No.50 Lilium SEVENTEEN YEARS OF CON- STANT SERVICE SEVENTEEN YEARS OF CON- STANT SERVICE A fitting recognition of the yeoman's service that has been given to the Mt. Olive Baptist Church by Rev. Chas. Henry Clark, D. D., as its pastor was the anniversary celebration held last Sunday and Monday at the church. The affair was planned by the members of the church, under the leadership of such untiring workers as Deacons Porch Gibbs, Tate, Martin and Body, Mesdames Douglass, Rucker, Pride, Drake and others too numerous to mention. The celebration began Sunday morning in Sunday-school, when a lecture was given by Dr. Winrow, who spoke on the prominence that had been given the church by its present leader. At the eleven o'clock hour Dr. Clark preached. At the afternoon service Rev. G. B. Taylor, a member of Mt. Olive, who is pastoring the Second Baptist Church, delivered the anniversary sermon, in the presence of a magnificent audience. At night Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D., of Richmond, Va., a life-long friend of Dr. Clark, filled the rubbit. Notwithstanding the inclement weather Sunday and Sunday night all of the services were largely attended. The climax to the celebration was reached Monday night, when a banquet was tendered the pastor in the Sunday-school auditorium. The room was tastefully decorated for the occasion. An arch, suspended from the ceiling, bearing this inscription "Triumphant arch of the seventeen years of the pastorate of Charles Henry Clark 1892-1909." A life-sized picture of Dr. Clark as he appeared in 1892 was under one end of the arch, and another one as he appears 1909 graced the other end. A table accommodating fifty guests, constructed in the shape of the letter "C," was spread on the platform. At this table the ministers of the city, the professional men, their families and prominent visitors were served, while the congregation was served seated in opera chairs in the auditorium proper. Rev. A. W. Porter, of the North Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, was master of ceremonies. Rev. Porter announced supper was ready. After Dr. Clark and the guests had marched out of the office around the table and were seated at the table, Grace was said by Rev. T. Spencer Jackson, pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. An elaborate mehu was served. The following responded to toasts: Rev. R. H. Boyd, "Dr. Clark's pastorate of Mt. Olive from national point of view;" Dr. R. F. Boyd, M. D., "Dr. Clark's friendship to charity as a pastor;" Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. M., D. D., "Dr. Clark as an associate pastor in Nashville;" R. L. Mayfield, Attorney-at-Law, "Dr. Clark as a public-spirited man;" Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., "Dr. Clark's service to the denomination in Tennessee;" Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, "Dr. Clark as a thinker and leader;" Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D., Richmond, Va., "Dr. Clark as a lifelong friend;" J. Thomas Turner, Attorney-at-Law, a poem, "A Master Mind," dedicated to Dr. C. H. Clark in honor of his seventeenth anniversary. Mrs. Elnora Towsen read a paper on behalf of the ladies in which she portrayed many beautiful traits and characteristics of the honoree. Mrs. Pearl Merry read a short paper, after which she presented a bath-robe from the Progressive Club of the church. Mrs. Amanda Drake read a paper on the occasion, presenting the pastor with a broad-cloth Prince Albert suit. Rev. John Ridley read a paper on "Dr. Clark as a Sunday-school organizer." At the conclusion of these presentations and toasts, the pastor was found lacking in words with which to respond. He made extended remarks describing his early pastorate, making particular mention of Deacon Tate as a diplomat. Rev. I. J. Jordan, of Franklin, Tenn., pronounced the benediction. An interesting bit of history is connected with the services of Nashville's (Continued on Page 7.) 10 A GREAT BOOK [Oval portrait of a man in formal attire].

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.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1909. The marriage of Mr. L. C. Lawrence to Miss Jennie Porterfield comes as quite a surprise to their many friends. On last Sunday evening, December 1, at 7 o'clock, they were quietly married at the home of Rev. Spencer Jackson. Only a few friends witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Walter Starks and Miss Emma Stevenson were quietly married in the parlor of the Copeland Hotel Tuesday evening, December 7. Those present were Mrs. Jas. Parks and Mrs. Ernest Robertson. Mrs. A. A. J. BLAINE [Portrait of a young man in formal attire, facing slightly to the right]. J. BLAINE BOYD. Among the young men of the South who are making a record as a skilled mechanic there is none who shines with more brilliancy or who has made a greater record in the same period of times than has J. Blaine Boyd, Foreman of the Pressroom at the National Baptist Publishing House. Recently the head of the institution with which he is connected decided to install in his pressroom an All-Size Scott Rotary Book Press. Negroes had never owned or handled such a machine before. The question naturally arose, Who will operate the press? No white man had ever been employed as the foreman of the National Baptist Publishing House, and seldom have any been employed to do anything—in fact, there is not a single white man working, in that place now. But as no Negro had ever operated a Rotary Book press, there was some anxiety from many quarters as to just what would be done Mitchel, Mrs. L. J. Wells, Mr. T. Manning and Mrs. F. E. Former, Mr. E. L. Baker, Miss A. Allen, Mr. Lesley Hicks and Mr. Joseph Peyton. An elaborate supper was served. A marriage that will surprise Nashville friends is that of Miss Minnie E. White and Mr. Elliott Chamblain, which took place Sunday, November 28, at the residence of Mrs. Henry Turner, of 3528 Dearborn street, Chicago, Rev. Cato, of Trinity Baptist Church, officiating. Miss White was one of Nashville's society young women and quite popular, but has made her home in Chicago for the past year. The groom is one of Chicago's young business men and well thought of. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only intimate friends being present. The bride was beautiful in white silk. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Turner, Mr. L. Ford, Miss Hardy, Mrs. Humley, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, Mrs. M. Ford, Miss Lula Grant and Mr. Richard Mason, of Nashville, Teen. At 11:30 a beautiful wedding supper was served. --- WEDDINGS.

I live four miles from one town and two miles from the other town. I live in Marshall County. I wish you would bring me everything that is nice to eat. Please bring some candy, oranges, and mixed nuts and raisins. Please bring me a dress. Don't fornice things to eat. Please don't forget my little girl friends and bring them something nice. And don't forget my aunt Zana and mama and grandmother and grandpapa and remember them all and bring them something nice. Good bye, from your little friend E BOYD. in this instance. But when the time arrived for the press to be erected and the erector came from the factory to install the machine, young Boyd was told to appoint some one in his department to look after matters, don his overalls, and set in to assist the erector in putting up the press. He obeyed that order willingly. When the press was ready for operation, very much to the surprise of all, the man who had built the machine said to the manager, Dr. Boyd, that Blaine was competent to handle the machine. So this young man, aside from conducting the affairs of his department, operates this All-Size Press that has a capacity of over 6,000 impressions per hous. The erector only operated the machine one half day, and young Boyd has just finished a run of all the quarteriles for the National Baptist Publishing House for the first quarter, 1910. The work was done without a hitch, which speaks volumes for this young man. Hello, Mr. Santa Claus—How are you? I am happy as can be because you are coming. I am old enough to enjoy Xmas.

His attainments consist of some of the finest farm land as can be found anywhere, or as rich timber-land as that which belts the mountains of Maine, and coal-land for which many are offered as high as $5,000 a year, and oil-land that yields them a comfortable sum. Some are developing their natural resources, others are selling theirs for a small sum, still others are mortgaging theirs and are never able to redeem it, and some are letting theirs go unattended. Races from the state who have long since become citizens by adoption or choice, too, have had their chances and many have accepted and made a fortune. This state is very generous to her sons and daughters. The best law that can be couched in a constitution is that which looks to individual development of its offspring into useful and upright citizenship. The constitution of this state provides for compulsory attendance upon the school taking the high ground that it will cost the state less to educate its citizens than to keep court and build and maintain prisons. $500,000 is not a small sum for her permanent school fund, aside from varied other sources she receives money for the support of her schools. The natives respond to instruction readily. Lessons in sobriety, truth and morality must largely be by example. Atoka, the city of my present labor.

Day, formerly of Paul Quinn College, Texas; Rev., C. M. McCullough, of C. M. E. Connection. Rev. E. F. T. Moin, of Texas, to the delight of all, took for his subject "Praise the Lord." He showed exclusively what Thanksgiving meant to a nation, to a race and to an individual. He closed by urging his auditors to perfect strong character. He pointed to the fact that great kingdoms, great rulers in all ages that have crumbled and fallen had done so by loose character. Mrs. Mary Smalling gave a birthday party in honor of the fifth anniversary of her little daughter, Emma, at the residence of Mrs. J. W. McLemore, 1530 Mary street.

The table was decorated with malden hair ferns and chrysanthemums and in the center of the table stood the birthday cake with five lighted candles. A color-scheme of pink and yellow was carried out in the icees. As souvenirs the little ones were given baskets of candy. Those present were Bettie Morton, Sallie McGavock, Bertha Ellis, Kittle B.

The relation existing between the whites and blacks is quite pleasant. Progress is shown in the development of the city. Recently a large area of territory was incorporated by the city. It has in the way of development what others of our first-class cities have—electric plant, water works, paved streets, concrete sidewalks, etc. The city Board of Education has recently had erected and furnished with modern desks and appliances a beautiful school building at a cost of $5,000.

