THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. 1V. J. B. FORAKER PRESENTED WITH TOKEN BY NEGRO MINERS. Send Him Gold Watch Fob From Alaska. REMEMBERED FOR WHAT HE DID IN THE BROWNSVILLE CASE — PROMINENT NEGROES PRESENT THE TOKEN TO HIM IN HIS CINCINNATI HOME—HIS HEART IS TOUCHED AS HE LISTENS TO THE WORDS OF COMMITTEE'S SPOKESMAN—IN HIS WAY, AS ONLY JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER CAN, HE' EXPRESSES HIS ATTITUDE IN THAT CELEBRATED CASE. Senator Foraker left on the noon train Saturday for the East to attend to some professional business, but before leaving he was waited upon by a committee of colored men, composed of George L. Knox, editor of the Indianapolis Freeman; Rev. Edward L. Gilliam, pastor of the colored Baptist Church at Columbus, and a large number of others, and formally presented with a handsome and very valuable solid Alaska gold watch fob, sent to the committee for presentation to him by 11 Negro miners of Fairbanks, Alaska. The fob is of very unique and beautiful workmanship, and is very much prized by the Senator. It was sent as a token of the appreciation of these Negro miners in Alaska of the services rendered to the Negro race and the cause of justice by Senator Foraker in the Brownsville matter. Dr. Gilliam presided. Mr. Knox made an eloquent speech of presentation. A number of others spoke in the same strain, all expressing the highest confidence and esteem for the Senator and keenest appreciation for the work done by him. SENATOR FORAKER'S SPEECH. Senator Foraker was deeply and visibly affected, and in response said. Mr. Knox, Rev. Mr. Gilliam and Gentlemen--I could not be insensible to such an occasion as this if I would be, and I would not try to be if I could. "I feel very much moved that these colored American citizens from far distant Alaska should have taken such note of that to which you refer, as that they should have been prompted to send me such a beautiful remembrance as that with which you have presented me. I am proud to receive it—glad to have it. It has great intrinsic value, but it is not on that account that I prize it, although I prize it for that reason and well might, for it is certainly most beautiful—far exceeding anything I had reason to anticipate it might prove to be from that which had been said to me of its nature. But I prize it because it comes to me from men of your race, as an assurance to me that I have their good will and their confidence and their respect, and that they want me to know that I have. Any man might be proud of that. The 10,000,000 Negroes of the United States are, as you Mr. Knox well and eloquently said, so many people who have never faltered in their devotion to American institutions or to that flag so many of them have followed to victory and to death. (Applause.) They have been an important part of our country from the very beginning. They have been identified with every war that we have ever had. The very first blood shed in the War for Independence was that of Crispus Attucks, who fell in the streets of Boston, and so on down from then until now they have stood, the colored men of this country, side by side with the white men, in the defense of our institutions, in the development of our resources, in the upbuilding of this great mighty empire of which we are to-day so justly proud. (Applause.) "Any man might feel proud, therefore. I say, to know by such a token as this and from such words as you have uttered, that he enjoys the respect, confidence and esteem of such an important part of our population—a people who have done so much for the common glory of the American people. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909. "I am proud, therefore, to have this on that account, but I am proud of it beyond that. "I am proud of it because of that to which it has immediate reference—to the effort I made to secure justice and fair dealing for 167 helpless colored soldiers, who were the victims of the ill-considered action of the then Chief Executive of the nation. You referred to the words with which I closed one of the speeches made in the Senate in their behalf. I don't know whether I can exactly recall the sentence, but it was something like this, that 'they did not ask for favors because they were Negroes, but only for justice because they were men.' What justice had been denied them? What justice were they asking for? We learn as time passes. "Within the last few days the newspapers have been filled with express (Continued on Page 2.) C. M. E.

PAUL CHURCH ENTERTAINING MEETING — NEARLY ONE HUNDRED DELEGATES IN ATTENDANCE — ANNUAL SERMON PREACHED BY REV. H. L. P. JONES, PRESIDING ELDER OF THE COLUMBIA DISTRICT —COMMUNION SERVICES ADMINISTERED BY BISHOP H. B. PARKS. The forty-second annual session of Tennessee Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church convened in St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The conference was opened with devotions. Bishop H. B. Parks, the presiding bishop of the Twelfth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Connection, comprising the states of Tennessee and Alabama, introduced Rev. H. L. P. Jones, D. D., presiding elder of the Shelbyville District, who preached the annual sermon. Dr. Jones' discourse elicited many amens from the members of the conference and the members of the church, who were present to witness the opening session of the Conference. At the conclusion of the sermon the holy sacrament was administered by Bishop Parks, assisted by Presiding Elders Haigler, Johnson, Jackson and Jones. The communion over, the members of the Conference and visiting friends engaged in a general handshaking. The Bishop stated that the Conference was open for business. The secretary called the roll and with few exceptions the hundred and odd members of the conference answered to their names. Several visitors were introduced to the Conference during the day, among them being Dr. W. W. Beckett, Secretary of the Missionary Department, with headquarters in New York City. Revs. Williams, Noel and Coffey of the North Alabama Conference; Revs. Moore, Gregg and Brown, of the East Tennessee Conference. The reports of the pastors were taken up at the morning session and continued at the afternoon session. Bishop Parks proved to be past master when it came to expediting business. He kept the reports going and when the time came for the adjournment of the noon session every report had been made except a few members who had been given more time to arrange their reports. All of the men made good reports with very few exceptions. At night the church was packed to hear a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Noel, of the North Alabama. He announced as his subject "Man." The speaker handled his subject in a masterful way and held his audience spellbound for forty minutes. Bishop Parks requested that all the men from the East Tennessee Conference stand up. When they had done so he called the attention of the members of the Tennessee Annual Conference to the fact that the "Baby Conference had put the standard high." He said that they had averaged forty-three cents per member in their financial reports and the "Mother Conference would have to equal that or take the rear." The members vowed they would not be relegated. The meeting adjourned with hen the meeting adjourned with benediction by the Rev. Mr. Noel. IN MEMORY OF LUTHER R. PEYTON. On Wednesday, October 20, 1909 the unwelcome visitor, Death, visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Dee Peyton, and stole from them their beloved son, Luther, and bore his soul on his icy pinions over the Jordan into that celestial city where sickness and death are unknown. Luther was loved by all who knew him. He will walk no more on earth but will live forevermore in heaven with the angels. His palms are all over, and he has gone where pain and sorrow are not known. He is not dead, but has fallen asleep in the arms of Jesus, and will awaken at the first sound of the trumpet on the right hand side of his Father in heaven. Sleep on, dear Luther, sleep on, we shall all meet you by and by. