THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. DELEGATES FROM ALL PARTS PRESENT. Few States Not Represented at Meeting. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH SCENE OF GREAT ACTIVITY—SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS DISCUSS PLANS OF CONDUCTING SCHOOL — THE WORK TAKEN UP IN ALL OF ITS PHASES—PROMINENT SPEAKERS DELIVER ADDRESSES AT EACH SESSION—BOARD MEETING OF NATIONAL CONVENTION ASSEMBLES WITH CONGRESS — NASHVILLE STIRRED FROM CENTER TO CIRCUMFERENCE. The fourth annual session of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua assembled at 10:30 o'clock in the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor. Preceding the opening of the Congress, Rev. Dr. Boyd took occasion to speak of the tablets and pencils furnished by the Publishing Board and urged all present to provide themselves with them, as this is a Chautauqua assembled to study methods for the betterment of our Sundayschools. Use these, take notes, carry the information back to your schools and help the people. Rev. C. H. Clark called the meeting to order and thanked those present for their presence and expressed the hope that this would be the best session in the history of the Congress. Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., the musical director, announced that the first number to be sung was "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." The congregation joined heartily in the singing of this opening number. Chairman Clark took peculiar pleasure, said he, in introducing the Rev. J. F. Thomas, D. D., of Chicago, to conduct the devotions. Dr. Thomas was present four years ago at the organization of this Congress and served in the same capacity. Though modest, unassuming, yet dignified in all his bearing, no man in all this country had done more for the cause than Dr. Thomas. He has baptized more than 7,000 persons during his ministry and stands as a giant for the denomination in his city, Chicago. The 91st Psalm was read by Dr. Thomas as the Scripture lesson. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Louisiana. "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds," was sung, being led by Dr. Plus and the choir. Chairman Clark in a few words tendered his church to the use of the Congress and introduced Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, to preside at the morning session. Dr. Robinson in taking charge thanked the pastor in behalf of the Congress for the use of this beautiful house of God, paid a glowing tribute to the work of Dr. Clark as pastor of this church and concluded by calling to the rostrum Dr. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention, who was asked to respond further in behalf of the Congress. Dr. Morris came forward amidst applause and congratulated the promoter, Dr. Boyd, on the work that this Congress has accomplished. The principles of Christianity will yet rule in this great nation of ours. Everything points to the betterment of our condition and to the general uplift of my people. I believe that many of the problems which we discuss and try to solve belong to the God of the universe and if left to him, he will solve to the satisfaction of all the people of this world. He congratulated the Congress on the work it is doing, saying that "No other organization among us can and will do this work. Thirty-five years have I been laboring in this field and if I am spared thirty-five years more, I will continue to be used for my people." Dr. J. M. Frost, Secretary of the Southern Baptist Sunday-School NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909. Board, was introduced and made quite an acceptable address. He congratulated the Negroes in this effort to have this Congress and expressed the hope that it would do much to help the people among whom you labor. A high compliment was paid Dr. R. H Boyd in his effort to publish and run this great plant of the Baptists, the greatest and noblest thing any man has ever done for any race or people. If a comparison were to be made between Dr. Boyd and Dr. Booker T. Washington in their work for the uplift of their people, we would have to place Dr. Boyd first—not that he wished to detract from any man but because of what is being brought to pass, Dr. Boyd would have to be placed first. By special request the choir sang for Dr. Frost the Congress anthem, which elicited much applause. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac was presented and gave the object of the Congress, outlining the same on the blackboard. The following committees were named: Enrollment—Henry A. Boyd, Tennessee; Prof. J. M. Coldwell, Texas; Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, Georgia. Program—Rev. W. S. Billington, Tennessee; Rev. W. P. McKinney, Florida; Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas, Ohio; Rev. G. Wm. Ward, Indiana; Mr. Wm. Harrison, Oklahoma; Mr. W. H. Hurse, Missouri; Prof. W. T. Poole, Alabama. Finance—Rev. Wm. Beckham, Tennessee; Rev. E. M. Griggs, Texas; Mrs. L. V. Mebane, South Carolina; Rev. E. D. Hubbard, Mississippi. Afternoon Session. The National Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua reassembled at 3:30 with Rev. Dr. Hubbard, of Miss., presiding. An excellent song service was conducted by Dr. Pius, Musical Director. Praise service was conducted by Rev. J. T. Davis, of Mississippi. Dr. R. H. Boyd made a statement as to how the blackboard would be used after the reading of each paper and asked the Rev. J. A. Mitchell of Mississippi to act as critic in the absence of Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, who was attending the Executive meeting of the National Convention. Miss Lucy Booker was introduced and read an excellent paper on "The National Baptist Sunday-School Congress: Its Origin and Purpose." The paper was discussed by Rev. Drs. Simms, Davis and others. Rev. W. E. Stewart, of Little Rock, Ark., read a paper on "The Modern Sunday-school: its origin and methods." The paper was well received and it was agreed that the discussion on it be had Thursday morning. Dr. Boyd spoke on the statistics of the Bartists, stating that there are about 19,000 Negro Baptist churches and that the Publishing Board had filled more than 23,000 orders during the second quarter, thus showing more Sunday-schools than churches. After some announcements, the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. E. M. Griggs, Texas. Night Session. The Congress re-assembled at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Plus conducted the song service. The devotions were conducted by Rev. J. F. Walker, of Ohio. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Foster, of Kentucky. Dr. C. H. Clark, presiding, introduced by Mr. Harrison Drake, Tennessee, who read an excellent paper on "The Adults in the Sunday-school." Welcome addresses were delivered by Rev. H. M. Burnes and Mr. D. A. Nart. Mr. Hart spoke in behalf of the A. M. E. Sunday-schools of the city. Both addresses were thoughtful and well received by the Congress. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary of the Women's Convention was introduced and responded to the welcome address. Miss Willie Hurt read a helpful paper on "The Teachers Opportunity in the Sunday-school." Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., was next introduced and delivered a helpful and practical address. The prayer and Bible study hour was set from nine to ten each morning of the Congress. After some announcements and collection the benediction was said by the Rev. Dr. Wm. Beckham. Second Day's Session. The morning session was opened at 10:30 o'clock with the Rev. Dr. J. B. Greene, of Florida, presiding. Dr. Green conducted the devotions. Prayer was offered by Rev. P. R. Washington, of Texas. A special song service was conducted by Dr. Pius. Ia his opening address Dr. C. H. (Continued on Page 8.) A. H. REV. C. H. PARRISH, D.