THE NASHVILLE GLOBE.
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
THE A. M. E. CHURGH REVIEW PLANING GREAT TIME.
April Twenty-fifth Date Celebration Begins.
BISHOP H. B. PARKS, OF CHICAGO, TO BE SPECIAL GUEST— CHURCHES IN NASHVILLE GREATLY AROUSED — EVERY CHURCH IN THE AFRICAN METHODIST CONNECTION WILL CELEBRATE THE OCCASION— THE REVIEW THE OLDEST MAGAZINE PUBLISHED BY NEGROES.
Recently the A. M. E. Review, the oldest and one of the most thoughtful Negro magazines in the world, moved from Philadelphia to Nashville because of better business facilities. With the April issue, the Review is twenty-five years old and it is proposed to celebrate this event all over the land. Because Nashville is the home of the Review, the citizens intend to make the exercises here superior to any other place. It is the opinion of the pastors and prominent church workers that on Sunday, the 25th of April, will see previous records broken as to church attendance. Bishop Parks, of Chicago, one of the most eloquent men in the United States, will preach at St. Paul Church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Special music will be furnished by the choir. Every church in the city of the African Methodist Connection will celebrate this event. The people are fully aroused and the indications are that it will be a red letter day in the history of Nashville.
At 3 o'clock p. m. a platform meeting will be held at St. Paul, at which there will be a great outpouring of citizens of all the churches to hear speeches from representative men of the city. Drs. R. H. Boyd, C. H. Clark, Revs. S. Jackson, G. L. Imes, S. E. Griggs, Preston Taylor, Mr. J. C. Napier, Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Rev. Amos and several others have been invited to taek part. The faculties and students of Fisk, Walden and Roge Williams Universities have also been invited. Bishop Parks will preside at the platform meeting.
As a special attraction, it is expected that the Fisk Jubilee Singers and the Walden Glee Club will sing in the afternoon. The celebration continues through Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights; the Tennessee School for the Blind has kindly consented to furnish the program Monday night at St. Paul. Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the Review, will lecture Tuesday. The crowning of the Review Queen will be resrvd for Wednesday night.
The Globe hopes to see Nashville turn out in all its beauty and strength to honor a magazine that stands for the whole race, regardless of church or creed. The week's program will be given in detail next week.

The second annual egg-hunt at Greenwood Park Saturday, April 10th, was a decided success. The attendance was twice that of the previous year, notwithstanding the sudden change of the weather. The children came with life and vigor and with a greater determination to find that which was hidden beneath the rocks, hills and about the streams at Greenwood Park. A greater number of the parents and friends of the little ones was present and seemed to enjoy themselves with as keen a delight and zest as the successful egg-hunters.
It is the desire of the management of Greenwood Park to make this day each year a gala day for the little ones and an improvement on that of the previous year. We take this method of thanking all, who so liberally donated to this cause for the pleasure of the little folks.
The following is a list of those who gave donations and also the names of the successful prize-winners:

The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. The programme was taken up, which was a memorial service in memory of the late Miss Maggie Hamm, who was called to her reward some days ago. She had been a teacher of the county for about fourteen years and was secretary of the Teachers' County Institute until her health necessitated a substitution. She leaves many warm friends to mourn her loss. The programme was as follows: solo, Miss Sallie King: paper, "Miss Hamm as a friend," Miss S. E. Page; song, "Go bury thy sorrows," Mesdames Sallie Thompson, Cora Fields and Vera Crittenden.

