HIGH DAYS
AT BEAUTIFUL GREENWOOD PARK.
Monday, Emancipation Day; Tuesday, Annual Picnic.
BISHOP EVANS TYREE DELIVERS FORCEFUL AND ELOQUENT ADDRESS ON MONDAY — BIG CROWD HEAR HIM—EMPLOYEES OF NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD HELD SWAY ON TUESDAY — GAMES AND SPORT ENLIVEN THE DAY —RACES AND BALL GAME SPECIAL FEATURES—DAY ONE ROUND OF FUN AND MERRY-MAKING.
On September 22, 1862, President Lincoln had issued a preliminary proclamation, which was followed on the first day of 1863 with a formal one declaring free all slaves within the borders of the Confederate States. On the last day of the year 1862 and the first day of 1863, a great battle was fought at Murfreesboro, Tenn.. but differences of opinion have arisen as to what date to celebrate as emancipation day. So the management of Greenwood set Monday, August 9, and arranged to have a celebration on that day. day, it being the Forty-seventh Anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, which gave freedom to more than 4,000,000 slaves. Fitting exercises were held in Greenwood Park all day Monday.
The orator of the day was that magnetic speaker, an idol of all Southern Negro hearts, Bishop Evans Tyree. His subject was, "Emancipation and What It Means to the Negro." It is a well known fact that the Bishop always carries his audience in a storm before him whenever he speaks, and claims the attention of every one, but on this occasion he surprised even himself; and it can be truthfully said that his oration was the finest that has ever been delivered in Greenwood Park.
The eloquence and ease with which Bishop Tyree entertained his audience was remarkable and to such flights of oratory and purity of rhetoric did he carry his hearers that the breezes seemed to linger to listen, and notwithstanding it was one of the hottest days ever felt in Nashville he enjoyed an appreciative audience and claimed their attention throughout the thirty minutes he spoke.
There were over 2,000 persons present to hear the able divine as he stood and explained the meaning of that day's celebration and unfolded the beauties of a free life, a right to breath free air, to think, and to be men and women in the arena of life and to have the right and privilege to serve God, to have a home, a family and to love and respect the sacred vow of the altar. He appeared to leave the common view and walks of life and to be transported beyond the blue of the skies.
Aside from the oration delivered by Bishop Tyree there were many amusements at the Park for enjoyment. A game of ball was played between the Greenwood Park Giants and the East Nashville Giants. The game went to the Greenwood Park Giants the score being 6 to 3.
The Merry-go-round, the most popular attraction of the Park, and the Old Plantation claimed their share of admirers along with the Shooting Gallery and other attractions.
The wolves which were to have arrived from Louisville for the Zoo which Rev. Taylor is opening were delayed, not arriving here until Wednesday noon. They are the gift of Rev. Taylors' friend, Mr. James Hathaway, of Louisville, Ky. They will be one of the attractions at the Tennessee Colored Fair which convenes in September. We have a Park of our own now and will not have to inquire if they will be permitted to go to certain places, or to

