THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. WHO WILL SUGCEED PROF. COUNGILL THE ABSORBING TOPIC IN ALABAMA. Destiny of Great Institution. NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT HUNTSVILLE ONE OF THE OLDEST IN THE SOUTH MUCH SPECULATION AS TO WHO WILL BE ELECTED-SEVERAL ASPIRANTS IN THE FIELD. Huntsville, Ala. Already many aspirants are seeking the place made vacant by the death of Prof. W. H. Council, A. M., Ph. D., founder of the Agricultural and Mechanical College located just four miles from this city at Normal, which promises to be an interesting race, as more than one state is watching to see how Alabama will select a man to continue the crystallization of the Councill "Idea" of industrial education. This berth is considered to be one of the choicest positions in the entire state. It is practically certain, however, that the commissioners who will recommend the appointment of a successor, and no doubt control the appointment, will not be hasty in selecting one to take on such a great responsibility. While only four have announced, it is known that the presidential bee for Normal is buzzing under many hats. Persistent rumors are attaching to some prominent men in the state saying that they are candidates. One feature is that it is not a denominational school, while the late Prof. Councill was an African Methodist, sectarianism never entered the policy or polity of this great educational institution and hence it is no influence from religious circles can be brought to bear that would influence the selection of any particular denominational leader to fill the vacancy. It is further argued by those who have the interest and future of the school at heart that the successor, whoever he may be, will not be one that does not know something of the workings and needs of the institution, and the aim of the founder. None of the sons of the late Dr. Councill are aspirants as yet; but upon careful investigation it develops that the three now leading the race are Bishop Carey of this state, Prof. Benford and Prof. Archer. Prof. Benford, the principal of the city ford, may become an applicant, but since it is known that he has never favored the school or given any attention whatever nor has he been in harmony with the plans of Prof. Councill, although reared here in Huntsville, he is not considered a strong or acceptable man with the commission or people of the state. It is said that he would not make the sacrifice that it takes to succeed in such a position, because it is known that he resigned the principalship about a year ago of the city school when the salary was reduced to conform with the city budget or revenue, and went to Baltimore, but returned when the old salary was restored. All of this, however, is mere speculation. Prof. H. E. Archer, M. D., the vice president, is now acting as president. He does not seem to be concerned about inaugurating any campaign. It is known, however, that for the past two years he has been given absolute control. The commissioners from the state have trusted him implicitly. He seems to have imbibed the spirit and ideas of the late president and thus he has carried them out without a failure in any instance. It is logically supposed that of the two Prof. Archer's appointment or election is almost certain. Nothing definite could be learned, as the matter has not been given consideration. The school is progressing and, although it mourns the loss of such a great man, continues to advance, every department moving with clock-work regularity. No movement that points to the election of a successor will be made during the present school term. If anything is done it will be during the vacation. This is all that can be seen and observed from a distance by those watch- NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1909 ing the movement on the educational checkerboard of this country. PROF. KEALING TO ADDRESS PEACE CONGRESS. When the second session of the National Peace Congress convenes in Chicago on May 3, Nashville will be ably represented by one of her leading citizens. Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor and publisher of the A. M. E. Church Review, who will address the congress on "Racial Progress Toward Universal Peace." This will be the second session of this congress and will be attended by the leading thinkers of the country. The meeting will begin on May 3, and close on the 5th. This congress is a subordinate body of the International Conference with headquarters at the Hague, which had forty-four nations represented at the last meeting. President Taft is honorary president of the national body of the United States and Judge Dickerson, Secretary of War, is president. Booker T. Washington is one of the vice-presidents. Prof. Kealing goes to represent 10,000,000 American citizens, and their case will be well cared for in his hands. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, president of the Frederick Douglass Center, has planned to entertain Prof Kealing at the Douglass Center headquarters. This is an organization of leading white people who believe in equal justice to all men. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR TRAINING SCHOOL Louisville, Ky.—It is authoritatively stated that Mrs. Maggie Walker, who is the president of the St. Luke's Bank at Richmond, Va., and who has the distinction of being the first woman president of a bank in the United States, has given $500.00 to the Woman's Training School which is located at Washington, D. C., and which was founded by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliay to the National Batist Convention. In lieu of this fact Miss Burroughs is putting forth an effort to raise $6,000. She has scheduled a national rally for the first and second Sundays in May, asking the friends to send at least $1.00 The woman's training school idea was born in the brain of Miss Burroughs. MR. AND MRS. S. T. GREGORY EN TERTAIN. On Monday evening, April 26, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Gregory, of 1115 Jackson street, entertained at supper in honor of Rev. Farrell, of Indianapolis, Ind., who is to be the pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. In the center of the dining-table was a beautiful centerpiece of battenberg and potted plants. The supper was served in four courses and consisted of baked fish with lemons, fried ham on lettuce, green peas, potato chips, salad with mayonnaise dressing, biscuit, cream, cake, cheese sandwiches, with pickle on lettuce, and black coffee. Those to partake of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory's hospitality were Rev. Farrel, of Indianapolis, Mr. John Robinson, of Fisk, Mrs. T. A. Elkins, Miss Rosa L. Brown, Mrs. J. A. Jones, Miss Orlean Patterson, Mr. Robert Williams, D. B. Barry, Sallie B. Murry and Lettie Washington. DEATH OF MR. JOHN ANDREWS At one o'clock last Sunday, at the First Baptist Church, Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., preached the funeral of Mr. John Andrews, who died after a lingering illness of several months. He came home from the North in search of health, but did not improve. The family was much grieved over his death. Quite a large crowd