THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. TENNESSEE COLORED STATE FAIR, GREENWOOD PARK SEPTEMBER 27TH TO OCTOBER 1ST VOL. V. THE LAST PEA IN THE DISH PITCHED OUT BY THE Republican State Executive Committee. HON. J. C. NAPIER REPLACED BY A WHITE MAN—ONE WILCOX, FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY, WHO LED CONTESTING FACTION AGAINST NACE DIXON. PUT ON—LILY WHITEISM PRECTICED IN THE VILEST FORM-PLTINLY SHOWN TO THE NEGRO THAT HE IS NOT WANTED IN THE REPUBLICAN RANKS—REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT. Hon. J. C. Nanier replaced by a white man—one Wilcox from Montgomery County, who led contesting faction against Nace Dixon Put on Lilly Whiteism practiced in the vilest form—Plainly shown to the Negro that he is not wanted in the Republican ranks. The new State Executive Committee met and organized shortly after the convention adjourned. Newell Sanders was re-elected Chairman and given power to appoint a Secretary and Treasurer at his leisure. The committee was in executive session headquarters in the Stahlman building for some time, after which it adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. It was given out that it would meet again in a few days to arrange for the coming campaign. Roll-coll of Congressional Districts at the opening session of the convention brought forth the composition of the new State Executive Committee. Many changes are shown from the old committee. In the Sixth District the colored brother received the hot end of the proposition. J. C. Napier was displaced and in his stead was named L. C. Wilcox, of Montgomery County, head of the contesting delegation which was seated in place of the delegation headed by Nace Dixon, colored. The following are the members of the new state republican executive committee: First district—G. L. Zirkle, —; W. F. Carter, Washington. Second district—M. C. Monday. Knox; John Toomey, Scott. Third district—Newell Sanders, Hamilton: J. M. Taylor, White. Fourth district—George P. Burnett Cumberland; R. O. Lillard, Wilson. Cumberland; R. Q. Lillard. Wilson. Fifth district—John E. Conger, De- Kalb; L. Mack Fakin, Lincoln Sixth district—R. O. Wilcox, Montgomery: H. A. Luck, Davidson. Seventh district—Marlon Richardson, Lawrence; J. S. Beasley, Hickman. Eighth district—J. W. Ross, Hardin; W. F. Appleby, Henderson. Ninth district—R. H. McNeilly, Gibson; Hugh B. Nunn, Lauderdale. Tenth district—Harry Q. True, Shelby; L. W. Dutro, Shelby. It will be seen from the above that the only Negro that had been on the executive committee for several years was dropped at the convention. Mr. Napier has been faithful and true to the Republican party. He has responded to every call and has fought for the cause he loved against all odds. But despite all this he has been dropped from the executive committee which leaves the Negroes in Tennessee without any representation on the committee whatever. Mr. Napier could not be seen for a statement about the action of the leaders of his party, having left on an early train Tuesday night for New York City to attend the National Negro Business League, but his best friends predict that he will now lay the Republican party on the shelf. The defeat, it is said, came as a result of the vigorous fight made by Mr. Napier for the Nace Dixon delegation. The party leaders did not relish his effort for fair play for the NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1910. black men, and as a rebuke they dropped his name from the committee. ARKANSAS MILLIONAIRE WITH A COAL BLACK SKIN. Tells His Race He Wouldn't Change Places with Roosevelt and Ad- Places with Roosevelt and Advises Them to Join Him. New York, August 18.—An old-fashioned Arkansasas darky, one of those proud to call himself "nigger," stood up in the second day's session of the Negro Business Men's League here today and vowed that he wouldn't change places with Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, big a man as he is." "Come out with us, you niggers," he told the New York niggers, "where the air is free and God is good, and where, if there is any gumption in you, you can have more in a year than you ever earned in all your life before. If you haven't a dollar, I'll give you a farm and a chance. Come out to Arkansas." The speaker was introduced by Booker T. Washington as Scott Bond, of Madison, Ark. A little arithmetic shows that this tax represents a capital appraised at nearly $4,000,000, consisting. Scott Bond said, of his own farm, nineteen farms rented to other Negroes, cotton gins, twenty general stores and live stock. "What do you raise?" asked a woman delegate. "On my place," was the reply, "I raise mules, corn, cotton, tobacco and boys and girls." Other speakers were Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Henry Villard, the daughter of William L. Garrison, and Garrison's grandson, Oswald Garrison Villard, a New York editor. Solidarity, thought Mr. Villard, was what the Negro most needed. REV. J. H. HALL PASSES AWAY I am writing to inform you of the death of Rev. J. H. Hall, who departed this life on Thursday, August 11. Rev.

Hall Chapel Free Mission Church, of Brazoria, Texas. Rev. Hall as a delegate to the National Baptist Convention last year at Columbus, Ohio. It is our loss but heaven's gain; peace be to his dust.

