NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. FOR TRUE REFORMERS IN RICHMOND The Planet Throws Light On Situation. MUCH SPECULATION AS TO THE FINAL OUTCOME-OLD OFFICERS RETICENT-NEW OFFICIALS DETERMINED THAT TRUTH BE KNOWN-MEMBERS OF ORDER LOYAL AND STILL HAVE HOPE-OTHER NEGRO BANKS NOT SUFFERING-MECHANICS' BANK DEPOSITS ON THE INCREASE-FAITH OF DEPOSITORS UNSHAKEN. The receivers of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, are ready to report to the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond, and the delay in so reporting is for other reasons. The report will, however, be made early in the new year. It is also ascertained that the failure is a bad one. Where it was expected that the assets would amount to from two hundred to three hundred thousand dollars, the actual proceeds will not reach one hundred thousand dollars. This will be a serious blow to the Order itself, and unless the members agree to assume the indebtedness and forward money to Richmohd for the purpose, there is little doubt but what the license to do business will be revoked absolutely, instead of being merely suspended as is the situation at present. One of the most embarrassing handicaps is the fact that the management mortgaged several of the largest buildings of the Order before the present troubles, and a second mortgage is a most difficult proposition with which to deal when it comes to raising money. It is also an open question as to whether the Order or Grand Fountain in its own right had any money of any consequence on deposit in the Savings Bank at the time of its failure. Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes has not taken any definite action in the alleged shortage of ex-Superintendent Thos. W. Taylor. It is plainly evident that Mr. Taylor intends to insist that he does not owe the amount charged against him by the committee and that he will contest the matter in the courts. There were some reports that Mr. Taylor threatened to "tell all that he knows" if they press him in this or any other matter, but he strenouously denies having made any such assertion. The Fountains are sending in assessments as usual, although some of them have declined so to do. The money now being received is exceeding to a limited xxtent the expenses, but the entire corp of officers are living in suspense, not knowing what will take place next. The factional feeling existing with some of the members of the Order crops out occasionally, but not sufficiently seriously embarrass the present management. There is no further talf of calling a session of the Ground Fountain, and affairs may well be said to be drifting. The call for five-dollar loans is being feebly answered, but not enough to materially affect the situation one way or the other. Grand Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrell is not in the limelight anymore and he is as "dumb, as the proverbial oyster" on all matters affecting the organization, seeking information instead of imparting any. Grand Worthy Master Holmes is also non-communicative, but effable. The failure of the Nickel Savings Bank has not improved the situation, although it has shaken the confidence of people most who have no money in colored institutions. The Mechanics' Savings Bank and the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank have not been affected by the failures. People who had money in these banks have in most cases moved to the one or the other colored banks and thus demonstrated their faith in the ability of their own people to ride the waves of financial disaster. The Mechanics' Savings Bank is now offering to loan money to any NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1910. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a mustache and a high collar, facing slightly to the right. The background is a plain, oval frame.]] persons who have lost money in either of he other banks. It has issued a statement showing, under oath that, in the face of the failure of the True Reformers' Savings Bank, it increased its gross resources ($25,250.07) twenty-five thousand two hundred fifty dollars and seven cents in two months, and that it increased its deposits ($20,812.14) twenty thousand eight hundred and twelve dollars and fourteen cents in two months. This shows that the colored people have not lost confidence in their own banks, although those who never had any confidence in them may think that they have done so. The Mechanic's Savings Bank has had a standing offer to timid depositors to come and get their money if they desired so to do, being satisfied that a practical demonstration of that bank's ability to pay would be the strongest argument as to its stability and as to the nature of its backing in the financial centres of this city and New York. It has also emphasized the fact that it has not placed any mortgages on any of its real estate holdings and that there is no mortgage on its recently-elected palatial banking house on the northwest corner of Third and Clay streets. Few people know that it numbers white people among its depositors, and none of these have called for their money.—Richmond Planet. REV. G. A. GOINGS TO ADDRESS CHRISTIAN WORKERS Rev. G. A.

GOOD SHOWING MADE AT QUARTERLY MEETING OF Odd Fellows Endowment Board. SESSION HELD IN THIS CITY WEDNESDAY—GRAND MASTER FORT PRESIDED OVER BOARD— OPTIMISTIC AS TO FUTURE OF ORDER—BIG INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP AND FINANCES— NEW AWAKENING NOTICEABLE ON EVERY HAND—PLANS FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS DISCUSSED—CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN IN SUMMER. Wednesday, December 28th, the Endowment Board of the District Grand Lodge No. 6, G. U. O. O. F., met in quarterly session with District Grand Master Fort presiding. Other members present were Prof. W. S. Thompson, Secretary; Prof. J. F. Booker, Treasurer; Prof. T. P. Turner, Grand Secretary, and Dr. C. O. Hunter, Medical Register. Report of the various officers showed progress and rapid growth in all departments. Cullings from the seventeenth quarter showed a gain of more than five hundred in membership and more than nine hundred dollars net gain in the financial department. The Globe representative soon rounded up some of the Board members, including Secretary Thompson and Grand Master Fort, from whom he gleaned many interesting facts. Deputies recently appointed are working hard over the state and an awakening never before heard of is evident on every hand. New lodges are being organized, suits, heretofore annoying, are being prevented by the wisdom and executive ability of the men chosen by the executive head to assist in this campaign of enthusiasm. Cheering reports are coming in relative to the coming grand lodge in Chattanooga. Delegates thus far elected are representatives of all that's best in Odd Fellowship, and a great meeting is predicted. The present administration has been busy for the last year in clearing up debts piled up by reason of suits that were handed him as a heritage at the meeting of the Grand Lodge in Memphis. They are also working hard to place the Endowment Bureau on equal footing with the best fraternal benefit association. It was learned that the Grand Master is preparing to issue a very instructive circular to the local lodges on --- matters of general interest, through which circular he will discuss endowment with the Ruthites of the state, whose endowment is now the highest of any organization of its kind in Tennessee, being on equal footing with the men. Death claims to the amount of five thousand dollars were passed on. This item alone shows what Odd Fellowship means to Tennessee and its many widows and orphans who are kept by this aid from being left upon the charities of the world. Grand Master Fort will make an extensive tour of the state during the summer and carry conviction and information to the lodges. It is predicted that this administration will be able to give such an astounding account of its stewardship that all opposition will be driven to the wall and reports be received in the mountain city with the plaudit "Well done." IN MEMORY OF LESLEY KENNEDY. The Cedar Grove Baptist Church has this day listened with sadness to the funeral of Deacon Kennedy's son, Lesley Kennedy, who departed this life on the evening of the 22nd, inst. He was born