THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. RAISED BY BISHOP TYREE IN TEXAS. Paul Quinn College at Waco the Beneficiary. GREAT DAY FOR AFRICAN METHODISTS OF THE LONE STAR STATE—NEGROES PLANNING TO EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN—MARK SET AT SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS—AMOUNT RUN UP TO NEARLY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS—PERFECTING PLANS TO RAISE FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN 1910. Tuesday, September 21 was a great day for the Texas African Methodists. Bishop Evans Tyre went down in Texas, his episcopal diocese, and planned a financial rally for $6,000 for Paul Quinn College at Waco, Texas. The task was assigned to 21 presiding elders' districts to report. September 21st was set for these 21 presiding elders to report. After the impressive exercise of installing Dr. D. H. Butler, the newly elected president of the college, Bishop Tyree gave the signal that the rally was on by first laying down a check on the First National Bank of Nashville, Tenn., for $25.00. A penny collection of $10 was taken and a special donation of $225 was presented. Then came the report of the presiding elders by conferences as follows: Texas Conference— Houston District $ 674 00 Palestine District 616 00 Bryan District 265 50 Crockett District 252 00 North Beaumont District 75 00 West Texas Conference— Weimar District 477 25 Brenham District 700 00 San Antonio District 373 00 Bastrop District 322 00 Yoakum District 250 00 Bellville District 305 00 Central Texas Conference— Waco District 612 35 Temple District 465 00 Austin District 402 00 El Paso District 400 50 North East Texas Conference— Waxahatchie District 536 12 Corsicana District 472 00 Dallas District 301 11 Terrell District 300 00 Marshall District 273 68 Bonham District 206 00 Grand total ..... $8,543 83 Granting a net income of $2500 more than was asked or planned for, such is the wonderful influence of Bishop Evans Tyree in Texas, now serving two Episcopal terms of four years each in the state; an unprecedented procedure of the African Methodist Church, of a hundred years standing. The glorious achievements of the Bishop's administration for the past four years warranted the request of the entire church for his return. All Texas is proud of Bishop Evans Tyree, he is teaching the Negroes in Texas and his episcopal district, by precept and example that they must depend upon their own individual efforts and energy for the welfare of their future as a race. Bishop Tyree is an uncompromising enemy to immorality, divorces and intemperance. Honesty is his straight laced formula for every day's guidance and must be the rule for all that work with him, by his wise and honest methods. Bishop Tyree has restored the confidence of all the people in Paul Quinn College affairs until today they have an open account of $2000 standing in the city of Waco, Texas. Under the administration of Bishop Tyree the heavy mortgage indebtedness is being liquidated, plans are set for the next rally in which Texas African Methodists hope to raise $15,000.

