THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. IV. GREAT INTEREST IN NORMAL, AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL College For Negro Youth Of Tennessee. CONSENSUS OF OPINION SEEMS TO FAVOR A CENTRAL LOCATION—DAVIDSON COUNTY THE MOST CONVENIENT LOCALITY—RAILROAD FACILITIES BETTER THAN N ANY OTHER PART OF THE STATE—UNUSUAL ACTIVITY SHOWN IN ALL SECTIONS—SITE WILL BE SELECTED IT IS BELIEVED IN THE NEAR FUTURE—ADVANTAGES IN CENTRAL LOCATION. A careful canvass of the state by a committee interested in the establishment of an Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College for Negroes, as provided for in the bill which passed the recent session of the State Legislature for four normals, three for whites and one for Negroes, is bringing out, according to the report of this committee, the fact that all over the State of Tennessee the Negro is demanding that the normal for Negroes be of the greatest service to the largest possible number of students in location and equipment. It will be remembered that some have agitated for the past two or three years the establishment of this school. This agitation did not cease even when the legislature convened, and the continuance of the agitation brought about close and careful investigation into the educational affairs of the state of Tennessee which revealed some startling facts. This information was handed out in almost every quarter of the state with such constancy and such force that public sentiment was at once crystallized, and there was apparently nothing to do but have the legislature act in accordance with the will of the people which was plainly for the establishment of a normal, agricultural and mechanical college for, one-third of the state's population. The citizens throughout Tennessee who have been interested in and worked diligently for the passage of this bill were, it is evident, looking out for the educational advantages that were being denied this large population. The organization which was perfected in this city more than a year ago, known as the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College Association, was organized for the purpose of promoting the interest of the school and for securing favorable legislation along these lines. It now develops that the same organization has been quietly at work taking a poll of the opinion of the different cities in the state as to the very best section in which to locate this school. The result of the canvass as given out this week by officers of the association is very significant in that the unanimous opinion of the cities and citizens from Bristol to Memphis indicates that this school should by all means be located in Middle Tennessee. They go further than this in their unstinted expressions. They say it ought to be in Davidson County. They give as their reasons: first, that there will be but one Negro Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College and that every section of the state where there are Negroes must look to this one school for accommodations and advantages, and if it were located in the west the east would suffer, and if it were located in the east the west would suffer, while the middle of the state would get an advantage either way. But if located in the middle of the state Carter and Shelby could meet in Davidson; second, that the school ought to be placed as near as possible under the supervision of the state officials; that it ought to be in close proximity to the capital, where there would be no extra appropriation needed every two years for the much talked of junketing committee NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909. Places that will be visited by Booker T. Washington and a party of prominent men from different parts of the country and from every section of Tennessee on a tour beginning at Bristol, Tenn., Nov. 18th, and ending at Milan, Tenn., Nov. 25th. WEST TENNESSEE CONFERENCE COLORED. UNION CITY SELECTED FOR NEXT MEETING. Clarksville, Tenn., Nov. 8.—"As ministers of the gospel you are sent out to preach a gospel of peace and not confusion, and if you find that you must stir up strife between the races, then I advise you not to take up an appointment," were the words of Bishop H. Blanton Parks to the ministers of the West Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in making the annual assignments this morning.

