THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. THE JUNIOR NEGRO BANK MAKES VERY GOOD SHOWING. Another Permanent Asset To Nashville. PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS HOLD FIRST ANNUAL MEETING—PRESIDENT MAKES INTERESTING TALK ON THE SUCCESS OF THE INSTITUTION REPORT OF CASHIER ROUNDLY APPLAUDED—SHOWED A CLEARANCE OF $175,670.85—STOCKHOLDERS GROW OPTIMISTIC IN THEIR EXPRESSIONS—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. The first annual meeting of the People's Saving Bank and Trust Company was held in the rooms of the bank building Monday night, Jan. 17, 1910. The meeting was called to order by Dr. R. F. Boyd, the president, of the bank. Rev. W. S. Ellington led in prayer. The president then in an impromptu speech told of the workings of the bank. He congratulated the stockholders on being present and urged every one to feel free to enter into the business of the meeting. It was shown by the speaker that during the five months of its existence, the bank had made an enviable record. This bank started just a short time before a bank failure happened in Nashville, and following in close succession were several failures in other cities. "but," said the speaker, "we had the people's when they came for it. but like the old German, when they found that we had it they were satisfied to let us keep it" Another statement made by Dr. Boyd, and one that pleased the stockholders was the announcement that absolute harmony existed between the officials of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company and those of the One-Cent Savings Bank. The minutes of the last stockholders' meeting were read and approved. Mr. T. G. Ewing, cashier, read his report as follows. Gentlemen, Members of the Board of Directors and Stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company: I beg leave to report to you the following as the result of the business of the bank for its five months' existence: We opened the doors of the bank on July 31, 1909, at 9 o'clock a. m. We have held the same open since that time from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m. for about a month and a half. But it was found that the work of the bank was very heavy, owing to the fact that our depositors were very numerous and the amount of each was very small, and therefore a great deal of work was entailed upon the teller and cashier. On account of which, we were compelled to work to a late hour at night. So it was decided that the bank would open at 9 a. m. and close at 3 p. m., and we are now carrying out the decision of opening at 9 a. m. and closing at 3 p. m., each day in the week, except on Saturday, for on that day we open at 9 a. m. and close at 3 p. m., but after remaining closed until 5 p. m. we open again at that hour and remain open until 7 p. m., for the purpose of accommodating the laboring class of people who get their pay late.

Positions for Young Men And Young Women YOU CAN MAKE FROM $3.00 TO 5.00 PER DAY—CENSUS OF NEGROES TO BE TAKEN BY NEGROES—MUST MAKE APPLICATION BY JANUARY 31—UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WANTS TO KNOW THE FACTS—MR. HARRY A. LUCK DISTRICT SUPERVISOR—OFFICE IN VANDERBILT BUILDING—NO "JIMCROWISM" OF THE GOVERNMENT. All men and women of the race who would like to earn a good salary for ten or twenty days should prepare themselves to take the examination as Census Enumerators. The Director General of Census has decided that he is going to appoint Nego enumerators in the South, and of course, Tennessee, and especially Nashville, will be greatly benefited by this decision. Every young man and young woman who can successfully pass this easy examination, may expect an appointment. They should apply to Mr. Harry A. Luck, who has an office in the Vanderbilt Building, Fourth avenue, North, better known as North Cherry street, for instructions as to where to get their examination papers. There are at least one hundred competent Negroes in Nashville who could assist in taking the Census for this the Sixth District, if they will bestir themselves and take this examination. It is plainly evident that the United States Government wants facts. There is no "Jim Crowism" of the government, because the government is the people, while it may be apparent from time to time that such is the case, when the matter is closely pressed it develops that nothing but a fair deal is the policy of the government. The leading men of the race are now advocating that Negroes prepare themselves, take the examination and place themselves on the eligible list, thereby leaving no excuse for the Supervisors to give proper recognition to the race, and carry out the mandates of the Census Bureau. Application blanks for this examination can be had at the supervisor's office. The limit for filling applications has been extended to January 31. Washington, D. C., Jan. 3.—United States Census Director Durand issued to-day a letter of instruction to supervisors of census throughout the country, approved by Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, defining the conditions relative to the employment of Negroes as census enumerators. They are directed to select Negroes, so far as competent ones are available, to count the Negroes in those enumeration districts in which two-fifths or more of the population consists of Negroes. He does not consider it desirable that in the South Negroes should enumerate white families and he informs the supervisors that it will be necessary in many enumeration districts to appoint both a white enumerator and a Negro enumerator. The Director's letter to the supervisors is as follows: "Sirs: "It is exceedingly important to the interests of the people of the United States and particularly to the people of the Southern States that the coming census should give complete and accurate information with regard to the Negro race. It is probable that the census will show approximately 10,000,000 of that race in the United States. In large districts in the South, Negroes constitute more than half of the population; in fact, in many of the enumeration districts established by the Census Bureau, they will constitute from 75 per cent to nearly 100 per cent of the population. Negroes can doubtless obtain the information required by the census from members of their own race more accurately than white enumerators. In various of the southern cities the Boards of Education regularly employ Negro enumerators to take the school census of the Negro population. This is true, for example, in Montgomery, Alabama, and in Savannah, Georgia. This practice shows that the white men of the South themselves recognize the desirability of employing Negroes to do work of this character among their own race. "You are, therefore, hereby directed to select Negroes as enumerators of the Negro population, so far as competent Negroes offer themselves for the position, in those enumeration districts in which a large proportion of the population, say two-fifths or more, consists of Negroes. "On the other hand, I do not consider it desirable that in the South Negroes appointed as enumerators should be authorized to enumerate white families. It is certain that in many, if not most, parts of the South Negro enumerators would not be able to obtain as accurate statistics regarding the white population as white enumerators could. It will, therefore, be necessary in many enumeration districts to appoint both a white enumerator and a colored enumerator in order that the entire population may be properly enumerated. "It is understood, of course, that all applicants for the position of enumerator, whether white or colored, should be subjected to any tests regarding their efficiency as may be prescribed, in order that only competent persons may be employed."