Publishing House Picnic.
Publishing House Picnic.
The one especial event is looked forward to with the greatest degree of anticipation and pleasure by the National Baptist Publishing House force is their annual picnic. This was celebrated in the most enjoyable manner Tuesday, August 11, at classical Greenwood, the beautiful and unrivaled pleasure resort, situated some miles out on Lebanon pike, which has become the Mecca of all those who, like Major Ozone, of funny picture fame, are disciples or lovers of fresh air which gambols in wild abandon and copious abundance through dell and over the hills of that splendid park.
At 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning a large number of those engaged in operating the great publishing plant assembled there and went a short distance to the corner of Third and Jo Johnston avenue, where special car service had been arranged for their transportation to the park, and at 9:00 o'clock as jolly and merry a crowd of picnickers as ever went forth was speeding away to enjoy the pleasures of the day. Those who went out on the cars in the morning were augmented by those who came out in other vehicles in the afternoon.
Those who went out in the morning enjoyed themselves according to their own sweet will. While some were lying or seated in the grass or on benches under the luxuriant foliage of the great trees on the hillsides which furnished ample shade and made all the more inviting because of the strong cool breezes blowing there as if for the purpose of making the day an ideal one, others were strolling about and others were engaged in other pleasant diversions or pastimes. Soon after 12 o'clock as if by the touch of a magical wand everyone seemed to have been reminded of the fact that it was dinner time, and the cry went up at once seemingly from everywhere. It was not long before the spreads had been made and the "good things" which had been hidden away in well-loaded baskets were transferred thereto; and doubtless everybody in a good digression to wait upon a better appetite; for soon everyone was busily employed in replenishing the "inner man" and understood the cause quite as well as the description given by physiologists as to why certain juices sometimes flow as freely into the mouth.
Sometime after dinner, about the middle of the afternoon when everybody was in a mood for field sport, a splendid program of amusements which had been arranged for the occasion was pulled off, and consisted of the following prize contests:
Event No. 1—Sack Race. Prize, Water Melon. Contestants: Messrs. Tom Pennington, Frank Johnson and Ferris Boyd. Winner, Pennington.
Event No. 2—Egg Race. Prize, Beautiful Box of Fine Stationery. Contestants: Misses Eleanor Alfreda Battle, Ruth P. McKinney, Alma L. Stevens, Mattie B. Scales. Winner, Miss Battle.
Event No. 3—Longest Throw (baseball). Prize, Dictionary. Contestants: Messrs. Scovel Rishardson, J. Blaine Boyd, Archie Pointer, Chas. W. Kelly, Daniel Barry and Elma Winston. Winner, Rev. Mr. Richardson.
Event No. 4—Potato Race. Prize, Pair of Socks. Contestants were legion. Winner, Rev. Mr. Chas. W. Kelly.
Event No. 5—Running Race. Prize, Cake Plate. Contestants, all young ladies. Winner, Miss Eleanor A. Battle.
Event No. 6—Running Race, Prize, Bottle of Perfume. Contestants, a host of lads. Winner, Master W. S. Ellington, Jr.
Event No. 7—A Hundred Yard Dash Prize, Pocket Knife. Contestants: Mr. Louis K. Thomas, Mr. R. C. Patton, Prof. S. P. Harris and Mr. J. D. Crenshaw, Winner, Mr. Crenshaw.
Chairman John H. Kelly, of the Entertainment Committee, conducted the amusements and awarded the prizes in his genial and courtly way, and everybody seemed to have enjoyed the general fun with an enthusiasm that was contagious.
The baseball game between the old back numbers that used to compose the National Baptist Publishing House team and the young hopefuls who now represent that aggregation went in (Continued on Page 5.)
PROF. WEBER
REFUSES TO REMAIN AT HEAD OF SCHOOLS.
Board of Education Makes Strong Plea.
OFFERS TO INCREASE SALARY—DECLARE HIM TO BE WORTH FOUR TEACHERS—PROF. WEBER SAYS WELFARE OF HIS FAMILY DEMANDS THAT HE MAKE THE CHANGE—MONEY NO INDUCEMENT TO REMAIN IN THE SERVICE — MAKING PREPARATION FOR OPENING OF CITY SCHOOLS — NEW TEACHERS ELECTED FOR THE YEAR—SUBSTITUTES APPOINTED.
At the meeting of the Board of Education on Monday night every possible consideration was put to Mr. Weber to show him why he should remain at the head of the public school system. Compensation equivalent to that which he will receive in charge of the depository for the textbooks was offered him. He declined this, stating that he could not under any circumstances accept more pay unless the teachers under him could be raised in proportion and in addition stated that he was under contract with the board for $3,000 per year and that he could not conscientiously accept another penny should he remain.
His own personal interest, the welfare of the new high school, but above all, the welfare of the city of Nashville were urged upon him as reasons why he should lay aside every other consideration and remain as superintendent. It was one of the greatest compliments ever paid a Nashville man and every one of the nine members of the board joined in it.
Mr. Weber Asks His Release.
The board was called to order by President Lees with every member in attendance. After the usual formalities Superintendent Weber's final report was read in part as follows: "The estimate for school expenses for 1910, which was submitted according to charter requirements, to the Mayor and City Council in the month of June, carrres an amount for salaries of teachers based upon a scale which contemplates an increase of $50 a year to the rank and file of the teachers. The scale upon which this estimate is based also provides for an equitable adjustment of salaries of principals, and hall principals, fixing the scale in proportion to the work done, rather than to the specific position. The city budget for 1909 carried $290,635 for schools, of which amount $127,378.37 remains. This amount, unless some unforeseen expenditure become necessary, will be sufficient for you to put in operation in September the schedule of salaries that the budget of 1910 contemplates beginning in January. I suggest that this matter be referred to the Finance Committee, that this much needed small increase may be given as soon as possible.
"The funds in the fall justifying, a substitute should be kept employed in each of the large schools as supernumerary, to the end that children who are deficient in one or more subjects could get that individual help which would enable them to become regular in their grade work.
"The state has just made contracts with the various publishers to supply the books for use in the public schools for a period of five years. I have been selected by these publishers to have charge of the depository for Middle Tennessee. The contract under which I am serving you expires in June. My duty to my family impels me to request you to relieve me of my contract with you that I may accept this appointment.
"I wish to thank you, gentlemen, individually and as a Board, for your uniform kindness to me and your support of my policies. I wish to take this opportunity to than the teachers of the corps for for their loyal and
hearty co-operation, without which no system of schools can progress. Very respectfully, W. C. WEBER, "Superintendent of Schools." Two sets of manual training equipment were reported as having arrived, one to be placed in Glenn School and the other as yet unassigned.
Holiday September 24.
A communication from the State Fair Association, asking that Friday, September 24, be set aside as a holiday for Children's Day at the State Fair was received.
The resignations of Misses Willa H. McBroom, L. P. Webster and Hattie M. Moores were accepted.
The request of the State Fair for a holiday was taken up and after discussion the request as granted for September 24.
Colored teachers were elected as follows: Misses Callie Beazley, Blanche Atwood, Esther Berry, Mary Frazier, Amelia Chinn, Laura White, Ruth Crockett.
Superintendent Weber's request for release as taken up. Mr. Hill moved its acceptance. Maj. Stahlman asked if anything could be done to retain Mr. Weber by additional compensation.
Prof. Weber replied to the effect that he would have no right to and could not accept more pay. Said he: "I would rather serve you than anybody in the world. This work is the most pleasant that I could do. Were I looking out for myself alone, there would be no question of my remaining, but I have a family to care for, and I must do the best in my power for them. I could not afford to remain with you for $3,000 a year, and I could not accept more. I would have no right to do it for two reasons: First, I am under contract to you; I would not let you forfeit your end of the contract, and I will not break mine; I contracted to serve you five years for $3,000 per year, and if I remain that is all I will accept. Second: Nashville ought not to pay the Superintendent of her schools more than $3,000, so long as she does not pay her teachers more. If I should accept more under the present circumstances, I would forfeit the confidence of my corps and would lose my usefulness to you."
Dr. Lofton, Maj. Jonas, Maj. Stahlman, Mr. Leiberman, Mr. Hill—all urged upon him the enlarged duties of the office since he took it and insisted that the Superintendent should be paid more. They insisted that the welfare of the city of Nashville required him to submerge his own judgment and accept the offer of the Board. They then urged him to hold both positions, but he declared that they would be incompatible; that he could not conscientiously represent the book companies and the Board of Education at the same time, though he declared that he would have time for both duties.
WENT AWAY WITH PURDY.
Body of Negro Boy, Who Died May 3
Arrives Here From New Jersey,
The remains of Jesse Mays, colored, aged 11 years, son of Ruth Mays, 424 Tenth avenue, North, reached Nashville early yesterday morning, having been shipped from Trenton, N. J. The circumstances of the death of the boy are mysterious in that he died May 3 and no notification was made to the boy's mother until the remains arrived at the Union Depot.
The lad left Nashville months ago in the charge of J. Purdy, organizer of a youthful band of singers. He went North into Maryland and New Jersey. At Trenton the boy was stricken with tubercular meningitis. He had been sick three weeks when he died. His mother knew nothing of it until a Negro by the name of Gray knocked at her door about 4 o'clock yesterday morning and told her about it.
It is not known why the remains were delayed in Trenton. Nothing has been heard from Purdy as to the boy's death. The only information known was given by Gray, who accompanied the remains to Nashville. Where the body has been since the child died is not known.
Johnson, the undertaker, took charge of the body and prepared it for burial. It was in a good state of preservation.
CORRECTION.
The Globe stated in its issue of July 30, that Miss Maggie E. Howard, of this city, was with the Shephard Drug Store at Meridian, Miss. She is with the Sherrod Drug Co., where she is a registered Pharmacist. Miss Howard has a host of friends in Nashville and is able to keep up with the news because she reads the Globe.