One of the distinguished visitors who spent a part of last and this week in the city was Bishop James H. Carey, A. M., D. D., of Huntsville, Ala. Bishop Carey was here to attend the State Convention of the Primitive Baptists, which was in session last Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the St. Eli Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, South. His presence in the city had been expected by some of the leading Baptists for the past two months. The Bishop is one of the leading factors in the Primitive Baptist denomination. He is the newly-elected editor and secretary of the National Primitive Baptist Publishing Board, which is located at Huntsville, Ala., where this denomination purposes to build a mammoth publishing concern. He is also editor of the Primitive Baptist Herald, a weekly journal published at Huntsville. Bishop Carey succeeds Rev. C. F. Sams, who had become familiarly known in Nashville on account of his business connections. HALLOWE'EN PARTY. A merry hallowe'en party was given last week by the Week-end Pitt Club at the home of Mrs. Porter Streater, Murrell street, which was enjoyed by a large company of young friends. Throughout the house autumn decorations were effectively used. Music and games of symbolic character were enjoyed, and tempting ices were served from a table decorated with Jack-o-lanterns, fruit and foliage. NASHVILLE NEGROES AT THE TABERNACLE. Will Entertain the Washington Party Sunday, November 21, from 6:30 to 9:30 P.M. From what transpired on Wednesday night at a meeting called at 413 Fourth avenue, North, to consider the perfecting of arrangements to properly entertain the Tennessee tourists and the Washington Party, it can be safely said that Nashville is not going to be outdone, at least, that was the sentiment of the meeting, which was called to order at 8:15 p. m. About twenty-five men were present and they selected a general committee or formed an organization for the purpose of planning and carrying out such a general reception on the 21st of November as would properly represent Nashville. They elected Henry A. Boyd, President; C. N. Langston, Secretary, and Ira T. Bryant, Treasurer, and authorized the appointment of three committees, as follows: finance, arrangement and reception, to be composed of those who are not going on the trip and who will contribute both to the financial and general success of this occasion. The President spent a part of Thursday in seeing and telephoning some of the 'prominent business and professional men who should be extremely interested in the coming of this party, as well as the tour, but up to noon there had been no committees announced. It was apparent, however, that the event would be a marked success, as there seems to have developed a new policy of showing what the citizens of Nashville will do, especially when the reputation of the "Athens of the South" is at stake, "Who work may eat," would be the way some would put it, as the new plan of procedure, however, this may only be apparent, but one thing is true, that the men behind this entertainment will be expected to "make good" Nashville's fame. Mr. I. T. Bryant, of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union, the Treasurer, and Mr. C. N. Langston, of One-Cent Savings Bank, the Secretary, will receive the cash from those citizens who wish to contribute to the expense of the entertainment while the party is here and passing through. All of the committees will be named early next week, said Mr. Henry A. Boyd to the Globe, so that they may prepare for the work before them. The Ryman Auditorium will be used on Sunday evening for a special address by Mr. Washington and other prominent speakers from 6:30 p. m. to 9:30 p. m. No.45 EAST TO WEST WILL BE MARCH OF TOURING PARTY. Bristol Starting Point Milan Ending. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TO DO TENNESSEE IN FINE STYLE—EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY AT EVERY STOPPING PLACE—NEGROES OF VOLUNTEER STATE WORKED UP TO WHITE HEAT—ONE PLACE VYING WITH THE OTHER IN EFFORT TO ENTERTAIN DISTINGUISHED GUESTS — COMPLETE TIME-CARD .ALREADY MADE OUT. The exact schedule and complete itinerary of the special party that purposes in company with the Washington Party, to tour the Volunteer State ready. So much interest has been created since the last issue of the Nashville Globe, which gave a full account of the purposed tour through the state, at least that information which could be reasonably given out at that time, until it become necessary to give a full account of the trip with a time-card showing the date of arrival at the various stopping-places, telling the railroads over which the party will travel, and the exact hour that they are scheduled to reach the different places. This will be the fist special train of Negroes ever carried through the state of Tennessee on a trip of this kind. Already the interest from an educational point of view has gone steadily up. It is noticeable from this time-card and itinerary that the party will reach Nashville at 5:30 p.m., November 21st. Immediately upon their arrival here they will be given a special banquet, which will probably take place in the Odd Fellows Auditorium under the direction of a special committee of citizens who will remain here to look after the affair, and then a part of this delegation may embark on this special train and go as far as Hopkinsville and Clarksville, returning to Nashville in the afternoon. Hon. J. C. Napier is working with that same painstaking effort that has been characteristic from the very beginning, and he gives out this week that every city named on this itinerary is prepared to receive this party with open arms in the interest of the welfare of the state. The meeting that was held at the Harding Building Wednesday night was evidence conclusive that the people in Tennessee, and especially in Nashville, are wide-awake and in earnest. DEAN HUBBARD IN TEXAS Having been invited to attend the annual Medical Association of Negro Doctors, Dentists and Pharmacists, of the Lone Star State, Dr Geo. W. Hubbard, Dean of the Meharry Medical College, left this week for Houston, Texas, where the sessions will be held. He went by way of New Orleans and while in Texas will look after the Hubbard Hospital project as there are scores of Meharryites now located in Texas. They have planned to give Dr. Hubbard a royal reception, during his stay in their midst. He is expected to return early next week in order to complete plans for the winter work and to be on hand for Thanksgiving. MISS MASON HONORS AUNT Miss Jimmie Cable Mason hostess Wednesday evening of a charmingly-planned buffet supper in honor of her aunt, Mrs. Lettle Bright. The house was decorated effectively with palms, ferns and Jackson vine. In the dining-room, where buffet refreshments were served, a white and green color scheme was dominant. The guests were Mrs. Lettle Bright, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. James, Miss Fanny May Waters, Mrs. Brown McPadden, Mr. J. O. Sullivan, of Asheville, N. C., and Miss Irby M. Cable. ```markdown ``` WEDDINGS. Jackskon-McDowell. Mr. J. B. Jackson and Mrs. Mary McDowell were married last Saturday at noon at the home of her sister, Mrs. Amanda J. Pointer, 1303 Hynes street, Rev. A. L. Parks officiating. Hayes-Frierson. One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was that of Mr. Melvin Hayes and Miss Eloise Frierson Wednesday evening, November 3, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs Annie D. Frierson, 2006 Herman street. The house was beautifully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers, autumn tints being the prevailing tone. While the guests were assembling Mr. Roland Hayes, of Fisk University, sang, "Believe Me." Miss Sadie Harding played Mendelssohn's Wedding March as the bridal party entered as follows: First came the best man, Mr. James Frierson, then the maid of honor, Miss Clara Frierson, a sister of the bride, whose dress was of white mull, elaborately trimmed in lace with pink satin sash, carrying pink carnations, then came the bride beautifully gowned in white Messaline satin trimmed in allover lace and seeded pearls, with tulle veil. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. She met the groom at the altar. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Spencer Jackson. The bride's mother wore a black chiffon dress trimmed in lace medallions and jetted yoke. The bride's sister, Mrs. C. B. Robinson, of New York City, wore a beautiful gown of pale blue crepe-de-chone with satin trimmings. Other out-of-town guests were Mrs. M. C. Brown and Mrs. Joseph Frierson, of Columbia, Tenn. Owing to the serious illness of her father-in-law, Mr. R. E. Bell, of Topeka, Kans., sister of the bride, could not attend. Many valuable and handsome presents were received, among them being many pieces of silver and cut glass. Napier-Beasley. At 7:30 p. m. Tuesday evening, in the presence of a small number of intimate friends, Dr. J. Alonzo Napier and Miss Callie A. Beasley were married at the home of Prof. and Mrs. F. G. Smith, of 142 Fourteenth avenue North. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. Lake Imes, pastor of Howard Congregational Church. The bride is a native of Kentucky, having been in this city for several years. She was a teacher at Pearl School, while the groom is a prominent dentist, with offices in the Harding Building. He is the nephew of Mr. J. C. Napier and the son of the late Elias Napier. While the wedding was quiet, it was no surprise, as this young couple were known to be lovers of several years' standing. Dr. Napier finished school with the dental class of '09, Meharry, being the salutatorian. For the next few days Dr. and Mrs. Napier will be at home at 142 Fourteenth avenue, North. Congratulations from a host of friends have been coming in all the week. WM. A. McINTYRE TO WED MISS PAGE. The news came last week that Mr. Turner Page, of Chicago, announces the engagement of his daughter, Willie Hobbs, to Mr. William Arthur MacIntyre, of Port Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies. This bit of news created no little stir in society circles of Nashville. As soon as the tidings reached the city people began to recall that both contracting parties occupied prominent social positions in this city. Miss Willie Hobbs Page formerly lived here, as did her father, but they are now residing at 561 East Thirty-fifth street, Chicago. Miss Page was one of the original charter members of the H. T. G. M. Club, and although out of the city, her name still appears with that noted organization. She is a graduate of the Pearl High School and is related to Mr. Eugene Page, of the Railway Mail Service. Mr. William Arthur MacIntyre spent four years in Nashville as a student of Fisk University, taking his A. B. at that school with the class of '08. He is a native of the island of Trinidad, one of the groups of the West Indies, and has only been in the United States about seven years. During his last year at the university he was business manager of the Glee Club; and it was he who had the honor of addressing President Taft, who was then Secretary of War, on behalf of the students and faculty of Fisk when he laid the cornerstone of the Carnegie Library. Mr. MacIntyre is now in the law department of Harvard University, at Cambridge, Mass., where he expects to take his LL. B. The exact date of the wedding has not been announced, but friends state that it will be early in the spring or some time next fall. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909. RACIAL PROGRESS As Reported by the National Negro Business League. Between September 30th and October 20th local leagues have been organized in North Carolina in the following-named towns and cities: Sanford, Hamlet, Wadesboro, Laurinburg, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Kingston, Washington, Greenville, Williamston and Plymouth. J. G. Phillips, who follows the barber business in Sanford, N. C., has about completed on the main street a splendid two-story business block. While the colored population is not large, nevertheless they own town property assessed at $40,000, and in the county $200,000. R. J. Beverly, Wadesboro, N. C., is not only a business man but also a very prosperous farmer. He possesses several hundred fertile acres in Anson county. His cotton yield is not less than 300 bales annually, besides other products of the soil. He also owns a large grocery business in town, well stocked with the best quality of goods in that line, valued at between $7,900 and $8,000. His customers are not by any means confined exclusively to members of his own race, as he has the reputation of keeping in stock what any one may need when he is in the market to buy. In order to secure adequate school advantages for his children, a year ago he moved into town and built a fine residence. That and the site on which it is built is valued at $3,500. Walter P. Evans, president of the Local League at Laurinburg, N. C., is truly "a prince" among Negro merchants. Fourteen years ago he was running a small business here and in spite of the many obstacles which he had to face, he assiduously stuck to his business, and as the town grew he kept apace with its growth until now he owns one of the finest business blocks on Main street, flanked by the leading white merchants. It is a splendid two-story structure, with cream colored pressed brick. The dimensions of the building are thirty by eighty-five feet. On one side of the storeroom is the shoe department, the shelves filled with the best quality of shoes of every description; on the other side dry goods of different varieties; and somewhat in the rear, where there is an ell to the building, is the grocery department. There is, also, in stock a large quantity of stationery, etc. In a capacious lot back of this store is a coal and woodyard, where an engine is kept busy daily sawing up wood of different lengths to be put upon the market. In addition to these businesses, he has several teams on the streets, engaged in hauling for merchants and others who may need his services. On Saturdays, besides himself, he employs nine clerks in his establishment, and that many are insufficient to serve the customers who are from both races in the community. His other holdings include a large farm and valuable realty in town. There are also a few other members of the race here doing well in business, as, for instance, Messrs. Radcliff and Douglass on this same thoroughfare, who carry a large stock in groceries, dry-goods, etc., but Mr. Evans excels them all. BRILLIANT ARCHITECT BRILLIANT ARCHITECT. That Negroes are developing into first-class architects is more vividly brought out in the recent information that has reached Nashville. It will be remembered that in an article published in the Nashville Globe some time ago the names of several architects were mentioned, these created some surprise, for there were scores of well-informed Negroes throughout the country who did not know that there were competent architects in the race, who could plan and execute the most substantial dwellings, churches, business and office buildings. This information was in the nature of a write-up concerning the theological seminary which the Negro Baptists purpose to erect in Nashville. One significant feature about the article was that the promoters of the seminary purposed to have three Negro architects make plans for the building. One among the three mentioned was Mr. W. T. Bailey, whose ability as an artist in this special line of work is said to be increasing every day. Mr. Bailey is at the head of the Architectural Department of Tuskegee Institute, and if reports are true, his exceptional ability carries him beyond the regular school work. The building industry and the habit of getting homes that has lately come over the Negroes in the United States is forcing many development's and bringing out much talent in the race that hitherto was unknown. THE SLABTOWN CONVENTION. No more entertaining program has been rendered at the First Baptist Church this year than that which was witnessed Wednesday night when one of the clubs, under the management of Mr. S. P. Harris, gave what was CHRISTMAS TOYS The children are now clamoring for dolls that will resemble themselves. They are no longer willing to accept scare-crows and disgraceful figures. They have heard that there are Negro dolls for Negro children, and lots of them are going to get them. It is surprising to see just how eager they are for dolls of this special make. Your children ought to have one. It would be one of the finest testimonials of your faith, your confidence and your value of the race to let your child know that you are not ashamed for it to carry a Negro doll in its arms. We are offering in this issue of the Globe a full price-list of Negro dolls which are being sold in four different classes. Read the price-list over carefully, and in ordering please state the size, number and class of the doll wanted, and by all means give the size and price. Send in your order early and avoid the rush.