REV. C. H. CLARK SOUNDS KEYNOTE - PUT GREAT STRESS ON THE SUBJECT IN SUNDAY SCHOOL LAST SABBATH—PLEA FOR HOME FOR THE YOUNG—BELIEVED THE MOVE WOULD SUCCEED. UNDER HIS. GUIDANCE—HAS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE—HAS GREAT RECORD AS PASTOR.
A movement is now on foot in Nashville that will mean the saving of the young Negro boys. The movement while it has not assumed gigantic proportions has really been consumated, but it was not genecrally known until this week. The pastor of one of the largeest churches in the city is said to be behind the movement and if it is true that he has fully decided to push such an effort, it, no doubt, will mean that Nashville will again show to other cities how she can lead off in planning and doing great things for the race. The object of the movement on foot will be to prepare a home or building with the proper equipment in the right part of the city, where boys may find a respectable and inviting place to spend their leisure hours. It is purposed to raise $25,000 for the purchase of the plot and the erection of such a building at an early date as will serve such a purpose. It was Sunday morning in addressing the Sunday-school that Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., the able pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, remarked to a class of bright, young boys in his Sunday-school with more than 200 present: "I will give the first $100 in cash and pledge to raise $5,000 for the purchase of a lot and the erection of a building, where our boys may have a home, where they can go for pleasure and recreation like other boys, where they can spend their leisure hours, where they can meet their friends, where they can read or indulge in innocent games of amusement—anything that they desire that will tend to make them better men, that will uplift the race, I am willing to do. Our boys must be saved and I feel it a part of my duty, my work, my mission in life, to save the boys."
On Monday and Tuesday it had become known all over the city that this able divine had thrown out this inviting suggestion and now it seems that he will have able assistance. However, if one man can raise $5,000, four more men ought to be found, or a set of men should easily be found to raise the remaining $19,000 to make up the $25,000. At any rate, the commotion caused by this declaration last Sunday is noticeable. The fact that this divine has built and paid for, without philanthroic effort on the part of any one, within the past thirteen years the well-fitted, magnificent, and spacious church on Cedar street, valued at about $50,000 is used as an argument that this was no idle remark. It is known that he has the following, and no people in Nashville under any one leader will do more in church and religious affairs when led on by this well-known giant. The public has looked from time to time upon such men to carry out their wishes and supply these long-felt wants. Nashville needs many things. It needs a Negro shoe store, a Negro hotel properly conducted and centrally located. It needs an auditorium where Negroes can hold meetings that are not proper and fit for churches. It needs a Negro dry goods and department store, with many other things, but the crying need of the hour as emphasized by Dr. Clark last Sunday morning in the presence of his Sunday-school to the classes of boys, is a home, a place, a building for our boys. It is expected that a concerted effort on the part of the citizens will have these needs supplied. One gentleman said in a conversation on Tuesday that Nashville boasted of 35,000 Negroes. If 25,000 of that num-

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AT MOUNT
OLIVE.
The effort put forth by Prof. Washington and others to get uniforms for the high school boys received much encouragement on last Monday night when they gave their second annual concert at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The Glee Club from the high school was the program. The boys rendered excellent music and a large audience showed its appreciation during the course of the evening. The renditions she wed the result of much training. Pleasing numbers were enced heartily. No exact report of the financial success could be obtained as quite a few tickets were still unreported. Another effort like the one of Monday night and the uniform subject will be solved.

MISS JOANNA P. MOORE.
Sojourning in the city of Nashville for the present is Miss Joanna P. Moore. The name of itself is an introduction to the entire South and is a name that all Nashville honors and respects. Miss Moore has been headquartered in Chicago for the past three years, having been taken there by the officers of the woman's executive committee. Although she has been out of Nashville she has continued to edit and publish Hope, a monthly journal devoted entirely to the home, and with thousands of readers all over the United States. There is hardly a periodical published for the benefit of the race that is more generally known than is Sister Moore's "Hope." Then too, she is looking after the interest and work of her life—the Fireside School on Mulberry street. Although advanced in years she has that originality and that real interest in the race which enables her to push her purpose through even though she can only direct in a feeble way. Sister Moore was visiting many old friends and establishments this week. Noticeable about her is her memory of her work. In a conversation with the Globe reporter she was very particular to state some things that had been requested more than three years ago. She said that she noticed that many of them had not been done. Although 77 years of age she declares that her strength to do in a spiritual way was greater. A careful search will prove that there are but few left of the type and school of Miss Moore. Possibly one more in Nashville in the person of Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, who seems to be living only for the sake of the work that he began in his early years. There was a time when the Nashville people could look around and count them by the half dozen and dozens, but one by one they have been taken away and possibly these two are the only ones actively at work.
BISHOP I. B. SCOTT KNIGHTED
AT A RECEPTION GIVEN IN
HIS HONOR BY THE AMERICAN MINISTER.
The President Offers to Knight American Minister:
On February the 18th, at 8 p. m., the parlors of the American Legation were the scene of a reception given by the American Minister in honour of Bishop I. B. Scott, D. D., LL. D., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who has lately returned from an extensive trip to the United States.
The Legation was tastefully decorated with fern, flowers and flags of various nations.