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE PEARL HIGH SCHOOL. Twenty-two Graduates Receive Deplomas. RY MAN AUDITORIUM FILLED WITH NASHVILLE'S BEST PEOPLE—PROCESSIONAL MARCH A CHARMING SCENE — OPENING CHORUS BRINGS FORTH AP PLAUSE — SALUTATORY ADDRESS WELL RENDERED—VAL EDICTORY EFFORT GREAT SUCCESS—GLEE CLUB OF PEARL HIGH SCHOOL RENDERS CHOICE SELECTIONS — P.R.O.F. F. G. SMITH PRESENTS CLASS TO DR. LEE9. Last night at the Ryman Auditorium in the presence of a very intelligent and very appreciative audience twenty-two graduates from the Pearl High School of this city received their diplomas. It was at the annual Commencement of the school which is the Alma Mater of no small number of Nashville's energetic citizens, hence these commencement exercises attract a larger attention than any other like exercises from the vast number of educational institutions in and about the city of Nashville. Again the Ryman Auditorium, better known as the Gospel-Tabernacle, is itself a spacious meeting place calculated to give comfortable entertainment to a large audience in summer or winter. The high school alumni, numbering as it does several hundred, take a deal of interest in all that pertains to the school, and thus the Pearl High School Commencement is on the lips of thousands of people several months before the closing of the school. The commencement this year marked the successful ending, or, in other words, the first year of manual training and domestic science in all of the schools. Mush has been said about this new department of the city schools, but it has never been doubted that it was a long-felt want, and that the city of Nashville, the vast number of school children, and hosts of loving parents were in hearty sympathy with any thing that tends to the betterment of --- their children. It was several years ago that the statement was made that much more improvement should be made in the city schools by the Board of Education for Negro children as the Negroes themselves are always in hearty accord and sympathy with educational improvements. From time to time they have not only shown a disposition to pay increased taxes in city, county and state, but they have taxed themselves to support these institutions. The High Schools lend inspiration to increased educational activities. The entire faculty, consisting of Prof. F. G. Smith, Principal; G. E. Washington, Professor of Mathematics; H. A. Cameron, Professor of Science; Miss L. T. Jackson, Professor of Latin; and Miss E. J. Terry, Professor of History, has worked assiduously, the result of which was seen last evening to the general satisfaction of all. There was quite a number of visitors in the audience from many sections of the United States attracted by the Sunday-school Congress, who likewise saw what Nashville could do and what she is doing for her young men and women in the public school. These twenty-two young people, starting out under such bright auspices, inspired the people as never before. From the opening chorus, "Over the Meadows Fair," mixed voices, there was a continuous and prolonged applause after each rendition so perfect were they and so well received on all hands. The salutatory address, "Thinking for Thinkers" by M. E. Jackson, came just on the heels of the invocation. The next was a duet, "Two Pearls of Love" (Pinsuti), Miss Geneva M. Bender and Miss Florence M. Allison. The valedictory address, "Are We Willing to Pay the Price?" was delivered by Braxton R. Murrell. Then came the Glee Club of the Pearl High School which rendered several pleasing selections. The Commencement itself has proved a valuable adjunct to the city's educational interests. The diplomas were presented by Dr. R. B. Lees, President of the Board of Education, to the following members of the class: Andrew Jackson Allison, Overton Carter, Deo Vinaldo Darden, Mansfield E. Jackson, Edward L. Kinney, Braxton R. Murrell, Eugene L. Taylor, Leonidas Douglas Polk, George Hilliard Upshaw, Susie Ophelia Alexander, Lou Willie Baugh, Estelle Georgia Bright, Mary Agnes Cheers, Lucile Coachman Gleaves, Lotie Dale Haygood, Maude Sophronia Johnson, Velma Mae Mosley, Amanda Belle Perkins, Mabel Clair Northern, Beulah Lea Perkins, Edwina M. Smith. The closing chorus, "Life of Youth, Valse de Concert" (Gelbel), mixed voices, was rendered in a very pleasing manner. The manual training department of the city schools has been conducted by Prof. Hardy S. Keith, a specialist. (Continued on Page 8.) No. 23. STATE DOCTORS ASSEMBLE IN FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION. First Baptist Church Place Of Gathering. PRESIDENT BURT, OF CLARKSVILLE, OPENS SESSION PROMPTLY—NUMBER OF PAPERS READ DURING FIRST DAY'S SESSION —WELCOME MEETING ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT—FREE CLINIC THURSDAY MORNING AT COLORED INFIRMARIES—DEEP INTEREST MANIFESTED BY THE PEOPLE — DOCTORS MAKING CLOSE STUDY OF CONDITIONS—PLANNING FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS. The fifth annual session of the State Medical Association of Negro Physicians of Tennessee assembled at the First Baptist Church Wednesday, June 9. Dr. R. T. Burt, of Clarksville, president, called the meeting to order and the members got down to business in a few minutes thereafter. A number of very interesting papers was read at Wednesday's session of the State Association of Colored Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists and Pharmacists of Tennessee, among them being "Tuberculosis the Negro's Most Cruel Foe," with a plea for early diagnosis, by Dr. Robert T. Burt, of Clarksville, the President of the association; Dr. T. H. Price, "Cystitis;" Dr. C. V. Roman on "Some Important Differential Diagnoses;" Dr. H. M. Green, "Gallstones," and Dr. G. C. Harden on "Cholera Infantum." At night a programme was rendered at the First Baptist Church welcoming the visitors to the city, and a representative gathering was present. The First Baptist Church choir furnished music which had been specially prepared for the occasion. The welcome address on behalf of the citizens was delivered by Rev. Preston Taylor. On behalf of the legal profession W. A. Crostswale spoke in part: "Often the doctor has a more salutary influence in a community than the minister, thus a great responsibility is falling upon him. Have faith in your race, faith in your country and faith in God." Prof. J. I. Watson made the address of welcome in behalf of the teachers and stated that the Negro physician was a large factor in helping to uplift his people and humanity at large. On behalf of the ministry Rev. Ellington welcomed the members of the convention and Dr. C. O. Hadley welcomed them on behalf of the medical profession. Responses were made by Dr. R. S. Fields, Mason, Tenn., for West Tennessee; Dr. T. W. Stephens, Columbia, for Middle Tennessee, and Dr. J. A. Mason, Chattanooga, for East Tennessee. Thursday morning clinics were held at Wilson's Infirmary and Mercy Hospital, lasting from 6:30 till 12 o'clock, after which the convention again reconvened at 2 p. m. for business. On Thursday night a banquet was given to the visiting delegates at Odd Fellows' Hall. The affair was conducted on a high plane, and reflected credit on the medical profession of this city. The association consists of members of the medical profession from all parts of the State. Between thirty and forty delegates were present at the meeting, and their discussions showed that the Negro doctors of Tennessee are alive to the needs of the people. Several of the largest cities in the State were bidding for the next annual session. CARD OF THANKS.