Result of Conditions at Basket Meeting. "OH, LORD, BLESS OUR PASTOR, BUT DON'T LET HIM GO ASTRAY NO MORE"—UTTERANCE OF A MEMBER OF MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH—THE OCCASION OF BASKET-MEETING AT CONEY ISLAND PARK—PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED OUTSPOKKEN IN CONDEMNATION OF THE PLACE—CARD PLAYING. BASEBALL, ETC. "Oh Lord, bless our pastor, but don't let him go astray no more"—utterance of a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The occasion of basket meeting at Coney Island Park—People who attended outspoken in condemnation of the place. Card-playing, baseball, etc.—White men did all the sell ing. On last Sunday the people of this city witnessed one of the most unusual spectacles ever seen in a civilized community, and if the vows and expressions of those who were present count for anything it will be a long time before such a scene is witnessed in Nashville again, if ever. It had been fully advertized that the members of Mt. Zion Baptist Church will have a basket-meeting at Coney Island Park conducted in the old time way. Coney Island Park is near the city. It is owned by a white man, but is run exclusively for Negroes. It was the general opinion that the management running the park would be entirely in the hands of colored men, but the people who went out Sunday were surprised to find it different. The report that the basket-meeting would be conducted in the old-fashioned way brought between two and three thousand people to the park. As soon as the people reached the grounds a general complaint was begun as to the way things were being conducted. The first complaint was that every way one turned some sort of snort was being carried on—baseball games, card playing, flying jenny, old plantation show and the like. Instead of an air of sobriety all was gayety and sportiae. Another objectionable feature and one that made mother's vow to never let her daughters visit the place was the number of white men on the grounds. One gentleman who made a close observation estimated that at least twenty white men were on the grounds. Every amusement except one was conducted by a white man, and they are said to have been making themselves very much in evidence. The church people were to have full possession of the park free of charge, but when they arrived they were told by the white proprietor that they would have to hold their services in a certain part of the park, to which an admission fee was charged. It is said that many of those who went to hear preaching never did reach the grounds set apart for that purpose. Under all these trying ordeals one good old borer, when called on to pray, uttered the following significant remark: "Lord, bless our pastor, brother Ferrell, and don't let him lead us astray no more." When the good old man uttered that prayer the congregation joined in a general amen! amen! To cap the climax of the day the white proprietor called a Negro boy around and came near inciting a race riot. Coney Island Park is a new thing and is conducted in a new way, but the people of Mt. Zion left there Sunday and vowed that it would be their last visit. Some of the delights from northern Alabama passed through the city this week en route to the National Negro Business League in New York. LOSES PROPERTY ON GAY STREET. STREET. If the reported loss or the Baptist Young People's Union Board is true, it means a setback to the work of the Baptists in this city. It is reported that the property of the Board located at 409 Gay street has been lost through failure to meet thier payments and that the same was taken over by a real estate firm. No one in the office could give the particulars in the case. The Secretary of the board, Rev. Dr. Isaac, was out of the city. There was a clerk in the office and also Rev. W. L. Craft, but they would give out nothing. It is estimated that between $1,500.00 and $1,600.00 had been paid on this property, which cost about $4,000.00. The lot is a spacious one and has a two-story brick building on it. Located in the building is the office of the superintendent of missions for the state of Tennessee, Rev. E. M. Lawrence, the B. Y. P. U. Board's offices and the Clarion Printing Company. The real estate firm that took over the property say they are perfectly willing to allow the Board regain possession of the property on condition that all past due notes with interest from date be paid up. They say they have no use for it whatever, but that the payments were away behind and that it was a business investment which necessitated the action taken. The secretary of this board, according to well informed Baptists reported, to his convention last year at Columbus, Ohio, that he was compelled to deny his customers their literature for six months and take all the money sent in for the same to save the property. The loss, if true, will leave practically but one board connected with the National Baptist Convention property owners in this city. It was thought that when the recent charter was issued for this Young People's Union Board that it meant its permanent establishment and retention in this city, notwithstanding Mobile has the headquarters and presence of its secretary, and has had since last April. Just whether the Baptists will be able to raise enough money to take this property back is not known and will not be until. The reported loss of this property and the continued absence of the secretary, are doubtless responsible for the reported suspension of the National Baptist Union. It could not be learned when it issue would be here, nor when the Board would try to get the property back in their possession. WILL PUBLISH DAILY PAPER. The National Baptist Review Will be Published Daily at New Orleans, Lo Next Month The announcement is made that The National Baptist Review, a weekly religious newspaper of sixteen pages, now being published in Nashville, Tenn., un'er the auspices of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards of the National Baptist Convention, as the official organ, will be published daily at New Orleans from September 13th to the 19th. The Review is only about eight months old, but has grown with such tremendous rapidity that it is recognized and felt as one of the leading journals of the race. The Secretary of the Publishing Board. Dr. R. H. Boyd is busy at work on plans to bring out this paper. The paper will be eight pages, three columns, and contain all of the doings of each day's session of the convention. It will contain cuts of the leading delegates in attendance as well as extracts from the principal addresses delivered. Enough papers will be printed each day to supply each of the delegates with a copy. The editor of The Review will be at New Orleans, says Dr. Boyd in discussing the matter, pre-pared to edit the paper as it is edited in Nashville. The Review daily will contain a full list of the delegates in attendance, stating from what state they come and the church or convention they represent. It will be the first time in the history of the National Baptist Convention, although this will be the thirtieth annual session, that such a denominational paper has ever been published daily. They purpose to take subscriptions for the entire week, both for the daily and weekly Review. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS IN NEW YORK CITY. Tenth Annual Session a Record Breaker. SPACIOUS PALM GARDEN SCENE OF GREAT ACTIVITY-MEETING CALLED TO ORDER ON TIME BY PRESIDENT WASHINGTON-AT HALF-PAST TEN O'CLOCK NEGRO GUSINESS MEN GET DOWN TO WORK-EVERY VOCATION REPRESENTED-FARMERS, BANKERS MANUFACTURERS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN COMMINGLE. Special to the Nashville Globe. New York. Aug. 17.—The tenth annual session of the National Negro Business League convened this morning at half past ten o'clock in The Palm Garden. The President, Booker T. Washington, presided at the opening session. The opening was conducted according to the announcements of the regular programme. Everything went off without a hitch. The usual formalities in the way of introductions and responses were observed. There were many good speeches but to Hon. Harry W. Anderson, the polished New York orator and statesman, belongs the honor of the day. Mr. Anderson is a forceful speaker and on this occasion was at his best. After the brief opening the league got down to actual business, and under that matchless leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, no time was lost in caveling. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, of Nashville, who was to speak on the Negro Publishers, was unable to be present owing to sickness. Mr. A. N. Johnson, of Nashville, conducted a very successful meeting of the undertakers. President Pettiford, of the Banker's Association, made an excellent report and advanced some good ideas that. if carried into practice will greatly strengthen the Negro banks in the country. The most capital idea advanced by President Pettiford was the establishment of a Bankers Central Bank and Trust Association. This idea took like wild fire but no definite action was taken on it. Mr. H. A. Boyd, of Nashville, was introduced and spoke of his proposed Bank Directorv. He was given rapt attention, and at the close of his remarks was admitted to membership in the association, and to life membership in the National Negro Business League, and was also appointed on the committee on resolutions. The attendance at this year's meeting eclipses any of former years. Twenty-five states are represented by over two thousand business men. It is hard to estimate the amount of wealth represented at this meeting, but those in a position to have a fair idea of it do not think it would be an exaggeration to put the figure at $100,000,000. Men here have engaged in every branch of business, and they are receiving the courtesies that the Yankees only can give. NASHVILLE IS AGAIN IN FOR ITS SHARE OF PUBLICITY. New York.—Nashville made the strongest appeal for the 50th anniversary of the Negro Emancipation of any city represented at the National Negro Business League now in session in this city. Judging from the recommendations of business leagues in Tennessee, the special invitation from the Governor of the state and officials high up, there is little divergence in the opinion that the Volunteer State has outbid all others in point of invitations. The city that leads the state for this celebration in the Semi-Centennial in Nashville. They propose that this exposition should be held there at what is known as Greenwood Park, a pleasure resort owned by Negroes, containing forty acres of land. (Continued on Page 4.) 9 FALLEN ASLEEP. Miss Mary Packard, who has been identified with Spelman Seminary for twenty-five years, and who has been ill for five months, died Saturday night, August 6th. During July she seemed slowly convalescing. The greater her weakness, the brighter shone her spirit. The joy of birds and flowers and love of friends lighted up her face every morning; the peace of Christian faith made her soul calm, unselfish, patient and courageous. Thursday, August 4th, she was suddenly attacked with acute appendicitis, from which she never rallied. Services were held at Spelman the following Wednesday, and at Miss Giles' Wollaston home on Friday. Burial in Mountain View Cemetery, New Salem, Mass., by the side of her mother and father. LUCY H.

