State Grand Lodge and Grand Court.
TO CONVENE IN ELEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION—MATTERS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO COME UP FOR CONSIDERATION—ORGANIZATION WAS FORMALIZED IN NASHVILLE IN THE FAMOUS BOYD BUILDING—GRAND CHANCELLOR CRAWFORD IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORDER.
The eleventh annual session of the State Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Tennessee will convene in Dyersburg, Tuesday, July 12. The meeting of the Endowment Board will be held on Monday preceding the opening of the Grand Lodge.
The session of the Grand Lodge will be interesting in many ways. There will be several matters brought before the body for adjustment, and all of them are of vital importance to the several orders throughout the state. Legislation, it is believed, will be under consideration affecting the constitution and by-laws of the order. Ten years have elapsed since the Pythian Grand Lodge was organized in Boyd Building, Nashville, and the demands of the institution have increased since that time more than tenfold, which makes it imperative that the manner of running the order be in need of some changes.
Dr. J. P. Crawford, who has been at the head of the Pythians in this state for ten years, will have little if any opposition this year for re-election. From what can be learned the delegates from all parts of the state are a unit for him. Dr. Crawford has done a great work for Pythianism in this state. He has always kept the order on a high plane. Some of the other officers, it is thought, will have a hard time getting back their places, but it is not believed that many changes will be made.
GRAND CHANCELLOR, J. P. CRAWFORD, M. D.
Another matter of importance that will come up for consideration is the establishment of a home for widows orphans and aged members of the order in the state, the same to have an industrial feature attached. This mat has been brought to the attention of he Grand Lodge annually for six years, but to this time no definite action has been taken about the same, but great pressure is being brought to bear this year which is intensified (Continued on Page 8.)
GREAT BATTLE FOUGHT IN RENO INDEPENDENCE DAY—JOHNSON MASTER OF THE SITUATION ALL THE WAY—GRAPHIC PEN PICTURE BY JACK LONDON, THE FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT—CORBETT'S TAUNTS HAVE NO EFFECT ON CHAMPION—JOLLIES THE DECEITFUL POMPADOUR—TRIMS JEFF.

Reno, Nev., July 4. Once again has Johnson sent down to defeat the chosen representative of the white race, and this time the greatest of them. And as of old, it was play for Johnson. From opening round to the closing round he never ceased from the witty sallies, his exchanges of repartee with his opponent's seconds and with the audience. And for that matter, Johnson had a funny thing or two to say to Jeffries in every round.
The golden smile was as much in evidence as ever, and neither did it freeze on his face nor did it vanish. It came and went throughout the fight, spontaneously, naturally.
It was not a great battle, after all, save in its setting and its significance. Little Tommy Burns, down in far-off Australia, put up a faster, quicker, livelier battle than did Jeff. The fight to-day, and again I repeat, was great only in its significance. In itself it was not great.
The issue, after the fiddling of the opening rounds was never in doubt. In the fiddling of those first rounds the honors lay with Johnson, and for the rounds after the seventh or eighth it was more Johnson, while for the closing rounds it was all Johnson.
Johnson played as usual. With his opponent not strong in the attack, Johnson blocking and defending in masterly fashion, could afford to play. And he played and fought a white man, in the white man's country, before a white man's audience. And the audience was a Jeffries audience.
When Jeffries sent in that awful rip of his, the audience would madly applaud, believing it had gone home to Johnson's stomach, and Johnson, definitely interposing his elbow, would smile in irony at the audience, play acting, making believe he thought the applause was for him—and never believing it at all.
The greatest battle of the century was a monologue, delivered to 20,000 spectators by a smiling Negro, who was never in doubt and who was never serious for more than a moment at a time.
As a fighter Johnson did not show himself a wonder. He did not have to. Never once was he extended. There was no need. Jeff could not make him extend. Jeff never had him in trouble once. No blow Jeff ever landed hurt his dusky opponent. Johnson came out of the fight practically undamaged. The blood on his lip was from a recent cut received in the course of training and which Jeffries managed to re-open.
JEFF'S STAMINA GONE.
Jeff failed to lead and land. The quickness he brought into the fight quickly evaporated, and while Jeff was dead game to the end he was not so badly punished. What he failed to bring into the ring with him was his stamina which he lost somewhere in the last seven years. Jeffries failed to come back. That is the whole story. His old-time vim- and endurance were not there. Something has happened to him. He lost, in retirement, outside of the ring, the stamina that the ring itself never robbed him of. As I have said, Jeff was not badly damaged. Every day boys take worse lickings in boxing bouts than Jeff took to-day. (Continued on page 2.)

JULY 13, 14 AND 15 REGISTRATION DAYS IN DAVIDSON COUNTY Negroes Will Prepare to Exercise Voting Privilige
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week the registration booths will be open in Davidson County for the regular supplemental registration that is held before all elections. This opportunity to qualify to vote is given for the special benefit of those who have moved since the last election, but it is also an opportunity for those who have not registered at all. There is great activity among the Negroe voters of the state right now and the number of registered colored voters is expected to be increased by several thousand during these registration days.
Recent utterances have stirred the Negroes to a sense of duty, and they are more determined than ever to cast their votes in self-defense in the August and November elections. Tennessee is one of the few Southern states where the white citizens are courageous enough not to entertain any fear of Negro domination in any form, and they do not see any need for the passage of laws that are in fact unconstitutional. The Negroes have made a careful study of the situation in Tennessee and they know pretty well what men to vote for.

