THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. LABOR DAY GELEBRATION AT GREENWOOD PARK MONDAY. Thousands Turn Out For A Day of Rest. GAY TIME SPENT BY THE IMMENSE THRONG—SPORT OF A HIGH ORDER ENLIVENS THE OCCASION—REV. A. J. STOKES, OF CLARKSVILLE, ORATOR OF THE DAY — MAKES STRONG APPEAL IN FAVOR OF LABORING MAN—NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT TO MAR THE SERENITY OF THE DAY—A DAY LONG TO BE REMEMBERED IN NASHVILLE — LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN EVIDENCE. The observance of Labor Day in accordance with Governor M. R. Patterson's proclamation was general in the city. While many of the business houses did not close all day, a larger portion of them closed the better part of the day. Some were forced to work the whole day. But the people of Nashville took advantage of the beautiful weather and lovely night and celebrated in the afternoon and evening what they were deprived of during the day. A tremendous crowd went out to beautiful Greenwood Park where a labor day picnic and celebration was held under the auspices of the Nashville Trades and Labor Council, Barbers' Union No. 79. Stone Masons' Union No. 1 and Hod Carriers' Union No. 3, together with other societies and labor organizations. It is stated that not a livery stable in the city had a team or horse and buggy by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so general was the outing by all the people. A special program was rendered out at Greenwood in the interest of the labor organizations. Good music was the order of the day. Speaking, of course, interspersed and made the day more national by the character of the discourse. Many amusements have been added to the park. W. T. McCrae, the well-known Third avenue barber, acting for the Trades and Labor Council, was general manager of the celebration. The Pythian Band furnished music throughout the day and night. Conservative estimate places the attendance for the day between seven and ten thousand. It was almost impossible to get a seat on the cars, going or coming, until after 10 o'clock at night. All of this is evidence that day by day the popularity of Greenwood Park is becoming more general. The principal speaker of the day was Mr. James Stokes, of Clarksville, Tex., who dwelt principally upon the conditions that the laboring man was confronting today. Mr. Stokes impressed every one as being a sober, clear-thinking, far-seeing man of the race. He was very careful to advise the laboring man to honor and appreciate the advantages that they were receiving which, according to his idea, were superior to those enjoyed by thousands of foreigners in their home country. He would have the Negroes give an honest day's labor every time and appreciate what is offered him in the Southland. The usual attractions were in evidence at the park. There was the planation show drawing its usual crowds, the cakewalk, both evening and night, the country store, shooting galleries, merry-go-round, and a hundred other minor attractions, such as baseball and racing. The baseball game was between the Greenwood Giants and the West Nashville Giants, which ended in favor of the Greenwood aggregation. It was past 11 o'clock before the last celebrators reached their home. Miss Matilda Streator, of Memphis, who spent a few days in the city, is visiting in Shelbyville. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1909. PUBLISHING BOARD HOLDS MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Baptist Publishing Board was held in the office of Secretary Boyd at 10:30 Tuesday morning. Almost the entire session of the Board was taken up with conventional matters according to Chairman C. H. Clark's statement as this was the meeting in which the report for the fiscal year was considered and discussed. It is learned from Rev. G. B. Taylor, a member of the board, that one of the biggest reports ever submitted to a be made at the National Convention by the secretary. Two of the out-of-town members, Rev. T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville, and Rev. C. A. Bell, or Chattanooga were not able to reach the meeting but sent their proxiles. The next meeting, which is to be held in October, is to be the annual meeting and a large attendance is predicted. NEGROES SHOULD PAY THEIR POLL TAXES. Baptist Preacher Advocates Registration of All Negro Voters. On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock one of the leading Baptist preachers of the city spoke on "Good Citizenship." He took the Biblical stand that as a people, it is the duty of the Negro, especially the men, to qualify as citizens and voters. He pointed to a passage of Scripture showing that Christ taught it, when he sent the disciples to catch a fish and told them that in the fish's mouth there would be found money and with this his taxes were to be paid. Dr. C. H. Clark, of Mt. Olive Church, preached the sermon and scored the indolent, disinterested Negroes of Nashville who, by their failure to register, were not only lowering the citizenship of the race, but were destroying their power and throwing away the privilege of suffrage accorded them under the