SCIENTIFIC FARMING DEMONSTRATED BY COMPETENT PROFESSORS—OPENING EXERCISES FILLED WITH INSPIRATION—BISHOP TYREE DELIVERS WELCOME ADDRESS—COL. JOHN THOMPSON TELLS OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE NEGRO ON THE FARM—URGES YOUNG NEGROES TO BUY LAND—GOVERNOR MALCOM R. PATTERSON SPEAKS TO THE DELEGATES. The first annual session of the Tennessee Colored Farmers' Institute convened in the Hall of Representatives at the state capitol Wednesday morning, July 28, at ten o'clock. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Ben Carr, Invocation, Rev. C. H. Clark, of Nashville. After invocation Mr. Carr was put in nomination by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac for president of the Institute. The motion was seconded by D. A. Hart. Rev. Wm. Haynes was called to the chair to put the motion. Dr. Isaac stated that Mr. Carr, to his mind, was the proper man for the position, as he had been very vigilant in his efforts to put the movement on foot. He said the organization needed at its head a man who would be in harmony with all the people, and Mr. Carr was fortunate in being such a man. Mr. Carr was elected without a dissenting voice. On taking the chair Mr. Carr said he thanked the delegates for the honor and assured them that he would do all in his power to make the movement a success. Dr. E., W. D. Isaac was elected secretary and D. A. Hart treasurer. This completed the organization. The meeting was then [Name not visible] DR. R. F. BOYD. ready to get down to listen to the address of welcome by Bishop Evans Tyree, of Nashville, Bishop Tyree said: "If there are any men in this country who deserve the respect of all the people, it is the farmers. It is an honor to be a farmer, both as a hireling and as an owner, but more honorable as an owner. Mankind is dependent upon the tillers of the soil. Sometimes it is said of a man, Oh, he is just a farmer, he doesn't amount to much; but when the meal bin is empty, and the smoke house is without meat the farmer becomes the most important man around. Every boy ought to know something about country life—the farm. It is there that he gets his muscle and his first knowledge of nature. He comes in contact with the horse, the mule, the cow, the sheep, the hog and the birds, and all nature, and develops into manhood strong and wiser for having come in contact with these things." He said he considered his knowledge gained on the farm when a boy of incalculable benefit to him now. " "In my day they did not have the improved methods they have now, (Continued on Page Two.)

No. 30. BOSTON THE MEGGA FOR NEGRO DOCTORS National Medical Association Meets in August THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION WILL BE HELD FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH TO TWENTY-SIXTH—COMMITTEE HAS ARRANGEMENTS ABOUT COMPLETED—PLANNING TO ENTERTAIN VISITORS ROYALLY—BEST HOSPITALS IN EAST WILL BE THROWN OPEN—MANY HISTORICAL SIGHTS TO BE SEEN—NASHVILLE WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED—NEXT SESSION MAY BE HELD SOUTH The Eleventh Annual Session of the National Medical Association will be held August 24-26, 1909, in Boston. The doctors of New England assure the members of the National Medical Association of the hearty New England welcome awaiting them in Boston August 24-26, 1909. Never in the history of the National Medical Association have the people of any section shown greater interest in the coming of the society than have the people of Boston and New England. The Committee of Arrangements has been fortunate in securing the co-operation of a large Citizens' Committee and a still larger Ladies' Auxiliary to help arrange the necessary details for the session. Including the medical profession in New England, and the laity, there are actively engaged in arranging this meeting over a thousand men and women, wives of physicians, representative women and the younger ladies of New England are generously contributing their services. The necessary funds are being freely contributed by the medical profession and public spirited citizens. There is uniform co-operation of the profession and public, who are striving to make the arrangements worthy of the great National Association. Arrangements are being made for operations and clinics in well-equipped hospitals, among which are the Massachusetts