THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. 1V. EIGHT NEW SCHOOLHOUSES TO BE BUILT THIS YEAR For Negro Children Of Davidson County. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION SO DECIDED AT JULY MEETING WEDNESDAY THE SEVENTH— SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS WILL BE EXPENDED—BUILDINGS AT PRESENT IN BAD SHAPE—CHURCHES USED IN MOST INSTANCES— NO WRITING DESKS—SCHOOL CONSOLIDATED—NEW MEMBERS OF BOARD ELECTED— AVERAGE ATTENDANCE ON INCREASE. New school buildings for the Negroes of Davidson County was the chief feature of the appeal of the County Board of Education to the County Court at its session in the Hall of the House of Representatives Tuesday. Instead of an increase in the rate of taxation for school purposes, an appropriation of $7,500 for new buildings was asked for. It had originally been the intention of J. Taylor Stratton, Chairman of the Board, to ask that the rate be doubled. After consultation with the Board, however, it was decided to ask for an appropriation instead. It is the intention of the BoBard to build eight new schools for the Negroes, to cost a total of $7,500. The Negro schools of the county are in very bad shape. Not one of the eight schools asked for has a building of its own. Sessions of school are held in churches without any facilities of a school. There are no desks, nothing upon which to write, and all of them are badly crowded. Two new members of the Board are to be elected at this term of the County Court. The terms of O. C. Cunningham and R. E. Bolling expire, they having been elected to the two-year term when the Board was organized at its first meeting after Tuesday. J. Taylor Stratton, Chairman, and Duncan Currey, Clerk, have no opposition for re-election. It is understood that there will be no opposition to the re-election of Messrs. Cunningham and Bolling before the County Court. The regular quarterly financial statement of the Board was presented to the County Court at this meeting It was as follows: Teachers' salaries, $15,215.75; office expenses of Board, including Clerk's salary, $783; supplies, $4.20; improvements, $694.08; fuel, $94.58; rent of school buildings, $152; printing for Superintendent, $33.25; repairs, $70.90; incidentals, $36.70; total expenses for quarter, $17,170.06. The total expenses or the Board for the year were $73,793.49, as against $74,374.07 for the year before. This decrease of $600 was made, notwithstanding many increases in teachers' salaries and several new schools. Clerk Duncan has made out for the inspection of the Board a report upon the average daily attendance and enrollment for the year. The statement shows a decided increase over the year before for both white and colored pupils. The statement follows: For the school year, 1908-1909: White—Average enrollment, 3,836; average daily attendance, 3,223. Colored—Average enrollment, 1, 579; average daily attendance, 1,263. Total—Average enrollment, 5,415; average daily attendance, 4,486. For the school year, 1907-1908: White—Average enrollment, 3,176; verge daily attendance, 2,824. Colored — Average enrollment, 1,423; average daily attendance, 1, 230. Total—Average enrollment, 4,599; average daily attendance, 4,054. Increase of the past year over the year before: White—Average enrollment, 660; average daily attendance, 399. Colored—Average enrollment, 156; average daily attendance, 33. Total increase in enrollment, 816; total increase in average daily attend- ance, 432. THREE GREAT LAWS. ABLE ADDRESS TO Y. M. C. A. BY DR. WILLIAM N. DeBERRY LAST SUNDAY. The most decisive proof as to the supreme importance of law is the fact that God himself is obedient to its commands. A law is a rule of conduct or being established by an authority which is able to enforce it. I wish to call your attention this afternoon to three great laws that dominate our life as human beings, the violation of which involves certain penalty, and obedience to which secures certain reward. the first of these is a physical law. It is the law of physical health. Every one who knows the inestimable value of good health can appreciate the importance of the law which governs its possessions and maintenance. All we have been able to learn about the mechanism of our physical bodies and their wonderful adaptation to the physical world without, indicates that Nature has intended that they should be healthy and strong. Again, our knowledge in this realm has disclosed the fact that the continued health of the body is dependent upon obedience to the law of health. In order to set forth as clearly as possible the operation of this law, it will be necessary to consider briefly the three physical processes of the human body upon which its life depends and their relations to their external environment. The first of these processes is that of food digestion, or the chemical decomposition and dissolution of that we eat. The piece of mechanism for this purpose is a furnace. We call it the stomach. The fire in this furnace is the gastric juice which operates on the food just as fire operates on coal in the furnace of a steam engine. The fire in such a furnace separates the coal into smoke, gases, heat and ashes. The juices in the stomach have the same effect upon the food in digestion. In this case, the smoke is that part of the food which is changed into blood; the heat is that which is converted into energy or strength with which to do our work; the ashes is the unassimilated chime which is excreted. The nature of all these decomposed elements will depend upon the quality of the fuel which is originally put into the furnace. In order that the resultant blood may be pure, in order that the resultant energy or strength may be equal to our demands, the fuel which we put into our physical furnaces must have the all-important quality of purity. The first requirement of the law of health is that we eat pure food in sufficient quantity and with regularity. That is, there are three errors to guard against in the fine art of wholesome eating, viz., under-eating, over-eating and foolish eating. From the first of these errors, under-eating, not many of us here to-day are suffering. Most of us, I fancy, are fortunate enough to be well fed. But when we come to the second error, over-eating, the situation is different. Most of us are guilty of this sin. We eat too much to live very long. It is the custom of the civilized world to NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909. INDEPENDENCE BOTH APPROACHES TO THE PARK CROWDED ALL DAY—BASEBALL, SPARRING MATCHES, CANNONADING AND EXHIBITION DRILL SPECIAL FEATURES—LITTLE FOLKS BE SIEGE FLYING JENNY MAN—SKATING RINK WELL ATTENDED—EVERYBODY IN THE VERY BEST . . .OFF . . .HUMOR—THE SCENE HAS NEVER BEEN SURPASSED IN THE HISTORY OF NASHVILLE. With hearts full of patriotism, singing "My