THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. BIG BANQUETS BEING PLANNED FOR HON. J. G. NAPIER. Register--Elect to be Honored by Citizens. MEETINGS BEING HELD TO ARRANGE FOR THE AFFAIR—REV. PRESTON TAYLOR CHAIRMAN OF ONE, DR. W. A. LEWIS CHAIRMAN OF ANOTHER—GATHERING AT OFFICE OF HON. A. N. JOHNSON—COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO CALL MASS-MEETING OF CITIZENS — SUGGESTED THAT TWO FACTIONS CONFER ON ONE MAMMOTH ENTERTAINMENT. Arrangements are being made by the citizens of this city to tender an elaborate banquet to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier on the eve of their departure to the nation's capital. where Mr. Napier goes to accept the position of Register of the United States Treasury. The following is a copy of the letter sent out by one committee: Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 7, 1910—Dear Friend:—A few of us have decided it would be a splendid move on the part of the citizens of Nashville as well as a just recognition of a worthy citizen, to tender a banquet to Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Napier, of this city. The banquet as proposed is to be given on the eve of Mr. Napier's departure to accept the position of Register of the of the United States Treasury, to which he has been recently appointed. We give the following plans suggested at a meeting held a few nights ago: the banquet is to be held at the Odd Fellows Auditorium, 447 Fourth avenue, North. It is to be the most elaborate affair ever attempted by the Negroes of this city. It will not be local but national in its scope. The most prominent men in the United State will be invited and quite a number will attend. Every newspaper of note has been invited and asked to make mention of the banquet. Kindly let us know something definite this week, for we wish to estimate the number who will attend. Mr. Napier will probably be confirmed at this session of Congress. Many of the business, professional and well known citizens of Nashville have already consented to take part. The selection of Preston Taylor as chairman, H. A. Boyd as secretary, and C. N. Langston as treasurer of the General Committee, was also made last week. Will you join us in showing the world how Nashville honors one of its citizens. You can save us much time by returning your check, making it payable to the treasurer of the committee. This will be the greatest social occasion, as well as one of the greatest events in the history of the citizens of Nashville. Another Meeting. A meeting of citizens was held at the office of Mr. A. N. Johnson, on Cedar street, Wednesday night, the purpose of which was to arrange a banquet in honor of Mr. J. C. Napier, Register-elect of the United States Treasury. Mr. Johnson stated that the President of the United States had honored one of our citizens, and the people felt that they would be glad to honor the gentleman who has been so signally honored by the national government. Dr W. A. Lewis was elected president; Dr. J. B. Singleton, secretary. D. A. Hart, assistant secretary. Several of the gentlemen present expressed themselves as highly pleased with the object of the meeting, and favored giving to the distinguished gentleman the greatest reception ever received at the hands of the Negroes of this city. Dr. R. H. Voorhees stated that he had learned that some other gentlemen were planning a similar affair and advised that a committee be appointed to confer with the other gentlemen who had sent out a circular to arrange for a banquet. The motion was discussed pro and con and finally carried. A spirit of good will prevailed throughout the meeting. A committee oi nine was appointed NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1910. as follows. A. N. Johnson, chairman; Dr. R. F. Boyd, Prof. F. G. Smith, Dr. R. H. Voorhees, Mr. Moses McKissack, Hon. J. P. Rhines, Hon. J. T. Turner, Mr. D. E. Liner, Mr. W. M. Hargrave, with the president and secretary as ex-officio members. A motion prevailed that the committee have the power to call a mass meeting of citizens at an early date to make final arrangements for the banquet. The committee was urged to at once see the prime movers of the other call and do everything possible to bring the two factions together in one big gathering. It was not learned which faction first started to arrange for a banquet, but it seems that both started about the same time, and all are bent on the one thing, and that is to honor the distinguished Register, the Hon. J. C. Napier. BACELOR MAIDS Programme Committee—N. Scott, chairman; B. Walker, L. E. Phillips. Hattie Hodgkins ..... Reporter Reception Committee—C. Hodgkins, chairman; M. Scott, DeWitt Shorter. The President, Vice President and Critic constitute the Constitution Committee. After the election, remarks were made by Misses Scott and Noel. Then the members were invited into the dining-room, where a delicious two-course menu was served. Thereupon the members adjourned to meet at the home of Miss Hodgkins. SAM LANGFORD WON OVER MORRIS, HARRIS. Boston, December 7.—Sam Langford won a decision over Morris Harris, of New York, in two rounds last night. Langford, with his rights and lefts, had the New Yorker groggy in the first and second and would have put him out had not the referee stopped the bout while Harris was on the floor. BACK FROM THE FIELD. Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Lewis are home again after two or three months' traveling in different sections of the country v'jiting conferences in the interest of the Preachers' Aid Department, of which he is secretary. They are very much encouraged over the work accomplished and declare the department in better condition than ever before in its history. Freeman-Hendley. On last Friday Mr. S. H. Freeman, of North Carolina, and Miss Willa, Hendley, of this city, were united in marriage at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., where the bride was teaching. The groom, like the bride, was a graduate of Tuskegee. Miss Hendley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Hendley, of Thirtieth avenue, North, and a member of the well-known Sunday-School Class No. 16, of Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday-School. She is also related to Prof. J. Thomas Caruthers, of Bordentown, N. J. Mr. Freeman is a successful brick contractor. The bride and groom left Tuskegee at once to make their home in the Old North State. Mr. Freeman visited Nashville this year making many friends. MRS. MATILDA B. MORRILL DEAD. Mrs. Matilda B. Morrill, sister of the late Dr. John Braden, died in Canon City Colo., Friday, November 25, of pneumonia. She had gone there to spend the winter. Many of the friends will remember her visit to Nashville at the time of the unveiling Greenwood Cemetery. THE MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT TAFT SUBMITTED TO GONGRESS Briefs Taken From the Voluminious Document HE .FAVORS REGULATIONS OF CORPORATIONS—SHIP SUBSIDY —TARIFF REFORM BY SCHEDULE—CONSISTENCY IN PUBLIC BUILDING CONSTRUCTION —LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS— —PANAMA CANAL REGULATION—PARCELS POST PENSION FOR GOVERNMENT CLERKS—PASSAGE OF FREEDMEN'S BANK BILL—HOLDING OF THE NEGRO EXPOSITION IN 1913. The President's message in brief is as follows: He declares it is time to stop legislating, with reference to regulation to corporations, and to witness the effect of a vigorous execution of the laws already on the statute book. The exact limitation upon business methods imposed by law will doubtless be made clearer by pending decisions of the supreme court. He recommends strongly some form of ship subsidy to increase American shipping, especially to South America. The tariff board is not ready to submit a report on any of the schedule of the Payne law, and Mr. Taft says he will not recommend any tariff legislation until the new congress convenes in December, 1911. He urges that the tariff board be made permanent and that all future revisions be made schedule by schedule. He vigorously opposes another general revision. The Panama Canal should by all means be fortified. An appropriation of $15,000,000 is recommended for this purpose. There must be no more "pork-barrel" methods in river and harbor and public building bills. The latter should be based upon the report of a commission of experts. In the past, congress has appropriated too much for buildings not needed and not enough for buildings badly needed. Recommendations for anti-injunction and Federal incorporation laws are renewed. It is proposed that second-class mail rates shall be readjusted so as to charge magazines a much higher rate on their advertising sections. Strong representations are made for the establishment of a new banking and currency system. Two new battleships and several auxiliary vessels are urged for the navy. The President recommends that coal, phosphate and oil lands and water power sites be disposed of in the future by leasing. Estimates for government expenditures during the next fiscal year appropriations for the current year. The estimated receipts for the next fiscal year are $680,000,000. The President urges the extension of the civil service principle to all classes of postmasters and to the diplomatis and consular corps, and the acquisition by the government of residences and offices for its diplomatic officers. Some criticisms of the Payne tariff act are just, says the President, but more are unfounded. "There should be more officers for the army; the engineer corps should be increased by sixty. Regarding the Panama Calan, the President says: "The progress of the work is most satisfactory. It will be completed well within the time set, January 1, 1915, and within the estimated cost of $375,000,000. The slides in Culebra cut offer no great reason for delay." Interstate railroads should be prevented from owning or controlling shiirs trading through the canal. The President declares the crying need of the United States in cheapening the cost of litigation by simplifying judicial procedure and expediting final judgement. The supreme court should be relieved from unnecessary appeals. The salaries of Federal judges should be increased. Postal savings banks will be estab- lished in a number of cities January 1. A parcels post on rural delivery routes is recommended. The President recommends that congress give some fitting recognition of the polar discoveries of Commander Robert E. Peary. The stupendous value of the agricultural products, amounting to $8,926,000,000 this year, indicates a good prospect for business throughout the country. The present census promises to be the best ever taken, but is not perfect. The census padders are to be vigorously prosecuted. A bureau of health should be established. Heavier fines should be imposed against steamship companies for violating the immigration laws. The facilities at Ellis Island, N. Y., should not be so increased as to offer an inducement to the steamship companies to concentrate their immigration business at one port. Immigrants are needed in the rural districts. Some provision should be made for retiring superannuated government clerks. The only amendments suggested in the interstate commerce law are an appropriation to enable the interstate commerce commission to ascertain the valuation of railroads and fixing the responsibilities of public carriers in the issuance of bills of lading. FREEDMEN'S BANK. I renew my recommendation that the claims of the depositors in the Freedmen's Bank be recognized and paid by the passage of the pending bill on that subject. I also renew my recommendation that steps be taken to the holding of a Negro exposition in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the issuing by Mr. Lincoln of the emancipation proclamation. BAPTIST SINGERS. ATTENTION. The choirs and other singers of the various Baptist churches of Nashville and vicinity are urgently requested to meet at Mt. Olive Baptist Church Monday night, December 12, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of forming a chorus to sing during the National Sunday-School Institute to be held at Mt. Olive Church from Tuesday, December 13, to Sunday, December 18. SANTA CLAUS OVERSLEPT ONCE But he didn't do so this year. The Banner and the American are both urging the folks to buy early. Phillips & Buttorff's great store had its holiday opening early and the rush is on. As the expression goes, it can be truly said of Christmas shoppers, "they're off." Our readers can wait until Xmas Eve week to shop but they will surely get left if they do. Buy now at Phillips and Buttorcs' and save money, save time, save patience. Y. M. L. C.