was present at the services. The following obituary was read: John Andrews was born in the year of 1876, November 17, and died Thursday, April 22, 1909, at 10:30 o'clock. He professed a hope in the Lord under Elder Purdy and joined the Tabernacle Church. When asked if he was a Christian his answer was always, "Yes, indeed!" and when asked if he would be ready to die if the Lord should send for him, he said, "Yes, I am perfectly ready." His favorite song was, "What a friend we have in Jesus." He sang one verse if it last Sunday evening a week ago, and when through singing he said what a grand thing it is to have Jesus for your friend. He has gone to meet his sister, Alice Andrews, who died in the year of 1900. He leaves a father, mother, two sisters and one brother to weep over the loss of their son and brother. A.M.E. CHURCHES ALL ABLAZE CELEBRATION REVIEW TWENTYFIFTH ANNIVERSARY. Great Crowds Throngs to the Meetings. EXERCISES WERE STARTED SUNDAY MORNING—PLATFORM MEETING IN THE AFTERNOON —LEADING MEN OF THE CITY PARTICIPATING—HIGH PRAISE FOR PROF. KEALING. Beginning Sunday morning in the Sunday-school and continuing until Wednesday the African Methodist Churches in the city were alive with denominational fervor in the celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the A. M. E. Review, the official magazine published by the church. Extensive preparations were made by all the congregations and the exercises were on a high order. On Sunday evening a general platform meeting was held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Bishop H. B. Parks, who was programmed to act as master of ceremonies, telegraphed from Montgomery, Ala., that he was sick and would not be able to reach Nashville in time for the meeting. Prof. Kealing took charge of the meeting. He stated the object in view in calling the people together on such an occasion. He told of the conditions that brought about the Review. Said he in part: "The A. M. E. Review was not started exclusively as a church or denominational magazine, but was the outgrowth of a necessity that became apparent to the heads of the African Methodist Church as the result of an agitation started by enemies of the Negro about twenty-five years ago. The daily papers would not accept articles written by black men, and the same was true of the magazines; so arrangements were made to issue the Review. The periodical has not missed an issue during the quarter of a century, and we are here to-day to celebrate the twenty-fifth birthday. The first speaker was Rev. W. M. Flagg, pastor of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, East Nashville, who delivered the welcome address. Other speakers were Rev. Mr. Imes, Rev. C. H. Clark, A. N. Johnson, Rev. E. W. S. Hammond, Dr. T. W. Halgler, Hon. J. C. Napler, Revs. Combs, T. W. Johnson, Drs. Kumler and Henderson. The meeting closed with benediction by Rev. A. Brooks. The exercises were continued Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights with general celebrations and crowning of the queens in all the churches. On Tuesday night Prof. Kealing delivered one of his famous lectures at St. Paul, subject, "Two Times One Equals Ten." This celebration was taking place throughout the country, and in the mission fields of the Church. The rally was an effort to increase the subscription to the point that will enable the publisher to issue the magazine monthly, and Prof. Kealing when seen by a Globe representative expressed high hope of accomplishing what he desires. Reports had begun to come in from all quarters, and the indications are that the number of new subscribers asked for will be more than doubled. COUNTY SCHOOLS. Davidson County concludes one of the most successful scholastic years in its history last Friday. The long term of eight months has been featured by excellent attendance and thorough work by the competent corps of teachers employed by the board. In many places the little schoolhouse has given way to modern structures. Consolidations have taken place, strengthening the public schools, thus enabling and ensuring better and more thorough work. The interesting and instructice teachers' meetings held during the year have added to the high class of work by employing the best methods and plans of instruction. All the County and District teachers will now be looking forward to the next term. OHIOANS COMING IN A SPECIAL Delegates From the Buckeye State A message was received from Columbus, Ohio, Monday at Sunday-School Congress headquarters stating that a special party out of Columbus was coming to Nashville in June. The letter came from Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas, pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church of that city, and informs the Secretary that Rev. Thomas will have not less than twenty-five Ohioans in a special car when it reaches Cincinnati, regardless of the rate announced by the Central Passenger Association. It is learned that Rev. Thomas is also president of the local committee on entertainment which is preparing for the National Convention which will convene in that city in the month of September. Those interested in the movement of the delegation from Columbus said Doctor Thomas in his letter, are Rev.W. L. Burr, D. D., treasurer; Rev. A. D. Chandler, D. D., corresponding secretary; Rev. J. L. E. Burr, B. S. L., associated with such other men as Jas Watson, Richard Wells, W. A. Burch, Dallas Clay, Joseph Horn, A. D. Webb, J. B. Ridgway, Rev. J. W. W. Brown and Messrs. Morris and Brown. If Dr. Thomas succeeds in carrying out his plans it is probable that he will wait at Columbus for the Pittsburg representation, which will include those coming from Buffalo, N. Y., Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, joining the Springfield people at Springfield then consolidating the delegations at Cincinnati, which will possibly force the railroad companies to put on more than one special car as they will pick up the Louisville people. It will put them in Nashville early on the morning of June 9th Two of the pastors in Cincinnati, in the persons of Rev. Chas, H. D. Lass and Rev. J. Franklin Walker, are expected to join this party with their friends and also come along with the other Ohio delegates from Cincinnati STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN THIS CITY. Some weeks ago the Executive Convention of the State Medical Association of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists met in this city to select the place and time of the next meeting. This city was selected for the place and June 10th and 11th, 1909, the time. The program is now in the process of construction. Many of those foremost in these professions in the State will be in attendance. This organization was formed in our State Capitol in 1903 and held its first annual meeting in the beautiful city of Columbia in June, 1904. This session was attended by about thirty of the most progressive members of these professions. Then followed the 1905 meeting at Pulaski, Tenn. Owing to misunderstandings as to dates the 1906 meeting at Mt. Pleasant was not well attended. In 1907 new life was injected into the organization and the Bluff City Medical