FRIENDS OF MERCY HOSPITAL INCREASING From the encouraging reports that have come, in various portions of the United States, a deal more interest is being manifested in the Hubbard Hospital than heretofore. It will be remembered that an organization which has for its purpose the establishment of a hospital will meet the requirements of Greater Nashville with its large literary and professional institutions of learning. Although the actual work on the hospital has not started, it is assured that it will be built. The name selected, Hubbard Hospital, is a guarantee in itself that ere long a commodious, well-fitted, well-built and completely-furnished, charitable institution that will serve the growing demands of the Meharry Medical College, that will accommodate the numerous physicians and surgeons in Nashville as well as the scores of patients being brought here from far and near, adding much to the importance of this city, will soon be in operation. At a recent meeting of the Hubbard Hospital Association the subscription list was swelled considerably. Friends, students of the various departments of Walden University, with a few business men from out of Nashville, are said to have sent in healthy subscriptions. There is no great amount of noise being made by those interested in the hospital, and yet it can be safely predicted that the interest already aroused is not waning. The plan to hold several large mass-meetings is meeting the hearty and general approval of the promoters. While they have not asked for public contributions the subscription books have never been closed. The alumni associations of all the departments of Walden, especially the Meharry Alumni, have planned such a campaign for 1910 as will bring in a few thousand dollars. It was Dean Hubbard's recent trip to Texas that was so convincing of how the Meharryites, even in the Lone Star State, regarded this movement. And then the recent important clinics that were held in the city demonstrated the need of such a hospital that would be directly at the command of the medical profession. It would be surprising if the general public knew the number of dangerous cases that have been brought to Nashville and successfully operated on even with the disadvantages that must be overcome in many respects. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas and Kentucky have contributed a large number of these patients. No. 3. FROM WEST VERGINIA VISITS NASHVILLE. Sent Out by That State to Inspection Tour MEMBERS OF FACULTY OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL — MAKE CAREFUL INSPECTION OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS HERE AIM IS TO SEE WHAT WEST VIRGINIA LACKS IN NEGRO EDUCATION — PARTY GOING TO NORMAL A. & M. COLEGE, NORMAL, ALA. —TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE AND OTHER POINTS IN ALABAMA AND VICINITY—WILL RETURN BY KNOXVILLE. The educational advantages of the city of Nashville attract no small number of people throughout the various states, who have watched Nashville's educational growth for the past quarter of a century. They compare the advantages, location, the institutions and the people of this city with those of other cities that vie with it for supremacy along these lines. When it is taken into consideration that the denominations have their schools here, and with those that are to be located here in the near future, because of this fact, one is not surprised at the advantages enjoyed here. That other states, supporting state institutions, consider this the right and proper place for the location of the state school became more evident last week when a commission composed of three members of the faculty of the West Virginia A. & M. College, located at Institute, W. A., came to the city and looked carefully into the management of the educational facilities of Tennessee. The personnel of this commission consisted of Prof. Austin W. Curtis, M. S. Agr., in charge of the Agricultural Department; Charles E. Mitchell, Expert Accountant; and J. M. Canty, the Superintendent of Mechanical Industries. This commission of informed, cultured Negro educators left no stone unturned whereby information could had. Just what their findings will be is a matter yet to be determined. They were, however, somewhat surprised to find that Tennessee had no established agricultural college for Negroes. They stated to a Globe reporter that they were pleased to learn that the recent legislature had made an appropriation for a Negro Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College. The state of West Virginia sent this commission to the South with a view, it is said, of improving upon the school work being done by their state school, which is located just outside of Charleston. Prof. Chas. E. Mitchell has the distinction of being the only Negro in the world a member of the International Expert Accountants' Association. His connection with the commercial department of the school at West Virginia is regarded as one of importance. Each of these gentlemen came highly recommended, being well up in the fraternal affairs of the state. They were personal friends of the late Supreme Chancellor Starks. Aside from taking in the three universities, they saw the business side of Nashville, visiting, among other places, the two Negro banks, two Negro publishing establishments, and The Nashville Globe. They went from here to Tuskegee Institute to attend the conference. From Tuskegee they go to Atlanta and look after Georgia's manner of educating the Negro. From Atlanta they go to Knoxville to visit the Knoxville College to see for themselves what Tennessee is doing at what has been styled the branch of the University of Tennessee. This commission showed that they were well posted and knew the laws governing the educational department of some of the leading states of the Union. Mrs. Cassie Greer, of Waverly, who is at Mercy Hospital, is slowly improving. UI ea A Religious Weekly Journal Of Special Interest to Pastors and Super- intendents, Fills a Long-felt Want.

The Relief Club met in their reg- ular monthly meeting, January 7, 1910, at 3:30 p, m, at the residence of Mrs. Blanche Smith, Stevens street. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, only a few were present. After the opening of the meeting all the members greeted the new year with happinsss that none had depart- ed this life during the year 1909. The annual report was read by the Secre- tary, Which was greatly encouraging to all. The club extended the hand of benevolence to seven persons that have paid the debt we all must pay.