SPRUCE STREET LADIES AUXILI- ARY. The Ladies' Auxiliary of Spruce Street Baptist Church met at Mrs. Hattie King's home Friday afternoon. December 2, at 3 o'clock. After business transaction a tempting menu was served. The club desires every member of the church to meet with them from time to time. MRS. ADELLA MITCHELL; Pres. MRS. MAUD JOHNSON, Sec'y. No. 49 GOOD SCHOOLS URGED BY DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Sees Need of Better Public Schools for Negroes. OPEN LETTER SETS FORTH THE ATTITUDE OF THE GREAT LEADER—WHOLESOME ADVICE TO THE MASSES—AN APPEAL FOR THE COUNTRY BOY AND GIRL—URGES THE PEOPLE TO TAKE DEEPER INTEREST IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS — HELP SHOULD BE GIVEN THE AUTHORITIES WHERE POSSIBLE COMMUNITY EFFORT KEY-NOTE OF THE APPEAL. Through the medium of your valued newspaper I desire to say a word to the colored people regarding the importance of good public schools. It has been some months since I have had anything to say on this important subject. I wish to repeat that which I have tried to emphasize from time to time, that there are few, if any subjects, which are of more vital and far-reaching importance to the masses of our race in the South at the present time than that of building up a good public school system. Only a very small per cent. of our people can ever go to a large boarding school, or any kind of college, or industrial school for their education. The masses must depend upon the public school in their neighborhood for whatever education they get. If the public school is a failure the masses grow up in ignorance, and so I am making this direct appeal to every minister, teacher and business man and woman throughout the South to take a personal and deep interest in the condition of the Negro public schools. First of all, we should bear in mind that we are American citizens and that we should have our rightful share of the public school fund. Where we are not getting our just share of the public school fund, a direct appeal should be made to the public school authorities for a more just distribution of the public school funds. The kind of appeal should be repeated again and again until we do receive our just share. We should not give up or still, in cases where the public school authorities are not willing or unable to give more money. It will be no excuse to the future generation of children, if they grow up in ignorance, to tell them that they might have been educated, if the public school authorities had done their duty. In traveling through the South, I have observed that wherever a good public schoolhouse is provided, in most cases, the result is, that that community will have a good teacher and a school term of respectable length. I advise then, that every community set to work to secure either through the public fund or from private gifts in that community a good public school building. In many cases, where people are not able to give money toward the erection of a good schoolhouse, they can give the use of their teams to haul lumber, or they can give material, or give without charge so many days' work each week, but in some way, every community that is now without a comfortable schoolhouse should set to work to secure one. In many cases, the schoolhouses in which the children are taught are not fit for pigs to live in. The roofs leak, the floors are full of holes, there is no stove, and in many cases, the benches and other furniture are so rude and worthless that it is impossible for teacher and children to stay in such houses without being in continual misery. A schoolhouse is not completed until it has been either painted or whitewashed on the inside or outside; neither is a schoolhouse complete until it has been ceilled or plastered on the inside, and every schoolhouse should be thoroughly furnished with good seats; a teacher's desk, with good blackboards, etc., before it should be considered completed. It is almost as cheap to build a good schoolhouse as it is to build a poor one. (Continued on Page 5.) CALL FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS Our Christmas Programs this year are better than ever before.

