THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. GREAT YOUNG PEO- PLE'S MEETING ARMY OF SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS COMING. Nashville Will Be Crowded to Overflowing. NATIONAL BAPTIST SUNDAY- SCHOOL CONGRESS AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHAUTAUQUA WILL ASSEMBLE EARLY IN JUNE— MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH THE SEAT OF CONFERENCE — REPRESENTATIVES EXPECTED FROM EVERY SECTION OF THE COUNTRY — COMING FIVE THOUSAND STRONG—MANY OF THE LEADING SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS OF THE WORLD TO PARTICIPATE. Only a few weeks remain until the coming of the National Baptist Sunday-school Congress and Young People's Chautauqua, which will be held in this city on the 9th day of June. We are expecting one thousand delegates to attend, and considering the importance of the occasion, it is quite a small number to ask for, or to expect. If the Sunday schools and Young People's Societies throughout the country have representation in this meeting commensurate with their numerical strength, we will have five times the number of delegates that we have called for. We have urged from time to time the importance of all Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. workers, who desire to familiarize themselves with up-to-date methods of instructing young people and conducting the work among them, availing themselves of the opportunity to attend and receive the benefits arising out of their affiliation with this movement. We have been delighted to insist that the meetings are educational, that during its sessions, there is no scramble for position, no attempt to display knowledge of parliamentary law, or to appropriate lengthy arguments, in which the combatants in debate are afforded the special opportunity of demonstrating the amount of wisdom which they possess. The meeting has higher purpose than this. It is intended to edify, to instruct and to impart new life and vigor to thousands of young people who are working for the uplift of the students and religious workers entrusted to their care. While the meetings are in the nature of a recreation, they are also little schools of learning, in which the students of religious thought and missionary endeavor acquire information which is of the greatest possible benefit to them in the prosecution of their work. The times demand the organization and perpetuity of a large number of institutions of this kind among our people. We trust that our efforts to commit workers in the auxiliary circles in our denomination to schools of instruction like unto this will not be in vain; but that on the contrary, they will cultivate a great love for work of this kind. We have emphasized the fact that this is a day when specialists are in demand, a day when people delight to be taught all that pertains to an educational scheme, by people who have given special time and attention to the particular branch or subject with which they as teachers are to deal. As we have no chairs of Sunday-school pedagogy in any of our institutions of learning, it is highly important that we improve such opportunities as are given to us by means of Institutes and Chautauquas which we may be permitted to attend. We shall still look forward to the coming of a great number of delegates to this meeting, on the 9th day of June, and we are not willing to believe until actual demonstration of that fact has been made, that we will be disappointed.—National Baptist Union.

The State Medical Association will hold its annual meeting in this city on the 10th and 11th of June. Prominent physicians from all parts of the state of Tennessee will participate. The object of this meeting is to promote the general interest of the medical profession, and to place it on a higher scientific basis. This body will represent a company of highly educated and profound thinkers, who have carefully studied the needs and demands of the race from a medical, educational and an industrial standpoint. Untiring efforts are being put forth to accomplish these ends. The Negro is slowly but surely awaking from his lethargy, and is realizing the need, the value and the confidence of the well-prepared physicians of his own race. In order to demonstrate their proficiency and thus bring about a reconciliation and an established confidence between Negro patients and Negro physicians, the doctors throughout the state are making original, scientific research and persistent study in all branches of the medical profession and the results of such work will be demonstrated to the public at these meetings by able men from all quarters. The Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery in Nashville is making strenuous efforts to entertain this noble body of visitors, and to make the association a success. Orations and discussions on medical points will be rendered in such a manner that the public at large, will comprehend and enjoy them. Music, both vocal and instrumental, will be included in the program. The physicians of Nashville earnestly solicit the presence of the entire public. It is hoped that the results of this meeting will be farreaching and that a union of physicians and the race at large will be unprecedented. The crowning feature of the convention will be a banquet, tendered in honor of visiting queet tendered in honor of visiting guests and physicians. A signal victory is anticipated. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. There will be a long list of distinguished visitors in this city early next month. They will come from every walk of life and hence will be receiving quite a deal of attention. Among the latest announcements at the Congress headquarters was the slating of Bishop Geo. W. Clinton, A. M., D. D., of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church with headquarters at Charlotte, N. C. This distinguished prelate will come to deliver a special address, the subject of which will be "Shall We Save the Ecys or Reform the Men, Which Is Easier or Better?" Important as the meeting is and as much interest as it is creating there is yet being crowded on the program scores of distinguished Christian workers who are sending in their parts and addresses daily to take part in what will prove to be the greatest religious gathering of young people ever assembled in the United States. Bishop Clinton is not only a leader in his church work, but is fast looming up as a literary light. He is the author of a book that is creating no little attention among the book folks and in the literary world. MR. TYBEE AT SHELBYVILLE MR. TYREE AT SHELBYVILLE. Mr. Evans Tyree, Jr., of