THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. Noted Speci-list Makes Hit in East. NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION HOLDS VERY SUCCESSFUL MEETING—TWO OF NASHVILLE'S LEADING PHYSICIANS ON PROGRAM—NATION'S HUB RECEIVES HER BUESTS WITH OPEN ARMS—FREE CLINICS HELD IN BEST HOSPITALS. Boston, Mass., Aug. 25. (Special)—The 11th annual session of the National Medical Association held in historic Boston beginning Tuesday morning, and ending Thursday evening, August 26, 1909, was the greatest in the history of the association. The official program contained some very attractive features. First of all, the citizens of Boston and New England had an opportunity to hear addresses from the leading physicians of the race from various sections of the country: the men of the highest training and the best equipment gave to the citizens the best fruits of their learning and experience. P. A. Johnson, M. D., of New York, president of the National Association, was especially prolific in his annual address on the opening of the first day's session. Much important business will be transacted during this session. On Tuesday afternoon papers were read. Dr. Joseph. J. France, of Portsmouth, Va., Dr. H. F. Gamble, of Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. John DR. C. V. ROMAN, Who Responded to Welcome in Boston. E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky., Dr. Eugene R. Wright, of Boston, Dr. Don J. Penheiro, of Boston, Dr. A.M. Townsend, of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., and Dr. J. W. Darden, of Opelika, Ala. The program that attracted more attention than any other was the one rendered in Faneuil hall (the Cradle of Liberty) on Tuesday evening. That was a public meeting and was attended by over 2,000 people. The following program was rendered: Isaac L. Roberts, M. D., presided; prayer, Rev. T. W. Henderson; welcome address in behalf of commonwealth of Massachusetts, Hon. Elmer A. Stevens, treasurer and receiver general of Massachusetts; welcome address in behalf of the city of Boston; "The Star Spangled Banner," Mrs. Nellie B. Mitchell; welcome address in behalf of the physicians of New England, Thos. W. Patrick, M. D.; piano solo, Concerto I, Mendelssohn, Miss Georgine Glover; welcome address in behalf of the citizens, Edward Everett Brown; The Medical Profession of Massachusetts, Silas D. Presby, M. D., president Massachusetts Medical Society; vocal selection, Recessional, R. De Koven, Mrs. Nellie Brown Mitchell; The Dentist, John F. Dowsley, D. D. S., chairman Mass. Dent. Board; The responses were given by Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. Robert James Abele, of Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Roman spoke as follows: NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1909 To sit in such a presence and hear such a welcome is indeed inspiring: "A hundred thoughts rush in a throng, Pushing a hundred thoughts along." I feel almost ready for the nunc dimittis—almost ready but not quite. "I want to be an angel." But from the hour I began it, I have found it a life of kindness and bliss, And, until you can show me some happier planet, More genial and bright, I'll content me with this." "As long as this world has such looks and such eyes, As round me this moment I see, You may talk as you will of your mansions in skies. But this is the world for you and me." Not only is this the world, but this the part and this the hour. At our last session, when the question as to the next meeting place arose, I opposed coming to Boston, for the same reason I objected to studying medicine in Paris—I did not understand the language. It takes long and careful training to prepare an adult who has been bred to speak English, to speak and understand French. So with Bostonese. My first feeling, then, in response to your words of welcome, is one of mingled surprise and gratitude—surprise that plain English should be so well known here; and gratitude to you for deciding to make English, instead of Bostonese, the language of this occasion. Adaptability to environment is one of the commonest of natural phenomena, and you that dwell continually in the glittering effulgence of this magnificent city, have no idea how its kaleidescopic and iridescent glories affect the vision of those who inhabit the darker regions, which lie more or less remote from this classic center. Boston, big, boastful and beautiful: Boston, bright, breezy and bellicose: Boston, beany, blophagous and brainey: Boston, lean, learned and literary: Boston that always takes her grammar straight, if her streets are crooked, and her morals occasionally blas. Boston, that believes in liberty for herself and the right to set the pace for the other fellow: Boston, where every citizen is an I specialist if not an occulist. City of the hub, if not the hubby: Great, glorious, grandiloquent, bulimic efflorescence of the pie district: Buttressed with pork and beans, pilastered with succulent pastry: pollysyllabic, philosophical, patriotic, pulchritudinous, liberty-loving, bespectacled Boston: The cradle of liberty, the mother of great men, the beacon-light of democracy, the traveller's boast, the patriot's pride, the glory of our past history, the hope for our future