On Wednesday night the auditorium of St. John Church was crowded with citizens of Nashville and visiting delegates. The pastor and a local committee had arranged an excellent program which was carried out to the letter. Each speaker dwelt on the subject of education, and great interest was manifested by the delegates and friends in the principal ob- ject in view.

Washington during his recent trip over the Virginian Railway, recites the following incidents as being significant and remarkable in connection with his trip: At one point, where a large meeting was held, the great grandson of Patrick Henry was brought to the station by his parents for the special purpose of having Dr. Washington shake his hand. The parents seemed to find much delight in having the privilege of doing so. At several points where the train stopped, not only were the houses of the colored people decorated with flags, but many residences of white people also. Another thing that was noticeable in connection with the trip was the large attendance of white people at all the meetings. At several places the attendance of white people was as large or larger than that of the Negro people. At Christiansburg, former Governor Tyler and a party of his friends rode fifteen miles to be present at the meeting. At Suffolk, Va., the Mayor rode Dr. Washington through the streets of the city in his automobile, followed by the city council in another automobile throughout the entire parade as had been arranged. At every point the colored merchant was in evidence, and it was interesting to see how the white people considered the news of the colored business men in matters of mutual importance. At one point in Virginia, at Kenbridge, the leading white man of the town remarked to Dr. Washington that Negroes had money invested in nearly every business enterprise in the community and that the white people make it a point to get colored people to invest in every enterprise which the white people have established, thereby creating a community of interest. Miss Pearl Warner has returned from Cincinnati, where she spent the winter with her sister, Mrs. Fannie Washington. Mrs. Washington and her little daughter, Hazel, will spend the summer with her sister, Mrs. Sallie Warner Green. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1909. REV. HAYNES GALLS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION To Order in the Hustling Bluff City. LARGE DELEGATION PRESENT TO TAKE PART IN THE OPENING EXERCISES—UNUSUAL INTEREST SHOWN IN THE INTEREST OF EDUCATION—NOT LIKELY THAT ALL WILL BE CENTERED ON ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY—HOWE INSTITUTE AND NELSON MERRY COMING IN FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE HONOR—LOCAL COMMITTEE READY TO RECEIVE THE DELEGATES LARGE DELEGATION FROM NASHVILLE. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 21—The twenty-second annual session of the Missionary Baptist and Educational Convention of the State of Tennessee is in session in this city. An extremely large delegation is here to take part in the deliberations. The city of Memphis had made extra preparations for this annual Baptist gathering. The Assignment Committee, under Prof. J. C. Neal, met every train and gave each one a home, while Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., the Pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church on Vance street, where the session is being held, was personally seeing after the comfort of all. There is a deal of interest already awakened in the convention on account of the great efforts being put forth along educational lines, and yet, it seems that the convention will not use Roger Williams University as its slogan as it did last year. Whether this is on account of the popularity of Howe College, which is located here, and the Nelson Merry College influence which is apparent and which seems to be giving the convention two other good schools or simply that a well laid out policy is being followed out, can not be learned. At sometime during the week these schools will make their reports to the body. Some of Tennessee's leading men are attending the meeting, most of them are pastors from the many churches. Promptly at 10:30 Rev. Wm Haynes, D. D., the President, called the convention to order. He made a few remarks and then Reys, B. M. Dudley and B. R. Hall opened the devotional exercise, which lasted for thirty minutes, after which short talks were made by the messengers. President Haynes then appointed a Committee on Enrollment. The program provides for afternoon devotions from 2 to 2:15 p. m. led by Revs. F. R. Nelson, of Arlington, and B. N. Neighbors, of Humboldt. Introductory sermon at 3 p. m. by Rev. E. M. Seymour, of Clarksville, Tenn., with Rev. L. Drane, of Chattanooga, a alternate. The feature of the convention to-day was the President's address which was delivered at 3:30. It was not a lengthy document but covered the entire situation. The Metropolitan Church has not witnessed such a gathering as was present to hear this address. The discussion of the address was led by Rev. J. C. Lott, of Nashville. The Treurer's report is to be made at 4 p. m. by A. M. Townsend, M. D., also of Nashville, and will be discussed by Rev. T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville, which will end the session of the first day. Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. met Sunday in the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, and listened to a very able address by Rev. W. S. Ellington, subject, "Work." He also spoke along several lines of interest to young men, such as Christian living, the value of health and wealth. The meeting Sunday will be held at Y. M. C. A. Rooms in the Odd Fellows Building, 447 Fourth avenue, North, 3:30 p. m., meeting one hour only. SILVER WEDDING. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jere M. Baker presented a most beautiful scene on the occasion of their twenty-fifth anniversary celebration which took place Monday night, July 19th, 1909, at 814 North Sixth street. The beautiful decorations of palms, ferns and cut flowers, and music by some of East Nashville's best talent made the occasion a memorable one. As the guests entered they were presented by Mrs. M. A, Bennett to the honored party. After a very interesting program was rendered the guests were ushered into the beautiful dining-room where the color scheme of pink and white was carried out both in decoration and menu. Many handsome presents were received. The Ladies Aid Club of the First Baptist Church of which Mrs. Baker is a member presented a beautiful silver three-piece water set, and in addition to the many valuable presents that were received something like $15.00 in silver money was given. Many more presents are expected from friends in other cities. Mrs. Baker was handsomely gowned in white embroidery with white ribbon. Mr. Baker wore a suit or conventional black. A large crowd of friends of the couple were present to take part in this celebration and left with many wishes for a continued happy and useful life. Walker-Williams. Mr. Alfred Walker and Miss Louise Williams were married last week at the home of the bride's parents, $305\frac{1}{2}$ Stewart street. Owing to a recent death in the family only a few friends were present. The bride wore a pink silk mulle trimmed with lace and pink ribbon with a white girdle. The house was decorated in pink and white flowers and ferns. After receiving congratulations from all present the bride and groom retired to their residence on Webster street. ANNUAL MEETING OF OLD SOLDIERS. The annual meeting of Old Soldiers took place at Pleasant Green Baptist Church last Sunday at 11 o'clock. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. Fields, the pastor. The discourse was an able one in every respect. It was instructive and forceful. He called attention to the Declaration of Independence of the United States and showed that whether we enjoyed them or not, equal rights were a gift from God to all men, regardless of race or human regulations. That the natural inclination of man is ever to exalt himself and oppress his weaker brother. He cited history to show that all nationalities which have become important had poured out their blood to support their rights. He showed that God had given to every man human rights equal to every other man, but that it fell to the man himself to observe them, claim them, take them and honor them. He showed that God had sometimes corrected national evils by war, and for that purpose raised up many noble men. He gave several examples, both of ancient and modern time. He urged the young people to consider more thoughtfully those who suffered the hardships necessary to the welfare of future generations. AZALIA ART CLUB. The Azalia Art Club was entertained Monday evening by Miss Minnie Polk at her home, 1004 Third avenue, North. The ladies met in the transfer station at 3 o'clock and all went in a body. The club was in charge of Mrs. Henry Ransom, who presided, and Miss Susie Bender, acting Chaplain, as Mrs. J. A.Crockett is out of the city. The Query Box was quite interesting, being in charge of Mrs. Watson Boyd. Some time was spent with the embroidery work. A very interesting program was rendered by the following: First chapter in the Bible, by Miss Elizabeth Morgan; reading, by Miss Polk; a trio, by Misses Bender, Boyd and Polk; the president read a very nice paper. The program was very much enjoyed. The meeting was then turned over to the hostess, who served the club a two-course menu. Those present to enjoy Miss Polk's hospitality were Mrs. Henry Ransom, Mrs. Thomas Holman, Mrs. Thomas Ridley, Mrs. Watson Boyd, Mrs. Alex. Kirk, Miss Elizabeth Morgan, Miss Susie Bender, Miss Donnie Smith, Mollie Snowden and Mrs. West Epperson. The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Henry Ransom at 708 Sylvan street, August 2. No. 29.