Cummings and Mrs. Maie Gwynn on the evening of Decem- ber 29, 1909, at half-past eight o'clock at the residence of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Annie Brown, 1117 Clinton street. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion in Christ- mas bells and cut flowers in white and pink carnations. A huge white wedding bell extending from the ceiling marked the place of the cer- emony. Rev. T. W. Johnston, of Clark Memorial Church, officiated. There were no attendants. The bride and groom entered alone, as the or- chestra from the adjoining room played the beautiful wedding march. The bride wore a lovely tailored gown of grey cloth, elaborately trimmed with soutash braid, and a white all-over-lace waist, with a black fur hat. She carried bride's roses and lilies of the valley. After the ceremony an ice-course was served, wherein the color scheme, pink and white, was carried out, Mrs. Brown was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Scott Webb and Mrs. Elma Miller. Many valuable presents were re: ceived, including silver and cut glass. Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. Amanda Cum. temings, mother of the groom, and Mrs. Logan Gwynn, of McMinnville, the bride's mother. Mrs. Gwynn wore black satin with touches of white and Mrs, Cummings was costumed ir black lace over silk. After the cere mony, Mr. and Mrs, Cummings left for their new home which had beer furnished for them at 1900 Hermose street, TWO BIG RECITALS, Very often it occurs that the several universities in the city prepare and pull off important entertainments on the same night. But seldom do they draw visiting talent and get the dates incidentally on the same night. Yet this was true last Friday evening when Miss Horn, of Boston, Mass. gave a reading at the Fisk Memorial Chapel, and Mr. Harrison, of Philadel phia, gave a similar entertainment at Walden University. But these tw schools are so far apart, being lo cated, one in the northern and the oth er in the southern end of the city, that one can never feel the effect of the entertainment at the other school in point of attendance. Both recitals on Jast Friday night proved to be of the very bighest class. Large crowds at: tended each, notwithstanding the very cold weather and the attempt at showers. pee DARK DOLLS ONLY FOR BLACK BABES. Church Congregation Puts Ban on White Faces and Light Hair ‘on Gin ‘Teva. ASPSCALD 2 ROIS? Wilmington, Del. Jan, 13.—A de- cision just posted in St. James Church (co‘ored), puts the ban on white dolls so far as this congrega- tion is concerned, and there is a gen- eral resort to stove polish and lamp black among the toy dealers with a hold-over stock of Christmas dolls. The decision was not reached light ly. All phases of the question, eth- nological and theological, were con sidered in heated debate before the pink and white simulations of baby- hood were barred from the houses of al Iself-respecting colored families. The debate took place last night, the question being, “Resolved, That colored mothers purchase colored dolls for their lit tle children.” ‘The affirmative was maintained by the Rev. R. T. Pennington, of Clifton Mills, and George W. Benson, of this city, who endeavored vainly to up hold the superior attractions of the bleached-out playthings. But all to no purpose. Wher “Brother” Pennington boldly ad. vanced the idea that the divine pan contemplated no bleaching process for the colored man preparatory to the resurrection, and consequently the Negro child should not run counter to the Creator's scheme and fondle white dolls, the judges gave a halting verdict in his favor by a score of 5 to 4. Following this, the congregation voted to uphold the decision and all pledged themselves to see that their children saved all their budding af fections for dolls of their own ebon, or chocolate, or cafe au lait hue— From The New York Globe. DR. PIUS IN COLORADO. For the next four weeks or more Dr. N. H. Pius, Superintendent of the Teacher-Training Service of the National Batist Publishing Board, will be out in Colorado, where he has been invited to come and teach the Western people the new Sunday- school methods. It is learned that large classes have been formed and that the entire state of Colorado is in hearty co-operation with the ef- forts being put forth by their publish- ing plant to enlighten the teaching force of the Sunday-school. Then, too, the recent announcement by the International Sunday-School Commit- tee that it would recognize and en- dorse the Teacher-Training Course of the National Baptist Publishing Board adds much much more interest to the work. Dr, Pius now bears the dis- tinction of being the only Negro Su- perintendent of the Teacher-Training Course in the United States, and the National Baptist Publishing Board is the only concern in the world that has a distinct and separate course of its own that is recognized by the Inter. national Committee. The demands are being made from every section of the country now, and each mail brings the information of the organization of new classes. Books, ete. for the three courses, according to advices from the Publishing Board, are being sent out dail. WHERE IS A. T. TUCKER? About three years ago a gentleman by the name of A. T. Tucker sent to Dr. R. H, Boyd, the President of the One-Cent Savings Bank of this city, and purchased some stock in said bank. Since then efforts to reach this Mr. A. T. Tucker have been futile. He has not received his dividend which has been declared each year. Any one knowing the office address of Mr, A. T, Tucker will please send it marked “Personal” to R. H. Boyd, President of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nash- vil'e, Tenn,, as he should get. his diy- idend check for the years 1908 and 1909. peter atta MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Chyreh is progressing nicely under their new pastor, Rev. B. F. Ferrell, who is one among the leading ministers of the South. Not only Mt. Zion is proud of him, but the Nashville ministers are proud to have such a noble man in their midst. We are also glad to report that his wife, Mrs. Mattie Ferrell, is up again, after a serious illness, We thank God and Dr. Bandy for her recovery. Rey. Ferrell was a little indisposed himself, but like a hero was found at his post Sunday morning, The subject of his morning lesson was “Get your house in order.” His dis: course was very interesting. Sunday afternoon he was invited to preach an ordination sermon at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, which was enjoyed by all who heard him. At 6 p. m he was again found al his post in the young people's meet MILARY E. HOWSE. PHONE, M/ In 1008 HOWSE BROS.