triumphs, the hub of the Universe, "the fairest of ten thousand" and altogether lovely: Esto perpetual! May thy shadow never grow less and may thy guests always be as grateful as the one now addressing thee. It is the custom of inexperience to demonstrate its wisdom at every opportunity. As this is my first trip to Boston I may be expected to show my limited knowledge of Bostonese. I give it as heard in the remotest provinces. It must be genuine, because I obtained it from veracious travellers and honest newspapers ought to be reliable. The famous Dr. Johnson reached the form and force, if not the elegance, of pure Bostonese when, after examining a French Bill-of-fare, he exclaimed in disgust, "Sir, My brain is obfuscated with the perusal of this heterogeneous cong'omération of bastard English, ill-spelt and a foreign tongue. Bid the rascals bring me a dish of hog's pudding, a slice or two from the upper cut of a well roasted sirloin and two apple dumplings." A western traveler passing along the streets of Boston was thus accosted by ten-year-old America: "Pedal extremities artistically illuminated for the infinitesimal remuneration of one twentieth of a dollar." Understanding only plain English, he failed to recognize this as Bostonese for the Western "Shine your shoes for five cents." And hastened to his hotel to avoid what he thought an impending assault. I know not how the truth may be, I tell the tale as 'twas told to me. But seriously, it is my pleasure and privilege on this occasion to speak for a body of intelligent and earnest men and women working industriously and unselfishly for the accomplishment of (Continued on Page 3.) M. DR. J. T. WILSON. AND SURGEON IN ROCHESTER, MINN., WITH THE MAYO'S. The above is the likeness of Dr. J. T. Wilson, who for many years has conducted a well regulated infirmary in South Nashville. As a physician no one would doubt his ability and as a surgeon he ranks as one of the best this country has ever produced, having performed successfully time after time every operation on the human anatomy known to the medical profession. So anxious is he to become NATION'S GONGRESS TO BE HELD AT WALDEN. Alumni of University Much Disturbed. APPARENT THAT INSTITUTION FACES A CRISIS—RUMORED THAT PRESENT SITE WILL BE ABANDONED—STRONG PLEA MADE TO GRADUATES AND FRIENDS-AFRICAN TRAINING SCHOOL CANNOT BE MOVED. Walden University Faces a Crisis. The Nation's Congress, which will be given on Braden Field of Walden University, the week beginning September 13, will excel any former efforts of the Alumni. Few people realize the cause that is prompting the Alumni to give this entertainment. The site of the school is about to be changed, contrary to the wishes of the majority of the Alumni and friends of the school. The Freedman's Aid Society, which met in Cincinnati a few months ago, was divided; some of the members were for changing, others for keeping the present site, and placing new buildings there. This board will meet again in October to consider this same question. The Alumni feel that if the board at Cincinnati move part of the literary department one place, and leave that portion given for an African Mission Training school, which they will be compelled to do, it will mean the breaking up of the school. How much money can we raise on a building in order to induce them to build on the present site? This is the question that faces the Alumni and friends of the school. We boast of our progress since emancipation, of our millions of dollars worth of property, of our fine churches, farms, banks, etc.; we point with pride to our bishops, professional and business men, of how, by lightning strokes, we have accumulated honor, wealth and rank among men, we get upon the hilltops and blow our horns loudly in praise of our rising generation; in our mad rush for gold, we for- --- master of his chosen ambition and confine his practice wholly to surgical work, he is spending the greater part of the summer in Rochester, Minnesota with the Mayo's where he is taking special work especially in "goiters." Dr. Wilson will return to the city in a few days after filling several surgical engagements through the South and begin his operative work in his own infirmary about September 15th. get that throughout this Southland there are colleges and universities maintained by societies in the North, whose members read our boasts of progress, and they naturally look for indications of self-support for our educational and benevolent institutions. The Alumni of Walden foresaw this crisis many years ago and appealed through Dr. R. F. Boyd, to the ministers of the M. E. conference, colored, who were in session at Memphis at that time, to help them. The good preachers raised a mighty commotion in resolutions and promises, but not one cent has the association of the Alumni received from them. Nearly every other professional and business man of Nashville is in some way connected to Walden University; many of our leading men not only received their professional training but their literary training as well, it will be seen through these columns just what they will do to try to save this site for the literary departments. Miss Tillie Lloyd, Meharry Medical College, is treasurer of the building fund, will gladly receive any