THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING NATIONAL CONVENTION BOARDS Prominent Ministers from all Parts of the Country. COMMITTEE TO LOOK INTO WORKINGS OF ALL THE BOARDS LOCATED HERE-WILL THEN PROCEED TO OTHER POINTS WHERE BOARDS ARE LOCATED-FIVE HAVE HEADQUARTERS IN THIS CITY-SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THEIR WORK THE REPORT IS TO BE RENDERED AT THE SESSION OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION IN NEW ORLEANS NEXT SEPTEMBER. On Tuesday morning of this week a special committee appointed by the National Baptist Convention for the purpose of looking into all of the property in this city in possession of the three boards with headquarters in Nashville, began its labor. Not all of the members were able to reach the city, the conspicuous absentee being Attorney Wm. H. Harrison, of Oklahoma, to whom it was said the Convention was looking to have information upon the legal points and data connected with the property. It was thought all along that Judge Harrison would be here, but it was given out by some of his friends with whom he has been associated for years and who were well known to him doing his stay as a Professor at Roger Williams University that he was detained on important legal matters that would come up in Oklahoma just at the time he was expected here—then too, it is known that he has charge of the constitutional test of the jim-crow car law enactment of the State of Oklahoma, which will be held before the Supreme Court at St. Paul, Minn., next month necessitating his remaining at home getting all of the array of facts together for this legal battle. Some of the committee however came in, but owing to press of business at home, could not remain, especially was it true with Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, Fifty-third street, New York, N. Y. Dr. Gilbert at one time pastored in this city and according to his statement, it was impossible for him to remain throughout the session. The personnel of the committee as given in last week's Globe was practically unchanged with the exception of the presence of Rev. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention, who came in Tuesday morning to be in the committee's session for at least a part of the time, although no a member of the committee, it was appointed by him. It could not be stated early in the week ust how long the session would be nor how many days they would remain in the city. It was predicted however, that it would take about 8 or ten days, as the B. Y. P. U. Board, of which E. W. D. Isaac is Secretary; the Educational Board, of which the late Dr. A. N. McEwen was Secretary; and the National Baptist Publishing Board, of which Rev. R. H. Boyd is Secretary, would have to be looked into. Nothing was given out at the Baptist headquarters as to just how far this committee's power went, and in the absence of a copy of the National Convention proceedings, the Globe reporter could not even see the nature of the resolutions but the concensus of opinion seems to be that this commission will follow along the lines of the last commission, which was here some three years ago and which was composed of Rev. R. T. Pollard, D. D., Selma, Ala.; Rev. T. O. Fuller, D. D., Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. J. E. Knox, D. D., now of Houston, Texas, who made their reports to the Convention showing that everything owned by the Convention in this city, so far as they were able to ascertain, was in splendid shape.

He was a faithful member of Clark Memorial Sunday-School. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, God in His wise providence has plucked this flower from His earthly garden to transplant it in His kingdom, thus our hearts are frantic with grief and sorrow; but we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. Every season has its rain and sunshine. Every rose has its piercing thorn. Every joy has its corresponding sorrow. Ever so in the midst of life there is death, and Whereas, Harrison Anderson, who was a faithful scholar and officer of our Sunday-school, has been summoned from this life of pain, grief and sorrow, to a life of peace, rest and everlasting joy, and Whereas, This family has been caused to mourn because of the departure of this gracious boy, be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the Sunday-schools, extend to this bereaved family, Mrs. Agnes Gentry (mother) and Mrs. M. Peyton (grandmother) our deepest sympathy and love. The chain of our librarians in our Sunday-school has been broken and in the hereafter there will be a vancant chair in Primary Class No. Three, but while we have thus been deprived of his service here, Heaven rejoices at his reception there. Be it further Resolved, That these resolutions be made a part of the Sunday-school record. Most respectfully S. L. Porter, T. B. Hardiman, C. S. Bailey, Committee. CARNIVAL COTERIE ENTERTAINS.

