NEW BANKING
CONCERN TO BE OPENED IN GLARKSVILLE.
Montgomery County Metropolis to the Front.
ACTIVE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN GET TOGETHER ON A GOOD PROPOSITION—SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY GREW OUT OF LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE—PROMOTERS OF CONCERN HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR ITS SUCCESS—EXPECT TO REALIZE GOOD PROFITS FROM THE START—HOPE TO BE ABLE TO PAY TEN PER CENT. DIVIDEND IN TWELVE MONTHS—WELL KNOWN MEN AT HEAD OF THE COMPANY.
The progressiveness shown in many parts of the state with reference to Negro organizations and the operating official institutions has reached Clarksville, Tenn. Recently there has been launched and chartered a company known as The Mutual Loan and Trust Company, which is capitalized at $5000.00, and has for its object savings and investments.
This information is given out by Mr. H. A. Boyd, who is considered authority on Negro banks and banking concerns. He said that while this is not a bank the company will handle loans and act as trust agents. Mr. Boyd said he is personally acquainted with the promoters of the company, some of whom are not only men of means, but are as good business men as can be found in the state. Among them are physicians, dentists, liverymen, druggists, ministers, grocerymen, letter carriers in the government service, teachers, real estate men, undertakers, and men of various kinds of business.
The promoters hope to be able to declare a ten per cent dividend for the first year and still reserve a sinking fund.
Robt. T. Burt, is president of the new company; H. R. Merry, secretary and treasurer. The directors are N. S. Dabney, N. R. Kimbrough, J. W. Page, S. A. Dabney, Edward Williams, S. Jefferson, Wm. H. Keesee, G. W. Porter, E. S. Randals and J. H. Tompkins. The outlook for the success of the company seems bright. It grew out of the Negro Business League and the officials of one are practically the same as the other and nearly all of the League members are stockholders.

Five Pledges for Congressional Candidates—Make Lynching Federal Crime.
(Special Correspondence.)
Atlantic City, N. J.—With the appointment of a campaign committee of nine members to meet September 28 in Washington by the first meeting of the new executive committee the third annual meeting of the National Independent Political League with 60 delegates from many states present ended August 6 at noon, and the league had started on the first part of its year's work, the congressional elections of 1910. The convention was a successful and a strenuous one with entire absence of the cut-and-dried. There was full freedom of speech and some wordy contests, especially when Prof. DuBois, head of the Niagara Movement, became a candidate for the presidency. But harmony eventually prevailed.
The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Bishop Alexander Walters, New York; Organizer, Rev. J. M. Waldron, Washington, D. C.; Assistant Organizer, W. C. Payne, Alexandra, Va.; Recording Secretary, W. C. Neill, Washington, D. C.; Corresponding Secretary, W. M. Trotter, Boston, Mass.; Treasurer, M. W. Gibbs, Arkansas; Financial Secretary, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, Washington, D. C.; Chaplain, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, Ky.; Sergeant-at-Arms, Rev. J. F. Moreland, Atlantic City, N. J.; Vice Presidents, Rev. Byron Gunner, Hillburn, N. Y.; Dr. J. L. Johnson, Ohio, W. T. Ferguson, Washington, Rev. J. H. Wiley, Providence, R. I.; Wm. D. Cook, Maryland.
A new constitution was adopted Johnson, Boston, Mass., and W. F. S. making local leagues the units. Each state and territory has a member of the National Executive Committee who is director of the local work. Members were chosen for 40 states, Mrs. Givens, of Louisville, being chosen for Kentucky.
Boston was chosen for the 1911 convention.

Philadelphia, Aug 11.—A disagreement over the division of the receipts received at noon today resulted in calling off the six-round bout between Sam Langford and Al Kaufman, which was scheduled for tonight.
Langford, who refused to fight, forfeits $250, which will be divided between Kaufman and Harry E. Edwards, of this city, the promoter of the bout.

