the same time they sent to the post-office four wagons full of mail weighing many thousands of pounds. A Globe reporter learns that this is the high water mark for 1909. Judging from this, it is supposed that the June quarter will reach two thousand letters in one day. The bookkeeping, cashier departments with the mailing department and counting rooms remained working until a late hour Wednesday night opening letters, filling orders and despatching mail, on account of the enormous mail that has been coming in this quarter from all parts of the world. GALLATIN NOTES. Twenty-four souls added and restored crown the revival at Winchester Street Baptist Church where this meeting has been in progress for about twelve days. Pastor Vertrees and Rev. R. D. Ware, preacher, are both well pleased at the resultt. According to program Mrs. V. A. Broughton, of Nashville, closed her missionary meeting at the above-named church Saturday, 20th, and all were well pleased at the outcome of the meeting. The brethren participating were Rev. V. E. Shipp, of Nashville; Rev. R. D. Ware, of Princeton, Ky.; Rev. P. Vertrees, of Gallatin. From the meeting the invited guests repaired to the residence of Mrs. B. Moore, where they dined sumptuously to a four-course meal well befitting the select party in persons of Rev. R. D. Ware, Miss L. Hanner, Rev. V. E. Shipp, Miss A. E. Thompson, Rev. P.

Prof. Gentry also ranks fairly well with the farmers, having a nice farm, well located and well stocked with horses, growing mules, cows, sheep and hogs. Locust Ridge Church, under the pastorate of Rev. Peter Starns, has recently been furnished with up-to-date benches.

TO OUR PATRONS. We feel there is due our patrons some explanation concerning matters pertaining to the Globe and its policy, as several complaints have been made in the past few weeks. First, we would like to call attention to the fact that for nearly four months we have been greatly handicapped owing to the incapacity of our editor, and the final result you well know. We are determined, however, to continue to serve the people to the best of our ability. When news articles come into our office we will gladly use them, providing our space will permit, but we must be allowed the privilege to decide what shall be published. Sometimes we have more matter than we can use. In such cases articles are often crowded out that we desire to put in. But of all things do not conceive the idea that we are partial toward certain individuals or classes; for our only aim is to serve the people. We wish to publicly thank Mr. J. D. Crenshaw for the valuable assistance he has rendered us since early last November in doing our editorial work. Our policy remains the same as it has been heretofore. The Nashville Negroes' welfare is our subject, the Tennessee Negroes' welfare is our predicate, and all the other Negroes' welfare our modifiers. Their joys are our joys and their sorrows are our sorrows. And we respectfully ask that there be an abundance of reciprocation. Let our sorrows be yours and our joys likewise. Our chief sorrow will be to drop your name from our list, and the only cause for which that can be done is nonpayment. Do not suffer such a trivial thing to exist WHEN IT IS SO. All sane men will agree that the old axiom "Silence is golden," is true when the conditions fit the case. But to ask that that statement be accepted as a panacea for all occasions would be contrary to reason. For instance, suppose a poor man had labored hard and stinted himself and family, so that on Christmas day they might assemble around the festal board and partake of a choice turkey prepared for the occasion. Suppose the head of the family should discover some one in the act of stealing their prize, do you think he would stand silently without entering a protest? Not for once. He would say, "To the winds with silence! you leave my turkey alone!" So it is in many cases and there seems to be an instance at present with the Negroes of this State. Some THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1909. of our conservative friends are inclined to advise us that the paltry sum of $16,000 will be a sufficient amount to establish a normal school for the Negro youth of Tennessee, and that we had best keep quiet; that "silence is golden," when as a matter of fact that amount is only about one-seventh of the sum appropriated by the General Assembly for Normal schools. Furthermore, the bill has only passed the Lower House and is subject to amendment before passage in the Senate. How are the members of the Upper House to know the Negroes are not satisfied unless the Negroes themselves tell them so? The time to break the silence is now, and not after the representatives assemble. The arrangement is an injust one as it now stands, and if the Negroes of to-day fail to contend for justice in this matter their posterity will condemn them in their graves. A HEALTHY SIGN. We will in the near future have another banking institution thrown open to us if the plans now under way mature; and when the names of the parties interested in the project are scanned no one will have any doubt as to the success of this new enterprise. There is room for a bank with the trust features in this city. The Negro citizens are rapidly investing in real estate, and are also opening business concerns. With this progress naturally grows a demand for banks