THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM Masonic Widow and Orphan Home, Located 3 miles from Nashville, Tenn., on Lebanon Road. Vol. IV. DR. GRUM DELIVERS ADDRESS TO MASONIC GRAND LODGE. Widow and Orphans' Home Dedicated. BEAUTIFUL EDIFICE NEAR GREENWOOD PARK READY FOR INMATES—GRAND LODGE DOWN TO WORK—REPORTS OF OFFICERS SHOW INCREASE—GRAND MASTER HENRY RE-ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION—ALL OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED—GRAND LODGE AND ORDER OF EASTERN STAR ADJOURN. The thirty-ninth annual session of the State Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Tennessee opened Sunday afternoon, when in the presence of an audience of nearly 2,000 persons Rev. Sampson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, preached the annual sermon before the delegates of the Grand Lodge, Grand Commandery and the Order of Eastern Star at St. John's Church, on Spruce street. Dr. Brooks insisted that Masons, with the money they had deposited in banks, should establish some industrial enterprises for the employment of the young people of the Negro race. He emphasized industrial education as the physical salvation of the Negro. "Do not despise industrial education," he said. It is the labor question, the bread and butter question, and means the turning of a thousand spindles for the employment of the youth of the race. We need to find out what the people want and produce it. No Negro invention has ever been boycotted when it was something the people wanted. Have no policy that does not involve, a good principle and you will force thoughtful men to place the real consideration upon your ability." Several hundred delegates from various portions of the State, many coming in special cars, were in Nashville this week attending the Grand Lodge, which convened at the Odd Fellows' Hall on Fourth avenue, North. With the Masonic Grand Lodge were meeting the auxiliary bodies, the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, and the woman's department, the Order of the Eastern Star. The Grand Lodge convened in the blue room with ritualistic ceremonies at 10 o'clock, Grand Master J. A. Henry, Chattanooga, presiding. After the organization had been perfected the Grand Master delivered his annual address before the organization. His address, among other things, showed that the endowment department was in good condition, having relieved in the fifteen years since its establishment nearly 300 widows, at a total expenditure of $36,000; $5,700 was paid out for that purpose during the past year and the department now has a balance of over $12,000. Prof. Henry stated that he had visited during the year more than fifty lodges and had been instrumental in bringing an increase of twenty-five lodges in the State, making the total number 234, with the membership more than 7,000. He pald a tribute to the work of the committees having the affairs of the Widows and Orphans' Home in charge and recommended the election of a Board of Trustees of five members, two of whom should represent the Order of Eastern Star. The Widows and Orphans' Home is a two-story brick structure, purchased by the Negro Masons of Tennessee at a cost of $10,000. The building is located on a forty-acre plot of land suitable for garden and farming purposes. It was characterized by various speakers during the day as a monument to the thought and industry of the Southern Negro. The exercises began immediately after the opening of the Grand Lodge in the Odd Fellows Hall Tuesday morning. The delegates and members of local lodges went to the grounds on the Lebanon pike in a body. Here impressive services were conducted by Grand Master J. A. Henry, of Chatta- NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1909. nooga, and the associate grand officers, with addresses by various members of the Grand Lodge and Order of Eastern Star. The preliminary exercises took place from the porch of the Orphans' Home, the vast audience covering the spacious lawn. Rev. Preston Taylor, the prime mover in the establishment of the Home, presided. After the invocation by Rev. J. C. Lawrence, of Columbia, Rev. Taylor presented the keys of the Home to the Grand Master and Miss F. Pearl Hodges presented, on behalf of the Order of Eastern Star, the furnishings of the Home. In a strong address Prof. J. A. Henry responded to these addresses and conducted the ritualistic dedicatory ceremony. During the intermission dinner, made up entirely from products of the truck garden of the Widows' and Orphans' Home, was served the officers of the three bodies. At the exercises in the afternoon Grand Master J. A. Henry presided. Preliminary addresses were delivered by Deputy Grand Master William Porter, of Memphis, on "The Birth and Growth of the Widows and Orphans' Home Idea," and by Prof. J. H. Kelly, Columbia, Secretary of Endowment Bureau, who gave a historical sketch of the Negro Masons of Tennessee. Prof. Kelly, who is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Endowment Department of the Order, read a paper covering forty years of Masonry in Tennessee. It told of the privations endured by the fathers of the fraternity, and made special mention of the late Rev. Nelson McGavock, who was the first Grand Master of the Order, and many others who took active part in the establishment of