THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. IV. DECORATION ADDRESS Hon. J. W. Grant Speaks to Old Soldiers. AND CITIZENS—GRAVES OF HEROES ADORNED WITH FLAGS AND FLOWERS—BRAVERY OF MEN PICTURED BY SPEAKER—SOUND ADVICE TO YOUTH. After all graves of the heroic dead had been adorned with flags and flowers Commander Taylor, by ringing the bell, called the assembly into the lodge. Miss M. E. Braden led in singing "America." The commander then introduced Lawyer J. W. Grant, who made a very forceful and eloquent address. He said in part: Commander, ladies and gentlemen, I had not expected that I would be called upon to say more than just a word, as there were other gentlemen more eloquent than I on the program. The hour is late and I am thus favored and am thus admonished to be brief. I know you are anxious to be going, however, permit me to say that I deem it an honor to be allowed to say a word on this sad, though joyous occasion. It is sad because it relates to death; joyous because of what was wrought through the death of these. We step lightly with solemn tread as we pass through this city of the dead. You have come forth to-day with flags and garlands gay to place them upon the lowly bed of the sleeping dead. While you lay them here you have watered them with many a tear. Yes, we love them yet and attend them here with sad but fond regret. You sorrow that they are no more, but rejoice with them on that blissful shore. There never again will they muster on gory battle plain. They died that we might live; they labored that we might rest, warred that we might have peace; they were slaves that we might be free, and their struggles, suffering, privations death are the price of the precious boon of liberty we enjoy or should enjoy. Shall we not pursue till our day is done the heroic work of redemption they begun? Their bodies lie out there, but their souls are marching on, beckoning us on to grander and nobler efforts to accomplish the work of the redemption of our race. They call us on to higher fields of liberty and enlightenment. This glorious sacrifice they made that we might be men, not mendicants; they fought that we might be free. But full freedom can only come when our part is done in the work they begun. When black hands were first offered to strike a blow in freedom's cause, they were told that it was a white man's war. But when it was seen that the struggle would be long and perhaps lost to the Union a hundred and eighty-five thousand black breasts were bared to rebel bullets. At Fort Wagoner, Petersburg, Nashville and other battles, when through floods and fire, through clouds of smoke, a hail of bullets, the black man won a name that is indelible on the scroll of fame. While those heroes lived who fought and endured hardness beside these black warriors, they and theirs had some show of fair treatment, but now that they are no more, everywhere and at all times the black veteran and his people are shoved aside, ill treated and ignored. But, my friends, there are battles yet to be won by us no less renowned than those of war. It is ours to take up the work where they laid it down. As the bands of prescription and oppression tightening more and more about us, we must gird on the armor and do our duty in the struggle of might against right. For a time these memorial days called forth the united devotion of the patriots of the nation and thousands of our people came to show their reverence for the precious memory of those brave men who fell devoted to the cause of freedom and whose glorious record is undying, but for slights and rebuffs the line of those who come to honor this day has grown thin, like the ranks of the G. A. R. Prejudice and hate, twin children of the devil, have so increased that the black veteran is no longer acceptable to his white comrades, he and his have been snubbed and thrust aside to make room for those who fought to destroy this nation, and perpetuate (Continued on Page 2.)

The coming of the Sunday-school Congress will do much for Nashville, but one of the latest developments at Congress headquarters concerning the great meeting was the announcement made that a daily religious paper would be published during the sessions. The paper will be known, according to the Secretary's statement as the Congress Bulletin. It will be a three-column, eight-page newspaper, published in the interest of the [Image of a man with a mustache and glasses, dressed in a suit and bow tie, facing slightly to the right.] PROF. N.

It will be distributed among the delegates and visitors, forecasting what will happen through the day, with a review of the preceding day's session. It is understood that this Bulletin will be the official organ of the Congress Movement. The names and addresses of the promoters will appear thereon. The management of the paper, it is understood, will be in the hands of Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, while the Recording Secretary, Prof. R. B. Hudson, will be requested to furnish a complete write-up of each day's session. Extracts from the various discussions of those who will speak on the subjects will appear from time to time. In fact, this will be the first effort on the part of the Baptists to conduct a religious daily newspaper. At any rate, the Negroes of Nashville will be favored with a daily paper of their own. nival of crime as would precipitate the annihilation of the Negro race." "All know that this rs untrue." Mrs. Barnett said. "The lynching record discloses the hypocrisy of the lynchers." Describing the riots at Springfield, Ill., Mrs. Barnett said it was all because a white woman said that a Negro man had criminally assaulted her. Later, Mrs. Barnett said, the woman published a retraction, but the lynched victims were dead. Mrs. Barnett, who has spent several years in the investigation of lynching through the South and West, brought a proposal to the conference that it maintain a permanent bureau for investigation with attendant publicity of all lynchings.

The very first call for volunteer singers brought more than one hundred representing a majority of the churches in the city. They met at Mount Olive Baptist Church, Monday night, all eager and anxious to put on the finishing touch, learn new songs, anthems and get the Congress swing. At the church a chorus organization was perfected in which Mr. B. D. Hudson, of North Third Avenue Baptist Church, was unanimously elected president; Miss Nellie E. King, of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, secretary, and Mrs. A. B. Carter, of First Baptist Church, treasurer. The chorus was given several hundred brand new anthem and song books, and under the skilled direction of Prof. Gray, they launched out for the first real rehearsal. On account of a delay at home Dr. Plus did not arrive until Tuesday, but with his batton, his excellent voice, and his skill in organization of choruses, greeted an increased attendance and began rehearsal in earnest with the following voices from the churches named below: Second Baptist Church—Miss Sadie Williams, Miss Sarah M.

