THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. DR. STEWART IN ENGINEER'S SOCIETY HALL NEW YORK CITY. Appears as a Representative of Fisk U. A CAMPAIGN IN THE INTEREST OF HIGHER EDUCATION—FISK GRADUATES ENGAGED IN PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND THEOLOGY—NASHVILLE REPRESENTATIVE A MAN OF HIGH STANDING A CITIZEN OF NASHVILLE OVER TWENTY YEARS—HAS DEVOTED ALL OF HIS TIME TO HIS PRO New York City, N. Y. Nov. 29—In the spacious Engineer's Society Hall, and in the presence of one of the most noted audiences ever assembled in this city, Dr. F. A. Stewart, of Nashville, Tenn., who appeared on the program at a meeting held in the interest of Fisk University, told in well chosen words what the needs of the Negros of the South are from a medical point of view. In a five minutes talk he said among other thing: The work of educating Negro physicians was begun in 1868; at that time many people doubted the ability of the Negro to become skilled surgeons, and successful practitioners of medicine. During the first years of this work the educational requirements for the study of medicine were low, and as a result a considerable number of men were graduated who had received little or no training. Fisk University and other schools for the higher education of the Negro were in their infancy, and few were properly prepared to begin the study of medicine. However the requirements for admission to Negro Medical Schools have been gradually raised until now at least a four years' high school course or its equivalent is demanded and a college course is urgently recommended. The result is that we are now graduating each year from our medical schools not a few physicians who are splendidly equipped for their work. Many of these have received their preliminary training at Fisk University. We have a few Negro surgeons in the south who are doing all classes of surgical work and who by their skill are addind hundreds of years to human life. We need many more such men. The competent Negro physician in the south is growing daily to be more of a necessity because as the people grow in intelligence, they demand better service of their medical advisors, and also for the larger reason that most white physicians who are best prepared for their work have neither the time nor the desire to do the practice of Negroes. I do not mean by this, that they are not kindly disposed towards the Negro physicians; for their treatment by the white physicians of the south has been excellent. As a rule they have been well received, kindly treated, and assisted when ever they needed aid. Frequently it has been stated that colored men who have had a college training or have taken a professional course of study do not make good use in after life of the educational privileges they have enjoyed, and that many of them may be found working as barbers or serving as waiters or Pullman porters. Most of our men who are seen in such places are students who are trying to earn, in an honorable way, money, with which to complete their education, ninety-five percent of the graduates of Fisk University are positively helping to elevate the masses by serving in some professional capacity. While Fisk and other institutions are graduating a considerable number of young people each year the number is very small when compared with the demand. It is estimated that there are now eight million of colored people living in the Southern states, and that there are about sixteen hundred Negro Physicians to minister to them or one physician to five thousand of his people, whereas among the white race there is one physician to every five hundred of the population. The large cities and towns of the South NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1910 M. B. DR. F. A. STEWART, Nashville, Tenn. are fairly well supplied with Negro physicians, but in the country districts very few are found. In Mississippi with a colored population of nearly a million it is reported that there are about fifty regularly educated Negro physicians. The mortality among the Negroes of the South is large. It is safe to say that one-half of the deaths result from preventable diseases and chief among these diseases is consumption. Preventative medicine is the watch word of the medical profession of the twentieth century, the truth of the old proverb "an once of prevention is better than a pound of cure" being realized perhaps as never before. Before the war when the Negroes were slaves consumption was an infrequent diseases; now it is one of the most common diseases with which the physicians has to contend. It is probable that it produces one-third of all deaths among the Negro population of the South. In the large cities of the South for every white man who dies with consumption from two to four Negroes die. Where are we to look for the cause of this alarming condition of affairs? Improper ventilation, unwholesome food, insufficient clothing, personal uncleanliness, unsanitary surroundings, ignorance of the laws of health. In many of the cities of formed leagues to fight this and other diseases by lecturing to the people in their churches, visiting them in their homes, and furnishing them with medicines, spit cups and wholesome advice. In this way the mortality has been materially lowered; and much remains for the educated physician to do. and we of the South realize as never before that our best efforts must be used in trying to prevent this truly destructive malady. The Negro physician is also service in furnishing information to his people in regard to the harmful effects of intoxicating drinks, opium, morphine, cocaine, and patent medicines. In conclusion my friends of the North I would have you know that the crying need of the Negro race in the South at this time is, not for more waiters, nor Pullman porters, but for more educated men and who are thoroughly trained in medicine, surgery, law theology and as teachers to fill the places which are waiting for them. The question no longer is. What can your graduates find to do? but rather, Where can