THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. TRUSTEES BOARD MEETING AT SAINT PAUL. African Methodist From All Parts. OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE IN SESSION HERE—SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL RALLY FOR TURNER COLLEGE—EAST TENNESSEE CONFERENCE CARRIES OFF CONFERENCE HONORS—NASHVILLE PASTOR CROWNED EDUCATIONAL MONEY KING—BISHOP PARKS OF CHICAGO PRESIDED AT MEETING—$5,000.00 AMOUNT TO BE RAISED—$4,000 COLLECTED AT THIS MEETING The Trustees of Turner Normal College, the state educational institution of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Tennessee, met in St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday morning, August 4, at ten o'clock. The meeting was opened with Scripture reading by Dr. J. W. Pickett, of the West Tennessee Conference. He read from the 23rd chapter of Isaiah. Hymn No. 12 was sung. Dr. Rye offered prayer. Ritualistic services were conducted by Rev. H. L. P. Jones, of the Tennessee Conference. At the conclusion of the ritualistic services Rev. Shelto, of REV. A. BROOKS, Crowned Educational Money King of the African Methodist of Tenn- essee. He Raised $157.15. Memphis, sang "Will there be any stars in my crown?" Bishop H. B. Parks, of Chicago, Ill., who is over the Tennessee Conference, in calling the meeting to order, stated that he was sure every one was glad the business of the hour would be dispatched as rapidly as possible. The secretary called the roll. Three conferences were represented in the meeting—the Tennessee Annual Conference, West Tennessee Conference and the East Tennessee Conference. The names of the members of the Trustee Board were called by conference and those who had and those who had not paid were made aware of the fact. Several paid when their names were called. The question arose that some of the trustees who were elected were not cognizant of the fact that they held such positions, as they did not see their names in the minutes, but it was shown that their names were printed in the minutes. Bishop Parks called the attention of the members of the board to the necessity of showing the new members that they are members. He said unless they were apprised of the fact that their aid was needed and that they were considered a part of the body they would not feel interested in the work. He said that the secretary should have notified each trustee officially of his election. At the end of the roll call the presiding elders were requested to make their reports. The Fayetteville District was called first. Rev. J. H. Smith, presiding elder, reported for his district. He cited the fact that the African Methodists of Tennessee had been awakened. He reported $350.50. His assessment was $300, and went $50.50. He asked permission to sing a verse of the rally song. He inspired the members of the Conference. The Chattanooga District was next. He stated that his district was assessed $300 and he had that amount and $20 over. Bishop Tyree came in and was introduced and expressed himself as being very happy to see the Tennessee Methodists awakening. He said that the time was when we met in our District Conferences, read a few papers and raised probably $50 and went home satisfied. The condition is changed now. We meet for a purpose, and I hope it will continue so for all time to come. Dr. G. L. Jackson reported for the South Nashville District $465.00 His assessment was $550.00. Dr. T. W. Haigler, of the Nashville District, reported $438.16. Dr. J. Q. Johnson reported for the Columbia District $388.93. Rev. H. L. P. Jones reported for the Shelbyville District. He reported $481.10. Dr. C. P. Shelton reported from West Tennessee Conference $251.65 Dr. J. W. Pickett reported $188.27. Rev. G. W. Porter, of the Clarksville District of the West Tennessee Conference, reported $230.00 Rev. Rye, of West Tennessee, reported $200.00 Rev. A. L. Pinkston reported $110.65 for the Dickson District. Total reported by Conferences—East Tennessee Conference, $670.50; Tennessee -Annual Conference, $1805.76; West Tennessee Conference, $990.57; total, $3,464.83. Several of the presiding elders who were behind in their reports supplemented them during the sessions and raised the total to $4,000.00 ANOTHER BANK FOR NEGROES South Increasing in Financial Instructions for the Race. Birmingham, Ala., Aug 2—There is to be located in this city another Negro bank, in fact the organization has been perfected and the name given, which is the Prudential Savings Bank and Trust Co, with a capital stock of Fifty Thousand Dollars, all of which is being subscribed for and paid in by the people of this section of the state. The time for opening has been set for January 2, 1910, in order to get everything in readiness, including the proper and necessary furniture and vaults. It was stated Saturday that $15,000 of the stock had already been sold and that the $25,000 which the state laws provide should be paid before a bank can open for business, will be more than taken up. The demand for this third bank among the Negroes is said to be on account of the "Greater Birmingham" move, bringing in more than a half-dozen small towns and burgs, making this the metropolis of the South from an industrial and manufacturing view-point. The Negroes of the mineral district handle many thousands of dollars each week, thus the field