The Bishop in well chosen terms thanked the President for the honor thus extended and assured him and the gentlemen present that the cause of Liberia will always be dear to him.
When congratulations were being tendered the guest of honor, President Barclay disclosed another Diploma of the Humane Order of African Redemption which he offered the American Minister with fitting remarks. Principal among the references made by the President to the career of Minister Lyon, were those in respect of the interest which he has unitingly laboured to awaken in the American Government for Liberia and the legitimate zeal which has characterized him in forwarding movements conducive to the good of the Republic.
The minister expressed his agreeable surprise and courteously requested the postponement of his acceptance until the approval of his Government could be obtained.
Among the guests were the President and the members of his cabinet, the Vice-President, several Senators and Representatives, the German and Belgian Consuls, the Secretary of the American Legation, Bishops Ferguson and Heard, President Reed of the College of West Africa and Counsellors T. McCants Stewart and Charles B. Dunbar—The Liberian Register.

EDUCATION OF THE YOUTH.
In the North, the East, the West
‘and the South, there is one general
ery—Education. The city of Atlanta,
Ga., has had as guests since the 14th
of this month the members of the
Conference for Education in the
South, a body composed of the lead-
Ang educators from all sections of the
United States. Their purpose in
meeting was to discuss the education-
al needs of the country in general
and the South in particular. When
the educational needs of the South are
referred to the next thought to come
into the minds of a majority~of the
people is that the Negroes, as a class,
are under consideration. But that idea
can be quickly removed by a careful
study of the situation. In the state
of Georgia, in the capital of which
the national conference convened Wed-
nesday, the authorities are making ef
forts to establish an industrial acade-|
my in every county. In the fair com
Monwealth of Tennessee the lower'|
house of the General Assembly recent: |
ly decided that the Negro youth of
js “tate only needs the paltry sum
ae + industrial and
of $17,000 fora Normai, .. 1
Mechanical College, but that the white
youth needs the State University, with
every inodern equipment that the
most advanced minds can advise, a
million-dollar endowment from the
Peabody fund, supplemented with a
large donation by the state, Davidson
County and the city of Nashville, 4
normal and industrial college in each
of the three grand divisions of the
state, and a system of institutes to
train teachers for work in the public
schools—all of this against $17,000
for the Negro youth, who constitute
over one-third of the population of
the state. Would that create the im-
pression that the Negro is. receiving
much consideration?
If the population of the state is
three whites to one black, as is]
claimed, all appropriations and dona-
tions should be divided on a like
basis, and the schools established
should be set apart in a like manner,
But despite the fact that the Negroes
have a greater percentage of iilitera-
ey they are only to receive one-sev-
enth of the amount appropriated for
normal schools. ‘They are to get no
part of the Peabody million-dollar
gift, the appropriations made by the
state, the county and city in which
the Peabody Normal is located, nor
are they admitted to the State Uni-
versity. Over $10,000,000 applied to
the education of the white youth;
17,000 for the Negroes—a gloomy pic-|
ure,
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1909,
A PLEA FOR THE YOUNG.
We have recently witnessed two he-
roic efforts by the white peovle of
Nashville for the welfare of the
young men and women of their race,
Over $300,000 has been pledged to
eect buildings for the Y, MC. A.
and the Y. W. ©. A. Busy men laid
aside everything and gave their time
and money that the reputation of this
city might be established. It meant
sacrifice to many to raise these sub-
scriptions, and it shows a spirit of
patriotism and- benevolence.
‘The young men and women of the
Negro race are subjected to every dan-
ger that gonfronts any other people
in the efty, and even more, They
have no places to spend their leisure
hours except the church and the lodge
room and neither..of these are open
xt all times, nor are they institutions
that vouldabe expected to re com-
munity as a Y. M. C. A. Bitilding.
The chureh isa {lace of worghitp, and
the lodge room is a;place of aisiness.
The Young Men's Christian gsocia,
tion fills a want that no pe nme
can, and the young Negroes of Nash-
ville stand sorely in need of such in-
stitutions, Ii would, be an everlasting
wemorial to this generation if they.
would erect two buildings at a cost
of $50,000 to leave as a heritage for
unborn generations, It would mean
sacriflee—yes; that is why it should
be done. We do not mean that this
amount be solicited from the white
people, but that it be given from the
earnings of the forty thousand Ne-
groes of Nashville, It is a duty we
owe our posterity.
SILVER JUBILER.
Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor and pub-
lisher of the A. M. B, Church Re-
view, has planned to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of that mag-
azine on the 25th of this month. The
Review is the oldest magazine pub-
lished by Negroes in this country.
During its twenty-five years existence
it has not missed a single issue. It
has always been conducted on a high
plane, and has only changed editors
three times. The Review was pub-
lished in Philadelphia, Pa, for a num-
ber of years, but the inducements to
come to Nashville were so many that
a few months ago the editor decided
to move here, We guarantee that
When this celebration is oyer Prof.
Kealing will know for a fact that he
has not made a mistake in coming to
this city.
| We acknowledge the receipt of a
‘copy of the second issue of “The Wall
‘Street Guide” a journal published by
Robert W. Taylor, the only Negro
broker doing business in Wall street.
‘This is a new departure in race four
nalism. We hope for our new HS