Masonry in this state were named by the speaker. The paper was well received by all present. Extolling the three principles of Masonry, liberality, brotherly love and charity, and pleading for a deeper spirit of unity between Negroes of all classes, Dr. W. D. Crum, of Charleston, S. C., formerly Collector of the Port of Charleston, delivered the principal address at the dedication of the Widows and Orphans' Home at Greenwood Park on the Lebanon plke Tuesday afternoon. In accordance with the statement made on first reaching Nashville, Dr. Crum refused to discuss any political or racial questions and dealt wholly with Masonic affairs in his address. He declared that caring for the widows and orphans and other unfortunates was the duty of mankind whether organized or not, and was a duty of twofold significance for members of the Masonic fraternity. That the idea had a firm hold upon the people of to-day was due to the Christian religion, he said, and its inspiration came from Christ alone. "Char- (Continued on Page 2.) PLAN ON WHICH FAIR WILL BE CONDUCTED OUTLINED BY COMMITTEE-WILL RUN FOR FIVE DAYS SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS FOR EACH MORNING, AFTERNOON AND NIGHT-WOMEN TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE CITY TO TAKE CHARGE ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24-CELEBRATION WILL CLOSE WITH SHAM BATLE AND FIREWORKS. At a recent meeting the Tennessee Colored Fair Association decided to hold its second annual fair in Greenwood Park, September 21 to 25 inclusive, 1909. The Association which is composed of some of Tennessee's most representative citizens and people of extensive business experience, was organized one year ago for the purpose of collecting and placing before the public the very finest live stock, cattle and hogs, the best farming products, manufactured articles, fancy work and culinary products of the colored people of Tennessee and other states. The fair of last year is a part of history. It was an attempt of which every Negro should be proud. This year the committee hopes to realize a creation of marvelous beauty on a gigantic scale and it remains for the citizens to say whether they shall be successful. The Association is not the fair; it is only the medium through which the skill and labor of the colored people can be exhibited to the world, and can only be a success through the united efforts and co-operation of all the people. The committee guarantees that protection will be given for all who may enter exhibits. Greenwood Park, the beautiful, needs no advertising. Its artificial and natural beauty make it almost a fair within itself. This beautiful park of eighty acres was thrown open to the Colored people of Nashville three years ago, and now has a magnificent club house thoroughly equipped, a theatre with a seating capacity of 800, a skating rink, an amusement hall, with a modern shooting gallery, a box-ball, a knife and cane rack, a doll baby rack "Maud," and a merry-go-round, an amphitheatre which will seat 7,000 persons, stables to accommodate several hundred head of stock, with six never falling springs of water and an abundance of shade fronting on three pikes within three miles of Nashville. Beneath the amphitheatre the space is arranged in booths for the exhibits. The fair will run five days, beginning Tuesday, July 21, with a special feature for each day. On Organization Day there will be a parade through the streets of Nashville in which all mechanics, masons, brick-layers, merchants, farmers, lawyers, doctors, teachers and all persons engaged in the trades, business and the professions will take part, and all societies, lodges and every organized body. On Women's Day the fair will be given over to the ladies and they will have a flower parade on the grounds and engage in different games of croquet, golf and tennis. On Men's Day there will be games of Baseball, foot racing and wrestling matches. On Children's Day, September 24, the fair will be given over to the little folks who will have charge of their own exhibits. Soldier's Day will be for all soldiers, and all the G. A. R., W. R. C. and soldiers of every station will take part and hold a re-union. Company G. will be in camp and fight a sham battle. A portion of each day of the Fair will be devoted to the exhibition of all kinds of live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, swine; etc., as set out in the catalogue. Beginning at 7:30 o'clock each night there will be a grand horse show of all kinds of harness, saddle and other fancy horses. This feature will also be elaborated in the catalogue. The following named well-known business men constitute the board of directors, which is a guarantee of success in itself: R. F. Boyd, S. H. Reeves, J. C. Napier, J. B. Bosley, I. L. Moore, James Jennings, J. W. Bostick, C. V. Roman, G. H. Burrus, E. B. Jefferson, O. C. Presleyy, J. B. Kennedy, Benjamin Carr, Preston Taylor, J. A. Davis, P. F. Hill, T. Clay Moore, C. N.

While class work will be given, it will not be so much for the purpose of giving information in subject-matter as to show how to teach a given subject most effectively. Any person attending a State Institute should be qualified to take examination on the first day on the branches required to be taught. There will be two courses offered, (Continued on Page 2.)