Memphis and Humboldt Place of Meeting.
TWO GRAND ORDERS DOING GREAT WORK AT THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL SESSIONS — GRAND MASTER ORR CALLS ODD FELLOWS TO ORDER ON TIME—GRAND PRESIDENT SWANSON RAPS FOR BENEVOLENTS TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS ON SCHEDULE TIME — NASHVILLE WELL REPRESENTED AT BOTH MEETINGS — REPORTS OF GRAND OFFICERS.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock two grand lodges opened their annual sessions in West Tennessee, one at Memphis and the other at Humboldt. District Grand Master Orr, of Memphis, called the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows together in his home city on schedule time and announced that the body was ready to transact the business of the hour. After the usual preliminaries the delegates got down to business. There were a large number of delegates present, and the business of each session was very lively.
Nashville is well represented at the session. Among the delegates are Prof. W. S. Thompson, Secretary of the Endowment, Mrs. Susie Carter, of the ladies' department, and a delegate from each lodge in the city. Mrs. Lottie Chenault, of Gallatin, joined the party here as did Prof. T. P. Turner, of Pulaski, who is also a grand officer, came up to Nashville and went with the party from this point. The District Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, in connection with the Household of Ruth are doing a great work for humanity throughout the State. The reports of the District Grand Officers all show that the Order has been making rapid progress during the year.
Benevolent Order Meeting
With their usual simplicity the Delegated Assembly of the Benevolent Order of the State of Tennessee opened their session in Humboldt Tuesday morning, August 10. President Swanson opened the session with devotional services conducted by the Chaplain, after which the business was taken up. The reports of the Grand Officers all showed a good increase, despite the drouth and storms that have done great damage to many of the lodge halls this year. The delegates cheered each officer to the highest. The party from Nashville went down in a special. Among them were Mrs. Rosa L. Brown, Secretary, Mr. Brown, Treasurer, Mr. H. H. Gibson, Mr. L. S. Williams, Mr. L. C. Copeland and many others. The business of the delegates is being conducted in an orderly way, and the people of Humboldt are delighted to have them.

MEETING OF SUPREME GRAND
LODGE I. O. I. AT CHAT-
TANOOGA.
The Supreme Grand Lodge, which met in session in the James Building, East Ninth street, was one of the greatest and most harmonious meetings held in a number of years. The Supreme Convention was presided over by worthy Supreme Grand Master C. E. Miller and D. L. G. M., R. F. Boyd. The business was transacted with accuracy and the spirit of good-will hovered over the entire Delegation. The Delegation was not as large as it has been in years past, and those who came were not merely office-seekers, but brothers and sisters who came to devise some means to better the condition of the Order both morally and financially, and each departed for their several homes feeling that much good will spring from their efforts. The election passed off pleasantly and is of much satisfaction to all. The elected officers are:
Dr. R. F. Boyd, S. G. M.
J. H. Hunter, S. G. R. S. Prof. W. S. Thompson, S. G. T.
Prol. W. S. Thompson, S. G. F.
The Tennessee delegation, supplemented by the delegates from Kansas City, Mo., and Columbus, Ky., left Chattanooga, Friday afternoon, Aug. 6, for Nashville. Through the efforts of our Worthy brother, S. J. Toney, of Mt. Vernon Lodge No. 11, the N., C. & St. L. R. R. provided a special coach and the delegates aboard enjoyed the trip so much. The conductor placed the car in Bro. Toney's care.
The following were in the party:
Mr. S. J. Toney, E. W. Knight, J. M.
H. Smith (Kansas City, Mo.), Wm.
Franklin, Hartsville; Robt. Weir, Lebanon;
Summerfield Brown, Wm.
Beckitt, Allen D. Black, Mrs. A. B.
Carter, I. E. Dowell, Della Murray,
Mollie B. Thomas, Rachel Foxhall,
Hartsville; Mary Smith, Shelbyville;
Agnes Short, Franklin; Jennie Bugg,
Columbus, Ky.
We desire to thank the officials of the N. C. & St. L. R. R. through Bro. Toney for the kindness shown, also to thank the people of Chattanooga for their broadheartedness and hospitality toward us in their midst, and we sincerely hope erelong we may be able to do likewise toward them.
Thus passes into history the Grand Convention of 1909 which adjourned to meet the first Tuesday in July, 1911, in New Decatur, Ala.
LADIES AID SOCIETY.
The Ladies Aid Society of Howard Congregational Church held its monthly meeting with Mrs. N. J. Anderson, of Fourteenth avenue, North, July 29. There was a large attendance. The President, Mrs. P. R.