General Hospital, the oldest of all, the Boston City Hospital. M. E. B. Auditor People's Savings Bank and Trust Co. where, after the clinics, luncheon will be served complimentary to the visiting doctors; the Plymouth Hospital, the Blossom Street Children's Hospital and the Boston Dispensary and the St. Monica's Consumptive Hospital. The scientific exhibits, the clinical exhibits and the practical clinical demonstrations will prove sufficient scientific entertainment to well repay attendance. Harvard Medical School and Tufts' Medical school, with their well-equipped pathological laborato, ries, will be thrown open to the profession for inspection. Boston offers much from a historical point of view. The history of the state began with the sacrifice of a physician at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Here ether was first publicly demonstrated, and a monument stands in the public Garden to mark that event. It is the home of Longfellow, Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Crispus Attucks, Robert Gould Shaw and a host of others whose lives have made American history and literature. Boston and its vincinity are rich in educational institutions. Here are found the New England Conservatory of Music, Harvard College, Boston Public Library, Trinity church of Phillips Brooks fame, and the homes of many of the leading intellectual and cultured impulses of America. In short, Boston is the Athens of the Western Hemisphere. Among the places of historic interest must be mentioned Faneuil Hall, "The Cradle of American Liberty," Paul Revere's House, old South Church, Bunker Hill Monument, Robert Gould Shaw Monument, the State House and many others equally significant and interesting. The citizens of New England are looking forward with much pleasure to the coming of their visitors. The entertainment committee has spared no pains to make their visit enjoyable. Most spacious and beautiful hall has been secured for the ball and banquet. The Ladies' Auxiliary has planned a reception to the visiting doctors and wives. Bass Point, a beautiful picnic ground, has been secured for an outing on the Friday in convention week. Many other social features are all well arranged. Nashville will be well represented at this session of the association, as many of the leading physicians of the country are located here. Among those expected to attend are Dr. C. V. Roman, who is editor of the medical journal published by the National Medical Association; Drs. J. H. Hale, J. B. Singleton, C. O. Hadley, A. M. Townsend, C. B. Wilson, P. R. Burus, E. B. Jefferson, R. F. Boyd, J. H. McMillan, J. A. Lester, F. A. Stewart, Miss Josie E. Wells and several others. Tennessee will also be well represented at the meeting as delegations are expected from Chattanooga, Knoxville and Memphis, and one or two physicians from other towns throughout the state. These men and women who are representatives of the highest profession known to man are always welcome in any city, and as the Negro doctors have a great responsibility upon them. 2 and are expected to take a leading part in checking the onslaught of the dreaded "White Plague" among the Negroes of this country, the eyes of the public are focussed on their every move and heed is given to every utterance made by them in these national meetings. That they are cognizant of this fact is best shown by the many hospitals and infirmaries being erected by the Negro doctors throughout the country. Meharry Medical College in this city, and others of its kind in other cities are sending forth every year hundreds of young men and women who are doing a great work for humanity. Another asset of the association that is considered a wise move is the medical journal started since the last meeting, and the selection of Dr. C. V. Roman, of this city, as editor, shows that the members of the profession sent as delegates to the national meeting possessed the courage to lay aside personal ambitions and select men to fill positions strictly on merit. The last two sessions of the meeting have been held in the East and it is thought that the next will be held in some of the leading Southern cities. No better place could be selected than Nashville, and if the opinion to come South takes on tangible form the delegates from the state will look after Tennessee's interest.