The time is near at hand when people throughout the world celebrate the Christmas festival. It is an annual occasion that brings joy to the hearts of many. Scores, however, are to be found in every community who have not thought to prepare for the "rainy days" that come to all during a life time, and these are generally classed as the unfortunates. The meaning of the word Christmas is giving to those who need most to be given to, and right on this point is where so many of us make the greatest mistake. We give to our friends fine gifts, but in most cases they are not in need of gifts, and often do not appreciate what we give, therefore, it would be more sensible, and more in keeping with the lesson intended to be taught, to give to those unfortunate creatures in the community. The American Negroes, especially those in the Southern states, are not as public-spirited toward the needy of their race as they should be on this annual occasion. We have among us a great army of boys and girls whose hearts we could make glad on Christmas morning if we would deny ourselves to an extent and contribute to a public fund to be used for the purpose of making others happy. There are lodges and societies that meet in their halls during the holidays and spread great feasts to the members of the Order and their friends, but forget those who probably did not have a good square meal on Christmas morning, and the hundreds of children that are in need of clothing to keep them warm. A charitable people make a strong race; public-spirited citizens serve as the connecting links; the Negroes of this country would do well to awaken to these facts, and there is no better time than Christmas to impress the people that every man is his brother's keeper. THE EARLINGTON IDEA. With to-day's issue of The Globe we are able to present an account of the Earlington Idea, from the pen of the veteran writer, Phil. H. Brown. The Earlington Idea encircles around Mr. John P. Atkinson, president of the St. Bernard Mining Company at Earlington, Ky., and an unselfish philanthropist and constant friend of the colored people. Mr. Atkinson's Company, the St. Bernard, employs thousands of col- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1909 ored men in the mines and applies the merit system to the positions they occupy. He has wiped out the colorline in the industrial structure of his company. The door of opportunity for the colored people in Earlington is not only wide open, but completely off its hinges. The company is not only digging coal, but digging character. It is helping every man to help himself. Into the hopes and aspirations of the Negro workman, as well as its white, the company has interwoven itself and spares neither pain nor expense in bringing about the progress of the people. The plan is unique, extremely successful and highly important to the colored people all of whom may read of this happy Earlington Idea with surpassing interest. IMPEDIMENTS. There are some things that the Negroes of this city will have to do before they can hope to be looked upon as brave and courageous men. One among the many that so constantly confronts them and that they should remedy without delay is this, they allow individuals to make themselves conspicuous in public meetings who are not worthy to even be admitted to the building. When the citizens are called together to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the people, it is generally conceded to the most substantial men and women of the community to take the lead in everything to be said or done, and when those who have not conducted themselves properly, but on the other hand have been known to live corrupt lives, are allowed to come in such meetings and vie with those whom the people look upon as men and women of moral standing, the intent and purposes for which the assembly met is often destroyed, and I in every such instance the confidence of the people is weakened. The Negro men of Nashville owe it to the women of the race and to their posterity to see to it that these objectionable characters are not permitted to thrust themselves on the people. The man or the woman who is living a life that is questionable is not a wholesome subject to put before the people, and is apt to weild a bad influence on some young mind every time they are allowed to do so. During the last presidential campaign there were those of the Negro race living in the North who feared that if Bryan were elected he would appoint a man on the Supreme Court bench from the South should a vacancy occur. Bryan was defeated, but Judge H. H. Lurton, a Kentuckian by birth and a Tennessee by adoption, has been appointed. The Negroes of the South have never entertained any more fear from the men appointed to the Supreme bench from the South than those from other sections of our country. We believe Judge Lurton to be a man of too good breeding to stoop to anything other than fair dealing toward all men. And Mr. Carnegie has been made to say that Peary was the only man to reach the pole. The steel magnate's declaration, if he has been quoted correctly, disqualifies Dr. Cook absolutely. Undoubetedly, the learned doctor has heard of others saying similar things about him, and must be immune to pain by this time. Our night school is not being attended as largely as it might be. Every seat in the building would be filled if one-tenth of those who can and need to attend should apply for admission. Interest yourselves about the welfare of your neighbor, it will pay in the end. If the price of Turkeys continues to increase, some wise one will be called upon to invent a converter. Then roosters and ten-year-old hens will have to look out. Next Friday will be cleaning day at the county workhouse. All of those who need a short sentence to tame them had better get in now. It is more blessed to give to the reedy than to those who do not need your gifts. COMMUNICATION. Christmas and the Children. To the Nashville Globe: Christmas is the season in which the joy of universal childhood reigns supreme, because it is the season wheren their young and tender minds are taught to know as the gift season, and that they are to be the objects of especial attention and kindness, the recipients of a generous share of good things suitable to filling full their cup of childish joy. Even to grown-ups it is a keen and satisfying pleasure to go back in their memories to the heyday period of early years and live over again the innocent joys and pleasures with which it was rife. It is this period of life, whatever may be its vicissitudes, that looms up so distinctly, so affectionately against the background of the past and ever ravishes with its memories the hearts of those who have passed on up life's highway until it has become a serious affair, an actuality filled with stern and unbending realities. Though this is true, the grown-up children persist in imaginatively returning to the "fountain of youth"—that childhood period which cannot, will not die—and rejuvenating themselves in its deathless, ever-living memories. Who is he or she that objects to this envious, jealous clinging to the beautiful dreams that filled up the halcyon Christmas days of youth? He or she who does has had a life that was a Sahara in which there was no oasis. Make the children happy and in so doing you can make yourself happy. You can live over in their joys your own gladsome days of yore. Let old Santa Claus in at the chimney. See to it that no obstruction prevents his descent to deposit a generous share into each little stocking. If you do not, Christmas morning they will miss their keenest joy and you will miss yours and will stand convicted of the gravest crime unpunishable by law. Break not the beautiful, entrancing mith to their childish fancy, that will come soon enough, and am too soon! UNION PUBLISHING COMMITTEE MEETING. The meeting of the National Baptist Union Publishing Committee, which has charge of the publishing of the Union, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, was held at the office of the B. Y. P. U. Board, 409 Gay street, Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was presided over by Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., of Montgomery, Ala. The members present were mostly those of the city. This committee, so it is learned, met to complete arrangements for the continuance of the publishing of the denomination's organ as provided by the last session of that body in Columbus, O. Mr. J. Thomas Turner, the Secretary, and Mr. T. G. Ewing, the Treasurer, are the two Nashville attorneys who are connected with the committee. It was not learned what transpired at this meeting. BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD MEETS. On Tuesday the regular monthly meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board was held at the office of the Secretary, 523 Second avenue, North. This was the last regular meeting of the Board for 1909. The meeting was well attended, although none of the out-of-town members were present. It was expected that Dr. Morris, President of the National Convention, would be here, as well as Revs. C. A. Bell, of Chattanooga, and T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville. Chairman Clark and Secretary Boyd reported a splendid outlook for the Board during the winter. No information was given out as to the proceedings. When the Negores quit fighting each other, when they quit pledging themselves to build up other races, regardless of themselves then, and not until then, will there be a change for the better. Better citizens, better results and recognition. The conditions are not the same now as they once were and are not to be considered in a slight manner. There is no great opposition to that class of men and women who are aiming at higher ideals in life from racial standpoint. The leaders are criticised severely by members of the race for doing that which they think best for all. What are we to do? Some must lead and some follow, those who are among the last named should be contented and help push those who are in a position to do.—The Reporter.

She is looking well. Charley Saunders, of Nashville, returned home a few days ago from Turner Normal, on account of sickness. We wish him a speedy recovery. His little sister, "Midget," left with him, but will return after the holidays. The students of Turner Normal are preparing to render the cantata, "The Prince of Israel" on the 23rd. This will close the term. Some other exercises will also take place on the same evening, among which will be the popular spectacular drill, "The Vestal Virgins." The Turner Normal Nightingale Quartette has been reorganized and are now making great preparation for a tour during the holidays. They will take in Chattanooga this season. Miss Willie H.

Few entertainments of the winter have equalled, in beauty of plan and elaborateness of decorations, the reception given Monday, December 6th, by Mrs. Watson Boyd at her residence on Sylvan street when she entertained the Azala Art Club. The beautiful Boyd home is admirably adapted to entertaining, and on this occasion, with lavish decorations of ferns and evergreen it presented a most attractive appearance. At three o'clock the guests began to arrive and were all seated in the reception room. Mrs. Henry Ransom, President, presided over the meeting. Miss Susie Bender, the Chaplain, sang and repeated the Lord's prayer. At roll-call each answered with a quotation. An excellent program was rendered by Mrs. W. Epperson, Miss Bender and M. E. Snowden. The queries were read by Miss Bender. Some time was spent in needlework. The progress of this club has been very successful under the direction of Mrs. H. Ransom, who has been president for ten months. Mrs. D. Pitts, of South Nashville, was introduced and made a nice talk encouraging the club. Mrs. S. E. Griggs, of East Nashville, was also guest of the club and spoke of the Woman's Sentiment Moulding Club, in which she is interested. After her address the club unanimously voted to assist in this work. After the routine of business the hostess invited her guests to the dining room, where the color scheme of red, white and green was further emphasized. Long streamers extended from each corner of the room to the table, where seven candles were lighted. Those to enjoy Mrs. Boyd's hospitality were Mesdames H. Ransom, Thos. Ridley, W. Epperson, Alex Kirk, Thos. Wilson, Thos. Morgan Cynthia Boyd, D. Pitts, S. E. Griggs Misses Susie Bender, Josie Woods, Ella B. Driver, Donnie Smith and M. E. Snowden.

COLLEGE CLASS ENTERTAINED. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Richardson, of 1017 Sixteenth avenue, North, was ablaze with light on Friday evening, December 10th, the occasion being the entertainment of the college class and faculty of Fisk University, Scovel Richardson, their son, being a member of the former. "1910" was emblazoned in one of the front windows. The decorations were in the class colors and were emphasized both in the flowers and the elaborate menu. Cards with little pencils attached were passed around and the class was asked to write a Christmas rhyme. Judges were selected, consisting of Miss Scribner, Dr. Morrow and Prof. Talley. Much fun and laughter was caused on the reading of the efforts of the young poets. Mr. Dawson was the happy winner, the prize being a box of candy. Several of the more frolicsome took off Booker T. Washington, the Mayor and others, to the intense delight of all. Mrs. Richardson was assisted in receiving by the two charming girls, Misses De-Graphenried and Blanch Atwood.

For the past three years he has been conducting an educational campaign and rally in the interest of the university located at Tyler, Texas, which bears his name. He has been surprisingly successful, not that any unusual good luck has attended the good bishop, but that his well-laid plans have carried amazingly well. On this trip a little more than $10,000 were raised, all of which was for the indebtedness of the school. It will be remembered that in June the new dormitory costing something over $30,000, was dedicated, and these campaigns were inaugrated for the purpose of clearing out this indebtedness. The C. M. E. connection has been putting some of its strongest efforts recently in education which has resulted in the general educational shake-up so that quite a number of their schools are reorting success, larger enrollments, and a brighter outlook than heretofore. Among the schools taking high rank is Phillips University, it having gained much prominence in the last three or four years, located as it is in one of the most progressive states in the Union.