Association invited the State organization to meet in Memphis as their guest. The Memphis meeting was better attended than any of the former. Clarksville entertained the 1908 meeting and this year the 1909 meeting, at the urgent invitation of the Rock City Medical Academy, comes to Nashville. The hospitality of the citizens of Nashville and the standard set by the professions here justify the anticipation of the best meeting in the history of the Association. The leaders of these professions of the State will be here and many complex and most vexed questions in medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy will be thoroughly discussed. The local committee has the matter well in hand and nothing will be wanting to insure profit and pleasure to those who attend this meeting. BOSTON WILL CELEBRATE. In a recent issue of the Boston Herald it is noticed that a movement has been launched to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the pilgrims. This will be observed in the form of a Tercentennial Exposition which is being agitated to take place during the year 1920, and Boston is selected as the place proper and appropriate for this exposition. In case the matter assumes definite proportions, it will be the first international exposition ever held in New England. Tennessee will doubtless recall the splendid aid given to the Centennial held in this city in 1897 by Massachusetts, and will, no doubt, return the compliment by aiding and helping to agitate the proposed movement. No.17. NEGRO BOYS' HAVE A FRIEND GAMPAIGN BEING PLANNED IN NASHVILLE. Strong Arm of Protection Outstretched. YOUTHHOOD TO RECEIVE CAREFUL ATTENTION—$25,000 TO BE RAISED BY THE NEGROES OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY—MAGNIFICENT BUILDING TO BE ERECTED. There is going to be some active and successful campaigning in and about the city of Nashville and Davidson County within the next few weeks, caused by the effort that will be put forth to raise twenty-five thousand dollars to purchase a lot and erect a building for Negro Boys. As Nashville seems now to be permanently settled upon this course it is not merely a matter of speculation. Some of the best known citizens have fully decided that they will lend their efforts towards this movement. Men have fathered ideas that were far less important than this one, and attained success. Hence the citizens, who have decided to push the cause of the Negro youths, begin with the satisfaction of knowing that they will build in Nashville a place worthy of the name and the cause. Old men have expressed themselves as being in hearty accord with the movement This week it was learned that from a small group of men, the amount of six hundred dollars was easily raised by subscription. At this rate and with such efforts the twenty-five thousand dollars could be forthcoming. There are men in this city who will give anywhere from one to five hundred dollars to such a cause and feel that they have not given to a bad one. Some Nashville men have given more to a less worthy one. As far as could be learned at this time, a committee will be appointed, consisting of not more than ten persons, assisted by sub-committees, to make a thorough canvass of the city, soliciting and accepting pledges in sums arranging from five dollars up. A mathematical problem proves that two hundred and fifty Negroes in Nashville could, by themselves, subscribe for and pay in this twenty-five thousand dollars to supply this much-needed building and grounds. If they would only subscribe one hundred dollars each, paying twenty-five dollars of it down and the remaining seventy-five dollars within nine months, Nashville would have a magnificent Negro boy's building that would do honor to any city, regardless of the section of country in which it is located. The leader of the movement, as indicated last week is no doubt as sanguine of success as he ever was. He has supporters who are willing to help him in this laudable cause of saving the boys. LILAC CLUB. The Lilac Embroidery Club met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cannon, 1406 Phillips street, Monday, April 26, 1909, at 3 p. m. The dining-room was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers. After one hour's work an elegant three-course menu was served. Mrs. Cannon was assisted in receiving her guests by Mrs. Johnson. The club guests were Masters L. H. Moore, Earl Johnson and Emma Shane. Members present were Mesdames P. A. Washington, L. E. Moore, J. L. Watkins, Matt Johnson, John Jennings, Marchell Williams, J. W. Lee, C. H. Claud, Wm. Cannon, Robt. Douglass. The club will meet with Mrs. L. E. Moore, 1000 Vernon avenue, Monday, May 3, 1909, at 3 p. m. Y.M.C.A. There will be a meeting for men only at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Eighth avenue and Gay street, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Emma Young, who spent two weeks in Chapel Hill, has returned to the city. SPORT. Mr. John White, manager of the Standard Giants and Mr, Serk Smith manager of the Nashville Collegians, are both out with their teams each evening and are taking the boys throvgh a good stiff workout. Mr. Smith will open the season here with the strong Birmingham Giants and says with any kind of a break in the luck he will give the Ironmakers a game that they will not soon forget. His men are fast and strong and from the manner in which they move about it seems to be a mighty strong team. He is mixing the young blood with a few old heads and the results are compelled to be good, The first games will be played Thursday and Friday at Athletic Park, and a large crowd is expected. Mr, White also has some hard games ahead—open- ing his season Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 3, 4 and 5, with the Chattanooga team. Every one knows what the Lookout boys can do, and Manager Wright says his team, this season, is the strongest he has ever turned out, and that they are in mid season form. The Standard Giants are very strong this season, having the most of their old players with them and some new faces that are ball players of the first waters, The old reliable Daddy Hurt, Watkins and Jordan King will be on the job and that means a good game, ‘The Negro ball player is greatly in demand. The day of the rough and tough ball player has passed. The player that drinks and keeps late hours is passing and jeople want to see only good clean sport and will only support that kind. Up to the early 908 there was only one first- class Negro team, but now the South, East and West are full of good teams that play all season and are making a success of it. Nashville is no ex- ception to the rule and this season will bring about revelations in base- ball that will startle the most pessi- mistic mind. With good teams and can ball the public is coming out to see. Baseball is now a profession and when a man has developed into a a good, first-class ball player he has a profession in which the money is not small. When he combines this with moderate habits and good living, he is greatly in demaud. eee Before a large crowd on Monday, April 26, the Stancard Furniture Line defeated the Baytist Hill Swifts in their first game of the season.

