THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. GONFERENCE OF AFRIGAN METHODIST AT PULASKI Large Crowd in Attendance During the Week. BISHOP H. B. PARKS PRESIDING —DR. J. Q. JOHNSON PREACHED OPENING SERMON.—ABLE EFORT — HOLY COMMUNION—ROLL CALL—ELECTION OF OFFICERS—WELCOME RECEPTION AT NIGHT—MISSIONARY MEETING ADDRESSED BY BISHOP HEARD — EDUCATIONAL MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT. Pulaski, Tenn., Oct. 28.—One of the most important and most successful sessions in the history of the Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is now being held in Pulaski, and in addition to all the conference members being present there are many visitors from all parts of the state, especially from Nashville and Columbia, and it is estimated that over 500 will be here for Sunday. The conference is presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, who is one of the most remarkable men of the race, and who is doing much to raise the standard of his church in this section of the country, both among the ministers and laymen, and the result is apparent. Turner Normal College, the school fostered by the church, is in better condition, and the reports made were of a high order. The conference opened Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock in Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church. Bishop Parks called the meeting to order and led in singing "Before Jehovah's Awful Throne," and Rev T. W. Haigler made the opening prayer and followed with the ritual service. Bishop Parks then read as a Scripture lesson the 31st Psalm, and after singing "Blessed Assurance," Dr. J. Q. Johnson, presiding elder of the Columbia District, was presented and preached the annual sermon, using as his theme "Salvation by Man." He based his remarks on the following words of the Apostle Paul: "For since by man came death by man came also the resurrection from the dead." (1 Cor. 15:21.) He said in part: "It is not to be supposed that mankind are literally going to raise themselves from the dead. When the apostle says 'by man' he refers to Christ. Jesus Christ having come a proper member of the race, the whole remedy of sin and power of salvation is included in humanity itself. Through the incarnation of Christ there came into humanity all the power of light, all the inspiration, all the life impulse of the divine man, and so all the supernatural powers of a complete salvation up to resurrection force itself. "God is not calling humanity from a distance, but from within the race. The kingdom of God is within you. The word is nigh thee. God is not far from any of us, but in Him we live and move and have our being. "Jesus took not unto himself, the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham. He has become a part of the race by birth, has entered into it, in that manner become a corporate grace of life in the race itself. He identified himself with humanity by becoming the Son of Man. He is the head of the new humanity. "Booker Washington, of our own, race, by his wonderful leadership, has shown capacity to teach two races. This man is teaching white and black the way to economic salvation. His program is now universally accepted in suite of his detractors. In an educational way he has affected the South more than any other man. This man is a saving influence in our midst. Our race need not despair as long as it can produce such leaders. "When a new nation is to be born God raises up a George Washington. When slavery is to be destroyed, He sends men endowed with power from on high, equips, commissions and charges them. The God-filled men cannot come down. Douglass, Garrison, Phillip, Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe, will not equivocate, will not retract a single inch. They will be heard." Following the sermon, Holy Communion was administered by Bishop NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1910. Parks, who was assisted by the presiding elders. It brought tears to the eyes of many when Bishop Parks asked the secretary to call the roll, and then announced that the secretary had answered to the roll call himself, and spoke of the death of Rev. Wm. Flagg, who was the secretary of the last conference. The assistant secretary called the roll, after which the following officers were elected: J. A. Jones, D. D., chief secretary; G. W. Hodge, recording secretary; M. K. Britt, statistical secretary; E. D. Keys and W. T. Henderson, marshals; J. T. Gillmore, reporter to the Christian Recorder; J. A. Crump, reporter to the Southern Christian Recorder; Chas Stewart, for the secular press. Wednesday night the people gave a reception in honor of the Bishop and members of the conference. It was one of the largest ever given in Pulaski. Rev. H. L. P. Jones acted as master of ceremonies. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Prof. A. Thomas Hill, in behalf of city schools; Prof. J. T. Bridgeforth, in behalf of district school; Dr. W. A. Lewis, in behalf of the physicians; Prof. B. H. Morrel, in behalf of the church; Mrs. Willie Meridith, in behalf of Women's Board; Rev. J. A. Jones, in behalf of the district. Rev. G. L. Jackson, D. D., and Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D., responded to the addresses. Thursday was a busy day. After completing the reports of pastors, the presiding elders reported for their districts as follows: T. W. Hagler, for the Nashville District; G. L. Jackson, for the South Nashville District; J. Q. Johnson, for the Columbia District, and H. L. P. Jones for the Shelbyville district. Thursday night the missionary meeting was addressed by Bishop W. H. Heard, of West Africa. A large crowd was out to hear the address, and they were amply rewarded for their visit. Bishop Heard presents the cause of African missions in a convincing manner, having studied the situation first-hand for over two years. A large collection was raised for the foreign work. The Bishop announced that on Friday night the educational meeting would be held. He said that a great time was anticipated. Several prominent persons were expected from Nashville. Saturday will be Missionary Day and the conference will come to a close Sunday night. Nashville and Murfreesboro are bidding for the next meeting, with chances favoring Murfreesboro, as that place made a strong bid for this year's session. Many changes are expected this year, both in presiding elders and pastors. ROBERTSON COUNTY FAIR. The first Colored Industrial Fair of Robertson County was held at Springfield, Tenn., Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21, 22. The parade started from South Main street at 9:30, headed by Offit's Cornet Band, and paraded the principal streets, and the ce to the fair principal streets, and thence to the fair grounds. At 11:30 a. m. Hon J. C. Napier, of Nashville, delivered the dedicatory address. At 1:00 p. m. pairs of mules, saddle stock, riding ring, cattle ponies and baby show. Class Nos. 2, 3, and 4. On the second day, October 22nd, at 9:30 a. m. there was a band concert. 10:00 a. m. address by Prof. E. W. Benton, of Nashville. Harness, stock, hogs, Class Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were exhibited. The contests were lively. The fair was well patronized, the exhibits were of superior quality, and many premiums were awarded. The exhibits in live stock, tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, preserves, jelly, pickle, wine, sewing, quilts, poultry and embroidery were especially fine. The fair was in every way a success and bids fair to grow into an annual event of great proportions, stimulating the colored citizens of Robertson County to renewed energy in buying and improving land, acquiring wealth, educating their children, and in every way improving themselves in the science and art of living—the foundation of true American citizenship. Much credit is due the Fair Association of Robertson County, and especially is credit due Mr. A. G. Carr, who has been for forty years a leader of his race in Robertson County and has fathered almost every movement looking toward the elevation of his people. The following premiums offered by the merchants of Springfield were awarded: 1 pair of lace curtains for the best piece of embroidery, given by Dulin, Glenn & Co. 1 center table cover for the best piece of drawn work, given by Mathews, Butt & Co. 1 box of fancy candy for the best (Continued on Page 5.) NEGRO NORMAL Location to be Decided After November 10th. NEGROES OF CHATTANOOGA PREPARING TO MAKE FINAL RALLY—WILL APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE APPROPRIATION—LIVELY FIGHT BETWEEN THIS CITY AND CHATTANOOGA—STRONG BIDDING BETWEEN THE COUNTIES—HAMILTON BIDS NEARLY $75, 000—NEGROES SUPPLEMENT IT. Special to the Globe: Chattanooga, Tenn.