THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. ROGER WILLIAMS AND WALDEN NASHVILLE'S OLDEST EDUCA TIONAL INSTITUTIONS For the Negro Youth Winding Up Year's Work. BOTH HAVE HAD VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR — WALDEN BEGAN MONDAY NIGHT—LARGE NORMAL CLASS—LAW CLASS TUESDAY NIGHT—MR. T. G. EWING, JR., ADDRESSES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION — ROGER WILLIAMS BEGAN THURSDAY, MAY 13 AND CLOSES WEDNESDAY, MAY 19 — VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW. The commencement exercises of two of Nashville's largest, oldest and most noted religious educational institutions began this week. They are attracting wide-spread attention. The schools are Roger Williams University, under its new management, and Walden University. Possibly the largest crowd attended and best exercises in the history of Walden University proper were held this week. The exercises began Monday night, when the Normal Department, with a large class, presented an appropriate program, spliced with music. Tuesday night the Law Department exercises were held. This department was also ably represented and well attended during the term. The principal speaker to address the class was Prof. Zeller. The most enjoyable exercise so far was the program rendered Wednesday night, which was Alumni night. There were two speakers, both graduates of Walden, one was Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips, who spoke on behalf of the ladies, and the other was Mr. T. G. Ewing, Jr., who is here from Mississippi as the special guest of the Alumni of Walden University. Mr. Ewing delivered an able address and was given marked attention. It is impossible to give his address in full. He said in part: Doubtless all of us can be benefited by comparing notes at this time when the question: "What is to be done with the Negro?" is being discussed with such spirit and vigor. While this question is no new one in our country, its unexpected recurrence in its stereotyped form is calculated to give all thinking men among u unusual concern. Some of us had dared to hope and even expect that soon the Negro as a political issue would be eliminated from the arena of national and state questions; and the very fact that our status is regarded as peculiar carries the conviction that we are not yet regarded as a homogeneous part of the nation but are still to be dealt with as a thing apart. If then constitutional governments cannot discriminate against its outlying provinces, how can a Republic which is founded in the equality of its citizens exist where its governmental policy is to be adjusted to the complexion of the skin or any other adventitious circumstances? For my part I have confidence in the sanity and patriotism of the American people. Let no man cherish apprehension for either the destiny of the Negro in America or our political establishment, if President Taft should not appoint a single Negro to a Federal position during his administration, for political preferment is not essential to our citizenship and well-being. Perhaps it would be best for us if he should thus throw us upon our own resources, and divert our attention from the Federal government. For at this stage of our development it is far more essential that we should awaken to a sense of our own powers, independent of governmental assistance, than to have our vanity flattered by a few minor appointments. It would be far better for us to come into our own by dint of merit, than to be coddled by sentiment and political expedients, for history tells us that justice may be impeded but never defeated. "What you do for justices helps it on, and what you do against justice accelerates its progress." Your attention this evening is invited to the latter clause of this proposition. "We progress despite opposition." I have no hope of producing on this occasion, any thing new or original; but my only purpose is to recall to your minds that we are living under a universal law as ancient as creation. That this law was ordained by God; that God is no respector of persons; and that the evolution of the Negro in America is a faithful witness of these facts. "We note in the physical world that resistance produces strength, as in the development of the human body. In the intellectual world, contest produces power—as iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." In the moral MR. T. G. EWING, JR., Cashier of the Union Savings Bank, Vicksburg, Miss. and spiritual world, successful warfare with one's passions and the trials of life has produced the good and great men and women of all ages. It can be safely said that progress despite opposition has characterized the Negro's life in America in a most extraordinary degree. In fact the most casual reader of American history cannot fall to be amazed when he contemplates the Negoo's condition now as compared with it when the first cargo of slaves landed here in chains. When the white man landed on this continent in pursuit of Freedom to worship God he was struck by its latent possibilities and confronted by his need of laborers to develop these resources. The roving Indian could not be yoked to perform this stupendous task, so Africa was resorted to for the purpose of furnishing the one thing needful. The Negro was brought here as an immediate necessity and by his innate qualities has become a permanent necessity. Notwithstanding the fact that the first blood spilled in the Revolutionary