That Roger Williams University has always been an object of pride to the citizens of Nashville goes without saying. In Nashville she has had and still has sympathizers and well-wishers. This sympathy is now increased from a realization of the misfortunes that have come to her, and the unintiring struggles she has undergone and is still undergoing in an effort to be re-established. What Roger Williams is to Nashville as an institution, the part she plays in the moral, social and intellectual uplift of our people in Nashville is inestimable. The citizens of Nashville, therefore, cannot nor will allow the work that has been begun there to stop. The Board of Trustees have done their work so far wisely and well. All the money on hand has been spent and unless the citizens of Nashville come to our rescue with $1,000 by May 30th, the work must stop. The Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University, through their educational Secretary, are now making an appeal to the citizens of Nashville for help. They have erected on the campus of Roger Williams University a four-story brick dormitory for the girls, already costing $10,000. The building is not complete, but the walls are up and the top is on. They have been aided in the work by the Baptist Home Mission Society donating to us $2,500 for every $1,000 that we raised. Now they must have at least $1,000 by the 30th of May in order to keep the work in progress and they are now making their first appeal to Nashville for help. To this end a committee of twenty persons has been appointed to solicit subscriptions and collect money. We fell confident that Nashville will sustain her reputation and show her interest to Roger Williams by assistin the Board of Trustees and Educational Secretary and this Committee to raise the amount asked for. Let every one contribute to this necessary effort as God hath prospered him. A. M. TOWNSEND, G. H. BANDY R. L. MAYFIELD. By John B. Poindexter. R. L. Mayfield, the subject of this sketch, was born in Nashville, Tenn. At a very early age his mother died leaving him and his father who lived together. His father working while he went to school. Mr. Mayfield's early educational training was obtained in Powers Seminary now Knowles School of the city of Nashville. Having gone through what was then a district school, Powers Seminary, he entered Fisk and graduated from that institution in 1895. In the spring of 1895, Mr. Mayfield took the examination for a teacher in the city schools of Nashville and of the forty-five applicants who took the examination at that time, Mr. Mayfield was the only one that made the required average. In the fall of 1895, he began teaching in the city schools of Nashville and taught until the spring of 1897, when he and C. O. Hadley formed a partnership and ran the Watauga Cafe during the Tennessee Centennial. The style of the firm was Mayfield-Hadley. The restaurant met with signal success. In the fall of 1897, Mr. Mayfield entered Howard [Picture of a man in a suit with a white shirt and a black tie. The background is a plain, light color with an oval frame around the portrait.] R. L. MAYFIELD. University, Washington, D. C., as a student of law, graduating from that institution with high honors in the spring of 1899, his diploma having been presented to him by President McKinley. In September 1899, he was admitted to the practice of law in Nashville which entitles him to practice law in all the courts of the State of Tennessee. Mr. Mayfield immediately forged his way to the front, and in a very short while his ability as a lawyer was felt. Mr. Mayfield, in addition to trying many cases in the court of the county, has appeared in many weighty and important cases in the Supreme Court of the State. Mr. Mayfield says that he feels more at home in the highest court of the State because the same stands more for the principles for which he strives. Mr. Mayfield has been reported several times by the Supreme of the State which is a signal honor indeed. Mr. Mayfield is reluctant to say that he was sustained in the Supreme Court of the State in four cases of five in certain cases having been tried and determined against him in lower court. Mr. Mayfield's road in law has been rocky, but being always fearless in the right he has accomplished. Mr. Mayfield believes in the saying, "Be sure you are right, then go ahead." From the final outcome of the many cases against Mr. Mayfield, we are constrained to claim Mr. Mayfield was right. Mr. Mayfield, since being in the practice of law, has made a special study of the conditions as they exist in the South; and is a believer that the more nearly even-handed justice is administered in the courts, the more amiable will be the conditions of the races. Mr. Mayfield has delivered lectures in various cities of the United States, notably Boston and Springfield, Mass; New Haven, Conn., and Des Moines, Iowa. In all of which places his utterances were well received. It is reported that when Mr. Mayfield began the practice of law ten years ago, he had interest in the rental of one desk in which himself and two others used in one room, and each night as he went home, he was moved in so far as his office supplies and fixtures were concerned. The first change of office represented five letters which he carried in his pocket. He recently moved to the front office of 410 1-2 Cedar street. He now has in his office more than $2,000 worth of books, together with other things necessary for the conducting of his business. Mr. Mayfield's office, consisting of rooms 1 and 2, 410 1-2 Cedar street, is a model of neatness and cleanliness; and Mr. Mayfield is well able to care for his varied practice without leaving his office for anything. Mr. V. W. Berry is Mr. Mayfield's court reporter and stenographer as well as Mr. Berry is general stenographer and reporter. Mr. Mayfield has an office girl who keeps his office faultlessly clean. One of our race can take a pessimistic view of our condition when they have seen and talked with Mr. Mayfield. WILLING WORKERS' CLUB The Willing Workers' Club, of Braden Chapel, met Monday night at the home of Mrs. Elliott, of Eighth street. Owing to inclement weather only a few were present. The next meeting will be held with Miss America Wimms, of 713 Syllan street EGG HUNT. Misses Carrie Kealing, Mary W. Merrill and Aileen Hall gave an egg hunt last Friday afternoon.

The Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., of Birmingham, Ala., Increase Capital Stock to $100,000. The meeting called for the purpose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00. The Board of Directors reported to the stockholders that a settlement had been made with them before the New Stock was to be sold. This 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.

ARPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR. On Tuesday, April 27, the general educational bill became a law over the signature of Hon. Malcolm R. Patterson, Governor of the State of Tennessee. Every Negro in our Commonwealth will receive this information with joyful heart. True we are nearly forty years behind some states in industrial and normal training of our youth, but there are advantages sometimes in being behind. State administrations have blundered in handling their institutions in one way or another. Some have been unfortunate in selecting sites, and some have secured incompetent presidents or principals, while many have had glorious success from the beginning. But however the case has been with others the administration of Tennessee is in position to profit by what they have done. We can avoid their mistakes and improve upon their successes. The thought that should be uppermost in the mind of every Negro at this time is the location of the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College in that portion of the state where it will be most convenient to all the people of the state. We should put aside every personal desire or ambition and be guided by the one purpose—the educational needs of the youth of our state. Men who have land to sell will naturally offer it to the state for school purposes, and no doubt, many of them will make flattering offers. Every county in Tennessee would be glad to have this school, but no Negro man should allow himself to forget for a moment that he owes something to his race and his state, and that it is his duty to turn a deaf ear to any offer or suggestion that does not, in his judgment, seem to be for the best interest of the people. JUST AS DEAD A local daily in referring to the lynching of a Negro in the state of Alabama described it as being conducted very quietly, and gave as the reason that the community in which the lynching took place is under prohibition rule. The man murdered is just as dead as he would have been if he had been killed in a distillery. The men composing the mob, if reports are true, were not excited in the least. Their passions were not inflamed by strong drink, and they were in a cool, calculating frame of mind when they committed the deed. Therefore, their condemnation will be the greater in the day of reckoning. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1909 PLANT BEDS. Before the day of the modern greenhouse gardeners used to have what they called "plant beds," and they have them now in remote communities where the old-time methods are still in practice. We often read of the destruction of plant beds by night riders in the tobacco districts of Kentucky and Tennessee. We are not well informed as to how the beds are made on a large tobacco plantation, but the name suggests that the old-time way is adhered to. The original plant bed was made by piling rubbish and tree limbs on a fertile spot of ground and burning them to ashes. The soil was then dug up and thoroughly mixed with the ashes. The seed were planted and the bed covered with brush to protect the plants. The mixing of soil and burnt ashes insured an abundance of plants in due season. When the time for drafting came the gardener would go to his bed and draw out the largest plants and transplant them. He would then set in to cultivate the young plants to encourage them to grow to maturity in a healthy condition. He would leave it to nature to produce the crop, but as custodian he knew that he must do his part first. So from time to time the process of preparing the plant bed, sowing the seed and transplanting the young and tender plants was carried on, and consequently he kept a constant supply of plants to set out that they might be cultivated and bring forth fruit or vegetables. The Negro press of the United States would do well to learn a lesson from the old-time gardener. Instead of spending all the time discussing any one man of the race form a "plant bed" of information and keep it full of seed, that we may have plants to set in the arena of action to grapple with the affairs of the times. But we fail to do that. Too often we get a single character before the public and we lose sight of the thousands of young, ambitious men who are clamoring for an opportunity to serve the people. We allow our supply of national characters to run down too low. IN DUE SEASON. The Negroes of Nashville should wake up and begin to look around. In a few months the municipal election will take place. Pay your own poll taxes and qualify to exercise your franchise. The time to prepare for war is when you are in harmony with your neighbor. We have been publishing from time to time portions of the New Primary Law, that our readers may be informed. It happens too often that the Negro voters of this city wait until the election is over to start to the polls. Every man ought to exercise his franchise, and the only way he can hope to do it effectively is by learning how and when to exercise it. After accumulating a fortune sufficient to induce him to retire from active business, and after Tennessee had gone dry and passed a law putting every distillery out of business, Col. Jack Daniel has decided that the boys shall not have any No. 7. He has joined the church and was last Sunday baptized in Mulberry Creek. The Colonel, it would appear, read his Bible after he got his wealth. The monument in honor of Sam Davis that was unveiled on the Capitol grounds last Thursday is a credit to Nashville and the state of Tennessee. It is not only a beautiful piece of workmanship, but a reminder of the bravery of one who took an active part in the stirring scenes of the Civil War. The baseball league, composed of teams from Fisk, Roger Williams and Walden Universities and Pearl High School, closed their first season last Saturday. They hold the record for early closing, and are entitled to a place on the winter list. Spring is on in earnest it seems. With it comes the picnic season. It is the time when men should use discretion—a picnic or a job, which? Negroes citizens of Nashville should begin to clean up in earnest, for it appears that their guests will be many this summer. It is the duty of every one to do the very best to make strangers comfortable while in our midst. GIVE THEM A PLACE TO PLAY! By Dennis A. McCarthy. Plenty of room for dives and dens (glitter and glare and sin!) Plenty of room for prison pens (gather the criminals in!), Plenty of room for jails and courts (willing enough to pay!). (willing enough to pay!). But never a place for the lads to race; no, never a place to play. Plenty of room for shops and stores (Mammon must have the best!) Plenty of room for the running sores that rot in the city's breast. Plenty of room for the lures that the hearts of our youths astray But never one cent on the play ground spent; no, never a place to play! Plenty of rooms for schools and halls, plenty of room for art; Plenty of room for teas and balls, platform, stage and mart. Proud is the city—she finds a place for many a fad today. But she's more than blind if she fails to find a place for the boys to play. Give them a chance for innocent sport, give them a chance for fun! Better a playground plot than a court and a jail when the harm is done! Give them a chance—if you stint them now, tomorrow you'll have to pay A large bill for a dorker ill, so give them a place to play:—Journal of Education, Boston. MOZART SOCIETY ANNUAL CON CERT The Mozart Society of Fisk University rendered its Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth Concerts, on the evening of April 30th, and the afternoon of May 1st. The two renditions of the occasion, Mendelssohn's 95th Psalm, and Gade's Crusaders were both very interesting. The 95th Psalm though short, is one of Mendelssohn's