STRONG ADDRESS BY MRS. IDA WELLS BARNETTE—RECOUNTS LYNCHINGS IN UNITED STATES NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT CONDEMNED. That 3,284 men, women and children have been lynched in this country in the last quarter of a century was the assertion of Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett at the National Negro Conference held in New York City a few days ago. Asking why this was permitted by a Christian nation, Mrs. Barnett quoted John Temple Graves as saying, "That the mob stands as the most potent bulwark between the women of the South, and such a car ```markdown ``` nival of crime as would precipitate the annihilation of the Negro race." "All know that this rs untrue," Mrs. Barnett said. "The lynching record discloses the hypocrisy of the lynchers." Describing the riots at Springfield, Ill., Mrs. Barnett said it was all because a white woman said that a Negro man had criminally assaulted her. Later, Mrs. Barnett said, the woman published a retraction, but the lynched victims were dead. Mrs. Barnett, who has spent several years in the investigation of lynching through the South and West, brought a proposal to the conference that it maintain a permanent bureau for investigation with attendant publicity of all lynchings. Publicity, she said, was an effective safeguard. Inherent racial inferiority was declared by Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York, to be a fallacy. Inequality of opportunity and environment made for the difference between the races, the Bishop contended. Disfranchisement of the Negroes was declared by Albert E. Pillsbury, former Attorney General of Massachusetts, to be "a fraud upon the country." "The course of the South," he said, "has made it the affair of every white citizen." "Are the people of thirty-six States willing to be defrauded of their political rights in order that ten States may disfranchise the Negro?" he asked. William English Walling, Secretary of the conference, spoke of the Southern Negro laborer, recognized, he said, as an invaluable asset to that section, but having no rights at all. He compared the employers of labor on the large plantations with the vandal lords of Europe, and said that their interest in the Negro was based largely in how they could preserve him in his present helpless condition and get the most out of him for the least possible money expenditure. William E. St. Clair, Financial Secretary of the Frederick Douglas Hospital at Philadelphia, criticised President Taft for what the speaker said was Taft's change in attitude toward the Negro.

REHEARING PETITION—EX-SHER- IFF ALLOWED TO RETURN HOME — CASE ATTRACTING WIDESPREAD ATTENTION — APPEARANCE NEXT OCTOBER. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—In the cases of former Sheriff Shipp and others, of Chattanooga, charged with contempt of the Supreme Court of the United States, the court today postponed the passing of sentence to pedicit the prisoners to file petitions for a rehearing. The cases therefore go over until next term, the prisoners remaining out on bond. Shortly before noon United States Marshal Dunlap, of the East Tennessee District, brought the prisoners to the court and they were assigned seats in the rear of the room. When the judges had taken their accustomed places Chief Justice Fuller beckoned to the defendants to come forward. Marshal Wright, of the court, announced that, in obedience to the writ of attachment, he produced the bodies of the accused men. Solicitor General Bowers, represent in the Department of Justice, moved for sentence, but Messrs. Chamblee, Clift and Shepperd, of counsel for the men, called attention to the fact that they had only seen the opinion of the court but a few minutes before and asked leave to file a petition for a rehearing. The request was opposed by the Solicitor General, but Chief Justice Fuller announced that the court would take the request under advisement. Thereupon the Justices withdrew for a conference, at the end of which the Chief Justice announced that it had been decided to grant the request, thirty days being allowed in which to file the petition. The defendants in the meantime were remanded to Tennessee for renewal of their bond. The case, in consequence, now goes over until the next term of the court. GENEROUS OFFER. There are some large-hearted people in Nashville who are always anxious and willing to see Nashville forge to the front where she belongs, but sometimes, and on some occasions, it seems as though Nashville, in spite of these people in their midst, is a little clammy, yet there are some who are always on the alert trying to contribute something towards the good of the city. From one of these comes the magnanimous offer anent the entertaining of the Sunday-School Congress which will convene here on Wednesday, of Mr. Humphrey Bowling, President of the Railway Men's Protective Association, with rooms and grounds at Cedar and Tenth avenue, North. Mr. Bowling has just notified Mr. H. A. Boyd, Secretary of the Congress Movement, that the building and the grounds of this association are at the disposal of the officers of the Congress for the entertainment of the delegates; not only the building, but its spacious reading room and lights and the beautiful grounds. Possibly other people will do as much and by the time the Congress opens the officials will not be embarrassed for entertainment. STEWARDESS BOARD ENTER- TAINED. The Stewardess Board No. 2 of Payne Chapel, A. M. E. Church, was elegantly elegantly entertained Thursday eve entertained recently by Mrs. M. Wright, of 716 Smiley street, East Nashville. The meeting was opened with a song, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and prayer by Mrs. S. M. King. Interesting talks in behalf of the Board were given by Mrs. Jno. Grimes and Mrs. Henry McAfee. Music was furnished by Miss Sallie Smith. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with cut flowers and potted plants. After an hour of business a two-course menu was served. The honored guests were Mesdames Jno. Grimes, Henry McAfee, Susie Valentine and Mattie Hall. The Board members present were Mesdames Sarah Harding, Mary Bailey, Anna McCullough, Moselle Johnson, Sallie King, Misses Rosa Johnson and Sallie Smith. The meeting was closed with a song "Why Stand Ye Idle?" The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Anna McCullough, 714 Smiley street. CLASS IN THEOLOGY Fisk University Finishes Year's Work. GRADUATING CLASS HELD EXERCISES LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON—LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT—SPLENDID RECORD OF DEAN HENDERSON. The graduating class exercises of the Theological Department of Fisk University were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Memorial Chapel on the university campus. Four diplomas were awarded and four consecrated, religious, sacrificing men go out to fulfill the commission and carry out the edict from the Savior: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Indeed, the exercises were in every way beyond expectation. The class was larger than ever before in this particular department of the university. At 2:30 Miss Alice Grass played "Aria in D Flat" o. the mammoth pipe organ. The Mozart Society sang the Doxology, after which came the invocation and Scripture reading followed by prayer. Songs—"He shall feed His flock," by Mrs. J. W. Work, and "Come unto Me," by Prof. J. W. Work—were the productions of Handel. A magnificent audience was present to lend encouragement to the four ministers who were going forth into the gospel work. The first oration, "The Trial of Righteousness," by William Bowie Vassar, was taken and described from the life of Job. The speaker made an eloquent and forceful appeal to his hearers, having committed this lengthy oration to memory, he delivered it in a befitting manner. Two orations, "Men of the Hour," by John Charles Fields, and "The Secret of Human Happiness," by Howard Wallace Warner, were excused. But the oration, "The Touchstone of True Christianity," by Scott Washington Crostowhait, made up for the two vacancies, and the audience was amply paid in the class of the delivery and production of the oration, as the entire description was a masterly effort depicted from book of Revelation. The speaker apologized for reading it, but it was done in such a way that the audience was well pleased. The Glee Club sang, "You Hear the Lambs a-Crying." Then Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., and Rev. G. W. Moore, D. D., spoke words of delicitation to the class. Both speakers complimented the school and faculty on such a class and admonished them to go forth in the work of the Lord, not faint-hearted, but with a determination to push the battle to the gate. The Dean of the Theological Department, Rev. G. W. Henderson, D. D., is to be congratulated upon the success of this department. Five years ago Dr. Henderson took charge of the Theological Department of Fisk University, and at that time there was not a student in the department, as there had been no dean for three years. Each year thereafter the enrollment has increased until at the present term twenty-seven students were enrolled, coming from the States of Arkansas, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. During this time eight students have graduated, including the present class. One of the graduates is doing regular religious work on foreign fields. An interesting feature is that most of them are taking the Bachelor of Divinity Course. Of the twenty-seven only eight are taking English. It seems that the Theological Department has caught the inspiration and is making a demand for the best scholarship. The present dean is a man of wide experience, as he has been in the educational work for nearly a quarter of a century. Dr. Henderson is a graduate of the University of Vermont, after which he finished the Divinity Course in Yale, receiving the Hooker Fellowship for the highest mark in 1883. From this scholarship he was able to take a one year post-graduate course at Yale. He spent some time abroad, finishing from the University of Berlin in Germany. In 1889 he was assistant moderator for the Congregational Council, afterwards he came South, pastoring in New Orleans, later being given the head of the Theological Department of Straight University, which position he held for fourteen years, and at the same time he was pastor of the University 2 ——————— Church. During his stay at ba University between forty and took the divinity course, many finish- ing with high honors. It was from Straight University that Dr. Hender- son came to take charge of the Theo- logical Department at Fisk, to bring such glorious results as were evi- denced at the exercises last Sunday. It appears that his personality and high scholarship have attracted men from the medical profession, the city schools and other walks of life into the gospel ministry. Every one in the vast audience was pleased with the exercises and heartily congratulated the graduates, Dean Wright, of the University, and Dean Henderson, of the Theological Department.