BOYD, President. known as the Slabtown Missionary and Educational Convention. There was lots of fun for old and young and the entire program was on the whole very suggestive and entertaining. The success of this unique entertainment was assured on account of the number of faithful workers taking part. Y.M.C.A. Rev. Lake Imes will address the Monthly Men's Monster Meeting Sunday at 3 p.m. at Howard Congregational Church. All men welcome. Good music. Meeting one hour only. The Y. M. C.

The Fleur-de-Lis Art Club met at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bostick Thursday afternoon, November 3, and was charmingly entertained. The reception-rooms at the Bostick home were elaborately decorated with ferns and autumn flowers. The following members were present and responded to roll call, with quotations from standard authors: Mesdames C. O. Hadley, A. G. Price, H. A. Cameron, J. W. Bostick, S. E. Griggs, D. A. Hart, S. P. Harris, A. N. Johnson, R. Moore, J. B. Singleton, A. M. Townsend and R. H. Voorhees. The honored guests were Mesdames H. A. Boyd and F. A. Stewart. A musical programme was rendered, after which an open discussion on the Cook and Peary controversy took place. Several clippings were read by Mrs. A. M. Townsend. The next meeting will be he'd at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Cameron. JOLLY EVENING. Miss Ellen Henderson entertained at her home, 513 Twelfth avenue, North, last Friday evening. Those present were Drs. H. G. Clayborne, McNeal Hopkins, Walter Bailey, John Hunter, Chas. Smith, Thos. Elston and Clifton Roper, Misses Montgomery, Bass, Edwards, Frierson and Henderson. Games and music were the features of the evening. A two-course menu was served, after which all expressed themselves as being highly entertained. SPECIAL PRICES ON NEGRO DOLLS. HILARY E. HOWSE.

