JOHNSON AND BENTON — METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH FILLED WITH SEEKERS FOR TRUTH. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 26.—The seventh annual convention of the West Tennessee Educational Congress closed here today after holding one of the most largely attended and profitable sessions in its history. Some of the best-known educational leaders of the race in the state were in attendance and addressed the Congress on various subjects pertaining to the educational development of the Negro boys and girls, among them being Prof. E. W. Benton, Principal of the Hadley School, of Nashville; Prof. A. E. Merry, Principal of the High School, Jackson; Prof. G. P. Hamilton, Principal High School, Memphis; Prof. E. L.

Larsen, Principal LeMoyne Institute here, also spoke before the Congress during its two-day session which was held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church on Vance street. Mrs. Virginia Broughton, the well known missionary leader, read a valuable paper on "A Teacher's Relation to the Development of a Race," which was well received, and Prof. R. Nathaniel Dett, Professor of Music, Lane College, and formerly of Oberlin University, Oberlin, O., rendered several original instrumental solos, highly delighting the delegates and visitors. The papers offered before the Congress were of a very high order and set up a high moral intellectual and spiritual standard to be accomplished by the educators of the state. Rev. T. J. Searcy, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, was present at each session of the Congress to lend spiritual aid to the meeting and the Congress was presided over by President J. W. Johnson, Roger Williams University, who has directed the organization for many years and who is one of the leading educators of his race in Tennessee. WEDDINGS Pankey-Lightfoot.

Many floral designs were sent by friends from many cities and towns of the state where she was known and loved. BACHELOR MAIDS.

E. Phillips at her parents' residence, Bishop and Mrs, C. H. Phillips, on Twelfth avenue, North. The Club meets next with Miss Hodgkins, at the residence of her parents, Lawyer and Mrs. W. H.

Jennings, Martha McCline, and Mr. John McCline, with his two dogs, Booster and Major. No. 48. ONE BY ONE NASHVILLE'S PIONEER GITIZENS ARE PASSING. The Curtain of Death Again Comes to View. MRS. JANE ELIZABETH NAPIER GOES TO HER FINAL REST—HAD LI. ED IN AND ABOUT THIS CITY EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS—HER LIFE ONE WORTHY OF EMULATION — QUIET, PEACEFUL, LOVING—END CAME SUDDENLY IN THE HOME OF HER DAUGHTER IN ST. LOUIS—FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED—DR. JAS. BOND OFFICIATES. Beneath an avalanche of floral designs the like of which has seldom, if ever, been equalled in Nashville, all that was mortal of Mrs. Jane E. Napier, the widow of the late William Carrol Napier, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Langston, at St. Louis, Mo., on November 24th, was buried at Greenwood Cemetery. The remains were conveyed to this city, arriving here on last Friday morning, accompanied by the heart-broken son and daughter, Hon. J. C. Napier and Mrs. Langston, with Dr. E. B. Jefferson. The funeral was held at Howard Congregational Church on Twelfth avenue, North, last Sunday, Rev. James Bond, D.D., of Kentucky, officiating, assisted by Revs. Geo. W. Moore, D.D., and G. Lake Imes, pastor of the church. Dr. Bond, who for several years was pastor of the Howard Congregational Church, of which the deceased was a member, was personally acquainted with her for years and in his discourse on "A Life of Service," he drew loving pictures, painting them so as to move his great audience at will to tears for about forty minutes. He discoursed upon the beautiful life that had ended after having helped for more than four-score years in the "Peace on earth and good will toward men" doctrine. Hers, said Dr. Bond, was a life of service to home, friends and the needy. He went back beyond the dark days of the Civil War when the mutterings and the unrest of the pro-slavery days were being heard in Tennessee, to show that hers was beyond any question a life to be exemplified. After the sermon Mr. J. Thomas Turner read an original poem dedicated to the deceased. A select choir sang some appropriate songs, and Mrs. H. A. Cameron's "A Mother's Prayer" brought tears to all eyes. The pall-bearers were Rev. R. H. Boyd, Dr. H. T. Noel, Mr. Richard Harris, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Attorneys John Grant, P. W. Adams, W. H. Hodgkins and Dr. F. A. Stewart. The business and professional men of the city, friends of Mr. Napier, were doing all they could to help him bear this his greatest loss, and hundreds of letters and telegrams of condolence were received by the family. A set of resolutions drawn up by the Tennessee Tourists and the Washington Party, of which Mr. J. C. Napier had been the promoter, and from whom he was called away at Memphis, before the trip through Tennessee was completed, was read, as was the obituary by Rev. Imes. On April 11th, 1825, there was born to Rebecca and Wm. E. Watkins a little girl, whom they named Jane Elizabeth. Here she grew and played and labored and loved till in September, 1844, she married William Carrol Napier. Of this union there came four boys and one girl, by name, James C., Thomas J., Elias W., Henry Alonzo and Ida Morgan. Of this number two remain alive, a son and a daughter, respectively, Jas. Carroll Napier, of Nashville, and Ida, now Mrs. Arthur Langston, of St. Louis. Her husband also preceded her, Dec. 20, 1895. For nearly the whole of her long life Mrs. Napier lived in Davidson County, Tenn., particularly Nashville, leaving about five years ago to take up her residence with her (Continued on Page 5.)