A well-known novelist who withholds his name, tells a most interesting and valuable story in the February McClure's of his experience as a moderate drinker. Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, who recently told the readers of McClures how psychology could be applied to commerce with beneficial results, tells how it could and should be utilized by young America in the chosing of a career; Xavier Paoll, "the Guardian of Kings." writes delightfully of the courtship of King Alphonso and Princess Ena; W. H. Riding contributes another chapter of his reminiscences of noted writers; L. S. Brownnell tells of the great work Canada is doing for her farmers, and Percival Gibbon describes Louis Brennan's latest experiments with his mono-rail car.

The Christian Workers' Foreign Missionary Society will hold their regular monthly meeting Monday night, Jan. 24, at which time reports of Christmas offering to the work will be made. We want to thank our many friends who have already responded to our appeal and those who will do so. Miss Burnett, who has been suffering from an attack of la gripppe, is convalescing slowly. Thursday, January 13, quite a number of friends gathered at the Home as a surprise to Miss S. E. Moore in the celebration of her birthday. Miss Moore knew nothing of it until the guests were in the house and had been for some time. At first she was almost overcome by surprise, she was soon composed, however, and was delightful with the affair. A delightful evening was spent and the hours sped all too swiftly.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 21. 1910. OUR BANKS Last Monday night and on the second Monday night of this month the annual meetings of the stockholders of the two banks operated in this city by Negroes were held. The older one of these institutions has been doing business seven years, while the other has only been in operation a little more than five months; in fact, the report as rendered covers a period of exactly that time. Both banks made a splendid showing, the aggregate business of the two amounting close to a million dollars. All of this money, for the most part, was the earnings of the Negroes of Nashville, and this too with hundreds of thousands of dollars being deposited by many of our most successful business and professional men in banks owned and conducted by the white people. The showing made by these banks has not come without persistent effort on the part of the officials. Many things had to be overcome. Negroes are great race lovers until it comes to business matters, then he brings his brother down to this cold, double proposition: "Can you give me better service than the white man and can you make me a cheaper price?" If the Negro business man can guarantee to do these two things he can rest assured that he will get the little end of his brother's patronage; but in most cases it is hard for him to do it and therefore must adopt some other method to convince the members of the Negro race that it will be to the interest of all to have strong enterprises owned and operated by members of the race. We are gradually learning the wisdom in concentration. We are reaching the point where we can separate our social and business life to that extent necessary to bring success to us in commercial affairs. Slowly but surely the Negroes of this city and of the country at large are reaching the conclusion that a black man will come nearer giving a square deal to a black man than will those of any other race. They are learning that the word confidence means that a trustee must be able to give security as a guarantee that he will be true to his trust. The banking business is so conducted that such institutions can do more to establish confidence than any other branch of business. The people of this city should congratulate themselves upon being able THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1910. to find in their midst men competent to run two banks. Each individual ought to feel a personal responsibility for the success of these banks. The best way to convince the public that you are interested in the Negro banks is to do your business with them. It was not a surprise to those in a position to know, when an official of one of the banks declared that his business had come from the wage-earners and but that for them his bank could not have succeeded. This does not sound well for our business and professional men. They, of all, ought to know that the banks conducted by men of their own race are just as safe as any others, regardless of their character or the amount of money they have. We want to see the day come when every Negro in Nashville will say he could put his money in a Negro bank and feel that it would be safe. This can not be done all at once, but by constantly proving to the people that our banks are conducted upon sound business principals they will ultimately accept it as a truth. We congratulate both banks on the splendid reports they made to the stockholders, and hope that this year will bring them greater success. BACK TO THE FARM Every day the information comes to us that the cost of foodstuffs is advancing. The matter has reached the point where the most conservative are becoming disturbed. It cannot be said that prices are high because of a scarcity. Our crops last year were good, and we are in the height of prosperity, but nevertheless the people are having a hard time to make ends meet. A plea has been set up for an adjustment of prices or an increase in wages. To do either will require time and in many cases a stubborn fight would be put up to prevent any change either in the prices charged for food or the price paid for labor. Negroes in this Southland can secure themselves against much of the suffering the working people are undergoing if they will give more attention to farming and to raising stock and poultry. The man who has the food to sell is always the master of the situation. We should harken to bugle call and about face and trace our steps back to the farm. THE MAYOR'S POSITION. Mayor Howse is rapidly convincing the people of Nashville that he is interested in the welfare of the municipality. His declaration to the commission while sitting in the cases brought before that body by the city boiler inspector, which appears in another column, has the ring of good business judgment. It is an easy matter for one man to go from place to place and order owners of property to change this or that. It does not cost the one giving orders anything, but it is often liable to cost hundreds of women and children their daily bread. Men who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in enterprises will not stand to be continually harrassed with unreasonable demands. They will either close up their business or move to some other city, where the regulations are more in keeping with common sense. The press would have us believe that when Roosevelt reaches the United States in June there will be a hot time in the White House. Maybe Mr. Taft will give Teddy a broad smile, and if he does, Teddy