Pe ee ee the degradation of the plack Ep, tl black veteran has ¥ s grown it difference so that he does not come to honor the memory of his comrades who have answered the last roll call and he fails to impress this duty of rev- erence upon his children, the rising generation. This occasion ought to be impressed upon our young as a hal- lowed day. Tie old comrades are fast passing to the soldiers’ home above, and what will become of this and emancipation day if we do not im- press their sacredness upon the pres- ent and future generations of our young people? We should teach our children at our knee the lesson of the sacrifice these sleepmg dead made that they might enjoy this glorious day of liberty and enlightment, There are many of our people who would have you forget the past with all its horrors and oppression and de- basement, but like the Jews we should rever it, for only those who have suffered and wept can appreci- ate the blessings of peace and com- fort. I have recently published a book “Out of the Darkness” for the pur- pose of instructing our young people in some of the things the race has had done to them; what they have en- dured and must endure ere they shall be free indeed and be men, and citi- zens, From it they will learn of the travail, pain and long-suffering through which they were born * to freedom. Many things told therein are known to the older people, both colored and white, but the young of either race know nothing of the price paid for what liberty we enjoy. We must teach, write and speak of these things that they may be in- stilled. into the hearts and minds of the generations coming after. I know there are those who would have you believe that all is sunshine and that our path is lined with flow- ers, that there are no dark and low- ering clouds and that there are no thorns amid the flowers, that every day is Sunday and that the obstacles we meet are only myths of the imagi- nation. But in spite of these dreams we must know the dark as well as the bright side of our life. “We know in what a forge and what a heat was shaped the anchor of our hope.” We should not be deceived by false lights in our dark night, to believe that all is well and that we have reached a quiet haven, a sure retreat; for there are hidden rocks and quick- sands along the shore. May no tom, toms, drum beat or bugle blast be able to drown the still voice of warning that comes to us from out the storm, for all is not well. Lord be with us yet lest we for- get, lest we forget. A GRAND SUCCESS. The first social of the Undenom- national Bible Readers’ Association was quite a success, which came off recently at the residence of Rev. S. Frister, 1903 Heffernan street. The President, Rev. S. Frister, opened the exercises by an introduction of the society and Scripture reading. Rev. M. B, Ridley offered prayer. We had present with us Rev. M. B, Rid- ley, Mrs, Cotton, Miss Alberta De- Moss, Mr. Ed Whitaker, Miss Eva DeMoss, Mrs, Della Green, Mrs. Anna Dismuke, Mrs, Mary Broom, Mrs. Rey. E. C, Jones, Mrs, Kev. M. B, Rid- ley, Miss Pearly M. Jones, Mrs. Rev. S. Frister, Misses Josephine and Eliza- beth Frister, Theodore and Benjamin Frister. The President took pains to show the purpose of the institution. That it is not property of any de- nomination, but offers its service to all, That it is not a church and would not assume authority over any one. We are associated to read the Bible and to help others to read it in that connected way by which alone its harmony, beauty and worth may be learned and enjoyed. Rev. B. C. Jones, who holds the office of “prin- cipal reader,” introduced his chart work. All vacant time was filled by select music by Mr, Ed Whitaker and Miss Alberta DeMoss.