From grateful hearts, CLINTON AND ELLA BEAN NEARLY A HALF CENTURY AS A SCHOOL. The Fortieth Commencement of Roger Williams University was held in her new chapel. The chapel was crowded in every part by students and their friends, and the question of work room was much in evidence. The weather was ideal throughout Commencement week and especially was this true of Commencement day.

R. H. BOYD, Secretary. 123 Second Ave. N. Nobleville Town THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909 and anxious faces the great throng sat quietly in their seats wishing the hour to speed on when they should hear the most interesting program in the history of the school under the New Regime. The orations by the college graduates, Miss Viola Mai Martin and John Wiley Baird, were both impressive and forceful. The annual address by Rev. G. A. Lofton, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., was in all its phases opportune and instructive. Dr. Lofton has erected a monument to his memory in his "character sketches" that will ever live in the hearts of his fellows when his body lay molten in the clay. His deliberate and philosophic manner of speech and apparent spontaneity of thought caught the attention of his hearers and impressed them with such wholesome thoughts and advice that every one went away feeling that such words can only be uttered by men of broad experience. ATHLETICS. Athletics in American colleges is becoming more and more a necessity because of the fascinating effect it has upon the student body and the physical development of all who take part. While the enthusiasm and merriment of athletics in a school tend to the bringing back of all the present student body, and the causing of others to enter the ensuing year, yet athletics can be carried too far. All who are interested in college sports know of the fate of D. T. Griswold, the famous oarsman of the Yale crew, in 1908. Griswold, a man of great strength, collapsed in a race last June and died before the mile mark was reached. Not long since the champion long distance runner of Harvard College was examined and it was found that his heart was much beyond the normal size and the physician said that it had now become imperative that he keep up his athletics, for if he should drop the matter suddenly the effect would be disastrous on the over-stimulated, unduly enlarged heart. With reference to the death of his son, a prominent business man of Boston said that he did not doubt but that his son would have been alive to-day, had it not been for the so-called athletics. He further said that his son was a powerful lifelong, a football player and an all-round athlete, but overexercise brought on heart trouble and shortened his days. When athletics takes foremost place in a school of any kind, it is no longer a virtue, but a vice. But athletics, holding its proper relationship to other phases of college life, has its moral bearing. When a team has won the most of her games and feels that she is king over land and sea, it is then that her "understanders" are knocked out and defeat inevitably overtakes her; on the other hand, when a team has lost the most of her games and feels that there is no hope of victory, it is then that she springs forth and wins. Three years ago when Yale had won more than 90 per cent of her games and it had been predicted that she was the invincible of the season, the Mighty Son of Eli were indulgently defeated by a very small school, a second ratio as to athletics. Hence athletics tends to bring down the high and haughty and to lift up the lowly and dejected. In other words, it imposes upon the athlete the atroistic spirit and makes him know that there are others. Athletics took real form at Roger Williams University October, 1908. With Messrs. A. A. Bennett and J. W. Baird as President of the Athletic Association and Manager of the Football Team respectively, the team was equipped with all the necessary paraphernalia and the sporting public was at least informed that Roger Williams was again upon the carpet to defend her colors in championship contests. Though the team drank continually from the bitter cup of defeat, yet it is to be remembered that this cup is almost always found in all athletic beginnings. Howard and Shaw Universities had their three and five years respectively of woful defeat. Atlanta Baptist College, now touted to be the champions of the South, patiently drank of this same cup for four long years. The history of athletics at Roger Williams, both as to the standard and the gentlemanly conduct of the players, has been ever on a higher plane which tends to the moral as well as the physical development of the players. As time passes and the team develops abreast with other phases or life here at Roger Williams it is hoped that athletics at Roger Williams University will, in the near feature, take its former place. TWO IMPORTANT ADDRESSES. The address of Miss Ida McFall Grimer, '01, Cedar Hill, Tenn., titled "Self-help," was delivered in an unostentatious manner, nevertheless those who heard it gleaned many good thoughts from her scholarly discussion of the subject. Prof. E. W. Benton, A. B., '89, Nashville, Tenn., represented the College Alumni. That Prof. Benton is a scholar of eloquence as to delivery and an able speaker, there is no doubt, and all who heard him will verify the assertion. He resorted to the Odes of Horace, the Sonnets of Shakespeare, the wisdom of Socrates time after time, which gave force and power to his very able address. THE GLOBE IS THE BEST. When the claim is made for a real up-to-date, live, well-printed, well-edited, clean newspaper, you will have to refer to the Nashville Globe. It is being praised and testimonials from representative men, scholars, business men, men who know what a newspaper is, but somebody will, no doubt, question this. We would only have to refer 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 idle gossip. In a letter from Indianapolis, Ind., under date of April 27th, addressed 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, because of the fullness and the news it bears. And, too, sir, in my opinion, the Globe is the largest weekly to its age 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 is but natural that things would liven up in the journalistic field. I am sending my subscription for this journal. The writer of this letter is pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of Indianapolis. The Globe has received other letters equally as pleasing, bearing 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. TO RESTRAIN NEGRO PYTHIANS. Some interesting litigation, affecting one of the leading fraternal organizations of the state and world, will probably be launched in the no distant future. The fraternal organization to be thus affected is none other than the Knights of Pythias, and the important question to be raised will be whether or not the so-called Colored Knights of Pythias have any right to exist as an organization and whether or not they have the right to use the name and emblems of the fraternity. As is known, the order of Knights of Pythias was chartered by special act of Congress at the time of its institution which dates back to 1864. The first constitution of the order provided as one of the requisites to membership that the applicant should be "a white male," and this provision has been retained in the organic law ever since, so that under the charter and constitution of the order it is impossible for any one except a white person to be legally a Knight of Pythias. This question is now before the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of that state having obtained a perpetual injunction against the so-called Colored Knights of Pythias from using the name and emblems of the order. The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court by the Colored Knights, who lost in the court below. At the recent convention of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, held last month in Nashville, the Grand Chancellor was instructed to appoint a committee of three to act in conjunction with the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal with discretionary power to take such legal steps as they might deem proper to protect the use of the pave and emblems of the order in this state. That committee, which has just been appointed, consists of Messrs. E. L. McNeilly, John R. Aust and LeRoy McGregor, all of this city, who will act in conjunction with State Grand Keeper of Records and Seal W. D. Fox, of Tullahoma, Tenn. It is understood that in all probability this committee will in the near future file a bill of injunction in Chancery and thereby raise this interesting and important question to Pythians in Tennessee. "UNCALLED" BY DUNBAR. We have less than one-half dozen of these rare books on hand. If your collection of Dunbar's work is short of this we would advise you to purchase now as the book is out of print. REGISTRAR OF TREASURY POSITION. It has been stated on good authority that a Tennessee man will likely succeed W. T. Vernon as Registrar of the Treasury at Washington, D. C. This tip comes from inside circles and direct from Washington. The question is being asked, "Can it be connected with the persistent rumors that have reached Nashville of late connecting one of the leading Republicans of the State of Tennessee, a man with a clean political record, honest, loyal, and true to the principles of the grand old party?" The gentleman so spoken of resides in the city of Nashville. He is none other than the Hon. James Carroll Napier, Cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League. With this, other news has reached Nashville from the national capital which if it can be connected would look like a confirmation of the rumor and would lend much to the general belief that Mr. Napier is being considered. One thing is certain and has been evident for some the party could not give a greater honor to Tennessee than to select and reward one of her sons with such a position of honor. It is quite true that the Republican party has never accorded Mr. Napier justice nor has it heretofore shown that it was grateful for the splendid services rendered all these years regardless of conditions that might have existed in state or nation. Whether it has been because he would not accept anything or whether what has been offered him was not commensurate with his dignity is a matter that possibly he and those on the inside alone can tell. But it is a foregone conclusion that if he is to be offered the Registrar of the Treasury, a position he so ably deserves and one that he could fill with credit, being well fitted for it after years of experience in the financial world as cashier of one of the most progressive banks in the South which of itself is an excellent testimonial, together with the fact that the solid Tennessee delegation at Washington irrespective of party is favorable to him, is one great advantage in his favor. Then again, the Republican Party through its state as well as national organizations would put a balm on the inflicted wound given to the Negroes of this state four and two years ago respectively, in case it should accord this member of the party from Tennessee this recognition. It will be remembered that some years ago Mr. Napier was an aspirant for the position of Recorder of Deeds, but owing to disorganization and inability to unite the state delegation the late B. K. Bruce landed ahead of him. Later on he was offered a consulate position in South America by the Ex-President, Roosevelt, but at that time he declined, giving as a reason that his business connections and interests would not permit him to absent himself from the United States for two, three, or four years. Whoever enters the contest for this position, however, must reckon with the splen- TERMS TO SUIT EVERYBODY. We Can Furnish Your Home Complete from Parlor to Kitchen.