UNIVERSITIES Walden, Fisk and Roger Williams HAVE BRILLIANT BEGINNING MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE WILL ECLIPSE ALL PREVIOUS YEARS IN ATTENDANCE NEARLY FIVE HUNDRER STUDENTS-FISK AND ROGER WILLIAMS SHOWING SIGNS OF A PROSPEROUS SESSION WALDEN LITERARY DEPARTMENT TAKING ON NEW LIFE. Another scholastic year has begun, as evidenced by the hundreds of students that are thronging the streets of Nashville. The three great universities have practically swung open their doors for the session of 190.1910. These schools are known throughout the United States and each year at their openings and during the school year students are to be found in Nashville from almost every state in the Union. They not only come for their literary courses, but for the professional advantages offered in Nashville. None of these opening exercises are elaborate, but a deal of importance has been attached to each of them year after year until to-day it is looked forward to as one of the events of the season. Loyal students and scores from the alumni association, citizens from the various walks of life and hundreds of visitors usually come, to see that the year is begun properly and that the school is given the necessary attention. The first school to open was Fisk, which began Monday. Their exercises were of the usual nature and, according to information gained, the school, under the present circumstances, promises the usual amount of high-class training. The enrollment up to the end of the week in all departments was not as large as herefore. Many of the older students have not as yet put in their appearance, but this discrepancy is in a measure made up by the new students who have come from the various states to begin in some of the departments of the university. The Committee of Management, composed of Dean Wright, Profs. Waterman and Scribner, seemed to be highly elated over the prospects for the school year. At Roger Williams a splendid impromptu program was participated in by prominent pastors, business and professional men from the city and marked the opening of the fortieth year of Roger Williams University and the third under the new regime. After invocation President Johnson made a few remarks relative to the amount of work accomplished during the years of his administration. He modestly referred to the growth of the school and the splendid prospects the university was enjoying, with the hearty support and endorsement of entire state as well as the neighboring states. The encouraging feature of the day was the attendance, as more than fifty students enrolled the first day, the majority of these being boarders and the most of them coming from last year and year before 'ast. Short addresses were made by Dr. R. H. Boyd, W. S. Ellington, Wm. Haynes and Attorney A. G. W. Sango, of Oklahoma. Notable in the audience during the opening day were Prof. James A. Davis, of Washington, D. C., an alumnus of the school, who was here to see the splendid record made; Rev. J. C. Fields, G. B. Taylor, J. Slaughter, J. C. Harding, H. Burns, E. M. Lawrence, T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville; Mrs. Bugh, of Martin; Mrs. London, of Connerville; Rev. Finlay, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Prof. H. Burrus, Mrs. Shelton of Chicago; Mrs. Spaulding, of Cowan, and Mrs. Sims, of Decherd. Preparations on the new building are being rushed with all possible speed, and the entire place presents a scene of activity. The women's auxiliaries from many of the associations 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 irous 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 beisg dropped from our list, which makes it a very opportune time to begin. throughout the state have furnished rooms in the girls' dormitory, at a cost of $25.00, and the information is given out that others will do likewise. At Meharry, the largest department of Walden University, that part that carries a national reputation for the institution, another year's work began Wednesday, the 29th. The exercises were held at the Meharry Auditorium and were participated in by people who had been identified with every movement that worked for the good of the institution from its very beginning. Dr. G. W. Hubbard, Dean of the Medical School, in his straightforward, frank and open way made a few remarks. An able program, consisting principally of short addresses, was carried out and then the actual work of the Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges was on for another year. The attendance was flatteringly large and all the week they have been coming in. By the middle of October it is expected that about 450 in all departments will be enrolled, thus reaching the high water mark in the history of the school. The seniors have arrived in surprisingly large numbers and only a few of the class of 1910 are out. Most of them are expected to arrive before the 15th. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hart, of Jefferson street, entertained Tuesday in honor of the sixth anniversary of their daughter, Dayton Arabelle Hart. A large number of little ones were present, and as the weather was ideal they engaged in the many out-door games of which most children are fond. At an appropriate hour they were called into the dining-room. The table presented a beautiful scene with a crepe tissue parasol hung from the gas jet from which came streamers reaching to the four corners of the table. In the centre of the table stood an elegant birthday cake, the gift and handiwork of Mrs. S. P. Harris, with its six lighted candles. The children were served an e'aborate menu and ice-course. The little miss received many valuable presents on her natal day. VISITS STATE UNIVERSITY. Rev. J. C. Fields, A. B., B. D., has just returned from his trip to Columbus, Ohio, where he attended the National Baptist Convention. While away he took in Cincinnati and Louisville. At Louisville he visited State University and addressed the faculty and students. THE AFRICAN Bishop Scott Laboring Arduously. DISTINGUISHED PRELATE OF THIS CITY WORKING IN DISTANT LAND NATIVES WELCOME HIM WITH OPEN ARMS-HOLDS ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN WEST CENTRAL AFRICA-SOME LIGHT THROWN ON CONDITIONS IN THAT NOTED COUNTRY-GREAT HOPE FOR THE AFRICAN EVINCED IN MANY WAYS. Bishop I. B. Scott left this port on June 9th for Saint Paul De Loanda, where he went to preside over the annual session of the West Central African Mission Conference. The Bishop returned to Monrovia on Thursday the 5th of the month, per Steamship "Bonny," after an absence of nearly eight weeks. He came from the lower Coast by the steamer "Brussellville" and transhipped at Sierra Loan for Monrovia; he had a very pleasant and safe voyage. The Conference was held quiet three hundred miles interiorward from Loanda, and the Bishop reports a very successful session. He was met at Loanda by Brother Shields, who accompanied him to the seat of Conference. The work was carefully looked after, and our missionaries in that section of the field start off for another year of missionary effort in the strength of Him who Commissioned the disciples to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." The work in the West Central Africa Mission, was founded upon Bishop Taylor's self-supporting plan, but is now being fostered by the Board of Foreign Mission, under the supervision of Bishop J. C. Hartzell. The territory is under the Portuguese Government, and our work therefore must meet the present needs of the Portuguese as well as our own native population. By this it is indeed apparent that this visit of Bishop Scott to this field in the discharge of his Episcopal functions carries with it the significant fact of the world-wide principles of our Methodism. The Church will more and more come into the deeper realization of her duty to our foreign missions, as our Missionary Bishops give to the Cause their earnest and faithful supervision and report the same through our Church organs. This visit of the Bishop in his official capacity enables him to have a better knowledge of the real work being accomplished together with the needs of the various Missions. It will doubtless broaden his horizon as to the larger views of the entire mission field, thereby bringing about a full comprehension of the comparative strength of our Methodist Missions, and showing the strategic points for more aggressive missionary operations. It gave an opportunity to study the native people now under the domination of Europe as camped with our native Liberian population. In this, much more can be accomplished in the intelligent presentation of the needs of Africa, especially during this our "Diamond Jubilee" Celebration. The Bishop is optimistic in his vision of what God means for the darker races in the coming years of our missionary endeavors. The Bishop speaks in highest terms of his reception and treatment by the members of the Conference, all of whom are white, and the missionaries in general. A reception was tended him at Loanda on his arrival, and Rev. and Mrs. Shields, the missionaries in charge, did their utmost to make every thing pleasant for him. The report showed that some advance had been made during the year both in the number of members and the property acquired. The Conference was held at Quessua, about 300 miles inn the interior, as aforestated. In reaching our Mission Station at this place, much of the distance over ) 7 ) ‘ : ‘ : ‘ } - ; : ‘ | FOR THE CHURCH AND HOME ‘ SS eS | Gneatin nee .