Country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty," shouting at every sight of Old Glory, the Negroes of Nashville observed the American Independence Day, Monday, July 5th, at the beautiful Greenwood Park. No day in the history of Nashville has been more generally observed than was the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year. The day was clear and bright, the city was sultry and hot, thus every one that could possibly get out of Nashville betook himself to the spacious and beautiful grounds of Greenwood Park out on Lebanon pike. As early as 7 o'clock in the morning the park was alive with people eager to get out and catch the fresh air of the morning. From then until 11 p. m. fully one-third of the Negro population of the city enjoyed the various attractions that were pulled off. There were baseball games between the Greenwood Giants and the East Nashville Giants which resulted in the defeat of the Greenwood Giants, several boxing matches pulled off under the new law, and above all were the side-shows and a well-arranged program for the day. Company G, unattached, Tennessee National Guards, attracted the largest crowd of the day in a splendid and well-executed exhibition drill and dress parade. Captain Bowman has convinced the people of this city that notwithstanding the adverse legislation in most of the states in putting out Negro military companies, he will keep his up to such a high standard that there will be no excuse for their discharge or dismissal. The merry-go-round had its share of patrons and was by no means overshadowed by the other attractions. The clubrooms, swings, shady retreats, and, in fact, every part of the park had its share of inhabitants throughout the day. Refreshments were in abundance and dinner was served to every one. Both pikes leading to the parks were literally lined with vehicles. The street cars were hardly able to accommodate the continual stream and if the cars were really running to the park on a day like the 4th of July, and other beautiful days Nashville enjoys from time to time, half of the Negro population would go to this resort for fresh air and recreation. HOW THE CHURCHES SPENT SUNDAY, FOURTH OF JULY, IN NASHVILLE. The Fourth of July came this year on Sunday, and for another time the churches took charge of a national holiday. Every church in the city held special services in commemorating the day set apart as the birthday of American Independence. They gave thanks to God for the many past blessings and with a heart in a receptive mood implored a continuance of his ever-guiding hand. The religious fervor that filled the city on last Sunday has not been equaled. The church people were out in force to do what they considered all they could by their feeble efforts—"Praise God in the highest." From the Granny White pike to Salemtown, from the extreme end of East Nashville to the extreme west, the day was fittingly observed. Every denomination and faith contributed to the religious services. Most of the ministers spoke from special topics. Aside from the day being a national one, it was made more notable by being the first Sunday after the passing of the saloons. At the first Baptist Church Dr. Ellington spoke on "The Passing of the Saloon;" at Howard Chapel Rev. DeBerry spoke for the pastor; at St. John A. M. E. Rev. Brooks spoke on "Prohibition," while at the other A. M. E. churches it was "General Class" day. The C. M. E. churches held important and well-attended services. At Mt. Olive, like all the Baptist churches, the Lord's Supper was administered. The fact, too, that it was the first Sunday in the month, known in this city as "Pastor's Day," had a tendency to increase the attendance. The day was an ideal one and from the Sunday-schools in the morning hour to the night meeting there was a constant going to the church. Mt. Olive goes down with the largest crowd, having full 1,000 people out Sunday from 3 to 6 p. m. More than 500 of these took the Lord's Supper. When night came over the city another Sunday was ended in which God had been glorified and exalted by man, and the memories of it have gone into history. MASONS WIN OUT COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES CASE IN THEIR FAVOR AT KNOXVILLE. The Court of Appeals of the State of Tennessee handed down a decision this week that was a knockout blow to the fight being made upon the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of this state. News of this triumph was wired to Prof. W. S. Thompson, this city, by Prof. J. A. Henry, the Most Worthy Grand Master, who resides in Chattanooga, but who had gone to Knoxville to be present when the court rendered its verdict. This case, according to reports, is about the same as the fight brought on during the last Grand Lodge session, when some other form of Masonry enjoined the Grand Lodge, but the temporary dissolution of the injunction enabled them to finish all work, hence its final settlement in favor of the Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M. is regarded as a death-knell to the present case. A strange feature of the case just disposed of is that it was sprung just about the time of the meeting of the Grand Lodge last year, remaining in the courts all of this time, being reached for final decision this week. It could not be learned definitely, but it is not expected, that the case will be taken to the Supreme Court, as the claim is now made that there is no case, or no foundation for one. None of the officials of the Grand Lodge in this city would discuss the matter; still they would not deny that this telegram had been received by the Grand Secretary. Their silence on the case now pending is construed by the wise ones in the Order to mean that they are "Sawing wood," getting ready to land a solar plexus on the next case when it is called up for trial. These two instances are said to have been attempted by dissatisfied men who were unable to control affairs. There is, however, no apparent feeling over the matter, as each side is ably represented with legal talent. The fraternity over the state seem to be fully aware of the tactics now being played, so they are waiting to learn the latest from Nashville. The calling of this new injunction will bring nearly all of the grand officers back to the city for a couple of days. PLEASANT EVENING. Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Oneal entertained a number of friends last Wednesday evening in honor of Miss Carrie B. Page. A very pleasant evening was spent in music and games. The table cover was of lace in the center of which a cut glass vase stood filled with flowers. A four-course menu was served. Mrs. Maud Barnes assisted in receiving the guests. Those participating were Mrs. Thomas Jones, Mrs. Mary Battle Polk, Mrs. Maud Barnes, Miss Parthenia Page, Miss Anna M. Barnes and Mrs. Bettle Oneal. PASSES SOUTH CAROLINA BOARD.