Monday morning, May 24, at 3:30 o'clock Mrs. Emma Muirhead died at her home, 29 North Hill street, after a brief illness of a few days. Her death was quite a shock to the em tire community, even though she had no hope of recovering, and expressed herself willing and ready to go. As a wife she was kind, loving and faithful to the end, a mother who loved her children and was kind and affectionate to her children and all around her, Mrs. Muirhead was loved by all who knew her. As a neighbor she was an exception, quiet and agreea- ble. She will be missed and her place hard to fill. She was 41 years and 10 months old, was mother of 15 children, seven of whom survive her, besides a mother, two sisters and one brother. Her remains were carried to her old home at Lebanon, Tenn.

It was the commencement week of the Agricultural and Mechanical College located in Greensboro for the education of the young men. It is perhaps the only real agricultural and mechanical college in the country and the young men who graduate from the institution are doing a great work. It may be said to the credit of many of the states that there are A. & M. colleges for the education of the youth of the race, but they are not confined to that particular branch of work. At the head of the A. & M. College here is Prof. J. B. Dudley, one of the most noted educators of the race, and a man of ability. He has been at the head of the school for a number of years, and is devoted to the work. Each year there are improvements, and larger classes turned out. The commencement exercises started last Sunday morning with the baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. Mr. J. E. King, of Raleigh, rector of the Episcopal church there. This sermon contained some good advice to the young men. He was etiquet and at the same time practical. The college chapel was crowded to its limit to accommodate the large crowd. Several of the city churches suspended services. Sunday night the address to the Y. M. C. A. was delivered by Chas. Stewart, A. M. of Chicago, the newspaper correspondent. A large crown was present. Monday night the exercises of the Agricultural Literary Society took place. There were several orations delivered on the subject and the principal address was delivered by W. S. Hagans, of Goldsboro, who is one of the most successful and prosperous farmers in the state. His address was practical and contained good advice to the young men who were to graduate. Tuesday night, Prof. G. A. Edwards, of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., delivered the address to the Mechanical Literary Society. Prof. Edwards felt that it was a high compliment to be invited to address the literary society in the school from which he graduated but a few years ago. His theme was composed of one word, "Success," which he expressed volumes in the handling of it. He told the young men going out in life how to achieve success and greatness in the world. "Rellability," was held up as the watchword and they were told to take that up with industry and push. Wednesday night it seemed that everybody in Greensboro, and for miles around tried to crowd into the chapel. One of the features of the commencement for several years has been a drama which has been written and staged by Mrs. J. B. Dudley, wife of the president of the Institution. These dramas have been of particular interest because they portrayed some phase of the race question, and told in words of the success and progress the Negro was making for himself. This has had much to do with drawing a large crowd as well as the ability of the author. "The Negro's Quote in the Development of the Country" was the drama Wednesday night and one which will be an important factor in racial development in North Carolina. The A. & M. College song which was used throughout the commencement was also composed by Mrs. Dudley. Every train coming into Greensboro Thursday morning brought large crowds. This was commencement day, and this is the time when the people come to town. The orations of the students were of a high order. Eighteen young men graduated and the address was delivered by Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the News and Observer, Ialeigh, N. C. He made a good address. He spoke to the students of the institute, not asa white men or black men, but as men who must fill their places in the world. Mr. Daniels in addition to being one of the leading editors in the South, is also a great orator. His address Thursday morning was eloquent and scholarly. The diplomas were presented by President Dudley. Prof. Dudley is putting forth a strong effort to have the young men of his race remain in school and become useful men. He could see that the future of the race had much to do with that. He appealed to the people to create a fund or to pay for a scholarship out of which the young men could receive some assistance. Many were the responses to the appeal. One of the largest business concerns controlled by members of the race, the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, sent a check for $25 to apply on a scholarship. "This is what the young men are doing to encourage the race," said Prof. J. B. Dudley. "This is one of the strongest companies in the country. While they are not backed by millionaires, yet they have at the head strong young men, and some of them who own good real estate themselves, and who are prepared to help the race. John J. Merrick, the president, started life as a barber; Dr. Moore, the secretary and treasurer, and all THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909. around worker, while the manager and vice president, C. C. Spaulding, started life as a cook and butler, and now they are doing business. They own as a company good real estate, and are now erecting a building in Columbia, S. C. They have put up the required amount, $10,000, with the Treasurer of South Carolina to do business in the state, and recently had to put up an additional $5,000 on account of the growing business. "Young men, when you enter life, go there to do something. You have it in your power. Do not sit down and wait for something to turn up, but you turn up something." A reception by the Alumni Association followed in the afternoon and evening and the school closed until next fall. EDUCATIONAL BALLY. The educational rally at Spruce Street Baptist Church last Sunday for Roger Williams did not prove to be as successful as hoped for. Much credit, however, is due to those who did work and the Educational Secretary, Rev. William Haynes, and the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University wish hereby to thank those who donated and those who worked so faithfully to raise the amount collected.