Negroes who expect to vote should not lose sight of the fact that they which tells us that the farmers are becoming more progressive, and it means that the intelligent framer will succeed. In the West they are advertising for 5,000 men to harvest the crops. Our people will probably be the main tillers of the soil for many years to come, and may be for all time for all I know. Since this is true, we ought to be the best. We want our young people to return to the farm, and then we want them to know that they can stay there when they go. No man can work in the day unless he can sleep at night. By authority given me, I welcome you here to partake of the kindness offered you by this grand and noble man, the Commissioner of Agriculture, and hope that you will gain much information that will aid you in your agricultural pursuits." Dr. Isaac was asked to respond in the absence of Prof. Greer. Dr. Isaac declined in favor of Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Church. He was prevailed upon and responded to the welcome address. Prof. Kealing said he was present because he was interested in the farm. This is a day of diversified farming. The enlightened farmer is an absolute necessity. He said to his knowledge this was the first state in the Union to give special attention to Negro farmers, and it marks the beginning of a brighter day. Wealth knows no color. The corn raised by the black man is just the same as the corn raised by the white man from the same kind of seed; cotton raised by a black man is as white as that raised by a white man, so these things know no difference in man, but will respond to the application of all alike, and this beginning is a sign of greater things in store for the Negro farmers of the South." Col John Thompson, Commissioner of Agriculture, was introduced. He said "The Farmers' Institute is for the purpose of disseminating knowledge of farming along scientific lines among the colored people. You know and I know, and it is admitted on every hand, that in order to be a good citizen a man must be a part owner. "I rent a house from a man, and that house catches fire and burns down. I see the house on fire, I rush in and bring out all the things in the house and then stand by contentedly and see the house burn down, whereas if the house was my own I would be as deeply interested in the house as the furniture, and would do everythings in my power to save both. I want every colored man, and especially the young man, to make up his mind to become a land owner. He makes a better citizen when he is a taxpayer. As they become owners of land and taxpayers they will be measured by their worth and will be given their due. If he makes good his fellow-men will know it. "At the rate we are going we will not be able to feed ourselves in a few years." He cited a case in Scotland where a boy seventeen years old worked for 35 cents a day, walked three miles to work and spent 14 cents for food. That condition does not concern us yet, but it will in a few years unless we wake up to the situation. The farmers of the future will be the most important men in the country. Make up your minds to save your money. Living is getting higher every day, you who live in the city know that better than I do, for I live in the country. The opportunity of the farmers was never brighter, and you have a great chance to make good. Make up your minds to excel and there is no place that offers as promising inducement to the colored man as the farm. HOSPITABLY ENTERTAINED Rev. R. A. McCloud, of Mobile, Ala., had a pleasant two week's stay at the home of Mrs. A. L. Caruthers, of 1044 Edgehill avenue.

FINE RECORD: A splendid record has been made by Mr. W. J. Latham, attoney-at-law, who finished his course at Walden University with the class of '02. He is, no doubt, the leading Negro lawyer in Middle Mississippi, and easily the leading one in Jackson, and yet there are eight in that city. Mr. Latham has a library excelled only by that of Judge Mollison, of Vicksburg. Aside from that, Judge Latham, for he has justly won this title from his able pleadings, is looked upon by all as the best prepared. His office is fitted up in splendid shape and he is the attorney for two of the leading grand lodges and some of the big business firms of Jackson. Nashville people, no doubt, will recall his school days in this city. THE ROCK CITY SANITARIUM Is an ideal Health Home, delightfully located in East Nashville, corner Foster and Stewart streets.

FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1909. TWO SIDES One morning this week a policeman was seen leading two little Negro boys to the station house. Neither of them looked to be over ten years old. It was a pathetic sight. At first glance the average person would have condemned the policeman. He would be considered, without a second thought, as a cruel, hard-hearted man, who, simply because he had the authority to do it, delighted in thrusting helpless boys into prison. Thus would conclusions be reached without reflection. But if we would be fair we must look at the situation on both sides. We pay the policemen to preserve order in the city. Their duty is to correct the people, and when necessary arrest any one acting in an unbecoming way. The policeman who was seen with the two boys referred to no doubt had just cause to arrest them. Our guardians of the peace are as mean as can be found in any city in the world, but we do not believe there is a man on the force so mean that he would arrest a ten-year old boy without a cause. Parents in too many instances turn their children into the streets with the admonition not to return to bother them for so many and