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother, three sisters, a brother and a host of relatives and friends. There is no flock howe'er tended, But one lost lamb is there; There is no fireside howe'er depended, But there's a vacant chair. Mrs. Lille Bailey, of Lebanon, left last week for her home, after visiting her daughter, Mrs. Millie Bohannan, of 1408 Phillips street. Mrs. Oney Harrington, of 2905 Clifton Road, has been ill for several weeks. JAMES RIGHARDSON Deplorable Tragedy Done Without Cause. Since the shooting of Jim Richardson last Saturday night, which occurred near the corner of Fillmore and Lewis streets, South Nashville, some inquiry is said to have been started to ascertain who were deputy sheriffs in Davidson County and how many there are in Nashville. It is freely talked on the streets now among the Negroes and quite a few whites, that one white man out of every three in this city is deputized either as a constable, a plain clothes policeman or a deputy sheriff. Some have declared that half of the men who board the street cars in the morning and go to their daily labor have commissions as deputy sheriffs, constables or special policemen. Further tha nthis, the matter seems to have drifted into an ugly state of affairs, according to well-informed citizens, in that whenever a white man decides to impose upon a Negro he does it and is often shielded under the guise that he is an officer and that the Negro was resisting arrest. Time and again the citizens of Nashville dec are that these shootings and self-defense pleas were by men who were not actively in the service. A gentleman who has lived in the city for quite a number of years said to a Globe reporter that he has seen men (paper hangers) working by the day with their badge under their clothes, as a deputy sheriff. But the shooting of Jim Richardson, according to statements, was unprovoked and uncalled for. Rumor has it that the so-called deputy sheriff fired without provocation and that Richardson was not threatening or approaching the alleged officer in a threatenig manner—that he was going into the soft drink stand as was his custom and habit and that he did not speak to Walker. EMMETT J. SCOTT HERE. A prominent visitor and a young man known universally is Emmett J. Scott who will reach here this morning (Friday) and is scheduled to address the student body and the public in general at Fisk Memorial Chapel this evenig at 8 o'clock. Mr. Scott needs no introduction to Nashville people, as he is known as the private secretary of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and more recently by his being a member of the Liberian Commission, which was appointed by Ex-President Roosevelt and confirmed by President Taft. The Liberian Commission only recently returned from its trip to Liberia and it is upon this subject that Mr. Scott will address the students of Fisk and the citizens of Nashville to night, and as the admission to the chapel is free a large crowd will, no doubt, hear him. All of the students and hundreds of friends in the vicinity of the University, together with the citizens will possibly put standing room at a premium. Mr. Scott is the guest of Mr. J. C. Napier. Meeting Sunday 3:30 p. m., at its rooms, 447 Fourth avenue, North. Subject: "Andrew and other disciples." (Jno. 1:35.) "Why not do Mission Work?" Discussion led by Mr. G. L. Harris, or Fisk.

LARGE CROWDS ATTEND EACH SESSION—STRING OF STREET CARS KEPT BUSY HAULING THE PEOPLE—MANY CREDITABLE EXHIBITS WERE ON DISPLAY—NATIONAL NEGRO DOLL COMPANY ATTRACTS GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION—HIGH CLASS HORSE RACES DURING THE MEETING—NEW TRACK RECORD MADE AT HUNTS-VILLE. Huntsville, Ala., Oct. 23, 1909—The Second Annual North Alabama Colored Fair will close with a horse show at the fair grounds here to-night. The fair opened on October 20th and has been in session just four days. To say that it has been a success would hardly be a proper expression, because the attendance for every day has surpassed the calculations of the most confident and ardent supporters. There is no section of the South where the Negroes are more willing to cooperate than seems to have characterized those working for the success of this annual fair and exhibit that was inaugurated just two years ago this month. Through the kindness of the officials of the Tennessee Valley Fair, (a white organization), the colored people were favored with an appropriate place for holding their fair. Then too, much of the decorations and several large exhibits were left in their place. Notwithstanding the furious storm that devastated much of the grandstand and about half of the shelter for the live stock, there was enough space left in the floral hall to accommodate all the exhibits. The visitors here during the fair came from most of the nearby towns. Notable among the towns largely represented were Sheffield, Athens, Decatur, Steverson, Scottsboro, Florence, Tuscumbia and Meridianville. But the visitors were not confined to Alabama. There were quite a number of Tennesseeans from Chattanooga, Elora, Decherd, Winchester, Tullahoma, Murfreesboro and Nashville. Much has been said about the size of the exhibits. They were not as numerous as on last year, but this is accounted for, according to statements made by President Scruggs and Secretary Richardson, by Athens, Florence and Sheffield having decided to hold a fair of their own this year, and on account of one of the large schools not sending an exhibit. The interest in the fair has been at fever heat all along. Some creditable exhibits were noticed in the hall. Notable among these exhibits was the shoe display of hand-made shoes that would be first-prize winners anywhere. The exhibit was that of Mr. George Lowery, who is instructor at Normal. Another was the excellent and complete display made by the A. and M. College. The live stock and agricultural exhibits were estimable. The judges in awarding the premiums showed, excellent taste in the way they decided the close contests. One exhibit here that was unique and odd for this section of the country was from the National Negro Doll Company, of Nashville, Tenn. Seven Negro dolls of different sizes were put on by the manager of the Negro Doll Company, Mr. H. A. Boyd. Hundreds of people viewed these new toys daily. During the four days that the gates of the fair stood ajar the military band from Normal furnished splendid music. Aside from this there were other amusements, the most attractive of which was the "Old Plantation." On a whole the management of the fair feels that they have accomplished a great work. The hardest worked men in the whole organization are sald to have been Dr. E. B. Scruggs, the president; W. H. Harris, treasurer; D. S. Brandon, vice-president; P. G. Griffin, manager, and H. J. Richardson, secretary. They devised practi- (Continued on Page 7.) ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` CHURCH CLERKS, TREASURERS and PASTORS THIS Church Record is the best that has ever been placed on the market for Baptist Ghureha.

The whole world is aroused because Dr. Ferrer has been put to death by the Spanish Government. Why this indignation and condemnation? It isn't anything unusual that a man should lose his life as a forfeit to the law of the country in which he lives. That happens every day. Somewhere throughout the world the law is every day claiming justice and taking the life of somebody. Why then such intense excitement in this case? The reason is plain. Whether rightfully or not the world has been led to believe and to understand that Dr. Ferrer had no trial; that there was a mere secret procedure, where he had no chance to be heard. It was reported in the newspapers that when his lawyer asked the privilege of calling some witnesses to answer the charges that had been made against him in affidavit form he was arrested for his THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909.