Imes as he leaves soon on his vacation. At the close of business all were invited into the dining-room, where we were served from a table beautifully decorated and filled with the luxuries of the season. Mrs. Anderson's daughters, who are now at home, carried out the social functions in a most unique style. The society will meet next month with Mrs. Hughes, of Fourteenth avenue.

EXTERMINATION OF THE HOUSE FLY.
Sub-Committee Makes Report, Which Is Adopted and Advertising Begins.
The sub-committee of the Public Improvements Committee of the Board of Trade reported yesterday afternoon to the General Committee and recommended that a campaign of advertising be begun at once to arouse public sentiment against the fly and show the dangers of the pest. The report was adopted and an offer of Mr. F. O. Watts to advance the first $50 of expense money was accepted.
The women's clubs of the city have not yet been solicited for help in the matter, but it will be taken up with them at once. The report of the committee follows:
After a careful investigation of the germs, both of which are eaten by the pennisities of the common house fly (especially the tubercular and typhoid fever germs, both of which are eaten by the fly and can pass through its organism to be deposited in an active state on foodstuffs), and after a thorough discussion of what is actually necessary to abolish the "fly nuisance," your committee is convinced that a campaign of education is the first step.
Any man, woman or child who makes even a casual investigation of the habits of the fly and the filthy places it frequents in quest of food, will be an ardent supporter of a thorough going fly campaign: First, to abolish the breeding places of the fly, and second, to place every safeguard against the disease-laden fly.
With this end in view, the seriousness of this enemy to human health should be placed before the people at large so that the subject will become one of both home and public discussion. Your committee, therefore, has the following recommendations to make:
First—That you have printed in colors and give wide distribution to the illustrated dodger as published in the report of the Merchants' Association of New York and used by the State Board of Health of Florida in the fly-fighting campaign of that state. This distribution should be made under the supervision of the State Board of Health, whose co-operation we can surely secure (dodger 10-1-2x16 inches, cost of plate about $6.75. Dodgers cost about $7.50 per thousand in 5,000 lots).
Second—That posters for the street cars of Nashville and railroad cars leading to Nashville be printed and worded thus: "No woman will permit flies in her home any more than she will permit other vermin;" (200 posters necessary for Nashville street cars would cost about $20.00).
Third—That co-operation of the state's daily and weekly papers be solicited; and, where secured, that news items be continuously furnished by those actively engaged in the work; and, if possible, induce our press friends to give the fly-fighting campaign that frequent and favorable editorial comment without which the movement can be of little avail—or at least, so slow of results as to make Nashville be a laggard in the prosecution of this modern and beneficial movement which is attracting the attention of all progressive cities.
Fourth—That we ask for and give active co-operation to the various woman's clubs of the city and state, as it is our belief that this fly-fighting movement must have substantial support in the home before it can become effective.
Fifth—That we recommend to everybody that no purchase be made of merchants who keep unscreened and unsanitary stores, or elsewhere where foodstuffs are kept exposed to flies.
Sixth—That this committee heartily endorses the work of the Nashville Board of Health and pledges its support to the efforts of the strengthening of its position and scope.
Seventh—That the Nashville Board of Trade appoint a committee of at least one dozen representative citizens to wait upon the Mayor and City Council for the purpose:
First—Of having a city ordinance passed to conform with the state law requiring the screening of all places where foodstugs are dispensed, also another ordinance compelling screening and weekly removal of manure piles, which are the chief breeding places of the fly.
Second—To learn from the city fathers what will be necessary to secure for the citizens of Nashville a more thorough and prompt collection of waste and garbage together with a more thorough enforcement of all sanitary laws.
Third—To ask for a strengthening of the Board of Health of Nashville, by the addition of more men, so that its work can be carried on in a more efficient manner.
In conclusion, your committee has to suggest that whatever impetus Nashville gives to the fly-fighting

NEGROES GETTING VERY RESTLESS.
Many Moving From County—Night Riders Thought to be Again Active
Tiptonville, Tenn., Aug. 9.—From what is considered good authority the information comes that there is much fear that the Night Riders have been again active in this vicinity. The Negro farmers ars showing uneasiness and while none of them will talk, it is evident they have been receiving intimidating messages. A great many are selling out and preparing to move. Quite a number have already moved. Mr. G. C. Thomas, editor of the Lake County News, has been the recipient of very threatening letters in the last two weeks, threatening death unless certain statements were published in his paper, and claiming that the Night Riders had now become one thousand strong since their victory in the Supreme Court. It is threatened that the "Riders" will again resume active operations before the last of August
Quite a number of the old members of the Lake County posse that were with the soldiers at Camp Nemo just after the murder of Capt. Rankin were in town yesterday, and while no undue excitement prevails yet, all express a belief that the situation will be easily and speedily handled, and in a cool, deliberate manner. The recent developments have been referred to the Federal authoritis, and in the meantime private citizens are doing a little detective work. There are quite a number of suspects and they are being closely watched.

Those two Dinnie boys were said to have been active in a mob some time ago to lynch a Negro by the name of Geo. Esters. Alex., it is claimed, took a singletree and spattered his brains out. Since that time, he is also said to have tried to take Bill Barlow from the officer at Ripley. They gave him a fair trial and sent him away on the train with guards.
Y.M.C.A.
The men's monster meeting at Spruce Street Baptist Church was well attended. About 250 men assembled together and listened to the excellent address "Suffering for the Lack of Men," delivered by Bishop Evans Tyree. Never in the history of the Y. M. C. A. has a speaker unfolded the truths of true manhood and the necessity of building Christian homes and then protecting them.