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. BAD MARRIAGE LAWS THE CHIEF CAUSE OF DIVORCE. (George Elliot Howard in the December McCLURE's.) The great fountain-head of divorce is bad marriage laws and bad marriages. Hampered by ancient tradition, befogged by medieval modes of thought, in dealing or neglecting to deal with the marriage institution we have signally failed to develop methods of social control adequate to the new psychic character of the family. No one who in full detail has carefully studied American matrimonial legislation can doubt for an instant that, faulty as are our divorce laws, our marriage laws are far worse. Hardly a conceivable blunder is left uncommitted; while our apathy, our carelessness and levity, regarding the marriage institution, are almost beyond belief. Of the two factors as causes of divorce, bad marriage laws are, of course, less harmful than are marriages biologically or morally bad. Here, too, the power of the lawmaker is limited. Yet a bad marriage law will account for divorce in far more cases than will a bad divorce law. This is true because its function is prevention. For instance, bad marriage laws may permit, or fail to prevent, the union of those who are unfit to wed because of venereal disease, insanity, crime, or degeneracy. They may suffer, even encourage, clandes tine unions, so apt to end in the divorce court. This is why the "marriage resort," like that at St. Joseph Michigan, is many times more harmful than the "divorce colony," such as those formerly at Mandan, Fargo, or Sioux Falls. The thoughtless, frivolous, sensual, or immature couples joined at the wedding resort often find their way to the colony. There is crying need of a higher ideal of the marriage relation; of more careful selection in wedlock. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

DECEMBER 3, 1909 The Globe in this issue is able to give complete totals of the registrations held in the city and county since last August, and including the ten days' biennial registration of last August. The city has had one more supplemental registration than the county for the reason that a registration was held for the city election of last October 14. City and county alike, however, had the biennial together and the supplemental registration just ended last week held for the county primary of December 9. There are, according to the figures of Supervisor Adamson, 20,966 voters at this time registered in the county. Of this number, it is estimated that from 1,000 to 1,200 are duplications, especially in the city, by reason of removal last October. The following table, however, presents the white and colored totals of the city and the country for the three registrations, separating them ward by ward and district by district: The city shows a total registration of 16,735, all told, and 15,673 white, all told, after deducting 1,062 colored voters registered in the three registrations together. There are now 1,220 colored voters registered in the county, leaving just 158 colored for the country. The grand total registration in the country, white and colored, is 4,231. The Second Ward leads with a total of 1,093 voters registered. The Twentieth is close behind, with 1,039. The three largest Negro wards, as shown by the totals are: Third, with 229; Fourteenth, with 103, and Nineteenth with 111. The table follows: Wards. White, Col. Total.

The Christmas McCLURE's is an ideal Holiday number—filled with seasonable fiction, beautiful illustrations and interesting and informing articles. Jessie Wileo Smith, whose pictures of child life have become famous, contributes a set of drawings depicting "A Child's World," which are reproduced in full color. The number is particular rich in fiction. There are Christian stories by Mary Stewart Cutting, Gertrude Hall, Margaret and Arthur E. McFarlane; and stories by Perceval Landon, J. O. Cobb and Orr Kenyon. Foremost among the articles is "Divorce and Public Welfare," by George Elliott Howard, who says that bad marriage laws are mainly responsible for divorce. David Soskice writes of the atrocities committed in the Schluesselburg, Russia's most terrible political prison; Rudolf Cronan describes "The New Germany;" Rufus Steele tells how wild horses are trapped, and W. H. Rideing writes of "Two Explorers and a Literary Parson." NASHVILLIAN WEDS. Invitations have reached Nashville announcing the marriage of Mr. John William Palmer and Miss Marie Azelia St. Martin, which took place at the St. Vilian Cathedral, with high mass on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Palmer at one time lived in Nashville, but went to Cal- CHRISTMAS TOYS A toy that is going to make glad hearts in the homes of the people this Christmas will be NEGRO DOLLS 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.