is said to be sufficiently fertile for the operation of three banks. All classes of business and professional men are contributing by subscribing for stock. When the Prudential Bank opens Birmingham will move up in the column next to Richmond in point of banks, with Nashville, Tenn., Boley, Okla., Vicksburg and Jackson, Miss., each with two banks to contest for their places later. No doubt the prime mover or one of the leading men in the organization is U. G. Mason, M. D., proprietor of the Mason Building. There are also several out of town men, one is said to be W. W. Cox, of Indianola, Miss., who is the undisputed second to Taylor, of Richmond, and Pettiford, of this place, as a banker. The number of Negro banks will be 53 if those which now have charters open. There are two for Meridian, Miss., with charters in hand, and about one-half the stock subscribed for and paid in and the fever has not stopped. There is much talk of a Negro bank for Selma, Ala., and there will be one if the plans now on foot do not fail, but no charter has as yet been taken out. The men guiding the movement are untiring in their efforts to put things in shape soon. ENTERTAINS LITTLE FRIENDS. Little Miss Louise Cormeal McGavock and Master Felix Cloyd entertained their little friends at their home last Sunday afternoon. Those present were little Miss Clara Dozler, Master Drake, Matthews and Tucker. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1909. M. R. DOCTOR CORNELIUS H. KNIGHT. Dr. Cornellius H. Knight has just arrived in this city from Canada in order to take up his practice. Dr. Knight began his studies in medicine in 1903 at the Public Hospital, Georgetown, British Guiana, his native home, as a dispenser and sick nurse, where he remained two years. He then entered Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 1905, where he made fair progress and during his third year in medicine he was made Prosector for his class in applied anatomy to medicine ploma of merit for the care and performed his d In May, 1909, obtaining the de Doctor of Medicine. After fini Knight decided a no better place young physician ville, Tenn., he this point. He office for service CONDEMNED MAN SEEKS FREE- DOM. Cecil Palmer, Colored, Files Habeas Corpus Petition. Claiming that the death sentence passed upon him by the Supreme Court at an adjourned session on July 29 is illegal, in that the law under which it was passed is ex post factor in effect, Cecil Palmer, colored, has filed a writ of habeas corpus before Judge M. H. Meeks. The charge against Palmer is rape. The date of his execution is September 2. The application will be heard by him this morning in the Circuit Court room. The principal reasons advanced by Palmer for release are as follows: That he was indicted in Wilson County in September, 1908. A few days after the indictment he was tried, found guilty as charged and his motion for new trial was overruled, whereupon he was sentenced to be hung in Wilson County by the Sheriff on October 26, 1908. That an appeal was prayed to the Supreme Court, which heard the case during the December term. The sentence of the lower court was affirmed and he was again sentenced to be hung May 1, 1909. The General Assembly on April 26, 1909, enacted a law providing for the execution of condemned persons at the State prison. This law was approved by the Governor May 1. It is claimed that the law under which he was sentenced was repealed by the latter law. It is claimed that he was tried under one law and is now laid liable to be punished under another, passed at a late date. Under the new law it is held that he may not hold conversation with another save prison officials on actual business; that he shall be clothed so as to distinguish him from other prisoners, and that he is liable for any infraction of the provisions of the law, to be held in solitary confinement for a period not exceeding thirty days. This, he claims, was not the spirit of the law under which he was tried. AUTOPSY HELD OVER BODY OF MRS. MULLIGAN. Mrs. Susie Mulligan, a highly respected woman, aged 70 years, was found dead in her bed Tuesday shortly after 4 o'clock at her home. 137 Fourteenth avenue, North. The old woman had considerable property, amounting to several thousand dollars, left her at the death of her hus- omy to medicine and surgery, a diploma of merit was awarded to him for the care and skill with which he performed his duties in that subject. In May, 1909, he was successful in obtaining the degree of M. D., C. M., Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery. After finishing his studies Dr. Knight decided at once that there was no better place in the country for a young physician to locate than Nashville, Tenn., he at once set out for this point. He will soon fit up an office for service to the public. band, and it is stated that she had more than $100 on her person yesterday morning. This was reported missing. For this reason it was thought that she was the victim of foul play and an autopsy was held at Johnson's, the undertaker, but no signs of foul play were found. The autopsy was made by Drs. McMillan, Boyd, Hadley, Stewart and Briggs, who found that she had died of heart trouble. Mrs. Mulligan was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens in this city. She was in apparently good health, and her death was a great surprise to her many friends. MISSOURIANS LYNCH A WHITE MAN. Platte City, Mo., August 2.