That the Negro of West Tennessee has not been idle during the past few years can be verified if one would visit the towns along the line of the L. & N. Railroad between McKenzie and Memphis. He has labored hard and incessantly to the end that he might become a prosperous land owner. At last he has reached the goal of his chief ambition in life. It does one good to see the lasting evidence of the racial progress and frugality. Farms owned by colored men are the rule and not the exception. One frequently runs across grist-mills, saw mills and steam gins owned and operated by Negroes. One gin directed by a colored ginner had turned out over fifteen hundred bales of cotton. It is very frequent one meets with black cotton buyers who purchase the staple with his own money and hold it for a rise in the market. The wealth of some of the men ranges from ten to thirty thousand dollars At Braden Silas Rutledge, P. R. Drew, Oscar Cross, Joe Collier, C. J. Huglett, Robert Green, J. H. Clark, Steve Douglas, J. H. Summerville and J. S. Huglett are very prosperous cotton raisers of Mason. J. E. Burnett is a manufacturer of shoes. John Hemp runs a general store. J. W. Boyd, lawyer and land owner.

Aged Couple Give Land for New National Sanitarium. Colorado Springs. After laboring for 14 years to acquire their holdings, James K. Polk Taylor, a former slave, 71 years old and his treeborn wite, Elizabeth Jane Taylor, 75 years old, have turned over about 480 acres of rich farming land located near Cahan, and about 40 miles from Colorado Springs, Colo., to the Charles Sumner National Tuberculosis association. The land is valued at about $10 an acre, and will be used as a site for a large sanatorium which while primarily proposed for colored people of the United States, will also care for consumptives of other races, should such service be required. News of the transfer of thehel and for this purpose was made by Dr. S. W. Crostshwaite, national secretary and financial agent for the association who recently returned from the farm, after completing the details in connection with the transfer. This means a radical change from the first plans of the association, as it was the original purpose to locate the sanatorium in or near Denver. The association's bylaws, however, provide for the erection of the sanatorium in Denver or at some place easily accessible therefrom, and for this reason, when the offer of the land some 40 miles from this city was made it was decided to locate the health resort there. The Rev. William R. Stephens, pastor of the People's Methodist Episcopal church of Colorado Springs, will be one of the trustees of the property. The association which was incorporated last July, expects to expend approximately $300,000 on the sanatorium. Forty acres of the land will be devoted to the sanatorium proper, as a building site, and the remaining 440 acres will be used for agricultural purposes partially to sustain the institution, it being the purpose of the organization to make the institution wholly self-supporting in time, if possible. Varied Careers. The old couple who have donated their life's savings to this purpose, have met with many vicissitudes. Both were born in Tennessee. Mr. Taylor served his old master, Bob Taylor (not the present senator form that state), on the Taylor estate near Brownsville, until he was 24 years old, when he was freed by the government. Mrs. Taylor's paternal grandfather, Moses Brown, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. She was taken to Ohio when 17 years old, because the colored children of that day were deprived of school advantages in the south. During the Civil war, Taylor left his R. H. BOYD. D. D., Secretary, old master and at the head of five companions, joined the federal army. About 14 years ago he settled near Cahan, where he has since made his home, gradually adding to his original holdings. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor will continue to live on the farm which has been their home for so many years. One or the first pieces of work to be done on the sanatorium site will be the erection of comfortable cottages, at the expense of the association, which will be turned over for the exclusive use of the aged couple, as long as they live. Some well-known men are on the advisory committee of the association. Among them are W. E. B. DuBois, A. M., Ph. D., Atlanta University, Aalanto, Ga.; G. W. Hubbard, M. D., dean of Meharry Medical College; Bishop E. Lyree, M. D., D. D., Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C., and the Rev. A. E. Reynolds, Denver. THE IRON MASTER AT MEHARRY. It is fitting to note the splendid success brought about by the rendition of the drama, The Iron Master, at Meharry Auditorium during the past week. From beginning to end there was an exhibition of pure intelligence and careful adaptation to their respective parts. It is putting it mildly when one says that the production was the best of its kind rendered in Nashville during recent years. The drama was presented in four acts and it only could have been reproduced by talents of the best type in our mids'. As all will admit, a drama of French character requires, not the skill of the beginner, but matured minds to render it effectively. Mrs. C. N. Langston, to whom much credit is reflected, has worked earnestly in bringing about this play; and not only has she acted in its management, but superbly so in rendering her part to the satisfaction of all. To speak of the characters individually is a matter that would entail a great amount of time and space, and for this reason I desire to comment in brief only on those whose leading role compels particular mention. Miss Anita Scott as Athenias Moulinet, as customary with her, was at home on the stage. It was so well done that it was difficult to find a line between the real person and the impersonater. Mrs. Alice Cheatham in the part of Claire* Reaulieu, and the most noted of the characters in the play was a tremendous success. Mrs. Cheatham was in the play with all the motives that bring about fitness. It was this great and brilliant character which touched the emotional side of her hearers and having surrendered her life as the ransom of her husband made her most conspicuous. Dr. Josie Wells, one of the promoters of the play and 'foremost among the characters acted her part without a doubt. Dr. Wells in the part of the Marquise de Beaulieu, well demonstrated that part of a mother which was especially noticeable. Nashville, Tennessee. Misses Mable Scott and Eunel Conyers played their respective parts to the satisfaction of all and with credit to themselves. Mr. Fredinand Bradford in the part of the Iron Master and husband of Claire, was as usual among the brilliant performers. Mr. Bradford is noted for his elastic memory and power of delivery, which enables him to put into his part that love, pathos and realism which won for him the applause and admiration of the entire audience. The greater part of the success of the performance was hinged upon his connection with Claire. Hon. J. C. Napier as Monsieur Beachelin played his part well. Mr. Napier could not have been replaced, for in the entire play he was void of exaggeration. Mr. william Saunders was in every respect a noticeable figure and like Mr. Kelly of Fisk University and Mr. Booth and Mr. Jackson won loud applause. On a whole the entire program was rendered in a manner commendable to its participants. The costumes were elegant and of French creation. The Hospital authorities are not hesitant in acknowledging their obligations to the noble characters who so nobly entered into this great performance for the benefit of so worthy an enterprise. The linen shower, marking the initial opening of the new hospital at Meharry under the auspices of the Hubbard Hospital Club was a great success. Bishop C. H. Phillips, D. D., will preach the university sermon at the Auditorium on Sunday. Prof. Oneal, of Walden, will address the Y. M. J. A. Sunday at 3:30 p. m. Drs. Stewart and Roman have returned to resume their work at Meharry. The regular opening of the Hubeard Hospital will take place about the 16th inst. Samuel Bradshaw and Mattie Chatman. George E.