The Fighting Chauffeur. Earl Gordon, formerly of this city, will leave Chicago for Nashville on his way to Memphis, where he expects to take on some of the best 165-pound boys in the South. Mr. Gordon did not do very much touring in 1909. He drove his Thomas car to Cincinnati, O., Madison, Wis., and Indianapolis, Ind. But he trained hard all the summer with Johnny Harper, better known as Klondike, the only man that ever knocked out Jack Johnson. Mr. Gordon will arrive in Nashville February 8, 1910, and would like to take on any of the boys before leaving for Memphis, and would like to bet a liberal side bet. The side bet can be placed with the sporting editor of the Globe. He is known in the sporting world as Joe Gordon, the Fighting Chauffeur, of Chicago, Ill. Tennessee All Prep. Team. (By J. Wymon Brady.) The prep. teams all over the state played a better article of football this season than ever was played before by teams of this class. As I want to do justice to all the boys, I will say they have done well to a boy. As we all know, there are some that have done better than the rest. I will try to pick the best in the state in this class. Pearl has the call on all the rest for first honors. There is one remarkable thing about each team, and that is this: you can't say any one of them was a one man team, for every boy played his place well. However, there are two or three boys in the state in this class that could make good on most of the big college teams of the South. The season has been a record season in every way from a football standpoint. Pearl has won every game from teams in her class. Bradley falls in line with all of her games won. Pearl and Bradley failed to meet this season on account of disagreement about dates, that was one of the seasons big disappointments to the lovers of Prep. football.

Leopold, king of Belgium, who re- cently underwent an operation and is still very ill, is making a desper- ate fight for life—a life so full, of his evil doings that it is a disgrace to the entire world. He is afraid of death, that which he has ‘sanctioned and allowed his henchmen to in- flict upon the poor, helpless natives in his African possessions, who were ‘unable to perform their impossible tasks In gathering rubber.

The organization may still be in existence for aught I know, or it may have gone where the woodbine twineth, which would be a shame, for it as about the only thing that could keep Texans in good hu- mor when the boll weevil was work- ing. “Tf the league depended upon the patronage of its own people for sup- port it would have died of inanition, but with a sense of humor the white folks coughed up their two-bit pieces to watch the comedy, and: never failed to get more than their money's worth, “The organization had one *charac- ter, an umpire, who Invariably wore a long, light-colored linen duster, when rendering decisions. This gar- ment, buttoned tight around the neck and split fall length up the back, was an object of much ridicule and a target for shafts of near-wit, as its wearer tore around the diamond, try- ing to keep track of the plays. “Tl say one thing for that umpire, ‘he was as full of good intentions as a tax return, and what he lacked in dignity he made up in willingness. “Tt was a sight for tired eyes to see this umps work. His method, to say the least, was original and ef- fective. With a runner on base and the ball hit, he'd decide quick as a flash upon which man the play would be made, arfd would light out for the base on the third speed, the tails of his duster stretching out behind like the wash on a windy day. “He always finished the last few yards on his wishbone, throwing him- self flat and sliding into the bag with the runner, to get a better view of he play and render nis decision ac- cording to facts. Not much more dig- nified, perhaps, than a pair of spoons picked up by a searchlight, but for effect it had supreme court decision beaten to a whisper.” Mrs, B. F. Wilson, the M. W.

THE EARLINGTON IDEA THE HOME OF THE HOME OF THE HOME ROW OF HOUSES OWNED BY COLORED MIN..RS 18 ```markdown ``` PHIL. H. BROWN. Earlington, Ky., Dec. 12, 1909. "Hello, Jim," said the cashier of one of the banks in this city, when a stalwart, begrimed colored mine worker entered the door, while the official made immediate provisions to do business. "How's work?" "Fair," responded the colored man, as he produced his envelope and bank book to make a deposit. "But you know that times are never really bad here. A man who wants to work can always find enough to do and save a little." That's the Earlington Idea: Work, Live and Save. Of course, that is not invariably the case with all of the thousands of employees, but all rules depend upon exceptions. Nevertheless, it is the prevailing idea. Every workman is a part of this great industrial community. He is proud of the company and the company is proud of him. When he speaks of the St. Bernard, it is always with an air of pride and possession, and when the St. Bernard deals with him it doesn't mind going out of its way to give him a shade the better of it. Its industrial shades are always a little biased toward him. It is a rare comraderie to exist between employee and employer. The depositor's name was James Dunlap, a worthy second edition of a worthy sire, Simon Dunlap, an intelligent and thrifty miner, who, for more than a quarter of a century, has been employed by the St. Bernard Company. Mr. Dunlap, the second, was to the manner born, and entered into the utter simplicity of the Earlington Idea as a matter of course. He owns the handsome residence in which he lives and has still another to rent, and under the benign influence of excellent schools and social conditions is raising an interesting family to furnish material for a third edition of Dunlaps. He is a good example of the sort of man who may be found working in the non-union mines of Hopkins and Webster Counties. Yet, there are those who do not understand, or, understanding, seek to cavil and falsify the true condi- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1909. BY PHIL H. BROWN The first question propounded upon initiation to the Earlington Idea is not "To what do you belong?" but "What can you do?" The next is not "Is your skin white or black?" but "Is your character white or black?" The third is not "How long do you work?" but "How well can you work?" Every man carries a card in Earlington, but it is countersigned by Merit and Thrift, two hard but generous organizers, and this card shows up in good spendable money when pay-day rolls round. The United Mine Workers have employed every means common to their class to displace the contented colored labor in this district. They sought to foment discord, strikes and lawlessness; but they have only had their trouble for their pains, running each time up against an obstruction of adamant, and that was the Earlington Idea. All of the discord has been among themselves in grabbing after the unearned usufruct that they squeezed out of their less fortunate working brothers; the strikes were myths, and all of the murder, arson and other lawless deeds were of their THE COLORED SCHOOL Modern in every convenience, built by colored of teachers.

THE SCHOOL in the unfaltering confidence between employer and employee, wherein each gets his dues, each sacrifices to the common interest in building an industrial structure, which will endure, and from which mutual profits accrue. own doing. For years and years the union has striven to dethrone the Earlington Idea, and seize the jobs of the prosperous Negro miners as the spoils of conquest, but without avail. It has applied the balm of fawning and cajolery; it has flourished fire and the sword, but still the status of free labor and contentment reigns supreme and undisturbed. each having three establishments owned and conducted by colored men chants. Since each of these store is doing a good business, it makes this hair-brained assertion false upon its very face, because if it were otherwise, how could these numerous business establishments survive an thrive? So much for this infamy, sufficet that if the condition of the union miners ever gets on a level with "th balm of fav flourished h still the sta tentment re turbed. And now, activities h grapes zone ored miners struction, th off its ma And now, alas, the union's pristine activities have drifted into the sour-grapes zone. Falling to lure the colored miners to their industrial destruction, the organization has thrown off its mask, unveiled its troubled feelings and defames the entire race at every point of the zodiac. Witness this miserable canard issued in the City of Henderson against the respectable colored labor of the Earlington belt. Last week a circular was issued in Henderson, presumably by a coal company, that seems to have nothing to offer to the people for their money but unionism. Evidently being unable to get into the market with a decent product, and unable to sell or give away what they have, they have changed their line and are now offering miserable race prejudice and unionism. Herewith is the argument that they set forth why the public should buy their coal: "Then why do you continue to buy the non-union coal of Hopkins and Webster counties, when 95 per cent of those miners are Negroes of the very lowest type? About 60 per cent. of the 95 per cent. are ex-convicts. They are forced to work for long hours at low wages and trade in the com- 2014-04-01 tions here in petty larceny attempts to discredit the healthy status of progress that prevails among the free colored miners of this section. Earlington, Madisonville, Providence, Morton's Gap and Crabtree are singularly situated in the industrial topography of the mining district of Western Kentucky. There is the union to the right of them, union to the left and now yawns in front, at Henderson, one small mine, which is unfortunately capitalized with nothing more serious than the exploitation of union labor. Help and Self-Help. But the Earlington Idea of a fair deal to white and black, with its door of hope ajar to Negro labor, with its augmented school facilities and bank accounts grows apace and in favor. The union is "an episode and the Earlington Idea is an institution"—an institution founded upon a solid rock of principle and justice, around which the waters of contention jealousy, anarchy and race prejudice may wash and drift, but never undermine. Verily the Earlington Idea of industrial relations has the strength of Gibraltar, and its tenure is beyond the ken of human prophecy. Its strength is in the unfaltering confidence between employer and employee, wherein each gets his dues, each sacrifices to the common interest in building an industrial structure, which will endure, and from which mutual profits accrue. The Union Envious Resorts to Lies. pany store, and live on company property. This is not the case with the miners in the People's mines. The men get the union scale of wages. Do you want to pull the union miners of Henderson down to the humble condition of the Hopkins County miners?" It is needless to say that all of this is absolutely false, generally and in detail. The colored miners in the Earlington belt belong to the most intelligent, most aspiring, better paid, better living element of laborers in the United States, and they will not suffer by comparison with those of anywhere. They are law-abiding and do not organize to loot, murder and destroy as the union does, and seems to consider that it has a right to do. The miner in the Earlington belt buys wheresoever he desires, and, fortunately for him, he has the money to buy with. In Earlington, where the only industry, aside from railroading, is coal mining, there are no less than twenty stores, meeting with fine success, and are carrying the same goods as the company store. This is true in different numbers in every town in the belt, Madisonville and Providence. N. the direction of a qualified corps each having three establishments owned and conducted by colored merchants. Since each of these stores is doing a good business, it makes this hair-brained assertion false upon its very face, because if it were otherwise, how could these numerous business establishments survive and thrive? So much for this infamy, suffice that if the condition of the union miners ever gets on a level with "the humble condition of the Hopkins county miners," they must be elevated. Any amount of pulling down will encounter chaos. But I set out to tell the readers of the Globe about this 95 per cent. of the miners in Hopkins and Webster counties who "are Negroes of the lowest type." Not a New Idea. Thirty-seven years ago Mr. John Bond Atkinson came into the presidency and personal management of the St. Bernard Coal Co. (Incorporated), and from that moment the Negro in Hopkins County and Hopkins County itself have advanced upon the scale of progress by leaps and bounds and from that time the Negro in this section has had a staunch, capable and self-sacrificing friend, whose loyalty never wavered, and whose powerful arm has supported every deserving black man who said, "I will." Dating here, structural highways supplanted sheep paths and cities sprang up where sassafras bushes and thistles prevailed. The great mineral wealth, hitherto undeveloped, found its way to waiting markets, and a fine prosperity obtained that has never since deserted this section. Mr. Atkinson himself sprang from ```markdown ``` MISS RUBY J. THOMPSON, Trained Nurse at St. Bernard Hospital, Earlington. sturdy. Quaker Abolitionist stock, and came forth from a cradle of liberty. By rearing his friendship for the Negro was inherent, and was fostered by association with Whittier and Walt Whitman. In his young manhood he worked upon the defenses of Philadelphia, and it was during this time that he met Frederick Douglass in his father's house, and began a friendship that lasted until the famous publicist's death. Almost his first act upon coming into the management of the St. Bernard was to install Negro labor in the mines. He was the first to do it, and this feat was accomplished with exceeding difficulty, because the sentiment of the white people was greatly opposed to the innovation. Undeterred by powerful influences, he persevered in his purpose until now more than three thousand colored men find employment in the St. Bernard mines, and kindred establishments in Western Kentucky. Model Mining City. Earlington is the model coal mining town in the entire South, insofar as the colored people are concerned. There is nothing that the white element of this community has that is denied the Negro. There is a magnificent school building, erected at a cost of $12,000, and erected by colored bricklayers, capacious and stately churches of brick, lodge buildings, library and amusement hall and these adorn the city and belong to the colored people. The school advantages are particularly alluring because of their excellent facilities and the erudite competence of the teachers. The St. Bernard Company, acting in an advisory capacity to the regular school authorities, secured the services as principal of Prof. J. W. Bell, a product of Roger Williams University, a gentleman of highest culture and attainments. Under the State law provision is made for only a six months' school, but the St. Bernard supplements the regular allotment with sufficient funds to extend the term to 9 months. Aside from this a high school is in vogue which is of such commendable character that it attracts students from LUTE DAVIS. Who Built a Mining Town in Western Kentucky. SUBSCRIBE NOW!