"Life is real, earnest and true, and means service to our fellowman. No man, no organization, can live alone. This building you are dedicating to-day is the culmination of hard and conscientious work; is a splendid example of thrift and a tribute to the craft in Tennessee. It is the true essence of charity and is that relief that flows from brotherly love free and refreshing as mountain air. "Such work comes not from envy, not from revenge; but from that still small voice urging good for our fellows, that Masons call charity. This building and the work it represents is a fair sign of the progress we are making and proof positive that we are advancing and possessed of all the elements of true manhood, and endowed with the principles of humanity. This dedication marks a milestone in the progress of our race. As we go forward, let it be with the idea to be of use to our fellows, and by economy, industry and perseverance, we shall soon accomplish all that we desire." Dr. Crum closed with a high tribute to the forces that had led in the effort to establish the Widows and Orphans' Home, and enjoined upon his hearers to practice in the lodge room and out of it that species of charity represented in the maintenance of the Home. "And now abideth faith, hope and charity; but the greatest of these is charity." With this beautiful quotation from the pages of Holy Writ, he closed one of the most im- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY.

FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1909. IS NASHVILLE INDIFFERENT? Cities that thrive best are those that are made up of progressive citizens. It is a common custom for the merchants and manufacturers to organize for the specific purpose of advertising the city. They have organizations known by different names, but all working to the same end. Regular standing committees are elected to look after special interests. One of the most important committees in these bodies is that that looks after conventions and assemblies. Thousands of dollars are spent by the delegates who attend these meetings, and wide awake merchants are always anxious to have them come. Negroes of Nashville who are from time to time instrumental in placing conventions, lodges and conferences have had cause to complain recently as to the attitude of the merchants toward them. An impression has been made that has caused the Negroes to declare that the merchants of Nashville do not desire to have Negro gatherings come here. They claim that it has been absolutely impossible to get any inducements whatever offered by the Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce. The promoters of the Baptist Sunday-School Congress did not ask for anything from these organizations except their good will, but if the statement made by the promoters be true, and we do not doubt it in the least, they did not get their good will, for they were forced to pay an exorbatant price for the use of a public building for a few hours. A few weeks ago another committee of leading citizens appraised the Board of Trade of the fact that in this month the Commission of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church would select the place to hold their next meeting. The inducement offered that committee was so insignificant that this city was not even mentioned. This meeting lasts about twenty days. Between five and six hundred delegates are elected to the meeting and hundreds of visitors come during the session, and, all told, they spend over one hundred thousand dollars. Memphis offered $20,000 for the meeting but Kansas City, Mo., went one better by offering $20,000 and also the city auditorium gratis We do not believe that the contention as set up is true. It does not seem reasonable that wide awake merchants would allow anything to stand between them and the large amount of money spent by the delegates who attend these meetings. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1909 UNMANLY ACT. While the exercises subsequent to the dedication of the Widows and Orphan's Home were in progress at Greenwood Park last Tuesday some parties took the occasion to have an injunction issued against the Masonic Grand Lodge Officers to restrain them from holding their session. Just what grievance the parties had against the officials of the Grand Lodge we do not know, but it does seem that some other time could have been selected to have them notified of the action about to be taken against them. As a race of people, we are all condemned for every evil committed by individuals, but we are not so judged when an individual achieves some great success. Our lodges are being watched with the utmost scrutiny and some are being threatened with injunctions by white men, and while it is right and proper for every man or set of men to contend for justice, it is unmanly to disturb a whole assemblage of people to gratify a personal grievance. GEORGIA RAILROAD CASE. Down in Georgia they are trying to decide whether or not Negroes shall have the right to earn their bread. The attorney for the strikers is making his case solely on predjudice, and admits the only ground he has for asking that the Negroes be dismissed is because they are black men and white men want their jobs. The charge that the Negroes do not make good firemen is false upon its face. The fact that some of those employed by the Georgia Railroad have been with the company for ten and fifteen years is the best evidence that can be cited to prove their efficiency. The arbitrators who have been selected to settle this case would do well to bear in mind that they are dealing with the destiny of over ten million people; for if they decide this case against the Negro it will set a precedent that jeopardizes any job a Negro has if a white man wants the same job. THE LAMPTON INCIDENT The New York Age was so silly as to clip from the daily press what was purported to be an associated press dispatch about Bishop Lampton, of Greenville, Miss., and publish the same in their news columns. We know the Age is given to the clipping habit for news, but they owe it to their large constituency to stop long enough sometimes to investigate some things before heralding them to the world. It appears that the Age, over a thousand miles from the place where the incident is supposed to have occurred, can tell a great deal more about it than Bishop Lampton