men be found to do the work? Well prepared men to lead, to teach, to instruct the people. What little I have so far been able to accomplish for my people and for the betterment of mankind, I feel is largely due to the early training which I received at Fisk University, and to the principles which were there instilled into me being the character-forming period of my life. In this connection however, I would not forget to mention and to thank the many friends of the North who for years have given of their means to make Fisk University possible and to help the (Continued on Page .4) Annual Report Submitted to Superintendent. In the matter of instruction the teachers have been earnest, competent and progressive. Each teacher seems to have been working with but one end in view—the intellectual and moral advancement of the pupils. The classes appear to be in better condition than at any time in their history. This improvement is due to the fact that the teachers have taken pains to prepare themselves for their important duties. Sixteen pupils were graduated on the night of June 10-9 boys and 7 girls. For the first time in many years the boys out-numbered the girls. The occasion was the 22nd annual commencement of the school and the exercises were witnessed by one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the city. This wide spread public inetearest speaks in loud terms of the popularity of the school. Manual Training and Domestic .. Science. The departments of Manual Training and Domestic Science which were established three years ago have taken firm root and are full of promise of Instruction. Graduation good result in the future. The girls take delight in their work and are happy when the hour for cooking arrives. The boys are equally enthusiastic over their wood work and often give up their recess to finish a job. Need of a New High School While the excellent condition of the school is a matter of personal gratification to me, who holds its destiny in trust, candor compels me to state that some features are not just what they should be. The greatest need of the school is a new building, planned and equipped for high school work. The transfer of the seventh grades from all over the city to the first floor of the high school building has caused the transfer of the 8-B grade to the high school floor. This has resulted in a very crowded condition. The number of pupils in some classes running as high as 50 and 60 to the teacher. The seating and classification of grammar grades on the same floor with high school pupils is a bad arrangement. A high school and a grammar school are essentially different. While the work of the high school is an extension of the work of the grammar school, the subjects are different and the methods of instruction and discipline are also different. A high school building should be differently constructed from a grammar school building. It should include a laboratory in which to do the work in physics and chemistry. This we have never had and the work in science has suffered accordingly. These remarks will show that the need of a new building for colored children, planned and constructed for high school purposes has become a necessity. Obstacles to the Best Work. Obstacles to the Best Work. Successful work in the high school has been hampered to some extent by two great obstacles—poor work in grades below the high school and poor attendance. Pupils sometimes reach the high school who are deficient in English. Time has to be taken to teach things which should have been learned in lower grades. The question of attendance in the high school is more serious than in the grammar schools. The pupils are large and old enough to work. A large per cent of them are in service. Their time is not their own. Sometimes they are detained by their employers, a few of whom do not always manifest a sympathetic disposition to let them off to school. This is a condition, however, which we can not control and we are meeting it as best we can. Conclusion. During the past year I have labored diligently to promote the highest welfare of the children of Pearl High School. If I have succeeded in any measure, I owe it to the kind advice and friendly assistance which I received from the superintendent of the schools. Deeply grateful to him for his co-operation, kindness and uniform courtesy, I am. REV. PIUS AT ROGER WILLIAMS. The Rev. Pius, of the Publishing Board delivered a very sane and appropriate address before the student body at Roger Williams the morning of Thanksgiving. He presented to us many beautiful phases of public life that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard him. His principal thought was the idea of being thankful. Rev. Pius is a forceful speaker in the first place, and to bring to us this message of thankfulness at such an opportune timeR is a treat rarely enjoyed by ardent hearers. We thank him very much and hope he will come again at his convenience. The Y. W. C. A. of Roger Williams has received many letters from the delegates who were its guests during the conference bel here in Nashville a few weews ago, expressing their kindly appreciation for the hospitality tendered them by the aforesaid association. It is the purpose of not only this organization but the school as well to render whole-hearted service to those who need it. The Debating and Literary Society of the University met last Friday evening with Mr. F. E. Jeffries, '13 presiding and elected the following officers: Mr. S. B. Thornton, president; Mr. H. L. Davis, vice president; Miss Maggie Polk, secretary; Miss Maggie Lane, assistant secretary; Mr. L. E. Logan, treasurer; Mr. A. J. Pullen, news reporter; Mr. Willie Andrews, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Estelle Walker, organist. The new officers will be installed next Friday evening, and it is hoped that the literary society will go to greater success under the new regime. No.48 Bishop Tyree Writes the Globe of his Success. ALL CONFERENCES HELD—$11,207. 