THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. MAKES SPLENDID REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR. National Baptist Convention Awestricken. GREAT STRIDES MADE BY THE PUBLISHING CONCERN LOCATED IN THIS CITY-FIRST REPORT RENDERED TWELVE YEARS AGO AMOUNTED TO FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS-THAT AT COLUMBUS NEARLY SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS LARGEST PRINTING HOUSE IN THIS COUNTRY OWNED AND OPERATED BY NEGROES. Columbus, O., September 16. Emerging from obscurity, coming on the scene like a sky-rocket, is the characteristic way in which the Secretary, Treasurer and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in the city of Nashville, Tenn., came before the Negro Baptist of this country. Dr. Boyd made his report to this body in its twenty-ninth annual session in Columbus last week. The report was read in the presence of an immense audience which completely filled the Columbus Auditorium. It was the greatest report ever offered to the convention by this Board notwithstanding the splendid reception given the report each year beginning with the first, which was made at Boston, Mass., 1897, when the convention went wild with enthusiasm after the Secretary had labored for twelve months and brought in a report showing that a Negro Baptist Publishing Concern existed and that they had given, for the first time, Negro Baptist literature of their own production. Both brain and brawn. The demonstration in Columbus was almost a repetition of those scenes. The reports vary only in point of magnitude. The first was concise and explicit, this one is filled from beginning to end with facts that stand out in bold relief of the splendid work being accomplished in Nashville, Tenn., under the management of a Board of which Dr. Boyd is Secretary. There are many important facts in this booklet of forty-odd pages compiled and printed for the information of the family of Baptists numbering, according to their statistician's report, about two and a half million. It shows that the Negro Baptists not only lead in number and quality of publications, but that they are pioneers in printing, book binding, manufacturing and authorship of new religious literature. The report shows that they lead in the machinery line. The Baptists are not the first, however, to own a plant, as they came into the arena of publishing houses last, but under wise and judicious management. As shown by each year's report, they have gradually forged to the front, until to-day it is admitted that they are superior in every respect. Such machinery as is described and reported before the body to-day cannot be found in another plant in the known world owned SCOTT'S ALL-SIZE ROTARY BOOK PRESS. The All-Size Scott Rotary Book Press that will be installed in the National Baptist Publishing House in October. This is the first press of its kind sold south of the Ohio River. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1909. WALTER SMITH & CO. NEW YORK, N.Y. and operated by Negroes. During the past twelve months, reports Dr. Boyd, two machines, viz., the latest improved folder with an all-size Scott's Rotary Book Press, were among the additions made, which alone bring last year's improvements in the way of machinery up to more than $25,000.00, while a corresponding amount was added to real estate and buildings. It would be impossible to detail the report in full. A glance at the figures will show what has been accomplished and what is being accomplished by a denomination whose representatives are here in the capital city of Ohio to hear reports and election of officers to continue the wise management of the business and executive departments of their denominational work. The secretary reports an astonishing increase in the publication of periodicals and Sunday-school helps. His circulations, according to this report, have reached the tremendous figure of twelve million copies annually, which according to the secretary's statement, does not include more than a dozen various song books. The receipts for the past fiscal year climbed up in the neighborhood of $165,000.00, all of which will be received by the great family of Missionary Baptists as an evidence of their future success with the concern that seems to be a monument already. The secretary, touched on many other points. He showed the establishment of the Teacher-Training Service and the selection of a superintendent to give his entire time to the work, another feature that will give the Publishing House in Nashville, together with its Board, a greater name and place it in a larger sphere of usefulness. The report pays a flattering compliment to the work accomplished by the Sunday-School Congress, which is also the result of Dr. Boyd's foresight and business tact, with his ever determining will to do something for his people and the denomination. He reports that four years have convinced the leaders of the denomination that the Sunday-School Congress is a necessity and that it is already filling a long-felt want. In closing his report he paid a high tribute to the union and harmony prevailing throughout his Board in its management, and the good accomplished by the working together of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards, as he is the Secretary of both. MRS. BAPNES ENTERTAINED. Mrs. Nora Barnes, of Pittsburg, Pa., formerly of this city, was the guest of her uncle; Mr. George Barnes. A six-o'clock dinner with all the delicacies of the season was served. Mrs. Barnes, was undered another reception on last Thursday evening by Mrs. John H. Liggins, and on the following morning left for her home. SPECIAL BAPTIST TRAIN. Five state delegations passed through Nashville Tuesday morning en route to their several homes from the National Baptist Convention. These delegations came on special trains which were run all the way from Cincinnati through to Mobile and New Orleans. The states were Texas with her sleeping car; Florida, with a reolining chair car; Louisiana, with a sleeper; and Alabama and Tennessee with standard sleepers. These five states furnished a car each with a baggage coach constituting a special Baptist train which was one out of the five that left Columbus having come on special trains