—The Negro normal school, which has been the subject of so much discussion and for which both Chattanooga and Nashville have been bidding, will be definitely located November 10, and on the action of the city council a the next meeting, Monday night, October 31st, depends the chance of Chattanooga to secure this addition to the educational institutions of Hamilton County. State Superintendent R. L. Jones has written the following letter to County Superintendent J. B. Brown, explaining the matter and giving the date for locating the school: Oct. 20, 1910 Superintendent J. B. Brown, Chattanooga, Tenn.: Dear Superintendent Brown—I have written to the Hon. T. C. Thompson, Mayor of Chattanooga, stating o him that the board of education would like to determine the location of the colored normal school not later than November 10: and also requesting that the matter of the city bond issue be placed in a tangible shape so that the board of education might know how to act. Unless the bond issue is in a definite shape, so that it is a positive asset for the colored school, it cannot be considered. I have written a similar letter to the Mayor of Nashville, and I understand that the city of Nashville votes on the bond issue at the November election. I have written thus to Mayor Thompson, so that Chattanooga may have an opportunity to present its bonds in a form that the board may act with definite knowledge. Sincerely yours, R. L. JONES. The whole question of the location of the school hinges on the amount of money offered for the school and $25,000 is necessary to give Chattanooga the school. The council voted to issue these bonds, subject to the vote of the people, but the election commissioners state that there is no election necessary and that it is up to the council to vote the bonds. The last chance to pass this measure is at the meeting next Monday night, as that will be the last at meeting before the school is located. The friends of the school will make a strong fight to get the issue passed by both boards Monday night. The choice for a location lies entirely between Nashville and Chattanooga, both of these counties having authorized the issuance of bonds for the school. In both counties the colored citizens have taken an interest to the extent of raising money among themselves to aid in securing the school. The city of Nashville so far is leading Chattanooga by ordering the bond proposition to go before the people November 8. The act that created the normal schools also authorized any county or city that desired to secure one of these schools to issue bonds for the purpose, without any further action or without any vote by the city. Acting on this understanding the county court of Hamilton county passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of $50,000 in bonds to secure the school. Following this action by the county court of Hamilton County, the county court of Davidson County voted to issue $60,000 in bonds to secure the school. However, the Davidson county people failed to reckon with the fact that the county court of Hamilton county had merely adjourned for a few days, and when that body met again they reconsidered their bond issue and adopted an amendment, raising the amount to $70,000. In the meantime the Negroes of the county had taken the matter in hand, and, under the leadership of Prof. W. J. Hale, one of the leaders of the county, they raised a sum approximating $11,500 to aid in securing the school. The next move on the part of the Nashville citizens was to have their council pass an ordinance granting the issuance of $25,000 in city bonds to be applied toward securing the school. This move was met by an action of the city council of Chattanooga, authorizing the issuance of $25,000 in bonds for the same purpose. The question of issuing these bonds came up at a recent meeting of the city council. It was decided that the bonds should be issued, subject, however, to a vote of the people. An effort was made to have this question put before the people at the last city election, but the election commissioners looked into the act, decided that no vote by the people was necessary and refused to put the bonds on the ballots. In order to secure this normal school the city council will have to vote this bond issue at the next meeting, as the Nashville council has already voted to allow the people to vote on this question at the November election. The word, from Nashville is to the effect that the bonds will be voted without a dissenting vote. The Negro normal has already received the strongest sort of an indorsement from business men here, such men as John A. Patten, T. R. Preston and others having appeared before the county court on behalf of the school. There will be a strong delegation present Monday night to request the city council to issue the bonds, and if they take favorable action there is little doubt that Chattanooga will get the normal school. on this subject, and they will vote THE LADIES' AID SOCIETY. The Ladies' Aid Society of the First Baptist Church met Monday, October 24, at the residence of Mrs. W. S. Ellington, on Seventeenth avenue, North. The meeting was opened in the usual way by the President, and after all business was completed an ice-course was served, which was enjoyed by all present. The following guests were present and all made encouraging remarks: Mesdames Cottrell, Sophia Wingfield, Bunch, and Dunn. The meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. J. W. Work, West Cedar street, Monday, November 14. Mrs. L. Fort, President; Mrs. G. B. Patterson, Secretary. OLD ROGER WILLIAMS GROUNDS Transferred to New Peabody Normal School for One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Dollars. Another transfer of the old Roger Williams property, out on the Hillsboro pike, which spot has been the cause of many educational rallies throughout the state of Tennessee, which tract is dear to the hearts of hundreds of students scattered throughout the United States, the very name of which has been the source of inspiring the lives of hundreds of Negroes who have gone forth into the world to make their mark in life, was made this week when it was announced that the new deed to the Roger Williams property had been recorded and filed. This transfer conveys 25 or more acres that once belonged to this Negro institution of learning, but which, since the disastrous fire, has changed hands several times, and finally goes to the new Peabody Normal School, which school, it is said, has also bought the adoining property, just across the pike from Vanderbilt University. It is stated that the consideration of the transfer, which includes many lots near the Belmont car line, was one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. This transfer records and closes every incident that connects the old Roger Williams ground with the Negroes of Nashville or the state of Tennessee. The extension of the car line in the front of the property some distance out the Hillsboro pike, and the building of fine residences in that locality will, no doubt, meet the requirements of "Greater Nashville." It will be possibly, the only section of the city that can boast of three great white schools within a stone's throw. When this school is built on the old Roger Williams site, there will be on what they now call "College Heights" Belmont College, Peabody College and Vanderbilt University. No.43 Nashville Will Lose Great Institution. PRESIDENT AT LAST CONVENTION RECOMMENDED ITS REMOVAL TO MISSISSIPPI—HIS ACTION SAID TO BE IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO CONVENTION PEOPLE OF THIS CITY GREATLY SURPRISED AT THE PROPOSED ACTION—LIKELY TO LOSE $15,000 DONATION—FINAL OUTCOME WATCHED FOR. State Normal School for Negroes to This conclusion seems to have been reached at the recent session of the National