75 RAISED FOR DOLLAR MONEY FUND—MANY MEMBERS ADDED —CHURCHES AND PARSONAGES BUILT AND REPAIRED—TAKES HUNTING TRIP FOR QUAIL, DEER AND DUCK — WILL BE HOME SOON — BISHOP TYREE THE FATHER OF MONEY RAISERS FOR EDUCATION. The Globe is in receipt of a letter from Bishop Evans Tyre which tells of the great work he is doing in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the state of Texas. The letter reads as follows: Corsicana, Texas. Nov. 28, 1910. To the Nashville Globe, Dear Editor:—I am addressing to your valuable paper my first lines during its existence. I do so feeling that my many friends will be pleased to hear that we have had a pleasant round of conferences. We have been very pleasantly entertained everywhere and have closed the last Conference with pleasing results. Our Dollar Money has increased with every Conference and we have reached a total of $11207.75 with an increase of $1361.68. Many members have been added during the year, quite a number of Churches and Parsonages built and repaired, giving great satisfaction to those of us who have labored so ardouously to bring up a round report for the year, and now that it is over I need not say that the writer is very much worn, for that goes without saying. Now we are off to the woods for qualls, deer, ducks and all sorts of game. More for recreation however, than for what we expect to achieve in the line of game. One brother hearing my dictation says "If I see a bear I am gone." My answer to him is: "That I intend to be gone before I see him in order that I may take more time in going." Praying God's blessing upon you and friends and hoping the political storm is beginning to subside before my arrival, so that I lay peer through the dust to my friends as of yore, sound and safe. It will be remembered that the churches in the Lone Star State have raised for education this year $13,077.40, which makes a total of $24,285.15 raised by Bishop Tyree and his loyal followers in one year. Paul Quinn College, fostered by the connection at Waco, Texas, had been redeemed and put on a solid foundation. Bishop Tyree is the father of the raisers of money for education in Negro churches. When he was elected to the Bishopric in 1909, in Columbus, Ohio, he said he felt that his ambition had been climaxed and being a natural worker the thing that caused him the most worry was what to do to break the monotonous routine duties of a bishop. While pondering over the matter it dawned upon Bishop Tyree that down in Mississippi and over in Arkansas there were two Negro Colleges struggling for an existence, and he set his heart on doing something to put the two schools on their feet. How best to do it was the next question. It was not believed that the members could be aroused to a spirit of liberality under the low of the Church as it then was. Some new plan must be mapped out. No time was lost in formulating and everybody was in a few days put to work and in the first effort the state raised over ten thousand. Bishop Tyree kept up his plan four years, until the meeting of the General Conference in 1904 in Chicago, at which the law of the Church as it then was, and now every state has its own school to support, and the new plan has proven a success throughout the connection. The McNairy Hill Club had an entertainment Thanksgiving and raised $1,460. CALL FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS Our Christmas Programs this year are better than ever before.

There are so many points and matters of interest around Boston that it is almost impossible to pass them over without some expression. In fact, in some respects, Boston is the most interesting spot on this continent at least so the Bostonians think. Some of these points are historical, some social, some economic and some political. Politically, Boston is a puzzle to the visitor. Elections come so fast and furiously that the stranger is amazed and the candidates of the opposing parties, according to the campaign speeches and documents, are the most wonderfully and fearfully made men in all God's creation. His friends call their candidate an angel and a genius, while the opponents call him the incarnation of all the stuff of which failure and destruction are wrought. From the standpoint of the black man politics is ever a turmoil, but on the whole, the Boston Negro, politically, is about as pronounced and as independent as can be found anywhere; and be it said to his credit that his political course is wise, for the office-seeker certainly cannot wholly ignore him with any degree of political safety. They handle the liquer, or rather the saloon question in a peculiar way. No man can go into a saloon in that city expecting to be hid, unless he hides behind another man, for there are no curtains or screens. Drinking is done in the open and above board. Any body and every body who enters a saloon in "Beantown" is in the spectral glare of the public, but that does not seem to interfere with the bartenders' business, for they do a rushing business, and if there is any place where there is more wide-open street drunkenness than there is in the Hub, its location and name would be an acquisition. Where there is much drinking there is also much pugnacity, and for this quality Boston takes the palm. You can be accommodated any time you seriously desire to see a scrap. This element of city life is furnished by the overwhelmingly foreign part of Boston's population. There is, however, a mighty struggle going on there for civic betterment, and any man who doesn't act right, and who is not good in Boston just doesn't want to be good and must be otherwise in spite of some of the mightiest preventatives to evil and strongest inducements to good that any modern city sets before its citizens. Churches, libraries, philanthropic societies, doors of hope, personal workers, art galleries, museums, parks, kind-hearted people, fine 2 To the Globe: schools, missions, monuments to heroes, graves of famous men, stalwart police department and an army of civil officers furnish a fine reason for being good, and in the final analysis no man in Boston can give