Tennessee has been ablaze with brilliant oratory for the past eight days. The leaders of the race have been together in the Volunteer State giving wholesome advice which means much for the furture of the Negro. The gospel that has been preached, from HON. A. N.

The revolving of this entire project, which has gone on with clock-work precision, had its inclency in Nashville and is easily traced to one of its leading citizens. As a result when the special train bearing the Tennessee tourists, composed of business and professional men in company with the Washington party, arrived in Nashville Sunday afternoon at 5.20, the greatest demonstration, the biggest ovation and the most genuine and hospitable reception that has ever been accorded the Wizard of Tuskegee by the people of Nashville or Middle Tennessee, was witnessed during the stay of the party here. A reception committee, consisting of about twenty-five enterprising men, was at the station. There were a dozen well-drawn carriages and a great big automobile in which these speakers and tourists were quickly ushered. They were taken to the Delmonico Restaurant where a repast (a six o'clock dinner) was served. Covers were laid for sixty people, including the Washington party and tourists, who were the guests of the occasion, and the general committee. It was just a plain supper prepared by the big-hearted people of Nashville and arranged by the reception committee. While no program had been prepared and no attempt was made to desecrate the Sabbath, enthusiasm was so high and patriotism too genuine to prevent REV. HENRY ALLEN BOYD, Chairman Local Committee, and Master of Ceremonies at the Auditorium Sunday night. No. 47. TRIUMPHANT MARCH THROUGH THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. Great Crowds Greet The Party. ONE STATION VIES WITH THE OTHER IN DOING HONOR TO DR. WASHINGTON AND PARTY AT EVERY POINT THE PEOPLE RECEIVE THEM WITH OPEN ARMS-FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP CITY OF BRISTOL TO THE METROPOLITAN CITY OF MEMPHIS THE PEOPLE LISTEN EAGERLY TO THE WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE TUSKEGEE WIZARD-TOUR CLOSES AT MILAN THANKSGIVING DAY. On the afternoon of the 18th of this month at 1:25 p. m., in the historic town of Bristol, Tennessee, Dr. Booker T. Washington and his party of gentlemen, consisting of several of the most prominent business and professional men of Tennessee and a few visiting gentlemen from other states, started REV. R. H. BOYD, One of the tourists. REV. R. H. BOYD, One of the tourists. on a tour that may aptly be styled an industrial inspection. Mr. Washington had on other occasions toured several of the Southern states, among them being Arkansas, Mississippi, Virginia and South Carolina. It is conceded by all who have visited these states since he made the trips that [Picture of a man in a suit with a white shirt and a dark tie. The background is a solid black oval. The man's face is centered, and he looks directly at the viewer. The image is monochrome, with black and white tones. There are no visible texts or distinguishing features.]] there is a greater activity among the colored people, especially along business lines; and there is a better feeling of friendship between the white and black people. A few of the men of the state, of Tennessee decided that it would be of great value to the peo- 紫 ple of this state to arrange such a tour as has been carried out during the past few days. So, on scheduled time, at 1:25 p. m., November 18th, the city officials and citizens of Bristol started Mr. Washington and his party on their tour with a rousing reception that encouraged them to believe that the trip would be a great success. From Bristol the party went to Johnson City, arriving there at 2:35 p. m., of the same day and very much M. B. REV. C. H. CLARK, D. D. Pastor of Mount Olive Church, one of the tourists. to their delight, their expectations were more than realized. One hour was spent at Johnson City, the train pulling out at exactly 4:35, and 5:40 found the party at Greenville. Here a large crowd was awaiting them and they remained at this place until 10:30 that night. A most cordial greeting was tendered the party and the people showed deep interest in the words of wisdom spoken by Mr. Washington. November 19, 2:30 a. m., found the party in Knoxville. They did not leave the train until daylight, when the celebrated Knoxville band, leading a party of citizens, augmented by the students of the Knoxville College and the public school children, went to the station to meet the party. The gentlemen were made aware of the fact that vehicles were in waiting to convey them through the streets of the beautiful city of Knoxville. This proved to be a most delightful occasion for every member of the party. An audience of nearly two thousand greeted the speaker when he arose to address them at the appointed hour, and he was interrupted from time to time by applause. The train pulled out from Knoxville at noon, arriving at Harriman at 2:30 p. m. Here the train was met by Prof. Oveltrea and a large delegation of the citizens of Harriman. After remaining at this point three hours, speaking to a large audience and enjoying the hospitality of the good people of Harriman, they left for Chattanooga, the great historic center, arriving there at 8:10 p. m. The eyes of the state [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. President and Editor of the Nashville Globe, Chairman of the Finance Committee. had been centered upon this point from the time the journey was begun, for it is known to all that the business and professional men of Chattanooga are always striving for the mastery. They wear the inscription "Excelsior," on their banner at all times and when they are defeated, never despair for a moment but simply rally their forces for another charge. On this occasion the people of the mountain city held up their reputation in an excellent manner. The largest crowd that had greeted the party since they started was seen at this point. Between three THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1909. and four thousand people listened intently for nearly two hours to the sound, common-sense argument of Dr. Washington; and when he finished the address, they did not show signs of tiring. On November 20th, at 7:00 a. m., the train was headed for South Pittsburg, where they arrived at 8:30 a. m. The people of this town also have a great deal of pride in their home and are ever striving to hold up its reputation. They were equal to the occasion on this memorable day and gave to the party a most rousing reception and an audience far beyond expectations for a place of its size. The party left South Pittsburg at high noon headed for Columbia. Short stops were made at Decherd, Winchester and Fayetteville on the way to Columbia, and at each place large crowds had assembled to hear the distinguished orator and philosopher. All along the line from Decherd to Columbia the people seemed to