In order to increase the efficiency of this institution extra teachers (not "nominated in the bond") are supplied, leaving the school unexcelled in the Stae of Kentucky, outside of Louisville.

In order that the colored people might have full scope for their abilities, colored bricklayers erected the new school building and the Baptist church and be it said to their credit that the work was skillfully and satisfactorily done. Modern Hospital. There is maintained a first-class hospital, equipped with every modern contrivance known to the medical profession, to which these falsely-designated "lowest type of Negroes" are taken when beset with illness or injuries, and there officiates in this hospital alongside a white nurse, a duly-graduated colored trained nurse, who waits upon white and black alike. As an illustration of the quality of good feeling that exists in Earlington, there are never any suits for damages when an employee is enjured. Why is this? It is simple enough. The company settles and does the right thing every time. No ambulance chasers can live and have their being around Earlington. This is positively no field for shysters, who are wont to fatten upon the company and the men, or their families. The injured man or his family goes straight to the loss himself. There is no stone wall around him. His is the genuine open-door policy, and he is always willing to be seen by his men, and insists that every man be his own grievance committee. The men know the way to his private office and they know how to get in. He is the magnet that attracts everybody's troubles, and he stands between his men and everybody, even himself, and offener THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL FOR WOMEN than not he gives himself the worst of it. The employees know that he has never varied the slightest particle from the absolute just thing. In their work affairs he is their court of appeal, and in case of accident or injury, they know no lawyer but the president, and he invariably adjudicates the case fairly. They know that they will fare better with him than in a civil court, and he never falls them. This is where confidence, mutual confidence rides triumphant in the saddle. And it not only prevails with the president, but you can observe it all along the line of officials of the company. Every man seems to be inculcated with the Earlington spirit of a fair deal to every man. Mr. Atkinson has given generously to the educational and religious institutions, notably a constant support to Atkinson College at Madisonville, where Prof. Martin is busily engaged, as is Prof. Bell, in fitting young men and young women for the battle of life. It is not to be supposed that the union wiseacres at Henderson would pass these by as " the lowest type of Negroes." Built a Town. When the Rosecreek Coal Company began its operations near Nebo in Hopkins County, the man who had charge of all of the construction, sinking of shafts, erection of buildings was a capable colored man by the name of Lute Davis. Mr. Davis was also bank boss in the mines after they got into action and everything that he has done in this district he THE CHURCH A. M. E: ZION CHURCH AT EARLINGTON.

After some time spent out in Illinois, he has returned to Hop where he will be include "lowest type of Negroes One could go on ad diving proofs of the 19 has returned to Hopkins County, where he will be included among the "lowest type of Negroes." One could go on ad infinitum producing proofs of the falsity of this base union statement. I might tell you of W. R. Teague, who began working with the St. Bernard in 1876, is still on the job and is one of the wealthiest colored men in this part of the State; of Thomas Spencer, Andrew Jackson, Champ Ashby and hundreds of others who are doing things for themselves and for their race that they are not permitted to do in union mines, where brotherly love is not colorly love. I could tell you of the employment of a colored electrician at lucrative pay as an existent proof of the vast benefits of the Earlington Idea. There is a perfect myriad of facts, but to anyone whose viewpoint is not discolored by a jaundiced eye these will suffice. Upon a basis of mutual cooperation the St. Bernard stands forth as a friend to the Negro. The company does not deny that the uplifting and development of the Negro miner is part of its mission. The company spends thousands upon thousands of dollars annually in working toward this end. It is foremost in everything that is designed to help the Negro, not only in its immediate district, but all over the country. The Earlington Idea has for its motto "All men up." It means to accomplish something for the Negro and make the Negro-accomplish something for himself. It means to stand between him and his worst enemy, the union; it proposes to keep on employing the Negro upon a merit basis and encourage him to build more schools and libraries; it proposes to have Earlington set forth as an example to other towns in the encouragement of interracial feeling and understanding, "and if this be treason," let the union on whatnot "make the most of it."

Passing grade of all the medical classes has been raised from 75 to 80 per cent by the action of the Board of Trustees of the University. This has been found necessary on account of advanced requirements of the State Medical Examining Boards. While some may find it necessary to spend an additional year in pursuing their medical course, those who receive diplomas will be better prepared, not only for State Board Examinations, but for their actual work in the practice of medicine.