War was that of a Negro, he did not come within the purview of the Constitution as originally adopted. If so the Fugitive Slave Law and the Dred Scott Decision would never have seen the light or day. If the Declaration of Independence had been, adoption and promulgation of the public opinion, the war '61 and '65 would never have blighted the Nation's peace and happiness. The adoption and promulgation of the war amendments to the Constitution were belated utterances of the people that "This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." Every man born under the stars and stripes is entitled to protection to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to trial by a jury of his peers; to the privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus; to the right to vote when competent to do so; to the privilege of holding office; to testify in courts of justice; to immunity against bill of attainder or ex post facto law; to sue and be sued; to religious liberty, and to the ownership of property. "The census of 1900 gives the total number of farms owned and operated in the U. S. by Negroes as 746,715. twenty-five per cent. of which they own. The total acreage of these farms under actural cultivation aggregates the enormous total of 38., 233,920. The value of his farm property, including live stock, is $499., 343,734. The value of his products for 1899 was $255,751,145. The Kentucky Reporter says—If the farm (Continued on Page 5.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1909 HEARTS OF NASH VILLE PEOPLE HEARTS OF NASH VILLE PEOPLE MOTHER GOOSE CONCERT GREAT SUGGESS. Fisk Memorial Chapel Given Over to the Babies. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN CHILDREN TAKE PART IN PLAY—LITTLE FOLKS ENJOY PERFORMING—ACT THEIR PARTS WELL—PROCESSIONAL MARCH BEAUTIFUL SCENE—LITERARY SOCIETY MEMBERS UNTIRING IN THEIR EFFORTS — EVERY ONE PRESENT DELIGHTED WITH THE PLAY—MISS HILL AND MRS. MILLER TAKE PART. The hearts of the people of Nashville appeared in a "Mother Goose" concert which was given at Fisk Memorial Chapel last Friday evening, that is to say, one hundred and seven children, representing about as many families contributed by their beautiful actions and their childlike innocence and simplicity to the grandeur of this occasion. Time and again, ever and often, as is the by-word, the citizens are favored with some rare treat in the nature of a concert, or recital, but nothing that has ever been given in Nashville has completely met the approbation of every one as did this "Mother Goose" entertainment. was learned by a Globe reporter that the idea of this entertainment was first conceived in the mind of a member of the Fisk Literary Club, who, confided in others, and finally it was decided to put the idea before the club. The club endorsed it and at once planned to set about to arrange for this stupendous concert, the like of which has never been witnessed before in this city. Every member of the Literary Club busied herself and contributed her part towards the success of the entertainment. It is no small task to train one hundred and seven children, whose ages range from two to sixteen years, but those who witnessed the performance Friday night will not again entertain the least doubt that this can be done. The rehearsals, from time to time, had attracted wide-spread interest and the people waited impatiently for the approaching time. At 7:30 o'clock a large crowd in the Memorial Chapel awaited the raising of the curtain for the expected program. At 8:00 o'clock, Miss M. E. Grisham began playing "Rainbow" and the two doors on each side of the stage swung open and Miss Mary K. Hill, as "Mother Goose," and Mrs. J. E. Miller, as "Old Woman," led what seemed to be an endless line of children around the sides of the Chapel. When they reached the main entrance they were joined by others and marched down the center of the Chapel, presenting a most picturesque scene. Then came a lovely stage scene, which was number one, a "Gypsy Chorus." The entire number of one hundred and seven children was in the choir stand while twenty-five young ladies, dressed in gypse style, occupied the platform, sitting around the camp fire, and lead in the chorus. Then came the light infantry by fourteen little children, which was the most amusing feature of the entertainment. This was followed by show scene number one, introduced by F. A. Stewart, Jr., and W. H. Walker, "Little Bo-Peep," who had lost her sheep, was represented by Rebecca S. Page. The sheep were J. B. Singleton, Jr., R. H. Harris, Jr., James E. Lewis and H. W. C. Jones. The house was wild with applause. Then came the old bachelor and his wife, represented by J. Merrill Mayberry and Alma E. Dunn. The sixth piece on the program was "Jack and Gill" by Valdo Kelly and Ruth Upshaw. Both of these parts showed careful and excellent training, Number seven, "Simple Simon and the Pleman," was taken by John Overton and Alvin Darden, who were introduced by Mary Merrill. Simple Simon was an amusing character and was played to perfection. The Boy in Blue, introduced by Lottie Phillips, was played by Charles Franklin successfully. "Little Miss Muffet" was also introduced by Lottie Phillips and was played by Edmonia White. "Little Tom Tucker," which was played by A. M. Townsend, Jr., was introduced by Eunice Griggs. These two parts, like the others, brought prolonged applause from the audience, and especial comment was made on the excellent