know at just what time the train would pass each station, and they were out in large numbers to give the chau-tauqua salute to the party as they sped by. Columbia was reached at 6:30 p. m. on the 20th. The party remained at that point until 8:30 a.m. the next morning, when the train pulled out for Pulaski, which was the most southerly point to be visited on the L. & N. line. This being Sunday, everybody had an opportunity to turn aside from their daily avocations and give to the party a brilliant reception; and they did honor to themselves. Never in the history of Giles County has her county seat witnessed such a scene as that of Sunday, November 21st. Ample arrangements had been made for the reception and entertainment of the party. It was a beautiful day which permitted the speaking to be held out of doors and under the bright skies of southmiddle Tennes- A. H. MR. C. N. LANGSTON, Teller One-Cent Savings Bank, Secretary of the Local Committee. see. The people seemed to have caught the inspiration and were out in large numbers. Mr. Washington was at his best on this occasion and apparently delighted to see so many out and everybody in good spirits. He spoke fully two hours, and when he had finished it could be heard on all sides coming from thousands of throats "Go on! go on!" but the time would not permit, as the train was scheduled to leave Pulaski at 2 p. m. for Nashville. They arrived in the capital city at 5:30 p. m. on schedule time, leaving Nashville the next morning at 7:30 a. m. for Springfield. The capital of Robertson County was reached on the morning of the 22nd at 9 a. m. Here a scene met the eye that has never been surpassed in the history of the county; school children, at ages ranging from seven years upwards, were lined up at the station, each child carrying a United States flag. They represented a beautiful scene. A brass band led the way followed by a stream of happy, cheerful children. When the line of march was arranged, the principle streets of Springfield were gone through before the speaking was begun. The auditorium was packed and equally as many were unable to gain admittance. Here, as on other occasions, the people received the information imparted by the speaker with intense interest. Leaving Springfield at 1 p. m., the party ran into Hopkinsville at 2:30 p. m., one hour ahead of time. A heavy rain was falling, so the party was sidetracked until the hour set for the parade to begin. Old Kentucky had to show her true spirit in spite of the fact that the weather was very inclement. The party was taken in hacks drawn by prancing steeds, the product of Kentucky soil, and were driven through the principle streets of Hopkinsville thence to the M. & F. College, where they were entertained by the students of the college, who rendered beautiful music. After singing, supper was served and all were left to their leisure until the hour for the speaking at night. The trip to Hopkinsville was by a special arrangement and the party consented to allow the principal of the M. & F. College to charge an admittance to the lecture for the benefit of the school. The people turned out in large numbers, thereby attesting to the fact that they are interested in the educational institution located in their city. On the morning of the 23rd at 9:10 a. m., the train arrived at Clarksville. Here a magnificent audience packed the Opera House to its utmost capacity. They had a splendid preliminary program that was not excelled at any point. Brownsville, Tenn., was the next stop. The train arrived at that point at 6 p. m. on the evening of the 23rd. The party spent the night there, leaving at 7 a. m. the next morning for the Bluff City, Memphis, the metropolis of the state. It was expected that Memphis would vie with Nashville for first honors, but after the great demonstration given in the capital city on the 21st, all other cities took off their hats and gave Nashville the blue ribbon. On the morning of the 25th at 10 a.m. the party arrived at Jackson, where they remained until 12:30 leaving that point at the hour stated above for Milan, which they reached at 2 p.m. This was the final stopping place of the party and company that had traveled together, slept together and dined together for seven days and nights, and who were soon to be scattered over the state of Tennessee and to several other states. It was the parting of the ways, and while every one was happy that the trip had been so great a success, the thought of having to be separated from so congenial a party brought a tinge of sadness to every heart. But after the speaking and after dinner had been served a general handshaking marked the ending of the greatest industrial and educational tour that has ever been witnessed in the grand old Volunteer State. CRISPS ATTUCKS. Mere surface shadow and sunshine, while the sounding unifies all! One love, one hope, one duty theirs! No matter the time or ken, There never was a separate heart- There never was a seperate heartbeat in all the races of men! But alien is one—of class, not race—he has drawn the line for himself; His roots drink life from inhuman soil, from garbage of pomp and pelf; His heart beats not with the common beat, he has changed his life-strain's hue; He beams his flesh to be finer flesh, he boasts that his blood is blue. Patrician, aristocrat, tory—whatever his age or name. To the people's rights and liberties, a traitor ever the same. The natural crowd is a mob to hin, their prayer a vulgar rhyme; The freeman's speech is sedition, and the patriot's deed a crime. the patriot used a crime. Wherever the race, the law, the land, whatever the time, or throne, The tory is always a traitor to every class but his own. Thank God for a land where pride is clipped, where arrogance stalks apart; Where law and song and loathing of wrong are words of the common heart; Where the masses honor straight forward strength, and know, when veins are bled, That the bluest is putrid blood—that the people's blood is red! And honor to Christus Attucks, who was leader and voice that day; The first to defy, and the first to die with Maverick, Carr, and Gray. Call it riot or revolution, his hand first clinched at the crown; His feet were the first in perilous place to pull the king's flag down; His breast was the first one rent apart that liberated storm might flow; that liberty's stream might now; For our freedom now and forever, his hood was the first laid low. head was the first land low. Call it riot or revolution, or mob or crowd, as you may, Such deaths have been seed of nations, such lives shall be honored for aye. They were lawless hinds to the lackeys —but martyrs to Paul Revere; And Otis and Hancock and Warren read spirit meaning clear. Ye teachers, answer: what shall be done when just men stand in the dock? When the caitiff is robed in ermine, and his sworders keep the lock; When torture is robbed of clemency, and guilt is without remorse; Shall the people kneel to be trampled, and bare their neck to the sword?