FAMOUS UNIVERSITY COMFORT- ABLY LOCATED ON EAST SIDE —PRESENT HOME PLEASES BOARD AND BAPTIST OF TENNESSEE—RAW DEAL HANDED INSTITUTION BY HOME MISSION SOCIETY—SOLD WEST NASHVILLE PROPERTY FOR OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS—HAS ONLY GIVEN TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND TO THE NEW SCHOOL—THOSE IN CONTROL NOW SEEK-ING TO MAKE FRIENDS. A rumor, more or less persistent, has been going the rounds during the past day or two to the effect that the present site of Peabody College University of Nashville was about to be taken over by Roger Williams University, a school for Negro students. It was said that a proposition for the purchase of the property had been made by persons authorized to represent Roger Williams to the Trustees of George Peabody College for Teachers, and that they were giving it favorable consideration. No confirmation of the rumor can be found but on the other hand, both parties to the alleged deal disclaim all knowledge of it. One of the trustees of George Peabody College for Teachers said this morning: "I find it hard to believe that there is a single person in Nashville who would give credence to the report that the old University of Nashville grounds and buildings are to be sold to a Negro school. You may say positively that the trustees will do no such thing. Besides, Roger Williams has never made any proposition concerning it. Our plans may develop something that will mean a great deal for the old site, but it will not mean a Negro school." A prominent Negro in close touch with the affairs of Roger Williams University, said: "I hardly think it possible that any offer has been made or will be made for the old Peabody site. We understand perfectly that it is not the proper place for us. We know that the white people of that section of the city do not want us there, and we know it is best for us, as well as for them, that we should not be there. Roger Williams is much better situated where it is now located. We are trying to hold the friendship of our white friends here at home, because we have suffered already by not having them in closer sympathy with us. The Northern white people have not treated Roger Williams University right, and we, of all people, know that we must depend on ourselves and the Southern white people. We do not want the Peabody campus and buildings. Walden University would get out of South Nashville to-morrow if it could, and Fisk University realizes that its work is hampered by not being entirely out of the city. Doesn't Seem Likely. With these views held by the two parties it does not seem likely that the University of Nashville grounds will be sold to Roger Williams University. The best information obtainable appears to indicate that a proposition originated, probably somewhere North, for a sort of three-cornered deal. Three years ago the establishment in Nashville of an institution for the education of Negro Baptist preachers, to be known as the National Theological Seminary, was authorized. This institution has never been established. It has no endowment, but it has behind it Negro Baptists to the number of 2,500,000. The proposition recently made was that if the University of Nashville grounds and buildings could be secured for Roger Williams University, the National The ological Seminary would take over the present site of Roger Williams University, two and a half miles from Nashville on the White's Creek Pike. So far as can be learned, no actual negotiations have ever been made toward such a deal. Roger Williams University has not the funds with which to purchase the old Peabody site, and, even if it were willing to accept it, could do so only as a gift. When the old Roger Williams buildings beyond Vanderbilt University, burned a few years ago, the Home Mission Society of Northern Baptists, which then controlled the institution, collected, it is understood, $60,000 of insurance and sold the grounds for $175,000. "All of this money," said the Negro heretofore quoted, "was taken to New York, or at least out of Nashville. Immediately after the buildings were burned it was decided, in New York, that Roger Williams would not be rebuilt. Mr. Morehouse, Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, announced that he would rebuild it on a better basis, but the proposition he made to the Negro Baptists of Tennessee was that if they would raise $24,000 the society would give $20,000. Dr. R. H. Boyd and others had Dr. George Sale, of Atlanta, Educational Secretary of the Home Mission Society in charge of Negro schools, to come to Nashville and agree with the Negroes of Tennessee to give dollar for dollars for all they could raise. Our Southern white people had been so handled, they were so distant from us that we could not have them intercede in our behalf. The Negro Baptists of Tennessee had, for a long time, been handled like babies by the white Baptists of the North and were not in position to do much for themselves, so that comparatively little has resulted from that arrangement. Taking Candy from a Child. "Of the $235,000 taken away from Roger Williams University—like taking candy away from a child—by the American Baptist, or Northern Home Mission Society, not more than $15,000 or $20,000 has ever come back, The Negro Baptists of Tennessee themselves raised the $10,000 with which they purchased the present site on the White's Creek Pike. "The Northern white Baptists have given only in proportion as the Negroes have raised money, when if they had given according to equity, Roger Williams University would have received back more than $100,000 of the money derived from the insurance on the old buildings and the sale of the old site. That property out there was never purchased by the Northern Baptists. It was given by the people to Dr Phillips, the first president of Roger Williams. For more than twenty-five years every Negro Baptist Church, every Negro Baptist Association, and the Negro Baptist State Convention has contributed regularly to the support of the institution. It was from these contributions that the school was maintained and improvements made. Suppose that the Northern Baptists have given $25,000 to Roger Williams University, still they have made a clear profit of $21,000 out of Roger Williams University and the Negroes of Tennessee. The only reason that we did not keep the money here was that the four Negroes on the Board of Trustees did not have nerve enough to enjoin the Northern Board from taking it away. They could not seem to get away from the idea that whatever the Northern men said or did was all right. "Roger Williams University is now controlled by the Negro Baptist State Convention of Tennessee. The American Baptist Home Mission Society still has one member on the Board of Trustees. While it is not to be construed that the authorities in control of Roger Williams University will do anything to antagonize the Northern Society, still they see the mistake of not having done more for themselves in its management. The white Baptists of the South, and the white people of the South generally, are our real friends. The Negroes of Tennessee would have been in much better condition now if they had not believed that the Northern white people were sitting up there with a wagon load of money, ready to shove it down here whenever the appeal was made. If we were in the same organization with the white Baptists around us, or even in close sympathy with them, we would get the help we need." Under this state of affairs, it is argued Roger Williams University could not acquire the University of Nashville campus if it would, and would not if it could. No. 6.

