NASHVILLE GLOBE. In the Seven Years of Its Existence. STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING MONDAY NIGHT STARTLED BY DR. R. H. BOYD, PRESIDENT—FIGURES SOUND IMPOSSIBLE TO THOSE PRESENT — MEETING ONE O FBEST EVER HELD—PRESIDENT BOYD MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS—SIX PERCENT DIVIDEND DECLARED—ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS—FEW CHANGES. At the meeting of the stockholders of the One-Cent Savings Bank Monday night, the reports of the President and Cashier, which were made to the stockholders, showed that this institution had handled with in the past seven years something over four million dollars of the people's money. The meeting was one of the best ever held in the history of the institution. More than two-thirds of the capital stock paid in was represented, and much business transacted. The recommendations as made by the President were authorized, one of which was a declaring of a six per cent dividend, the other was the creation of the position of Assistant Cashier, which when effective, will no doubt mean the promotion of the present teller, Mr. C. N. Langston. All of the old directors were reelected as were the officers. The two vacancies filled, which were caused by the death of Mr. J. B. Bosley, resulted in the election of Dr. J. A. Napier as director and the placing of Rev. Preston Taylor on the Executive Committee. The President's address in part is as follows: The stockholders elected the following as directors: Lewis Winter, J. W. Grant, T. G. Ewing, C. H. Clark, J. A. Napier, R. F. Boyd, C. N. Langston, C. S. Randals, Preston Taylor, R. H. Boyd, Wm Haynes, J. W. Bostick, J. P. Crawford, E. B. Jefferson, G. W. McKissack, Wm. Beckham, H. A. Boyd, J. C. Napier. On motion the stockholder adjourned and the Board of Directors' meeting was declared open for business. The officers elected for the year were R. H. Boyd, President; J. W. Bostick, Vice-President; J. C. Napier, Cashier; C. N. Langston, Teller. Ladies and Gentlemen: We have gathered in this room for our seventh annual meeting. For seven consecutive years I have come before you on the second Monday in January to give account of the stewardship of myself and those associated with me. On the second Monday in January, 1903, this institution threw open its doors to the public with a view of inaugurating, or launching, a Negro banking institution for the accomodation of self-respecting, Negro citizens of this city. The sixteen directors were a unit in the opinion that it was not the object of the institution to make money, but to gain confidence by showing that Negroes could associate their small earnings and savings and handle them in such a way as to accommodate the business public without losses to themselves. The president, vice president, cashier and teller feel that we have succeeded in doing this, and have each endeavored to do all to the best of our ability. Therefore we have no apologies to offer, accept simply apologize for not taking greater risks and thereby accumulating greater dividends. It might have been possible for us to have taken these risks with safety and increased your surplus and undivided profits, but there was danger of greater losses with no surplus, or even meeting the fate of some other institutions and having our doors closed. I take considerable pride in stating that our cashier and teller have handled over the counters of this little institution during the past seven years. $4,246,302.11 and that every dime of this money has been honestly accounted for. I can not say we have handled no bad paper; unfortunately, that we have very few time deposits. We, therefore, have only our paid up capital and undivided surplus to operate upon in anything like we have had in our possession some paper that has not been all we had NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1911. hoped for, but, upon a whole, we have been able to meet all running expenses, taxes, etc., and bring back to you the paid up capital stock of well-nigh one hundred cents above par. To this we feel that each stockholder will say "Well done." To give you some idea of the confidence the public has imposed in this institution, I give the following totals of money passed over the counters for each of the seven years as shown by our seven annual reports. Total..... $4,246,302.11 You will see by this that our clearings, or money handled, have gradually increased each year until 1910. In this year we dropped off about $20, 000.00, however, our deposits over our checks were greater this year than any other, hence our assets are greater. We again, as is our custom, give our deposits, checks and totals by months, showing you the business transacted each month by the bank. These figures are accurate and are the same from which the report is made under oath to the State Comptroller. Our bank has put forth no effort whatever to solicit business or to encourage the sale of stock, neither have we persuaded any persons to deposit money with us and those who do deposit, we have not insisted upon them making time deposits. If we could adopt the time deposit system, we would be in a condition to do more on time loans. We are compelled to make the most of our loans for ninety days for the reason loans. We have continued our custom of holding ourselves in readiness to meet the demands of our depositors on short notice. You will be able to see when the cashier, who is the custodian of all monies, has given you the exact daily resources and liabilities, that we hold ourselves in readiness to meet the demands of our depositors at any time they may call upon us. Our paper is such that we can readily handle it through corresponding banks and cash every dollar of depositors' money on demand. This we feel is the safest method of handling the people's money. The following are the monthly statements compiled by the Teller each month and publication is made of the exact sworn condition of the bank semi-annually. Our stockholders have three reports annually of the condition of the bank: first, from the Directors themselves at the stockholders meeting, and two sworn statements made in June and December of each year, which ought to be sufficient to give complete satisfaction to all persons who desire to deal, or transact business, with our bank: Month.

BAPTIST SUNAY-SCHOOL WORKERS WILL MEET IN EARLY PART OF JUNE-PEOPLE OF MUSIDIAN AND MISSISSIPPI DETERMINED TO OUTDO ATLANTA-SIGNS OF RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE ALREADY APPARENT — THOUSANDS OF OF SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING. Meridian, a beautiful city in Mississippi, was awarded the sixth annual session of the Sunday-School Congress of the National Baptist Convention at a meeting of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards in joint session here Tuesday. This was not done, however, without having carefully considered the invitations that came from St. Louis, Mo.; Cincinnati, O.; Binghamton, N. Y.: Atlantic City, N. J.; Chicago, Ill.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Dallas, San Antonio and Galveston, Texas. Most of the invitations were supported by letters from the Governor of the state, the Mayor of the city and pastors of the churches; for instance, St. Louis sent endorsements from the Governor of Missouri, Mayor of the city, the "Million Population" Club, Board of Trade and Hotel Men's Association. "The Congress in going to Meridian, dian," sald Chairman Clark, "will serve more than one-half of all the membership of our denomination." The dates of the meeting will be from Wednesday, June 7, to Monday, June 12, 1911. The official call for the sixth session will be sent out this week, signed by C. H. Clark, Chairman, Nashville, Tenn.; J. P. Robinson, Vice-Chairman, Little Rock, Ark.; Henry A. Boyd, Secretary, Nashville, Tenn.; R. B. Hudson, Recording Secretary, Selma, Ala., and J. M. Easterling, Assistant Secretary, Chattanooga, Tenn. The last session of the Congress was held in Atlanta, Ga. and was attended by some of the leading men of both races, such as Rev B. D. Gray, Atlanta, Ga.; Rev. M. M. Welsh, of the Southern Baptist Home Board; N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. C.; W. F. Graham, of Richmond, Va., and C. S. Morris, of New Jersey. It was a largely attended session and from what could be ascertained the meeting this year promises even greater success. Every one of the 25,000 churches and Sunday-schools of the National Baptist Convention is entitled to representation as are also the universities and colleges; educators and missionaries are eligible to membership, and are especially solicited by the promoters: to take an active interest in the meeting. It is thought that on account of the National Convention going north this year, the Congress officials and Boards were influenced to go further South. The invitation from Meridian is endorsed by every pastor in the city, the business men, the city officials, the association and the several state conventions of Mississippi. Dr. R. H. Boyd, the originator of this Sunday-school workers' movement, said that they would have the full co-operation of the Southern white Baptists in Mississippi and the other southern states, in helping in this religious work.