MAMMOUTH AUDITORIUM ARMORY SCENE OF BIG EVENT—NEGROES OF GEORGIA CAPITAL JOINED BY APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE OF WHITE PEOPLE IN MAKING THE AFFAIR A SUCCESS—BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE PAY ADMISSION TO THE DOOR—LOCAL TALENT RECEIVES GOOD PORTION OF PRAISE FOR PART IT PLAYED—PERMANENT ORGANIZATION TO HOLD THE FESTIVAL ANNUALLY.
The first annual colored musical festival, held at the auditorium-armory Thursday evening under the auspices of the Atlanta Colored Musical association, was not only a triumph for the Negroes who engaged in it, but a distinctly important event in the musical history of this city. An audience of 4,000 or 5,000, of which nearly 1,000 were white people, made the affair a financial as well as an artistic success, and insured its repetition from year to year.
The work of the association's chorus and other local musicians was good, but the two notable features of the evening were the appearance of the Fisk jubilee singers and of Harry W. Burleigh, of New York, baritone soloist. The jubilee singers were more than a quartet of Negro singers endowed with an unusual power to produce the plantive harmony for which the characteristic melodies of their race ar noted, for they proved in addition to be splendidly trained musicians, with a technical and artistic ability that lifted their performance far above the best of the class of jubilee singing which depends for its effect only on spontaneous and untrained harmony. While this was evident in the superb rendition of the jubilee songs and plantation melodies, it became more brilliantly apparent when they sang a recitative chant, the words of which were taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, set to a form of music full of somber, dignity and beauty.
Harry W. Burleigh, the baritone, would probably be on the grand opera stage today were he not a Negro. His natural ability and training have fitted him to sing without pretention the most difficult selections in the classic realm, and at no time Thursday evening was his work more effective than when he sang the marvellous prologue from "Pagliacci"—stood almost on the same spot where Pasquale Amato, of the Metropolitan Opera company had stood to sing it, before the great red velvet curtain last November, and sang it so well that all who heard Amato were glad now to hear Burleigh, which is saying a great deal.
A feature that was most pleasing in the singing of the Fisk quartet was the careful repression of the overexuberant effects slangily styled "barbershop harmony," and the careful sincerity of all their work. The "Negro" not was there, but was never too predominant, and in the singing of Burleigh it was totally absent, as it should be in the kind of music he was interpreting.
The Atlanta Colored Musical Festival association was organized this July as a branch of the institutional department of the First Congregational church, of which Rev. H. H Proctor is pastor. Its officers are: A. F. Herndon, J. B. Greenwood, L. G. Watts, C. C. Cater and H. H. Proctor
SUNDAY-SCHOOL INSTITUTE AT EAGLEVILLE, TENN.
The Sunday-school Institute of Rutherford County were recently held with the Beech Grove Baptist Church at Eagleville, Tenn., Rev. T. A. Brown, pastor. Meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Rev. T. A. Brown, at 10 a. m. Chairman Rev. T. A. Brown gave brief remarks concerning the work of the Institute.
Sunday morning Sunday-school conducted by L. W. McCord, assistant superintendent, and L. T. Glanton, teacher. School sang "Standing on the promises of God."
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ABRAHAM WILL MEET NEXT WEEK.
The fifth annual session of the United Sons and Daughters of Abraham will convene at Boyd Hall, Tuesday of next week, August 16th at 10 o'clock.
Mr. W. W. Williams the president of the order stated to a Globe representative that this session is expected to eclipse all former meetings.
This is a new order, having been established only five years ago, but its popularity with the masses has run the membership up between 800 and 1000. The meeting in Boyd Hall will be largely attended if the prediction of those in a position to know stands for anything.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BE NEVOLENTS.
Delegated Assembly Convenes Here Monday.
SESSIONS HELD IN THE HALL OF BENEVOLENT ORDER NO. 106, ON MAURY STREET—NEARLY TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES AND FRIENDS ATTENDING THE ASSEMBLY—REPORT OF GRAND OFFICERS PLEASING TO THE DELEGATES—EXCITING RACE IN ELECTION OF GRAND OFFICERS W. M. COPELAND, OF NASHVILLE, ELECTED GRAND PRESIDENT—PROMINENT VISITORS AND MAYOR HOWSE ATTEND MEETING AND MAKE SHORT TALKS TO MEMBERS—LEBANON NEXT MEETING PLACE.
The forty-second session of the Delegated Assembly of the Benevolent Order of Tennessee met in the hall of Benevolent Order No. 160, on Maury street, Monday at noon. Mr. J. W. Swanson, the President of the Assembly, called the meeting to order promptly at the hour stated above. The usual form of opening was observed, and the officers and delegates at once got down to business. The first matter taken under consideration was the appointment of a Credential Committee. The following constituted the same: Luther Jordan, R. B. Edmondson, M. Battle, Alma Wisner and Laura Clark.
The first session was spent mainly in hearing the report of the Credential Committee and getting things in shape for business. The roll call showed that there were one hundred and seven delegates present, coming from every part of the state, and representing the most progressive people to be found in our commonwealth.
Other committees appointed were—On Constitution; G. W. Wilson, S. W. McClayne, Chairman; B. L. C. Belcher, Andrew Clarkston and Mrs. Fanny Kidd.
On Investigation: J. P. Bryant, Chairman; S. M. Coley, Beulah Hammonds, M. r. Brown, J. S. Johnson. On Finance; John Gray, Chairman; B. F. Newhouse, Reuben Halley, Mrs. Geneva Rutledge, Miss M. L. Haynes. On Grievances: S. H. Martin, chairman; Bettie Watson, Ollie Gooch, Robert Foster, Augusta Hughes.
The committees being completed, the reports of the Grand Officers were called for. President J. W. Swanson was the first to make a report in the way of an annual address. The President read in a clear and distinct voice. His address was timely and was well received by all the delegates. He reviewed the work of the past year, which he said had not all been smooth sailing, but he said he was glad to be able to report every department of the order in first-class condition. When he told of the many perplexing problems the Grand officers had contended with, and how at times it seemed that confusion and disorder would take precedence over what was considered wise counsel, many tears were seen trickling down the cheeks of the delegates, which was an expression of the deep interest all have in the success of the Order. This is President Swanson's last year, he having served the Order four years as its head, which renders the grand officers ineligible to re-election. At the conclusion of his address a round of applause was given the retiring grand officer.
Other officers made their reports, among them being the Vice Grand (Continued on Page 2.)