Prominent among the visitors of the Negro State Fair was the Hon. A. G. W. Sango, a practicing attorney in the State of Oklahoma. Mr. Sango is a Creek citizen and very prominent in political affairs. He married Miss Elnora Work, of this city, and while in the city was the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Work, Sr., and other relatives. HON. A. C HON. A. A. W. SANGO HON. A. G. W. SANGO. Mr. Sango was much delighted to have an opportunity to visit our city and see the progress the race is making, and expressed his warmest thanks for the hospitalities shown him while here. Among the many friends who entertained him while here were Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Moore, Mrs. Martha Wells Brown, Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bostic CATHOLIC COLLEGE FOR GIRLS. For some eight years a very quiet and let a very distinctive and forceful work in the educational field has been developing in the St. Francis de Sales Institute for Colored Girls, Rock Castle, Va. This school was erected in 1899 by Mother Catherine Drexel, and placed under the personal supervision of her own Sisterhood, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. No effort was spared to make building and equipment as nearly perfect as possible and the writer, who has visited many of the colored and white educational institutions of the Southland, can state without hesitation or flattery that he found it equaled by very few and surpassed by none. Traveling on the C. & O. R. R. west from Richmond, following the graceful curves and windings of the historic James for forty miles, one sees on an eminence about a quarter of a mile south of the river, a large brick building with granite trimmings, the modified type of Elizabethan architecture. The main building looks down upon the James, while the two annex wings face Deep Creek on one side and Lick Creek on the other. The situation is ideal for earnest study. Beautiful nature is pre-eminent, while distractions and noises of a busy city are remote. It is the aim of the Sisters to educate their pupils physically, mentally and morally; to form them into truly noble, whole-souled women, and thus make of each individual a potent factor in the bettering of the whole race. A golden era of opportunity is dawning for the colored people of the South in this select school, which offers unrivaled facilities, which the better class will not be slow to recognize and appreciate in their endeavors to procure the highest advantages of culture and education for their daughters. The purpose of the school is found in its broad, well-rounded curriculum. It has been shown that a large amount of manual work may be carried on without in the least jeopardizing the results in the fundamental and academic branches. --- Monday afternoon his brother-in-law, Prof. J.