CLAIMING THAT NEGRO CENSUS ENUMERATORS WOULD BE OBNOXIOUS TO SOUTHERN WHITE PEOPLE—THE TAFT ADMINISTRATION MAKING CONDITIONS WORSE—IRRESPONSIBLE ELEMENT OF WHITES ENCOURAGED TO CULTIVATE RACE PREJUDICE—NEGRO MAIL CARRIERS FAR OUTNUMBER WHITES IN SOME SOUTHERN CITIES—NO OBJECTIONS HEARD ON THEIR ACCOUNT. The recent agitation over the question of Negro supervisors or enumerators to be appointed in the South to serve during the taking of the next census is a question which arose as a natural sequence and is said to be agitated by a few office seekers, encouraged, of course, by some Washington correspondents and freely used by a majority of the southern daily papers. But that this, it is said, will all fail short of its mark according to advice and information gained from reliable sources, is the opinion of a prominent business man when asked what he thought of it. A careful canvass, however, shows that it would seem that if no Negro enumerators were to go in white peoples' homes it would only be fair not to allow white enumerators in Negro's homes, for it can be argued and, in fact, it is openly stated that white men, whether enumerators, bill collectors, or the like, show less respect to Negro homes than is becoming men boasting of their supposed intelligence and standing. It can hardly be reported on any occasion where a Negro would go into a white home with his hat on; but one can see almost any day white collectors standing up in the homes of Negroes, who are paying these men their earnings, with their hats on and invariably with a cigar in their mouths. It is said that very often too that they become so familiar that they address the women of the house by their given name. But the prime object of the recent dispatch from Washington about Negro enumerators as far as can be learned appears to have been an attempt to put William H. Taft in the Negro-hating column. But those who are living in the South and many others who know it are too well versed with conditions to believe for one instant that the best people of this section are stopping to worry over so frivolous a matter. They declare that a census enumerator is of no more importance than any other government employee, be the enumerator white or black, caucasian or jew, german or irish, the South will give him full information and only accord him a station as is becoming his position. It has developed in several instances that instead of Negro government officials being obnoxious they are preferable. According to the statement of some white people their deportment and demeanor are more courteous in every way than many of their white collaborers. Using the language of a prominent white business man he said, "Take for example Negro mail carriers, special delivery men, guagers and government clerks, like those in the postal or railway service, one always gets more consideration and a better day's work than by putting in a white employee to fill the same position." For instance, he said, that "A Negro's appointment to such positions capable of filling them creditably would be selected from the best schools and colleges of the South, thereby not only possessing a good moral record but enviable educational qualifications." It is true that a white man, whose ambitions run no higher than a census enumerator, which position of itself is only temporary, could not be expected to come from the best schools, hence it would entail a hardship upon the govern- (Continued on Page 8.) 5 AMERICA’S ONLY ORIGINAL MUSIC BY WORK BROS.

A heritage unpurchasable, The Folk Songs or Jubilee Melodies are acknowledged by the masters of the world to be the only distinctively original * music produced by the American nation. It was not the work of some great master, but AN EXPRESSION OF THE HEARTS OF 4,000,000 SLAVES, whose musical chords were touched by their Creator. They sang strange tunes that charmed the oppressor, who was com- pelled to listen, and so charmed was he by their sweetness that he stopped often to wipe the tears from his eyes before ap- proaching the slaves to give his orders; and the intent to administer a severe punishment or to speak a harsh word was frequently abandored.

(Continued from Page 1.) eat three meals a day. But most peo- ple do not really need three meals a day. They think 0, of course, be- cause they have trained their appe- tites and thelr stomachs to demand three meals. And the same would be true had we accustomed ourselves to eating four meals a day. We can train our appetites to demand just what we would. have them demand. I believe that two good meals a day are all that the body naturally re- quires to meet the demands of work ‘nd wear and tear under ordinary conditions. Much depends, of course, upon the circumstances and the work we are doing. The hard laboring man perhaps needs three meals a day; but not the man who is under little or no physical strain. The locomotive which is pulling a heavy train up grade re- quires much more coal than it does while running on a level; and while running down grade, it requires just enough coal to keep up steam. The same rule applies in the case of the Physical engine which we call the human body. They should be fed ac cording to the demands for physical energy which are made upon them, The third error, that of foolish eat ing, is one of the most formidable foes of the health and happiness o} the human family. Under this heac is to be placed the kind of eating we usually indulge in at our banquets The course dinner is one of the bar barism of our civilization. It ts the most patent form of foolish eating Just think of the fireman who is sup posed to fire the boiler of a steam manufacturing plant, who while the whole concern is depending upon him for power, would open the door of his furnace and shovel in a lot of sav dust; and before this has time to burn he shovels in upon it a lot of cobble stones; and then after a few moments pause he throws in on the cobbi THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909, Stones a quantity of sand; and then after another short interval he shovels in on the sand a quantity of coal; he pauses for a few minutes again and then he gets a pail and pours over the already non-combustible heap 4 pail of cold water; but the end isn’t yet; he has in reserve a quantity of ice cold snow and he next packs in a lot of snow; he finally winds up the ordeal by pouring on the frozen snow another pail of boiling hot tar. He closes the door and says to the smoth- ered fire, “consume it.” What would you think of such a fireman? You would call him a lunatic, And yet this. is just how we treat our stom- achs. We fill them with indigestible stone and unnutritive saw dust, and boiling poisonous fluids and they are made to tug and toil and churn to get rid of them, And in the meantime we pay the penalty of misery and discom- fiture and feel like fools. It is the most effective form of race suicide to which the Aimerican people are to-day exposed. And then we eat irregularly. At any time, anything, and _ place. And what is the result of it? We are unfit for efficient work, we are di- seased and do not live out half our days. The surest way to contract di- sease is not to expose oneself to It, but to have the body in that condition which inyites disease germs which are