so many hours. Boys and even girls from five to ten years of age, given over to themselves. No sane man would expect anything but weeds from his farm unless he gave it his constant attention, then how unreasonable is it to expect children to be what they ought to be without the constant restraining influence of their parents. There is nothing in the streets for children to do but get into mischief, and they can and do learn many things detrimental to them between the years of five and ten if they are allowed to come in contact daily with degrading influences. The mind is never idle. Children love to play, and it is cruel to deprive them of the privilege nature has so graciously given them, but they must be taught how and where to play. They must be made to understand that they cannot play with everything that would probably furnish them amusement. They cannot think for themselves, but a boy ten years old can do acts to the everlasting detriment of others. It is the duty of parents to take the time to teach their children right from wrong, and when they fail the hard hand of the law is thrust in. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1909 The two little boys seen in charge of the policeman though of tender years, were walking as complacently as if they had been going to Sundayschool with their father. Other little fellows were running along as well contented as if nothing had happened. Evidently these boys have been allowed too much latitude, and their parents doubtless have neglected to train them up as they would have them be, consequently boys that might have become useful citizens some day are hardened lawbreakers before they reach their teens. TILLING THE SOIL. The first session of the Tennessee Colored Farmers' Institute that has just closed at the State Capitol is a move calculated to result in much good to the State of Tennessee and to her Negro citizens in particular. There is no denying the fact that the South is backward in farming and truck raising. Thousands of acres of land are laying idle in Tennessee, and in every Southern State, that would be yielding an abundance of foodstuffs if properly attended to. Carloads of potatoes are shipped from the North and West into the markets of the South every year that might be produced at home. In view of these facts, who would dare say that the Negroes of the South should not be encouraged to turn their attention to Mother Earth? Is it because life on the farm is burdensome? It is true that he who would succeed at anything must find something to do all the time, but it must be admitted that the farmer's life is not near so crowded with vexations as the life of the city merchant. And the same is true of the laborer on the farm and the laborer in the city. In the country every man has the same privilege to breathe pure air and to drink from fountains scooped out by nature's hand, whereas, only the rich in the cities have the time or the means to avail themselves of the opportunities offered them to visit parks and watering places; then what objection can any one offer to being a farmer? The greatest opportunity for the young Negro man to accomplish something is where he has the least resistance, and it is true beyond the shadow of a doubt that he has the least opposition on the farm. The institute is a grand move. The beginning is very encouraging, and we believe that after the news shall have reached the rural sections the Negro farmers will catch the inspiration, and the second annual session will see Nashville crowded with men anxious to learn the art of tilling the soil in a way to make it profitable. The Nashville Tennessean is very much disturbed because the Commissioner of Agriculture saw fit to hold a Colored Farmers' Institute. It reminds us of a drowning man catching at a straw. The colored Y. M. C. A. of this city is taking on new life. Men of influence, are taking an active part in the new effort. The young men are deserving of the encouragement of all. President Taft, it seems, has been given the tariff elephant to handle by himself. Mr. Taft is a heavy-weight and ought to make a good showing. James J. Jeffries has posted his forfeit for a fight with Jack Johnson. The sporting public has lost interest in the mill and will have to be shown before they will believe that it is going to be pulled off. Mr. Jackson, the Georgia Cotton King, still holds the record for early delivery of a new bale of cotton. The white staple will grow as fast for Negroes at it will for white men under similar conditions. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Wiley University Annual. It is indeed a creditable piece of work for students of any college. COMMUNICATION To the Nashville Globe: To the Nashville Globe. The positive and negative position or attitude of those who oppose the Negro people is a strange and almost insolvable enigma that contradicts truth and reason. What makes the situation acute is not because of what the bad Negro does more than the bad man of any other race, but because of what the intelligent, industrious, thrifty, businesslike and property-getting Negro is doing in pushing the battle of racial progress to the gate, thereby evincing his ability and worthiness to measure steel mentally and porportionately to his chances with other men in the competitive struggle and affairs of life. There are some things that demonstrate the enigmatical opposition to the pushful, insistent oncoming of the Negro. For instance, the indecisiveness of the don't-know-what-to-do with the Negro is made plain by the street car systems of two of Tennessee's large cities, Nashville and Chattanooga, only 150 miles apart, and