to the twenty-ninth annual session of the National Baptist Convention. The Nashville party arrived with its special train and reports having had a successful meeting and pleasant trip. Want Semi-Gentennial Held in Nashville. NO MORE CENTRAL LOCATION COULD BE SELECTED THE HUB OF THE SOUTH KNOWS HOW TO ENTERTAIN MANY HISTORICAL SCENES TO VISIT IN AND ABOUT THIS CITY BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL LEAGUESWOULD HOLD MEETINGS HERE-NEGROES COULD GATHER FROM EVERY POINT AT REASONABLE EXPENSE. MUCH TALK INDULGED IN Just what action the Negroes of the United States are going to take concerning celebrating the Semi-Centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, recently endorsed by the National Business League which just closed its session at Louisville, and which seems to have met the approval of many business men throughout the country, is deeply interesting the citizens of Nashville for many reasons. The probability of this city making an effort to capture the celebration seems bright. The invitation will ask that the celebration be held in connection with the annual Business League and other annual gatherings, such as grand lodges, grand camps, national associations and conventions, which will make it a stupendous affair, one that would equal in notoriety and size the Centennial recently held in this city, and be looked upon as the greatest effort ever put forth by the Negroes of the United States. It would, no doubt, encourage the suspension of the celebration for some of the odd and various dates usually observed by many states in the commemorating their Emancipation, for instance, some of the states, viz., Texas and Arkansas celebrate June 19th, other states celebrate some date in February, while Tennessee usually observes January 1st, and sometimes August 8th. The proposal to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Negro's emancipation is looked upon by Tennessee as an opportune time to unite the Negroes on one day for observing Abraham Lincoln's famous Proclamation. To take advantage of this occasion and show the rapid strides the Negroes have made in fifty years. The city of Nashville offers itself as a mutual compromise so far as location is concerned. Line-tenths of the entire population of the Negroes of the United States are within easy reach of Nashville, hence they could meet, as it were, in middle territory. Another advantage that is offered in presenting the name of Nashville for this semi-centennial is that practically all of the religious bodies would agree to come to Nashville, to hold special meetings. Three great religious denominations look toward Tennessee as their headquarters, and if sufficient pressure was brought to bear and the matter came to a show-down for casting about for a place, Nashville would win and undoubtedly, would be selected as the city, as it offers the best advantages. There are also re- SUBSCRIBERS AND CORRESPONDENTS TAKE NOTICE. There are several communities in the State in which there is some one who is kind enough to send us the news each week. We thank them for this kindness. But has it ever occurred to you that it is just as easy to get subscriptions as it is to get news? Well, if you have not thought along that line we beg your attention for a minute. We want the news from every community each week, but we will not need it unless there are people in that community who are de irious of reading the news that tells what they are doing. We know that when people have news put in the paper about themselves they want to read it after it is put in the paper, and they would rather pay their money to the reporter than any one else, because they know he is the one who will look after the news about them. We must have an agent in every city, town and community in this State. To accomplish this we have decided that every correspondent must be an agent. So hereafter each one sending news must also send subscribers for the Globe. We have the names of a number of persons whose subscriptions will soon expire. Any one desiring to become an agent and correspondent, write us at once and we will send you a list to work by. All delinquent subscribers are being dropped from our list, which makes it a very opportune time to begin. Write at once to the NASHVILLE GLOBE, Nashville, Tenn. cords and happenings in Tennessee, which, if revived, an exhibition such as could not be surpassed would be produced, and the Tennessee people, who are scattered to the four corners of the globe, could be relied upon to come this way and throw their great influence in this direction. It is believed that North and South Carolina and Virginia, knowing that they are too far removed from a central location, would be willing to cast their influence toward the selection of Nashville. The matter is being quietly, but effectively, agitated in this city, and is likely to take on larger proportions in the way of state effectiveness, cre the opening of the year 1910. LOST HORSE. Rev. J. Kiel, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, East Nashville, lost his fine family horse, Nellie, last Sunday night. She took suddenly sick while Rev. Kiel was conducting the morning service, and died that night. Little Fleetwood Petway, Jr., the grandson of Rev. Kiel, took her death very hard. It was a shock not only to the family, but to the whole church. Rev. Kiel is not only pastor, but author, maker and builder of Zion Baptist Church, having pastored here more than twenty years, and Nellie has been in his service ever since he has been here. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. "Ruth Gleaning in the Field of Boaz." will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning. Echoes from the "Great Convention" will also be a feature of the morning service. No. 38. Opened Tuesday Under Auspicious Conditions. EAGER THRONG TRAVERSE THE GROUNDS AND INSPECT EXHIBITS—SOME OF THE FINEST HORSES IN THE SOUTH SHOWN SECRETARY OF WAR DICKINSON AND GEN. FRED GRANT, WITH SOME OF THE STATE FAIR OFFICIALS, VISIT COLORED FAIR WEDNESDAY MORNING—MR. DICKINSON AND GEN. GRANT MAKE SHORT TALKS WOMAN'S BUILDING. Braving a threatening sky and the terrific wind which swept over Greenwood Park a representative gathering of colored people assembled in the grandstand Tuesday and listened with much interest to the several addresses which were delivered incident to the opening of the fair. General Manager Taylor, to whom more than any other individual is due the great success of this year's fair, was paid a high tribute by a number of the speakers, who said this undertaking should receive the encouragement of every member of the race, and that the Tennessee Colored Fair Association was doing much, not only for the uplift and education of the Negro, but was materially assisting in the development of the state. Several premiums were awarded during the afternoon in both the industrial and livestock departments, and to-day the judging and racing cards will continue in earnest. Some of the exhibits which attracted much attention were those of the National Baptist Publishing House, Mercy Hospital, W. T. Hightower & Son, Walden University, One Cent Savings Bank, Joe Browne, florist; and last but by no means least, the Women's Department, where may be found every conceivable article of use and value to the home. The Women's department is a great feature and is, indeed, highly interesting. In the stables may be found some of the best stock in the state; horses, ponies, mules and pack stock; while in the cattle line some of the finest breed also may be seen. Altogether, the stock and cattle, both in quality and in numbers represents in a marked way the worth of the Negro, industrially. J. Frank Battle, who is an undisputed judge of horseflesh, is ringmaster of the fair and states that the programme for the week, which is an elaborate one, will be carried out on schedule time and to the letter. Live stock exhibitions in Department A—dairy cattle—and Section 1—Tennessee Jerseys—promises to be one of the liveliest competitions during the entire week. Department H—Agricultural Exhibits. In the farm and garden exhibits some of Tennessee's best production of corn in ear, wheat, oats, barley, rye, sorghum, broom corn, millet, hay in bundles, field peas, seeds, cotton, etc., is on display and is very creditable. Department I—Tobacco, W. T. Hightower, Superintendent. Consists of both the dark and burley and the largest and most artistically arranged tobacco exhibitor by individual grower will be handsomely repaid for his trouble, as will be seen from the premium list. A tobacco sample for exhibit must consist of ten hands of six leaves each. Department K—Woman's Work. Mrs. Preston R. Burrus, President. Is indeed representative of the handiwork of Tennessee colored women and the articles entered for exhibit are many and varied. Department M—Horse Show. Commences each night at 8 o'clock and promises to be one of the interesting features of the entire meeting during the week. C. N. Langston and J. Frank Battle are superintendents of this department and the classes embrace light harness, most stylish sin- TURNER NORMAL COLLEGE The formal opening of Turner Normal College took place Tuesday morning under the most auspicious conditions The enrollment excelled anything ever known in the history of the institution. It doubled that of last year on the opening day, so far as the boarding department is concerned. Prominent among the speakers were Revs. H. L. P. Jones, G. R. Norman, F. W. Gardner, Dr. J. S. Blas, Rev Underwood and Rev. Cruikshank, of the C. P. Church. Music was furnished by the students. So inspiring were the eloquent words of Dr. Bias, and so soul-stirring, that the students were moved to sing their college rally, "The Turner's Banner Never Touched the Ground." Miss Madge Boddie presided at the instrument during the singing of the song. The school never appeared to be in a higher state of prosperity than at present. Students are arriving almost daily, and the president states that he doubts that he will be able to accommodate any more under the present arrangements after the close of the first month. He is now making ready for other provisions for both boys and girls. More different towns are represented in the student body even at this time than ever before during the entire session. Two are here from the State of Alabama, and others are coming. Chattanooga is already well represented and several others from that city are expected next week. Misses McKay and Flagg are already favorites among the students. Several music scholars have already enrolled. East Tennessee, as usual, is well represented. Several are here from Nashville; and Maury County has broken its well-established, good record in the way of providing students. Among the last arrivals is Miss Ocle W. Jordan, of Mt. Pleasant, the great T. N. C. favorite. Challenges for the first foot-ball game have already reached the manager of the team. Among the latest arrivals on the campus is a fine jersey cow and calf owned by the college. Adjoining the corn field may be seen a pen of six fat hogs getting themselves in readiness for "hog-killing time." Hence the students are now enjoying good jersey milk and butter, and are anticipating a great time of helping themselves in due season to Turner back bones and chittins. The flower gardens round the dormitory, the delightful park in front of the building, and the lovely green campus outstretching on every side make Turner Normal appear a "thing of beauty." JAMES-STEWART. A wedding that attracted much attention was that of Rev. Arthur Leonard James to Miss Caroline N. Stewart in Springfield, Mass., on Wednesday, September 15th. The bride is the sister of Mrs. Helen Louise Jackson, while the groom is a prominent divine of Jacksonville, Florida. The announcement states that they are at home after October 1, 1341 Church street, East, Jacksonville Florida. MRS. H. A. CAMERON ENTER TAINS. Mrs. Cameron entertained a few evenings ago, complimentary to Mesdames Lula Johnson, of Knoxville, E. O. Smith, of Houston, Tex. and A. E. C. McNeal, of Key West, Fla. All the honorees are former Nashvillians and a few old friends were invited to meet them. Many pleasant reminiscences of the past were retold, after which all engaged in a very interesting game of whist. The booby was won by Mrs. Johnson on a cut. The first prize was won by Mrs. Price, who presented it to Mrs. Smith a very dainty collar. A very refreshing course of ices and cake was served on the card tables.