EMANCIPATION DAY AT KNOX-
VILLE.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 9.—Two big emancipation celebrations were held in this city yesterday, one at Bewers Park and the other at the Chestnut Park. One was not a split from the other, but to the contrary, it seemed that the citizens had fully decided to throw open both parks for the enjoyment of the thousands who took advantage of the ideal day and ent to the places of outing. Quite a number of visitors from nearby towns came in on special excursions, which made the day all the more pleasant at both parks. There was perfect order no better celebration has been held in this country. There was no elaborate program at either place only the usual speaking with music by the brass bands. In the evening quite a crowd attended the Baptist church of which Rev. S. T. Eldrige is pastor to hear an address by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, or Nashville, Tenn. The close of the celebration without any disturbances is looked upon here as another indication of the Negroes' ability to do things right.
IN OLD VIRGINIA
Roanoke, Va., Aug 7.—The city of Roanoke, one of the youngest in the states presents today an example to the entire South, by the way the superintendent of the Roanoke Street Railway and Power Company showed his gentlemanly consideration to the Baptist association delegates who have been in the tri-cities, Salem-Roanoke-Vinton, all the week attending the Valley Baptist Association which has just closed its forty-second annual session. Almost the entire western portion of the state is attracted by these annual meetings and according to statements which are reliable, it is stated that a special street car containing a party of association visitors sent from Roanoke to Salem at 12:30 this morning in order that they would not have to stay in this city all night. The news was told by Miss NePortia Allen, of Salem who said, "We were standing at the car station having missed the last Salem car for the night, which leaves at 11:43 on account of the current being off on the Vinton line, we had just made up our minds that we could not walk seven miles to Salem and that we would have to make the best of it, when by accident the superintendent overheard our remarks and ordered out a special to take our party of four home." This is the first case of the kind in the state and proves the contention that Roanoke is one of the cities in the South where there is no race antagonism and where the people of all races dwell in the same city with peace and harmony.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1909.
A BRILLIANT EFFORT.
A large and appreciative audience greeted Mr. Scovel Richardson Sunday night, August 8, in the First Baptist Church, where he preached his first sermon. It seems that the Holy Spirit was with the young man from the beginning to the end. His sermon was a masterly effort. Well prepared and well delivered. There were many tear-stained eyes and loud amens.
Mr. Richardson took for his text Gal. 2:20. His subject was "Something to Live For."
When we behold nature, the greatness and grandeur of God's work; the azure skies, the verdant grasses and trees, the rippling brook, the river, the ocean wide and all around us blooming flowers, the radiant sun pouring its light upon the earth, filling it with brightness and cheer and in the evening painting upon the western skies a picture beautiful to behold, grander than the artist's hand can paint, more sublime than the imagination can dream—is it possible that we cannot realize the love of God in these things to live for? Can we not then make our lives worthy of these things?
Behold our Saviour crowned with thorns, struggling, stumbling with the heavy cross, surrounded by Roman

soldiers. See Him fall and faint. How they lash Him with whips. He gets up and starts again on to Calvary. At last they arrive on the spot where the saddest and most sorrowful scene ever witnessed happened. Those cruel, heartless soldiers thow our Lord upon the cross, tearing His clothes from His body, exposing His lacerated flesh and bleeding wounds. They drive huge nails through our Saviour's hands and feet, lift up the cross and thrust it into the ground. Look! a wretched soldier rides up to the cross and pierces Him in the side. Behold the King of Glory hanging on the cross crimsoned by his own blood. Bleeding, suffering, dying for our sins, that we might have eternal life. Let us live for the Crucified King, who bled and died; was resurrected and ascended into heaven for us.
Mr. Richardson closed with the following lines of original poetry:
Touch us to be loving O God, my
Teach us to be loving, O God, we pray;
To live for the good we can do each day.
PLEASANT DAY.
A crowd of young people went out to the beautiful home of Mr. Gentry Hyde, four miles on White's Creek pike, last Thursday. Those to enjoy the day were Misses Willie B. Harding, Sandella Hale, Maggie Price, of Shelbyville, Willie Dismukes, Pearl Dean, Delia and Burnice Smith, Georgia Laws, Messrs. Gentry Hyde, Wm. Laws, Nelson and Arthur Jackson, Willie Moore, William Smith, Edward Whittaker, Sam Perkins.
ROSE BUD CLUB
Miss Mosella Flagg, of 222 North Eighth street, entertained the Rose Bud Club most enjoyably Wednesday night, August 4, when a large number of members were present. The meeting was opened with song and prayer by the chaplain. After an hour of business, various members of the club rendered an excellent literary and musical programme, after which the members were invited into the dining-room, where a two-course menu was served. Each member was presented a beautiful souvenir postcard with quotations from some of the famous authors. Miss Lilly Alexander, of Chicago, was the guest of the club. The following members were present: Misses Annie D. Vaughn, Louise Brooks, Maymie Walton, Mosella Flagg, Lettie Bush Maymie Thornily, Margaret Mayberry, Lucile Overton, Eunice McBwen, Lena Bush, Fannie Irving. Miss Maymie Walton, of 607 Ramsey street, will entertain the club next Wednesday night.