any good excuse for being anything else than good or at least respectable. One more point of interest in the culinary department. It is easier to get fed in Boston than in any other large city the writer has ever visited. There is an untold multitude of restaurant and eating shops that are anxious to accommodate the hungry man. The most interesting place of this kind is called the California Cafeteria. You walk into the room, pick up a tray which has on it a napkin and knife, fork and spoons. Then you pass along the counter where you call for meat, potatoes, bread, pie, cake, coffee and water and whatever else you wish. Next you pass a desk and a clerk crops a check with the amount of your meal, upon the tray and you place your tray upon a table and eat. In passing out you must pass the cashier where you pay up. There are no waiters, so you do not have to tip. Men are hired to remove the dishes. The plan is novel and entertaining. Historically, Boston is in a class by itself. Almost every foot of ground is sacred to the memory of some great soul who did some good to mankind. Boston Commons, a fifty acre tract in the heart of the city bought about 1634 from Wm. Blackstone by Governor Winthrop and others for a common pasture, is now practically a park where thousands of people sit and rest through the day and squirrels and pigeons eat of your hands with perfect confidence. On one side facing the state house on Beacon street is a noble monument to Col. Robert Gould Shaw, who took command of the 54th Massachusetts regiment during the Civil War. This was the first colored regiment recruited during the struggle and Col. Shaw, a graduate of Howard College, led them in that famous charge upon Fort Wagner. The Fort was not taken and the Colonel was killed in the charge, but the courage and death-defying patriotism of the Negro was re-exhibited and re-emphasized and the young colonel was immortalized. The monument is a magnificent piece of work. It is stone and bronze, showing the commander on his noble steed, surrounded by his black troops. It is the work of St. Gardens. Down further there is the monument to Crispus Attucks, the Negro who was killed in the Boston Massacre, while leading an attack upon the British soldiers in front of the old state house. Passing, around the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1910 WE HAVE THEM NOW ON THE SHELVES WAITING FOR YOU R. H. BOYD, D. D., Secretary. city you find the old North Church, from where Paul Revere got his signal to alarm the people of the approach of the English; the old church where Joseph Warren came through the window to address the Boston populace during the troublous times of the Revolution, and where many relics of those old days are still kept, among them the skull or Gen. Warren, showing the hole made by the gunshot he received at Bunker Hill. Fanenil Hall, the "Cradle of Liberty;" the old cemetery, where lie the bodies of John Hancock, who wrote his name so plainly when he signed the Declaration of Independence that the King of England needed no spectacles to read it; Samuel Adams, upon whose nead the King placed a bounty; Paul Revere, who made that famous ride known to all school children; James Otis, one of the leaders of Revolution days; Crypus Attucks and many other worthies. There is also that Punker Hill monument standing where the battle of Bunker Hill was not fought; the Washington Elm, under which George Washington took command of the Continental armies, standing in front of old "Howard;" Charles River, spanned by the bridge on which Longfellow wrote, "I stood on the bridge at midnight;" and a few miles out there are Lexington and Concord, where the first battle of the Revolution was fought. Yes, in and around Boston, history is stamped everywhere and it is an education to linger among her shrines. HELENA (ARK.) NOTES. Mrs. M. C. Simmons, of Poplar street, entertained Thanksgiving at dinner in honor of Mrs. Moore, of Kansas City, and Mrs. Sampson, of Illinois. Others present were Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Peck and Mrs. Kenard. FRANKLIN NOTES. Rev. T. D. McGhee, who is pastor of the church of Holiness, is carrying on his convention this week. Mr. H. J. Ewing was in Nashville last week on business. Mr. Wm. Johnson, $ ^{c}$ Kansas City, was called home to the burial of his grandfather, Mr. Bolden Reddick. Mr. Bolden Reddick was buried last Friday. Mrs. Drusilla Scott is improving this week. Dr. Allen, Mr. F. D. Williams and others were in Nashville last Thursday to see the Fisk-Meharry football game. Mr. D. W. Patton was in Nashville last week on business. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Patton were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Ewing last Sunday. Mrs. Norah Patton, of Columbia, is visiting relatives and friends of Franklin this week. Mrs. Wm. Redmon and her little Nashville, Tennessee children were in Franklin last week visiting her parents. THROWN FROM CART AND KILLED. On last Wednesday morning at 8:30 o'clock, Mr. Bolden Reddick was thrown from the corporation cart. When he was found his neck was broken and he had bruises in several places. He died about twenty minutes after the accident. Mr. Reddick has been in service about twenty years for the corporation. He was good citizen, a member of the K. of P. and a well-wisher or everything that had a tendency to raise the standard of his people. His funeral services were at the A. M. E. Church, Friday afternoon, conducted by Dr. Denny, Revs. A. N. C. Williams and F. C. McGhee. Mr. Reddick leaves a loving wife and one son and a number of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Thanksgiving afternoon the Forget-Me-Not Art Club entertained very charmingly at the residence of the President, Mrs. J. A. Hughes, in the form of a "Thanksgiving Offering" for the benefit of the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital, Nashville. The reception rooms were beautifully decorated with the club colors, blue and yellow, and in the dining-room, where sandwiches and chocolate were served the Meharry colors—red and black—predominated. A number of invitations had been sent out by the members, and during the reception hours quite a number called and left an offering for the hospital, for which the club is very thankful. Each article will be sent to the hospital with the donor's name attached. The donation will not be sent to the hospital before next week, since offerings continue to come in. Thanksgiving day was appropriately observed by the pupils of Pasquo. On Wednesday afternoon a large U. S. flag was raised over the building. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung during the notsting of the flag. Thanksgiving morning pupils, parents, visitors and friends began to wend their way over the hill toward the schoolhouse. Parents came with heavily laden baskets of good things to eat. Shortly after their arrival a program of 38 numbers was rendered. The recitation, "Gathering in the Harvest," by Ernestine Cross, of Hadley School, and the declamation, "Nobody's Child," by Mary S. Ewing, of Pearl High School, held the auditors spellbound, and both were roundly applauded. At the close of the program the children were given a short intermission, while the parents were at the table placing all of the delicacies of the season thereon. Thursday being an ideal day, the table was set out in the boys' yard. When everything was in readiness the children reassembled in the schoolroom and PASQUO NOTES. marched in groups of twos out to the table, after singing "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Fow," etc., all began to partake of such things as appeased the appetite. After the second table had been served, one by one lett for nome, knowing that the day was profitably spent. Littlet Miss Mary S. Ewing, of Ceder street, and Ernestine Cross, of Ninth avenue, North, were the guests of Miss Rosie Lee Reed and the pupils of Pasquo School Thanksgiving Day. Rev. J. D. Frierson, formerly pastor of this place but now pastor of the Gladeville Circuit, is preparing to mbove his family out near the Murfreesboro road within the next two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Demoss are proud parents of a fine bouncing boy. Mother and baby are doing nicely. Mr. Morris, of Kayne avenue, Mr. Dabner and two sons, Willie and Eugene, of Vaughn's Gap, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Redd and daughter, Rosie Lee, Thanksgiving day. Quite a jolly crowd of huntsmen left the home of Mr. Joseph Redd early Thanksgiving for a day in the woods, returning late in the afternoon with much game. They were soon refreshed by the good, wholesome dinner of beef roast, a large fat goose, biscuits, coffee, butter, celery, cranberries, buttermilk, cakes, custards and pumpkin pies. Sixteen persons were seated around the beautifully decorated table and seemed to have, enjoyed the viands placed before them. Mrs. Clayborne Britton and son, T. L., assisted the hostess in serving the guests. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Last Sunday at the headquarters, Prof. C. C. Poindexter, of the Agricultural Department of Fisk University, delivered one of the finest addresses that has been heard in many a day. The basis of the address was "Agriculture." From beginning to end he poured forth volumes of information which will long live in the minds of those who heard and will do them good. Quite a large number of men were present, yet there is always room for more. Those who fail to attend these meetings from time to time are missing a great deal. Next Sunday at three o'clock Rev. Preston Taylor will speak to the association. Meeting one hour long. Let every man be present at this meeting. It will do you good. The Bible study class meets every Wednesday night at seven o'clock. This class is quite elevating along Bible lines. We are very anxious to build up this class to a larger attendance. We can do so only by the co-operation of the citizens with their presence. We appeal to you earnestly to come and spend the hour with us. Rev. W. S. Ellington instructs this class as only he can, and every one knows of his ability.

It has been announced by the officials of the Nashville Railway & Light Company that the pay-as-you-enter cars have proven so successful that they will be installed on every line operated by the company. All of the cars will be built in the company's shops in this city. For this reason it will be many months before all of the old cars are put out of commission. One thing that can be said of the pay-as-you-enter cars is that they practically eliminate car accidents. It is estimated that three-fourths of the accidents are caused by the passengers jumping on and off of the cars. This danger is absolutely eliminated by the use of the improved car. MUST USE BETTER ENVELOPES According to the latest advices Registered mail change will be effective beginning Dec. 1, special reinclosing envelopes will be discarded, says a Washington Dispatch. Half a million dollars annually will be saved to the postoffice department, it is believed, as a result of an order issued today by Postmaster-General Hitchcook, discontinuing the practice of reinclosing registered mail in special envelopes before sending it from the office o origin. The order will be effective Dec. 1. It changes the policy of fifty years' standing in the handling of registered mail in this country. TAYLOR TAKES EIGHT LITTLE BOYS. Eight little boys ranging in years from 9 to 13 years, who had been accumulating in the cells at the police station for about a week, were taken off the hands of the prison authorities Saturday afternoon by G. B. Taylor, of the local Colored Industrial School. The youngsters were charged with everything from vagrancy to petit larceny, and were a continual annoyance to Turnkey John Connors, for whom they evidenced a special affection. Prison life to them was a new and novel experience, and they whiled away their time by shooting pennies for a line in the long corridor. Rev. Taylor will give them some work to absorb their surplus energy from this time on.