December 29th, 1889. Entered school at Fisk at the age of fifteen years, continuing there for two years, after which time he entered Meharry Medical College. He was an industrious young man, and from his early training was devoted to the church and Sunday-school. Mr. Kennedy embraced a hope in Christ in May, 1905, and lived a consistent Christian until his death. During the five years he was a faithful member of the church and did his Christian duty well. He was always ready to fill any office or any thing that was assigned to him to do. At the time of his death he was holding the office of the church clerk and Sunday-school superintendent. In his weak and feeble condition he continued to put his appearance in church at the regular services, and continued to bear the church's burden spiritually and financially. Though he had become so weak and feeble from his nine months illness, he was so desirous to attend the church on communion day. the first day in the month, that he had to be led in church by his nephew, Jordan Jordan, Jr. There were many sad hearts when the faithful brother was brought in church. His mother, Mrs. Maggle Kennedy, had taught him from his early childhood to spend the Sabbath in learning about God and his duty toward him; this he never failed to do. He remained faithful and obedient until the end came. The funeral services took place at the said church of which he was a member. Rev. John Franklin and Rev. Dr. Beckton, Rev. W. Wilson conducted the funeral. Text was Rev. 2:10, "Be thou faithful until death and I will give thee a crown of life." The text was quite appropriate for the occasion as the young man was a faithful Christian. We the Cedar Grove Baptist Sunday-school, in the death of our superintendent, have lost one that was very dear to our hearts, and one of our most useful members. He always filled his place as teacher and superintendent, and oh, how we miss him. He was of a cheerful and lovely disposition. And though his years were few with us, yet he did what he could. And left a bright example for others to follow. We today resolve to live better lives so that we may meet him in the sweet beyond. And that we will be all the comfort we can to the beloved ones left behind. And that we bow in humble submission to his divine will, for he giveth and he taketh away and he will restore. For he is not dead but sleepeph. He has gone to the school where he no longer needs our protection. He lives, whom we call dead is not dead but sleep. YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY CLUB The Y. M. L. C. will hold its regular meeting with the president, Mr. Kinger, 29 North Hill street, on Monday night, January 2nd, at 7:30. It is expected that quite a number of visitors will be present at this meeting as an invitation is extended to all wishing to be present. A very special program has been arranged by the president, some of which will be extemporaneous work. The young men have a rival in the field now, since the young ladies have organized and will of necessity have to hustle, however, the benefits derived will be mutual. The young ladies will meet in the afternoon and the young men will continue to meet at night. No. 52 A DESERVING MEASURE TO GOME BEFORE THE CONGRESS Bill to Pay Freedmen's Bank Depositors. EX-SLAVES LED TO BELIEVE IN PROJECT BY PICTURES OF LINCOLN AND GRANT—BANK MADE MANY BAD INVESTMENTS—GOT TOO FAR OUT OF PLUMB—GOVERNMENT HAS PAID SIXTY TWO AND ONE-HALF PER CENT. WILL BE ASKED TO MAKE APPROPRIATION FOR THE BALANCE DUE THE DEPOSITORS—SAID TO FAVOR BILL. At the close of the late Civil War a few persons suggested the establishment of a savings bank to inculcate in the minds of those just entering into citizenship the idea of thrift and saving. Whether wisely or not, the project had the seeming sanction of the Government of the United States, which then stood in the minds of the freedmen as next to the Kingdom of Heaven in beneficence and next to Deity in power. The Freedmen's Savings Bank was established, and for some time attracted and received for deposit the small earnings of those who had not known the value of money. On most of the printed advertisements of the Bank were pictures of Lincoln, Grant and other heroes of the greatest war of modern times. To the freedmen such literature was as good a guarantee of good faith as could be desired. The Bank made many investments, as might have happened to the best regulated institution, and finally found itself unable to meet the demands of its depositors. What followed is too well known to need to be discussed now. In later years the Government has collected some sixty-two and one-half per cent, and most of this has been paid out to those who had claims, or those who have come after them. For many years, a strenuous effort has been made to have Congress pay the thirty-seven and one-half per cent, remaining unpaid. Three Presidents of the United States have recommended that the Government reimburse those who suffered by the suspension of the Bank. Committees of both the Senate and the House have at different sessions recommended the passage of the measure, and it is now believed that with a little urging, the measure will receive the sanction of both houses at the present session of the Congress. It is very certain that President Taft would approve the measure if passed, and Negroes are urged to write a letter to the Representative from his District and one Senator from his State, urging his support of this most deserving measure. MORNING CHOCOLATE. Mrs. H. A. Cameron entertained Mrs. C. H. Johnson at a morning chocolate followed by whist. The house was decorated with Xmas greens and cut flowers, and brass colonial candle sticks holding green and red tapirs. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mesdames J. P. Crawford and S. P.

Services at the churches with Sunday-school for the opening. Society goes calling. Open houses for many. A curtain is soon to fall, a season will soon end, friends are soon to part and above all, the Christmas will soon be gone, but it can be said without fear of jesting that society in Nashville has been on a very high order this week. Scores of visitors from various parts of the United States are here enjoying the hospitality of the people of Nashville. No city in the whole country bears a greater reputation for entertaining and right well has she maintained her reputation. House parties, receptions, at homes and various social fetes have been the order. No season in the history of Nashville has been so full. It seems as though one party or set was trying to see who could make more pleasure, then for fear there was not enough to make the week full, they both would go together and make one big swell event, such as that which occurred last night at the Hall. Hardly a family of prominence in the city but that has had company or helped to entertain some one else's company. The inclementy of the weather cut no ice with the society lovers and those who go. A glance over "Mr Madi's Notebook" will show to what extent the social side of Nashville has been revolving this season. In Honor of Miss Thomas On Christmas day Miss Jennie L. Noel, of Grundy street, was at home in honor of Miss Thomas, of Chicago, Ill., who is here as her guest. There was a large number of callers during the afternoon and evening. Miss Noel served refreshments in the dining-room. She was assisted by Miss Mary White. Throughout the afternoon and evening musical selections were rendered by the Misses Thomas, of Chicago, Dogan, of Texas. Miss Thomas will remain over for several days with Miss Noel.

They came walking, in buggies, carriages and automobiles. Assisting Mrs. Napier and her husband receive were Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Langston, Dr. and Mrs. E. B. Jefferson. All was aglow with the Yuletide spirit during the day. The list of those who called during the afternoon would make about as lengthy a one as has been read. The guests were met at the door by Mrs. Langston and Mr. Napier. Then they were greeted on the inside of the parlor by Mrs. Napier, who with Dr. Jefferson and Mr. Langston saw to it that every one was introduced. Mrs. Jefferson, assisted by Misses Scott, Hancock and Napier, served dainties in three courses in the dining-room. Mr. Lucien Searay saw to it that wraps and coats were put on with ease and comfort.

