THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. IV. ADJOURNMENT AFTER FIVE DAYS DELIBERATION WITH GREAT Educational Meeting Sunday Afternoon. RYMAN AUDITORIUM SCENE OF MAGNIFICENT GATHERING — MANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS MAKE ADDRESSES — LAWYER HARRISON, OF OKLAHOMA. PRINCIPAL SPEAKER OF THE OCCASION — NEW SECRETARY FOR EDUCATIONAL BOARD— PUBLISHING HOUSE NIGHT A SPECIAL FEATURE — VISITORS GIVEN TROLLEY RIDE. The closing of the fourth annual session of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua attracted wide-spread attention in this city. While Monday was the end of the meeting, the Congress proper closed with a massmeeting at Ryman Auditorium on Sunday afternoon. This spacious and well-known Gospel tabernacle had been selected by the Congress officials in order that the people of Nashville might all see and hear the distinguished and noted SundaySchool workers who had gathered from all parts of the United States to participate in this movement. Representatives that need no introduction to the Sunday-school and religious world were here and from Wednesday morning until Monday discussing every phase of the religious life and giving suggestions, as well as plans for the improvement of the same. No one who visited the sessions and listened to the papers read and took part in the discussions will doubt that this movement is a long felt one ere it has reached its sixth anniversary and will be the largest and most eager sought annual meetings in the United States. On Sunday, notwithstanding the interference of a rain, a large number of people eager to see the Congress assembled, gathered at the Ryman Auditorium on Fifth avenue, North. The meeting was late beginning, caused principally by the length of the morning services at the various churches and the unexpected rain, but this did not prevent the carrying out of the program for the afternoon, nor did the large crowd on hand tire of the evening program. The music by the chorus of one hundred voices under the direction of Prof. N. H. Plus, showed the musical ability of the instructor, gave the large audience an opportunity to hear some of the best singing ever rendered by such, as well as productions of the race which are capable of serving religious people. At 3:00 Dr. R. H. Boyd, the prime promoter of the Congress, called the meeting to order and introduced Rev. C. H. Clark as Master of Ceremonies for the afternoon. Dr. Clark, after a few remarks pertaining to the work of the meeting, introduced Rev. E. D. Hubbard, D. D., of Laurel, Miss, who led in the invocation. Then, as an opening chorus, the Congress sang, "Peace be within thy walls," by J. H. Carter, of Harrisonburg, Va. This splendid production seemed to add more enthusiasm and religious zeal to the occasion. The first speaker of the evening was Rev. Wm. Z. Thomas, D. D., of Columbus, O. In introducing Dr. Thomas, the Master of Ceremonies characterized him as one of the coming young men. He spoke only a short while and then Mr. William H. Harrison, Attorney-at-Law, from the state of Oklahoma, was introduced as the second speaker and the principal one of the evening. Mr. Harrison gave to the audience an address that will not be forgotten soon. The third speaker was Rev. A. N. McEwen, D. D., of Mobile, Ala., the educational secretary. Dr. McEwen is one of the witty, entertaining men that never fail to delight the audience. He made a deep impression upon the meeting by his humor and logic. The fourth speaker was Rev. Dr. Hearst, of Kansas City, Mo., who in representing the great state of Missouri and the Baptists of the West, NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1909 told of the interest and the spread of the work as seen there. The next speaker was Miss E. B. Delaney, of Fernandina, Fla. Miss Delaney is one of the few women of national reputation who is able on all occasions to entertain annual gatherings. The last speaker of the evening was Rev. L. C. Christmas, of Raleigh, N. C., who was here for the Congress, representing the Old North State. This being his first visit to Nashville and his first visit to the Sunday-School Congress, he was given a splendid opportunity to see the active work of the meeting. Several announcements were made and the chorus sang as a closing song "Princes, Awake!" by Rosborough. Prof. Britt, of Louisville, known as the sweet gospel singer, rendered one of his soul-stirring solos, which was so well rendered that that he was forced to respond to an encore. On Sunday night the Congress speakers were heard at the various churches throughout the state. DR, A. JULIUS WILLIAMS, M.D. Dr. Williams is of the class of 1909, in Meharry Medical College. He graduated with honors, and has passed the State Board successfully. Dr. Williams is of the Booker Washington persuasion in that he has decided to locate in Nashville, and let down his bucket where he is. He will soon open an office on the East side. PUBLISHING HOUSE NIGHT Throughout the week of the Congress the visitors and delegates were looking forward to the meeting of Saturday night, as this night had been set aside as Publishing House Night. The intention, according to Dr. Boyd's statement, was to give the large number of delegates an opportunity to see the classes and kinds of workmen employed by the denomination's great printing establishment, who by their skilled labor turned out at least twelve million copies of Sunday-school periodicals during the last fiscal year, these being mailed to all parts of the world. Although the rain fell in torrents from about 7:00 until 8:45, rendering it almost impossible to reach the church without being drenched, at 9:30 there was a fair-sized audience at Mt. Olive Church, an audience that would have been a good crowd at a smaller church, to hear the program that was to be rendered. Most of the employees of the plant were present, the choir being made up entirely of Publishing House people. Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney, one of the employees, who had performed at the pipe organ throughout the Congress, was organist for the occasion. The choir sang "Jehovah reigns" from Harp of Zion, and Dr. Boyd introduced Prof. J. D. Crenshaw as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Crenshaw on behalf of the employees of the plant paid a glowing tribute to the perfection being reached as skilled laborers and the unison in each of the departments, working to carry out the aim and purposes of the founder. He said, and without any flattery, that it was not only serving God and the denomination but the race, furnishing employment for the unemployed in avenues of profession as skilled laborers that are closed to them with but few exceptions. Rev. C. P. Hunter, Natchez, Miss., offered prayer and the full program was rendered. Program. Master of Ceremonies—Mr. J. D. Crenshaw. Opening Chorus, "Hail the Baptist Congress!" Manufacturing Department—Mr. J. C. Haynes. (Continued on Page 7.) MEETS MONDAY MEETS MONDAY THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL GRAND LODGE Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.

COMMENCEMENT AT TURNER NORMAL, SHELBYVILLE. Never before in the history of the institution has Turner Normal College had such an auspicious closing as characterized the commencement exercises last week. From first to last it was a series of rich and rare entertainment and amusement. It opened with the beautiful drama "Snow White," by the children of the intermediate grades. It was well rendered and seemed to be highly enjoyed by all. One of the most brilliant features of the commencement period was the play "East Lynne," which was presented at the City Auditorium. The house was crowded, and many who had seen the drama played on several other occasions said that this was the best that they had ever witnessed, regardless of the fact that these were only students. A large number of the trustees who are the leading ministers of the A. M. E. church were present. Miss Dora A. Jones, of Nashville, was the leading lady, playing the part of "Lady Isabel." Mr. Lucius Ferguson sustained himself well as "Sir Francis Levison," the villain. The oratorical and elocutionary contest for gold medals was a most interesting feature, also, of the season. Miss Ocie W. Jordan, of Mt. Pleasant, captured the prize for elocation, speaking "The Actor's Story." The prize for oratory was won by Mr. J. Edward Ervin, of Wartrace. The address to the alumni was delivered by Rev. N. P. Greggs, of Fayetteville, on Wednesday night. It was a brilliant oration. Commencement day came Thursday. Twelve young people received diplomas from the English Department. The following persons appeared on the program: Master W. Philip Jordan, of Pulaski, salutatorian; Miss Bulah B. Farmer, of Chattanooga, class historian; Miss Geneva Phillips, of Nashville, class prophet, and Master B.A. J. Jones, of Mt. Pleasant, valedictorian. So touching and pathetic was the effect of the valedictory, the class song and the singing of "Far Away," that many persons were moved to tears. The baccalaureate address delivered by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, of Nashville, was a masterpiece of eloquence and philosophy. Many were heard to say that it was the finest address they had ever listened to. Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., was present during the entire commencement period, and made several short speeches. He cante to hold the trustees' meeting. A larger number of visitors was present than have ever before attended a commencement at Turner Normal. Besides the ministerial trustees from all over the state, whose names are too numerous to mention, several other distinguished visitors were present, among whom were Mr. Horace D. Slater, general newspaper correspondent, and Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Review. The following corps of teachers were elected for the ensuing session: Dr. J. A. Jones, re-elected by unanimous vote, president; Mrs. N. B. Benson, matron; Mr. R. P. Purdy, professor of mathematics; Miss M. E. Brookins, music teacher; Miss Mabel B. McKay, instructor in domestic art; Mrs. J. A. Jones, preceptress in charge of the ladies' hall. The Trustees Board will meet in August to consider the matter of erecting a new building for the girls' dormitory. President Jones will spend the most part of the summer traveling in the interest of the college. It is expected that quite a number of select people will spend a few weeks at the time out at Turner Normal as a summer resort. Mrs. N. B. Benson, the Matron, will be in charge during the summer. --- DR. GILBERT IN ACCIDENT. Rev. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of Olivet Street Baptist Church, New York city, was very seriously, if not fatally injured just three days before he was to leave that city to attend the Sunday-School Congress which convened here last week. It seems that in attempting to get out of the way of an automobile, he was struck by a ca receiving very serious injuries. Dr. Gilbert is a member of the Educational Board of the National Convention and was on program at this session of the Congress. He was to have reached the city in company with Rev. Timms, of Brooklyn, but in a letter to Rev. H. A. Boyd he gives the above facts for his failure to be present. About all of the city folks, who have been away teaching in the several schools for the past year, have returned to the city. No.24. COMMENGEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY CLOSES YEAR'S WORK. Large Classes in All Departments BACCALAUREATE SERMON SUNDAY, JUNE 13—ALUMNI MEETING MONDAY NIGHT—DEDICATION OF NEW LIBRARY BUILDING AND FIELD DAY EXERCISES—NORMAL CLASS GRADUATING EXERCISES TUESDAY NIGHT—COLLEGE CLASS EXERCISES ON COMMENCEMENT DAY — ALUMNI ELECT OFFI- The first school year in the history of Fisk University that that institution has been without a president has just come to a close. All things taken into consideration the success has been marvelous. True the affairs of the school have been in safe hands, but the fact remains that no institution can succeed as well without a specific head as it can when the world knows that the highest official is in control, and the large number of the alumni present at the commencement just closed shows plainly that the friends of Fisk University are deeply concerned about the future of that institution. The exercises were very good this year in all departments. The Carnegie Library was dedicated Tuesday morning.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES. The college class day exercises were held at 3:30 p. m. The stately procession of seniors in caps and gowns, followed by the juniors around the campus as a preliminary to the burning of the books, was a very pretty sight.

Key, Lelia V. Marshall, Alma M. Ross, Ghretta E. Scott, Helen L. Sheffey, Jessie B. Thomas. "Personality in Moral Reform," was the theme of Rev. J. B. Silcox's address to the graduating class. The speaker emphasized the work of the individual man, the value of the one single strong man to the community or nation. Back of every revolution, every reform, stands some great, strong man who is brain and conscience to the cause. Communities stagnate and degenerate without the quickening impulse of the individual. He quoted as the condensation of his address, the principle enunciated by Tennyson, 'The Idylls of the King.' "And so there grew great tracts of wilderness wilderness, Wherein the beast was more and more, And man was less and less Till Arthur came.' "It is most impossible to overrate the service that one wise, strong man can render to a community or nation. The wisdom and courage of the one has often saved the many. Every great reform began as a conviction in some one man's conscience. It is only through noble personalities that noble truths find expression. The great regenerative forces in human society are individuals. When you get the poet you can have the poem; when the reformer comes you can have the reform. If you want to succeed in an enterprise put a man at the head of it. The creative, initiative, determinative forces of reform are always personal "Again and again, in the history of the world, one strong man has stood up and saved the cause as Elijah did at Carmel, as Wellington did at Waterloo. When God is purposed to benefit a people he capitalizes the forces of the movement in some one person who is brain and blood to the reform. All our advance in the sciences, all our progress in the arts, all invention and discovery, have come through individuals. The real big thing is always done, not by a society, but by an individual. It was not a committee that built the ark. It was Noah. At the head of all movements that lift the world sunward stands some solitary man as its inspiration and controlling genius. "Back of all reform stands the man, and back of man stands God. The worth of a college is certified to by the men she equips for leadership in science and statesmanship, in divinity and reform. He urged the students to enrich their selfhood, to augment their manhood, for back of all life's problem lies the problem of the individual. A marble palace cannot be built of mud bricks. To make the nation intelligent and Christian we must make intelligent and Christian the men and women who compose the nation. "This is the task of this university. It is augmenting the manhood and womanhood of its students and so contributed to the enrichment of the nation. He closed by saying to the graduates, "Young men and young women, God needs you, and the nation needs you. They need you at your best. Do not be content with mediocrity or attainment in virtue or intelligence. "God gave you power over this dark world to lighten it and power over this low world to lift it, and so help bring in the golden age wherein the beast is less and less and man is more and more in all the circles of the sun." The anniversary this year has been marked by the return of an unusually large number of alumni, and the reunions have been extremely pleasant. Stories of the old days in the old hospital barricks, on Twelfth Avenue, before Jubilee Hall was built; of the times when Jubilee Hall was all there was of Fisk, and of the steady growth and advancements that have been very inspiring to the present student body. The farewells of the seniors and the festivities of the friends at the alumni dinner have closed a most prosperous year. MISSES CARTER AND LOWE ENTERTAIN. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen A.

FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1909. HIGH SCHOOL BONDS. On Thursday, June 10th, the citi zens of this city voted in favor of the issuance of $300,000 in bonds for the purpose of erecting a new high school building. This proposition had been submitted to the voters twice pre- vious to this time, but was rejected on the ground that it would be more than the city was able to carry at that time, but on the day mentioned above the measure carried by a good mar gin. This action on the part of the voters shows clearly that they are keeping in close touch with the prog- ress of the city. They observe the rapid growth in population and the expansion in manufacturing and com- mercial trade, and realize fully that educational facilities must be kept up to the demand. Nashville cannot af. ford to be behind any city in the country in anything, and especially so in her public schools, for her claim as the Athens of the South cannot be maintained if the education of the children is neglected. No better evi dence of the public spirit of a city car be exhibited than a high school build ing to which all visitors can be cite¢ with special pride. The question of public schools should interest every citizen alike and ample provisions ought to bi made for every boy and every girl whether white or black. Americ boasts of having the greatest publi School system in the world. It is general claim that every child living under the stars and stripes can, { their parents will, get a commo: school education. We do not be lieve that the citizens of Nashvill are overlooking any need, and tha the taxpayers desire that every chil in this city be given an opportunit to acquire a common education. W fre confident that the Knowles schoc building will soon give way to a mo¢ ern brick structure in keeping wit the other school buildings. Every ci izen in the city is ashamed to poin out that old delapidated house as | public school; and being almost 1 the shadow of Fisk University make it a constant inquiry to the thot sands of strangers who visit in tha Portion of our city every year. FISK COMMENCEMENT. The commencement exercises at Fisk University this week brought to a close the year's work of all the in- stitutions of learning in the city. ‘The classes were large, especially that of the college department which numbered thirty-four, and the com THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1909, mencement was a grand occasion in many respects, The members of the alumni were in attendance in an un usually large number, and manifes- ted a keen interest in everything that took place, and particularly the dedication of the new lbrary build- ing, a beautiful two-story brick struc- ture, the gift of that magnanimous phi- lanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The board of control deserves great credit for the manner in which they have conducted the institution. It was evident, however, that there was a feeling of deep anxiety on the part of the members of the alumni that were present on this occasion as to the future of their alma mater. They seemed anxious to see the university again under the guidance of an ag- gressive president. They know what it means to the young people whose lives are to be shaped largely by the personal bearing of the man who is at the head of an institution, Fisk is the pride of every Negro in this ‘country, and has thousands of friends jamong the white people both North and South, who are watching every ‘moye made by the administration, ‘and who are ever ready to advise them of any apparent obstacle liable to come in their way. | This is the first time in the his- ‘tory of the institution that a com- mencement has been held without a president, and the friends of the uni- versity are hoping that a man compe- tent to foster the work as the former presidents have done will be chosen in the near future, | ENIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. It is being published from time te time in the papers throughout the state that the white men of Tennes- see who are members of an order named Knights of Pythias are very much worked up because Negroes in this state have an order by the same name. It is reported that a commit. tee was appointed at the last state meeting of the Grand Lodge of the whites to employ counsel to look into ‘the matter. It has recently been rumored that an injunction will be is- sued in the near future to restrain the Negroes from operating in the state. Other states have had this matter to deal with, and others are going to have it to deal with, and while the Supreme Court of the United States has never gone against the black man, the states have in some instances, but whatever turn the case takes it ‘means a great outlay of money. The Negro Pythians of Tennessee will not Bs bluffed, but will fight the case to a finish. Negroes have as much right to organize lodges based on the moral |ias as any other race of people, and we | taught in the story of Damon and Pyth- do not believe that the Supreme Court lof Tennessee will sustain an injune tion against them. The mere fact that white men incidently put in their ap plication blanks that all members making application must be whit: males does not make it so. The story on which the order is basec does not belong to white men any more than it does to black men, an¢ we believe a court in this state woulk |so decide. A NEW NOVEL. “Out of Darkness, or Diabolism and Destiny,” is the title of a new novel just issued by J. W. Grant, a lawyer of high standing in this city. Mr. Grant enters into the novel world at a time when all eyes are turned on the Negroes to observe what can be gleaned from the inner man, which is expressed by the pen as it cannot be in any other way. He has given to the world a production, while treat, ing the so-called race question, that does it in such a way that the vilest enemy will be compelled to admire the author. This is Mr. Grant’s maid en effort, but there is nothing in his book that smacks of the amateur The writer has leaped to the front rank in one bound, and merits the title of master. The printing is clean and artistic and it is neatly bound in extra high grade cloth, lettered in gold. The book was printed on the press of th National Baptist Publishing Board also of this city, THE RICHMAN CASE. An incident happened at the Nash: ville post-office a few days ago that is very much out of the ordinary. One of the oldest employees was dis- missed on the charge that he had been in the habit of skipping boxes when collecting mail. This