What the world is resenting is not that he was put to death, not that he was put to death for some alleged crime, not that he was put to death wrongfully even, for men are wrongfully accused and convicted every day almost—not every day, but it is not unusual for that kind of thing to happen. If trials and convictions and executions are under the forms of law, and in accordance with the requirements of the law, and the men concerned are given an opportunity to be heard, and fairly heard, the world submits, even though it may be of the opinion that wrong was done, for that much we must all do for the sake of law and order and government. What the world is resenting in this instance of official execution is the fact, as they believe, that the man had no chance to be heard. HE RESENTED IT. "That is all I was doing for the 167 Brownsville soldiers. They had no chance to be heard, I was resenting it. They were charged, tried, convicted, sentenced, punished, disgraced and stripped of their property, good name and everything else, without any chance to show that they were innocent. That is why I could not sit still and acquiesce, and didn't, and wouldn't. (Applause.) Dr. Ferrer's case is no whit worse a crime, except only that in his case they went just one step farther and put him to death. If they had merely turned him out of some office, if they had simply stripped him of some honor, or some right or some privilege, if they had only assassinated his character, but left him living, the world would have little heeded and it would all have been soon forgotten. "It was just so in the Brownville case. If not stopping where they did, they had gone one step farther and had imposed a death sentence on somebody, then the crime involved of condemning a man without a hearing would have been made so patent that every man in America would have been aroused as I was and as you were. (Applause) I excite season is not the and to had no the secret chance in the lawyer ing some that an affidavit for his "I saw it stated in some newspaper that the shots that took the life of Dr. Ferrer are reverberating around the world, and that every throne in Christendom is trembling on account of it.

"If I did nothing more, I have at least, made it certain that no President of the United States will ever again undertake to convict American citizens of crime. (Applause.) "Now a word about that unfortunate occurrence. I supposed when I first read about it in the newspapers, and read that the President had concluded that he must discharge all of them from the army, that he had some kind of conclusive evidence that they were guilty; that some of the men had shot up the town. Therefore, the only thing I took exception to was not that he was punishing somebody who was guilty of a crime, but that he was also punishing innocent men, and then I also disliked the manner in which he proceeded. I had spent all my life in the Courts, where men were allowed to be heard and where justice was supposed to be administered, and usually was administered, and I didn't like the idea because of the way it looked as well as because of the merit of the controversy involved, to see men accused of crime and punished for it until they had a chance to at least state their defense. I thought it was a discredit to our institutions that such a thing could happen. I did not know just what I could do about it. "I was not connected with the army, nor with the executive branch of the Government, but I was in the Senate, and we had certain powers which we could invoke and put in operation that would have a bearing upon it if we gave them the right direction. I concluded that the matter ought to be at least investigated. Nobody ever claimed that more than 15 or 20, at the outside, had participated in the affray. All the others, at least a great majority of the others, were guiltless, according to the most hostile contentions. I didn't like the idea of the innocent suffering by wholesale for fear a few guilty men might escape. We have always thought and taught that it is better that 99 guilty escape than that one innocent man be punished. But here a few who were supposed to be guilty were being punished, and along with them more than 100, as every body knew, who were entirely innocent. I thought we would at least separate the innocent from the guilty. "We started into the investigation with that kind of an idea. I exam- --- --- THE INQUIRY AT WASHINGTON.

They were brought into the committee room and examined, one after another, and I want to say to you gentlemen now, for you will be interested in knowing it, I have been practicing law many years, examining witnesses and weighing evidence, and I never in all this time have seen a more truthful and convincing body of witnesses than those men proved to be. (Applause.) They came to Washington. They were strangers in that great city. They had never been there. They had been out on the firing line on the frontier, in the Philippines and in Cuba and elsewhere, defending the flag, but they had never been at the seat of Government. They were taken into that great building, the Capitol, and one after another ushered into the committee room, where sat 13 Senators, constituting the Committee on Military Affairs. They were sworn, and the stenographer took down every question that was asked and every answer that was given. They were put through the ordeal of examination and cross-examination, and all kinds of re-examinations, by men trying to draw out of them some kind of evidence of guilt, either on the part of the witnesses themselves of somebody else connected with the battalion, as to whose guilt they could give some evidence or some clew. Those poor men had no help of any kind except such as I in my weak way could give them by asking questions and so directing the examination as to bring out the facts. But that, was all the help they needed. I never was so impressed with the majesty and power and the overwhelming and convincing force of truth. "Those poor, weak, ignorant, helpless men were able to prevail and did prevail over all the powers of this Government, wielded and directed by a man who had an almost demoniacal determination to destroy them, to the end that his wicked outrage upon them and their rights might appear to have been justified.

"I soon became convinced that not a man in that battalion had anything more to do with that shooting than you gentlemen had. I have said it in the Senate, I have said it on many public occasions, I have thus said it in public speech, because I feel it my duty to say it. I mean my duty toward those men. "It is now three years and two months since that shooting occurred. According to the theory of Mr. Roosevelt, there were 167 men connected with the case. To justify himself against the charge that he was punishing innocent men his contention was that those who did not participate in the shooting knew about it; that they were accessories and that they had inaugurated a conspiracy of silence, so that none of them would tell and thus nobody could be punished. Three years and two months have passed, and the conspiracy of silence is still triumphant! (Applause.) What an absurdity! There never was such a conspiracy and never will or can be. Never in all the history of man have 167 men, or 100 men, or 67 men, or 20 men had such a secret of crime and kept it for over three years, even if let alone. Certainly not with an army of vigilant detectives and sleuths after them to find some clew or hear some chance remark that would lead to the discovery of the truth, going to the extent, to the lasting disgrace of the officials re- A.