NASHVILLE GLOBE. Miss Mary L. Clark, of Jo Johnston avenue, is suffering with an attack of lagrippe. Some months ago it was announced through these columns that the Penny Savings Bank in Birmingham has had its charter so unmended that it is now able to establish branch banks in every city of Alabama. We commended the idea at the time and predicted that the news would be received with joy by the colored people throughout the State. News has just reached us that a Branch Bank under the auspices and protection of the Birmingham institution has just been organized in Selma, and that the capital necessary for its establishment has been paid in. Its doors were thrown open to the Selma people Monday and there was great rejoicing. Among those who called to congratulate the promoters of the financial institution were the Mayor of Selma and the Editor of the daily paper of that city. While the visit of these two distinguished men is notable, it is not surprising; for there is a large and growing class of whites in the South who stand ready to assist and encourage the colored citizens in every effort for their improvement. We congratulate the Selma people and wish them abundant success in this new venture. We hope that Dr. Pettiford, the honored and efficient president of the Penny Savings Bank will come to Montgomery and that our business men will co-operate with him in the establishment of a Banking Institution in the Capital City.—Colored Alabamian, of Montgomery, Ala. MEHARRY NOTES. The members of the Y. M. C. A were blessed with a practical address by Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean. Subject, "The reign of law." In this he advised young men as to the best method of living the life required of them. It was indeed helpful to all. On Sunday night Dr. Hubbard left for Texas, where he will address the members of the Lone Star Medical Association this week. In addition to this, the doctor will make visits to neighboring towns in interest of the G. W. Hubbard Hospital Association. On last Friday evening a Japanese Tea Party was given at Napier Court in aid of the Dietetic Kitchen of Meharry Hospital. This was a decided success, the amount realized being $25.00 The Hospital staff desires to thank all friends who so nobly subscribed to this great effort. They also beg to inform their friends and well-wishers that anything along the line of dishes, etc., would be thankfully received. With Dr. R. F. Boyd as surgeon in Chief and Dr. J. E. Wells as Superintendent, the Mercy Hospital has reached a standard second to none of its class. This is the week when everything at Meharry is tabled, and all attention turned toward the surgical operations that are being performed by our distinguished Clinician, Dr. J. T. Wilson. For several days patients have been coming in from different parts of this state and other states. From this students will derive a vast amount of good. The following are the physicians who have come to the city both to bring patients and to witness the operations: S. Richard Moreland, of Owensboro, Ky., class 1894; Dr. A. C. McKissack, of Jackson, Miss., class 1907; Dr. L. H. Johnson, Summersville, Tenn., class 1909. We are also glad to have with us Dr. Thompson, of Marietta, Ga., a graduate of the class 1907, of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Dr. Thompson briefly addressed the different classes on Monday afternoon and congratulated all concerned in the great work that is being carried on at Meharry. Miss Geneva Williams, one of the Senior nurses at Mercy Hospital, who has been indisposed for the past two weeks, is at her post again. On Saturday at 2:30 p. m., rain or shine, the Meharry football team will come out in brilliant colors against the University of Kentucky, at Athletic Park. A large crowd is expected as this will be the first appearance of the team under the leadership of Mr. Ransom, its new coach. SOUTHERN THEATERS AND NE- GROES AGAIN. The Birmingham colored papers are waging a manly war against the tendency of the Negroes of that city to patronize the theatres owned and controlled by white people. This war should be waged by the colored press and pulpit throughout the South, as the actions of the Negroes in this matter are detrimental and humiliating to the entire race. Negroes who climb up some dark, filthy back way of the Southern theatres not only disgrace themselves, but they drag the whole race down to their level, and make the respectable of their people hang their heads in shame. In too many cases the leading women of our race dodge into these dark, filthy back ways, and climb up narrow stair cases and perch themselves up in the very top of the play house. There they are made to sit among thieves, robbers, drunkards. Negroes just from the penetentiary, and common prostitutes. Every respectable Negro woman ought to have too much self pride and to be too proud of the great race THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909. to which she belongs to thus disgrace herself. Colored men who sell these tickets for white theatres may make a few dollars for their personal use, but they are selling out, and degrading respectable Negro womanhood and doing the African race an injury that will not be easily repaired.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL MASS-MEETING. A new departure from the old way of interesting people in the Sunday-school was witnessed this week in the nature of the big mass-meetings that were held at two different churches. One of these meetings was held at the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, of which Rev. Moore is pastor, on Monday night. Almost the entire Sunday-school enrollment was out and there was also a large number of church members and visitors present. The program consisted mainly of addresses by Drs. R. H Boyd, N. H. Pius, Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, Rev. T. J. Lewis, Mrs. M Flowers and Superintendent Hudson, all of whom gave fine talks on how the work should be managed. A collection of about $4.00 was taken up. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served. On Thursday night the big meeting was held; although scheduled to be at Mt. Olive Church, it was held at the Spruce Street Baptist Church on account of the revival at the former place, and in order to give more impetus to, as well as to join another meeting, which was to be held at Spruce Street in the interest of the members who wanted to know more about the Teacher-Training Service, which was fully explained when the meeting opened. Since it was a joint meeting, Rev. Dr. Clark, of Mt. Olive Church, opened the meeting followed by a few remarks by Dr. Townsend, pastor of Spruce Street Church. These were the first meetings of this kind ever held here, and hence wide interest had been awakened. The large crowd present was soon shown what they were there for after invocation and singing by the combined choirs from Mt. Olive and Spruce Street Churches under the direction Prof. L. S. Gray. The object of the meeting was forcibly put by Dr. Clark. Others who spoke were Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., pastor of Spruce Street Church; Deacon Jas. Martin, of Mt. Olive Church; on "How to build up a class of men." As he has a Baraca class of 78 men, he logically handled his subject. Rev. N. H. Pius explained the need of trained teachers in Sunday-school; Rev. R. H. Boyd, who is always entertaining; Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, Superintendent of the First Baptist Church Sunday-School, who is an ardent worker; Rev. Lewis, Superintendent of Mt. Olive Sunday-School; Rev. Henry A. Boyd spoke on "How women can best help the men." He is teacher of the Philathia class No. 16, of Mt. Olive Sunday-School, with a membership of 50. Plans were laid at this meeting for the enrollment of the first class. As every Baptist church and its pastor had been invited, a greater number of them accepted the invitation. Among those accepting were Revs. John Slaughter, J. C. Harding, G. B. Taylor, L. Kirkpatrick, T. M. Moore, J. C. Fields, Jas. Ferrell, E. M. Merritt, Joe Kidd, H. Barnes and others whose names were not given. Most of these were present to lend their assistance and give their sanction of the beginning of a greater work in the Sunday-school under what will soon be a corps of well-trained teachers, who, when they get their diplomas with the National Baptist Seal and the International Seal, will be as competent as any in the work. Similar meetings are to be held in other parts of the city. MADAM ANITA PATTI BROWN Delights Large Audiences at Huntsville and Normal The enthusiastic audience which gathered at the Hippodrome in Huntsville, Monday night, October 25th, to hear Madam Anita Fatti Brown, of Chicago, was satisfied in every way with the graceful, attractive and pleasing program which was rendered. Madam Brown sang nine selections with perfect case and vigor, and never once losing the clear quality of her tones, which were sweet and forceful throughout. The distinctive and attractive feature of Madam Brown's singing is her clear and decided pronunciation. Each word of every song comes out clear and sweet. Every child in the audience can understand what she is singing about. This means so much with popular audiences, and even more among the critical than they are willing to acknowledge. The songs were all well suited to her voice and none of the notes attempted in the wide range which she covered were hard for her to make. She showed herself a master of what she undertook, and she captured her audience anew with every song. ARBOR AND PUBLIC HEALTH DAY IN TENNESSEE In preparation for a great observance State-wide in its scope, of Arbor and Public Health Day on Nov. 19, the office of Superintendent R. L. Jones and Dr. J. A. Albright were the king bee hives in the Capitol yesterday. County and city health officers throughout the State, County Superintendents of Schools, patrons and children are being almost deluged with a flood of literature from the offices of the State Superintendent and the State Board of Health. By mail and express, circulars, letters, pamphlets, programmes and everything needed to give local authorities the needed information and help in making the day a great one in the history of 1909 are going out by the hundreds and thousands. The public health feature of the proposed observance will be stressed as one of great importance, and teachers and officers are being told in many ways to tell the people how to avoid consumption. Besides the programmes containing Prof. Jones' proclamation and Miss Moore's suggestions of school improvement association work, hundreds of copies of Dr. Louis Leroy's book on pulmonary tuberculosis are being sent. Circulars on the subject are to be distributed among parents and children, and the campaign of education as noted in the Capitol yesterday is one of the most thorough and earnest ever pursued in Tennessee. Everything possible is being done to induce county school and health authorities to co-operate to stress the fact that consumption is contagious and preventable. Detailed information is given why both of these facts are facts. Fresh air, sunshine and cleanliness are given as the most potent factors in the success of attempted cures. Children and grown people are urged to take healthful exercise and avoid stimulants. No less than 250,000 printed leaflets containing the simple rules for school children have been printed at the expense of the State Board of Health and are being distributed with the suggestion that they be pasted in the backs of primers. Among these rules for the children are the following: "Do not swap apple cores, candy, chewing gum, half-eaten food, whistles, bean-blowers or anything that is put in the mouth." "Do not kiss anyone in the mouth, or allow any one to do so to you." "Do not put your fingers in your mouth." All indications point to a more general and enthusiastic observance of Arbor and Health Day in Tennessee schools this year than ever before in their history. BROWN UNIVERSITY REPORT. BROWN UNIVERSITY REPORT. The Globe received this week a copy of the report of the committee appointed to consider the possible changes in the charter of Brown University, located at Providence, R. I., one of the oldest educational institutions in the United States, which was presented to the corporation at its annual meeting June 17, 1909. There was with this report a pamphlet of general information concerning the school over which, it is alleged, the Primitive and Missionary Baptists split about fifty or sixty years ago. THE CALL TO LEADERSHIP THE CALL TO LEADERSHIP. No doubt but that a large crowd from the city and the entire student-body from the different departments of Walden University will be present in the Meharry Auditorium at eleven o'clock Sunday morning to hear Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., of Springfield, O., preach. He is known to be a fine talker as well as a good singer. His subject as announced will be "The Call to Leadership." Dr. Plus in going out to Walden, goes at the invitation of the university, which in keeping with their announced plans, propose to have some of the leading men of both races address the stu- dents. The services are held every second Sunday in the month. Dr. Pius will speak to one of the largest and by far the most varied student bodies in the South, for over 400 medical students, with about 200 literary students and the citizens who will no doubt be on hand, will put about 1,500 in the auditorium. Dr. Kumler, president of the University, has made preparations for a grand time at the school. THE GREAT RALLY.