Carlmore, of Chicago, Ill., a brother of Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. C. H. Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., and Misses Grace A. and Cecile Johnson, of Greenville, S. C. In a large measure the guest list of the evening was drawn from former schoolmates of Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Carlmore, the thoughtfulness of which proved a source of unbounded pleasure to the honorees. Mrs. Townsend, in her characteristic way, artistically planned the features of the entertainment, the most attractive perhaps, being the house decorations, in which were shown many beautifully arranged plants and palms, cultivations of the hostess. After an impromptu musical pro- gram which was especially enjoyed, the guests partook of a delicious two-course menu.

The affair marked the formal opening of their palatial new residence on Capitol Square, which is one of the most imposing homes in the city. On this occasion many charming arrangements of the holiday decorations increased the beauty of the affair. The honoree appeared in a toilet of blue silk and lace. In the receiving line were Mrs. H. A. Boyd, Miss Lillie Banks and Miss Lillie Bright. From a lovely bower festooned with holiday vines, Miss Sophia Jackson served tea; Miss Emma J. Terry kept the register and Miss Hattie Caruthers presided at the dining-room door. During the afternoon many callers paid their respects to the hostesses and honoree, the occasion being made more interesting by the presence of many visitors to the city. Reception for the Johnsons. The spacious home of Mrs. M. E. Bryant, of 1205 Second avenue, South, was the scene of a most beautiful reception Wednesday, December 21, the guest of honor being Mrs. Chas. H. Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., and Misses Annie Cecile and Grace Ruth Johnson, of Greenville, S. C. The Christmas color scheme of green and red was carried out throughout the house as well as in the menu. In the sitting-room the table was beautiful with its lace cover, and held a large vase filled with red carnations, brass candle sticks with red and silver shades, and nappies containing red and green mints. Supper was served in the dining-room from whence the guests were invited into the living room where hot chocolate with maccaroons was served. The souvenirs were tiny cards bearing Xmas Greetings to all. The ladies who assisted Mrs. Bryant in receiving were Mesdames Wells, Cameron and Price, Misses Bright, Pinkard, Scott, Davis and Carter. Mrs. Johnson wore white point es'print over a delicate shade of pink messaline. Miss Cecile Johnson wore light blue messaline satin with pearl trimming.

A beautiful love romance, begun in the school days of the contracting parties, culminated in the marriage of Miss Janie Estelline Benson, daughter of Mrs. Ellen Benson, to Prof. William Henry Fort, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fort, Monday evening, December 26. The wedding took place at the spacious residence of the bride's mother and was witnessed by a large gathering of friends. For the occasion the interior of the home was attractively decorated with a profusion of cut flowers and palms, the front parlor where the ceremony was performed, presenting a beautiful scene. Preceding the ceremony, which was performed by Rév. W. S. Ellington, D. D., a college chum of the groom, an impressive musical program was performed, all the participants being former students of Fisk University, the Alma Mater of the bride and groom. Prof. J. W. Work, Sr., sang "Be thou faithful unto death" in his characteristic way; Mrs. H. A. Cameron, in a sweet voice, rendered "Because." Promptly at seven-thirty o'clock Miss Hattie Caruthers at the piano began Mendelssohn's wedding march to the strains of which the bridal party entered. First came Miss Elizabeth Moore with Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher. Miss Moore's gown was of white crepe de chene over pink; she carried a shower bouquet of white roses nd ferns; following the couple came the matron of honor, Mrs. P. R. Burrus, in a draped model of pink satin with pearl trimmings; her flowers were pink carnations tied with pink ribbon. Miss Martha Grisham, the maid of honor, entered alone; she was attired in a creation of white net over pink silk and carried white roses and ferns. The groom entered with the best man, Prof. J. W. Work, Jr. Leaning on the arm of her brother, Prof. P. H. Benson, came the bride, presenting a beautiful picture in a gown of cream crepe de chene, elaborately trimmed in pearl passamentrie and real lace. Her veil of imported tulle was caught up with a bandeau of pearls; in her arm she carried a chatelaine bouquet of bride's roses and malden hair fern, tied with long streamers of white satin ribbon. The bridal party formed a semi-circle under an arch of flowers which enveloped a recess between two windows; immediately behind the party stood a quartett of Fisk Jubilee singers, who at the close of the ceremony in strains of so much pathos as to cause tears to come into the eyes of all who listened, sang "The Benediction." The quartett was composed of Mesdames J. W. Work, Jr., C. O. Hadley, Profs. Work and Ryder. After congratulations had been offered the happy couple, an ice-course was served, in which the bride's colors, pink and white, were shown. In the back parlor was seen a beautiful display of costly and useful wedding presents, the most noticeable among which was a chest of silver from the teachers of Knowles School and many valuable household accessories from members of the family connection. The contracting parties are both members of pioneer families in this city and have been popular adjuncts to Nashville's society. Mrs. Fort has taught in the city schools here since her graduation from Fisk University, starting as a primary teacher; so rapid has been her advancement that she had reached the responsible position as second principal of Knowles School, one of the largest public schools in the city. She is highly accomplished and will make an enviable place for herself in whatever clime her lot is cast. Prof. Fort is also an alumnus of Fisk University and has, held some lucrative positions in this state as principal of some of the leading schools. He is also prominent in jodge circles, being at the head of the great Odd Fellow fraternity of Tennessee. At present he is the principal of the Okmulgue High School, Okmulgue, Okha.