To the credit of these men it should be known that never could they get more than three or four of them intoxicated. (Applause.) Mr. Roosevelt soon learned that these desperadoes, as he called them, were good, honest, law-abiding men, who didn't drink in the army and who couldn't be induced to drink by his hired detectives. (Applause.) "Returning now to the examination; there was not a question asked at any time by any member of that committee that was not answered immediately, without any hesitation, frankly, fully, just as only absolutely truthful and innocent men would answer. Having the opinion that they are all innocent, and that such will ultimately be the prevailing judgment, as it is now the judgment of the great majority of the people, white as well as black—having that opinion, I am, of course, glad to look back and be able to recall that I did stand up, as you suggest, against all the opposition they saw fit to bring, and they brought a great deal. (Applause.) Yes, they fought hard, but I am happy to think they found somebody on guard every time. (Applause.) That is my impression. (Laughter.) "I am glad I did all that, and I am glad that the colored people of the United States appreciate it, for I am rejoiced to have their good will. "I have had a great deal of concern for them throughout my public life, and I am sorry to say that I feel com- pelled to have a good deal more acute concern for them just now. (Applause.) HIS POSITION STATED. "I am not concerned about social equality. We don't have that among white people. There are lots of white people who wouldn't let me associate with them, if I wanted to, and there are many I don't want to associate with. I think that is the way it is with colored people. At any rate, you cannot by law make social equality. That's a thing that regulates itself. But I do believe, and always have believed in political equality as to all political rights under the constitution and before the law. (Applause.) "I thought when the war was over we had abolished slavery, and I thought when we got through with reconstruction that the Negro had been enfranchised and that he had been placed upon the same political plane with the white man, and I didn't suppose the time would ever come when his rights so conferred upon him would be questioned except by irresponsible violators of the law. That is liable to happen anywhere, at any time, in any country or state, but we have lived to see the time, and I am not saying this in any spirit of unkindness, when in every Southern state, almost without exception, the Negro is practically disfranchised his right to vote is practically taken away from him, and just now another great political battle that deeply concerns you is being fought, far greater in point of principle than is the contest now going on in the city of New York. I refer to the contest now in progress in the state of Maryland, where the question is whether or not the right of suffrage shall be taken away from the Negro. I do not know whether they will succeed or not. I do not believe they will. I hope they will not. I think from what has been told me that there are a great many Democrats in the state of Maryland who do not believe that the proposition upon which they have to vote, taking away from the colored man his right at the ballot box, should prevail. I think those Democrats are likely to vote with the Republicans. So, I am hoping you will have a victory, and that we will have a victory, and that the whole country will have a victory, and that we may all continue to say: 'Blessed be the name of Abraham Lincoln. His work shall not be undone.' (Applause.) "Now, a word to you as representatives of the Negro race. I have no doubt you have had a great many disappointments. We all have them, but in the course of time, it may seem slow, it may seem long, and it is slow and it is long, there will come out a recognition of the rights of man, your rights, my rights, everybody's right to stand on the same political plane with everybody else under the constitution and the laws of our country. And when that time comes you can look back through all your tribulation and feel that in the great achievements you have wrought there is an abundant reward for all the trials you have undergone. Therefore do not be discouraged. Have spirit and go forward with hope and confidence. "Now, I didn't have any idea of talking to you so long. (A voice, 'It has not been long.') I must not worry you. Therefore, only another thought. A good many things I don't like are happening. It's not the steam roller, of which you spoke, to which I refer. Neither do I refer to the public service. You have seen fit to kindly allude to that. I have no desire to ever again hold public office, but I have ever had a desire to do my full duty as I understood it without regard to consequences. (Applause.) I could not fail in that respect and be happy; and that is the only desire I have now. Out of public life I am free from public responsibilities and cares. In that I have a great compensation. I would have been glad to have continued in the public service just at the time when I went out of it, but not because I wanted the office. I have a better one here. I am much more comfortably situated, and there are many things connected with it more agreeable than anything I ever found in Washington. "But that is all gone by. I don't know whether I shall ever again be in public service; I don't expect to be, and don't desire to be; but whether I am or not, whether I live long or the end comes soon, I propose to die in the faith. (Applause.) The leopard can not change his spots, at least not after he gets to be 63 years of age. I am proud of mine and shall wear them to the end. "Now, I must stop. Let me again thank you for coming. There is something particularly impressive in the idea that this beautiful token should come all the way from Alaska and that you gentlemen should gather here from the cities of Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington and Columbus and from all about to present it to me. I charge you all to take notice that I highly appreciate it, and through you I thank the men who sent it more than I shall undertake to express. "I wish for you all that recognition of your political rights that will bring you happiness and enable you more than you have in the past to contribute your full share to the greatness and glory and honor of the country. (Applause.) EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS. The seventh annual session of the Educational Congress of West Tennessee will convene at Memphis, Tenn., Thursday, November 25 to 27, 1909. Each session grows in interest. Its territory embraces the counties of West Tennessee. The Congress has become properly known as the "Teachers' Congress on Wheels." It is the only organization of its kind—purely educational—for colored teachers in West Tennessee. Its aim is twofold. (1) To unite the colored teachers on terms of good fellowship and mutual helpfulness; and (2) To stimulate, intensify and popularize public school work, especially as never before, in its bounds—in communities where most desired and most needed. Thus it may be said to be fulfilling its mission. Officers of Congress. Yours for the substantial improvement of our public schools—J. W. Johnson, president, Nashville, Tenn.; A. R. Merry, first vice-president, Jackson, Tennessee; W. R. Jarrett, second vice-president, Obion, Tenn.; J. R.