NEW PRESS RUNNING. The new Scott's All-Size Rotary Press is now running at the National Baptist Publishing House. Numbers of visitors called during the week to see the new machine and were delighted at the speed and perfection with which the press was being operated. Three men are now required to keep up with it. CRISPUS ATTUCKS. Where shall we seek a hero, and where shall we find a story? If we sing the deed that was sown like seed when Crispus Attucks died. Shall we take for a sign this Negro-slave with 'unfamiliar name— With his poor companions, nameless, too, till their lives leaped forth in flame? Yea, surely, the verdict is not for us, to render or deny; We can only interpret the symbol; God chose these men to die— As teachers and types, that to humble lives may the chief awards be made; That from lowly ones, and rejected stones, the temple's base is laid! NEGRO DOLL CONTEST. What proved to be one of the most successful of a series of entertainments given by the members of the First Baptist Church, was the doll contest and parlor concert at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Green Hall, Jefferson street, last Friday night. An enjoyable program was rendered by Prof. Fred Work, Mrs. H. A. Cameron and Miss L. U. Chambers. The doll contest between little Misses Alberta Watkins and Geneva Johnson, of Pleasant Green Church, resulted in the latter's victory. She having sold over ten dollars' worth of tickets. The club, which is led by Mr. Hall and Mrs. Emma Battle, extends many thanks to all who contributed toward the success of their venture.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909. IN FALSE LIGHT. The Nashville Tennessee, one of the leading daily papers published, in this city, is from time to time attempting to convince the people of this state that the Negro voters of Tennessee are a lot of whisky-drinking, irresponsible hoodlums. In the issue of Nov. 6, under the caption "The Negro in Politics" that journal has the following to say: The defeat of the proposed amendment to the Maryland constitution is not a very great surprise. Baltimore and Maryland are largely under the influence of administration and Northern sentiment, and besides, the race problem is not so acute in Maryland as in other States farther south. One good resulted from the submission of the amendment—it gave President Taft a chance to show that he is out of tune with the Southern people on the question of Negro suffrage—as he is out of tune with them on most other questions that relate to their upbuilding and advancement. Aside from any question of religion or morality, but considered purely from a business, an economic, an industrial standpoint, the saloon is a curse to any State. Tennessee would have gotten rid of this curse in 1887 had it not been for unrestricted Negro suffrage. In 1906 the American said the saloon keepers were organizing the Negroes to vote against the regular Democratic ticket. In 1908 the Negroes were organized and were voted for the wilisky candidate for Governor. The same plans are on foot for 1910. Any plan to further restrict Negro suffrage would be fought by the Patterson crowd. They would join Taft in holding to the abolitionist's idea of Negro suffrage. The present election laws in Tennessee were designed to discourage the Negro from voting. They were laws agreed upon in Democratic caucus, if memory falls not; and any work on the part of the Patterson crowd to encourage the Negroes to vote is in gross violation of the spirit of the law agreed upon in the sacred Democratic caucus. Louisiana has felt the pall of Negro activity in politics—a pall that Patterson and his crowd, and Taft, would forever hang over Tennessee. For thirty years prior to 1898 (for three months preceding each State election) business was paralyzed and "men watched almost with bated breath to learn whether the white man or Negro would win." Had the contests been between the two races there would have been no doubt. It was the "bold, unscrupulous and lawless white men" who held to the doctrine that "to the victors belong the spoils" that organized the Negroes, as is now being done in Tennessee, to preserve the spoils. How the condition was finally remedied is told in another column on this page by the New Orleans States. ```markdown ``` THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909 As a result of putting the Negro out of politics, "peace, order and the reign of law have been substituted for turbulence and lawlessness, the moral standards of the people have been immeasurably elevated, the Negro is more contented, more law abiding." The superiority of the white race has been recognized and its supremacy established in Australia, India and South Africa. In organizing the South African Republic, England repudiated the reconstruction idea of 1865-67, as embodied in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and as held to by Taft and the liquor interests in Tennessee. Any one not familiar with the political conditions in this state might be led, by reading the editorial quoted above, to believe that fair Tennessee is in eminent danger of being wiped off of the map. But the people who stand for fair play, and who are the backbone of the state, those who constitute the progressive element, know that such is not the case. The attempt of the Tennessean to bring about unpleasant relations between the black and white people will fall short so long as the Negroes continue to stand up for the right. During the campaign the Tennessan refers to there was not a single overture made to the Negro voters by the Democrats to support the Democratic nominees. There was no need for such. The black men knew their choice and voted as they pleased. All of them did not vote the Democratic ticket. They were divided. The majority, however, voted for Hon. M. C. Patterson for governor and will do so again if he runs. The statement that it was whisky that influenced the Negro vote is not true. Thousands of Negro men supported Mr. Patterson who were strong prohibitionists before that election and are until this day. The Negroes of Tennessee are working hard to establish themselves permanently as citizens in this state, and they are succeeding admirably well. They are engaging in every branch of industry. The number of farm owners is increasing continually and they are learning the art of working the soil to an advantage. In the mercantile line cases can be cited that prove without a shadow of a doubt that Negroes in this commonwealth are making great strides in the business field. In Nashville there are business concerns owned and conducted by Negroes that the Tennessee solicits advertising from, and yet it would have all of these put out of existence; for it is a fact that no man can conduct an enterprise successfully in a community where he is being hounded continually. True, the assertions are false, but there are so many white people who do not know they are, and who make no effort to inform themselves that it makes the situation an aggravating one. The argument that the faction of the Democratic party in power now is endeavoring to turn the affairs of this state over to the Negroes and that this is being done for the purpose of aiding the whisky interests is the weakest plea that can be offered to the voters of this state. Every man has a right to vote as he sees fit. The laws of this state require voters to be able to comply with certain rules, and these requirements are that the voter must pay his poll tax, register and pick out from a long list of names the men he desires to vote for. If he can do these things he is justly entitled to cast a vote in every election, and the welfare of the state will not suffer as a consequence. REFORM SCHOOLS. There are from time to time coming before the public men who are the advocates of establishing reform schools for the redemption of the Negro youth, and it is only necessary to walk through the streets of any city in the South, or to be observant while passing through any community, to be convinced that there is a pressing need for such institutions. While it is true that the unfortunate children should be taken care of, it is equally true that the people have been the victims on many occa- sions of designing men who adopt the method of collecting money on the presumption that they are working in the interest of some home for orphans. A man who will do such a thing deserves the severest punishment the law can inflict. It is also incumbent upon the people to take the time to inquire as to the worthiness of such institutions before paying money to the individuals representing themselves as agents for them. THE STATE NORMAL The sites for the three normal schools for white people will be selected in the near future. The state has been canvassed thoroughly and the white people have shown that they are deeply interested in the proposed institutions. There is to be one normal established for black people, but so far little interest has been shown. Now, this school is going to be established, and if it is not located to the best advantage of the Negroes of Tennessee the blame will be on them. While American cotton is selling for fifteen cents in the United States other countries are discussing the possibility of raising their own supply at home. It seems that people in other parts of the world are learning the value of the white staple too. "Guilty as hell" is the sentence passed on one Mr. Williams by the Hon. Jeff McCarn, our able State's Attorney. How many years that sentence entitles one to serve in the penitentiary we do not know, but it goes without saying that the term would be a hot one. Senator Ben Tillman was as calm as a lamb when he met President Taft on secession soil. It develops that a pitchfork is not so dangerous after all. --- EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS Now let every Marylander, white and black, get together and help to make Maryland one of the best places to live on this mundane sphere.