INDEPENDENT ORDER OF IM
MAGULATES
Assemble in Historic Nashville.
SESSIONS HELD IN BOYD BUILDING—MAYOR HOWSE DELIVERS WELCOME ADDRESS—RESPONSES BY PROMINENT DELEGATES—GRAND MASTER BOYD DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS—GOOD ADVICE GIVEN TO REPRESENTATIVES OF LODGES—URGES THE ERECTION OF A TEMPLE IN NASHVILLE.
The tenth biennial convention of the State Grand Lodge of Tennessee, Independent Order of Immaculates, a fraternal society organized shortly after emancipation by the late Dr. Chas. Hadley, opened here in the Boyd Hall on Cedar street Tuesday, with an attendance of more than 100 delegates from over the state.
Mayor Howse spoke to the delegates at their opening session, and offered some wholesome advice to the members of the lodges. He was introduced by Dr. R. F. Boyd, Grand Master. Short addresses were delivered by Prof. W. S. Thompson, Nashville, Supreme Treasurer; Mrs. Roberta Slayton, Chattanooga; L. C. Moore, Memphis, and others.
Dr. Boyd stated to the delegates that the order was in a healthy condition and was enjoying the loyal support of the members. He said that his earliest and most lasting impression of the Immaculate order was and still is, that its Christian teachings paternal lectures tend to the higher moral and intellectual development for his race. He announced to the delegates that he had been informed that it was the purpose of that body to re-elect him Grand Master, but that it would be impossible for him to serve.
The following committee was appointed to receive the address of the Grand Master: J. J. Scott, Memphis, W. M. Franklin and S. J. Carter, Nashville. The sessions were held from 9 until 12 in the morning and from 2 until 5 in the afternoon.
With impressive religious services, marked by good and fervent singing, the second day's session of the tenth biennial convention of the State Lodge of Tennessee was opened Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, with Dr. R. F. Boyd, Grand Master, in the chair.
Much important business was transacted at the morning session following the report of the Credentials Committee resulting in the seating of all delegates.
The reports of the Grand Secretary, the Treasurer and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Endowment Board were all heard and received and passed to the proper committees for action later. From the reports as made the Order of Immaculates is in a prosperous and harmonious condition and much credit is given the present Grand Master for the successful management of the organization during the past few years.
In addition to the many delegates present, representing the subordinate lodges over the state, a rumber of representatives from the Supreme Lodge are in attendance upon the meetings, among whom are Chas, Lawrence, W. S. Thompson, C. W. Winston, King Ganaway, Chas, McCage, A. A. Fisher, J. Thomas Turner. The report of the Grand Master, Dr. R. F. Boyd, was warmly received and was the feature of the session held in the afternoon. He said in part: "Most of you will remember the peculiar and trying circumstances under which I was chosen as your chief two years ago. The old ship had run adrift, leaks were sprung in the hull, pumps were being piled to keep us afloat, and many predicted that the Immaculate Order was dead beyond resurrection. It was proposed and avocated by some that our endowment should be abolished. The future was indeed dark. More than one hundred claims were unpaid and the beneficiaries were demanding their