solo sung by the little boy, who showed himself to be quite a soloist. It was amusing to see him hold his mother to time, who was performing at the instrument. He sang "I'm Tying the Leaves so They Won't Come Down." The little girl with bells on her toes was played by Alberta Watkins. This crossed part one of the program. At this time the house was wild with excitement. Part two opened with a chorus and pantomine, "Come, My Childrem, Come Away," which was sung in excellent time. Then, "A Dillar, a Dollar" was next by Leola Bright, acting as teacher and Mary Paul Anderson, as scholar, "Little Jack Horner" was played by John Work, 3d, being introduced by Katie A. Boyd. At this point, little Jennie Birdsong sang beautifully "Smartie," and was heartily applauded. The Three Fiddlers, W. S. Ellington, Jr., S. P. Harris, Jr. and Green Hall, Jr., was laughably rendered. "Baby Bunting," by Ruth Hill was well rendered. All of the time during the second part, three little children sat at the front of the stage and enjoyed a sumptuous repast. Number seven was "Red Riding Hood" played by Bertha Dunn, who was to have eaten her supper, but the children had destroyed everything on the table, and the house went wild. "Old Woman and Old Man" was represented by Catherine Hill and George Dixon. "The Hay Fever Act" was well played by Katie Boyd. "Mistress Mary." introduced by Janette Bright, was taken by Georgia Bright and ten girls. Then came the girl with the broom, by Lillian Dixon and shoe scene number two. Part two closed with a see-saw chorus, with Cerella Brown and Ruth Bandy on the see-saw. Miss Elizabeth Moore was stage manager and she was ably assisted by the following members of the Literary Club: Misses Lillian Bright, M. E. Grisham, Willa McBroom, Minnie Hunter, L. E. Phillips, Fanny Banks, Laura Stump, Emma Terry, Wright, Mesdames Bright, Brown and others. The Globe reporter learned that the entire entertainment was a financial success and that the club through its efforts will be able to turn over about $100 in cash to the University.

NEW HOSPITAL NOW ASSURED DEAN HUBBARD MAKES FLYING TRIP. Visits Several Points In Several States. MEHARRY GRADUATES GIVE HIM GLAD HAND EVERYWHERE — ALABAMA, GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA INVADED —SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED BY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TO MEHARRY—INDICATIONS VERY BRIGHT FOR THE NEW HOSPITAL—DR. HUBBARD DELIVERS INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE. Dr. G. W. Hubbard has just returned from an extended trip to Chattanooga, Atlanta, Augusta and Orangeburg. He spent one day in Chattanooga, where he saw fourteen of the Meharry graduates and secured subscriptions for the new hospital amounting to $110.00. Seven of these were physicians, four dentists and three pharmacists. At Atlanta he attended a meeting of the Presidents, Deans and Principals of the schools of the Freedman's Aid Society of the M. E. Church. There were representatives from Claflin, Wiley, Walden, Clark Universities; Philander Smith, Central of Alabama, Sam Houston, Morristown, N. and I. Colleges; Cookman Institute, Gilbert Academy and Gammon Theological Seminary. Dr. Bennett, Inspector of Schools, and Secretaries Mason and McVeady were also present. President Crogman, of Clark University, was chosen president of the meeting; four sessions were held and a permanent organization effected. Dr. Hubbard read a paper on "School Sanitation" and was requested to furnish a copy for publication. He also visited Atlanta University, Atlanta Baptist College and Spelman Seminary and on Sunday morning spoke to the students at the chapel. On the Saturday previous a meeting of the alumni was held at the office of Dr. Slater, and nearly all of the Meharry graduates were present. Subscriptions amounting to $200.00 were made. On Monday he left for Orangeburg, S. C., where he visited Claflin University. On Tuesday he left for Augusta, Ga., where he attended a meeting of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association of the state of Georgia. The first public meeting was held at the Baptist Tabernacle and welcome addresses were made by a number of the citizens and a paper on "Healthier Conditions" was read by Dr. Ward, of Savannah. The first business meeting was held the following day and over 70 members were present; one half of whom were Meharry graduates. The annual address was delivered by the President of the Association. This was followed by a paper by Dr. H. R. Butler, of Atlanta. Dr. Hubbard spoke to the members regarding the obligations of professional graduates toward their Alma Mater, saying: The character and work of a school could not be determined either by its building and outfits or by is faculty, but must be judged by the work of its alumni; the graudates ought to live upright, honorable lives; thus being living illustrations of the various institutions which they represented. They should also be willing to testify in behalf of their alma mater and encourage students to attend and enjoy its benefits. They should be willing to extend financial aid and do all possible in every way to advance the interest of the institution to whom they owed their professional education. --- Miss Emma E. Shorter, who has been teaching the Business Course in the Kosciusko Industrial College, at Kosciusko, Miss., returned home on the 7th inst. to spend her vacation with her mother and sister. M-2093 E.