Unknown to Biology Because He is so Far Above It., Says Noted Brain Specialist. There is a profound reason for Man's exceptional relation to all living Nature, which is this, that Man is unknown to biology because he is so far above it. All that biology knows in the animal homo, about whom it explains so much that many are deceived into supposing that Homo Sapiens can also be explained by it, whereas he is wholly unaccountable and inexplicable by biology, with no hint of his coming anywhere in the long series of animals ending with the apes. How could geology, for example, foreshadow any earthly being who can turn into a true menial servant that which in Nature causes thunder to peal so grandly, and bid it warm and light his bedroom, cook and wash for him, and carry his messages to the ends of this earth faster than it can revolve or the sun travel through space? He also who can talk across oceans with nothing which can be seen or handled, by means of that Something which pervades all space, is simply above Nature and truly supernatural, because he is not like anything which Nature ever has seen or known. Man is greater than the ether, because the user is greater than the thing used; and there can be no doubt that eventually be will make the ether obey him as willimply as now he makes electricity obey him.—Dr. William Hanna Thomson in December Everybody's.

Sweeping changes in the present system that exists in so many places in Tennessee of herding miserable wretches together in filthy, dark, squalid, disease-breeding cells, making them sleep on narrow boards, shackling their feet even when slumber brings temporary forgetfulness, feeding them poorly, allowing them in some cases to live in filth and suffering unrealized by the contented, fat and sleek world outside, are coming soon, or Gov. Patterson is simply going to turn the wretches out in the free air. "I have just turned out twelve prisoners I found in the workhouse at Memphis," said the Governor yesterday afternoon, "and I am going next to the workhouses in Davidson County. Conditions in some of these detention stations are more than people who never visit them can realize. It is not humane to keep some of these prisoners in confinement any longer in their misery." J. B. REV. WM. HAYNES, Financial Agent of Roger Williams University, one of the tourists. Recent Inspections. Rev. E. P. Anderson, Secretary of the State Board of Charities, told a reporter for The American last night of inspections he and Rabbi Lewinthal have lately made in Nashville, Memphis and other places. The city workhouse, he said, in Nashville was found to contain many conditions which should be removed at once. The other institutions he visited in Davidson County were in fairly good condition, he reports. The Shelby County workhouse is found to be about all, apparently, that Gov. Patterson found there—darkness and disease and misery. "The day we were there," said Rev. Anderson, "it was raining, and the rain was overflowing some parts of the floors. The cells were so dark that one could not stand on the outside and see the inmates. It was about the same at Jackson. Lavatories were found overflowing and the odors were simply stifling." The intention of bettering the condition of unfortunates was shown emphatically yesterday when the Governor put his name to a paper liberating twelve sick, paralyzed, consumptive wretches from the Shelby County workhouse, which he has just visited in person. Seven of these unfortunates he found in the place which the imperial county of Shelby calls her "workhouse," are Negroes—one only 10 years old. One has consumption in its last stages. Three of the twelve are paralyzed. All are diseased and disabled, one whose right arm is completely paralyzed, was there for the terrible crime of sleeping in a box car. The personal visit of the Governor, who went into the place and saw for himself the conditions, resulted in the following order from the Executive yesterday: "To all who shall see these presents, and more especially to the Sheriff of Shelby County: Greeting: "Whereas, I have personally inspected the Shelby County workhouse, and find the following prisoners, all confined for small offenses, should be at once released, as it would be inhuman to keep them longer confined: "Ed Walker, colored, age 10 years and small for his age, confined for petit larceny. "Jim Barnes, colored, very sick with an unknown disease, confined for involuntary manslaughter. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1909. "Charles Stern, colored, crippled and has daily spasms, confined for petit larceny. "Mike Sullivan, white, right arm completely paralyzed and withered, confined for sleeping in a box car. "James Clark, white, who has only one leg and is otherwise weak and disabled, confined for sleeping in a box car. "W. A. Stephens, white, suffering with probably an incurable stomach trouble, confined for carrying a pistol. "Sam Sims, colored, badly ruptured, otherwise disabled, confined for carrying a pistol. "Henry Thompson, alias Thomas, white, badly ruptured and unable to work, confined for vagrancy. "Tobe Marin, colored, age about 18 years, suffering with a malignant blood disorder, confined for receiving stolen property. "Harry Buckler, colored, suffering with consumption in its last stages, confined for assault. "C. H. Allen, paralyzed in one leg, confined for petit larceny. "Ruth Mitchell, colored, paralyzed, confined for vagrancy. "Some of these prisoners have already served several months of their time. They all have costs to pay, of which I am unable to relieve them, and I now relieve each and all of them from the remainder of their sentences and for all fines that may be assessed against them by the judgment of the courts. "Now, therefore, I Malcolm R. Patterson, Governor as aforesaid, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested, do hereby pardon the above named prisoners of their said offenses, so far as relates to the terms of imprisonment and fines assessed against them, but in no other way interfering with the judgment and sentence of said court; and I do further authorize and direct the said above named prisoners be forthwith put at large and liberated. "In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed at Nashville on this, the 22nd day of November, 1909. "MALCOLM R. PATTerson. "By the Governor; "HALLUM R. GOODLOE, "Secretary of State." PROF. WASHINGTON IN COLUMBIA. If any doubts had before existed as to whether or not a sufficient crowd would be present at the Columbia Opera House last Saturday night to satisfy the expectations of the committee on arrangements, all were entirely dispelled when long before 8 o'clock p.m., the hour programmed for the speaking of Dr. B. T. Washington, the announcement came to headquarters that the auditorium, gallery and lower floor were packed, standing room even could not be had. From the fact that the audience had assembled one hour and a half in advance of the speaker, plainly shows the feeling of enthusiasm that prevailed and the eagerness which the people here, irrespective of race, displayed in their desire to welcome this deservedly great man. Over one thousand seats were occupied and fully as many persons could not even gain admission to the passages leading to the entrance. It was indeed a large and enthusiastic assembly, all bent on hearing or seeing the distinguished Negro. Dr. Washington and staff of twenty to twenty-five of the leading business and professional Negroes of Nashville and