Nichol held in the Howard Congregational Church and preached by the pastor, Rev. G. Lake Imes, last Sunday, was indeed a sad and impressive one. Mr. Nichol was exceptionally well liked and favorably known to many citizens of the city, both white and colored, and his sudden demise cast a shadow of gloom over the entire community and especially among his large coterie of friends. The deceased was a member of the Journeymens Barber Union No. 79, who had the honor of paying the last sad tribute to his remains which was done by them with much feeling of sincere regret that their friend and comrade had left them to return no more. The Rev. Mr. Imes preached a sermon full of pathos, yet with a moral that was by all means a great lesson in itself, laying particular stress on the great value of the home, family and marriage ties, as was exemplified in the life of Mr. Nichol. The sermon was a deep and instructive one, as well as sad, and a large crowd was in attendance at the funeral to offer by their presence, sympathy and encouragement to the young son of the deceased, Mr. C. T. Nichol, and to cheer him in his sad hour of trouble. Mr. Nichol, who is attendinf college in Chicago, returned to that city Wednesday, where he will resume his studies. He made many warm friends while in Nashville, though on a sad mission, by his gentlemanly bearing and intelligence, and well deported moral conduct in general. Mr. Nichol, when seen before his departure for Chicago, Wednesday, expressed his deep appreciation and gratitude to the many persons who were kind enough to offer him encouragement, sympathy and advice, and expressed also his hearty good wishes for the future success of all friends. McCAULEY-WASHINGTON. Mr. John McCauley and Mrs. Bessie Washington were married at 3 p. m. Sunday, October 17, at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Guy Washington, at. Charlotte, Tenn.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909. RICHARDSON SHOOTING. Human life has become as cheap in this city as that of a rat. Men who are alleged to be officers of the law are a menace to the people rather than a protection. The shooting of James Richardson by a white man named Walker is a most deplorable case. Walker claims to have shot in self-defense, while on the other hand it is claimed by eyewitnesses to the tragedy that Richardson made no threatening move, and that the shooting was without provocation. But be the case as it may, the fact remains that the dead man's life cannot be restored, and the wounded hearts of his grief-stricken relatives cannot be consoled. Walker, as is the custom when a white man commits murder, developed to be a deputy sheriff as soon as he was landed in prison. The deputy business is being carried to the extreme. At the rate they are being created Nashville will soon have a force of deputy sheriffs larger than the population. A few months ago on a Sunday morning a street car conductor shot at a Negro from the rear platform of a car while ladies were getting off. When he was arraigned in court it developed that he was a deputy sheriff. In Walker's case, if he was a deputy why did he not arrest the man when he first had cause to speak to him? It looks like a plain case of murder, but under the guise of deputy sheriff he will more than likely go scot free. PURPOSE OF FAIRS. When the State Fair closed a statement of facts as we saw them was made about the exposition. When the Rutherford County Colored Fair Association held its fair we visited the same, were introduced to the gatekeeper as a newspaper man, he charged us the regular admission fee, which we paid in anticipation of seeing what the farmers and business men of that section of our state are producing. Our expectations were not met, and we so stated in these columns. Some one unknown to us sent a communication unsigned to be published in these columns. We were condemned for what we said about the exhibits at that fair, but we were honest in our opinion. Now information comes to us which if true puts the managers of the North Al --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909 abama Fair in a still worse plight than any we have heard of. It is alleged that the white men who conducted the amusement and refreshment stands on the fair grounds were constantly attempting to flirt with the colored girls; that when ladies would be passing these villains would intentionally stumble and collide with them. As we understand it a fair is gotten up to benefit the people. The farmer brings his products and his stock and shows to the world what he can get out of the earth; the manufacturer brings his wares and shows how well he can make articles for the market. The merchant is there to show how politely he can serve the people. The artist and men and women from every walk of life bring what they have produced and show it to the people. The object is to bring out the best there is in a people. This cannot be done unless there is a keen rivalry created among the producers. It can never be done—never—while white men are allowed to be on the ground and debauch our women. If the allegations are true we admonish our friends in North Alabama to be careful in the future. We know they will, for they are men as true to their race as steel. We do not mention these things to discourage any one, but because we believe they will be appreciated and will only spur the people on to greater endeavor. UP TO THE NEGRO. The Negro citizens of Nashville are confronted with a case that is the most perplexing they have ever had to consider, namely: The inability of the management of Greenwood Park to get the Street Railway Company to continue the electric car line up to the park gate. When complaint was made by the patrons of Mt. Olivet Cemetery about the crowds congregating in front of the cemetery gate the Railway Company was not long finding a way to satisfy these people. No one found any objection to the change that was made. The passengers who were en route to the park could not find objection because it carried them several hundred yards nearer the park, neither could they find fault with the complainants, as the scene in front of the cemetery did not present a spectacle in keeping with that vicinity. The Negroes did not like to stop at that point, but the car line stopped there, which compelled them to change from the cars to the wagons. It was a very awkward predicament, and all parties concerned were glad when the change came. The car line was extended and promise was made that it would be carried out to the park, but work was stopped suddenly and has been at a standstill for more than two years. Extensions have been made in nearly every part of the city except the line to Greenwood Park. The excuse offered is a lack of funds to do the work, but no one believes that. It may be true that a six million dollar corporation cannot spend a few thousand dollars to add to its system a good money-making line, but it will be a hard thing to do to make forty thousand people in Nashville believe it. But the extension has not been made and the Railway Company is not at all bothered about it. So it is up to the Negroes to provide conveyances of their own to and from Greenwood Park. The time to start making preparation is now, so that when Spring time comes there will be nothing to do but put the lines in operation. A transportation system can be conducted at good profit. No one knows that better than the men who haul passengers from the end of the car line to the park. We are not attempting to outline how such a line should be conducted nor what kind of power should be used, we are merely citing the fact that it is incumbent upon the Negroes of Nashville to provide for their own pleasure, in view of the fact that the Street Railway Company will not provide accommodations for them to reach the only respectable pleasure resort they have and that they will have to provide their own conveniences. We know that it can be done and that it would be a paying investment. OUR CITY PARKS. The Park Commissioners are reported to have purchased a site for a park in the northern section of the city. The plot is an ideal one, and is located in a neighborhood that is greatly in need of a park or playground. No aspect of a city's make up can be of more importance than the establishment and maintenance of parks. When the mind is tired and the body exhausted an hour or so in a park is of more value than all the drugs in the stores. Nashville has been deficient in her number of parks too long, and every citizen hails with delight this innovation. Parks are the people's property and every citizen has the same right to visit them. Thy are established and maintained by the people's money for the benfit of all. President Taft will have a chance earlier, perhaps, than he anticipated, to name a judge of the United States Supreme Court, and those Negroes who were advocating his cause during the campaign are holding their breath now since the press would have it appear that he is likely to appoint a Southern democrat to fill the vancancy. Much is being said because a few Negro deck hands in Memphis laid off from work to hear the result of the Johnson-Ketchel fight. What would happen if Jeffries should beat Johnson? The Brownsville affair is before the public again. The country would like to have this matter settled. Sentiment is with the soldiers, but what the Board of Inquiry will do no one knows. Tennessee is to be favored with a visit of that great leader and educator Booker T. Washington. The plan is to have him tour the state. It is hoped that the people of this state will give him a royal welcome. In the October number of the A. M. E. Review Bishop Holsey of the C. M. E. Church, argues for segregation. If the good bishop will find a place in the world where the Negro can go and the white man will not come, he will be entitled to the blue ribbon. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS Beware of any white man who loves Negroes better than he does white folks.