THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. EMANGIPATION SPLENDID PROGRAM RENDERED AT THE UNIVERSITIES — MR. CLARK DELIVERS EXCELLENT ADDRESS AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY — GIVES ELABORATE SKETCH OF LINCOLN'S LIFE— PROF. H. T. KEALING, THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT FISK UNIVERSITY — ENTIRE STU- DENT BODY, FACULTY AND VISITORS FROM THE CITY TURN OUT. The forty-seventh anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation that was issued by the immortal Abraham Lincoln was fittingly observed in the city on January 1st. There was no street parade with gorgeously decorated floats that could have been used to show the progress of the race that was lifted from bondage. The weather was beautiful enough to permit of it but the citizens had planned otherwise. Two mammouth celebrations were held, one in South Nashville at the Meharry Auditorium under the auspices of Walden University which possibly attracted the largest and most enthusiastic crowd. The exercises began at 10 o'clock a.m. The magnificent audience that filled the auditorium bespoke the real spirit of patriotism that was kindled on this day. The speakers had every advantage and they used it in such a way that the audience applauded almost continually. More appropriate renditions, both in music and speech, have not been witnessed in many a day, notwithstanding the large number of meetings held in the auditorium. The following program was rendered: Selections—"Bridal Bouquet" Sawyer "Sweet Recollections," Hoffman University Orchestra. University Orchestra. Invocation .....

To statesmanship, it gave William Edward Gladstone; to science, Charles Darwin; to the world's literature, it gave Alfred Tennyson, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe; and to politics and the American people, it gave Abraham Lincoln. Born in the backwoods of Kentucky of parents poor to the last degree, rocked in the cradle of poverty, reared in a log-cabin, the early life of Abraham Lincoln was one of constant struggle, hardship and privation, yet, by his singleness of aim, honesty of purpose, and clear-sightedness of the right, he triumphed over every difficulty, and became the man who preserved the American Union, swept slavery from the United States, and kept her flag in the heavens. Having removed to Indiana with his father in 1816, young Abraham from ABRAHAM LINCOLN, The Liberator. ABRAHAM LINCOLN The Liberator. the age of thirteen to early manhood shared all the rough experiences of frontier life. Splitting rails and clearing forests by day and studying by firelight at night, he was no stranger to toil. When he had reached his majority, young Lincoln struck out from the ancestral cabin and began the battle of life for himself. Floating down the Mississippi River on a flatboat to New Orleans, he saw the horrors of slavery. Returning home, he settled at New Salem, Illinois, and later began the study of the law for which he had always had a decided preference, being admitted to the bar in 1836. As a lawyer, he was a seeker after truth. He worked in accordance with his convictions. Clothed in coarse homespun, clear of head and honest of heart, he stood before the bar, and seizing the most difficult thought, and presenting it in such homely phrase as to make the truth of it appreciable of all men, he drew the attention of his fellows and arose to distinction. Judged by his ancestry, Abraham Lincoln would have had no chance in the world prior to the nineteenth century. The door of opportunity would have been closed to him. His spirit crushed by cruel caste. But his fellowmen knew that within his home-spun jacket there stood a manly man. While on the other hand they knew that broadcloth may cover a dishonest heart; that a silk hat may crown an empty head, and a big name belong to one who has never done anything praiseworthy, to one incapable of a noble aspiration. The American people are becoming more and more inclined to take a man as they find him, and good men everywhere who contribute to the country's prosperity and add to the glory of American institutions have very little regard for what is known as "blood." So we need to congratulate ourselves that through pain and blood and years of terrible striving the world has at last come to the time when it is willing to accept the Abraham Lincoln, the Alexander Hamilton, the Frederick Douglasses and Booker T. Washington for the deeds they do, and for the merit in them, in spite of the fact that they had no distinguished fathers or grandfathers. Having been elected a member of the legislature for a number of times, Lincoln was sent to Congress from his adopted state in 1849. Serving one term, he returned home and resumed the practice of the law. But soon circumstances occurred which were to lift him from the obscurity of a country lawyer and set him upon an arena where the greatness of his soul, the clearness of his vision, and the saneness of his judgment could be made known. As a candidate for the office of United States Senator from Illinois (Continued on Page 5.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. ANNUAL DINNER GIVEN BY DR. BOYD NEW YEAR'S DAY. Baptist Publishing Chapel Scene of Beauty. EMPLOYEES AND FRIENDS ASSEMBLE AROUND TABLES LADEN WITH DELICIOUS VIANDS —FEAST TO THEIR HEARTS' CONTENT UNDER THE SHADOW OF GORGEOUS FESTOONS AND BUNTING—THE DOCTOR THE HAPPY BOY OF THE DAY—CRACKS JOKES AND ENJOYS THE FEAST—HANDSOME PRESENTS GIVEN BY EMPLOYEES—SOME APPROPRIATE SPEECHES. It would be impossible to adequately describe the annual New Year's dinner which was served by Dr. and Mrs. R.H. Boyd to the employees, members and several friends of the National Baptist Publishing Board on Saturday, January 1, 1910. These annual dinners have gone on from year to year until the employees of the Publishing Board consider it a part of their institution. Like unto their morning prayer and devotion, which is held at 9:30 each day, and which is looked forward to with a deal of pleasure, comes this annual festivity. Secretary Boyd appeared equally as jubilant, for indeed, when seen by a Globe representative several days prior to the dinner he exclaimed: "I am busy preparing New Year's dinner for my folks. You know my wife and I like to have the employees eat with us once a year." On Saturday all was expectancy and all were jolly at the Publishing House. Chapel services were held one hour earlier—the big bell rang at 8:30 instead of 9:30. It is learned that this moving up of the time was in order that the spacious chapel could be arranged for the serving of the dinner. The beehive-like appearance of the Publishing Plant took on an even more busy aspect, caused by the extra preparations being made for the meal. Wagons from the different merchants were delivering chickens, hams, turkeys and een shoats, with fruits, nuts, cakes, cream and other dell- --- cacies that were to be served to the host of workers. It was understood that they would not stop at the usual lunch hour, but all would work straight through until the bell rang for dinner. Some say it was an awful long hour and a half from 12 to 1:30. They say that the time dragged along at a small-like pace. Finally Secretary Boyd himself rang the bell. The first bell was to allow thirty minutes to prepare for the meal, and it hardly took that much time. Water was used only with the desire to hurry through and get to the dinner. In the chapel six long tables accommodating twenty each had been spread. The entire building was decorated in holiday attire and the very appearance of the room sharpened the appetite of each employee. At two o'clock they began to file in, filling the chapel, where there was a plate for each one. Dr. Boyd announced that Rev. Wm. Beckham would bless the table, after which dinner was begun in earnest. During the course of the meal, speeches touching upon the occasion and the general scope of the work being accomplished by the Publishing Board were made. Among the speakers was Hon. J. C. Napier, Cashier of the One-Cent Savings Bank. Mr. Napier said: "We never hesitate to honor such an enterprising, highly respected, worthy citizen as Dr. Boyd, the founder and manager of this Publishing House. He has been in our city for a number of years, and through his efforts the city of Nashville has become known all over the civilized world. The fact that the National Baptist Publishing Board is located here—and we recognize that it was through his efforts that such is the case—keeps us constantly on the minds of 2,500,000 Negro Baptists almost daily, and we are before 10,000,000 Negroes and many more millions, who look this way for information concerning this great denomination." Mr. T. G. Ewing, Cashier of the People's Savings Bank, was the next speaker. He said: "It is not mine to make speeches. I am here and feel that I am a part of the institution, as I have been associated with it from its very beginning. I had an office in the Brown Building in 1896, where Dr. Boyd began this plant. I have been constantly and continually connected with it, not only as a Baptist, but as the attorney for the institution, hence I do not consider myself a