ALABAMA ODD FELLOWS AT PEACE.
Special to the Globe.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—The greatest meeting ever held in the history of the G. U. O. of O. F., in Alabama was the District Grand Lodge which was held here last week and which closed in peace and harmony to meet next year in Montgomery.
For several years past things have not been moving along smoothly in the ranks in this city, and it looked like the whole Order was to be torn asunder. Two or three great forces have been contending for the mastery, and each had a large following. The troubles were reviewed by the Subcommittee time and time again, and it was agreed to ask Hon. E, C. Morris, of Chicago, Ill., to hold the Grand Lodge, and the several grand masters agreed to withdraw from the race. Perhaps the great leader was Hon. C. First Johnson, Ph. D., of Mobile, who is a leader of men and a great organizer, and who willingly withdrew from the race, in order that peace and harmony might prevail. He was praised by many, and made his way into the hearts of all factions, and his influence in the future will be felt.
"I belong to the interest of the widows and orphans in this state is greater than any individual," said Mr. Johnson, "Hence I want to get out of the way in order that they may get all that is due them. I find much pleasure in asking my friends to unite on a new man, one who will unify the Odd Fellows. Will you do this? I am sure you will." Mr. Johnson was given an ovation by the District Grand Lodge, and resolutions were passed thanking him for services rendered and for the sacrifice made in the name of peace. There is little doubt that he would have been re-elected District Grand Master, and there were many friends prepared to do his wishes in the matter. He retires from the office with the good will of all the Odd Fellows.
C. A. Houze, ex-District Grand Master in speaking of Mr. Johnson, commended his administration, and said, "Notwithstanding Dr. C. F. Johnson's successful administration, he would have been even more successful had he not been hindered by enemies in his own cabinet." Such is the tribute paid one retiring general by another. The endowment feature received the attention for two days. It was decided that no salary be paid the Grand Master from the Endowment Fund in the future. This law restores confidence.
YOUNG MEHARRYITES IN ST.
LOUIS.
From a professional point of view the latest star to appear on the scene filled with the things that make it complete is Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, Jr., of Tyler, Tex., a graduate of Meharry Medical College, with the class of 1908. Dr. Phillips is a native of Nashville, Tenn., and a son of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, M. D., D. D., of the C. M. E. Church. His early training was received in the public and high schools of Nashville, and to complete his course he entered the literary department of Walden University, graduating with honors. While at Meharry Medical College, the alma mater of his father, young Phillips mastered the study of his chosen profession and stood high in his classes. He graduated in the spring of 1908 and was one of the only two colored men who passed the Texas State Medical examination that year. He located at Tyler, where he enjoyed a lucrative practice, but on account of the limited experience offered in a small town, Dr. Phillips decided to reestablish his home in the Missouri metropolis, a large and open

field for thrifty and earnest men. In the fall of 1909 Dr. Phillips was united to Miss Edna French, of Racine, Wis., in holy matrimony. His office is located at 2607 Lawton avenue, where he stretches forth an open hand to his friends and well-wishers.
Among the successful candidates before the Missouri Medical Board the name of Dr. Amos B. Madison ranks high. Dr. Madison in his initial attempt brought credit to his alma mater in the State where rigidity is the password. Having been raised in Kansas City, Mo., the major part of his education was received in that city, having completed his course at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. While in school Dr. Madison displayed the tact and firmness of a brilliant student. His success at the recent Board comes as a reminder of his native ability. His location in St. Louis will be welcomed as such men possessing definite knowledge are compatible with the advancement of this great western center.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Helm, of Franklin, Tenn., announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Agnes Gladys, to Mr. B. H. January, the wedding to occur on Monday evening, September 12, at 7:30 o'clock. The marriage will be of much interest to friends throughout the states of Tennessee and Illinois.
DEDICATORY SERMON OF GEORGE
W. HUBBARD HOSPITAL.
The dedicatory sermon of the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital Club will be preached at First Baptist Church Sunday, August 14, at 11 a. m., by Rev. Ellington. There will be special music. Dr. Josie E. Wells will give a short address on the object and work of the club. All are invited, especially the women.
WILL TAKE VACATION.
Hon. J. P. Rhines will leave the city Saturday night, August 12, for his summer vacation. He goes direct to Washington City and will there join his son, J. T. Rhines, the well known undertaker of that city and his brothers, J. L. and L. H. Neill, who are among Washington's leading citizens, and practicing attorneys at the Washington bar. Recently Mr. Rhines was elected by the Davidson County Colored Bar Association as a delegate to the National Bar Association affiliated with the National Negro Business' League which meets in New York City and will attend this meeting in the latter city on August 22. He will also visit friends in Boston, Philadelphia and other Eastern Cities returning home via Chillacothe, Ohio, where his father and other relatives reside, reaching home on or about the first of September, in time to look after many suits in which he is interested and which convenes the first Monday in September.
IN THE INTEREST OF THE HUB BARD HOSPITAL.
Much is being said about the coming entertainment to be held at the Meharry Auditorium by an organization of ladies of this city known as the Hospital Club. They have secured the services of the Fisk Quartet and hope ta have the largest crowd that has been seen in years at the Meharry Auditorium on Monday night, August 22. The women at the head of this are leaving no stone unturned to make the affair a success. The entire proceeds will be used for the Hubbard Hospital which is rapidly nearing completion.
Mr. A. P. Sanders, of Columbus, O., spent the day here en route home from his old home in Columbia, Tenn.
NATIONAL BAPTIST UNION. SUSPENDED.
There is a rumor afloat in Nashville to the effect that the National Baptist Union has suspended for lack of funds to get out the paper or that in a slang term, "She is down and out." This rumor was run down, but could not be confirmed as the editor of the Union, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac has not been to Nashville for more than three months. Hence, he could not be conferred with. Rev. A. J. Stokes, the manager of the Union lives in Montgomery, Ala, so no message has come from him, nor could a statement for publication be had from T. G. Ewing, the treasurer, or J. Thomas Turner, the secretary, but Rev. William Haynes, the assistant business manager, who had charge of affairs for awhile is said to have remarked recently that he had done all he could to keep up the paper, and that he could do no more. It is a fact well known that the Union has not been out for three weeks and that the Baptist folks consider it a little short of a calamity to lose their official organ so close on to their National Convention, which is soon to meet in New Orleans.
For about a year the Union seems to have been pulling a very slow oar, in fact, she seems to have lost her grip and the Baptists have not had the boast of a big official organ that they have had for eight or nine years here in this city. Dark clouds are hovering over the affairs of the family of Baptists and their National work as will be recalled by lawyer Mayfield's suit, which involved the Editor of the Union and which is said to have some bearing upon the failure of the paper to make its regular appearance. While Attorney Mayfield made no attack upon the paper, for his was against the Investigating Committee, but this is said to have effected the "money getting" of the Union, which caused the suspension. Another rumor has it that the valiant one's are planning to bring out this week and for the next four weeks, so as to be able to make a report of their year's stewardship.