Griggs announced to his congregation that he had about made up his mind to give up the pastorate and that ere long they would have to look out for a new shepherd to lead them. This information was given out this week. It is known that Rev. Griggs has been giving much of his time to literary work and travel, but since his return from the National Baptist Convention, which has just closed its session at Columbus, Ohio, he seems to have decided to take the position offered him as field secretary of the Educational Board, of which Rev. A. N. McEwen is Secretary and Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., of Memphis, Tenn., Chairman. Rev. Griggs will have all of the educational work in his charge during the temporary absence of Rev. McEwen, who has been ill for the past several months. Rev. Griggs stated to friends this week that while he contemplated taking up this field work of the Educational Board, he did not mean that his headquarters would be moved from Nashville, hence it is understood that he will be in and out as heretofore. He expects success and according to the attitude of several states it will mean a revival of the Theological Seminary project which has been sleeping for the past few months. DEATH OF MRS. BRUSTEP. Mrs. Elizabeth Bruster departed this life September 29, 1909. She is the mother of Mrs. Jennie Allison of Chicago, Ill., and Wm. Bruster, who for a number of years has been employed by Rev. Preston Taylor. She was a loving mother, a devoted Christian and for more than thirty years a member of St. John A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Bruster had been ill for a number of months and bore it all with patience, saying to her many friends who would visit her bedside, from time to time that she was only trusting in the Lord and that his will must be done. She leaves two daughters, two sons and four grandchildren to mourn her loss. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1909. his brother-in-law, THE VAMPIRE OF THE SOUTH— Jr. entertained in THE HOOKWORM. (McClure's Magazine for October.) Not long ago a doctor walking about the outskirts of Goldsboro, North Carolina, came upon a man, a mere skeleton, ghastly pale, cinging to a post to keep himself from falling. The doctor stopped and asked what was the matter. After a pause, during which he seemed to be trying to get up strength to reply, the man said, "I got no blood in me." The doctor looked at him with unusual interest. Not that "crackers" and "poor whites" were anything new to him,—he had seen hundreds of them among the rural population of North Carolina; but the explanation of their peculiar anemia had only just been published, and the doctor, as he stood there, was asking himself if that explanation could be true. He questioned the man as to what he was doing for his trouble. After another long pause the man said: "I'm goin' to the blacksmith's—to git some iron filings; put 'em in vinegar; drink it to bring my blood back." This is one of the common remedies among the people; another is to put an ax under the bed of a sick person "to cut off the pain." Every one who lives in the South or has traveled there knows the "crackers," "sandhillers," "barrenites," of whom able-bodied darkies fecitiously sing, "I'd rathab be a nigghan than a po' white trash." Feeble slow-moving creatures, most of them, some emaciated, some bloated with dropsy, you recognize them at once by their lusterless eye and a peculiar pal'or—"the Florida complexion," their skin is like tallow, and you seem to be looking through a transparent upper layer into an ashy or saffron layer beneath it. If you speak to one of these saffron-hued natives, especially to one of the children, you are generally met by a very curious, fish eyed stare without a gleam of intelligence back of it, and you wait long before you get a reply. The reply when it does come, is very likely a repetition of your own words, and you go off saying "Stupid!" to yourself. How the Parasite Got Its Name. Ten years ago even the foremost physicians did not know that the anemia of the South was caused by the hookworm; but to-day, thanks largely to the tireless efforts of one man—Charles Wardell Stiles—the whole medical profession and many of the laity are awake to the vital isues of the problem and are preparing a crusade that shall reach from the worst regions of the barrens where nearly the whole population is suffering, to the farthest "cove" in the mountains and stamp out the disease. The discovery of the hookworm itself is not recent. In 1872 Goeze, a German clergyman and zoologist found a small, hair-like parisite in the intestine of a badger he was dissecting, which he called der Harrundwurm (the hair-round worm), mentioning in his published description some finger-like rays in the membranous expansion of the tail that he supposed to be hooks; and seven years later Froelich, another German zoologist, found a similar parisite in the intestine of a fox. Observing the "hooks" spoken of by Goeze, and still supposing them to be such, Froelich adopted the vernacular word, Haak-enwurm (hookworm), and gave the generic name Uncinaria (from uncinus, a hook) to the genus he established. Thus the parisite gct its name. As a matter of fact, the "hooks" are not hooks at all, but supports, somewhat resembling umbrella ribs, for the flared tail membrane, or bursa, of the male. However, the name clung for two other reasons: the head of the worm bends conspicuously backward, making a hook of the worm itself; and within the mouth cavity of the European species, Anchylostoma duodenale, lie four sharp, chitinous hooks by which the parasite fastens itself to the intestine. The Cure Simple and Cheap. In light infections, microscopical examination is the only known test; but with moderate and severe cases other symptoms are so clearly marked that the case is usually diagnosed and treated without it. As one doctor told me, "I look at their color, dose 'em with thymol, and diagnose it afterward! Never known to fail!" The color—that is, the pallor—often extends to the gums, which become as white as chalk or paper. The lip lines fade cut and the mouth looks like a gash in the face. The tongue is coated and frequently has pigmented spots or a dark line running its length. Dr. Stiles was the first to call attention to the peculiar facial expression in hookworm cases; in the older people, a strained, dull hopelessness; in the younger, a fixed, fish-eyed stare. Once you have become familiar with the stare, you cannot mistake it. The one remedy that has stood the test of time is Bozzolo's thymol treat $1.00 A WEEK BUYS THE LATEST STYLES Millinery—Separate Skirts, Misses' Suits. Men's Hats, Men's and School Boys' Suits. ASKIN & MARINE 411 UNIO STREET ment—thymol, followed by Epsom salts. But thymol is a powerful and dangerous drug when taken carelessly, and should never be used except by the direction of a physician. Ordinarily, it passes through the intestine, stunning the hookworms and compelling them to drop their hold though many resist a first and even a second dose, probably because they are so deeply imbedded in the mucous membrane, as shown in Sand-with's autopsies. Two hours after the thymol, a dose of Epsom salts clears out the intestinal tract.