individu- al was no other than Mr. Ed. Rich. man, a man of sober habits and one who has lived in Nashville all his days. It does not sound plausable to say that a man his age would skip a mail box. It is unfortunate that this has come to him in his advanced years. He would much rather have had the pleasure of resigning and to lave always cherished fond recollec- tions of the many days he toiled in the service of the United States gov- evnment, ‘The Negroes of Nashville look upon his dismissal with a degree of suspi- cion. The opinion is freely expressed that the post-office employees are do- ing all they can to maxe it unpleas- ant for the few black men who work in the mail service, The Associated Press .despatches would have us believe that Bishop B. W. Lampton had to leave Mississippi to avoid serious trouble. We happened to know that the Bishop went to Ohio to attend the council at Xenia, and that his daughter has entered a sum- mer music school at Oberlin in the same state. The biggest Ananias cub in the world is made up of Southern press reporters. The Supreme Court of Illinois has decided that the Primary Law in that state is unconstitutional. We in this state are past masters at utilizing en- actments of that character. ‘The rainy season is still with us. We have showers ever and anon. The farmers would welcome sunshine long enough to get caught up with the grass. _ The Senate is still hanging on to the tariff bill. The consumer knows too well that living is costing more and more daily to concur in these tactics. Negro children like to -play, and they need fresh air. Parks in the communities where they live is a mat- ter our commission should consider. Next week the Masons will be our guests. We welcome you most heart: ily in our midst. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. The Metropolitan Triumph. No good citizen can fail to take a certain amount of pride in the happy turn in the affairs of the Metropoll- tan Mercantile and Realty Company, the officers and directors of which have struggled bravely and almost desperately to safely tide the com- pany through an ordeal like which but few organizations have expe- rienced. That the company is again beyond the danger waters should be gratifying not only to the stockhold- ers of the company but to the colored People everywhere. The return of confidence in the company is coincident with the suc cessful termination of the plang which were carefully laid and as ably pursued by the men who are heading this important corporation. What these men have endured few men will ever know.—The National Re wae ; anise ty Oimnbind. No one phase of our racial status is justly the cause for more concern than the matter of skilled trades, Industrial skill and artisans are in- deed second only to agriculture in importance, in national wealth, pros- perity and power. We look to our skilled mechanics to make our cloth- ing, hats and shoes; to make our trunks, watches and umbrellas; to make our jewelry, books and furni- ture; to make our dishes, glassware and cooking utensils; to make our harness, carriages and wagons; to build our houses, locomotives and vessels. And yet what part does our race play in the enormous industrial ism shown by the above list? It ts a sad but true statement that out of 10,090,000 we could not find people to -build a sixroom house and produce all things needed to furnish the house and clothe the people who would live in the house. Colored people could not make the glass fot windows, the locks and keys, the nails, the paper for the walls, the carpet for the floor, the piano for the parlor, the stove for the kitchen, the furnace for the cellar, the mattress for the bed, the cotton goods for bed linen, the woolen blankets for winter, the wife's silk for her best dress, etc., ete. And so the list of articles could be extended. With all of our claims of equality with white men, and our admittedly splendid race progress, the fact re- mains that. we are almost wholly out of the skilled trades; we absolutely ‘depend upon the genius of white men to get the necessities of life. Is there a remedy for this condition? Let us consider, In the first place, the laws and pol- icy of union labor prevent our boys and men from learning trades, But there is a way out. Let us suppose we should establish a shoe factory. We could find men, boys and girls to do the work. If the union labor were $2.50 a day, we could pay $2.00. If the union price of a-pair of shoes were $3.50, we could sell for only $2.75. If our shoes were well made our factory could sell all the shoes we could make to white people. We could soon have a dozen such fac- teries throughout the country, Sud- denly union labor would discover something to be wrong. Then when they found the true cause they would come to our factories, try to stop us cutting prices of shoes and wages, and propose that we join the labor union and colored and white join hands to keep prices up. This is not a dream-like theory, but a plan having all the elements of practical, possible success. Think it over. Talk it over.—Philadelphia Tribune, COMMUNICATION. Edward Everett Hale. To the Nashville Globe: The passing of Edward Everett Hale , who died recently, was the passing of the last of that splendid galaxy of men, Douglass, Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips, Beecher and oth- ers whose courageous and heroic fight for human freedom is the most worthy, as well as the most immortal part of American history. Dr. Hale was intimately associated with them in an epoch-making period. Those great spirits of whom he was the last lingering survivor moved the nation’s conscience to the evils of human slav- ery by their dauntless fight on that accursed institution that will ever give them a high and immortal place in the annals which record the deeds of brave men and preserve the names of the benefactors of mankind. We have been told in the classical and poetical lines of one of America’s sweetest singers that the “Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” If this is true, then he who so late- ly stood among us a link between the tremendous past and the pregnant present points us to the imperative duties which lie before us and if well performed, the possibilities of the fu- ture. The Negro people are ever grateful to those who have espoused their cause and helped them to the estate of manhood and citizenship. Among the names of those who spoke out in the defense of them In a time that tried men's souls, they will ever cher- ish that of Edward Everett Hale. JADECER.