this city, a son of Bishop Tyree, recently delivered an excellent lecture and rendered very acceptably selections from Paul Laurence Dunbar and Bryant's "Black Smiles," at Turner Normal Theological Institute at Shelbyville. Mr. Tyree is a fine entertainer. He was a member of the famous "Columbian Tennesseans," a troupe of acknowledged ability that visited the large Western cities last year and received merited applause from crowded audiences at every entertainment. ANOTHER VISIT TO NASHVILLE. Information has just been received from the headquarters of the National Negro Business League to the effect that Mr. Chas, H. Moore, of Greensboro, N. C., the National Organizer who was here several weeks ago in the interest of and for the purpose of reviving the local business leagues, will return to Nashville about May 10 to continue his activities along this line. Mr. Moore is pushing the organization of leagues with much success. It is understood that Nashville will lead off in helping to form a state league. If so, Mr. Moore's work in the state will be helpful to that extent. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1909. PEACE GONGRESS MEETS IN CHIGAGO Discusses Subject Vital to American People. "RACIAL PROGRESS TOWARD UNIVERSAL PEACE"—SHOWS HOW HARMONY AMONG WHITES AND BLACKS MAY BE BROUGHT ABOUT IN THIS COUNTRY—POINTS OUT FACTS THAT SUBSTANTIATE HIS ARGUMENTS—NEGRO NOT A BURDEN TO THE SOUTH—PAYS MORE FOR EDUCATION THAN HE RECEIVES—FIGURES PRODUCED GATHERED BY SOUTHERN WHITE MAN. No greater wonder has happened on earth than the conquests of peace sentiment during the last century. It has ridden over jousting war-lords till, extricating themselves from their Don Quixotic misfortunes, they have come ambling in on war-horses turned to palefreys; it has sent battle-ships, like merchant-men, to carry grain to the famished of sister nations; it has set sanguinary soldiery to pitching hospital tents for the plaguestricken; it has lifted the red cross above the red field and made litters of crossed muskets; it has made conquering generals refuse a Caesarian triumph, and cry from the highest civic seat, "Let us have peace!" But no glory has been greater than the reflex influence this international movement has exerted in abating race and class hate among the factions and sections of a common country. We find our situation as to the Negro race element caused by the initial inconsistency of engrafting slavery upon free institutions, and of framing a constitution recognizing human servitude in the face of a declaration that all men are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The way out is by retracing our steps, and this we have begun indeed, we have gone a long way on the backward track already and are now ready to start right once more. By general education and the doctrine of human brotherhood, we shall arrive. Laggards there may be and reluctant travelers in the way, but our guides are true and the lettering is plain: "This way out." Is there any evidence, you ask, that an awakened conscience is making for racial peace? I think so. It was the sense of our inconsistency in founding a land of liberty and then binding millions to slavery in it that brought emancipation; it was the standing rebuke of our Declaration of Independence to the prevailing thought that some men had no rights that others were bound to respect, that enacted laws respecting those rights. In our own day we see the workings of the world's conscience in many ways; The Congo Free State atrocities are everywhere denounced; there is a growing boldness in denouncing internal lawlessness in any country; a greater willingness to educate the underman; a stronger disposition to administer laws in their true spirit of impartiality. It is to be seen in our gratuitous chaperoning of Cuba; our friendly guidance of the San Dominican finances; the review of the black soldiers' case in equity; the increased appropriations for both primary and secondary schools for Negroes; the acceptance by a representative Southern educator of the management of the Jeanes Fund; the co-operation of patriotic Southern men with the Southern Education Board; and in a score of other instances. Tennessee has just appropriated $20,000 for a Negro Normal and Industrial school; Kansas has given $67,000 to a college under Negro management; Alabama appropriates public funds to three Negro Normal schools. Every where are to be found men in the south to stand against the reactionaries. Mississippi has its Galloway; Louisiana, its Quincy Ewing, Georgia, its Chancellor Hill; Alabama, its Hobson; Virginia, its Mitchell. Almost faster than we can realize a respectable, rising, progressive, property-holding class of Negroes is being met with friendly hand-shakes from fair-minded and clear-speaking men of the other race who want to stand out of a struggling peoples' sunshine. I believe these men are rising in response to that growing national spirit which is a legitimate by-product of the world movement for which you stand. Almost every one of them is an advocate of international peace by arbitration. I find that the remarkable business growth of the Negro, leading to increased business contact with the white man, is bringing about closer and friendlier feelings. Not long ago, in my town, I went down to the Negro bank in which I deposit, and found this notice on the door: "Holiday: Closed by Clearing House Agreement." When before this day did the Negro ever do any thing by clearing house agreement? It is significant of the new relation. The South is spending $32,068,851 on her public schools; $4,736,375 of this is for Negro education. This is only 14.8 per cent while the Negro constitutes 49 per cetn of the total populationof the states considered—Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. In the three states of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, where complete separation in statistics exists, the following taxes paid by the Negro and the educational appropriations made to him show that he receives less than he pays: As with us, so with others. Every nation has its ethnic problems, but the extirpation of war between nations will hasten the time, by quickening the desire, for brotherhood among races. In the days to come when the old man of Russia, garbed as a peasant, and sitting by the bank waiting for the last boat, shall be crowned with laurel and olive for teaching that men should not fight; and when, of all that money has ever wrought, the temple of peace, raised in Holland by the munificence of one who has caught the long-sought secret of transmuting iron to gold and gold to true glory, shall