BECKHAM OF NASHIVLLE GIVEN ROYAL RECEPTION —NEW SINGER COMES UPON THE STAGE—MME. JENNIE CURTLEY THE SENSATON OF THE NORTHWEST—DECLARED BY CRITICS TO BE THE EQUAL OF ANY IN THE WORLD. Spokane, Wash., July 18, 1909.—This beautiful city is the wonder of the tourists and sightseers who are crossing the continent on their way to the great Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle, the Queen city of the far Pacific Northwest. In less than a quarter of a century Spokane has grown from a frontier town to what to-day is declared, by world travelers, to be the best built modern city on the continent. The city has a population of 125,000, and the brother in black is playing a conspicuous part in its affairs. He is found holding many positions of trust with the largest institutions in this section; in fact, no other city in the Far West offers so many inducements to the industrious Negro. In religious circles they are well cared for, having four well-organized churches, namely: Calvary Baptist Church is the oldest organization among the colored people in this section. It is pastored by Rev. J. Gordon McPherson; Bethel A. M. E. Church, pastored by Rev. S. S. Freeman; St. Thomas Episcopal Mission and St. Paul Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. S. George Wilson. They have several strong Fraternal Organizations, namely: Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Chapter of the East Star and a Household of Ruth. In business enterprises they are not slow. They have a well-equipped printing office, operated by Messrs. Parker and Barrow, who are the publishers of the "Citizen," the local paper. The Clarence Bay Buffalo Hump Mining Company, capitalized at $100, 000, Wm. Hopkins, president, George E. Anderson, secretary and general manager. This company has some of the best gold producing claims in the famous Buffalo Hump group in central Idaho. Mr. R. S. White is in charge of the properties, and he is very enthusiastic over the outlook. There are several well-conducted cafes and restaurants, and among them one of the finest west of Chicago operated by colored people. The Palace Tea Rooms, conducted by Frank L. Wilson, on the third floor of the big Palace department store are the most complete of the kind in the Far West and can seat 125 guests. Mr. Wilson has fifteen waitresses in his employ. Rev. Dr. William Beckham, of Nashville, Tenn., Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, spent a busy day here Sunday. In the morning he preached at Calvary Baptist Church. In the afternoon he delivered a stirring address at the Y. M. C. A. of the white people. Monday evening a crowded house greeted him at the First Baptist Church. It is needless to say that Dr. Beckham swayed this great audience at will with his burning eloquence. He left Tuesday via the Great. Northern Railway for the Central Baptist Convention at Seattle with the Spokane delegation. A NEW PRIMA DONA.

There is general satisfaction among the Negroes of the state of Tennessee relative to the good received from the establishment of an agricultural, mechanical and normal college for Negro boys. When the Legislature passed the bill to establish such a school two-thirds of the population of Tennessee rejoiced and felt that they were at last to receive some of the benefits they had long been deprived of. It is apparent that such a school would be a great help to the state. A just comparison or possibly the mention of a young man from Tennessee who has made such a school in the state of New Jersey the pride of that state has been recently made. The Manual Training and Industrial School for colored youths located in Bordentown, N. J., has been for the past two years under the management of Professor John Thomas Caruthers, of Tennessee, who studied and finished from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Massachusetts, located at Amherst. Mr. Caruthers is a Tennesseean, being born and reared in Columbia, Tenn., studied at Roger Williams and finished at Amherst with high honors. The record that Mr. Caruthers has made as an agricultural specialist is not one that the wizard of Tuskegee would be ashamed of. He has made such a record because the state of New Jersey saw fit to make proper appropriations, give the necessary encouragement to such a pursuit, and select a young man who had studied the agricultural and mechanical art and knew how to put it into practice. The state of New Jersey has given $15,000 a year to this pursuit. Of course, this does not include special donations given through different funds to encourage the art. The farm from the school alone, according to the report made by Prof. Caruthers to the state of New Jersey, turned over this year $5,000 in cash, which money goes back to the state treasury, but this, it is learned, will be used in addition to the appropriation to perfect and enlarge the agricultural pursuits of the school, making $20,000 available for this year's work. Such encouraging reports coming from afar showing the accomplishments of a Tennessee youth, should and will inspire those here to greater activity. IN HONOR OF HER SON AND DAUGHTER. Mrs. Walter Page entertained a number of friends Wednesday evening in honor of her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Page. The reception-room was decorated with cut flowers.