FARMERS SHOULD READ, Editor Southern Agriculturist: The copy of Practical Farming and Gardening to hand some time ago, and a portion of it read with interest. The book is good, but the Agriculturist is what I want. I have been a reader of it for four or five years and enjoy it very much. I have been a farmer all my life, and have also been a close reader of agricultural papers, and I don't see how a man can farm without one, and I actually don't believe he does enjoys it like a man that reads. It is true that we can't farm after the teachings of a dozen or two different men, but by putting what little experience we have with the best ideas of others, it seems to me we have a great many advantages over those who do not read. What little success I have made I owe mostly to the good agricultural papers. As far as reading matter is concerned, I care but little about other papers, as agricultural papers teach the best methods of preparing, cultivating; in fact, everything pertaining to our business. It is just as necessary for us to read after our business as it is for other perfessions to read after theirs. FIGHT THE INSECTS THIS FALL AND WINTER Fall and winter plowing and cleaning and burning or plowing under trash is one of the best ways to combat insects. Plowing of corn land and cotton land greatly reduces the corn ear-worm and the cotton boll worm. Plowing cotton land and adjacent lands reduces the boll weevil. Some years the pupa (winter form) of the tobacco worm can be practically exterminated by fall of winter plowing. That is, they can be nearly exterminated in the tobacco fields that are plowed. The grasshopper and chinch bug can be greatly reduced by fall plowing and cleaning up. In general all corn stalks or stubble lands, all cotton and tobacco land should be plowed in the fall and winter. Trash should be plowed under or burned. The objection to the latter practice is that humus is destroyed. Waste land in fence rows or anywhere else makes breeding grounds for insects that are harmful to farm crops. Slovenly farming is productive of insects pests and plant diseases PLANT HARDY BULBS. Now is a desirable season of the year to plant spring flowering bulbs. Among this class are the snowdrops, scilla or squill, crocus, tulip, hyacinths, and the various kinds of narcissus, such as daffodils and jonquils. They should be set at least six inches deep. After the ground freezes an inch or two in depth it is well to mulch the bulb with fine manure, old leaves, or similar material. This should be gradually raked off in the spring as settled weather approaches. The smaller bulbs such as crocus should be planted about two inches deep, tulips from four to six inches. and the same for hyacinths, depending upon the size of the bulbs. Tulips in this climate do best when planted in a partially shaded situation, otherwise the warmth of late winter may bring them into growth too early in the season. The other bulbs mentioned also thrive best when shaded during a part of the day. The east side of buildings is better than the south and west. Roots of peony and bleeding heart should also be planted in the fall. Peonies set at this time of the year, if the clumps are large, will bloom well the following spring. The iris should be handled in the same manner. Lilies, such as the tiger and the Easter lily, are also best planted in the fall. They can be left in the ground with out much danger even until the soil begins to freeze a little on the surface. As soon as they are dug the soil should be shaken off and the bulbs allowed to dry for half a day. Store them in a cellar where they will not freeze and where the air is not too dry. HOW TO GATHER SEED CORN. HOW TO GATHER SEED CORN. At corn-ripening time drop all other business and select an abundance of seed corn. The process is too important to be conducted incidentally while husking, says Farmers' Bulletin No. 415. When selecting seed corn give the process your entire attention. Get the very best that is to be had and preserve it well, and your increased yield will return you more profit than any work you do on your farm. The only proper way to select seed corn is from the stalks standing where they grow, as soon as ripe and before the first hard freeze. WHEN IS A HEN? When is a hen not a hen?