Mrs. Ottie O. Dodson, who has been indisposed for several days, is up and about again. NFGRO NORMAL Another school is to be located in Davidson County; Nasnville to have another big educational institution. This fact was assured when the State Educational Board this week awarded the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical School for Negroes to Davidson County. It has been a long drawn out contest in which Chattanooga, the city located by the side of Lookout Mountain, gave the capital city the closest race and hardest fight ever known; but by the persistent efforts and the herculean work of Mr. Ben Carr, the chairman of the Citizens' Organization, which grew out of the Normal and Agricultural Association, the county was awarded this institution. The decision of the board this week seems to be final, and this is more evident from the fact that the board not only located the school in this county, but went so far as to elect a principal or president for it. Just where the school will be located is a matter that will be decided latter, but it will be, so says the action of the State Board, located somewhere within the borders of this county. The bringing of this school to Middle Tennessee gives Nashville a final hold on the claim that she is the "Athens of the South." This school will prove such a help to the Negroes of Tennessee that they have not heretofore enjoyed, as it will be an industrial school, a school of textology, where the Negro youth of the state can be instructed in the mechanical arts, such as farming, dairy MR. BEN CARR, Whose untiring efforts have brought to Nashville the blessing in the form of the State School. ing, carpentering, brick-making, blacksmithing, and at the same time prepare teachers for the entire state. The available amount for the beginning of the school according to well founded information and the very recent appropriations, is over $100,000. It will be remembered that the last legislature passed a bill authorizing the establishment of four Normal schools; three of these were for whites, to be located, one in each division of the state, while the fourth one was for Negroes to be located in the central part of the state, so that it could serve all of the Negroes. By the selection of Davidson County, the Board has carried out not only the spirit, but the letter of the bill. It is said that work will begin at once on the institution and that in less than a year, the doors will be thrown open for the admission of students. An unconfirmed rumor gained circulation in the city Tuesday and Wednesday, that Prof. J. H. Hale, of Chattanooga, Tenn., one of the best known educators in the state, and the one man who led the fight for Chattanooga, had been elected as the president. A Globe reporter tried to interview Prof. Hale, who spent Monday and Tuesday in the city, to get some statement from him as to the authenticity of the rumor but failed to do so. He was non-committal. When asked about it, he simply smiled and stated that he had been in the school-room for a number of years, and that if such an honor were conferred upon him, he, no doubt, would consider it favorably. There is no doubt but that the required $80,000 has been secured, which was Nashville's requirement. $60,000 had already been given by the county, several thousand had been raised among the citizens and $20,000 pledged in other ways. It is also stated, upon good authority, that two good school sites have been donated, these when totaled up will make the largest amount of available cash to start the school that was ever realized in the state for a Negro school. The school, when it begins, will bring to Nashville hundreds of students annually No. 2 GOOD SHOWING MADE BY PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST GO. New Institution Coming to the Front. CASHIER'S REPORT MONDAY NIGH TRECEIVED WITH AP- PLAUSE-OVER HALF MILLION DOLLARS PASS THROUGH THE BANK-NEW FACES IN THE ROSTER-BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEET ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT-FEW CHANGES MADE IN OFFICIALS-DR. A. M. TOWNSEND SUCCEEDS T. G. EWING AS CASHIER. On Monday night of last week the annual meeting of the stockholders of the People's Savings Bank & Trust Company was held in the directors' room of the bank. The meeting was largely attended and every one seemed imbued with the spirit to do business and not to quibble over trivial things. Dr. R. F. Boyd, the president, made a few remarks and then called for the annual report of the cashier. Mr. T. G. Ewing said in his report; Mr. President, Gentlemen and Mem Mr. President, Gentlemen and Members of the People's Savings Bank & Trust Co. This is our second annual meeting in the existence of the Bank, it being the 18th month since the organization of the Bank; we come to you to report our official actions, and the condition of the Bank. In this report we show you the amount of stock paid in up to December 31; the amount of cash on hand; the amount of individual deposits; the amount of trust funds; the amount loaned out; the amount of expense, and the resources and liabilities at the close of business, December 31, 1910. We also show you and report the amount of cash on hand, resources at the close of our report for the same month last year and the total amount of deposits received and paid out. We received in deposits $389,168.94. We paid to depositors $367,315.67, making a grand total of $767,313.56. This presents a showing that the officers and officials of the Bank should be proud of as well as the directors and stockholders. To accomplish these results it has cost hard and conscientious labor. The bank officials are not able to take up all of the good loans that are offered them, and on this account we are unable to report to you as large a profit as we could have if we had had the money at our command to accommodate a large number of customers that we are compelled to refuse, we could have made a much better showing. It is necessary for the Cashier to keep on hand a sufficient amount of money to meet the demand of the depositors each day and in order to do that each stockholder should interest himself in the welfare of the bank. The people of the community have stood by us and have given us a reasonable share of their business. We have only one thing to complain of and that is a very grievous complaint when we consider the sacrifice all of the officers have made since the bank has been organized. We have been able to pay off every debt we owed upon the opening of the bank and all the expenses since its organization, and have a goodly balance to the credit of the bank.