FRIDAY JULY 23, 1909. THE FARMERS’ CONFERENCE. Beginning next Wednesday, the Ne- gro farmers of Middle Tennessee will hold a three days’ conference. The ses- sions will be held in the state capitol, and from present indications the con- ference will be well attended. The plan is to have several of the leading white farmers address the conference on practical farming, and some of the best informed men of the Negro race, both in and out of the state, to de- monstrate to those who attend how best to conduct a farm to get good re- sults, It goes without saying that this meeting will result in much good to the Negroes of Middle Tennessee, and in fact, all the people of the state. There are opportunities in store for the young Negro man who will study the soil. The day has past when the Negro should be looked up- on as a mere hirling on the farm. He must set about to produce something. He owes his state the use of some of his fertile brain. He has a right to bear some of the burdens of the com- monwealth. He cannot meet these re- quirements as a hireling, for the hire- ling is only responsible for his ser- vices. The State of Tennessee and the entire South is in need of Negro farm owners. In passing through portions of this state you will see old relics here and there that show how the farms were conducted years ago. Massive struc tures are being left to rot down. ‘Weeds stand where once fields of gold: en grain met the eye. Great gulleys the mark of the rains of many years have been hulled out where once the vehicle was drawn daily by prancing steed, and the blue grass pasture that in days past feed thousands of milch cows and herds of sheep are now grown up in thistles and briers. We find our fair land, in many sections in such a condition, and the questior naturally arises, who will check this backward stride in our agricultura: life? The answer comes echoing from every quarter, “The Negroes, who un derstand the conditions better thar any other class of people on the fact of the Globe.” Hecannot do it, how ever, unless he is given the proper en couragement, “We believe the whit people of the South are fast waking up to a realization of this fact. Wi look upon the approaching Farmers Conference as a wise step toward th redemption of our fair land. Every Negro engaged in farming o truck raising should avail himself o THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1909. of this opportunity to learn something about scientific farming, if circum: stances will permit him to do so. It often occurs that there is a scarcity of certain products on the markets of the South, and of articles that are grown in every garden, but our farmers and truck raisers lose sight of the fact that the markets of the North and Bast are constantly calling on the South for foodstuffs, and it too often finds the Southern farmer unable to supply the demand. The man who has the article to sell will in every case let the highest bidder have it, Not being accustomed to paying fancy prices in the South the Northern man gets the goods and the man at home has to do without. The Negroes of the South can relieve this situation and will if his white brother will let him do it. Encourage him to do farm: ing, Allow him to own some of the land; and guarantee that when he shows signs of prosperity that night riders will not fall on him in the Mae and drive him from his home PYTHIAN MUDDLE. When the Grand Lodge of the Order of Knights of Pythias convened in an- nuai session in this city last week it was anticipated that representatives of the white Pythians of the state would give them some trouble. It had been published in the daily pa- pers that such a step was under con- sideration, and it was known that a committee had been appointed for that specific purpose, with power to act, The Grand Lodge convened, and ‘the expected intruders were s0 long putting in their appearance that many began to feel relieved. But such a feeling was soon dispelled. The in- junction was served, but the business of the meeting went on just as if noth- ing had happened. The injunction was a mild affair compared to the muddle caused by a few dissatisfied Py- thians, It seems impossible nowadays for Negro lodges to hold a meeting without the interference of some dis- turbing element, and usually the dis- satisfied parties have no just ground for complaint. But the worst aspect of the whole affair was the calling in of the county sheriff, There was absolutely no need for such an act. ‘The sheriff himself stated that every- thing was quiet when he reached the hall, and he did not find any one with ‘a weapon of any sort. The Pythians are thoroughly organized and conduct their business in the most orderly manner. But there are some members of that Order who would destroy the interest of every member to let the world know they are. in it, These are disturbing elements, The Order of Knights of Pythias and all other: need a law whereby they can rid the Orders of such characters, They ought to be put down and out forever and ever. REGISTRATION. In a short while the regular regis- tration will be held throughout the state. The certificates issued at this time will last until the next regular reg- istration unless the parties holding the same change their place of residence. There is no cost