tower above every other fane on earth, because men love each other and worship peace; and then shall sons stir uneasily as they hear the war-like deeds of their sires recited, and shall say, "They wrought in the twilight, but we in the full day." Then shall the American nation, forgetting the apostasy of barnyard struggles for prey, like a mighty Dantean eagle on lofty wings, above all the weak and defenceless of earth, drop the white plumes of peace among them and their foes. SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS. The Braden Bible Training School of Walden University is one of the great institutions of Nashville. It is not only a credit to the great University, but its past and present history shows that it has been a benediction to the churches which have been its patrons without regard to denomination. The enrollment in the Junior, Middle and Senior classes since 1902 shows a total of one hundred and twenty, including several young women, who have prepared for the Missionary, Evangelistic, and Deaconess work. Fifty-five have completed the three years course of study and are doing splendid work for the Master. Others taking the shorter courses are found in various parts of the field rendering efficient service. Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, the Dean, will conduct a Summer Correspondence Course of Study for the benefit of ministers, Sunday-school teachers and others who desire to review their studies or acquire the habit of choosing, reading and studying those books which will give them better qualifications to meet the increasing and imperative demands for thorough Christian service. The closing exercises of the Braden Bible Training School was held in the Chapel of the University on Wednesday evening, May 5. No.18. JACKSON INSTITUTION GLOSES EARLY IN JUNE.

Jackson, Tenn., May 6, 1999.—The week ending June 3 promises great things for the people of this community. It is the commencement week at Lane College. This closes the second session of this famous school under the proficient administration of President J. F. Lane, A. M., and the outlook for the institution was never brighter. President Lane is an excellent disciplinarian and administrator, and the College is being pushed to its highest point in organization and efficiency. The new $12,500 hall for girls is a beauty, and its erection marks the placing of the institution among the best-equipped schools for our people in the South. With its commencement occasions, the college will close a most prosperous school year. The attendance has been good, and the work has gone forward along all lines. In addition to the regular exercises of the students of the various departments, and the observance of class day and field day, the following well-known orators will contribute their services which will add greatly to the interest of the exercises. Rev. T. J. Moppins, D. D., presiding elder of the West Kentucky Conference, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon before the faculty, friends, students and graduating classes, Sunday morning, May 30, in the College Chapel. At night of the same day Rev. John W. Smith, A. M., pastor of Collins C. M. E. Church, Memphis, Tenn., will preach the annual sermon before the students of the Theological classes. Porf. Wm. A. Lynk, '99, principal High School Union City, Tenn., one of the most successful teachers in the state, will deliver the annual address before the members of the Alumni Association on Wednesday evening, June 2. Thursday June 3 is commencement day proper. The address before the graduating classes will be delivered by Rev. M. C. B. Mason, D. D., Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid and Educational Society, Cincinnati, Ohio. With this galaxy of talent, the occasions in connection with the closing of the College will be of intense interest. Each year friends from many places attend these exercises as they are of more than local interest. Out of the one hundred and thirty applicants for medical licenses who were being examined this week at the State Capitol by members of the State Board of Medical Examiners there were twenty-three from Meharry which is quite a record. There was one young lady in the number. STEWARDESSES ENTERTAIN. Stewardesses Board of Payne Chapel No 2, was entertained by Miss Henrietta Gee, at the home of Mrs. Sallie King, 719 Main street.

The meeting opened with song and prayer. The Club did not transact much business owing to the absence of a large number of the members. Music was the main feature of the evening. Late in the evening a two-course menu was served. The next meeting will be at the home of Miss Allie Davis, 714 Winter street. Th Cosmopolitan Club, an organization of the young ladies of Jackson Temple, was formed by the pastor, Rev. E. B. F. Amos, the first of the present year. The object of this club is to beautify the interior of the church. It holds regular weekly meetings at the different homes on Monday afternoons at 3 o'clock. The first public effort of the club was the coming of Madam Anita Patti Brown, the noted singer, who was in the city a week or so ago, and which was considered by the critical public as excellent from every viewpoint. The club hopes from time to time to bring before the public such a class of entertainments as will be enjoyed by the people. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB. The Phyllis Wheatley Club met at the home of Mrs. A. L. Caruthers, 1044 Edgehill avenue, on Thursday evening, April 29. The meeting was opened with song and prayer by Mrs. Hollins, and then all were ready for business. Quite a delightful afternoon was spent. Miss Sophia Jackson entertained the club for a few minutes by reading a very interesting poem. All were proud to witness the presence of Mrs. Bishop Tyree. Aft er the routine of business was over a dainty ice-course was served. The Heliotrope Circle met at the home of Mrs. A. J. Ransom, of South Kayne avenue, Tuesday afternoon, April 27th. Short and appropriate talks were made by several visitors. As there were no literary numbers the circle devoted most of the time to art. After the regular business, the hostess served a very elaborate three-course menu. She used as her color scheme pink and green. These colors were well carried out, both in the menu and decorations, being very artistically arranged. The visitors were Mesdames T. H. Rhodes, E. W. S. Hammond, A. B. Morris and Gray. The next meeting will be with Mrs E. D. Richmond, 1625 Phillip street Tuesday, May 11th. --- --- 2 403 CHURCH ST. ROSE BUD CLUB. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB HELIOTROPE CIRCLE.