If the amount is large death will be the result. Sandwith attributes two deaths to it. One of Dr. Stiles' experimental dogs died under it. Dr. Smith warms strongly against its undirected use, especially where the heart is already weakened or atrophied by disease. The patient must therefore be be died the day before the dose is administered, to exclude fats and oils. The dose is best given on an empty stomach, the first thing in the morning. NEGRO DOLLS IN DEMAND. Supply Quickly Exhausted by the African Baptist Convention. (From the Ohio State Journal, Columbus.) Colored dolls have become a national issue and a religious problem, and the answer will be on hand this morning when the twenty-ninth annual session of the National Baptist Convention opens. Two years ago the suggestion was advanced that colored children ought to play with colored dolls. It was advocated in the church conventions and was put forward as a subject of race pride. At the instigation of the last Baptist convention it was taken up by the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has a $300 000 plant at Nashville, Tenn., owned and controlled by the convention, which meets here to-day. The Publishing Board started out to manufacture dolls. From the first the output met with a ready sale, but never before has an exhibit been made in the North. A case about twenty feet long contains the exhibit brought here from Nashville. The dolls arrived yesterday, and last night, when the work of preparing for the gathering was at an end, every one had been sold. The purchasers were required to leave them on exhibition, however, during the progress of the convention. There are dolls of all sorts and sizes. They range, in dimensions from six inches to three feet and in price from fifty cents to $8. They are dressed in all sorts of styles. The features of the face approximate the Ethiopian closely, without, the exaggeration which is seen on most colored dolls offered for sale. All the work on these dolls, as indeed all the work in the publishing board's plant, which is the largest of its kind in the world, is done by Negroes. ON TUSKEGEE FACULTY.

Miss Henley left this week to take up her work at the school, not as a student, but under different circumstances. She has been an ardent worker in the Sunday-school, being a member of the notable Philathea class No. 16, of the Mount Olive Baptist Sunday-School. Like most of the teachers, she goes leaving a host of friends wishing her much success. THANKS TO THE COLORED TROOPS. I move that we give a vote of thanks to the colored troops stationed at Fort Porter. They have been away ahead of the white troops in their behavior, and I, as a neighbor, tender my sincere thanks. The above appeared in the Buffalo Evening News, of Saturday, September, 1909, in Everybody's Column, and will no doubt get lots of seconds. One prominent citizen of New York State says: "This is a common record for the Negro troops to make." MRS. CONNER DIES IN TEXAS. MRS. CONNER DIES IN TEXAS.

Mrs. Conner's death occurred at Ft. Worth, where she had gone with her husband, who is a Baptist minister. Many people here possibly remember Mrs. Conner; as she was a Nashville woman and a graduate of Fisk University in a class of the eighties.

The city primary election is over and with few exceptions the people know who will be the city officials for the next term. The men elected to run for seats in.the city council have made their final race, and are now waiting to be sworn in, The same is true of all the other candidates except the one for Mayor. The in- dependent candidate promises to make it interesting for the Demo- ¢ratic nominee for that position. He has run once as an independent and was successful, and had Mr. Johns re- mained independent his chances for success in this election would be bet- ter. But it is well remembered that he went into the Democratic Primary and was defeated by the present county sheriff. He has never stood as well with the masses since, and the effect of that change in his policy will, no doubt, be felt-in the present campaign. On the other hand his op ponent is a staunch Democrat, and so far as we know has always been He believes in sticking to his party right or wrong, and in working t¢ right wrongs, froma Democratic poin' of view, when they come up.

Talk the matter over with your neighbor and learn all you can about the men, and then make up your minds what to do and do it fearlessly. As to what this or that candidate has said about the Negro in a peli- tical speech should receive very little consideration, Very few white men in the South can make a political speech without saying something about the Negro in a disparaging way, There is always a crowd around that believes it is essential to greatness. Sometimes these very men make splen- did public officials. What the Ne- groes will have to do is to decide which candidate’s platform will work to the best interest of the city and which one will find enough to think about after he gets in office to make him forget what he said about the Ne- gro in the campiagn and vote as a unit to elect that man, THE STATE FAIR. On last Saturday night the second Fair of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association came to a close. The exhibition was a slight improvement over that of last year, but could not be considered a fair representation of the wealth of the Negroes of the State of Tennessee. There were more horses here from nearby towns, and they were good ones too, but horses alone do not constitute the productive- ness of this state, nor is it a fact that the Negroes are contentrating their efforts on raising horses. There are Negro men in all parts of the state engaged in every line of business, and until they are made to feel that the State Fair is theirs; that the reputation of the Negroes of Ten- nessee is at stake, and that every one is responsible to the extent of his ability to sustain that reputation, we can not hope to have a State Fair that will be a creditable one. Visitors were here from all the sur- reunding states, and as far West as Oklahoma, and it was painful indeed to have some of them tell us to our face that they. have county fairs in their states that are bigger and better than our State Fair. We do not desire to be looked upon as “knocking” the State Fair, for we are fully in harmony with the enterprise. We had hoped that the Fair would be a great success, and we belieye yet that the sons of the grand old Volunteer State will rise equal to the occasion, and that we will have a State Fair that will fully represent the wealth and progressiveness of the colored citizens of this state. It is for this reason that we make this ex- pression so early after the close of the Fair. We have unshaken faith | in the ability of our men and women. We believe them to be the equal of | those of any state of our Union. We | know what they have done in the }| past and have no cause to believe thal |they are not as loyal now as the; i|have ever been. Agaii we woul }| have the world know that the Negroe: | of Tennessee have not been idle.