check or money sent to her, and notice of the same will be given through these columns. Miss Mamie Braden started a movement for the same purpose and received eleven dollars, which amount is in the bank. Not being able to follow up the matter by visitation, the rest of the subscriptions received were not collected. Now since the rally is on, the Alumni and friends should rally and save this school, founded by her father, the sainted John Braden. We should remember that the work of Dr. John Kumler, the president of the school, has been very difficult, he took charge at a very critical time, when few men would have accepted. He has had to face law suits and all the embarrassments brought on by his predecessor, there was little that he could do with nothing to back him. E. M. DICKERSON, Cor. Sec'y, ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The death of Mr. Calvin Shane, of Pittsburg, Pa., was quite a shock to his people. Mr. Shane was quite an enthusiastic and energetic young man, who had many friends in Nashville. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Shane, of Donelson, Tenn. This young man formerly lived in Nashville. His many friends in Pittsburg sent a beautiful floral design with the remains, which arrived in Nashville Sunday, August 15. The funeral was attended by Revs. Taylor and Harding at St. James Chapel. BRIGHT LIFE ENDED. No.34. Officers Elected for Another Year. HON. J. C. NAPIER RETAINS CHAIRMANSHIP OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE-NASHVILLE WELL REPRESENTED IN BANKERS ASSOCIATION-MOORE, BOYD AND KEALING HONORED-NUMBER OF CITIES BIDDING FOR NEXT MEETING. The tenth annual session of the National Negro Business League closed in Louisville last Friday and from the report brought back to Nashville by its delegation, in persons of J. C. Napier, T. Clay Moore, R. H. Boyd, A. N. Johnson, R. F. Boyd, W. H. McGavock and others, it was the greatest session ever held. The delegates say that the effect of the League can be not only felt but seen everywhere and that the spirit of organization is at fever heat. Many new organizations were added and will come under the strong wing of the League. Nashville reported, as other progressive Southern cities, a long list of new business men and enterprises that have come upon the scene of business activity within the last twelve months and put in a claim to be recognized as Greater Nashville. "Mississippi Day" a Banner Occasion. The Mississippi delegation, headed by Charles Banks, president of the Mississippi State Negro Business League, made a splendid showing Thursday, taking up the entire program. The subjects discussed covered a wide range, including merchandizing, farming, the drug business, banking, fraternal insurance, management of a cottonseed oil mill, and the Negro in the professions. A report of the achievements of the State League was presented. The speakers embraced-Bishop Ellas Cottrell, W. F. Mollison, E. P. Jones, W. P. Mackintosh, Isaiah Mitchell, Isaiah T. Montgomery, Dr. E. P. Brown, A. A. Cosey, P. W. Howard, C. W. Gilliam and others. A large collection of photos was on exhibition in the church lobby and on the platform, showing the work of the Negroes of the State of Mississippi in the arts and industries. During the rendition of the program the Mississippiians, fifty strong, occupied a section facing the rostrum. In the afternoon the body enjoyed a picnic at White City (River View Park) a charming resort thrown open to the Negro for the third time since its development, through the generosity of Manager Simon. Here Dr. Washington delivered a telling address, followed by Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University; Adam Smith, Oklahoma's "cotton king;" Rev. W. L. Taylor, president of the New Reformers' Bank, Richmond, Va., and Frank W. King, of Chicago. In the evening at the church, Mr. C. C. Stoll, member of the Board of Public Works, of Louisville, Ky.; Dr. G. W. Penniman, representing the International Sunday-School Committee, and Emmett J. Scott, one of the three members of the United States commission appointed by President Taft to investigate the political, industrial and social problems in the Republic of Liberia, delivered strong speeches, and pleased the large audience present. Closing Program and Election of Officers. Friday was closing doy, but the interest was in no manner abated, despite the strenuous gait at which the hospitable citizens of Louisville had carried the delegates throughout the week. During the morning session Dr. R. E. Jones, of Louisiana, W. M. Alexander, of Little Rock, Ark., Miss Nannie Burroughs, of Louisville, Miss Kelly, of Eckstien Norton University, Miss Irene L.

The Women's Economical Club, Mrs. Sarah Mayfield, 824 Magazine street, a lawn party at the Y. M. C. A. grounds, and other affairs of an enjoyable character were given, culminating with the grand banquet on Friday evening at Liederkranz Hall, at which covers for over 500 guests were laid. Dr. Washington and the officers and friends of the League are loud in their praise of Louisville's lavish hospitality and agree that this city has outranked all others in the number of delegates present, life members secured, money collected, interest manifested, and entertainment extended.