Baptist Convention held in New Orleans. The Convention did not make any publication of their action with regard to the Seminary project, but Nashville people, who are interested in the educational work, and especially the development of more schools in Middle Tennessee, have made close and careful inquiries, notwithstanding the fact that few of these religious brethren care to give out information in the absence of their official journal or proceedings. It is said that the President of the Convention, Dr. E. C. Morris, recommended that the proposed seminary be located at Kosciusko, Miss. It is also stated that an agreement was made with the Mississippi Baptist to take over one of the defunct schools of that state. Just how much truth is in this could not be learned, as Rev. Mr. Griggs, who is entering his first full term as educational secretary, is not in the city, and Dr. Searcy, the chairman of the Educational Board, who resides at Memphis, had not been heard from. Dr. Morris' recommendation, it is said, is directly contrary to the action of the convention taken in the meeting held in Memphis some years ago, which recommended the location of the Theological Seminary in Nashville. At the same meeting the convention also recommended the location of the Training School for Women and Girls at Washington, D. C. There is a prevalent supposition, however, that if the president's recommendation with regard to the seminary is sustained and the school does not come to Nashville, they will lose the $15,000 promised by the Home Mission Society of the North, whose generosity has on more than one occasion been shown to the Negro Baptist brethren. It was hoped that this theological school movement would have materialized and that Nashville would not have been disappointed in getting its location. Dr. Searcy at one time made a trip to the city and gave out information enough to substantiate the idea in the minds of Nashville people. This seminary was about assured after a close consultation with the authorities of Roger Williams University, with whom the Rev. Dr. Searcy was supposed to have made arrangement to occupy a part of their school for the first term. There are other arguments, however, saying that the president's recommendation is supreme or binding upon the Educational Board, and that the location of this school will be left entirely in the hands of the board, whom they say have labored these years trying to carry out the first order of the convention selecting Nashville and Davidson County as the proper place. This idea is hustained by the parties making the argument by the fact that the retention of Nashville as the headquarters of the secretary of the Educational Board, who would have direct charge of such an institution. His report at New Orleans showed that the first substantial move made by the Board toward the seminary was the money raised by the board, a balance of three or four hundred dollars reported on hand after most of the expenses had been paid. It may be that no action at all will be taken and that Nashville may yet boast of the ministerial school for that particular denomination. Mrs. T. P. Turner, of Pulaski, was the guest of Mrs. Gilbert White for a few days last week. THE SOUTH'S OBLIGATION TO THE NEGROES If I can at all read the signs of the times or discern the currents of political, industrial, social and religious forces, as they are running to-day, the South has just entered upon a new era, which can be made great, or can be sadly marred by her own people. This much is certain, we have passed the day when Northern passion and ignorance of the true conditions in the South can much affect Southern destiny. Failure to do the impossible, that is elevate ignorance and incompetency into the seats of power, has brought the nation to a very much sober state of mind than could have been expected at the close of the civil war when the Negro was idealized as a noble man, downtrodden and treated simply as a a bast of burden. Much of the glamour has passed, and with its going saner views are obtaining everywhere. Many things have happened and are happening every day to bring people of the nation and the world to their senses. The gradual spread of the Negroes northward, their infusion into the life and politics of the North, the race riots North, and the frequent recurrence of mobs have brought sober-minded people everywhere to the conclusion that the trouble lies deeper than latitude, or "previous condition" or color. And the acquirement of our colonial possessions, with the mixed and laggard tribes and nations coming under our flag has brought the whole nation to a realization of the patent fact that peoples differ, and by as much as they differ care must be had not to degrade the highest standards of morals and government to the low ideals of an incompetent people. The whole nation has been under that practical kind of education which an idealistic unmarried woman gets concerning the management of children—after she is married and has a house full of children of her own. It is safe to say that the South will not be much more pestered about the Negro problem, but will have a free hand to work it out for herself. for the nation and the world. It is now really becoming more and more a national and world problem, but the big end of it rests on the South, and will for an indefinite period. A WHITE RATHER THAN NEGRO PROBLEM I am free to say that in my thinking, the far greater problem in the South is the white problem. If the white people in the South will do right, deal with the laggard people among them in a humane, just, Christian and statesmanlike way, no one need dread the result. The peril of the situation is not most in the blacks, but in the whites. The Negroes, by their very nature, and by their past associations, are clay in the hands of the potter and the white race is the potter. We can mar the vessel or we can shape it for service and for glory. And further, blended as we are, the whites cannot degrade the blacks without degrading themselves. There is a law written in the moral constitution of the universe by its great Maker to the effect that all advancement is along the course of truth, mercy, righteousness, enlightenment and service. To state the case in a concrete form: If a white man cheats a Negro, the white man is hurt more than the Negro. If the white people degrade the Negroes for money, as with bar rooms, the white people have voluntarily taken a lower place than they have given the Negroes. If the white people have light and knowledge, and withhold it from the black people, the Scriptures will be fulfilled in them; From him that hath not shall be taken even that which he hath. The Southern white people are face to face, at close range, with an opportunity and a duty of tremendous import to every interest of our civilization. We can not get away from it. We can not turn it over to others. We can not evade it. We must grapple with it like Christian people, or let it rot the life out of our civilization. I will not dwell on the fact that the Negroes did not bring themselves here; that they served our race in the past, that they safeguarded our homes during the civil war, and many other things which ought to appeal to our kindlier feelings. We must face the great incontrovertible black fact: They are here, millions of them, and millions on millions more are coming along the course of nature to curse or bless the land. If they had been rained down on the land or driven from distant shores in tiny crafts which they could not guide nor control, the case would be, in substance, the same. They are here. Every one of them has an immortal soul, for which Christ agonized in the Garden and died on the Cross, and concerning which he gave His disciples charge to discipline and teach. For my part, I will not hear any one discuss the Negro, if he will not stand with me at the Cross. To me any man is a heathen, if he takes the heathen view of men. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1910. Civilization has its roots in Christianity. All progress in all directions must be measured from Calvary. This is not rhetoric; it is the simplest truth illustrated by the history of the world. The State never rises above the common level of the people; therefore, the problem of progress is to be solved by growing people. And this applies to the entire population of any country. A sober, intelligent, religious people, who fear God and regard men, will build a noble civilization on any part of the earth's surface. An ignorant, bestial, profligate race will build nothing, but will prove a burden on the productive classes. TO SAVE THEM IS TO SAVE OURSELVES. The South's near and urgent duty is to look to the improvement of the Negroes. This is urgent from every consideration, even the lowest. The 10,000,000 Negroes of America are a tremendous industrial force, handicapped in a terrible degree by ignorance and immorality. To evangelize and teach these people is to contribute directly and in the most effective way to the industrial energy of the country. It is nothing to the point to say, that if they were not here, other and better laborers would come to us. We must reckon with the fact that they are here, and the further fact that they will be in the future, as in the past and now, the mud-sill of the South's industrial system. From an industrial point of view, therefore it is the highest function of Christian statesmanship to elevate the foundation of our industrial system, as well as social system. From the Christian viewpoint, our duty is plain. We must evangelize and teach the Negroes for their sakes and ours. The spirit that would abandon them to ruin will introduce the dry rot into our churches always and everywhere. The spirit that would save others is the spirit that saves us always and saves us everywhere. It is the simple truth taught in the Scriptures, and when a church centers its concern in itself, it dies. "Whosoever will ave hi life life shall lose it" is the Master's statement of the workings of the inwrought law of the Kingdom. It works with all the certainty of gravitation and it applie sas broad as the human race. It is up to us, therefore, to evangelize the Negroes for every reason known to the Christian faith. PRESENT CONDITIONS Nothing I have said is meant to imply the contention that Southern white people alone have the burden of the African race on them. Far from it. Northern people have done a noble work among the Negroes in the South since the war, mainly through their schools. That they have not been uniformly wise may be admitted; but after subtracting all imaginable evil, a vast good remains. Relatively they will do less in the future. And after doing all they can in reason be expected to do, it will be only a little compared with the bulk of the burden left. The Negroes themselves must do most of what is necessary to their elevation. Whoever underrates what the Negroes have done since the civil war for their own betterment is either woefully ignorant or wickedly perverse. Their accomplishments read more like a story of Aladdin's lamp than a plain recital of facts, stated in figures. The Negroes have made marvelous progress in wealth and in education. They have now noble leaders, men and women of culture and vision, who are leading the race to higher ground. The leaders are, almost without exception, sane as to the proper lines of progress, and as to the relation of the races; far more so, as a rule, than Northern advisers of their race were forty, twenty, ten years ago, or even now. If I can judge properly the hour has struck for a new approach of Southern whites and Southern blacks, for a common upbuilding on the basis of acknowledged racial distinctions; but a common basis in Christianity. What the Negroes have done in the South in forty years, they have accomplished as they have been steadied and helped by the white people. There is hardly a meeting house built by the Negroes, of the tens of thousands they have, that white people have not put money into it. The whites have taxed themselves tens of millions of dollars for Negro schools. All this should go on in an ever enlarging spirit. Paralyzed be the tongue of the demagogue who would turn the helping hand of the white people away from a struggling race in our midst. Such demagogues are at best but educated barbarians devoid of the spirit of Christianity and civilization allike. HELP THE NEGRO HELP HIMSELF I am profoundly convinced that the line of real progress is along the course of racial feeling and racial pride. Not much can be done plowing across the rows. Humanity must be worked with the grain, not across it, if we succeed much. It seems to me that our efforts will count for most, if we everywhere reinforce the Negroes in their plans and efforts for progress. They must walk on their own feet and it is for us to steady their steps and lead them on till they are sufficient in themselves. Of course, white people must exercise due care not to encourage wild and selfish schemes; but every worthy enterprise among the Negroes should have our encouragement. The Negroes should be taken into every moral movement, such as antisaloon, anti-gambling movements, and the better side given ample guarantees of protection against combinations of wicked men, white or black, who would do them harm. Their preachers and teachers should have cordial recognition on all suitable occasions for the work they are doing. White people should preach for them and teach them as opportunity and need shall call. If any one thinks this beneath him, let him think that Christ died for them. It was one of the glories of Gen. Stonewall Jackson that he regularly taught a class of Negroes in Sunday-school. I glory in the fact that my first pastorate was a Negro church, and they helped me as much as I helped them. With a new approach of the races in the South, with open hearts and minds, and the free play of the spirit of Him, who, though He was the Lord of Glory, became the servant of all, we will go on together to fulfill our mission in the earth, and at last sit down together in the Kingdom of God with all the faithful. WOMEN ELECT OFFICERS Perparations are already being made by the Women's Auxiliary to the Tennessee Colored Fair Association whereby a more elaborate state fair for 1911 will be assured. The first meeting was held Monday afternoon in the parlors of Taylor & Co., on Fourth avenue, North. The meeting was largely attended by those interested in the future success of their department of the state fair. The most encouraging reports were made and each of the ladies present was enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming year. Their policy seems to have been in the past to pass the honors of first executive, or president around so as to enlist the hearty co-operation of as many of the ladies and their friends as possible. As a result, the last president, Mrs. Wm. Wilson, of East Nashville, who rendered such yeoman service, declined re-election. After transacting much business of importance and being assured by the loyal members of the organization of a larger membership for the ensuing year, the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. N. H. Pius; First Vice, Mrs. G. W. Cage; Second Vice, Mrs. M. J. Bell, Third Vice, Mrs. Alice Douglass; Fourth Vice, Mrs. M. L. Howard; Fifth Vice, Mrs. Emma Alfordffi Secretary, Mrs. H. A. Boyd; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. G. W. Perry; Treasurer, Mrs. R. H. Boyd. Executive Committee—Chairman, Mrs. Preston Taylor. Members—Mrs. Rosa Rose, Mrs. Sarah Witherspoon, Miss Georgia Sanders, Mrs. Wm. Watson, Mrs. Ella Parks, Mrs. Ramsey, Miss Sarah Jones. FIRE AT COTTAGE INFIRMARY Clarksville, Tenn.—There was much excitement in the city on last Wednesday when fire broke out at the Cottage Infirmary located at the corner of Current and Front streets. Considerable damage was done to the receiving ward and bath rooms of the institution. The fire started from a newly installed stove. The stove was delivered and installed Wednesday, and within thirty minutes after it had been inspected by Dr. Robert Burt, the fire occurred. The fire department made a quick response, but before they could get there workmen from Hale's Button Works had nearly extinguished the flames. The damage from fire and water will run up several figures, but those in charge of the institution were not able to say just what it would amount to. Dr. Burt, the physician in charge, cwishes to thank those from the Button Works and the Fire Department for their promptness and effective efforts in saving the building. PROF. H. T. KEALING AT ST. PAUL SUNDAY MORNING. Prof. Kealing will preach at St. Paul Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. He will leave November 1st for Quindaro, Kans., where he will fill the position of president of Western University. Prof. Kealing will sever his immediate connection with Nashville, and this sermon will be in the nature of a farewell sermon. No doubt a large congregation will hear him. MARRIAGES. S. C.