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.

At last the consummation devoutly wished and in sooth the materialization of our long-cherished hopes and aspirations was a gladsome and incomparably joyous one. The calm and even tenor of Mcharry College life was most pleasurably ruffled and Nashville's "bean monde" most agreeably surprised by the inauguration of the initial ball of that elite element of Meharry Medical College known under the caption "Sigma Mu" at the Odd Fellow's Hall January 3, 1911. And the assumption may be ventured that never before was such a furore created, such an event that so stirred the social impulses of the Athens of the South. Unparalleled was the sight which greeted our vision—a sight that might have appeased the esthetic sense of a Michael Angelo or a Raphael. What a galaxy of veritable Apolips! What an unexcelled bevy of fair damselfs so transcendently radiant with the beauty of Venus, and plethoric with all her various charms and graces. In realizing our anticipatory delights, one of the cardinal objects inculcated in the general aim of the fraternity bore fruit. Truily do we concur with Bulwer Lytton that we should enjoy while we may the pleasures of life, thus the organization was established four months ago for the promotion of social as well as literary and medical interests, moral uplift, and the fostering of a spirit of altruism, and withal a spirit of frank camaraderie. The magnificent assemblage was viewed to best advantage in the grand march in honor of his excellency, our president. All of the ladies were attired in evening gowns of the most elaborately wonderful and peculiarly astounding French creations, consisting of messaline silks, brocaded velvets, black spangled nets, cloth of gold, embroidered muslins, chanchilly laces, chiffon-over-silk coiffures arranged with Oriental bands, pearl tabashons and jewel-laden Tiaras. Hon. and Mrs. A. N. Johnson kindly graced us with their presence. Mrs. Johnson in black evening gown literally blazing with diamonds and Mr. Johnson in black conventional suit. Mrs. M. D. Chids, of Birmingham, Ala., in black satin gown with ecru trimmings and pearls, acted in connection with Mrs. A. N. Johnson as our two chaperones. Full-dresses beyond a par bespoke the sartorial equipment of the male sex. Continuously did we worship at the shrine of Terpsichore to the strains of deliciously soothing music furnished by Prof D. Liner's orchestra, Nashville's leading colored dancing master. During the interim Dame Fortune smiled upon us gastronomically and a banquet was served which might have satisfied the most fastidious appetites of the gods, and which might have made those gathered around that ambrosial board on high Olympus turn green with jealousy and envy. The artistic skill of the committee was responsible for the dance hall presenting so gorgeous a spectacle. Pennants galore from all the leading colored and eastern colleges, frat insignia et ecetera were in evidence. A superabundance of autos, taxicabs, carriages provided conveyance for the jolly crowd to and from the hall. We regret unfortunately, not being able to state the name of each person that attended, but it suffices to say that the cream of Nashville's society was there. The members of the "Sigma Mu" are J. T. Phillips, President; E. C. Nelson, Vice-President; Wm. P. Saunders, Secretary; F. D. Bradford, Treasurer; R. Lloyd Sm'th, M. A. Booth, C. A. Hancock, R. W. Harrison, A. Lyn Taylor, M. M. C. King, K. H. Terry, J. W. Burney, L. M. Hill, E. A. Bailey, R. J. Brown, J. B. Darden, Walter S. E. Hardy, W. L. Hayden, R. H. Stanton, R. T. Stanton, G. W. White, T. A. Robinson, C. L. Williams, L. S. Wilson, E. F. McIntosh, L. M. Taylor. Honorary members, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. E. W. Bates, Hillsboro, Tex. Mr. A. Lynn Taylor admirably demonstrated his mastery of the Terpsichorean art in the capacity of floor-master. WALTER S. E. HARDY, Reporter. POLITICAL RIGHTS ARE NOT THE ONLY RIGHTS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. For an ignorant and poverty-stricken race of people, whom freedom suddenly falls upon without effort upon their part, to begin a campaign for the supremacy of political rights with an intelligent and wealthy people is as foolish as a general who would undertake to capture the capital of a belligerent nation before he conquered the forces between his army and the city besiegen. There are other rights worth fighting for, and many of these rights must necessarily be captured and exercised before we pitch the battle in earnest for the full enjoyment of our political rights. Among these rights might be mentioned the right to possess and enjoy a good and helpful character; the right to enjoy the respect and confidence of your neighbors; the right to own property and possess your part of the world's wealth; and the right to be industrious, thrifty and law-abiding. These characteristics must be developed and well established before we can secure any permanency in the political equation of the community where we live. Character, wealth and intelligence is the bedrock upon which you must rest your fight for your manhood rights, in spite of your conventions, resolutions and the falacies of fool Negro leaders. We have no desire to be understood as advising that the race cease to subordinate every other right for politics and the superficial, until we develop some capacity for self-government and make some visible progress along material and tangible lines. We believe the Negro ought to vote, but we do not believe that any Negro or white man should vote who is not intelligent or honest enough to use his vote for the highest good. The right to have a good character, become industrious and make an honest dollar far outranks the naked right to march to the polls and put in a vote. You may hold conventions, resolute and paw, but until charity begins at home, and you get character, money and brains, you will always be without your political rights. Political rights is the sequence that logically follows the obtainance and maintenance of these rights and equipment.—Atlanta Independent. BRIERSVILLE NOTES Miss Katie L.