(Continued from Page 1.)
President, the Grand Secretary, Grand Treasurer and the District agents. All reports were encouraging, and elicited the applause of the delegates. The election of officers began Tuesday evening and wound up Wednesday morning, and resulted as follows: W. M. Copeland, of Nashville, President; J. W. Wilson, of Chattanooga, Vice President; R. H. Brown, Hermitage, Secretary; M. A. Weakley, Nashville, Treasurer; J. C. Crafton, Humboldt, Chaplain; Charles Wisner, Nashville, Marshal; H. Owens, of Nashville, Sentinel; Mrs. Beulah Hammonds, of Chattanooga, Mrs. A. P. Ward, of Lebanon, members of the Executive Board. The next meeting place was selected at the Wednesday morning session, the Assembly choosing Lebanon in preference to Chattanooga and Springfield.
Many of the leading business and professional men of the city visited the Assembly and made short addresses. Among them were Dr. J. H. Hale, Prof. R. B. Benton, His Honor Mayor Hilary Howse and others.
The Wednesday afternoon session of the Delegated Assembly was called to order by the President promptly at 2 o'clock. Devotions were conducted by the chaplain by singing and prayer. The roll was called and all the grand officers answered to their names. The minutes of the morning session were read and by motion were received.
Mr. D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe, was introduced and made a few remarks. The Assembly sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Hon. Noah Cooper was introduced and addressed the order.
Miss Emma N. Burrus, of 1603 Fourteenth avenue, North, has gone to Ashland City to spend the rest of the summer.
ON THE FARM.
SHOEING A YOUNG HORSE
The blacksmith should be requested to be very careful to fit the shoes as close as possible on the inside of the feet that is, the inside quarter and heel of the shoe should be kept well within the wall of the hoofs, and ought not to project the least little beyond the latter, otherwise the danger of the young horse "brushing" and injuring his fetlocks is much increased.
On no account should an undue amount of horn be pared away in preparing a "raw" horse's hoofs for shoes. This is a matter of great importance that is often neglected. On young animals that have just been taken from grass, the feet are generally somewhat overgrown, so that the wall of the hoof requires a considerable amount of paring but blacksmiths are often disposed to exceed legitimate needs in using the knife, with the object of making the foot look neat and enhancing its symmetrical appearance. This is a harmful proceeding. Neither the sole nor the frog should be pared, nor should there be any unnecessary cutting away of the horn at the heel, for that tends to weaken the hoofs, and may lead to their contraction.
The frogs of young horses may be of a large size and very prominent, but that is not a reason for reducing them. The frog is intended by nature to act as an elastic buffer to the foot, and to help in preserving the limb from the injurious effects of concussion, and the larger and more prominent is is, the better does it fulfil this function.
SECRET OF HEALTHY FOWLS.
A veteran poultry raiser who has learned not to fear disease, runs his plant under the following rules. A long experience has give him an inside track on fowl-health.
He starts from the very foundation. When he mates up his breeding pens he excludes all that have ever been sick. He wants strong, vigorous birds, and birds whose ancestors were also hardy stock. With this start he is able to do good work. He avoids in breeding, knowing that relationship will deteriorate the stock and new blood will strengthen the constitution.
He never overcrowds his flocks, as experience has proved that better health is maintained and better results secured from small families than from large ones. Besides, such vices as feather pulling, egg-eating, etc., invariably come from overcrowding.
He believes in fresh air and his houses are so constructed that there is a constant presence of fresh air in them without the possibility of drafts. He is generous in the size of both his houses and runs; and as the size of the flocks is limited, the fowls when compelled to remain indoors during bad weather of winter never suffer. The scratching sheds attached to the roosting pens are heavily littered, and among this litter grain is thrown, so that the fowls secure plenty of exercise in scratching, and the combs redden up, there is great activity, and naturally there is a great egg crop.
He breeds only from matured stock, so that he may have strength in the youngsters right from the start. He feeds generously of such foods as are best adapted to his wants and he has regular times of feeding, that the fowls may not become restless in account of waiting to be served. He knows that fowls quickly become accustomed to regular hours for feeding, and that unless they are attended to, they will get restless and cranky, he feeds the best of food. The first consideration with him is purity. Quality is worth more than cheapness, and the so-called "cheap" foods he has long since found to be the dearest in the end.
He is particular in the care of his flocks. Everything must be perfectly clean. The droppings are gathered up at least every other day; the atmosphere of the houses is kept free from offensive odors; ailing fowls are at once removed so that they may not contaminate the air; the drinking vessels are kept clean, and only fresh water allowed in them; the feed troughs are kept clear of filthy or sour food; in fact, all these small details are carefully looked after. Upon such a foundation there is no trouble to build up a strong, thrifty race of fowls of any breed. I so often hear the report that such and such a breed is of a delicate nature, when the truth is that the breed is hardy, but that certain strains of that breed have not been properly handled, and for that reason a delicacy of constitution is found there.
Fowls as a rule are hardy regardless of breed, but no breed can suffer neglect. Some years ago I saw in print that the white feathered birds were not so strong and prolific as the colored or parti-colored varieties. This theory, however, has been disproved by the success and the good work of the White Wyandottes.