Mrs. Ellen Benson was assisted in receiving by Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fort, Mrs. M. A. Smiley, Mrs. J. B. Singiston, Mrs. Emma Boyd Stewart, Mrs. Carrie White Brown and Miss Lena T. Jackson. The bridly party was royally entertained at six o'clock dinner in the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Fort on Sixteenth avenue, North, Tuesday, December 27. Prof. and Mrs. Fort left Thursday morning for Memphis, where they were banqueted Thursday night. They will be at home in Okmulgee, Okla., after January 1st. Turner-Wakefield Mr. Everett Turner and Miss Maggie Wakefield were married in Chicago Wednesday evening at 9:30 o'clock Rev. W. S. Braddau, D. D., pastor of Berean Baptist Church, officiated. The contracting parties were formerly residents of Nashville. Miss Mahan Receives. One of the most enjoyable of the holiday functions was the reception of Monday afternoon given by Miss Belma Mahan to compliment Miss Zenobia Williams, of St. Louis, Mo., the popular guest of Mrs. Edward Kennedy. The affair took place at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Ellington. A display of holiday decorations enhanced the attractiveness of the lovely interior of this inviting home, amid which Miss Mahan, assisted by Mrs. Kennedy, received her guests. The honoree, in a stylish afternoon costume of pink silk, stood in the front parlor, surrounded by a coterie of admiring friends made on a former visit here when she was so frequently entertained. During the calling hours a delicious sandwich with cocoa was served. VISITING RELATIVES Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Phillips and children, formerly of this city, now residing in Cincinnati, Ohio, are in the city for the holidays, the guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Phillips. They will also spend some time with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hyde, leaving for home next Tuesday. RT. REV. EVANS TYREE PREACHES SPECIAL SERMON TO. Y. M. C. A. Deep in theory and soul-inspiring was the sermon to the Y. M. C. A. on Christmas Sunday preached by Bishop Evans Tyre. His theme was "The New Birth Symbolized by the Birth of Christ." His text included verses form the several passages of scripture touching upon the birth of Christ. Quite a number of persons were present and all went away feeling a deep inspiration. In his discussion the Bishop urged the young men to study all the modern sciences, philosophy and everything possible that is uplifting, but hold on to the old time religion. It is what will save the race and he urged them to take it everywhere and if they did not already have it they ought to get it now. This sermon coming at this opportune time will long be felt by those who heard it. On next Sunday, January 1, 1911, Rev. Weatherby, the pastor of Clark's Memorial Church, will deliver a lecture to the association. Rev. Weatherby is a man of wide experience in Y. M. C. A. work, having been the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Atlanta, Georgia. A good attendance is expected at this meeting. Meeting one hour, from 3 to 4 p. m. NEW CLUB FOR YOUNG LADIES NEW CLUB FOR YOUNG LADIES. At a meeting of young ladies on last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Miss Lou Willa Baugh, of $3 Fairfield avenue, there was effected the organization to be known to future times as the "Young Women's Literary Club." This act is the culmination of the plans which have been under way for quite a while. The young ladies were quite enthusiastic and from all appearances as were evident at this meeting the club is destined for long life and in time will cope with any other organization of kindred nature. The club is an auxiliary to the Young Men's Literary Club and will pursue a line of work quite similar to the young men's, if not the same work. It is anticipated that the two organizations will be of great service to the young people of the city in many ways and will spread the habit of literary pursuits. Mr. E. L. King, the efficient president of the Young Men's Literary Club, assisted in organizing the club. His long experience in club work enabled him to give much wholesome advice to the young ladies in beginning their club. The officers elected are as follows: Miss Lou Willa Baugh, President; Miss Mary E. Carter, Vice President; Miss Kittle M. Davis, Secretary; Miss Amanda Alexander, Treasurer. The club will meet next Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 at the residence of Miss Amanda Alexander, corner of North Hill and East Hill streets. AGED WIDOWS ENTERTAINED. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Wingfield, of 1802 Patterson street, entertained at their home last Friday night in honor of a large number of aged widows. The occasion was one of those that does not always occur but is grand in its purpose. It was planned to some fifteen widow ladies. A special Christmas tree was arranged in the home and a cup and sancer was put upon it for each one. The cup was filled with ground coffee. Ten members of the invited guests were present whose names follow: Mesdames M. F. Stevans, 'Annie Crockett, Jno. Shields, Melvinia Lewis, Rachel Williams, J. M. Cockrill, Mary Ullis, Henry Blackwell. Ewing, Amanda Roland. With these were Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Gipson. Few occasions are more appropriate than was this one. Many young people were present The entertainment lasted from 7 to 11 o'clock. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "The Art of Making All Things New," will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning, January 1, 1911. There will also be special services at the First Baptist Church Saturday night, December 31, from 10 to 12 o'clock. All are invited. Misses Dozielee and Corrola Merrlwethers spent two days in the city the guests of their aunt, Mrs. John Nelson, of 529 Sixth avenue, South. Misses Tyler and Robertson, of St. Louis, Mo., are visiting Mrs. A. B. Carter. THE LORD'S SUPPER THE RIGHT VESSELS USED TO COMMEMORATE IT 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 NATIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH SUPPLY Co. R. H. BOYD, Secretary, 523 Second Avenue, North, NASHVILLE, TENN. LOSES HOME BY FIRE. Special to Nashville. Globe Special to Nashville Globe. Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 22.—The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Benefield was completely destroyed by fire here at 12:39 this morning. The fire, which was of an unknown origin, was raging and half the house was burning before the occupants were awakened by the excited neighbors who came to their rescue. Everything in the house save the trunk of Mrs. Benefield, which contained only last summer's clothes and a uniform of Mr. Benefield's was consumed. The force of letter carriers of this city, of whom Mr. Benefield is one, have been very active in coming to his rescue at this time. The news of the loss of the Benefield home was confirmed by a long distance phone message last Thursday night, by Rev. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board, who is the father of Mrs. Benefield. Dr. Boyd wired for his daughter to come home if she could not find a suitable boarding place and it was hoped she would have Christmas with her mother, but she wrote that her friends had been exceedingly hospitable in opening their homes to them. She was Miss Mattie Boyd before she married and was the cashier of the Publishing Board. MISSES ALLEN AND DOGAN. Miss Lillian Dean Allen is spending the holidays with her parents on Fourteenth avenue, North. She is accompanied by Miss Dogan, the acclaimed daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Dogan, of Wiley University. Both young ladies are expert entertainers and well accomplished in music, Miss Allen having charge of the musical department of Wiley University, this being her second year. It is though very likely that Miss Dogan will remain over here to further pursue her study in music. She is related to Dr. and Mrs. McMillan, of Walden. DEATH OF MR. LOUiS BECKHAM. A telegram from Muskogee, Okla., which was received in Nashville Saturday, announced the sudden death of Mr. Louis Beckham, the oldest brother of Rev. Wm. Beckham, of this city. The sad message met Rev. Beckham, who came home to spend Christmas. He was due to reach here at 3:40 over the Dixie Flyer. The telegram came at 3 p. m. it gave no