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1910. City Improvements. Nashville is a growing city, and is fast becoming to be looked upon as one of the leading municipalities in the country. When the great organizations come together in their periodical assemblies and the time comes to discuss the next meeting place there is always some who have picked out the city of Nashville, Tennessee. This is due to her fame attained in many ways. She has come up to all expectations so far, but the present Nashville cannot be expected to meet the demands of the Nashville of the next quarter of a century. Such being the case, it behooves the citizens of this day to make such improvements as will enable the citizens who will be living twenty-five years from to-day to demand that same respect and consideration that is now enjoyed. The farsighted men of the city realize that the gas plant we now have is not adequate for even this day, and of course will not be able to meet the demands that will be made upon it in the years to come. The population of this city is growing rapidly. We may expect to have close on to two hundred thousand people in the corporate limits when the census of 1920 is taken. Knowing as we do that these conditions exist, and that it is the duty of the citizen to-day to prepare for the comfort and convenience of those who will be living here in the years to come, the voters ought to support those officials who are endeavoring to make improvements that will make that possibility sure. In some matters it is absolutely impossible to keep politics out, but in doing a thing that will help to put a city where it justly belongs, political faiths and affiliations should be cast aside and a united effort put forth. Of course every franchise should be carefully looked into before it is granted. We believe it has been done in the gas franchise case, and urge all to vote for the proposition on election day. State Normal. Out under the shadow of old Lookout the Negroes are busy in a final effort to capture the state normal college. Chattanooga is stirred from center to circumference. No stone is being left unturned to secure the school for Hamilton county, and the county that beats the east Tennessee will know they have been in a fight. Davidson County is the only strong contestant THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1910. and it is an interesting race. This city and her near city sister always make a hard race when they are contending for anything, and this one promises to be the fiercest in many years. This contest shows how deeply interested the Negro people are in the education of their children. Wherever the school is located it ought to receive the moral support of the people throughout the state. These institutions fill a peculiar place in the development of a commonwealth. No other educational agency can do just what a state normal can. The young men and women who go out from such institutions have a different reeing toward heir home state than do those who attend independent institutions. The Negro youth of Tennessee have been deprived of this asset for all these years of their freedom, but in a few days the question of a Normal College for Negroes will be settled. Every Negro in Davidson County should show to the world that he is interested in the school, and if Hamilton is the winner the glory will belong as much to Davidson County for her loyalty to the cause. The Appointment of Mr. Lewis. We congratulate Hon. Wm. M. Lewis on his appointment as assistant attorney general of the United States. It is a just recognition of ability. This appointment cannot be classed as partisan, for Mr. Lewis comes from a section of the country where the Negro vote is very small. He is a man with thorough training and of rare ability, and was appointed because of his fitness for the position. President Taft is to be commended for the good judgment he exercised in making this appointment. He has never been considered a brilliant president, but all concede that he is honest in purpose, and his ability to judge men's legal ability has been fully accorded h'm. We do not believe the President was thinking of politics when he made this appointment, but that he recognized in Mr. Lewis a man able to serve his country well in the legal department. The people are a unit on the elimination of Black Bottom. The cesspool of many years must give way to the steady progress of the times. There are other sore spots that will have to do likewise. Our contemporary, the Atlanta Independent, will not have to waste any time now with the "greatest newspaper," the "New York Age." The "Tribune," of the speedless Quaker City, is looking after her. Roosevelt and Foraker are at variance again. We regret that the "Old War Horse," who stood so nobly by the Negro troopers, could not find better company than Taft to associate with. Newspapers sometimes make mistakes, but as a rule, they hit so near the nail's head that the body, if crooked, is straightened. Jack Johnson is a democrat. What will he champion next? The Taft administration is trying hard to swing the Negro back in line, but it seems that the pendulum has been allowed to swing too far the other way. An empty coal house now looks worse than an empty excursion boat. What changes time has wrought. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Prudential Savings Bank. On last Monday night the Board of Directors of the Prudential Savings Bank held their monthly meeting in the directors' room. We were present and took part in planning for future developments. The business of the institution is being well guarded with all the necessary protection. The bank has already done an untold amount of good in saving distressed home buyers and worn and perishing business. The bank has covered much commercial territory in a short space of time. There is no question as to the future growth and success of this bank. They have proper and sane plans, and a corps of men full of business push and energy.—Birmingham Reporter. Vote For The New Gas Company! Successful, progressive business men know, and will tell you, that a well managed mercantile, manufacturing, or other industrial enterprises having a capital of Ten Thousand Dollars will often do an annual business of $40,000 to $50,000 and more. Also that such a business house or enterprise will employ from 5 to 20 people, men, women, boys and girls. A great enterprise and Two Million Dollars and Over Are at Nashville's Door Awaiting Admission at the People's Will. If true, as it is, that ten thousand dollars will do a business of from $40,000 to $50,000 every year in Nashville and give employment to from five to twenty people, what a tremendous effect for the advancement and industrial prosperity of Nashville will be the admission of these millions and their investment in the business life of the city. To the Globe: "What strange things a man sees when he's left his gun at home!" about 3,500—an amazing sight. Mr. Fred B. Smith was the speaker and fully 300 men began a new life then Since leaving home this expression has been brought to my mind many more times than once. We arrived in Boston Saturday morning, October 8th, all tired and jaded, but a "taxi" soon sped us to our stopping place at 418 Newberry street, in the Back Bay. After getting somewhat straight we went our different ways, and 3 o'clock found me in the gigantic stadium at Soldiers' Field, Harvard University. This stadium Is content and has capacity for man a thousand. In fact, a big man sitting on the other side looks no larger than a three-lear-old dwarf. The occasion was a foot ball game between Harvard and Williams. Between the first and second periods, while standing gazing and contemplating the immensity of things about me, I felt a tap upon my shoulder and there stood long, tall, lanky