BAPTIST SPLIT THREATENED IN TENNESSEE STATE CONVEN TION—MAY BE DIVIDED. This subject appeared in the National Baptist Review of August 13th, taken from the Nashville Globe purporting to have been written by some one in Memphis, Tenn. The writer states that there is dissatisfaction in the State Convention. This may be true; there are some among us, who have never been satisfied with the work of the State Convention, and they have been loud in expressing it. But they are few and far between. This element of the Baptist brotherhood, who belong to the State Convention hatch up their dissatisfaction and contention without any just cause, or without any foundation of reason, at their homes; but it there is dissention in the Baptist rank that would likely bring about a separation of the State Convention, the writer has failed to discover it, in any part of the old commonwealth. The Baptist split in the State Convention is about like the Baptist split that exists in many of our churches. There are those who murmur and complain, walking after their own lust, can not be pleased by the pastor nor deacons, nor members. Then what? Just give them a general letting alone. Do these few fault-finders in our churches indicate a split? I answer No. The working element, the true and tried members of our churches pursue the even tenor of their way. The writer has attended six state meetings of the Convention, in succession, in the state of Tennessee, and can not recall a single meeting in which perfect harmony existed, but was this imperfection an indication of a split? I answer. No. But instead of splitting, there has been a gradual growth, numerically, financially and intellectually. It is true that we have three schools in Tennessee that are fostered and maintained by the missionary and educational Baptist Convention of the state, but the men who are at the head of these schools are men of no mean ability, and their ideals are too lofty to think about a split. Those of the Missionary Baptist rank, who have taken close observation of the seven hundred Baptist churches that are dotted about in the three divisions of the state of Tennessee, if they have not a prejudice mind, will agree with me that it has been many days since a church has split in the state of Tennessee, and if it does, the preacher in nine-tenths of the cases is the cause of it in trying to stay when the people do not want him. Now, as to the Baptist Young People's Union and Sunday-School State Convention, they were a success. Many more of the real workers of the state were conspicuous at this meeting than at any previous sitting. Then away with the idea of a split. As we see it, there are no indications of a split in any one of the three divisions of the state. The intelligence of the Baptist brotherhood will be a bar to the idea of a split in the state of Tennessee. It matters not whether it was born of prejudice or fair-minded. The policy of the State Convention is that of a true miss- onary going about to do good, to help, and not to obstruct, to build up and not to tear down, good will for all and evil will for none; if any of "the active pastors were shelved," and other inactive pastors brought forward, the Convention was not responsible for such a condition; for the door of opportunity of the Convention stands open to all of her sons and daughters alike. While Baptists have the reputation of splitting, and making more Baptist churches and hence more Baptist members, the denomination in Tennessee has a record in gone-by days, when there was a general association in the eastern division of the state and no affiliation of the Baptists of the western division of the state with the Baptists of the middle division. They were called together by Revs. N. G. Merry, Cartwright and others, and organized a State Convention; the eastern division giving up its general association; the western division giving up its spirit of non- affiliation. Even since those days of darkness, we have been making progress along all lines for good. The above named split was spoken of in the days of Rev. W. G. Parks, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., Rev. H. C. Owen, Rev. Wm. Haynes, B. Th, and now it is talked of in the administration of Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D. Does this seem any more inevitable now than it was then. The above named divines were able to hold the state together, and like the stone that was hewn out of the mountain with out hands, it has expanded and become greater. E. M. LAWRENCE, Superintendent of Missions. NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL COMES TO A CLOSE. Durham, N. C., August 15.—With a grand sacred concert under the direction of Prof. F. A. Clark, of Philadelphia, Pa., the National Religious Training School and Chataquua, of which Dr. James E. Shepard is the founder and president, came to a close Sunday night. Its first summer chataquua session was a complete success, and already the venture seems to be a fixture. The attendance was over one hundred and twenty teachers, ministers and other professional people from the states of Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. Definite announcements were made with reference to the permanent work of the institution, which in all its departments will be on a rather high order. In the rel gious department, men and women will be trained for gospel work in all its phases; for the ministry, for Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. work, and a medical missionary hospital will be erected for the purpose of training missionaries for work in foreign fields. The literary courses are all arranged on a par with other higher universities which makes it a school for the leaders of the people. NOTICE The attention of the pastors and other leaders in the Baptist churches throughout the United States is urgently called to the importance of complying with the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the National Baptist Convention, requesting every Baptist church to send $1.50 to the meeting at New Orleans. Ready addressed envelopes will be sent to any church desiring them, and every church which sends in a contribution and has no messenger present at the meeting, will be sent a minute of the Convention and a badge of the 1910 session. Churches which represent by letter should send in their letter not later than the thirteenth day of September Address all matter to R. B.