details, simply saying: "Your brother, Louis Beckham, dropped dead here to day." Rev. Beckham wired instructions for interment, providing for all the expenses as he could not reach there for the funeral. CHRISTMAS CAME ON SUNDAY. Not for a number of years have the people been so blessed as to have the pleasure of observing both Christmas and Sunday on the same day. "Twas a double blessing," said an eminent divine of this city "in that we celebrated both the birthday and the resurrection day of our Lord and NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1910 Savior Jesus Christ." At all of the churches in the city special services were held, and most of them were filled to overflowing. THE PARIS PUBLIC SCHOOL. The public school of Paris has taken on a new lease of life under the principalship of Mrs. A. J. Hampton, who is now serving her first term. New ideas of teaching and new methods of discipline have been inaugurated, thus giving the school a new lease of usefulness. Mrs. Hamilton is a highly cultured Christian woman and instills her personality in her every effort. The patrons of the Paris school need to be congratulated upon the acquisition of such talent as is possessed by Mrs. Hampton. The school has eight grades. The building is modern and well kept. Mrs. Hampton is well and favorably known in Nashville and Columbia, where her friends are legion. She was formerly Miss A. J. Dew, of Columbia. T. W. HAMPTON, D. D. Dr. T. W. Hampton was born in Fayetteville, Tenn., in 1863. He was licensed to exhort by St. Paul A. M. E. Church at Columbia, Tenn.; joined the Conference at Murfreesboro; attended Turner Normal College at Shelbyville, being one of the first to graduate from that institution. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by the trustees of sa idcollege after a searching theological examination. Dr. Hampton is now the beloved pastor of Quinn Chapel, of Paris, Tenn. He is a power in the pulpit, being a forcible and convincing speaker. He is destined to go higher in the councils of his church, as he is a man who has the courage of his convictions, daring to stand for what he conceives to be right at all times. His name is a household word throughout Middle Tennessee. The future holds much good in store for all such men as Dr. Hampton. RETURNS AFTER AN EXTENSIVE TRIP. Mrs. Annie D. Frierson, of 2006 Herman street arrived Sunday morning after being absent from the city for the past five month visiting her son, Sergeant Major E. P. Frierson, Tenth United States Cavalry, at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, also spending a few weeks with her son, Mr. R. P. Frierson and daughter, Mrs. C. B. Robinson, in Chicago, and later a few weeks with her son, Mr. John B. Frierson, in Columbus, Ohio. Then she stopped two days with her son, Mr. E. J. Frierson, in Louisville, Ky. Her dangter-in-law and grandson came with her from Louisville. On her way from Vermont to Chicago Mrs. Frierson went through Canada, stopping in Montreal five hours and saw many interesting features. She says she has had a most delightful trip and is very much improved. PUTTING A BAN ON NEGRO DECK HANDS. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17.—If plans now under way develop it apppears but a question of time before the place the Negro roustabout has held for years on the steamers of the Mississippi will be usurped by white men, who heretofore have declined to have anything to do with steamboating on the Father of Waters as stevedores. The packet companies operating steamboats on the Mississippi and its tributaries have experienced no end of trouble with Negroes, particularly in winter, when traffic is unusually heavy on the lower Mississippi. At times the Negro roustabouts have held out until the last minute for wages that were exorbitant. Many boats have backed out from their wharves at Memphis, St. Louis, New Orleans, Cairo and other places, carrying a crew of roustabouts who had been engaged at prices averaging more than $100 per month and board. On many occasions steamboats have left their landings hours, and even days, late, due to inability to get together a crew to handle the cargo. This happened several times at St. Louis last fall. The packet companies have been working on this one problem for many years and a way of solving it appears to be in sight. White men from the east, north and west were imported to the south, placed aboard these steamers, but, being wholly unaccustomed to such heavy work at all hours and a forced to sleep on top of all sorts of freight, eating when and where they could and being served with food that was anything but wholesome, but which the Negro "rousters" thrived on, it soon dawned on the packet companies that a return to Negro help would have to be made. In a statement made by John L. Matthews, secretary of the Mississippi Valley Transportation Company, he said that it was the purpose of that company to employ white men in regular positions and care for and pay them in such manner as will be satisfactory to them. The idea is to employ union men, members of the Stevedores' Union, International Seamen's Union, Lake Seamen's Union and such organizations. A conference was held between Secretary Matthews and Andrew Fureseth, Victor Olander and Frank Murray, all representing seamen's unions, during the convention of the American Federation of Labor in St. Louis. According to the statements made by these three men, if the proper accommodations are provided, as near regular hours as can be afforded, with wholesome food, they will take it upon themselves to furnish all the white labor necessary. The Mississippi Valley Transportation Company will soon have in service its new steel steamers and barges. Much of the company's freight will be handled by machinery, lifting out large units in steel crates. To operate such machinery as this the Negro roustabots would be incompetent, and the result is a strong effort to persuade white men from the great lakes who are skilled in such work, especially in stowing and handling of freight, to come to the river. Quarters aboard the steamers for these men will be comfortable, and shower baths will be provided. Union wages will be paid and steady employment is promised. MISS BURNETT, OF SUNSHINE HOME VISITS KENTUCKY. The Christian Workers' Foreign Missionary Society will hold its regular monthly meeting the first Monday night in January, 1911, instead of the fourth Monday night in December. All are cordially invited to be present. After a pleasant stay of ten days Sister Joanna P. Moore left for Chicago last Tuesday night, the 13th, where she will spend a few days; from there she will go to Providence, R. I., where she will spend the winter. Miss Florence Burnett returned with a glowing report of her visit to Louisville and Bowling Green, Ky. The foreign mission institute was quite a success, and made a lasting impression for good. She had the pleasure of addressing the students of State University; thirty-five of the students subscribed for Hope, our magazine. President Amiger and the teachers made it very pleasant father. She was kindly received at Calvary Baptist Church, of which Rev. Parrish, D. D., is pastor, and given a chance to present the work of the Flireside School. During her stay in this city she was kindly entertained by Miss N. H. Burroughs and friends at Douglass Building. Here she had an opportunity to see how the work of the Foreign Mission Board and Women's Auxiliary is conducted at headquarters. At Bowling Green, Ky., she was the guest of Mrs. Mattie Carmer, formerly of this city. On Tuesday night she spoke at the church of which Rev. Mitchell is pastor. She also addressed the students of Bowling Green Academy and a part of the pupils of the public school on Wednesday. Miss Coleman, a former secretary of the Fireside School, is a teacher of the Academy. Here she met a very interesting class of young people and teachers who received her gladly. As a result of this visit twenty-seven students of the Academy are now readers of Hope, and quite a number of other subscriptions were secured. Miss Blanche Ridgely left Tuesday night for Lebayou, La., where she will spend the holidays with relatives. Mrs. M. H. Flowers spent Saturday and Sunday with St. John Church, of Hendersonville, Tenn. Miss Florence Burnett will attend an exercise at Clarksville, Tenn., Tuesday night, of which managers and participants are interested