As Reported by the National Negro Business League—Negro Bank a Success—Big Business—Nashville Globe Bank Directory Will Appear February 18. The following interesting information appeared recently in the Daily News (white), Greensboro, N. C., from its staff correspondent in Durham, N. C. Durham, Jan. 25.—At a meeting of the stockholders and directors of the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank here, the Negro banking organization, John Merrick, vice president, was chosen to succeed R. P. Fitzgerald, resigned on account of ill health. This institution, manned by Negro men without a particle of help from the whites, has done a million dollars' worth of business the past year, and its place in the colored colony has become fixed. It has one of the younger men at its head now. Fitzgerald is the richest North Carolina Negro, but Merrick has risen from the barber shop to the livest business man of his race, and is the second richest man in his race here. The Negroes have a magnificent block here and both insurance companies, financed in part by the bank, are dealing deeply in real estate. WHITE WOLE. Hopkinsville, Ky., February 8.—After a desperate fight with a ferocious white wolf, Mr. James Hardle, a cropper on the farm of Lloyd Wilson in South Christian, near the Tennessee line, succeeded in overcoming the animal and chopped off its head with an axe. This is the second wolf that has been killed in Christian County within a month. Newstead farmers recently brought one to bay with fox hounds and ended its career of devastation among the sheep flocks of that neighborhood. The wolf killed by Mr. Hardle had during the last nine months been slaughtering sheep and dogs along the Tennesseesee line. Mr. Hardle heard distressed yelping among his fox hounds and, on going to his barn, found eight puppies dead. They had been torn to pieces by the fangs of the wolf. Two fine hounds had evidently fought the intruder, as they were covered with blood from gaping wounds. Mr. Hardle saw the wolf making off in the darkness, and returned to the house for a lantern, which he secured, and, armed only with a tobacco stick, went back to the barn. His two young sons, one of whom had an axe, accompanied him. The wolf had returned to the barn to finish its interrupted meal. Mr. Hardle's sheepard dog bravely attacked the animal, but was nearly killed in a fight lasting but a few moments. The wolf then advanced on Mr. Hardle, growling and showing its fangs. He struck the animal with the tobacco stick as it sprang on him. Another blow stunned the animal, but it continued the attack until beaten off by strokes of the axe wielded by one of the boys. Mr. Hardle seized the weapon from his son's hands and chopped at the beast's head, and succeeded in severing it completely from the body. CHARLES BANKS AT HOME. Special to the Globe Mound Bayou, Miss., Feb. 7.—This city, noted throughout the United States as the largest distinctively Afro-American burg and municipality, greeted the return of their favored citizen, Hon. Charles Banks, who had been in the East for a fortnight. While away he attended the executive session of the National Negro Business League, of which he has the distinction of being the first vice president and a member of the committee. Mr. Banks has not missed a single executive session and it is due to him and his efforts that success which attends the State League, of which he is the president and prime mover. While away he was accorded no small bit of attention. At New York, where he has large interests and where, whenever he is in the city he is the guest of the leading business men of the metropolis, it is said he succeeded in engineering another large enterprise to be located in Mound Bayou, which means permanent success to the oil mill that is nearing completion. Already assurance is given out by Mr. Banks today that a market has been found for all the oil that the mill will be able to turn out. When he reached Washington a banquet was given in his honor. This was participated in by the Mississippi society in Washington and by his Washington friends and admirers. The brilliant affair took place at Martin's Cafe. Nothing in the way of honor to a Mississippi has surpassed this one fete. The invitations were beautifully gotten up and contained an excellent likeness of the honoree seated comfortably in the front of his palatial Mississippi home. The menu was first-class. The following responded to toasts: Sylvester L. McLaurin, W. R. Griffin, R. W. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1910 Thompson, F. W. Graham, John G. Dancy, T. J. Galloway, George F.