guest, but part and parcel of this, the denomination's pride and boast." Another speaker was Prof. J. Dr. Crenshaw, editor of the National Baptist Review. Mr. Crenshaw spoke at length upon the advent of the youngest and yet one of the largest and best known journals now before the public. He said: "You do me quite an honor to pick me out from among the busy working class that toils with you daily, and demand a speech. As editor of the Review I might say incidentally here that it blossoms forth in the journalistic arena as a moulder of sentiment and thought; it comes to fill a long-felt want and will deal with conditions and institutions such as exist in the denominational ranks. It will speak out fearlessly and boldly for the benefit of the race and denomination, being constructive and not destructive. It will push forward and not backward, lifting the young people up the rugged peaks of the Alps and showing them that 'beyond lies Italy.' The National Baptist Review will find its own place and territory without attempting to rival or displace any journal now before the people." In finishing, Mr. Crenshaw said that on behalf of every employee of the Publishing Board, he wanted to present a token of respect to their chieftain, Dr. Boyd. He presented him with a Stetson hat, one dozen collars, a pair of gray kid, silk-lined gloves and a black silk tie. Mr. Crenshaw remarked that he was proud to state that every employee had contributed toward these gifts, which only conveyed in a small degree the high appreciation and esteem in which they hold Dr. Boyd. Mr. Dave Davidson then presented Mrs. Anne Dickson, the mother of Dr. Boyd, who is in her 87th year and yet hale and hearty, with a present from the cabinet department. The last speech to be made was one by Rev. William Beckham, D. D., Field Secretary. Dr. Beckham electrified the employees with his logical and witty remarks. He spoke on "Watchman, What of the Night?" He dealt with the progress made by the race and the denomination, and the rapid advance of every department of the Publishing Board and its interests. Dr. Beckham was applauded heartily. The National Baptist quartet, Messrs. J. H. Kelly, Jr., Clarence Harwell, Chas. McLin and Dan Barry, rendered some nice selections during the (Continued on Page 8.) No.1. "VIVA MAGEO!" American Hotel Keeper Walks Chalk Line. TWO NEGRO CONGRESSMEN REFUSED DRINKS AT HOTEL PLAZA — BARTENDER HAULED IN COURT AND HEAVILY FINED —NEGROES FOUR HUNDRED STRONG APPLY TO BE SERVED AFTER THE TRIAL—NOT A SINGLE ONE REFUSED —CASE FOUGHT IN COURT BY SENOR MORUA DEL GADO, THE NEGRO PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE. Havana, Jan. 3.—A strong race feeling has been engendered by the trouble which arose last night at the Hotel Plaza, an American house, over the refusal of the bartender to serve drinks to two Negro Congressmen. This resulted in a riot, although no one was seriously injured, made necessary the calling out of the police reserves. To-day the clerk of the hotel was arraigned in the Correctional Court and fined $70; An enormous crowd of Negroes, including a strong representation of the Veteran's Association, attended the court session and demanded "exemplary punishment on account of the insult to the colored race. Senor Morua Del Gado, President of the Senate and leader of the Negro element, conducted the prosecution and insisted upon the extreme penalty, which is a fine of $1,000 and six months in jail. The decision of the court to inflict a minor penalty was greeted with strong expressions of disapproval. After the adjournment of court, the two Negro Congressmen, heading a procession of 400 Negroes, marched to the hotel, crying, "Viva Maceo!" "Viva La Patria!" They entered the bar and demanded drinks, which were served with no further protest. The incident has caused much excitement and there are grave fears of a serious race clash. Many Cubans are sympathizing with the attitude of the American hotel management, but to-night a strong guard of police has been thrown about the place. "El Triunfo," a Government organ, publishes a bitter editorial, declaring that all blacks and whites in Cuba are upon a plane of absolute equality, and that "the Americans must be taught by the strong arm of the law that they shall not be permitted to introduce into Cuba the anti-Negro gentiments prevailing in the United States." CORRECTION The Nashville Globe is not $1.00 a year as was stated in our Christmas issue of December 17th. This was a typographical error. The manager of the Nashville Globe wishes to announce that he will send the Globe to any address for one year upon receipt of $1.50, or six months for 80 cents, three months for 40 cents. Those who are behind with their subscriptions will please send them in to the Nashville Globe. Address your letter to 447 Fourth avenue, North, or call Main 4732 and ask that a collector be sent to your address. All subscribers not paid up will please be as liberal toward the Globe as the Globe is toward them. You have received the paper. You have enjoyed reading it for it has kept you posted on the happenings each week. Many of you have sent it to your friends out of the city, and in all justice to yourself, your friends, and the Globe send your remittance. TO BE REPEATED. At the request of many who were unable to be present at that morning service owing to the inclementy of the weather, Gounod's setting to the Holy Communion so beautifully sung by the vested choir of Holy Trinity Church on Christmas morning, will be repeated at 11 o'clock next Sunday morning in honor of the feast of the Epiphany, or Manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. An Impending Crisis. Ethnography, Ethnogeny, Ethnology, Ethography, Ethology and Ethno-psychology are cognate medical studies, and their discussion not only interests, but effects the medical profession. A knowledge of these subjects is necessary for the physician who would understand his profession fully, and maintain his proper socio-economic position. "Know thyself," wrote the Grecian philosopher of old. "The proper study of mankind is man," echoed the English poet a thousand years later. In every age and in every clime, man and his relation to man has formed the themes for the highest manifestations of intellectual. Art, literature, philosophy, statesmanship, yea, civilization itself, are but phases of these wonderful themes. Thus, biography is one of the most entrancing subjects and ethnology is an open sesame to public notice. These fundamental truths apply with peculiar cogency to the colored medical men to-day, when the persistent agitation of the race question is slowly, but surely, undermining the foundations of our success. Current literature fairly teems with the discussions of the Negro question; and commercial exploitation, or political advantage, or personal notoriety is the usual actuating motive. As a consequence few of these articles exhibit that careful regard for accuracy or philosophical poise that should characterize profitable ethnological study. In fact, they seem arguments to establish preconceived notions, rather than inquiries after the truth. Spectacular rhetoric, rather than sound conclusion seems to be their goal. Two illustrations will suffice: In Hampton's Magazine for October, under the startling title, "Exit The Black Man," Judge Harris Dickson, author of the "Unknowable Negro," "The Negro in Politics," etc., wraps himself in the robes of ethnological prescience and foretells the physical doom of the black man in America. The opening paragraph is typical of the whole article, and of these articles generally. The dogmatic assertion, the lurid rhetoric, the startling conclusions, the abuse of the Negro, the adcapandum vulgus appeal, and the denunciation of those venturing any opposite opinion—all—are here. "Forty years ago the Negro was the healthiest man in America. To-day he is the weakest, most predisposed to disease, the man with the least resistive power. Heredity and the white man's regulations made him what he was in '65; heredity and the Negro mode of life makes him what he is to-day. The causes stand out like sign-boards, so plain that a voluntary ignorance alone can refuse to comprehend." The entire article is a splendid illustration of an ingenious method of reasoning so often employed by lawyers to carry their point—special pleading—taking a part of the facts and representing them as all the facts. Indeed, the Judge is himself, an apt illustration of what he so euphemistically calls. "voluntary ignorance." It is doubtful if either one of the four sentences of this remarkable paragraph is true. I know of no way to test accurately the truthfulness of the first two sentences and will simply enter a demurrer and pass on to the third which happily can be tested historically and philosophically. The blackest chapters in the long, dark story of "Man's Inhumanity to Man" are the American chattel slavery laws of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A Southern man, either black or white, who would drag forth from the limbo of the past the "white man's regulations" of slavery days, must be strangely lacking in patriotism or full of "voluntary ignorance." All who wish may examine these melancholy monuments to man's all too successful efforts to make his brother mourn. You will see there upon what kind of foundation rests the judge's declaration about slavery promoting "stricter observance of family ties" and understand why he throws a sop to the cerebus of justice by exclaiming, "This is not intended to defend or idolize slavery." To keep the white man from shame and the black man from bitterness, let us all keep our faces to the morning and forget the regulations of those "agonizing, cruel slavery days." The Negro's physical vigor of antebellum days was the gift of nature—the common heritage of her savage children. His survival was due to the merciless and murderous selection of the slave trade across the Atlantic. Only the toughest physically could THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. withstand the rigors of the slave ships and the brutality of the slave-trader. The absence of sickness was due to the well-known fact that the weak did not survive to become sick. Miscarriages precluded invalids, and the graveyard excluded the hospital. "The march of medical science has steadily decreased the white death-rate, but can do nothing for the Negro, because the Negro will do nothing for himself." "They mate without ceremony and separate without formality." The race had no morals to start with and has gained none by its American experience." "Their teachers are not succeeding in creating a moral sense." "The result is everywhere the same," etc., etc., etc., are some of the statements which he mixes with statistics to prove the Negro's physical weakness and moral obliquity, and to reach the melancholy but effective solution" that "the American Negro is on a toboggan slide skidding down to death," and will make his grave "beside the Maori, the Hawaiian, and the North American Indian, among the races of men who have perished from the earth." There are some fundamental errors in this article. 1. Judging the whole race from the lowest stratum, absolutely ignoring the educated and law-abiding. 2. Accepting statistics from cities as applicable to the whole race and accepting statistical forecasts as tests of vitality. The Negro is not the only one who has failed to meet the prognostications of social prophets. What of Malthus and his conclusions? There are three kinds of lies, "plain lies, damn lies and statistics," so some one has said, and yet statistics are not all against us. They indicate an improvement in the decade from 1890-1900 over that from 1880-1890. There is nothing to indicate that the forthcoming census will show retrogression. The Negroes are still increasing in numbers, notwithstanding all obstacles and the well-known social law of decreasing intellectual and financial growth. Estimating female chastity by statistics of bastardy is an uncertain procedure, since there are no reliable figures of abortions, and foundling asylums do not publish detailed accounts of their business. 3. Unjust comparisons. None of the banished races ever became adapted to the white man's civilization as has the American Negro. They never built churches, acquired property, founded and maintained schools, produced lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, doctors and trained nurses. The American Negro has done all these things which they neglected. Why should he follow them to extinction? But the Indian is not extinct, but increasing (see note 1.), and the three main causes of the enormous death-rate (see note 3) among Negroes have reached their maximum and are receding. These causes are:—(a) Unsanitary surroundings, (b) Poverty, (c) Ignorance. They act and re-act upon one another in such way that it is hard to seperate them. The unsanitary conditions of the congested Negro districts (very much like the slum dwellers of other nationalities) are brought about primarily by the poverty and ignorance of the inhabitants, but made almost inevitable by race prejudice, and perpetuated by the rapacity, cruelty and licentiousness of the ruling classes. A Negro can scarcely rent or buy elsewhere. Poverty is one of the consequences of ignorance. The lamentation of the Hebrew prophet three thousand years ago holds good to-day: "My people are led into captivity because they have no knowledge." The difficulty efficient Negroes have in getting and holding paying jobs may be mentioned in extenuation if not in explanation of this poverty. (See note 2.) Again poverty and disease will produce ignorance, and of course if the congested slums of great cities, either North or South, were the sole reliance for race perpetuity, race prejudice would undoubtedly fit the warp of ignorance and the woof of disease into the loom of civic oppression in such manner that time would weave the winding-sheet of the Negro race in America. The cityward movement is a detriment to the race, and must be checked. 4. Regarding frailties that are human and universal as peculiar Negro vices—superstition, for instance. (E.g. Holy Rollers, witchcraft are good illustrations where no Negro is concerned.) So ends the first illustration wherein the Negro is damned because of susceptibility to disease. The second is like unto it. VAMPIRE OF THE SOUTH. "The Vampire of the South," is the sensational title under which Marion Hamilton Carter discusses Unclearsis in McClure's Magazine for October in a manner quite entertaining, if not philosophical. Through a wilderness of coruscating sentences and serpentine logic, he damns the Negro for the diametrically opposite cause—immunity to disease. The Negro is the cause of Ucinariasis in the United States, notwithstanding, it was first seen in Italy, and the first epidemic was among the workmen on St. Gotthard's tunnel where no Negroes were, because forsooth, it does not effect the Negro as badly as it does the white man! "Negro crimes of violence number dozens where his sanitary sins number tens of thousands." etc. The above advocacy of segregation or deportation of the Negroes in the United States; the fierce fight for Negro disfranchisement now going on in Maryland, under the very shadow of the Capitol, the same thing taking form in Tennessee, having just succeeded in Georgia; the recent declaration of a Harvard professor that the Northern Negro medical man is a failure; the resolution of a Louisiana Medical Society declaring it a menace to the public welfare to permit Negroes to practice medicine, and the agitation in Mississippi for the enactment of a statute absolutely excluding the Negro from the practice of law, medicine, pharmacy or dentistry, to say nothing of the low growl of the habitual agitators who win public notice and may hap public office and money, by abusing the Negro, are but "signboards, so plain that a voluntary ignorance alone, can refuse to comprehend" the effect of such writings. The race question is up to the Medical Profession, and a crisis is impending. It is up to the colored medical men. Are these charges false? We should prove them so and vindicate our people. Are these charges true? We should find the remedy and redeem our race. Where are our hygienists, sanitarians, ethologists, ethnopsychologists? It is hard to exceed in force and truthfulness these words of Judge Dickson: "No nation has ever become great, and no individual has ever become strong, except by conquering adverse conditions. "The qualities of a people, good or ill, count for naught if that people lacks the physical vitality to triumph over death. Vigorous health must always be the powerful weapon in the struggle to survive." WHAT WILL THE NEGRO DOCTOR DO? The American Negro is sui-generis. His condition is unique in the history of races. He is now passing through a period of adjustment—racial moving, as it were—from bondage to freedom. The freedman is becoming a free man. Losses always attend moving. As we get settled in the house of freedom we will surround ourselves with more of the virtues and less of the vices of that condition. There are distinctive slave virtues that are not virtues in freedom. All observers see that the Negro is throwing off the former; only those associated with the best of the Negro race, know he is putting on a glorious substitute, the virtues of a free man. The freedman is becoming in reality a free man. Medical knowledge alone can conserve us in the hour of the transition. The vital question is—What will the Negro doctor do? Note 1.—"Twenty years ago there were 260,000 Indians in the United States. To-day there are 300,000. In ten years the Indian population in Canada has increased by 10,000. The noble red man is not, therfore, becoming extinct as rapidly as the world had been led to believe."—Editorial, Nashville American, Oct. 15, 1909. Note 2.—"One of the actuating motives of the Fireman's strike in Georgia, and the Switchman's strike in Texas was that the jobs paid too well to be held by Negroes. What was implied in Georgia was openly expressed in Texas. Note 3.—"The death-rate in this city per thousand for colored people in a recent month was less than for white people, and each day there is an improvement in the sanitary conditions even of the lowest type of Negro."