—Geo. Johnson, white, who murdered John W. Moore, a farmer, June 20, was lynched early to-day. Feeling ran so high at the time of the killing that Johnson was taken to Kansas City for safe-keeping. His trial was to begin today, and he was returned to Platte City yesterday afternoon. Early this morning two men took a third man to the jail, representing him to be a prisoner. When the Sheriff opened the jail door the three overpowered him. Fifty other men quickly appeared and battered down the door of Johnson's cell. He was taken to a tree opposite the jail and strung up. RESPECTED WOMAN FOUND DEAD. Mrs. Susie Mulligan, who owns considerable property and who was highly respected by both white and colored people, was on Monday last found dead at her home. 137 Fourteenth avenue, North. As it was reported that the aged woman had a sum of money about her in the morning, which was missing in the afternoon, when she was found, that foul play was at first suspected, but after an autopsy was held by Drs. J. A. McMillan and C. O. Hadley it was seen that death resulted from mitral stenosis, the result of a calcareous deposit around the mitral valve. SIMPSON BROTHERS PASS THROUGH THE CITY Mr. A. M. Simpson and J. A. Simpson, of Florence, Ala., passed through the city this week en route home to visit their sick sister. Both of these young men are well known in Nashville, having attended school in this city at Walden University. No. 31. NEW BANK THROWS OPEN ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC. The People's Bank And Trust Company. MAKES BRILLIANT BEGINNING —STREAMS OF PEOPLE THRONG CEDAR STREET INSTITUTION ALL DAY SATURDAY— FURNITNRE AND FIXTURES RECEIVE FAVORABLE COMMENT ON EVERY HAND— STRONG VAULT BUILT IN BANK —MODERN AND IMPROVED APPLIANCES—MEN WHO WILL CONDUCT THE AFFAIRS OF THE CONCERN. On Saturday, July 31, the Negroes of Nashville and vicinity celebrated an important incident in the history of their efforts to make substantial headway in the financial and commercial world. The incident referred to was the opening of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company at 410 Cedar street. As had been announced promptly at nine o'clock Dr. R. F. Boyd, President; T. G. Ewing, Cashier; W. D. Hawkins, Teller, were seen to walk into the bank building in company with Dr. J. B. Singleton, chairman of the Executive Committee. Dr. Singleton at once turned over the keys of the bank to the president and stated to him that the institution was ready for occupancy. A tour of inspection was then made by these officials and after a thorough examination of every department, and after being satisfied that the vaults, safes, drawers, counting and adding machines, typewriters, typewriter desks, officers quarters, cashiers' quarters, desks, books, stationery and everything necessary to conduct a bank in a first-class and business-like way, he accepted the keys of the bank and ordered the officials to their respective places. T. G. Ewing was then seen to step to the window and hang up a large placard which read, "Bank open for Business." The large crowd that assembled on the side walk was invited to come in and inspect the building. The teller had taken his stand and before he had time to breathe there was a customer at his window. He reached his hand through the window to shake hands and the person looked surprised. Mr. Hawkins said "good morning," but the person said, "I want to make a deposit." The teller showed a sign of surprise, but mingled with his surprise was visible a look of happy delight. From that time until the shades of evening were settling a heavy curtain over the brightness of the day the stream of humanity continued coming and going. It is estimated that several thousand people visited the bank on the opening day. A large number of them deposited amounts ranging from $1 upwards. The teller and cashier were kept busy all day waiting on the customers while the president and other officials busied themselves looking after the visitors. Every one was shown through each department, and the method of conducting the bank was explained to them in a general way. Quite a number were heard to remark that they were so and so many years old, but had never been inside of a bank before in their lives. The opportunity to old men and women who have for over forty years longed to see the younger Negroes engaged in this kind of business were exultant in their praise of the men who are the promoters of this enterprise. They were unstinted in their expressions of delight, and could be heard on every hand remarking that they intended to deposit their money in the new bank. The furniture and fixtures of the People's Saving Bank and Trust Company were constantly being commented upon by the visitors, and in every instance the pronouncement of excellence was placed upon it. The furniture which was manufactured by the National Baptist Publishing Board D BISHOP EVANS TYREE, D. D. Who will deliver the Emancipation Oration at Greenwood Park on Monday August 9th. 2 is all made of quarter sawed oak of the very best grade. It is all hand made and hand polished, filled, varnished and shellaced. The floor is also of hardwood and dressed in a like manner. The vault is built of reinforced cement and hard pressed brick