knows, or can learn; and the Age is not the only paper published by Negroes that needs to put on the brakes. Our neighbor, the Citizen, published in the metropolis of the state, needs to sit up and take notice. The race is better off without papers unless they can inform the people truthfully. There is one street around Fisk University that should be lighted more. Ladies cannot go from Jefferson to Harding on Short street at night without being run down by men in buggies. In five days Tennessee's state-wide law will go into effect. If the weather continues as it has been the last week or so it will not be so very dry after all. Our own "Bob" Taylor made a speech in the Senate on the tariff. We knew he could do it, and that well. Three cheers for the "Fiddler." PLEASING EXHIBITION. Tuesday night at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Burns, pastor, Prof. G. W. Hynes gave an illustrated lecture of the new pictures. Prof. Hynes' subject was, "Every Day Life Bringing up from the Past Day of the Old Log Cabin." Rev. C. H. Clark was present and spoke in high terms of the exhibition. The pastor spoke complimentary and said at an early date he wished to have it repeated. COMMUNICATION Timely Admonition. To the Negro boys and girls of the twentieth century, is left the making of the race. You have the advantages of many institutions of learning, while our foreparents had not such places, therefore it is left to you to make this race the greatest race on earth. Many boys of to-day have heard their parents discuss the subjects of to-day, especially the subject of mobs. I am sure it makes you angry to read in the daily papers about mobs; but boys just keep everything in your hearts and wait, for the time will come when mobs will stop. Why? Beause the Negroes will take charge of them. Discussions rendered by the white man do not please the young Negro, although he can not protect himself, because the law is not with him. The younger generation can not stand this. They will rise up and protect themselves. But boys go gently on; although the many obstacles may cross your path, and the way seem dark, but push on, don't be discouraged, some day the dark path will be made bright and the way clear, but while it seems dark keep fighting your way to the highest possible place and the victory will come to you: then you can look the white man straight in the face and say, "The law is for the people and not against them. I consider my race as a people and therefore I share the law with you." Boys lift your eyes to the light beyond the hill; the gate that leads to the glory of to-day is standing open for you, but the way seems so dark that you cannot see ia. If you look and think a while you can see that the gate which leads to victory is open. The wonderful progress the Negro has made in forty-four years is enough to convince you that the gate which leads to victory is open to you. The great progress the Negro is making is marvelous and the white man is doing all he can to keep the Negro down. The white man is dreading the Negro on the account of the wonderful progress he is making in so short a time. Take all these things under consideration, especially mobs striking against the Negro and persecuting him. They really do him good. They bring the Negroes closer together and enable them to do business among themselves. MURFREESBORO NOTES. Mrs. B. K.

TEACHERS TRAINING SUPERIN- TENDENT SELECTED. "The right man has been secured as superintendent of the Teachers Training Service," said Rev. Wm. Beckham, D. D., the Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, just before leaving for Chicago, Wednesday morning. He gave out the information as coming direct from Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, who has been contemplating the establishing of feature in connection with his Sundayschool work. When asked who the superintendent would be Dr. Beckham stated that Rev. N. H. Pius, D. D., of Springfield, O., who is the music director for the National Baptist Convention but he could not say just when he would begin work. It is known however, that arrangements are being made for the opening of this department of the Baptist religious work in Nashville. In fact, last October, these preparations were under way and have been quietly going on for sometime. Dr. Pius it is understood is to report for duty in Nashville the latter part of September or early in October. His work will include the special training of Sunday-school teachers in advanced and primary courses as outlined by the National Baptist Convention. The course, it is stated, will cover the same ground as that used by the other teachers' training courses, including special denominational instructions. Dr. Pius' work will no doubt begin in this city. He will locate here with offices in connection with the editorial secretary of the Publishing Board, thus adding another department to that concern. He will travel continuously reporting only as he may be called at headquarters. BAPTISTS IN SESSION. State B. Y. P. U. and Sunday-School Convention Hold Session. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—The annual session of the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday-school Convention is in session in this city. The meeting was called to order on Wednesday at the First Baptist Church of which Rev. C. A. Bell is pastor. While the delegation is not extremely large it is gratifying to note that they come from every part of the state. Memphis has the largest delegation, in fact, more than makes up the convention. They came in a special car direct from the Bluff City. The Nashville delegation while not so large is quite conspicuous by its prominence. Chattanooga, of course is here as is Knoxville, Clarksville, Jackson and all points where there is a Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. and that are interested in state work. This is one of the meetings where the pastors of the Baptist churches have not attended in large numbers for some reason, and yet much is being accomplished. The first two days of the meeting will be devoted to B. Y. P. U. work, while the remainder of the session will be for the Sunday-school. Sunday is expected to be an important day in the animals on the church history as the city by the Lookout Mountain is making extra preparations to entertain its scores of visitors.