POSTPONEMENT OF CASE.
The much mooted question as to whether Attorney R. L. Mayfield will collect the judgment given to him by the justice of the court against Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, Secretary of the Baptist Young People's Union Board and Editor of the National Baptist Union, of this city; Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention, of Helena, Ark.; and Rev. E. J. Fisher, Pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill.; is still a matter of comment. Mr. Mayfield state to the court on the strength of his suit that he was employed by these men in the recent Investigation Committee which was in session in this city last February. It appears from the bulk of evidence that the court thought Mr. Mayfield should be paid for his services, giving judgment against the three above-named gentlemen. In the meantime, the gentlemen in question appealed the case which was set to come to trial last week but which was postponed to the October term of court. Just what the outcome will be is yet to be determined. Attorney Mayfield, in talking to a Globe reporter, appears to be confident that he will get the $500.00 for which he is suing. He claims to have established very clearly, not only the deception practiced by not employing him after having gained his legal advice. It seems that the committee employed a white lawyer for which Mr. Mayfield is now asking damages for $500.00, a part of which judgment has been rendered for in one of the lower courts. The October term of court will, no doubt, settle the question, if not, the prospects are, it will be taken to the Supreme Court as Lawyer Mayfield seems determined and the opposition as determined. It is freely reported in Nashville that the postponement was granted on account of the absence from the city of one of the principals, the Rev. E. W. D. Isaac whom it is said has moved his head quarters to Moblie, Ala., and where Rumor states, he has been called to the Franklin Street Baptist Church and possibly on account of the absence of Rev. E. J. Fisher from this country, he having gone to Edinburgh, Scotland. Dr. Morris does not live in Nashville, thus their attorney is supposed to have asked for this continuance which the court granted.
MRS. TENNESSEE BOSTIC DEAD. After a brief illness, partly due to advanced age and partly to a slight attack brought on by the inclement weather. Mrs. Tennessee Bostic, the mother of Mr. J. West Bostic, who is
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1910.
the Vice President of the One-Cent Savings Bank, and prominently connected with other business institutions, died last week. Mrs. Bostic was in her eighty-eighth year. The funeral services were held at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. S. Hughes, 134 Fourteenth avenue, North. Rev. G. Lake Imes, the Pastor of the Howard Congregational Church, Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. Church, and Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, officiated. The services were at 2 o'clock p. m. At 3:40 the remains were taken to Franklin, Tenn., the birthplace of the deceased, for interment, accompanied by a party of fifteen from this city. At the cemetery at Franklin, Rev. Williams officiated. The deceased was well known in both Franklin and in Nashville having lived in Nashville for the past quarted century. She leaves three daughters, Mrs Mary Gregory, of Fargo, N. D.; Mrs Whitton, of Memphis, Tenn.; and Mrs. Hughes, of this city, and one son. J. West Bostic. The four children with relatives and grandchildren were at the bedside when the end came.
ONE OF BEST IN COUNTRY.
Meharry Medical College Well Spoken of in Carnegie Report.
In the general criticism which the medical colleges of Tennessee received at the hands of the Carnegie Foundation, Meharry was especially well spoken of being classed as one of the two colored medical colleges in the country that was worthy of serious consideration. The entrie extract in regard to these colleges is as follows.
"The medical care of the Negro will never be wholly left to Negro physicians. The practice of the Negro doctor will be limited to his own race, which in its turn will be cared for better by good Negro physicians than by poor white ones, but the physical well-being of the Negro is not only of moment to the Negro himself. Ten million of them live in close contact with 60,000,000 whites. The Negro must be educated not only for his sake, but for ours. He has his rights and due and value as an individual, but he has, beside, the tremendous importance that belong to a potential source of infection and contagion. The pioneer work in educating the race to know and to practice fundamentally hygienic principles must be done largely by the Negro doctor and the Negro nurse.
"Of the seven medical schools for Negroes in the United States, five are at this moment in no position to make any contribution of value to the solution of the problem above pointed out. Meharry at Nashville and Howard at Washington are worth developing, and until considerably increased benefactions are
available, effort will wisely concentrate upon them. The upbuilding of Howard and Meharry will profit the nation much more than the inadequate maintenance of a large number of schools.
Mehairy is the creation of one man, Dr. George W. Hubbard, who, sent to the South at the close of the war on an errand of mercy, has for a half century devoted himself singly to the elevation of the Negro. The slender resources at his command have been carefully husbanded; his pupils have in their turn remembered their obligations to him and to their school. The income of the institution has been utilized to build it up. The school laboratories are highly creditable to the energy and intelligence of Dr. Hubbard and his assistants. The urgent need is for improved clinical facilities—a hospital building and a well-equipped dispensary. Efforts now making to acquire them deserve liberal support."—The Nashville American.
FIRE ENGINE TURNS TURTLE.
Woodland-Street Company's Steamer Goes Over Embankment.
While the Woodland-street fire company of East Nashville was answering a silent alarm last night the driver ran over an embankment, the engine turning turtle and considerable damage resulting. The driver and firemen escaped almost unhurt. The horses were uninjured but the engine was rather badly crippled.
When the fireman at the lumber yard of Love, Boyd & Co., beyond the Broadway Bridge, east of the river, discovered a slight blaze around the boiler he became alarmed and hurried away to ask the fire department to come down.
He telephoned to Main 215—the Woodland-street company, the only Negro company of the department and one of the fastest in the city. The firemen hurried off down the river bank to the little blaze. Out beyond the Broadway Bridge the path is pretty narrow, and, going at a rapid clip, the machine slid over a 12-foot embankment. The engine turned halfway over, landing on its nose. The driver went over, too, and was badly shaken up, but escaped without serious injury. The engine tongue snapped, probably saving the horses.
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT.
Miss Maggie Silvers, daughter of Mr. Wm. Silvers, of the Nashville Fire Department, met with a serious accident last Monday, while attending the Catholic picnic. Miss Silvers was standing near a rope swing and in some manner the rope by which the swing was lifted was wound around her neck causing her to be dragged on the ground several feet, and inflicting a painful wound. At this writing the young lady is improving.
Jeff to-day disposed of one question. He could not come back. Johnson in turn answered another question, he has not the yellow streak. But he only answered that question for today. The ferocity of the hairy-chest cavenement and grizzly combined did not intimidate the coolheaded Negro. Many thousands in the audience expected this intimidation and were correspondingly disappointed. Johnson was not scared, let it be said here, and beyond the shadow of any doubt. Not for an instant was Johnson scared. Not for a second did he show the flicker of a fear that the Goliath against him might eat him up.
JOHNSON NEVER EXTENDED.
But the question of the yellow streak is not answered for all time. Just as Johnson has never been extended, so he has never shown the yellow streak. Just as a man may rise up, heaven-alone knows where, who will extend Johnson, just so may that man bring out the yellow streak, and then again he may not. So far the burden of proof all rests on the conclusion that Johnson has no yellow streak.
And now to the battle, and how it began. All praise to Tex Rickard, the gamest of sports, who pulled off the fight after countless difficulties, and who, cool, calm and quick with nervous aliveness, handled the vast crowd splendidly at his arena, and wound up by refereeing the fight.
Twenty thousand filled the great arena and waited patiently under the cloud-flecked, wide Nevada sky. Of the many women present, some elected to sit in the screen boxes far back from the ring, for all the world like olden Spanish ladies at the theater. But more, many more, women sat close to the ringside beside their husbands or brothers. They were wiser far.
Merely to enumerate the celebrities at the ringside would be to write a sporting directory of America—at least a directory of the "four hundred" of sportdom and of many more hundreds of "near four hundreds."
At 1:56 Billy Jordan cleared the ring amid cheers and stood alone, the focal point of 20,000 pairs of eyes until the great sunroom climbed through the ropes to call tumultuous applause and ringing cheers from the 20,000 throats for the state of Nevada, the people of Nevada and the Governor of Nevada.
Beginning with Tex Rickard, ovation after ovation was given to all the great ones not forgetting Fitzsimmons, whom Billy Jordan introduced as "the greatest warrior of them all." And so they came, great one after great one, ceaselessly, endlessly, until they were swept away before the greatest of them all, the two men who were about to do battle.
It was 2:30 when Johnson entered. He came first, airy, happy and smiling, greeting friends and acquaintances here and there and everywhere in the audience, cool as ice, waving his hand in salute, smiling, smiling, ever smiling, with eyes as well as with lips, never missing a name nor a face, placid, plastic, nerveless, with never a single frown of hesitancy, nor timidity.
KEYED UP TO THE SITUATION
Yet was he keyed up keenly observant of all that was going on, even hearing much of the confused babble of the tongues about him—hearing, aye and understanding, to.
There is nothing heavy nor primitive about the man Johnson. He is alive and quivering, every nerve fiber in his body and brain, withal it is hidden so artfully, or naturally, under that pose of facetious calm of his.
He is a marvel of sensitiveness, sensibility and perceptibility. He has a perfect mechanism of mind and body. His mind works like chain lightning, and his body obeys with equal swiftness.
But the great madness of applause went up when Jeffries entered the ring two minutes later. A quick superficial comparison between him and the Negro would have led to a feeling of pity for the latter. For Jeffries was all that has been said of him. When he stripped and his mighty body could be seen, covered with mats of hair, all the primordial adjectives ever applied to him received their vindication. Nor did his face belie them. No facile emotion played on that face, no whims of the moment, no flutterings of a light-hearted temperament.
STILL NEGRO SMILED.
Dark and sombre and ominous was that face, solid and stolid and expressionless, with eyes that smoldered and looked savage.
The man of iron, grim with determination, sat down in his corner. And the care-free Negro smiled and smiled. And that is the story of the fight. The man of iron, the grizzly giant, was grim and serious. The man of summer temperament smiled. That is the story of the Whole