Real Emancipation. As we prepare for a proper celebration of Lincoln's Memorial Proclamation which give to over four millions of our people freedom, so far as the curse of human slavery was concerned it would not be out of place, to think seriously of the word emancipation. Are we in the true sense of the word a free people from from the prejudices which tends to degrade us as a race, free from the contaminating influences of the world which would tend to destroy all the virtue in us. Has emancipation brought to us a love for our race above that entertained for others? Has emancipation freed us from that life of confidence in racial enterprises and in the ability of our people to conduct gigantic establishments and institutions often prevalent among the masses of the race? These are necessary questions and suggestions, in our material growth as well as in the substantial development of racial institutions. To some they may have just a shade or tinge of the pessimistic hue in them, but then we cannot see that 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.

Denies the Charge Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 4, 1909.—Editor of the Globe: In defense of the colored ladies of Huntsville and the management of the North Alabama Colored Fair, I beg space in the column of your paper to reply to yours in last issue, under the cantion. "Purpose of Fairs." The purpose of Fairs is two-fold; entertain and amuse, and to exhibit the best products of the people. As a matter of pecuniary considerations, all Fairs grant concessionary privileges to amusement stands, and generally irrespective of race or nationality. The North Alabama Fair is no exception; and for this alone the Fair management granted concessionary privileges to white and colored alike. If any undue familiarity or attempt to flirt with our colored girls on the part of these white amusement men on the Fair grounds which was distinctly noticeable, I am justifiable in saying that it was indulged in only by the ill-reputed and not our ladies, whose dignity and chastity was surrounded by so many gallant sons of Ham, who were ready to defy on the part of any villian, white or colored, even so much as flippancy. The care and protection of the disreputable in a heterogeneous crowd such as make up a Fair is by no means the duty of the management. The allegation that these white concessioners intentionally collided with our ladies is misleading and untrue, the practice of which would have brought about friction. Only the proper relation existed. Respectfully, H. J. RICHARDSON, Secretary North Alabama Colored Fair. World's Greatest Fistic Gladiator. Jack Johnson is still the world's invincible and most masterful gladiator. He sits enthroned in the upper-most seat of the fistic arena and that fact is irritating and driving some of the "boys in the other camp" into fits and spasms which border dangerously near the limbo of paroxysm and despair. They are hoping—the other "boys" are, we mean—that in Jim Jeffries they have found a fighter who can stem the torrent of Johnson's terrific powess, but it is that kind of hoping that has no faith in it. It is a weakly, sickly, puny sort of hope which is a paradox on caricature on the real, genuine article. Sentiment is a beautiful human trait, and especially is this true when it is born of a firm and abiding faith in one's capabilities. It has been a great developing factor, not only in the life of individuals, but of the national life of all progressive peoples. While this is true as here stated, yet this truth has, or is circumscribed by, limitations as affected by relative conditions and environments. But if Jeffries and his votaries think that his sentimentally-coined phrase, "I am going to restore the title of heavy-weight championship back to the white race," which phrase he takes every opportunity to exploit, he and they are reckoning without their host, Jack Johnson, who is as formidable, in a sense, with his fists as a Samson among the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Jim Jeffries is everywhere shooting off his parrot-like pyrotechnic that he is going to bring the title back to the white race, but verily it may be said that Jack Johnson will be on hand to see to it that he does not make his vauntings true. Such is the proclamation that has been sounded from the Johnson megaphone. His edict has gone forth that Jeffries must bite the sawuast on the areneic floor when they meet, and, he says, and smiles happily the whie, that said edict will not return to him void. There are some newspapers with the petty spleen and spitfulness of irate schoolboys that impute to Mr. Johnson the use of bad English, the "dis and dat" dialect, they are miffed and piqued at nim because of the stupendous and world-known fact that he is the greatest fistic gladiator of the world. "Miffed" and "piqued" are effeminate terms eminently suitable to the gnauty little spitfulness of such newspapers as essay to gibe or poke fun at Jack Johnson by a gross misrepresentation of his language. Ewen their puny attempts at fun at Johnson's expense are in bad taste in the face of his quoted language as chronicled by some of the big and great papers of the country. Mr. Johnson's English is on a par with any, and superior to most of that class of men who follow pugilism as a profession. The following is a sample of his language in speaking of Jeffries at the New York meeting as reported in the columns of such a paper as The Cincinnati Enquirer, Tuesday, November 2: "Jeffries did not speak to me at all, and I didn't expect him to. If what has been said about his feelings is true, then he surely is sore, and as I didn't go into that meeting to make friends with him I am just as well satisfied. "It will serve my purpose just as well to have him good and mad when he enters the ring. He will get a worse licking than he would ordinarily if that is the case. A man erraged cannot show good judgment at any time. "There is one thing that I am delighted with. I have shown my sincerity in making this match, and thereby unarmed all of the critics who have been berating me for cowardice and the like. The fact that I went clear across the continent when I should, by all that is right and just, have forced Jeffries to come to me, has disarmed all of those fellows who swore that I never would screw up the courage to face Jeffries, even for the purpose of signing articles. I found there was nothing so terrible about Jeffries at all." If the above is dialect, then the King's English is in sad need of revision or overhauling. This is all-sufficient to brand properly the newspapers exploiting the "dis and dat" canard. Enough said on that score. Mr. Johnson showed himself to be the equal of any in the negotiations pertinent to the match between himself and Jeffries. Naught escaped him. He saw to it that Jeffries' name on those papers should trail in the wake of his own—Johnson-Jeffries. This manly preparedness and insistence may be the inspiring cause of the "dis and dat" flings of a certain class of newspapers.