Constitution. The able divine said that a man who would not pay his poll tax and register was hardly worthy of citizenship and was certainly incapable of being a leader and unfit to be a husband. He went further than this. He declared that the young women of the race, if necessary, should discriminate against the young men who are not far-seeing and manly enough to qualify by registering and paying their poll tax. A splendid audience listened to this and the fact that the city is planning to have supplementary registration will afford an opportunity to the young men, who failed to register, to fall in line. It is estimated that not more than 50 per cent of the Negroes in the city registered at the last registration. POLITICAL CHANGES AT CUSTOM HOUSE. "From present indications it looks as though the Republican pie counter is being given a serious shake and that there is going to be some dissatisfaction and some old-time scrambling over positions," said a prominent member of the G. O. P. last week when the newspapers had so much to say about the demotion of Deputy W. W. Taylor to the position of storekeeper and his (Taylor's) subsequent resignation. All of this was brought about by Collector R. S. Sharpe, of the Internal Revenue, appointing three new deputy collectors of internal revenue, as follows: Charles Clark, Deputy Collector in the office to succeed W. W. Taylor as collector of the middle district of Tennessee; Morris D. Cohen to succeed Clark. Cohen was promoted from the position of storekeeper and gauger to that of collector. The two additional appointments as deputy collectors for the state at large were Levi Trewbitt, of Cleveland, Tenn., who is the editor of the Cleveland Herald, and George J. Connor, of Knoxville. Explanations do not seem to allay the disturbance in political affairs. The resignation of Mr. Taylor, which is reported, now puts matters in the worst shape. IN EDGEWOOD Mrs. Louis K. Thomas and children, Louis K., Jr., and Reba Y., spent a few days of last week with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ysobelle Keeble, of Edgewood. They were joined Sunday by Mrs. John Lewis and daughter, Ophelia, and Miss Lyda Castor. After having plenty of good things to eat and a mosquitoless night, they all returned to the city Monday morning. CITY SCHOOLS BEGIN YEAR'S WORK MONDAY MORNING. Arrangements Preparatory to Opening Perfected. NUMBER REPORTING FOR SEATS THURSDAY INDICATE RECORD- BREAKING ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR-EVERY SCHOOL BUILD- ING CROWDED TO UTMOST CAPACITY — WONDERFUL PROGRESS MADE IN CITY SCHOOLS OF NASHVILLE — PROBABLE THAT NEW SCHOOLHOUSE WILL BE BUILT IN NORTH NASHVILLE — SOME OF THE OLDEST TEACHERS STILL ACTIVE. On Thursday, September 9th, thousands of children were seen crowding the many schoolhouses of this city. It was the day set apart by the city of Nashville for children to report to the different schools where they could be assigned their seats for the coming school term. Every schoolhouse and every seat in these school rooms has been taken or claimed for the time being by some ambitious urchin or lad who had registered either by the desire of the parent or from its own ambitious heart to acquire knowledge. The principals of the various schools report that this is the most encouraging outlook for a bright school year they have ever had, and some of these teachers have been in the schoolroom for nearly a quarter of a century. In fact, some of them have been teaching since the time when the public schools of Nashville were taught entirely by whites. It is stated that some of the oldest teachers in point of service now in the city schools are J. P. Crawford, M. D., Principal of Knowles School: Miss. Josie Lapsley, the Assistant Principal of Pearl High School, and Miss Mary K. Hill, Miss McKeever. Dr. R. S. White. Prof. W. S. Thompson. Miss Lena T. Jackson. Miss J. E. Benson and others. These notable workers have labored for a number of years and have taught some men and women who are helping to shape the destiny of a great people. The city schools of Nashville when they open Monday morning will be no doubt entering upon a new epoch-making period. at least, it is said that the educational work so far as the city is concerned is receiving substantial encouragement in many ways. It is said the improvements that are being made in buildings, faculty, and curriculum are going to equal if not surpass that of any city in the United States notwithstanding Nashville in point of public school system ranks fourth. It is evident since the new high school building proposition has passed, or been ordered by the people of Nashville that the Negro schools will be given some real attention. That is, rumor has it that possibly a new school building for the residents of North Nashville is to be honored for, and that the contention to tear down Knowles School and replace it with one that will insure the safety of the lives of the occupants is not a hope that is a vain one. An enrollment, large and encouraging, convinces the most skeptical mind that the city is growing and that the people are appreciating the educational