MINISTERS' UNION. On the Sanctity and Care of the Sabbath. We, your committee, to whom was given the subject "The Sanctity and Care of the Sabbath," beg leave to submit our report. Your committee believes that the proper respect and esteem of our dead should be arranged so that the memorial exercises or funerals should not occur on the sabbath, because it destroys the sanctity and perpetuity of the Sabbath. Keeping the body purposely until Sabbath to have a big parade to exhibit the mourners and societies is heathenish and wrong, and should be condemned by the ministry and laity of a civilized world. For the practice is wrong and works hardships upon all that are concerned, to this extent. (a) The minister is overburdened with work, and is deprived of a certain amount of rest. (b) The church is deprived of its regular services, and maintaining its financial status, by the time taken up for the funeral exercises and the preparation for the same. It is a strain on the sexton and the choir. (c) The undertaker, his employees, and the cemetery people are deprived of attending the regular church services, to worship and give praise to God, simply by keeping the body out of the ground until the Sabbath for a big parade, both in the church and streets. Instead of civilization, it looks more like the creature of barbarism and heathenism. (d) The animals are deprived of their rest, which they so much need, if they were in service all the week. The Creator, God, the Giver of the law from Sinai's lofty heights, in his commandments, especially the fourth, ordained that man and beast should take rest for their well-being. The practice of which works a hardship upon the animals and is inhuman in itself. (e) That this Sababath desecration by funerals in many instances is nothing more than heathenish excitement, mourners and societies parading, public exhibitions, and advertisement, sapping the sanctity and proper respect out of the Sabbath. (f) That the keeping of the dead out of the ground longer than is practically necessary is unhealthy, and is against the health of the people, and in some instances serves to propagate and spread diseases and epidemics. 1. In congregating together in wakes many nights, in a small room, with a big fire, and in some instances no ventilation, the very thought of such is condemnatory. 2. An unhealthy practice in kissing the dead at the wake, or in the church, regardless to how long the person has been dead, or the nature of the disease that caused death. Sunday Evils That Should Not Be Tolerated. 1. Funerals or memorial exercises on Sundays. 2. Sunday excursions, either on land or water (by tram, vehicle or vessel.) 3. Card playing. 4. Social evils in general. 5. Baseball playing. 6. Flying jenny amusement 7. Skating rink operation. 8. Old plantation shows. 9. Nameless evils. That these be branded and fought in every Christianlike manner in our respective charges, to the advancement of the people, and to the glory of God. Your Committee. Four Committee, REV. T. W. HAIGLER, D. D. REV. A. BROOKS, D. D., REV. GEO. W. DARTIS, D. D IN HONOR OF SISTERS AND BROTHERS. Mrs. Geo. Whitson, of the Harding road, entertained February 7, in honor of her sisters and brothers.

Whitson, Misses Millie and Annie Woods and Mr. James Smith. --- MEETS WITH HORRIBLE DEATH. Mrs. Blanche Osborne, who lived at 1305 Pearl street, was found Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Eva Settle, with her head and upper portion of her body horribly burned. It is supposed that Mrs. Osborne, who was subject to epileptic fits, had fallen into an open fireplace during an attack. The case was reported to the City Hospital and a hurry call made, but the woman had been dead some time before the physicians arrived. CHURCH DIRECTORY. PENTECOSTAL, CHURCHES.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1910. NEGRO EDUCATION IN TENNESSEE. It is generally conceded that the nations or races that have made the greatest strides in intelligence are those nations or races that have put special stress upon the importance of the education of the youth. Millions of dollars are spent every year to foster educational institutions. Many of the ablest men and women of to-day are devoting their entire time endeavoring to keep alive an interest among the people that will elicit from them every aid at their command to increase the facilities for training the youth in the best possible way. We have in this country some of the largest institutions of learning in the world. They are great in influence, as well as magnitude; some of them are larger than many of the county seats in the State of Tennessee; and the question has been praised on more than one occasion as to whether it is best to have so many people congregated in one school, and that question is a live issue to-day. We do not believe too much can be invested in education, for every dollar spent in that direction is a dollar well spent, but we do believe that it is essential that the school in the rural districts be kept up to a standard that will attract the attention of the people in the community. We believe that the very best teachers that can be had ought to be secured to teach in the primary schools in the rural districts and in the cities as well. We hear the cry coming up from every section of our country that the young people are leaving the farms and flocking to the cities. In this state we have our share of that same complaint to make. Now, there must be a cause for this continual influx, and the question that should be the first to engage the attention of the people is, can a remedy be found to check this influx? We believe a remedy can be found, and better school facilities in the country would be a great step in the right direction. That the people are awakening to the importance of the rural school question is clearly evidenced by a communication to the Nashville American of February 10th by "Colored Teacher" of Franklin Tenn. The communication reads as follows: To the American: Since your widely-read paper is so popular with the masses, I know no better way of expressing myself about THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1910. the welfare of the colored public schools than through your columns. There are some reforms needed at once. The State should furnish a School Inspector who should be chosen by the State Board of Education, and under the supervision of the State Superintendent, whose duty should be to visit cities, towns, villages and hamlets and take up education among the colored people. Fifteen hundred dollars per year and expenses would secure the services of a good man. Secondly, the choice of teachers after examination in country towns and districts should be left with the colored people. No one should be selected over the protest of the patrons of the school. Under the rewritten rule they are sovereign and their mandate should always be heard. Unpopular teachers have had more to do with colored people going to cities en masse than good wages. All intelligent people want their children trained by the best teachers. Thirdly, our