Leo. Sykes. How glad I was to see the boy! Pretty soon Eu gene Allen came up and we had a real old time reunion. Sunday, October, 9th, we attended a men's meeting and probably two thousand men came to hear the address and music. It was a grand sight and the services were most impressive. The speaker was Mr. J Campbell White, of New York, and his subject was "The Challenge of Christ to Modern Men"—and as a result, there certainly are to-day more really red-blooded men working in the cause of Christianity than ever before. This meeting was held under the auspices of the "Congregational Brotherhood," an organization of men aiming to add more strength to the work of the church. The meetings lasted from October 9th to 16th, inclusive, and brought forward many fine addresses and great audiences. Such men as Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, of Brooklyn; Dr. Cyrus Northrump, President of the University of Minnesota; S. Parker Cadmon, Fred B. Smith, John Gunkle Graham Taylor, Judge Coit, of Connecticut, and Dr. Forbush, of Michigan, made the program full of life and vigor. The whole and single tought was the ushering in of the working principle of "Brotherhood," which, as we all know, is the very crux of our religious life. October 16th at 3:30 Tremont Temple was packed and jammed with men about 3,500—an amazing sight. Mr. Fred B. Smith was the speaker and fully 300 men began a new life then and there. Saturday night, preceding, the National Banquet took place. 1,000 men sat down to the tables at $1 per man. The speakers were Dr. Boynton, Dr. Cadmon, President Northrupp and Dr. Jones, from England. It was a great feast. I shall not take time to go over the menu, for "it might kind o' start a nankerin' an' your mouth will 'mence to water." The quartet sang through all these meetings and gained inexpressible inspiration, for to us and our kind "Brotherhood" means much. We sang for the National Council also, and the American Missionary Association as well. Really there were so many good things said that any one man who tried to appropriate them all would be afflicted with mental indigestion. Our race was represented by Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. H. H. Proctor and Prof. Wm. Pickens, and take it from me that we were well and highly represented. Once more my race pride received a big boost. It was glorious to be living and an honor to be black. Our quartet was called upon to sing sixty-five times during these meetings, besides extra numbers sung for other occasions. The colored members of the convention were entertained at a banquet at Young's Hotel, given by the Mayor of Boston. 'The toast master was Mr. Lewis, once a famous foot ball player, whom Wilber Camp pronounced the greatest center who ever put on a foot ball jacket. It was a classy affair and much enjoyed. There were several outside gatherings connected with the general meetings, among which were several uncleoons at the Twentieth Century Club. At these meetings there were lively discussions upon vital subjects, such as "Definite Achievements of Men's Organizations During the Past Year," led by Dr. McElveen, of Illinois; "Can the Church Be a Force as Well as a Training School for Civic Affairs?" led by Judge Coit, of Connecticut. In this gathering we heard the most vigorous and pointed debasefes imaginable. It was a real free-for-all, but when the scrimmage was over, there loomed up the great towering, till conquering form of Dr. McElveen, smiling in all victorious glory. "Are City Federations Denominational or Interdenominational. Desir- able?" led by Attorney F. H. Nayes, of Massachusetts. This, too, was full of ginger and pepper with some spice thrown in. It makes a man's blood leap and bound through his veins at a break-limit speed to get among real men with some vision and conviction and hear them tell their experiences. J. W. WORK, Boston, Mass. October 23, 1910. 'LOCUST PLAGUE REPORTED NEAR. Only Birds Can Fight the 17-Year Cicada—Warning to the Country. New York, October 27.—To warn farmers and orchardists against the resurrection of the "Seventeen-year Locust" or "Periodical Cicada" that will occur in certain areas of this country next spring, a call for preserving the wild birds that destroy this pest is to-day being issued from the headquarters of the National Association of Audubon Societies in this city. Two giant breeds of these remarkable insects, that come to ravage vegetation only after incubation intervals of thirteen and seventeen years, are set down by scientists as due to descend upon this continent within the next six months. Only the birds that can be counted upon to eat up by thousands the units in this swarming locust plague will avail to avert serious losses in the coming season, it is declared. English sparrows, robins, woodpeckers, orioles, scarlet tanagers, cuckoos, goldfinches and nutmatches have been proved by the government biological survey to have rendered the greatest service in devouring these periodical cicada on their last raids of the country, according to the records that have been searched by the Rudubon workers. Eating the bodies of the locust pests or their wings and heads as well, cat birds, flickers, towhees, gnatcatchers, martins, peewees, thrushes, vireos, chickadees and flycatchers are among their other destroyers. Only two species of all the birds examined at Washington have been found not to feed upon these destructive insects. To protect these birds and all other insect eaters through the coming months is declared to be an emergency measure that must be seized upon by the farmers of the land. Shielded in tiny shells, the periodical cicada are now preparing to burst forth in countless multitudes over the fields of both North and South, the entomological experts declare. Unnumbered hosts of these weird insects will next summer slit (Continued on Page 8.)

C, Caldwell are at home to their friends in their new home in Scovel street, ‘This home is one of the most beautiful and well- appointed residences in the city, It is a two-story, the upper story in green shingles. The most pleasing fea- ture of this new home is its individu- ality. Every room shows the capgplal taste of the owners, In the dining- room, extending all around the wall, is a rack of hand-painted china paint- ed by Mrs. Caldwell.

Pearl High School. One of the most interesting depart- ments of Pearl High is its department of English. There are registered in this department one hundred and eighty-two pupils. The first year pu- pils, one hundred and eighty-hree in number, are studying Ancient His- tory as’ compiled by Morey. These classes seem intensely interesting to the pupils. They seem to revel once more with the followers of Jupiter and Juno, They live once more in ancient Greece and Rome. The strife between empires, their rise and fall, are to the students subjects of keenest interest, ‘The second year pupils read Chen- ey’s History of England. There are forty-seven in this class, To them as to all who read tle wonderful rise of the English Empire, there is a keen delight and an unbroken interest from the Invasion of the Gauls to the As cendancy of King George V. The Senior Class, numbering thirty: two, is making a profound study of American History by Ashley. These pupils seem to realize that nothing is more necessary and advantageous than a thorough knowledge of the his tory of one’s own native land, there fore they are bending every effort tc delve down to the depths of our na tional life and understand its wonder ful mechanism, its remarkable ris and unbounded prosperity, Then wi believe they will of necessity leav the school with more civie interes and greater national pride. The greatest feature of this depart ment is its offidial head in the perso of Miss Emma J. Terry. She is | graduate of Fisk University, and scholar of .wide reputation. Her pe sonality is remarkably striking. ‘Th graduates speak of their periods of ir struction wita her as most pleasas and beneficial, She is known amon the undergraduates as “The Queen, a cognomen no doubt given her be cause of her graceful carriage an charming manner. This wonderful personality blende with a varied study of past ideals ca: but make the English Department o Pearl High a factor of untold goo for all times. Chadwell-White.