advantages superior, as they are said to be, received in the city. There are people in Nashville, said one well-known schoolteacher who is regarded as an educator of no mean ability who have seen the development of the public school idea grow from insignificance to its present exalted standing. They were interested in or attended the school when they were held in the present building of Knowles School years ago, that was when Fisk University ty occupied the present site, where the Howard Congregational Church is and when the old building now used partially as a barn that is located on the spur track of the Tennessee Central Railroad on Hamilton street, was used as one of the city schools. To the child who sits in the magnificent buildings of Belleview, Napier, and Hadley today, it would sound more like a fairy tale than reality to show them where their parents once attended school. Encouraging strides these are, and as the Negroes of Nashville continue to send their children to fill up the present quarters, other provisions must be made and will be made to meet the demands and their accommodations. Seven, new teachers have been added to the list, some of them taking the places of teachers who have resigned and gone to follow other professions as well as some that have gone out by marriage. MEHARRY OPENS WEDNESDAY The medical department of Meharry will open Wednesday, September 15th according to Dean Hubbard's statement and according to arrangements already perfected. Students are arriving already. They are coming as usual from the various portions of the United States and will enter school preparatory to a hard year's work. Dr. Hubbard has traveled extensively during the past summer and it is expected that the results will be seen at the opening Wednesday morning which while supposed to be simple, the services will mark the beginning of another year adding one more to the half-century mark of an institution that boasts of sending more than twelve hundred men of professions into the ranks of the race, scattering them in nearly every state in the Union. The Pharmaceutical College will not begin until the 92d of September, while the Dental College will open the last Wednesday in September which is the 29th day. It is learned that one or two additional members have been added to the faculty and that some special work is already outlined for them. The dean has been west, north, east, and has also travelled in the south in the interest of the school and hospital. One of the encouraging features this year will be the strenuous effort put forth to complete the hospital that is to be known as the Hubbard Hospital and which when completed will draw hundreds of professional men this way with their patients where they can be treated with all the modern science. It also means improved clinics and more experts coming here annually. MORE MONEY FOR UNCLE SAM. The announcement is made at the custom house by the officials that the proposed increase of 2 cents in the cost of all registered letters by the post-office department will mean an increase of about $1,200 a year in revenue in the local post-office. This, it is calculated, will pay the salaries of two new clerks in the registry division, which department has kept the Nashville post-office up near the toon with the other lage post-offices in the country. Postmaster Will will no doubt, take advantage of any improvement in the way of service and help that can be brought this way. Superintendent O'Callaghan, of the Registry Division of the post-office, stated that he did not believe that an increase of 2 cents in the fee for registration would cause any decrease in business, as persons desiring to send mail registered would not discontinue the practice as it served many purposes. First, you get a hand to hand receipt and you are thereby positive that the parcel or letter is delivered to the person for whom it was intended or to an authorized attendant. Second, it affords a safe transportation of valuables and important matter. However this may be, Uncle Sam is after increasing the revenue and decreasing the deficit in the post-office department. MISS FRANCES SIMPSON DEAD Miss Frances Simpson, a prominent young lady of Florence, Ala., died September 4th. She was the sister of Mr. James A. and Alfred M. Simpson who are well known in this city, having attended Walden University. Their many friends of Nashville will sympathize with them in their bereavement. TULLAHOMA SCENE OF GREAT ACTIVITY PAST WEEK. Fair and Missionary Society Hold Annual Sessions. J. FRANK BATTLE, OF NASHVILLE, HONORED AS RING MASTER AT FAIR-FIRST ATTEMPT DECIDED SUCCESS WOMAN'S HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION CONVENTION MEETING DOING GOOD WORK-THE MOUNTAIN TOWN CROWDED TO OVERFLOWING-EVERY AVAILABLE CONVENIENCE PRESSED INTO SERVICE - ELABORATE PROGRAMS THE ORDER OF THE OCCASION. Up in the mountains of Middle Tennessee among the tall oaks, pure air, sparkling freestone water and congenial people is the town of Tullahoma and the first attempt by the colored people to hold a fair was a success. The owners of hacks, traps and wagons could not