other points, arrived at the station at 7:40 p. m., and were duly received by the local committee, escorted to the waiting carriages and conducted to headquarters. The scene at the depot and along the line of march was an imposing, not to say spectacular one. Never before had such a scene been witnessed. The demonstration was spontaneous, full of inspiration. Oved one hundred school children in vehicles, waving gay banners, was a striking feature of the parade. Following in buggies and surreys and on foot was the mass of citizens of Columbia and from all over the county. The children of the city school tendered Dr. Washington a reception at the Johnson building which was responded to in a most felicitous manner, and much helpful advice was given. After supper had been served the Washington party was drawn to the Opera House. The exercises were opened by a chorus rendered by the choral class of the Columbia High School. Dr. T. W. Stephens, chairman of the local committee, introduced Mr. W. D. Kelley, who in a most graceful speech presented Dr. Washington to the audience. Dr. Washington seemed at his best; he spoke over one hour and a half and had full command of his audience, speaking with his characteristic vigor and alternately, to black and white along practical, business and racial lines. He urged the Negro to be frugal, to be reliable, to create a demand for the best kind of labor performed in its most skillful manner; urged him to have a bank account, dignify labor, educate his children wisely and in every way possible to render himself a most desirable asset in the community in which he lived. He advised the white people to be kind and patient to the Negro, help him in his aspirations; to so encourage him in his labors on the farm, in domestic service, in his schools and churches as to cause him to have no desire to go to the cities to be the prey of vice and immorality. He said further, the Negro naturally loves his southern home and the southern people; that he had no desire for social equality, nor did he entertain a single thought or desire imical to M. B. T. G. EWING, Cashier People's Savings Bank, Member Reception Committee. the southern white man. He said the Negro was the best laborer the South ever had; that in these respects he was far more desirable than the Chinamen, Italian or any other foreigner. It was a great speech, pregnant with sound advice and breathing for the peace and good will toward all men. The Hon. Mayor, Dr. W. M. Biddle, and J. B. Ashton, President of the Board of Education, with their respective staffs, were seated on the platform, and it is the uniform, unqualified expression of all who had the good fortune of hearing Dr. Washington, that his visit was a most timely one, and it is believed that the words of wisdom given to this people will be lasting and beneficial. AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION. Never was there a jollier, merrier, prettier bunch of maidens, nor a more handsome and gallant set of young men gathered together to show their esteem and regard for a couple of young married people than met at the home of Dr. C. V. Roman, 130 Hardee street, Saturday, November 20, '09, to surprise by a linen shower Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Napier, who were quietly married on the 9th inst. By 6:30 p.m., they began to arrive in couples, trios, quartettes, etc., and at 7:30 p.m., led by Misses Mabel Scott and Carrie L. Napier, under a parasol tastily decorated with white and pink crepe paper which concealed the gifts, the party wended their way quietly to the residence of Prof. F. G. Smith where the happy couple were staying for a few days. At a pre-arranged signal with Mrs. Smith the entire party [Name] W. H. McGAVOCK, Of McGavock & Co., Member of Reception Committee. were permitted to noiselessly enter the parlors, which were dimly lighted and arrange the gift-laden parasol. The bride and groom were found and led into the room amid laughter and cheers and instructed to pull a cord under the parasol which released the gifts. Then about them fell a shower of snowy linens in every conceivable form; dainty embroidered and lace trimmed handkerchiefs, battenburg and Mexican-worked covers, scarfs and doilies, hemstitched towels, tablecloths, sheets, etc., etc., galore. The lights were now turned on in full and the expressions of surprise and delighted appreciation from the recipients of this novel entertainment brought a glow of satisfaction to all. In a few well-chosen sentences the groom gracefully thanked the company for himself and wife for the beautiful assortment of lipens tendered as an expression of regard and appreciation. The music started and soon the merry party were gracefully tripping the light fantastic toe in the dances' gayest measures. Those present were Misses Beatrice and Roberta Walker, Clara and Hattie Hodgkins, Mabel and Anita Scott. Lillian A. and Fannie M. Banks, Azalia M. Ellis, Lucy White, Reba Latham, J. Dewitt Shorter, Otilia McCall, Carrie L. Napier and Messrs, S. B. Erwin, L. O. Sullivan, J. O. Burney, L. J. Searcey, Arthur P. Evans, F. D. Bradford, Malcolm C. King, A. L. Frazier, Robert Shaw, F. G. Smith, Jr., G. H. Upshaw, J. B. Darden, R. L. Smith, J. B. Hankel, Cliff E. Terry, E. C. Nelson. LABORING UNDER THE WRONG IMPRESSION. I have had several complaints from friends of Roger Williams University who are under the impression that the president of the institution was noe invited to the platform at the speaking in the Auditorium Sunday night. Prof. Jobson was invited to the platform but preferred to remain in the audience. I did not call his name Sunday night because I thought he was on the platform knowing as I did that he had been invited, and did not know other- wise until the information came to me from parties living in the city. Yours truly. H. A. BOYD, Chairman Arrangement Committee. TIME REGISTERS FOR NASH- VILLE. Two Hawley Patents Being Installed in Postoffice. Splendid Device The work of installing two Hawley time register clocks, the only ones in the South, is being conducted at the postoffice. Mr. W. D. Hawley, a representative of the Crouse-Hinds Company of Syracuse, N. Y., the manufacturers, is superintending the installation of the clocks, and will remain in Nashville for several days until the office is running smoothly under the new system. The Hawley device promises not only to save a vast amount of clerical work, but at a glance will show the regularity with which clerk or carrier is performing his duties. The government decided to try the experiment of a time regulator two or three years ago, and about 100 inventions were submitted. All have been eliminated with the exception of the Hawley and the International. In practically every office where time registers have been put in operation the Hawley has been preferred, and the reports on the instruments which have been required by the department show that in every case thus far the experiment has been a success. There are only fifty of the Hawley clocks in use in post-offices, including the two at Nashville, but in the event of their universal adoption by the government, more than 2,000 will be required. Postmaster Wills succeeded in obtaining two of the clocks for this office while in Washington last summer, the only Southern postoffice so favored, and he will make a report in regard to their success here. He is enthusiastic over the samples of the work done by the Hawley. The Hawley patent, while of value to any business house employing