HELP FOR THE BLIND.
Tennessee Continues to Offer the Sightless Splendid Opportunities.
Attention is again being directed to the Tennessee School for the Blind, an institution forstered by the state and under the charge of magnanimous people, who have given years of hard work to the development of the school. A circular letter was recently sent out by Mr. J. M. Armstrong, the venerable superintendent of that institution appealing to parents and relatives of children who have had the misfortune either to have been born blind or to have lost their sight otherwise, to send these children to this school that has been provided for them, and where they can learn to master some trade or art, and acquire an educatino, thus lifting themselves from a dependent position to an independent one.
The Negro Department of the Blind School is located on Tennessee street, Nashville, Tenn. At the head of this department is Mrs. Susan M. Lowe, who for thirty years has labored untiringly for these children. Last year the colored department had an enrollment of forty-seven. They had four competent teachers who instructed them in all of the literary branches such as reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, orthography, etc. They were given music, proving very apt students. They were also given industrial training, such as carpentry, broom-making, chair-bottoming, etc.
The encouraging feature of the future ontlook of the school is that it helps the poor. Every particle of instruction, board and tuition, is free, but notwithstanding this, the authorities of the school are compelled to appeal, year after year, to the parents of such children to send them where they can take advantage of these opportunities. Some of them are too indifferent, and let their children remain subservient for life, rather than send them where they can be taught to make a living intelligently. Some really appear to be ashamed of their children. The following letter has been sent out by Superintendent Armstrong:
Dear Sir: Believing that you will willingly give a moment of your valuable time to the service of humanity, I take the liberty of adderssizing you in behalf of the blind children of the state who, in consequence of their affliction, are unable to attend the ordinary school and acquire the education deemed so necessary to the success and happiness of the children of this generation.
There are more than one thousand of the unfortunate children in Tennessee and some of them may be found in every section and in almost every community. Their parents and friends seem indifferent to the great blessings which this school freely offers all children with defective vision.
It is erroneously thought that only those totally blind are admitted into this school. The privilege is extended to every child of school age who cannot see to read or who can only master lessons with pain and difficulty.
If there are any of these children in your neighborhood, I most earnestly trust that you will tell them of this institution and urge upon them to apply for admission, thereby assisting in giving hope and bringing sunshine to the hearts of the poor, helpless ones who now sit in ignorance and darkness.
If you will kindly send me the names of parents of any of these children, I shall be greatly obliged.
Very respectfully,
J. V. ARMSTRONG,
Superintendent.
MISS WATSON GOES TO ARKANS
SAS.
Miss Sadie Watson left this week for Marked Tree, Ark., to teach in the city public school of that place. Miss Watson bids fair to win success in her chosen work. She is a graduate of Pearl High School and subsequently graduated from the Normal course of Walden University. She is following closely in the foot prints of her father, the late Prof. Chas. M. Watson, who for a number of years before his death was principal of the Clarksville Public School. Her mother, Mrs. Estizer Watson, has for a long time been a teacher in the public school of Clarksville, Tenn.
WILL ATTEND BUSINESS LEAGUE.
There are to be some representatives from this city at the National Business League, which is to open its tenth annual session at the Palm Garden, New York City, on next Wednesday morning. Nashville is well represented on program. The first delegate who will leave for the league will be Mr. A. N. Johnson, who goes Saturday night, as the National Funeral Directors will open their session Monday morning, August 15th. Mr. Johnson will deliver the principal address before this association. Others who will go are Rev. G. B. Taylor, of
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1910.
the Reform and Industrial School, Lawyer J. P. Rhines, H. A. Boyd and Mr. J. C. Napier. The latter will possibly be the last to leave as he is planning to remain over for the Republican State Convention on the 16th.
RUSHING WORK ON CAR LINE.
On Wednesday of this week the work of excavating, grading and preparing to lay the street car track from the end of the Fairfield line which now stops at the Mt. Olivet Cemetery to Greenwood Park was progressing so rapidly that the management of the park gives out reassurance that the cars will be able to run to the gate of the park by Labor Day. The management has redoubled its efforts and has added three full forces of workmen who are swarming around this grade like so many ants, working with a greater amount of determination. They declare that this grade must disappear and that the track must go down. The hill to be cut down is 12 feet deep and 20 feet wide, a distance of 600 feet. The closest calculation by the contractors says that there will be 5,000 cubic yards of dirt to be moved from the grade and put into the ravine before any steel rails or ties can be laid. At least half of the work has already been completed, thus the preparation for a big Labor Day celebration, which is well under way to be pulled off of the park, will be continued with a view of carrying the public out on the street cars.
NATIONAL BAPTIST DELEGATES
GET RATES.
Excursion Rate of One Fare for The Round Trip Has Been Put on for the National Baptist Conven-
September 14-19. 1910.
In the Baptist City Ministers' meeting Monday morning, the representatives of two of the leading railroads in the South announced that they had perfected plans by which they were able to handle all the delegates who desire to attend the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans, La., next month. The Baptist people of Louisiana are arranging to care for the largest delegation in the history of the state. The Nashville folks say that they are going to have special Pullman cars and day coaches with dining car service. New Orleans is about six hundred miles from Nashville, but with these palatial cars and the improved service offered by the railroad companies, the 'distance will not appear so great.
Following this announcement a letter has been received in Nashville from Mr. Jcseph Richard, the chairman of the Southeastern Clergy Bureau announcing that the round trip fare from Nashville to New Orleans has been fixed at $18.00. Tickets on sale September 12, 13 and 14. The following rates from important Tennessee towns are announced: Brentwood, $18.00; Bristol, $22.45; Brownville, $13.95; Chattanooga, $15.20; Clarksville, $18.00; Columbia, $17.60; Decherd, $18.00; Dickson, $17.05; Galatin, $19.00 Jackson, $13.55; Knoxville, $18.50; McKenzie, $14.80; Memphis, $12.15; Murfreesboro, $18.00; Nashville, $18.00; Pulaski, $16.45; Shelbyville, $18.25; South Pittsburg, $25.50; Springfield, $18.00; Tullahoma, $18.00; Tickets good to return to the original starting point before midnight September 21st.
THE KNOWLES SCHOOL ALLIANCE
TO HOLD AN IMPORTANT
The members of the Women's Alliance were highly pleased at the good attendance at their meeting last Friday afternoon at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Much interest in these meetings is being shown. Many good plans are now under way for the betterment of conditions about our schools and for the increased and regular attendance of the children in the same. The Alliance will hold a meeting of general interest at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Jefferson street, Friday night, August 19 at 8 o'clock. A special feature of the meeting will be a paper on "Our Boys," by Mrs. H. T. Kealing. Opportunity will be given for general discussion. It is the wish of the Alliance that our citizens in general will manifest a deep and active interest in its plans, and will attend this meeting.