We ought to have a great fair and we must have it. SCHOOL DAYS. _ This week finds all the colleges and public schools ig this city alive with activity. The public schools opened om the thirteenth, and this week all cf the departments of Fisk, Roger Wil- liams and Walden Universities were opened and the year’s work begun in earnest. The institutions of higher learning bring to our city annually hundreds of students from all parts of the country. They are here seeking knowledge, and we hope they will be fully paid for the energy spemt and the money invested. Nashville is an ideal school city. We have won the enviable reputation of being the “Athens” of the South. Every citizen in this city should be proud of that record, and ever keep in mind what it means. We ought not to allow any one to come here and go away without being impressed with our hospitality. We will average fair- ly well with other cities as to our learning, but a great people are those who use the knowledge they have at- tained for the good of others. We welcome the students of all the colleges to our city, and hope their stay here will be both profitable and pieasant. We also “welcome those teachers in the colleges and public schools who are strangers to us, and we assure them that the people ot Nashville will do their best to make their efforts a success. THE HOOKWORM. Following closely upon the great excitement caused by the discovery of a new disease that threatened our Southland, the dreaded pellagra, comes ,the startling announcement that the shiftless whites and blacks in the South are not really lazy, but that they are suffering with attacks of a murderous bookworm. In Me- Clure’s magazine for October the ray- ages of these life-sapping little crea- tures are fully explained, and it would be well to secure the magazine and read the article. ‘The writer states that the majority of the cases are found among the poor whites, but admits that Negroes have Leen known to be affected with the disease, So they are not respecters of persons, but sieze the subjeets fit for their onslaught. Two cases have happened reeently in this city where white men have attempted to force Negroes to violate the law on the street cars. The law stipulates how passengers of the two races shall be seated, but the white fellows are sustaining their reputation of being wheresoever the black man is. He cannot obey his own laws. Our old Court House is being over- hauled and another story is to be added. Oh! for an unquenchable fire to remove that eyesore and its more nauseating neighbor, the old Market House. Judge Baker sustained his reputa- tion for doing odd things when he fined two members of the. mob who chased a colored man early in the week that should have been turned ever to criminal court. There are only three men eligible to vote on the North Pole bill, and one time the Negro holds the balance of power.

Every one of the 36,000 or 40,- 000 colored inhabitants of this city should have a hand in helping to build up this Fair. Let the fact not be overlooked as to the reason why the local daily pa- pers made favorable mention of the Fair at Greenwood in their news col- umns and editorially. They meant to impress upon those of our people who were inclined and contemplated in- flicting the white Fair at Cumberland Park with their unwelcome and “un- desirable” preseRce to -go to their own, They did this in a diplomatic ‘way by commending the Fair at Greenwood, When Shakespeare said, “What fools we’ mortals be,” he was speaking of those who doggedly per- sist in doing that which is contrary to their better judgment. He is in- deed to be pitied, rather’ than “cussed,” who will stumble and stag- ger over the dictates of his own in- telligence and reason to the disgust of others and the humiliation and discredit of himself. The sooner we make whatever we desire to have, to see and to know, the better for us and posterity. The white fair is the result of con- cert of effort and action on the part of the white race, and they labored to accomplish their aim of building up a great fair with no thought of the “colored brother” in their mind or on their program. It is racia'ly incum- bent upon every one of ys to do like- wise in fostering a similar enterprise of our own. The white people's was a small affair at first, but they toiled but the harder to make it what they desired it to be. We can make ours a thing of beauty, a pride, and a joy, if each will do something to that end —if each will give his patronage he will be contributing in a measure to that end. We had as well learn soon as learn late that if we are to look at any “pretties,” we must make them, and the fact, too, remains that the learning must be done. If there are to be any worthy enterprises at which we can show to the world the produc- tions of our thrift, our industry and our invention, we must build up such from foundaticn to turret. Day after day it is emphasized that we are to be the architects of our own racial life. We should not fear that the gate fees we pay two or three times will enrich somebody other than our- | selves and make us poverty-stricken mendicants; that need not necessari- ly be true, because we, as a people, have wasted many a dollar. building up the white man’s enterprises )| through the excursion mania.