There is much gossip on the street and in the Baptist circles of this city concerning the action of their convention, which held its annual session in Columbus last week. It is stated by the brethren, who returned Tuesday morning in the special Pullman car, that two resolutions passed the convention effecting the future management, editorship and control of the National Baptist Union. One of these resolutions, it is stated, passed the convention Saturday and as reported provides for the election of Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, of this city, Chairman of the B. Y. P. U. Board, as Editor to succeed himself, which however, was not a change. It also provides for the moving of the business management out of the hands of Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is the Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, to Rev. A. J. Stokes, of Montgomery, Ala, who will put up sufficient cash to get out the paper. Another rumor has it that a resolution passed the convention Monday providing for a representative from each state to make up a Board of Management which will possibly financier the getting out of the Union. None of this could be confirmed in detail, but as a whole it was stated that two resolutions did pass. Dr. Isaac was not in the city Tuesday, so nothing definite could be learned. Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe reporter that heretofore, as business manager of the Union, he had been responsible for all the expenses incurred in the getting out of the paper, such as composition, postage, paper, etc., and that he was sure his Board would not regret the action of the convention, as the convention was supreme. When asked what his Board would do about it, he said that he did not know, and that he supposed the convention knew best. The National Baptist Union is known to have been one of the largest and strongest papers published by the race and has been published jointly by the B. Y. P. U. Board and the National Baptist Publishing Board for a number of years in this city. MARRIAGES. Ed Neal and Ella Cowan. Jake Short and Sarah Watkins. Ned Burnett and Emma Buchanan.

E. Church recently held at Capers Chapel under the management of the presiding elder Rev. H. J. Johnson was a perfect success. This was the first time in the history of the church that a successful convention was held apart from itself not only in the Nashville district, but it is said, it was the first time such a convention was held in the church throughout the entire connection The ministers, doctors, lawyers and professors of the city too a prominent part in the discussion of many important subjects. Rev. H. J. Johnson is due much credit for the success of this convention. He was materially assisted by Rev. E. F. B. Amos, the pastor of Capers Chapel, Mrs. Sallie A. Sawyers and others. We feel that the convention has been a great help to Nashville, especially among the young people. With such gatherings as this the young people of our race will soon be aroused to their Christian sense of duty. CORNER-STONE LAYING. Kirjathjearim Lodge No. 104 A. F. and A. M. laid corner-stone for Salem Street Temple echurch of at 2 p. m. A special sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. H. E. Slay. About six hundred people were present to witness the services. Collection was raised immediately after services by W. T. Hightower and M. V. Buford. An old-time basket dinner was served at 4:30 p. m. in including a barrel of lemonade and good cool sulphur water. Seemingly everybody present deposited something in the corner-stone. The following officers were present: Prof. W. S. Thompson, Grand Master; Chas. Hendley, Deputy Grand Master; W. M. McEwin, Grand Archie; W. T. Hightower, Grand S. W.; H. Bradley, Grand J. W.; E. Hendley, Grand Treasurer; John Chears, Grand Secretary; Wm. Steele, Grand Chaplain; Wm. Stegal, Grand S. D.; M. V. Buford, Grand J. D.; Charley Maxwell, Grand S. S.; Thomas Ward, Grand J. S.; L. H. Rogan, Grand Tiler and Marshal of the day. VISITS THE STATE FAIR. Mr. P. J. Crenshaw, a prosperous business man of Athens, Ala., is a visitor at the great State Fair being held at Greenwood Park. Mr. Crenshaw is intensely interested in such enterprises. Having had extensive experience along that line in the widely known State Fair of his own state which is annually held at Huntsville, Ala., he was chosen as one of the judges of the driving and riding events of Wednesday evening. He thinks that much has been done by the management to make the Fair a success and a credit to the colored citizens of the state. PROF. MOORE DECLINES JOB. PROF. MOORE DECLINES JOB. Prof. Charles H. Moore, formerly of the Colored A. & M. College, this city, received a telegram yesterday afternoon, asking him if he would accept the principalship of Broad Street Academy, Mobile, Ala., at $90 a month, with probability of increase in salary. The person holding the position is practically superintendent of all the Negro schools in the city. While thankking the school authorities who tendered him the place, Prof. Moore declined to accept it, as he prefers to remain in the workk in which he has been so successfully engaged during the past year, namely, the national organizer of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, is the founder and president. The above is from the Daily Record, of Greensboro, N. C., and will no doubt be of interest to the host of friends of Prof. Moore. AZALIA ART CLUB. The Azalia Art Club was entertained Monday evening, September 20, at the residence of Mrs. Mollie Snowden, of Eighth street. Those present