The saying of "Everybody works but father" does not apply to this place, as the "old man" is generally in the forefront of all industrial activities. Arising at early dawn he gets down to hard work, adding his quota to the material wealth of Bedford County. The Negro citizens of both town and county are proverbial for their thrift and industry.

His teams are beautifully matched and high-spirited. It is a pleasure to ride behind the high FUNERAL SERVICES OF .MRS. LILLIAN HILL PAGE. At 2:30 p. m. Tuesday afternoon, August 16th, services were held over the remains of Mrs. Lillian Hill Page, wife of Mr. Eugene T. Page, of this city, who departed this life Sunday, August 14th. The services were very impressive throughout. Prayer was offered at the home on Fourteenth avenue, North, before leaving for the church. One of the sad features of this occasion was the request of the grandmother of the deceased, who was critically ill, that the procession pass her door that she might get a last glance from her sick bed. This request was granted. At the church the following program was carried out after the funeral march consisting of Bishop Tyrree, Revs. Spencer Jackson, W. S. Ellington, G. L. Jackson, Benjamin Lewis and W. Sampson Brooks, followed by the stewardesses of the church. Next came the pall-bearers: Messrs. E. L Price, A. G. Price, R. H. Green, Cage Cannon, Wesley Crutcher, J.

Throughout the state men are singing her praise because of the businesslike way in which matters pertaining to the good of the order are worked out. Her boast has always been, that her sons and daughters are ever on the alert of sacrifice, that her followers are always on the firing line pushing back those who would hold her down.

Washington, President: Gentlemen: At the last session of the National Baptist Convention of America, a delegated assembly representing 68 state organizations, 750 district associations, 18,000 Negro Baptist churches, with a membership of 2,350,000 communicants in the United States of America, carefully considered and passed resolutions indorsing the propriety of holding a semi-centennial of the emancipation of the Negro slaves of the United States of America, at some central point in or near the Southern States, for the purpose of showing to the civilized world the fifty years' progress of the people so recently emancipated and thrown upon their own resources without aid from either state or federal authorities. (See page of the National Baptist Minutes.) Our Board, which is an incorporated auxiliary to this body, would set forth to your body that we do not deem it necessary to become over anxious whether the federal or state governments, or authorities, contribute anything to this expense or not. We would respectfully urge that your body decide to go forward with this laudible movement, regardless of what the state or federal legislators, or congress, may or may not do. We would urge that a four-fold commission be appointed with representatives from each state and that we have as representatives in this commission first, our business institutions; second, our educational institutions; third, our professional men, and fourth, our religious institutions; and if needs be, our fraternal, benevolent and insurance institutions, in such a way that all of these institutions might feel free to contribute liberally in making this enterprise a success. --- ripe experience gives him an insight into the markets of the country and his many customers get the benefit of his shrewdness.

D. A. Bradberry, funeral director and embalmer of Shelbyville, Tenn., has arisen to his present standing almost unaided. Having lost his parents during the years of his infancy, by chance he fell into the hands of his uncle and aunt, who reared him to the age of twenty, when he began the carpenter's trade and followed that trade up until about two years ago. He had a hard struggle, being without the advice of mother or father. He was a young man full of push and ambition. Believing that "what others had done he could do," he entered the undertaking business about three years ago. At first his business was very slow, but as time passed on, by his continued efforts, his business kept moving and growing until at present he is able to furnish from the cheapest to the most costly casket. He owns a nice rubber tire funeral car, nice team of gray horses and a home worth about $2,000, besides other valuable personal property. Mr. Bradberry stands well in this community, and commands the highest respect and confidence of both races. He is very grateful to his friends for their patronage and influence in the past and respectfully solicits a continuance of the same in the future. Our Board would further state to your body by a glance at the map, we can see that Tennessee is so situated that it borders on more Southern States than any other state in the U and is nearer the center of the emancipated population than any other state. We would therefore, earnestly recommend a careful consideration of the claims of Tennessee and will promise in common with their business institutions that should this enterprise be located in Tennessee, at or near the city of Nashville, the capital of the state, we would readily and heartily join with other business institutions of Nashville to make this a success. Mr. Henry A. Boyd, the Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of our institution will be present and if you so request, will lay before you in person the claims of Nashville, Tennessee, and the readiness of our Board to join in to contribute to the success of this enterprise. Respectfully submitted. C. H. CLARK, Chairman Natiqnal Baptist Publishing Board. R. H. BOYD, Secretary National Baptist Publishing Board. --- AN INJUSTICE TO US.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 19, 1910. A SLAP IN THE FACE. The Republican party in Tennessee or at least a portion of the leaders in that party, have for a good many years harbored in their breasts a desire to see the day come when they could boast of having a white man's party. It is not the intention to infer that they have desired for the day to come when they could say that only white men voted for this or that candidate, but what they mean by a white man's party is that the black men shall go to the polls and vote as his white Republican brothers say vote in order that certain of them may be served out of the Federal pie pan, but the black brothers to have no say in the selection of candidates, nor in the policy of the party. The rank and file of the Negroes in Tennessee decided two years ago that they were tired of being used as a cat's paw for the benefit of the other fellows, and so then broke away from the "Grand Old Party." But there were a goodly number who felt that they could not desert the flag that they had fought under for so many years, and they could not be persuaded to do so. Prominent among that number was the Hon. J. C. Napier, for whom all are compelled to have the highest admiration. Mr. Napier has stood by his party in every crisis. He saved the day to the independents in the recent election simply because his party leaders asked him to, and after such a valiant service, his colleagues suffered that he be defeated for a place on the state executive committee, a position he had filled with honor for many years. No other motive can be assigned for such a move save to thwart whatever chance Mr. Napier may appear to have of being honored by the present Federal administration. The Negroes of Tennessee will look upon the defeat of their only representative for a place on the executive committee as a slap in the face. While it is true that the Negroes have taboed the Republican party to a great extent, they cannot fail to strongly resent this last insult to the member of the race who has stood out against great odds and has striven to hold the Negroes in the Republican ranks. He contended for what he believed to be right, but lily-whiteism is blind to justice—to the winds with Napier, Dixon and all the rest if they look like they might get close to the pie, is the inscription stamped indelibly upon their consciences. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1910 NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. The tenth annual session of the National Negro Business League is in session in New York City this week. This organization is opening the eyes of both the black and white man. The Negro is becoming acquainted with his brother in business, and the white man is learning that the black man is capable of conducting business enterprises on a large scale. Many important matters will come up for discussion at this meeting. The League in itself does not create special organizations, but out of this annual coming together several are developing. The first to take tangible form was the bankers' association, and now we have associations of undertakers, publishers and lawyers, all meeting jointly with the League. It shows that the American Negro is getting down to business and the future outlook grows brighter with the days. In ordering that loitering around soft drink stands be stopped Mayor Howse has taken a step that will receive the approval of all right thinking people. The soft drink stands are a nuisance at their best, and when men and women are allowed to congregate around them and dance and carry on in other ways indecently they become unbearable. We hope to soon see many or one soft drink stands closed. We call attention to the scholastic census that appears in another colma. It will be noticed that there are nearly three thousand more Negro children of school age this year than last. No parents should be allowed to sleep until every child is in school, and if there is not sufficient accommodations for all see that the Board of Education stay awake until more schoolhouses are erected for Negro children. New York has again given Mr. Rossevelt a cold shoulder. It seems that Teddy R. will even beat Billy B. at the "Won't you try we again" game. COMMUNICATION 1280 East Mc Lemore avenue, Memphis, Tenn. August 15, 1910. Editor of the Globe: Permit me to reply to an article in your paper of August 5th inst. This article which claims to be written from this city, predicts a split in the Tennessee Baptist State Convention. We do not know who the writer is, and have been wondering who he could be and are surprised to read such an article in your paper respecting our convention without any name signed. Its a little suspicious on this end of the field. However, whoever he is he must be an outsider, a newcomer or a dissatisfied office seeker, because no well-informed, honest Baptist would have written such an article. It is claimed by the writer that there are between "60 and 70" organized Baptist churches in this city which usually send 30 or 40 representatives to the state convention and from West Tennessee 100 or 150 and the fact that not more than 18 representatives went from Memphis, he gives as evidence in support of its prediction. There may be between 60 and 70 organized Baptist churches in Memphis, but those of us who have been trying to keep up with this part of the business have been counting between 46 and 50. But grant that there be as has been said, between "60 and 70," what about the falling off in representation in the State Convention. There has been no falling off, but there was rather an increase in attendance at the Columbia convention. The records will show that the churches represent largely only when the convention convenes in Memphis. Of course we did not have as many women as we usually have, but it was not on account of any dissatisfaction in the management of the convention. The records will also show that the following churches are the ones which usually represent in the convention no difference where we convene. First Baptist, Chelsia; St. John, Charleston street; Motropolitan, Vance and Desota; Lebanon, Florida street; Giffeld, Virginia avenue; New Salem, Preston street; First Baptist, St. Paul avenue; Tabernacle, Turley street. New recruits for the A NEW AGGENT IN NEGRO PROGRESS. (Chicago Sunday Tribune, August 14, 1910.) excepting three or four in the south that is without colored students, who pursue their studies generally with success and sometimes with distinction; Negro inventors have taken out 400 patents as a contribution to the mechanical genius of America; there are scores of Negroes who, for conceded ability and achievements, take respectable rank in the company of distinguished Americans." Here is the accent of justifiable self-respect, and this note is now to be heard in the utterances of many Negroes. No matter how depressing the circumstances in which they labor and in spite of the handicap which the wreckless and headstrong class of Negroes place upon their fellows, still his virile note of optimism is sounded. It is an indication of the essential wholesomeness and sturdiness of the race. It is, indeed, the voice of courage. To this enduring virtue there is being added a quality much more subtle—that of taste. This is teaching the Negro "not to lose himself and his racial individuality by bleaching into the white." "The Negro," Prof. Miller thinks, "is building up his own society, based on character, culture, and the nice amenities of life, and he can find ample social satisfaction within the limits of his own race." Indeed, no one can attend one of the literary or social affairs of the Frederick Douglas center in this city without realizing that. Here there is no wistfulness, no desire for the companionship of the white people. These well educated men and women, leading busy and useful lives, accepting their limited opportunities with a proud patience, are sufficient to themselves. They make their own wit, their own music, form their own views, and live their own lives. They do not constitute the fringe of white society; they are the necus of another society and one in which time and great enjoyment is to be had. Nor can Chicago afford to be ungrateful to the chief resident of that social settlement, the Rev. Celia Parker Woolley, who organized and who conducts it, providing for the aspiring colored people a fitting place of meeting where they may indulge and foster their taste for whatever is socially and intellectually fine and high. NATIONAL NEGRO. (Continue dfrom Page 1.) well adopted for such purposes. The Nashville Street Railway Company is carrying the street car line right to this park gate. The car line is being