teachers are now more or less women whose parents have been domestic servants. Some of these girls never passed examinations, put procured them by some trick during the summer school and have no desire to ever teach, but simply to become a county pensioner and boast to their pupils that she was chosen by the board. Patrons cannot help themselves. This is an evil that must be eradicated. Fourthly, we must need more men to teach the boys the dignity of labor and to get wages is to give good service. Teach the boys and girls to obey the law and not to break it. If this was done the county jail and workhouse would soon be deserted and their employers seeking better avocation. I feel confident that the present administration, which has done so much for education, will give the suggestions a thought and give us the necessary reform. Gov. Patterson will go down in history as the great educational Executive. There is food for thought in the above. While it is true that the Negroes are not the only young people that are flocking to the cities, it is also true that they are more seriously handicapped when they reach a large city than any other class or nationality of people. Recently a young white man applied to a manufacturing concern in this city for employment. He had come from North Carolina, where he had a job on a railroad, but preferred to live in Nashville for good reasons. He had, before going to the concern conducted by Negroes, applied at the office of the street railway company, where he found thirty-two men ahead of him who wanted work, and not a single one of them was a Negro. The scene at the street car office was only one of many. So the Negro, as we have said, is not the only class of people who are a prey to the city fever, but he is the most pitiable creature that goes there. We believe the prime reason for a young man leaving the country to take up his abide in the city is the hope of finding an easy job in the factory or the store, and if we are right in our conclusion, there must be a vital fault in the methods of teaching in the schools. A lazy teacher cannot inculcate into a child habits of thrift and industry. Recently a Negro boy applied for a position as collector for a newspaper. He had been a pupil of a high school. He had not completed the course, but stopped to go to work. He was given a position and worked one week collecting subscriptions. His commission at the end of the first week was $3.13. When he reported he complained of the streneousness of the work. The manager tried to encourage him by telling him that after he had gotten acquainted with the work he would make several times that amount each week. But the young fellow was not impressed with his remarks and went home and wrote back to the office the following: "Dear Sir: "Owing to the position of representative of your paper not agreeing with my health on account of my continuous walking, I offer my resignation." This boy is to be pitied rather than scolded, for his idea of labor, we venture to say, is based on what he was taught while in school. We concur in the idea advanced by "Colored Teacher" that the will of the people should be supreme. We believe that in most instances the school boards do the very best they can in selecting teachers for colored schools, but too often they do not know. We believe, however, that the daughter of a domestic servant is as worthy of a position of teaching as the daughter of a senator if she is as well qualified. It is fitness we want, not social standing. If the girl who goes through school attired in gingham finishes with an average per cent of ninety and her classmate, whose circumstances enabled her to attend school every day dressed in the height of fashion, only makes an average of eighty, then the poor girl, who had to work hard and economize to get through, should be given the position as teacher. She is better fitted in every way to teach others how to push on to success despite conditions or oppositions. On the other hand, if the girl whose parents have been so fortunate as to enable them to provide her the comforts of life, if this girl makes the best mark in her studies she should be the one to be appointed to shape the lives of the children in the school room. Fitness should decide who shall teach school. And too, there is more that goes to make up this fitness than merely the ability to understand the rules laid down in text-books. We want teachers who can stand a moral examination in their own community. And again, we want them to be cognizant of the needs of the people, and of a disposition to create a feeling of good will among all the people. We believe we see signs of better conditions in the Negro schools in Tennessee. Those in authority now are proving that they are interested in the education of all the children in the state, and we are of the opinion that the assistance of the Negroes who have a knowledge of the needs of the Negro youth along educational lines is desired by them. When this is done, and the people awaken to their duty to the cause, we will see in this state a revolution of our school system unparalleled in the South. ALL WOMEN EQUAL. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, of New York, a woman of considerable wealth and one prominent in the agitation of woman's right, in an address to an assemblage of women gave utterance to a sentiment that will, no doubt, elicit general comment. She said: "I feel that unless this cause means freedom and equal rights to all women, of every race, of every creed; rich or poor, its doctrines are worthless and must fail." This is a significant statement, and if the white women of the entire United States coincide with Mrs. Belmont they will be in a position to demand the sympathy and co-operation of every courageous Negro man in this country. JAPAN SAYS NO! This government was made to sit up and take notice by the little hermit kingdom, when they politely but positively refused Secretary Knox's proposal in regard to Manchurian railroad. The papers in some foreign countries purport to look upon the action as an affront, but it is likely more of a desire to court the favor of Japan. We are truly developing statesmen who favor expansion in its broadest sense, which means that we will have to, from time to time, increase our fighting strength both on land and sea, for the nation which essays to control the world may expect to meet opposition from many sources. We have received a copy of the brief in the lawsuit instituted by Lawyer J. Alexander Chiles, of Lexington, Ky., against Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, in which he attacks the separate coach law. Mr. Chiles is going at the evil in earnest and we hope him unprecedented success. The black Cubans are having troubles enough with their white brethren to make them know that they are Negroes in Cuba as well as in the United States. And why should they draw the line on American Negroes? on Jefferson Street, corner 11th avenue, for the benefit of those Orphan Children. A part of the proceeds will go to the above named church.