in our foreign mission self-denial work. PRESIDEN TKEALING IN THE CITY. Among the visitors who came home to spend the holidays was Dr. H. T. Kealing, President of Quindara University, Kansas City, Kans. He came home to spend a week or so with his family, who is still residing here on Eighteenth avenue, North. Dr. Kealing is mingling with his friends and looks the picture of health. When seen by a Globe representative he expressed himself as well pleased with being in the educational work after a lapse of over fifteen years. It will be remembered that he was at one time president of Paul Quinn College, at Waco, Texas, the educational institution conducted by the African Methodist Church in that state. He was elected editor of the A. M. E. Review in 1896, which position he filled until a few months ago. He states that he will continue the publication of the Quarterly Review here in Nashville until the next conference of the A. M. E. Church which is to meet in Kansas City in 1912, but will not charge the church one cent for his services. The Doctor is non-committal as to whom he favored as his successor or whether the church would continue to have the magazine published here in Nashville. The institution over which Dr. Kealing holds the reins is one of great promise. Situated as it is in the new West, and in a section where the Negro population is increasing at a rapid rate, Quindaro University has a splendid opportunity to render a great service. The closest college to this one is Lincoln University, and that institution caters almost exclusively to the state of Missouri, leaving the whole west to look to the university at Kansas City, Kans., for educational opportunities. The territory to be drawn upon consists of the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and as far as California. The new president states that it has hope of a larger appropriation the incoming year for the work than has been given by any former legislature. The plant already has five large substantial brick buildings, situated on a tract of land of one hundred and thirty acres. The state will be asked for an appropriation of $114,000 for the erection of new buildings and the installation of a central heating plant. Dr. Kealing is very well pleased with his new work, and believes that some day this college will be the leading university in the west for the higher education of the Negro youth. JUDGE BAKER SETS FREE 91 PRISONERS CHRISTMAS. The City Workhouse presented an unoccupied look Christmas day as the result of Judge Baker's "Christmas gift," which was enjoyed by 91 prisoners Monday when an order for their release came down from the court with "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" marked on the bottom. Only a few of those who were in for ugly offenses were allowed to remain. Thirteen women were in the number who enjoyed the generosity of the City Judge. SAN/ DOMINGO MOVES TROOPS. One Black Republic Prepares to Have a Scrap with Another. San Domingo, Dec. 26.—The Dominican government is moving troops to the frontier. This action is explained officially as due to the fact that Hayti has placed soldiers on the border line between Santo Domingo and Hayti. Diplomatic negotiations, however, continue between the republics. This government is confident that a reference of the boundary question to friendly arbitration is necessary. DR. T. E.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1910. THE NEW YEAR In a few hours we will be ushered into a new year, and following an old custom we resolve to "turn over a new leaf" or in other words we make a pledge to ourselves that we will strive to do more good deeds and to live better lives in the future than we have in the past. As a servant of the people, and in a most humble manner we would like to offer a few suggestions as New Year resolutions for the Negroes of Nashville and Tennessee: First, the new year begins on Sunday. Let every one get up, put on his best clothes and attend church services somewhere, and make a liberal contribution as an offering to the cause of Christianity. Secondly, resolve to keep up the church-going habit for twelve months. Thirdly, carry the children to some Sunday-school every Sunday and retain there with them. We guarantee that every one who will adopt the suggestions thus far outlined will say at the end of the year 1911 that they have made material progress and have increased their moral courage as well. Again, it would be a grand thing if every husband and father would resolve to work every day possible in the new year and stay away from picnics and excursions. Let every man, woman and child not resolve to, but start a bank account. Every pastor of a church should resolve not to advocate steamboat and railroad excursions. The business men should resolve to have some kind of an organization that will meet monthly. Let us all resolve to do everything that we resolve to do, and in the best manner we know how. HELP MAKE NASHVILLE BETTER Since we know Nashville has a population of over 100,000 we can realize that our responsibilities are greater than they have been at any time past. The only way to meet these responsibilities is for every citizen to do his whole duty toward making the city better. Every one can do something; the rich, the poor, the great, the small. First of all we should have a well-regulated and clean city. The cottage should be kept clean and tidy as well as that of the palace, for the only way we can --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1910. have a clean and beautiful city is for every one to take an equal interest in trying to keep it so. We must clean up the front yard and the back yard as well. Servants must feel that it is their duty to do their level best at whatever they may be engaged; and then these same people should take the same pride in their homes, however humble they may be. Nashville has a great reputation as an educational center, and her citizens should feel a pride in being residents of such a popular city; but we must not lose sight of the fact that the only way for Nashville to maintain her popularity is for every citizen to become a booster at home and abroad. They must also understand that the word "Booster" means you must hustle all the time, and that the results of your hustling must be presented in the most tidy form. CHRISTMAS EDITIONS. We wish to express our admiration of the Christmas editions of many of our contemporaries. The following are deserving of special mention: The Florida Sentinel, Journal and Guide, Richmond Planet, Atlanta Independent, New York Age and the Indianapolis Freeman. Many others show signs of prosperity. The appearance of these papers suggests the power they could exert if they were organized, and had some way of understanding each other. But so long as they go at it single-handed their influence will remain in the weakened condition it is now. Information that President Taft did not appoint Mr. Lewis Assistant attorney General should come as a surprise to the observant Negro. It is an act of the real man. We will soon meet the law makers with us again. Mr. Negro, with a republican governor, tenderment will be our daily companion from now till the lark sings. If you paid children a pound for turkey for Christmas you should not blame the real man. Pay him and you can get more fuel. Public sentiment has at last been awakened to the conditions to be found in the alleys of Washington. One of the leading civic bodies in the city has taken this matter under consideration and a thorough investigation is to be made of the alleys and the facts gathered to be brought to the attention of the proper congressional committee with the ultimate purpose of having all alleys converted into minor streets. This is a movement which especially touches the colored people of Washington and one in which they should be interested. A large majority of those who live in the alleys are colored people, and more can be done to help them by the colored people than by anyone else. The alley problem, as it is called, is not so much a problem of the alleys, as it is a problem of clean, sanitary living. What our alley population needs most of all is to be taught how to live. The colored churches and organizations can do more to help these unfortunate class to learn how to live than can any other agencies. In the upward movement, therefore, for the betterment of our alleys and their population the colored people here should allow themselves to be left out.