to enjoy the occasion were Mesdames Ranson, Holman, Crocket, Watson Boyd, Cynthia Boyd, Ridley, West Epperson, Misses Morgan, Woods, Bender and Smith. The club was served a three-course menu. STORM PARTY. On last Wednesday night while engaged Rev. Brown was in his study he was suddenly aroused by a great wind, after which followed a great storm, the work of which I greatly enjoyed. This storm was caused by the members of the Sylvan street Baptist Church who where they had gathered upon my porch began to sing that beautiful hymn, "Stand the Storm," upon hearing this my door was opened and it was then that the work of the storm was done. Many nice things to eat were brought. Mr. Bailey Turner made a few pleasant remarks. My wife joins me in thankfulness to those dear ones who showed to me that their thoughts were of one who has endeavored to guide them as a shepherd does his flock. Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1909. The one thing most needful among the people of the State of Tennessee is unity. It is noticeable on every hand that we fail to make the progress we are capable of making because we fail to agree in minor things. It is a great hindrance to our advancement. Tennessee is a great state. Her resources are the equal of any in our country. Her sons are able to stand shoulder to shoulder individually with the foremost men in the world, but when the occasion demands that every man and woman in the commonwealth speak and act as a unit they are woefully weak. It is high time that they should overcome this defect. The United States of America is running ahead of other countries of the world in the achievement of great things. She has been able to do this because every citizen honors the flag. There has never truer blood coursed through men's veins than that of the American citizen. We therefore have a great country. We are setting the pace for the world. But the country that essays to lead the world in progress will have to keep up a rapid gate. To do this every state will have to fill her place in the ranks. No state can do her full duty unless the people are working in harmony. Every Negro in Tennessee should give this matter serious consideration. They should hastily come to a realization of the fact that they should render their portion toward the development of this state, and that they can only do it effectively by unity of action in everything that pertains to the general uplift of the people. POLITICAL HORIZON. The Negroes of this city, the State of Tennessee and the United States would do well to keep their eyes on the political horizon. There are many signs that it would be profitable for them to read and study. The time to prepare for war is when peace reigns, for when the battle starts it is a matter of the fittest coming out on top. He who waits until the first gun is fired in a battle to begin his preparations for that battle is liable to get trampled under foot. We urged the Negro voters of Tennessee when the registration booths were open to make the necessary preparation to qualify as voters. We hope many more took advantage of the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1909. last opportunity than of the first. Those who did not are of course not counted in the contest. The local political situation is waxing warmer every hour. In a few weeks the city election will be held, and those men who have failed to register and pay their poll tax will have no part in electing the officials. Some may have cause to regret their negligence, but it will be their own fault. The State forces are formulating plans, and while it is true that all parties shut the Negro out in the preliminaries he is not yet debarred from exercising his right in the regular election. He should, therefore, make the very best of the situation as it stands. In national circles the eyes of the country are centered upon President Taft. Every word he utters is being weighed by the people. This is the time to study the situation. It is clear from the stand taken by Congressmen and Senators in Congress on the tariff question that protection is no longer a republican doctrine, but a doctrine that is preached as conditions suit the case. Republicans want protection on things that their constituents want protected, and Democrats want their constituents protected in a like manner. A great change has taken place in our national political affairs and the Negroes will have to study the new changes as they appear on the horizon to be able to vote intelligently. The Yankees have a new trick that they are working on the South. When they want to start a new magazine they find the meanest white man they can and employ him to write on the Negro problem. When a careful search was made in the North Pole controversy, it was found that the Negro was in the pile, but it was a snow pile instead of a pile of wood. Nashville is the mecca for the people of the state this week. Two Fairs at the same time make every thing look lively but the street car conductor. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. The leading journals of the country more or less favor the French proposition to create a Negro army, drawing on Uncle Sam for a good portion of the same. A good thing for the Negro but better still for France.—The Oklahoma Tribune. All hall, Bwhana Tumbo! That he is both wise and strenuous no man will doubt when he reads of his charging the Caucasians in Africa to their teeth to remember that their ultimate self-interest demands that they treat the natives not unjustly. But the colonel is a little inaccurate, for with the natives in a preponderance of twenty to one, the self-interest in just treatment is immediate, not ultimate.