-Atlanta Independent. The Independent ticket headed by a lot of ignorant Negroes failed to get under the "Log Cabin." It is said they will appear under the emblem of the head of Martyr Abraham Lincoln. We have always advocated every laudable cause, rights and privileges of the Negro, but when it comes to such a burlesque of the race by a few cheap white Republicans through some of the worthless trash of the Negro race, we would be less than human and deserved to be wiped off the earth should we fail to denounce this disgraceful fraud which is trying to be thrust upon and besmirch the character of the intelligent and better element of the Negro citizenship of this city and county.—Kentucky Reporter. The leaders in each community which is responsible for looking out for the interest of the public school should be composed of wide-awake men—men who are willing to give plenty of time to attend to the business which is necessary. The board should work with the teacher in every way possible so as to make the school session each year profitable. Much depends upon the earnestness of leaders in each community—The Reformer. There is nothing beyond the usual pro, nor con, in the Constitution of this State, still there is room for improvement. If one law is unjust and repealed, it is just to concede that others will go the same route; therefore the fight on the Constitutional Amendment to Article 9, Section 9. However, if Oklahoma expands into a great State she must lay aside the dwarf intellects that seek to run everybody and everything.—Oklahoma Tribune. THE GLOBE TRADING COUPON We Recommend That Our Readers Trade With The Merchants that Advertise in THE NASHVILLE GLOBE Cut out this coupon and present it when you go to make a purchase, and we guarantee you will always get a square deal. YOURS TRULY, NASHVILLE GLOBE. Keep Out. We know the tricks of the enemy so well that some time ago we called attention to the importance of our people keeping their distance from the police courts. Some of our pastors have, in their pulpits, called attention to the same thing, for from now on these Democratic justices will use almost any pretext to put the offending Negro in jail to a period past the day of election. Keep out of the justice courts. If you have any grievance with your neighbor, better let it go. Do not rush into court with it. You find the kick of the gun more damaging than the load from the barrel. Just a few days ago a man was brought before a police judge and in default of a trifling fine, he was locked up for twenty-seven days, just long enough to make him lose his vote. Keep out of the justice courts.—Afro-American Ledger. The Amendment. The amendment is still in popular issue in Alabama, and some able arguments are being heard from both sides. However much the amenders plead for their victory they will find in November that it is something more than common to change the American plan of doing things. We hope that the few Negro votes in Alabama will look well to their future in this coming election. It seems on its face to be a method planned to raid the homes of any citizen because of the feeling of one or two men supposing that some liquor is being handled.—Birmingham Reporter. COMMUNICATION. Foraker's Great Speech. To the Nashville Globe: Senator Joseph Benson Foraker in accepting the present sent to him by eleven colored miners in far-away Alaska and presented by request and on their behalf by a committee composed of distinguished colored Americans, and headed by Editor Geo. L. Knox, of the Indianapolis Freeman, and Rev. Dr. Edward L. Gilliam, a noted and scholarly Baptist divine, made one of the greatest speeches of his entire remarkable career. He covered himself with undying glory by his broad, deep and logical utterance, the sentiments of which will live as long as love for justice and fair play finds an abiding place in the bosoms of men. The speech is remarkable in that it was a clear and forceful review of the celebrated Brownsville episode; it is remarkable in that it shows that Mr. Foraker is as familiar and conversant with the facts to-day as when he was battering down the infamous citadel of trumped-up evidence and false testimony erected by Roosevelt's hired benchmen and conscienceless emissaries; it is remarkable in that it turns the calcium light on the devilish course pursued by the then President of this great Republic in his almost wild, silly and insane desire to make out a criminal case against innocent men to bolster up and substantiate his mad and wicked order disgracing and dismissing them from the army without even the pretense of the form or the sanction of law; it is remarkable in that it was the fearless utterance of a fearless man to a small audience of men representing a great and growing race to whom he owed nothing but his high-souled and humane good-will and his broad, all-embracing and comprehensive patriotism and protection, and it is remarkable because, seemingly it surpasses in concise grandeur and sublimeness his great and magnificent effort on behalf of the soldiers before the Senate Court of Inquiry. Mr. Foraker rendered a direct and immediate service to the accused men, but a service more far-reaching than that in that it will ultimaely be a bulwark of protection to every and all American citizens. With the prescience and clear vision of an able and consummate statesman he saw what it would mean to the spirit and genius of American liberty and law were those men allowed to be condemned and punished without a trial and by the mere will and word of the President. He knew that it meant the subtle undermining of the vital principle underlying the free institutions of the country, making it possible for the whole fabric, safeguarding men's rights, to topple to its fall. Like the brave man he is, he assumed the responsibility of the situation, and with a courage and ability commensurate to the task, met the Administration and its allies in the breach and checked their onslaught so effectively that his effort challenged the admiration not only of his friends—the lovers of justice and fair play everywhere—but those who were indifferent and had failed to see the gravity and danger of the President's course. President Roosevelt brought to bear all the influences and powers of his administration to shatter Senator Foraker's fight in the defense of justice under the sovereignty of law, but how signally the President failed is an open book to the world where everybody may read his motive—a motive that unduly possessed his soul and consumed his better judgment. No Executive of this nation, like a mailed, booted and spurred knight of old, ever rode down law and precedent with the same disregard and recklessness as did Roosevelt. He will not live long enough in this or Dante's world to outlive his connection with and the stain of the Brownsville affair. If it is true that conscience makes cowards of us all when we do that which we know to be wrong, then what a jolt will his receive in the far-off jungles of Africa when he reads Senator Foraker's scathing arraignment of him for the desperate part he played in trvying to fasten responsibility for a dangerous crime on innocent men. That speech will be a besom which will drive home his "chickens to roost" and lash his conscience fore and aft. Senator Foraker has done us, as a race, a direct service and the nation at large an ultimate and inestimable one, for which let his name gild the brightest pages of the annals of our common country and live on through the ever-revolving cycles of coming years as one of the greatest and most courageous and most masterful defenders of the most vital and sacred right pertaining to the welfare of all his countrymen.

OLIVE BAP- TIST CHURCH, A successful rally was conducted at Mt, Olive Baptist Church Sunday. It had been planned several months ‘ahead of time. The idea was to have ‘one hundred men as captains of one hundred clubs. No club was to have more than ten members. The pastor planned to put one thousand members to work and to get at least one dollar from each member. Although the re- sults were not definitely known, it was given out that quite a deal of money had been realized. One of the objects of the rally was to pur- chase a home for the aged, as this chureh already has what is known as the “poor saints’ fund,” and the results of this rally will add a great deal to this fund. bes SUCCESSFUL DRAMA. at Meharry Auditorium, and the house was full in numbers and high in ex- pectation. Under the direction of Miss Mamie Braden the University orches- tra furnished splendid music at the opening and between the acts, recely- ing splendid applause after the rendi- tion of each selection. ‘The curtain arose promptly at 8:15, showing Prof. Randles as “Mr. Ross,” the wealthy factory owner and phi- lanthropist, debating to himself how he should contribute to the society re- cently organized to care for unfor- tunate ex-convicts. He is interrupted by Mr. Dobson as “Dennis,” his Irish | servant, well tanked up, who wants to save his master from eternal pun- ishment. Mrs, Miller appears as “Ida Rhienhald,” a famous singer tired of stage triumphs before kings and prine: |, es, seeks Mr. Ross’ aid in getting | an audience with his bookkeeper, who |, is none other than Mrs, Rhinehald’s | daughter. She deserted her busband| and daughter for the stage during the| latter’s infancy, leaving her to an} aunt, who reared and educated her. Miss Fannie M, Banks appeared as “Mrs, Stearn,” the daughter, the looker and mother of little Hugo. Having been introduced to his moth er by Mr, Ross, the scene closed with a terrific denouncement by the daugh- ter, which is heartily applauded by the audience. ‘The second scene takes place in Mrs, Stearn’s apartment, which is a | neat attic in which Mrs, Wilmuth, an ‘| old German lady, resided also, and who ‘is the intimate friend of Mrs. Stearn and who constantly cares for little Hu- -| go.