At the entrance to the formal garden of one of the most beautiful country places within reach from New York two large stone dogs stand like sentinels. They were found in Italy, and bear the inscriptions "Indus" and "Nilus," curiously suggesting, as one looks past them into the garden, the connection between great rivers and fertility and beauty. From the earliest time rivers have appealed not only to the adventurous spirit but to the quick imagination; they have been highways for daring navigators, and they have been the channels of romance and poetry. To name them is to recall the rechest historical associations, to bring before them ind some of the most charming scenery of the world, and to enumerate the busiest routes of trade. The Indus, the Euphrates, the Oxus, the Nile, the Danube, the Rhine, the Loire, the Thames, the Hudson, the St. Lawrence, the Columbia, the Mississippi, the Amazon—these are the glowing titles to some of the most fascinating chapters in history!—The Outlook. REVELATION TO THE PUBLIC. The superior manner in which Hon. A. N. Johnson handles funerals entrusted to his care; the skill employed in embalming; the almost perfect and faultless service from the time he is called in until the service is completed at the cemetery, has been a revelation to the public and a source of comment on the part of critical people who desire as perfect service as is possible. This superior service simply has outdistanced competition and Mr. Johnson stands in a class entirely alone. Thinking people, those highly critical, the independent kind of folks who want the best of everything from the beginning and no excuses, are calling in Mr. Johnson to serve them; and besides they are profuse in telling how well they are pleased. Ask any person who has had his service, or any who have seen his service and get their word. Thoroughly experienced, eminently competent painstaking in every detail, well poised and thoughtful, dignified and correct he is seen at a glance as an artist in the profession. The people are therefore supporting that business, because it has been a necessity in the community for a long, long time and he is worthy of the public patronage because of the superior and unequalled service.

GOT THE PRIZE IN A WALK-OVER. There were four carriages to enter the contest at the colored Fair last week. One only of which belonged to Hon. A. N. Johnson. It was his beautiful Landau, thrown open, drawn by a pair of his Dappled Grey steeds, and driven by Mr. Preston Jones, who bandled the horses in a manner that brought forth applause from the people present. It took the judges no time to decide that The Johnson outfit was superior in every respect and promptly tied the blue ribbon on the outfit, when the audience vociferously applauded approval. Mr. Johnson has been receiving the congratulations of the people ever since. When it some to equipage, there is never any question, for all the people know that the particular, critical and scrutinizing people and all who want first-class carriage service invariably see Mr. Johnson.

Al G. Fields, the King of Minstrelmen, was in the city this week and his big company paraded the principle streets with Fields heading the procession in one of Johnson's magnificent carriages drawn by those stately steeds, with the uniformed driver holding the reins. The scene was gratifying to the race-loving men who stood on all the corners watching the procession. When it comes to the very best there is in carriages, it is always "A. N. Johnson in the lead."

It will be remembered that their old residence with its contents, was destroyed by fire about a year ago. The new building stands on the same site as the o'd and is a beautiful cottage in the Colonial style with seven rooms and bath including an attic,the beauty of the interior being enhanced by frescoed walls and elaborate gas fixtures. The house commands an excellent view from the Jefferson street car line and is a pleasant addition to the street and neighborhood. Mr. Oscar Halface, of 912 McCampbell street, has just arrived from New York after a few days spent on vacation and will be entertained by hfs relatives at Franklin, Tenn. Prospects of 1909—Fisk. Football at Fisk began on Bennett Field Monday, with a fair number of candidates in uniform, ready to get in condition to battle for the Old Cold and Blue this fall. A goodly number of the old stars, such as Warren, Dawson, McKissack, Smith, Thompson and probably Clarke will not be seen in the uniform of Fisk this season and will no doubt be greatly missed, but Coach Giles and Manager Jackson are hopeful. The Coach is starting things with a rush and is determined to get the squad in the pink of condition as soon as possible. The schedule as it stands at present, calls for some hard series of games. Atlanta Baptist College, Knoxville College, Roger Williams, Lane College, Meharry and possibly Tuskegee. Talladega and Howard have been arranged or partially arranged to be oppenents by Manager Jeckson. The slogan already raised is "Meharry must fail once more!" It is expected that within ten days the Fisk aggregation will be ready and prepared to listen for the sharp toot of the referee's whistle and struggle for the honor of their alma mater. Pearl High Getting Down To Business The Pearl High School football team starts the 1909 season under very promising conditions. The old players of last year's team that have reported for practice are: Caldwell, Hurt, Davis, Captain; Floyd, R. Duncan, Duncan, Allison, Leach, Anderson, Williams and Dillahuny of last year's team are yet to report. These recruits have reported to the coach and give promise of making first class material; Davis, Herman, Gray, Scruggs, Baxter, Johnson, Winsten, Fite, Jesse, Stockard, H. J., Miller, Waddy, Chrismon. Others have signified an intention of joining the squad and the outtook is good. The first game of the season will be with Fisk on October 9. The team is now working with that game in view. Prof. Cameron, the head coach and trainer of the athletic teams of the High School, had great success the last school year. The football team won the Preparatory Championship of the South and the baseball team won the championship in the league composed of Walden University, Fisk University, Roger Williams University and Pearl High School. The football season is drawing near and Pearl will deliver the goods. Ketchell Stands a Poor Chance to Win. We are now ready to figure on Stanley Ketchel's chances when he goes into the ring with Champion Jack Johnson next month. They do not look particularly good to me; in fact, I cannot figure out on paper what right he has to think he can win from the big Negro, supposing he really does think so. That Ketchel believes he has a great chance—or at least did believe so before he was ready to face Langford—there is little or no question. Ketchel has a mighty high opinion of his own powes, and justly so when he is fighting a man in his class, but he is fighting a man out of his class when he goes against Johnson. In weight Johnson has an enormous advantage—at least twenty-five pounds. An advantage in weight is the biggest advantage a fighter can have. It will not of course, make up for deficiency in fighting ability, but if the fighting ability of two men is about equal the man who weighs the more has a big advantage over his opponent. *** It seems almost puerile to harp upon the difference in weight between Ketchel and Johnson, but many of the former's friends do not seem to take this advantage into consideration at all despite the fact that it is weight, and weight alone, which has divided nugilists into classes. There is no question of Johnson's great cleverness. In this respect he has another enormous advantage over Ketchel. The latter is a tough, hard fighter, but it will be a surprise to me if he is able to lay a glove on Johnson early in the battle, when he will be strong enough to have the steam behind it. -Kaufman is a mighty hard hitter, but his punch did him no good against Johnson because he could not land it. I do not think Ketchel has any better chance of landing than Kaufman. In every way that I can think of, except in courage and ability to slug, Johnson has it on Ketchel. How, under these circumstances, therefore, can one figure that Ketchel should defeat the Negro? The latter knows every trick of the ring; he is a hard hitter and wonderfully clever; he is cool headed and not disposed to take any wild chance. Offers the Following Advantages: 1.