fight. It is the story of the fight by rounds.
At the opening of the first round they did not shake hands. Knowing the two men for what they are, it can be safely postulated that this neglect was due to Jeff or to the prompting of Jeff's corner. But it is not good that two boxers should not shake hands before a bout. I would suggest to those protagonists of a perishing game, if they wish to preserve the game, that they make most of these little amenities that by custom grace their sport and give it the veneer of civilization.
JOHNSON MODESTLY TELLS HOW HE WON
By Jack Johnson.
Reno, Nev., July 4. "I won from Mr. Jeffries because I outclassed him in every department of the fighting game. Before I entered the ring I was certain I would be the victor. I never changed my mind at any time. "Jeffries" blows had no steam behind them, so how could he hope to defeat me? With the exception of a slight cut on my lower lip, which was really caused by an old wound being struck, I am unmarked. I heard people at the ringside remark about body blows being inflicted upon me. I do not recall a single punch in the body that caused me any discomfort. I am in shape to battle again to-morrow if it were necessary. "One thing I must give Jeffries credit for is the game battle he made. He came back at me with the heart of a true fighter. No man can say that he did not do his best.
"I believe we both fought fairly. There was nothing said between us which was rough. He joked me and I joked him. I told him I knew he was a bear, but I was a gorilla and would defeat him.
"For the next few weeks I shall play in vaudeville. Then I shall go to my home in Chicago to rest. I do not think I shall fight for several months, because I do not know a man now who could give me a good battle. No attention will be paid Sam Laugford's challenge by me. I don't consider he could give me a fight that would draw.
TIMEKEEPER TELLS STORY.
By George Harting, Official Time. keeper.
Time was called at 2:45. Johnson entered the ring at 2:28, and Jeffries entered four minutes later. The fight lasted fifteen rounds. The time for the last round was 2.27. The fight was stopped at 3:41. In the fifteenth round there were three knockdowns. The first two of these were each of nine seconds duration. The last one was eight seconds. Then Jeffries' seconds rushed in and the referee gave the decision to Johnson. There is no doubt that independent of this action Jeffries would have been counted out.
CORBETT'S STORY OF THE ROUNDS.
During the contest, which I followed closely, I watched the fight from Jeffries' corner and dictated the story of the rounds to a stenographer. Here it is:
Round One—They didn't shake hands. They are both grinning. There goes that left of Johnson's. He got it in, but it was light, boys, very light. Wonder how long that black man is going to do the brother act? Will he never let go? Break 'em, Tex. Johnson pushes Jeff out of the clinch and puts another left to the face. Jeff got the left to the body. That's it, Jeff, right there, that's where it hurts. They clinch and Jeff gets two lefts to the head and body on the break. They exchange short lefts and clinch again. After the bell rings Johnson grins and pats Jeff on the back, and then goes to his corner shaking his head. Looks to me as if Jeff were stalling.
IT'S A LITTLE SLOW YET
Round Two—Straight left now, Jack, that will get him. Jim misses a left lead and Johnson feints, but Jeff keeps away. Johnson puts a left to the mouth and clinches. He uppercuts Jim to the jaw. There goes Jeff's left to the stomach and the right to the jaw. Now he gets that straight left to the mouth and Johnson sheds a little blood. Jim takes Johnson's left uppercut on the head. That left hand hook is a joke, Jim; he can't reach you with it. It is a little slow yet.
THEN, "LOOK OUT JEFF."
Round Three—Johnson uppercuts left to the body and gets the straight left over to the mouth. You've got a fat chance of hurting him. Jack. Everybody is laughing at you. He's making you look like a fool. How do you like that stinger to the stomach, eh? Hurts, don't it? Wait till that yellow streak begins to show. Go on, Jim; you'll knock his block off. Johnson puts over two more lefts to the jaw. Look out, Jeff. Johnson blocks the left as the bell rings.
Round Four—Johnson puts the left hook to the head and Jeff plants two lefts to the body. You've got him worried, Jim. Jim puts the left to the head again and they clinch and wrestle slowly about. Jeff has started the claret from Johnson's mouth.
Round Five—Johnson is trying to goad Jeff into losing his head, but it doesn't work. He might as well