A special from Chattanooga says that Susie Wiggins, an eighteen-year old girl of Chattanooga, is reported to be in a pliable condition through her effort to change her skin to white. She answered an advertisement which read: "Negroes made white; send no money. I will gladly tell my colored sisters how I became as white as snow." The reply to Miss Wiggins was that all she had to do was to use a $5 bottle of a certain compound and her complexion would change at once to a fine pearly white. She bought the compound and bathed her face with the liquid and as a result is blind for life and will live but a short time, it is feared. NASHVILLE GETS SERVICE. NASHVILLE GETS SERVICE. According to a statement made at the local post-office, Postmaster Wills has secured authority for the clerks on Nashville & St. Louis train No. 95 to make separation or distribution of all mail for Nashville, Tenn. Train No. 95, reaching Nashville from St. Louis at 12:17 p. m., brings with it seventy-five per cent. of the Chicago mail, and an immense mail as well from St. Louis and intermediate points. The Chicago mail train, reaching here at 8 o'clock in the morning, has but little mail comparatively from Chicago, for the reason that this train leaves Chicago at 6 p. m., while the train No. 95 leaves Chicago about 10 p. m., and all of the mail of the day in Chicago is collected before that hour, hence it was very important that the distribution of the mail should be made on the train, so that immediately upon the arrival of the train at Nashville the delivery can be made throughout the city. WONDERFUL INCREASE IN BANKING BUSINESS. 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. 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. Directors. W. R.

There is general rejoicing over the fact that some hope is now entertained for the Black Republic of the East. The following is sent out by the Associated Press: Washington, May 4.—With all the members of the United States Liberian Commission and attaches aboard the scout cruiser Chester sailed from St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, today for Monrovia, Liberia. Owing to some defects in her boilers the scout cruiser Birmingham, which carried the three commissioners from New York to St. Vincent, did not accompany the Chester, but will remain in port and make repairs. It is expected these will require until May 10 to complete. Then the Birmingham will proceed to Monrovia and rejoin the Chester. The Chester should reach Monrovia next Friday. One of this commission is Emmet J. Scott who is well known in Nashville. MERCY HOSPITAL NOTES. All of the operations during the past two months have been highly successful. Most of the cases came from out towns. Mrs. Davis and Miss Buchanan, both of Shelbyville, are now able to return home and will do so in a few days. Rev. J. C.

Jacksonville, Fla., May 6. It develops to-day that since the agitation of the proposed constitutional amendment to disfranchise the Negro voters of Florida some of the whites in various parts of the states seem to be taking the law in their own hands. This is especially true in the elections being held throughout the state this week. The following was received here by Associated Press Wednesday: Tallahassee, Fla., May 4.—Yesterday Gov. Gilchrist received telegrams from two citizens of Columbia County advising him that registered Negro voters were being prevented from voting in a local election being held in that county yesterday through threats of violence. Gov. Gilchrist wired Sheriff Nance of Columbia County as follows: "Advised mob, by threats, refused to permit qualified Negroes to poll their votes in MILARY E. HOWSE. 304-306 BROADWAY. P. M.