Let the People of Nashville, the Congress, Delegates and Visitors From time to time the attention of the people has been called to the Sunday-School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua which is to meet in Nashville next week, opening Wednesday, June 9th. This meeting will be composed of Christian workers who are seeking a better knowledge of God's word and a fuller experience of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. They are coming together as Paul expresses it in Rom. 1:11, 12—"For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me." We know God answers prayer, therefore, we request that all participate in daily prayer. We hope those who attend these meetings will bring their Bibles with them, for the word of God is the sword, the Holy Spirit says: "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Eph. 6:17.) Prayer will be held each day and a general study of the Bible is urged. Sunday-School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua, Henry A. Boyd, Secretary. ANNUAL SERMON TO THE RAIL- ROAD MEN. The members and friends of the Railway Men's Protective Association listened to an eloquent and timely sermon at the St. John A. M. E. Church at the corner of Eighth avenue, North, and Cedar street, last Sunday afternoon. The association met at its hall and donned the official badge of the organization and under the leadership of Mr. Humphrey Bowling, the President, they marched to the church. A great crowd of friends and admirers of this benevolent organization, that has been so helpful to the employees of the various railroads, greeted them there. Interest was at a high pitch and again it was demonstrated that the city at large holds in high esteem the working men, as the railroad men, as a rule, are more generous and hospitable than any other class of working men. Their religious inclination was also demonstrated by the way in which they turned out, as hardly one of the members was absent, except those excused on account of sickness or being out of the city. There were visitors from other cities in the audience. CHURCH DIRECTORY. PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES . Pittsburg Valley . Edgehill . St - Sunday 4 . Sycamore . Stevens St .

FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909. The idea of training the hands has taken hold of the people of this country in a way that is indicative of permanency. The time was when children in the public schools only had to get their lessons well, and be able to recite in a way satisfactory, to the school master, and while it is just as essential now as it has ever been that children be apt and accurate in the study of their text-books, the signs of the times have convinced our most advanced thinkers that to keep pace with the world America must train her youth to work. After reaching this conclusion the next problem to be decided was, at what age should this training begin. It was thought by some to be too much to expect children in the public schools to do manual work with their literary studies, but experiments in this city have proved that children only seven and eight years old have better lessons since manual training has been introduced. The exhibits in the different schools of the city this year are very good. They show that special pains have been taken by the teachers, and that the children are capable of taking in the instructions given. It means more than it appears to from the surface. Some one has said that "an idle mind is the devil's work shop." If this be true, and we believe all will agree that it is, manual training in the public schools will serve to close up thousands of the shops of his satanic majesty. Furthermore, the cry from one end of our country to the other is for trained laborers. When we speak of trained laborers more is meant than mere knowing how to perform a certain class of skilled mechanics. There are thousands of men and women who are experts at manipulating certain kinds of machines or turning cut work artistically, but who have not learned the importance of sticking to their jobs. They are of a restless disposition. Working six days and resting one seems to them a burden, and they insist on being allowed to stop their work to go to every circus or picnic that they hear of. Manual training in childhood adapts the mind to regular habits, and will in a few generations give to America a working class that will excel any in the world. The Negroes of the South are especially in need of this training, for we, of all American citizens, are given to the irregular habit. True, we learned it from the white people of ante-bel- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909 lum days, but it is essential to our own welfare to lay that trait of the white man aside; to do so we need the manual training in the public schools, preceded by special training at home. STATE NORMAL There was held this week in this city a meeting of the State Board of Education and the Text-book Commission. The meeting of both of these boards is of considerable import to the Negroes of the State of Tennessee. It is true that the Legislature settled the fact that there is to be established a State Normal College for Negroes, but the institution has not been established yet, and every citizen owes it to himself and his neighbors to take note of the importance attached to the location of this school. Superintendent Jones cannot see every need of the Negro youth of the state, and again he is burdened with the care of all the state's educational interests, which makes it imperative that the thinking men of the race lend him what aid they can to the end that the Normal for Negroes be established so as to serve the best interests of the Negroes of the state. It is generally conceded that the institution should be located in the central part of the state, but the fact remains that there are some men of our race in this state who will close their eyes to a suggestion for the general good to carry their point. This is a time for brave, honest men to get active, and prove to the world that we are wide awake men in this commonwealth, and that the needs of our children come first of all things. NEGRO CONFERENCES. In the city of New York a meeting was held this week styled the National Negro Conference. The object of the meeting, it seems, was to discuss the status of the Negroes of the United States. The usual program of discussing and adjourning to meet again was carried out. Some good things were said. Yes, many of the subjects discussed were worthy of note, but we doubt the wisdom of going to New York to discuss the South. We are rather inclined to the idea that more good would come from such a meeting in the South than can come from those held a thousand miles away. We feel that the statement made by the professor of one of the Universities in the East is calculated to do the race more harm than anything said by all the other speakers can do us good. Most of those who participated in that meeting know very little of conditions in the South, for their information is gathered from the press, which, we are sorry to say, seldom tells the truth about the Negro. What we need most is that our local conditions be looked into by citizens of the community. We need to first set the Negroes right. Make them see their own weaknesses and try to teach them how to overcome them. Teach the habit of right-living in the home and the national affairs will take care of themselves. GEORGIA RAILROAD CASE. When the public press heralded to the world that there was a strike on in Georgia, and that it was brought about because the officials of the Georgia Railroad had in their employe Negro men as firemen of train engines, the country sat up and took notice. The South has always boasted that the Negro that wanted to work could always find plenty of it to do in this section of the country, whereas he was denied that privilege in the North. But the dispatches indicated that down in Georgia they were about to cause the claim long held up by the southerners to fall flat. The next question to arise was "Will the Negroes take the risk of losing their lives if the railroad company guarantees them protection while at their posts of duty?" The final test came, and the Negroes, true to the blood that is in them, went to their posts of duty as fearlessly as lions. We are informed that out of the first ten trains to be sent out nine were fired, by black men. Then, what happened? The United States government allowed a foreign union labor representative to dictate terms of settlement whereby it appears that the Negroes will be gradually dispensed with and their places filled with white men. The State of Georgia and the government of the United States are sowing seed that will ultimately yield a harvest of miserable corruption. For when a government allows foreigners to come in and dictate how affairs shall be conducted it acknowledges inability to govern itself. SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS. SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS. On the ninth of this month there will assemble in this city the fourth annual session of the Baptist Sunday-School Congress. This movement was started by Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is at the head of the Baptist Publishing House, and like other movements and enterprises started by this tireless worker, is proving a great success. The object of the Congress, as we understand it, is to stimulate Sunday-school work. The citizens of Nashville, those who are actively engaged in Sunday-school work and those who are not, will do wisely to attend the sessions of this Congress. Some of the ablest men and women of the Baptist denomination and of the race will attend this meeting, and deliver addresses on Sunday-school work. We only have to look around to see that there are thousands of people spending their time in idleness on Sundays who could spend that time profitably in some one of the Sunday-schools of our city. Sheriff Shipp has been granted another chance to show why his case should be given another hearing. It will be October before the case will come up before the Supreme Court again. One thing is certain, the Negroes of Chattanooga will not lynch him because he has been granted more time, despite the fact that the evidence shows that he expressed delight at the lynching of Ed. Johnson. We learn from the daily press that a Louisiana judge severely condemned a white man for having lived with a colored woman for twenty-six years. He said it was against Southern traditions and contrary to law. We know all of that, and we know more. It will not require a microscope to find cases in this city that look very suspicious. We cannot understand how some women can live in splendor on no visible means of support. We also know that the winking at these practices will some day change to shedding of tears. Vacation will soon be on in full blast. The streets will be crowded with boys throwing rocks, playing ball and doing everything that boys can think of. We invite some of them to the Globe office. We can help them while away the time. Congress is holding on in earnest. In a few more days we hope they will be forced to use more of the lemonade that seems to please them so well. The people will get that much revenge. Jeffmes says he is the only man able to defeat Jack Johnson. The public would be glad if he would prove it. DR. LEWIS RETURNS TO THE CITY. Dr. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Preachers' Aid Society of the A. M. E. Church, with headquarters in this city, returned to his office after an extended trip through the East. While away Dr. Lewis visited points in Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. He visited several conferences of his church in that section of the country in the interest of his work. When seen by a Globe representative he said his trip was a great success. BISHOP PARKS AND DR. MASON. Nashville had two very prominent visitors this week in the persons of Bishop H. B. Parks, of Chicago, Ill., and Dr. M. C. B. Mason, of Cincinnati.