Chicago, Ill., Aug 21.—There has been in session in this city this week the federation of women's clubs. Aside from transacting the regular routine business, the federation from the state of Illinois again went in record as favoring "Negro dolls for Negro children." True, the idea was endorsed last year when the federation met at Springfield, but at this session more enthusiasm was added when Mrs. W. E. Demoss, a delegate from Cooke County, presented Mrs. Eva Monroe, of Springfield, Ill., the president of the federation, with one of the beautiful toys, which came from the National Negro Doll Company, of Nashville, Tenn. It was a scene long to be remembered. Immediately a half dozen women were on their feet at the same time with resolutions commending the effort and the lesson to be taught to the children of the race through this toy. So stronger resolutions, strengthening the act of the federation last year were unanimously adopted, and, as a result, most of the clubs in the various cities in the state will use the dolls this year. EARNING AN EDUCATION. It is encouraging to note that the State Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Normal, Alabama, under its new head, Pres. Walter S. Buchanan, is offering young men and women of character and pluck an opportunity to work their way through school. A splendid night school is conducted for the benefit of students who must pay their expenses by working in the shops all day. A limited number of day pupils are allowed to work out from one to three dollars per month. Additional courses and the new schedule, giving more time to shop work, make it possible for more students to gain proficiency in the trades. President Buchanan is making a special effort to meet the needs of girls and boys of limited means who wish to learn trades while they pursue their regular literary courses. IN CHANCERY AT NASHVILLE.

Song and prayer by Miss Susie Bender. Roll was called and quotations given and monthly dues collected. The query box was in charge of Mrs. Watson Boyd, this being quite an interesting feature of the evening. Mrs. Henry, of Chattnooga made quite an interesting talk. The hostess served the club ice cream and cake. Those present to enjoy Mrs. Ridley's hospitality were Mrs. Watson Boyd, Mrs. Cynthia Boyd, Miss Bender, Miss Morgan, Mrs. Henry and Mollie Snowden. The meeting adjourned to meet with Miss Donnie Smith the first Monday in September. LAWN FETE. The Lawn Fete given by the Ladies Aid Society of the First Baptist Church on the beautiful lawn of Rev. and Mrs. Ellington was a success. The attendance was good. The most attractive table on the lawn was the cake table, of which Mrs. J. B. Singleton was chairman. A cluny lace centerpiece was used on which stood a vase of cut flowers and cakes. The most beautiful cake was the one given by Mr. J. C. McCauley, which was very large and handsomely decorated, and was rapidly sold for $4.50. Mrs. Louis Fort, the President, and her co-workers deserve credit for the manner in which they planned this occasion. MR. AND MRS. BOWLING ENTER- TAIN Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Bowling of 2000 Batavia street, entertained a number of young friends at a lawn fete Sunday afternoon, August 22, in THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 27. 1909. honor of their niece, Miss Georgia Bowling Nevells, of Memphis, Tenn. The lawn was beautifully decorated. Miss Jennie Lee Anderson presided at the punch bowl. The following helped to receive: Mesdames N. J. Anderson, Jennie C. Lee and Allen Boyd. The following young people were present: Misses Georgia Nevells, Edwina Smith, Callie Beasley, Lizzie Wells, Minnie Hunter, Clara Hightower, Hazel Thompson, Ethel Jordan, Lizzie Allen, Jennie Lee Anderson, Dickay Childress, Bessie Wade, Mary Young and sister, Messrs. Lay, Webster, Johnson, Battle, Bogle, Richardson, Hightower and Boyd. An elaborate menu was served on the lawn, after which Mr. Lay took a group picture of the party. Miss Nevilles, before returning to her home in Memphis, will visit the country home of her mother in Springfield, Tenn. NEGRO LAWYER THEIR COUNSEL Three White Men Proven Innocent of an Ugly Charge. Decatur, Ala., Aug. 24.—After a trial lasting two days before Justice F. M. Hamilton, of New Decatur, Jas. Dodson, Pick Roden and Jim Chandler, all white, were found not guilty of stealing a barge and a lot of scrap iron and telephone cables from the Morgan County Telephone Company. It was proven that the barge was the property of Pick Roden, and that these men had legally bought the iron, which was found in their possession. It is hinted that they may bring an action of damage against the Telephone Company for unlawful arrest. One of the most interesting features of the trial was the fact that the defendants were represented by H. V. Cashin, of Decatur, one of the best known Negro lawyers of the South. His argument is said to have been one of the strongest ever heard in this county. CHAPEL HILL NOTES The W. P. L. A. A. Association had a grand entertainment at Haston Chapel August 28, which was quite a success. Mrs. Lizzie Rhay's baby is very sick. Mrs. Cornnie Snell is visiting Mrs. Mary King. HUMBOLDT NOTES. Humboldt is rapidly improving. Concrete walks are being laid all over the town and now the little western city is preparing to have electric cars. The D. A. met here last week. Quite a number of visitors were in town. Among the many visitors in our town last week was Mrs. Ollie Harden Officer, of Murfreesboro, Tenn. Misses Willie and Jimmie Bumpous and Mr. Ed. Jelks, cousins of Mrs. Officer, spent Saturday and