C., Jan. 4.—Upholding the constitution and laws thereunder as a safeguard to the freedom of labor, the supreme court of the United States, through Justice Hughes, declares unconstitutional the "contract labor law" of Alabama. The law provides that if a laborer with intent to defraud entered into a contract to labor for another and quit before money advanced under the contract had been repaid, he should be guilty of a misdemeanor. The quitting was made by the law a prima facie presumption of intent to defraud. The supreme court to-day held that the law in operation furnished a convenient instrument for the coercion which the constitution and an act of congress forbid; and that it was "an instrument of compulsion peculiarly effective as against the poor and ignorant, its most likely victims." The provision of the constitution and laws designed to secure enduring prosperity which depended upon freedom of contract, "would soon become a barren form," said Justice Hughes, "if it were possible to establish a statutory presumption of this sort and to hold over the heads of laborers the threat of punishment for crime, under the name of fraud, but merely upon evidence of failure to work out their debts." The question of the constitutionality of the law was raised in the case of Alonzo Bailey, a Negro laborer for the Riverside company. The law made it a misdemeanor for any person to enter into a contract to labor, receive advance pay and then fail to do the work without refunding the money advanced. The breach of contract was made proof on the face of things of intent to defraud and under a rule of Alabama law the laborer was not permitted to rebut his proof by testifying to his unexpressed intention at the time of making the contract. Bailey made a contract to labor as a farm hand for one year, received $15 advanced pay, to be returned at the rate of $2.25 a month during his service, but quit work after a month and a few days. He was arrested, convicted and assessed a fine of twice the amount of the advanced pay, one-half of which was to go to his former employer and one-half to the state. When this case came to the supreme court, the department of justice was allowed to participate in the arguments "as a friend of the court," claiming that the thirteenth amendment to the constitution was violated by the law in question. The supreme court of Alabama upheld the constitutionality of the law. Justice Hughes, who announced the opinion of the court, said we court at the outset dismissed the point that Bailey was a black man, because there was nothing in the statute that disclosed a discrimination against Negroes. He said the case had been considered in the same light as if it had originated in New York or Idaho. The court held that so far as Balley was concerned, the law as it stands, was the same as if it made breach of such a contract a misdemeanor without saying anything about intent to defraud. "T" argue otherwise, was was characterized by Justice Hughes as making a distinction where there was no difference. Furthermore, it was held that a state could not reduce a person to involuntary servitude by the indirect method of considering his failure to pay a debt a crime.—The Tradesman Daily Bulletin. DR. J. T. WILSON, OF MEHARRY, THE PRINCIPAL FIGURE AT OPENING OF INFIRMARY. During the past week Dr. J. T. Wilson enjoyed the distinguished honor of being invited to attend the opening of the G. W. Atkins Infirmary, located at 1113 Kimbrough street, Memphis, Tenn. While the opening was not attended by the usual pomp and ceremony the occasion was marked by addresses and a series of operations performed by Dr. Wilson, our able surgeon. Among the interesting cases were the removal of a section of the inferior maxillary and another for the removal of an osteosarcoma, also of the jaw; these were said to be critical in every detail. Dr. Atkins is a member of the Meharry class of 1902 and a successful practitioner in the city of Memphis. At the close of the day's exercises a banquet was tendered the visiting surgeon. Dr. Wilson speaks well of the progress of the physicians of Memphis. Dr. Carter, of Oklahoma, class 1905, returned to his home recently. The doctor came to the city accompanying a patient who underwent an operation by Dr. Wilson. She has also returned to her home recovered of her malady. Dr. Carter is said to be one of the wealthiest physicians of the new state. We also note with pleasure the visit of Dr. L. H. Johnson, of Red Bird, Okla., class 1909. The doctor is said to have created a name for himself and his Alma Mater in his new sphere of operation. Dr. Lumlin, of Lebanon, Tenn., was in the city on last Sunday with a patient to be operated on by Dr. Wilson. Miss Gustava Maclin, Pharmaceutical class 1910, is now registered pharmacist in charge at Wilson's Pharmacy. Miss Maclin was a successful candidate before the Tennessee State Board in July and the Alabama Board in October. We predict success for this lady in her professional career. Mr. A. J. Thomas, the second patient operated on in the new Hubbard Hospital, was duly discharged during the past week. Dr. Thomas is a member of the sophomore class and a popular gentleman in the city. Dr. McMillan, his physician and surgeon, merits overwhelming praise for his success in bringing about such noble results. The departments of Walden University were represented on Emancipation Day, instead of Mr. T. C. Moore as appeared in the Globe last week, by the following: Pharmaceutical Department—J. A. Kennedy. Medical Department—W. A. Chapman. DR. G. E. WHITE. Physician and Surgeon and eye, ear nose and throat specialist Takes this means to inform his numerous patients that he has opened up his new surgery at the corner of Overton and Division streets for the practice of medicine and surgery; and treatment of diseases of the eye. ear nose and throat.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1911. Our Banks. In this week's issue will be found accounts of last year's business of the two banks conducted by Negroes in this city. Both of them made a good showing, and the officials and stockholders are to be congratulated for what has been accomplished. The statements, which are sworn to by the Cashiers of the banks, show that the Negroes of Nashville have entrusted to the officials of these two institutions in one year over a half million dollars, and the clearance of the two was over one and a quarter millions of dollars. This is an encouraging sign, and will go a long way toward convincing the Negroes that it is safe to do business with Negro institutions. Our banks have done well, but should have done better, and would have if all of the Negroes had done their banking business with one or the other of these banks. But instead of that being true there are scores of men of means in this city who absolutely refuse to have anything to do with these banks. They sympathize with them all right, and give their moral support, but do not seem to realize that a bank is one institution that you cannot run on morals or sympathy. It takes money, and nothing else, to make a bank go. What is true of the individuals is also true of the lodges. There are secret organizations in this city with thousands of dollars in their treasuries, but the officials will not trust Negro bankers to handle it. They do not realize their mistake, but we believe they will, in a day not so very remote, awaken to their error, and when they do our banks will each do a clearance of over a million dollars a year, and will give employment to scores of young men and women, and put the race on a sound financial footing. Our State Normal. From all appearances it seems that Davidson County will get the Normal school, and Hamilton County will get for her heroic efforts the presidency. This is about the best compromise that could be affected, and we believe the citizens of Hamilton County, after carefully considering the matter, will be satisfied with the action of the State Board. --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1911 The fight between these two counties developed to be the fiercest of any for a Normal school, and at times it did look blue for Davidson, but those two indomitable giants and farsighted men, Governor Patterson and Mayor Howse, took the bull by the horns and brought victory out of defeat. Mr. Ben Carr must not be overlooked in this matter, for while the Governor and Mayor stand out conspicuously in the fight, Mr Carr has worked harder for the location of this school than any man in the state, and it was his persistent effort that impelled those in authority to act. Now we have narrowed the sphere of operation down to this county, but the bucket of rich milk is yet on a clod and if care is not taken it will be kicked over. There will be an army of real estate men with land to sell the state for a site for the school. Every man will have the very best site, and will of course, offer the best inducements, and those whose duty it will be to select this site will have to be as "wise as serpents," and at the same time as "harmless as doves." The school must be located in the right place. Not too close to the city nor too far away, but in a locality easy of access, and on soil with good productive qualities. We want our Normal to be the very best in the South. Labor Contract Laws. The labor contract laws of two southern states received hard jolts last week. In the Alabama case the Supreme Court held the law to be unconstitutional, and in the case of a wealthy lumber dealer in Florida the president refused to exercise clemency because he feared to do so before the accused had been committed to prison would open the way for an acquittal through a technicality. In one of these cases, that of Alabama, a Negro was the defendant, and in the other, the Florida case, the defendants were Italians who had been transported from New York to work in a large lumber camp, but in both cases the decisions were rendered on the ground of human rights. There is one thing, however, that Negroes should not lose sight of, which is two wrongs will not make one right. The labor contract law of Alabama was a most infamous instrument, but back of it was an evil almost as infamous, that of breaking contracts. Now that the Supreme Court has come to the rescue of the unfortunate man, who is not mindful of the wrong he commits when he fails to keep his word or to live up to an agreement, the well-informed Negroes owe it to the uninformed to do all in their power to teach them the seriousness of an obligation. The cooperation of the white men should be solicited in this work, and let all strive to have peace and contentment in this our Southland. New York Negroes would do well to learn a lesson by their experiences with the defunct banks in their city. If they had a bank of their own they could at least have the satisfaction of knowing who was cashier. Our local business leagues are still making themselves conspicuous by their silence. Young men, to the fore! the occasion demands that you wake up. The people of North Carolina are willing to help "The True Reformers" in their struggle, but demand that the business be conducted on a sound basis. Amen! amen! Sam Langford did Joe Jeanette up in good style. Now, Mistah Johnson, it is time to sidestep. This may be Summer but it will be wise to keep some coal in the bin. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS As the Advocate goes to press the sad intelligence comes from the Capital of the Nation that Senator Elkins' sands of life are ebbing slowly and soon his soul will return to the God that gave it. The people of West Virginia have been steeling themselves against just such a blow since conflicting reports of his condition followed so fast one upon another. They have learned that when attempts were made to conceal the true state of the health of personages in high places, there is imminent danger. West Virginia could ill afford to lose its senior Senator. A man of exceptional ability, the peer of any of his colleagues, he made for himself and the State a place in the councils of the Nation which will not be easily filled. The time is too short, the space too limited to make a proper estimate at this time of the man and his work. Let it suffice now to say that The Advocate mourns with the stricken family and the State bereaved of its greatest representative.—The Advocate. THE LEWIS APPOINTMENT THE LEWIS APPOINTMENT. Some days previous to the election a notice was sent out from the White House to the effect that within a reasonable time Honorable William H. Lewis would be appointed to the position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. The Age has no doubt that Mr. Taft means to keep his word in regard to the appointment. We say this notwithstanding the contradictory reports sent out from Washington. Mr. Taft is not a man to play politics in such a matter and we believe that those who have been expressing doubts as to his sincerity in the appointment of Mr. Lewis will find themselves greatly mistaken. For our part, we are going to trust the President.—New York Age. The statement is often heard, because of some enterprise that is not conducted legitimately, and because the people find it out, "That hurts the whole race." How true this is we all know. Each member of our race is responsible for the conditions that exist, therein. Any man knowingly receiving anything that is stolen, the law says that he is an accomplice to the act. Any man allowing a bad condition to exist in his community and knowing that such exists, is, in nearly every case, in sympathy with same, and as bad as the offender. The members of our race have got to quit closing their eyes to the things that exist among some of our people that are hindering our progress. If you who are leaders of the people are not acquainted with the questions and enterprises relating to and conducted by our people, you are simply in the way. If you do know these things and allow anything to exist that is a bad example to the coming ageneration, you are the same as the one or the ones who sympathizes with the criminal. We should not cover up any wrong doing, regardless of what it is, and as there is only one way to do anything, and that being the right way, we should see that it is done this way, and then our people will cease to be branded with the slurs from the race, as frauds and possessors of dishonest means. Do your part and you will succeed.—The East Tennessee News. MOTION PICTURE EXHIBITION, FISK UNIVERSITY. On the 20th of this month there will be given at Fisk Memorial Chapel, Fisk University, under the auspices of the Fisk Debating Club, a motion picture exhibition. This club, on account of the heavy expenses incurred in sending four of its representatives to engage in a forensic strife with the debating club of Howard University, Washington, D. C., last spring, fell in debt. For the past three months various plans for liquidating this debt were devised, but all things considered, in the final analysis they all, except one, seemed to possess some feature of the spirit of "getting from and not giving to the public." This one exception the club presents, feeling self-satisfied that the treat will be more than commensurate with the price paid to enjoy it. On the other hand, such an exhibition will mean the establishment of a precedent at the university. Not only does the club promise to give the public an evening fraught with fun and side-splitting jokes, but in the course of the programme there will be exhibited historic and dramatic scenes which will be most instructive. The subjects to be dealt with will be strictly first-class and of such a varied nature as to interest not merely the young and "sweet sixteens", but also the old and those blessed with the most fastidious tastes. Any who have read the account of "Roosevelt Reviewing Cowboys at Cheyenne," "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the latest comics can justly sanction the promise of an evening spent in luxurious delight. In connection will also be rendered the latest illustrated songs, such as "Garden of Roses," "You are the ideal of my dreams," and it is sufficient to say that these will speak for themselves, discoursed as they will be by Mr. Chas. Wesley, President Fisk Debating Club. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE AT ST. JOHN A. M. F. CHURCH. The first quarterly conference of St. John A. M. E. Church was brought to a close Wednesday night after a most successful meeting. The conference opened Sunday morning with the Sunday-school. The session was held in the basement which has been remodeled recently. Several prominent visitors addressed the Sunday-school. Among them were Dr. W. M. Beckham, Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention; Bishop Evans Tyree and Presiding Elder G. L. Jackson. Bishop Tyree preached at eleven o'clock to a large audience. He took as a subject "Gifts." The sermon was a masterful effort, and the speaker pointed out many of the gifts that come to man from the Supreme Ruler of the universe. There was scarcely a dry eye in the house when the bishop took his seat. On Wednesday night the business of the conference was transacted. The lady boards reported a total collection of $53 and the total collected during the quarterly conference was $86.20. Dr. Jackson, the presiding elder, expressed himself as highly pleased with the showing made by the church in the conference and with the spirit exhibited. Rev. A. Brooks, of Columbia, was present and addressed the meeting. Mr. M. C. Buford, of Pulaski, member of Heywood A. M. E. Church, and Rev. J. D. Rainey, of Hartsville, pastor of St. Matthew's Baptist Church, were present and were introduced to the conference. AFRICAN METHODISTS BUY NEW CHURCH Dr. W. A. Lewis and Dr. J. C. Caldwell, secretaries of the Preacher's Aid Association and the Allen Christian Endeavor Departments, respectively, of their church, this week purchased the Christian Church (white) on Scovel street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth avenues. The building is a frame structure of modern type, seated with opera chairs and lighted with electric lights. The opening service will be held Sunday, January 23. Bisnop Parks, the bishop of the district has been invited to preach the opening sermon, but in case he cannot be present Bishop Evans Tyree, the resident bishop of the African Methodist connection, will preach at eleven o'clock. This church is located in a community almost exclusively of colored people and is destined to become a very popular meeting place. WHITE AND NEGRO TRAVEL. Court Holds Railroads Cannot Be Required to Make Separate Provision Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 11.—That railroads cannot be required to provide separate compartments in sleeping cars for white and Negro passengers was the decision of the court of appeals to-day in the case of the commonwealth of Kentucky against the Illinois Central railroad. The court held that inasmuch as the sleeping cars are not owned and controlled by the railroads that railroads cannot be held responsible for the methods of operating them. COLORED INDUSTRIAL AND RE FORM SCHOOL Among the first batch of bills which came from members of the House of Representatives this morning was one from Davidson County, introduced by the entire Davidson delegation, and which is of great interest. The measure appropriates $15,000 out of the Treasury of the State with which to establish in Davidson County an industrial school and reformatory for colored children under 18 years of age. The institution is to be under the control of a board of trustees, of which the Governor shall be ex-officio a member. Any offender under 18 who has been sentenced to the penitentiary may be transferred to the reformatory from the state prison at the expense of the state. Incorrigibles at the school may be transferred back to the penitentiary, there to serve out the rest of their former prison sentence. An interesting feature is the right to bind out to responsible and worthy people inmates of the reformatory for a period of service. The superintendent of the institution is to get a salary not to exceed $1,200 a year. TRUSTEE SALE By virtue of the authority vested in me as trustee and owner by deed of trust executed by William Perkins, an unmarried man, dated 26th day of April, 1909, and registered in No. 335, Page 601, of the Register's office of Davidson County, Tennessee, default having been made in payment of the sums therein mentioned according to the terms of said mortgage, I will on Saturday, February 4, 1911, at 12 m., in front of the south door of the Court House, in Nashville, Tennessee, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, free from the equity of redemption, home-stead and all other exemptions of every kind, the following described real estate in Davidson County, Tennessee, to wit: Being house and lot No. 6 of the sub-division of blocks No. 11 and 15 of the Plan of Clifton and more fully described thus: - Beginning at a point on the east margin of Clifton avenue two hun- urcd and fifty-one (251) feet South from the southeast corner of said Clifton avenue and Hill avenue; running thence eastwardly one hundred and fifty (150) feet to an alley; thence eastwardly along the west margin of said alley fifty feet to the north line of the lot heretofore conveyed by the Nashville Realty Company to John DeGraftnreid and wife; thence along DeGraftnreid's north line one hundred and fifty feet to east margin of Clifton avenue, fifty feet to the point of beginning.