THE LANDERS POULTRY PEN, 1503 Fourteenth Ave., N., NASHVILLE, TENN. Wrested From the Republicans, Will Be Democratic for Four Years. Hopkinsville, Ky., January 3.—Christian County to-day passed under Democratic rule for the first time in its history. Every office will be occupied by a Democrat for the coming four years. The new officials are: J. Walter Knight, County Judge; R. T. Stone, County Court Clerk; Low Johnson, Sheriff; W. A. Radford, County Court Clerk; A. E. Mullins, Jailer; John C. Duffy, County Attorney; Hermand Southall, Representative; Miss Jennie West, Superintendent of Public Schools; Dr. J. H. Rice, Coroner; L. J. Harris, Assessor; H. B. Crunk, Surveyor. The Democrats will also control the Fiscal Court by six to two. None of the startling results of the last election caused more widespread comment than did the action of Christian County. This was considered one of the Republican Gibraltars and it always made good with a majority for that side ranging from 800 to 1,500. Last November the majorities on the Democratic side ranged from 450 to 1,350. This is another case of Negroes deserting the old partyy that had fed them on promises for over forty years, and elected to office Democrats who made no promises other than good government and fair execution of the law. MR. AND MRS. KENNEDY ENTERTAIN. The beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kennedy, on Lischey avenue, East Nashville, was the scene of a merry New Year's party last Saturday night. The affair marked the formal opening of their new residence and was characteristic of former hospitalities shown by this gracious host and hostess. For the occasion the interior of the house was attractive with profuse decorations combining the holiday colors. Although music was enjoyed, the principal feature of the evening was a progressive whist game in which the first prize, a china hair receptacle, was won by Miss Belma Mahan and Dr. A. L. Hawkins. The booby, a bottle of catup, was given Miss Hattie Hodgkins and Dr. Jasper T. Phillips. An elaborate supper was served in courses and throughout the evening frappe was dispensed by Miss Mahan, who also assisted in receiving the guests. Those present were Miss Mary L. Clark, and her house guests Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Porter, of Owensboro, Ky., Misses Elizabeth Gray, Maud Roberts, Mattie B. Scales, Belma Mahan, Lady Emma Phillips, Ruth Pearl McKinney, Hattie Hodgkins, Eleanor Battle, Anita Scott, Lucy and Lottie Phillips, Messrs. Chas. Greer Alonzo Kennedy, Drs. Haven Moores J. Q. Taylor, O. L. Bledsoe, A. L. Hawkins, Garrett, Wilson, Burke Gray, J. T. Phillips. SAID ABOUT THE COMMETARY. Remarks calculated to influence no little attention on the National Baptist Sunday-School Lesson Commentary are being made from time to time by scholars, prominent speakers and newspapers of note. The 1910 edition is being mailed out rapidly. The following comment on the book, comes from Atlanta, Ga.: "I have enjoyed looking through and reading-the-Sunday-School Lesson Commentary for 1910. I am forced to admit that it requires much research and thoughtfulness to produce such a clear, concise and explicit note on the lessons, as were given, and these, together with a splendid map and dictionary and class record blanks, also the helpful information in the first of the book on the Modern Sunday-school Methods, make up a book that will be valuable to any Sunday-school worker and indispensable to the teacher. I trust that you will be able to get the commentary into the hands of thousands who have not had it before. When they have once used it I am sure that they will not want to be without it. MISS HELLEN A. MCALPHINE Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga." Others are sending in the most flattering compliments from all over the country about this book. NEGRO NORMAL, AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. The plans for the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College, which has been authorized by Tennessee to be established for Negroes, were discussed before the committee which is to wait upon the City Council, Board of Trade and County Court, and the Committee on Location on last Friday morning. These two committees have been called to meet in joint session by Chairman Carr, who announced at the Thursday night mass-meeting that Superintendent Jones would be present to lend whatever encouragement he could to the effort being put forth by the Negroes of Nashville in their attempt to secure the location of this school in Davidson County. The meet THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 7. 1910. ing was called to order in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board by Chairman Carr and almost a full attendance of the two committees was present. The meeting had been opened and discussions indulged in for some time before the arrival of Superintendent Jones. As soon as he reached the building he was cordially received and immediately began to take up his subject, speaking to the point and in the interest of honest efforts, such as he knew could be put forth by a people who were really working for something. It was plainly evident that Prof. Jones, while neutral, was not slow in encouraging the citizens in their work and in the general plans they had for prosecuting the same. It was agreed after the superintendent left that three speakers should be elected from this committee: R. F. Boyd, M. D., to the County Court; J. C. Napier to address the City Council and R. H. Boyd, the Board of Trade. Moving in these three divisions and yet as a committee it is expected that the results will be so encouraging that at least $50,000 will be secured. The Committee on Location withheld its report on account of the absence of Chairman Haynes. HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT. Miss Lucille Cotten entertained a congenial party of friends very charmingly at her home on Thirteenth avenue, South, Monday afternoon in honor of Miss Maud Donelson, who is attending St. Elizabeth Academy, of St. Louis, and is spending the holidays with her parents. Dancing and card-playing were the amusements of the evening. One especially enjoyable feature of the occasion was the excellent music by Mr. Robert Donelson. An ice course was served. MISS VAUGHN ENTERTAINS Last Thursday evening Miss Beatrice D. Vaughn entertained her guest, Miss Lottie L. Anthony, of Atlanta, Ga. She was assisted in receiving by her mother, Mrs. M. D. Vaughn. Dancing and games were the features of the evening. Elaborate refreshments were served. The guests were Misses Lottie D. Anthony, Carrie Ewing, Willie McGavock, Susie and Lucile Dobson, Minnie Starnes, Marie Stockell, Messrs. H. G. Claiborne, H. H. Walker, A. W. Thompson, E. M. Brown, A. W. West, O. R. Busch, A. Porter, W. M. Pollard, and Matthews. NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE CLUB The Night Blooming Jasmine Club met with Mrs. Thomas Vaughn, of 913 Warren street. The meeting opened with a song, "Blessed Assur-Assurance." Roll called, minutes read and approved, after which the ladies began their embroidery work, showing the different pieces which they had finished since the last meeting. It was decided among the club members that Mrs. F. A. Turner, of 915 Ninth avenue, South, had done the best work and finished the greatest number of pieces. The ladies were invited to the dining-room, where a six-course menu was served. The club was delighted to welcome the following visitors: Mesdames Addie Canton, of East Nashville, W. B. Perkins, Wood, Lough and G. W. Carson, of Kansas City. The meetin closed by singing "God be with you till we meet again." MISS LOTTIE ANTHONY HON ORED. On Saturday afternoon, January 1, Mrs. Marshall N. Cheatham, of 80 University street, entertained at dinner in honor of her sister, Miss Lottie D. Anthony, of Atlanta, Ga., who was one of the season's visitors. The dining-room was tastefully decorated with Christmas colors, the effect being that of a day-dream. Mrs. Cheatham was assisted in receiving by Miss Hula M. Lyttle. Those present were Rev. and Mrs. G. Lake Imes, Misses Lottie L. Anthony, Maria H. G. Coombs, Maude J. Roberts, Selene McGavock, Beatrice Vaughn, Dr. W. E. Gray, Messrs H. G. Clayborne, G. Hamilton Francis, John Q. Taylor, W. Burney, A. Wayman West, J. A. Lyles and C. E. Cooper. The following menu was served at four o'clock: Oyster soup, crackers, olives, celery, pickles, roast turkey, a' la Princess potato salad with green peas, ice cream, layer cake, nuts, raisins, mints. CHRISTMAS MYSTERY. A religious play that has attracted no little attention was given Thursday night a Brown Hall on Cedar street. This play was the production of Rev. Father A. G. Coombs, Rector of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. A very pleasing rendition it was and the audience was not slow in showing its appreciation. The proceeds from the play are for the benefit of lifting the indebtedness on the church, as they are now domiciled in the splendid rock building at the intersection of Ewing avenue and South High street.