Sunday in Humboldt. Misses Tommie and Annabel Reggins are now teaching at Gibson's Well. They entertained Mrs. Officer last Thursday evening. Dancing and cards were the features of the evening. We are sorry to learn of the illness of little Roberta, the daughter of Mrs. R. J. Simmons. A fishing party went out from Alamo last Wednesday in honor of Mrs. Officer, of Murfreesboro and quite a crowd of young people enjoyed the trip. The crowd was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Jelks, cousins of Mrs. Officer and Mr. and Mrs. Zelna Lucas. Mrs. Ollie Officer left Humboldt Saturday night at 11 o'clock en route to her home, Murfreesboro, Tenn . Dr. Stephens, pastor of Lane Chapel, is in Kansas City at this writing attending the K. P.'s Encampment; also Dr. O. S. Sawyers. The Humboldt Fair is expected to be interesting this fall. MONTEAGLE NOTES A crowd of young people chaperoned by Messrs. W. H. Petty, of Huntsville, Ala.; R. H. Mason and Mrs. Myrtle Brown, had a very delightful trip to Monteagle Wonder Cave Tuesday night. Those to enjoy the trip were Misses Myria Stone, Mary T. Cole, Nannie Buford Brooks, Messrs. Shelea Williams, Henderson Williams, Herbert A. Childress, Ernest Brown, Dave Alexander and Upshaw. There will be an ice cream festival Thursday night given by Mr. Riley Jarrett for the benefit of Spruce Street Baptist Church. A prize will be given to the most popular lady who sells the greatest number of tickets. The young ladies are Miss Willa Freeman Stone, of Columbia and Miss Nannie Burford Brooks, of Nashville. --- INVITATION TO LADIES The Executive Committee of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Co., 410 Cedar street, extend an invitation to all ladies coming up town shopping or on business to stop in at the new bank and rest. Get a cool drink of water and a souvenir. The bank is neatly fitted up and you are always welcome and will be kindly received. COMMUNICATION. Superiority Versus So-called Inferiority. When the Alabama Legislature stopped to consider the bill introduced by one Reynolds for the compulsory education of white children to the exclusion of colored children, it did the entire state a grave piece of injustice. It was hardly to be expected that the saner members of a law-making body in a Southern commonwealth would stand for such a small, onesided and bias piece of legislative enactment as that which the man Reynolds was disposed to inflict upon the state. He accomplished one thing sure and that was he succeeded in publicly advertising and acknowledging by his "little" compulsory education bill for white children only, that they need just such a stimulus to prick them on to drive, to urge, to force, to constrain them to keep the colored lads and lassies from forging ahead in the acquisition of the intellectual dole meted out by the state in its public free school system. When it is remembered that the white man boasts, and that, too, loudly, of his naturally superior endowments over those of his brother in black, it is passing strange that he has to resort to such and so many discriminating and drastic laws and subterfuges to bolster up and make seem that much-vaunted superiority. If by nature he is the favored child of the gods, then why not take his chances on an even footing with his inferior brother in the scramble for the goal? This is rather an exasperating question, and hard, too, to answer when all the facts relative to "jim-crow" legislation to hold in abeyance inferiority are taken into consideration. Why tie the hands and feet of your competitor who is to compete with you for the goal and then because he does not amble along as rapidly as yourself, say he is inferior? Does superiority have to have recourse to such tactics to win over inferiority? If so, there a single commendable element or redeeming feature about such superiority? Speaking of genuine superiority, the answer, emphatically, is—No! The real article is self-reliant, courageous and fair. It is the embodiment of self-faith, and takes no unfair advantage. In one of his great speeches, and touching upon the boastfulness of his race as to its superiority, Bob Ingersoll said, in substance that the thoroughbred did not care how many jackasses were on the tract when the time came he would show them his heels. The illustration is homely, but to the point. If the solon who introduced the compulsory education bill for whites only in the Alabama Legislature belongs to the race which claims superiority, for such a bill presupposes that he does, then what need had he to do so? Is it possible that he feared the indisposition of the white progeny of his state to distance the colored boys and girls in intellectual pursuit? The bill is an ill-concealed admission that there is a deep-rooted fear somewhere, which is clearly indicated by the bias and frenzied action of such men as that compulsory-education-for-whites-only solon of Alabama. Here is another example of fear or uneasiness on the part of an opponent of compulsory education for all the people, which appeared in a local daily paper Thursday, August 9: "Senator Tillman warned the people of the State against compulsory education, saying that it would prepare the Negroes for the ballot and might in time result in their controlling elections in South Carolina." Editorially the same paper quotes Tom Watson and comments quite pointedly: "Keep the Negro ignorant,' says Tom Watson. Even a brute should not be kept ignorant—not even Tom Watson." Superiority should not have to resort to such methods as it is doing to hold in the shadows of ignorance a so-called inferior people. But