The usual report of .churches was made after the roll call which according to Dr. Townsend's new order those present answered with Bible quotations. The reports of revivals were encouraging in every respect. PEONAGE CASE. The case of one W. S. Harlan, general manager of a lumber company operating in Alabama, which came up to the United States Supreme Court on appeal from the Federal District Court of Northern Florida, where he was convicted of peonage, sentenced to one year's imprisonment and fined $5,000 was confirmed.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. In Memory of Miss Emma Densley Raines. By John R. Robinson. When violets bloom, and crooning Soth winds sigh, Full-weighted with sweet mem'ries fond and fair, I think of one asleep beneath the sky, Hands folded, free of earthly pain or care. Of one who loved the tender violet's face, And hoped to find it in God's far, fair land, When she should sail some time of God's good grace For that strange port upon a distant strand. I watched her at that time of sailing go, The purple blossoms nodding in her hair; For "Dear, I shall not be afraid, you know," She whispered, "if I find my violet there." And so in springtime when the violets bloom. And all the air is laden with their sweet. Fond memory comes to sit beside her tomb and lay her fragrant offering at feet. RESOLUTION IN MEMORY OF MISS SARA H. LEEK. Whereas, The Almighty God in his wise providence has seen fit to take from our midst Miss Sara H. Leek, who was a member of Brook's Chapel M. E. Church, and. Whereas, Miss Leek by her devotion to duties as a member and womanly deportment from time to time, and by her Christian charity, won the admiration of her friends, and the love of all with whom she came in contact; and. Whereas, We, the members and friends, realize our great loss and feel that such a loss to us cannot be atoned for; therefore be it. Resolved, That we think of her only as having gone to receive that reward the hope of which the Master shall pronounce upon all those who love and serve Him, saying, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Be it also Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and our united prayers that the comfort of the peace of God be with them as a source of solace and strength and unfailing spring of holy joy. DON'T STOP PRAYING. Don't stop praying! the Lord is nigh, Don't stop praying! He'll hear your cry; God has promised, and He is true: Don't stop praying! He" answer you. Don't stop praying for ev'ry need, Don't stop praying! the Lord will heard. Don't stop praying when led to sin, Don't stop praying that good may win; Christ was tempted and understands: Don't stop praying! He'll hold your hands. Don't stop praying when bow'd with grief; Don't stop praying! you'll get relief; Troubles never escape God's sight: Don't stop praying! He'll make it right. Don't stop praying but have more trust; Don't stop praying: God answers prayer. The above is the text of the women's rally next Sunday all over the country in an effort to raise $6,000 for the Baptist Training School located at Washington, D. C. MORE MONEY FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.

MADE GOOD—OUR CLAIM SHOWS TO BE TRUE. We can show by actual count from our subscription books and mailing list, that with other evidence that is conclusive, that the Nashville Globe is read by sixty per cent of the reading people out of the 35,000 Negroes in Greater Nashville. We are now going to make an effort to have the other 40 per cent take the Globe. We can send it to you 3 months for 40 cents; six months for 80 cents. The subscription price for twelve months is $1.50. We want to invite every citizen in Nashville to call at our office at 447 Fourth avenue, North, and leave a subscription for one year, six months or three months.

NEW INTERURBAN ROAD. At last the interurban line from Nashville to Franklin, Tenn., is completed, and cars are being operated daily. This is another adjunct to the comfort and convenience of the people of Nashville and the country between this city and Franklin. A word to the Negroes at this time would not be amiss. This car line is for the benefit of the people, to be used when the fare charged for a ride is paid. This does not mean, however, that everybody is to lay off from their work three days in each week to ride on the new cars. The men who built the road were convinced before doing so that the rapid increase in the business of Nashville, Franklin and intermediate points justified the investment, but if the wheels of progress are to be clogged for need of help the money spent to build the new road will profit nothing. It will be the better policy to spend money riding on the cars only when necessary. We call attention to car riding because it is fresh in the minds of the people, and because we as a race are so quick to abuse the privileges granted by public carriers. The Peace Congress that met in Chicago this week put itself on record as unequivocally opposed to socialism. This new doctrine is too radical to be acceptable to sane men. A LOW ESTIMATE. The Nashville Banner takes special pains to draw comparisons between conditions in Turkey and the United States relative to lynching. It cites that the first victim to be executed after the new ruler ascended the throne was a colored man. What difference does it make whether he was red or blue if he was one of the number to be hanged there was no more dishonor in being the first than the last. We fail to see wherein it justifies lynching in this country. Again, it appears that the execution was in keeping with the customs of the country. We are informed that the people in that country expected a number of the old regime to be put to death. It seems to be their method of inaugurating the new ruler's reign. The Turks are not a Christian people, and to compare their ways with those of the United States is putting a very low estimate on our civilization. The Southwestern Christian Advocate has recently purchased a $12,000 building in New Orleans. We congratulate the editor and his corps of workers on this great achievement. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1909. USUAL RECKLESSNESS. Twelve months ago people from one end of the country to the other were preaching conservatism. We had not forgotten the effects of the panic, and the national election was near at hand. The irrepressible was in the White House, and it was always a guess what the next development would be. But the election is over now, and business has about struck a normal stride. New conditions prevail in the White House, and it appears that the gamblers in stocks, bonds and futures are determined to wreck the country or starve the wage-earners. Prices are jumping in leaps and bounds until the situation astonishes the most sanguine. The United States has tided over every crisis that has arisen in this country. She has withstood the approach of every enemy, but in her many reforms she has not as yet been able to subdue the evil of stock gambling. It is hoped that the near future will produce men with the ability and the courage to put a stop to the reckless practices by these professional gamblers who ever keep the people in a state of discontent. FIFTY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The adjournment of the Fifty-sixth General Assembly passed into history a session that was notable in more ways than one. Much good was accomplished by the members of that body, though at times factionalism ruled rather than conservatism. The appropriation bill was larger than usual, which is to be expected if the state is progressing. Of all the bills passed those that stand out preeminently are the prohibition bill, the general educational bill, and the bill authorizing primary elections. Each one of these bills is of vast