and trust companies. These ventures are a healthy sign. They predict a brighter day for the Negro boys and girls who are soon to fill up the ranks that are being devastated by that tireless destroyer of men and things—Time. The employes' Y.M.C.A. of the Nashville Street Railway is no doubt producing much good, but it has not had the desired effect in every respect. It has been claimed that the passengers receive better attention since the organization of the association. The conductors, however, have not yet learned that it is their duty to seat passengers, so that the whole car can be utilized. The printing committee of the graduating classes of Meharry Medical College for 1909 sent the order for invitations to some concern out of the city. No one here, so far as can be learned, was permitted to bid on the job. That is putting a very low premium on the ability of the large printing offices conducted here by Negroes. Ex-President Roosevelt is now on his way to the jungles of Africa, where he expects to study conditions at first hand. The American people have faith in Mr. Roosevelt and believe his trip will result in much good to his countrymen and the world generally. We are being asked constantly when the new baseball park will be built by those energetic young Negro men who are supposed to have the matter in hand. We will answer once for all, we do not know. Last Tuesday the colored waiters at Vanderbilt University went out on a strike after they had been notified that they would be discharged on April 1. An inconsistent act. The business leagues got busy while company was in town, both the daddy and the infant. Do not rush them now, their guests has left the city. It seems that some one is bent on doing harm to the fireman at Fisk University. Maybe two men want the same job. The members of the Congress are indulging in a lively set-to with odds a little in favor of the Republican side. The rally at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Sunday, Mar. 21, was quite a success. The sum of $215.46 was raised. WHAT THE PRESS THOUGHT OF THE LATE EDITOR BATTLE. J. O. Battle Dies. In the death of J. O. Battle, editor of the Nashville Globe, one of the brightest and most promising lumi- naries in the whole journalistic constellation, we lose an able, fearless and efficacious writer. We cannot but regret the premature departure, for we fell the loss. From an edi- torial point of view, the Globe has risen to the equal of the best, and had surpassed the average. But one thing is certain, and that is death. A man's life is but a few days, after all. So we can only strive to so live that when our summons shall come, we can leave behind a record un- checkered and a god name that shall not pass away. Requiescat in pace.—The Forum. A shock was in store for us on last Monday morning when we unfolded the Nashville Globe (one of our most welcome exchanges) and read of the almost sudden taking away of its fearless editor, Mr, J. O. Battle. We were not personally acquainted with this fearless and gallant writer, but, following his editorials and comments week after week brought to us great admiration for such a defender of the people's rights. We extend sympathy to parents, relatives and his multitude of friends and odmirers.—Okla homa Tribune. We deeply regret to learn of the death of Mr. J. O. Battle, editor of the Nashville Globe. While Mr. Battle was not so widely known in this city, his newsy and wide-awake paper was read here by scores of people. He was better known by those who have attended Fisk and Meharry Universities and are now in the professions in this city. His journalistic career must have been very successful, as his paper was one of the newsiest and most edited that comes to our table. As a fellow craftsman we extend the Globe our heartfelt sympathy.—Cary B. Lewis. Editor J. O. Battle of the Nashville Globe quietly passes away. A fearless race man and leader has fallen.—Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. COMMUNICATIONS. Sparks from the Wire. To the Editor of The Globe. The winter season is about over and we are now being confronted with another spring. We predict a general revival both in State and church along business lines. Let every colored man, woman, boy and girl who has no occupation find one, and then if possible stick to it, until you can get a better one, and in so doing you will be able to make a good, honest living. Ignorance and laziness are a crime and will lead to destruction and we see the fruits of it every day, especially in the towns and cities. Too many of our people leaving the country are crowding into the cities, where they have nothing to do but stand on the corners and press brick and crack jokes. The race is entirely too poor to spend its time in idleness. The world is moving and if the Negro does not move with it he will not only get left, but will suffer the consequences. No race of people, according to history, can prosper and keep pace with the times without character, education, Christianity, industry, economy and wealth. Without these elements the Negroes will ever "hewers of wood and drawers of water." The Negro needs to turn his attention more to horticulture and agriculture. These are two important occupations and will pay well when properly attended to. I am glad to say that the better class of our people in the city of Nashville is wide awake to