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 being dropped from our list, which makes it a very opportune time to begin. Write at once to the CLARKSVILLE NOTES. Mrs. Jno.

At the St. John Baptist Church was held their fall rally last Sunday. Rev. Kirkpatrick had planned the rally very skillfully and the members and friends of the church were deeply interested. There were four deacons' clubs, and while the rivalry was keen everything was done in a spirit of the very best feeling. The amount realized was $43.06. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909. LOOKING THIS WAY. Slight and almost positive information was picked up this week which involves, in a large measure, the possibility of another publishing concern being located in Nashville, known as the McGirt Publishing Company, publishers and proprietors of the McGirt Magazine under the head of Prof. James E. McGirt, A. M., LL. B. Prof. McGirt was in Nashville some time ago, in fact, he was here twice during the summer, and it was then observed that he was quietly holding conferences with some of the leading business men of the city. At that time a Globe reporter interviewed Mr. McGirt, but he stoutly maintained that his visit here at that time was simply in connection with the great Sunday-School Congress Movement that was so universally talked of in the East, and which to his mind was one of the greatest gatherings of young people and Sunday-school workers that ever met and was purely an executive meeting and discussed only Sunday-school J. E. McGIRT. work and methods. Prof. McGirt stated then, however, that he considered Nashville the most advantageous point and the greatest publishing center in the United States. He said that, while it did not have the money market, with its liberal terms and low rates, close to it like Philadelphia and New York, yet the denominational concerns located in the city gave it a superior advantage over New York and Philadelphia, and that when it came to the geographical advantage, so far as his people were concerned, Nashville had no rival. But he would say nothing at that time about coming South except on those flying business trips that he usually takes. Later on Prof. McGirt was interviewed by a business man of Nashville during the session of the National Baptist Convention at Columbus, and at that meeting, while still admiring Nashville, he did not say whether he did or did not intend to put at least a part of his publishing concern within the confines of the state of Tennessee, he did admit, however, that he could reach a greater number of his subscribers and, no doubt, do a great deal more good by coming to Nashville than could possibly be accomplished in the city of "Brotherly Love." He said, too, that no inducement had been offered him by the Business League or business men of this city which is always the beginning or moving spirit in any concern or institution contemplating locating in a new state, county, or city. Prof McGirt is the author of many interesting books and stories and has wide publicity throughout the northern and eastern presses, while his magazine has been read by thousands of people, in fact, it is one of the few Negro magazines that continues to appear regardless of circumstances. Nashville has already secured one of the concerns from Philadelphia known as the A. M. E. Church Review edited by Prof. Kealing; and should the proper move be inaugurated there is no doubt that Prof. McGirt would, at least, have the post-office address and the mailing of his magazine and periodicals go out from Nashville, even though the better part of his time would be spent in the North and East where he is in close touch with old associates and financial centers. A personal friend of Mr. McGirt, when asked as to the truth of the rumor that Mr. McGirt would come South with the intention of locating in Nashville, said that he was not authorized to give out any information whatever, but that he regarded Prof. McGirt as being ready and willing to say at the proper time what he intended to do. CONFERENCE ELECTS DELEGATES. Nashville got two delegates to the general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church which is to be held next year. The Nashville men who were elected were H. J. Johnson and Rev. Chas. H. Phillips, Jr., M. D. The other delegates elected were R. B. Pope, Clarksville; W. H. Jones and W. T. McCrae. ANTIOCH UNITED BAPTIST UNION MEETING. The Antioch United Primitive Baptist Church held its last union meeting Saturday, and Sunday, Oct. 23 and 24, 1809. The meeting was opened Sat- urday at 12:30 o'clock in the usual form with a song and prayer by Mr. H. Beasley, after which Rev. G. Thompson took the stand, and preached a wonderful sermon from 1 Peter 11. The meeting adjourned to open again Sunday morning at 11 o'clock with a song and prayer by Rev. C. Crockett. Rev. J. L. Douglas conducted the meeting, then Rev. G. Thompson took the stand and preached a sermon from St. Luke 22: 28. Rev. R. Estleman delivered an able sermon Sunday night, after which the meeting adjourned. We had a glorious meeting and a wonderful success. BIG TIME (Continued from Page 1.) cally all of the plans and yet they were assisted by some very able directors, who assisted in raising the means and helped to execute well-laid plans by the officers. The board of directors consisted of the following: C. H. Ross, S. H. Hawkins, Dr. Archie Jones, Reubin Pearson, F. A. Douglass, Dr. W. E. Sterrs, Decatur; Henry Breeding, W. B. Carter, G. W. Patterson, J. M. Rice, W. H. Stewart, Ryland Jordan, Dr. A. W. Davis, B. P. Fearn, J. J. Sykes, W. S. Buchanan, John Mason, A. F. Sanford, Adolphus Love, J. B. Baker, H. P. Eggleston, L. J. Garth, Sam Miller, D. W. Beadle, Y. L. Horton, B. W. Moore. It is stated openly on all sides, and was apparent during the past four days, that much of the success was brought about by the co-operative efforts of the Woman's Auxiliary under the wise management of Mrs. D. S. Brandon, President, and Mrs. Kate Sheffey, Secretary. The absence of Miss Annie R. Hall, deceased, was a source of much regret. Mrs. J. W. Jennings, of Sheffield, is the vice-president; Mrs. E. D. Miller, of Athens, Treasurer of the auxiliary. The woman's auxiliary had charge of the second floor of the floral hall, where almost the entire space on one side was taken up with needle work and art exhibits. The auxiliary consisted of the following: Mesdames Lafayette Garth, J. J. Sykes, D. W. Beadle, Celia Love, Lula Bell, B. P. Fearn, Wyley Whitfield, L. H. Hundley, S. J. Dawson, Lottie Hewitt, Fred Carter, Mary Stewart, Sam Miller, E. L. Sykes, Lizzie Tatum, J. L. Kirby, W. S. Buchanan, Misses Pauline Jordan, Pearl Cowens, Ella Hawkins, Florence Bates, Lizzie Jones, Estelle Graham, all of whom contributed no little toward making the Second Annual North Alabama Colored Fair, which passes into history to-night, a tremendous success. Blue ribbons were in evidence all over the hall and grounds. The street car company handled the large crowds with despatch and courtesy. From two to four special cars were kept engaged during the entire time, carrying the people to and from the grounds, running an intervals of ten minutes apart. It is estimated to-night that about ten thousand attended during the four days. DEATHS. Polly Moore, 47 years, 707 Crawford street. Luther R. Peyton, 6 years, 10 Robinson street.