accommodate the many people who were there to attend the first annual county fair. Visitors were there from all the adjoining counties and cities. The fair ground is a beautiful site, one mile from the depot. At the main entrance is a large freestone spring twenty feet wide and 30 feet long, that is always ready to serve the thirsty. On the inside is the floral hall, a two-story frame structure. The first floor was filled with booths; second floor was decorated with sugar cane, millet and field corn, beautiful potted and cut flowers and ferns. Canned fruit, vegetables, farm products, fancy work, cooking and all knives of cullets were on exhibit. The ladies are due the credit for that department. The poultry department was well represented. There were chickens, ducks and turkeys of the finest breed. The colt show was grand and the animals on exhibit were a credit to the owners. Mr. John Davidson's brown colt won the first prize for the best colt under six months old. John Holman's colt, by McCoy's Boy, second. In the style ring Mr. Womack, of McMinnville, with his black mare received first prize. A beautiful mare, with style to spare won the race which created a deal of excitement in the trotting race. A nice purse was offered the winning horse. Mr. Henry Clark, of McMinnville, won it in two straight heats with his little gray horse. Wonder, three-year old. Mr. Womack's black mare won two by a length. Next was the fun, free for all race. Mack Blake, a veteran of two wars, who with his gray hair and old age is an artist at the post, waited a little too long to let his horse. First Monday, start his speed and Mr. John Holman won the pacing race time 3 minutes. After the race Uncle Mack drove his horse on exhibition, one-half mile in 1 minute 12 seconds. The fair closed with a jolly picnic. The first Convention of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society met in Shorter Chanel A. M. E. Church. The President, Mrs. Florence Brown, was in the chair. Rev. J. H. Smith lined hymn No. 101. Invocation by Sister Perina Kelly; Chapel; Scripture lesson by Rev. W. H. Body; communion.

MILLER, Prop., 714 Jo Johnston Ave., Nashville, Tenn, NASHVILLE NOT BIDDING. ‘There is a great deal of fuss being made now concerning where the 1910 session of the National Baptist Con- yention will beheld. There are quite a number of cities contesting for the honor of entertaining this distin- guished gathering of religious, work- ers, But it can be said for once that the capital city of the Volunteer State is not a contestant. Not that she does not consider it an honor to have within her gates representatives of one of the great religious organiza- tions, but she seems to be fishing aft- er other game and she may land it. A special tip has been given out that something else -in the way of a change is under way, and that Nash: ville is going to be the favored city. Whether this was convention of churches, annual meeting of business league, or place-for holding one o! the supreme lodges, could not be learned, but some people in upper circles, who stand high in church lodge and politics, declare that. thi is true, and that Nashville is being seriously considered.

The last city to enter the race is Houston, Texas, better known as the Magnolia City, the coming me- trepolis ef the South, a city with rail- road advantages second only to St. Louis. There are cthers entering the race, according to what is gleaned from those Baptists who are ‘ny touch with national affairs. But the five cities mentioned will no doubt make the race very interesting “r each other.

It was fifty strong, representing the fcur grand divisions of the “Lone Star State.” They were all delegates returning from the Su- vreme I odge of the International Or- der of Twelve, which has just closed its triemniat~session at “Atlanta, Ga. This organization is said to be one of the most substantial fraternal orders in the United States, with an unr usually large fcllowing. Especially have they a big membership in the states cf Georgia, Alabama, Louisi- ana, Mississippi and Texas. In the “ene Star State there are to be found some of the supreme officers. Two of them were in the delegation that spent the day in Nashville and, in fact. had charge of the special coach. They were Rev. C. W. Day, of Dallas, Chief Grand Minter, and Rey. S. 8. Reed, Chief Grand Scribe. This or- Sanization holds triennial sessions and the one just closed at Atlanta was the seventh. Many of the people are acquainted with Dr, Boyd, Dr. Isaac and others of the Texas colony now located in Tennessee. In the half- hundred that were here there were men and women from the business and professional world who took ad- Vantage of the day to see the wonder- ful deve'pment of the race in this rhe ig DR.

Chicago, Ill—At a public and pro- fessicnal full-dress rehearsal mati- nee performance given at the Pekin ‘Theatre Thursday, August 26, Messrs. Miller Lyles and Miller, comedians ond p'aywrights, made their first ap- pearance before the public as come- dy stars in a play written by them- selves, entitled “The Colored Aristo- crats," with ensemble music com- posed by Sidney L.