On the opening day of the Indiana State Fair, at Indianapolis, on September 12, was witnessed the most extraordinary performance ever seen on the harness racing circuit. It was a fourhorse pacing race, with the four champions—Minor Heir, Hedgewood Boy, Lady Maud C. and George Gano—all owned by M. W. Savage, of Minneapolis, Minn. The contest was for the race and for a new world's record. Hedgewood Boy drew the pole, but Minor Heir passed around him and took the lead before reaching the quarter, which was passed in 29 3-4 seconds, and was never afterwards headed, passing the half in 59 seconds, the three-quarters in 1:29 1-4, and passed under the wire without a touch of the whip in the unprecedented time of 1:59, not only lowering his world's race record of 2:00 a full second, but establishing a new world's record for pacers "in the open," the previous one having been 1:59 1-4, made against time, and held jointly by Star Pointer, Audubon Boy and himself. The other three starters finished so closely behind Minor Heir that all of them paced in two minutes or better! The dispatches state that Lady Maud C., who was second, paced the mile in 1:59 1-2. That George Gano, third, was timed in 1:59 3-4. And that Hedgewood Boy, who was fourth, despit the fact that one of his sulky tires received a puncture in the last quarter, finished in flat two minutes. MRS JANE BEALE One of the oldest members of Pleasant Green Baptist Church died this week and was buried on Wednesday from the church. Rev. Wm. Haynes officiated, assisted by Rev. J. C. Fields. THE LORD'S SUPPER ANY Congregation can have its wants supplied by securing one of our Guardruple-Plated Table Silver ware Communion Sets at a moderate price and on reasonable terms. A set consists of one flagon, two goblets and two bread plates. If the church wants more goblets or plates, they can be furnished at an additional cost. The commemoration of the Lord's Supper is a very sacred ordinance. The custom for centuries has been to have special vessels for this occasion. Thus a communion set becomes an important part of this service. Many churches have used the old style communion set while others use an individual set. Both are appropriate and well-recommended. One is no reflection upon the other. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING PRICES AND TERMS, WRITE TO THE 523 Second Avenue, North, NASHVILLE, TENN. BAPTISTS FIRM ON RULES. At a meeting of the Baptist City Ministers Conference on last Monday, they were very firm in the way in which members should be taken in the church. It seems that some of the Forty odd of their churches here had been slack toward enforcing the doctrinal way. By a vote the conference went on record as heaving to the line which they claim is the regular way of the reception of members into a Baptist church, as follows: "A person desiring to become a member of a Baptist church customarily consults the pastor or some judicious member. He then appears in person before the church and makes application for membership, the church taking such action upon the application as it may see fit. "There are three modes of admitting an individual to membership in a Baptist church: 1. By baptism. 2. By lutter. 3. By experience of grace. "The third mode only becomes necessary when the party desiring admission has at some previous time been baptized into a Baptist church, but for some cause is totally out of touch with the church and cannot theerefore secure a letter of dismissio. "Very frequently churches lose names from their roll books when members are long absent: and when applied to for a letter are ignorant of the parties applying. Occasionally, also, a church disbands, or changes its name, and all trace of it is lost. Again, clerks are sometimes negligent and fail to carry out the instructions of the church as to letters. In all such and similar cases, where parties cannot get letters of dismission, they should be received upon their relating a satisfactory Christian experience. Rebaptism in such a case is not necessary. "When a person has been admitted to membership in a church, it is customary for the pastor in the name of the church, to extend the right hand of fellowship as an expression of the welcome and fellowship of the church. In some localities the hand of fellowship is extended by the members present at the service when the act is performed. The hand of fellowship is usually given at the communion service, just prior to the administering of the ordinance. Dismission of Members. "There are three ways in which a member may have his relations with his church severed: 1. "By Letter. A member of a Baptist church desiring to become connected with another church of the same faith and order is granted a letter of dismission, and when the letter of dismission is accepted by the church to which it is sent, the party thereupon ceases to be a member of the church granting the letter. 2. "By Exclusion. When a church withdraws the hand of fellowship from anyone he is no longer a member of that church. 3. By Death. The death of a mem- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1910. ber severs his connection with his church on earth. Note 1. "Any member has the right at any time to ask for and receive a certificate of his membership and standing. In case improper use is made of it, the member subjects himself to discipline. Note 2. "There is no such thing as the withdrawal of a member from a church by his own actions purely. It must be with the consent of the church if it is to be declared valid. 4. No member may be properly excluded from a church without due process of trial and a reasonable opportunity to be heard in his own defense." The meeting was largely attended. Other important matters affecting the growth of the denomination was taken up. STOCK IMPROVEMENT. We are told that the prosperity of a country depends upon the quality of its live stock. This is a very true statement. It may be disputed by localities where live stock farming is practiced. But in the long run the soil will become run down and the redemption of the land depends upon good live stock. I have noticed in a neighborhood that does not keep good live stock there is an air about everything that suggests twenty-five years behind the times. In such a locality you will find poor methods of farming. The methods practiced may be not only poor, but in some respect very injurious to the crops, but you can't make these fellows see anything different. But whenever they conclude that their live stock is not what it should be and start out towards getting better animals, they get the fever and improve along other lines also. The man that keeps good live stock throughout is a good farmer along other lines. He has something to enthuse him, something which satisfies, something to create a pride which is followed by an ambition to make his work an acknowledged success. Farmers can find it possible to start stock improvement in some way if they are really interested. Progress may be slower with some on account of financial conditions, but the real progress does not depend upon money entirely. It takes no little bit of scheming and if a man will keep his eyes open he can usually save himself a great deal of money. The most common way of starting in on live stock improvement is to breed to a pure bred sir or at least to a good grade. This is a step for ward, but does not go far enough. The get of such mating is an improvement over the old scrub stock for the market purposes, but it is not a good enough class to keep for breeding purposes. If farmers would only get together and talk co-operative breeding they could manage to build up herds of first-class, pure bred stock at minimum expense. Without co-operation one man must own a pair. If the men will only have an understanding they can own the male jointly and the females severally, or they can pay one man a good service fee. By following such a plan it will be only a few years at most until the entire neighborhood will be filled up with good animals, as good as one is accustomed to seeing at a country fair.