A list of all delinquent taxpayers is being compiled by Assistant City Attorney Frank J. Gerard, for the purpose of having a public sale of the property on which there are taxes unpaid. There has not been such a sale in Nashville since 1902, and the new city officials think that it is time for those who have been warned that they are delinquent to have their property sold if they continue in their refusal to pay up what they owe the city. Albert J. Ewing, Jr., city attorney, states that there are a great many people in the city who are able to pay their taxes, and who will not do so, and that some of these people owe back taxes to the amount of hundreds of dollars. According to the charter of the city, the city attorney is a tax collector, and is empowered to sell property and collect the money for back taxes when the money is not forthcoming from the owners.

DAMAGING FALSE REPORT White Newspaper Correspondent in League with White Merchants They Try to Kill Negro Doll Company—Concern in Nashville, However, Discovers the Trick, Which Was Attempted During the Present Christmas Holiday Season, but Loyalty of Negroes Overrides the Rumor and They are Buying Dolls. The most unkind cut that was ever given to a Negro enterprise was administered, or attempted to be administered, to the National Negro Doll Company, of this city, by a newspaper correspondent recently. He possibly, was urged or persuaded by merchants, who feared the increasing popularity of the Negro dolls; but like true, faithful, patriotic, race-loving people, the Negroes throughout the United States did not place any confidence in the news item that was sent over the country with the intention of destroying the Negro doll business. It was evident from the ovation given the advent of Negro dolls that practically every family which cared to instill race pride into their children, would either have a Negro doll in their homes or none at all. The merchants saw this, as the sale of white dolls among Negroes had fallen off to an alarming extent. They had thousands of dollars' worth of white dolls left on hand from the last holiday season, so this special notice was sent out in an effort to revive the white doll business and destroy this Negro enterprise. It reads as follows: "There is nothing doing for the Negro doll business among Negroes and consequently the exclusive Negro Doll Factory for Nashville will not materialize. Negro mothers have set their foot on the Negro Doll Movement in Nashville, and no matter what church, conference, or religious and educational associations advise Negro dolls for Negro children to play with, they will not be able to make it work. Thus all the hopes of Dr. R. H. Boyd and the Colored National Baptist Association came to naught. At the recent convention of the National Baptist Association, Dr. R. H. Boyd, a wealthy Negro preacher of Nashville, brought this matter up, and the convention unanimously endorsed the idea in the following resolution: "Whereas, Our people for half a century, because of the uncomely and deformed features of Negro dolls, have spent thousands of dollars on white dolls on Christmas, etc., therefore be it "Resolved, That we do here and now give our endorsement and hearty approval of the Negro Doll Factory, and not only urge the patronage of the people of our church, but of the race at large throughout the United States." "Securing a number of clever salesgirls, Dr. Boyd undertook to introduce the Negro dolls, explaining that his church had endorsed the move, but the proposition fell flat. 'Git out! My baby shan't play wid any ob dem baboons. Dey's just as good as anybody's chilluns, and is gwine to hab pretty white dolls to play wid.' This met the average salesgirl when she attempted to sell the dolls and Dr. Boyd has given up his pet scheme." Your correspondent, learning that such a notice had been sent out from Nashville, called upon Rev. R. H. Boyd, the President of the National Negro Doll Company, to ascertain the facts. Dr. Boyd stated that the report with regard to the failure of the National Negro Doll Company was false upon its face and that the only motive he could assign for sending out this special was as stated in the foregoing, that the Negroes had really resolved not to give their children white dolls, and that some of the merchants, like drowning men grasping at straws, attempted to save themselves by encouraging the sending out of false reports. The manager of the National Negro Doll Company, Mr. Henry A. Boyd, showed your correspondent his order-book which proves that orders for Negro dolls had been filled and shipped and sold in every state in the Union, and that they were hard at work attempting to supply the present demand. Already an enormous number of dolls is on hand, made up this year for the trade, preparatory to placing them in every Negro family in the United States. Dr. Boyd says further that these Negro dolls are not uncomely, but are the nearest approach to the refined and cultured Negroes of to-day that the artist could possibly produce. This malicious newspaper item was printed and circulated in the East, South and West, but was not used in THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1909. many of the Tennessee papers, said Dr. Boyd; but that his friends cut clippings and sent them to him. He desires through your correspondent to inform the public and patrons that the item was erroneous and intentionally false—the National Negro Doll Company is still a reality, furnishing Negro dolls for Negro children. Displays and exhibitions were made during most of the recent fairs, bazaars, and church entertainments in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and as far west as Washington and California. Various Federations of Women's Clubs have endorsed the idea and the "Woman's Era," of Omaha, Neb., edited by Mrs. E. Skaggs-Edwards, is very outspoken in their favor. NEGRO FRATERNAL HALL DE STROYED. Previously Warned Not to Build the Hall in That Part of the Town. On Thursday, November 22nd, the Negroes at Martin, Tenn., completed their Fraternal Hall, located some 200 yards north of the passenger station, and that night the building was burned to the ground. This building was located in a portion of Martin that has long been a Negro settlement, but recently many white families have built in that section and there has been a persistent effort to force the Negroes further back, this being adjacent to the passenger station and one of the most beautiful sections of Martin. When the Negro fraternity hall was started there a note of warning was received by them not to build at that place, stating that the building would either be blown to atoms or burned to the ground. The building material firm supplying the lumber was also warned to get its pay for material furnished, as the building would be destroyed as soon as completed. The building was practically completed on Thursday and preparations were making for a grand entertainment Friday night only to be deprived by the hall being burned Friday night. There was no insurance and the loss is about $1,000. An investigation will doubtless be made of the burning. BRIDAL LUNCHEON Miss Elizabeth Moore entertained with a beautifully appointed luncheon Sunday afternoon in honor of the two bridal parties, Dr. and Mrs. Alonzo Napier and Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr. The damask-covered table had for its central ornament a large cut glass vase of white chrysanthemums with a shower bouquet of the same flower hanging from the chandelier and almost touching the central ornament. The bridal idea was carried out in the place cards of cupids and in the elaborate menu. The cakes being individual hearts with the letters "N" and "P" beautifully embossed in white. Menu.