I beg the indulgence of the good ‘people of Nashville and Davidson County, » people who have in the past ‘stood nobiy by me in my social and business life. I was born and reared in your midst; you know me and 1 jthink I know you to be in favor of a square deal for every one. | T have heen engaged in the under [taking business for the past eleven ‘years, and have always done my ut- |most to please my numerous custom- ers and the public generally, T can ‘truthfully say that in all of my busi- ‘ness career I have never stooped to ‘any act that would give unpleasantness ‘to any of my competitors, I have al- ways tried to do the manly thing in a manly way. | For eleven years I have worked hard for the interest of Mt. Ararat Ceme- tery, and for eight of these years my |firm was practically the only one to |use the cemetery. I have no shares or stock in either of the cemeteries. \1_am a member of Benevolent Order |No. 1, which has a onehalf interest |in Mt. Ararat, I am also secretary of |the board of trustees and a trustee of '|said cemetery. , | Notwithstanding my long years of tient service for the maintenance of ;the cemetery, the other day the mana- |ger of the cemetery denied me access to the vault; this unjust and uncalled- for act of the manager gave rise to varions tumors that are being circu- |lated that T cannot bury any body at Mt. Ararat. I deny these rumors most emphatically, and do here and wow de- clare that I cau and will give my, pa- |trons the choice of any cemetery they may desire, T Lay> s‘zned no contract with any one to work against Mt. Art tit ‘am free to act just as my patrons may orde: me. Personally I have in the past used whatever influence I possessed to get people to prefer Mt. Ararat, When the manager refused to treat me as a man and gentleman, I, of course, felt that my influence should be given to those who. will give me courteous consideration, The other cemeteries, Greenwood, Benevo- lent, Spring Hill City, etc, always give me the courtesies that I deserve, no more, no less, I carry a full line of funeral sup- plies and am in the bustness to please my patrons. Remember, while you read, that T will bury in any grave- yard that my patrons prefer. Tvery one has the choice of a cemetery and {tis my business to carry out their wishes, I resort to no act that would bring discredit to my profession. 1 have never advised a patron to have a replevin warrant issued for a dead person when said body was in posses- sion of a competitor, who had it cof- fined and ready for burial. The death chamber is sacred, and should be so considered by all, not excepting the undertaker. Tam in business for a fair profit, hoping to please my vast army of friends. I trust I may never do any- thing that will bring the blush of shame to their cheeks. In concluston, permit me to say that I shall always try to merit your approval by doing business in an honorable and straight- forward way. Yours to serve, W. H.

SPORTING NEWS. 8 The foot ball game that will likely be of the greatest interest to local people will take place Saturday when Pearl High School's little team will stack up against the strong team from Burrell Normal School. Prof. White, of Burrell is a very careful coach, and his team is better this year than it has ever been before. His team is a veteran aggregation, and large and fast to boot. According to the dope the Burrell team looks to have the call on the Pearl boys and the betting should be about two to one in favor of Burrell. The game will be played at the Athletic Park and will take place rain or shine as there will be ample shelter from the weather for all who come. Great preparation is being made at Pearl High this week for this game. The team is working hard, the school is preparing its cheers, and the girls have made a number of very pretty pennants. The teams will probably line up as follows: Pearl. Burrell. Buford . L. E. . E. Portlock Allison . L. T. . Hampton Winston . L. T. . McLean Peyton . C. . Gibson Davis. H. . R. G. . McClure Gray . R. T. . Rose. Waddy . R. E. . Armstead Johnson . Q. B. . Pruitt Hurt . L. H. B. . I. Portlock Scruggs . R. H. B. . Brewer Davis. L.* . F. B. . Pool* * Captain. LOCUST PLAGUE REPORTED. (Continued from Page 4.) young trees and deposit toblight their tender sprouts the eggs that will bring forth the species seventeen years hence, it is assured. Apple, peach and pear orchards and vineyards will feel their destructive power, the government authorities admit, unless an abundant force of the wild birds is preserved to lead the fight against the impending insect plague. Comprehensive state laws for the protection of the insect-eating birds and widespread efforts to shelter and feed them through the storms of next winter are advocated in this emergency by the National Association of Audubon Societies, which has for years urged the people of America to consider such problems from the economic standpoint. "The fear of the locust plague that is now spreading over the agricultural sections only points sharply the moral of our general campaign," said William Dutcher, President of the National Association of Audubon Societies, at its headquarters, 141 Broadway, to-day. "For years we have been working to arouse the country to the danger of the destruction of the insect-eating birds, that will be invaluable in this particular case as they are in every case of insect pests. Since 1634, when these so-called 'seventeen-year locusts' descended upon the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth, the agricultural prosperity of this country has been constantly menaced by insect encrochments that can be met only by the birds that Nature has provided as checks, not as targets for pot hunters." Mrs. A. M. Kelly, of Columbia, spent Saturday and Sunday here. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1910. Substitutes for Burrell: Glenn, Neville, Simpson. Substitutes for Pearl: Perkins, Reed, Allison, Chrismon, Bright, Stockell, Brooks. It will be worth the price of admission to see Brewer the big half back of Burrell in action. On defense the High School will be on par with their opponents but on the offense it now looks as though Burrell has the call. This will be one of the best games of the year. Don't fail to see it. --- JACK JOHNSON TO MAKE FIRST POLITICAL SPEECH. New York, Oct. 27.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, actor and automobile racer, will appear in a new role next Wednesday, when, as a democrat, he is to address the Negro voters of the thirteenth assembly ("San Juan Hill") district, this city. Through the efforts of John F. Curry, democratic leader of the district, the champion was persuaded to make his maiden political speech. CASE AGAINST JACK JOHNSON DISMISSED. New York, Oct. 27.—When the case of Norman Pender against Jack Johnson, the heavyweight pugilistic champion, charging assault, was called for trial here yesterday, the complainant did not appear. The indictment was dismissed. IMPRISONED IN A REFRIGERATOR CAR. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 27.—(Special.)—Imprisoned in a refrigerating car containing cheese, eggs, butter and meats for nearly five hours, Robert Powell, a truck hand at the Louisville and Nashville freight house, was barely alive when discovered and taken from the car. The temperature was about 40 degrees. He had become stiff and was in a semi-conscious condition. Vigorous rubbing and stimulants revived him and he was restored to health. INDICTED FOR TRAIN WRECKING. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 27.—(Special.)—Morris Brown, a Negro who is alleged to have confessed to Birmingham officers that he wrecked the southeastern limited vestibule train on the Louisville and Nashville road six miles south of Montgomery on July 31 last, has been indicted by the Montgomery county grand jury for train wrecking and also for the murder of Engineer John Golns, who was killed in the wreck. HEAD CUT OFF BY FALLING DE- BRIS. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 27.