COMMUNICATION,
An Isolated Case,
To the Nashville Globe: |
During the week there appeared
in the columns of a local daily paper
a news item under the caption of
“Negro Educated Too Much.” This
news item is paraded for the same
purpose that all such news items are
aired in the columns of newspapers,
and that is the miserable attempt to
show that education is not good for
the Necro. But-all suen attempts are
futile insofar as having a bearing
on the Negro to check him in his ef-
forts to procure a good education.
‘This particular Negro is quoted as
having said in answer to a question
as to what could he attribute his men-
tal condition: “Super-education, I'm
‘a Negro and have no business with a
college education" Granting that he
‘did say he-had no business with a col-
lege education, who cares? He is the
best judge of that fact, and there it
should end. He may not have had
any need for his, but there are thou-
sands upon thousands of others who
have good education and know they
have business with such an accom-
plishment, sieit
Tt is a joy unspeakable, it seems,
for some papers to trot ont to view in
some conspicuous place in their col-
wmns anything that has a tendency
to discredit Negro people. But when
any member of the race is engaged in
any laudable work for the betterment
of the people, these same newsddis-
pensers are as mute as lambs—but
lambs thy are not. Last week there
was within the gates of this city-a
woman of not cnly national but inter
national reputation, and she was en:
gased in the worthy task of pointing
‘Out in her lectures the way to whole:
some citizenship, yet not a line, as
We are, aware of, could be spared in
the paper that printed “Negro edu
eated too much,” to say she was giv-
ing ont good advice to her people,
**BVery race has-such freaks as the
oné spoken of in the news item here
refered to. But you never know of
it throwgit the press. This isolated
case is no criterion by which to judge
the Negro people. ‘They will continue
to push ahead’ in pursuit of high
school, academic, college and univer.
sity education despite sadverse criti-
cism from whomsoever and from
whatever source.

Our little village is found seven miles from Fayetteville in a very fertile region land owned by several Negroes, have a blacksmith using his own material, hiring his own help as the white blacksmith here. We have preachers and teachers also, and a very small crop of loafers. The public school at this place under the management of Miss Hattie Dee Howland, of Murfreesboro, closed, and Miss Howland has returned to her parents, Mr. and Mrs.-Wilson Howland.