HILARY E. NOWSE. did record made by the Hon. Mr. Napier, who can count his grandparents back as Tennesseans, whose parents before him were loyal Republicans, he himself having been reared in the State of Tennessee building upon the foundation laid by parents and grandparents. The entire state has relied upon him to represent them in politics, church and financial affairs, and national gatherings. It can not be said of him that he has failed to represent in a clean, honest and able way. In the councils of the party he was the foremost and original Taft man in this "Volunteer State," and perhaps the first colored man in the nation to come out and boldly espouse the Taft cause over his own signature, yet his modesty prevents his making any claim whatever. When seen by a Globe reporter and asked concerning these rumors, Mr. Napier simply remarked that he had been a life-long Republican and had attempted to do his whole duty as he saw and understood it. He declared that he had never received anything from the party and that on all occasions he had spent his private means to see that the Tennessee organization was kept alive and that the proper recognition was accorded her at home and abroad so far as the Republicans were concerned. A representative of the Globe approached Mr. Napier on the same subject immediately upon his return from the last board meeting of the Anna T. Jeanne Fund which he has the honor of being the Tennessee member, which, of itself, is a distinguished position to occupy and which bespeaks much for him, a board that has as one of its members President Taft; but Mr. Napier on this occasion would not talk for publication. It is a general belief that with such facts to rely upon and such a record as held by the distinguished Tennessean and citizens of Nashville, that the sailing will be smooth and the position ought to be tendered him as Registrar of the Treasury of the United States.