—New York Age. The contest now being waged between Explorer Frederick A. Cook and his friends on the one hand and Explorer Robert E. Peary on the other hand is interesting to say the least. From the descriptions published by both, it would seem that they agree as to the conditions existing at the North Pole. So far as we are concerned, we do not see that any material good can come from the controversy. We notice that the seasons are chaning and that winters here are not as severe as they once were. This change is no doubt responsible for the ability of either or both of the explorers to reach the North Pole.—Richmond Planet. Get busy. This is no time for foolishness. See that your name is on the registration books and then go and hunt up your neighbor and see to it that he goes and does the same thing. Every vote is needed. Wives see to it that your husbands and sons do their duty. It is to your interest to do so. You have much at stake. You may not be able to vote yourself, but you can see, to it that your husbands and sons do. Afro-American Ledger. Peary, discovered the pole in May. 1909. In less than three months he returned far enough to flash the news over the world that he had discovered the pole. If Peary had made the same time going to the pole as he made coming away from the pole, no doubt he would have met Dr. Cook at the north pole. It was not Dr. Cook that nailed the stars and stripes to the north pole, but his little hatchet.—Oklahoma Trib- une. And now the Southern corn "pone" and "johnny cake" are in danger. A story comes up from Durham, N. C., that there are some serious cases of pellegra under treatment in that district. Pellegra is a disease of the skin somewhat resembling leprosy. Its appearance has caused many families to give up the use of cornmeal as food, it being held that the disease finds its causation in maize.—Terre Haute Times. The Board of Township School Fund Trustees and the Board of Supervisors of Bolivar County are deserving of every commendation on the part of the people of Mound Bayou for the four hundred, ($400) dollars appropriation made for the renovation and repair of the public school building in this town. Surely this munificence came to us in the very nick of time, for it is inconceivable that an institution could have stood more solely in need of just such assistance. The work of improvement is now going forward, and Mrs. Bryant is to be congratulated on the outlook for infinitely more comfortable quarters for the work of the coming school year.—The Demonstrator. Some weeks ago we spoke of the necessity of intelligent citizenship. At the recent Registration many who stood around saw some very funny things and heard some very funny stories and the result was that almost in every instance the voter was turned down. Registrars may ask proper questions, but the fellow appointed as an overseer, representing either party, may ask many improper questions. For instance, "Have you got a tax receipt?" "Where did you get it?" Now an intelligent voter who presents himself before a registration board, ought certainly know that it is no one's business how or where he got his tax receipt. The mere fact of his having one is all the law requires. —The Philadelphia Tribune. The National Negro Press Association was organized at Louisville in connection with the meeting of the National Negro Business League. It deserves the enthusiastic support of every Negro editor, publisher, correspondent and magazine writer in the country. It is what we have been needing to these many years, and now that it has been set on foot, we should see to it that it grows yearly in strength and influence. The Kentucky Reporter is proud that so promising an institution had its birth upon the soil of the Blue Grass State. We are likewise proud that Mr. R. W. Thompson, a native Kentuckian, was chosen president. He has energy, broad ideas and the courage to stand up for the right. As business is what the press most sorely needs just now it is eminently fitting that the Association should rally itself with the body that files the banner of "Business" at its mast-head—Kentucky Reporter. Beef up—advanced three cents per pound. Pork steady, with upward tentency. What's it all about? the poor people would like to know. The "downtrodden" farmer is having his inning, and promises to stay long at the bat. Vegetables will soon take a fanciful flight, and then what? Thank heavens, the crop of navy beans is up to the standard. Rice, hominy, beans, will prove the trinity de resistance for the winter and early spring, until a freshet of spring stuff serves to restore financial sanctity among the sweet potatoes, potatoes, apples and such like.—The Freeman. Mrs. C. E. Johnson, trained nurse and successful Obstetrician, has moved from 1114 Jackson street to 39 Lewis street, South Nashville, where she can accommodate Meharry students with first-class rooms and board. She will also continue practice in her profession. Phone Main 2024. MR. H. J. RICHARDSON VISITS THE FAIR. Mr. H. J. Richardson, Secretary of the North Alabama Colored Fair, of Huntsville, Ala., was a visitor at the State Fair. Mr. Richardson claims to have one of the best fairs held in the South, and is in Nashville exchanging courtesies with the officials of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association. He was called home suddenly on account of the illness of his daughter. Mrs. C. C. Patterson reports having had a splendid trip and enjoyable stay in the capital city of Ohio.

