THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. Denounces Action of the Republican Committee. BELIEVES IN REPUBLICAN PARTY—NOT WILLING TO BE USED AS TOOL OF HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES—ADMIRES BRAVE MEN WHO FIGHT IN THE OPEN—DOUBTS SINCERITY OF THE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS—WILL SUPPORT THE REGULARS. To the Republicans of Tennessee: Until within the last few days I have thought ever since the State Republican Executive Committee declined to allow the Republicans of the State to meet in convention, as they have for the last quarter of a century and nominate candidates for the Supreme Court, that I would take no interest in the contest between the Independent Democrats and the regular Democrats, except to vote for the candidates I preferred. But there are so many false reasons offered for a wholesale delivery of the Republican of the State of the bolters of the other party, and there is so little reason why a Republican should annex himself to that organization of political tradesmen, that in response to many personal letters from Republicans throughout the State on the subject, I have concluded to publicly declare what I think is the duty of a Republican in this contest. I am not unmindful of the fact that my statements may provoke unfriendly criticism from selfish politicians, but in these strenuous times when a small body of commercial publicists are attempting to barter party integrity and party honor to men who have deserted and betrayed the organization which gave them their political existence, I appeal to the manly men in the Republican party to hasten slowly. To the men in the Republican party who know nothing but slavish obedience to their political masters, this is not addressed. It is addressed to the manly men who think for themselves, and whose conduct in life commands the respect of their political friends and foes alike. LITTLETON'S LOGIC. "I do not believe the Republican party can build up a great organization by becoming the tail end of a bolt from the other party. * * * "The Republican State Executive Committee is attempting to deliver one hundred and thirty thousand Republicans to thirty thousand Democrats. * * * "I want to see the Republican nominee for Governor elected, but I want to see the Republican party in Tennessee enter the Capitol through the front door. "A victory won by bargain and compromise with the bolters and traitors of another party would be but temporary at most, while the odium of it would remain forever. "If these distinguished and honorable gentlemen (Enloe, Cates and others) become Republicans for the sake of winning this fight, will they stay in the Republican party, or will they bolt when they can't control it, as they bolted when they could not control their own party?" "The Republican State Committee has no power to select Republican candidates; that power is in the Republican masses. It is therefore' foolish to suggest that the Committee had the power to select Democratic candidates for the Republican masses to support. * * * "Most men admire a brave, open enemy; but a wise man will not accept and trust as an ally the treacherous partner of his avowed foe. * * * "If the greed for power and the love for official place will purchase the loyalty of men, they can not be trusted * * * "The Independent candidates are 'Independents,' because they could not NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910. be nominated. They are bargaining for temporary admission to the Republican party because they deserted the Democratic party when they found they could not control it. * * * * "With fairminded people the war is over. The Federal and Convederate soldiers and their children and their grandchildren have a common honor and heritage in the glorious chivalry of the soldiers of both armies, but these unreasoning and unreasonable fanatics, who live on hate and feed on spite and prejudice could not for the moment conceal their contempt for a man (Judge Felix W. Moore) who fought under the American flag. * * * * "So far as I am concerned, I shall vote against every Independent on the ticket, and for every Democratic nominee, and I believe the Republicans in the State who acknowledge no master, except their own consciences, will do the same. * * * * "By what process of reasoning can any sensible Republican reach the conclusion that these men (the Independents) will be loyal to the Republican party when they have been false to their own party? "What good will a fair election law do the Republican party if it is required to not run candidates and is deprived of the right to even hold a convention?" GRAND COURT OF CALANTHE. The meeting of the Grand Court of Calanthe was an assemblage of beauty, culture and refinement such as proud Tennessee only can boast of. The ladies were there from the classic banks of the Nollachucky, from the rugged mountains, from the hills of the central basin and from the plains that skirt the Forked Deer. The grace and vivaciousness of every nook and corner of the state were there. Matron and maiden, the very flower of Tennessee's womanhood, all embud profoundly with the spirit of Fidelity harmony and love. Dyersburg was at its best doing the honors as only that little West Tennessee city knows how to do, so generously and graciously. Everything that could promote the ease and welfare of the visitors was done with pleasure by the inhabitants of that thriving town. The reports of the different officials showed that much care and forethought had been exercised; each one was complete even to the minute detail. The presence of Supreme Chancellor Green and Supreme Attorney Watkins was much appreciated. The Grand Court showed them many courtesies. Dr. R. F. Boyd, Grand Worthy Counsellor, read his address and at its conclusion, was tumultuosly applauded. So highly pleased was the Grand Court that a motion was made and carried to suspend the rules and elect him by acclamaion, which was speedily done. The Supreme Attorney, afterwards said that this could not legally be done until all of the Court's business had been concluded. The election was rescinded by the Grand Court, all feeling that the same result would be attained later. All questions of appeals and grievances which were brought to the attention of the Supreme officers were invariably decided in favor of the Grand Grand Worthy Counsellor. In other words, he was sustained in all of his contentions. During all of the discussion the utmost good feeling prevailed; not one word was spoken in anger. Nothing done to mar the serenity of the occasion. The gratifying report of Grand Worthy Receiver of Deposits developed that two thousand one hundred eighty-three dollars and eighty-four cents was in the Grand Court Treasury, eight thousand six hundred thirty-two dollars and thirty-one cents of endowment funds, making a total of ten thousand eight hundred sixteen dollars and fifteen cents. The Secretary of the Endowment Department reported six thousand financial members. During the sessions addresses were made by the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Attorney. All the old officials were re-elected as follows: Dr. R. F. Boyd, G. W. C., Nashville; Mrs. Abbie Saunders, G. W. I., Memphis; Mrs. Mary E. Miller, G. W. I., Nashville; Mrs. Cora E. Burke, G. W. R., Knoxville; Mrs. Clemmie White, G. W. R. Dep., Nashville; Miss Virginia B. Soward, G. W. O., Millington; Mrs. M. A. Turner, Secretary Endowment, Pulaski; N. N. Reynolds, G. W. L., Pulaski; Dr. C. O. Hunter, G. M. Reg., Columbia; Mrs. Nannie Shelby, G. W. Matron, Nashville. ANNUAL PIGNIC NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD Takes Place at Greenwood Park. EMPLOYEES WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS HAVE BIG TIME—FRESH AIR AND PLENTY OF PURE WATER ENJOYED BY THE PICKNICKERS—CROWD ENTERTAINED BY CONTESTANTS IN ATHLETIC STUNTS—RACES, BASEBALL, ETC., INDULGED IN. Nature smiled upon the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board and gave them a most delightful day for the celebration of their 7th annual picnic. The day dawned clear and gright with a breeze blowing like the fall fall of the year, so very cool was it. Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Publishing Board, had said in the chapel on Monday that he would pray for a good day for them, an they say that "the prayers of the righteous availeth much." Great preparation had been made to make this the most enjoyable of the annual outings. Street cars were chartered to take the entire force, their friends and families to Greenwood Park, where the picnic was held. Promptly at 9 o'clock the crowd left the corner of Jo Johnston and Third avenue, North in the special cars and at 9:40 they were at the park, where the sport and pleasure was begun. The First Baptist Church Sunday School, of which Mr. J. D. Creshaw is superintendent and Rev. W. S. Ellington pastor, also came to the park, and swelled the already jolly crowd. They came out in wagons, reaching the grounds about 10:45. The hills, with the beauty of nature on them, the valleys with sparkling springs from the earth, the plateau on which the bluest grass grows, all made up for a day long to be remembered. There were more than a hundred baskets laden with the best edibles of the season. A more delightful day has not been seen for picnicking for many a year. The morning was spent in roaming over the forty acres until dinner was announced, then the real fun began. They ate till they could eat no more. There were cream and lemonade to satisfy the thirst. After this, Mr. J. H. Kelly, chairman of the Amusement Committee, pulled off some fine numbers on his attractive program. There was lots of racing, the fat, the lean, the long, and the short with the young and the old. There were prizes given in each race. Nothing daunted the spirits of those outdoor pleasure-seekers, and picnickers from the Publishing House of the Baptists of his city. Later in the day traps and turnouts came until the park was literally lined with Nashville's best. The merry-go-round and the skating rink offered lots of fun for those who liked that kind of amusements. No picnic this year has been a greater success from a pleasure viewpoint than this one at Greenwood Park last Tuesday. The following contributed the many prizes which were given in the contests: water set, sugar set and berry set, Hamilton Furniture Company; box of paper, Davie Printing Company; toilet set, H. G. Hill; 1 ton of coal, Perry & Lester; Sunday-school books, Cumberland Presbyterian Publishing Company; vest, Askin & Marine; knife, Keith-Simmons Company; box of soap, Tulane Pharmacy; stick pin, Stief Jewelry Company; box of candy, Mitchel; box of candy, Boyd & Battle; cigars, Doc Watkins, M. D. Dwiggins, Joe Woodfolk, Graham Paper Company. Money collected bought candy for the young ladies. The sessions of the Grand Court passed off harmoniously; not one discordant voice was in evidence. The discussion of the essential topics was very dignified, the participants showing themselves to be gifted with much erudition and ease of expression. The next session of the Grand Court will be held in Chattanooga. ELNORA DEATH OF LILLIAN ABERNATHY. One of the saddest deaths recently was that of Miss Lillian Elnora Abernathy, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Abernathy, of Twelfth avenue, South, this city. She died of the much dreaded typhoid fever last Friday morning. July 15th at 9:40 o'clock. The funeral took place at the home of her fond parents on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Pall bearers, chosen from her mates were Misses Bessie Rhodes, Harriet E Hill, Anna Young, Anna Couch, Mary Liggons, Elliza Collier, Mary Page and Martha Caldwell. Services as conducted by Rev. Preston Tavlor were beautiful and touching. The music, by Mrs. Taylor, one of the original Jubilee Singers, assisted by a quartette from Howard Chapel choir was very appropriate. Lovely floral designs by classmates school and friends of her parents were many and beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy wish to thank their many friends, white and colored, among whom were Sam Orr, Mrs. John Thompson, Misses De-Moville, Miss Morgan and Miss Rhea, for their many acts of sympathy and love during this great bereavement. BISHOP EVANS TYREE ADDRESS ES Y. M. C. A. The members and friends of the Young Men's Christian Association were highly benefited last Sunday at the First Baptist Church by having the great question, "Are Our Young Men Making Good?" discussed by Bishop Evans Tyree. By four o'clock the church was full of people anxiously awaiting the answer. The song services lasted fully thirty minutes after which Dr. A. Brooks, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church read for the scripture lesson the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes. Prayer was offered by Rev W. H. Fort. The president of the association was introduced who spoke for fifteen minutes concerning the three-fold nature of the work of the association—spiritual, physical and intellectual. The chairman then introduced the speaker as "a Christian gentleman in the person of Right Rev. Evans Tyree." Bishop Tyree on beginning said, "On leaving my field of work in Texas, my people admonished me to come home and rest and I promised them that I would, but how can I when young men are calling for me?" He selected as the theme of his argument these words: "Is the young man Absolom safe?" and after a brief discussion of the life of David and Absolom relative to the question, he dropped the word Absolom and asked: "Is the young man safe?" Thus approaching his subject: "Are our Young Men Making Good?" At this time he produced figures enumerating the number of banks in operation by the Negroes, the number of practising physicians most of whom are the younger men of the race, the per centage of literacy among our people and he referred to the many inventions, especially calling attention to the fact that few pieces of machinery were in operation in this country today a part of which did not have the Negro's patent. Continuing Bishop Tyree said, "I think the Negro is making good and as fast as is best for him, for two reasons, first, they do not want to see each other progress and secondly, the other race don't like to see him succeed too fast." The large and appreciative audience was held spell-bound so much so that they cheered even in the midst of his sermon. A collection of $21.05 was raised and it was afterwards found that one one had given a spurious half-dollar in the