—Washington American. More than two-thirds of the Negro voters in New York and Ohio, according to a published statement, voted for the Democratic candidates in the elections last month and at least half of the Negro voters in other Northern states voted the Democratic ticket. Let that fact be known in the South and the "grandfather clause" will soon pass into "innocuous desuetude."—The Congregationalist and Christian World. DISTINGUISHED ORGANIST AT FISK. Dr. George Whitfield Andrews, Professor of Organ in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, will appear at Fisk University in an organ recital to-night. Edward Dickinson, Author of the History of Music, regards Dr. Andrews as one of the ablest organists in the country. He says: "His recitals cover the whole range of organ literature. He not only has sufficient skill for the easy mastery of the great work of organ music, but he also possesses the rare power of illuminating the composition that he performs with the fire of his own high artistic temperament." Dr. Andrews has made a specialty of appearing before the students in quite a large number of colleges throughout the country. He gave recitals at the cago World's Fair in 1893, at the St. Louis World's Fair, and been in great demand for organings throughout the Middle West. Andrews is also a composer of music of considerable note, and to-night play several compositions his own. The holiday season at Fisk University closed Tuesday night, and classes resumed work Wednesday. Speaking of race leadership, one has to consider conditions. Too many of our people think that by antagonizing everything some other worthy colored man has done they show their transcendent ability as leaders. When it comes to tearing down, these leaders occupy the front of the stage. When it comes to building up, you can see their coat-tails as they rush out of the back door. We want leaders, who can lead upward, and not wind-mill leaders, who lead downward—Richmond Planet. FRANKLIN NOTES Mrs Will Cartwright and little sons, Wilber and John I. and Miss Julia Otey, of Nashville, are spending the holidays with their mother, Mrs. Malinda Otey. Mrs. Syrilda Ratcliffe entertained at dinner Monday Mrs. Bettie Kinnard, Mrs. Amanda Neely, Mrs. Margaret North, Miss Mattie Kinnard, Mr. Sam Kinnard and little daughter, Wilhelmina, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. A. Hughes. An elaborate two-course menu was served. WCODLAWN NOTES. The holidays are being quietly and pleasantly celebrated here. There were services at both churches Sunday. Rev. R. B. Polk held his first quarterly meeting with Palestine C. M. E. Church. Rev, C. H, Clark, of near Gallatin, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Johnson. Mr. Jno. Ewing has returned after a month's stay in Madisonville, Ky. Mr. B. F. Jones, teacher at Dotsonville, is spending the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones. Quite an interesting review of the Sunday-school year's work was held by the Sunday-school of the Baptist church Monday, after which a dinner and Christmas tree were arranged for the children, which was much enjoyed by all. Mr. Willie Cowherd, of Evansville, is spending a few days with her and relatives here. Miss Ora L. Jones, of Clarksville, is spending a few days with her friends. Mr. J. M. Poindexter is spending the holidays with her daughter, Mrs. Ligon Metcalf, of Rossview. Miss Ira Norfleet and Mr. Dexter Davis were united in marriage Monday night.

Among the Sewanee rooters. FARMS AND FARMERS MORE PROFITABLE CORN-PLANTING METHOD. Mr. C. P. Hartley, of the Department of Agriculture in a recent bulletin compares the advantages of drilling and ordinary checking of corn with those of "kernel-spaced checking" or checking in which the hill is one of four stalks, each placed at one of the corners of a five-inch or larger square. in tests of this method conducted at Round Hill and McLean, Va., and at Silketon, O., on different soils and with different types of corn, gains 13 3-4, 5 and 4 per cent., respectively, for the yield secured by the ordinary method were obtained. Mr. Hartley suggests the manufacture of check rowers with two shoes each corn row and a separate swing tube for each kernel of a seed adjustable in point of number, kernels dropped and the spacing between the kernels of a hill. It is said out that the increased yield and such kernel spacing should be easier gain, as a properly constructed check rower should drop the seed in separate places as rapidly and cheaply as the present check rower does its work. No difficulty was encountered in cultivating corn planted in this manner in rows 3 1-4 feet apart. Three-horse 2-row cultivators could have been used to as good advantage as on the usual method of checking, even though the kernels had been spaced six or eight inches apart. At McLean, Va., and Piketon, O., it was noted that kernel-spaced rows were less subject to damage by winds than those checked in the ordinary manner. Problem of Farm Help. The scarcity and, in some localities, the entire absence of efficient farm labor, has greatly hindered the introduction and development, especially in the South, of intensive methods of cultivation, which are the only sure means of bringing production up to the high level attained in countries where farming lands are scarce. This has brought on a further discussion of the treatment of farm laborers and the inducement, or lack of inducement, to life on the farm. It is generally acknowledged that the average farmer, in his treatment of farm hands, does not make the life very attractive, and that the only solution of the problem lies in a radical change in the method, especially in so far as it concerns their home and family life. It is suggested that the married laborer should be given the preference, and he should be provided with a cottage of his own, with a piece of land, one to five acres, which he may cultivate for his own benefit, and of which he should be offered an opportunity to become the owner. The idea could be extended so as to include the settlement, on similar tracts, of enough laborers, with their families, to supply all the needs of the farm in busy seasons. The necessary investment in each cottage, so provided, would not be large, and the possession of a little "home of his own" by each laborer would go far to substitute, at a lower cost, permanent employment for the nomadism which is to-day such an unwholesome feature of the industrial situation on the farm. LIME NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR FERTILIZER. The idea yet exists among many that lime is a fertilizer. If lime is applied no commercial fertilizer need be bought, think scores of farmers. This is far from being the case. Lime is needed in many soils, but not to take the place of the phosphoric acid and potash of commercial fertilizers. Its function is to sweeten the soil, to make a sandy soil more compact and a clay soil more open, and to liberate plant food that exists in the soil. Lime will usually stimulate the soil to greater production for a few years, but if no stable manure, commercial fertilizer nor green manure is used the yields will) fall off until they will be below what they were before lime was Note the effect of lime one season in an experiment at the Pennsylvania Experiment Station: Manure 6 tons, lime 2 tons, 5784 pounds of hay per acre; manure 6, 4006 pounds; lime 2 tons, 1,880 pounds; and no lime, no manure, 1,040 pounds of hay per acre. But the yields of all products on the four different treatments for 25 years were respectively 18,016 pounds per acre, 17,383 pounds, 11,632 ponds, and 11,663 pounds per acre. The manure was applied every two years and the lime every four years. A rotation of crops with good tillage made the yields on the no fertilizer, no manure plats better than than they would have been under average conditions. It will be observed that the yield for the entire period on the manure plot was nearly as good as where lime was added too. Manure had practically the same effect as lime. This is a point of common observation; manure helps get clover, lime helps get clover, and in many instances the combination gives the largest returns. Use lime and watch results from year to year, but do not cease to use F. C. COUCLASS LODGE MOBIL R CINCINNATI, OHIO. We manufacture K. P.