YOURS TRULY. NASHVILLE GLOBE. To the Nashville Globe: Not long since Jack Johnson, the world's champion heavyweight fighter, and Al Kaufman met in a pugilistic arena in California, and Johnson lambasted all of the fighting starch out of Al. Jack opened his pandora box and let fly an assortment of punches—uppercuts, jabs, cross-counters, swings, hook-ems and crook-ems, head-lifters, side-swipers, ribbreakers, bewilderers and whatnots—in such classy and scientific profusion that poor, helpless Al was lost in the maze of Jack's flying fists. The truth of it is, Kaufman was helpless, perfectly so, in his mix-up with the best man with the mits in the world. Some newspapers gave out a little sickly, puny giggle, attempting to be spitefully derisive, because Johnson did not murder poor Al. Jack is a level-headed chap, and did just what he had cut out to do. He burst a few lidite shells in Al's camp and reduced him to that limp nothingness that classical latin terms hors de combat—out of fighting condition. He did not care to smother poor Al for fear of adding new fright to poor Jeffries' already over-charged soul. Jack knew his business and contented himself with merely beating his opponent into humble and pitiable submission, without planting on the point of the chin the sleeper—the solar plexus punch. Let the newspapers croak as much as they please about Johnson being out of fighting condition, Al has come around enough by this time to tip them on that score to the contrary. He connected with Jack's mits or Jack's mits connected with him sufficiently often and steamy to make him wise, and wise enough if he so desires, to dispense with a large chunk of valuable wisdom to the next fellow who aspires to the job of transacting business in the "sphere of influence" dominated by Mr. Johnson's commercially-inclined and ever active and alert mits. Al's advice, we opine, would be: Watch that Johnson smile; in the ring, it is deceiving and deceptive, as deceiving and deceptive as a mirage on the Desert of Sahara inspiring hope that will burst in your face and bring you nothing but disap pointment and defeat. DEATH OF MRS. WEBB. Mrs. Eunice M. Webb departed this life at her home, 425 Stewart street, Sunday, September 19, being 21 years and nine months of age. She was the wife of Rev. J. L.

The ices and frappe the color scheme of lilac was carried out. The rooms were filled with the younger set, and dancing was enjoyed until at late hour every one being kept comfortable by the numerous electric buzzers and iced frappe. After an ice course the guests bade a reluctant good-bye to Miss Jones, who was soon to leave for Alabama; Miss Smith for Brooklyn, where she Horton Street 185 So.

There was a real estate transfer which attracted considerable attention in this city this week, one which will possibly cause wide-spread interest when the facts are reviewed concerning the property that was transferred. It will be remembered that some years ago a disastrous fire destroyed Roger Williams University, then situated on the Hillsboro pike. The school occupied a beautiful location and had been there for more than a quarter of a century. Hundreds of students who finished their education in Nashville think of Roger Williams only as it stood on this beautiful sight with pleasant surroundings, being located, as it was, just on the outskirts, or bordering on an aristocratic portion of Nashville between Vanderbilt University and Belmont College. It was said time and again that the American Baptist Home Mission Society would make quite a deal of money on the sale of the property, should they sell it as resident property. And it is known that they did refuse a handsome sum for the school before the fire. But it was stated that the deal did not go through then because the price offered was not what the authorities in New York considered a reasonable sum for so much desirable property. However, the fire removed what was considered a barrier, in that the buildings were destroyed. Nashville people claim that $60,000 insurance was collected on the two buildings that were destroyed. At any rate, the authorities in New York suspended, or did not re-open the school, which can only be explained by those in upper circles, or those who knew the ins and outs of the New York Society. It remained closed for several years, or until the Negro Baptists of the state decided that they would no longer allow the school to remain closed. After changing sites, or at least, after rumored changes, the school finally settled out on White's Creek pike on the old Olympia Park site. They have received, according to some well-informed Baptists, about $10,000 from the New York Society while the Baptists themselves have raised about $20,000. The real estate transfer this week brings fresh to mind the enormous value of the old University property, which is said to have been taken from the Negro Baptists of the state of Tennessee by the American Baptist Home Mission AUTUMN STYLES Our stock is complete in all sizes, styles and leathers for fall and winter, to fit every member of the family.