USE OF A NAME.
There is nothing in the world that is more universally abused than the names of individuals, corporations, manufactures, organizations, etc. Differences have arisen over this little word that have caused great men to engage in personal conflicts and organizations and corporations to spend thousands of dollars in the courts from the lowest to the highest. A name! just four letters to spell the word, and yet it would be a signal to arms to any of the highest civilized countries in the world should another attempt to change or in any way injure the title by which that country is known. Every man in the United States would revolt at the thought of sacrificing the name of this fair land. This word has been thoroughly discussed by many of the ablest men in the world as to whether there is anything in it or not. A man works and toils to have a good name. Parents who are thoughtful are careful to do everything in their power to train their children in such a way that their deportment at home and abroad will reflect credit on the child and its parents. A man invents a device that he believes will be of great worth to his country, and he gives it a name. Before announcing his accomplishment he applies for a patent on his invention. He may be poor, but he is so confident that his invention is a great achievement he will spend every cent of money he has to get his article patented to protect its name and its mechanisms. The large manufacturing concerns employ men who devote all of their time and skill in finding names that will please the fancy of the public, and it is a truism that scores of articles that are not worth half what they are sold for maintain a high price on the name that was given them, which appeal to the people.
On last Sunday evening after the audience at the Spruce Street Baptist Church had listened to a strong appeal by Bishop Evans Tyree for manly men, the president of the local Y. M. C. A. announced that an organization in the city had secured the privilege to use the name of the Young Men's Christian Association to draw a crowd for a steam boat excursion. The president explained that the association had nothing to do with the affair, and would only receive a small per cent of the receipts for the use of

their name. The members of the association would do well to be careful in the future about allowing any one to use the name of the Y. M. C. A. for any purpose. If the organization is to be built up in Nashville it must take a high ground. It must stand alone if it hopes to be able to ever wield an influence in this community. We do not mean to be understood as implying that the organization using the name is not a worthy one, but that both of them would have been benefited by the one not using the name of the other. They are both working for the betterment of man, but along different lines, and should each use and magnify their own name, and take credit for what they accomplish.
EMANCIPATION DAY.
The Negroes of the United States are all aware of the fact that Abraham Lincoln did at some time issue an Emancipation Proclamation. They show this by the difference in the dates they select in the several states and communities to celebrate Emancipation Day. The proclamation was written in the month of September, 1862, to take effect the first day of January, 1863, but it seems the Negroes in the different sections of the country celebrate the day that the news reached them, which is a very good plan for the community or state, but the question that ought to be settled is, do such practices serve to the best interest of the Negroes all over the country?
We are of the opinion that the day should be celebrated in every section of the country on the same date in the year. We believe that the millions of Negroes in the United States ought to take one day in each year and celebrate this day. It ought to be understood that on Emancipation Day no Negro need be expected to work. The children should be trained to reverence that day, and to rejoice that Providence put it into the heart of Abraham Lincoln, then President of the United States, to set free every man, woman and child in this country. It ought to be an annually-recognized day. The business and professional men of the race should make known to the world what has been accomplished since freedom; and each year the record should show the accomplishments of the preceding twelve months.
Emancipation day is a great day in the history of the ex-slaves. Those mothers and fathers who can remember the tortures of ante-bellum days can appreciate the freedom they now enjoy. But the young men and women will in a few years forget about those conditions unless some plan is adopted to perpetuate the memory of the occasion and what it means. History writers often pervert the truth when dealing with affairs that do not effect the race to which they belong, so it stands the Negroes in need of giving attention to their own history. There ought to be established and maintained a bureau of statistics to keep an accurate record of the doings of the emancipated Negroes and their children, and the day should be universally celebrated on a set date that the world may know the facts about the people who were set free in this country without a semblance of sustenance.
The Tiptonville episode is one of the causes for the Negro farm laborers flocking to the cities. True they are just as secure in the country as they are in the cities, the method may be different, but the result is the same, but you cannot make the Negroes understand it that way.
Alabama has put another screw in her prohibition law, and now the Tigers will have to keep both eyes and ears open. The solons in dear old Alabama believe in doing things bang up when they start.
The registration booths are open every day. They close the 19th.
Vacation will soon be over and the little army will in a few weeks be gin their onslaught. Old Knowles Schoolhouse remains there to greet them as of yore.
Negro lodges in Georgia will have to stop using white folks' passwords. The law forbids it. They can get a thousand substitutes and live just as long as ever.

NATIONAL CONVENTION RATES.
Central Passenger Makes Rate of Fare and One-Half For The Round Trip to Columbus, Ohio.
Announcement has just been made by the Central Passenger Association through Mr. F. C. Donald, the Commissioner, whose office is in the Tribune Building, of Chicago, that the rate had been, or would be put on, for the National Baptist Convention, which is to meet in Columbus, Ohio, September 15th to 21st. This information was sent to Prof. R. B. Hudson, Secretary of the Convention, with headquarters at Selma, Ala., and may be of interest to a large number of people, who contemplate attending the Convention. Mr. Donald's statement follows: "Rate of fare and a half, on the certificate plan, under our rules from points in Central Passenger Association territory, will be announced in circular form at an early date, copy of which will be sent to you promptly, and we will request concurrence of other associations interested; a charge of 25 cents to be made by our representative at the meeting for each certificate vise'ed, and the amount deposited by you to be refunded, in case the fees for validating certificates cover such sum." Since the railroad fare in most of the Central Passenger Association's territory is two cents per mile, it is believed by Prof. Hudson and other members of the National Convention that this will make the fare about one fare for the round trip plus 50 cents on the three-cent basis and thus a large crowd is expected to attend on these excursion rates. No doubt., quite a number of people will be anxious to know what the rate is. They have been advised to ask their ticket agent about these rates.
FARMERS' ASSOCIATION.
To the Nashville Globe:
I hereby wish to give your readers a few ideas of the Farmers' Indian Creek Association and Sunday-School Convention, which convened at Mt. Pleasant August 5 to 8, 1909. Rev. W. M. Jones, Moderator; Rev. W. H. Taylor, First Vice Moderator; Rev. R. S. Sloss, Second Vice Moderator; Bro. C. W. Smith, Clerk; Prof. A. W. Sherrell, Corresponding Clerk; Rev. S. Vance, Treasurer; Prof. A. W. Sherrill, Finance Committee. The sessions were held at Mt. Pleasant in Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Rev. R. S. Schloss, pastor. We had a glorious session, spiritually and financially. The people opened their doors with harmony and love and charity. The work went on with harmony, too, with God to bless us, as this is the thirteenth annual session, that it carried the banner. It was the best that we have ever had, so I hope that the Lord will bless us to meet again with the Union Hill Baptist Church at Elkton, Tenn. on Monday before the second Sunday in August, 1910, and help to carry the flag on to God.
We hope that more schools will unite with us at the next session and help to carry the flag to my Lord and your God where we will see him as he is and praise him as we ought.
The public collection was $60.00 that was raised during the session. Total amount was $102.00.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Bill Affecting Whites Only Introduced in Alabama Legislature.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 9:—The Senate today took up the discussion of compulsory education, Senator Reynolds presenting a bill which he declares will reach the whites but not the Negroes. It provides for at least two months of schooling each year for all children from 8 to 14 years of age. A vote probably will be reached tomorrow.
By a close vote in the committee, the bill authorizing women to act as advisory members of School Boards in Alabama was reported favorably to the Senate and went on the calendar. It may come up on third reading tomorrow. The bill is fostered by the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs. It is opposed by some of the ablest members of the Legislature.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug 11.—The bill to prevent Negro social or fraternal organizations from using the names, insigna or ritual of established "societies or corporations, whether social, benevolent or charitable," was passed by the House today and now needs only the Governor's signature to make it a law. This vote was unanimous for the bill. Organizations whose rights are invaded under the bill have recourse to injunction and those found guilty of violation will be subject to a fine or imprisonment. The bill nowhere mentions the Negro or any other race, but Representative Ellis, in explaining it before passage said that the intent as to restrain "the colored brother" from imitating white organizations, particularly the Knights of Pythias and Elks.