Thursday evening, November 18th, the beautiful parlors of Rev. G. S. Jackson, 707 Lea avenues were thrown open to welcome Mr. A. Buchanon who was accompanied by Mrs. Harriet Burkee. The object of the occasion was to solemnize the marriage vow between these two well known people. Many of their friends were present, and after the ceremony which was performed by Rev. G. S. Jackson they received congratulations from all present. They repaired to their home, 708 Division street, where their friends were served. OFFICE OF SHERIFF DECLARED VACANT. Frank E.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1909. DRAWING THE LINE. In the speeches made by Dr. Booker T. Washington during his recent tour of this state there was not an instance in which he did not urge upon the colored people to establish a dividing line in the race between the good and the bad. He took special pains to always emphasize the great necessity of drawing the line tight on all leaders—preachers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, or what not, every one essaying to represent the cause of the people should be required to live up to the very highest standard. Dr. Washington is right. There can be no greater charge brought against Negroes as a race than the accusation that they class all members of the race the same. It is too largely true, and the sooner that practice is changed the better it will be for the colored people. It is nonsense to argue that all black men are good and all white men bad. Negroes are made of flesh and blood as other people, and have in the race men and women of every character. There is one difference, but it is against us, and that is, the people in this country of African decent are mixed up with all the other nations of the world. They did not take the initiative in the procedure and are not as much to blame as the intruders; but the mixing has been done, and too by the mean element of the white races. So it is a wonder that the Negroes are no meaner than they are. It is a fact that cannot be disputed that there are good Negroes, millions of them; and there are bad Negroes, thousands of them. So the thing needed most in this respect is a weeding out. Pick the people who are believed to be honest and straight and put them up to lead, and when they do not lead the people properly, take them down and keep them down. And then in matters socially the Negroes of this country need to exercise more care and more bravery. Men and women should have the courage to say to those who do not conduct themselves properly, you cannot come into my family circle. It should not make any difference how well those seem to be getting along, if they are not living a respectable life they should not be allowed to thrust themselves on people who are living moral and industrious lives. There are some signs that will help the people to judge their neighbors. For instance, a woman is single, and THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1909. living in a fine house and has it beautifully decorated with the very best that can be had; she does not work nor has she any income to subsist upon—she is just living easy; that party's life should be looked into. It is the peoples' right to know how life can be made so easy for some people while others must labor night and day and deny themselves of many pleasures to have the comforts of life. Then there are men who go dressed up every day and never strike a lick of work. That class of individuals should also be given attention. It is difficult for mother to explain to daughter, or father to explain to son why some people should live so easy and they be compelled to work so hard. There is room for great improvement in the Negro race along this line. Too much mercy has been shown the immoral and dishonest men and women in the race. Good people are made to suffer for the wrong doings of others, and it will ever be so until a stand is taken by the people for the right. If a man is a gambler, class with him his kind and keep him in his class. If he is a preacher, or doctor, or lawyer, or teacher, and does not live up to the highest standard, demand that he surrender his station. If a woman is a prostitute put her in her class and keep her there. It does not matter whether she cohabits with black or white men—and a Negro woman who co-mingles with white men becomes a harlot of the lowest and most debased character—but put them all in the same class and keep them there. Too many white men's strumpets are taken up by the black men and held up as types of the highest citizenship. A millstone is about the neck of the race that will lead to degradation unless a line is drawn, and the good put on one side and the bad on the other. FOOTBALL. The lining up, piling up, smashing up season, better known by the scientific name football, has come to a close. An unusual number of fatalities resulted, and some colleges have abolished the sport altogether; but they are few. The people like the game, and as long as eleven can be found in the colleges to sacrifice the sport will go on. Negro schools in Nashville had a good year. The High School boys bagging another championship. The colleges, while conducting a high-class series, were robbed of part of their glory by the sad occurrence that prevented the Fisk and Atlanta Baptist College game. The people, however, are most interested in the playing. The games this year have been played in a gentlemanly way and have sat isfied all. Pardon us, but we must say, three cheers for Pearl High! whick! whack! whuck! ALABAMA AMENDMENT The 29th of November that they did not approve of the proposition to make prohibition a constitutional law in that state. It appears that there was something more than prohibiting the sale of liquor hid away in that amendment. The people were about to be deprived of other rights. So they proved that they were made of too sterner stuff to allow it to be done and on Monday they took the bit in their mouths and said to the radicals by their votes to the tune of 25,000 majority that Alabama must have freedom. The turn of affairs in our border state will, we dare say, be charged to the Negroes of Alabama, when as a matter of fact the Negroes were practically disfranchised several years ago. But black men are used to being charged with the doings of other men, so if it falls to their lot to be charged with the result of the Alabama election it will only be another star in their crown. If they put down Coerism in the gulf state their names should and will be called blessed. The Nashville American undoubtedly: you must have read Mr. Washington's speech through smoked glasses with the sheet upside down to construe as they did his statement relative to white people joining in a camapign to rid communities of that class of Negro men who live on "hand outs." The colored people, those that are industrious, desire to see that practice broken up; they realize how many young people are being ruined by its tolerance, but they know it cannot be done unless the people who employ servants see to it that the alley boarders are bidden to get their meals by the sweat of their own brow. We believe the thinking people understood Mr. Washington, and we further believe that many of the "hand out" pans in Nashville have begun to rust already. These attempts to thwart the truth do nobody any good. They may tickle the fancy of some, but when they laugh it is to their own damnation. Philadelphia citizens should feel proud to have a Negro paper twenty-five years old. The Tribune has done a great work, and holds an enviable place in the hearts of the people. President Taft is getting his message ready for Congress, and the newspapers are telling what he is going to say before he puts it on paper. This nation is truly growing wiser. Santa Claus is loading his wagon and we wonder if Cook and Peary disturbed his toys while they were sojourning in wonderland? If they did not how papa will weep. A constable in Maury County arrested his own son last Monday for shooting a Negro. Brave chap. He ought to have a Carnegie medal. The Hopkinsville Times celebrated its first anniversary in the last issue. We congratulate our contemporary and esteemed friend. COMMUNICATION. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. To the Nashville Globe: Dr. Booker T. Washington is one of the greatest of living Americans, in fact, he is one of the greatest men this country has ever produced. He is the product of his own indomitable pluck, courage and untiring and self-assertive energy. Like Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln who did not allow the accident of their birth or early environments to deter them from pushing their way upward to the foremost places of service and honor among their countrymen, so has it been with Booker T. Washington. He did not let circumstances nor lowly surroundings break his determination and defeat the purpose of his life. That this is true is eloquently demonstrated in what he has done and what he is doing. This remarkable man—for remarkable he is, forsooth—has made good his claim to the respect and honor accorded him by his fellow countrymen everywhere because of his solid worth. Back of him stands a monumental achievement of which any man of any people in any country and of any age might justly feel proud. Although born a slave, representing in his life, two American conditions—slavery and freedom—or two civilizations, this man has written his name, because of his marvelous life's work, high on the first honor-scroll that contains the names of first Americans. He has done this by working away at his task with a will and an energy that could not be frustrated by antagonistic forces. That he has escaped the shot and shell of opposition, whether honest or envious, that have enfladed his position, is the wonder of those who have watched and studied the man and the unfolding of his great career. Despite the shafts of the envious, the indifference of half-hearted and lukewarm friends, this man of destiny—a destiny of his own making—armed cap-a-pie in armor which could not be pierced, pressed steadily forward, always in the thickest of the fray and against contending odds, toward the point of vantage. At last he has reached it, and now at his side are others who have caught his spirit and enlisted; and right nobly are they contending with similar weapons against the same common racial foes, some from within and some from without.