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. FOURTH BIRTHDAY. Our last issue marked the fourth birthday of The Globe. Four years we have, as best we could, espoused the cause of the people, and with this same purpose in view we begin our fifth year. We have not pleased all the people at all times, but we can truthfully say that we have always striven to be just toward every one. We start our fifth year as publishers of The Nashville Globe with the same determination we had when we first began, and that is to see to it that the Negro's bright side be kept before the world's view. THE REACTION. Recently the committee, whose duty it is to investigate conditions in the prisons in this state, brought to light shocking practices of cruelty in some of the houses where misdemeanor prisoners are confined. But if reports are true, the conditions in Tennessee, while bad, are very mild when compared with those in other states. In the daily press of December 31, 1909, cases are cited in Georgia and Oklahoma that are as brutal as have been heard of in any country in the world. It shows to what extent the lawless spirit has grown in this country, and proves without doubt that a mob is no respector of persons. In one case it is reported that women, white and black, are strung up so that the tips of their toes barely touch the floor and are left so until they faint. Others have been beaten to death in the same prison. In another state instances are cited where in an asylum the inmates are treated worse than prisoners, several deaths resulting therefrom. In the "Nashville American" of January 1, S. W. Divine, of Chattanooga, Tenn., in writing of the solid South and the elimination of the Negro from politics declares that the Ku Kluxs accomplished that in their day. He goes on in a happy vein to tell how awestricken the black people were when the first band of Ku Kluxs began to make nightly visitations to the homes of Negroes, and says that they lost their interest in the franchise as fast as they gained knowledge of the Ku Klux Klan, "the greatest secret organization th world has ever known." Yes, the Ku Klux Klan was a "great" secret organization, if we make the words great and damnable synonymus, and its effects are still visible in the land; in the mob, the white caps, the nightriders and last, but not least, THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. the barbarous prison keepers. But none of these semi-civilized clans have accomplished their main purpose. The Negroes continue to vote. Every southern state has enacted some form of laws to restrict the voting privilege, but in every instance, time has proven that the law abridges about as many whites as blacks. These lawless organizations are proving the undoing of the South, and the white men, those who have the interest of the country at heart, are awakening to the realization of the fact. S. W. Divine's kind of arguments appeals to a class, but they are on the rapid decline. The American must have thought so to have kept his article out of its columns from December 2, 1909, until January 1, 1910. The large majority of the Southern people desire to forget the Ku Klux, the mob, the white cap and the nightriders. They realize the danger in teaching the young generation such lawless practices, for the reaction has set in, and unless it is checked will ultimately ruin this section of our country. BAPTIST COMMENTARY We acknowledge receipt of a copy of "The National Baptist Commentary" of the International Sunday-school lesson for the year 1910. The book consists of 392 pages and contains the following special features: Calendar for 1910; Teacher's Memorandum; Key Map of Palestine; Preface; Modern Sunday-School Methods, (five chapters); Books Used and Referred to in the Preparation of this Volume and a Teacher's Class Record. Each lesson has a Scripture Text, Motto Text, Lesson Setting, Lesson Outline, Daily Home Reading, Introduction to the Lesson, Exposition, Special Topics, Truths Gleaned from the Lesson, With the Primary Teacher and Questions on the Lesson. The volume shows that extreme care was exercised in the selection and preparation of the matter for the book; the same is true of the mechanical construction, but the fact that is the most interesting is that the entire book, writing, printing and binding, is the product of Negro brain and skill. We have watched the progress of this work with keen interest for seven years, and note that each edition has increased in resourcefulness. The 1910 volume compares very favorably with the best commentaries published in this country. The Negro race in the United States and throughout the world is lifted many degrees in the estimation of thinking people by the mere existence of such a book, and the Negro Baptists that affiliate with the National Convention, which is the highest tribunal in this country of the Negroes of that faith, have ample reason to look with pride on their great leader, Dr. R. H. Boyd, who has done more than any man in the country to enlighten the people of his denomination of their ability to prepare and publish their own literature. The Negro race as a whole can point with pride to the issuance of this book as a great achievement of an emancipated people whose freedom came to them less than fifty years ago. The National Baptist Publishing Board, where the Commentary is published, is ranked among the leading publishing concerns of this country, and of the many books they have published, the National Baptist Commentary is by far the best. THE COST OF LIVING Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is the one member of Mr. Taft's Cabinet that the eyes of the people all over the country are riveted upon. His investigations of the prices being charged for foodstuffs is an undertaking in which all are concerned. The cost of living has been steadily on the increase in this country for a long time, and is beginning to affect the people seriously. Wages paid for labor have not increased in proportion with the prices charged for the necessities of life, and while that is not out of the ordinary, it is generally expected and is absolutely necessary that they be kept on as near equal footing as possible. Somebody is responsible for this condition of affairs, and who that some- body is would be welcome news to the head of the Agricultural Department of the Federal Government. The farmers have been cleared of the charge, if Secretary Wilson is correctly quoted, so the fault lies between the manufacturer and the retailer, with the jobber and wholesaler sandwitched in. The people are becoming alarmed over the matter, and relief that smacks of permanancy would be joyfully welcomed. The people of Tennessee can beat the world crawfishing. They get up in the morning bubbling over with the progressive spirit only to return the day following to enjoin themselves from doing what they planned to do the day before. The Murfreesboro and Nashville controversies over educational matters are splendid examples. Being a Negro is not as disadvantageous as some would have us believe. At least, the blue-vein fellow who had passed as a white man in New York State for several years did not think so when he learned a few days ago that a wealthy Negro relative had die. He promptly set about to prove that he was a Negro. This poor devil does not deserve one cent of his black kinsman's fortune. American white people are doing everything in their power to inculcate into the white Cubans the race hatred that exists in this country. They have failed in the first attempts, but we would have our black Cuban brother to know that he need not for once believe that the case is settled. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Is It a Conspiracy? The alleged rebellion at Howard University is all a myth. The widely circulated report is the work of conspirators. The colored people of this country will wake up one of these fine mornings and be minus of Howard University. It is asserted upon the highest authority that there is no disagreement among the students of Howard University—is it conspiracy? Are there any enemies within? Why should such a report be circulated? It is the conception of a base brain! In another column there will be seen an article giving the full particulars of the alleged rebellion at this institution.—The Bee. We shall now have the Maryland Legislature on our hands, and just what that notable body of lawmakers will do is past the comprehension of the ordinary mortal, for a State Legislature is capable of doing almost anything in this world and we have had some awful experience with Maryland Legislatures.—Afro-American. * * * No Shame in the Negro "Folk-Song." No Negro should be ashamed to sing the "folk-songs" which were made a part of our history by our fathers and mothers in Israel. The German, the Irishman, the Italian, the Scotchman and the Indian all love the melodies peculiar to their nativity. They have a sentimental attachment for them, because they first heard them in their infancy and because they furnished the inspiration which led them to strive for the heights as an integral part of the human family, distinct from all other parts, by a language, environment, race or some other characteristic that fed the instinct of brotherhood or made clannishness a necessity. Dr. Dvorak, than whom there is no better authority, says that the only music which America can claim as really original is the "folk-song" developed by the Negro as an expression of his religious fervor in the dark days of slavery. There is much in them that is soulful, uplifting and fascinating to the ear. Without going deeply into the motive of the meter of the "folk song," The Sentinel wishes to say here that it is in hearty sympathy with the schools or churches or societies which feel disposed to preserve the best of the famous melodies and which are trying to impress the unthinking with the idea that there is no shameful memory attaching to a type of music that cheered and spurred onward a race that was once held in bondage, but whose faith in God was of such a fervent nature that blessings were so generously showered upon them that they have made a degree of progress since emancipation that has staggered the entire civilized world and established themselves in history as a wonderful people. To embalm the Negro "folk song" in some endearing, dignified form is a work worthy of the genius of Coleridge Taylor. That eminent composer has here an opportunity that will give him a greater vogue than that which grew out of his sublime conception of the Indian melodies embodied in "Hiawatha." President W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University, is wholly correct in his suggestion that the Negro has every reason to be proud of the religious songs bequeathed by our forefathers, and Howard University does herself credit when she steps aside for a moment from the beaten path of routine labors to lend its cultured voice to the singing of those old tunes that speak a volume of history to the mind that can