always in the air, Your physician will tell you that this condition is in. duced more often by foolish eating than by any other cause. What we need to-day is a general crusade against certain popular so called foods, which are not foods bul poisons, and which instead of impart ing strength to our bodies are sapping our physical vitality and sending u: to our graves before Nature designs that we should go, A man’s physica life does not consist in the abundanc of the things which he eats. We d not live to eat) we should eat to live The second of the vital processes t be considered in this connection 1: that of blood circulation. The body is a channel through which there is a continuous flow of a stream of blood. So long as this channel is vitalized by this lifegiving stream, it will remain healthy and fertile In order to meet this necessity, na- ture has equipped theybody with an. other piece of mechanism. It is the little pump which we call the heart. The important requirement about this piece of mechanism is that it be kept normally active. For when the heart ceases to do its work, then we cease to do ours. It is very necessary therefore that this pump be kept busy. Its work is to gather up that part of the food which has been converted into blood and dispateh it to another piece of physical mechanism from whence it then recalls it and distri- butes it to every part of the body. Its chief function, therefore, is action in receiving and giving. ‘The third and last of these three vital processes is that of air respira- tion. The center of this activity is that part of the. bodily mechanism called the lungs, -but which in reality are filters for the purifica- tion of the blood. They do it by aera- tion or by bringing the blood in con- tact with air; but only in proportion as that air is pure, It is therefore an inexorable requirement of the law of health, that we breathe a plenty of fresh air. Of all the requirements of this law, this is perhaps the one most frequently violated. This is because the penalty is not instant. Our churches and ‘halls for public gatherings are, as a rule, not properly ventilated. We gather within closed doors and closed windows too, and breathe the same poisonous air again and again, But worse than this, the sleeping apartments of fully two-thirds of the people are not sufficiently ven- tilated. Nature has supplied us with fresh air in inexhaustible measure; but some of us use it as the miser uses his money—very sparingly in- deed. We take it, so to speak, in drop doses, while health requires that we should allow it to flow into our lungs in an unceasing bounteous supply. How are we paying the penalty? We are a race of weak lunged sicklings, the victims of headaches, lifelessness, colds, consumption, the grip and pneumonia, and a multitude of other nnnecessary complaints. What we need to do is to open our nostrils and] ur windows too and deluge our thirst- ng lungs with the pure fresh air of reaven, ; ‘The final requirement of the law|’ ot health is suggested and illustrated | n each of the three physical processes | which I have endeavored to describe. | t is physical ewertion or activity.

Thousands of children and older persons as well, are swept away each year during the hot weath- er, by diseases that might often be easily prevented. It is not the heat that Kills, as many suppose, but con- ditions in the body brought about by ignorance of the simplest laws of health. For instance, how few people know the evils resulting from the use of an improper diet of wrong combina- tions of food, and over-eating even .of that which is good In winter as well ar in summer. In what is generally known as the BATTLE GREEK IDEA, we have laid down these three great principles of treating diseases: First, Seek out and remove the cause. Second, Restore the body by Na- ture’s own remedies, Third, Teach the sufferer the laws of health by which he may be kept from future illness.

The lesson which these vital processes, upon which the life of our bodies depends, would teach us is that activity is essential to health and life. The necessity and impor- tance of daily bodily exercise are too evident to require proof or demonstra- tion. The requirements of the law of health then may be summed up as follows: The eating of wholesome food in Sufficient quantity and with reguari- ty. ‘ The breathing of pure air in abun- dant measure, The physical exercise of the body daily. Il. Let us turn now to a considera- tion of the second of the three great laws of which I desire to speak at this time. It is the law of obligation, or compensation if you choose. This law is moral. It may be briefly phrased as follows: Value given must in the end be equal to value re- ceived, and vice versa. The old Mosaic law expressed it in these words: “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Again, it found expression in the law which was to govern in the later Christian dispen- sation in the words: “owe no man anything.” This is the great moral law. Bul many there are those who seek to evade it. They do so because they are deceived by a delusion. That de- lusion is, that it is possible to break this law and not pay the penalty. It is easy to be thus deceived be- cause in the realm of morals cause and effect are not so closely related as in the realm of natural law. That is, natural law has decreed that if a man drinks carbolic acid, ie must immediately pay the penalty f physical suffering and perhaps leath. But the moral law has de- reed that if he drinks moral poison, | 1e must ay a similar penalty, but not necessarily at once, Because of this delay of penalty, nen are deceived and therefore they iolate moral law more often than atural law. Some men think that hey can beat and cheat their fellow- nen in their business relations with hem and not pay the full penalty f their misdemeanors, Some think hat they can let their just debts re- nain unpaid when they are able to ay them and get along just as well]. Sut the law is that all such obliga- ions must some day be met. We nust either settle them of our own]. ecord or the unseen hand of the eigning authority which is behind all his law will in time adjust them, and djust them fairly, But some one yho is deceived by the delusion to vhich I have referred will call to nind the man who is known to be ishonest and who is apparently pros- erous. Yes, he is apparenty pros- erous, but if you knew all the facts n the case you would reverse your pinion. If I could only see the end- ng as well as the beginning of every uch career, you would change your nind, T admit that a man can hoard up a ‘ortune by dishonest means; but he cannot for the life of him enjoy such 1 fortune. He may appear to be hap- by, but he is far from it. Happiness joes not consist in a man’s worldly possessions, It consists rather in the moral condition of his conscience and heart. And if this moral condition 1s what it ought to be, he will be happy ulthough he may dwell in a shanty and have only bread to eat and water | 10 drink, Whoever, therefore, geta money or riches or what not of mate- rial possessions and is deprived of the power to enjoy them is not as well off as the humble pauper who is des- titute of the common comforts of life, but who has a clear conscience and an upright heart.

FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909. CENSUS ENUMERATORS. Much is being said by the Southern press as to who will be appointed to take the census of the Southern states. Heretofore the enumerators have been both black and white, but the number of black men allowed a look in at this pie counter has been materially decreased in the last twenty years. Judging from the policy that the Taft administration has adopted, the Negroes are persuaded to believe that enumerators to take the next census will all be white men unless great pleasure is brought to bear. Consequently those members of the Negro race who worked so arduously to insure Mr. Taft's nomination felt it a duty they owed their people to ascertain the true status of the situation. So they have made the direct inquiry, to wit: Will any Negroes be appointed census enumerators? We are not in position to say what answer, if any, has been given to this question, but to judge by the emphatic way the press in the South is saying, No! it would seem that assurance has been given them that no Negroes will be appointed as census enumerators in 1910. A great howl has gone up from all sections of the South that the appointment of Negroes as census enumerators would serve to strain the pleasant relations existing between the blacks and the whites. And further, that the white people of the South will never stand for Negroes being appointed to positions that will bring them in contact with their wives and children; and it is estimated that if such appointments are made the white people will refuse to recognize them. The sane Negroes of this country are working continuously that there may be peace in the land—they love peace, and suffer every day to have it, but when such unreasonable contentions are hurled into their faces as those that are appearing from day to day in the leading daily papers in the South, they realize that patience will cease to be a virtue and that the mass of Negroes, though silently, will conclude that the situation demands that they serve white enumerators as it is claimed white people would serve black enumerators. Prolonged discussion will only serve to aggravate this case. We all must agree that the census of our country should be as near accurate as possible. It is best for every citizen in the United States that the whole truth, so far as census enumer- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909 ators can give it, be known to the world. As the situation is now, we are a long way from a satisfactory solution of the problem, but we believe it can be adjusted in a satisfactory way. It is a fact that Southern white people do not want Negroes to come into their homes as census enumerators nor as anything else except as servants, and it is also an undeniable fact that Negroes in the South do not want white men to come into their homes as anything else except servants. We believe, under the circumstances, that both races are right. No white man has any right in a Negro's house, because he does not know how to conduct himself, and a black man would feel so unwelcome in a white man's house that he would not be mentally able to gather data. As the situation stands, the only feasible plan we see to get a correct census in the Southern states is to appoint white men to take the census of the white people and black men to take the census of the black people. This can be easily done and at a cost not exceeding what it would be under the old plan. An appropriation has been made for this work. It can easily be ascertained what part of that amount will be required for the work in the Southern states. Instead of paying the enumerators so much per day, pay them so much per head. There might be a small deficit or a balance, but in either event the matter could be easily adjusted. We believe this plan would obviate all dissatisfaction, and that the census would be nearer correct than it has ever been. It is all bosh to talk about the plan of having all white men being a success. Negroes spurn the idea, and will absolutely refuse to allow these men to stalk into their parlors with their hats on and spit tobacco all over their carpets. We hope this matter will be adjusted in a satisfactory way, and we believe that the plan suggested will cure every evil connected with the case. "BEERETTE." When the saloons in this city and other cities in this state were abolished by statute on the first day of this month a sigh of relief went up from thousands of mothers' breasts, who felt that at last the great temptation, strong drink, which has been the means of carrying so many young people to degradation, had been put out of reach, and they gave thanks to God for his goodness in putting into the hearts of strong men and women to fight that great evil, and that he had brought victory to them. This, we believe, was the prayer of thousands; and there were others who, not being teetotalers, but of a mind to see the best thing done for humanity's sake, that rejoiced way down in their hearts that strong drinks were removed from our commonwealth. But the workers of iniquity are not a slothful set. They are always on the alert to evade the law, and are not easily outgeneraled. The framers of the prohibition bill did not say that breweries should not make and sell a substitute, so we have with us the new damnation, "Beerette." This late article is claimed by the manufacturers to be non-intoxicating, and we believe their claim is true, for they advertise to the trade that it can be had as often as wanted; that they make a fresh supply daily. What is this stuff, anyhow? They say it will not make a man drunk, but they have not told us how many drinks it will take to run a man crazy. We believe beerette and nearbeer to be far more injurious to the system than real beer or genuine whisky. And other evils will crop out in connection with the new drink as time goes on. One that is apparent is the probable establishment of beerette joints in every part of the city and the use of the same to cover up bootlegging. The bringing of these so-called soft drink stands into every community and the teaching of the young people the evil practices that can be carried on under the disguise. We believe in prohibition straight or no prohibition at all. And we know that as long as beerette is tolerated the community will suffer greater injury than was brought about by the saloon. GET READY TO VOTE. In a short time the city elections will be held to elect several of the city officers. Usually we know how the election will go as soon as the Democratic primary is over, but it is not always so. Sometimes a dark horse gets on the track and runs away with the field. Only white democrats can vote in the primary, but every qualified voter can vote in the regular election. The citizen's duty is to be ready. The Johns' case is an example, where the opportunity came. Many of the Negro voters were unprepared to cast their vote for either, and thereby lost the opportunity to exercise their right. Negroes in this city are more and more demonstrating an independent spirit, but that will profit nothing unless they are ready to exercise their franchise at all times. Mr. C. D. Johns, ex-independent, ex-democrat, has announced himself as an independent candidate for Mayor. The Negro voters of the city should wake up and begin a careful study of the difference between a turncoat and a regular. The County Court has just voted