DOING A SUCCESSFUL WORK.
Every day there are evidences of the splendid work that is being done by Rev. G. B. Taylor, President of the Reform Industrial College. It was only last week that Rev. Taylor's worth was more fully realized when he came to the rescue of Mrs. Hattie Crockett, a mother, who was on the

The officer would have placed her in the city prison, where she would have been kept for sometime, had not the attention of the president of this Reform School been called to her condition. Mr. C. A. Bell, white, not only took care of the children, but became responsible for the future of the mother, and at the same time obligated himself to the expense of $2 per week for the care of the two children, who are now at the Reform School.
Mrs. W. H. Ballard, of Lexington, Ky., is in the city visiting her sisters. Mrs. A. A. Carter and Mrs. C. B. Lowe. Mrs. S. J. Johnson, of Chicago, who has been visiting relatives, left for her home this week.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1910,
BREEDER OF STRIFE.
The Nashwille Pennessean seems
bent on straining the pleasant’ rela-
tions that exist between the raees in
this state. Every day there appears
im that paper some thrust at the Ne-
gro that is calculated to create preju-
dice and excite the passions of the
thoughitless. And why? Simply be
cause some Negro voters decided to
vote the staight democratic ticket in
the ‘election that was held’ on the
fourth day of this month.
The first misrepresentation was x
statement to the effect that the .ac-
tions of the Negro voters on election
day resembled those of reconstruction
times, That was fish tale number
one, Then, not content with that, this
same pretentiously immaculate jour-
nal proceeded to hatch a black fish tale
in which it was charged that a band of
Negroes had rigged-up a mock fanerai
of Hon. Jeff McCarn, and had pro-
ceeded to haul the same through the
streets of the city, But upon inves.
tigation it was learned that the only
Negro who had anything whatever to
do with the affair was a onelegged
man who was hired to drive the
wagon, For this the Tennessean
avers that if the Mayor had not
stopped the parade there would have
been a race riot in this city last Sat
urday night. We suppose plans wer
under way to get out a few specia
issues of the Tennessean Saturdas
afternoon to excite that nearriot, fo:
otherwise no one could haye knowr
of the necessity for such,
Such inflamatory statements as re
ferred to above is the reward the Zen
nessean gives to all the Neg-ves whe
voted the Independent ticket. Some 0
the leading Negroes in the state too}
the stump for the Independent candi
dates, but the Tennessean would hay
them set upon by a mob and drive
from their homes and shot down lik
dogs.
The people of Tennessee and th
city of Nashville have long sine
learned that to get a true statemen
from this fire-brand journal, it woul
be necessary to turn it upside down
‘The best people of Tennessee want t
see the two races live In peace in thi
state, and a deaf ear is turned,to al
such calamity howls as the Tennes
sean puts up, and a united effort {
being made in the interest of penc
and prosperity.