The meeting called for the purpose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00.

Matlock. Original Poem—Mr. Dan Hackley Winston. Editorial Department—Miss Louretha Ursa Chambers. Quartette, "Draw Near, O Christ, to Me," Misses M. A. Dunson, Jennie P. Dunson, Messrs.

S. Gray. Mailing Department — Mr. John Ridley. Closing Chorus, "Princes, Awake!" At the close of the last piece, Dr. Hearst, of Kansas City, Mo., rose and admonished that he be heard, although he was not on the program. He said, "Mr. Master of Ceremonies, Drs. Boyd, Clark and others, you have kept the best until the last and I declare unto you to-night that such an array of skilled employees in a religious plant is the greatest argument that can be produced that we are working for God and humanity and although I have been interested in the Publishing House, I shall go back West and tell the people at home what you are doing here and thus spread the news in a way I am sure will do goo." After some announcements with respect to the trolley ride that had been made in the afternoon taking in the entire city, the party consisting of three cars, the audience was dismissed by Rev. Wm. Beckham. A large portion of the audience was made up of visitors to the city who would not miss the program. NATIONAL THEOLOGICAL SEM INARY. New life has been injected into the educational feature of the National Baptist Convention. According to statements heard after the Educational Board meeting, which was called here by Rev. T. J. Searcy, Chairman of the Board, who has shown his determination, to get results, this department of the Convention, whose main object seems to be the opening of the Theological Seminary, will really result in the end sought. The Board was called to meet in connection with the Sunday-School Congress. In response to the call of Dr. T. J. Searcy, of Memphis, states were represented at this meeting which have not usually represented even at the annual meetings. This is attributed to the interest Dr. Searcy has taken in the management of the board. It will be remembered that when Dr. Klugh, the last secretary, whose resignation was accepted at this meeting, attempted to move the headquarters from Nashville a strong protest was made, but Dr. Searcy took the matter up with the board and together with the state agitation and the pressure brought to bear by Nashville people, headquarters will remain in this city. This alone is not responsible for the outlook, it is the election of Rev. A. N. McEwen, of Mobile, Ala., whose work as an organizer and builder stands out for itself. Then, too, it was learned that the board members have pledged their various districts to educational work and with the plan on foot one thousand dollars will be raised before the meeting of the annual convention in September and this long-talked-of Theological Seminary will materialize and Nashville will be the prouder as well as the possessor of another educational institution. Dr. McEwen is known to most of the Tennessee people,—in fact and reality, his membership has been with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of this city, for more than thirty years, thus he has never been entirely cut loose from Nashville's religious forces. He also spent a few years at Tullahoma. His election as Educational Secretary with his known ability as a financier, a ready speaker with wilt and tact, if properly supported, is calculated to help the school, and, according to the good Baptist brethren who were in Nashville last week, will succeed in getting the fifteen thousand dollars promised by the Home Mission Society, of New York, which is regarded as only a part of what they will do for the national work. The location of the school, so far as the national phase is concerned, is already a matter of record and Nashville was selected. Now it develops that the buildings and grounds will possibly be on the Eastside, but none of this could be brought out, as no one of the Educational Board members would talk, and Dr. Searcy could not be cornered to give a definite reply. The headquarters of the Educational Secretary will be in this city not only in name, but it is understood that Dr McEwen has only asked the Board for sufficient time to properly arrange his business and resign his Mobile church so that he can open his office in this city. MAKES PROGRAM FOR ANNUAL CONVENTION At the meeting of the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, which convened in this city last week, and which was called to order by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., president of the said convention, it is understood that the program was made for the annual session of the convention, which is to be held in Columbus, Ohio, in the month of September. Nothing concerning the program or who will appear thereon could be obtained, as, according to Secretary Hudson's statement, it is contrary to the rules to give out any definite information, and yet it is rumored that such notable speakers