Sec. 19-Be it further enacted, That the primary elections provided for by this act shall be held at the voting precincts of the wards and civil districts, which at the time have been declared by law as the voting precincts of a county, between the hours of 9 o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m., provided, however, the County Executive Committee shall have the power, in precincts which may require the same to be done, by reason of the occupation of qualified voters, to extend the time of closing the polls to a time not later than 7 o'clock p.m. Such extension of time shall be evidenced by a publication of the Chairman of the County Executive Committee, in a newspaper of the county, and if no newspaper, by poster on the court-house door of the county, made at least ten days before the date of the primary. Qualification. Sec. 20—Be it further enacted, That no person shall be eligible to vote in the primaries provided for by this act, who shall not at the time of the same, be qualified to vote in the next general election held under the laws of the state. (1) Each voter, before voting in the primary, shall produce the evidence required by the general laws of the state, that he has paid the poll tax imposed upon him by law for the year next preceding the primary election; and also to establish, if the registration law prevails in his precinct, that he has been duly registered, in the same manner as in a general election under the laws of the state. (2) The Registration Commissioners, having charge of the registration books of any primary voting precinct where the registration law prevails, shall be required to have and keep, by one or more of its members, from the opening to the closing of the polls, the registration books, or a duly certified copy thereof to be used as evidence of the registration, or non-registration of voters of the precinct. (3) Also, the County Trustee of the county shall have, at each voting precinct, a certified copy of the list of voters in the civil district or ward of the voting precinct, who have paid their poll tax for the preceding year. He "Confessed" (Not). To the Nashville Globe: The Robert Moore episode in Virginia last week clearly proves the justice of the contention that the Negro continues to make that he, as every other member of an American community, is entitled to the benefit of impartial laws equitably or unprojudicially administered. The application of the principles of right and justice to all men alike can nowhere nor at any time be wrong. While on the other hand, if the rules or principles of equity, applied to facts and evidence in any given case whatsoever, are colored or distorted by blind and unreasonable prejudice on account of color, then nowhere nor at any time can such a course be right. Justice, in mythological lore, is represented as being a blindfolded goddess that she may not see and be affected one way nor another by the pomp, splendor or station of the rich nor by the poverty, pittiableness or condition of the poor whose cases she was to adjudge. But such is not true of her in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Here she has slyly slipped away the bandage civering her eyes; and she knows full well when a Negro comes upon the scene. His cause is weighed and when adjudicated is almost invariably found wanting. We started out to say that when the Hines boy was missing, without any positive proof, he was supposed to be murdered and a defenseless Negro was found who was his murderer, and the papers sent it out to the world that he had confessed. "Confessed!" Ye gods! that word has done duty to excuse or reconcile the public to too much bloody work done by mobs. Before the supposed murderer of the supposed murdered boy had been lynched the newspapers heralded it abroad that he had "confessed." Now it turns out that the Hines boy is so far from having had his head cut off, as the papers said Moore "confessed" to having done, that he writes home from his retreat that he is safe and well. Now that this has turned out to be a fact, the papers which said that Moore "confessed," now say that he is deranged. They attempt to be cute in dolging out of the story they have sent out to the world that "he confessed. Since Moore "confessed" to a bold lie told on himself, he is now crazy. which list shall be placed in the hands of the officer, or judges of the election, on or before the opening of the polls of the primary election. (4) The respective counties shall make such compensation for the sald services of Registration Commissioners and of the County Trustee, rendered as above required, as, in the discretion of the County Court may be deemed just and proper. Where to Vote Sec. 21-Be it further enacted, That the electors in the primary shall vote in their districts, as required by the general laws of the state; provided, however, the exceptions contained in the general laws of the state; provided, however, the exceptions contained in the general laws of the state shall preyail in the primary carriers, election, and provided also that mail carriers, by reason of being engaged at the time in actual service of transporting mail, may vote at a precinct in which they are engaged at the time of transportation Sec. 22—Be it further enacted, That it shall be unlawful for any voter in said primary to vote in the same except with the party of his affiliation, but this provision shall not aunily so as to prevent any voter from changing his political affiliation by an open declaration, to that effect made at the time he casts his vote to the judges of the primary, which change shall, by the clerks, be noted on the poll lists. (1) Any voter, desiring to vote in the primary election of either political party, shall, when he casts his vote, state his name, his residence and his political affiliation to the judge of the primary, one of whom will announce the voter's political affiliation in a tone of voice sufficiently distinct as to be heard by the persons present at the primary place. (?) If the judges of the primary election, or any one of them, shall have any doubt of the voter's qualification or party affiliation, or the voter should be challenged, the judges of the primary election shall require of him to establish his right to vote; and no person shall be allowed to vote unless he declares tothe judges his party affiliation, or unless, as before provided, he makes a declaration in god faith of his change of party affiliation. Now in the name of all that is just and fair, what honest person in all the world, in face of the facts in the case, believes that Moore made any "confession" at all? It is the same old scapegoat "confession" capard that has done dirty duty on other occasion. A man who "confesses" to such a dangerous lie, so fraught with direful consequences, is either idiotic, deranged or a "confession" put into his mouth. However deranged Moore was, a mob came very near lynching him. O inconsistency, thou art not a jewel! JADECEE. Brother Ill. Abbeville, Miss., Special to the Nashville Globe. I am in Abbeville, Miss., at the bedside of an only brother, who is very low with dropsy at the heart.