could not afford to not be as courteous. And then Mr. Pinchot will be forgotten while toasts are said to the health of an African Chief. The old citizens of Nashville are rapidly passing from active life and into the world unknown to man. It is a signal to the young to take up where the old en are leaving off and to push on to higher altitudes. In the Mississippi senatorial contest Vardaman holds on like a leech. He cannot win, but the other fellows know why they are not elected. A few hours of sunshine these days are like a spring in a desert. We are glad to behold them and feel that we would relish them forever. EDITORIAL CLIPPING The Mouth Whether viewed from the standpoint of the anatomist or the physiologist, the pathologist or the hygienist, the dentist or the vocalist, the diplomat or the moralist, the artist or the lover, the grocer or the pugilist—from almost any viewpoint—the mouth is a very important organ and should receive the careful attention of the physician. Many a serious disease has been caused by germs harbored in the mouth. Proper oral hygiene may be the final arbiter between life and death in continued fevers. Habitual and regular cleansing of the mouth and throat with a simple alkaline wash on going to bed and on rising will not only preserve the teeth and sweeten the breath, but is a valuable propynylactic against respiratory diseases and a powerful adjuvant in the treatment of digestive disturbances and nasal catarrh. Dr. C. V. Roman, in Journal National Medical Association. That Dream. Socialism is sometimes referred to as a dream. It is a dream in which a nightmare has usurped the functions of reason; a nightmare which assures us, in the first place, that economic beatitude is the end of our existence, and prophesies that if we create a highly centralized Government, with absolute authority in matters temporal, we shall have a safe and secure supply of bread and meat and clothing and other means of personal and material satisfaction. That which appeals to our selfish propensities, our egotism, our class hatreds to establish a nation in which the passions that brought it into existence would be sloughed off; which arouses us to bring about a reign of happiness and virtue, by exciting one another to envy and jealousy of those who possess more than we do; to remedy injustice by bitterness and strife; which finally exhorts us to destroy within us those native instincts of independence, personal initiative and family ambition which have been the fundamental sources of progress for either individuals and as a race. The whole concrete movement called Socialism is an attempt to put the horse before the cart, to obtain an end without using the only means that will conduct to its realization. First get suitable citizens for a socialistic state, get men imbued with civic virtues, men who at least observe the Ten Commandments, and second great Commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," and then Socialism may have a chance of being safely established, but then nobody will want to establish it. A Fulfilled Need? We are informed that efforts are now making among experienced Negro hotel men of this city for a large and respectable colored hotel. Whether these efforts will remain nothing more than hope and prospects we can not say. With all other Negroes who appreciate the hotel situation for Negroes, not only in New York, but as well in Boston, Philadelphia and nearly every other large city we can hope that these efforts will materialize. Especially urgent is the need and especially good is the opportunity for a first-class colored hostelry in New York. If there should be established, let us say on Fifty-second street, convenient to all colored communities, to the railroad and railway facilities, and to the theatre and shopping districts, a clean and commodious hotel, such an establishment would be not only a service to the race, but should be highly profitable as well. A hardly realized large number of Negroes are constantly coming to and through New York. They are lost on their arrival for places of accommodation. There are a hundred thousand Negroes in Greater New York who do their shopping and attend the theatres who are likewise lost for places of first-class restaurant accommodations. The same conditions obtain in the other large cities. There is here both an opportunity and a service for men of experience and means. We sincerely trust that such men will rise to the occasion.—New York Age. And Then Some. There are, roughly speaking, three hundred and ninety-seven West Virginians of color who could be prevailed upon to accept the position of Assistant Register of the Treasury. And when you come to think of it, one of them ought to have the place. The sum.total of the Federal patronage which has come to the Negroes of this state is one consulship. A state possessing a Negro electorate about equal to the difference between the Republican and Democratic vote, deserves more consideration. So step up, gentlemen. The advocate is for the best man!—The Advocate. Perjury in Its Worst Phase. The disposition of white juries to accept on their face value the perjured testimony of witnesses who allege that they are turning state's evidence was never better exemplified than in the cases of Richard Pines, Calvin Johnson and Eugene Dorsey, who were to have been electrocuted for the alleged murder of Walter F. Schultz, of Chicago. Henry Smith now swears that his story was a base fabrication of the facts in the case. A white witness had previously established an alibi for these men, but upon the weight of this man, who was anxious to save himself, all three of them were sentenced to die in the electric chair and finally he was given the same fate. White people who interested themselves in the affair succeeded in having Governor Swanson reprieve the convicted men from time to time. Governor Swanson has further resisted them for sixty days, thus transmitting to his successor in office a legacy which he would have done well to have retained in his own keeping. This who'sale execution of colored men upon the slightest provocation where a white person is involved has become a stench in the nostrils of those Virginians who like justice and who abhor evil. This case is an object lesson and in the future white men would do well to remember it. Perjury is a common asset in this commonwealth and it is certainly time that the penal side of it is enforced.