Burton, the noted soprano singer of Chicago, who appeared in a recital at Meharry Auditorium last week, sang at St. Paul A. M. E. Church last Sunday morning. GOOD SHOWING. (Continued from Page 1.) one of us should take on new zeal and begin to look after the bank and make it our business to speak a good word for the bank and its officials. It is your duty to hold up the arms of our president, our chairman of the Executive Committee, our teller and the cashier in their untiring efforts to make the bank a success. Gentlemen, my whole wish and desire is to make the bank succeed, for this reason I have laid aside almost all my other work and devoted my time to the success of this bank. I am aware that some have thought that I could have put in much less time than I have and devoted more time to my own personal affairs. If I should have done so, probably I could not have done so well. It has been a rule of my life when I undertake to serve any one, to serve them to my best ability, and while in their employ I forget self-interest altogether and devote my strength and energy to the accomplishment of the work put into my hands to be done. In this case I have done my best to succeed. If I have succeeded it has been by the aid of my friends who have associated themselves with me.

Townsend winning over the incumbent, Attorney T. G. Ewing. After the election little business was transacted, the time being taken up mostly in discussions and exchange of congratulatory remarks. a sen = ( TPANeaeee s aes BE : ee ie Miladi’s Note Book. 1 On Satumay, January 7, at the res | idence of Mr. and Mrs. Allison, 2015 Jefferson street, was given a six o'clock dinner in honor of the birth: day of Dr. W.

Following a picked quartette selec- tion, the club was favored with an onslaught of eloquence from an ad- dress of Mr Leach, “Christmas, Christ and Chribtianity.” The es- sence obtained from this address could not be equaled even by the an- cient philosophers. Again a quartette seloction was heard and a reading from Shake- peare’s Hamlet, Act I, Scenes IV and V; characters: Hamlet—H. Jordaa Stockard; Horatio—E. P.