importance to every citizen in the state. They all tend toward reform, and two of them, the election and educational laws, should be carefully studied. The election law authorizing primaries should receive special investigation; for every voter will be required to meet its demands. We again call the attention of our readers to the sections of this law that we are running from time to time in the columns of this paper. The educational bill, which is the most important of the three, should also be given careful investigation, for we cannot hope to have voters competent to do their duty unless they are taught the fundamental principles of citizenship. So our educational needs demand our first consideration. Every sane man, who will speak the truth, must admit that a community is better off without dramshops than with them. He may not have been effected at anytime by their existence, but he cannot fail to have seen his brother being dragged to degradation by the deceitful demon—strong drink. Negroes will be especially blessed by the operation of such a law, for the black man and the black woman have not had the protection the law provides against dens of vice, but have been allowed to stroll the streets and to congregate in dives and disgrace themselves and the community. Little Negro boys and girls are admitted to saloons and are allowed to purchase beer and whisky—they have been reared, so to speak, in the dives. The prohibition law will put an end to these practices. Men who have heretofore spent their evenings in the saloons will go to their homes and spend those hours with their wives and children. And if, perchance, they stop to spend a few minutes with some friend the surroundings, whatever they may be, cannot possibly be as detrimental as those found in every dramshop. All of the Negroes of the state were charged by some as being in favor of the saloon. This accusation is not true. Some of them were in favor of the saloon and are yet, and while thousands imbibe strong drink thousands are teetotalers. The Negroes voted in the last state election to suit themselves. They were independent then and from what can be learned it seems they intend to remain so. They muddled the political pond, it is true but the object was not to aid the whisky interests; they incidentally hapened to be in the same channel at that particular time. Independence is a wholesome thing. No better evidence can be cited to prove this than the record made by the Fifty-sixth General Assembly. They met and adjourned without passing a single act of any note against the Negro. We attribute this to the Negroes' independence in the last state election. He is no longer the tool of any special party or set of men in Tennessee but is thinking for himself. He cannot be a republican because the party does not stand for justice to all men in this commonwealth—nor a democrat—because they say in unmistaken language this is a white man's party—but an independent thinker and voter; a thorn to be pierced in the side of the party that tries to make of him a means to an end. The Assembly was unique in that it was neither democratic nor republican. Members elected as democrats pooled with republicans to accomplish certain things, and helped to pass bills over the veto of a democratic governor. Therefore, they will have to be called a body unknown to themselves, but doers of things numerous, great and small. Ex-President Roosevelt is sustaining his reputation in Africa as a huntsman. The members of his party who were saved from the attack of a ferocious lion by his true marksmanship are no doubt as proud of him as he was of the Negro soldiers who rescued him and his regiment from the Spaniards in the late war. The March-April number of Alexander's Magazine is on our desk. Nashville is fully represented in this issue. Mr. Alexander is well thought of at present by the citizens of this city. May flowers had to bow in obeisance to Mr. Jack Frost the first day of the month. The gardeners had to put their smiles away for a season, and set in to plant the second time. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Down in Florida the true animus of the south is exemplified in the amendment proposed to disfranchise the Negro. There is no whipping of the devil around the stump, but it is clear cut and nakedly presented. The amendment provides that after its adoption by legislature, ratification by the people and promulgation by the governor, that qualified voters of Florida shall be white male citizens 21 years of age. Now, this is bold nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments to the federal constitution, and presents the question in such a light that there cannot be any evasion of passing upon the right of the states to nullify any part of the federal constitution by our courts. Our border state is to be commended for its boldness and candor. It has made no attempt to hide behind artificial subterfuges, but has met the issue squarely and put it up to the courts to dispute its right to deny Negro citizens the right to vote. Now what is the country going to do about it?—Atlanta Independent. Mr. Tillman thinks Mr. Washington's white blood is the cause of his greatness. We are wondering whether it is because of it or in spite of it. We are rather inclined to the latter opinion.—Afro-American Ledger. Despite the edicts of the New York Times, the Liberian commissioners, Messrs. Falkner, Scott and Sale, not only sailed on the same boat and ate at the same table, but inaugurated their fellowship by having their pictures taken together on the pier. The Times has probably read the signs aright, as it knows that the reading public is very rapidly turning to trashy fiction.—New York Age. CORRECTION. To the Editor of the Globe: 10 the Editor of the Globe. I notice in last week's issue of your paper a statement which was only partially true. It is true that Brentwood School entertained Lake Providence School and had a very pleasant day at their closing. But as to Lake Providence winning the games, it is not true. As a matter of fact, Brentwood seemed to have been at its best. There were three games on said day. The small boys played one with a score of 18 to 9; the large boys played one with a score of 5 to 3 in favor of Brentwood; then the girls pulled off a tie with the score 16 to 16. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Citizens of the Progressive Little Republic of Central America Keep Abreast with the Times. Upon a visit to the headquarters of the National Negro Doll Company of this city last week it was learned that this concern is still doing an enormous mail order business, sending out these new toys with regularity and with promptness. The manager of the Doll Company had just received an order from a customer in the Republic of Costa Rica. It was sent by Rev. Wm. Forde, of Port Limon. This is indeed interesting from the fact that these citizens so far to the south, living in a tropical climate, should send to Nashville for Negro dolls. It is no news or nothing strange for local firms to fill orders for books, Sunday-school periodicals, Bibles, bells and the like, but it was not expected that the Negro doll question would be agitated in Costa Rica, or in any of the Antilles, to such an extent, but this one order, according to a statement of the manager of the Negro Doll Company, is only a preceder of a good business that will come from Central American republics and the West Indies Islands during the coming holidays. Rev. Mr. Forde is pastor of the largest church in Port Limon which is the principal railroad center and sea port of the republic. Other cities of any size in Costa Rica are Bocas Del Tora, the principal seaport, and San Jose, with Jinenez the greatest as a railroad center. This little republic boasts of a progressive people.