collection which left a net of $20.55. We believe that the half-dollar was given by mistake and feel safe in asking the giver to call upon Prof. H. A. Cameron, the treasurer of the association, and he will return the same. The young men are making every effort to finish the $40.00 rally by Sunday. Subject for Sunday. "Does it Pay to Give," (Luke 6:38.) Meeting 3 o'clock p. m., rooms 447 Fourth avenue, North. The Social Committee met Tuesday evening and elected its officers as follows: Mr. Ernest Alexander Secretary; Mr. Chas, Powell, Treasurer; Mr. Jesse Fite, Social Reporter. The chairman, Mr. W. H. Hollins, opened the discussion of a social which will be arranged for the first Wednesday in August. It is the aim of this committee to plan entertainments for the association from time to time that will tend to stimulate interest in the work and be beneficial to its members. No.29 STATE BAPTISTS IN SESSION AT COLUMBIA THIS WEEK. Baptists From Every Quarter attending. PRESIDENT SEARCY DELIVERS AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS—CONVENTION URGED TO GREATER ACTIVITY ALONG ALL LINES MISSIONS AND EDUCATION THE SLOGAN OF ALL DELEGATES GOOD REPORTS FROM ALL THE BOARDS—MANY VISITORS. Columbia, Tenn., July 20, 1910.—Columbia, the county seat of Maury County, the center of the phosphate district with its historic record is entertaining the Twenty-third Annual Session of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee this week. The convention is being held in the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church located on the corner of Glade and Eighth streets. This church has the distinction of being the oldest Negro Baptist church in the State of Tennessee, being organized in 1844, making it sixty-six years old. The first pastor was Rev. Edmond Kelly, who was one of the seven charter members in the organization. Rev. Kelly was the father of Prof. J. H. Kelly, principal of the city schools for thirty-four years of this city, and an uncle of Prof. J. W. Johnson, the president of Roger Williams University, of Nashville, Tenn. Prominent divines from all over the state are here. They came over in large numbers this morning yet a goodly number came over last night. The officers of the convention have served for the past twelve months with credit to the organization. They are as follows: President, Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., Memphis, Tenn.; First Vice President, Rev. G. .B Taylor, Nashville, Tenn.; Second Vice President, Rev. A. L. Bartlett, Memphis, Tenn.; Third Vice President, Rev. S. T. Eldridge, Knoxville, Tenn.; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. E. M. Lawrence, Nashville, Tenn.; Recording Secretary, Prof. W. S. Thompson, Nashville, Tenn.; Assistant Recording Secretary, Rev. G. P. Woodson, Paris, Tenn.; Treasurer, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Nashville, Tenn.; Statistical Secretary, J. Thomas Turner, Nashville, Tenn. There seems to be no disposition on the part of the delegates to change the present roster. The convention proper was called to order at 1. o'clock a. m. by Rev T. J. Searcy, D. D., the President. Dr. Searcy made some very interesting remarks, then thirty minutes were given over to devotion, conducted by Revs. P. B. Broughton, Chattanooga, and J. P. Johnson, of Dayton. Thirty minutes were given to short talks. At 110'clock a. m., Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., the pastor of the Sylvan Street Baptist Church, of Nashville; preached the Introductory Sermon; the Rev. J. H. Maston, of Chattanooga, was an alternate for the speaker. The sermon was very appropriate for the convention. The feature of the afternoon session of he convention was the annual address of President Searcy, which was delivered at 4 o'clock p. m., before a large audience, creating a profound impression upon he entire delegation. The report of the Executive Board was also made at this session. The welcome by the Rev. J. B. Spralling, the pastor of the church, who is entertaining the convention and the response by Rev. A. B. Rogers, of Knoxville, with a Doctrinal Sermon by Rev. Wm. Underwood, of Shelbyville, closed the first day's session. Second Day-Morning Session, July 21, 1910. Devotions conducted by Revs. N. B.

ST. BERNARD MINING CO. JAS. R. LOVE, Mgr. 6 PHONES 34-36 ARCADE 2 NATIONAL WOMEN SELECT OF FICERS. Louisville, Ky.—At the election of officers of the W. A. of C. W. Cubs which has just closed its fourteenth session, which was held at the C. M. E. Church on Chestnut street, the following officers were chosen for the next two years: Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, of New Bedford, Mass., President; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Vice President; Miss Ida R. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md., Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. M. E. Stewart, of Louisville, Ky., First Recording Secretary; Miss Ida Joyce Jackson, Frankfort, Ky., Treasurer; Miss Lillian Scott, of Indianapolis, Ind., National Organizer; Mrs. Catherine D. Tillman, Pasadena, Cal., Chairman of Ways and Means Committee; Miss Josephine E Holmes, Marshall, Texas, Auditor; Mrs. Mary V. Parrish, Louisville, Ky. Statistician. The various committees were also named, which completes the regular list of the working force for the next two years. One of the meetings of the Association was held in the mammoth armory in which the public took part, this being the first time the armory had been used by colored people. Several magnificent receptions were given during the five days' stay of the delegates, who came from every part of the United States. In the contest for the next place of meeting Baltimore and Los Angeles ran Hampton a close race, but the Virginia educational town won by a close vote. There were more than three hundred delegates present at this meeting, which was the best ever held, both in point of attendance and work accomplished. The greatest of harmony prevailed throughout. Special mention was made of the work done by the women in Tennessee, who made a fine showing with the five delegates sent from the Volunteer State. They reported a State Federation of twenty-three clubs and one city federation of thirteen clubs, all organized since the last national meeting. DON'T LIKE THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL PICTURES That certain pictures which the lithographers have made up to send out to the various religious publishing houses for their use in the Sunday-school literature for 1911 do not suit some of the Negro publishing houses, and that they have asked the lithographers for other proofs, was learned this week when Rev. R. H. Boyd, of the Baptist Publishing Board, and Prof. Ira T. Bryant, of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union, held a conference which is said to have lasted over a half day, discussing the matter. While neither of them will discuss the matter it is stated that they really took action and will ask the two other Negro religious publishing THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910 houses, the C. M. E. House at Jackson, Tenn., and the A. M. E. Zion House at Charlotte, N. C., to join them in making a demand for other pictures that will come nearer bearing directly on the lessons to be taught. Not even the Educational Secretary of the Baptist House, Rev. W. S. Ellington, would say just which of the pictures did not suit his board. It seems to be their purpose to look to the best interest of their schools in these Bible studies. These new pictures were not agreed upon at the Rome Convention some three years ago when the Baptist people had a representative present. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION EN- DORSES NEGRO DOLLS. Louisville, Ky.—With a unanimous vote, showing that they were in favor of "Negro dolls for Negro children," the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs which met in this city last week, went on record as favoring such by passing a strong resolution, which declares that this is the toy of their choice for the race. Mrs. W. A. Lewis, of Nashville, Tenn., the wife of Rev. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Church of the A. M. E. Church, after making her report, offered a strong resolution in which she was joined by Mesdames G. L Jackson, A. O. Kenney, J. C. Napier and A. T. Landers, recommending the use of these dolls in the homes of every woman of the race. No sooner had the resolution been offered than a dozen or more women were on their feet to support it. They were from various states and showed by their talk that the matter had already been up in several state federations for a favorable consideration. The President of the National Association, Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, of New Bedford, Mass., made an eloquent speech in behalf of the dolls. The resolution was passed and a motion was made to have the National Negro Doll Company, of Nashville send a full exhibit to the next session which meets in Hampton, Va., in 1912, as many present had not seen the real article. EXCELLENT CONCERT AT ST JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The young people of St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday-School under the leadership of Miss Lizzie Dickerson, rendered a concert at the church last Monday night that has never been excelled in this city by non-professionals. Every one present went away expressing words of highest praise for each one that participated in the exercises of the evening. The first piece on program was a jubilee chorus, entitled "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," which was rendered in that touching manner so characteristic of the jubilee music. Mr. J. W. Wyatt offered prayer. The None-Such male quartet rendered a choice Jubilee selection and had to re- spond to an encore. The oration by Mr. J. H. Ferguson was a masterpiece. Though young in years, he handled his subject like a battle-scarred veteran. The instrumental solo by Miss Mary J. Wright was another good selection. Femare quartette: Misses A. L. Glover, G. H. Moore, M. L. Glover and L. A. Moore; vocal solo by Mr. C. T. Harwell; the instrumental solo by Miss Ivy Wyatt and the declamation by Deland Nesbitt were all excellently rendered. A mixed double quartette, Miss Lowe, Miss Wells, Miss Scott, Miss Brooks, Mr. Harwell, Mr. Nesbit, sang "The Old Oaken Bucket" tastefully. A selection that took the whole house by storm was the reading of Miss Myrtle Buford. She acquitted herself most excellently. The chorus, "I couldn't hear nobody pray" was immensely enjoyed. Instrumental solo by Miss Robia Mai Wyatt was the best heard in St. John in many a day. Selection by None-Such Quartette. The crowning climax of the evening was the vocal solo by Master Alexander Romas. He sang with ease and grace and in a clear silver tenor electrified the audience. He was compelled to sing the same song twice. Instrumental solo by Miss A. Cross was far above the average and shows clearly that the young miss had a great future. Chorus, "Steal away to Jesus" closed the exercise of the evening. The manual training exhibit was excellent from every point of view and was a grand success. The premiums were not awarded owing no doubt to the closeness of the contest. The spectators were highly pleased with the showing made by the children. WILLIAM JAMES PRESCRIBES AN OCCUPATION FOR OUR GIL- DED YOUTH. William James, in his article on "The Moral Equivalent of War," in the August McClure's, gives his idea of a system that would strengthen the moral and physical fiber of the young man as effectually as would military discipline. "If now," he declares, "there were, instead of military conscription, a conscription of the whole youthful population to form for a certain number of years a part of the army enlisted against nature, the injustice would tend to be evened out, and numerous other benefits to the commonwealth would follow. The military ideals of hardihood and discipline would be wrought into the growing fiber of the people; no one would remain blind, as the luxurious classes now are blind, to man's real relations to the globe he lives on, and to the permanently solid and hard foundations of his higher life. To coal and iron mines, to freight trains, to fishing fleets in December, to dish-washing, clothes-washing and window-washing, to road-building and tunnet-making, to foundries and stoke-holes, and to the frames of sky-scrapers, would our glided youths be drafted off, accord- ing to their choice, to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas. They would have paid their blood-tax, done their part in the immemorial human warfare against nature; they would tread the earth more proudly; the women would value them more highly; they would be better fathers and teachers of the following generation." WHAT'S IN McCLURES. A brilliant account of George V, written in Sidney Brooks' most able style, heads the list of articles in the August McClure's, and brings out a number of interesting facts about the personal character of England's unknown King. Burton J. Hendricks, in "Oxygenizing a City," describes Chicago's great fight for fresh air, which has revolutionized the ventilation of the city's schools and tenements. Louise Parks Richards contributes some remarkable psychological studies of the men and women who are taking part in the Passion Play at Oberammergau. The third installment of "Senator Piatt's Autobiography" is the highly interesting account of the fifteen-year fight of the Republican machine against Tammany; and William James contributes a strong article on "The Moral Equivalent of War." The August fiction is unusually successful. Among the stories are "Shela," one of a Western series by George Pattullo; "The Fifth of October," a love story by Mary Shipman Andrews; "A Cup of Cocoa," a story of African adventure by Eleanor stuart; "The Steamer Child," by Elisse Singmaster; and another John Thorndyke detective story. Charles Livingston Buil contributes a series of beautiful drawings in color. AS EASY TO WRITE A LIE AS TO TELL IT. Senator Platt, in his autobiography in the August McClure's tells how Colonel Strong broke his election pledges. "In the winter of 1894," he says, "while Mayor-elect Strong was making up his cabinet, there came an irresistible demand for a change in the charmanship of the republican County Committee. Though the combined power of the incoming municipal administration was arrayed against us, we finally succeeded in executing Mr. Edward Lauterbach over William Brookfield by a small