an appropriation to build eight school-houses for Negroes at a cost of $7,500. This is a great step in the right direction, and parents should see to it that every child of school age attends the full session. The Pythian Grand Lodge comes to our city next week. Nashville will throw wide her doors to the valiant Knights and thrice welcome them to her hospitality, which her record proves to be unlimited. After a long and stubbornly fought struggle, the Tariff question comes to an end. Business men can now set about to plan for the future, and the people will be at ease. Negro business men in Nashville are sorely in need of a wide-awake organization. Judging from the past, we are of the opinion that it would be best not to have a chartered concern. "PAUL ON MARS' HILL. "Paul on Mars' Hill" will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning, July 11, 1909, at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North. ELECTED TO POSITION AT NORMAL. In selecting the new president to take charge of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Normal, Ala.; which possibly forms a new administration, Nashville is already playing a conspicuous part. Information was received in this city last Friday afternoon in a telegram, from one of the commissioners, announcing that Miss Izora Garrett, an accomplished young lady of this city, had been elected secretary to President Buchanan. This announcement was greeted with much joy and the election of Miss Garrett is regarded as one in which proper recognition is given merit and ability. Miss Garrett is no stranger to the educational work at Normal, as it will be remembered that she spent a number of years at the Alabama school as secretary to the late Professor Councill, and only on account of failing health at that time and a much needed rest, did she absent herself from the school. Later on she was chief clerk and bookkeeper for W. L. Lauderdale, an insurance man of Alabama, who is also President of the People's Investment and Banking Company. Miss Garrett left this week to take up work in her old school as she was requested to report at once. DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Rev. H. J. Johnson, Presiding Elder of the Nashville District, calls attention to the District Conference, Woman's Missionary and Sunday-School Convention of the C. M. E. Church, which will be held at Cairo, Tenn., July 21 to 25, 1909, five miles out from Gallatin. The pastor and people are sparing no pains in making arrangements to entertain their guests. Sunday will be the crowning day of this meeting. The law provides that all pastors and lay preachers be present and none to be excused until Monday. COMMUNICATION The Irrepressible Negro. To The Nashville Globe: More effective and more materialistic than Banquo's ghost; as irrepressible as intelligence, industry and worthy ambition can inspire, and as sure of a lofty place in the scheme of the world's great affairs as the inexorable law of God has decreed and given assurance of to those who fit themselves for life's work, is the Negro who will in time come into his rightful inheritance—untrammeled manhood. "No Negro Enumerators," an editorial in a morning's paper of the 7th inst., is an acknowledgement of the preparedness of the Negro to meet other men of other races on common ground in the busy activities of life, not on the score that he is a Negro, but on that of qualification and efficiency. He asks no quarters, for he lacks not in moral, intellectual or physical fitness to perform the same class of duties, and as efficiently as men of other races. This fitness of the Negro to do with equal grace, intelligence and dispatch what other men can do is calculated to draw out just such an editorial as the one referred to. It harks back at Dr. Crum and the Indiana post-office episode to bolster up some far-retched reason to prejudice the appointment of Negro census enumerators. The editorial utters an astounding amount of racial ego, which would be attacked by that paper with all of the sarchasm, bitterness and vituperation at its command were such utterances made use of by an organ of the race against whom it has directed the editorial in question. It says that "the race question is ever present in the South," but this is true only because of just such newspaper effusions as the one under comment. The old cry that the Negro is not competent and prepared in every way to compete with other men in performing creditable service in every field of human endeavor is no longer being made as a reason for his disqualification; but, pitiful as it is, objections have been narrowed down to the weazly, pygmy proportions—"He is a Negro." That in itself is high compliment to the indomitable pluck and courage that have characterized the Negro in his forward movements since he came into manhood's free estate. Pardon this expressive street expression, but he is reporting at the bar of public opinion with "The Goods in Order." A word to the point. Let those in authority appoint enumerators that will be satisfactory to all concerned. Negro enumerators for the Negro people, and enumerators for the other races who will harmonize with their wishes and meet their approval. If all the "kindliest feelings for the Negro," as that paper expresses itself, are dressed in garb like that editorial, the Negro people are best pleased to return them with thanks. The Negro is averse to any enumerators coming in contact with their women and children save members of their own race. Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. This old axiom or proposition is apparent to the simplest mind; therefore, it is meet to represent to the Daniels who have come 'o judgment this simple proposition as a criterion to aid them in their consideration of the appointment of the census enumerators. THE STATE FAIR. The Tennessee Colored Fair Association says there is going to be a fair in Greenwood Park this year and a peep into the office of the general manager will say even more. Things there say, the colored people of Tennessee are going to have a great big fair, September 21 to 25 inclusive, and one which will reflect credit upon any race. Already applications and inquiries have come from other states for space and information. This will be a banner year in the history of Negro cooperation, for every officer, committee and all connected with the fair are hard at work to make the second annual fair all that any people could wish. The ladies are already at work under the leadership of Mrs. P. R. Burus and from their enthusiasm it is a foregone conclusion that their department will be the pride of the fair; for only a woman can do things as a woman can. The association invites all colored people to take part in making the fair a success and to send in anything they may have that could be exhibited. PROF. HYNESS AT CLARKSVILLE On July 1st, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, at Clarksville, Tenn., Rev. E. M. Seymour, pastor, Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Hynes opened their engage- ment of two nights in that city to quite an appreciative audience, giving to them their new illustrated subjects, which closed their engagement in Clarksville. Twice the number came out to witness the entertainment. Prof. and Mrs. Hynes have been requested to appear four nights at Milan Baptist Church, Milan, Tenn., beginning Monday night, July 12, and ending Friday night, the 16th.