McGee. ADMISSION. 10c to all. It seems that Uncle Joe Cannon will not be so very lonesome in banishment after all, as Secretary Wilson is also a man of mature years and would, no doubt, make him a boone companion. We advise the local business leagues to hold their annual meetings a little early this year. The distance to the National meeting will be decidedly greater than it was in 1909. Tennessee can boast of being in the non-lynching column with Virginia and North Carolina, as race rioting does not count in this state the same as destruction at the rope's end. If Roosevelt gets back home in June he will arrive in ample time to referee the Johnson-Jeffries fight. He ought to make a dandy. THE RENAISSANCE OF JUNIOR COLLEGE CLASS SPIRIT AT FISK UNIVERSITY The Junior College class of Fisk University is now diligently and almost daily rehearsing the comedy, "She Stooped to Conquer," by Oliver Goldsmith, which comedy will be staged and rendered by that class on the evening of March 11, in the Fisk Memorial Chapel. This feature is not only absorbing the interest of Fisk students and alumni, but is also attracting much attention on the part of colored citizens of Nashville who are and have always been sincere and wholehearted patrons of every enterprise which has for its worthy purpose, the betterment or the elevation of the Negro. As had been said, the play is a comedy, the purpose of which, it is needless to say, is to create fun and merriment, to elicit laughter. When the play was first render... in England, the author was approached by a critic, whom he asked. "Did it make you laugh?" "Exceedingly," answered the critic. "Then." said the author, "that is all I required." Dr. Goldsmith, the author, was an English dramatist of a world-wide fame, to which we could add nothing. This comedy was written during the latter half of the eighteenth century and is a characteristic representation of its times. The scene is laid in England, the characters are eighteen, among whom are representatives of three highly respected households and a number of servants. Under many difficulties, such as an embarrassing mistake which is the huge joke of a mischievous but unwilling rival, together with an element of parental disproval, two couples are seeking to appease in the proper, the one, and only way that well-known and reputed irresistible passion called love. The awkwardness of the servants provoking to wrath their landlord who is overzealous of having everything ideal during the visit of the two suitors, adds much interest to the play and the climax comes when in a unique and mysterious way the lovers succeed in accomplishing their desire in spite of fate, circumstances, and an avowedly unwilling guardian aunt. The play is given under the direction of Mrs. Mary Lockhart Horne, the new teacher of elocution at Fisk, whose training at the Emerson School of Oratory in Boston, whose wide and varied experience in elocutionary work combined with a deal of natural ability and enthusiasm fit her preeminently for such a work as this. The class which is to render the comedy is unusually large and, according to some reports which Rumor has spread within and beyond the campus walls, of unusual ability, it is also noised abroad that they are devoting their best dramatic ability and all the time that can be spared toward making the enterprise a success. The main purpose of giving the play is broader in its scope than the accomplishment of a personal end. The class wishes to contribute something tangible and permanent to its Alma Mater, and if the undertaking is successful it may incidentally establish a custom viz. that of the annual rendition of a play at Fisk which means a greater opportunity for our people to develop dramatic taste and ability. REV. B. F. FERREL, Pastor. THE ONLY ORIGINAL Folk Songs TAKE FIRST RANK. Commenting upon the singing of the songs in our Folk Songs No.1. by a male quartette 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 our 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.

THE AMERICAN TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK. The American Trust and Savings Bank, a Negro institution of Jackson, Miss., held its annual meeting of stockholders last week and made an excellent showing, notwithstanding the ordeal through which it has passed for the last twelve months. There was a shortage some time ago of about $5,000 and the expense of running it down, and a very small per cent. of this has been recovered. But by careful management and the application of close business methods the bank has overcome this and last week it declared a dividend of 7 per cent.—5 per cent. of which was paid to the stockholders and the remaining 2 per cent. was placed to surplus. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: E. E. Perkins, president; J. A. Martin, first vice president; E. H. McKissack, second vice president; M. S. Stuart, cashier; Perry W. Howard, Attorney. Board of Directors: E. E. Perkins, A.J. Howard, H. T. Risher, J. W. Washington, E. E. Howard, S. A. Beadle, J. A. Martin, A. J. Johnson, A. W. Williams, W. F. Howard, A. M. Redmond, R. R. Greene, W. A. Scott, E. H. McKissack, H. H. Houston, E. W. Jones, P. W. Howard, B. I. Robinson, E. L. Patton, D. H. Butler and Chas. H. Allen. The stockholders were well pleased with the present management, feeling that the bank is now on a safe and sound basis, and much is expected for the ensuing year. --- HON. A. N.