Terms moderate. the battle has raged around this re-doubtable warrior, it was easy to tell where his sword was flashing in the fight by the white plume of the industrial doctrine that waved above his crested head. He has been and is now to his people more than a Henry of Navarre. Booker T. Washington for years kept his own counsel in the face of the most bitter tirades and storms of abuse in which it was said that he was a white-folks' Negro, that he was self-centered, vacillating, and grasping. None of these things moved him to divulge his maturing plans for general, national service in the interest of all of his people, and therein may now be seen his consummate statesmanship. He saw far beyond the horizon that bound the limited vision of his detractors. He, in company with other able men of his people, is now building up wholesome sentiment in the interest of all the people. Someone once said I care not how late I come into life—meaning active service—since I come prepared, and so was it with Mr. Washington. He is now prepared to do his noblest work, and he is doing it. His speaking tour through this State has done more real good in making clear the benefits that will accrue to both races by justice being given and reciprocated by each than any other agency in years, if at any time. Long live Booker T. Washington to continue his inestimable services, such as he has been rendering for more than a week in this State, in infusing hope and encouragement in his people to do their best in every walk of life and in the best sense, and his appeal to the honor and sense of justice of the whites to assist in this laudable work of uplifting all the people to the eternal credit and lasting betterment of our fair Southland. To the Editor of the Nashville Globe: Please allow me space in your most excellent paper to say a few words concerning our work at Franklin, Tenn. The First Baptist Church has never been in a better condition. When Rev. I. J. Jordan took charge of us we were about as nearly dead, both spiritually and financially, as a church could be and yet be alive. But since Rev. I. J. Jordan has been here the church has taken on new life, the community is wide awake to every movement for the uplift of our people. We have just closed one of the most successful meetings ever held in Franklin. Rev. S. S. Cumby is a gospel and revival preacher. He knows how to reach our people. Our church is stirred as never before. Pray for our success. May the Lord bless us. A FRIEND.