talk to a stone wall. Why don't you go in and mix it, Jack? Johnson gets over a right and a fleck of blood shows on Jeff's upper lip. He got that from that left stab. Jeff jolts Johnson's head and the latter's head wabbles back. Don't cry, Johnson, the worst is yet to come.
BE CAREFUL, JIM; SLAM 'EM IN.
Round Six—Johnson puts the left to the head and then clinches. Jeff lets go the left. Johnson gets the right over to the face and lands a swing to the head that was a hot mix. Go it, Jeff, slam 'em in. Make him back up. Yes, I guess Johnson did have the better of that. I'd like to see Jeff cut loose a little. Gee, he's got Jim's right eye on the blink. Be careful, Jim, take it easy. You'll get him.
Round Seven—Jeff puts the left to the body and they circle around in a clinch. Johnson whips the left to the mouth and then to the jaw. Jeff hooks the left to the jaw. Johnson puts three good left swings to the jaw and hammers Jim with the right on the chin. Jeff puts the left to the face. Johnson gets over a good one as the bell rings.
JOHNSON IS SHOWING UP BETTER.
Round Eight—They go into a clinch, but Johnson slips out of it and puts the left over to the jaw. Johnson cracks a left to the face and Jim gets the left and right to the body. Johnson cracks over that right again. In the level, boys, Jim is a sucker for that punch. He don't seem to be able to get away from it. Now there are more clinches. Johnson is showing up better just as I said he would. Round Nine—Go in and make that big stiff fight, Jim. That's it, put that left in there again; look out, look out, keep away from those lefts; put up your guard. Don't let him keep putting them over. Stick it into his stomach there; he can't take them. Johnson rains the left to the body; that was a pretty punch. Jeff gets the left over again at the bell.
JEFF LETS UPPERCUT GO THROUGH.
Round Ten—Johnson puts two light left to the face. Ha, ha, he's getting tired now, Jim. Look out for that right swing. I guess that one must have stung. That's it, Jim. Block 'em. Show him up. You've got it on him. He can't hurt you. There goes that left to the eye. What do you think of that? Jeff always lets that uppercut go through him.
Round Eleven—There's that right to the jaw again. That man certainly is outboxing Jim. Go on. I've banded him the same thing, Jack, and he just eats 'em up. He don't ever even feel 'em. You're getting tired, aren't you? That's right. Jim, bore in That's what he should have done at the start and he'd have taken the heart out of that Negro. Johnson lands three lefts and a right to the jaw. That's it, Jim, those snappy ones. Put 'em over; that was a dandy. See it? Jeff put it right on the jaw that time.
Round Twelve—Jeff clouts the left to the body. Look at the Negro nodding and bowing to the crowd. He's grinning now, but will he keep it up? I'd like to see Jim do something. He looks too slow to me. Why the deuce didn't he take my advice and do a little more boxing? Johnson is making a sucker out of him. Look at those lefts and rights. He's pitting Jim whenever he pleases. And Jim's taking it. I wish I was up there. I can hardly restrain myself. Jim will get one of those lefts over yet, and then it will be good night. Johnson is landing left and right almost at will. Jim is bleeding pretty freely from the mouth.
"PUNCH WOULD HAVE KILLED AN OX."
Round Thirteen—Johnson tries the left and they go into a clinch. Johnson biffs Jim on the jaw with the left. Now he gets over a straight left and now a right and a left to the jaw. He measures Jeff and swings the left hand to the jaw. And the devil of it all is he's landing them. Jeffries puts the left to the body and it looks as if it hurt Johnson. No, there Johnson comes back with the left to the jaw. That's a terrific punch. Can Jim take those things yet? He's a marvel. That punch would have killed an ox.
Round Fourteen—Gee, but Jim's right cheek is battered up. That Negro must he hitting hard. There goes that left again. It doesn't help Jim's face any. He tells me he can't see out of the right eye. Jeff lands a left high on the head. I wish Jim would lead oftener. He seem satisfied to just wade in and take them. Johnson rests and then suddenly shoots over those punches and Jeff looks as if he expects them, but he doesn't block 'em.
"GET UP; THEY'RE COUNTING.
Round Fifteen—Jeff blocks the left swing and they clinch. They wrestle around the ring slowly. Here they come over his way. Now they break. What's that? My God, Jim is down. That left did it. Get up, Jim, for God's sake get up. Throw some water there, you fellows. Are you turned to stone? Jeff, old man, don't you hear

Conservative estimates of the winnings of the colored people aggregate $50,000. One man mortgaged his household goods for $100 and bet the money at odds of 2 to 1. Ten young men made up a pot of $2,000 and placed it on Johnson at odds of 10 to 6. One bet of $5,000 was made by Lincoln Grant, colored. This won $7,500 from Barney Duell, a cattleman.

ERIDAY, JULY 8, 1910.
WATCH THE STRAWS.
In the Nashville Banner of June 25th there appeared a communication headed "A Grandfathers' Clause Suggested." The communication was signed "Voter" which is equivalent to "cowardice" under the circumstances. We reproduce "Voter's" suggestion in full that our readers' attention may be called to the same afresh:
"The political situation relative to the Negro in politics recalls a remark I once overheard when the speaker in the undertone said, 'The Negro is not of of politics; he is only dormant, and whenever the white people split on any political question the Negro will become a political factor again and his vote eagerly sought. This will resuscitate him and make him once more a dangerous factor in the affairs of State. Now, Mr. Editor, it cannot be denied that Tennessee is growing, growing fast, and most of the new blood coming in is found in the mining section of the state, and this means increase in the Republican vote, and in addition to this many of the young generation of white voters cannot be relied upon to vote as their fathers shot. Therefore, it ought to be brought seriously to the attention of our prospective lawmasters that a 'grandfather's clause' is needed in our statute book and a further proviso that each voter should own at least two hundred and fifty dollars in real and personal property and be able to read and write the English language. Now is the time to do it. Sentiment can no longer hold the voter in line. Interest and self-interest, at that, will be the guide in the near future, and the sooner we realize this condition and prepare to meet it the less trouble we will have when the inevitable split comes, and when it does, if we disfranchise the ignorant pauper Negro we can feel assured that we will have a white man's government, no matter which party wins. Other Southern states have done it, and there is peace in the Democratic party in those states, and why? Because every man votes his sentiment. No man votes with one party and prays for the success of the other. For forty-five years the Southern people subordinated every political opinion to the black pall which hung over their fair land. They had opinions different from the declaration of the Democratic party, but they were stifed on account of the Negro. But conditions are changing. We are becoming a great manufacturing people. We are developing our resources as never before, and with this commercial development is coming political changes, might I say political in dependence, and these changed