—Richmond Planet. TO HALT Compromises were the order of the day at the meeting of the City Building Commission yesterday afternoon. Philips & Buttorff, the Old Hickory Manufacturing Company, the Empire Laundry Company, were summoned to appear before the Commission upon complaint of M. M. Brien, Boiler and Elevator Inspector. The complaint against Phillips & Buttorff was dismissed upon notice that the required work had already been begun and would be completed within a few days. The Old Hickory Company was given sixty days in which to make required repairs, and were allowed to use ninety-five pounds of steam instead of 86.25 pounds, the limit placed upon it by Inspector Brien. The Empire Laundry Company was given two weeks in which to procure a report upon its boiler from an insurance inspector. While the Commission in the main overruled the reports of Mr. Brien, it was upon the theory advanced by the Mayor that too many restrictions and inspections were placed upon business men and that he wanted to encourage manufacturers instead of discouraging them. "We pass laws and laws," said he, "and try to legislate manufacturers and business men out of business. I want to do something to stop running them away from Nashville. I don't believe we have any right to go in and condemn a man's property. I don't believe you can do it according to law. I want to be as liberal and lenient as possible with business men." None of the boilers were condemned outright by Mr. Brien, but extensive repairs were ordered by him in each case, and when the time limit expired, he had the Building Commission, composed of the Mayor, Chief of Police, Fire Chief and Building Inspector, summoned to act upon the cases. Mr. Brien figured that it would be dangerous to submit the Old Hickory boiler to more than 86.25 pounds of pressure. The insurance inspector figured it at 100, and the Commission compromised at 95, on motion of Chief Curran. Mr. Brien pronounced the laundry boiler, which is the property of the Nashville Laundry Company and leased to the Empire Company with the option of purchase within a year, dangerous for use one day longe. Leon Wege stated that he had applied for insurance on the boiler, and expected the inspector right away. On motion of Chief Rozetta he was given two weeks in which to secure a report from the inspector. The discussion of this case grew quite heated, Mr. Wege insinuating that there was graft in the Building Inspector's office, and that ever since, repairs had been ordered by the inspector he had been besieged with contractors wanting to do the work. Both Mr. Laurent and Mr. Brien resented this, declaring that the records of the office were open to the public, under the law, and that, in this way, the contractors found what improvements were ordered. The Commission backed the officials up in this, and Mr. Wege declared that he was sorry he had said what he had. The business men of Nashville will endorse the stand taken by Mayor Howse, not that they do not believe that the strictest precaution should exercised in 'handling boilers, but they consider the demands of the inspector unreasonable. THE ONLY ORIGINAL FOLK SONGS TAKE FIRST RANK. 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 lits 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.

He was enthused over the Negro Doll Idea, and carried samples of Negro dolls away from Nashville with him to his Michigan home. He says that the Negro Doll Idea will be as popular and as much of a race argument in Michigan as it can ever expect to be in Nashville. TENNESSEE BAPTIST EXECUTIVE BOARD. A number of the Baptist ministers who are members of the Tennessee Baptist State Convention and on the executive board went to Memphis Wednesday night to take part in the executive board meeting, which was held in that city Thursday. No information as to what transpired in the meeting had reached Nashville by this morning, but a harmonious session with well-laid plans for the pushing of the educational work in the state seem to have been the program outlined. The tme is fast approaching for the annual meetings for 1910, and the calling of this board at Memphis, the scene of the last state convention, is taken for granted that an effort will be glad to bring up a large delegation from the western part of the state, where so many of our churches are located, as well as to bestir Middle Tennessee. Those who are expected to attend the meeting from Nashville were Revs. Wm. Haynes, E. M. Lawrence, C. H. Clark, Dr. A. M. Townsend and Prof. W. S. Thompson. The East Tennessee portion of the executive board was due to pass through Nashville, but just whether they arrived was not known as they were not seen on the streets. WELL PLEASED WITH SEATS. Nothing is more pleasing than to read a letter which says that a patron of the Publishing Board has been pleased. The following letter was received last week: "Selma, Ala., Jan. 10, 1910. Dr. R. H. Boyd, Nashville: Dear Sir:—It affords me no small amount of pleasure in writing you these few lines to let you know that I received the seats all O. K. and hope you will be pleased when you receive your remittance. The members are very much pleased with the seats. Dr. Boyd, I am going to set them up myself, as I am a carpenter by trade. We hope you a prosperous and happy New Year. "Yours very truly, "S. D. TURNER, 907 Small street." The new style church seats are generally shipped carefully created. Each part is numbered so that almost any carpenter can put up with little or no trouble. TWO THOUSAND VARIETIES OF FRUITS AND NUTS ON ONE FARM. In McClure's Magazine for February, I. S. Browne'll has an article on the Canadian syste of experimental farms founded by Dr. Saunders. "The director's object was to place each farm where it could be readily seen, readily visited, yet where it would be under no specially favoring circumstance, but would have to solve for itself the average problem of the region it was to serve. The Indian Head Problem is that of the open prairie. At the last farm, at Agassiz, British Columbia, the problem is that of fruit and nut tree growing in a mild c'imate, and two thousand kinds of fruits and nuts are now flourishing in its fertile valley land and mountain-side. "At the present time a number of small supplementary stations are being established. The most interesting of these is the "farthest north"—Fort Vermillion, on the Peace River, in northern Alberta, six hundred miles above the United States boundary. In the spring of 1907 the first lot of seeds, trees, and plants was sent there for experiment, via Edmonton, from the Central Farm. On the first of May, 'as there was no immediate prospect of the breaking up of the rivers'—the usual line of travel—these supplies were driven for seventeen days over four hundred miles, and ferried on a raft three hundred miles farther till they reached Fort Vermillion. By the first of June the seeds were in and the land was fenced. It cannot be said that the Experimental Farms are not squarely facing Canada's problems." GLOBE MANAGER HONORED "Mound Bayou, Miss., Jan. 13, 1910 "Dear Sir: "I am writing to advise that you have been elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Mound Bayou to succeed the late Mr. A. T. Broadwater. Yours truly "Mr. H. A. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn." The above is self-explanatory, and shows in what estimation Mr. Boyd is held by the officials of banks in other states. The young man is well known in Nashville and is considered among her most progressive citizens. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