in all seriousness, is it not a clear as noonday fact, that underlying all this opposition is a fear of what the sober, painful and inferior (?) people are doing in the way of creditable achievements? JADECEE. The Academy and Industrial School of the Immaculate Mother will reopen September 10th, when new applicants for admission will be registered. The sewing and dress-making departments will also re-open on the same date; and since the number of pupils admitted to these departments is limited, it is important to begin work promptly;—hence, applications for admission to these classes should be sent in at least two weeks before the opening of the term. DOCTOR HAMMOND'S SUMMER CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL OUR SUMMER CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL. Our Summer Correspondence Course, is intended to help any person who wishes to spend a few months, in the Systematic Study of the word of God. The Course will be continued until the close of the year, and on its completion, we will give the student a certificate showing his proficiency in the Course of Study. We will review the following studies; viz. The Bible and its books Scripture History; Introduction to the New Testament; History of the Christian Church; Manual of Christian Evidences; Plain Account of Christian Perfection; Systematic Theology; Pastoral Theology, and Binney's Theological Compend, Part 1st. We will also give lessons in the Elements of Psychology, if the student shall so elect, and has advanced to that point in his reading and study. The questions are sent to each student on the first of each month which are to be answered and sent to this office not later than the 27th day of the same month. We examine the papers, and grade them according to merit. The fee is $1.25 per month to be paid invariably in advance; on the receipt of which, the lessons for the series will be forwarded to the student. Series or Lessons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 should begin on the 2nd day of each month; although students may matriculate at any time.

Correspondence is solicited. Enclose stamp for reply. Yours faithfully. MISS ALLEN ENTERTAINS MISS ALLEN ENTERTAINS. One of the most enjoyable functions of the season was a beautifully planned dance given by Miss Lillian D. Allen at the residence of her sister, Mrs. R. S. White, of Fourteenth avenue, North, last Monday night. The entertainment was given in honor of Miss Edwina Smith, who leaves in a few days for Brooklyn, N. Y., where she will pursue a course in domestic science. The porch, which was artistically decorated with Japanese lanterns, presented a beautiful picture as the guests approached. At 9 o'clock, to the entrancing strains of the orchestra, ladies in their charming gowns and gentlemen attired in shirt-walists glided off and gave themselves up entirely to the pleasures of Terpsichore. The hostess was assisted in receiving and entertaining her guests by Mesdames R. S. White, F. G. Smith, Coombs and N. J. Anderson. Frappe was dispensed throughout the evening by Miss Lucy B. White. At a late hour a delightful ice collation was served. Those present to enjoy the hospitality of the hostess were: Andrew Johnson, Lorenzo Johnson, Wm. Boger, Dr. Napier, Howard Thompson, Ira Scott, D. Wesley Crutcher, Chisom Erwin, George Upshaw, Dr. Green, Robt. Polk, Fred Williams, Thos. Hightower, Frank Smith, Jr., Frank Johnson, Chas. M. Ferguson, Misses Callie Beasley, Emma Owens, Otilla McCall, Edwina Smith, Lillian Badger, Ethel Jordan, Jennie Lee Noel, Hazel Thompson, Lady Emma Phillips, Belle Davis, Tampa, Fla., Polk Berry, Elizabeth Wells, Minnie Hunter, Maria Coombs, Clara Hodgkins, Hattie Hodgkins, Elise Jones, Selma, Ala., Lucy White, Anita Scott, Mabel Scott, Beatrice Walker, Roberta Walker, Willie Holland, Byrd Holland, Beatrice Lewis, Josephine Style, Milledgeville, Ga., Georgia Nevels, Memphis, Laura Smith. ENJOYABLE EVENING. Quite an enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mrs. Jas. Harding, 1505 Jackson street, last Tuesday evening. Music was the feature of the evening. Manw sweet songs were rendered by Mr. Samuel White accompanied by Miss Sadie Harding who is a most accomplished young pianist. Miss Nettle McIntosch sang "Are You Sincere," in a most pleasing manner. Light refreshments were served by Mr. Hiram Harding. Those present were Misses Nettle Rose and Alice McIntosch, Cleo Evans, Hattie Creighton, Anna Bell Prim, Hettie Fowler, Sadie Harding and Mrs. McIntach, Messrs. Avery Payton, Samuel White, Hiram, Felix, and Adam Harding. THE FIRST BAPTIST. "Royalty Emthroned" will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning. Mr. Scovel Richardson will occupy the pulpit Sunday night. a definite purpose. This purpose is plainly stated on the cover of our journal. "As comrades of a scattered band At war against disease and death, We meet to grasp the friendly hand And reaffirm our common faith." The National Medical Association finds its reason for being in America conditions and in the spirit of the Twentieth Century. It is the Normal reaction to environment usually made by the winners in life's battle. There be those who oppose our organization but their action is based on nescience and not upon knowledge. Their objections are constitutional, rather than philosophical. I saw a beautiful meadow in which flourished every kind of grass that would please the taste and nourish the bodies of the herbivorous world. Here and there grew a bunch of thistles. Among the numerous inhabitants I noticed one eating the thistles instead of the grass. He did it