PELLAGRA--ITS
GAUSE AND TREATMENT.
Pellagra is a new endemic-epidemic disease that has appeared in the United States, and is now engaging the earnest attention of the authorities of various States, and the public health service of the United States Government. The alarming spread of the disease in the last two years has made it a topic for general discussion in the public press.
It is a disease practically unknown in this country prior to 1903-4, but which has been so rapidly on the increase, particularly in the South Atlantic States, as to cause agencies to be set at work to ascertain, if possible, its etiology and proper method of treatment. Mortality from this disease runs very high, and it is so frightful in its character that the victim of it endures a living death. Because of the rapid spread of the loathsome disease, pellagra is fast attracting public attention.
SYMPTOMS OF PELLAGRA.
What is Pellagra? The disease is only known by its symptoms. The initial symptoms, as a rule, are a sore mouth and indigestion. The disease first manifests itself in the early spring. The gums and the tongue bleed, and discolorations, which at first have the appearance of sunburn, appear on the back of the hands and wrists, and on the knees, ankles and feet; then freckles appear, which later develop into inflammation of the skin, like a rash. The skin becomes hard and rough. Finally the skin vesiculates and great patches of pus and scales cover the parts. As the disease progresses the same symptoms appear on the face and forehead, on the sides of the neck, and even on the breast and chest. These manifestations are accompanied by extreme emaciation and by pronounced mental disturbances, that develop into insanity.
Usually the first thing a patient complains of is insomnia, pain in the back and back of the neck, and there is general muscular weakness, stumbling gait, and marked depression. There is also inflammation about all the body orifices. About 64 per cent of the cases under observation have thus far proved fatal. Pellagra was not recognized in the United States until within the last decade, and even as late at 1907 medical authorities held that it did not exist in the United States.
In Southern Europe, and especially in Italy, this disease is widespread, and the Italian Government has been at great pains to combat it. The disease has a hold in Roumania, is found in Spain and France, is extensive in Upper Egypt, and has been reported from Asia Minor, Austria, Servia Bulgaria and some other parts of Southern Europe, as well as occasionally from India, Africa, Barbadoes, South America, Phillipines, and in the alst few years in the Southern States of this country, and latterly in Middle Western and Northern States.
The existence of the disease has been known since 1735, in Spain; and, in 1750, it first appeared in Italy. It takes its name from the Italian words, "pelle," the skin, and "agra," rough. As early as 1784 pellagra had assumed so much importance in Italy that a hospital was established by royal authority for the study of its nature. Sporadic cases of what are now believed to have been pellagra were observed in the United States about forty-five year ago; no cases seem to have appeared thereafter, recognized as such, until 1907, when a number of cases were reported independently by the medical officers of Alabama and South Carolina.
SOUTH CAROLINA STORM CENTER.
At this time South Carolina is the "storm center" of this dread disease. There are probably more cases in this State to-day than have been observed and reported in all other States combined. There are estimated to be more than 1,000 cases in South Carolina. There have been, and are, more than 200 cases at the South Carolina State Hospital for the Insane and new cases are coming to it almost daily. The subject of pellagra is being discussed with great earnestness at the meetings of physicians at various points in the State and the State Board of Health of South Carolina is arranging for a pellagra conference to be held in Columbia the first week in November. At this meeting it is expected there will be physicians not only from South Carolina, but from adjoining States and from Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other cities in the North and West. This conference will meet at the State Hospital for the Insane, where hundreds of victims of the disease will be inspected.
The colored citizens of Boston are making extensive preparations to entertain the physicians, dentists and
pharmacists who will attend the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the National Medical Association in the city August 24.
The generous hospitality of Boston people is proverbial. The Citizens' Committee, composed of two hundred of the most prominent men, and the clubs of ladies named after the various practicing physicians and dentists of the city, are actively engaged in planning a hearty welcome for all who may honor them by their presence during the meeting of the Association. Never before in the history of the organization have the people of any city visited by the Association, demonstrated greater interest or shown more enthusiasm in the coming of able men and women to this community than the people of Boston and New England are exhibiting at this moment.
Some very unusual and epoch-making concessions have already been made by the city authorities to the end that the visiting doctors may have the widest scope for the exercise of their skill in the various branches of their profession. The oldest, largest and best equipped hospital in New England, the Massachusetts General, will be opened to them, and contact with the ablest white scientific specialists of New England will be afforded every visiting physician. The splendid scientific exhibits of the Boston City and Plymouth Hospitals, the clinical exhibits as well as the opportunity for clinical demonstrations will be features sufficiently attractive to the alert practitioner to warrant the trip to historic Boston, the Hub of the Universe.
As an indication of what Bostonians are doing in the way of providing for the entertainment of the visitors, it is well to call attention to the enthusiastic demonstration in the Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday afternoon, July 25th. In this historical landmark of cultured Boston, gathered the largest and most representative audience of colored people seen together for a number of years. It was truly "the season's greatest occasion." It was given under the head of "Musicale and Silver Rally for the benefit of the National Medical Association." The best talent in Boston and Worcester took part in the program. Madame Estella Pinckney Clough, New England's famous premiere Soprana, president of the Dr. MacKerrod Club, of Worcester, was the star attraction. She was supported by the following artists: The Cuban Trio, Messrs. Portuondo, Violinists; Sanchez, Pianists, and Caamano, Clarinetists; Mrs. Lillian Reynolds Ray, piano; Mr. Wm H. Hamilton, bass; Mr. George O'Brien, tenor; Mr. Thomas Sootton, Jr. Xylophone; Miss Birdie Bird, child reader; Miss Marjory Groves, piano; Mr. F. Gaston Hill, reader; Dr. W. A. Taylor, cornet; Miss Carrie Bland Sheller, soprano; Mrs. Carrie Brown; Kemp, contralto. Wooten's Mandolin Orchestra, Mr. Wm H. Wooten, mandolin, Accompanists, Miss Harrier Clough, Mr. F. P. White. Brief remarks by Rev. T. W. Henderson, D. D., Dr. C. N. Garland, Dr. J. B. Hall and E. E. Brown, Esp. All ladies clubs assisting the doctors were present. Presidents of such clubs were on the platform.
From time to time we will give to the public brief sketches of the men who are working strenuously for the success of the convention. Below is a brief sketch of Dr. John B. Hall, a member of the National Medical Association, President of the Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, (which will entertain the National Medical Association). Exalted Ruler of Pioneer Lodge of Elks, and one of the leading physicians of Boston, who is working day and nigat on the elaborate program which will be the chief attraction for all visitors at the forthcoming meeting.
Dr. Hall was born in the city of New Orleans, La., in 1876. After attending Straight University for a number of years, he went to the Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Mass., and graduated second in the class of 1894. He then went to Yale University, where he graduated in 1897, receiving the degree of Ph. D., in one of the largest classes that ever went out of the university.
After graduating from a four years' course in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, he was appointed as an interne at the Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C., 1901.
In the year of 1902 Dr. Hall came to Boston, Mass., and opened up an office, and as reward for upright, gentlemanly conduct and proficiency in his profession he has built up an excellent practice.
He is a member of the American Medical Association, Massachusetts Medical Society, Examining Physician of the Fidelity Aid Association of Cambridge, Mass., Honorary Member of the Young Men's Educational Association, and member of the Boston Literary and Historical Society; also member of Boston St. Mark's Union.