The music is from the selections of J. H. Carter and the late Wm. Rosborough. The Illinois Chronicle, a weekly secular publication, is an addition to Chicago's newspaper world. It appears to be brimful of interesting happenings in and about that great city. It gives full accounts of the church news and religious happenings, and is edited by A. N. Fields. 1590-4963 --- REVIEWS The December or Christmas number of Hope appears this week in a bright green cover. Hope is edited by Miss Joanna P. Moore, at 513 Mulberry street, Nashville. This issue is No. 4 of the twenty-fifth volume of this publication. Few periodicals devoted entirely to the religious side of life are as well known to the reading public as Hope and its editor, an attractive feature of which is its Bible Band Lessons. Thousands of Christian people find their daily home readings and prayer topics in this periodical. It also contains a Sunshine Corner, conducted by Miss Florence Purnett, for fathers and mothers to read with their children, and no doubt, for the month of December quite a number of children will be entertained from this corner. --- The twenty-sixth volume, Number 2. of the A. M. E. Church Review is out. The Review has been issued, with such constancy and precision that it appears now as one of the oldest and best known periodicals of this country. It is edited by Rev. H. T. Kealing, A. M., being a quarterly publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Review always abounds in well-written, important contributed articles. One of the important contributions to the October number was an article on "Race Segregation" by Bishop Holsey. Senior Bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, written at the request of the Review, and giving the Bishop's views with strength and clearness. Another important article appears under the caption of "Self-Help in the Public Schools." This is the second paper on this subject that has appeared and takes up to a large extent, the financial management and running of many schools in the various states. Christmas Greetings prepared by Mrs. Lula Boyd-Landers for the National Baptist Publishing Board is out in a new dress, being printed in three colors. The frontispiece, which is very striking, shows the bright star THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1909. THE BALLET ```markdown ``` The American Baptist, one of the oldest religious publications among the Negro Baptists, edited by Prof. Wm. Steward, Louisville, Ky., continues to come out as it has been doing for the past quarter of a century. At one time the American Baptist was regarded as the official organ of the National Baptist Convention, but of recent years it has been confined almost strictly to the state of Kentuchy, but is read nearly all over the United States, especially by the Kentuckians, who are scattered in different sections of the United States. Among the many publications of a religious nature that are appearing weekly, there seems to be none more worthy than the Southwestern Christian Recorder published by the A M. E. Church, with headquarters at Columbus, Ga.; edited by Rev. George W. Allen, D. D. This publication covers a large portion of the Southern States and is said to be more generally sought after than the mother paper, the Christian Recorder which is published from Philadelphia. These two publications in their combined circulation make up what their church holds to be an enviable recorder and a splendid array of journalistic force. The magazines of which the race can boast as appearing regularly are about three, viz.: McGirt's Magazine, of Philadelphia; Alexander's Magazine, of Boston, and the Colored American. These three publications can be relied upon to furnish interesting reading matter to thousands of eager readers. They have been able to continue their publications in spits of apparent apathy on the part of some of the people toward them. The December edition of the Teacher, one of the periodicals published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, is out in three bright colors. The magazine is used exclusively for Sunday-school folks and those interested in Sunday-school work. This month it contains sixty-four pages and has the usual amount of important information upon Sunday-school work. The Truths Gleaned from the Lesson, With the Primary Teacher, and the Oriental Lights, and Editorial Reflections, harmonize beautifully with all the December lessons. This publication has an enormous circulation. The contributors for the Teacher are made up of notable writers, authors and library men from the various parts of the United States. Noticeable among them are Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D., President of Eckstein-Norton University, Cane Springs, Ky.; Rev. J. T. Brown, A. M., S. T. B., Texas; Rev. H. C. Bailey, D. D.; Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., of Richmond, Va.; and Rev. J. B. Beekham, of Denver, Colo Other writers are contributing monthly to this periodical. The Louisiana Baptist, published at Alexander, La., and long ago regarded as the official organ of the Negro Baptists of the state of Louisiana, is in its twelfth volume. This paper keeps up with and chronicles the doings of the denomination in that great state. It has as one of its mottos, "Ye are one in Christ" from Gal 8:38. It is strong in its advocacy of the work of the National Baptist Convention. Publications and Book Notes. The National Baptist Sunday-school Commentary on the international lessons for 1910 will be ready for mailing about December 15. Each edition of this book has shown improvement over the others, so 1910 comes in with its share of improvements in contents as well as being the largest edition on the first run of this book ever published, 8,000 copies. It is pleasing for us to note how fast it is finding its way into the Baptist Sunday-schools. No up-to-date pastor, Sunday-school superintendent, or teacher can well afford to be without it. The price of single copies is 75 cents. When sold in lots of five or more to any one address sent by express not paid, 55 cents per copy. Half morocco edition $1.00 per single copy; in lots of five or more to any address by express, not paid, 75 cents per copy. *** Christmas holidays are fast approaching.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 19, 1909.—Richard Hill, Jr., a second year law student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is making quite a record at that institution. In a debate recently held there his team won first honors. In voting for the best debater for the evening the judges unanimously voted for Mr. Hill in both logic and delivery, and Prof. Hollister one of the instructors declared that it was due to Mr. Hill's efforts that the negative team won. Mr. Hill is a Nashville boy and is the son of Mr. Richard Hill, who is one of the leading business men of that city. Richard Hill, Jr.'s success is the more significant when it is taken in account that the University of Michigan has a law department that ranks with any in this country. --- THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS OR OUR DUTY TO GOD. By Ben P. Fowlkes. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. If you like it write and tell me 90; (It matters not just who) You can help me to accomplish Other works I aim to do. You can never help a struggle, If the tokens you all save And try to demonstrate it. By the flowers on his grave. We are glad to meet our friends again On this Thanksgiving Day, To pay our Father tribute. In a many a different way, We owe Him for the sunshine And we owe Him for the rain, We owe him for our losses And we owe Him for our gain. We owe Him for each passing breeze, Whether fierce or calm Because He hides us 'neath His wing, Securely from all harm. We owe Him for the blessed spring And for the golden fall; We owe him for atoning blood "Indeed we owe Him all!"" We owe Him for that precious blood, Which flowed on calvary That from the cruel jaws of death. We rebels might be free. We owe Him for the plans of grace, And all so freely given That when we end our mission here We enter home (in heaven). Therefore we meet this afternoon. On this Thanksgiving Day; To lay our trophies at His feet, And bow our heads and pray. He's kept us safe another year. Securely from all harm Though great has been the conflict, And severe has been the storm. Tho great have been the sorrows And the burdens we have borne, Yet not one single moment, Has He ever left us 'lone. In the deepest hour of midnight, When we're lost in dark dispair, When foes oppress us all around, We've always found Him there. So let us, men and brethren Give Him thanks just as we should; Let us praise him and adore Him, All because the Lord is good. 136 Psalms. Let us praise Him for His goodness That with every moment rolls; And because He is our captain. And the guardian of our souls. Don't you hear Him pleading From His blessed home above, "I have paid the debt. Oh don't forget, My all-atoning love." Oh, do not be forgetful How He guides you with His care But bow and give Him rey'rence In the deepest sense of prayer. Then thank Him for His justice. For his wond'rous love and truth; Thank him for your sil'ry locks, And thank him for your youth; Thank him 'cause he's with you Both in sorrow and distress And lulls your troubled spirit To him home forever blest. O give thanks unto the Lord, And sing his praises ever Because his mercy doth endure Forever and forever. Let every tribe and nations all, His blessedness proclaim With all their mind and soul and might. Praise his name, in sorrow And in sickness, and distress, And praise him in adversities If you would enter into rest. If you would meet your friends gone forth To sin and sigh no more. You'll surely have to tune your harp In this dark vale below. ATTENTION, MAMA! Do Christmus times are coming Er time fer wondrous toys. An' yer buy fer all yer chilluns Er lot ob worthless toys.

Price: $1 25. 6 JACK JOHNSON'S EARLY CAREER By the end of March, 1905, John Arthur Johnson had skimmed all the cream off his pugilistic milk, and it wasn't such rich milk to begin with. Coming down to cases, Jack Johnson was never a big money getter. The men who might have drawn bis money men who might ave drawn big money with him would not fight the Negro, and the men who were willing to battle with hams like Sandy Ferguson, who would fight a grizzly bear for $10, split 50 and 50. With the fight clubs of the Pacific Coast scaled up against him, poor old Johnson saw that he had to fight for a living. He went back to fighting for a meal ticket, and Philadelphia, the meal-ticket town, was the point of his attack. "Awful rotten fight town," said John Arthur meditatively. "First night I was there I went to a fight. Stood near the box office. Along came a hot sport. Laid down 25 cents in pennies. Sald to the man, 'Give me a good seat.' An' I be doggoned if he don't give it to him! That was certainly awfully funny to me, comin' from a place where a man couldn't git his nose in the door for less'n a silvah dollar!" But this was the sort of a game that Jack Johnson was up against and he played it off the boards. Instead of getting $1,000 for his end he got a small wad of Kansas City currency when the show was over. It was cents, where it used to be dollars. Very well, thought Mr. Johnson, there's one way to beat this game and that is to fight often enough. So he got very busy. On April 25 Johnson fought a large lump of Rocquefort, who called himself Jim Jeffords, and probably got a little cheap notoriety in the bush circuit because his name sounded like "Jim Jeffries." The resemblance ended with the name, however. Johnson followed his usual custom; he fought a good fight first, for he was anxious to make himself a drawing card in Philadelphia. He rocked Mr. Jeffords to sleep in four rounds, and should have done the trick in one. *** Eight days afterward, when the money had given out, Johnson had another battle, this time with Black Bill, who was all that and then some. Black Bill did not last the limit, and again Johnson's stock went kiting. He was beginning to be known in Philadelphia. Because he had whipped two men inside the Philadelphia limit he was regarded as a bear and had to meet two men the next time out, and this time he split the performance. He knocked out the first man in three rounds, but the second one happened to be a large coon named Joe Jeanette, whom Johnson was fated to know better later on, and Joe stayed. Joe was due to become John Arthur's meal (ticket and John Arthur was destined to become Joe's meal ticket. Whenever Johnson could not find a man who was willing to fight him he picked up Joe Jeanette and fought Joe a limited round contest. Johnson was very economical. He didn't waste Joe. A thoughtless walloper would have torn Joe's head off some night in a fit of temporary forgetfulness, but Johnson kept his wits about him. Jeanette was just like so many pork chops to Johnson. Once Johnson fouled Joe and thus lost a decision, but in the main he handled the big mulatto with much consideration. If you punch a meal ticket full of holes the time comes when it will buy you nothing. This double bill came off six days after the Black Bill massacre. Then Johnson rested and ate pork chops and asked managers how about it? In July he had another clance at a double bill, and this time he drew in against as smoky a brace of blackbirds as might well be imagined. One of them was Morris Harris, who is still pesticating around the East, and the other was his old pal, Black Bill, back for some more of the medicine. Pursuing the usual system, Johnson "tore off" Morris Harris, who was first up, laying him down to sleep in three rounds. Then he saved Black Bill, thinking he might be able to use him again. He was able. Along came Jack Monroe, fresh from the great distinction of having made the rottenest fight against Jeffries ever seen in any part of the country. Now, Johnson should have been able to tear off Mr. Monroe with about two healthy wallops, but he tooyed with him instead and men were on their feet at the end of six rounds. Johnson then did a little of quick travelling, going over to Chelsea, where he hooked up with another gentleman who he had laid away for future reference, no other than that grand old warrior, Sam Ferguson. This time Jack, in a new town and anxious to THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1909 make a showing, larruped Mr. Sandy unmercifully, and Sandy, not relishing the lacing, prodded Johnson outside the limit and was disqualified. Thus ended the fifth lesson. Have patience, for Johnson comes into Tommy Burn's own in the sixth. ☆ ☆ ☆ Young Pierce, the Philadelphia colored batam weight, is very likely to meet Digger Stanley—Jimmy Walsh's arch enemy—in a twenty-round bout for a $1,000 side bet and a purse offered by the National Sporting Club. Pierce arrived here only recently in company with Alfred Dunn, his manager, and at once showed that he was here for business by posting a fifty-pound forfeit for a match with Stanley. Pierce, by the way, was in England two years ago, and at that time had a bout with Owen Moran in Liverpool, but it was not until the seventeenth round that Moran was able to end the contest. Both men feel that such a match would put them in line for higher honors and, in agreeing to terms, will doubtless have as much thought of the future as to the outcome of the bout itself. Pierce's manager claims that a win over Stanley would put his percentage in line to demand a fight with Jimmy Walsh and some of the other bantam-weight claimants upon his return to America. He asserts that he has had a deposit up with a Philadelphia paper for several months to bind a match with Jimmy Walsh or any of the others in young Pierce's class, but that all have drawn the color line. Stanley, on the other hand, feels that to defeat Pierce would give him a reasonable excuse for traveling to the States and possibly meeting Jimmy Walsh in Boston. Piedce claims to have twice won over Jimmy Walsh and once from Al Delmont, both of whom have been seen in action upon this side. It is really surprising that Digger Stanley has not joined the number of English fighters to emigrate to the States. Stanley, a capital fellow personally, underestimates his own drawing power in the United States. That he could get a match with Jimmy Walsh immediately he landed on American soil is certain, and the Armory Athletic Club, of Boston, would surely be a bidder for that mill, Walsh himself hailing from Boston. The fact that Stanley and Walsh have thrice fought before the National Sporting Club—the last time being on the night of the Langford-Hague bout last spring—and that they are about as evenly matched as it is possible for two boxers to be, would insure the best sort of a contest from the very upset. CRISPUS ATTUCKS. By John Boyle O'Reilly. Not so! not so! Till the world is done, the shadow of wrong is dread; The crowd that bends to a lord to-day, to-morrow shall strike him dead. There is only one thing changeless: the earth steals from under our feet, The times and manners are passing moods, and the laws are incomplete; There is only one thing changes not, one word that still survives— The slave is the wretch who wields the lash, and not the man in gyves! There is only test of contract: is it willing, is it good? There is never a mind unchained and true that class or race allows; There is never a law to be obeyed that reason disavows, There is never a legal sin but grows to the law's disaster, The master shall drop the whip, and the slave shall enslave the master! O, Plant of seed and thought and deed has the year of right revolved. And brought the Negro patriot's cause with its problem to be solved? His blood streamed first for the building, and through all the century's years. Our growth of story and fame of glory are mixed with his blood and tears. He lived with men like a soul condemned—derided, defamed, and mute; Debased to the brutal level, and instructed to be a brute. His virtue was shorn of benefit, his industry of reward; His love!—O men, it were mercy to have cut affection's cord; Through the night of his woe, no pity save that of his fellow-slave; For the wage of his priceless labor, the scourging block and the grave! And now, is the tree to blosom? Is the bowl of agony filled? Shall the price be paid, and the honor said, and the word of outrage stilled? And we who have toiled for freedom's law, have we sought for freedom's soul? That the health of the nation is peri- lled if one man be oppressed? Has he learned—the slave from the rice-swamps, whose children were sold—has he, With broken chains on his limbs, and the cry in his blood, "I am free!" Has he learned through affliction's teaching what our Crispus Attucks knew— When Right is stricken, the white and black are counted as one, not two? Has he learned that his century of grief was worth a thousand years In blending his life and blood with ours and that all his toils and tears Were heaped and poured on him, sud- denly, to give him a right to stand From the gloom of African forests, in the blaze of the freest land? That his hundred years have earned for him a place in the human van. Which others have fought for and thought for since the world of wrong began? For this, shall he set his woeful past afloat, on the stream of night; For this, he forgets as we all forget when darkness turns to light; For this, he forgives as we all forgive when wrong has changed to right. God made mankind to be one in blood, as one in spirit and thought; And so great a boon, by a brave man's death, is never dearly bought! PHYLLIIS WHEATLEY PREPAR ING BASKETS FOR THE POOR. The Phyllis Wheatley Club is busy getting ready to send out baskets of food and clothes to the poor, sick and aged. We hope to be able to carry sunshine, help and Christmas cheer into a number of homes. On account of the great rush and bustle the first of the Christmas the club will do its work at the regular meeting, Thursday, December 30th. All members of the club will meet at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Thursday, December 30th, at 3 o'clock. All the baskets will be filled and sent out from there to the different homes in the different parts of the city bearing Christmas greeting from Phyllis Wheatley Club. All friends from all the churches and clubs are asked to help in this work. Anything that is donated will be judiciously and properly distributed. The Phyllis Wheatley Club stands a friend to the poor, sick and aged. The club is undenominational, being composed of some of the very best women of the different churches and distributes its charity wherever it is needed most. MRS. G. L. JACKSON, President. MRS. L. H.