gins. The time is right on us. Get

TURNER NORMAL.
The African Methodists of Tennes-
see have decided to erect a school
building onthe campus of Turner Nor-
mal.College, at Shelbyville, ata cost of
between twelve and fifteen thousand
‘dollars. The building will be con-
structed of brick or concrete on a
plan that is modern in school arch!
tecture. The money to pay for the
structure is to be raised by the Airi-
can Methodist churches in this state.
This is another evidence of what
Negroes can do when they set their
heads to do it. It is proof that there
is power in concerted action. The
scheme of raising the means to erect
the building and maintain it, is a
novel one, so arranged that no one
church is burdened with the responsi-
bility of another. We hope for our
Methodist brethren glorious success.
BEERETTE STANDS.
Nashville is dotted with beorette
stands. In many portions of the city
one can stand in his tracks and count
a half dozen or more of these resorts,
andaround the door of every one can
be seen a gang of young bucks a:t-
ing the fon!,
‘These soft-drink ‘stands have. be-
come to be @ greater nuisance thi:
the saloons were before the segreg
tion law was put in force, and there
is no apparent relief this side of the
next Legislature, We hope for a rem:
edy for this condition when the law-
makers assemble again on the hill
Parents wonld act wisely “if they
would take the pains to see to it that
their boys and girls keep away from
these slop houses. ‘They can become
a law unto themselves and thereby
rear their children properly regarl-
less of the Beerette joints.
Play grounds for Negro childrea
should be established in the several
sections of the city where the Negro
population is the most. dense. Does
it interest you? If so, get busy.
The attempted assassination of
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, is another
example of the disloyalty of foreign-
ers, AS mean as the Negro is he has
never comiitted such a deed,
Nashville will be represented at the
National Negro Business League de-
spite the pon-meeting habit that still
possesses the local leagues. Some of
our progressive men ‘tends any how.

EDITORIAL CLIPPiNGS.
We cannot understand why some
editors take such delight in helping to
circulate seandalous matter on others,
when, if they were called to account
by the courts they would not be able
to produce one iota of evidence to
substantiate thelr charges. If the
courts were called upon to pass upon
this kind of editorial matter they
would most likely call it libel and
give judgment to the libelled and
slandered, which would be right—

‘The suggestion of some Georgia
solon to pass a rule prohibiting drink-
ing and drunkenness on the trains in
the state is about the wisest thing
which we have had from them in
years. The lives of well-deported and
decent passengers are often jeopar-
dized by these brutes, white and black,
crazed from intoxication, who walk
the aisles of trains. | Conductors,
though clothed with the power of ar-
rest, Would be unable to cope with
these ruffians. A law prohibiting
them from boarding trains or giving
the conductor power to have them
jailed at the first station after their
disvovery would be just the thing—

HELPFUL FARMERS’ CONFERENCE AT
LAWRENCEVILLE, VA.
VA.
The sixth annual conference of
farmers was held at St, Paul's School
at Lawrenceville with a total at-
tendance of 2,500. All sections of
the country were represented, Most
excellent reports were renderd which
proved what a wonderful work this
conference is doing. President Rus-
sell rendered one of those powerful
addressss which a tagk of space pre-
vents us from publishing. St. Paul,
Hampton and Tuskegee hold thess
conferences and they have proven a
blessing to the Negro farmer and the
public at large—Th2 Journal and

NATIONAL CONVENTION TO
MEET IN NEW ORLEANS, SEP-
TEMBER 14-19,
New Orleans, La—Just one month,
and the Crescent, City will be enter-
taining the great National Baptist
Convention. If one is to judge by the
way the Baptist people have been
busily engaged, « securing homes,
beautifying their churches, training
special choirs, and choruses, together
with other finishing touches, he will
agree that New Orleans is going to
make an admirable hostess. It can be
said for the benefit or the city at
large that she is rallying around these
people who haye in hand the arrange-
ments for the entertainment of this
convention. In other words, they are
going to uphold the reputation that
New Or'eans has built up as the Mardi
Gras City. Thousands of people are
expected to take advantage of the spe-
cial excursion rate to come to the un-
disputed metropolis of the South, the
city made famous by the historic bat-
tle of New Orleans and by the fact
that it is right at the mouth of the
Father of Waters, There are many
things. that argue much for the suc-
cess of this religious gathering aside
from the fact that, it is the largest
strictly denominational meeting that
has been called here in more than a
quarter of a century, The first is that
the committee in charge of affairs is
composed of men who are known to
do things regardless of how arduous
the task may be; they accomplish it
in the end. Second, because of the
large number of homes that have
been thrown open for the entertain-
ment of these delegates from every
quarter of the globe. Third, New Or-
leans has a larger Negro population
than any other city in the South, A
rough estimate of the recent census
claims that there will be 125,000 Ne-
groes reported from this city. Fourth,