grasp the lofty spirit of Christian devotion and the pathos of hope that they carry. We part with history when we part with the "folk-song" which the Negro of the South reveres next to the Bible itself—The Florida Sentinel. Editor Nashville Globe: "Get together;" "there must be an understanding among the leaders," etc., are among the admonitions issues from the editorial columns of the Globe, and still the business men, the professional men and leaders do not. Among the classes we might cite the fear of the fate of the lady who rode the tiger to Niger and who subsequently rode back from Niger in the tiger. A gentleman, upon urgent invitation, went to a recent meeting. All were invited to speak, ask questions and enter into the spirit. One gentleman, by actual count, consumed twenty per cent of the time, on and off the floor, speaking and interrupting other speaking. An attempt was made to ask a question, when the presiding officer arose, lifted his hand and said, "Wait a minute," and went into eulogy of several minutes and decided to bring the meeting to a close. This calling of business men together after all plans are previously laid and agreed upon and the subsequent throttling of free speech by those of the non-elect, is not going to get any body of moment together. The same ring of men to predominate in everything by "Divine Right" is not relished by a goodly number of people who are expected to enthuse. There is such a thing as a difference of opinion. Men can be led, not driven. Many a man successful in one line of endeavor getting it into his cranium that he possesses superior qualities of leadership in things—commercial, political, ecclesiastical, social and fraternal—proceeds to monopolize and command, only to find that men are not willing to always, in everything, follow his individual commands. The man who would lead must have modesty. In asking concerning the record of a certain man of learning, who never loses an occasion to display the same, vocally, in all public meetings, we were informed that he was ever ready to endorse, advise, subscribe, and painfully absent when the time arrived for paying his subscription—a thing he was never known to do. "A Booster," he said. Selfishness is a thing that infects too many of us. Of course, it some times is not so great as at other times. In cases not so thoroughly dewife, my son John and his wife; but we four and no more;" but how often we find one man who wants even these and all others to "bow down to Haman." That there is a great need of helpful co-operation among capable and successful men is true. To remedy the case we would suggest a prayer-meeting where all concerned could freely and fully discuss the terms upon which such a condition can be best taken care of. Very Respectfully.

Commenting upon the singing of the songs in our Folk Songs No.1. DR. HENRY E. KREBBIEL, "Dean of American Critics" says:~ "A concert-goer might live a lifetime and never hear such beautiful homogeneity of tone as that which they produce, nor such euphony, perfection of unance and precision. Save for its vital human quality, which lifts it above all musical products, this harmony sounds like that of a well-tuned organ." This recognition puts the Folk Songs side by side with the world's greatest musical achievements. This music is suitable for the parlor, the school, the church. SEND 25c. FOR SAMPLE COPY.

(Continued from Page 1.) in 1858, Lincoln first revealed to the nation in his great debate with Senator Douglas the full scope and originality of his genius. The republic had reached a crisis. The conflict between Liberty and Slavery could no longer be delayed. The day of compromise had passed. Standing above the contending hosts, above the prejudices and blind sentimentalities of the time, Lincoln uttered these prophetic words: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this country cannot permanently endure half slave and half free. I do not expect the union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all the one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it further until it becomes lawful in all the states, old as well as new. North as well as South." Defeated for the Senate in 1858, Lincoln gathered around his standard the great hosts of the Republican party and was ushered into the Presidency in 1861. Then came the crisis of secession and war. Called to assume a greater task than that of Washington, he came to the presidency under such a burden of care and responsibility as had not fallen to the lot of any ruler of modern times. On the occasion of his inauguration Lincoln delivered a carefully prepared address, declaring his fixed purpose to uphold the constitution, enforce the laws and preserve the integrity of the Union. Like a father pleading with his wayward children, with the deepest feeling and loftiest patriotism, he addresses himself to the hearts of the Southern people in these touching, these pathetic words: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriotic grave to every loving heart and heartstone will swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." It is but repeating history to state that the rebellion was organized and fought upon the idea of founding a confederacy upon the corner-stone of slavery. Lincoln had always hated slavery, yet he felt the obligations and duties of his position. Hating slavery, pitying the master as the war progressed he proposed scheme after scheme of emancipation and colonization. The South would not hear. Feeling that the time had come to put an end to slavery, this "man of sorrows" on the 22nd day of September, 1862, that glorious date in the history of the Republic, issued the Emancipation Proclamation to take effect, under certain conditions, on January 1st, 1863. From this date the cause of Lincoln and the republic became sacred. Grander than the Grecian phalanx, nobler than the Roman eagles, the soldiers of the Republic, on hard-fought battlefields, poured out their life-blood that the nation might "have a new birth of freedom and that the government of the people, for the people, by the people, should not perish from the earth." The South was beaten, four millions of slaves liberated and the Republic was free. Lincoln's work was done. He stood the foremost man in all the world—his name written high on the scroll of fame. What he did was worth living for, worth dying for. Wanting nothing to complete the grandeur of his life, the hand of crime snatched it from him in the full triumph of his cause. Yet he still lives! His work still lives and will endure with the history of this Republic, and his fame will rest secure with the countless free-born descendants of four millions of slaves who, holding his memory in precious reverence, will sing anthems of praise to his name forever. An important announcement was made just before the close of the meeting by J. C. Napier on the importance of taking the United States Census for 1910. He particularly urged the co-operation of the members of the race in assisting the enumerators in getting correct data. EMANCIPATION DAY AT FISK Students Celebrate the Occasion With Programme of Addresses and Good Music. Emancipation Day was observed by the students of Fisk University last Saturday night. The exercises were held in the Memorial Chapel. The principal address was delivered by Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and a speaker 图 of international prominence, who, assuming that the historical events of the emancipation of the slaves were already known, directed the thought in his address to looking into the future. He argued the question whether or not the new American is as valuable as a free man as when he was a chattel. He said that there was a time when it was argued by some that this country would become Africanized by the rapid increase of his people, but the relative increase is not half that of the Caucasian, he said. Again it was said that the Negro would not work without a master, but the statistics, said Prof. Kealing, show that 62 per cent of the Negroes are wage-earners. Again the argument was advanced that Negroes could not learn the higher branches, and he pointed to the records of Harvard, Yale, Hopkins, Howard, Fisk and other colleges, which, he said, would disprove this theory. Whether the Negro can reach the status of a full American citizen does not depend upon the opposition which confronts him, but by equality of individualism, was the opinion of the speaker. The man who complains of his life being a failure because of certain circumstances would fail under any circumstances, he thought, and will power, he said is the great weakness of man, and systematic exercise in strengthening the will against wrong was needed. An essay on "The Negro in Fine Arts," by Miss Beatrice D. Walker, was full of instructive thought. She lauded the Negro genluses and said that Negroes should honor highly the Negro sculptor, painter, poet and musician, and that by manifesting greater interest in them and their efforts they would be inspired to greater achievement. The following programme was carried out at the exercises: Song, "America;" invocation, Rev. Geo. W. Moore, D. D.; piano solo, selected, Miss Pattie LeQue; introductory remarks, Chairman; reading o fthe Emancipation Proclamation, Miss Hattie Tucker; essay, "The Negro in Fine Arts," Miss Beatrice D. Walker; oration, "Significance of the Emancipation Proclamation," Homer Cooper; solo, "Beloved, It Is Morn," Roland Hayes; address, Prof. H. T. Kealing; song, Coronation Hymn; felicitations; benediction. In the afternoon in the Memorial Chapel, Raymond August Lawson, pianist, gave a recital that was of an exceedingly high order and showed that he was a superior artist in his line. Prof. Lawson is a graduate of Fisk University, class '96, and of the Hartford Conservatory of Music. This was his second and last engagement at the university before returning to Connecticut, and his appearance was regarded by all who had heard him as the crowning event of a series of high-class musical entertainments of the year.