choice compositions; while Gade's Crusaders represent a band of noble men marching to Jerusalem to rescue the Holy City from the hand of the Moslem foe. The Society had a chorus of sixty well trained voices, and four vocalists this season. Misses Lula M. Williams and Rebecca DeGraphenried were the soprano vocalists. Mr. Roland Wilson Hayes, tenor, and Mr. Noah Walker Ryder, bass. CLOSING OF THE THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT OF WALDEN UNIVERSITY The commencement exercises of the Theological department of Walden University will be held in Thompson Chapel on the university campus Wednesday night, May 5, 1909. Dr. E. W. S. Hammond is Dean of the Theological Department and has been for quite a number of years. This department of the university, like that of the medical, dental and pharmaceutical departments, has had wonderful growth. There are three graduates this year and the exercises promise to be very attractive. Quite a number of ministers of the city will witness these exercises. More than one hundred have been enrolled since the beginning of the department and sixty have graduated with honor and are doing splendid work in the various denominations represented. MRS. ALBERT RUCKER PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Albert Rucker, of 1035 Twenty-first avenue, North, died April 24, after fourteen months of illness. Mrs. Rucker has been a resident of this city for a number of years and has lived in the same community ever since she moved to this city. Mrs. Rucker was well known throughout the city and loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Rucker was quite an industrious woman and had served in the Woodard family for several years. During her illness she did not suffer for anything. The funeral services were held at Spruce Street Baptist Church last Monday at eleven o'clock Mrs. Rucker is survived by a husband, son and a host of friends who feel that their loss is heaven's gain ALPHA OUTING. On last Saturday, April 24, the Alpha Society, of Walden University, gave its first annual outing at Greenwood Park. All nature seemed to welcome them on that day. The sun was bright and the park fresh with the green verdure of the early spring. These young people, numbering between sixty and seventy persons, including members of the Society with their invited guests, never spent a more enjoyable day, and when the hour for parting came, there was a look of regret in every eye. This outing will be an everlasting impression on the hearts of those who took A handsome prize will be given for the best waltz and two-step. All the latest stunts in dancing will be done in this contest. Refreshments will be served with great cheer, and no sorts of weather will interfere. Prof. John Montgomery and Prof. Dock Liner, Floor Managers; Prof. Charlie Moore, Pianist. ADMISSION, 25 CTS. part. What added so much to the appearance and attraction was the uniformity of costumes worn by the members of the Society. After hours of amusements in various ways, luncheon was served on the grounds. The young ladies spared no pains in making this part of the program a decided success. Each one feasted to his heart's content and arose from the banqueting table with a smile of satisfaction, which was evidence that he had been thrice blessed. The Alpha Society is a new society of Walden University, having been organized this year by the influential young ladies of the institution. It is exercising a great influence for good and the members of this society are to be complimented for the work which they are doing. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES The meeting of the Christian Workers' Foreign Missionary Society was a very interesting one. Mrs. Powells, formerly of Tuskegee, Ala., addressed the Society. Her subject, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want," was very appropriate. She spoke of the value of Christian work and the interest being manifested in different arts of the world. A good audience was present. Miss Tayma Ghee has returned from Clarksville, where she was called last Friday on account of the death of her aunt. ST. JOHN'S REVIVAL AND QUARTERLY MEETING. On Sunday night, March 28, we began a series of meetings in St. John's A. M. E. Church, which was a great success. In His name many were brought to Christ. We ran the meetings the first week without any help; the two last weeks Dr. D. A. Graham, of Chicago, Ill., was with us and rendered great service in the Master's cause. There were thirty-six bright confessions in the name of the blessed Redeemer. Fifty-six were added to the church. We closed our meeting last Friday night, April 16th, with an old-fashioned love feast. Sunday was quarterly meeting day. The Presiding Elder, Dr. T. W. Haigler, was with us all day. Dr. Sampson Brooks and the members of St. Paul Church were with us Sunday evening at 3 o'clock. Dr. Brooks preached a soul-stirring sermon on the "Death and Suffering of Christ," after which all who were present and desired took sacrament. Dr. Haigler preached a glorious sermon Sunday night as well as Sunday morning. Monday evening at 8:30 the Quarterly Conference convened. The reports showed that the members of St. John have not been asleep. Converts this quarter, thirty-six; accessions, seventy; increase of full members, thirteen; deaths, six; total members, five hundred and eighty-one; probationists, ninety-six; be received into full membership, fifty-three. Total, six hundred and seventy-seven. Moneys raised this quarter by stewards, $316.16; by Trustees, $305.52; by the Sunday-school, $36.07; by the camps, $32.00; by the Almanacs, $6.67. Total for all purposes $686.42. At the close of the quarter there came a mighty storm, not of wind, but of all kinds of good things to eat. It amounted up to $14.75. I give the members credit on my salary for the same, but they have very strongly entered their protest, and insisted that I put it down as a gift. I could not close this statement without letting you know that during this last quarter we have put in a new furnace and laid a new hardwood floor in the basement of the church. All hands will now turn their attention to raising St. John's amount of educational funds assessed for Christian education this conference year. Envelopes will be out soon. I am yours in the bond of Christ, A. BROOKS, Pastor. Residence. 923 Jackson street. BIBLE BAND. The Bible Band of St. Eli Primitive Baptist Church met Sunday evening. April 25, at 5 o'clock and read for a lesson the second chapter of Hebrews; memory verses, fifth chapter of 1 Timothy. Mrs. Abe Overton, of East Nashville, visited the Band and made a short talk. The Bible Band opens every Sunday at 5:30 o'clock p. m. GET Y Lightfoot PRIZE A Correction by Mr. G. E. Treiber. To the Nashville Globe: In your issue of April 23, giving an account of a fight occurring on the corner of Jefferson street and Eighteenth avenue, North, the article closes by saying that "another grocer in the same neighborhood had uttered the remark that he would like to line up all Negroes and blow their brains out," or words to that effect. Now I do not believe that you would do me an intentional wrong, or that you would misstate the facts in this case, and I write you so that you may correct the error in regard to the statement as concerns me. I knew nothing of the fight until it was over, knew nothing of the causes that led up to it. I have been in business in my present stand for several years and conducted my business as a gentleman should; have had no trouble with any one, extending business courtesy to one and all alike, and never uttered the remark attributed to me nor thought of any such remark; in fact, a majority of my business is carried on with colored people, and any woman or child coming to my place of