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth multiplying and replenishing it with every creeping thing, fowls of the air, trees and everything green and rested on the seventh day, he saw that there was not a man to till the earth, so he created Adam and placed him in the garden of Eden, where there was everything necessary for his existence. When this was completed the Lord looked at Adam in pity and said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him." In his infinite wisdom he caused a deep sleep to come upon Adam, while asleep he took one of his ribs out of which he made his masterpiece—woman—a help meet for Adam, a companion. Since that time men and women have constituted the characters in the drama of life. The realm of man is that of power, while that of woman is love, that is, man has strength, while woman is love; he is power and thought, she is love and thought. In strength of intellectual efforts they are equals for each other. In thought, correct observation and close analysis they compare as peerless, kings and queens of earth. Though equal in some respects, yet they are different. Woman is quicker, more sagacious and intuitive, and this difference adapts them to each other; when united they make each other stronger and more useful. Men are as mere clay in the potter's hand and women may well be called the potters. A woman is full of brightness and her life is radiant with smiles. A woman's smiles are always inspiration to men. They are to him a mountain rill that has just left its bubbling source, laughing and dancing amid the beauty and freshness of the scenery, kissing the flowers that dip their fragrant lips in its lucid waters and smiling in glad sunshine, before it reaches the great ocean of life. This freshness and gladness so inherent in woman are imparted to the man and charm and add to his life. The outgoing gladsomeness, subdued by experience into a refined and happy tenderness, is like flowers and fruit dallying amid the foliage of the same bough. Like the single star which appears at early twilight in the clear blue sky the women are pursuing their silent but unvarying course. unknown and unnoticed by the world. Inspiration, one of the greatest powers in the world, is the highest and most excellent lever on earth and as the mere presense of women lends inspiration to any cause then let them continue to inspire. This, though little, may seem insignificant; some thoughtful bard has expressed the value of little service in the following: "I heard it on the meadow path! I heard it on the mountain stain The best things any mortal hath Are those which every man may share." A MOST CONVENIENT GARMENT. Few ministers are fully prepared on baptizing days to go into the water, unless they have one of our baptismal garments. These garments are waterproof, being made of the best grade of rubber and black cashmere. The rubber is overlaid with this grade of goods, and the trousers, with the boots, make up the article, thus proving very satisfactory to ministers who have a large number of candidates to be baptized. There is this advantage if nothing more, you can go direct from the pulpit into the baptismal pool, or the river, by simply removing your top coat and putting on this baptismal garment. The price of the garment, not including the robe, is $13.50. When placing an order, send the size of the shoes you wear, measurement around the waist and the distance from the crotch to the floor. We can also supply you with baptismal robes ranging in prices from $10.00 up to $25.00. If you order a robe, give the length of sleeve you wear, your height, and the measurement of your chest. Do not delay, but place your order at once. The goods will be shipped C. O. D., unless $3.00 is placed on deposit as a guarantee that they will be taken from the express office. Address all orders to National Baptist Publishing Board, R. H. Boyd, 523 Second Avenue, Nouth, Nashville, Tenn.* Howard University Law School. Howard University Law School. It is an open secret that the Law School of Howard University is a part of the University in name only. The President does not think much of the Negro lawyer. There is an element of independence in the lawyer that seemeth very ungodly to the Rev. Dr. Thirkield, hence he has but little if any sympathy with Howard Law School and the faculty thereof. Recently it has been insistently circulated that there would be one or two vacancies in the law faculty and the President has his candidates already selected to fill the vacancy or vacancies. Of course this is the President's high prerogative, and doubtless he will use it should the occasion arise; but in the name of fairness and justice, if President Thirkield names men who are already employed by the Government and throttles the voice of the law alumni, he will raise a storm of protest around his devoted head that will make a Washington storm seem something like the mild zephers from an electric fan. With an alumni covering the country; with men of ability and fame; with men who have given their lives to the actual practice of the law; with men who have clients who have and are trying and winning cases; with men of brains, activity and thought here in Washington and elsewhere, there is no need for Dr. Thirkield selecting as teachers of law men who are already in office, and men who have shown an ability in the field of law. It will pay the President of Howard University to make haste slowly, very slowly, in this matter—Washington Bee. MYRTLE LEAF CLUB. The Myrtle Leaf Art Club met at the home of Mrs. H. T. Carter 1406 1-2 Jackson street. The Club is progressing nicely. The Instructor, Mrs. J. C. Brow, was absent, but each and every member did all that was in her power to help the other.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Watkins, at 1810 Jefferson street, was opened to the younger set Friday night, December 3. The house was beautifully decorated with red and white, while in the dining-room were cut flowers and ferns. The table decorations were a beautiful lunch cover of French battenburg and two cut glass flower vases filled with red and white carnations set in brass jardinieres. The menu set in was a tempting one was enjoyed by all. Salmon salad, ham sandwiches, pickles, orange, cherry frappe and cream. Dancing and card playing were the leading features of the evening. Those to enjoy the occasion were Messrs. William Woodfolk, Joe Johnson, Charles Lowe, John Anderson, Leroy Barnes, Howard Watkins, Fred Lipscomb, Andrew Johnson, John B.

SUBSCRIBERS AND CORRESPONDENTS TAKE NOTICE. There are several communities in the State in which there is some one who is kind enough to send us the news each week. We thank them for this kindness. But has it ever occurred to you that it is just as easy to get subscriptions as it is to get news? Well, if you have not thought along that line we beg your attention for a minute. We want the news from every community each week, but we will not need it unless there are people in that community who are de irous of reading the news that tells what they are doing. We know that when people have news put in the paper about themselves they want to read it after it is put in the paper, and they would rather pay their money to the reporter than any one else, because they know he is the one who will look after the news about them. We must have an agent in every city, town and community in this State. To accomplish this we have decided that every correspondent must be an agent. So hereafter each one sending news must also send subscribers for the Globe. We have the names of a number of persons whose subscriptions will soon expire. Any one desiring to become an agent and correspondent, write us at once and we will send you a list to work by. All delinquent subscribers are being dropped from our list, which makes it a very opportune time to begin. : es. — ime a SC ei, ill a _— ee = sa - : E om Late ee re .