RANK OF TENNESSEE COUNTIES BY POPULATION. Changes in the relative standing of Tennessee counties were made by the recent census enumerators. A gain of nearly 165,000 was made in population, but in many counties there was a positive loss, while others barely held their own. In the four large counties, however, substantial gains were recorded, a round 110,000 being the increase. For the counties having the four large cities there was no change in relative position, Shelby, Davidson, Knox and Hamilton being still the order. But for fifth place Gibson county stepped in front of Maury, the former making a substantial gain, the latter slipping back. Madison county is still in seventh place, but close behind Maury. VanBuren still maintains its place at the tail of the procession, having still further strengthened its position since 1900 by losing about 7 per cent of its former population, which now numbers 2,784 people. Among the counties which have remained nearly stationary are Sevier, Hickman, Coffee, Franklin and Perry, the last named having gained 15 in ten years. Franklin county gained an even 100. No county is in the 26,000 class this time, and none in the 3,000 class. The following is the standing of the ninety-six counties by population, according to the last census, with their population ten years ago. Population ten years ago. Counties. 1910. 1900.

TO MAKE EXTENSIVE IM PROVEMENTS. "Announcement that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad will practically rebuild its line from Edgefield Junction, Tenn., past Nashville to Decatur, Ala., has been verified by W. L. Mapother, First Vice-President of the road. Agents of the company now are securing rights-of-way through the country across which the revised line will be constructed. The surveys and estimates have been completed, and the work will be rushed to completion at a cost of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, according to the official. "Published reports that the Louisville and Nashville system would run a new line parallel to the old one, but at some distance away, 'to be used exclusively for freight traffic, was dedied by Mr. Mapother. 'That is erroneous,' he declared. 'We will revise the old line avoiding grades as far as possible, and will double-track the system from Edgefield Junction to Decatur. This revised line will be used both for passenger and freight traffic. "In order to have better service we probably shall run the main line around Nashville, so that the yard traffic may be avoided, and run a belt line into the city. The plans for the revision have been in course of formation for more than a year, and so carefully have they been worked out that we expect the total cost to be about $3,500,000. "When asked why the railroad is going to make such radical changes, and if it is planning to secure an entrance directly into the Panama Canal territory, Mr. Mapother declared the road is always looking out for its best interests. "So far as the revision goes,' he said, 'double tracks, more even roadbed and fewer curves are a necessity to the Louisville and Nashville system, if the company is to keep abreast of the times, and be an active competitor of other progressive railroads. We expect to revise the system between Louisville and Nashville, and secure better routes as soon as convenient. That, of course, does not mean that we have set a time to begin this contemplated change, but we shall make the revision and change the route where needed." MOVED INTO THEIR NEW HOME. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Whittaker have moved to their new home at 1100 Cole street. For seven years Mr. Whittaker has been assistant chef at Vanderbilt University. Mrs. Whittaker reports that since this is the first Christmas to have lived in their own home, it was more enjoyable than any of the past. This home is commendable to all young couples and hospitality to all friends. FIRMIN BARRED FROM HAITI. Government of Black Republic Declares Him a Traitor to His Country.

General Johnson was a Southerner to the manner born, but was a man of national reputation. A telegram from Tuscaloosa, Ala., dated December 7, gives a brief account of the passing of the distinguisher fighter. General Johnson was one of the large number of Southern confederates who believed in a square deal and who made himself famous on more than one occasion. He was interested in the development of the New South, being a trustee of a school at Tuscaloosa for the education of boys and girls of our race. At the Clifton Conference, held in Dyke Rock Cottage, Clifton, Mass., which is a suburb of Boston, General Johnson was, possibly for the first time, more thoroughly understood by both the Negroes of the United States and the Northern people than ever before. At this Conference he met Gen O. O. Howard, of Vermont, and they posed for a picture and it was noticeable that during the entire week of this conference, which is one of the DR. DALEY AT MEHARRY. On Wednesday of last week the Juniors and Seniors of the Medical Department listened with pleasure to the learned address delivered by Dr. Daley, of Provident Hospital, Chicago, the trusted friend and assistant of Dr. Daniel H. Williams. Dr. Daley en route from Fort Worth, Texas, his native home, made it a point to visit Nashville where he might see and speak to the students of Meharry. The Doctor was introduced by Dr. R. F. Boyd. In course of his remarks he briefly outlined the relations between the nurses and internes and that between individual students and one another, congratulating the institution on launching upon a new epoch in the spirit of a hospital. He further spoke on the benefits to be derived from a teaching Hospital. The Doctor also took occasion to speak on the branch of his choice "Anatomy," laying particular stress on the value of knowing this branch in order that the collaterals might be realized. Dr. Daley is a graduate of North Western University Medical School of Chicago, Ill., where he afterwards held the chair of Demonstrator in Anatomy. Since that time he has acquired a thorough knowledge of surgery and has also made and reported his researches along that line. His association with Dr. Daniel Williams as his first assistant is sufficient to recommend him. We regret to note the indisposition of Mrs. Hulbard, the wife of our beloved Dean. We hope for her a speedy recovery. The Emancipation exercises will be celebrated at the Auditorium on Monday, January 2nd, at 10 a.m. Representatives of the Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Departments also there will be a liberal representation of the Literary Department to appear on the program. The public is cordially invited. The young ladies of Walden held most notable ever held for the development of the moral, intellectual and religious side of the race, they were boon companions. The report of the Conference, held August 18-20, 1908, says: "The above picture represents two distinguished veteran soldiers, one General Robert D. Johnson, of Alabama, owner of slaves and an officer of the Confederate Army; the other Major-General O. O. Howard, of Vermont, distinguished as an anti-slavery man and a Union officer. These two famous generals fought on opposite sides in the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863. They did not meet again until they sat side by side in the Clifton Conference with the open Bible and beautiful flowers between them. During the night they occupied the Prophet's Chamber overlooking the unbroken sea and in the morning decorated each other with flowers plucked in the garden of Dyke Rock Cottage." The reproduction of this famous picture also reminds the Nashville people that Howard Congregational Church, located on Twelfth avenue, North, is named for, General O. O. Howard. Both generals have passed to the great beyond, General Johnson outliving General Howard by about one year. their annual reception from 5 to 8 p. m., on Monday, December 26th. A dainty menu was served. Among the visitors on Campus during the holidays were the Misses Lottie L. Anthony, of Atlanta, Ga, a graduate of the Class of 1909, and who is now a successful teacher of Atlanta, and Miss Shackleford, of Mason, Tenn., is also a graduate of Walden and is engaged in educating the young people of her race. Miss Maud J Roberts of the faculty was slightly indisposed during the past few days.