their interest in the way of business, of which I shall speak in my next issue. JAS. T. GILMORE. Nashville, Tenn. The Corrupt Influences in the Negro Department of the Public Schools of Nashville—Who Is Re- I offer this article to the Nashville Globe, the only secular Negro newspaper of this city that has dared to stand out independently in politics, religion and morality for what its editors and proprietors believe to be the best interests of the Negro people of Nashville. Without fear or favor, without hope of reward, it has taken a stand, and I believe the Negroes of Nashville, regardless of political or religious affiliations, have learned to look to this paper to speak out. I know that your paper has had somewhat of hardships. Attempts have been made to sway its policies of influence its tone, first by the offer of money, and second, by resorting to the courts. The attack of your paper upon the unjust management and regulations of the police, the noted article on the "Rotten Apple in the Barrel," the noted article on "Too Much Visiting After Sunset" and several other articles have caused the of COMING.

Hear Her at Mount Olive Baptist Church, Monday Night, April 5, Aud at First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Tuesday Night, April 6. ficials of state, county and city to inquire about this paper. I now call your attention to the Corrupt Influences in the Negro Department of the Public Schools and ask are you going to be silent on the rumors that are filling the moral atmosphere of Nashville? For more than three years, as a patron of the Nashville public schools, having both children and grandchildren attending the different schools, I have been made to shudder because of the wild, disgraceful rumors that are constantly being circulated in Negro society concerning the teachers in our schools, their conduct and the private character that seems to surround them. My attention is just called to two editorials in the McDowell Times, of Keystone, W. Va. The Negroes in that city and county, seemingly, are having the same to undergo that we, the Negroes of Nashville, have to undergo, that is, their school management is in the hands of white men and all that a Negro has to do to become a teacher of Negroes is to cater to the satisfaction of certain white men and they can teach in Negro schools regardless of what the Negroes may wish, think or say. Can the Negroes long endure this? Has not patience ceased to be a virtue and endurance come to an end? We feel like crying out like the Grecian of old, "How long, O Catilline?" Last week the Nashville daily papers reported that one of the leading principals of this city had been indicted before the grand jury for the seduction of a Negro girl under fifteen years of age. The same paper stated that this was a very aggravated case and that the girl had been a pupil in the school in which this Negro teacher was principal for a number of years. The writer of this article is acquainted with the teacher mentioned and has ever held him in high esteem—in fact, has many times pointed to him in the presence of his children and grandchildren as a man worthy of their emulation. I suppose there are a thousand other patrons of the city schools of this city and readers of your paper who have done likewise. Now what shall we as Negroes do? Shall we keep silent? We have no representative on the Board of Education to whom we can appeal. If carried to the courts we have no representative upon the jury; if carried to the City Council we have no representative in the City Council. All that this Negro will have to do will be to cater satisfactorily to the white men whose children need not come in contact with him, and he can pass off. Again we cry out, "O Catilline, how long?" We have kept silent too long. It is an open rumor in Nashville that the leading teachers in this city are parties to and proprietors of one or more dancing honky tonks where the little misses they attend the city schools are advised by the teachers to spend their evening from 8 to 11 o'clock in this dancing hall, notwithstanding the forty-two Negro Baptist and the fifteen Negro Methodist churches with their thousands of members making up a large majority of all the Negro population who are religiously and conscientiously opposed to dancing and class it with revelling and other immoral and indecent sins for which they will communicate members from their churches. Yet because these school teachers are employed by white men and because these white men know nothing and care less of the wishes or public sentiment of the Negroes, they employ teachers to run the Negro schools and encourage them to lead such examples to the grief and disgust of the Negro patrons and parents of Nashville. Some of the Negro teachers, male and female, boast to the Negroes that they are under no obligations to Negroes for their employment. A lady teacher in one of the Nashville schools, of high standing, and one that I had admired above many others, said not long since in my presence that she had no confidence in Negro men in Nashville she would be with out employment and would not make application as a teacher: that she only sought to have the good graces and wishes of white men and her employment was safe and secure, regardless of what Negroes might say I immediately excused myself from her presence and have been excuse until this day.