conditions should be met in a patriotic way. The Negro should be eliminated, he should not be merely shelved to be dormant until needed by a faction of the whites. He should not be a factor of the smallest denomination. He should be down and out. Follow the plan of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who said: "The Negro don't vote, but he can vote, and because he does not vote when he can vote let us fix him so that he can't vote when he wants to vote, and by so doing place our state in a position to insure a white man's government whichever political party wins. Georgia followed his advice and the Negro was eliminated."
The fact that this communication was accepted by the Banner is evidence that there are others who thinks as the writer. There is no danger of Negroes dominating the State of Tennessee for the next thousand years to come, and if they do after that length of time no body should care. The truth of the matter is there are some pretentiously righteous individuals in this commonwealth who are bent on mischief, and such suggestions as "Voter" puts forth are straws that show the drift of that under current. On the 13th, 14th and 15th of this month the registration books will be open. Every Negro who has a spark of manhood should register if he has not done so. If you fail to register you may have cause to regret it before another twelve months.
JOHNSON'S VICTORYY.
The victory of Jack Johnson over Jim Jeffries in a prize fight in Reno, Nev., last Monday has caused a great commotion in this county. We fall to see why it should be so. The Negroes are of course proud of J. Arthur Johnson, but they are not going to lose their minds because he won the victory. If the daily papers would stop publishing the groundless rumors about riots and near-riots the matter would soon be forgotten.
The latest agitation about the moving pictures is another mistake the daily press is making. It is a case of making mountains of mole hills. As was stated in the Nashville American there will be some fools, but they will be fools just the same, pictures or no pictures. The whole affair shows inconsistency of the rankest nature. When the "Clansman" was staged a few years ago the doors of every theatre in the country were tiron open. Billboards were covered with pictures that were of a nature, of a truth, to create a hatred toward a helpless people, but no city forbade the show being exhibited, but when a Negro prize fighter defeats a white prize fighter, a great howl is set up about race riots, race domination and the like. If the perpetuity of this government is now threatened by one Negro prize fighter the predictions of the statesmen of the old world that our form of government would not stand the test of time has virtually come true.
WOMEN'S CLUBS
The steps taken by the women's clubs of the city to increase the attendance in the Sunday-school is a move that should receive the approval of all the people. Any boy or girl, man or woman for that matter, is better off in Sabbath-school on Sunday morning than they are on the street corners.
It is a happy thought to know that our women are doing real work in their club meetings, and that they are not wasting their time in idle gossip. There is so much needed to be done; so many, young and old, who need to be encouraged and enlightened that there is no time to spend in idleness.