—Vibration from a passing street car caused a cave-in which killed three Negroes at an excavation at Pryor and Constance streets to day. A fourth Negro, a white man and a team of mules were also buried, but were rescued after suffering minor injuries. The force of falling dirt and stones was sufficient to decapitate one of the Negro victims. Misses Nettie and Bertha Gwyn, of Columbia, are in the city the guests of Mrs. Irene Dowell, of Fillmore street. NEGRO NATIONAL PUBLISHING BOARD. By J. M. Frost, D. D., Secretary Southern Baptist Sunday-School Board, in the Home Field. In the United States there are considerably more than two million Negro Baptists, and they have their churches, associations and conventions, working together in harmony and in somewhat organic unity, and all with one great purpose, to fulfill their mission for the Kingdom of God. They are much like the white Baptists—in their organization more like the white Baptists of the South than of the North. This comes in part from instruction, and in part from imitation, but largely also from their own working out of New Testament principles, doctrine and practice. I doubt if we have yet half realized what the Negro race may yet be in this country, and in the world for maintaining the simplicity of the gospel and its rich provision for improvement of the human family. Baptists as rightly considered are not "the church" with its people, but are a great people numbering many millions with their many churches, local in character and influence and power, as may best meet their needs for the expression of Christian life and belief and service. The Negro Baptists are a mighty host with the others, and are like them in the great fundamentals of Christian truth. The Negro National Baptist Convention has the whole United States as its territory; and in organic structure and method it is much like the Southern Baptist Convention; its sessions are made up of delegates from every State in the Union and numbering many hundreds of earnest men giving themselves for the things pertaining to the Kingdom. It has been my privilege more than once to speak in the sessions of this convention, in behalf of one or more of its great enterprises, and I have been tremendously impressed with its power for good and its efficiency in the management of its affairs. This National Convention has its National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville. I have had the privilege of watching it from the first, and have seen it grow from an unpromising start, and have rejoiced to see it come to its place of great usefulness among the Negroes, as an enterprise of their own, worthy and successful in every way, and a tremendous agency for good. It was found some thirteen years ago, in a movement led by Dr. R. H Boyd, a very able Negro, and of remarkable executive and initiative skill. He has made a great record for himself in Nashville though coming here as a total stranger at the beginning of his work. What he has accomplished for his race in founding a great publishing house and in making a literature for his people, is not surpassed so far as I know by any man or set of men among them. The National Publishing Board commenced at the very base with absolutely nothing, except a few earnest men with a great purpose, and with hearts to serve God and their fellows. They chose Nashville as the base operation because of the great printing facilities here, and the success of the Board has been remarkable and its career phenomenal. It used other printers at first, but now they have a fully equipped plant of their own, and do their own printing with workmen of their own race. Its chief publishing business is the making of Sunday-school periodicals, numbering ten or a dozen and aggregating for the year nearly twelve million copies. It also issues in this same line the National Baptist Sunday School Commentary, an annual 8mo, cloth bound book, thoroughly creditable in every way, and having each year the remarkable circulation of eight thousand copies. It has also issued a song book adapted to the needs of the Negro Baptists, and which has proven very successful. There are also other books and a large number of tracts. All this is done by Negro editors and writers and managers and workmen, who do the work on their own machinery and through their own plant. It addition to all this the Negro Board, under wise leadership and skill, has created and is operating other lines of business and manufacture, such as making church furniture, etc. It has its own plant, in the way of ground and building and machinery, and full equipment of every kind and untidable in character. They can make a book, commencing with the manuscript from the writer and delivering it in completed form to the reader. They can make church pews and church pulpits from the rough wood of the mill to their full completion for service in church buildings, and it is all in the hands of Negroes, and is conducted in a most successful way. The business of the concern has grown to immense proportions, and holds a commanding place among the things being done by the Negroes and for the betterment of their race—all tending to the improvement of their condition in giving them a better citizenship and in making them more useful in the national life. Among other things, too, and as a mighty factor for good, this Negro HADLEY'S PRIVATE INFIRMARY FOR WOMEN ONLY It is for the interest and welfare of every woman, not only to understand the means for the preservation of health, but also to know what remedies should be used for the alleviation. This infirmary treats female diseases of all kinds. DR. HATTIE HADLEY, 1246 Maple St., Nashville, Tenn If it be GROCERIES SEE R. L. MAYFIELD ATTORNEY PRACTICES IN ALL THE COURTS Office, 419 1+2 Cedar Street Phone, Main 2703 Will Be Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C.—Following closely upon the heels of the recent announcement of the employment of a new Register of the U. S. Treasury, and before the press of the country could finish discussing it, the President this week made another move that forces him into the limelight for public gaze. The appointment so rumor has it was agreed on by the President and Attorney General Wickersham. Just what duties will be assigned to the new assistant when he takes office has not been decided. The appointment is said to be in in line with President Taft's policy of recognizing Negroes in the government service, but taking these appointments as far as possible out of the southern states where friction has been caused in the past by Negro Federal officeholders. Wm. M. Lweis, who is President Taft's choice for assistant attorney general, is at present in charge of the naturalization cases for the United States attorney for the Massachusetts district. Mr. Lewis was born in Portsmouth, Va. and after being graduated from Amherst College, 1892, entered the Harvard law school, from which he graduated in 1895. During his stay at Harvard he played center rush on the 1892 and 1893 football teams and has been one of the Harvard football coaches up to within a year or two ago. He served one year in the lower branch of the Massachusetts legislature. He was appointed an assistant United States attorney in 1903, and has been connected with that office ever since. ```markdown ``` Publishing Board is a Sunday-School Board. It has in charge the Sunday-school interests of the Negro Baptist churches of the country at large, and is doing much, very much for fostering and directing their Sunday-school cause. They have their Teacher-Training Course which they themselves have wrought out with real ability and which they are conducting with unusual efficiency. Then there is also under the auspices of the Board the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress which is in full harmony with their National Convention and under its approval, meets annually to discuss the Sunday-school interests in a directive and inspirational way. These are all mighty agencies, each separate within itself, and yet all combined in a co-operative way for the one great work. Taking these things altogether no one can forecast their mighty influence and fruitage for the future. In co-operating with this Negro Publishing Board to help the National Baptist Convention it also has a well-ordered Home Mission Board, of which Dr. Boyd is also the secretary and treasurer. By direction of the Southern Baptist Convention our own Home Board is working in co-operation with the Negro Home Board to help forward its work, and is thus helping a worthy people at a most strategic point. I was with Dr. F. H. Kerfoot when, as Secretary of the Home Mission Board, he first inaugurated this co-operative plan. It was a small beginning, and yet he put into it the thinking of his great mind and the warmth of his great heart. Every advance that has been made since has been altogether worthy and commendable, and ought to appeal to our people in every way The co-operative work of the Home Mission Board for the Negroes gives co-operative sympathy, such financial help as is at the disposal of the Board, and yet leaves the Negro-to direct his own affairs and to make the best possible out of himself. It helps the Negro that he may help himself and it honors the Negro that he may honor himself. In this concluding remark I venture to suggest that if any reader of this paper, which I have written out of my heart, should chance to look in on the plant of the Negro Publishing Board, he will be thoroughly convinced that I have not in any way overstated the facts, but rather have hardly done them justice.

London Evening News Held to be in Contempt of Court. London. Oct. 27.—The High Court to-day fined the Evening News $1,000 for contempt of court in having published the story of a conference between Richard Muir, the prosecuting counsel, and the Quartermaster of the steamer Montrose, in which the sh'p's officer revealed a plan which he and Dr. Hawley H. Crippen had made to bring about the latter's escape from the steamer when he was being pursued by the British authorities.