CULLEOKA NOTES:
Madam Mohonga, a real African lady and an excellent elocutionist, rendered a very interesting and amusing concert on last Monday evening at the A. M. E. Church. She recited one of Dunbar's poems, which was very grand indeed, after which she and her husband played an excellent Dialogue and the moral feature was grand. I must say the short talk she gave on Africa was the source of much pleasure. I am quite sure neither the young nor old will forget the word which she put so much force upon when speaking of her native home. It was quite a treat to the people of this place to have Madam Mahonga visit this vicinity.
Rev. D. W. Wells preached an excellent sermon at the A. M. E. Church on last Wednesday night.
Hope Rebecca House Hold of Ruth gave a birthday entertainment on Saturday night, which was the source of much pleasure. The committee on the

tables were viz. Mrs Ann Hughs, Parthenia Fitzpatrick, Mary Ford and Mary Moore. Door clerks: Mr. Andrew Hughs and Wm. Epps. They realized a very neat sum.
Sunday was Easter and every face upon the earth was renewed. There were services at the A. M. E. Church before noon. Rev. M. C. Skillern preached the Easter Sermon Sunday a. m. Services conducted by Mr. H. H. Hughs, after which an Easter program was rendered. An address by Mr. E. J. Martin also Mr. Anderson Hughs and M. D. Dean.
Services and program rendered at the First Baptist Church at 2 o'clock. Many addresses were rendered by prominent members of different churches.
At 4 o'clock sharp Mr. Tom Reynolds and Mrs. Ida Cruse were united in holy wedlock at the A. M. E. Church. The wedding was grand; the bride was dressed in silk; the groom in black material. Mrs. Richardson, of Lynnville, furnished the music. The church was decorated in ferns and artificial lilies. The congregation was numerous. There were just as many white citizens at the wedding as colored and many valuable presents were given, the groom being one of the mail carriers and standing high in their estimation.
Rev. M. C. Skillern will have services at his church Tuesday night; Rev. John Gilmore will accompany him. Rev. C. W. Norman made some clear points Sunday night in preaching the Easter Sermon which was very nicely realized by the smallest child. We have need to feel proud of our beloved pastor; he is such a Christ-like man, and his sermons are so interesting and his lectures are more than grand. Mr. Robert Moore, of Lewisburg, was the guest of Mr. Will London Sunday.
TULLAHOMA NOTES
LOCATION OFFERED FOR COLORED INSTITUTION.
Ten acres of ground offered as an inducement for the location of the prospective State Normal and Industrial Institute for colored boys and girls of Tennessee, the bill for which is now pending in Legislature. The tract of land is about one-half mile from town, near the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. Hundreds of acres of ground can be bought joining the tract of ten acres at a very reasonable price.
The citizens of Tullahoma held an Educational Mass-Meeting April 1, 1909. Prof. J. W. House acted as chairman, Dr. T. B. Spencer as secretary. Prof. J. W. House delivered an appropriate address pertaining to this prospective Institute, then called upon Prof. W. T. Petty, of Winchester, to deliver an address, which was excellent. Quite a large number of the citizens of Tullahoma met in this Educational Mass-Meeting. The following citizens made short talks: Messrs. S. R. Jones, W. Farris, Rev. J. S. Swift and Rev. Wm. Jenkins. The citizens of Tullahoma show their interest for location of the prospective State Normal and Industrial Institution in the town of Tullahoma by the offer of the ten acres of ground.