with double steel doors. The walls are four feet thick. A time lock safe is placed inside the vault. All the books and ledgers are of the most modern and up-to-date make, having all the features the same as those of the leading banking institutions in the country. Arithmometers, counting and adding machines, and every appliance to enable a banking house to do a systematic business in rapid time is in use in the new institution. The idea of another bank for Negroes of Nashville was born in the mind of Mr. I. L. Moore. He did not however, have the banking notion at first, but the real estate and trust business. When he discussed the matter with a few intimate friends it was decided that the bank would appeal to the people most and would serve them better. So the bank proposition with the trust and real estate features combined was decided upon. A canvas was made and it was soon evident that the field was ripe. It only required a little while to interest a sufficient number of people to insure success. The bank was organized and chartered. The organizers were not in a hurry to start to doing business, but set about to look out a suitable place to locate. This was no easy thing to do. Many things had to be considered, and meeting after meeting was held by the directors and the matter was discussed thoroughly. Finally the building now occupied was settled upon. A deal was made with Mr. Gary, who was then occupying the building. He was paid an amount satisfactory to release the building, which he readily consented to do in order that the bank might get opened up as early as possible. The People's Saving Bank and Trust Company enters the financial field with the other fifty odd banks in the country to help in putting the race on a firm business foundation in the world. The real estate and trust features offer to the Negroes opportunities they are much in need of in this community, and it is believed that it will stimulate them to greater endeavor in purchasing homes and embarking in business. The officers of the bank are all substantial citizens of Nashville. They cover the field of industry and profession thoroughly, and are able to give to each other varied experiences that are seldom associated in any single enterprise. The president, Dr. R. F. Boyd, is one of the leading physicians in the country, a large land owner and a successful business man; Col. A. N. Johnson, first vice-president, is a successful undertaker, and a man of considerable wealth; T. G. Ewing, cashier, one of the leading attorneys of the state and manager of a shirt manufacturing company; W. D. Hawkins, teller, a young man who has made an enviable record as a business man; S. P.

"SUFFERING FOR THE LACK OF MEN." Bishop Evans Tyree will discuss this subject at the Spruce Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, August 8th, at 3 o'clock. Only men will be admitted. Bishop Tyree will discuss this burning subject under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. The members of the association are making strenuous efforts to awaken the people of Nashville to the need of such an organization. The membership has largely increased during the rast few weeks, and it is believed that a large num ber will become members after listening to the lecture of Bishop Tyree DOCK LINER CASE. One night last week Mr. Dock Liner, the popular Cedar street barber, had a misunderstanding with a street car conductor that resulted in his being arrested. The case is one that has caused unusual comment. Mr. Liner in his statement to a Globe representative gave his side of the case as follows: "I boarded the car and took a seat directly under the sign designating the portion of the car to be occupied by colored passengers. The car was not crowded in the front part, though several white men were standing in the rear end. The parallel seat on the opposite side was occupied by three passengers which filled the seat comfortably. The conductor ordered me to move over on that seat. I refused because I was seated according to law. The conductor said he would throw me off unless I obeyed. I told him he could move me or put me off so long as he did so in a manly way. He said no he would throw me off. I told him I would entertain him when he did. The conductor then found an officer and ordered me arrested. I did not resist the officer, but he cursed and abused me freely. The statement that I refused to give a seat to ladies is untrue. There were no ladies standing in the rear of the car. The case is attracting a great deal of discussion and the return to the use of other means of travel than the street cars. FUNERAL OF EUGENE BERRY. The funeral of Eugene Berry was held last Tuesday afternoon at St. Paul A. M. E. Church and the following resolutions were read: Whereas, It has pleased our Omnipotent Father to call from earth to reward our brother and esteemed friend, Eugene Berry; and Whereas, We have fulfilled as best we could every duty that would tend to ward off this final rest; whereas, further, we realize the Supreme power of God who ruleth according to his judgment for the best, be it Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved family our sincerest sympathy in their present affliction and remind them of the blessed words of our Saviour, "Whosoever believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live again."

The tenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to be held in the city of Louisville, Ky., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, 1909. The sessions of the League will be held in the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church. The Wednesday night session, at which time President Washington delivers his annual address, will be held in Macauley's Theatre, a building spacious enough to accommodate all who may attend. The Louisville City Council has made an appropriation of three hundred dollars toward defraying certain expenses in connection with the entertainment of the League, thereby evidencing the interest of the city of Louisville in the coming meeting. The citizens of Louisville are well organized, and under various committees, are arranging the details of accommodation, entertainment, etc., for the delegates. Officers, life members and delegates intending to be present should notify Mr. W. H. Steward, 621 Eighth Street, of such intention, so that the proper accommodations may be provided. The far-reaching influence of the National Negro Business League assures an attendance at Louisville in no way inferior to former sessions of the organization. A rate of one and one-half fare on the certificate plan has been granted by the Southeastern Passenger Association, which includes all the territory South of the Ohio and Potomac, and East of the Mississippi Rivers, except stations on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. So far, other passenger associations, because of the present reduced rate for passenger service which obtains, have not granted rates lower than their regular offerings. Persons, however, intending to be present can secure, without trouble, special tourist tickets enabling them to reach Louisville and return at but little, if anything, in advance of the one and one-half fare above quoted. Among the arrangements made for the entertainment of the delegates may be mentioned an old-fashioned Kentucky Barbecue Thursday afternoon, August 19th; a banquet at Liederkanz Hall, Sixth and Walnut Streets, Friday evening, August 20. Arrangements are also being made for a trip to Mammoth Cave, Saturday morning, August 21. River View, formerly known as White City, will perhaps be secured for an afternoon or evening. The headquarters of the League will be the Y. M. C. A. Building, 920 West Chestnut Street, where delegates may have their mail addressed during their stay in Louisville. The Committee on Decoration is planning to have columns in front of the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church, where the day sessions of the League are to be held, and to place a similar feature in front of the Y. M. C. A. DOES YOUR CHURCH NEED SEATS?

FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1909. Y. M. C. A. Next Sunday afternoon the Young Men's Christian Association has planned for a sermon to be preached to men only. They have selected to deliver the sermon one of the strongest men in the race, in the person of that distinguished prelate, Bishop Evans Tyree. The people are well acquainted with the speaker, but we fear they are not as well informed as they should be of the importance attached to Y.M.C.A. work. The young men of the Negro race, especially in this city, have been almost entirely neglected as to influential inducements that tend to elevate. Nothing has been done to provide for them a meeting place where they can go to spend their leisure hours except places that offer to them the vilest evils. There is no place where they can go any afternoon or evening and listen to discussions on the topics of the day, or where they can invite a friend or a visitor to go and spend a few hours reading good books, and engaging in harmless pastimes. It is apparent, however, that a better day is at hand for the young Negro men of Nashville. The business side of the Y. M. C. A. work is an important feature. A few young irresponsible boys cannot make a success of this work is requires men who can maintain the confidence of the people, for the people must support the institution. The men who are heads of families, and in a position to see the needs of boys, and know the many pitfalls they are liable to fall into, are the ones who must take hold of the work to bring success. In other cities they have large buildings erected for the Y. M. C. A., and they have everything arranged to make it inviting to young men to spend their hours there. The Associations cannot be fostered without money, but every dollar spent for this purpose, if judiciously used, will yield ten-fold. It means sacrifice to maintain such organizations. We believe the people of Nashville are beginning to see the need of such an association. We believe they will eventually make up their minds to contribute a sufficient amount to erect a building and donate the same to the young men. The forty thousand Negroes of Nashville can easily raise $10,000 for such a purpose. We believe they are going to do it for the benefit of their boys and, though indirectly, for the benefit of their girls. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1909. RAILWAY EXTENSIONS. If the reports are true the Nashville Railway and Light Company will spend thousands of dollars during the next few months extending electric car lines into the rural sections. Every important thoroughfare, with few exceptions, is being considered by the company as a route to reach some vicinity that looks to be an inviting territory. And yet, there seems to be no desire on the part of the company to see the great number of people that would visit Greenwood daily if the car line should be extended the short distance of less than one mile out the Lebanon Pike. It is a case that is perplexing. Never before have men running a big corporation been known to close their ears to the cry of thousands of patrons who desire to spend their money with them. It is a peculiar situation, and one that the forty thousand Negroes of this city would like to understand. If they knew why the company was so indifferent about taking their money they could at least be in position to reconcile themselves to the fact. Greenwood Park was established for the Negroes of this city. The owner has spent thousands of dollars to improve it