attached to this qual- ification, the voter only has to go to the registration place and answer the questions asked by the clerk, so there is absolutely no excuse for any one being without these certificates. It is not improper to ask your neighbor if he has registered, and it is the duty of every one to urge his neighbor to register. The man who is a qualified voter is the man of influence. He is the man who has a say about his own affairs and the public affairs of others. Every Negro man in Tennessee should register, pay his poll tax and vote in every election. The young men have been and @re now too in different about their franchise. It is a sacred gift, and should be looked ‘upon as such, MR. TAFT. President Taft called the standpat- ters on the tariff bill around his festal board with a hope that he would be able to convince them that he is right in his views on tariff revision. Men are usually in a pleasant mood after dinner, Just how well Mr. Taft suc- ceeded can best be told after the vot- ing. Tariff revision is a big job for any man who undertakes it. The people as a whole do not understand it, and few ever think of the tariff when liv- ing comes high. It is only the corpora- tion fellow, who has millions at stake, that worries about the tariff. If Mr. ‘Taft can. satisfy them he will be all right. - “Under the circumstances” is the fault the “Nashville American” finds with the mob that lynched a Negro in Paris, Tenn, It was a pity that Capt. Rankin was lynched “under the circumstances,” and it is a great blot on our civilization to lynch a man anywhere under any circumstances, but the mob spirit is contagious, and is also of a reactionary nature, All the Negroes and the bad white folks of Mobile, Ala., will have to be in by ten o'clock at night, according to reports. That will leave the town without police protection at night un- less the law is modified for their special benefit. The manager of the State Fair and his colleagues are going to work in earnest. It looks like they intend to have a sure enough fair. One thing is they are on the right tract to success. Booker T. Washington, it is re ported, will soon make a tour of Ten- nessee, Everybody get busy with the whitewash brush. We owe Mr. Wash- ington the utmost respect. age WHITE MAN FATALLY WOUNDS MULATTO WOMAN, Watertown, Tenn. July 21.—James Wood, a well-known white man, and a man of good family connection, about 60 years of age, lies dead with a bul- let hole in his) head. Jessie Coates, a good-looking mulatto woman of most questionable character, lies dying with the wounds inflicted by five shots. Wood had been supporting the woman for some ume. A few weeks ago she refused his support, with the above result. He met her Wednesday morning, and after a few words, shot her. Then going to his home he resisted arrest, and later, of- ficers going to arrest him, found him lying on a ded stiff in death with a bullet hole through the head. —— BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mr. and Mrs, Geo.

Tally Sheets. Sec, 23. Be it further enacted, ‘That the election officials of the pri- mary shall keep two sets of poll lists and tally sheets, upon which shall be recorded the name of each voter in the primary and in accurate tally of the vote cast for each candidate, and which shall be returned as prescribed hereafter. (1) When the vote has been count- ed, tallied and the returns certified, the ballots cast in the primary, to- gether with one set of poll lists and tally sheets, shall be immediately se- curely sealed in a durable envelope and addressed to the Clerk of the County Court of the county whereupon one or more of the judges of the elec- tion shall write his name across the COMMUNICATION Mob Violence. To the Nashville Globe: ‘The devilish institution which holds forth in the South known as the mob utterly disregards the law, taking upon itself, presumptively, the lib- erty to mete out summary punishment in the form of death by hanging, burn- ing or drawing end quartering any alleged Negro criminal or ‘suspect that falls into its hands. This assump- tion of the rightful function of the sovereign and allsufficient law by ir- responsibles who ever thirst for ‘blood is the damnable and crying evil of the times and a hellish stigma upon the civilization of the age, It matters not what the nature of the charge made against a colored man, frivolous or serious, from that of purloining a chicken to that of an altercation with a white man, he is subjected to the possibility, nay the probability, of being hanged, burned or quartered, This ought not to be 80 in a so-called Christian land, where the entire machinery of the law, in every conceivable and {implied sense, is in the hands of the race whose members riot and revel in these constant recur: ring, bloody and sickening executions of men without the least sanction of law. This awful condition of things along that particular line is a griev. ous sin, an inhuman outrage that cries for remedy. It is well to ask, where is the end? Will it go on to the crack of doom? Can the white man not abide with patience the due process of the law made, interpreted and ex. ecuted by himself? sealed part of the envelope and en- dorse on the same the county and vo- ting precinct. (2) The other set of poll lists and tally