Doubtless the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of the citizens of Murfressboro for many years occurred at the public reception given by the Daughters of Cyrene of the W. P. L. A. Association on the 4th inst.
The occasion was the annual visit of Rev. J. N. Watkins, Supreme Grand President of the W. P. L. A. Association of America. The working people, the society folks and those repre-
sentting the professions all turned out en masse to honor one of their noble sons. Since Murfreesboro is the home of Rev. Watkins, and the lodge which so auspiciously honored him is the one in which he began his work with the Association, it was right that he should have begun his series of annual visits here.
The meeting was opened by Mrs. Augusta Miller, the local president. Too much praise can not be said of her for the able and business-like manner with which she presides over the work of the organization. She recounted in glowing terms the work of the Association and urged upon her auditors the necessity of the combining of the efforts of the masses and urged that the people give their support to all the enterprises conducted by the race.
She then introduced Mr. H. C. Childress, president of lodge No. 6, who spoke interestingly of the work that was being done and gave strong emphasis to the plea for the support of all businesses conducted by colored people.
The President next introduced Rev. W. Lillard, who introduced the distinguished guest of the evening. Rev. W. Lillard spoke nobly of Rev. Watkins, his long acquaintance with him, his loyalty to his race and the great work he has done for the working people.
The crowning event came when Rev. Watkins arose to speak. The applause was deafening; Rev. Watkins was never in better form, and doubtless the most eventful period of his life was when he faced the veritable sea of faces on this occasion. He thanked the reception committee for the honor done him; he gave an interesting history of the beginning of the organization, its growth and the sixteen years of service he had seen in its work. He referred pathetically to the tender sare of his mother and said that whatever he had accomplished in life was due her teachings and prayer for his success.
There were frequent outbursts of amblause as he spoke and at the conclusion of his address many were the encomiums given him. The audience arose and sang "Crown Him Lord of All," after which all were invited to partake of a delightful menu.

BISHOP CALDWELL VISITS NASH
VILLE
The influx of visitors to this city which has been predicted to be unusually large during the month of June, is certain to upset all calculations. Evidences of this fact were brought out this week in an interview with Bishop J. S. Caldwell, D. D., of the A. M. E. Z. Church, with headquarters at Philadelphia. Bishop Caldwell spent two days in Nashville looking after the religious work of his church. He was in company with Rev. Scott and Goff when met by your correspondent.
He said that he had found much in Nashville to remind him of the fact that this is one of the greatest publishing centers in the world and that he felt proud that his church was also helping to contribute to the progress the race is making by maintaining a house of its own at Charlotte, N. C. "I am out of the office on a three weeks' visit to the South. My objective point, however, from here will be Mobile, Ala., where I will spend some time in our particular work," said Bishop Caldwell when asked of his plans. He said further that he was fully confident that quite a number of people out of the East would come to Nashville in June to the Sunday-school Congress, which he learns has been called for June 9-14th and which is creating such interest all over the country.
EASTER ENTERTAINMENT.
An Easter egg hunt was given by Class No. 3, of Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday-school, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Norton, on Tilden street. The program began with dinner which was served at half-past three, after which a large number of out door games were played. At four o'clock the hunt for the eggs began, which was the most important part of the program. The first prize, which was a linen handerchief, was won by Bertha Ellis, who found the gold egg. The second prize was awarded to Eddie Bluing, which was a handsome silk tie. He found the silver egg. After the egg hunt the dining-room was thrown open to the guests where an ice-course was served. The table was decorated in white linen and all kinds of potted flowers. After the serving of the refreshments the children were invited to the front porch where they were entertained by Mr. Norton with his comical featured dog.