It is the custom of the club to send out baskets of food, clothing, shoes, hats, toys and anything that can be gotten for distribution one day in the Christmas. Last year we sent out seventy-five well filled baskets and several tons of coal to cheer and gladden the homes of the poor. We distributed from St. Paul A. M. E. Church last year. This Christmas the distribution will be from Lea Avenue Christian Church, Rev. Preston Taylor, pastor. The public is invited to co-operate with the club and to help shed sunshine into otherwise cheerless and poverty stricken homes. A committee of good women will see that whatever is donated will be properly distributed where most needed. Thursday, December the 29th will be the day for distribution from Lea Avenue Christian Church. The club will thank all who give to this cause and all who will send in names and addresses of those needing help in any part of the city. You are welcome to donate to this work and welcome to hand in names of any one in need of our charity. Donations of all kinds will be appreciated. The Phyllis's Wheatley Club's work is endorsed by Mayor Howse, who gave us several tons of coal last winter. Mrs. G. L. Jackson, President; Mrs. Evans Tyre, Vice President; Mrs. J. H.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1910. President's Message. The president's message submitted to Congress Tucsday is an able document, and if his recommendations are carried out we may hope for better days in this country. True, there is very little in this message that was not in that submitted to the first sessio nof this Congress, for the present session is not expected to do much more than complete the work already begun, but the urgency with which the chief executive lays the needs of the nation before the lawmakers, and the clear cut manner in which his message is put should be a stimulus to the members of both houses to do their best for the good of the whole nation. In the last part of the document a few lines are devoted to an appeal in favor of the Freedmen's Bank depositors and the semi-centennial celebration of the emancipation of the slaves. These recommendations will be pleasing to every Negro who has a spark of race pride, but the case must be submitted to men who are not in a position to sympathize with either recommendation, and as to whether action is taken on them will depend largely upon the interest manifested by the Negroes themselves. The recommendation that Peary be rewarded for his North Pole explorations will not be received with good taste. It is not a popular subject by any means. There are just about as many who doubt him as there are who doubt Cook, and Cook doubts himself. The only advantage Peary has is Matt Henson, an English-speaking Negro, and a citizen of the United States, was with him, and is a witness to the claim. But be that as it may, the attitude of the masses is not changed. They do not feel that the nation is indebted to Mr. Peary. Another recommendation that will not be received with good favor is that suggesting pensions for government clerks. These clerks are paid well for their services, and are no more entitled to pensions than clerks who work for private concerns. Any plan of pensioning them will be a burden on the people, and this nation feels that it has about all of that kind of trouble it needs. The message as a whole is very acceptable, and if the Congress carries out one-half of the commendable recommendations in it the people will be satisfied. Racial Weakness. One of the most glaring weaknesses of the Negro race is the habit of sus- pecting evil of people who are endeavoring to make an honest living, and on the other hand of accepting those who have no visible means of support but are living at ease. We are given to criticise girls who work at service, and particularly office girls. We suspect them of things that are the most unreasonable. Any number of our young women are employed as office girls. A few are employed by men of the race, but more find employment in offices of men of the other race, but whoever the employer may be there is a tendency on the part of many to say that these young women working as office girls are not fit for society. Objection is raised to them being admitted in society circles; girls on the other hand, young women who do no work of any kind, and who have no visible means of support are accepted in society and in our homes and they are lauded as ideal associates. This is a weakness that will have to be overcome before the Negro can hope to demand proper recognition. All work is honorable; all idleness is dishonorable. The girl who works is to be preferred every time to the girl who never works but can always dress in the latest style. A line must be drawn between the honest and the dishonest; the moral and the immoral. All questionable characters will have to be put in a class to themselves, and we must especially cultivate a disposition to respect our women who work. He Did Come Back. It is a common saying that athletes cannot come back. The term has come into general use since the agitation was begun to force Jim Jeffries out of retirement to fight Jack Johnson for the championship of the world. It is no woften applied to men in every walk of life, but we do not believe the term can be more pointedly applied than in the case of our able colleague, the associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. Replying to a correction by the New York Age he says: The New York Age corrects our statement that George Peabody was a Southern man by saying that he "was born in Massachusetts of New England parentage." We know that. But he lived and made the fortune he left for Southern education in the South and Great Britain. The editor of The Age was born very much in the South but he is a Northern man in his living and thinking, and could not live and think as he does in the South. It does not appear where age affected the old man's speed in that round. It does not appear where age affected the old man's speed in that If Peary is made a commodore and retired on salary he will surely give Henson a job as custodian of his Arctic curios. The Crisis for December is on our desk. This number is well gotten up and contains a good collection of clippings. We hope for the magazine long life and large circulation. We need a new high school and also a new Knowles School. We also need that the first be the last. The National Medical Association Journal for October-December is the best yet. This magazine easily leads the literature produced by Negroes. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Right at Home. There ase numerous organizations in parts of the North that have for their aim the amelioration of the condition of the colored people in the Southern States. This is well and proper. But many of these organizations overlook the fact that right at our doors here in the North there are discriminations and injustices which have the first claim upon the attention of these organizations. Many of these organizations make a loud noise about the Jim Crow car and disfranchising of the South which is all right, but they fail to do anything to bring about better conditions right at our door. In New York City it is rare that a colored man can be accommodated in a first-class restaurant, unless it is kept by a colored man. There is almost no first-class theatre in New York City where col- The Biggest Bargain Ever Offered In Nashville Nashville Hardwood Flooring Company Take West Nashville Car or Telephone Hemlock 338 This Stock is Bone Dry and End Matched. 100 Feet will cover a space 10 ft. by 10 ft. Nashville Ha Take West Na ored men and women can go and select their seats in the same way that white people can. In fact, in not a few theatres of New York City, colored people are actually prohibited from entering. There are moving picture shows exhibiting the fight between Johnson and Jeffries where no colored man is permitted to enter. When it comes to discrimination in regard to colored labor, that exists all over Ne wYork City. These are some of the matters which these organizations should give attention to right at home. In a great many cases while we are spending in gour time bemoaning the fate of the "opoor Negro" in the South, these people are making greater progress than is often true of our race in many Northern cities. Let us begin first of all to get rid of discrimination right at our door and then we will be in better shaye to help our brethren in the South. It will be a good thing, for instance, if some of these organizations would bring a law-suit to test the fact whether or not a colored person can be debarred from a theatre after he has bought a seat. They ought to test the fact whether a colored person cannot be entertained at any restaurant or hotel. These are practical considerations that demand attention. —New York Age. If it is true that the Democratic county officers are going to follow the precedent set by Republicans years ago and appoint colored men to positions in the various county offices, we trust that they will select men of good character and sufficient capacity to discharge the duties of the place they are given. We have plenty of such men in this city, some of whom are waiting table or blacking boots, for want of something better to do, men who are graduates of our high schools and colleges. Yes, there is plenty of timber to select from. Plain Dealer. Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., the Teacher-Training Superintendent, left Monday for Meridian, Miss., to hold a Sunday-School Institute.