sheets shall also be immediately sealed in a durable envelope, ad- dressed to the State Board of Primary Election Commissioners, of the politi- cal party it represents, Nashville, Tenn.; whereupon one or more of the judges shall write his name across the sealed portion of the envelope and endorse thereon the county and ‘Yoting precinct, (3) The returns thus enveloped, securely sealed and addressed and en- dorsed, shall be respectively delivered in person or by mail, or express by the officer, or one of the judges of the primary election, the one set with the ballots cast, to the Clerk of the County Court, and the other to the State Board of Primary Election Commis- sioners, all of whicheshall be promptly done, (4) Failure, neglect or refusal of any election official to perform the du- ties prescribed by this action shall be deemed a misdemeanor, punishable by fine of not less than ten dollars ($10), nor more than fifty dollars ($50), except, if intentionally done, the guilty party shall be imprisoned in the county jail for thirty days. Sec. 24—Be it further enacted, That at voting precincts of the state where the law known as the Dorch law is controlling, the seme rules and regu- lations of said law as to booths and the presence of persons within a pre- scribed distance shall apply to all pri- mary elections held under this act; provided, however, this section shall not apply to inspectors representing candidates as provided for by this act, Inspector of Count. Sec. 25. Be it further enacted, That each of the candidates to be voted for in a primary election held under this act shall, upon his conferring that au- thority in writing, have from the open- ing of the polls untit the vote shall have been counted and the returns and ballots have been, as heretofore prescribed by this act, prepared for delivery to the authority authorized to receive the same, an inspector to watch the election; and upon the re- quest of such inspector, the judges of the election shall give him a state- ment, signed by them, and tlie officer and clerks of the primary election, setting forth the vote of each candi- date cast at the precinct. | 1, To fail or refuse the inspector the inspection and presence provided for by this section shall be a misde- meanor on the part of any person | therewith interferring, punishable as prescribed by the laws of the state as to misdemeanors. ; 2. But the inspectors provided for by this act are hereby prohibited from in any wise offering, or attempting to influence the vote of any elector for, or against, any candidate, and should jany inspector violate this provision, jhe shall be at once ejected by the | judges and lose his right of inspec- tion, and shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable therefor as prescribed by the laws of the state for misdemeanors, Tt is an indisputable fact that where law ceases, anarchy begins; and vice versa, where anarchy begins, law ceases. This, we repeat, is true. Mob violence is anarchism, and anar- chism is hatred of and antagonism to law and its orderly process, Be it said with a dead moral certainty that the government that cannot check or smother anarchism will eventually totter to its fall. Its end is a catas- trophe, such as characterized those which history gives account of that passed that way—the way marked by blood, wantonly drawn, oppression and the destruction of the liberties of a weaker people. To what extent, ye gods! iy this condition to go? We know cy of- fensive to ask this question, but|{t is wholly within the confines of reason. If the government, under its laws, cannot guarantee to every citizen a safe, speedy and impartial trial, then what does that government stand for? Why are those who operate the gov- ernment and its laws so silent and Passive toward that element ever pregnant with the desire to seize upon every conceivable excuse or pretence to uproar the general peace and pour the milk of sweet concord into hell? It is as unwise and unsafe for them- selves and their posterity to allow this spirit of anarchism to continue its un- holy growth as for those upon whom it feeds. Is it not a sowing to the winds, a planting of dragons’ teeth? JADECER. NOTICE.

SUPERVISORS OF CENSUS, Director Durand Has Things Ready for Their Appointment. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The di- vision of the United States and Porto Rico into census supervisors’ districts and the designation of the number of census supervisors to be employed for the thirteenth census, on April 15, 1910, has been completed by Census Director Fi Dana Durand, and his fi- nal recommendations have been trans- mitted to Secretary Nagel, of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor. There will be 320 supervisors’ dis- tricts; the United States being subdi- vided into 329 districts and the other comprising Porto Rico. The number of supervisors will be 330, the limit fixed by Congress. Alaska and Ha- waii will have their census taken un- der the supervision of special agents of the Census Bureau, After the appointment of supervis- ors by the President, confirmations by the Senate will be required. In due course, the supervisors will designate to the Census Director the persons selected as enumerators and, with his consent, will employ and commission