Marion, Ala., although a small town is fortunate in having quite a number of thrifty, industrious and well-to-do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of mention are Messrs. S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus Mitchell, who are principally in the grocery business, carrying stock any where fro $500 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros, who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five or thirty years ago their father started the latter business, and the sons have continued it ever since, without any competition. They likewise run a truck patch, of two acres, from which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbage this fall, besides other garden products. Some of the other frugal and well-to-do farmers are Messrs. Edward Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Towns and Orange Benson, who manage from 100 to 150 acres yearly. H. B. Davis is the proprietor of a cafe for whites. It is very popular and well patronized. He has been in the business for over thirty years and has made money at it. John Williams is a brick manufacturer, having years of experience, by means of which he has prospered. Wm. Alston has been for over fourteen years instructor in the Mechanical Department of the Orphan Home for white children, located at Oxford, N. C. The Home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Masons of the state. The Legislature usually appropriates $10,000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 335 pupils of both sexes in the orphanage—125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make sash, doors, blinds, and build stairways. He is the only colored person employed there in such a capacity. More than once, efforts have been made to displace him for a white man; but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently refused to heed the entreaties of the petitioners, or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudiced. The Silk Manufacturing Company of Rocky Mount, N. C., incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,000, began business November 15, 1909. It is the only Negro manufacture in the world on so extensive a plan of operation. The work is done in a four-story wooden building with a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 150. On the first floor is the silk factory; the second and third, cotton; on the fourth, there is an evolution of the raw material into the finished products, such as overalls, jackets, aprons and the like. The operatives in this factory are two or three hundred boys and girls, whose ages range from ten to fifteen years, together with a goodly number of young women. The officers of the company are T. W. Thurston, president; O. J. Pittman, vice-president; C. F. Rich, secretary and attorney; S. M. Young, treasurer; F. W. Davis, president of the Board. The president and founder, T. W. Thurston, was once manager of silk mills now in successful operation at Fayetteville and Kinston, N. C., in which there are from 600 to 700 little colored boys and girls skillfully and carefully manipulating the delicate skins of silk, as they spin around the thousands of bobbins and pass over hundreds of looms. The owners of these mills are Northern men of New Jersey, but they are run entirely by colored help. The silk and cotton mill of Rocky Mount, however, is altogether owned and operated by Negroes. R. L. Kearney, of Greenville, N. C., is another member of the race who has demonstrated the fact that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless cobination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one. A cotton plow with double front points and shares or BANK DIRECTORY. There are thirty-seven Negro banks and institutions doing a banking business in the United States. They are owned and operated exclusively by Negroes and are scattered throughout the several states, principally in the South. The names, locations, and other information concerning some of them are given below. ONE-CENT SAVINGS BANK Incorporated Under the Laws of Tennessee. CAPITAL STOCK, $25,000.00.

If the friends of THE REVIEW and the departments of the Publishing work would take the time to drop a line to Dr. Boyd, encouraging him in the Herculean tasks that he seems to be so ably performing, no doubt it would add years to his useful life. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE The Heliotrope Circle was entertained by Mrs. W. P. Phillips, of 703 Sixth avenue, South, January 11, 1910. The ladies commenced to gather at 3:00 o'clock p. m. and the whole afternoon was spent in the making of roses under the direction of Mrs. J. H. Hale. At the close of the meeting there were many beautiful Marechal Niel roses. The hostess served a two-course menu after which the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. J. H. Kelly, 653 Bass street, January 25, 1910. --- DO Johnson's Popularity on Increase. The question of Jeffries' condition arouses as much interest now as did weeks ago. While Jeffries was in Chicago the first of the year he was examined by a physician. The latter gave an enthusiastic account of the fighter's general physical state. Among other things he said, however, was that he judged Jeffries weighed about 250 pounds. This weight is from twelve to twenty pounds more than the former champion has announced his weight to be at different times lately. But is we consider the physician capable of deciding many points in regard to Jeffries' condition we can probably take his opinion concerning the weight of the fighter. The examination of a pugilist by a physician is, of course, no new thing. The physician should be able to ascertain whether or not the fighter has a physique capable of withstanding the enormous strain of a long battle; he can also tell, no doubt, whether the fighter has good heart action, strong lungs, good stomach, and so on, but I do not believe that he can learn anything whatever which will be of value to them an who is at-attempting to figure out the chances that the fighter will have of defeating another man. The most curious ideas prevail in regard to Jeffries. Many persons who have read that the big pugilist may not be able to get back into the condition he formerly was in seem to believe that this statement means that Jeffries is a broken down man. Such an idea is, of course, ridiculous. Jeffries might be in most wonderful condition compared with the ordinary man, and yet not be in condition fit to make him the choice in a long fight. Any time these last five years when Jeffries was not in training there can be little question that he was in a physical condition far superior to that of the average man. At any time during this period a physician might have examined him and pronounced him a wonderful specimen of manhood and in better condition organically than any man he had ever seen. The trouble is, however, that the word condition as used by a physician and the same word as used by a trainer do not mean the same thing at all. A man with diabetes and a dash of incipient paresis would probably be declared to be in bad shape by a physician, yet at the same time the man