Ketchel, on the other hand, is not clever; he has a lot to learn about ring tactics; he is a slugger of the type that offers his anatomy to his opponent in the endeavor to land a telling blow. With fighters of his own type this may be most effective, because he can absorb a lot of punishment, but against a man like Johnson it is apt to be suicidal. Johnson will take no chance of being hit himself to land a punch. He is able to land a punch without taking any such chance. And then above everything else, is the big difference in weight between the two men. It will not be surprising if Johnson allows Ketchel to wear himself out in efforts to land a knockout early in the fight. This is his style of fighting; he lets his opponent come to him and wear himself down, and then, at the end, the Negro steps in and finishes a man who has almost exhausted himself by his fierce efforts to force the battle. If Ketchel were a more clever man he might be able to keep away from Johnson, but the chances are that he can fight only one way—rip in all the time. This is just what Johnson wants. In spite of all this it is not difficult to see why Ketchel should be willing to make the match. According to all reports about him recently he would have a hard time to ever make the middleweight limit again. Then battle with Johnson probably means a lot of money, although I doubt if it will draw the crowd that its promoter believed it would. It is likely that Johnson will enter the ring an overwhelming favorite. It is hard to see how he could be anything else under the circumstances. Any good man is likely to make a great showing against a champion in a short fight, and yet be wholly incapable of winning in a long battle, such as decides championships and brings out the calibre of real championships. Almost any time now the famous Jeffries-Johnson controversy should become the main topic of conversation among fight fans once more. The former champion will have to come out in the open this autumn if he is going to retain his hold on popularity. Since he left for Europe Johnson has made great strides in gaining public favor. His claims that he can whip Jeffries are receiving far more serious consideration than they ever did before, and the Californian must do something besides say he can defeat Johnson to make every one believe that he really can do the trick. As matters stand it is hard to see how there is a chance of Jeffries and Johnson getting together this year and if they ever do meet it is not likely that the fight can be even scheduled before some time late in 1910.-Bill Curtis, in Chicago Tribune ARKANSAS CAPTURES THE BAN NFB. Great interest was manifested at Columbus, O., Sunday morning over the banner that is usually given away *** ```markdown ``` at these model Sunday-schools. As the contest drew to a close, it was apparent that the race was being led by several of the Southern States, with Arkansas a favorite. After much canvassing by the different states, Arkansas led in the collection by reporting something like $32.50. This is Arkansas' second time in the last three years to carry off the honors of the model Sunday-school. At the National Convention at Washington she won easily, the banner going to the First Baptist Church at Little Rock. In all probability, Arkansas will give this banner to one of the Helena churches.

READY DEAD; Last Friday night at 11 o'clock the death angel visited Woodbury and took our dear beloved pastor, Rev. W. M. Ready. Rev. Ready has been a fine church laborer and the Lord has found better work for him above where he will be with king Jesus. He lived a Christian life, walked in the narrow path and to-day he is safe in the arms of Jesus where parting will be no more and where there will be no more sorrow. During Rev. Ready, two years of ministerial work at this place he was loved by all, and we can truthfully say that we have lost a faithful servant, one that was ever at his post of duty. Rev. Ready is not dead but only sleeping and in the morning of the resurrection when all the saints who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb arise, we will join our dear elder over there where there will be no more parting. Rev. Ready left a wife, five children, three sisters and a host of friends to mourn their lost. GUEST HONORED. Mrs. C. J.