JOE GANS DIES FROM "THE WHITE PLAUGE."
Ex-Champion Lightweight Succumbs After One Year of Fighting—His Record in Brief.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 10.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion pugilist, died this morning.
Gans died of consumption, which manifested itself in his system about a year ago. Lat last spring he went to Arizona with the hope of restoring his health, but the disease had been too deeply seated and he declined rapidly. He was brought here last week to die. He was 34 years old.
Joe Gans' right name was Gant, the name Gans being fastened upon him
THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Gives Its First Annual Banquet in Washington Under Brilliant Auspices —Hearty Cooperation of the Washington Commercial Council and Local Business League. A veritable "love feast," with Presidents Thompson, Lankford and Waring as central figures—a function of nation-wide significance.
Washington, D. C., August 7.—Amid an atmosphere redolent with harmony, sympathetic co-operation and the spirit of good-fellowship, the first annual banquet of the National Negro Press Association was given last Saturday evening at Martin's Northwest Cafe, Eleventh and U streets, northwest. Acting in conjunction with the Press Association were the Washington Commercial Council, of which J. A. Lankford, the noted architect, is president, and the Negro Business League, of the District of Columbia, headed by Robert L. Waring, the gifted author of "As we see it."
The object of the tripartite combination was to arouse a deeper interest in the development of race journalism and to stimulate our people to greater activity along civic, commercial and business lines, and the movement was a success in every particular. Gathered at the long table, where covers were laid for sixty or more, were representatives of nearly every phase of useful endeavor that mortal can think of. Preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, editors, correspondents, publishers, printers, photographers, house decorators, musicians, poets, mechanics, inventors, book and magazine writers, missionary workers, architects and builders, bakers, bankers, stenographers, contractors and men of high official station, touched elbows, with a happy impulse of a common brotherhood, and "all went merry as a marriage bell." Speeches were made and in abundance, too. The many utterances were not merely flights of picturesque oratory, to be forgot in the moment after delivery, but each speaker had a distinct message to offer that carried home a burning truth, and the practical tinge of personal experience gave the addresses an educational and inspirational value beyond computation. No one struck a discarded note. The occasion was a veritable "love-feast," and generated an influence that bids fair to be nation-wide in significance.
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1910.
early in his ring career by a mistake of a referee. He began his ring career in 1894 but prior to that time he had made a name for himself as a fighter about a fish market in this city, where he was employed. His first fight for money is said to have brought him $4. The largest purse for which he ever fought was $33,000 in his first bout with Nelson. Of this Gans received $11,000 he having agree to give Nelson the remainder, lose or draw.
Gans won the title of lightweight champion from Frank Erne at Fort Erie in one round in 1902 and lost it to "Battling" Nelson in 1908 in the seventeenth round.
It was the concensus of opinion that the affair should be an annual event, and that as far as possible, the newspaper men and commercial forces of other cities should be encouraged to follow the example so happily set at the nation's capital.
Among the themes discussed were race leadership, race protection, town building, home ownership, civic reform, education that hits the mark, literature, art and science, the philosophy of social and industrial conditions, medicine and surgery, finance and trade and how to make the Negro newspaper a more potent agency for the advancement of every element of society and how to make it such a paying venture that the very best men could be induced to give to it their full time and rare talent. A similar event in recent years has attracted so much favorable comment or provoked such a profitable trend of thought as this "three-headed" harmony-feat of the journalists and their manifold clientage. The whole town is talking about it and those who participated have been wondering why such an affair had not been thought of long before.
Mr. J. A. Lankford acted as master of ceremonies, and after an impressive opening address, introduced Mr. R. W. Thompson, who served as toastmaster for the evening, and presented the speakers in felicitous fashion, keeping everything going at a rapid clip until the "wee sma" hour approached an alarming size. Among the contributors to the inexhaustible fund of wit, humor, facts, ideals and helpful suggestions were Drs. A. M. Curtis, C. W. Childs, E. D. Williston, Arthur S. Gray, G. W. Cabanias, Rev. John F. Hurst, Rev. L. C. Moore (who read a poem on the newspaper man), and Rev. James L. White, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Editors Hugh E. Macbeth of the Baltimore Times; Ocea Taylor and Oliver Randolph, of the Washington American; Prof. W. H. H. Hart, of the Howard Law School; Judge M. W. Gibbs, of Arkansas; Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, of the District bar; T. J. Calloway, F. H. M. Murray, J. C. Waters, Jr., F. Morris Murray, C. C. Curtis, Whitefield McKinlay, Daniel Freeman, E. L. Scott, T. Spencer Finley, the actor; W. C. Hill, a sculptor, who exhibited a fine statuette of the invincible Jack Johnson (his own work) and Lewis E. Johnson, of the Y. M. C. A. Movement. Last, but not least there was the Hon. Harry S. Cum
mings, of the Baltimore City Council, who came over to lend his presence and to offer a message of cheer from our sister commonwealth of Maryland. He was dubbed "Baltimore's mayor in bronze."
A letter from Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, was cheered to the echo. The excellent dinner served by W. W. Martin, the prince of Washington caterers, was praised by all, and it was voted that in establishing a first-class up-town cafe he was filling a long-felt want and filling it most satisfactorily.
The experienced and indefatigable committee having the affair in charge was made up of Messrs. R. W. Thompson, Chairman; J. A. Lankford, Robt. L. Waring, Oliver Randolph, Daniel Freeman, W. R. Griffin, Ocea Taylor, J. D. Pair, F. Morris Murray, John H. Wills and Samuel T. Henry.
The subscribers aside from the already mentioned, were Henry E. Baker, Edward H. Lawson, J. Frank Blagburn, Clarence Cameron White, Nathan N. Bell, John C. Reevan, Jr., J. M. Cooper, Charles H. Stewart, Zeph. P. Moore, A. N. Sourlook, T. L. Leatherwood, E. Wood, C. Hubert, N. Wright Cuney, O. T. Taylor, Gen Henry Forest, J. M. Trigg, N. J. Banks, C. R. Richardson, L. W. Easley, D. D. Moore, George H. Benjamin, John W. Lewis, Joseph Manning, W. T. Menard, R. R. S. Toomey, Dr C. H Marshall, Charles H. Stockton, Dr W. H. Davls, W. W. Martin, W. P. Blackburn, Charles M. Thomas and Prof. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, and others.
The Central Idea of the National Negro Press Association was heartily endorsed and the hope was expressed that the New York Convention on the 16th will be a glittering success.