I solicit the prayers of all of the readers of the Globe to the end that my brother might be restored to health. I would have the members and friends of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church to note that I will preach on the morning of the first Sunday in June from the subject, "Christ in the Crisis." The general class services will be held at 3:30 p. m. At night I will preach from the subject, "On the Shore Again." I would gladly welcome all my friends at either or all of the above named services.

The Fisk Literary Club held its last meeting of the year on Friday afternoon, May 28th, with Miss Elizabeth B. Moore and Mrs. C. W. Brown at the home of Miss Moore, 926 Seventeenth avenue, North. This, the "Cravath meeting," was the most largely attended one in the history of the club, there being more than fifty guests and club members present. There was no business save a report from the president, Mrs. P. R. Burrus. After this report had been received the program was entered into with zest. The program consisted of reminiscences of President Erastus Milo Cravath, the first president of the university, and the one who made it possible for Fisk, to rank to-day with the foremost schools in the country for the education of Negro youth. After prayer by Dr. Morrow, the following persons gave short talks that told of some trait of President Cravath's character, or some incident with which he had to do that stamped his memory indelibly upon them: Prof. H. H. Wright, dean of Fisk, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Dr. G. W. Moore, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Miss France Yeomans, Miss Sarah Wells, Miss Jennie A. Robinson, Miss E. J. Terry, Mrs. G. W. Moore, Prof. Dora A. Scribner, Miss Olive J. Lischey, Mrs. D. W. Dunn, Mrs. P. R. Burrus, Miss Alice M. Grass, Miss H. E. Caruthers, Miss Mary B. Chamberlain, Mrs. A. J. Bright, Miss Flora F. Wright, Mrs. W. G. Waterman, Miss Mary E. Spence, Mrs. S. M. Lowe, Miss B. Ruth Parminter, Mrs.C.O. Hadley, Miss Esther J. Pinkard, Miss W. H. McBroome, Miss Luck B. White, Mrs.M. E. Stevens, Miss Janie E. Benson, Miss Lillian Banks, Mrs. R. S. Harris, Miss Fannie Banks. All of these talks were helpful and inspiring. They carried the minds or those who attended Fisk in former years back to their school days when life to them was but one glad, gay song Monday, the 31st, being the day set apart to decorate the graves of those who fought for the preservation of the Union and in view of the fact that President Cravath's body rests among his comrades, the club voted to send a bunch of flowers to lie on his grave and thus tell him by their God-given sweetness how dearly he lives in the hearts of those for whom he labored and among whom he chose to rest until the resurrection morning. As this has been the most prosperous year in the history of the club Mrs. Brown and Miss Moore felt that the social feature at this meeting should not be overlooked. Consequently they served their guests the following elegant menu: Creamed chicken Patty Cases Salad—Tomato—Cucumber, with German Onions and Mayonnaise dressing. Sandwiches—Nut and cheese. Miss Alberta Merrill, Miss Cornelia Blakemore, Misses Frank and Cashin assisted Mrs, Brown and Miss Moore in serving the guests. The souvenirs were small framed photos of President Cravath with cords for hanging of gold and blue ribbon—the college colors. The house was tastefully decorated with potted plants and sweet-smelling spring flowers. The following guests and club members were present: Prof. W. A. Giles, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Prof. H. H. Wright, Dr. G. W. Moore, Dr. C. W. Morrow, Mr. G. S.

The club will meet for another year's work the second Friday afternoon in October. 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 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 fer. Let every one contribute to this necessary effort as God hath prospered him. OUT OF DARKNESS OR DIABOLISM AND DESTINY. A Thrilling Romance of Real Race Life. BY J. W. GRANT.

The meeting called for the pur- pose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co. took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00. The Board of Directors reported to the stockholders that a settlement had been made with them before the New Stock was to be sold. This settlement consisted of a $12,500.00 distribution, accruing from Real Estate and a Surplus Fund to be given in the shape of New Stock, to the Old Stockholders, leaving $3,000.00 as a Guarantee Fund. This is in addition to the 6 per cent Dividend declared at the regular annual meeting on January 22nd, 1909. We want to place in the hands of the masses our New Stock. Dividends and distributions have been made to the old Stockholders, since the organization of the bank to an amount of over twice the original value of the Old Stock. This fact in itself is sufficient to recommend our New Stock, for with increased Capital we will be able to realize greater profits. We received deposits and subscriptions to New Stock by mail, and pay 4 per cent on Time. Deposits.