The Nashville Collegians have been coming strong since their trip through Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, and in a game Thursday shut out the East Nashville Furniture Line boys 5 to 0. Mr. Smith says he is very hopeful for several members of his team and says that in another year they will be able to hold their own in any company. There are quite a few good ball players in and around Nashville and by degrees they are being brought together. Rain has been quite a set back to the managers all over the country, they state that in no season has rain caused such a loss. The people are turning out, but the throwing out of games on account of the rain causes much loss. Yet they are hopeful and say with good hot weather from now on they will be able to make up the loss. There seems to be quite a big stir in the world of the Pugs on account of the position of the Negro fighters. True it is that he has a good hold on everything in sight worth having, yet this does not say he has never had any good fighting until now. There has always been good Negro fighters in every class, and they have always been up near the top; but, on account of not being given a chance could never show their real strength. The sporting public has been brought to the place now, where they want to see the best men in action, whether they be Indians, Jamanese or Negroes, and any man that is champion must be so by beating the best men in his class. The color line set up by Sullivan is almost removed, and when a fighter draws the line the rollowers of the name are inclined to believe he sees a dark shadow in the far distance, and is trying to evade it by the color line route. Some of the best fighters the world has ever known have fought Negroes and in almost every case, the Negro has proven a foeman worthy of his steel. This thing set the public to thinking and now when a Negro has the goods and can deliver them they are for giving him a chance and seldom he falls down. They seem to get the principle right and then build upon it until all is complete that goes to make a wonderful fighter. Here's luck to the black Americans and may success continue to follow them. The National Baptist Publishing Board Juniors defeated the White Sox in a double-header.

DO YOU KNOW THAT COMFORTABLE, CLEAN Durable Seats Are a Guaranty to Large Appreciative Congregations? Hence, it is the best for churches in moderate circumstances, especially those who want to have something in the way of a seat that is clean and reasonable in price. Why not send us the New style seat No.1. Front View. See closed the literary features with a reading selection. She was at her best on this occasion and was insisted upon to respond with a second rendition, was begged to be excused. Luncheon was served in buffa style.

Prof. Jackson is treasurer of Paul Quinn Chapel, at Waco, Tex., a college fostered by the African Methodist Church. Through the medium of your paper, I wish to remind the local leagues and individual members of the leagues, as well as others, throughout the country of the fact that the National Negro Business League meets in Louisville, Ky., on August 18th and will remain in session three days. Just as soon as Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary returns from Libera, Africa, the detailed program will be issued. In the meantime, it is most important that the local leagues select delegates which will represent them at the Louisville meeting. I also wish to urge the attendance of men and women of our race engaged in business throughout the country who have not heretofore been present at the league meetings. No one can attend these meetings and hear and see the strong, successful men of our race without getting new ideas and new encouragement which he can take home and use in his own business to great advantage. Aside from this consideration, every man owes it to himself and to his family to take a few days off for rest and recreation which can only come by change of scenery and in the daily routine of life. The people of Louisville, both races, are making extensive preparations for the reception and entertainment of the Business League. Aside from preparations covering the business portion of the work of the League extensive preparations are under way for social functions which will add considerable flavor and interest to the success of the occasion. A new and unique feature of the Louisville program will consist in the fact that the State of Mississippi will occupy an entire day on the program, showing what progress that state has made in business and growth. We hope that the men will not only be present in large numbers, but, if possible they will bring their wives and others members of their families so that the occasion will be made one of profit and of pleasure from every point of view. The local league of Louisville deserves great credit for the activity which it is displaying in making preparations for the meeting of the National League. Among other things, the local Committee is providing for an old-fashioned barbecue on the 19th, a banquet in one of the largest halls of the city on the 20th, and a trip to Mammoth Cave on the 21st. Now is the time above all others in the history of our race for us to bend our energies in strong, constructive, progressive directions and the National Negro Bus New style seat No.1.