Read and Consider. 88 "KNOCKDOWN" Not of Prize Ring, Was Engineered at Race by Fighter Johnson, and Made Chalmers and Lipton Good Friends. New York, November 26.—Hugh Chalmers, who until not so long ago was one of the highest salaried officers of the Dayton Cash Register Company, drawing from its treasury in salary and commissions more than $70,000 annually, which he gave up and left the Gem City to become a resident of Detroit, was at the Waldorf-Astoria a few days ago. Mr. Chalmers is now one of the great automobile manufacturers of the country. The making of automobiles, enormous though it is, he thinks is but in its infancy. A year from now he looks to see the best car cost not more than $3,000. His company will clean up more than $1,000-000 in profits, and could have made more had they the working room. The company could not take any more orders. What is true of this Detroit company, Mr. Chalmers says, is equally true of most all other manfacturers of automobiles. Mr. Chalmers was in New York at the recent Vanderbilt cup race. On the great Vanderbilt course on Long Island he was introduced to Sir Thomas Lipton under peculiar circumstances and with rather a laughable experience. A car carrying Mr. Chalmers and his party occupied a vantage point at the side of the course. Mr. Chalmers was out of the car stretching his limbs when up stepped Jack Johnson, the Negro prize fighter. Johnson had driven out to the races in his touring car. He had met Mr. Chalmers in Detroit, when seeking to buy a car. Their meeting on that occasion was of short duration. Brief though it was, Johnson remembered Mr. Chalmers well and came forward to greet him. Mr. Chalmers, of course, knew who Johnson was and shook the hand of the burly prize fighter when it was extended. They had chatted but a moment or so when along came Sir Thomas Lipton and his party. Johnson had met Sir Thomas, who is a genuine sport, at the time that Sam Fitzpatrick, then manager of the Negro prize fighter, took him to England to polish off the fighter Tommy Burns in the "squared circle." Manager Fitzpatrick and Sir Thomas had long known each other, and Sam saw to it that a meeting between the yatch builder and chaser after the America's Cup and his black ring protege was brought about. Sir Thomas knew the prize fighter as soon as he set eyes upon him at the Vanderbilt course. Johnson also readily recognized the nobleman. They advanced and shook hands. The warmth of Sir Thomas's greeting surprised some of those about this group. Then the black prize fighter turned about to Mr. Chalmers. my friend, Mr. Chalmers, or Decele- The introduction was acknowl- edged, as becomes gentlemen, and all went on their way. The following night, while dining with an English friend at Delmonico's, Sir Thomas came along as one of a party from the New York Yatch Club. He paused to shake hands with the Englishman at Mr. Chalmer's side. Mr. Chalmers was introduced. Sir Thomas looked at him closely and then said: "Mr. Chalmers, I believe you and I have met before." "Yes, Sir Thomas," said Mr. Chalmers, with a broad smile, "at the auto race yesterday." The introduction at the Vanderbilt course was explained to the others in the party. It was noticed that Sir Thomas had no explanation to make. "Well, Mr. Chalmers," said Sir Thomas, finally, "I am certainly willing to stand for that introduction if you are. I am always glad to acknowledge the acquaintanceship of any man who gets ahead in this world. And I don't care much what business or line ambition to achieve success has led him to battle in. It takes the same thing (grey matter) to get to the top, accompanied by close application and some luck, I will admit. That is the reason I welcome the acquaintanceship of this fighting man. Johnson. He is the champion of the world in his chosen field, even thought he is a black man. It took on his part to be successful not brains alone, but also great brawn and fine muscle and superior tact. Then one must stop to think that on account of his color Johnson was handicapped at the very start. Now, Mr. Chalmers that is the way I view things in this battle of life."—Cincinnati Inquirer.

During the week of the Colored State Fair, held at Batesburg, S. C., a temporary organization of a prospective State Negro Business League was effected, by electing Hon. E. J. Sawyer, of Bennettsville, president; Mr. Joseph H. Garner, Columbia, secretary; Dr. John H. Goodwin, Weston treasurer. Mr. Sawyer is not only a successful business man, but also one of the largest land owners and most prosperous farmers in the state. --- Progress is the watchword from now on with the Local Business Development League of Montgomery, Ala. Having recently fitted up nice, comfortable quarters for the winter over Dr. Dean's drug store, the members meet monthly to discuss questions vital to the we'fare of the business community. Luncheon is occasionally served at these meetings. The officers of the Local League are Hon. N. H. Alexander, president; Mr. J. H. Fagain, vice-president; Dr. U. S. Dean, secretary; Mr. V. H. Tulane, chairman, Executive Committee. A few of the men here, who have done well in the commercial world are: Mr. H. A. Loveless, who owns the leading funeral establishment in the city for colored people, in connection with which he runs a livery business. He also owns a gravel pit outside the corporate limits, from which a half-dozen teams are kept busy hauling travel to different parts of the town. Mr. Loveless has the name of being a bustler in business and gives employment to more persons than any other colored man in the place. He is probably worth between $20,000 and $25,000. Mr. G. E. Newstell is not only a prosperous merchant, but a successful dealer in real estate. His holdings in the latter business would likely amount to $30,000. Mr. Victor H. Tulane, who owns a handsome two-story pressed brick building, corner of South and Ripley street, where he runs a model grocery, is estimated to be worth conservatively about $80,000. He does a business amounting to something over $20,000 a year. Messrs. John Brown and William Hill conduct a profitable business as truck farmers, separately. They supply not only the home market, but outside, the year round, with their garden products. They are also fortunate possessors of valuable realty. Each one of them is rated to be worth about $25,000. Mr. Elijah Cooke is a retired business man. He has the reputation of being a pioneer in the undertaking business in the state of Alabama. For nearly twenty-five years he managed his business so wisely and assiduously that when he recently retired he had accumulated a fortune that amounts to nearly $30,000. There is a score of other individuals in Montgomery whose business transactions will average anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 annually. Mr. John L. Thomas, of Union Springs, Ala., who several years ago ran a hotel through which enterprises he says he has done as high as $40,000 worth of business a year, is now making profitable investments in real estate. Within the corporate limits of his home town he owns 376 lots in one tract of 94 acres, which he sells to parties wishing to build, or he will build a house for them and give the purchaser time to pay for his home. At Midway, between Montgomery and Eufaula, he owns 72 building lots in the town; also several business lots in Dothan, and a few small farms for sale. He, together with his wife and unmarried children, lives in a handsome residence, worth not less than $5,000. Mr. Thomas is president of the Homestead Land Company and has accumulated somewhere between $20,000 and $40,000. With Booker T. Washington the greatest and foremost exponent of industrial education in the world, France organizing an army of 200,000 Negro soldiers, Matt. Henson standing on the North Pole and Jack Johnson the acknowledged champion of the world, it would appear that the "man and brother" was coming into his own. Well, it has been a long, black night, and let us hope the day may be bright.—Dallas Express. TEACHER-TRAINING HOLY BIBLE National Baptist Convention SERVICE Under the direction of REV. N. H. PUS. D.

Blank will be found in this folder; others will be sent on request. RMATION ADDRESS PUBLISHING BOARD, D, Secretary. Lily n. Nashville, Tenn. VOL. IV. NEXT GENSUS GIVING GOVERNMENT MUCH CONCERN — NEGROES NOT PLEASED WITH METHODS— FEELING OF RESENTMENT IMMINENT—OFFICE OF GENERAL PACIFIER CREATED. Since the visit of Thomas Jesse Jones to the city of Nashville there has been a great deal of discussion as to the true object of his touring the South. Mr. Jones, it will be known, is connected with the department of Commerce and Labor detailed to the Bureau of Census, possibly a special agent. He was in Nashville two weeks ago and visited such institutions as Fisk University, Walden University, the National Baptist Publishing Board, and talked with quite a number of the leaders. He also made stops in the leading cities of the state of Tennessee, thereby his visit becomes generally known. The significance of this tour, lecturing upon the necessity of giving accurate information and correct data to the census enumerators or supervisors, has been regarded with some apprehension by those who have made a close study of the conditions now existing and those of 1900, as affecting the appointing of Negroes as census enumerators and special agents, are admitting that there is a slight bit of snubbing and almost open antagonism to appoint any Negroes, and thus the repeated dispatches and correspondence purporting to be emanating from the Director General supposed to reflect the views of the administration, is thought to have caused the Negroes to act somewhat reticently about giving out any information concerning themselves, their institutions, their factories, their farms, their births, deaths, or anything else that would be helpful in swelling the general showing, even though it would be detratory to the best interest of the race. Hence, a strong argument is being made that the real mission and the true office of Mr. Jones is to bridge the chasm so vividly apparent between the administration and the entire Negro population. His function is in the nature of a pacifier. They lay claim to the fact that he was taken from Hampton Institute, where he stood high, the school itself being a powerful factor in the affairs effecting the race, together with his close connection with the educational interest of the entire country is to a certain extent substantiating these suspicions. While the Director General is said to be emphatically deny that any agreement has been reached whereby Negroes would not be appointed, the recent dispatch sent out from the Director General's office in the nature of a newspaper item directly advising supervisors to appoint certain nationalities to gather data for the department of Commerce and Labor in quarters where nationality is in large numbers, is evident that some sort of agreement, whether embryotic or otherwise, had been formed. The bulk of the Negroes, according to the Eighth United States Bulletin, is to be found south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi Rivers, hence the argument that is being made in many sections concerning the real mission of Dr. Jones is not necessarily erroneous as it is known that nine-tenths of his time is really being spent in this particular section of the United States. But of all the rumors and many assertions and counter assertions touching upon this, those who are supposed to know will not allow their names to be used. They are simply saying watch and seee. In 1900 there were scores of Negro census enumerators and dozens of special agents in every portion of the South with hundreds of clerks working directly under many supervisors. No one has ever been able to point, however, to a single instance where the Negroes have declared they would not give their data to white enumerators, still appears that the department fears something of this sort. If this fear which is now entertained becomes more apparent, it may prove a long chain of evidence against the policy of the Director General. --- Mrs. William Waller, of North Sixth street, East Nashville, is visiting her mother in Evansville, Ind.

Kelly, of Columbia, Tenn., Introducing Dr. Washington. Mr. President, I am not insensible to the fact that you are here to-night to listen to an address by Dr. Washington, and indeed any extended remarks from me would be highly improper since your patience has been taxed already to the utmost, and as it is now quite late I forebear. Let me simply say, Mr. President, that at the Battle of Salamis, fought at the last quarter of the fifth century, before the Christian era, when the Persian fleet came down upon the coast of Greece and sought to blot out the growing civilization of that famous country and thus retard civilization and Christianity, perhaps a thousand years, a leader was demanded to guide the destiny of Greece. At that supreme hour the noble Theomistocles came forth, and by strategy induced the Persian commander to enter a narrow strait just off the coast of Attica where, because of the unwieldiness of their vessels, the commanders were unable to manouver to advantage and the Greecian fleet falling upon them, completely annihilated the Persian fleet and drove back the forces of Xerxes into their own country. After the victory of the Grecian commanders held a conference to determine as to whom the credit of the victory was due. Each commander desired to award first place to himself and all were willing to award second place to the noble Theomistocles. So, too, Mr. President, I opine if the leading educators of my race were called upon to determine who was the greatest among them, each would claim pre-eminence for himself, but all would willingly accord the second place to our distinguished guest of the evening. Mr. President, if the genius of our government can take the rail-splitter from the wilds of Illinois and make him the librator of four million slaves and give him the crown of martrydom, that his name and fame may go sounding down the ages till moons shall wax and wane no more; if such be the spirit of our institutions that the boy from the tow-path driving mules upon the canal can become the pacifier of the discordant elements of his countrymen, and then, too, his memory be hallowed as a martyr of his country; if it be possible under one form of government for a common Taylor. "way down in Tennessee" to become the peer of the greatest potentate of all Europe, then these same influences have operated to make the son of a slave of less than a half a century ago the instrument in God's hands to lift ten millions of his fellow-men to a higher place of manhood, and his fame to become the theme of praise of millions of people in the Old World. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to present to you The Wizard of Education, The Sage of Tuskegee, Dr. Booker T. Washington. EAST SIDE AFFAIR. Miss Maggie E. Howard, Ph. C. of Brick Church pike, East Nashville, entertained Saturday evening recently a number of friends from 7 to 11 o'clock in honor of Miss Bruetta Metcalfe, of Clarksville, Tenn., and the Meridian Dents, Drs.