The simple problem is this: If birds' eggs are free under the tariff, and hens' eggs are taxed 5 cents a dozen, why isn't a hen a bird? An importer who paid the rate of duty on hens' eggs wants to know. PRESIDING ELDER HAIGLER Thanksgiving at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church will long be remembered The stewardesses decorated the church beautifully with autumn leaves and potted plants. Mt. Zeno school chorus, under the leadership of Prof. Davis, sang several beautiful songs. A paper in behalf of the presiding elder was read by Mrs. Anna Walker; a paper in behalf of pastor was read by Mrs. A. J. Neal. The presiding elder made an impressive speech which every one enjoyed. The stewardesses spread supper for Revs. Haliguer, Wells and Reed. At the close of the entertainment the pastor, Rev. E. R. Reed was presented a dozen or more jars of fruit and pickles.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1910. Giving to the Needy. In a few weeks we will again find ourselves celebrating another Christmas. The thought of the day suggests to us all that we should give something to somebody. First, we think of those nearest and dearest to us, and we are often puzzled what to give. We are desirous of giving something that will be appreciated, and often so many gifts have been bestowed till we have to search for something new for that particular person. Those we love best we of course have a right to remember, but after all the giving that meets the approbation of him who gives life and light is the gift we make to the needy. The poor, unfortunate man, woman, or the little neglected children who will be thankful for anything you offer them, are the worthy recipients of gifts. It would indeed be a blessed thing if all the secret and benevolent societies in this city would set aside a fund from their general treasury to be spent for the poor on Christmas. Every lodge room could be converted into an almshouse, and thousands of souls could be made happy. It would be more commendable to spend twenty-five or fifty dollars for gifts for the poor than to spend half that amount to give a banquet for the members of the order. It would be in keeping with the teaching of him whose birth we commemorate and who taught this lesson on giving: "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, In asmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The Negro Merchant of Today. In times past, especially in the South, Negro men engaged in business not because they were Negroes but because they saw an opportunity to make money. Many of them succeeded, and some of the men of the old school are still in business, and are keeping up with the procession. But the most of those men who undertook to run enterprises such as they could master, (for many of them were unlettered,) have passed from the stage of action, and what they started has been left to their sons or has come to naught. But as years rolled on there came a great change over the Negro. Along with many other strange notion, he got the idea that business is racial, and he set about to bend his energies toward doing things for the benefit of the race; every fellow set out to lift up the "down trodden" and as a result we find the young Negro of today forever whining that his own people will not patronize him, and he cannot succeed. A greater mistake was never made. The Biggest Offered I 165,000 ft. face count 3-8 inches Oak Flooring or But granting that a Negro does open a business and fails to get the patronage of the people of his own race, the question, he should first ask himself is, "Am I conducting my business in a way to invite trade?" We venture the assertion that the most of the failures that overtake Negroes in business are due to negligence on the part of the man himself. We have never known a Negro to fail in business who was painstaking and energetic, but we have known scores of them to fail because of slothfulness. Any man who embarks on the ship of commerce may expect to run into a storm before many knots have been sailed. Competition is certain to develop, and the man who is on the alert at all times will succeed, and he who expects to hold his suctomers through sympathy will fail. Comparisons are odious, but we will admit them for argument. A Negro opens a business and heralds to the world that he is going to conduct his place on a high plane; it will be first-class in every particular. The people flock to the new enterprise and for a short season the proprietor keeps his word, and then he begins to substitute cheaper goods, and employs inferior help. His customers complain, and he promises them that all defects will be remedied, but the promise is not kept. While this controversy between Negro merchant and his customers is going on, a Jew or Greek, or a man of some other nationality than Negro is doing his best to please his customers, and his customers include everybody who will pay a bill. Goods are kept up to the standard, the store is neat and clean, fly specks are washed off the windows, every employee is ordered to keep their clothes clean and well arranged, and he invites the public to come in and see how politely he can have them served. Ask yourself the question, who will get the business? There is a remedy for this short-coming on the part of our young men who are trying to do business. They ought to succeed. Some of them are succeeding, but too many of them are merely eking out an existence. We believe that a well organized association, on the order of a board of trade or a merchants association, where the men could come together once a month would be of great benefit. The members could help each other in the way of suggestions, and by frankly pointing out to each other their defects, but always in a spirit of mutual interest. No place in the country is suffering more for progressive young business men than Nashville, and since it seems impossible to get either of our business leagues in operation we ought to have another organization officered with men who have the interest of all the business men at heart. The governor of a southern state approves the nationalism advocated by an eastern Yankee and the governor of a western state opposes it. This country is undergoing a radical change. Knox county has more people in it than Hamilton. When the expansion fever breaks out in that part of the state Chattanooga will likely be outdistanced by her sister city... The National Press Association must be playing groundhog. August will soon roll around and then the shadows will appear. A Negro bandit holds up a train single-handed. We are undoubtedly a race of imitators.

OUR FOREIGN REPRESENTATION OUR FOREIGN REPRESENTATION Most of the ills and serious reverses of Liberia have been the result of a lack of adequate and smypathetic foreign representation. This has been one of our serious handicaps. Our diplomatic and consular services are based on a wrong principle. It has been our custom, almost wholly, to appoint to these posts foreigners who have been here and thereby who ought to know something of our country, our people and our ambitions. Often men have been appointed who have never touched these shores and who have little or no sympathy with our struggles and our aspirations. These men have, no doubt, defended our cause as best they could under the circumstances. But however loyal they have been to their appointment and their office, the opinions of their countrymen and the men at the head of their government naturally have made them waver and weaken, to some extent, in pressing our cause. Many of our representatives have sought their office selfishly, largely for the benefit of the prestige which a diplomatic office brings. We do not mean to say that these officers have been mere sinecurists, but we would make it clear that Liberia cannot hope to obtain the best representation at foreign capitals by appointing foreigners to look after our interests. We commission a Frenchman as minister to France, an Englishman to England, and a German to Germany, and call them "our ministers." This policy ought to and must be changed if Liberia would appear to the world in the best light possible. There may be distinct advantages in giving a diplomatic office to a foreigner sometimes, when that man has manifested his interest in the welfare of our country, but to have foreigners to represent us entirely is both a reflection upon and a danger to our country. We must have our own men to hold up our side of the question if we expect to be treated squarely. Financial considerations will not prevent such a step on our part as these foreign officials are now paid snug salaries. In all important questions relating to the boundary or other claims, foreigners have proved unable to handle the situation and therefore special commissions have had to be dispatched before satisfactory settlement could be made. We ought to have Liberians at the Court of St. James and at the Capital of the Republic of France, for England and France have territory contiguous to our own and we are continually having boundary disputes with these two Governments. We need the best representation possible now, for we are passing through a most delicate and critical period, where smypathetic handling of our cause is absolutely necessary and where diplomatic blunders will be irretrievable.—The Liberian Register.