"No Man Who Is Ashamed of Himself or His Race Will Ever Be Respected." "No man who is ashamed of himself, or his race, will ever be respected, and my people must climb in this country by being true to themselves, true to their race and true to their God." was the declaration made by Charles Stewart, D. D., Monday night at St. Paul A. M. E. Church in addressing an audience of some of the leading colored people of Nashville. Dr. Stewart came to Nashville on invitation from the Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who formerly pastored a large church in Chicago, and who is a personal friend of the noted Negro newspaper correspondent. Dr. Brooks presided and made the opening prayer. "The Negro is fast reaching the place in life where he is paying attention to his own great men and women. He seeks to build them up and not tear them down, and this is a good sign," said Dr. Brooks. "Our guest this evening is known this country over and by his manner of conducting himself has won many friends among the white press of the South. He is recognized the press agent of his race. We are glad to have him here." Dr. Stewart said in part: Dr. Stewart said in part, "We believe in the survival of the fittest because it forms a part of our very make-up, a part of very being. In common with other American citizens we are anxious to know who wins each game day after day, because we believe the best team should win, and it must win, and we are determined that ours shall rank with the best. We live in a country where they hang members of our race without trial, yes, where they burn them at the stake, but we are not discouraged, because we believe that the time will come when white mer and black men will meet face to face and settle their differences under the influence of the religion of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. "I am not here to abuse any section of the country nor any of its people, nor am I here to praise any section of the country or any of its people, but want that we shall view together 'Uncle Ned and His Son.' In the early settlement of our country we have two distinct types of civilization, one the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, the other the early settlers along the James River in Virginia. At Plymouth liberty unfurled its banner radiant with hope and good cheer, and Jamestown slavery unfurred its banner dark with despair. "To the man who will conduct himself friendly will have plenty of friends. We have many friends right here in the South. It is not necessary to leave the South in search of friends, for I am sure we can fare here as well if every man will do his duty. Let us stay close to our white friends right down here in this place, right here in the South, for it is the white man of the South who must protect us if we ever get them among us. We must oppose crime and criminals. "Tell it so that all the world may hear—print it in heaven's blue, so that he who runs may read, that Uncle Ned's son will frown down, cry down, hunt down and strike down this crime and these criminals, until not one shall be left in all the land, and a black face shall be a badge of truth, honor and integrity, and peace, of protection to the innocent. "This country is full of opportunities and our young men should take them up. Take hold of the things which will make you in life. "Let us give the world a few more Booker T. Washingtons, a few more R. F. Boyds, a few more Preston Taylors, a few more J. C. Napiers, and many whose names time will not permit me to mention. Nashville has furnished its part of great Negroes and continues to do so. "Young men, it is now up to Under Ned's son to purchase land. Every Negro should own a home, and then he should at least have money enough in the bank to bury himself. I am proud that we are so-day producing bankers. Two Negro banks in Nashville mean something for the Negroes here. Dr. R. H. Boyd is President and Hon. J. C. Napier, Cashier of one, with Dr. R. F. Boyd and T. G. Fwong President and Cashier of the other. Get busy, young Negroes, or you will have to get off the earth. You will have to find the North Pole or some other pole for refuge. This is a busy age, and you will have to keep moving or he crushed." Dr. R. F. Boyd delivered a short address last night in which he commended the speaker and declared every colored man and woman in town should have heard the address. THE LADIES AID SOCIETY.

And never before has there been a year in which they have manifested so deep and cordial an interest in the work.

CATHEDRAL THE LADY'S LOVE Tennessee. 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 being dropped from our list, which makes it a very opportune time to begin. Write at once to the Mrs. Abram Martin was in Chattanooga recently. Mrs. A. H.

Addis Abeba, Abyssinia, Oct. 30—Emperor Menelik was stricken with apoplexy on Thursday night. His condition is considered precarious. Berlin, Oct. 30—A dispatch to the Tageblatt from Addis Abeba says that King Menelik's condition has suddenly become worse. Apparently he is suffering from an apopleptic stroke, and his death is considered near. The patriarch has anointed Prince Lidj Jeasu, grandson of the king and heir apparent to the throne, in the presence of the ministers, in order to be prepared for any eventuality. Ras Tessama, the viceroy, has been appointed and confirmed as guardian of the prince and regent. Menelik II., Emperor of Abyssinia, one of the most remarkable men of modern times, ascended the throne in the midst of the greatest trouble, and in the face of the blackest of obstacles; but his determination and enterprise brought conditions to his country such as his subjects had never enjoyed before. Born August 17, 1844, he was called to the throne when but 22 years old. AN ANCIENT KINGDOM. Abyssinia, the Ethiopia of the Old Testament, which with China enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest states in the world, is composed of a series of kingdoms, and the entire country is ruled by the strongest of these kings. Menelik, when he first assumed the throne, found his principality in a weak condition, but it was only a few years until he was declared king of the entire country. The Italian government, by 1889, had gradually annexed, bit by bit, the entire country, and Italian soldiers wore sent in that year to take possession of the entire territory. Petty jealousies and squabbles existed between the various rulers, and it had, up to that time, been impossible to induce them to band together against a common enemy. DROVE OUT ITALIAN ARMY. It was at this juncture that Menelik made his appearance. He called upon his fellow-monarchs, and the country, to a man arose. An army of 145,000 was raised: In 1896 the Italian army, a modern one, met the Abyssinian forces and was forced to retreat, leaving 30,000 invaders dead on the field. From a despised "Nero chief" Menelik in a day became the equal of European sovereigns. Menelik has since proved as successful a ruler as he was a general. His army has been improved, the country has been opened to trade, railroads, and improvements, and the old-time wars between the subordinate kings has been done away with. He married Taitou, a member of one of the oldest families in Abyssinia in 1883, and has one child. MUBEREESBORO NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. McBroom entertained a host of young friends Friday evening in honor of Miss Mattie McBroom, of Readyville.