WONDERFUL INCREASE IN BANK-
ING BUSINESS.
The Alabama Penny Savings & Loan
Co., of Birmingham, Ala., In-
crease Capital Stock
to $100,000.
The meeting called for the pur-
pose 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 settlement 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.
We received deposits and subscriptions to New Stock by mail, and pay 4 per cent on Time Deposits. We own $75,000.00 worth of Real Estate, on which we receive a nice rental. Our officers and force are bonded and money insured in the National Security Company, New York. The New Stock will be sold for $5.00 per share until September 30th, 1909.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
The rendition of the "Cross and Crown" which was rendered at the Episcopal church Sunday evening, April 11, will be repeated Sunday evening, April 25. Though the rendition was creditable, owing to the absence of several prominent voices caused by severe colds, it has been requested by the many friends that the rendition be repeated and same has been granted by Mrs. White and participants.
POULTRY RAISING.
Mrs. Bettie Choate, of 1024 South street, one of Nashville's most energetic colored women, is to be commended for the rapid strides up the ladder of success she has been and is still making. We all remember with pleasant recollections the many well-cooked meals she used to serve the public when she had charge of her restaurant on Cedar street. She has long since retired from that business; but now, feeling as she has always felt, that there is nothing to be accomplished by sitting down at home with our hands folded, she has gone into poultry raising at home. She has already one hundred and eighteen young chickens ranging from eight weeks old down. We all wish for her greater success.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1909
SPORT
The Athletic Association of Fisk University have elected the following officers for the season of 1909:
It was learned from the Business Manager that efforts will be made to put the school's athletics in a higher class and that nothing will be left undone to accommodate those who will attend the different games played upon the campus.
The members of the Standard Giants baseball team have been out for work for the past several days and are showing up well. They are planning for a good season and are going about their work with a dash that, if continued, will mean nothing but success. There are a number of new faces among the team, but they all seem to be ball players of class. Mr. White should be able to mold out a good team. He fears only one thing, and that is the pitching department. There seems to be a scarcity of good men in that line, but he is hopeful and says that before the season is well on he will have two or three good men. From reports it was gleaned that he is already in touch with several good men. The other positions are strong, with a good team in the field. The support of the baseball fans is assured.
Negro Pitcher Holds Shut Out Record. In the month of November, 1908, Pitcher Mendez of the Almendases team of Havana pitched five successive shut-out games, or forty-five innings without a run being made off him. This record was made in three games against the Cincinnati National League team (visiting in Cuba) and in two games against a strong Key West team. In the three games he pitched against Cincinnati not a man reached third base. Mendez is the most wonderful pitcher ever produced in Cuba, the equal of any of the big stars of the American or National League teams and is the main asset of the Cuban Stars. Mendez is the best all around player in Cuba, and his color—black as coal—is probably the only thing that keeps him from being a star in one of the major league teams. He also holds the long distance throwing record of Cuba.
Mr. Lerk Smith left the city last Friday night for Memphis to witness the games between the Chicago Leland Giants and the Memphis Giants. After leaving Memphis Mr. Smith will go with the team to Birmingham and Chattanooga, returning to Nashville some time in the latter part of the month. Mr. Smith is on the lookout for good players for a team in the East. No doubt he will find the South a splendid field and may be able to send up some live ones from this section.
The Standard Line baseball club of East Nashville has now lined up for the season to challenge any team in the South for a game of baseball. We know that we can give any team a warm reception on any diamond. We have a few new men and we are sure to make good. Manager and Secretary, Wm. Bragg; captain, J. W. Epperson; Treasurer and President, C. Spaulding.
AN ACT OF KINDNESS
In the proceedings of the Davidson County Court Monday afternoon there was presented a petition from Mr. G. N. Tillman, recently candidate for Governor of Tennessee. The prayer of the petitioner was that the County Court reimburse him in the sum of $97 which he had expended in the care of an injured and friendless colored boy. The petition exposed an act of kindness that might otherwise never have become known, for men who do these sort of things are not in the habit of exploiting their acts before a criticizing public, but they are acts, however, that are full of human interest, and many expressions of pleasure were noted among the members of the court at being enabled to reimburse Mr. Tillman.
Shortly before Christmas Louis Caldwell, a poor colored boy, was trying to earn an honest penny gathering mistletoe and fell from a high tree near Mr. Tillman's country place, breaking both legs between the knee and thigh. An examination of the boy revealed that unless he was properly cared for death would result. Mr. Tillman had him conveyed to the City Hospital and paid all the bills until the boy was able to be removed, and in his action received the congratulations of Judge Pollard, who took occasion to compliment him when his prayer was read before the squires.