them. Following the provisions of the cen- sus law, the boundaries of ,each su- pervisors’ district have been made to conform to a Congressional district as far as practicable, taking into con- sideration the density of population and the difficulty of communication, ‘The Southern States in which the supervisors’ districts conform exactly to the Congressional districts and the number of supervisors allotted to each are as follows: Alabama, 9; Arkan sas, 7; Florida, 3; Georgia, 11; Ken. tucky, 11; Mississippi, 8; North Caro lina, 10; South Carolina,7; Tennessee 19; Texas, 16, and Virginia, 10. Those in which the supervisors’ dis: tricts differ from the Congressiona districts and the number of supervis ors allotted to each are as follows: Louisiana, 6; Maryland, 5; Missouri 14; Oklahoma, 5. ‘Those which are separately consid ered as a single supervisors’ distric are: Arizona, District of Columbia anc New Mexico, Several cities and many single coun ties are each considered a separat supervisors’ district. Precedent ha: been in the main respected. SOUTH NASHVILLE A. M. E. DIS TRICT CONFERENCE. The A.M. E. District Conference and Sunday-School Convention of the South Nashville P. B. District con- vened at Mt. Juliet, Tenn., Wednes- day, the 14th inst. with Rev. G. L. Jackson, Presiding Elder, presiding. This district consists of fifteen ap pointments in the Tennessee Confer. ence, the most prominent of which are St. Paul-and Bethel, of this city. Every charge was represented by the pastor or official if not both, ex cepting Rock Hill and Rock Vale, Good reports came in from most ot the churches and about $425.00 were brought in for the cause of education. This was remarkable considering the meager support of most of the pas tors. The people of Mt, Juliet are excel: lent hosts and the way they enter tained the conference made every delegate wish for more time to spend in such pleasant environments. The pastor, Rey. S, J. Howard, is popular with his people and-is certainly wor thy of the confidence reposed in him. Presiding Elder Jackson presided like a veteran and seems equal to every situation, That the district Sunday-schools ‘may be better looked after, Rev. Luzz, of Nashville, was chosen district. su- ‘perintandent, with a full corps of officers. Mrs, Harriet Campbell, of ‘St, Paul Church, was made district chairman of the Stewardesses, Many improvements are expected through these organizations. The conference closed Sunday with a sermon by the Rt, Rey. Evans Ty- ree, Bishop of Texas. Bishop Tyree is a wonderful preacher and he preached a great sermon to an audi ence which overflowed the church and crowded the woods around, Mt. Juliet will never forget that great day, BRAVE SHERIFF OVERAWES MOB AND PREVENTS LYNCH- ING.

The Literary Circle of Smyrna is planning to have a Literary day, Sunday, July 25, '09. The circle is only one month old and is meeting with excellent success. Mrs. Lovie Wendell, who organized this wonderful work, has aroused all lovers of literature. The memorial of Mrs. Ellen Perry Smith, formerly of Smyrna, Tenn., who died in Phoenix, Ariz., May 2, '09, was held Sunday, July 18, '09, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church at 11 a.m. The following programme was solemnly carried out: Opening song, "Abide with me," choir. Scripture reading, S. K Ridley; song, "Come ye reading, S. K Ridley; song, "Come ye disconsolate," choir; prayer, Mr. Jas Brown; "Only a dream," Mrs. L. M. Wendell; "Take on her life." Rev. John Ridley; paper, Life of Mrs. Smith, Mrs. M. C. Wade; duet, "Looking this way," Mrs. Edna Drennan and Dr. Hamilton; poem, Mrs. Amanda Brown; paper, Mr. Jno. Wade; solo, "Longing for Heaven," Mrs. Mary Wade; "Her life in school," Mrs. Lizzie Smith; "Thy will be done," choir. A copy of her funeral services left in Phoenix, Ariz., was read by Mrs. Lovie Wendell. Mrs. Smith left Smyrna last fall in search of health and located at Phoenix, Ariz. She wrote letters of encouragement home saying she felt the climate would do her good, but every effort seemed to fail. God saw fit to take her unto himself, even though she desired to live to see loved ones here at home, and in letters told her mother that her husband was doing all in his power to make all comfortable for her during her hours of illness, and her friends and neighbors put forth every effort to relieve her, but still she said, "Mama over all of this I need a mother's care. To see you all would help me, but I'm too far, too weak to undertake the trip;" and before the letter reached her loving mother's hands a sad message by wire came that "Ellen was dead." What a shock to the entire bereaved family and friends! For Ellen was loved by all who knew her. When in Hot Springs she held a high office in the Calanthe Court. While here she held a class in the Sunday-school of her church. Even though her presence is missed in our midst and she now sleeps beneath the sod in a distant land, her life and good works shall ever live for ceaseless ages—when He calls his own together and the mists have rolled away we shall see and know her as we are known. Her soul is sleeping with the just Where all is peace and love. CLARKSVILLE NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snordon have returned from a pleasant trip to Dawson Springs. Mr. L. L.