Hill, Fogg street, December 9th. STUDENTS' CONFERENCE. The student body of Walden University, accompanied by Mrs. McMillan and Dr. Zeller, came out in chartered cars as far as the car line accommodation extend and was there promptly taken up by Mr. White's pleasure wagon and brought here Saturday morning, December 3. Immediately after the arrival Mr. F. E. Jeffries, of Roger Williams University, the President, called together the student bodies of the two schools and in a brief way set forth the object of the conference. Among other things he emphasized the fact that one of the primary objects of the con- ference was not only to retain the already strong tie of friendship between the two schools, but also to build up new ties and substantiate the old. The discussions that followed the reading of the different papers and orations were helpful to all who heard the very interesting talks gotten off by the students of both schools. The last meeting before this was held in December, 1904, before the burning of Roger Williams, at which time Mr. Mack Ross, of Walden, was elected Treasurer and $12 were placed in his hands for safe keeping, and after a lapse of six years he proves himself worthy of the trust by presenting to the body December 3, 1910, the $12 he had carefully kept from the last meeting held in December, 1904. The papers, addresses and orations were gotten off to advantage, which goes to show that the students of the two universities are on the alert to bestir themselves to a self-interest to maintain a friendship and an affection among students that is indefinite in its scope. The conference was dismissed by Mr. Jeffries, the President, and every body went away with new ideas and with new determinations and with the fondest hope that every one present would be able, through the help of God, to meet twelve months hence in a similar meeting at Walden University.

If every community will organize and come together, with the direct object of providing a good schoolhouse, I am safe in saying I believe that before the present school year passes, a large number of communities will have good, first-class schoolhouses. I also advise that an architectural plan be drawn, wherever possible, for these schoolhouses. In many cases, . . . good deal of money is practically thrown away in the erection of a building, because no plans have been drawn. Aside from the building being almost useless, when a plan is not drawn, it does not usually present a good appearance. I shall hope to hear, as a result of this letter that a larger number of communities throughout the South have erected schoolhouses. One other thing. My travels through the South convince me that the public schools for our race are often crippled and weakened by reason of the fact that denominational jealousies and rivalry enter into the public school system. It should be understood in every community that the pubis school must be separated wholly from church influences. In some communities, the public school system is weakened because the Baptist element want a Baptist teacher, the African Methodist element want an African Methodist teacher, and the Zion Methodists want a Zion Methodist teacher. This kind of contention and jealousy is all nonsense and results only in weakening the public schools. In some communities, the people are now trying to support three little weak schools, with three different teachers, representing so many church denominations, when the people in the community should have one, good strong public school, regardless of denomination. In some cases there are three little public schools lasting only three months in the year, when, if the people were united, they might have one good public school lasting seven or eight months in the year. In public school education, there is no Baptist Arithmetic, or Methodist Arithmetic, or anything of the kind. What the people want are good, sensible, moral, upright, Christian teachers, regardless of the church to which they belong. There are other matters in connection with the public schools of the South, to which I shall hope to call attention soon through another letter. BOOKER T.

The dramas held firm from beginning to end. Dr. T. J. Davis as Anthony was fine, reaching the climax of his acting in the "death scene." Mrs. Jessie Hambrick as Cleopatra was exceptionally good, she held the audience in rapt attention throughout the play. Mr. Eugene Taylor and Miss O'neal Frazier did some clever acting. Mr. Taylor also appeared as John Baptist, and his quick transformation from clown to priest showed marked ability. Mr. Andrew Stockard took the role of soothsayer with becoming fitness and with his hoodoo charms and conjure bags kept the audience in an uproar of laughter. Dr. J. A. Rainey played the role of Herod well. Mrs. E. M. Dickerson, who arranged and staged the dramas, appeared only in the Banquet scene as Salome. She brought grace and refinement into the Egyptian gymnastic, as is characteristic only of her. "The coquette Brigade in Pose Palastique" received an encore, the participants being Misses Minnie, Lil'lian and Mamie Starnes, Kitty Davis and Josie Satterfield, Messrs. Thomas Hightower, Victor Peaks, J. Perkins, Ozzie Crockett, and Jarrett Lee. The Pantomime by Misses Alberta Lewis, Lillian Bryant and Alberta Thompson was also well done. Madams Emma Davis, Ella Thompson, Susie Oden and Miss McDonald played their roles well. Miss Brown's playing was like a golden thread that so interwove itself into the drama that without it the evening's entertainment would not have been a success. Normal, Ala., December 10.—President Walter S. Buchanan, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, located here, has just returned from an extended trip in the West, during which time he visited several of the state schools provided for the training of Negroes. The most notable institutions which he visiter were, Prarie View Normal and Industrial Institute, Prairie View, Tex.; Agricultural and Normal University, Langston, Okla., and Branch Normal College, Pine Bluff, Ark. Primarily to study the conditions surrounding the institutions, their progress and the extent of the work they are doing, President Buccanan has gathered such information as will enable him to go before the forthcoming Alabama legislature next year and show the comparative statements what other states are doing for the education of Negro children. It is his aim, thereby, to induce the legislature to give a more suitable appropriation for Normal, or at least to make some special appropriation to cover eminent necessities. Prof. Buchanan declared in several addresses that he made to representative audiences while west that the Negroes in the South and South- west must prepare themselves for the great commercial, professional and industrial opportunities that the section affords for black and white, and that they must be prepared to make the greatest use of the natural resources of the Southland or their places would be taken by other peoples. In his address, he gave some good advice with reference to race relations in the South. MINISTERG AND DEACONS MEET. Hermitage, Tenn., Nov. 25.—A three days' session of Ministers' and Deacons' Meetings was held at the Evans Hill Missionary Baptist Church. Rev. I. J. Jordan introduced Rev. Jno.