THE CITIZENS OF NASHVILLE ARE AWAKENING
To the Fact That the Sunday-School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua Will Meet in the City of Nashville from June 9th,14th, and They Are Beginning in Time to Make Ready for That Great Event.
It is the intention of Nashville to give the delegation a hearty welcome. They are making preparation for 5,000 delegates, The Business League, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Nashville Street Railway Company have taken a hand, each manifesting a marked interest in the coming Congress. The Baptist Pastors' Conference on March 29th thoroughly discussed ways and means for entertaining the delegates. It resolved into a committee of the whole on arrangements and organized with Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor of Spruce Street Baptist Church as Chairman, and Rev. J. C. Fields as Corresponding Secretary. They have opened headquarters with office at the National Baptist Publishing Board and will set about answering all out-of-town communications, receiving applications for homes and arranging for the comfort of the delegates. A reception committee is to be appointed from the various Sunday-schools by each pastor, and committees of ladies and gentlemen will meet each delegation and escort them to the place of meeting and a committee will be in readiness to show each delegate to his or her boarding place, showing them what car or cars to take to reach their boarding places and the place of meeting. The Street Railway Company is making special arrangements to have special cars meet all trains and run directly to the church and a member of the committee will be on board to show the delegation how to reach these places. All of the railroads entering Nashville are making special preparations and will give special rates to persons visiting the Congress. The Publishing Board is making special efforts to procure the services of the best and most noted Sunday-school specialist of America. Dr. Pius, of Springfield, Ohio, will have the music in charge and special music will be arranged and a chorus of one hundred voices will be trained for the occasion. Let every Sunday-school worker of America avail himself of this opportunity to attend a school of methods. Let every educator meet the Educators' Conference and every missionary male or female, meet the Missionary Conference that will be held each day.
ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF MURDER.
George Armstrong, of East Nashville, about 30 years of age, was arrested Monday on a charge of murder. It appears that Armstrong assaulted his wife some three or four weeks ago and was arrested for assault and battery and carrying concealed weapons and was bound over to the Crimi-Court by Judge Baker. It is reported that during the altercation he dragged his wife from the house to the street and the result was that Mrs. Armstrong had a badly fractured knee. The woman was taken to the hospital where an operation was performed and died three hours after the operation, being too weak to stand the shock.

PHILLIPS HALL JUST COMPLETED.
Tyler, Tex.,—Bishop C. H. Phillips,
of the Colored Methodist Episcopal
Church is expected here to-morrow to
especially look after the interest of
the large college. He is president of
the board of trustees of this college.
The architect says that the $30,000
building has been completed and is
ready to be turned over to the trustees.
Bishop Phillips spent the month of February in Texas, where he met the presiding elders of the state and laid plans to raise $9,000 for the school next September. The Bishop will spend Easter at Mineral Wells and spend a day in Fort Worth and Dallas, each, and then go to Tyler, where he will receive the new building in the or of the splendid work performed name of the trustees.
At the last annual meeting of the board of trustees the name of this college was changed from the Texas College to Phillips University in honry the Bishop in establishing this institution. In addition to this the citizens of Tyler who had contributed to the enterprise wishing to further honor the Bishop, suggested that the building just completed be named Phillips Hall, and in addition to this presented a large stone with the words Phillips Hall on it, paid for it and had it placed in an appropriate position in front of the building. Bishop Phillips says the institution is prospering in every particular.
PLEASANT EVENING.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mayberry entertained a limited number of friends at their house, 1527 Fourteenth avenue, North, last Saturday evening in honor of Mrs. A. Sublette, of Chicago, and Miss C. Randals, of Mt. Pleasant. The guests were enjoying themselves to the very highest when about 10:30 they were very pleasantly interrupted for the purpose of being served with a very tasteful menu. The table was beautifully decorated with potted flowers. Salmon croquets with light bread and sweet pickle; cake, fruits and ices were served. After being served they returned to the parlor and proceeded with the various games and music. Those present were Mrs. A. Sublett, C. Randals, Misses E. James, A. L. Mayberry, M. D. Mayberry, G. A. Buford, M. Lee, L. Armstrong, F. E. Mayberry, Messrs. S. James, J. A. Rainey, C. W. Orr, and Mr. Lee.