ISAIAH DAVIDSON, Manager. cussed, this accomplished young colored lady smiled, tossed her head, making the merry widow hat and its large feathers quiver, and remarked that she hoped never to live to see the day when that school would be in the hands of a Negro man as its president—that in her judgment Negro manhood had not reached that standard in morals, intellect and executive ability to hold so responsible a position. Two or possibly three of the young men took high exception, called her attention to the fact and excused themselves and I suppose they are still excused. Another young lady, highly accomplished, on being accosted for attending the Vendome where Negro women were compelled to leave by the back way, and where they were subjected to such humiliation that would bring blushes to any lady's face, remarked of the gallantry of the young white men who sat in the peanut gallery or buzzerroost near them. I might enumerate one after another of these experiences and then call up disgraceful rumors until this article would be too lengthy for casual reading. I therefore simply ask that this article appear in your columns and that you through your paper begin from time to time to turn the calcium light upon some of these rumors. If our little girls are to be taught or educated by women and men who are willing to put themselves in unbecoming attitudes to gain the private smiles of white men, it is time that we as parents should begin to confer together and pray a just God to redeem us and our children from the clutches of such destruction as is sure to come to the rising generation. If this article is called in question the writer has more to follow and believes that your paper whil be strongly supported by the Negro patrons and parents of Nashville when you come to the rescue of their little innocent girls as our future hope depends upon the wholesome teachings of our girls from eight to eighteen years of age.

C., vis: ited Meharry during the week and held a conference with the dean re garding the qualification of transferr ing between the two medical colleges. He expressed himself in the highest terms of Meharry and its work. Dr. G. W. Hubbard reports a very interesting and profitable meeting of the American Medical Colleges which was held on the 15th in New York City. On the 15th addresses were heard by Dr. Wytch, celebrated sur- géeon and author of Wytch’s Surgery, and by Dr. Long, President of the Association, ‘and by Dr. Pritchett, the president of the Carnegie Foundation. On invitation from Dean LeFerse, of Bellview “Medical College, he visited the institution. Also visited Cor- nell Medical College. In the evening he took dinner with Dr. Guernsey, former president of Roger Williams University. Afterward called on Dr. A. J. Love, class of 1890, who former- ly practiced in Chattanooga. Dr. Love subscribed $25.00 to the hospital fund. At Cincinnati, he sectred a ten dollar subscription over the phone from Dr. ‘A. D. Kelley, class of 1896, who is practicing in Covington, Ky. During his stay in New York City, Dr. E. S. Mars, of Brooklyn, called to see him. Both the dental and pharmaceutical departments have closed and quite ¢ few of the students of these depart ments are leaving for their vocation: Mr. T. J.