When the claim is made for a real up-to-date, live, well-printed, well-edit- ed, clean newspaper, you will have to refer to the Nashville Globe. It is be- ing praised and testimonials from re- presentative men, scholars, business men, men who know-what a newspaper is, but somebody will, no doubt, ques- tion this. We would only have to re- fer them to one of the hundreds of men, who have commented upon the able production that the readers of the Nashville Globe are favored with, to convince them that it is no {dle gos- sip. In a letter from Indianapolis, Ind., under date of April 27th, ad- dressed to the editor of the Nashville Globe, came the following: “I am in receipt of the copy of the Nashville Globe (Greater Nashville Edition). I have taken time to read it from the first to the last page, inclusive, and I find that it is an up-to-date journal. In fact, it is first-class in every respect ‘and its news is worth while reading. One can well afford to leave off his regular business for a time to look ‘over the columns of the Globe, > eause of the fullness and the news it ‘bears. And, too, sir, in my opinion, ithe Globe is the largest weekly to its in circulation, just entering its fourth year and then getting out a twenty-four page edition. Its growth is astonishing, but when you find such able men as are represented by those who are behind this paper and who are united in pushing this journal, it {s but natural that things would liven up in the journalistic field. I am send- ing my subscription for this journal. “Yours truly, “G. WM. WARD.” The writer of this letter is pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of Indianapolis. The Globe has received other letters equally as pleasing, bear: ing out the statement that we have the very best weekly paper ever offered for the money. You might get in line with others, and if you do not care to read it here at home send it to your friends. It is always worth the while. NASHVILLE GLOBE, 447 Fourth Avenue, North, BANK DIRECTORY.

Among the numerous denomina- tional schools that have been before the public as the leading educational institutions, none is Detter known to the people of Nashville for thorough- ness and for real worth than the Al- len University, located at Columbia, S$. C. This school is one of the stwong institutions of the A. M. E. ‘Church, and was organized in 1880. Located as it is in one of the prosper- ous cities of the South, it comes in for a goodly share of attention. The invitations sent out for the com- mencement exercises for 1909 state that it is the twenty-ninth annual commencement and that it was held in Coppin Hall on the university cam- pus, The exercises began on Thurs- day, May 27th, and ended Thursday, June 3rd, The invitations show an extremely large class, In the Theo- Jogical Department there were five graduates receiving the degree of B. D., while three others were candi- -dates for diplomas and four candi- dates for certificates. As usual the ‘Normal department was larger than any other class. The exercises are reported to have been interesting and entertaining, The baccalaureate ser- mon was preached by the president and the annual sermon by Rev. S. F. Flegler, of Sumter, S. C. The Liter- ‘ary Society was addressed by Rev. N. C. Gleaves, of Columbia, 8. C. It is interesting to note that in most of the schools Nashville is either repre- sented or lays some particular claim upon some member of the faculty. At Allen University the president is Rev, ‘W. D. Chappelle, A. M., D. D., well known in Nashville, as he spent about eight years in this city as sec retary of the A. M. BE, Sunday-School Union. Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilber force, Ohio, is president of the Board of Trustees. The Globe is indebted ‘to the Allen Student for the invita tion. NASHVILLE NEGRO GETS CASH. Court Awards Mother's Estate to G. W.

The court in handing down the decision condemned Walk er in terms exceedingly severe, an¢ emphasized the fact that his living with the Negress was in violation of thel aws of the state, adding “anc the public policy of the Southern civ flization, the integrity of the whit yace in the South, demands the em forcement of the law.” Judge Allen, who was recently en gaged in the night rider cases at Wa verly, Tenn., came down to prosecuts the contest in behalf of Gambell, Mr. Gambell is well known in thi city, and his many friends will be de lighted to learn of his success.

(Continued from Page 1.) teenth amendment; equal educational opportunities and right to the ballot on the same terms with other citizens in every State in the Union, were among the more important recommen- dations embodied in the platform adopted at the closing session. ‘The nearest hope lies in the imme- diate and patiently continued enlight- enment of those elements of the com- mon people that have been inveigled into the campaign of oppression. ‘The spoils of persecution will not and can- not fall into the hands of the poor classes. On the contrary, peonage, enslavement of prisoners, persecution of trade unionists, the unjust and an- tiquated poll tax and even disfran- chisement are already the portion of large bodies of whites in many South- ern States. In. addition to the platform two res- olutions were adopted, one on “indus- trial discrimination” and one on “ed- ucation.” ‘The resolution on “educa- tion” precipitated a debate when someone proposed to eliminate the word “Negro,” making the document applicable to all. After discussion the resolution was amended so as to apply to Negroes “and all others,” and thus adopted. Emphasizing the fact that private schools and philanthropy will never adequately educate the Ne- ero, the resolution says: “We demand for the Negroes and all others a free and complete education, whether by city, State or Nation; a grammar school and industrial training for all and technical, professional and aca demic education for the more gifted.” ‘The resolution on “Industrial Dis crimination says in effect that there Jis a ecrspiracy both North and Soutt to deny the black man the right t work. “The current strike in Geor | gia,” it says, “is not merely that the | Negro be displaced, put that prover and efficient men be made to surren der their long followed means of live lihood to new and inefficient compe | itors.” || Gov, Hoke Smith, of Geargia, an Jan, Atlanta newspaper are censure '|for “fostering” such movenents, an || in conclusion the resolution calls upor -|the Nation to “express its condemng -|tion and contempt for those who ar ,|at the bottom of this wholesale cam | paign of blood and plunder, to join i _|an effort*to punish this crime of lead | ing a Nation deliberately into the hot rors of racial war.” 3 The-report of the Committee 0’ "| Permanent Organization was adopte .| providing. for the creation of a pel -|manent body to strrke for the Ne :|gro’s. rights.