I regard this a new epoch while the eulogizer of the life of John Ruskin once said, “It is nov given to every man to date an epoch from himself, to turn aside old conceptions and sway the whole current of thought into a new channel, for epoch makings are few in any race and even they themselves seldom realize the value of the work they are doing and the pub- le recognizes it perhaps last of all, each one of them as he appears under- goes the usual misunderstanding at the hands of oth friends and foes and as a result of this misunderstanding there are assertions anda denials, at- tacks and adulations and abuse until at last it has passed into a proverb. 1 am further convinced that a man cannot be summed up justly by @ con- temporary thought and for that rea- son many discords of an unpleasant nature which if continued must event- ually engulf every hope of good. No one in the twentieth century has suffered more from misunderstanding and indiscriminate criticisms than I have, but I assure you that this token of your appreciation of me as @ pre siding officer, which was so wnani- mously expressed in the election of me to the presiding officership — of your body, with Dr. Haynes as my very able assistant, at this particular time is a sufficient remuneration for any criticism which I nave had to suffer; that I have been contentious about matters which I believe would if allowed to go unattacked hinder the peace and harmony which is so much needed in the prosecution of the work for which the conference should stand, is a fact too prominent and is perhaps the cause of the past criticisms, but 1 thank God my heart is turned towards every man for good whether he be the perpetrator or an aider or abettor and I have not the slightest ill feeling toward any one and I hope all feel the same way toward me. I have but one ob- ject in view for the prosecution of the work of the conference for this ‘| year, that is the glory of God and the salvation of men. This I believe can be best promoted by a unfted ministry in a conference where we can relate to each other our expertences In the fields of labor where the Holy Ghost has assigned us. That the Negro peo- ple of Nashville are dependent upon the Negro ministry for proper guid: }ance in economic and the civic things of life as well as the spiritual things is an assured fact, and the sooner ‘Jall the ministers realize these facts |the more ready they will be to as ‘|sociate themselves with the most javailable means of increasing their ‘leepacity for the arduous duty. The |God-called ministry is in a class ‘| peculiarly their own. It {s above 'jand beyona any and every position ocoupied by man. Many a learned mind tries to reduce it to a mere pro: ‘|fession but such a consideration of the position of the minister is a reflection upon its author as well as its office, for no man taketh this honor to himself. City churches unlike the ene churches are greatly hindered in fit- ting the people for the proper walks of life by evils of both civic and social misconceptions of sin. These vary in import proportionately with the in- telligence and the secular aspirations. ~ ‘The pastor who undertakes the task of throttling these gigantic forces without the aid of his fellow-minister is greatly in need of the apostolic spirit, and there is the greatest dan- ger nowadays among many of us of losing sight of the lifegivmg power in preaching God’s word by being over anxious to become popular and to be called great preachers, the world’s preachers, and to have his audience leave the cnurch ° talking ‘about the great sermon clothed with oratorical flights and _ sandwiched with concatenations. But at the same time no one sees him or herself a lost soul and doomed to hell and damnation— the very things the Gospel of Jesus Christ js intended to make lost souls gee. It required a yision cf Cornelius the Gentile con- vert to sever the selfish notions of Peter before he could say, “I per ceive that God is no respector of per= sons; but he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness 1s accepted with Him.” The necessity of Pever being brought before the brethren to give an account of his going to Cor nellus’ house fittingly ihustrates the need of a ministers’ conference for the spiritual and mutual helpfulness of the Gospel as preached by us. Schiller, an ethnological writer, said “That man is an imitative crea- ture and whoever is foremost leads the herd.” It is further asserted, “It is by imitation far more than by pre- cept that we learn everything and what we do learn thus we acquire not only affectively but more pleasantly; this forms our manners, our opinions and our lives.” The ministry of to day will not receive its due recogni- tiou simply by being a good procleim- er of the Gospel truths but by addi- tioual evidence of their ability to wise- ly nandle the believer of these truths, so if we would enjoy the fullest con- fidence of all we must avail ourselves of every opportunity to prepare to meet public assemblies In an intelli- gent and forceful manner. The knowledge of executing the disciplin- ary duties.of our churches is as im- portant in its place as the knowl edge of proclaiming the gospel in its place, and since many of us for the want of means as well as time have not this knowledge, there 1s no place where we can be more helpful to eacn other in obtaining this knowl edge than in a conference, where brother to brother can be helpful and jas men of supposed _ intelligence who occupy places of needed intelli- gence, duty binds us to thus assemble where only ministres who know the need of better improvements to help each other for the work’s sake, gather. |We have in Nashville according to the ‘|1ast census report an oncoming army a j Si oy MY eB, ‘ : Be = Pei sii n> Meerne \j ‘ ul vi Jae eS a REV.

His grandmother was so stricken with sorrow and grief that a physician was summoned, but she is up walking around at this writing. SOMERVILLE NOTES. Rev. J. S.

Langford had a decisive lead in every round but one and in the first round dropped Jeannette for a count of eight. Throughout the fight, with the exception of the third round, Langford outpointed his opponent. He used right and left swings to the Jeannette's face and straight jabs to the body almost exclusively, but he was unable to land a knockout blow. In the opening round Jeannette drew first blood, and angered by the blow, Langford landed a left hook to the neck which dropped Jeannette for a count of eight. JOCKEY AUSTIN ELECTROCUTED Ossing, N.

BOUT BETWEEN KAUFMAN AND JOHNSON PLANNED. Chicago, Jan. 11—H. H. Frazee, a local promoter, and Jack Gleason, who aided in arranging the Jeffries-Johnson fight, offered a purse of $50,000 for a twenty-round fight between Johnson and Al Kaufman, the San Francisco heavyweight, to be fought in the new stadium in London coronation week. Kaufman has accepted the offer and the promoters expect to receive an answer from Johnson-to-morrow. When a tentative offer was made Johnson here a month ago for a fight with Kaufman the Negro champion declared he would fight Kaufman any time a suitable purse was arranged. Boutee spoke on "Things Worthy of Emphasis." In the course of his talk which was crowded with deep and rich thoughts, he pointed out and proved the fact that our race lost in one generation of servitude what will take many generations of civilization to remove, viz., spiritual freedom. The whole tendency of slavery was to force the Negro to believe he was inferior spiritually. As a student of the university Mr. Boutte was much admired by the faculty and student body for his manly qualities. COLUMBIA NOTES.

The ladies were attired in afternoon gowns of exquisite taste. The register was kept by Miss Octavia L. Coffey.

Perkins, Misses S. J. Scott, C. B. Boynton, Mary E. Braden, Octavia L. Coffey, Lillian and Fannie Banks, Anita B. Scott, Winona B. Mason, Cincinnati; Ethel M. Thomas, Chicago; Mary C.