business is treated with the utmost politeness and courtesy, seeing nor hearing anything that would in the least offend any one. While my name is not mentioned in the article referred to, I am the only other grocer in the immediate neighborhood and it might do me an injustice unless it was corrected. Hideousness of Treachery. To the Nashville Globe: It may be said of treachery as some bard has said of sin, "that it is of such hideous mien that to be hated needs but to be seen." Men of healthy minds, brave, manly men, are disposed to make some allowance, even though it be meagre, for the shortcomings of their fellows in most things, but for treachery, never! That is the one accursed crime in the category of crimes that brings down upon him who is guilty of it the condemnation of all courageous men. Nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies treachery. The mind in which lurks the base and sinister hallucinations of this monster is a diseased and sickly mind, one that ultimately must feel the hell of the misery it has sent forth; yes, the Nemesis of a just retribution will some day scourge home the sins of its perfidy with a whip of scorpions, so to speak, that will make the mental and physical misery it has caused but pastime to that which shall revert upon itself in obedience to the law of cause and effect or a reaping what is sown, which, virtually, is the irrevocable law of God. Strewn along the passage of human affairs there are noted examples of treachery; but noticeable is the fact that in no single instance have those who fathered any act of treachery escaped just punishment. Treachery may be likened to a two-edged sword which is more dangerous, hurful and fatal to the wielder than to the victim of the stroke. Biblical and profane history show in what utter contempt the crime of betrayal is held by almost the entire human race, Christian, heathen, barbarian or savage. Whether it is a Judas Iscariot or a Benedict Arnold, he is the same contemptible bane of the world. A word now and then along this line by the many able speakers and lecturers who are constantly before the people would not be amiss. JADECEE. DEPARTED THIS LIFE. Miss Emma Densley Raines, the loving and devoted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Raines, of White's Creek Pike, departed this life Monday morning, April 26, at 11 o'clock. She leaves a sister and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at Rev. Kiel's Church of which she was a member.

The medical board meets May 4, 1909. The Northwestern Christian Advocate of April 21, after quoting the Nashville Globe's account of the Meharry Commencement, says: "Dr. Hubbard, the veteran dean of the school, has earned high honors in the work which has grown to such fame. Apart from his sagacity and prudence, his steadfastness to high ideals of professional training and his noble concession of conspicuous gifts and attainments, such a result could never have been achieved."

FUNERAL OF MISS GEORGIA E. WATKINS. Solemn and impressive were the funeral services held over the remains of the late Miss Georgia Ella Watkins, who died at Wilson's Infirmary last Friday, April 23rd, after an illness covering several weeks, at the First Baptist Church last Sunday. It was 2:30 before the funeral procession reached the church and before Mrs. W. H. McGavock began playing the doleful funeral march that ushered in to the presence of an immense congregation the remains of this brilliant young woman. It was heart rendering to see the father brought in in a chair because of his inability to walk. The exceedingly large family and number of relatives were seated in one-half of the center tier of pews. Rev. Dr. Ellington officiated during the services. The following obituary was read by Rev. Spencer Jackson, pastor of the St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, who also assisted in the services: Geogia Ella Watkins departed this life Friday morning, April 23, '09, at 7:30 o'clock. She was born April 2, 1880. Age 29 years, 21 days. She professed a hope in Christ, Saturday, April 17, 1909. She was very happily converted. She said that God had certainly spoken peace to her soul and there was not a shadow between her and her God. She was perfectly reconciled to her death and made her own arrangements for her funeral and chose for her text —— "We shall walk though the valley and the shadow of death." By this text she she expressed her faith and confidence in God's power to pilot her safely through this valley and shadow of death to the haven of rest. She called the family around her bedside and bade them all good-bye, and said that she was going to heaven. For 10 years she was book-keeper for Taylor & Co., Undertaking Establishment. She was a faithful and efficient book-keeper ever present at her post of duty. To her parents and family she was very devoted, serving them in every capacity she could. She was an energetic young woman, never tiring in her efforts to perform her duties. She was of a genial and sunny disposition thereby winning for herself a host of friends. She endured her illness with patience and fortitude, speaking all the time of going to heaven and leaning ever on God's strong arm. She attended the public schools of Nashville and graduated from the High School in the class of 1898. She was also furnished a business course in stenography at Walden University. She leaves a father and mother, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends. Our loss is heaven's eternal gain. Her request was for Rev. Preston Taylor to assist in preaching her funeral, and the family requested Rev. Jackson and Elder Denny to assist. "Jerusalem, the Golden," was rendered by the choir, and Rev. Jackson read the Scripture. Prayer was offered by Rev. Fipps. Mr. Preston Taylor in a most sympathetic manner sang the favorite song of the deceased; "Save by Grace." Rev. Ellington then preached, taking his text from the fourth verse of the 23rd chapter of the Psalms: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." The passage of Scripture was selected by the deceased. Dr. Ellington preached a very impressive sermon. He paid a glowing tribute to the departed, going step by step over the life and accomplishments, which was conclusive that her life had been useful both at home and in the business world, fitting herself in the best educational institutions of the city, filling her chosen profession for more than ten years in the employment of Taylor & Company as a competent bookkeeper and accountant. Miss Esther Pinkard, in behalf of the H. T. G. M. Club, of which the deceased was a member read the following resolutions: Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to send within our circle an unbidden and mysterious guest, who has stolen one of our number to dwell with angelic hosts above; therefore, be it Resolved. That we, the members of the H. T. G. M. Club, bow with humble hearts to the will of our Omnipotent Father, who giveth and hath taken away, yet we no less mourn her loss and we shall miss her congenial companionship, sunny disposition, her true and noble-heartedness, and her unswerving devotion to whatever duty that was assigned her. We shall cherish her memory always. We shall miss the light of her countenance, and the memory of her voice shall be as the ceasing of exquisite music. Resolved. That this, the first link of our chain that has been broken and that has spanned the distance between us and the beyond, shall not only wound our hearts, but shall open our eyes to the great plan of which we are a part, and that sooner or later we shall each stand and every one join the one that stands on the other A Special Showing in all the latest and most up-to-date styles and leather of Ladies' Ankle Strap Pumps, and Men's and Boys' Oxfords.