large numbers of fmns, is particularly adapted to the needs of a large postoffice, where, oftentime, a carrier is forced to register as many as thirty-two times in twenty-four hours. The machine not only keeps a record of the number of hours and minutes during the day for which the employee should be paid, but the record on the sheet is so clear that any tampering with the device could be instantly detected. The Hawley clock consists of a clock of very simple construction, which is connected with two cylinders, each of which revolves once every twenty-four hours. Each cylinder is covered with a sheet of blue paper divided into fifty sections by parallel lines. The space contained between these lines is sufficient for a line for each day in the week. There are fifty numbered keys for each cylinder, one for each clerk or carrier. When the employee begins work he punches his key and the steel point on the end of the key begins at once to make a white line in the corresponding numbered column; when he quits work for any cause, he pulls the key out, and while he is off duty a blank space is left on his record. The blue paper is sufficient for one entire week, and when 'aken off the lines show how many days a man has worked, how many hours and minutes each day, and also shows whether the entire force is working steadily or spasmodically. The cylinders shift mechanically one space to the left each day, and at the end of the week shift seven spaces to the right, and the lines start under the Monday column again. When the sheet is taken off at the end of the week it is sent to the Cashier, and the record of each employee is compiled in a moment, practically all clerical work being eliminated. NO DESERTED FARMS IN GERMANY (Rudolf Cronau in the December McCLURE's.) The policy of conservation that made German forestry such a success is applied also to agriculture. Germany is not at all a land flowing with milk and honey. In enormous parts of northern Germany the soil is decidedly poor. With that of the United States it cannot compare at all. But proper care did wonders. While the methods of farming used by many Americans have resulted in the utter decline of good land in a comparatively short time, the farm-lands of Germany, even though they have been under cultivation for centuries, bring forth rich crops year in and year out. Mr. James Hill, one of the most noted experts on land affairs, at the famous Governors' Conference, made [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit and tie]. B. J. CARR, President Farmers' Alliance Member Reception Committee. the remarkable statement that the soil of America, once the envy of every other country, gave during the ten years beginning with 1896 an average yield of 13.5 bushels of wheat per acre, while Germany produced 27.6. For the same decade the yield of oats was in America less than 30 bushels, in Germany 46. For barley the figures were 25 against 33, and for rye 15.4 against 24. Deserted farms, which, as a result of soil exhaustion, can be found all over the eastern half of the United States, are absolutely unknown in Germany. LAVERGNE NOTES. The marriage of Miss Lucy Winn and Mr. Thomas Kelly took place at the home of the bride at three o'clock. The bride wore a beautiful blue suit. The groom wore a gray suit. The bride carried a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums. After the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Kelly where a delightful supper was served. Quite a number of friends attended the wedding. Misses Sallie Effle and Emma enjoyed quite a pleasant trip to Smyrna at the entertainment: Mr. Robert Dunnway is improving in health. Mrs. Sallie Goack and grandchild, who spent a week in the city have returned home. Rev. Mr., T. A. Todd visited the United Sons of Relief and made quite a welcome address. At a late hour Misses Ruth P. Leonnie and Millie Baker served sherbet and cake. Mrs. Mat. Bake visited the asylum to see her sick grandchild last week. Mr. P. M. Davis visited the city. Mrs. Alice State and E. M. Baker visited Smyrna and enjoyed the entertainment. Mrs. Henry Covington visited the city. Mr. and Mrs. Ned Davis have moved back to his home place. AFTERNOON LUNCHEON.

Banks Robertson, of New York, who leaves shortly to reside in Chicago, Ill. There were present only a few of Mrs. Voorhies' friends making a congenial party. A delightful luncheon menu was served at a table decked with red and white chrysanthemums. 4 Published Every Friday in the Year, Room 1, Odd Fellows Hall, No. 447 Fourth Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn., BY THE GLOBE PUBLISHING CO.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26. 1909. THE APOSTLE OF PEACE. Whoever conceived the idea to have Dr. Booker T. Washington collect around him some of the successful men of the states in the South, and to charter a train and go into different sections of the state from which the party had been selected, struck upon a plan that has thus far proved to be an ideal one. Dr. Washington has a manner of expressing his views on conditions in the South that few men have. In fact, no man in this country has been as successful as he, in telling all the people of this section of our country, black and white, of their shortcoming without creating a feeling of enmity toward himself from either side; but on the other hand he is gaining favor in the minds of his own people and those of the white race as well. When Booker T. Washington declared at the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, that the Negroes of the South should let down their buckets where they are, a wall was sent up from the Negroes that would have driven any man of ordinary ability to retrenchment; while on the other hand, the applause received from the white people would have caused a man the least inclined to be vain to lose sight of the interest of the people whose cause most needed to be espoused. But this man has never stopped to reply to the criticisms hurled at him from the men of his own race in every section of our country, nor has he allowed the plaudits of those of another race to divert his attention from the end he has always been striving to attain. He has gone on preaching his doctrine of peace and good will until the whole country, irrespective of section or race, has given heed to his plea. The tour just closed in this state was a grand success in every way and will result in much good to all the people. The Negroes in every walk of life will take on new courage. Those who have been laboring to accomplish something along business lines will take on new courage, and go to work with a new determination to do more. Men and women who have been despondent to a degree, and have felt that it was useless to try to be anything, that their lot was to be one of eternal misery, realize that they too have a chance to be as good citizens as anybody else. The races have been taught to think of each other in a different light. The doo --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1909 trine of mutual help has been preached in a way that is bound to be productive of abundant good fruit. PRISONS IN TENNESSEE. The investigation into the conditions of the prisons of this state is a move that will receive the approval of every good citizen. A prisoner is an unfortunate creature, and as such should be pitied. True, it is the intention that they suffer for having committed some deed they should not have committed, but when officials cause those prisoners entrusted to their