plurality. That gave me and my friends more absolute control of the New York County organization than at any time since I was made the State leader of the party. "That Strong deliberately repudiated his contract was snow when, after his appointments were announced, Lauterbach, as chairman of the County Committee, onered a formal protest, and hung in Strong's face the written evidence of his penny. "Strong ha-na-ed and retorted: "Well, I can write a lie as easily as I can tell one. I am independent of you now, you know. "The 'cuss' words that Lauterbach then applied to Strong would burn the cover on this book. "Strong, like Hayes and Hughes, was another of the fellows that wore a little bunch of whiskers under his chin. One effect of my experience with him was to call for a barber and have my beard trimmed close, and studiously to avoid permitting the growth of any tuff on my neck." WORK ON EXTENSION BEGUN. WORK ON EXTENSION BEGUN. The work on the extension of the street car line from Mt. Olivet Cemetery to Greenwood Park was begun on Monday morning. The contractor and a large force of men were on the ground early, and promptly at 9 9 o'clock Rev. Preston Taylor, who has worked so hard on this much needed project, threw out the first shovel of dirt. There is nothing now but the the real dirt-throwing and rock blasting heard or seen along the pike. Assurance is given that the work will be pushed as rapidly as the weather will permit, in order to have the cars run to the gates of Greenwood Park by Labor Day, when a grand celebration and opening is planned. CLOSED ONE DAY ONLY. Owing to having to make some very much-needed repairs in the boiler, engine and machinery, Secretary Ira T. Bryant, of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, closed the manufacturing department of the Methodist Publishing House all day Monday, but all the employees resumed their work on Tuesday morning and are now getting out their work and orders as before, with the hope of catching up early this quarter. DEAD, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Special to the Globe and Friends: Special to the Globe and Press Memphis, Tenn., July 18.—The members and friends of Avery Chapel, Memphis, Tenn., on Sunday, July 3rd, had memorial services for the late Rev. Wm. Flagg. A handsome purse was also sent the family. Rev. Flagg was pastor of Avery a few years ago. THE THRONE CHAIR Center Pulgt Chair No. 68. Golden oak. Highth 5 ft.; width 25 lu.

Miller.) Seventy-six miles north of Memphis, in the richest farming section of the state, is Dyersburg, the most progressive city on the I. C. between Memphis and Paducah. As one alights at the beautiful and modern station his eyes fall on a large sign-board upon which is printed in flowing letters: "Population 7,520," thus showing the boosting propensity of its citizens. After taking into account the source of her boasted superiority and noting the reasons thereof, we turned our attention to the colored citizens who compose more than one-third of this city's population. These sons of toil are found in large numbers in all the hardwood mills, of which there are many, turning spokes, making barrel staves, boxes. They are the bone and sinew of the many cotton gins that dot the city here and there. Interwoven as they are into the city life, it is easy to see why they are so progressive and content. Among the men or color who are making good, Mr T. G. Robinson easily takes first rank. This young man, still on this side of fifty, has worked his way up this ladder until he now controls, in his own right, real estate and cash far in excess of $25,000. Mr. Robinson is Superintendent of the Dyersburg District of the National Life and Insurance Co., in the employ of which he worked himself from agent to lifts present position at the head of a force of ten men, handling more, than $1,500 monthly for the above company. He is also treasurer of the Pythian Endowment Board, being one of the few able to give a cash bond of $1,000. Dr. A. A. Grunlee stands at the head of the medical profession and might be called the dean of the same by reason of his long time residence and personal push. Dr. Grunlee has identified himself with every interest of the colored people and is a leader in church and fraternal work. He has a beautiful home in a very popular portion of the city. Dr. J. B. Clay, who is well and favorably known for his loyalty and love for the race, is a young man of whom all are justly proud. He is a leader in his profession and is putting aside for a rainy day. In the schoolroom one finds Prof. Albert Collins, assisted by Misses Tumbanks, Turner and Fowlkes, doing most excellent service and in every way possible trying to put principles of right in the minds of the young. A most pleasing thing about the school work in this city is that three of the assistants are products of the school and remarkable examples of what the school stands for and the policy of the school officials. Rev. S. P. Miller, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, is the oldest minister in the city when active service and residence are considered. This man of God seems to have a firm hold on the flock over which he ministers and is honored and respected by the citizens at large. Johnson Chapel C. M. E. Church claims Rev. Hutson, a strong and forceful character, as its pastor. He and his congregation are striving hard to raise money with which to build a new church. Under his leadership they ought to succeed. Rev. Joe Bishop has charge of the Presbyterian Church and is doing some effective work. Though the youngest in years of service he stands high in the ranks of the faithful workers for Christ and his church. In a business way strides are being made along several lines. Flowers & Atkins is a strong and progressive grocery firm enjoying a large patronage. Roberts & Co. have a large and up-to-date grocery store where every delicacy can be found. There is also a well-regulated butcher shop connected with the above store. No less than twenty colored insurance agents have their headquarters in this hustling city, from which they go into a large portion of West Tennessee. As home-owners Dyersburg's colored population is a marvel. It is safe to say that not less than two-thirds of them own or are purchasing the homes in which they live. In one section, Future City, they have bought not less than ninety lots on which many have erected cottages. There is in Dyersburg a network of lodges—Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythians, U. B. F., Mosaics, Sons of Tabor and ladies' auxiliaryes connected with each. It is easy to see that in health, sickness or death the colored brother is prepared for any emergency. It would not be just to close this article without stating that Dyersburg claims a master workman in the person of Mr. M. F. Southern, who lives in a two-story mansion of his own construction and is able to point out his labors from one end of the city to the other. Whenever a technical job in carpentry is to be finished the owner is satisfied to know that Millard F. Southern is there. Mr. John P. Hale is a thorough citizen in every sense of the term. He is known from one end of Tennessee THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910. to the other as a man or sterling