The fact that young men from this city are making good elsewhere is often brought to the notice of home folks and the following shows the success of one of Mississippi's big banks, in which a young man from Nashville was the prime mover in its establishment. The gentleman spoken of is Mr. T. G. Ewing, Jr., a graduate of the Law Department of Walden University. "A banking institution which fosters business enterprises and safeguards the savings of a people is the institution that adds most to the growth and prosperity of a city. The necessity for such an institution, owned and operated by Negroes, was early recognized by a few farsighted race leaders, but many obstacles stood in the way of its establishment. Finally, the late Dr. C. Henri Woode with his associate T. G. Ewing, Jr., decided to brave all opposition and make a heroic effort to bring into existence this conceived necessity. Accordingly, at their invitation a few of the race's monied men assembled in Nov., 1904, subscribed liberally to the effort, and organized The Union Savings Bank. By Jan., 1905, the charter had been secured and sufficient capital paid in to warrant the officers opening for business. This was done and the liberal patronage then given the bank amply justified the wisdom of the organizers. "The Union Savings Bank was popular with this public at its inception and has remained so until writing. The high character of the officers and directors who have always controlled the bank's affairs has been to the patrons a sufficient guarantee of safety and solvency. We are pleased in this Industrial Review to call special attention to this splendid financial institution. It now safeguards hundreds of accounts for the general public and enjoys the very highest confidence of the community." "Its doors were opened for business on China street just west of Washington in 1905. It very soon outgrew these cramped quarters, but its officers were several years endeavoring to secure suitable apartments. Just recently it has secured a splendid suite of banking room, conveniently THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1909. located at the corner of Washington and Grove streets. No effort has been spared to arrange these in such a manner as to secure the highest comfort to its patrons. "The Union Savings Bank ranks among the best managed institutions of the state, and in its short history has paid dividends aggregating 15 per cent and passed several thousand dollars to surplus. "The officers are: J. G. H. Bowman, President; Rev. A. M. Johnson, 1st Vice-President; Thos Dillon, 2d Vice-President; T. G. Ewing, Jr., Cashier; G. M. McIntyre, Assistant Cashier."—Vicksburg, Miss, American. 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 uniting 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 Maw 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 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. PROMINENT WOMEN WILL AT: TEND CONGRESS. The delegates and visitors who have consented to appear on program and have announced that they would attend the Sunday-School Congress, which meets in this city June 9-14, have attracted no little attention. Each day's mail brings a dozen or more letters from various sections in the United States from religious workers saying that they will attend. On Monday morning it was given out at Congress Headquarters by the secretary that three of the national leaders in the Woman's Auxiliary Convention, working under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention, had decided to attend the Congress as follows; Mrs. A. H. Peyton, of Chicago, President of the Woman's Convention of Illinois, who is known throughout the country, and is one of the strong women now before the public; Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga., wife of Rev. P. Jas Bryant, D. D., a woman of rare ability, who for years has been identified with the state work of Georgia and is Vice President of the Woman's Auxiliary and a potent factor; Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky., Corresponding Secretary of the Auxiliary, has accepted the invitation to be present and is so well known that the mere mention of her name is sufficient for the public. Aside from this the women will have their board meeting in connection with the Congress and it is likely that the president, Mrs. Layton, of Philadelphia, will attend. The assignment Committee on Monday had over two hundred names with more coming in each mail. YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB The Young Men's Literary Club assembled at the residence of Mr. Eugene Berry on last Monday night for the purpose of transacting any such business as might come before the body. Much was said and done for the benefit of the club and regarding the promised surprise. The next meeting will be with Mr. Jno, A. Galloway, of 1610 State street, where the following program will be rendered: Music by club; Current news suggestions; Address (five minutes) Mr. J. A. Galloway; Music by the club; Address (five minutes) Mr. Anderson; Essay—How I may benefit the Young Men's Literary Club, by Mr. W. D.