The scholastic population of the state, which includes all between the ages of six and twenty-one years, as shown in the latest published report, is 771.734. Of this number 177,004 are reported as being unable to read and write, 118,185 white and 58,819 colored; or, stated in another form, 20 per cent. of the white scholastic population of the state is illiterate, and 32 per cent. of the colored population. With the reduction that can justly be claimed because of those who are enumerated as illiterate and who have just reached school age, the per cent. remaining is still too large, for there should be no illiteracy among our people who are eight years of age or above. Of the scholastic population 259,576 were not enrolled in the public schools. Of this large number 175,178 were white children and 84,398 were colored. This was nearly 30 per cent. of the white scholastic population and more than 45 per cent. of the colored population. This poor showing is somewhat improved when we add to the enrollment those who are pupils in private schools—some 30,000—and exclude from the total population those who at any time have completed the school courses and all those who are over 18 years of age, many of whom are in other schools or are at work, and who should not be included in the school census. For the same year only 48 per cent. of the white scholastic population was in actual daily attendance, and 37 per cent. of the colored population. The average daily attendance for both white and colored was only 68 per cent. of the total enrollment. That many children who are enrolled do not stay in school is further shown by the report that only 7 per cent. are found in all grades above sixth, less than 6 per cent. of the total enrollment are in the sixth grade, and only about 12 per cent. are in the fifth grade; or, stated in another way, only 25 per cent. of the total enrollment or 17 per cent. of the total scholastic population are enrolled in grades above the fourth in the public schools of the state. These conditions of enrollment and attendance are entitled to serious consideration and to the most earnest efforts to improve them. It is true that gains are being made year by year, but the gains are so inconsiderable that a century's growth would not cure the ills of which complaint is made or reduce illiteracy in Tennessee to a respectable percentage. Funds are useless, teachers are luxuries, courses of study are theories and school-houses are ornaments unless they all contribute to the development of childhood into efficient and productive manhood and womanhood. The intelligence of the state must demand that all the children shall receive and enjoy all the opportunities that are given by the training of the schools. The possible good that may be accomplished through our really excellent and growing school system cannot be more than partially realized until the educational rights of childhood are guaranteed by legislation. If it is worthy of praise that humane societies protect from useless pain and brutal punishment the helpless animals, it is surely worthy of equal praise that the state shall protect its citizenship from the pain of ignorance and the punishment of illiteracy. To this end the compulsory attendance laws now in force in modified forms in a number of the counties of the state should be strengthened in their requirements and be made to extend their protection to every child in the state. ENTERTAINS. Miss E. B. Brown entertained at her home, 608 Peabody street, Monday night, January 9, 1911, in honor of Miss Fannie Bell McFarris. Games and dancing were the pleasure of the evening. Music was furnished by Mr. H. Locke, after which a four-course menu was served. Those who enjoyed Miss Brown's hospitality were Miss Fannie B. McFarris, Mr. B. F. Brown, Miss Mary Smith, Mr. Eugene Smartt, Miss Ella Littlefield, Mr. G. W. Brown, Mr. David Brown, Miss Katie Jones, Mr. Robert Lillard, Miss Nannie Alfred, Miss Hallie J. Woodley, Miss Retha Morford, Mr. Vince Smartt, Mrs. Annie Woodard, Dr. Williams, of Guthrie, Okla., and Mr. Terry Paine. Y. L. L. C. 'The Young Ladies' Literary Club met with Miss Mary E. Carter, of 1406 1-2 Jackson street, on last Wednesday at 3 o'clock. The main feature of the evening was the installation of the officers, which was done by Mr. E. L. Kinzer, the president of the Y. M. L. C. $4,000,000. As yet we have no foreign correspondence, either in New York, or abroad. We have felt that it would be safer to keep our correspondence near at home, as the Nashville banks are fully sufficient for the present to meet all of our emergencies. We fully believe that the time is ripe for the present stockholders to increase their stock and to encourage their friends to take stock. It would give us larger working capital and thereby increase our surplus. I again repeat this year as I said last that we dispose of our unused stock, or take it off market. It would be an easy matter for some person who desires to speculate to buy up a larger portion of our stock and thereby control the Board of Directors. As yet we have not invested in any real estate. We have some real estate mortgages and they are proving to be our best investments. There are almost daily applications made to us to redeem partially paid real estate transactions, which we could do with profit to the stockholders if we had a sufficient capital stock upon which to work. But, we are of the opinion that it would not be safe to make such investments with depositors' money that is on deposit subject to check. Of course, if we had time deposits we could invest this money for the same length of time that it was deposited with us, otherwise, we must depend upon short loans, personal securities, etc., for our field of operation. I believe that the time is drawing nigh when we should have better vaults, not so much for burglar protections, as we provide this in other ways, but books and valuable papers are accumulating on our hands and we should have some place to better protect these against fire, and one of the best ways to do this is to prepare a fire-proof vault. This could be used in more ways than one. I believe the time will come, if it is not already here, when the people will begin to use such a vault by renting boxes to safeguard their jewelry, valuable papers, etc., if they could have the assurance that such valuables were fully protected from both fire and burglars. I also believe that some preparation should be made by the Directors for insurance against losses, failures, etc. This, I think can be done at a small cost. There is, of course, no apparent danger, but it is an old maxim worthy of notice, "Prepare for war in time of peace," hence I believe that our Board of Directors should be authorized to safeguard our institution in every manner. Recommendations. I would recommend, for many reasons, a change in our By-laws in such a way as to discontinue the office of Teller for the time being and substitute in his place the office of Assistant Cashier. Our Cashier is a man of affairs and is often called to be out of his office for days, even weeks, at a time and there is no one legally authorized to use his signature. But, if we had the office of Assistant Cashier with the Cashier's bond covering his office, he could continue to execute business in the absence of the Cashier with the same safety and legality as if the Cashier were present. The All Wise Head has seen fit to take from among us one or our most valuable Directors in the person of the late Mr. J. B. Bosley, who has served both as director and a member of the Executive Committee from the organization of this bank until he was called from labor to reward. We regret his loss and enter into deep sympathy with his family. I believe that the Cashier will be able to report to you that we are again able to declare a six per cent. dividend, as in the past years. I believe that this should be paid in cash, allowing the stockholders to be judges as to whether they would invest this in stock, or draw it in cash. This method of declaring an annual dividend of six per cent, makes the stockholder's investment as profitable as if his money were loaned, and at the same time gives each stockholder a share in the surplus and undivided profits. I find that the majority of the banks have copied our plan and it is now a common affair to see dividend checks from almost every Negro bank in the country, sent out to their stockholders. A majority, however, of the stockholders are so well pleased with this plan that they almost invariably return the dividend check with a sufficient amount to increase their stock. Renters Listen. DO you expect to be a slave for landlords all your life, or do you expect to own your home IT IS JUST AS EASY.