operated under the same state separate car or coach statute, in the one the Negro citizens seat from the rear forward and in the other they seat from the front rearward. Strange predicament! The Negro rides behind in one of these sister cities and in front in the other. This seems to indicate that the law is adjustable to the whim or situation and not the whim or situation to the law. Or the same law in the selfsame words designates for Nashville the front of the car as the most desirable part and for Chattanooga the rear. Thus the don't-know-what-to-do-with - the -Negro enigma runs on its insolvable course. Dear old Georgia is to the fore with her erratic self in the role of a legislative positive and negative enigma on the don't-know-what-to-do-with-the Negro situation. The following paragraph from an editorial in one of the daily papers of this city shows the enigmatical position of poor old inexplicable Georgia with regard to her citizens of color: "The revenue bill was under discussion in the Georgia Legislature yesterday, and it contained a proposition to place $500 tax on immigration agents. When the clause was read, pending consideration of the bill, Representative Lewis of Hancock County said: 'I move that this clause be stricken out. We have been yelling that we want to be rid of the Negro, and that we want him sent to Africa, or Asia, or the Philippines, and now, when a man comes along and wants to send a few of the shiftless and lazy ones North we propose to charge him $500 for the privilege of doing something that will be for our benefit.' The dispatches state that 'Lewis' appeal won and the clause was killed." The above editorial thought is eloquent as showing the positive and negative notion of those who bitterly oppose creditable progress by the Negro. Why does this Georgia solon want to send to the North "a few of the shiftless and lazy ones" of our race? Why did he not let "Peg Leg" Williams take them away when he was there attempting to do so? The Negro was less inclined to put away a nest egg for himself and family then than now, and thereby hang a tale. Oh, well, Georgia will be Georgia or break a trace. Another instance is when the "fighting" Tenth Calvary was ordered home from the Philippines after signal service in that far-away and hostile possession capital was attempted to be of the objection of a few sore-heads, haters of Negro, but when the war-worn but brave troopers had disembarked and went marching with proud and gallant tread along a popular street in New York City which was crowded with teeming and scrambling thousands of spectators a burst of applause broke forth that told of "withholdless" admiration and this ran all along the line. The sight of those brave and gallant men who had faced all the hell of guerilla warfare in the Philippine Islands broke down for the time being at least the positive and negative enigma. This miniature narrative might run on indefinitely, but suffice it to say in conclusion that this tantalizing and retarding enigma is going to be solved by the worthy and creditable majority of Negro American citizenship.

The Nashville Tennessee, a daily paper published in this city, has caused quite a commotion among its Negro subscribers by an editorial that appeared in a recent issue in which Mr. B. J. Carr, president of the Colored Farmers' Institute, was held up to ridicule. imagined he was one—or two—three co-ordinate departments of government. Considering that he was there by the Patterson administration it is greatly to Ben's credit that did not attempt to have the Pat political institute repeal the petition laws. Wisely Ben reserve proceeding for the election day put in his time speaking to the They are outspoken in their denunciation of the paper. Thousands of Negroes read the Tennessean and they considered the attack on Mr. Carr as a most cowardly one and an insult to every Negro who loves peace and progress. Again they do not feel justified in paying their money for a paper that makes such statements about the members of the race who are trying to better their conditions and the conditions of the State. They do not hesitate to stamp the charge that the Negreos are a tool of the whisky element as false upon its face. From expressions heard it was made clear that the Negroes have no apologies to make for having voted for Patterson for Governor, and they seem steadfast in the intention to vote for him again if the occasion presents itself, no matter who might be put on as an opponent. The editorial was as follows: PATTerson'S POLITICAL INSTITUTE. July 28, 1909, was a great day for Ben Carr and the Patterson campaign of 1910. Ben's history is not without other red-letter days. He used to be a porter—so the other porters thought—but the Supreme Court decided he was a messenger. Since then the other porters have had it in for Ben. But little cares Ben for the hatred of the other porters so long as he is, not only a messenger for the Supreme Court, but is the duly authorized messenger of the Patterson administration, to carry glad tidings of great joy to a down-trodden race, and bring back gladder tidings of greater joy that "all the niggers is fur Patterson." But we are getting away from "the subject of our sketch." We started in to write about Ben; but somehow yesterday's events brought Ham to our mind; and we fear we cannot write of Ben without mentioning Ham. Three letters form each name; and both names meant the same thing in yesterday's program. This program opened up with the picture of Ben in the Patterson whiskysonian American. Now, the American is not averse to printing pictures as everybody knows who has watched its society