integrity. He is a genial Christian gentleman and is high in Pythian circles. Mr. Omer Thomas, God bless him, a tuer race man never lived. He made it his business to see that the Globe man was made comfortable and happy. Mr. Thomas is one of Dyersburg's leading colored citizens. Dyersburg is truly the oasis in the desert of life and to its citizenry we humbly say give all the honor and glory, as they certainly deserve it. Long live Dyersburg! SUNDAY CROWD AT SMYRNA. About three coaches of people left the Union Depot last Sunday morning for Smyrna. Tenn., to witness the installation of Rev. J. B Cumby as the pastor of the Mt. Zion Church, of that little burg. Most of them were old residences of Smyrna or had relatives down there. A most delightful day was spent. Dinner was served to all. Rev. C. H. Clark preached two able sermons and a good collection for the day was reported. The rain in the evening did not keep the crowd at home. The church was not large enough to hold the people who came over to hear the speaker. MRS. W. A. LEWIS REPORTS This afternoon at the meeting of the City Federation of Women's Clubs Mrs. W. A. Lewis, who has just returned from the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, will make an elaborate report on what the Association accomplished this session. Tennessee was also represented by some other delegates. This meeting is to be held at St. John A. M. E. Church on Cedar street. RETURNS FROM LOUISVILLE. Mrs. Maria C Kenney spent last week in Louisville attending the National Association of Colored Women. She is a member of the executive board and superintendent of one of the departments. The daily papers published a most interesting article concerning her. She was asked by representatives of the National Association, which is composed of some of the greatest educators of the country, such as Professors of Cornell, Columbia, and other colleges of the North, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. DuBois, John Hope, of the South, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and others, to speak for them. If the invitation is accepted, the address will be delivered early in the new year in New York City. BRITHDAY PARTY. Mrs. Carrie Johns gave a birthday party in honor of her daughter, Alberta Mary, at the residence, 418 Fifteenth avenue, North. Games and dancing were the features of the evening. A delightful menu was served, consisting of ices. Those present were Jimella Mai Batts, Nannie Mai Brooks, Sallie Dee Watkins, Lena B. Bush, Amy L. Billips, Willa Mai Hodge, Florence Davis, Pauline Cason, Mamie Reed, Estella Davis, Mabel Paschal, Alameda Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Douglass Johns, of Chicago, Messrs. Frank Webb, Lucius Webb, Herbert Petway, Hoyt Cooper, Theophilus Boyd, Walter Brooks, Abraham L. Moore, Rufus Hill, Dave Poxley, Summerfield Batts, George Thompson, Thomas Baxter and Bryant Hodge. CALL FOR THE CITY FEDERA TION The City Federation is called to meet at Spruce Street Baptist Church Friday at 4 o'clock p. m., 1910. This date is taken as the regular time would throw us back with the work. The Federation is trying to get the children off the streets Sunday afternoons and to get them into Sunday-schools. A very good start has been made by Mrs. W. O. Tate and other, and they now have more than forty. We aim to have one in every section of the city. The ladies of the Federation are exerting themselves to hold fill up every Sunday-scool and to encourage full attendance in the day schools. A Mothers' Meeting is being worked up which will prove very helpful to all mothers. Delegates are back from the national meeting, and they have much of interest to tell you. Everybody please be present at 4 o'clock sharp. MRS. G. L. JACKSON, President. MRS. A. M. TOWNSEND, Sec'y LEFT FOR TEXAS After having spent more than two weeks here, the guest of her sister, Mrs. H. T. Kealing, Miss Lou Anna Shaw, of Philadelphia, Pa., left Thursday morning for a visit to her mother, father and relatives who live at Austin, Tex. Miss Shaw took with her little Carrie Kealing, one of the daughters of Rev. and Mrs. H. T. Kealing, of Eighteenth avenue, North. DEATH OF H. P. MORRIS.

PROMINENT MEN SPEAK OUT ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Manager of the A.M.E. Sunday-School Union Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., Says: Dr. R. H. Boyd, Manager of the National Baptist Publishing House, at Nashville, Tenn., Says: Mr. Editor: In this day of "untrammmelled judiciary" and "lily white Republicanism" indeed noble of our two leading colored newspapers to take such a manly stand for the rights of the race leaning upon them as their especial champions. Your brilliant editorials have in them that ring which is wonderfully pleasing to every Negro save him who has yet some antiquated, maudlin sentiment to overcome or some political ax to grind. Your broad, catholic spirit is accentuated in that you permitted to appear in your columns the following statement with its obvious innuendos and insinuations: "It is therefore as impossible for a man (Negro) to be a Republican and support the Democracy as it would be to change God's order of things and cause the sun to give light by night and the moon to shine by day. No, brethren, there is something else that has caused this indignation to come over your dreams. Will you not be candid and let us know what it really is?" Now such a statement as that ill befits a man of the character and intelligence of the writer. Since political reward consists principally in political jobs or tainted campaign money, it is clear that here is at least TO THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. As I am being constantly besieged by inquiries, both written and verbal, from all parts of the state of Tennessee for my personal views on the political situation. I beg space in the columns of your paper to make one answer to all and to say to the many Negro citizens, both the business men and the religious fraternities, that while it is true I am president of the Negro Business League of this city, president of the oldest Negro banking institution of the state and manager of the largest religious publishing concern operated by Negroes in America, I am not a politician. It is true I am a tax-paying citizen, a voter and a Negro, yet I am not now nor ever was an office-holder or seeker. I have been a life-long Republican, voting for U. S. Grant in his first presidential term, and have always voted that way down to and including President Taft. I am a firm believer in state-wide prohibition and in law enforcement, yet I am free and independent in my political views, and conscientiously believe that at this critical period it will be best for all Negro voters in the state of Tennessee that each make a careful study of the situation and vote for his own best interests. I find the following inquiry in the mail this morning: What of the Negro Voters of Ten- nessee? First—Will they all vote the straight Democratic ticket, or will any of them vote it? If so, why? Second—Have all the Negroes of voting age in Nashville or the state of Tennessee registered? And if so, can those who are ignorant or uneducated vote? If not, why all of this hue and cry in The Tennesean, from the pulpit, white and colored, concerning