We shall do more to make this world brighter and better and to inspire each other to lives of unselfish devotion to the cause of righteousness and to greater service in all the walks of life. Resolved, That just as we did when last we met in the home of the deceased and were so charmingly entertained in the form of "New Year's Resolutions," "Turning over a new leaf," as she termed it, when we each and every one with her, who was unconscious of the shadow of death which was so soon to envelop her; rejoicing in health and in the joy of living, looking forward with unshaken confidence to the future, seeing naught but success and happiness; each and every one, resolved to live in more perfect union and with greater devotion to our club, more love for each other, more sympathy for each one in her sorrows or misfortunes. We here again in the presence of death, before the form that has been locked up in inexplicable mystery, solved only by our hope and the faith which she has so beautifully glorified, do again pledge and resolve to be more in unison, to think more on the things which really count And when the Almighty One shall again come among us to take his own, we shall "Mount up with eagle's wings," and that "When on earth we fade and perish we shall 'Lossom in that heaven above us.' Be it further Resolved, That the club tender it's heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives, whose grief no words can assuage, whose wounds no balm can heal and whose loss no gain can compensate. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, a copy to the Nashville Globe and that they be recorded in the Club Journal. "Safe above the water's swirl, She has crossed the bar; Earth has lost a precious pearl, Heaven has gained a star." —Dunbar. The same club furnished flower bearers in the person of Misses L. E. Badger, Lillian Bright, Esther Pinkard, Emma Owens, Fannie and Lillian Banks, Bessie Martin and Mrs. H. A. Boyd. The floral designs were numerous among which was a broken wheel, from the H. T. G. M. Club, with one spoke gone and the letters of the club in gold on the design, gates ajar, a massive cross and many others. Miss Watkins was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Watkins, of 1505 Kayne avenue, (Twelfth Avenue, South) and is the second of the family to pass away within six months. MISS WILLIAMS LAID TO REST. Miss Alberta Williams was buried Sunday in the Mt. Ararat Cemetery. The bereaved parents mourn the loss of this dear child. The vacancy in that home will cause an aching void for many a day as her place cannot be filled. Her voice will not be heard again. She will not sing hymns of praise as was her custom in the house. The deceased was an attentive member of the Second Baptist Church as well as an officer of the B. Y. P. U. and a member of the Sunschol and mission workers. The funeral was preached by Rev. G. B. Taylor. 5 A HIGH TRIBUTE TO MADAM BROWN BY PROF. J. W. WORK, OF FISK UNIVERSITY The coming of Madam A. Patti Brown was of unusual interest to the music lovers of Nashville because of the fact that it has been a long time since singers of her type and that of Madam Hackley have visited us. In the distant past Madams Salika, Flora Batson-Bergen and Sisseretta Jones, among the best singers our race has produced, used to come to us, fill our large churches and delight us all. But somehow these visitations have ceased, probably because Nashville has become self-sufficient in this line and hence has not enthused much over strangers. At Walden and Fisk there have been produced so many really good singers and so many first-class renditions of high-class music that it has been rather difficult for visiting musicians to get a hearing. But Madame Brown did get a hearing and was assuredly complimented by the large audiences that greeted her. Her first success in gaining a large audience at St. Paul A. M. E. Church was certainly due to Mr. Evans Tyree, Jr., who managed her local campaign, but her successes at Jackson Temple and Spruce Street Baptist Church were just as certainly due to her own singing and her own self. After she sang her first concert, although under adverse circumstances, her audience was satisfied that she was an artist of high rank, and was so satisfied with her that they sang her praises over the city. Consequently Jackson Temple was filled, as well as Spruce Street Church. As to Madam Brown herself, she is of such pleasing appearance and winning grace that even if she could not sing quite so well, she would still be acceptable to almost any audience. She has just enough vivacity to keep her from being stiff, and it is plain that she gives herself fully to her art. As to her singing, there are several things to say. In her coloratura songs and arias she shows that she has worked and studied hard to gain the mastery of her technique, which is indeed good. The flexibility of her voice is remarkable and her control is quite out of the ordinary—she shows off her voice best in her smooth and even trills. This character of work, however, gives a kind of intellectual satisfaction, but the truth is, it does not reach the emotions, and after all the song that reaches the heart is the song that has been best sung. Madame Brown is not at her best in this class of music, although in it she ranks high. Her strongest point is her singing of those soulful, tuneful songs, sprung from some composer's heart and not his head, and which she ca nso unerringly send straight to the hearts of her audience. Then, her voice grows smoother, fuller and more melodious. The quality of her voice, differs in different registers. Her middle tones are by far the purest and most pleasing. Her high tones in some places lack a little more paint, which same statement can be made of her lower notes. She selects her songs with good judgment, wherein lies her success with her audiences. Compared with those who are considered our best sopranos she ranks well, and since she is young and still studying, she is certain to rank much higher. Mr. George Clark, son of Rev. and Mrs. C. H. Clark, has returned to the city from Canton, Ky. OR DIABOLISM AND DESTINY. A THRILLING ROMANCE OF REAL RACE LIFE. BY J. W. GRANT. Full of stirring scenes and lively incidents.