The teachers blame the parents, the parents blame the school system. Doubtless the truth is, as asual in such cases, that both are in fault. It seems to me the trouble started when parents began to think their children made of finer clay than themselves, and say, “I don’t want ny child brought up as I was. I was caught that my elders were my supe- riors,—that idea is behind the times. [ was taught to say “ma'am” and * sir” io my elders, that custom is too ser- vile. I was taught that in the pres: ence of my elders I must remain sil ent until spoken to—that makes a hild stupid, I was taught that at all mes and under all circumstances | ust obey at once and without ques: ‘'on all who were in authority over ne, I shall change all these methods with my children for they are all out of date.” They have changed them, fr to be out of date is, in the esti: vation of many, a worse predicament than to be a chronic violator of the itire decalogue! They have re versed them, and while some of the rropositions as reversed sound rather plausible, their practical working out is something horrible to contemplate. The average child of today recog: nizes no superiors, neither station, wisdom nor gray hairs are reverenced by him; to his mind all are either equals or inferiors, and he is hardly to be blamed, for this feeling is incul- cated in him from the ume he is able to think. When mother's dearest friend comes in for a gossip the children are no longer told to “run out and play!" they remain to add their quota to the conversation, frequently interrupting to flatly contradict their mother or to neighbors’ remotest ancestors are said to have been guilty and so they come to entertain a feeling of con- tempt instead of respect. Although the old-fashioned among us still, in our hearts, cling to “sir” end “ma'am” as proper replies, no ene could object to being answered “yes, no” by a child if the reply were made in a courteous tone. There may be, doubtless there are, children whose minds and hearts are cultiva- ted enough to render such replies courteous, but I have yet to make their acquaintance. Usually — the monosyllables are expelled with force enough to startled or else given with quiet contempt, The cnildren’s fa. vorite salutation sounds like “Hod doo” and is given alike to childhood and old age. The first time I was greeted in the street with “Hod doo” (condescending inflexion) by the lit- tle child of an aquaintance, [ received 2 shock which after years and many doses from many children has just be- gun to wear off. As for obedience, that is indeed out of date for most children obey only when they feel so disposed. Looked at from the standpoint of the chil- dren one can almost sympathize with them, for it must be a great nuisance to be compelled, by some one for whom one has no respect, to do what one does not want to do and can see no reason for doing, If neither par- ents, teachers nor any other creature are superior, not even in point of judgment and experience why should the children obey them? The fact that harsl, criticism is deserved no more by the children of the illiterate and ignorant than by many of those whose parents claim enlightenment and culture makes the whole matter worthy of serious consideration. Said an able and experienced teach- er recently, raising her hands in de- spair, “The children are simply run- ning wild. All punishment of them in school is practically forbidden and they know it perfectty well. Many parents admit to us their inability to ‘do anything with them,’ yet, they éx: pect miracles of us. Day after day | Bo home, from school, almost exhaust; ed by. the constant exertion of _ ner- } Neus force ‘necessary;.t, restrain my pupils., To, exert a continual ‘moral Tetedea tees Wael tiagalags chil dren, each of a different, complex na. ture and each coming from a differ- ent invironment is indeed a hercu: lean task, With older.;children. who have Jearned |some Spite not and to whose pride and self-respect one can appeal, the task is more simple.” The. present-day theory of educa: tion is very beautiuly;"’The child is a tendes plant and must be sheltered from; every, adverse. wand;..the child ig a lump of wax and;eyery, impres; Sionoapon #b.must shej very, eavefully made.” Mhatiisjthe truth but, pot, the wholentruth. For, besides resembling such welitate objects,, the. child is ushally:a-wild,/ unbroken. colt and needs: bridie:and, jronebit {o. restnain him; the child {s oftem.a hard, tough hjckory log upon which maul suasion is far more effective than moral sua- sion. If unquestioning, perfect obedience to authority is considered absolutely essential to the proper training of the soldier who may or may not be called upon to fight his country’s enemies, how can such obedience safely be dis- | pensed with in the training of chil: dren? There is no doubt about the battles they must fight, the enemies (key must conquer or fall victim to— inherited weaknesses, acquired vices, careless habits, temptations without and within, ‘The times and the manners are con- stantly changing and the children of each generation hear the days of their grandparents lauded until “the good cld times” become synonymous in | tne minds with the times of the ‘good old fogies.” But for all that | there is within the breast of every | thoughtful person a feeling of pride, | respect and tender vesard for the fen | remaining “ladies and gentlemen of | the old: school”, ‘They were brought up under such maxims as. these:— | ‘cnitaren, obey your parents: in all things for this is well pleasing to the | Lord,” “Train up a child in the way jhe should go and when he is old he will not depart from it,” “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” ‘These ideas of course, were obtained from the Bi ble, but many of the up-to-date par: ents ‘are now quite willing to leave BANK.