Among the ren- Training for Youth of Both Sexes in Religion and Social Duties. Discussing the peculiarities of the Liberian people, William B. Thatcher, a mining engineer, who spent some years in that country prospecting for minerals and who is at the Arlington., said last night there are secret associations in the Dark Continent. "The Gree Gree and Devil Bushes are secret institutions for the moral, social and religious development of the youths of both sexes. "The head of the Gree Gree Bush is called a Zoah, and the head of the Devil Bush a country Devil. The term devil has not the same significance as in our language. The location of these bushes, or lodges, is in the thickest of the woods. The paths leading to them are labyrinthine. Every precaution is taken to keep the unitiated away. The weird tales told by the natives themselves, and the air of mystery which is made to surround everything which relates to them, are sufficient to guard the curious from approach. "Yet lest some man should stray accidentally into the entrance, a pole is at the head of the path as a danger signal. This is always sufficient warning. "These bushes are the most popular institutions in West Africa among the ion-Christian natives. Their purpose in the main is exalted. The Gree Gree Bush is pledged to the preparation of maidens for their life work. It instructs them in the secrets of womanhood as well as the principles of their religion. So impressive are these lessons that even Christianity itself is said to be powerless to remove the impressions in after life. The purity of those trained by them is vouchered for. As a safeguard men are strictly forbidden not only to enter the lodge, but to be found anywhere in the vicinity. Disobedience is a grave offense. The penalty is death, and there is no escape. Poison is administered by a relative if necessary to carry out the intention of the Zoah." CONCERT AT PLEASANT GREEN CHURCH. The concert at Pleasant Green Baptist Church on Monday night, May 3, under the management of Miss Sadie Harding, was a decided success and proved beneficial to the church and encouraging to the participants. The program was enjoyed by the audience from beginning to end and several numbers received heartily applause.

Nolen is asking for the appointment of United States Minister to Liberia so rumor has it, and from the effort he is making he will no doubt make a good race. Mr. Nolen recently returned from a trip through Mississippi and Alabama, where he secured the approval of the leading citizens of both states. It was in these states he spent his early childhood. On arriving home he made known his ambition and at once a petition was hurried to Washington, D. C., signed by the leading ministers, doctors, lawyers and business men of the city and state asking for his appointment. Members of the faculties of both Walden and Fisk University, it is said, joined in the petition. The Council of Bishops and distinguished laymen of the C. M. E. Church, who met in Birmingham, Ala., May 5, 1909, is also said to have petitioned President Taft in his favor. Other petitions throughout the country are being formed for Mr. Nolen's appointment. A friend, acquainted with his popularity out East, says that the citizens of Washington, D. C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut will send a stronger petition than his home city and state. Mr. Nolen said, "I am not identified with local politics in Tennessee having been from the state for several years. My political strength is mainly out East." Mr. Nolen believes he is fully competent to fill the position, having attended Tuskegee, Walden, Burlitz and Yale Universities, but claims to be a product of Walden. He is planning to go to Washington, in order to more fully perfect his plans for the campaign. He will then go to New York where he will spend the summer, returning to Nashville early in September. Mr. Nolen's friends here wish him success as it would be an honor to the colored citizens of Nashville for a Nashville man to be appointed to such a high position. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY PRIDE OF NASHVILLE. 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 untiring 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 ed- ucational 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 feel confident that Nashville will sustain her reputation and show her interest to Roger Williams by assisting 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. G. H. BANDY. NOTICE. To the members of the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention: You are hereby notified, that a meeting of the Board will be held in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, the 9th day of June 1909, at 10 o'clock a. m.