might be in excellent condition from the trainer's standpoint. That Jeffries has a wonderful physique and will be in condition to put up a marvelous fight is admitted on all sides. Any one who is foolish enough to base his belief that Johnson will win on Jeffries' unfitness is mentally loose. But the question is, Can Johnson defeat Jeffries? and the inability of the latter—if such inability exists, to get into the condition he was able to attain when he retired from the ring would certainly better the Negro's chances. The reason Jeffries' condition has become the nub of the discussion about the fight is that there was a general impression before the match was made that if the Californian could get into anything like the shape he was in when he last fought, there would be nothing to it. It would be, "Good day, Mr. Johnsling, shall I help you to get up again?" However, as time has romped along the impression has grown that Jeffries will have a tough time in disposing of Johnson, no matter how good his condition is. Men who a couple of months ago would hardly give the Negro a chance are now disposed to look forward to the fight as one of the hardest battles that was ever fought. Fighters Fear Sam Langford. Even to those who have never seen Sam Langford in action, the attitude of other topnotch fighters toward him must make it evident that he is one of the most wonderful machines the Queensberry world has ever known. Most of the men at the top of the ladder work all the tricks of the trade to sidestep matches with him. Honest ones like Jim Barry frankly confess that they have no chance with him, while many others who scrape up enough courage to face him realize that they are committing pugilistic suicide. That proves the awe in which most fighters stand of Langford and his terrible punches. Best Athletes Flat-Footed—Many Ex amples Cited as Proof. The great majority of the best athletes produced in this country have been flat footed. This statement sounds ridiculous, says the World, but the best authority in the country, "Sparrow" Robertson, who has been making shoes for every one of the star performers from the period when Malcolm W. Ford competed up to the present time, says THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1910. that few athletes with well arched feet have become champions. "It is believed by the military authorities of Germany that men with flat feet cannot walk as well as those with high arched feet," remarked Robertson, as he pulled out a huge package of tracings made from the feet of several hundreds of athletes. "That is the reason the Germans have stuck to the 'goose step.' "The generally accepted theory has been that high arched insteps give more spring. Such is not the case. A long flat foot gives a longer leverage, and a man with such feet tires less raidily than one possessed of high arched feet. Champion With Shapeless Feet. "Hugh Baxter, holder of the vaulting record for many years, was another athlete with large flat feet. He was one of the hardest men to fit with spikes of all. The shoes made for him had almost no shape. During his whole career as a champion pole vaulter he was at no time bothered in any way with injuries or strains to either of his feet, and many considered that the great leverage he derived from his long feet was responsible to a considerable extent for his splendid performances. "Alexander Jordan, of the N. Y. A. C., winner of at least two all around championships, was flat footed. Shrubb, Svanberg, and Jim Crowley all belong to the low arched class." "Emilio Lunghi, the great Italian runner, has only a slight arch to his feet, while Harmon, of Yale, who won the intercollegiate one mile championship in 4 minutes, 36 seconds, could never have won had he been high up on his toes. He is exceedingly big-footed and no sign of an arch appears on either foot. He is a heavy man, and that may account for his lack of instep. Broken Instep Never Tires. "Harry Cohn, a splendid distance runner, broke down the instep of his left foot and was forced to wear it in a plaster cast for months. He was afraid at that time his running days were over. However, the foot became strong again, and Cohn has been going along in fine form ever since. His insteps were originally high, but he says that the broken down one never tires now. "Just take a look at Lawson Robertson's feet next time you see them. They are generous in size and width, and have carried him a winner to the tape many and many a time. "Longboat, the Indian Marathoner, has feet typical of his race, and St. Yves, the Frenchman, has small but flat feet. Although he is lightly built, they are naturally shaped like a flat iron. "Here are the boxing shoes of Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist. They show that his foot is perfectly flat, but not nearly as large as one would expect after seeing the cartoons of them. He has not a large foot for a man of his size. Look at the shoes and you can tell they belong to an Ethiopian beyond any doubt. "With boxers as well as runners and other athletes, the most striking feature of their physical makeup is that them ajority have large flat feet." JUNIOR. (Continued from Page 1.) named, The People's Savings Bank & Trust Company, do solemnly swear that the above statement is true to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that the same was or will be published in the Nashville Globe, of Nashville, Tenn., on January 21, 1910.

The stockholders had invested in paid up capital on December 31, 1909, at the close of the business of that day, the sum of $2,643. This amount of capital has earned in five months from a banking standpoint $762.09, this being the profits earned in this short time. Were it not for the expense of opening, advertising, making ready for business, we could pass the required 7 per cent to the surplus, and could declare a dividend of about 21 per cent on the capital invested. Figuring from this same point of view, we could have declared a dividend of 1 and 1-2 per cent on the entire capital stock of the bank. With this showing, we ask, "Have the present officials of this bank succeeded in making good for stockholders?" With the continued co-operation of the stockholders and our friends in the community, we believe we can within the next twelve months wipe out the entire expense account, and put the bank on a paying basis. And if the Stockholders unite as one man in an effort to induce people to take stock and deposit in the bank, we can before very long, be one of the strongest banking institutions in the South of our ace.

He points out the fact that an effort should be put forth in this final struggle to capture the location of the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, so that it can be located in Nashville. Every citizen is no doubt interested in the outcome, and especially will this meeting prove of great importance, as more light on the Normal School situation will be turned on. The call will practically settle the question until the State Board of Education makes its final ruling.