PHONE, MAIN 1096 NASHVILLE, TENN. NATIONAL BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS Religious Workers From All Over the United States Holding Sessions in Nashville, Tenn. Nashville, Tenn., June 9.—Nashville, the capital city of Tennessee, is entertaining the most distinguished gathering of Sunday-school and young people's workers that ever assembled in the United States. The delegates came from every part of the country. This is the fourth annual gathering and from present indications will eclipse both in point of attendance and interest the previous sessions. The entire city is a unit in welcoming and entertaining these religious workers. The sessions are being held with Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Cedar street. The opening was elaborate in every respect, and the welcome the delegates are receiving makes it possible for the Congress Movement to take on new life and cover a more fertile field of labor. The Committee on the Assignment of Homes succeeded in sending out all of the assignment cards prior to the arrival of the delegates, and to the surprise of all, yet to their convenience, they left the railroad stations and went direct to their stopping-places. The first day's session of the Sunday-school Congress was conspicuous for the presence of almost the entire Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, which is here for the purpose of making its program. Presiding over this distinguished body of religious workers is Rev. Clark, D.D., pastor of the church entertaining the Congress. Principal among the speakers to-day is Rev. R. H. Boyd, D.D., LL.D., organizer of the Sunday-School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua. The officers of the Congress are as follows: Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., from the B. Y. P. U. Board; Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board, is Blackboard Critic; Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark, Recording Secretary; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., Chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board and President of the Congress, and Henry A. Boyd, Secretary of the Congress Movement. One of the most charming features of this religious gathering is the religious subjects that are being discussed touching every phase of Sunday-school work. These subjects will no doubt be uplifting and inspiring to thousands of missionaries, educators and Sunday-school workers. Another feature of the meeting is the music furnished by a chorus of one hundred voices, under the skilled direction of Rev. N. H. Pius, D. D., Springfield, Ohio, singing songs which are the production of Negro brain throughout the United States. The most attractive feature of this meeting will be the great Sunday-School Missionary Mass-meeting to be held at the Ryman Auditorium on next Sunday, of which Rev. Charles T. Walker, D. D., of Augusta, Ga., will be the central figure. Already it is calculated that six thousand people will listen to this distinguished and eloquent divine give out advice and instruction along religious lines. CARE OF TEETH IMPERATIVE At a recent meeting of a dental association held in this state, in the city of Memphis, initial steps were taken to provide for a general inspection of the teeth of school children. It has been revealed by years of observation that much of the trouble experienced in many individuals arising from said source comes from the neglect of the teeth in early years. It has also been proven that symptoms of various pathological conditions, which have as a final result serious developments in the body, arise from mouths unsanitary and otherwise. Besides faulty dentition, which causes much agony and inconvenience, and often burden the patient in after years, may be easily corrected by due apprehension and treatment in childhood. Aside from all the above-named facts such a venture would serve to teach children how to begin at the right time and give proper attention to the care of their teeth. It is such a common sight, yet it ought to be a rare one, to see young men and women, some in their teens and others just over the period of eruption, with unsightly mouths—elongated and missing teeth—which they not only exhibit to their bashfulness, but prevent the proper mastification or food giving THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909. place to the primary causes of indigestion and its allied ailments. There are many reasons why such a step is important and necessary: one of the principal ones is that it is not possible to remove all the offending substances that collect upon the teeth and serve as a shelter for the microorganism which rapidly destroy them with a tooth brush. This can only be done by the assistance of the dentist. In short the wisdom of such a movement is so easily seen and so important and necessary that it is quite likely that it will not meet with much, if any, opposition when brought before the legislature for enactment. As the effects of civilization are seen as much in personal improvement as in industrial progress it is quite likely that Negroes will be interested in the effort and lend their moral support. There is hardly another race of people having as large a per cent, of its members with disfigured features caused by the improper care of the mouth and teeth than Negroes; and while it is still bad it is considerably better than it was a few years ago when the prevailing custom was to let the teeth run down for want of attention and then "pull" the remaining portion. The continual loss of teeth promotes wrinkles and sunken jaws, and when their removal is not provided with some form of artificial denture it allows the entire system to be gradually undermined. AUXILIARY BENEVOLENT SO CIFTY. The Auxiliary Benevolent Society No. 115 had their installation last Thursday evening. Mrs. M. J. Salter, president; Mrs. Tennie B. Abbey, vice president; Miss Augusta Coombs, secretary. The invited guests were Miss Emma Thompson, who presided at the piano, Miss Lillian Starne, Masters Mike G. Kirkpatrick, Jr., William H. Perkins, James E. Wood, Jr., Miss Aleen McGavock and Miss Bessie Jones. The following members were installed by the president and her vice: Misses Augusta Coombs, Lucy Cheatham, Alberta Thompson, Frances W. Abbey, Gracy Smith, Georgia Wollen, Mary Perkins, Pearl Hunter, Masters Willard Hall, Robert Lewis, Julian Lewis, Leon Ridley, Richard Allen, Porter Martin. "Nearer, my God, to thee," was sung while the officers were kneeling. The feature of the evening was a drill led by Misses Mary Perkins and Bessie Jones. Afterwards an ice course and fruits were served. The closing was a vocal selection rendered by Miss Emma Thompson. CHRYSANTHEMUM ART CLUB Mrs. W. B. Haynie entertained the club at her home, 915 Jackson street. The meeting was opened in its usual form with song and prayer by our chaplain, after which our work was omitted and we listened to a lecture from Mrs. William Bowles, of Wichita, Kans., which was very interesting. Quite a number of congenial ladies enjoyed Mrs. Haynie's hospitality. Mrs. Bowles gave several selections or the piano which were enjoyed very much. Mrs. E. T. Kella and her little daughter, Ella Louise, and Miss Vannie Coles assisted in receiving the guests, who numbered twenty-five. Strawberries and ices were served by Miss Vannie Cales and little Louise Kella served fruits and ribbon candy. Several entertainments are planned for Mrs. Bowles during her stay in Nashville, --- HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. The Heliotrope Circle met at the residence of the Secretary, Mrs. S. T. Shelby, of 522 Fourth avenue, South, Tuesday, May 25. The meeting was called to order by the President, and prayer was offered by Mrs. W. M. Hill. At roll call the ladies responded with quotations. Mrs. A. J. Dodd and Mrs. S. V. Lofton were elected delegates to attend the State Federation at Memphis, June 4th and 10th. Brief and encouraging talks were made by the visitors. After the ladies had devoted the usual amount of time to art, the hostess served a prettily arranged two-course menu, in which the circle's colors were evident. Flowers and ferns formed the decorations. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Frank Gray. The visitors were Mesdames W. B. Stamper, of Chicago, S. M. Peyion and J. F. Gray. The next meeting was held with Mrs. S. V. Lofton, 646 Fogg street, Tuesday, June 8th. 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.