rushed to completion by Labor Day of this year. Nashville and the state of Tennessee asked the endorsement of the National Negro Business League for this celebration and their request is being favorably considered. They further said that if the celebration will come to them they will also entertain the National Business League and the National Baptist Convention and Sunday-School Congress of 1913; in other words a sweeping invitation is handed out from the capital city of Tennessee. The following letters which were read to the National League on Wednesday, the 17th, will give some idea of the interest the people of Tennessee are taking in this proposition. LETTER FROM THE NASHVILLE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. To the National Negro Business League, Booker T. Washington, President, New York, N. Y. The Negro business men of Nashville, associated together known as the Local Business League Number One of Nashville, Tennessee, have for some time viewed with deep interest the importance of a National Negro Semi-Centennial at some point in the Southern States, where the progress of the recently emancipated people, religiously, intellectually, morally and financially, might be set forth to the civilized world by exhibiting the progress made by the recently emancipated Negroes of America in the erection of churches, the building and operating of educational institutions, the religious and moral developments of the rising generation, the improvement and progress made in agriculture, horticulture, mining, manufacture, mercantile and financial pursuits. We earnestly urge your body to carefully consider the importance of the appointment of a strong commission, both state and national, equally representing each of the interests and that you fix upon a definite time and place for holding such an exposition, regardless of what state or national legislators may or may not do in the way of financial aid; that each of the above named interests be called upon to contribute their quota or pro rata of this expense. We further invite your attention to the geographical advantages of the state of Tennessee and the city of Nashville for a suitable location for holding such an enterprise. The general public sentiment in Tennessee and the racial relations are such as would justify your body in settling upon the capital of the state of Tennessee as its There is no question of politics or industry, important as these subjects are, which consumes so much of the thought and time of the men of the south as that relating to the Negro, and, while the man of the north is able to relegate it farther into the background and to get a better perspective upon it, he, too, is much concerned about it, and holds and voices his opinions. He has, moreover, often gone so far as to mistake his prejudices for facts, and he reserves a number of epithets to employ in these discussions and uses them with such zest that they hypnotize him into the belief that they are justified. It cannot come amiss to review from time to time the situation in which the American Negro finds himself. Compelled to keep in the back yard of civilization, punished even for such poor forms of success as winning a prize fight, he remains, in spite of all the worst members of his race can do to discountenance him, a figure of increasing dignity. It is but forty years since the shackles were stricken from him and he struggled out with misplaced confidence in the good will of the superior race by which he was surrounded, to play his independent part in the great scheme of western civilization. Refused credit for his virtues, laughed at for his imitation, condemned for his divergences, be wildered, lonely, seeking compensations for contumely in ways which naturally enough often were base and shameful, consigned to the worst parts of all communities, he has come up haltingly yet surely to a place where the summing up of his attainments is, in spite of all, a credit to him. Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, says of his people: "Within forty years of only partial opportunity, the American Negro has cut down his illiteracy over fifty per cent; has produced a professional class some 50,000 strong, including ministers, teachers, doctors, authors, architects, engineers, and is found in all lines of listed pursuits in which white men are engaged; 3,000 Negroes have taken collegiate degrees, over 300 being from the best institutions in the north and west established for the most favored white youth; there is scarcely a first-class institution in America. Last two or three years: Gospel Temple, Scuttlefield, North Memphis; New Hebron, Walker avenue; St. Stephen, North Third street. All these were represented except Tabernacle and First Church, Chelsia and the reason the First Church, Chelsia was not represented the pastor, Rev. W. H. Heard was too sick to be present. We also have among the new recruits Bethlehem, Molly avenue and Rev. I. S. Strong's church, East Memphis and so far as West Tennessee is concerned, we had our usual loyal representatives with the exception of Revs. Father H. Smith, A. Parr, Wm. Harwell and these were not present because they were unavoidably hindered. They belong to what the writer of that article calls administration forces. So it can be seen that there is no evidence or a split in our city—much less the State Convention. Passing over what he says about the schools and there being practically no unity of purpose among those chosen to represent the interest as board members in this end of the state and especially of the "Bluff City," etc. And coming to his final words, he says that it was understood that the object of the president of the National Convention attending a session of our executive board was to prevent a split, but that effort was fruitless. This is a misrepresentation both of Dr. Morris and the executive board. As an ev'dence of his ignorance of the object and power of the National Convention, notice what he says, "The National Convention at the New Orleans session will not be able to foster any new plans or offer any suggestions to remedy this." If he were informed he would have known better than make any such statement as that, because, the National Convention has nothing to do with such matter The intelligent thing for this writer to have done before saying so much about a split in West Tennessee, saying nothing about the state at large, was to call up Covington, Ripley, Dyersburg, Union City, Martin, McKenzie, Paris, Lexington, Milan, Humboldt, Jackson, Newbern, Denmark, Whiteville and Sommerville also Brownville and Keeling and ask the pastors at these places what about it. "I have been told by a half dozen well-informed leaders' that a split is inevitable. What about it?" Their answer would have been to the contrary, so that he would have either not written at all or he would have had a different article. WM. COLLIER. location. We also promise as business men to do all in our power, and we believe the political conditions are such in Tennessee that if it were known that your body contemplated holding such an enterprise in the capital city of the state, that our legislators, together with our business men, would contribute largely. We will guarantee sufficient