and make it inviting; and the people have shown their appreciation of these kindnesses. They delight to go out to this noted resort and spend a few quiet hours, but thousands fail to go because of the poor street car accommodations. It looks like the company's officials do not want the Negroes' money. One thing is certain, unless the line is extended, and that in the near future, it is highly probable that the Negroes of Nashville will devise some method of getting to and from the park entirely independent of the street cars. They are not going to sit idle and allow any corporation to say to them, in word nor in act, "You shall not have any comforts," but will proceed to make them for themselves. EDWARD AND NICHOLAS. King Edward, of England, and Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, are saying nice things to each other and about each other in an effort, it seems, to strengthen the friendly tie between the two countries. King Edward essays to show that he has the most powerful navy in the world, and Emperor Nicholas is at the same time endeavoring to show that his land forces are superior to those of any other country. They declare one to the other that their efforts are in the interest of peace, but to those on the outside it looks like a desire on the part of those two sovereigns to fortify themselves against a probable rebellion of the small countries that are showing a restlessness at the aggressiveness of these two countries. Only recently an educated and highly cultured native of India declared that it was impossible for him to commit a crime against England, in view of the manner in which his people were being oppressed. From the general trend of affairs it is apparent that he voiced the sentiment of several of the small countries that are feeling the yeke of oppression as applied by England and Russia, and it is generally believed that the heads of these two great powers are aware of the restlessness among these oppressed people, and realize what it would mean to them to have a mutual understanding as to what attitude they would sustain toward each other should a crisis come. The people of Nashville will lose a strong man in the public school system in the resignation of Prof. H. C. Weber. He has run our schools on a strictly business basis, and while his success is not envied it does seem that the city of Nashville is able to offer an inducement for a superintendent that would be more inviting than the position he is to accept. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce is being severely censured for the stand he has taken in regard to manual training in the public schools of Washington City. He is not the first man to be criticised for saying what he believed to be right. Pellagra, the new epidemic, has taken hold in this country in earnest. In the past few weeks several cases have appeared in Tennessee. We do not believe that our corn causes such a dread disease, but that the trouble when properly understood, will be found to be caused by some of the chemicals used in our food. The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Dickinson, has ordered that no orders for naval supplies be placed with the Trusts. We take it that the secretary means to have the navy department supply its own needs. TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. To the Nashville Globe: The Nashville Tennessean is a newspaper published in this city and Mr. Ben Carr is a reputable citizen, who, unwittingly, has been the cause of a mighty tempest in the "little teapot" of that pure, unadulterated and holy (?) sheet. Mr. Carr is a prosperous farmer, a man who has toiled all of his life to make a competence for himself and family and to make his dealings and relation with men of such a nature as to make himself deserving of their respect and confidence. To be worthy of the confidence of one's fellowmen is one of the greatest incentives underlying human endeavors; it is a prize all men devoutly wish for and one that a majority of civilized men of every race strives, with might and main to attain. The Negro people are no exception to such noble desire and the efforts necessary for its attainment. Mr. Carr is but one of thousands of his race in this state, and every other state of this country for that matter, who are applying themselves industriously and assiduously to the development of their opportunities. They are doing what lies within their power to make capable, creditable and worthy members of the communities in which they live. Is this a crime? Is it a justifiable cause for the savage and fanatical attack of yellow journalism? Disconnected sentences, loaded with bitter vituperation, ridicule and invective and jumbled together promiscuously as were those which characterized the editorials in the Tennessean directed incidently against Mr. Carr, but really against the Negro people as a whole, whom he, as presiding officer of the Farmers' Institute, represented in a particular industrial activity, will not shake them. The position of The Tennesseean in its abuse and ridicule of the effort being made to organize Negro farmers for intelligent tilling of the soil was so ridiculous that the Banner and American, neither of which loses any sleep preparing articles in defense of the Negro people, could not sit supinely by and listen to the claptrap of their contemporary without branding it a superlative piece of downright ridiculousness. With moral courage they rose to the emergency of the situation and laid on like two invincible McDuffs. No amount of abuse nor unworthy attempts at belittling the worthy attempts of the Negro people to make a credible place in American citizenship is going to phase or deter them from doing so. They are wedded to that determination and hades and all of its confederates are not going to check them in the onward march. It is said they are imitators, and if that is true, then the logic of the ultimate outcome is that they shall and will succeed. Let the tempest in the "little teapot" rumble and roar, and swell to such cyclonic proportion until its little circular wall will bulge to "bussing," the Negro people are going to keep on the even tenor of their way with hope in their hearts and a song in their mouth, determined to win in the end.