for constitutional reasons. A near-poet thusly sings: An animal in a grassy field, Ate thistles instead of grass: His reasons were constitutional, For he was but an—a donkey. Now the donkey body is always associated with a donkey mind, but the donkey mind is often found in other animals. The class bimana Genus Homo, for instance. This fact explains may other wise inexplicable things. Our association aims to vitalize the wisdom of a Boston philosopher, who said, "Let us suck the sweetness of those affections and consuetudes that grow near us." Mounting a borrowed Pegasus, I declare unto you, that "Unaffrighted by the forces around us, Undistracted by the sights we see, We demand that the things about us Yield us sweet utility; For, self-poised we'll live, nor pine with, noting All the fever of some differing soul All the fever of some differing soul, Bounded by ourselves, and unregardful In what state God's other works may be: In our own tasks all our powers pouring And thus attain the mighty life to be. We are resolved to be ourselves, knowing well, that he who finds himself, loses his misery." On behalf of the National Medical Association I accept with sincerest gratitude your words of welcome and assure you that it is our desire to so act that these days of gracious hospitality on your part may be to you a pleasant memory forever and ave. On Wednesday morning private sessions were held as follows: 9 to 11, Blossom Street Children Hospital: 11 to 1 City Hospital; to 2, luncheon, City hospital; 2:30 to 3:30, Massachusetts General Hospital; later, Plymouth hospital, and dental clinics at the infirmary of the Tufts Dental college. On Friday, August 27, the visiting physicians and their friends were tendered a trip down the Boston harbor to Bass Point, Nahant and return. --- CITY ITEMS.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1909. PRIVILEGE ABUSED, On the nineteenth of this month our biennial registration period came to a close. There was a general falling off in every county in the State, and especially is this true of the Negroes. This is to be regretted by every right- thinking man. There is no compul- sion in this matter, neither is there any cost to the individual, Every voter can register or let it alone, just as he sees fit, but he is in error who thinks that the political affairs of the State do not concern him. The Ne- groes of this country have been dis- cussing the affairs of the nation and neglecting home forty years. They are constantly complaining about what the president of the United States is not doing for them or what he is doing against them, but fail to see the many things they might do for themselves in the communities where they live. It is more important to have dis trict, county and city officials who are courageous enough to do their duty according to the law than it is to have a president of the United States who would be constantly heralding mes: sages over the country demanding that this thing or that be done for “the “oppressed race.” Half of ‘the counts and city officials never read such mes sages, and would not heed them it they did. What the Negroes of Tom nessee want to do first of all is te study home conditions. Prove to the people among whom they live tha they are more interested in that com munity than any in the country Again, they should study the men wh &spire to public office, and he prepare to decide who are the best qualifies and vote accordingly. But to vote i ‘Tennessee requires that two things b cone. First, you must register. Sec end, you must pay your poll tay ‘These requirements complied wit every man is entitled to vote. It { to the everlasting discredit of the Ne groes of this state that so few regi: tered and it is hoped that they wi awaken to the necessity of being | galized voters and redeem the priv lege they have abused by swelling th number in the three days supplemen ary registration that will be hel shortly befere the election. Clarksville is making a strong bid for Turner Normal College now lo- cated at Shelbyville. Their interest in home is to be admired. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1909. SEMI-CENTENNIAL. The idea that the Negroes of the United States holding a celebration in 1913 in commemoration of the Eman- cipation Proclamation that will be fifty years old by that time seems to be taking well with the people, It ought to be done. Hundreds of thou- sands of men and women who bare marks of the slave owners’ lash will be living then, and great would be their rejoicing to realize that they had lived fifty years as free men and women, whereas if the celebration should not be held on the semi-cen- tennial year very few of the ex-slaves would be living, if any, to participate in a centennial celebration, Jt would mean more to them than it can thean te those born since the Civil War. ‘The celebration would furnish a splendid opportunity to the Negroes of the United States to show to the world just what has been accomplished in a half century by a people set at liberty with absolutely nothing. Preparations should be begun ‘at once to organize a committee and set them to work, for if this project succeeds it must be carefully planned and executed on strictly business principles. THE WHOLE TRUTH. | The Nashville American in the issue of August the eighth in discussing “The Servant Problem” tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth, ‘The ecitorial follows and speaks for itself: A good many housewives wonder ‘why they have so much trouble secur- ing domestic service. ‘They are prone to complain to their neighbors of their ‘difficulties in this