grounds with both steam and electricity railway facilities to thoroughly accommodate such an enterprise. We feel confident that our park grounds would be thrown open and given fully into the hands of the commission free of cost to the institution and besides Mr. J. C. Napier, Cashier of the One-Cent Savings Bank, has been empowered by our business league to fully set forth in person the desires of our business league and business men in general of the city of Nashville and state of Tennessee, and we hold ourselves bound to fulfill all obligations made by him in the presenting of this petition from the business men of the state. Respectfully submitted, Local Business League Number One, Nashville, Tenn., R. H. BOYD, President. R. L. MAYFIELD, Sec'y. THE OBJECT OF THE GEORGE W. HUBBARD HOSPITAL To assist in furnishing the new Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital. To come in touch directly with the lives of poor and unfortunate patients. To help educate the masses to the hospital idea, and dispel the prevalent belief in the black bottle. Story of B. B. To teach that hospitals are for people who are sick and who need medical or surgical care under asceptic conditions. That after the skillful hand of the surgeon comes the soothing touch of our own young women. The trained nurse. Following closely in line, in their work and purpose and interested in all internal affairs of the hospital stands the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital Club. This club will try to touch the home life, directly and indirectly, of many unfortunate ones, no doubt will be inmates of this hospital. Under the auspices of the Club with headquarters at Meharry, mothers' meetings will be held, where topics of much interest will be discussed; how to rear healthy children; the precautions to be used during the summer; the care that should be commenced even before birth. There is a great waste of life going on the world over in large cities. Statistics show that three-fifths of the children die before they are five years old. Why this waste of human life? (Over-fed, under-fed the cause.) By these club meetings with mothers we hope to decrease the death rate. Through the splendid maternity ward at the hospital, where the Club will have a special interest we hope to increase the birth rate. Clothes will be solicited for those leaving the hospital in need of clothes. Homes will be found for those needing homes on dismissal from the hospital. We hope to find mothers for those needing a mother and a home. To accomplish the best results it is necessary to go hand in hand with the physicians and ministers. Who then can do this work better than the wives, mothers and sisters of ministers and physicians. Situated in every part of the city, connected with every church in the city (as we are), who can doubt that we can reach the entire mass of sick, decrepit and needy individuals? With the city teachers interested in this move, we shall find every child suffering from ophthalmia, adonitis, tuberculosis and many contractile diseases with which young children are often afflicted, and see that they have proper surgical and medical treatment. Not only will the Club be content when every part of Nashville shall feel the inuence and good that must result from this move, but when clubs similar will be established throughout the country. Then shall hospitals lose much of their horror and gloom to the minds of our people, but instead they shall be a haven of peace and test. Dr. Josie E. WELLS, Pres. MRS. C. V. ROMAN, Vice-Pres. MRS. F. A. STEWART, Treas. MRS. J. H. HALE, Sec'y. MRS. J. A. McMILLAN, Cor. Sec. BISHOP TYREE WILL PREACH AT ST. PAUL SUNDAY MORNING. Bishop Tyree will leave the city next week to fill some engagements and hold his conferences in Texas. Sunday morning being his last Sunday in Nashville before leaving, he will preach at 11 a. m. at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, the pastor, will preach a sucial sermon at night under the auspices of the Allen Endeavor League. The pastor states that he will close services every Sunday night at 9 p. m. On Thursday of last week Miss Eva Mae Green entertained a congenial party of friends in honor of Miss Frank Lena Bumbrey, of San Antonia, Texas. Bright lights and attractive decorations added pleasure to the occasion. From a beautiful bower, festooned with vines and cut flowers, little Misses Loutrell Taylor and Aileen Hall dispensed frappe throughout the evening. Tables were placed and partners selected for progressive whist. After many interesting games, Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney won the lady's prize, a decorated puff box, and Mr. Frank Sims, the gentleman's prize, a tobacco co jar. The consolation, a rubber spider was captured by Dr. William Allison. Miss Green was time-keeper and Mrs. L. D. Bumbrey kept the scores. An ice-course was served around the tables. Miss Green was assisted in receiving her guests by Misses Laura Coleman and Sophia Jackson. Those present were Miss Frank Lena Bumbrey, Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Williams, Mesdames L. D. Bumbrey, D. A. Hart, Wm. Hunt, J. C. Fields, Geo Pinkley, Clarissa Finley, Eugene Clayton, Misses Gertrude Mayberry, Margaret Mayberry, Josephine and Clara Lowe, Ida White, Marie Stockell, Lottie Ball, Sophia Jackson, Ruth McKinney, Alice White, Nanie Allison, Laura Coteman, Messrs. Clyde Noten, Dennis Irving, Frank Patterson, William Stockell, Samuel L. Carter, Chas. Greer, Geo. Darden, Frank Sims, Wm. Hall, Allen Whit taker, Wm. Hunt, Timothy Hockett Oliver Dismukes and Anthony Porter. Storm Party. The members of the Ladies Aid Society of the First Baptist Church supplemented by a few friends, complimented Dr. and Mrs. N. H. Plus with a storm party on Monday evening. The party met at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton and went in a body to the Plus home taking the family by surprise. Each one in the party was ladened with bundles of good things, eatables, etc. After the first shock of the overwhelming surprise, Dr. and Mrs. Plus entered into the spirit of the occasion good-naturedly and mirth and cheer reigned supreme. Short talks were made by Rev. W. S. Ellington, Prof. W. H. Fort and Mrs. Nellie Seay, in which each one endeavored to express the feelings of appreciation which actuated them to show in a tangible way the high regard in which the Plus family is held by their friends. Dr. Pius, followed by his wife, responded in words of gratitude expressing deep feeling. Mrs. A. B. Carter led in singing, "Blest be the tie that binds," after which a delicious ice-course was served, Mesdames S. P. Harris, J. B. Singleton and Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney acting as hostesses. The list of those in the party with their offerings follows: Miss Ella Fort, postum; Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Berry, jelly; Miss Lillian Bufford, sugar; Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton, sugar; Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Hendry, sugar, coffee and ties; Rev. and Mrs. Ellington, sugar; Mr. and Mrs. Green Hall, cereals and crackers; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Robertson, pickles; Mrs. A. B.