charge to suffer more than the law prescribes, those officials inflicting such punishment or permitting it to be done become worse criminals than those who have been incarcerated. Governor Patterson proved himself a hero when he turned those sick creatures out of the Memphis workhouse. Some of them were of tender years, while others had lost their health, no doubt, from being forced to sleep in buildings unfit for rats to stay in. The committee also deserves to be commended for their heroic efforts to bring to light the conditions under which those people were being held. STATE NORMAL In all probability the site for the State Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes will be soon established. We have no authority for making this statement other than the announcement that the committee which made a tour of the state in the interest of the white normal schools has been called to meet Monday to make their selections. It stands for reason that the superintendent of Public Instruction would like to have the four sites decided upon at the same time. The Negroes of this state have not shown the proper interest in this school. Especially is this true of the Negroes of Nashville. This school should arouse every Negro in Tennessee to alertness. We should take a deep interest in our Normal College. We ought to have a desire to see our school the equal of any in the South. It will be so if the people will all pull together for its success. In Martin, Tenn., a few days ago a lodge hall built there by Negroes was destroyed before the lodge had an opportunity to use it. The opinion is generally expressed that the burning was done by white people. It is a deplorable occurrence, and one that should be condemned. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of the first issue of The Mountain Leader, published in Charleston, W. Va. We most heartily welcome our new contemporary to the field of misery and woe. Long may she live to battle in the city across the bridge. The court has again decided that the Standard Oil Company is subject to be punished for a violation of the law, but the consumer is paying the same price for oil. The Americans who are in the Nicaraguan prisons would, no doubt, swap places with some of like abode in this country and give a good exchange. The football season has come to a close, and now the doctor and drug-gist will have a chance to make a few onside kicks. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. There is always room and opportunity in every Southern community for the man or woman willing to work, but there is no place in any community for an idler, educated or uneducated. "Work is the law of life."—Atlanta Independent. Who said slavery days were past? Mr. Dunn has just purchased the Baltimore baseball team numbering several head of good husky fellows. He is now getting ready to sell a few of them off and no doubt he will get a fairly good price for them, too. The Afro-American. A corporation of colored men of Indianapolis will engage in soap making. The venture ought to prove highly successful, since soap is a ne- cessity. The move is in the right direction—where the money is, in manufacturing. By the best business methods in all departments the individuals will do something that will command respect, make money for themselves and employ many of the race.—The Freeman. *** The National Geographical Society gave Peary a gold medal after certifying to his discovery of the North Pole, while Matthew Henson, the only other American at the pole, came in neither for medal nor mention. Under any circumstances this was a blunderous oversight, for in the coming battle for popular acclaim, Peary cannot afford to alienate the affections of ten millions.—The New York Age. *** After being conspicuously let along on his spin around the circuit by the Negro, it remained for the "representative" Negroes of Richmond to break in and make a pitiable bid for one of their chief's "patented smile." After some effort, which was doubtless embarrassing to those who granted it, they saw him and got in their little time-worn eulogy, and heard him tell them to go a-farming. There is a bit of pathos about this act.—The Fisherman's Net. We have noticed some development among the colored citizens of Birmingham which means much to check this evil practice of theatergoing. Men are seeing more every day where they cannot afford to spend their valuable, hard-earned money in accepting a condition that cannot be seen in any light other than a race disgrace. Now it is the opinion of many of our readers that some method should be developed to have our good and thoughtful teachers to see just as our leading ministers have expressed themselves. We believe as soon as they realize their duty as race leaders and to whom the race is looking to for so much of its guidance, they will work hard for the proper development of our people in more than one line.—The Birmingham Reporter. To Test Their Intelligence. To test the intelligence of his history class a professor at Brown University applied a similar test as that which was included to disfranchise the colored voters of Maryland. It came unexpectedly and all the members of the class failed. They were asked to write out the full names of the President of the United States, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Governor of Rhode Island, a Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island and the Mayor of Providence. This is the test changed for Rhode Island, that was, proposed for the colored citizens of Maryland. Had this test been imposed legally every member of the professor's class would have been disfranchised and yet these are fairer questions to ask of men in college than some of the Latin phrases put to the colored men in the South to test their ability to have the franchise.—The Advocate Verdict. GERMANY'S CARE FOR THE WORKING CLASS. In an article in the December McCLURE's R. Golf Cronau tells what Germany has done for her working classes. "The insurance fees against accident must be paid entirely by the employers. In case of an accident, it is not the employer in whose factory it happened who is held responsible, but the whole group of employers of the same branch. Every group is compelled to establish an insurance company, of which, in 1907, 114 were in existence. About twenty to twenty-one million laborers are thus protected by 150,000 employers. An injured laborer receives, during the time of his disability, two-thirds of his wages, also free medical treatment. In case of his death, the family receives at once fifteen per cent of his annual wages and an annual support of sixty per cent. Up to the end of 1907, 1,486,000,000 marks in all had been paid out. As the employers naturally wish to keep the amount of expenditures as low as possible, this kind of compulsory insurance has greatly stimulated the invention and institution of measures by which accidents may be prevented. "The premiums for the insurance against invalidity and old age are paid half by the employees and half by the employer. Support is given to invalids without regard to age, and to persons above seventy years; also to the widows and orphans or insured persons. To every lawful pension the Government contributes fifty marks. At present about fourteen million persons are protected by this insurance. And 1,501,000,000 marks had been paid out up to the end of 1907. "In all, 5,984,000,000 marks have been distributed among needy people by these three branches of insurance."