The play is a farce comedy in two acts, a flimsical plet which cpens in a scene outside of a hotel and closes on a boulevard at Jackson, Tenn. “Gay Southland,” which cpened up the farce, discloses a lively chorus of very young people especially pro- ficient in dancing. This number was follewed by the usual routine of frol- ic building songs and chorus situa- tions, which served as a purpose for intreducing Flournoy Miller, Aubery Lyles end Irvin Miller into the joys of utter brightness. When the trio of stars had entered as a crowd, one teo many, to be sure, there was a deafening thunder of applause, which must have proved to these three youngest of stars and playwrights in the history of the colored race, that friends galore had made good their promise to give them the swellest au- dience of the season “Goat” cheers, and a handsome send-off, Flournoy Miller and Aubery Lyles, who led the greater part of the fun, had formerly served in the cast of the Pekin stock company, playing small parts in their oown plays in Chicago, and one week in New Yerk in the cast when “The Husband” made a hit, and at once es- tablished their reputation.

The delegates and attendants to the National Baptist Convention, a large part of them, will leave Nashville Monday night. They go from the Union Station at 8:05 p. m. The Globe stated through error last week that the train would leave at 8:50 but instead it is five minutes after eight in the evening when the special Pullman car will pull out from the Union Station carrying a party to Columbus who will take advantage of the splendid accommodation provided for them, showing the people and railroad companies that they do not mind taking accommodations and paying for them whenever it is possible to get them. The party will go direct from Nashville to Cincinnati over the L. & N., from Cincinnati to Columbus over the Pennsylvania. But before leaving Nashville they will be joined by other friends among whom will be Rev. E. D. Hubbard. D. D., of Laurel, Miss; Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., and others who signify their intention of getting a ride in this car which will have a drawing-room and smoker for the men. It will be stationed at the rear of the train and will be practically an observation coach to Columbus. The beautiful portion of the "Buck-eye State" will be seen as they go over the most beautiful route in the day time which is from Covington, Ky., to Columbus, O. After reaching Columbus some of the party are expected to make side trips to Niagara Falls, Cleveland and other points. It is stated that there will be no restriction to space in this car. Any of the delegates or visitors who are going to Columbus and want to take advantage of the luxury of a Pullman sleeper will be accommodated on the train to a berth as long as there is one vacant. You might call Main 1149 and find out if the reservations on the car have all been sold. The following are expected to attend the convention in Columbus: Revs. G. K Wilson, E. M. Lawrence, C. H. Clark Louis, W. S. Ellington, Wm. Beckham, E. W. D. Isaac, B. F. Ferrell, J. C. Fields, R. H. Boyd, L. Landers Henry A. Boyd, Wm. Haynes, T. J Townsend, J. C. Harding, G. B. Taylor, J. Slaughter, I.

It is encouraging to note that the State Agricultural and Mechanical College at Normal, Ala., under its new head, President 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 or 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 purse their regular literary courses. PLEASANT OUTING Mr. and Mrs. Creig DeMoss, of 418 Fifteenth avenue, North, entertained in honor of their son, Creig, Jr., and daughter, Miss Minnie. Music was the feature of the evening.

Brooks, Messrs. John H. Thomson, L. Winns, C. Bell, A. Roberts, C. Pointer and many others. At a late hour cream was served. INDIAN SQUAW DRILL. The Indian Squaw drill given by the girls of North Nashville at New Hope Baptist Church under the management of Mrs. Lottie Herrod, assisted by Mrs. Sarah Page and Mrs. Gray, was a grand success.