MOTHER GOOSE. On last Friday night the members of the Literary Society composed of graduates of Fisk University living in this city rendered in Fisk Memorial Chapel the old familiar play, "Mother Goose Rhymes." The story of "The old woman who lived in a shoe," has been listened to by millions of children, and is as universally known as any story ever written by an American author. We do not feel that we can enlighten many on the story, but a suggestion comes to mind that may serve well to aid some parents in training their children. The committee in charge of the arrangements for the concert got together over one hundred children ranging from two to ten years old. They then set to work to teach them how to perform in the different acts, and we are satisfied that they succeeded far beyond their expectations, for the little people played their parts well. Some of the smallest tots in the play were among the most brilliant performers. Parents were naturally interested in their own children first, and those whose children were not given conspicuous parts doubtless had a feeling of ill will toward those who conducted the affair, but if any parents had then or have now such a feeling they should dismiss it at once. The members of the society who had charge of the children during the time they were being trained to perform in the play, could not possibly do in a few hours what the parents should have been doing from the time the little ones first saw the light of day. If your child is dull you should not blame any one but yourself. If you have said to your boy or your girl "I have no time to bother with you," or in reply to some question, "That is none of your business," with out explaining why, ask yourself the question if it is reasonable to expect the child to have good ideas when as a matter of fact you have neglected to teach them. "Train up a child in the way you would have it go," is the teaching of Holy Writ, and again we find this admonition: "Spare not the rod and spoil the child." Infants are as susceptible now as they have been at any time in the history of the world, and applications that were effective three or four thousand years ago are so now. The only difference that can probably be noticeable is that development of the mind can be accomplished earlier now than then, which makes it more necessary that parents should devote every minute possible to the training of their children. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1909 WHAT IS THE CAUSE. From different sections of the country we get the information that Negroes are leaving the South for the North, and that those leaving are the reliable laboring people. One daily paper says that this condition of affairs happens from time to time, but only lasts for a short while, and that many of those who go soon return to the South. This may have been true in many instances in the past but who knows that it will continue to be so. It is true the Negro loves the South, because he understands the people here, and this is his home; he loves it more than he can anywhere else in the world, but if it becomes impracticable for him to stay here he will go elsewhere. There are some things done to the Negro in the South that make him want to leave. In the state of Florida, for instance, the law makers are trying to take from him all of his rights as a citizen. They are attempting to reduce him to a state akin to slavery. They seem determined to set the Constitution of the Union to naught, and they believe, and the Negroes believe, that the Supreme Court of the nation will decide that it is a state affair, and that the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in the case. In Kentucky the Negroes are ordered to leave their work simply because they are Negroes; again in the same state they are forbidden to purchase ground and erect a school to educate their children, who have been denied by law the right to enjoy the privileges granted to them in the endowment of Berea College. When the Negro leaves the South he yearns for the happy days spent there, but when he remembers to what extent he was denied the privileges that all are entitled to he will at least hesitate before returning from a section of the country where he is treated more like a man. A GOOD LAW. The Fifty-sixth General Assembly of Tennessee passed a law to prohibit drinking on trains, street cars, and in public places. The law stipulates that any one caught violating this act shall be punished. This act was not passed especially to protect Negro women when riding on trains or frequenting public places, but it covers their case just the same, and every respectable man and woman will remember the members of our last Legislature with the utmost respect for having passed this law. And Negro women can especially call them blessed, for they, more than any class of citizens, have had to endure these outrages. Restricted by law to one coach, they are compelled to ride with the most uncouth of our race, and some Negro men can show as little respect for their women as any men any where in the world. It is a source of much gratification to know that in the future in Tennessee, at least, Negro women will not be confronted with the whisky bottle every time they board a train. We are satisfied that the men will do all in their power to assist in having this law enforced. It is a good law and will go a long way towards compelling men to respect themselves and others in public places. SCHOOL CLOSING TIME. The season of the year has come when every boy and girl is thinking of commencement. In a few weeks the rope that rings the old school bell will be hung on the nail, and the pupils and teachers will be making their way home. Some will be leaving never to return as students, and if at all it will be in a capacity quite different from that of a student. The three institutions of higher learning in this city, Fisk, Walden and Roger Williams Universities, will send out nearly one hundred graduates this year. These young people go in different parts of the country to labor with their fellowmen. We hope for them much success, and we hope they all realize that success only comes to them that work. This is the month of May. You may not think so, but it is so nevertheless. You must have a calendar at hand to keep up with the seasons now. Mr. Chas. H. Burrill, the secretary of the Globe Publishing Company, has been confined to his room this week. His co-laborers call him "Father Burrill." The number that honors him thus are most as numerous as the old woman's children who lived in the shoe, and