The most eminent men in the fession who have achieved distinction in this one process, such as C Friersburg, Dixon, Moll, Warshaw Bains, have given Mr. Johnson The man who starts in prepared has won half his battle. Success in business does not come from prejudice or sentiment any more. The Negro man can no longer hope to receive the patronage of the race on his color, or where he was born or because he belongs to this or that lodge, or this or that church. This is a new era. The people want their money's worth—not all; but the great majority do; and the competent man knows it. Two years and four months ago, when Hon. A. N. Johnson opened the undertaking business in Nashville, he was a total stranger in this community, but the thoughtful people watched the place, the methods, the equipment, the service, and the public debated the question—It went into the debating line. In the space of eleven months the historical Porter mansion was acquired, renovated and extensive parlors, chapel, show-room, morgue and stables were prepared and erected and the public began to realize that Mr. Johnson knew what he was doing in coming to Nashville. To-day this institution, for such as it is, is the best equipped, most complete, modern and elegantly furnished funeral directory of the race in the world. It occupies the largest and most centrally located property, owned by the proprietor of any undertaking firm in the country. A fact conceded by men near and far. In Mr. Johnson's morgue and chapel, the highest men in the embalming profession, men recognized universally as authorities in embalming, heads of embalming colleges of universal fame, have had demonstrations in post mortems and embalming; not Negro men, but men eminent in authority, have had these demonstrations to both white and colored embalmers and who bear testimony of the competency of Mr. Johnson and praise for the splendid institution he has for the public. Mr. Johnson is the only colored man in America who has received instructions and has embalmed by the Great Mico Process. The United States Colleges of Embalming held the demonstrations recently in Mr. Johnson's THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1910. morgue at great expense, when the secrets and arts of this process were given to him.

Known to scarcely a dozen people when he opened business two years ago; yet, during the past year he was called to serve more than 375 funerals. A remarkable record and without a parallel for new men in new places. "What is Johnson doing?" was asked recently by a gentleman, worriedly anxious to know. Mr. Johnson placed his January list of "Thirty-eight" to his messenger and the information conveyed that Mr. Johnson's services are in very great demand and meeting the most brilliant success. In speaking of his business Mr. Johnson says that "Of course I have knockers; I expect them. It is true that I was not born in Nashville. I had no choice in the selection of a place for that event. I don't think the people care where I was born, when I was born or when I die. They want a competent man when death invades the home. They know that I do render them the most superior, complete and competent service, and I am happy to say that I have the confidence of the great masses of the people. I have to bear misrepresentations. Every business man has to do that. There are some people who are born, it seems, to misrepresent facts. They get a fee for getting funerals. They say I do not bury for so --- cieties; that I refuse to take society business and a lot of that kind of talk. I am in business, and want anybody's business who will pay for it. There are some people who are connected with some societies and they never 'hit a lick' of work. They work the society so hard until there is always an empty treasury and when a member dies they try to run over the family and force on them undertakers they want them to have, but what the people do not want and make the bills so great that they never expect to get one cent from the society. Such people say, 'the body belongs to us,' and if the family gives in to them, they soon get the body, get the insurance from the family and the family gets their officiousness, and the whole bill is paid out of the insurance money. "I have had a lot of these offers to get business for a commission; but I have flatly refused them because the people of the deceased have the sacred right to select what undertaker they want, regardless of what any body else says. I am the undertaker of the people. If the society employs me, (and many of the best ones in Nashville do employ me), I serve them and expect them to pay their bills. Some of these paid emissaries say that I do not 1930 send the carriages for the officers. The only society whose officers I refused to send for was a bankrupt concern whom we would not credit one dime; whose officers failed to meet their notes and who had the brazen effrontery to order carriages when they didn't have a dime to pay for No Finer Piece of Carved F THE HORSE anything and who put out that report to fool the people. The people want good service; this I give them in embalming, in directing their funerals, in fine funeral cars, in fine horses, in the entire service; and when I give them such service I want pay for it, and unless they can pay I don't do their --- No Finer Piece of Carved Ebony Ever Put on Wheels 5 work. Why I will send carriages all over Nashville for any society that pays. I have the kind of horses that can go. They are blooded stock, get the best hay, corn and oats, are well groomed; my men are well clothed by me and all prepared to go and why should they not go if the society has the money? If they haven't the money, why then I don't intend to wear my carriages, horses and men out for them, but rather keep them for use for people who pay their bills. When you hear people knocking, you can put it down that it is one's success, and we are having it, makes them work to keep in the sight of the procession we are leading, or that they cannot use us on commission, or that we will not take the insurance from the people and let them take the society money." Mr. Johnson filled a want in the country. The people needed additional facilities and equipment for the number of funerals. These are days when every hearse and every carriage is employed including Mr. Johnson's, and there was complaint about rushes and delays prior to his coming. Now it is all different. He is punctual, patient, reliable, painstaking, thoughtful and safe. People in all the walks of life are impressed with his painstaking service and his business is not confined to any class or section, for everywhere his equipage is seen and recognized for its distinctive superiority. One of the most striking features of the business is the appropriateness. For children there is the children's small white funeral car with snowy white Arabian ponies; beautifully unlike any other turnout of its kind. There is the large white funeral car with the milk white Arabian horses of full size, with which is used interchangeable drapery of white, grey or purple. Then the two sizes of Ebony Funeral Cars, classic in design and of architectural beauty, colossal and massive.