Pastor Metropolitan Baptist Church THIRTY YEARS OF FREEDOM TROUPE. The Thirty Years of Freedom Troupe spent several days on a western tour. While on this tour in Sunday services Mr. W. W. Nolens and Mr. Thetus W. Anderson delivered strong addresses. The future success of this troupe depends largely on these two young men as well as the never-tiring efforts of the manager, Miss M. B. Topp. The future engagements will be at Tabernacle Baptist Church, the latter part of July; Salem Chapel, Kayne Avenue Baptist and Payne Chapel. WILL VISIT EXPOSITION. A trip of some importance and one that to many people would mean almost a fortune in knowledge of the West and the geographical appearance of that part of the United States, but to Rev. Wm. Beckham, the stalwart Field Editor of the National Baptist Union, who is also Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention of the United States, it is a common occurrence. Dr. Beckham left the office of the Publishing Board a week or ten days ago, and his itinerary was not quite complete, but on last Monday the Assistant Secretary received the following: Dr. Beckham went from Nashville to Chicago, Ill.; from there to Princeton, Ind.; from thence to St. Louis, Mo.; there to Jefferson City, Mo.; from there to Kansas City; he will leave Kansas City on Monday, going to DesMoines, Iowa, via Omaha, Neb. thence to St. Paul, Minn., and Spokane, Washington. He will spend ten days at the Exposition. Coming back, he will stop for appointments at Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, Oregon, Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal., Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah; Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, Colo., reaching Nashville to go with the delegation to the National Baptist Convention at Columbus, O., unless the plan is changed. This trip will cover about six thousand miles. Dr. Beckham crosses the United States from Maine to California and from Michigan to Florida three or four times each year. Dr. R. H. Boyd is to have taken this trip also, but the press of business caused by an extra heavy rush made it impossible for him to leave the work. EDUCATIONAL CLUB ENTER- TAINED The Ladies Educational Club was entertained by Mrs. Cormelia Snoden, of 705 Smiley street, last Monday. Those present were Mrs. Flagg, Mrs. Borman, Mrs. Woodfolk, Mrs. Window and Mrs. Walton. After business was transacted a menu of two-courses was served. DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

No event of the season has been more charmingly beautiful in every particular to the young ladies of the H. T. G. M. Club, than the entertainment given them on Thursday evening, July 1, by Mrs. Henry Allen Boyd in honor of her house guest, Mrs. Sarah M. Hughes, of San Antonio, Texas. Ferns, carnations and roses in pink and white were the effective floral decorations. As the guests arrived they were served fruit frape from the porch by little Katie Boyd. The cozy apartments of the home, the spacious porch and the attractive lawn rang with merriment the entire evening. Fun, exercise and excitement were present in no small degree immediately after the hostess had announced to her guests that peanuts were hidden about the lawn and each one must take part in the hunt. After the hunt all were interested in the counting of the peanuts of each one, as a prize was to be given the one who found the largest number. Miss Frances Banks, who held thirty-two as the result of her effort in the search, was presented at a later hour, in the dining-room, a very pretty Dutch silver belt buckle. The consolation trophy, a dainty little Japanese fan, was won by Miss Lucy B. White, on a tie with three other ladies. The dining-room was supern in its artistic decorations. Extending from the chandelier were streamers of pink and white ribbons fastened to the four corners of the table with large pink roses. Flowers were arranged in various other ways. The table centrepiece was handsome linen Mexican drawn work. The color scheme was carried out in the menu, which consisted of a most elaborate luncheon, followed by a delicious ice-course, in which the ice represented a full-blown pink rose and was served in plates on natural rose foliage. Just before leaving the dining-room each guest was given a souvenir. The souvenir were miniature photographs of Mescames Hughes and Boyd taken together. Those present besides the honoree and the club members were Mescames E. S. Landers, of Tuskegee; R. H. Boyd, A. Cartwright, J. W. Bostick A. J. Bright, E. D. Kennedy, A. M Townsend, C. H. Phillips, Mr. H. A Boyd, Misses Rhoda H. Mason, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Josephine Styles of Milledgeville, Ga., Lillian Allen Lucy B. White, Susie L. Crawley Harriet E.

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT IN A NEW ROLE. The latest prohibition movement in the South is the opening in Birmingham of headquarters for the Southern Negro Anti-Saloon Federation. Its promoters declare it will result in loosening the hold that liquor has upon the Negro race. The plan of the Federation is to reach that class that whisky harms most by educating the Negroes through Negro leaders, to the evils of liquor indulgence. It is proposed to organize four districts in each State, except in Maryland, where there are to be but two, and in Texas, where there are to be six. A Negro is to be made Superintendent in each section, and under him the work in each district is to be forwarded. Literature is to be distributed in plenty, but the main work will be done through mass-meetings. Leaders at these gatherings are to be the Negroes themselves, the desire being to make the reform work from the center outward. In all, it is hoped to organize anti-saloon societies in every town in the South, and through these to reach the 15,000,000 members of the race. Managing this movement is Dr. B. F. Riley, former President of Howard College, located near Birmingham. Dr. Riley has spent nits entire life in the Baptist ministry in the South, and is known in almost every Gulf State. He is a native Alabamian. He has opened headquarters in Birmingham because of this city's central location, and the preliminary work of districting the South is already under way. His selection to his post was made at a recent conference of Negro church leaders, held in Atlanta. Nothing was said of the meeting at the time, as the desire was to withhold information until plans were matured. While no announcement on the subject is made, it is known that the funds for the organization will be donated by Northerners. It is figured that the first year will cost around $75,000. By that time the organization is expected to have grown to such an extent that possibly twice this amount will be needed. As the movement spreads it will require more money until it is possible that a half million or more will be needed to meet the annual expenses.