There are several communities in the State in which there is same 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 knew 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 MURFREESBORO NOTES.

We are offering for sale twenty-five thousand shares of stock in the McGirt Publishing Company at one dollar per share. While we mention from 6 to 11 per cent. dividend on every dollar invested, I feel sure that with the increasing amount of business we will be able to clear even more, and that each share of stock that we are now selling for one dollar per share, will double itself in value in a very short time and will continue to rise to three or five dollars per share, which would mean that the shares we are now selling for one dollar would double themselves in value four or five times. This is a chance to make a great amount of money on an investment of a few dollars. If you wish to get in on the "ground floor" offer while the stock is cheap, write us at once. McGIRT PUBLISHING COMPANY, 420 SOUTH ELEVENTH ST.. PHILADELPHIA, . . PA. SPORT. Amid the cheering of thousands of supporters and the playing of brass bands and college yells, the Crimson and Black of Meharry, in a game spectacular and brilliant in every way, crushed the Old Gold and Blue, of Fisk, on Thanksgiving Day by a score of 9-0. There was a predominance of Crimson and Black, yet this did not dampen the spirit of the Fisk boys, and after the first twenty minutes of play they put, up a battle long to be remembered in the annals of football. The day was an ideal one for the spectators as well as players. The rooters for each team were out in full array. Each team had a brass band to play their favorite songs. After receiving the ball from the kickoff Meharry carried it down the field without a stop for a touchdown, making it within five minutes after the playing had begun. Meharry used all kinds of attacks and any number of formations which seemed to put her lighter opponents up in the air, the most effective of which was a delayed formation with Kenney carrying the ball. There was no doubting the fact that the Red and Black had come down to Athletic Park with one purpose in view, and that was vengeance for last year's defeat. Within five minutes after the kickoff was made, Fisk was aware of the fact that she was playing a team that had been coached well in every department of the game. There is no denying the fact that the medical team of '09 was, not only heavy, but with her weight she carried remarkable speed, and that Johnson was not only playing quarterback but that his headwork was being used to great advantage. Meharry won the game in the first half and it would be hard to pick out the star of the team. The entire team played ball, every man doing his part and getting in the play at the right time. Coach Ransom had filled up his machine and it was running smoothily all during the first half of the game; everything in the way being crushed. Fisk was kept entirely on the defense and had it not been for the excellent work of McMillan at tackle Meharry would have scored another THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1909 touchdown in the first half. He seemed to be the one thorn in the path. Zuber's excellent place-kick ended the scoring and from that time on Fisk seemed to come to life and there was nothing else doing in the scoring line. In the second half Fisk played Meharry to a standstill. With a wonderful burst of speed she began to use her end plays that bewildered Meharry. The warriors of Fisk were coming to life and every man on the Meharry team was aware of the fact that their last efforts were desperate. King in the Game. Coach Giles sent in King, the wonderful and mighty, and the Old Gold and Blue warriors began a series of forward passes, King always carrying the ball, making wonderful gains with his long passes that were received by the ends with wonderful accuracy. But the goddess of fortune was smiling upon Meharry, the shades of night were coming upon them and before the mighty Gold and Blue warriors could accomplish their end, time was called and the medical boys from the south side had captured another Fisk scalp.

Sam Langford Beats Mike Schreck Easily Pittsburg, Nov. 23.—In less than one minute of fighting in the first round to-night Sam Langford, the Boston Negro, beat Mike Schreck up so badly that at the order of Supt. McQuade Referee Henniger stopped the bout and gave it to Langford. Schreck had just tottered to his feet after his second knockdown and the Negro was just posing for the final knockout when the fight was stopped. TO THE DEPOT. (Continued from Page 5.) in Davidson County. These colored men could not have reached their present degree of success in your city without the help, encouragement and protection of the best white people in Nashville and Davidson County. During the whole week I have been in company with these men I have not heard one word of bitterness nor a single word of adverse criticism uttered against the white citizens of Nashville. On the other hand, they have been emphatic and constant in their commendation of how they are treated. These successful Negroes to whom I have referred have not been brought to the surface by mere chance, but they are the product of just, wise and generous treatment. Southern communities perhaps will never fully realize how much they owe to such men for maintaining peace and friendship. "In speaking a few days ago to President Taft, I said to him that which I repeat here, that nowhere else in the country can there be found so many black people living daily by the side of so large a number of white people where the racial relations are so friendly and satisfactory as they are in our Southern country. We of both races in the South have suffered much by reason of the fact that the worst that occurs in the South is spread speedily in all parts of the world, while the best things which are constantly occuring in each community are seldom known outside of the community. "So far, at every point we have touched in the State of Tennessee. I have been evidences of progress in material, educational, moral and religious directions on the part of my race. Everywhere I have been almost overwhelmed and surprised to see how much interested the white citizens are in every community in the elevation of the Negro. The school facilities for the Negro in the cities and towns I have visited are far better than I had any thought they were. What is needed on our part as a race to make conditions still better is for us to make ourselves a necessity in the field of labor. We must not be merely content to be tolerated, but must make the people feel our labor is so thorough, so intelligent and conscientious that nobody else can be secured who will perform it better. "In the matter of labor, our race has an advantage in the South which I sometimes fear it does not rightly appreciate. In the old countries of Europe, and in many of the large cities of the North, people for a large part of the year are without work; they walk the streets day by day, seeking employment and cannot find it. In our case, no Negro who wants to find work need go without it. On the other hand, in most cases, instead of the black man having to seek labor, labor seeks him. And then here in the South the Negro is not sure out as on many other parts of the country, from skilled labor. In many countries of the world people who have the same degree of civilization work when they can only get from 15 to 20 cents a day for their labor. In every part of the Southland we get many times that much per day for our labor. EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. "That which in the past has made the Southern white people hesitate about the education of the Negro has been the question as to whether or not he could use that education in a way to produce more riches, more comfort, more high moral living in his community after he was educated, but the minute we can prove