During the closing hours of the last session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee a sensation was sprung that caused quite a flurry in the ranks of the Order and among their friends as well. It will be remembered that the white Pythians of the state filed an injunction against the officers of the Grand Lodge to prohibit them from holding the meeting. That matter was soon adjusted in a way to allow the Grand Lodge to proceed with their business. It was thought by the people that the Grand Lodge would then work without further disturbance. But another storm was soon imminent, and threatened to be more damaging. A dissatisfied faction attempted to stampede the meeting and went so far as to call in the county sheriff. No one was arrested, however, and the session wound up its business in regular form. The warring elements did not surrender their claim, but appealed their case to the Supreme Court. On Thursday of this week the Supreme Chancellor, Hon. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, La., and Supreme Attorney, S. A. T. Atkins, of Chicago, Ill., were called to Nashville to settle the case. The session lasted all day Thursday and late Thursday night, but finally resulted in an adjustment of the differences in a way satisfactory to all parties concerned. This will be good news to the people of this state, and particularly to the members of the Order. The Order of Knights of Pythias is a strong organization made up of substantial people, and under the leadership of Dr. J. P. Crawford, of this city, has in twelve years grown to a rank of first magnitude. HALLOWE'EN PARTY. The hallowe'en party given at the home of Mrs. Anna Hough, of Fourth avenue, South, last Wednesday night by a number of East Nashville young people proved a delightful occasion. Each one was attired in hallowe'en costumes. Games were enjoyed and at a late hour dainty refreshments were served. Those composing the party were Misses Anna Robertson, Viola Hough, Sadie King, Laura Fisher, Jimmie Elinston, Frances Robertson, Iola Perkins, Messrs. Pitts, Frank Sylvesters, S. Allen, J. Moores, James Pennington, R. Welters James Williams, J. R. Scott, H. Clark and Mr. and Mrs. Oden. Mrs. A. M. Kelly, of Columbia, is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Jr., of Bass street. Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Jr., of Bass street, is improving quite rapidly after several weeks' illness. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1909 SPORT. PEARL SMOTHERS SUMNER. Pearl's football was gilt-edged Saturday from start to finish and the Sumner High School team, of St. Louis, was smothered by a score of 21 to 0. Never during the same time was Pearl's goal threatened and with perfect teamwork and steady playing she carried the ball through Sumner's line and ran her ends at will. It would be hard to name any one who could be called a star of the game. There were eleven stars, all making the crown of their coach illuminate the more on their playing executed. They showed that they had been well coached, their play being executed with machinelike decision. Pearl was especially brilliant on end runs and on her interferences. They were fast and accurate in executing their plays. There has never been a team carried on the gridiron in this city that put up a better and cleaner exhibition of football. They were outweighed by the boys from the metropolis of Missouri, but this counted for nothing when the Cameron machine got to going. They were simply too fast for the visitors and before Sumner could get her line in tack the Cameron-Tigers would be around her ends or plunging through her lines for gains of 10, 15 or 25 yards. The result was never in doubt, it was only a question of what the score would be. Fully one thousand people witnessed the game and they cheered and cheered again until they were all hoarse and drunk with jubilation. Sumner came to Nashville with a great reputation, having defeated the high school of Louisville two years in succession, and up to November 6, 1906, were the undisputed champions of the preparatory schools south of St. Louis. Pearl remembered the decisive defeat administered to them in St. Louis a few years ago and they determined to reap vengeance on their opponents, but no one dreaded that they would smother them so unmercifully. It was a great game from the Nashville point of view and all critics present were compelled to admit that it was Pearl High's superior playing. The one weak point developed in the Pearl team was their kicking. Every touchdown made was directly in front of the goal, but one attempt was successful and that would not have been had the St. Louis players used good judgment and kept their hands off the ball, but football must have some luck as other sports, and in this instance luck was with Pearl as a Sumner man touched the ball just sufficiently to make it bound over the goal pole. This game is growing in popularity from year and promises to eclipse any football contest that is played in Nashville. It must be said, however, for both teams that they were true sportsmen, no wrangling being indulged in by either side. The boys from St. Louis lost, but they took their defeat manfully. The line-up was as follows: Pearl High. Position. Sumner. Duncan .....Left end .....Brown Allison .....Left tackle .....Voorbies Williams .....Left guard .....Staten Anderson .....Center .....Moten Caldwell ..Right guard ..Freeman Whittaker ..Right tackle McClellan Duncan and Waddy ..Right end ..Bradshaw Johnson ..Quarterback ..Fearnce and McDowell and Bradley Hurt .....

Purple and White Spring a Surprise. The greatest event of the present football season was the drubbing given Walden University on Braden Field, Walden Campus, Friday, November 5, by Roger Williams. Score—Roger Williams, 6; Walden, 0. There was not the slightest anticipation in the mind of the football expert, nor the most ardent fan that the tide would have turned in favor of Roger Williams. But since the results of football games are based upon the knowledge that each team has of the game, it was clearly demonstrated that Roger Williams outclassed the fast Walden squad in point of team work. Otherwise the two teams were more or less evenly matched, with Roger William aslightly the favorite on the defense. It must be remembered, however, that the fight spirit exhibited by Walden throughout was something wonderful; and yet that spirit was only repulsed by the tenacity and aggression of the boys from the forest.

Argilaceous formations are perhaps the only soil shunned; but humid loam and spots bordering along marshes and even the marshes themselves yield abundant returns. The Corkwood and some other trees are sometimes regarded as indications of the highly productive quality of the spot upon which found. As soon as a spot is chosen the tufty undergrowth is cleared, and this part of the work continues until the average size of the farm, which is usually from 25 to 100 acres, is encompassed. Here the communistic life of the natives comes into full play, besides a man's own children, he usually has at his disposal youths—they may be married or unmarried—who work at his farm without price and without money. Some who are married, yet have not had their own houses built but reside with the head of, or some other elderly person in, the family, throw in their quota of work, as also do their wives, with the person in whose houses they reside, their only reward being that they also partake of the proceeds of the farm. The attention is next turned to the felling of trees which erstwhile had been passed by and now resemble a splendid vista with the bushes cleared around them. This is regarded as an independent season in rice-farming, and occupies ordinarily a month or a little over. The implements used for farm cutting are a bill-hook, a prong, from the branch of a tree, which is thrown around a small clump of bush so as to hold it in a position favorable for cutting with the bill-hook; and the hatchet or an ax used for felling trees. The farm is then allowed to dry in the March sun till its latter part, when fire is set to the dry bush, thus sending up volumes of smoke and flame. It was the sight of this imposing scene that attracted the Carthaginian travelers of antiquity, who regarded it a part of the marvellous, as they glided by in their little crafts. The Planting Season. After the fire the men who until now have carried out the greater part of the work single-handed, are joined by the women in preparing the ground; and then the farm is turned over to the women for planting. This is done by means of a short, spear-headed implement, which is thrust down into the soil so as to make a hole not more than an inch deep to receive the seed.

ISBELL BLAKE, Physician ico plunged Walden's line at will there is no doubt in them inds of those who were present. Halfback McConico broke through Walden's left tackle and ran forty-five yards for the first and on,y touchdown of the contest. The game was clean and largely attended by the lovers of this college pastime. The feature of the game was the fierse tackling of the backs of Roger Williams especially Quarterback Davis who never missed a man. --- GREAT INTEREST. (Continued from Page 1.) or trip to investigate the condition of the school after it had been established, thus keeping the expense of the institution at a minimum; and last, but not least, these leading men throughout the state, men who have no selfish motives, men who are willing to sacrifice any personal desire to foster the interest of the race, say that if the school is located in the middle of the state it can have a superior advantage because of the educational facilities enjoyed by Middle Tennessee. This committee, so it is being reported, will carry these claims and propositions to the proper officials of the state, showing just how the people of the state are watching and waiting for the correct and advantageous location of the institution with as inviting surroundings as the times demand. But few Negroes in the various cities are making any claim. Hardly more than two or three have broken away from this general rule and attempted to make any request for the location of the school, as it has always been understood that the East, like the West, and the West, like the East, will surrender its claim and bow to the fortunate section of the middle of the state wholly in the interest of the needy people that this school will serve. RICE CULTIVATION IN LIBERIA. The cultivation of rice is done principally among the aboriginal tribes of the country, by whom it is regarded as the most important occupation of their lives. One crop is usually raised during each year; but the more interiorward tribes, say, those at the interior of Cape Palmas, manage to get off three crops during two years. The time for planting is generally in April and May, and the harvest gathered usually in August.