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 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. SECOND, Stevens St., Cor. Deluge—Sunday- school 9:30 a. m.; services 11:30 a. m. and 8:30 p. m.

FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909. WHAT WE OWE THE CITY. It is easy to find those in every city who are always prepared to tell you what the municipality owes them. It is true that a city owes a great deal to all of its citizens, since it is admitted that all are tax-payers. This indebtedness is just because the citizens own the city, and are its sole support. While it is a fact that the city owes its citizens continuously, it is just as true that every citizen owes the city something. We pay the taxes to meet every indebtedness incurred, whether it be for labor or building of a new street, or a sewer, the tax-payer must furnish the means to do it, and it stands for reason that each citizen owes the city first of all a careful study of its needs. No citizen has a right to complain of the manner in which the officials are conducting the city's business unless that individual has given the matter careful study. Every voter owes his support on all questions affecting the welfare of the city. The voters owe it to the city to keep themselves informed as to the approaching elections, and to study the issues under consideration that they may be able to vote intelligently. Everything connected with the city belongs to the citizens, whether it be public or private property. Each individual will look after his private property in a way that suits him, but sometimes the interest of the public is overlooked, and when a citizen loses sight of the happiness or convenience of his neighbor the city is being cheated of its just due; for the city is governed by laws made by the citizens, which makes it obligatory that they keep the law, and when one fails to do the very best he can to maintain the reputation of a city he at once becomes indebted to that city. No set of officials can govern a people who will not submit to the laws they have made to be governed by. And every citizen owes it to the city in which he lives to do everything he can to aid in maintaining the law and in promoting the welfare of every other citizen. OUR VISITORS Negroes of Nashville are in high spirits this week. They are putting the best foot forward, and we have no hesitancy in saying that every visitor in our midst will be made to feel at home. The Medical Association of the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909 State brings to us a class of men who are in position to do a great work for humanity; the papers they read and the talks they made proved that they are interested in the health of the people. The Sunday-School Congress represents every section of the country. These men and women are here to study Sunday-school methods. Their coming will do much to stimulate the people of this city to new activity. We extend to the delegates to the Sunday-School Congress, and the delegates to the Tennessee Medical Association and visiting friends a most hearty welcome. MOB SITUATION. When the despatches from different sections of the country are put together and reduced to a final analysis it is difficult to arrive at a definite conclusion about the temperament of the lawless element that constitute mobs. One day we are informed that the governor of the State of Alabama has ordered a sheriff impeached for allowing a mob to take a prisoner from his custody and lynch him. This action is conceded to be a long step toward putting a stop to mob violence, and all lovers of law and order breathed a sigh of relief. But before the minds of the people could become reconciled to the belief that a better day had dawned the news is flashed over the wires of a most heinous crime committed by a few masked men in Florida and another in Kentucky. In the former case the victim had been condemned to die, and the time set was only a day or so off, but the members of the mob seemed to have a craving for human blood. No other cause can be given than that of savage beasts seeking human life. The case cited in Kentucky seemed to have been more for sport than revenge. Studying the situation from three angles, we must conclude that the one point gained in favor of law and order, coming in one of the extreme southern states, is evidence that men of courage are taking an active part in governmental affairs, and we have cause to be hopeful for a better day in our common country—the day when all men's rights will be respected before the law. We are in receipt of an invitation to the annual session of the Mississippi State Business League. The subjects to be discussed cover every phase of business the Negroes are engaged in. The business men of that state are setting an example that could be profitably adopted by other states. The Nashville Collegians, a local baseball team, have just returned from a trip through Kentucky and Indiana. The manager of this team is putting forth great efforts to give to the public a high class of athletics. This is as it should be, and if the proper amount of business energy is put into the project the citizens of Nashville will give their support. President Taft was reported to have referred to the Negroes during his campaign as ghosts. He is proving by his attitude towards them that he is no man to be bothered with spooks. The exhibits in the manual training departments of the public schools are very excellent indeed. It is a wise move to train the children to work. Twenty days more and the saloon will be a thing of the past. We do not believe that everybody will starve after liquor leaves the state. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS The Georgia Railway strike has reached its climax it seems and of course the Negro firemen will in the end get the worst of it. We heartily commend the railway officials who were for fair play, and desire to promote those who were in their employ in regular order. The result of this matter is of great interest to the Negroes and will be watched closely. The Kentucky Reporter. The result of the conference relative to the strike on the Georgia Railroad has resulted in a partial victory for both sides, as inconsistent as this statement may seem. Colored firemen are still stoking the engines, but their cases have been so disposed of that the indications are that they will finally be eliminated from the railroads of the Southland, even as they are now bared from the railroads in the Northern State. The only answer that an intelligent progressive colored man can give to this peculiar condition of affairs is that colored people must own and operate their own railroads. —Richmond Planet. *** As arbitrator Congressman Hardwick will never rise to the dignity of helpful consideration where the Negro is involved. The people are glad the Georgia railroad strike is settled, if the federal government did have to interfere in the interest of the mails and interstate commerce. The queries submitted in the Atlanta Journal, as expressing the cause of the firemen, sounds more like the wavings of a mob than business propositions.—Atlanta Independent. Race Optimism. Race optimism is right. The pessimist looks on the dark side; the optimist on the bright side. The pessimist gives up; the optimist pushes on. As a race we have a decided right to be optimistic. The storm clouds overhead, the thunders of hostility; the lightning flashes of prejudice across our pathway; the snares at our feet; the hindrances in our line of progress; the prophets of evil; the untoward circumstances and forces that combine to retard us, these things are the common lot of struggling humanity, aiming to achieve better things. Just as fire refines gold and transforms dull iron into highly tempered and elastic steel, so hardships develop the best in mankind, and raise the standard of character and, like steel, we may bend to opposition, but we do not break.—Philadelphia Tribune. The Georgia Compromise. The compromise under Federal pressure of the critical firemen's strike on the Georgia railroad is cause for much general satisfaction. The situation becoming more tense every day was rapidly approaching a climax. Public sentiment among the cracker whites was becoming inflamed to the point where the employment of Negro firemen in the future was problematical under any circumstances. Interference by the Federal government would have meant the opening of the old sectional wound to a degree not approached since the days of Reconstruction. The progress of friendly relations between the races in the South would have ben retarded many years. From the standpoint, therefore, of the larger and present good, the compromise of the situation is especially beneficial to the Negro race. Better still is the fact that the men will return to work under the conditions existing at the time the strike began until the final adjustment is made. It is to be hoped that this tentative proposal will obtain in the final settlement. The Federal government as the directing party to the compromise cannot compromise on the fundamental rights of the Negro in the matter. Nothing short of the Negro's right to work and his employment on Southern railroads are at stake. If it be agreed, with the Federal government consenting, that Negroes will not hereafter be employed in the terminals and as senior firemen, it means the gradual elimination of the Negro on the Georgia road. It means the eventual elimination of the Negro from every railroad in the South. It would mean industrial discouragement to the Negro.—New York Age. THE MISSES JOHNSON ENTERTAIN. Misses Amanda and Anna Belle Johnson entertained delightfully Wednesday afternoon from 2 o'clock until 6. Games and music were the main features of the evening. Little Miss Amanda Johnson served frappe. Those present were Misses Beatrice Knowles, Amanda Mallory, Ivy M. Dickerson, Aileen Hall, Roseedner Nelson, Ora Frazier, Lucy Sneed, Eveline Edwards, Bertha and Alma Dunn, Cereella Brown, Mary Merrill, Pauline Dungey, Alberta Watkins, Aileen Mallory, Willie B.