Miss Sophronia Mayberry and Master Allen Vaughn are on the sick list. Mr. Alonzo Lumpkins, who has for several months been in West Tennessee looking after his property there, was called to the sick bed of his wife. Mrs. Lumpkins, who has been in failing health for nearly a year. Her condition at present is very critical. On last Saturday night at her school on Roberson Hill, Mrs. T. J. Clinisson gave an old-fashioned concert. The exercises were witnessed by a crowded house. Many from Centerville were present. The school was beautifully decorated with U. S. flags and buntings. The yard was lighted by Japanese lanterns which made a striking contrast with the grove on the outside of the yard which, though green, seemed dark at night.

One of the best Brass and Reed Bands in the JEFF'S FORFEIT COVERED. Johnson Puts Up His $5,000 For A Fight. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Lytle, backer of Jack Johnson, today posted a $5,000 forfeit with a local sporting writer to cover the sum already put up by James Jeffries as a preliminary to a championship ring battle between Jeffries an the colored man. New York, Aug. 2.—Sam Berger, manager for James J. Jeffries, expressed considerable delight, and said: "Well, I guess there'll be a fight," when informed this evening that Jack Johnson had posted $5,000 in Chicago today to bind a match with Jeffries for the heavyweight championship. As to a report that Johnson wants Jeffries to agree to the time and place for the match before the latter goes abroad, Berger said: "How can Jeffries name any time or place for the fight—particularly a place—before a bid has been received from a promoter? We would like to know when and where as well as Johnson, but we are not mind readers. "If Johnson means business," he continued, "he should come here to New York as soon as the blids for the fight are in, and he and myself will look over them, and anything that looks reasonably good to us both we will accept. "Jeffries is dealing with Johnson and the public in good faith. He only wants what is fair and reasonable. And other champion—and Jeffries is the real champion—would have demanded 90 per cent. of the gate receipts or purse, but he is good enough to say that Johnson shall have a loser's end. No, I won't say how much it will be, it will repay him for training expenses, even—well even if it does not for the beating he will get." The fact that Johnson has covered Jeffries' money is no guarantee that he will be able to corner the willy "farmer." Jeffries is working the American public to a finish. He knows that if he ever meets Johnson he will never be able to draw another crowd after the fight unless it be to his funeral, but those who know him best do not believe he ever intends to meet Champion Johnson. give fun and pleas- be benefited by this William Key will be s horse, "Jim Key," c Reed Bands in the TES-- All Railroads OMISSION Pres., S.

The Woman's Organization of the Tennessee State Colored Fair Association has been holding its regular meetings in Napier Court for several weeks. These meetings are full, each time, of interesting and zealous ladies who seem to be ready for effective work. Last year was a beginning and it is always the hardest task accompanying success, but this year we have a Fair with all its incident pleasures, interests and accomplishments. Already we have most healthful signs and with the matured plans and continued unison of purpose and work, there will be a fair to which the world would be glad to come. We want every one to join us in some way, convenient and pleasant to himself. The Fair will be held five days, each day in charge of some zealous and efficient woman, to bring out all the different pleasures and interests. Mrs. J. C.