The fiction in the December number is unusually strong. Mrs. Humphry Ward's great novel, "The Case of Richard Meynell," heads the list. In this novel Robert Elsmere's wife, Catherine, appears after twenty years, and his daughter, Mary, is one of the chief characters in the story. Chief among the short stories is "Miss Cal," by Elizabeth Robins, the story of an American prima donna, who is about to make her debut in Germany.

In selecting this all Southern team there are men whose qualifications are so pronounced that they are at once given a place on this team, while others must be given serious consideration and their season's work given into recognition. I have also given the team men who are good in their positions and who are best fitted for the team. I have furnished it with every advantage and no department has been slighted. For center, Bass of Meharry stands away in front of the field. His passing was sure and fast. Not making a bad pass all during the season. Aside from this he was a power on the defence, was fast and strong as he could be. Guards: Brown, of Meharry and Hiensman, of Tuskegee, both good strong, hard, fast men, and towers of strength to their teams. Charge hard and low, and fast on feet. Tackles: Vic Turner, of A. B. C., and Suggs of Fisk, fast men strong in all departments of the game and hard as rocks. Vic Turner is one of the best tackles that ever played football. Both these men get down well under punts and are almost as fast as ends. Canady, of Meharry, is a good end, but is a trifle slow for a place on this team, although at time his work will brill ant. Ends: Kencau, Fisk, Macison, Meharry. These men are ideal ends, strong in going down on punts, fine runners, both can carry the ball THE NATIONAL MERCANTILE AND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1910 around ends or through the line and yet not take away their speed. Both are good at receiving the forward pass and in fact they are both great ends. Payne, of Fisk, is a good end but he has not the power on defence that these men have. Shelby, of Meharry and Walker, of A. B. C. are also good ends but not up to the standard of Kendall and Madison. Quarterback: This position goes to Zuber on account of his ability to drive his team and his great ability to look through his opponent's weak spots and sent his plays there. He is also a fast man, a good place kicker and punter. Henley, of Tuskegee, is a nice quarter, but did not run his team well; he failed to watch the weak spots. Wesley of Fisk, Cauis, of A. B. C., Johnson, A. B. C., were all good men but not up to Zuber's standing. Halfbacks: West, of Meharry, King of Fisk. Both fast backs; pick openings, well run, hard and fast sure ground gainers. King is the best on throwing the ball seen in the South. He is also a demon on defence. West is a sure man and hard to down. He fights all the time and never stops going. Fullback: Scott, of Meharry, is the man-line-plunger, end runner and all round good man, hard to stop at any time and a fierce tackler. This team has everything needed for a great team. A fine defence, a faultless offence, good placement and dropkickers, long punters and in fact, the ideal football team. mechanical and chart draftsman, $1,000 to $1,200 per year; metallurgical chemist and assayer, $1,800 per year; head nurse (operating), female, Freedman's hospital, $480 per year.

Poindexter, Professor of Agriculture at Fisk University, addressed the Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoon, his subject being, "What Is in the Soil." Prof. Poindexter spoke in part as follows: "We have long known that soil when sterilized would produce increased crops. The explanation for this has only recently come to light. Experiments conducted at Rothamsted Station, Harpenden, England, show that in the soil there is a constant battle wageing between bacteria, which created plant food and lower forms of animal life. It appears that the animal life keeps the friendly bacteria in check and so limits the producing power of the soil. "Sterilization with heat or with volative antiseptics was found to kill the animal life and to leave some of the friendly bacteria. As soon as this happened bacteria increased enormously. "When man has brought to a practical issue the taming and domestication of the fauna and flora of the soil, then will be the problem of science applied to agriculture ne will nearer solution and the bugaboo of the population outdistancing food supply still more a hoax." Mr. and Mrs. Walker, of Tenth avenue, South, entertained the following guests complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. L. Liste, of Dickson: Rev. Wilson and son, Malan. Mr. Frank Swanson, Miss Blanche Brown, Mr. J. M. Webster, Miss M. Wilkins, Miss Lucile McNair, of Memphis, and Mr. Chas. St. Clair, of Louisville.