Marshall, Little Robert Martin, Jr., Esquire Johnson, S. H. Johnson, Madams Sarah Matthews, Margaret Mallory, Laura Johnson, Estella Johnson, Martin and Misses Goldie Nelson and Mary Whittaker. Misses Bertha Dunn and Roseedner Nelson presided at the plano The United States Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the Nation, coexistent with the other two great departments or agencies of government, the Executive and Legislative, is really the checkrein or safety valve of the whole governmental machinery. It was the hope of those who built the Constitution and it is the hope of those who love and rely on it for just interpretation of national law as an assurance of the perpetuity of the rights and liberties of the people. If this essential department of government becomes weak or derelict in its duty, then all that pertains to the preservation of the people's freedom under the laws of the nation is practically left without a proper interpreter or safeguard. The hope of every patriotic citizen is anchored in the integrity of the Supreme Court. This puissant arm or government should be impartially thrown around every citizen. It is the greatest judicial body on earth (the proud boast of some), and if this is true, it should so act and administer its great function. Recently this mighty Court reviewed a case coming up to it in which its mandate regarding a prisoner in the hands of a sheriff was trampled upon with the utmost disregard, the prisoner being taken from his custody and mobbed. The Court found upon the evidence before it that the officer was negligent in his duty and summoned him, with others whom it held as participants in the death of the prisoner, before it for sentence. They appeared before the Court, but it failed to pass sentence. If the facts of negligence of duty and participation were established by the Court's first review of the case, what means suspension of sentence? Can it be that that august body erred in its examination of the case? Why did it summon the defendants to appear before it? Would it have acted identically in a similar case with a like number of colored defendants? Did justice relent, or were there extenuating facts, other than the color of the man who was the victim and that of the accused, overlooked in the first review? The Negro people of the country would like to know what motive or motives actuated the Supreme Court of the United States in reserving sentence in a case where its decision was rendered upon findings threshed from testimony that could not be distorted.

Important Document Endorsed by the National Baptist Convention Last September—What the Official Body of 2,500,000 Church Folks Think of the Negro Doll Idea. Whereas, The race for more than forty years, suffered almost every conceivable humiliation, intolerable wrongs, and embarrassment for which, at times, there seemed to be no remedy, and Whereas, During all these years we have spent and poured into the coffers of the white people of this country thousands of dollars for white dolls as Christmas presents for our Negro girls, and Whereas, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Corresponding Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn., with the able assistance of Mr. H. A. Boyd, Manager, has, in accord with the agitation of the written for years, made it possible for a factory for Negro doll to be established, and Whereas, These Negro dolls are convincing evidence of the ability of the race to do thfngs as should be and thus have put into existence as fine display of race extraction as is seen anywhere in Christian civilization, be it here and now Resolved, That we hail the coming to us the reality of these beautiful and magnificent Negro dolls with gratitude and commendation, and be it further Resolved, That we call upon each pastor, teacher every professional, and business man or woman of the race irrespective of denominational creed or religious proclivities, to give this Negro doll factory their entire and exclusive patronage and thus displace the "nigger scare crow" from the white man's show windows, and the flaxen-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian dolls from the homes of every self-respecting Negro.