ED. BROWN UNDER ARREST. Ed Brown, who, it is said, on Sunday afternoon stabbed and killed Early Shelburn, in the woods about five miles on the Granny White Pike, was arrested Monday and placed in jail on a charge of murder. Brown was discovered by the officers in a house between Pearl street and Jo Johnston avenue. He stated to the officers that the trouble between Shelburn and himself had originated over a crap game, and that when Shelburn reached for a revolver which he had in his coat pocket he drew his knife and defended himself. Brown is large in stature, his height being 6 feet 2 inches. Brown's statement in regard to Shelburn's pistol is borne out both by the witnesses and the officers, who visited the scene of the killing Sunday. CARD FROM FRIENDS OF THE LATE MRS. ELLA C. HOWARD. Almighty God has seen fit to take from our midst our dear friend, Mrs. Ella Cohen 'Howard, who departed this life last Tuesday evening, April 27, 1909, at 1:45 o'clock. Oh how we shall miss her. No more shall we hear her sweet voice; no more shall we grasp her tender hands—for her soul has gone to rest. Mrs. Howard was loved by all who knew her. During her illness she did not suffer for anything. She professed a hope in Christ Wednesday, April 21, and was happily converted. She was baptized by Rev. J. C. Harding. We regret our loss, but our loss is Heaven's gain. To the family we extend our sincere condolence of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased the Divine Providence to afflict them and commend them for consolation to Him who orders things for the best and whose chastisement is meant in mercy. We believe that the Lord doeth all things well. We can only bow our heads and say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh; blessed be the name of the Lord. The funeral was from New Hope Baptist Church.

At a meeting of the Stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company on Wednesday the matter of selecting a site was made a special feature. The committee reported several places, all very desirable locations, but the stockholders were almost unanimously in favor of the building on Cedar street occupied by Geo. Gary for a restaurant. The site is an ideal one and will make a splendid banking house. May 26 was decided upon as the date the election of officers would take place. CORNERSVILLE NOTES. Misses Annie Gillespie, Mary B.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MAY 7. 1909. SPORT. In a game filled with brilliant hitting and bad fielding the Birmingham Giants defeated the Nashville Collegians by the score of 14 to 6. The game was a slugging match from the start in which the Nashville boys had the better of the mill, but lost the game by bad fielding. Two wild throws, a passed ball and dumb base running were their undoing. Smith, though, has a frisky set of youngsters who are going to make trouble for all comers this season. The Birmingham team is a good one and is full of good ball players. They are gentlemanly and play the game all the time. They are making a trip North this season and are being watched by all the ball players in the South to see what kind of a showing the South is going to make. Nashville hopes to see them again this season. The Birmingham Giants defeated Louisville, Sunday 10-1. Louisville found herself helpless before the masterly pitching of Taylor, who gave up two hits in nine innings and struck out five men. Harris, of Louisville, pitched a good game, but was given poor support. The weather was very cold and the crowd was not as large as expected.

FRANKLIN. - TENNESSEE. CENTERVILLE NOTES. No one in Centerville will ever forget the awful scenes of Thursday night, April 29. Centerville has never before been visited by a storm. On the night of April 29, when this little town was hushed in sleep and all nature steeped in peaceful dreams, the people of Centerville woke to see on the one hand houses reduced to kindling and on the other heard cries and groans from the injured. Few houses remained undamaged and many were blown to the ground. The Baptist, Methodist and Christian churches were totally destroyed. The home of Jno. Burchard was blown down and then caught fire. He and family narrowly escaped an untimely grave. The home of Prof. and Mrs. T. J. Clinnison was almost blown away. They had just been aroused by the storm, sprang to their feet, when the top part of a very large folding bed fell across the bed with terrific force. Had they been a few seconds late they would have been crushed to death. The most pathetic scenes were at the home of Mrs. Pelina Harris, a widow, whose home was blown to pieces. Her cries for help, mingled with that of her four little children, would touch any heart and move the dryest eyes to tears. The storm occurred between 10 and 11 o'clock. Through the remainder of the night the streets were alive with a mass of humanity. Southeast Centreville was the scene of the greatest damage. Most houses in that section were either totally destroyed or badly damaged. The greatest surprise was the few killed and injured. The death list: Porter Farris, ten years old, son of Mrs. Pelina Farris. The injured: Jno. Burchard, R. S. Hornbeak, Mrs. Adeline Wyles, Mrs. Pelina Farris and Mrs. Aggie Dye. Dr. E. A. Posey rendered valuable services. Relief committees were quickly formed. The storm so wrecked everything that school will be dismissed for the remainder of the session. The school sustained the loss of its beautiful piano, which was moved to the church preparatory to the closing exercises which would have begun May 24. Elaborate preparations had been made for this closing. Prof. and Mrs. T. J. Clinnison sustained a great loss in the damage done to their furniture, for their home was almost wholly unroofed amid the greatest of the rain. Their books and book cases were also greatly damaged. Mrs. S. C. Cook, of Franklin, spent a few days in the city last week, visiting her mother, Mrs. Martha Demoss, of 419 Fifteenth avenue, North. Mrs. A. E. Brooks is visiting in Franklin this week. Mrs. Carrie Foster, of 1641 Patterson street, is on the sick list of this week. Mr. Charlie Carter, of 526 Quarry street, is confined to his room on account of illness.