Society, notwithstanding the equitable rights they held for twenty-five years. A few lots in this original university property, which is now called university place, were sold by Mr. A. B. Hill, real estate agent, for $25,682.50, according to statements appearing in the daily papers. Not oneighth of the property was involved as the lots front on Hillsboro pike, Pierce Capers and Blackmore avenues, about one block in all. Much improvement has been made to bring this desirable residence property, as it was always regarded as such even when the school was in operation, into the aristocratic West Nashville class and it appears that success is evident. However, 35,000 citizens of Nashville and about 200,000 in the State of Tennessee, together with a denomination numbering about 1,000 have watched very closely the action and facts concerning the transfer of this property. Those informed claim that the New York Society collected $60,000 in insurance and $175,000 for the property. If true, they got $235,000. The best informed among the Negro Baptists say that a just proportion and distribution of these funds would have given the present Roger Williams at least $100,000 which would have enabled it to begin the operation of the university under the most favorable circumstances. But instead of this enormous amount, over a quarter of a million, they have received not more than $10,000. Much dissatisfaction prevails on account of the little support being given the school, yet there is no desire on the part of the Negro Baptists to begrudge the price that this property is bringing, but they state openly that the university ought to receive more financial consideration than is now given it. They are strugging to open a new girls' dormitory and $10,000 cash would complete the building and furnish it, or in other words, two-fifths of the amount received for a block of the old university property would give the new university a dormitory for girls that would stand as a monument to the denomination. Whether this will be done or not, or whether the great religious society of New York will be kindly enough disposed to send back $10,000, telling the Negro Baptists of the state of Tennessee to use it to the best advantage for the educational work, is a matter that many people are hoping will become a fact.

Holmes was a brilliant affair. The Japanese lanterns which hung along the front veranda and side piazza were lit promptly at 8 p. m. The parlor was tastefully decorated with cut flowers and festoons of pink and white tissue paper crepe. Just above the piano were draperies of pink and white. The ladies present wore pink and white, or, a combination of the two. Games and music were the enjoyment of the evening. About 10:30 the guests were notified to repair to the dining room. The color scheme, pink and white, was conspicuous. In the center of the table was a huge pumpkin cut into the form of a basket, the handle of which was lavishly decorated with pink and white bebe ribbon.

A writer in the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch thinks Jim Jeffries should give himself a good try out with some £ec- ond-rater before tackling Jack John- son, This would give the public a . good line on Jeff's condition, The ar Hicle in question is as follows: |. “James J. Jeffries’ policy during his period of training andworking fcr his fight with Johnson will interest many of the keen-eyed gentlemen who like jto turn a sure, if not strictly a sport- ing penny, on events not too closely Hwratehed by a major part of the pop- ulation. “Knocking down favorites is not ‘only an old, but it is frequently a lu- erative profession to those who fol- jow the ring. For the favorite, espe- ¢ially of late years, years, is by no ee: the winner of even half the ents scheduled. “Jeffries is sure to be made the bet- ting choice when he and Johnson step into the ring five or six months later. Pride of race as’ well as a sincere be- lief in the ability of this man-terpedo, will make for that and lull to sleep the ‘suspicions that may be enter- tained as to Johnson's, ab'lity. “Yet Jeffries is going the way to make himself the man we ought to bet against. Johnson has diss'pated, it is true, while Jeffries is going to the temperance line; but Jobnson is secking fights, while Jeft is ignoring them, and this is a point that will have a material bearing on the rev sult. “To hope to get back his fighting efficiency, Jeffries must actually re- turn to the ring and fight several enough character to put nim to a test. minor engagements of a serious ‘Remember, Jeffries has not fought in years, His muscles have lost the ready response that plenty of action lends and which is seldom regained, once thoroughly relaxed. His judg- ment of dictance, his accuracy of }footwork—everything has been im- paired. And while he may restore strength and mere ruggedness, there is nothing that can lend the nice and eects touch to efficiency as con- tant practice. “Johnson will fight himself into condition, and, gentlemen, that is the rer to get into shape. Physical cul- ture, Carlsbads and the ‘rope-skipping stunt are all right as side. issues. But for the’ world’s ‘champion who wants to be great and remain so fight- ing alone can keep him at the proper piteh. | “So if Jeff gets into the ring against Johnson without having had a fight, jhe can’t get much money on him in the region of the wise. All the care- ful men will be taking the odds of- fered the white party, regardless o! race or pride. As for me, give mé "|the man who fights alt the time, no’ ,|the alfalfa-raised hero of other days 2| ‘tf Jeff does not get into the ring .|before he meets Johnson, he will be ,|extremly foolish.

The Royals bring home the bacon, two silver cups, a dozen gold- headed canes, and lots of other little things. Swelled heads do not exist in the Royals. The game referred to was a heart-breaker to the Cubans’ admirers.