the ignorant Negro voters? Third—What will be the attitude of the Republican party, both state and national, toward the Negro after this election? and what losses will the Negroes of Tennessee sustain if they vote a straight Democratic ticket? or what will they gain if they vote the Independent Democratic ticket at the request or order of the Republican State Executive Committee? In attempting to answer conscientiously these three compound questions, I beg to state that the intelligent Negro voters of Tennessee have learned a lesson and are getting their eyes open. They THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910. the veiled insinuation that the Negro who dares have an opinion not in harmony with orders handed down by the illy white Republican bosses, and who entertains a feeling the least friendly to the present executive of this state is not influenced by high conceptions of duty to himself and to his race, but rather by the hope of some mercenary consideration for favors rendered. But our good friend evidently overlooks the fact that God in his all-wise providence has permitted him to witness a new era and in which is to be found an entirely new Negro, else he would not be so surprised at this mighty "indignation that has come over the Negro's dream." These old musical plates from which they have been wont to sing the praises of the "grand old party" so long that "the mind of man runneth not to the contrary" on the eve of every election through the "big-Negro" graphophone have seen their best days, and the Negro of today is learning to stand, like the white man, for principle above party. He will ever love and cherish the memory of the "departed saints" who did so much for him through the agency of Republicanism, but he has learned through bitter experience that the heterogeneous mass especially in this section labeled "Republic yd, Manager House, at are for the first time divided in political sentiment and will, therefore, divide their votes. They feel they have the same right to make their own selection among Democrats as the State Executive Republican Committee has to make it for them. Hence all those who vote must vote a Democratic ticket and there will be no more to gain or lose politically in voting for a straight Democrat than there will be in voting for a crooked or disgruntled Democrat, for whichever party is successful at the polls will be in future the straight Democratic party of the state. It is my opinion, as far as I have been able to see, that neither of these Democratic factions has made any overtures to the Negro voters. They have offered him nothing in the way of justice. If this independent, judiciary ticket would guarantee the Negro voter a fair and impartial trial in the courts when his life, or his liberty or his property is at stake, allowing him to be tried by a jury of his peers, as the constitution guarantees him, I would say, vote with the Independent every time. The Reason Why a Number of Negro Voters Will Vote the Straight Democratic Ticket. It has been recently shown by the actions of some of the chief executives of the straight Democratic party that they will at least give the Negro justice or show him mercy in his distresses. It indeed sounds strange to say that any number of Negroes are going to support the straight Democratic ticket, yet it is true, and this support will not be given for whiskey, saloon traffic or tainted money. The Negro believes, and has a right to believe that the Republican party, with whom he has voted for the last thirty-five or forty years, has traded him off. They traded a loyal Negro Republican for a disgruntled, dissatisfied Democrat, and this, too, without giving the Negro a warning or a chance to make preparation to take care of himself. In the language of another, "they left him out in the cold," in making their deal with the dissatisfied Democrats; and if the Negro can persuade the straight Democrats to allow him to vote with them at all, he will be doing well. The Negro for the last forty years has voted against every wish and interest of the Southern Democrats in party election, has closed his ears to all arguments, and it is not reason- can" resembles the real article about as much as a Kentucky thoroughbred does the proverbial jackass. It's gradually dawning upon the Negro that he must hustle for himself, and he is slowly but surely learning the lesson of self-preservation. Yes, he is, thank God, beginning to appreciate the wisdom not only of Roosevelt and of Taft, but of Booker Washington himself who advise that the Negro make friends with his neighbors—that they "let down their buckets where they are. And I ask in all soberness, what thought had these wise men in mind if it wasn't that the Negro cease standing out in opposition to every thought and act of the people with whom he must live? But as fate would have it, these "loyal sons of Ham" are without even their "loyalty" peg to stand upon in the present fight. Every candidate nominated is at heart an uncompromising Democrat, but the lily white boss orders the black bosses to order the black voters to vote for the Independent candidate, so that he and his cohort of lily white followers might ride into office on the strength of their barter; and they are really silly enough to believe that the Negro is still the fool to be herded like so many slaves and humbly marched able now to expect that the straight Democrats will be willing to risk themselves in offering him anything. But if it is shown in this election by actual proof that the Negro can be depended upon to be one-half as loyal to the straight Democrats in future as they have been to the straight Republicans in the past, I give it as my opinion that it will be the beginnng of a better day for the Negroes in Tennessee. As to the second question, the statistics show that not one-half of the Negroes of Nashville have yet registered. According to the census of 1900 there were about 35,000 Negroes within the corporate limits of Nashville. If one-fifth are voters, it would give 7,000 Negro males of voting age. Hence it can be seen that not one-half of the Negroes have yet registered. Under the Dortch Law which is in force in Nashville, a man will have to have a reasonable primary education and must be well informed before he can vote. He must be able not only to take his ballot and read the names and mark them, but he must be so well posted that he will know the name of each candidate for whom he wishes to vote. An ignorant man cannot, therefore, vote with any degree of certainty. Again, unless he is above fifty years of age, he must have paid up his taxes, and must exhibit his tax receipt. If for no other reason it would be a blessing to the state of Tennessee if every male Negro, twenty-one years of age, would register and vote, for before voting he must pay to the state and county in which he lives $2.00 per head for each year. If therefore, the 7,000 Negro voters of Nashville would each pay into the treasury $2.00 education would receive $14,000 or be $14,000 better off. If the 75,000 Negro voters of the state would register and vote the state would have $150,000 more with which to educate its children. I think the cry that is being made by the pulpit and the alarm being given by the Tennessean and