PENNIMAN, OF BOSTON, Visiting Nahville last week coming through from the session of the Business League was Mr. George W. Penniman, who is the Secretary of Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, Chairman of the International Sunday-School Committee. Mr. Penniman, according to statements made in the city, came to Nashville in the interest of a book which Mr. Hartshorn is getting out that is supposed to contain the latest and best information on the development of the Negro in business and religion and will not be a political effort. Mr. Hartshorn has been at work on this book for more than a year. It will be remembered that Mr. Hartshorn and Mr. Penniman were the central figures in the Clifton Conference held just out of Boston in August of 1908. Mr. Penniman was here in conference with Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Publishing Board, and spent an entire day getting facts and statistics, together with some views of the prominent places of Nashville, among which were the two banks, the publishing houses, Greenwood Cemetery and Park. Mrs. Emma Phillips, who has been visiting her niece, Mrs. Kathryn Wilson of Ninth avenue, North, returned to her home in St. Louis last Sunday night. Mrs. Mary Work Long entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of her uncle, Mr. W. C. Gordon, of St. Louis. The table was beautifully decorated with silver presented by her uncle as a wedding gift. The china, linen and glassware used were also wedding presents. A delicious three-course menu was served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Long, Mr. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Fillow, Mrs. J. Westley Acklen, Mr. Thos. E. Work and Arthur Brown. Little Althea Moffett, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. F. S. Moffett, of Walden University, died at the residence, 77 Maple street, at half-past six o'clock Monday morning, September 6. The parents have taken the remains to Piqua, Ohio, where the funeral services and burial occurred on Thursday, September 9. The sincere sympathy of many Nashville friends will go with the bereaved parents. ENJOYABLE EVENING. Quite an enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Miss Pauline Harding, 832 Vernon street, August 31. Games were the features of the evening. At a late hour ice were served by little Miss Althea Harding. Those present were Messrs.

The guests list included Misses Georgia Nevells, of Memphis, Tenn., Clara M. Hightower and Alice White, Messrs. Haddey and Jesse Fite and W. T. High tower, Jr. LOCALETTES.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1909. LABOR DAY. Monday of this week was a great day all over this country. The millions of men and women who toil day after day laid aside their tools and turned their attention to pleasure and rest. We have many holidays in this country, both National and State, but there is no occasion on which all the people can so harmoniously agree as they can on the celebration that took place the first of this week. All honorable men and women work. The institution of labor is as old as time. Those who have no regular pursuit soon become a menace in a community. Their presence is always annoying, and the sooner they leave the better pleased are those among whom they were. The man who toils the live-long day receives the good will of his neighbors and the smile of his family when he returns home; but he who skulks around and lives without working receives the frown of his neighbors and the damnation of his family. But happily the large majority of the people in this country work eight and ten hours each day in the year. The celebration of Labor Day is usually looked upon as a celebration for those who are wage earners—the men and women who make up that great army of consumers. The man who owns the mill is not counted in. He is classed as a man of leisure, and he looks upon himself as such in many instances. He knows that he cannot sleep at night, that his appetite is poor and his physique weak, but for all that he scorns the idea of being called a laborer. He is the boss man—the employer; this celebration is for the fellow who works for wages. To this kind of thinking may be attributed many of the misunderstandings we have in this country. At Greenwood Park Monday there was assembled a large army of people who are a great asset to the laboring force of the South. The happy, hard-working, courageous Negro, who never tires nor grumbles. He goes to the frolic, but he goes alone. He does not say others shall not work. Every day is bright to him. He is contented with his lot. He has only in the last few years learned to celebrate Labor Day, but he is taking to the idea lavishly, and as he learns to honor this day he will learn to dignify that for which it stands. Ball players come and go, but Harry Hyde remains the same. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1909 STORY OF THE NEGRO. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in The Outlook of September 4th gives an interesting account of the African in his native land in the first of a series of six articles on "The Story of the Negro." He touches on the American Negro sufficiently to suggest that in the articles to follow facts will be produced that will enlighten the world on the real condition of the Negroes in 'the United States. Mr. Washington has great faith in the Negro. He says the following about the mechanical skill of the natives of West Africa: The blacksmith seems to occupy a very important place in the social life of Africa. Travelers have found these smiths at work in the most remote and inaccessible parts of the continent, where they may be seen collecting the native iron and copper ores, smelting and reducing them, and then working them in their primitive forges into hoes, knives, spear and arrow heads, battle-axes, wood-working tools, rings and hatchets. Throughout West Africa, wherever the European has not established his trading factory, the native