NASHVILLE, TENN THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909 ENUMERATORS. ment to depend entirely upon the white South, as the old stock of aristocrats has long since decided that there are some positions not in keeping with their dignity; the new South it not removed so far from these principles. One thing, however, can be said, that for thirty years every section of the South has had Negro enumerators at work whenever the census was taken. Few white men, who have been a success coming from the best schools, have cared to stoop to these positions of short duration and yet, some of smaller calibre have raised disturbances and contentions that would make it seem as if a great deal was at stake. Hardly a position during the taking of the next census, except possibly the official force and supervisors, will last over ninety days and it would seem a mad contention to believe for one moment that the cultured, aristocratic, brainy, young white men of the South, boasting of their Bourbon blue blood, would begrudge such a position to a few deserving Negroes. In most of the southern cities half, and sometimes two-thirds, and very often the entire letter-carrier force, is made up of Negroes. The rule does not vary when it comes to the police in the larger cities. In Mobilie and Montgomery Alabama, and several other towns, practically the entire force of carriers is colored. The same can be said about one of the cities in Tennessee. While in the Metropolis of the state fifty per cent, of her force is colored. So the skeleton that is trotted out of the closet of this occasion will fall to scare all of the patronage into the hands of a few office-seeking politicians who appear to have got in their ranks two or three Washington newspaper correspondents. The white South is now looking in control the avenues of business, the great commercial wealth, the large agricultural pursuits and the manufacturing interests. Indications point to the fact that he is going hand in hand with his brother in black, upholding law and order, establishing commercial and financial institutions, working out the problem this side of the Mason and Dixon line. The truth of the matter is that little or no attention is paid to such ghost stories as appear from time to time under the headline of "Washington, D. C." purporting to come as authentic and authoritative from the nation's capital. READ THE GLOBE The Leading Newspaper in the South SPORT. The National Baptist Juniors Walked Away.

The trial of Jack Blackburn, champion welter-weight boxer, who was charged with the shooting and killing of Alonzo Polk, has come to a close by the defendant pleading guilty. The evidence against Blackburn grew stronger as each witness testified, and chances are that if the case had gone to the jury the verdict would have been murder in the first degree. The case was called for trial Monday and after considerable trouble a jury was selected. During the two days' trial of the case the defendant's attorney endeavored to get Blackburn off with a verdict of manslaughter, while the Commonwealth's attorney conducted the case with the view to convict Blackburn, of murder in the first degree. Polk was very popular and his friends in the 8th Ward were in position to make such a strong fight for conviction that it was, seemingly, a matter of impossibility for the defender to escape a verdict of guilty, therefore, upon the advice of his attorney, Mr. Salus, he plead guilty. During his appeal for mercy for his client, Mr. Salus called attention to the fact that no matter how small the sentence would be Blackburn would never be able to re-enter the arena again, and this in itself would be no light punishment. In passing sentence, Judge Carr in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, said in substance that the defendant had been properly advised to plead as he did, for had the case gone to the jury a verdict of first degree might have been returned. He sentenced Blackburn to fifteen years' punishment. Blackburn will be compelled, unless pardoned sooner, to serve two months less than eight years. The commutation will bring the fifteen years sentence down to eight years and four months. Blackburn is 26 years old. Blackburn was considered the best man in his class, and was one of the best ring generals we have ever had. He had just reached the point where he could have made a fortune, but like most colored men of his class when they reach the top round of success, he was associated with a white woman. She had a misunderstanding with Polk's wife, which resulted in Blackburn using his pistol in her defence; killing Polk and wounding his wife. SHADOW OF THE CROSS. Is this wonderful picture of the Christ the latest miracle or is it the result of some strange chemicle change far beyond the knowledge of the scientists of today? Casting off a radiance five times as great as that of any known light giving substance except radium, the painting by Henry Ahl, "In the shadow of the Cross," has puzzled all who have seen in on exhibition in the Swedish building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS? 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 That there is no phosphorus or other radiating substance on the picture is attested by the foremost chemists of the country who have analyzed the paint. And yet its light is wonderfully bright. That it might deceive the eye is possible but it is impossible that it could practice that deception on a photographic plate. A picture, the most remarkable feat that has ever been known to photography, was taken of this radiating wonder by its own light at the Exposition recently. The camera was placed with the picture in a room absolutely black with darkness. After eleven hours of this exposure to the rays from the painting, a perfect photograph was obtained. A peculiar and unexplainable part of this experiment is that the features of the picture, which do not appear to the eye when viewed in the dark are plainly seen the photograph, while the shadow of a cross which does appear to the spectator, cannot be seen in the plate. Photographers agree that this is the most wonderful picture ever taken by a camera. The painting, is owned by a Washington, D. C., physician who purchased it from the artist for four hundred dollars. It has been exhibited before over 4,000,000 people. It was given a gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition which is a guarantee of its genuineness. The artist in September, 1896, was returning to his studio late at night and noticed that the picture radiated light. Believing that the moonbeams must be penetrating some crevice he examined further and discovered that the light came from the picture itself. The light from this painting of the divinity came from all parts of the painting except that a shadow of a cross was observed to be cast diagonally across the shoulders. The artist refused to finish the painting which was then three-fourths completed and it remains unchanged. The light from the picture has never lost its power in the fourteen years it has been on exhibition, and it is today as bright as the day the artist first noticed the peculiar phenomenon. MR. BURRILL IMPROVING. Mr. Chas, H. Burrill, dean of the Globe Publishing Company, who has been quite ill for several weeks, is very much improved.

Mr. Wm. Brown, of Patterson street, was very painfully hurt about the breast and arms. On Wednesday Mr. Brown was lifting some lumber and a ladder, preparatory to building a scaffold on which to paint a house on the Harding road, when in some way the ladder fell and knocked him down. It fell directly across his breast. The doctor states that no bones were broken, yet the bruises are very painful. At the time of going to press Mr. Brown was resting easy. TO MOVE. Mr. Louis K.