Editor of The Globe: The officers of St. James A. M. E. Church granted me more than two weeks' vacation which I am spending very pleasantly with my family. Cleveland is a city of about nine thousand inhabitants, with six col- ored churches, one academy and one public school. I visited each of the schools and found them doing good. The colored people are doing well in the way of buying land and build- ing up good, respectable homes. There are several colored groceries, and each appears to be doing a good, thriving business.

He says that he had two aunts and three uncles. The names of his uncles are Richard, Joe and Edward and the names of his aunts are Bettie and Sarah. When he last heard from his family, some were living in Fayetteville, Tenn., and some in Nashville.

Her final and fatal illness began on Monday, November 22nd, when she failed to breakfast with the family as was her custom, remaining abed. Being a constant and patient sufferer from asthma for some years, this fact occasioned no surprise to those about her, nor did her continued indisposition and debility. But on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the midst of suddenly acute suffering, her days came to an end and she fell asleep. Her Christian life began in her youth and for about sixty years she was a faithful and devout member of the church. / Her membership was held for the greater part of the time in the old Spruce Street Baptist Church, though more recently she considered it best to unite with Howard Congregational Church. The completeness with which these Christian virtues were manifested in her made her universally beloved, securing her the familiar address of "Mother" Napier. Her ideals and devotion to her children are to be seen in the fact that at a time when the police forbade the opening of schools for colored children and closed the doors of such as were opened surreptitiously, this good woman then sent her children off to Ohio and there secured their education. Throughout her long life of more than 84 years she maintained a steady interest and activity in all affairs about her and shed upon all who came about her a benign influence, the token of the breadth and depth of her love. She rests, crowned with the devoted love of relatives and friends, a "crown that fadeth not away." Her last words were "I go in peace."

NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD. 523 SECOND AENUE, NORTH, Tennessee. he teaches the High School course. On Thursday evening of the 25th inst., a nuptial social storm was made upon Prof. and Mrs. Merry; a body of about twenty friends gathered at Mr. Homer Northington's, from which place they went unostentatiously to the former's home about 9 o'clock p.m., but the young couple looked out and saw what was about to happen, and was equal to the emergency and a repast was hurriedly prepared and was greatly enjoyed by all; and with showers of fun and jollification more than three hours swiftly passed away, but before their jolly guests were allowed to leave, Prof. Merry in his usual pleasing manner expressed to them his deep appreciation for the very agreeable social surprise extended him and wife. His remarks were replied to by Dr. Burt, acting spokesman for the body, who in a few well-chosen words expressed to the Professor and wife the real pleasure it gave to all of their friends to have them as new acquisitions to the social, literary and religious circles of Clarksville. One of the most auspicious occasions possibly ever seen in Clarksville was the visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the acknowledged Negro leader of the race, last Tuesday, November 23rd. There were possibly eight thousand people gathered into the city to see the parade and to hear the distinguished visitor. He reached Clarksville about 9 o'clock on a special train, consisting of a day coach and Pullman sleeping cars. He was accompanied by a delegation of about forty of the leading Negroes of the country. A long parade of carriages carrying the guests and some of the prominent local Negroes with a special rig for Mr. Washington, formed at the L. and N. depot and proceeded up tenth street to the public school, where an impromptu reception had been prepared by the principal, Miss Lizzle Ramsey, assisted by the teachers and superintendent. It was a beautiful sight—a thousand Negro children enthusiastically singing patriotic songs and giving the High School yell. The parade proceeded through some of the principle streets of the city, where some of the homes were beautifully decorated, thence to the Opera House. The building was packed from pit to dome, fully half of the audience being white. Dr. Booker T. Washington came under the auspices of the Local Negro Business League. Dr. Robt. T. Burt, who is president, was master of ceremonies; in a few felicitious remarks he introduced Senator Dancy Fort en enthusiast songs and giv- all.

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 wne are de lrous 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 who extended a welcome on the part of the city at large for Mayor Northington; Hon. Michael Savage, on the part of the Chamber of Commerce; Rev. George W. Porter on the part of the churches. Rev. Porter's speech was one of eloquence and brilliancy. Then Dr. S. Jefferson on the part of the professions. Hon. J. C.