market is an institution which is a constant source of surprise to travelers. These markets are the native clearing-houses for the produce of the soil and the fabricated articles of the land. They are generally the center of the trading operations of a district ranging from ten to thirty miles. Here will be seen vegetables and fruit, poultry, eggs, live pigs, goats, salt of their manufacture, pottery of their own make, strips of cloth, grass-woven mats, baskets, and specimens of embroidery and art work, besides numberless other articles of various sorts and kinds which are essential to African comfort and well-being. From the small group of native merchants who travel with their wares within a radius of thirty or fifty miles, to the large caravans of the Hausa traders who cross the Desert of Sahara, and at times reach the eastern and western confines of the continent, everywhere in Africa the black man is a trader. In discussing the conditions in the South he says: It is just as true in America as it is in Africa that those who know the Negro intimately and best have been, as a rule, kindest and most hopeful in their judgments of him. This may seem strange to those who get their notion of the Southern white man's opinion of the Negro from what they see in the press and hear from the platform, during the heat of a political campaign, or from the utterances of men who, for one reason or another, have allowed thmselves to become embittered. Southern opinion of the Negro, particularly as it finds expression in the press and on the platform, is largely controversial. It has been influenced by the fact that for nearly a hundred years the Negro has been the football in a bitter political contest, and there are a good many Southern politicians who have acquired the habit of berating him. The Negro in the South has had very little part in this controversy, either before or since the war, but he has had a chance to hear it all, and it has often seemed to me, if, after all that has taken place, the Negro is still able to discuss his situation calmly, the white man should be able to do so also. But that is another matter. Nineteen times out of twenty, I suppose, a stranger coming South who inquires concerning the Negro from people he meets on the train or on the highways will get from these men pretty nearly the same opinion he has read in the newspapers or heard in political speeches. These criticisms of the Negro have been repeated so often that people have come to accept and repeat them again without reflection. The thing that shows this to be true is that the very men who denounced all Negroes will very likely before the conversation is ended tell of one, and perhaps half a dozen, individual Negroes in whom they have the greatest confidence. A Southern white man may tell you, with the utmost positiveness, that he never knew a single Negro who would not steal—except one. Every white man knows one Negro who is all right—a model of honesty, industry, and thrift—and, if he tries to remember, he will think of other Negroes in whom he has the greatest confidence and for whom he has a very genuine respect. Considering that there are a good many more white people in the South than there are Negroes, it seems to follow, logically, that in spite of what one hears about the Negro in general, there are a good many individual Negroes who are pretty well thought of by their white neighbors. It is, well to take into consideration, also, that when Southern people express their confidence and their respect for an individual black man, they are speaking of one whom they know; on the contrary, when they denounce in general terms the weakness and the failure of the Negro race, they have in mind a large number of whom they know a great deal less. I do not mean to suggest that there is no justification for the criticism of the Negro that one often hears in the South. I have never thought or said that the Negro in America was all that he should be. It does seem to me, however, that the Negro in the United States has done, on the whole, as well as he was able, and as well as, under all the circumstances, could be reasonably expected. Mr. Washington has made a careful study of the Negroes in this and other countries. He is always conservative and at the same time hopeful. His concluding articles which will appear in the next five ocnsecutive issues of The Outlook will be well worth reading. SCHOOL TIME Vacation is over. On Monday morning thousands of boys and girls will be up bright and early getting together books and satchel. They start on another year's building. To the children of tender years it is merely a change of scene. They will be in company with hundreds of other little boys and girls to play and have a pleasant time. Of course the scholars in the advanced grades take the beginning of a school year a little more seriously, but to the parents and teachers it is a great time. Parents have been preparing for the children to enter. Teachers have been preparing to receive them. We are speaking now of the thoughtful parent and the earnest teacher. There are some parents who send their children to school to rid themselves of the care of them, and too there are some teachers who are teaching solely for the salary paid. Such parents need not expect their children to make much headway, and the teachers who are only interested in the pay they are to receive are not teachers in the true sense of the word. But parents who are interested in their children will feel it their duty to join the school-teacher in the effort to educate them. They will see to it that their children are present and on time every day in the year so far as in their power lies. COOK AND PEARY. It is a striking incident that Dr. Cook and Capt. Peary should announce to the world at so near the same time that they had discovered the North Pole, and furthermore so since they are both Americans. It is not singular however that Dr. Cook was so much longer than Capt. Peary