MEHARRY NOTES. On last Saturday, January 1, 1910, the Emancipation exercises were celebrated at the Mehairy Auditorium with signal success. Without a single break the programme was carried out with credit to its participants. After the prelude by the orchestra, the Rev. Dr. J. A. Kumler invoked the blessing of God. The University orchestra in "Knight Servant" stirred the audience, who were then prepared to enjoy the beautiful programme. Mr. Luther E. Vincent, of the College of Liberal Arts, master of ceremonies, fittingly outlined the necessity of such occasions throughout the country wherever a Negro may be found. The reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Miss Daisy Patterson, of the Normal Department, was rendered with care and accuracy. Too much cannot be said with reference to the lady's articulation. Mr. W. H. Allison, of the Pharmaceutical Department, was next in order whose subject "Perseverance" was liberally discussed. "Columbia's Natal Day" by the young men's glee club of Walden University was delightfully rendered. The beautiful and classical subject, "Education and what it has done for the race" was scientifically discussed by Miss Arzelia Ellis, of the Normal Department. The distinctiveness with which she expressed her thoughts won for her wide admiration. Mr. L. W. Hampton, of the Dental Department, was the next speaker who, with the subject "The end not yet," moved the fibres of his audience. Mr. Hampton is at home on the stage and takes pleasure in demonstrating this when opportunity arises. Mr. I. B. Scott Jr., of Wesleyn University, Ohio, rendered a violin solo of Mylmarski's Creation. Mr. Dewitt C. Huntingdon, of the Law Department, in a master; THE DELMONICO RESTAURANT THE DELMONICO RESTAURANT First-class Meals served at all hours on European and American Style.

He may rightly be styled "the orator." Miss Maud J. Roberts, of the faculty of Walden University, in the spirit of a "Miriam" rendered "Sampson and Delliah." Miss Roberts is a wonderful singer and a power in the musical world. The Medical Department was represented by Mr. W. H. G. Clark, whose subject was "Abraham Lincoln." This subject being so popular and interesting gave inspiration to all to listen to it. Mr. Clark was master of the situation and acquitted himself admirably. The last speaker was Mr. E. W. E. Alexander, of the College of Liberal Arts. His subject "Human rights" was forcefully delivered. His plain and distinct articulation and his pathetic subject appealed to all. After this the Meharry Quartette broke all the previous records. Their voices blended in a manner seemingly peculiar to the occasion. The Y. M. C. A. was addressed by Rev. P. Y. Pendleton, of Vine Street Christian Church, on Sunday last. The unifying of all races in Christ was very markedly brought out by Dr. Pendleton. On Thursday evening of last week the Right Rev. I. B. Scott, of the M. E. Church, addressed the members and friends of the Hubbard Hospital Association. Bishop Scott, in his usual eloquent manner, thundered out the condition of the African medical man and the prevalent diseases in the dark continent. The following subscriptions were recently entered upon the books: Dr. H. H. Phipps, Hot (Springs, Ark., $5; Dr. H. W. Suggs, Little Rock, Ark., $10; Miss Zenobia Hampton, of Fort Smith, Ark., $5; Dr. P. T. Williams of Greenville, Miss., $10; Dr. H. J. Wilson, of Cordele, Ga., $10. Among the visitors at Meharry during the holidays were Miss Leanna L. Cardwell, of Charlotte, N. C.; Dr. J. H. Williams, class '02 of Des Moines, Ia.; Dr. J. H. C. Lucas, '05, of Clearview, Okla.; Dr. G. Haven Moores, '09, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Dr. H. C. Gannaway, '02, of Decatur, Ill. We are glad to announce the marriage of Dr. Guy Luston, of class '08, to Miss Eunice Reeves, of Hutchison, Kansas. Dr. Allison is now located at Hutchison. The regular University sermon will be preached at the Meharry Auditorium at 11 o'clock a.m. next Sunday. The public is very cordially invited. M. B. S. I. L.