"How Best to Utilize Our Denominational Schools in Missionary Endeavor," was the first paper of the morning by Dr. E. R. Carter, of Georgia. Dr. Carter is a leader of the denomination and has always taken front rank in the work of the uplift of our people. "The Old Time Religion" was effectively sung by the Congress. Rev. Dr. Jordan gave some suggestions on "How to Develop the Mission Work in Foreign Fields." "The Pastor's Place and Opportunity" was the subject of a well-prepared paper by Rev. C. T. Stamps, D. D. He was followed by Rev. J. S. Burr, of Columbus, O. Master E. B. Hubbard, of Mississippi, presented the third paper on the subject. All the papers were well received and heartily approved.

Discuss Sunday-school Lesson From Pulpit. 8. Teach Various Classes. 9. Attend Sunday-School Conventions. 10. Press Laymen into Seryice. These subjects were discussed by Revs. E. M. Griggs, A. N.

His was an excellent production and served as an inspiration to many of the younger workers in attendance at the session of the Congress.

GLOBE FINDS FAVOR. Mr. Editor: You have requested an expression from me on that big September issue of the Globe. I would rather not give an expression on that. We cannot properly estimate the true value of a soldier by what we see of him on dress parade. Let me see him on duty. While that was a great issue, you were on dress parade. Give me the Globe as it appears weekly, clean and newsy, outspoken and fearless, fair and just, nobody's tool but the people's friend, and then I say it is worthy of the hearty support of all our people.

The Nashville Collegians left the city Saturday night for a long trip through the North. The team is in good condition and a good report is expected of them. Mr. Serk Smith, manager of the team, said that he hoped to have the boys going good when they struck the trail and from their performance during the practice nours, they seem to be in first-class form. The Collegians are taking a very strong line up. With them are some of the best ball players in this section, and they should show well against all comers. Sunday, Monday, they play Louisville Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they will play Indianapolis. Saturday and Sunday they will play West Borden. Smith said with good weather he thought he would push further, but as yet had not decided what course taken. With the team are the following players: Oneal, Johnson, Smith, Hurt, Bells, Kendall, Caruthers, McVey, Miller, Watkins and Snead. * * * Louisville, Ky., May 30, 1909. The Nashville Collegians and Louisville Giants played here Sunday, the Giants winning the game in the ninth inning on a pass, steal and a single. The score was 8 to 7. The feature of the game was the batting of Smith of the Collegians, getting four hits out of four times at the bat. The visitors played a fine game at bat, but were weak in their fielding. Attendance, 3,000. ** ** The Louisville Giants and the Nashville Collegians broke even in a double-header here Monday, the Giants winning the first game 15 to 3, and the Collegians taking the second game 12 to 4. Both games were batting feasts in which both teams starred. The center fielder of the Collegians made some of the most sensational catches ever seen on a Louisville diamond. Oneal behind the bat is one of the best in the business. The Negroes have filled the heavyweight boxing class with first-class men, and the daily press is finding it a hard matter to speak of the fighting game without calling some one of these Negroes into it. Every man that reads at all knows that, when looking for first-class heavyweight fighters you have to take a Negro, or you will be left out. Now the papers of the country are saying that the heavyweights of to-day are not up to the fighters of the old school. Of course they give their reasons and go on to state about the power of the different old fighters, but they say nothing about the advancement of the game and the science of the present DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS? DO YOU KNOW THAT COMFORTABLE, CLEAN Durable Seats Are a Guaranty to Large Appreciative Congregations? 523 Second Avenue, North. DR. R. H. BOYD, Secretary.

Why not send us the New style seat No.1. Front View. See the beauty of this piece of furniture. day fighters. It does not stand to reason that every other sport should be advancing, and prize fighting going back. How can Jeffries be the greatest fighter the world has ever known and then four years later the man that has the championship title be a coward and a poor fighter? He must have had something to win it and must be something to keep it. There are just a few facts that should be considered. The leading daily papers say that the present champion is a skillful boxer; that he has science and is a ring general; yet, others say he has a yellow streak. Now, if that be true, and is known, any good hard slugger would be able to put him away. Yet none seem to be in a hurry to take the job. Of course Johnson is going to be defeated sometime. He cannot remain champion always; but it is a safe bet that he is the best man in his class to-day, and when he does go down and out the same strong young fighter will turn the trick, and not a hasbeen. The North Nashville Blues' line up: E. Ridley, right field; G. Baldy, center field; E. House, left field; E. Dunlap, first base; W. Hartsfield, second base; A. Gordon, third base; W. Wright, short stop; G. Hadley, pitcher; G. Wright, catcher; W. Martin, pitcher; H. Sawyers, pitcher; captains: H. B. King and B. Dillard; managers, G. Lavin and C. R. Fishback. --- The great game that is to come off between the National Baptist Publishing House Juniors and the White Socks of East Nashville on the 12th of June is going to be a warm game. Captain Jennings, of the National Baptist Publishing House Juniors, sald, "We are going to have the game under all circumstances." Both teams are very strong and have some good batters. Send all the challenges to Manager Charley Hart, 523 Second avenue, North. There will be plenty of baseball doing next week at Athletic Park. Monday a big double-header, the Butchers of North Nashville will play the Standard Furniture Line and the winner of the game will play the Nashville Collegians at 4 o'clock Monday. Thursday and Friday the Louisville Cubs will be here. This is the strongest Negro team in Kentucky. They beat the Louisville Giants the best two out of three games and are playing a great game. The Collegians have just returned from a trip to Louisville, French Lick, West Baden, and are in first-class condition. They had a very successful trip, winning from Louisville and French Lick. Quite a large crowd is expected out to welcome the boys home. COMMENCEMENT. (Continued from Page 1.) He has scored a tremendous success.

So few people realize the variedness in a geographical way of orders coming from a mail order house or department. The attention of our reporter was called this week to a peculiar coincidence in the Negro Doll Department of the National Negro Doll Company of this city. It is understood that Nashville and some of the best firms advertise extensively in all parts of the United States which of itself means much to the city; but only when these comparisons are made can one see the advantage of the advertising Nashville is receiving.