respect. They wor- ry their husbands about it; they worry ‘themselves over it. Do these troubled, complaining housewives really realize the reason why they can not secure the needed help in the kitchen and in boudoir? ‘Do they ever look at the question ‘from the standpoint of the hired? There are good and bad servants. In the South the bulk of the domes- ‘tic service is by Negroes, There are lots of bad Negro servants, But there are a great many bad Negro servants who might he made good Negro ser- vants if the mistress had the proper conception of her own duties and at the same time recognized the fact that the servant had rights which should not be ignored. No right-minded considerate mis- tress can expect to have a good cook or housematd When she works either fourteen to sixteen hours a day. She can not have a considerate servant if ‘she is not a considerate mistress. Our servant supply is unreliable. It heeds neither contracts nor agree- ments, When it gets ready to quit service it quits, though the housewife may be ever so much in need of a help at the particular moment. Not, infre- quently this is the case even when the mistress is most kind and consid erate of her servants. But if servants were required to “work a specified number of hours, if ‘they were allowed certain hours off, ‘if they were provided with good quar- ‘ters, and, most important of all. of they were treated considerately, their virtues magnified and their short- comings minimized. there — would be fewer homes without cooks and maids. The servant is human, with the same attributes the employer pos- sesses. He or she is selfish, resentful, jealous, just as we are, He or she has feelings like the rest of us. If he or she is considerately treated and not made the butt of ridicule and fault-inding, there will not Ijkely be vacancies in the “quarters.” How do you treat your cook or maid, Mrs. Busybody? Do you hold them to beggarly wages, limit their supply of food, decline to give them time they can call their own, and abuse an¢ nag at them? Ask yourself the ques tion; also what would you do if you were in the servant's place? ‘There are homes in Nashville where the servants haye grown old ‘where they have. become a part and "parcel of the family. Would these ol¢ “servants be at these homes all thes¢ years if some other than the presen} mistress presided over the household’ _No. ‘The present mistress has beer considerate. She has fed, housed "warmed the servant, paid good wages -and been ever mindful of the ser | vant’s feelings, She has required thi full measure of duty from the em jployed, but she has had the tact t “get it without the servant complain > ing. .| Why can not all the housewives b as successful? The answer lies wit jthe housewife as often as with: thi cook or the’ maid. THE. PRESS ASSOCIATION. When several of the leading Negro Mewspaper men and publishers launched the National Negro Press As- sociation in Louisville last week they took a’ step that is of greater magni- tude than it appears to be at first thought. It is generally conceded that the influence of the Negro press is very limited in proportion to the number of weekly papers and monthly and quarterly. magazines published. This fact can only be attributed to the fact that there has been no con- cert of action. It is hoped that the new organization will make that point one of the first thingsto be considered. The press is a powerful agency when properly used, while on the other hand it becomes the greatest nuisance in the world when improper- ly used. The men at the head of the Nationa Negro Press Association are ‘nen well acquainted with the nature ‘of the undertaking and can be relied ae to steer the new project clear of ine many dangers lurking in the paths of those who essay to tell the people ins news. ‘The Normal College to be estab- lished by the State for the Negro youth is not receiving that hearty sup- port from the people it should. ‘There are many details to be worked out ‘in connection with. this institution, ‘and the State Superintendent needs ‘thie aid of men who have the interest a the school at heart. Of all things, in the world there is nothing so much to be desired ‘among the Negroes of Nashville as uni- ty of action. It seems an absolute Impossibility to get the leaders to agree on anything, This lesson will have-to be learned before Nashville's representative men can take their places in the world. Prof. Wiley and Secretary Wilson ave wrangling over the flour questioa and the Bulls and Bears are having their daily ups and downs over the wheat pit, but the people are devour- ing their daily portion of bread if they have the price. In a few weeks the Summer vaca tion will be at an end. The army of boys and girls will take their places in the day schools, and at the night school, all who desire to may at- tend. Every seat should be filled in both the day and night schools. We said last week that Dr, Booker ‘ Washington advocated a tri-centen- vial in his annual address to the National Business League. We owe Mr. Washington an apology. He ad- yocates a semi-centennial. | At last the irrepressible Senator Tillman has bobbed up -again. The cid fellow reminds us of the cat, He comes back when we least expect, and too, with a red hot one every time. ‘The State Fair will soon be with us. Why not make it a grand occa sion by inviting all Tennesseans re siding afar to visit the old home once more. This year will go down in history as the “splitting year” among lodges. No one is benefited by these disagree- ments. ‘They can only work hardships on their sister bodies. i EDITORIAL CLPPINGS.