as Dr. B. T. Washington and President Taft would be notified that they were expected to speak to the Convention. The regular custom in making these programs seems to have been carried M. B. M. REV. A. A. COSEY. Rev. Cosey is Secretary of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, Mound Bayou, Miss. He stated while here that work in the mill was progressing rapidly and the company hopes to open in a few weeks. out. The program will provide for a time in which each of the seven boards will be allowed an opportunity to make their reports and, as usual, some able divine will deliver the annual sermon for the various boards, but who they are could not be given out nor could any other definite information relative to the real program as it will be carried out during the meeting be obtained. The attendance was unusually large at this meeting, as it is said that it exceeded that of last year. It is argued that this was occasioned by inducements offered in calling the meeting in connection with the Sunday-School Congress. It was apparent that this enabled the Executive Board members to finish their deliberations and then take part in the Congress proceedings. President Morris before leaving expressed his satisfaction at the outcome of the meeting and seemed to have been well pleased with the splendid program that the committee had arranged. He and part of the Arkansas delegation left Thursday, as their State Convention convenes on the 22nd. WOMEN'S TRAINING SCHOOL. The trustees of the National Training School in conference meeting thrust another honor upon Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky. She was unanimously elected President of the National Women's Training School, located at Washington, D. C. In the Board meeting which was held in the Sunday-school room of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church this action was taken. It was the unanimous consent of twenty-five states represented in the meeting. Using the remark of Mrs. Peyton, Vice President from the state of Illinois, who presided: "They made the wisest selection, as Miss Burroughs is not only an organizer, but has the educational ability." Other work of the Women's Board, whose deliberations consumed the better part of the day last Thursday, was the selecting of a committee to go to Washington and formally look over and lay the plans that will be needed in the operation of the Training School and the adoption of a course of study and a catalogue for the school. Not in the history of the Women's Auxiliary Convention, it is said, has such a representation from all the states met any special call of the board as did on this occasion. Special rates on account of the Sunday-School Congress meeting were given enabling this large attendance. They plan to open school in October. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB.

The School of Practical Arts held its second commencement exercises in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, where a large number of patrons and friends viewed one of the greatest displays of art, needlework, millinery and plain sewing that has been shown in Nashville. Great credit is due the principal, Mrs. S. E. Griggs, who is the founder of the school, and the pupils who labored so zealously with their work. At the appointed time, the class of twenty-one dressed in their uniform, black skirts, white waists and black ties, marched down the aisle to the rostrum, Miss Mary C. McCullough presiding at the piano. Quite an excellent program was rendered as follows: Chorus ..... Selected Invocation ..... Mr. R. N. Bibb Instrumental Solo .. Miss Viola Bibb Paper, "Industrial Education" ...... Miss Ollie Cheatham Vcal Solo .. Miss Mozell Flagg Reading—Temptation ...... Dorothy Bennett Instrumental Duet—Fairy Waltz ... Misses Eunice Griggs, Geneva Carter. Paper—Woman's Work in the Elec- tion of the Poet. Miss Mary C. McCullough Address ..... Rev. W. S. Ellington The audience then inspected the work of the school and was loud in praise of the same, there being over one hundred pieces of art work, embroidered shirtwaists, etc., on exhibition. The contest for the two very beautiful sofa pillows, the work of the principal, Mrs. S. E. Griggs, closed with Mrs. Rufus Cage receiving the first prize, which was a jeweled pillow, and Mrs. Jere Baker received the second prize, a beautiful American Beauty rose pillow. CLUB ORGANIZED. On Sunday evening last a party of ladies met at the residence of Miss Louise Smith for the purpose of organizing the Feminine Department of the Eagle Club. Mr. T. B. Cohen, president of Masculine Department, acted as chairman and the following officers were elected: Miss Nina Ballow, president; Miss M. L. Douglass, secretary; Miss Elizabeth Morgan, treasurer. Others taking part were Miss Daisy Tolley, Miss Louise and Matilda Smith, Miss Anna Mathews, Miss Louise Wilkerson, Mrs. L. M. Hart, Mrs. Alice Alexander and Mrs. Mattie Whiteside. After listening to short talks from Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Pointer, secretary and treasurer of Masculine Department, ices were served. The club adjourned to meet with Miss Marina L. Douglass next Wednesday evening, 711 Winter street. SPORT. SPORT. ATHLETICS AT PENN. It looks, at present, as though the track team of the University of Pennsylvania will not be without a colored member next year. This year's freshman team comprised two such members in the persons of Jones, of Harrisburg, a student in the Wharton School, and Charles Fred White, of the Law Department. Jones has shown good form in the broad jump and has covered 21 feet 6 inches in competition on Franklin Field this spring. White has also done well in the broad jump with a record of 21 feet 8 1-2 inches, which won this event in the Penn-Cornell freshmen meet May 15, in which he won places also in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Besides these White has won 10 other places in various meets on the track and field, including both broad and high jumps, 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, and the hurdle events, and has twelve prizes, consisting of handsome seal steins, gold, silver and bronze medals, and numerous track paraphernalia to show for his work. He has won more places this year than any other member of the freshman track team. Both Jones and White are expected to do 22 feet or more in the broad jump next year, and the latter will no doubt do some fast sprinting also. *** Negro gladiators have figured prominently in the fistic competition for nearly sixty years, but never before have they held such a copper-riveted strangle hold on everything in sight worth having as they hold at this moment. Not only is Jack Johnson champion of America and of the world, but Joe Jeannette, another American Negro, is champion of France, and a third one, Sam Langford, is champion of England, Ireland and Wales. Langford recently defeated Ian Hague, the English heavyweight, for the title in four rounds. Samuel is now hot on the trail of Johnson. The pair met once, and the latter received the decision, but Langford points to the fact that when he and Johnson met some years ago he (Langford) weighed about 140 pounds to 200 for Johnson and that the latter got so spirted a thumping from the smaller man that he has no further desire for a meeting. Langford declares that he has now grown much heavier and would enter the ring at about 170 pounds. At this weight he is confident he would be able to make it still more interesting for the champion. * * * COMPILMENTED WITH DINNER. Mr. George W. Gater, of Colorado Springs, Colo., was complimented with a dinner given by Mrs. M. C. Lowe, of Jefferson street. Mr. Gater was in the city to attend the commencement at Fisk and to accompany his daughter, Miss Ollie B. Gater home. The guests included Misses Madelene Carter, Ollie B. Gater, Colorado Springs; Jennie M. Hicks, Denver, Colo.; Alma Jones, Lewisburg, Tenn.; Bruce M. Bwing, Helena Lowe, B. L Perkins, L. White, Clara and Josephine Lowe, Messrs. Geo. W. Gater, R. N. Arthurton, British West Indies, Richard Neely, Birmingham, Ala. DAVIDSON COUNTY ASYLUM A Model Institution. Messrs. G. F. Anderson and Richard Hill two of Nashville's leading citizens were called to visit this week the Davidson County Asylum for the poor and insane, and were agreeably surprised at the manner in which everything is done to make life pleasant for the many unfortunates confined within its walls. They said the people should know more of the workings of this great institution. They found the many buildings to be models, affording sunshine, air and health. The buildings are kept scrupulously clean and all inmates, black and white, receive the same kind, thoughtful, humane treatment. Dr. W. W. Core, the superintendent and physician in charge, with the utmost courtesy carried the visitors through every part of the hospital for the insane, and the apartments, dining-rooms, and kitchen for both colored and white were equal in every particular, and were a revelation. White cloths, beautiful napkins, flow DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS? DO YOU KNOW THAT COMFORTABLE, CLEAN Durable Seats Are a Guaranty to Large Appreciative Congregations?

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 for. Let every one contribute to this necessary effort as God hath prospered him. CITY ITEMS. Miss Lurena Harris and Miss Mabel Gee were the guests of Miss Mattie Powell Saturday and Sunday at Edgefield Junction. Rev. J. W. Carter, of the Theological Department of Fisk University, spent last Sunday with the First Baptist Church, of Shelbyville, where he preached two strong sermons. Prof. and Mrs. J. H.

Marquess, of Helena, Ark., formerly a student of Flisk University, who has just finished dentistry at Northwestern University, Chicago, passed through the city this week, and after witnessing the commencement exercises of his alma mater, proceeded to Helena. ```markdown ``` New style seat No. 1.