page of late. It is not surprising then, that the American should have been "born again" and reproduced Ben's likeness after he had received the blessing of the Patterson administration, and had been anointed with the title of "Director" of election returns from his subdivision in 1910. On the same day that Director Ben made his debut into the Patterson organ's whisky and Black Bottom promoting picture department the Patterson administration extended to Ben the privilege of the Speaker's chain of the House of Representatives. Here the Supreme Court messenger no doubt imagined he was one—or two—of the three co-ordinate departments of government. Considering that he was put there by the Patterson administration, it is greatly to Ben's credit that he did not attempt to have the Patterson political institute repeal the prohibition laws. Wisely Ben reserved this proceeding for the election day, and put in his time speaking to this end by talking of other matters. To be elevated to the Speaker's chair, made honorable to other statesmen who have goats before, were honor enough for any reasonable Negro. But to be thus elevated by the Patterson administration, and on the very day the honoree's picture appeared in the Patterson organ, is a glory that has come to but few of the Negro race. It shows the immense possibilities opened to members of the African race. [Name] E. R. CARNEY, Director People's Savings Bank and Trust Company. under the beneficent influence of a wise and patriotic State administration that will need Negro votes, and is determined to have Negro votes, to keep their whisky-sodden machinery in power and repeal the prohibition and election laws. That's why we say July 28, 1909, was a big day in the history of the Ben Carr and Patterson campaign of 1910. July 28, 1909. Remember the day. We did not hear Ben's speech. We hope to have the exquisite pleasure of reading it, along with the other speeches made at this Patterson political institute, when they shall have been printed in pamphlet form by Ben's administration friends and cast upon the colored waters to enlarge the election returns after many days. But we know Ben made a good speech. The administration always prepares good speeches. And is not Ben now a Director General of the Patterson administration? Even so. And more honors will be yet thrust upon him the more intensive are his farming methods on election day in 1910. There was only one thing bad (Continued on Page Eight.)

White, Physician and Surgeon and Eye Specialist, 805 Dt- vision street, near Spruce street or Highth avenue, South, in office with Dr. A. D. C. Rob. Dr. White is recent ly from Canada where he received his Medical education, Besides a gener- al practitioner of over nine years clinical experience in some of the largest hospitals abroad, he has made special study. in the treatment and operation of the diseases of the eye on which he has had four years prac- tical experience in English schools, Dr. White will also treat all condi- tions producing eye strain arising from astigmation, hyperopia, presby- opia, myopla, amblyopia, diplopia, spherical abberration, entopie pneu- monia, anstinopia, or any other de: fect causing discomfort. Our diagno ses are chiefly conducted by use of the ophthalmoscope. We prescribe for our patients the best quality len ses in the market at the lowest. pos- sible prices. Office hours 9 to 10 « m.; 2 to 5 p,m. ges WHY THE NEGRO 1S THE BEST LABORER FOR THE SOUTH. Mr. 8. B. Bond, one of the leading farmers of Springfield, Tenn., read a paper on “Why the Negro is the Best Laborer for the South.” Before we consider this great sub- ject we must see how many classes of laborers we have. First, the poor whites; second, the poor classes of foreigners, and last, but not least, the Negro. We know that we must have men to handle the wealth of the South such as grain and coal, iron, cotton and all other products. Two thirds of the ‘raw material of this country {s pro- duced in the Southern state; so let us see who are the best laborers to handel it to the best advantage. One reason why the Negroes are called the best laborers in the South is because they can endure more heat than any other race, The white mat lean not stand the heat of the sun ar well as the Negro. Again the for eigners will not labor on the farm like the Negroes. They will flock togeth- er and will not work only in squads, in order that they may keep up a con- fusion all the time. In a week or two they will select a foreman, and unless you employ him at a good price they will all go on a strike no matter what it cost. Take for instance the steel mill and coal mines at Ensley, Alabama, and the furnaces at Birmingham, Ala- bama, At the steel plant at Ensley, Alabama, they employ between eigh- teen hundred and two thousand men. Among this number one hundred were | Negroes, The foreman of these was | released and Dagoes were put in the , Negroes places, Shortly after _ this change was made one of the foreign: ers was arrested and on account of ‘this, all the rest stopped work, caus jing the plant to stand for two hours jand fifty minutes, something that had jnever happened before. If the stee , had frozen it would have cost the ‘company $10,000, besides throwin; | cighteen hundred men out of work | Negroes have never been known t |do such a thing. A few absent them | selves a day at a time to go to a pic jnic, or some Other trivial thing, bu || they seldom strike, and never becaus | one of their number happens to be a1 rested for some misdemeanor. ‘Ther are many other causes that could b j cited to show that tne Negro is th | bestelaborer for the south, but tim ‘| will not permit.