One of the best Brass and Reed Bands in the State will furnish Daily Concerts. Electric piano, new luminary that bids fair to eclipse all the known colored singers. The wonderful soprano voice of Mme. Jennie Curtley was discovered two years ago by Francis Walker, the baritone, well-known in Europe and America, who is now settled in Spokane. He finds Mme. Curtley's voice superior to those of the great soprano now before the public in that it has, in addition to an astonishing upward range, the heavy tones of a contralto down to the F below the treble staff. She has, in fact, three entire octaves. Her repertoire includes such great test numbers as the Proch "Theme and Variations." Benedict's "Carnival of Venice," Eckert's "Swiss Song," and many great operatic selections. At a recent recital it was said that for purity of style and intense feeling nothing could exceed her renditions of the Brahm's "Lullaby," the "Last Rose of Summer," and other classics. Her voice has a great volume and much natural flexibility and is brilliant and true in tone. Mme. Curtley, without having special beauty, is decidedly attractive, with a stately yet genial presence, and a mobile and expressive face. She is well educated and has charming manners. All her training thus far has been carried on by Francis Walker, who, by the way, is the author of the famous "Letters of Naritone." He has had a fine career as a singer and is the best known instructor in the northwest. At a recent concert Mme. Curtley was assisted by Charles C. Daniels, whose splendid baritone voice will henceforth be under Mr. Walker's care. The two singers will appear together under the direction of their teacher, and when adequate tenor and contralto voices are found, a concert company will be formed with Mme. Curtley as the star attraction. She has already had many offers of engagements, but wisely decided to remain, at least another year, under the guidance of the teacher who discovered her extraordinary powers and brought them to their present stage of development.

There is something in and about the mountainous section of Tennessee that not only compels the water to run off the hills and down the valleys toward Nashville, but this something forces the trade from hundreds of prosperous communities, important villages, hamlets and crossroads to find its way to Nashville, where wants of every kind can be supplied. A retrospective view of the important location of Nashville will readily convince the outside world of the city's importance. In middle Tennessee there are places that will rival any of the great cities of the United States in a commercial way, which argues much for Nashville and its future. "A glance over the map," said a business man in this city some days ago, "is all that is necessary to impress any capitalist, manufacturer or enterprising man of the importance attached to Nashville as a commercial center." Going north from Nashville over one of the principal railroads in the south which runs directly north and south, the Louisville & Nashville, the traveler passes through Woodland, Pilot Knob, Galatin, Hendersonville, Pilot Knob, Galatin, Black Lodge, Bakers, Green Bay, ou, Springfield, Cedar Hill, and Guth rei THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1909 graphophones, and other instruments will be heard. Fisk Jubilee and other noted singers will entertain the thousands of music lovers. All drill corps, lodges, societies, schools, banks, brokers, bonding companies, and citizens with vehicles, floats, horseback riders, etc., will compose a beautiful spectacle as they move through the streets of Nashville to the Fair Grounds. Prof. Booker T. Washington will be the orator of the day and the entire State should hear him. Will bring together the best women of the race and they will furnish their own speakers and present one of the finest exhibits of the Fair. Will be filled in with Baseball, foot-races, wrestling matches, boxing, sack-races, greased-pigs, etc. 1st Day, Organization Day all drill corps, lodges, societies, schools, be riders, bonding companies, and citizens with us, floats, horseback riders, etc., will con beautiful spectacle as they move through sets of Nashville to the Fair Grounds.

The Tennessee Central Railroad runs west from Nashville, and passing through several enterprising towns, principal among them being Clarksville, Tenn., and Hopkinsville, Ky. South on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad some very important towns are touched, namely, Brentwood, Franklin, Thompson, Columbia, Lynnville and Pulaski. The Nashville, Chattanooga and Saint Louis Railroad passes Decherd La Vergne, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Wartrace, Tullahoma and in close touch to other thriving towns in the southwestern part of the state. On the same road going west the great farming section of the state, fertile and noted for its agricultural advantages, is traversed. Nashville vies with Memphis in controlling this section of the state. It is safe to say that as far as McKenzie, Union City, Hollow Rock Junction and Jackson the trade comes toward Nashville. The Tennessee Central Railroad draws the trade to Nashville as far east as Knoxville. THE UNVEILING OF REV. WILL IAM LAWRENCE'S MONUMENT. The unveiling of Rev.