the most amusing feature of it is some of those who call him "Father" are several years his senior. His army of children will rejoice to learn that "Father" is convalescing. Some of our young men make themselves very obnoxious on the streets. We recently noticed two young men in conversation with a lady, and it seemed that they tried to see how close they could get their faces to hers. It was disgusting. Young men, learn to be manly men. Respect ladies everywhere and they will honor and respect you. A member of the City Council desire to enlarge the Third Ward. We fall to see the need, unless it is to ease the conscience, for the black voters only outnumber the whites when the ballots are not being counted. DECORATION DAY. The graves of the Federal dead at Stone's River National Cemetery will be decorated as usual May 31st (Monday). The following arrangements have been made. A special train will leave College street station at 9:30 a.m. Returning will leave Murfreesboro at 5:00 p.m. Liberty Post No. 22, of Tuilahoma, in charge. The public is invited to attend. --- OLD SOLDIERS' SERMON SUNDAY. On Sunday at 2:30 the old soldiers composing Lincoln Post No. 4, G. A. R., will have their sermon at Mt. Nebo Baptist Church. The sermon will be preached by the pastor, Rev. Felix Mays. All the old soldiers living in and near Nashville will be present. Commander Preston Taylor and Adjutant B. P. P. Randals will have charge of the ceremonies. PULASKIANS GRATEFUL. Dear Editor—Please allow me space in your valuable paper to thank the many friends of Pulaski for showing a Christlike heart and contributing to Mrs. Jane Mannaway or myself, either clothing, household goods, bedding or money to give the sufferers, who were in the late disaster which occurred about two weeks ago near Bryson. We had planned to have published all the names of those who gave something but our list is too long, however a copy of the names will be kept and sent to Rev. Wm. Jones, the Baptist minister at Bryson, Tenn., who is showing much interest in helping to distribute the articles given, to be read from his pulpit. Up until now we have received wagon loads and no one has refused as yet. No committee appointed us, but we felt it our duty to do something for the stricken. No one can realize the condition of the sufferers until you see them or visit the scene of the wreck. People who once lived as we are living are now homeless, without clothing and without food. Thanking the many friends and trusting that God will bless you, we are yours for the cause of humanity. LEG BROKEN. Mr. Felix Hadley, 317½ Eleventh avenue, North, received a very painful injury in the form of a broken leg. Last Wednesday while in the discharge of his duties at the Tulane Hotel, where he has been employed for more than twenty years, Mr. Hadley went to raise a large iron, door in the rear of the hotel, the door being broken and he not knowing it, fell, striking his leg, almost before he realized what had happened. No one was near and he called in vain for help. Finally he managed to drag himself to the office of Dr. Stevens, where the wound was dressed. He was then carried to his home, where he is resting as well as can be expected. EAST STAR LODGE. East Star Lodge No. 20, A. F. & A.

NASHVILLE, MONDAY NIGHT, MAY 1 THERE WILL BE A LAWN FETE GIVEN AT THE RESIDENCE OF The conscience is a God-implanted faculty in man by which he distinguishes between the right and wrong of his acts. It is a self-directing force or endowment, which if implicitly obeyed, will keep him in the even tenor of his way without any overt infringement of "do unto others as you would have others do unto you." It is an intuition or immediate perception enabling man to determine the moral responsibility of his conduct. It is a compass more unerring than the modernly-constructed mariner's compass. Its needle ever points to the pole of right. It is an infallible guide, if its directions are followed without divergence, or debating the wisdom of doing so. TWO NIGHTS OF JOY AND PLEASURE A GRAND May Festival and Prize Contest, WILL BE GIVEN AT THE Tabernacle Baptist Church, Tuesday and Wednesday Nights, Shakespeare, in writing of this faculty, said: "Conscience does make cowards of us all." But doubtless he meant that such is only true of those whose conduct toward their fellowmen runs counter to their conscience, for he said elsewhere in his writings: "I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience." It is sometimes true that our consciences will so infect our minds that they will to their deaf pillows discharge their secrets, or make us take fright at a bush behind which we have peopled with a bear, when there is no bear.

Mr. Carnegie on one occasion, in demonstrating that the Negro is no beggar, said that he owned enough land to constitute a country larger than Denmark, Belgium or Liberia. Now add to this the value of his church, school and city property and he doubtless is worth a billion of dollars, to say nothing of his money in Saving Banks. But the greatest impetus in the Negro's financial, industrial and intellectual growth has been noted since the adoption of the "grandfather-constitutions in the Southern states. The agitation by the public men of the section looking to the restriction of his privileges as a citizen by educational and property qualifications has given impetus to his onward movement. The Negro seems to have made up his mind to meet every requirement that it is possible to overate him with." The nation will not forfeit its political institutions; nor abandon the Christian religion simply to deprive the Negro of equality before the law. This being the only alternative in the premesis, we are bound to come speedily into our own—equality of responsibility—and equality of privileges under the stars and stripes.

DR. ROMAN RETURNS FROM EX TENDED TRIP. Dr. C. V. Roman has recently returned from an extended trip through Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. While away he visited two doctor's state associations, one in Mississippi, and another in Georgia. Dr. Roman was very favorably impressed with the sentiments expressed by those members of the associations he visited who are Meharry graduates in regard to the proposed Hubbard Infirmary. Dr. Roman was the special invited guest of the Mississippi association, and delivered an address that is attracting widespread attention. He said in part: "Adaptability to environment is a necessary condition of existence and is one of the essentials of fitness as used in the oft quoted phrase "survival of the fittest."