returning to civilization. The mode of travel was different. Dr. Cook adapted himself to the modes and customs of the people inhabiting the most northernly settlements, while Capt. Peary equipped himself with the speediest outfit that could be utilized in that portion of the world. We fail to see wherein the success of one should detract from that of the other. Dr. Cook is a man of unquestionable integrity, and the same is true of Capt. Peary. They both claim to have left a sign at the Pole, but no land being there nothing could be expected to remain stationary any length of time. We are rather inclined toward the broadness of Dr. Cook who is reported to have said that "There is room enough at the Pole for two men." PROMISES AND PIE CRUST There is an old saying that "Promises like pie crusts, are easily broken." If there are any people in the world who ought to have sufficient experience in broken promises the American Negroes are without contradiction that people. If the promises that have been made to them since the Civil War should be fulfilled to-day there would not be a single Negro pauper in the United States. But those promises have not been kept, and the Negro has grown to look upon all promises with suspicion. It is the rule when candidates are running for political offices to promise to do this or that for the people, and then to make a special promise to MEHARRY COLLEGES OF WALDEN UNIVERSITY. Meharry Medical College opens September 15th. Meharry Pharmaceutical College begins September 22nd. Meharry Dental College opens September 29th. FOR CATALOGUES OR OTHER INFORMATION, ADDRESS G. W. HUBBARD, M. D., Dean, MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. the Negro voters. That used to be a good trap to catch the black vote, but in these days of independent thinking it profits the candidate nothing to make special promises to Negroes. They rather prefer the man who makes his campaign on the issues under consideration, and who leaves it to them to decide which candidate is best qualified or whose reasoning is the most logical. NEGRO AT THE POLE. An interesting feature of the Peary expedition is that Matt Henson, Peary's Negro body servant, has been with Peary more than twenty years on all his most important expeditions, and on April 21, 1906, he stood beside Peary in latitude 87 degrees and 6 minutes, then the farthest north. If he lives he has been at the Pole with his commander, the first man of his race. The above appeared in the Nashville American of September 7, and shows that the Negro is a part and parcel of this government. The contention that the African cannot endure cold cannot be applied to this Son of Ham. When you are riding on excursions remember that the warm season will soon be at an end. Don't blame your neighbor if your coal bin is empty. The right to vote is guaranteed every male citizen in Tennessee for the sum of $2.00. Pay your own Poll Tax and vote as you think. . ____ Tennessee Republicans met, but there was no sign of the white flag. The Brownlow wing refused to be comforted. Tennessee Negroes will hold a State Fair in Nashville this month. See to it that you do your part to make it a success. Rent is the hardest word in the book for Nashville Negroes to spell. They invariably use the letters bu-y and back them up. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. The Bee has been informed that it is the purpose of the authorities of Howard University to appoint a white woman matron over Negro girls. It seems to The Bee that there are enough broken down white and so-called educated white teachers appointed at this Negro institution. The country is watching with interest, the attitude of the University toward Prof. W. J. DeCater. The Bee is of the opinion that no white man should be placed over him, when it is clearly demonstrated that Professor DeCater is more than competent for the job and should be appointed head of the science department. The Bee understands that a white man has been given charge of the field on the hill to keep clear. Just where the Negro laborer comes in The Bee will ask Congress at its next session. Some one is endeavoring to place the Negro in the back ground, or make him subordinate to inferior white help in a Negro institution. Ought not Congress adjust the salaries of the teachers at this institution? If reports are true, there is something wrong at this institution. The Bee FORSALE COTTAGES ON Horton Street..... $650 So.

The country will not tolerate a white matron over Negro girls, and neither will it tolerate apparent discriminations at Howard University. The Bee gives this warning to the Negro trustees, and advises them not to cater or curry favor with those in authority. The race demands a clean bill of lading for this Negro institution.

ZOO AT GREENWOOD Few people realize the rapid development of Nashville as a pleasure resort. The various parks and places of amusement are being improved almost daily. New parks are being opened, and new amusement places being established. One of the most popular resorts in the city is Greenwood Park, which is a fact well known throughout the state of Tennessee. This park is being rapidly put into shape for the coming second annual Negro Fair. Aside from improving the grand stand, building a trotting course, putting in new features, a zoological garden has been added to the park. This has been done through the philanthropic effort of Preston Taylor. Real live animals of rare specimens are there for the home folks, strangers, and especially to the delight of the children. Some of the animals to arrive recently were some Texas wolves, white rats, cpossums, coons, and the latest addition, which came Monday, was a large-sized white-faced monkey. Rev. Taylor stated this week that he was trying very hard to have the Zoo as up-to-date as the other features. Hundreds of children will now find pleasure in visiting the park and especially the zoological garden. PASSES THE OKLAHOMA BOARD. A. L. Sanders, M.