MONUMENT TO FALLEN HERO.
Salem, Va., Aug 6.—No more satisfactory news could have reached here from anywhere than that which came from Vinton today where the Valley Baptist Association is in session. The Association, according to the latest advices, has actually begun work on a monument to be erected in this city in honor of the late Rev. B. F. Fox, who for more than seventeen years was moderator of the association. This monument is to be an imposing piece of granite said to cost an enormous sum of money. It will be the first in Virginia to be erected to the memory of a Negro minister of the gospel. The late Doctor Fox had an enviable record as pastor in this city for about twenty-three years. He was known and loved far and wide and was one of the personal friends of "Father" Nelson Merry, of Tennessee; aside from this he was for a number of years the secretary of the Baptist State Convention. The placing of this monument in this city which is quiet and an ideal resident city of more than a hundred years of age will bring thousands of Negroes here form all over the South.

ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT.
Johnson Signs Up To Meet Jim Jeffries...Fight will Take Place Within Eight Months Before Club Offering the Largest Purse.
Chicago, Aug. 11.—Articles of agreement for a fight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries for the heavy weight championship of the world were signed here today. The fight is to take place within eight months before the club offering the best inducements. All bids for the fight are to be in inside of sixty days. Sam Berger, manager for Jeffries; George Little, Johnson's manager, and Jack Johnson were present at the meeting when the articles were signed
Little, however, had nothing to do with the arrangement of terms for the big fight, he having turned the whole affair over to Johnson.
The articles prepared by Jeffries were given Johnson by Berger. After carefully perusing the paper Johnson handed them back to Berger, remarking as he did so that they were not at all satisfactory to him. He declared that he was ready to sign agreements but he wanted to sign an agreement to "fight." He then outlined what he considered would be a satisfactory agreement.
A warm discussion followed and for a time it looked as though the meeting would be without any result. Berger objected to any mention of the purse in the articles, but he finally yielded this point. Johnson, on the other hand, was as equally insistent on the omission from the agreement of all reference to Jeffries as the heavyweight champion of the world, declaring that his position on this point was irrevocable. He finally won out and all reference to this subject was omitted.
The following is the agreement signed by Berger and Johnson:
"Form of agreement entered into this, 11th day of August, 1909, between Jack Johnson, of Galveston, Tex., and James J. Jeffries, of Los Angeles, Cal.
"It is agreed between these men mutually that they shall box acertain number of rounds, the same to be anywhere from twenty to 100, for the heavyweight championship of the world.
"Contest to be held before the club offering the best inducements and mutually agreed upon by the contestants.