Rev. Wm. Moore led in prayer. The welcome address was delivered by Rev. Jno. T. Franklin, the pastor, after which Rev. Slaighter preached the introductory sermon. Rev. Saughter also preached in the afternoon from Acts 1:8, subject, "And ye shall be my witness." At 7:30 p. m. a doctrinal sermon was preached from the 28th chapter of Matthew. Second Day's Session.

Jordan and Jno. Franklin. In the afternoon the sermon was preached from Matt. 25, Subject. "The Precious Pearl." Sunday, after the Sunday-school lesson had been heard the Missionary taught the entire school, after which a collection of 60 cents was taken. The Missionary gave a lecture on the subject "Duty of Our Race." Everybody present enjoyed the lecture to the highest. In the evening we had a mass meeting and all present took an active part in the same. The Spirit of the Lord was with us. We then enjoyed a handshaking, bidding each other farewell till we meet again. "otal collection for the session $11.80. PRAYERS FOR THE LIFE OF A GREAT CHRISTIAN Western University, Kansas City, Kans. Dec. 3, 1910—To the Church and Christians Everywhere:—The united petitions of every believer in prayer are asked for the recovery of Bishop Abraham Grant, whose condition gives us serious concern. He has been confined to his home for a month, and is very weak. The race, the church and the nation need his wise counsel and great humanity-loving heart as never before, and though we cannot unravel the inscrutable providences of God who knows what is best, He has taught us to ask. Therefore, we earnestly request that in every prayer-meeting, church service and family circle a devout prayer be offered, asking God to spare to us QUEEN QUALITY SHOES, VALUES UP TO $5.00, NOW $2.45 Extra December Selling HIRSHBERG BROS.

Among the many men of professions in this city is to be seen, as he makes his way into every nook and corner, Dr. J. H. Hale, who is favorably known to all because of the large and very successful practice which he has built up. It is to be remembered that he entered Meharry Medical College with practically nothing save will-power and ambition, and it was just five years ago since he graduated from that school with only a diploma in addition to these two elements. So it is not out of place to say that he is one of our real self-made men. Dr. Hale, as has been said, began practice with practically no backing, and since the time of his initial practice has enjoyed an increasing and very successful one, which has caused him to own and drive some of the finest and most speeded horses to be seen on the streets of this city. And to-day he is still the owner of five very fine ones. He has taken another step forward, in that he is now driving a big Hudson Touring Car, and when seen this week by a Globe reporter, Dr. Hale said that he was somewhat forced to make the change which is only in keeping with the growth of his practice. This, he said, enables him to give service more promptly and to see more of his patients each day. Not only are the people of the city glad of the success of this young man, but even his friends and patients at Bryantown, 25 miles on Nolensville plike, where he also practices. They are almost as proud of his car as he is himself, because of the quick service which they now expect. One of the most successful operations of Dr. Hale's practice was performed a few weeks ago, when he was called in to see a man (Mr. Andrew Hockett) whose skull had been broken. After moving him to Wilson's Infirmary, the operation was permoved which resulted in the removal of a piece of his skull about 1 1-2 inches long. While never unconscious, yet Mr. Hockett, who was without speech for more than a week, is in as fine speaking condition as the injury will permit and is out in fine shape. Beginning with nothing, as has been said, Dr. Hale is to-day generally conceded to be one of Nashville's busiest physicians, being a clinician at the Meharry Medical College, one of the Directors of the Peoples Bank and Trust Company, also he is a property owner in this city. It is remarkable how a young man could come so far and in so short a time. It only remains to be said that Dr. J. H. Hale, first of all, found out what his calling was, and then prepared himself for it. He took up his work and pushed it and seemingly he asks that every one would get out of his sunshine. THE BAPSTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL INSTITUTE. Great interest is being manifested in the Sunday-School Institute to be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, beginning Tuesday afternoon, December 13th, and continuing to Sunday afternoon. Sessions will be held both afternoon and night each day. The various superintendents are anticipating an instructive and entertaining week. Dr. Clark and Mt. Olive are ready to bid everybody welcome.

"The Sunday-School Superintendent." "The Divine Origin of the Bible." "The Sunday-School Teacher." "Sunday-School Literature—What to Use and Why."

Taylor and others. Sermons will be preached by Drs. T. J. Townsend, Wm. Haynes, W. S. Ellington and Rev. J. C. Fields.

DAVIS AS HOSTERS. Miss Alberta K. Davis was the congenial hostess to the Misses Emma Louise Crittenden and Barnetta Goldsbay, of Memphis, Tenn. These ladies are prominent teachers in the public schools of their home city. Their coming to the game shows the keen interest manifested in different sections of the South in the annual contest between Fisk and Meharry. It must be remembered that these ladies came especially to root for Meharry. 6 Have You Bought One?

They had a rally recently, which was a financial success. They raised $130.00. A prize of $10.00 was offered to the one raising the largest amount. Mrs Emma Marshall was the winner, and she, considering the church's needs, very generously donated the $10.00 to the church. Mrs. Marshall is a great church worker. She is devoted to her church, and considers it a great privilege to be engaged in work for the Master, and whenever Mt. Lebanon calls for workers she is always ready and says, "Here am I, send me, send me." Mrs. Lucinda Pillow died at her home on West Hill avenue December 1st.

While we know that God doeth all things, for the best, and yet it is hard for us to willingly part with those bright, promising young men who are blossoming into manhood as was Mr. Innis W. Miller, who passed into his long beyond about 7 a. m. last Thursday, at his home with parents on Lee street. He was a carriage painter by trade and worked a number of years at the Harrison Carriage Factory, of this city; after which he was employed by the well-known Patterson and Son Carriage Builders, of Greenfield, Ohio, where he had won for himself the well-merited respect of his employers. He was a member of Fifth Ward Baptist Church, and was loved by all who knew him. He was unmarried and about 24 years old, and was buried at Green Hill Cemetery, New Providence, Tenn., on Friday. Gone but not forgotten. Mr. Frank Jones, of Paducah, Ky. was in the city last Sunday. Dr. E, W. D.