Openions of the Daily Press on Recent Prize Fight
(The Chicago Tribune.)
The late Mr. Jeffries seems to have been unable to suppress what might be called the Smoke Nuisance. The details of his endeavors make a sooty recital in the columns of this morning's papers, and much gloom is supposed to have taken up its abode in the dismal hearts of the white race. Nevertheless we shall insist on cheering up. Little Arthur Johnson, a perfect specimen of smoked American, is king of fistcuffs, but we observed that the colored porters in a neighboring palace or refreshment, into which many supporters of the indefinitely Postponed White Man's Hope had plunged abruptly for moral support, were proceeding about their tasks with the same courtesy, placidity and good nature with which they had discharged their tasks before the fatal announcement of the unpleasant finish to the Reno celebration of a Sane Fourth. We observed no indications of untoward doings and we nourish no fears that the republic is tottering uncertainly on its foundations.
We are confident that the banks will open to-day as usual, that the merchant, revived by two days' release from toil, will show his happy and pleasant face behind his counter, that the toiler will present himself good-naturedly at his work, and that the world will wag along with its usual aches, pleasures and pains.
Our optimism may be unjustified, but we are content. To the many who deplore that such things as prize-fights occur we even have a word of encouragement. It is apparent that for a few years at least the white portion of this free republic are about to lose all interest in pugilism. Little Arthur has made it necessary for us to look to intellectual employments for the racial superiority in the sensations of which we luxuriate.
It is apparent now that prize-fighting is an ignoble pursuit. In a few years a big white man may come along with the vigor of youth, the constitution of a section of the western Cordilleran range and a punch like the discharge of a twelve-inch gun, and raise the standards of the ring, out for the present we must abandon it. Little Arthur has made it impossible for us to remain interested in the pugilistic profession. Even Nevada now may renew its prize-fight laws.
Mr. Jeffries seems to have been the victim of something like the law of gravitation. As one shrewd observer of muscular performances noted, six years is a 1 long time to be absent from any profession.
EASTERN VIEW.
Mr. Johnson's Title.
(The New York Sun.)
It is idle to speculate as to the comparative abilities of the Jeffries who knocked Jack Munroe out in two rounds in 1904 and the Johnson who
In the death of Chief Justice Fuller of the Supreme Court of the United States the Negroes of this country lost a strong friend. He was a democrat in politics and democratic in character. Justice to all men was his motto.
Jack Johnson sent his mamma, Mrs. Tiney Johnson, the bacon to the tune of $50,000 as soon as he sold his picture interest. He must have been a Sunday-school boy in his early days.
Jack Johnson, king of the fisticic arena, is the most wonderful human fighting machine that the world has ever produced. He proved conclusively in the arena at Reno, Nev., on the fateful afternoon of July the Fourth, before an immense crowd of spectators that filled the circling seats which rose above tier into the vast amphitheatre that would have done Rome credit in the palmest days of her gladiatorial combats, that he was the master of any living man as a fisticic gladiator, a veritable fighting demigod without an equal on earth. He proved that he has not a near approach for an equal.
Verily Johnson has, from the viewpoint of his profession, won his spurs. Deservedly does he wear the laurel wreath of victory. By indomitable pluck and unswerving fidelity to his cherished ambition he has fought his way to the top, and there he stands dreaded, fathomless and alone. His is a prowess that is the enigma of the world; a prowess that is the despair of those who are wild, so to speak, to solve it; a prowess that has never been put to the limit of endurance; a prowess that challenges the admiration of all manly men, though its sequel is locked up in the impenetrable recesses of his own knowl-
yesterday won the fight at Reno. Johnson won his title of world's champion honestly and easily. Having done that the world was searched for the man to take it from him, and Jeffries, handicapped as he was by six years of fat accumulating idleness, was selected as the invincible white. From the beginning there were many persons who refused to believe that the boilermaker could undo by any system of training the weakening effects of his non-athletic life. To these his defeat was no surprise.
Those who have watched Johnson assert that he has never yet been forced to show the best that is in him. In spite of his non conclusive contest with Langferd, he has been described as a fighter who always has something of strength, skill and endurance to fall back on. That he played with Tommy Burns should not be cited in support of this; Burns as a champion was only one degree less ridiculous that Marvin Hart, who was elected by the humorous Jeffries as his successor. The statement depends for proof on the general record of Johnson.
There is no white man now in sight to question seriously Johnson's title. Langford might beat him. But when are they to fight? And would a contest between two blacks arouse the enthusiasm of any considerable number of persons, outside the habitual followers of fistcuffs?
THE SOUTHERN VIEW.
Nashville, American
Nothing is more natural than the jubilation of the Negroes over the supremacy of one of their race in the prize ring, and it is good to see them exult, decently and sonerly. Only a few of them have been offensive to people who are considerate and appreciate the joy with which adoicile and tractable people contemplate the demonstration of cleverness, prowess and courage by one of their number. Of course, there are fool Negroes and fool white men, who will trouble with themselves if they cannot have it with one another, but it is an outrage to breach the peace and precipitate a near-riot simply because a Negro yells, "Hurrah for Johnson!" Our information is that, instead of trying to avoid disturbances, the whites have demonstrated that they are not good losers. As for the Johnson victory having any tendency to make the Negroes violent, it is not likely in this session, whatever may be the result in Northern communities. They have been taught better down here, and ninety-nine in every 100 have learned the lesson well. If Jack should lick forty Jeffs, the Southerners are not going to call Negroes mister, lift their hats to them, or get off the sidewalk for them. For this reason, the Southerners should be all the more disposed to treat them fairly in this matter and view with equanimity their rejoicing.
edge. The man is an unknown equation. He is a modern Samson, but, unlike the old Israelite, he can be neither coaxed nor deceived by persistent and tireless inquisitors into telling the secret of his great strength or wonderful stamina.
Well, the Jeffries, prognosticators, scothsayers, astrologers, hoodooers and conjurers fell down, from pinnacle to curbstone with no intervening and friendly obstruction to break the force of their fall. It was a clean descent, as it were in a vacuum, with every particle of the law of gravity working as by a charm. The world heard them drop, and the noise they made was a dull thud, one of those sickening sights that makes the heart of the spectator beat rapidly as he turns away his eyes to keep from witnessing the impact. It was awful for the fellows who were bubbling over with a confidence that was akin to certainty when the end came. With the shattering of their idol went their reputation as prophets and their filthy lucre. Their odds against Johnson were like his odds as a peerless gladiator over Jeffries.
The world, the entire world, from center to periphery, knows all about that "yellow streak" of Johnson's. It runs rampart through ever fibre of his being—he is surcharged with it. There are those who are permanently divorced from every dime they had, whose name and numbers are legion, who now devoutly wish that Jeffries, their idol and defender, had possessed an equal amount of the "yellow streak" that romps through or plays hide and seek in Johnson's anatomy. From the story of the battle, as written by friends of Jeffries, it is idle to even try to conjure up the belief or pretense that at any time in his so-called pulissant career that he was ever the equal, or near equal, of that masterful, overpowering, crushing black dreadnaught or fighting wizard, John Arthur Johnson, as he proved to be in the memorable Fourth of July. This wonder of all the centuries came out of the world-heralded combat with his much-vaulted foe without a scratch and fit for two more antagonists the
equal of Jeffries and then be within the limit of his original forty-five rounds as scheduled. As by an exact rule, Jack Johnson consistently, persistently, irresistibly, coldly and methodically beat Jim Jeffries, the undefeated idol, from his pedestal, then into contrite submissiveness and finally into pitiable insensibility. This is the story his friends tell to the world in their account of the meeting of the two men in what was to be "the battle of the centuries."
Jim Corbett with his flippant jeering was no match for the repartee of smiling, confident Jack. While Corbett was trying to disconcert and ratte Jack, the latter was sysmatically cutting Jeff to pieces. He was breaking Corbett's heart even more than that of the man he was facing by that awful left hand which had been so much ridiculed and derided. He had always fooled and he more than fooled them here. Beside Jack's left Jeffries' left was that of a child's. Jack's master mind and his strategy had won again. His traps never spring in vain. Never!
The defeat of Jeffries, like a hideous nightmare, will for a long time disturb the minds and dreams of many, but none as much as Corbett's; and with some it will, to their dying day, rise up and stalk abroad, like a sheet ghost, to haunt their memory. The world now bows to the truth, with some an oppressive truth, that its heavyweight champion is, without question or doubt—JOHN ARTHUR JOHNSON—JADECEE.

Atoka County Normal has closed
ore of the mosi successful normals ta
the state. This normal, unlike most
of them for colored teachers of the
state, carried the four classes of sub-
jects for examination: state, county,
professional and reading clrele, ‘There
were teachers in altendance from all
parts of Oklahoma, and direct from
several states, because of these induce-
ments. No other state in, the Union
is in greater demand fot qualified,
moral characters and scholarship than
is this state. The future is, bright.
Women teachers here, as a tule, are
moral failures, We had enrotied
something over one hundred. A very
Jarge class registered for state and
professional certificates.
I. B. McCutcheon, formerly _con-
nected with Clarksville schools in
‘Tennessee, now principal of Atoka
High School, was conductor. Prof.
MeCutcheon is a ripe scholar and the
manner in which he conducted the
normal ar the yolume of work ac-
complished are evidential reasons for
believing that he has had Inrge ex:
erence asa school man. He has
made more rapid progress and in a
shorter time than any other man who
has ever entered the state, He has
won the confidence of his fellow teach-
ers_and school officials with which
he has come in contact.
The examination and grading of
papers was left solely to him assisted
by Prof. J. H. Davie, of the Wagner
School. Plans are being laid to have
250 teachers register next year. The
banquet was a special social feature
of the normal. It was held at St.
Bethel A. M. B. Church, of which Rey,

LONG, USEFUL CAREER ENDED
The shock, caused by the announcement of the death of Mrs. John Collins-Braden, the wife of the late Dr. John Braden, and mother of the esteemed Miss Mamie Braden, of Walden University, was a terrible one and caused profound sorrow in every home in Nashville.
Mrs. Braden, although advanced in years, had been feeble for the past eight or ten years, was known throughout the city, state and Southland. The work that she and her husband, the late Dr. John Braden, established is the greatest monument to the family history that could ever be erected. Walden University is that monument, and the thousands of students scattered throughout the United States, who finished from old Central Tennessee College, will see to it that the name of the Bradens will never die.
It was promptly at 7:30 o'clock
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1910.