Washington: and his col- leagues to this city on the 20th inst. ‘The weather was ideal, A large num- ber of both races were at the depot when the special train arrived that bore the Washington party, Amid the crowd was seen a group of very rep- resentative colored men who, (as near- ly as can be remembered by the re- porter) gave the yell: “Hurrah! rah! ree! Booker T.! He's the man! From Ala-bam! ‘We're: the ra ra race! Come to see the fa, fa, face! Of each who come! ‘With Washington!” A number of rigs provided by the local committee met the train, ‘Then too, the private turn-outs of Dr. W. J. Astrapp, Mr. and Mrs, Carrol Hawkins and Miss Janie A. Lightfoot were on hand. Mr. J. D. Martin, with his Washington, his private secretary, Em- carriage and automobile, seated Dr. mett Scott, his physician, Dr. —-—'| and a company of other gentlemen and drove to the Martin residence and there took breakfast in high style, while Drs, C. V. Roman, R. F. Boyd, H, T. Noel, Hon. P. F. Hill and others drove to Dr. Astrapp’s office on Cedar avenue, and from there to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Lightfoot on the Hast side, where a four-course breakfast was served to the delight of all present. The line of procession was formed at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. D, Mar- tin, headed by Dr. Washington, Mr. Emmett Scott, private secretary, and Dr. Astrapp seated in the automo- bile; then followed Dr. C. V. Roman seated in a buggy with Mr. Curring- ton; Dr. Noel and Hon. P. F. Hiil seated -in surrey with Mr, and Mrs. Carrol Hawkins and Dr. R. F. Boyd seated in buggy with Miss Janie Lightfoot. These rigs were trimmed very prettily with national flags and bunting with the stars and stripes. | Mr. Robt. Elliot and his male quartet were present in his automobile. Peo- | ple from four adjoining counties were | present. Wilson's Theater was packed | with both colored and white people. }} Some of the best whites of the city || and other parts were as eager to hear the world’s matchless leader, as were »| the people of his race, The male .| quartet sang. Dr. Washington was | introduced to the audience by Mayo W. H. Wilson, who spoke of him || as being “the biggest and greatest t| colored man in the United States;’ ,|then he added, “the biggest anc greatest Negro in the world.” Dr .| Washington was heartily applauded by .| the large audience when he arose. Hi »| requested some one to sing a Negr< song as no other race could sing Ne | sro songs like Negroes. Prof. W. L Miller led by singing “Give me tha’ old time religion,” which was sun; with the spirit blended with humo and pathos. Dr. Washington dwelt 3] upon the necessity of moral leaders— t) ministers and school teachers referre ¥|to strongly; frugal and economica 8| wage-earners; responsibility and rel -| ability of employee; the survival o al the fittest; the whites a great facto elin stamping out the “business” o +| loafers, gamblers, rounders and dead S| beats generally, The principles he ad S| vocated were good medicine for bot | races; and there is no doubt but tha h| both races in this whole valley wil a) profit by Rearing the great good-sens S| lecture delivered by the colored pres! | dent of the race, All returned to th 3}| Martin residence for dinner, Mr. Lay T| the photographer, performed his dut S/ at the theater and also at the residenc d|of Mr. J.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1909 While Fisk and Meharry were pummelling each other at Athletic Park on Thanksgiving day, the football clubs representing the Burrell Normal School and Pearl High School of Nashville were fighting it out in Florence, Ala. Burrell was one of the hardest propositions which Pearl has met this year and by no means was it certain that the victory was Pearl's until shortly after the beginning of the second half when condition began to tell. It was then found that Burrell had shot her bolt and was unequal to the hard and bitter fight that Pearl was bringing to her. Pearl was outweighed by Burrell but was always on the go. The line charged hard, low, and fast and the speedy backs from the High School were frequently on the defense of Burrell before they were ready to play. Once the High School had a sure touchdown but an unfortunate fumble lost them the ball and Burrell immediately kicked out of danger. On another occasion a Pearl back failed to catch a punt and a Burrell player fell on the ball near the High School goal line. Here her defences stiffened, the line held, Burrell failed to gain and was forced to hand the ball over to the sturdy warriors from Tennessee. Pearl immediately kicked out and was not again in danger of being scored on. The game was called at 3:30. Burrell won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Pearl kicked and the runner was spilled on the twenty-five yard line. Two efforts failed to advance the ball and the Burrell quarter called for a kick. The ball got by the full-back on a low pass and rolled over the goal line where a Burrell player fell on it making a safety for Burrell and counting two points for Pearl. The ball was brought out and Burrell kicked to Pearl. A series of end runs and line plays together with a forward pass brought the ball to Burrell's five yard line. Captain Davis was then sent over the line for the first touchdown of the game. Hurt missed the goal. Pearl kicked to Burrell. The runner made a good return, but Burrell was soon forced to punt. Pearl failed to handle the punt successfully and the ball was Burrell's in the High School's territory. First down was made and right here Burrell tried a peculiar formation which worked beautifully and got their big fullback, Pool, though the line and past the backs for a touchdown. Pool missed the goal. Burrell kicked to Pearl who worked the ball steadily into Burrell's territory. A forward pass here, Davis to Waddy, netted about twenty yards and a touchdown. Hurt missed the goal. The second half was a repetition of the first half except that Pearl scored only once and Burrell did not score at all. This half was notable only for the determined manner in which Pearl went for Burrell. Burrell kicked to Pearl who advanced the ball steadily but lost it twice only to regain it on downs or a kick. The procession started which ended with Hurt carrying the ball over for the final score of the game. The goal was missed. The Burrell line had lost its fighting strength and a kicking game was resorted to for the rest of the half. The game ended with the ball in Burrell's possession on her own forty yard line. The line-up follows: Pearl. Position Burrell. Duncan . L. E. Armstead-Glenn Allison . L. T. Hampton Williams . L. G. Glenn-Reynolds Anderson . C. Gibson Chrismon . R. G. Rapier-Stafford Whittaker . R. T. Rose Waddy . R. E. E. Portlock Johnson . Q. B. Pruitt Hurt . L. H. B. Waits (Capt.) Floyd . R. H. B. I. Portlock Davis (Capt.) F. B. Pool Officials—Dr. Smith (Pearl), Referee; Mr. White, (Burrell), Umpire; Dr. Suggs, field judge; Mr. Cameron (Pearl) head linesman; Dr. Davis and Mr. Carter, timekeepers. Time of halves, 25 minutes each. Touchdowns, Pool, Davis, Hurt, Waddy, Safety, counting 2 for opponents, Pool. Floyd made the longest run of the game. He got away for thirty-five yards before he was stopped. Pool comes next with twenty-five yards. Captain Waits received a severe cut over the eye and was forced to leave the game. The work of the ends and fullback of Burrell deserves special mention. The Burrell team on the whole was a finely balanced team. Every man worked hard and did good work. Pearl pulled together as it has done every game this year, and won by skill. Ira Davis was re-elected to lead the team for the season of 1910. The election was he'd on train returning to Nashville. Every member of the party was required to make a speech. Each one recounted the good time spent in Florence and all resolved to work for a winner next year. Pearl has not lost a game this season. Every team of her class whom she met has been defeated. She now closes her most successful season in football. MURFREESBORO NOTES. Mrs. Katie L. Page was hostess of a prettily arranged.