No child can go far wrong who receives and heeds stich wholesome, old-fashioned advice as the following written by a mother to her son at boarding school nearly two centuries ago:—“Let your first consern bee to make your pease with God, as itt is of all conserns of ye grateest importence. Keep a stedy watch over your thoughts, words and actions, bee dutiful to superiors obl- ging to equalls and a; bel toe inferi- ors.” Besides the inestimable value to mind and character good friends, prosperous enterprises and high hon ors await him who in his youth has learned to be dutiful, obliging and af- fable. Now and again one meets with children who have been trained in this good old-fashioned way and contact with such is indeed refresh- ing. We greet them in the streets 7 ‘ ¥ . Nt.

Hurt led with a base hit, Caldwell advanced him to third base with a timely fumble; Johnson hit a slow ball which was badly handled at first, the bases being full with no one out; Allison knocked a fly, which was caught by Kindle. D. Anderson hit a ball which looked good for two bags, but owing to loose playing he circled the bases for a home run. Hurt, Caldwell and Johnson having crossed the plate, the two last men were retired. Six tallies were now chalked to Pearl's credit. In the fourth inning Enos took Bufford's place, Perkins and Caldwell secured base hits in the "affiti," and in the sixth the latter stealing second; but the forthconiling swat did not materialize.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. Every day the interest in the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital prospect in creases. This was seen on last Thursday night when a large crowd was noticeable at the Meharry Auditorium. The meeting had been advertised and special invitations sent out on post cards to people throughout the city. They responded freely. The program consisted of short talks and plans for a more aggressive campaign. There will be no letup until the $25,000.00 is secured and this needed charitable institution erected. The officers of the association are pushing the work and soliciting the co-operation of every man and woman in the city, while the alumni of Meharry and Walden are doing active work, both in and out of the city of Nashville. It was not definitely known Thursday just how much had been subscribed, but it was understood that the amount has gained more than 20 per cent, since the last meeting. There will be hundreds of Nashville people, many of whom look to Meharry and Walden as their Alma Mater here, during the commencement exercises, who will, no doubt, contribute and subscribe freely and hope is entertained that before the coming school year opens, actual work will be done on the hospital proper. It may be that the city will be divided into districts and committees be sent out to make a thorough canvass so that no one will be overlooked or neglected. The smaller the mite given from the fullness of the heart, the bigger the donation. This seems to be the slogan of the work in the interest of the institution. The students leaving the city are carrying the news with them of the work being accomplished along this line. This, to gether with the newspaper notoriously that has been given serves to put it before the people. From the response THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1909 to the appeals, it is meeting the hearty approval of every one. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom, has called to her reward our esteemed friend and president, Arvilla Bunn, and, Whereas, In her death we mourn the loss of one whose many sterling virtues had endeared her to the hearts of all with whom she came in contact, be it therefore, Resolved, That we, the Children of Mary, in meeting assembled, offer our heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved mother and sister in this their hour of affliction; and be it further, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Bunn, and a copy to the Nashville Globe for publication. (Society of the Children of Mary, Holy Family Church, Nashville, Tenn. Alexine Walker, Recording Secretary.) --- BAPTISMAL GARMENTS. BAPTISMAL GARMENTS Every pastor and every evangelist doing active work should have a baptismal garment, as this is the season of revivals. They are convenient, they are needed, they are serviceable. A minister can leave his pulpit and go right to the river or baptismal pool and administer this sacred ordinance without getting wet or without being compelled to re-arrange his toilet. All of this is accomplished by simply putting on a baptismal garment. They are waterproof, made of the best grade of rubber goods. If you desire one, send us the size of the shoe worn, the measurement around the waist and the distance from the crotch to the floor. If you want a baptismal robe, send us your height, the length of the arm and the measurement around the chest. Call on or write us for prices.