Mr. Johnson extends a cordial invitation to every one, at any time, to visit his place, which is worth the while. Visitors from abroad always want to see the place and go away enthused over its completeness. Mr Johnson has a few souvenir post cards of his Arabian team which he gives to home folks who appreciate mailing pony Ever Put on Wheels. them to distant relatives and friends. Mr. Johnson was called to serve in a funeral at Antioch one day and another near Gallatin the next day. With four licensed and graduated embalmers they are prepared to take charge of funerals far and near and give complete service. --- 6 OUT OF TOWN NOTES. BRIERSVILLE NOTES.

The examinations for the colored teachers were held last Tuesday and Wednesday. The remains of Wm. H. Parrish, who died in Chicago, were brought here Friday morning and conveyed to the residence of Mr. Carter Poindexter, of Kellogg street, where they remained until Sunday, when the funeral was held at Mt. Olive Church by Rev. E. M. Seymour. Interment was at Mt. Olive Cemetery. The Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member, tendered their fraternal respect. There was a time when it was a question in the minds of the public as whether or not the Negro could practice medicine, much less surgery; and for him to be able to maintain a hospital, it was considered out of the question, even in large cities. And for a hospital to be maintained in a town, it was regarded purely absurd; but we are glad to say that Clarksville has the distinction of having one of the best equipped, four-year-old, two-story, twelve-room, brick Infirmaries in the state, owned and controlled by Dr. Robt. T. Burt, where more than fifteen major operations have been performed in the last 90 days. On Jan. 30 Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the distinguished Chicago surgeon, was the guest of the Infirmary, where he did a high major and most skillful and brilliant operation, removing from one patient a 221-2 lb. Abdominal Firoid, as well as the Appendix. The patient is doing well and is considered out of danger. Dr. Burt deserves much or did it for establishing an institution of WSE BROS.

A revolver is a dangerous weapon in the hands of some men, and especially when those men have the protection of the law as was the case last week. They seem to forget what the club is made for and at the first sign of disobedience, are ready to slay as they would a mad dog. If this is done for a petty offense, what would be done if a heinous crime was committed? Prof. Richard B. Harrison, the celebrated reader and dramatist, gave a recital at Fifth Ward Baptist Church last Tuesday night. The attendance was small, but those present were immensely pleased with the recital. Great interest was manifested in the examination for Census Enumerator which was held Saturday evening at 3 p. m. About 36 colored were enrolled, one-fourth being women.

Triangular League Plan of Debate Inaugurated by Leading Negro Universities. Subject: The Income Tax. April 1 is the date in Nashville, Atlanta and Washington, D. C., of a unique debate between teams from the three leading Negro universities of our country. The home team of each university will support the affirmative while its visiting team will defend the negative. There has recently been formed by these universities what is known as a Triangular League. The purpose of this plan of league is to have simultaneously in three different localities as many debates. Each institution sends two teams into the contest, one remains at home while the other visits. This form of debate is very usual among the leading colleges of the country; it so happens that this is the first time on record when there existed such an organization or was ever such an occasion among Negro educational institutions in our country. For some years past there have been a series of contests between Fisk and Atlanta and always have proved highly commendable not alone in point of public interest but for the argumentative drill given to students in the various literary clubs of these schools, while preparing for these debates. Already there have been held two trial debates at Fisk giving candidates for the teams there an opportunity to gain representation upon one of these teams. There is a committee of nine, judges before whom they must appear and display whatever ability they may possess to merit election to these teams. As a result the Carnegie Library at Fisk is no longer a fable "storehouse" of books but a veritable "workshop" of busy aspirants. We feel that each of these debates will be of usual merit owing to the extended and comprehensive study that is being given to the subject of argumentation as a course in the curricula of these schools. The winning of such a debate as these will lend added popularity to the fact that these universities are the highest exponents of educational facilities among our people. Taking place as they do in these intellectual centers of the nation there is every indication of its having an interested and appreciative public encouragement to such an enterprise along the line of student activity. SPORT The sporting element of the city is by no means asleep. The editor has just learned of a small pool being made up by them to bet on the Johnson-Jeffries mill in July. The exact amount could not be ascertained, but he learned that $1000 has already been subscribed and that more is expected. This seems to be the go in most of the larger cities among the younger element of our race, and shows that they have confidence in their man. Talking the matter over with the gentleman in charge of the subscription, it was learned that they expected quite a large amount to be turned in before the fight and that this amount would be bet at the odds offered at the ringside.