GREAT BEYOND.
Wednesday morning, when this noble woman breathed her last surrounded by intimate friends and the only surviving child, Miss Mamie Braden, who for the past fifteen years or more has labored along the same line of educational work, practically taking up the mantle of her parents and planting herself in the hearts of the Negroes as only the Bradens can.
The funeral services of Mrs. John Collins Braden were held in Thompson Chapel on Thursday, July 7, 1910, at 3:00 o'clock p. m. A large audience of friends and ex-students came to pay their last respects to the deceased. Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry Medical College, and a life-long friend of the family, had charge of the services. After singing, Bishop C. H. Phillips offered a fervent prayer. The choir sang "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide." Rev. J. W. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the Clark Memorial Chapel, read the 90th Psalm. Dr. Hubbard read the obituary. He said that the memorial services would be held when all of the students could be there. Bishops E. Tyre of the A. M. E. Church; C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church; Dr. J. P. Cawford, the Grand Chancellor of the K. of P. of Tennessee; were the speakers, all of them being graduates of the Central Tennessee College and Meharry Medical College. The chorus sang "Jesus, lover of my soul." Dean H. H. Wright, of Fisk University, spoke on the life of Dr. and Mrs. Braden. Rev. J. W. Johnson, D. D., was the last speaker. The Committee on Resolutions read a beautiful tribute for the occasion, and the chorus sang "Rock of Ages, cleft for me." While the range and sorrowing audience passed to view the remains the chorus rendered "God be with you till we meet again." The honorary pall bearers were Mesdames Grant, McMillan, Scott, Tyre, Buford, Misses Smith and Moore. Pall bearers were Profs. J. I. Watson, J. P. Crawford, Drs. J. Elliott, H. T. Noel, R. F. Boyd, Mr. W. D. Hawkins, Lawyer J. W. Grant, Interment at Greenwood.

money. Some had entered suit against the order and others were threatening us. We not only did not have a cent to pay these claims, but were $700 short of the the $2,500 required by law to be deposited with the Insurance Commissioner to do business in the state. I was greatly handicapped by the chaotic condition of our affairs and the lack of records of the work and business or the order. I had no list of the names of the officers of the lodge and the courts, nor did I know the names and locations of the lodges and courts.
"These and many other embarrassing and unfavorable conditions confronted me. By your authority I organized and put on foot a good endowment system.
"Prof. T. P. Turner, Mrs. Susie J. Carter and Attorney James Bumpass have made a good, earnest and faithful Endowment Board and all the other officers you gave me have been true to the old flag. "We set the mark of our high calling in Jesus Christ, the first great Immaculate, and asked Him to be our leader.
"I am glad to tell you that He has brought us through. We are now on our feet and the report of the Endowment Bureau will show you just where we stand. Through your loyalty, the amount necessary to do business in this state was soon raised and our license was issued. Every claim that was regular and just was paid long ago, and every irregular claim that had any merit in it was compromised to the credit of our Order. At the last meeting of the Board every claim on file was ordered paid without emptying the treasure. Our order is now in a healthy condition, and only needs the loyal support of every memeber to make it the foremost and leading Negro organization for the uplift of our race. I call upon you, brothers, be as Jonathan and David in your friendship and devotion to one another."
Among the recommendations in the Grand Master's message was one urging that the order purchase or build an Immaculate Temple in Nashville, which shall be the permanent headquarters for Tennessee.
NEGRO PYTHIANS.
with a proposal by a very well-to-do member of the order in the western part of the state to donate the half of a tract of land of two hundred acres for a home and school. The meeting will be graced with the presence of the Supreme Grand Chancellor, S. W. Green, of New Orleans, La., who will spend several days at the sessions. The Grand Court of Calanthe will convene on the same date as the Grand Lodge, and their meetings will be very interesting also. The delegates from Nashville will leave here Monday over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. They will be joined by the delegates from the eastern part of the state.
THE Appalachian Exposition to be held in Knoxville, September 12th, to October 12th, inclusive will embrace eight states and will be the greatest show ever held. The colored building of this exposition will be one of the best ever seen and the exhibits will be second to none. The colored people will enjoy equal rights with all other people at the exposition. Exhibits wanted from all the Appalachian states and cash prizes given for every class of exhibit.
Rates of only one cent a mile to the exposition have been obtained throughout the country. Persons going to the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans or the B. M. C. at Baltimore will save money by going through Knoxville and have an opportunity to stop off and see the exposition at the same time.
For information regarding exhibits and rates, write DR. H. M. GREEN, Green Building, Knoxville, Tenn., or REV. H. A. BOYD, care Globe, Nashville, Tenn.

SOUTH PITTSBURG NOTES
Children's Day was observed at the A. M. E. Church, last Sunday evening at 8 o'clock p. m., under the management of Mrs. Emma Bivens. The exercise was a most interesting affair from start to finish. The little folks did credit to themselves as well as their instructress. Rev. W. H. Boddie, pastor, and Prof. H. B. Douglass, superintendent, made elaborate speeches concerning the Sunday-School Union, which is being fostered by the children of the A. M. E. Church. A creditable sum of money was realized.
Dr. W. J. Astrapp, who attended the State Medical Association which met in Knoxville, reports a most profitable meeting to the people as well as the physicians.