Last week was a big week in Shelbyville. Friday morning an army of B. Y. P. U.'s arrived and took possession of the town and held a convention of two days at the First Baptist Church. The six o'clock train brought a special car of Nashville pleasure-seekers under the chaperonage of Prof. G. E. Washington. These were the special guests of Turner Normal College. The party consisted of the Pearl High School Glee Club and the baseball team of that school. They were met by Turner Normalites and assigned to their homes, after which, at 8 o'clock a magnificent concert was given at the Auditorium by the students of both schools. It was a rare treat. A splendid audience greeted the students. Drs. F. G. Smith and Caruthers and Prof. Cameron were in the party. A big game of baseball was pulled off the next day on Turner's campus. It was a battle of the giants. Johnnie Cartwright being ill, the Turner attempts to substitute Alexander from Wartrace as pitcher, but Pearl would have none of that. Johnnie, though sick, was forced to enter the box, but he soon gave down through weakness. Pearl finally became considerate and allowed Turner to call in a pitcher from the local team, and the battle was on. Although Pearl had gotten the advantage under Cartwright's feeble playing, thereby winning the first game, Turner got in good shape in the second game and cleaned up things generally, winning on a score of 6 to 3. Second game called after third inning to allow Pearl to catch train. Great preparations are now being made for commencement, which takes place June 10. Visitors are expected from all over the state. A number of Nashville's 400 have already spoken for rooms at Turner Normal to spend from two to six weeks during the hot summer months. Dr. Jones states that arrangements are being made to conduct a series of entertainments and lectures for the enjoyment and instruction of the summer guests.

The Great Missionary Conference, under the supervision of Rev. Wm. Beckham, D. D., Field Secretary of the National Convention, will open on the second day with the home missionaries who are at work in the various states. The Educators' Conference, in which college presidents and representatives from educational institutions representing fifty-two denominational schools, will hold daily sessions.

Already hundreds of letters have been received at headquarters asking for homes, and many are selecting subjects upon which they will write. WONDERFUL INCREASE IN BANK IN 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.

NEW CORPORATION. Among the last corporations to open for business in Nashville is the Capital Concrete Company, the firm being organized and opened for business by Turner Brothers, J. W. and Will, respectively. They propose to have an office up town and do a real concrete construction business, such as blocks for walls and dwelling houses. Both of the young men are well known in the business and will no doubt have an extensive trade. Rev. Shoulder, of Perry Hill, preached the Odd Fellows sermon Sunday at the A. M. E. Church. He had a large and attentive audience. Miss Blossie Bell and sister were the guests of Mrs. M. D. Dean Sunday. They were accompanied by Mr. Buford Dean and others in the afternoon. The Hardshell Baptists had their reunion Sunday. Quite a number were present. Mrs. Anderson Hughes left last Wednesday for Nashville, where she will be under the treatment of Dr. R. F. Boyd. Prof. and Mrs. Hynes will render a program at the First Baptist Church Tuesday night, May 11th. Mr. Anderson Hughes, after spending a few days at the Mercy Hospital with his wife, has returned.