the Nashville Banner is given either for the purpose of exciting uninformed white voters or because the contributors and editors of these papers and the occupants of the pulpits are uninformed, or have failed to take time to look into real conditions. There is no danger of either ignorant or criminal Negroes voting in Nashville. If they are criminals, they forth to make another payment on that interminable debt of gratitude, being urged on by the enchanting strains of that beautiful and soul-inspiring hymn. "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." The argument about the disfranchisement laws of the other Southern states, while strong, is exceedingly irrelevant. After all the Negro is not entirely without blame for these things, and it's his quest for some plan to keep such conditions out of his own fair state that teaches the Negroes of Tennessee to break away from a gang of demagogues whom he has learned from bitter experience care nothing more for him than the extent to which he can serve their nefarious purposes. No, no, Mr. Colored Boss, we are neither boot-leggers, whisky hunters nor office seekers (as your independent confederates term us). We ask no special favors of the executive, the legislative or the judicial officers of our fair state. All we ask is that we be treated like men, and that "both Trojan and Grecian be judged with no discrimination by them." Every Negro of intelligence knows that the most abusive and vilest statements ever uttered in public not only against our men but our women as well, were uttered by men who stood at the very forefront of the should be convicted; if they are ignorant they cannot vote. If they do vote they must pay their taxes. A large number of our Negro preachers are doing just what the white preachers are doing—insisting upon the members of their congregations voting for what they call civic righteousness, and in other elections their congregations have voted at their request without asking why. They voted for Mr. Johns as Independent Sheriff. He could not have been elected without the Negro vote. He enforced the law, cleared the gambling dens, stopped Sunday tippling, stopped the sale of liquor to minors, but, like the Republicans, forgot those who voted with him, aiming to return to the straight Democratic Party and got left. A great number of them voted for him again against Mayor Howse, while a number voted with the straight Democrats for Governor Patterson and Mayor Howse, who have never yet shown themselves to be ashamed of the Negro voters who voted for them, hence their word will go a long way with the Negro voters of Nashville and Tennessee. As to the third question, the Republican Party cannot blame or hold the Negro responsible for voting with the straight Democrats for two reasons: First, because they have swapped off the loyal Negro voter for such Democrats as they could persuade to leave their party. Colonel Roosevelt appointed Mr. Luke Wright to a national position, knowing that he was a Democrat. President Taft appointed Judge Lurton, knowing him to be a Democrat. He also appointed Mr J. M. Dickerson Secretary of War, with the understanding that he was a Democrat. The Republican State Executive Committee met in executive session and ordered all of the Negro Republicans to vote for the Independent Judiciary, with the understanding that these gentlemen were Democrats and would remain Democrats, and they have made no promise or pledge to give the Negroes any judicial rights, or to say that these Negroes had the right of trial by jury of their peers, or anything else. These Independent Democrats have only promised to vote for such Lily White Republicans as would hold the same opinion of the Negro that they have always held. The Tennessean, being the official organ of the Independent Democrats, has already served notice editorially and some of independent movement in this state, and yet we are told to forget the past, to "stand with the moral issues" element, and to "line, up like one solid phalanx against our ancient enemy, Democracy." They would have us believe that the "Independent Democrat" possesses superior qualities to the "ancient enemy Democracy" he has so recently deserted—in other words, that the stream is purer than its source. And they profess to believe that when the Negro takes a "sane view of the situation that he will vote for the independent judicial ticket." Well, we won't do it. Moral issues such as they represent at heart be hanged; we have something of infinitely more importance at stake We know too well that "the devil is sick, the devil a monk will be; the devil is well, the devil a monk is he." Mr. Editor, I hope every Negro will familiarize himself with the names of all judicial candidates on the Patterson ticket, pay his own poll tax, and then vote as big a ticket as he can for "the Governor of all the people of Tennessee" and his associates. He has proven himself a real man; let's be real men ourselves and go up or down with his ticket. Yours for the race, IRA T. BRYANT. their speakers have publicly stated from the plaform that the Negro voters of Tennessee should be disfranchised. This being the case, the Negro has nothing to lose and all to gain by attempting to make the best terms possible with the straight Democrats. Yes, make terms if you please, with the powers that be; make terms with those who are on the throne. The Negro will at least be in good company when he is associated with and recognized by the straight Democrats of the South. Politically, the Negro has nothing to lose by the Republicans' attitude toward him. They do not preside in any of the elections; they do not hold any office in Tennessee, state or national; they fill no clerkships except such as are obtained under the civil service rule. Only one Negro holds any position with the Republican State Executive Committee, and I am sure he cannot be accused of not doing his duty, for he is exerting himself, giving g his time and spendin his money trying to keep his brother Negro voters in line, and has even gone so far as to acknowledge in an open article that there was something more than mere promises that had driven the Negro from the Republican into the straight Democratic Party. A true answer to this would be that no act performed or promise made by the straight Democrats would do one-half as much to lead the Negroes away from the Republican and into the Democratic Party as the past acts of the Republicans themselves. In closing this statement, I beg to say that as a Republican I am glad the Negroes have divided. As a prohibitionist and anti-saloonist I am glad that some Negroes are on both sides of these great questions. I believe we, as Negroes who are going to support Governor Patterson and his ticket should support it as straight Democrats and have no fear in saying so. We who are going to support the Independent Judiciary ticket should support it as Independent Democrats, and should not be ashamed of that. We should speak out boldly and take a firm stand. All things being equal, we have more to gain in justice by voting for the Patterson Ticket. However we who prefer righteousness by law to justice, possibly have more to gain in our own consciences by voting with the civic righteous people. (Signed) R. H. BOYD. OUT OF TOWN NOTES.