to the white man in the community where we live that education makes us more lawabiding, more industrious, more saving, gets rid of idleness, that minute millions of dollars will be poured out for our education in every part of the South. In a city like Nashville in a large degree we cook the white man's food, we serve the food on his table, we nurse the white man's child, and every white housekeeper in the city of Nashville ought to be sure that the person who cooks, serves or nurses his children ought to be clean and intelligent, and above all things, moral. [Name] Attorney-at-Law, Member Reception Committee. "In the punishment of crimes of omission and commission the law draws no color line. Since the law draws no color line at the finishing end, the Negro should have equal chance with the people of other races at the preparing end as he is punished in the same way other races are. If the Negro fails to pay his taxes, if he steals, if he fights, if he commits murder, he is punished by the same law by which the white man is punished. I am sure that every white man in Tennessee will agree that if this is true the Negro should have the same chance of preparing himself for life so that he will understand the law and know how to obey the law. If he must be put on equality with the white man at the finishing end of life he should also have an equal chance at the preparing end of life, and this can only be brought about through proper methods of education; I mean education of head, heart and hand; that education which will teach every member of our ace the dignity of labor and at the same time will teach every member of the race some trade or special occupation by which a living can be obtained. RESPONSIBILITY OF WHITE MAN. "Wherever I have gone in the State of Tennessee as well as in other states I have found that the Negro is very much what the white man is. This being true, the white man throughout the South has a tremendous responsibility; the responsibility of setting such an example before the Negro that will help the Negro to a higher and more useful life. I find that on going into a community where the white people are ignorant, lawless, the Negro will be found leading the same kind of life; on the other hand, where you find an intelligent, cultured, lawabiding class of white people you will find the Negro leading the same kind of life. We have here in the city of Nashville in proportion to their number probably the very highest type of Negroes to be found anywhere in the country. This is very large due to the fact that we also have the very highest type of white people. Aside from the color of his skin the Negro in the South is more like the Southern white man than any other race that comes into our country. He more readily adopts the white man's ideas of civilization, he eats the white man's food, professes the same religion, uses the same language, wears the same SUITS AND OVERCOATS $15 SPECIAL VALUE FOR MEN in this season's new styles—overcoats and suits in black, blue, greys and mixtures in all lengths, boxy or conservative.

HIRSHBERG BROS., On the Corner 5th Ave. and Church St kind of clothes, and deep down in his heart the Negro in the South loves the community in which he lives, and is ready to lay down his life if need be for the best white people in that community. There are hundreds of white people in the city of Nashville who would trust their families, their wives and daughters and every dollar they possess in the hands of certain Negroes and feel perfectly sure that that trust would not be betrayed. As I travel through Tennessee and get into individual communities I find that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the relations between the individual Negro and the individual white man are all that could be desired. This individual relation between the black man and the white man is the basis for the settlement of whatever problems that are remaining. "In the year 1913, three years from next January, the Negro will have been free fifty years. There is a plan on foot fathered by the leading colored people in this country to hold somewhere in the South an exposition that will show to the world the progress which we have made in our fifty years of freedom in industrial directions, education, morality and religion, and above all will show the friendly relations existing between Negroes and white people in the South. It is the plan to not only show what the Negro has accomplished since he has been free, but also to show the help he received from the Southern white man in the days of slavery in giving him a higher degree of civilization. In my opinion there is no case in history where a race has risen so suddenly from barbarism to civilization so quickly and the Negro in America should not only have the credit but the white man in the North and in the South should have credit. In a conversation a few days ago with President Taft he expressed himself in a most emphatic way as being willing to endorse and help forward in every way possible such an exposition." After the speaking was over scores of friends came to the platform and were introduced. Those invited to seats on the platform were: Dr. Kumler, President of Walden University; Dr. George W. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry Medical College; Dr. Gates, President of Fisk University; Prof. J. W. Johnson, President Roger Williams University; Prof. R. L. Jones, State Superintendent of Education; Mayor Hillary E. Howse and the entire Washington party consisting of the tourists who accompanied them through the state, together with the committee who had charge of the entertainment and the chorus of singers who were the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board. The schools that had reserved space in the auditorium were: The Methodist Training School (white), Fisk University, Roger Williams University, Walden University and Meharry Medical College. The chorus of about a hundred voices that rendered the music on last Sunday night at the Ryman Auditorium was composed of employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board through sheer patriotism and a desire to show to the party and tourist what is being developed among the Negroes by way of special productions from eminent composers. That they made a splendid showing could not be denied. Their selections throughout the evening were the production of Negro brain. Several songs attracted much attention especially noticeable among which was the anthem, Princes Awake! This anthem was by far the most popular piece of the occasion, while others were rendered none was so prominently mentioned. The chorus was directed by Mr. L. S. Gray, Foreman of the Bookbinding Department. While Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney, of the same department, presided at the piano. Special compliments were paid them; not that the music was so very classical, but that they should lay aside their work and attempt to give the thousands of people that were present an entertainment of this kind. During the evening three different song books were used. At six o'clock Monday morning a throng of people were at the Union Station on Broadway to say farewell to the Washington party and the Tennessee tourists. The I. O. I. Band of fifteen pieces under the management of S. S. Hughes furnished about a dozen selections. The airs were all popular and a great demonstration was made. The special train which was in waiting to continue its circuitous route through Tennessee going up as far as Hopkinsville, Ky., did not leave the station until 7:35. Additional members were added to the party here in Nashville. These consisted of Hon. W. H. Lewis, Assistant United States District Attorney, of Boston, Mass.; Hon. J. E. Bush, Receiver of Public Monies, Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. McConnico, of Ark.; Mr. Melton, Editor and Manager of the Memphis Citizen; Mr. J. Thomas Turner, Attorney-at-law; Dr. E. W. D.