There will be plenty of baseball in Nashville next week beginning Monday. The Nashville Collegians take on the fast team from East Nashville, The Standard Furniture Line, and Tuesday and Wednesday they will cross bats with the Birmingham Giants, who are returning from a very successful trip in the North, having played such teams as Louisville, Indianapolis, West Barden, Evansville and St. Louis, winning a majority of their games which goes to show that Birmingham has one of the strongest teams in the country. These games will be played for the benefit of Mercy and Geo, W. Hubbard hospitals, and all should turn out and by doing so contribute something to help these institutions. The games will be hard fought battles as all the teams are in first-class condition, having had some little time to get the kinks out and develop the inner points of the game. Baseball is indeed the national game and it is indeed pleasing to know that it is being placed upon such high plane in Nashville. The games are all clean and one can go and take his wife or daughter and witness a good clean game of baseball. Much credit it is due the managers of the teams. They seem first to impress the men that they must be gentlemen and then they must play ball. The at- evidence at the games has been good and the colored people are coming out just as long as they continue to have the right kind of sport. The colored people of Nashville like the game and will come out when given the right article. HAVE NEW BALL PARK. Marco Baseball Grounds Only Negro Park in Ohio. DAYTON, Ohio.—Dayton colored people are showing up wonderfully in the line of new enterprises. The newest feature that is now in evidence is the Marco baseball club which organization is composed of semi-professional colored ball players gathered from all parts of the State, and who formerly constituted the Ohio State Afro-American League. The new Maro bbaseball grounds are located within about three squares of Dahomey Park, the only Negro park in Ohio, and consists of five acres on South Hackett avenue, near the Soldiers' Home. Much interest is being manifested by the colored people in the baseball park and the pleasure park. The colored people realize that Dahomey Park, in connection with Marco Baseball Park, will be a success, and will fill a long-felt want. Thousands of persons who visit the pleasure resort will find easy access to the baseball grounds, as it is only two minutes from Dahomey Park station on the White Line. Architect Harris, of the Dayton Lumber Company, has charge of the building of the grandstand and bleachers, and has a force of men at work. The seating capacity of the grandstand will be five hundred, and there is no limit to the bleachers. In conversation with J. A. McFarland, general manager of the team, information was gleaned that the club was in need of only two players, and from the tone of McFarland it is certain that all applicants will undergo a severe "workout," and it is only a question of time when the Marco team will be advertised as the team that made Dayton colored people famous. The first game scheduled is with a club from New Orleans, and will mark the opening of the ball park and Dahomey Park. The officers of the Marco baseball team are M. C. Moore, president; Harry Gardener, secretary; Jeff Roberts, treasurer, and J. A. McFarland, general manager. The organization will be incorporated next week for $10,000. Such features as the pleasure park and the ball park for colored people are sure to elevate the Negro race. WOMEN AND BASEBALL. More of Fairer Sex Should Attend Game. Thinks Mrs. F. L. Chance. CHICAGO.-At the opening of the baseball season Mrs. Frank L. Chance, wife of the world's champion leader, is out in an interview declaring that it is upon women-not the flighty, volatile kind, but the steady, home variety—that the future of the national game depends. To prevent the game from becoming a rowdy pastime only for bleachers full of men to watch, she believes that more women should occupy seats in the grandstand. "If more women would forsake bridge whist and pink tea, soft cushions and kilmonos, and turn out to watch the cleanest sport in the world, there would be more robustness and fair-mindedness among our sex," Mrs. Chance said. "If women would only come out and expand their lungs to the fresh air by 'rooting' for the home team, there would be less work for the doctors."

Louisville, Ky.—In a well-played game Louisville again demonstrated its ability to play high-class baseball by defeating Birmingham. The score stood—Louisville, 9; Birmingham, 3. Quite a crowd was present to root for the home team. Enthusiasm ran high. The Birmingham boys played excellent ball. Mr. Tayylor has a creditable team. They are scheduled to return next week for another series of games. The outcome of this present series was decidedly in favor of Birmingham, who won two out of the three games. West-Baden, Ind.—In the presence of a large crowd of enthusiastic baseball admirers the Birmingham Giants shut out the crack West-Baden team yesterday by a score of 2 to 0. The series that will be played here promise to be interesting and they are already drawing large crowds. The fast work of the Birmingham Giants shows that they are not amateurs in the national sport. Four games are scheduled to be played before the team leaves for Indianapolis. Mr. C. S. Taylor, the Manager, has pulled through a beautiful record already this season. They have played 15 games, won 12, lost 3, standing 800 per cent. The Eagle Club expects to have a good baseball team this season that will master all teams. Mr. Wm. Alexander, manager, expects great success this season. The officers are: T. B. Cohen, President; Wm. Alexander, Secretary; H. W. Pointer, Treasurer. * * * Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe Jennette and Sam M'Vey are all Negro heavyweights with championship class. They are making the road hard for all comers and are not drawing the color line. We like our Joe Gans. But oh! you Johnson! There are two first-class Negro jokeys riding at Louisville this spring, Lee and Austin, and they are giving the other boys all kinds of trouble. Just watch them. LADIES AID SOCIETY. The Ladies Aid Society met with Mrs. Nellie Seay, Monday, the oldest member of our society and grand specimen of the generation that is fast passing away. Mrs. Seay served an ice-course and it was enjoyed by all. The following ladies spoke in the highest terms of the afternoon meeting: Mesdames C. Ward Ratcliff, Walker, Davis, Carter and Bright, who were visitors. The members stormed the worthy hostess and she was apparently pleased at receiving vegetables, fruits, staple and fancy articles as well as money. The society adjourned to meet Monday next with Mrs. Minnie Streator, 6 Murrell street. --- AND MESDAMES ROSIE MORTON AND MAGGIE BROWN. of College Street, wish your patronage at their RESTAURANT.