MIGO SYSTEM OF EMBALMING INTRODUCED TO NEGRO UNDERTAKERS OF NASHVILLE — DEMONSTRATIONS HELD AT A. N. JOHNSON'S — VISITING UNDERTAKERS FROM OTHER STATES. As usual, the A. N. Johnson establishment comes in for its full share of credit as a funeral directorate of the highest class, and merit again showed itself when Mr. Johnson's place was selected for demonstrative purposes by Prof. Albert Worsham, Instructor and Demonstrator for the famous Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanitary Science and Embalming, of Chicago and New York, one of the 'argest of its kind in the world. The "Mico System," of which the Barnes Colleges are the originators, was given a thorough test in all the different phases of preparing bodies for interment, and with wonderful success. A large number of undertakers, both white and colored, attended the school, which lasted thirty days, coming from all over the State and portions of other States adjoining, and were greatly benefited by the instruction given by Mr. Worsham, which was the first class ever held in Tennessee on the "Mico System" and the first of any kind held within the State for a period of 30 days. One of the bodies prepared by Prof. Worsham by his new process was kept for ten days before shipment and gave the students who were in attendance a splendid opportunity to judge the difference between the old and the new process of preparing bodies for burial and in this as well as in other stubborn cases had, signal victories were secured by Prof. Worsha and his school. Among those attending the School while in session here from out of the State was Mr. B. Lincoln Teague, who is a promising young colored business man, owning and operating one of the most up-to-date funeral establishments in Western Kentucky, at Madisonville. Mr. Teague was the guest of Mr. A. N. Johnson while in the city. MUSICAL AT ST. ANDREW'S. There will be a musical entertainment at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Manse on the evening of the 23rd when some of Nashville's best talent will appear. Admission, 10 cents. The Sunday-school will celebrate Christmas on the afternoon of Friday the 24th at 4 p. m. in the basement of the new church. All of the friends of the church are invited to be present. The new church is nearly completed and it a beauty. THE BLACK PILGRIM IN THE HOLY LAND. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church on Monday night, December the 20th, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks will deliver his famous lecture, "The Holy City of Jerusalem and Environs." This is without doubt one of the most interesting and instructive lectures ever presented, and is is the first time the Negroes of Nashville have had such an opportunity to study conditions in the Old World at first hand. To read of Jerusalem in magazines and books, is a thing that draws upon the imagination, but Jerusalem in Jerusalem makes it a reality. Dr. Brooks has traveled extensively in the Old World, having visited Madeira, Algiers, Valetta, Malta, Athens, Constantinople, Smyrna, Beyrout, Caifa, Jerusalem, Gibralta, Naples, and Rome. While in those countries he collected a great number of views that he has converted into dissolving pictures. The learned doctor in his lectures makes such clear and convincing explanation of the pictures that one is made to feel that he is in the presence of the philosophers of Athens, that Jerusalem's streets are being traversed, and Rome is before the view with its many wonders. Nashville should feel highly complimented to have so distinguished a citizen, and on Monday night every one should take advantage of the opportunity afforded to be enlightened on the conditions in the Old World. Dr. Brooks is a member of several of the leading lecture bureaus in the West and ranks among the foremost men in that profession, but his lecture Monday night is to be given to the people of Nashville for the small admittance fee of 15 cents.* PLANS BEING FORMULATED. For the Semi-Centennial Celebration of Emancipation Proclamation. Washington, D. C., Dec. 14.—Last August at Louisville, Ky., the National Negro Business League passed a resolution empowering its President, Dr. Booker T. Washington, to proceed to formulate plans for holding in 1913 a Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. Last month Dr. Washington laid the matter before president Taft and the latter immediately gave his approval of the plan, and in his annual message transmitted to Congress, Monday, December 6, not only indorsed the proposition, but requested permission of Congress, to appoint a commission to consider plans, etc., for holding such an exposition. To carry out the President's suggestion, and at the request and suggestion of leading officers of the National Negro Business League, and other interested bodies, Congressman E. L. Taylor, Jr., of Ohio, member of the House Committee on Appropriations, and Congressman William A. Rodenberg, chairman of the House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, have together offered the following joint resolution, which was introduced in Congress Tuesday of this week: Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled. That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby authorized to appoint a commission consisting of seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is advisable to hold an exposition in the United States in the year nineteen hundred and thirteen to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation granting freedom to the Negroes; and that the said commission report to Congress on the first Monday in December, nineteen hundred and ten. Sec. 2. That to enable said commission to carry out the purposes of this Act, the sum of five thousand dollars, cr so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby authorized to be expended. The members of said commission shall serve without compensation, but shall be paid their necessary expenses, and disbursements made under this Act shall be made by the Secretary of the Treasury on vouchers approved by the Chairman of said commission. J. C. NAPIER IN WASHINGTON For more than ten days the Hon. J. C. Napier has been sojourning in the Nation's Capital. His direct purpose was to attend the Board meeting of the Anna T. Jean Fund, he being the Tennessee representative on the board. This board is composed of a number of well-known men, whose reputations are national. The meeting of the board, according to press dispatches, was held at the White House yesterday. It is supposed that since President Taft is a member of the Jean Fund Board, that this meeting was called at the White House to suit his convenience. At the last meeting that Mr. Napier attended he was instrumental in having several thousand dollars distributed among the rural schools of this state, and hope is entertained that this meeting will accomplish similar results. There are many rumors afloat as to the significance of Mr. Napier's prolonged stay in Washington, the fact that such political leaders as Evans, Saunders Hale and others were in Washington at the same time, creates the impression that some agreement will be reached effecting the distribution of a lot of choice "Federal pie." Diligent inquiry, however, among Mr. Napier's closest friends, disclosed nothing to warrant this suspicion, and yet, the close relation that he has had with the Evans-Saunders-Hale combination makes his friends feel assured that something unusually good is in store for him. More than once his name has been mentioned as the probable nominee for a lucrative office at Washington or some port. The recent recognition and appointments of adherents of this faction of the republican party in Tennessee are the foundation for much of this speculation. It would occasion no surprise if Mr. Napier were appointed as Register of the Treasury, the position now held by Dr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas. While the attitude of the President has been severely criticised with regard to appointing Negroes to offices, he has made from time to time, appointments PART TWO. No. 50. NEGRO BANK INCREASING WITH ASTOUNDING RAPIDITY — TENNESSEANS PLANNING TO LAUNCH SEVENAL THE FIRST OF THE YEAR —OTHER STATES FALLING IN LINE. A statement as to the condition of the various Negro banks in the United States is with much care. In the course of preparation of the annual Negro banking article and forecast the financial man of the Nashville Globe vouchsafes the following statement: "An approximate of the Negro banks and chartered concerns doing a banking business for January, 1910, is causing the upsetting of much calculation that had been made early in the fall. A general shifting around caused by agitation of organizations of banks in the Volunteer State looks encouraging so far as the banking interest is concerned in the state of Tennessee. Without attempting to give any name and set any dates, but after gathering information that is reliable and generally authentic, 1910 will witness the launching and establishing of Negro banks in this state as fol'ows: Franklin, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Bristol, Jackson, Columbia, Clarksville and Murfreesboro. To these Memphis is supposed to come in with another. This is guaranteed because of her 52 per cent. Negro population in Shelby County—nine in all—a hard number to beat, together with the three already in operation and the one chartered to be located at Memphis, would, of course, call for the unlucky number of thirteen, but this is not counting money, or unlucky when adding institutions that have money. So we can look with a deal more pride on the business activity in Tennessee and the sound basis upon which many of these institutions are being organized and operated." This statement coming from the Globe's financial forecaster and bank directory man, will cause any number of people to watch the list of Negro banks that he purposes to publish early in January. It will give the name, location, capital stock, with the president and cashier, of every Negro bank in operation in the United States which has never been done before by any newspaper. Hence, the January number of the Nashville Globe will no doubt be eagerly sought and looked for. Tenessee will make a splendid showing, all things considered. in keeping with the precedent set by other presidents Such positions as Recorder of Deeds and Register of Treasury have generally been given to prominent Negro aspirants. There is no doubt but that Mr. Napier has the backing of both factions of the party in this state, which are said to be working in unison on certain appointments. The appointment of Attorney Tillman for another term and the slating of United States Marshal Overall are construed to mean that Middle Tennessee will be surrendered and left to the Evans-Saunders-Hale combination. Mr. Napier is expected to reach the city tomorrow, or Monday, but if he gives out anything as to what transpired, it will be unlike him; still in spite of his denials, his eligibility, from fitness and point of service to the party, will stand out as his most powerful endorsement. The Negroes of the entire state are asking recognition of their political leader, the one man who has, without fear or favor, stood up boldly at crucial moments using his time and means for the success of the grand old party in the "Volunteer State." Mr. Taft has been with us. He didn't say much, and we are glad he didn't. We have been loath to have him say anything about us every since his inaugural address—The Fisherman's Net. "The die is cast." The semi-centennial exposition of the progress is to be held in 1913. President Taft has endorsed it. Congress is sure to extend substantial aid. The States will follow suit. Booker T. Washington and the National Negro Business League will do the heavy work and the celebration will be an international success. Let's all pull off our coats and push the enterprise along.—The Freeman.