Scruggs, bread and crackers. Mrs. D. W. Crutcher, sugar; Mrs. J. W. Work, Sr., chickens and soap. Mrs. E. W. Knight, sugar; Mrs. L Fort, money; Dr. Wm. Beckham, a check; Miss Belma Mahau, soap; Mr and Mrs. S. P. Harris, flour. An Aftermath. Several weeks ago the Ladies Aid Society of the First Baptist Church gave a surprise party in honor of Mrs. J. F. Pierce, (formerly Miss Frankie Seay) of Paris, Texas. While in the city, Mrs. Pierce, who was among the charter members of this society, attended the meetings regularly and by her timely suggestions added much inspiration toward the future success of the society. This band of Christian women has given material aid to all the mammoth undertakings connected with the First Baptist Church. Now, they seem to have planned out a new line of work in that they are contributing largely toward making others happy. Already they have pleasantly sur THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1910. prised Mrs. J. F. Pierce and Rev. and Mrs. N. H. Pius and it is thought that from time to time others, who have been instrumental in keeping afoot this splendid organization, will be the recipients of the same appreciation. Leftwich-Wilson. A pretty home wedding which took place last Wednesday evening was that of Mr. Sherman Leftwich and Miss Wilson, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Annie Wilson, 1224 East Hill street. The attendants were the newly wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. King Barnes and Mr. Alfred Corley. Little Annie A. Anderson carried a silver tray containing a wreath and the marriage license. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Columbus Neal, who gave her away. Rev. T. W. Johnson performed the cermoney. Miss Lucile Gleaves played the wedding march. The house was decorated with cut flow-white lingerie dress with a veil of ancient lace. The ornaments for the hair were simple but pretty. A number of presents were received. Miss Lillie Mai Hyde Entertains. Miss Lillie Mai Hyde entertained several friends at her residence on Hydes Ferry Pike Sunday evening, August 14. A dainty ice-course was served. A few songs were beautifully rendered after which the guests took their leave. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. John Hyde, Miss Sarah McGavock, Misses Lucile Gee, Annie Pillow, Myrtle McGavock, Annette Simpkins, Gustava Pillow, Virgie E. Johnson, Estella McGavock, Messrs. Henry Marshall, L. J. Kennedy, Alonzo Kennedy, Ira Kennedy and J. B. Kennedy, Jr. * * * Ladies' Aid Society First Baptist Church. The Ladies' Aid Society of the First Baptist Church was entertained by Mrs. Adella Crutcher, Monday, August 8. Mrs. Louis Fort, president of the society called the meeting to order after the Lord's prayer, led by Mrs. G. B. Fatterson. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. After a brief business session was held the hostess invited those present into the dining-room, where they enjoyed a palatable repast. The guests were Mrs. D. Flenroy, Mrs. M. H. Bowling and Mrs. Ligon. The meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. Green Hall, at 1826 Jefferson street, Monday, August 22. *** A Jolly Good Time. The young ladies of Southwest Nashville gave a swell outing last Friday evening five miles on the White's Creek Pike, near the farm of Mr. Dozier. The crowd left the city about 9:30 oclock in the beautiful pleasure wagon of Mr. A. B. Morris, reaching their destiny about 10:45. After roving over the beautiful hills in the room-light a delicious lunch was served, which had been prepared by the young ladies.

It is noteworthy to state in the Republican "stronghold" the plurality against was marginal or carried by a large vote, while in the democratic stronghold it was the reverse. The ignorance of many whites and blacks and the Amendment voting for itself are the assigned reasons of its affirmation. It now goes before the Federal Courts to be fought out on constitutional grounds. It means a better corps. A CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks for the kindness and faithfulness shown us by our many friends during the illness of our beloved wife and mother. Amanda Davis. ANDREW DAVIS EVIE DANIELS.

Little or no trouble is expected by the police in enforcing the order of Mayor Howse, regulating the palm rooms for dance halls, issued to the police department Monday night. Up until a late hour no arrests had been made for a violation of the law, which became effective as the night detail went on duty. The Mayor's order was emphatic on barring women from the soft drink stands, and that these places must from now on be operated in an orderly manner. No piano which can be heard from the street and is installed solely to attract trade, will be tolerated. Strict construction against dancing will be enforced to the letter. This order against the palm rooms is plainly an effort to eliminate as much as possible the loitering of women in these places, especially in the dives and joints where the low class of trade is catered to. The bucket trade and the legitimate traffic will in no wise be interfered with. In a statement given The American yesterday Mayor Howse denied in no mean terms the rumor that he had associated himself in a "Round Table" organization with the Mayors of Memphis and Knoxville to take any action upon any phase of the liquor traffic. He said: "The report as in The American yesterday was correct. However, the order was not intended for places where a legitimate business is done, but for dives where men and women gather and drink and carouse. I do not object to a piano where a nickel is dropped in the slot and the customer gets his 5 cents worth of music, but no longer will any place be allowed to have music which is intended to attract attention from the street, thereby creating a nuisance. I told the gentlemen running the palm rooms on Church street and Broadway that as long as there was no complaint against their places they could do business. The report that Messrs. Crump, Heiskell and myself have formed any kind of a league is not true. I know nothing about their business, and am taking these steps purely and only in an effort to suppress the dives. No legitimate place of business will be troubled." Mayor Howse made it plain that his order further stipulated that prize-fights after the sub-rosa style, which have become very popular since the recent Reno fiasco, will be submitted along with the dance halls to the police crimp. It has been known for some time that dive-proprietors have been reaping a harvest of "easy mony" through the medium of four and five-round bouts pulled off in back rooms. NEARLY 3000 More Negro Children Eligible to Enter the Public Schools this Year. There are 39,860 children of school age in Nashville, according to the annual scholastic census, which was completed yesterday, under the supervision of John R. Turney. Of these 24,501 are white, and 15,359 colored. A total of 5,953 are listed as uneducated, or unable to read and write. Of these 3,120 are white and 2,033 are colored. This year's census shows a growth over last year of 3,577, of which 2,103 are colored and 1,474 are white. Despite the differences in the grand total of school children, the colored scholastic population has increased nearly twice that of the white. In the twenty-five wards of Nashville there are 19,140 heads of families, of which 12,298 are white and 6,842 are colored. This shows that about one-third of the heads of families are colored. The Second Ward contains more children of school age than any other there being 3,042. Of there, 2,672 are white and 366 are colored. The Fifth Ward has the smallest number, with only 276. Of these, 175 are white and 101 colored. In the grand total of school children in the city there are 12,298 white children in the city there are 7,890 males and 12,203 white females. There are 7,371 colored males and 7,988 colored females. There are only 95 more white males than females, while the colored girls exceed their brothers by 617. This is indeed remarkable when it is considered that the white children embrace two-thirds of the scholastic population. The total number of children of school are, both white and black in the various wards of the city, are as follows: Ward. White Col. Total. First 1,552 274 1,826 Second 2,676 366 3,042 Third 668 1,726 2,994 Fourth 332 831 1,163 Fifth 175 101 276 Sixth 734 51 785 Seventh 644 220 864 Eighth 777 857 1,634 Ninth 1,060 921 1,981 Tenth 1,005 255 1,280 Eleventh 660 506 1,166 Twelfth 289 971 1,260 Thirteenth 1,171 834 2,005 Fourteenth 804 1,810 2,614 Total ..... 24,501 15,359 39,860 It is evident from the face of the census returns that if the parents of all the children send them to school provision will have to be made for their accommodation. Efforts are being put forth by the women's clubs of the city to get parents to send their children to school and in all likelihood there will be a large number of children unable to get seats at the opening of school.