Pa., Black, Who Has Great Record for Knockouts. Boston, Mass., Jan. 1.—Big Tom Overby, a heavyweight Negro pugilist of Wilkesbarre, Pa., has received an offer from the matchmaker of the Armory Athletic association to meet Sam Langford in a twelve-round bout. Overby has been fighting for a year, has never been defeated, and won all of his fights by knockouts, the longest going only four rounds. He weighs 210 pounds and is six feet tall. Jack Johnson says he will not be prepared to fight Tommy Burns in Australia until next November. Johnson has received an offer from Hugh McIntosh, of Sydney, but turned it down. He wants $35,000 for his end, win, lose or draw. The Basketball season at Fisk University opens Saturday, January 8. The teams representing the four college classes have been practicing faithfully for some time, each determined to make a desperate struggle for the pennant. The games to be played between the Senior and Junior classes will no doubt be the most interesting and exciting. From their first year in the sport these two classes have always fought each other harder than any other classes, and the fact that this is the Seniors' last chance for a pennant signifies that they will be ready when the whistle is blown. The Juniors, on the other hand, are greedy and say they will get the pennant this year and next, too. All this makes enthusiasm. The Freshman class has the strongest "crab" team that has graced the floor in a good while and it is expected that before the season is closed they will make the Sophomores at least jump high. The following schedule has been arranged for the season. All the sport loving people of the city are invited to witness some clean basketball games. Jan. 8, Juniors vs. Seniors; Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Jan. 15, Juniors vs. Freshmen; Seniors vs. Sophomores. Jan. 22, Juniors vs. Sophomores; Seniors vs. Freshmen. Jan. 29, Freshmen vs. Sophomores; Juniors vs. Seniors. Feb. 5, Seniors vs. Sophmores; Juniors vs. Freshmen. Feb. 12, Seniors vs. Freshmen; Juniors vs. Sophmores. WEDDINGS. * * * Sanders-Neames. Word has just reached Nashville that on December 23, 1909, Mr. Robert O. Sanders, a senior in the Dental Department of Meharry Medical College, and Miss Sarah E. Neames, of the class 1910 Southern University, were married in the city of New Orleans. Mr. Sanders' friends in Nashville will congratulate him upon this embarking on the matrimonial sea. Special mention was made of the fact in Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School on last Sunday morning. Mr Sanders is a teacher of class No. 6 in that school. Burns-Randolph. Mr. John Burns and Miss Lucile Randolph were quietly married at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Dancer, of 604 Cleveland street, Sunday night. December 26. The bride was beautifully dressed in a cream silk gown and carried a bunch of white roses. After the ceremony an ice-course was served in the dining-room, where a color-scheme of pink and white was carried out. Mr. and Mrs. James L. Hunter, of 1309 Hynes street, Nashville, Tenn., announce the approaching marriage of their daughter, Miss Daisy Hunter, to Mr. Spencer C. Dickerson, M. D., of Chicago, Ill. The wedding is to be very quiet, only members of the family and close friends will be present. The ceremony will be performed on January 12, 1910 in the city of Chicago, Ill., where the bride-to-be is, and has been for the past three years. Miss Hunter is a graduate nurse from Provident Hospital, while the groom-to-be is a practicing physician of Chicago. Dr. Dickerson at one time was a teacher of science in the old Roger-Williams University. The parents and three brothers are to attend the wedding. Dr. and Mrs. Dickerson will be at home after January 12 at 338 Vincent avenue, Chicago. Miss Hunter has a host of friends here who will congratulate her upon her coming wedding. She is a sister of Miss Mynnie Mai Hunter, Dr. Cheatham Hunter, and Messrs. Jas and William Hunter. EVENING RECEPTION. Mrs. Hattie Wilson gave an evening reception Monday in honor of Mrs. Clark, of Snow Hill, Ala. Music, games and other pleasant diversions were enjoyed until a late hour, when an elaborate menu was served. Among the guests were Mesdames Clark, Overton, Reid, Misses Glascoe, Thompson, Henderson, Drs. Peters, Martin, Granberry, Butler, Gordon, King, Johnson, Pickens and Lashore. DRIVERS' MUTUAL AID ASSOCIA TION The Drivers' Mutual Aid Association held a public installation in the Boyd Building last Monday night and a large number of invited guests were present to see the new officers installed as well as to partake of the hospitality of the Drivers' in the form of an enjoyable reception and banquet following the installation service. Mr. S. J. Chandler was master of ceremonies and installed the following officers: W. C. Foster, President; Stephen Sisney, Vice President; William Bramlette, Financial Secretary; M. F. Douglas, Recording Secretary; W. B. Martin, Assistant Secretary; A. J. Frazier, Treasurer; J. C. McCayle, Chaplain; R. M. McFall, Chief Marshal and James Rogers, Sentinel. The Board of Directors are: A. Womack, Isaac Body, Rufus Flemming, H. T. Green and Adam Scales. The new President, W. C. Foster, was presented with a handsome bouquet of flowers upon his assuming the President's chair, by the Ladies Auxiliary Department of the Drivers' Mutual Aid Association and responded in a short address well fitted to the occasion expressing his appreciation to all, and the retiring President E. E. Gibson, was presented with a pair of gold cuff buttons, the gift of the members of the Drivers' themselves, as an evidence of their esteem held for him and he, likewise replied in an appropriate speech thanking the members. The Drivers' Mutual Aid Association has been organized some ten years and has since been of great benefit to its members, relieving the sick and distressed among them. At present the Association has more than $800 in the treasury, besides owning real estate to the value of more than one thousand dollars. A fact which shows the great interest the new President has for the Drivers' Association is, it is said that Mr. Foster has missed only three meetings of the Association in ten years, a record which can hardly be equalled by members of any similar organization. In his speech to the audience Monday night, Mr. Foster claimed another distinction which none of his predecessors had enjoyed, that of being a grandfather, which statement amused the audience no little. He closed his remarks by saying that when young William Foster Darden is old enough, he too, would be a strong and faithful member of the Drivers' Mutual Aid Association. NASHVILLE TALENT REPRE- SENTED. What was no doubt the most entertaining cantata rendered during the holiday season at the celebrated Tuskegee Institute where hundreds of students from all over the country are in attendance was "The Sheperd King." It will be pleasing to the Nashville people to learn that this play was under the direction of Mrs. Jennie Cheatham Lee, who is the musical instructor at Tuskegee. There were other Nashville people taking an active part who were very prominent in the rendition of this beautiful cantata. Miss Winter, also a member of the faculty connected with the musical department of Tuskegee, presided at the piano. The following are some of those from other cities who contributed to the success of the play: Mr. N. Clark Smith, Assistant Manager, in charge of the orchestra, Miss Emily Moore presiding at the organ, Misses Bailey and Norris, contralto soloists; Miss Runyon, soprano soloist. The Tuskegee Student says, "The young men in the electric building had suspended in the nave of the choir loft a resplendant electric star."

Quite a number of visitors were present at dinner. After the repast the remainder of the day was spent as a holiday.—From The Nashville Globe. LOYALTY TO THE LEADER. In behalf of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board, I am taking this opportunity of extending to Dr. R. H. Boyd our appreciation, heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the generous and hospitable way in which he entertains us every New Year's Day. The coming together of both the employer and the employee in a social way means more than a notion to al concerned. Glad hearts, bright faces meet upon one common level, and the enjoyment gotten therefrom is indescriable; the thought of the occasion is deep and the feeling is beyond realization. We shall never be able, Dr. Boyd, to express to you the exact depth of our appreciation. For we know that nothing (other than a heart that is boundless and a sympathy that is unfathomed could have fostered the idea of so unique a social, and you shall ever live in our memories. From your remarks on the eve of the last occasion we gather the thought that you desire our sympathy and our co-operation. We promise it to the fullest extent. Whatever battle in life it shall be yours to fight, we shall do all that is in our power to help you win the victory. We know that no man can successfully accomplish any purpose without the aid and assistance of those by his side. The work of the institution which you represent shall be no Balaclava of blunder on our part. Through interest and prayer we shall do all that is ours to do, "gingered up," as Gough says, "with a Wellington-Waterloo determination that knows no defeat." We shall fight with you till the last foe falls or we shall fall facing the last foe. Again we wish to thank you. For all that you have done, for all that you may do. We earnestly believe that in the establishment of this institution you have "led us by the still waters and fed us in the green pastures." By it you have conquered the Gauls of envy, prejudice and racial differences. Then "let the Alps sink, for they are no longer needed." Let the clouds lower. For we realize, every one of us, that the cares of life, crosses and disappointments, pierce us with their thorns in order that we may be better within, and that we may appreciate that part of our journey that is pleasant and happy. Professional position without opposition; to strive for the necessities of life without anxiety are all impossibilities. The melody of human nature must be brought forth by the discipline of trials. We are told that the glowworm glistens best in the dark; that the juniper smells sweetest in the fire. Such then must be the condition of man. His temptations make him the more triumphant. The greater his conflict the greater his conquests. We realize that with you this is a time of war. God has selected you for this hazardous affair, to lead this vast army of people. He looked over the men of earth for one who would not flinch at danger but go bravely through whatever would be allotted to him. This man he found in you. With you we have climbed the mountain of faith, and from its summit we are looking down into the plain of hope; and through the mist we see the light gleaming "amid th' encircling gloom," and we are praying to God to give you long life, health and strength to lead us on to even higher and better things.—Miss L. U. Chamers, in The National Baptist Review. PRAISES GLOBE. Dear Editor of the Globe—I reside at Frankfort, Ky., and want to say to you that the Globe is the best colored paper I have ever seen. I hardly get chance to read mine when it reaches me because everybody wants to read it. The people here praise the Globe to the highest. I read my copy over several times and each time it seems newer. SAM ROLAND. NOTICE Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 29, 1909.