ROMN RETURNS FROM TEXAS. Dr. C. V. Roman returned to the city Tuesday from Texas, where he went to deliver an address to the twenty-fourth annual session of the Lone Star State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association which met in Austin. The meeting was a decided success. Forty-two doctors, dentists and pharmacists were present and took part in the deliberations. At the opening session, Dr. N. J. Atkinson, of Greenville, president of the Association, delivered his annual address which was almost eloquent. Many recommendations were made by which the future growth and interest of the association will be enhanced. During the three days session many able papers were read and discussed, covering a wide range of subjects in Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacy and Dentistry. The Dallas Express said: Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn, member of the Faculty of Meharry Medical College, was the special guest of the association. He read a very able and instructive paper on "Diagnosis of Eye and Ear Diseases." This lecture was of special interest to the general practitioners. He admonished the general practitioners to be very conservative in trying to treat diseases of the eye and ear, and when the least in doubt, to advise the consultation of a first-class Specialist. Through the kindness of Drs. Bennett and Scott, Dr. Roman conducted a surgical clinic on the eye and throat at the Austin Sanitarium. The operations performed by him were delicate and difficult. They were skillfully done and the results were in every way successful. Dr. Roman enjoys the destination of being the only Negro Specialist of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat south of the Mason and Dixon line. On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock to an audience that completely filled the Auditorium of The Samuel Houston College, Dr. Roman delivered a lecture on Race Psychology. For an hour he held his hearers spellbound with his eloquence and his logic. The presence of Dr. Roman at the meeting of the association was a great stimulus to the organization, and his able lectures, together with his skillful operations proved the wisdom of the officers in selecting him as the special guest for this year. Dr. Roman, as editor of the National Medical Association Journal, is doing a great work in the interest of the medical profession. He is being sought by state associations throughout the country to attend their meetings, to deliver lectures and hold special clinics in his special lines on the ear, eye, nose and throat. A CARD OF THANKS. We take this means to thank those friends, both white and colored, who so graciously gave us their assistance and sympathy in our bereavement in the loss of our dear husband and father, Bolen Redick. We cannot repay them for the kindness and interest shown us but trust God will eever bless and protect them. Very sincerely, MRS. MARI REDICK, JON W. REDICK. Franklin, Tenn. MR. AND MRS. D. S. BRANDON. MR. AND MRS. D. S. BRANDON. Being interested in Nashville in more ways than one, Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Brandon, of Huntsville, Ala., came over last week to see their daughter, Miss Ollie, who is studying pharmacy at Meharry. While here they took in the Meharry.Fisk game, leaving 'or their home on Friday. Mr. Brandon is regarded as the wealthiest and most successful man of the race in the city of Huntsville. He is a contractor and has a home that is said to have cost over $10,000. It is two-story built of pressed brick, on the Colonial style, having a wide porch circling almost around the house. On each floor are baths, with all other modern conveniences. He has put up some of the most expensive buildings in north Alabama. Their home is the scene of many society events among the people of Huntsville. According to the latest news from Murfreesboro, Tenn., the men who were arrested several days ago at Lavergne have proven an alibi. Following is a news item from a daily paper: "Leonard Ward and David Cook, the two Negroes held in connection with the assault Friday afternoon upon Miss Hula Bodley at her father's store, four miles from Lavergne on the Nashville turnpike, are still in jail here and stoutly protesting their innocence. The Negroes have some proof of an alibi which is strong. The Negroes will be held until Miss Bodley has sufficiently recovered to see if she can identify the two men. Reports from Lavergne this morning are that Miss Bodley's condition is still serious. SYMPTOMS OF SLEEPING SICK NESS. (From the article on Professor Ehrlich and his discoveries, by Marguerite Marks, in McCLURE's for December The course of this disease is an extremely slow one. The first stage is said to last a year or more, and the cause of the disease may be in the blood long before any symptoms whatever present themselves. The patient has occasional fever; indeed, a disease hitherto called Gambia fever has recently been recognized as the first stage of sleeping-sickness. It is said that the swelling of the lymphatic glands of the neck is a characteristic early symptom. This was known in 1803 to Dr. Winterbottom, who state that slave-traders, recognizing the symptoms of a fatal disease, would not buy slaves who had this glandular enlargement. The patient feels well and strong and is able to go aabout his usual occupations. The second stage is indicated by a distinct change in the appearance of the patient. His expression grows heavy and dull; he becomes apathetic lies around a great deal, and cannot exert himself. With the progress of the disease these symptoms become more marked; walking and speech become difficult and finally impossible. During the last week the sufferer lies in a state of complete coma, from which the illness derives its name. Often during the second stage of the disease, the brain becomes affected, and some of the patients try to run away into the forests or swamps, where they die of exposus or starvation. To prevent this the relatives of a sufferer frequently chain him down until the time comes when he can no longer move. STANDARD LIFE SECRETARY HERE. Among the business men in town this week was Mr. H. E. Perry, of Atlanta, Ga., secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company. He called upon the stock holders of his company.

It: will be learned with regret by the followers of the gridiron that Mr. Ransom, who has handled the Mv- harry football. team so successfully the past; two years, will not return next -year., .Mp. Ransom bas made many friendg in, this city for the stand he took in favor of clean and manly athletics and with such men as Profs. Cameron and Giles, the latter of Fisk. Mr. Ransom found men who THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1910. had already planted the spirit of man- liness. The game has been put on a high plane in the schools of this city. Mr. Ransom is a brave man and has decided to be coached the balance of his day, Dame Rumor has it that Mr, C. C. Ransom will in the near future claim Miss Helen White, of Memphis. It is also said that the young couple will reside in St. Paul, Minn. Miss White is a very accomplished young wom- an and is highly respected in the so- ciety circles of the Bluff City. Mr. Ransom has a great record as a football player and as coach he has made a reputation to be envied. His work on Hyde Park High School of | Chicago, and with Beloit, Wis. in 1904, 05 and 06, will ever be remem- ‘dered by followers of the game, AS c ach of Meharry, he developed the best teams that have ever worn the crimson and black, and in a shorter time than any one else has ever at- tempted, He is a brave and coura- geous man to submit to be coached after having won such fame as a coach of others.