Jeffries and Jack Johnson will never meet in the fistic arena is indicated by an interview made public to-day between the Rev. J. M. Meek, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of this city, and Rev. J. H. Jeffries, father of the undefeated heavyweight pugilist, who is visiting friends here. Mr. Jeffries, who is a minister of the Presbyterian Church and whose home is in Los Angeles, was asked his opinion concerning his son's career as a prize fighter. Mr. Jeffries is reported to have said: "Life is all a big fight, one way or another, and it might as well be prize fighting as any other kind of fight." When asked as to whether his son would fight Jack Johnson, the Negro heavyweight champion, in the near future, Mr. Jeffries is said to have stated: "My son will never fight a Negro, and I don't think he will fight any other person again during his life." Last Friday afternoon the Walden Cubs and the team from Pearl High School met on Braden Field for their annual football game. Walden claimed a touchdown when Bibb ran about 50 yards through a crowd of spectators along the side line and placed the ball behind Pearl's goal. The referee refused to allow the touchdown and the remainder of the half was spent in arguing the matter. It was fully agreed to play the second half which was twenty minutes in length. The ball changed hands several times in midfield, but near the middle of the half Pearl got possession of the ball on Walden's 30 yard line and by a series of rushes in which her backs simply would not be denied, she succeeded in pushing the ball over for a touchdown. With a little while yet to play, the referee called the game on account of darkness. This game was very unsatisfactory on account of the continual wrangling that was carried on. It has therefore been decided to play another game and to play it on a neutral field where the crowd may be restrained and the playing field will be of regulation size. This game will be played on --- --- 8 SPORT. Gae to be Played Over. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909. Guarantee. Fisk campus on Saturday, October 30, at 3 o'clock p. m. This should be a very good game as the two teams are well balanced and almost evenly matched, with Pearl a shade faster than the Cubs. Pearl is still working hard for the Sumner High School game which will take place at the Athletic Park on November 6th. Enthusiasm over this game seems to be at its highest pitch. Sumner comes with a good reputation and a good team. She is heavy and fast. Pearl hopes to offset these with speed, a good knowledge of the game, and plenty of grit. Whichever way the game goes it will be worth coming miles to see. After the game, the local boys will entertain the visitors at Odd Fellows Hall. An enjoyable affair is anticipated. Read next week's Globe for the complete arrangements for the game. Meharry Football Schedule. The football schedule of Meharry Medical College for the season is as follows: October 16—Pearl High School at Nashville. October 30—Walden Literary Department, at Nashville. November 13—State University of Kentucky, at Nashville. November 25—Fisk University, at Nashville. The following are the old men of the team who will be seen on the gridiron this season: Jno. R. Scott, A. W West, L. E. Johnson, Hancock, Dickinson and Selby. Mr. S. S. Ransom, of the University of Chicago, will coach the team, and prospects look very bright. On Bennett Field. Fisk defeated the strong Knoxville College team 12 to 7 last Saturday. The game was a fine exhibition of football, and both teams put up a strong fight for supremacy. On the whole the Fisk boys put up a better game than Knoxville. They took advantage of every opening, and that tells the whole story. Fisk has a fast team, and one that will be heard from before the season is over. Several of the 1908 squad are missing, but coach Giles has fast developing new men to fill their places. Washington and Pavne both are doing good work this season. This Mr. "Buggitty," Jr., played some football OUR CONCERT LIBRARY. Saturday and deserves special mention. In fact, the whole team worked like a clock. Knoxville also has a fine team, and they will make trouble for some coach before the season is over. Their back field is as fine as has ever been seen. They have both the weight and the speed. In the first half Fisk clearly outplayed her heavy opponents, who were unable to stop the fast plays of the gold and blue backs. Fisk gained well on her plays; however, she was held near the 40 yard line and upon an attempt at a return punt Jackson carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the game. Afterward, Fisk kicked goal, score. 6 to 0. Knoxville kicked off. Then followed an exchange of punts. Knoxville made repeated gains through Fisk's line. Another punting duel ensued in which Fisk had the best of it. Fisk got the ball on her twenty-yard line and tried for a goal from the field. The kick fell short and Payne got the ball and ran for a touchdown. Fisk kicked goal. Score, Fisk 12. Knoxville 0. Knoxville came out in the second half much refreshed. Fisk kicked off to Knoxville, who began at once to rush the ball down the field and in a few minutes had the ball on Fisk five-yard line, when she lost it. Washington attempted to kick out of danger, but lost the ball on a bad pass and Knoxville scored a safety. Score, Fisk 12, Knoxville 2. The instant the ball was put in play again Knoxville began to show her best power; and by splendid line plays brought the ball in stepping distance of Fisk goal, and by aggressive playing, pushed the ball over for a touchdown. The goal was missed. Score, Fisk 12, Knoxville 7. Knoxville continued to show class and by splendid judgment and hard line plays she made long gains. Here she worked the forward pass-the best one executed during the game. Fisk tried it a number of times, but was never successful. The game closed with the ball near the center of the field. Knoxville played a better game than Fisk in the second half. The game was a clean exhibition of the sport from start to finish, the kind that the public likes to see, and hundreds will regret that they did not see the game. The officials handled the game like veterans, and every man of both teams conducted himself like a true sportsman. There was only one thing that was off a little. One of the officials was heard to make a remark that did not sound at all complimentary. On the whole the initial college game of the season was a grand affair. NOTICE. The Nashville Globe is constantly receiving lengthy obituaries from its many readers. We would like to publish all of them, because we know that the people expect to see them in the Globe, so in order to give each of them space, we have made a special price of 25 cents per inch for all these, in order that we might run them all without incurring their displeasure by having to leave out some.
