NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. GOV. HOOPER TAKES THE REINS OF GOVERNMENT IN HIS HANDS. Inauguratio Held in Ryman Auditorium. GREAT CROWD WITNESS THE CEREMONY — SIMPLE BUT IMPRESSIVE—GOV. M. R. PATTERSON DELIVERS HIS RETIRING SPEECH—BIDS GODSPEED TO HIS SUCCESSOR — REITERATES BELIEF IN HIS POLICIES—HAS NOT LOST FAITH IN TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY—URGES ALL TO SUPPORT GOV. HOOPER. Hon. Ben. W. Hooper, of Newport, Cocke County, was to-day inaugurated Governor of Tennessee. He took the oath of office in the Ryman Auditorium as successor to Hon. Malcolm R. Patterson, of Memphis, who conclude his second term to-day. The inaugural ceremonies were simple, but impressive, and were held in the presence of a distinguished assembly, representing the highest official life, the culture, the beauty, the best citizenship of the Volunteer State. For the first time in Twenty-eight years Tennessee has a Republican in the Chief Executive's chair. Hon. Alvin Hawkins of Carroll County was the last Republican elected Governor of the state. He served from 1881 to 1883. The present Republican Governor, was like Gov. Hawkins, elected as a result of division in the Democratic ranks. In retiring from office Gov. M. R. Patterson reiterated his belief in the policies for which he has stood and wished for the incoming administration the highest and best public service possible. The address was brief and delivered in Gov. Patterson's usual forceful manner. He said: "Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, Ladies and Gentlemen: For the third time since the civil war, and the first in more than a quarter of a century, the office of Chief Magistrate of this commonwealth passed from Democratic to Republican control. "Neither the time nor the occasion is seasonable to discuss the causes which have brought about this change and the new direction in our affairs which it involves, but all of us who are right-minded Americans and patriotic Tennesseeans, for whom the public good has a direct appeal and real meaning, will wish the new administration the highest and best public service it may be able to give our people. For four years beset with difficulties of which I have been keenly and painfully conscious, at a time when passion was aflame and reason often obscured, I have tried to perform duties which could have been better done, had it been my lot to have served the state in an ordinary and calmer period, and my public acts whether for good or ill are now a part of the history of Tennessee. Stood by His Policies. "I stood for them then, I stand for them now, and will in the time to come. As the hour arrives in my life when I can no longer be charged by the censorious with motives which have never actuated me a moment in my career, I may say to the people whose peace, welfare and liberties I sought to preserve, that if I had to live over again the stirring scenes through which we have passed, it would be to assert again those policies which I believed were not only best but natural and inherent in our scheme of government, and to resist again, with all my power, those which have encroached upon the rights of the citizen, and brought so much of bitterness and strife without any recompense whatsoever. My idea of the relation of government to the people was so clear to my mind that it was difficult to understand why it was not accepted by all, for it is the universal experience of mankind that previous and intolerable wrongs have always followed coercive restrictive laws which run counter to the popular will, and this truth will soon stand revealed to those who have been misled, just as distorted shapes and the illusions of the senses vanish when objects appear in true proportion before the unobstructed vision. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1914 "I have not been compelled to wait for either change or time to have the approval of the large majority of my own party, and as I believe the majority of all the people of the state. Not Chagrined. "In retiring from the office of Governor I do not go as one condemned by public opinion or depressed by chagrin and disappointment, but confident of the future, erect in my own esteem, knowing that I have harmed no man and helped many—believing in all that I stood and suffered for, grateful for the high honors I have received, proud of a state which has gloriously illumined the pages of our history, proud of a people whose hardy and elemental virtues were sufficient unaided to carve a commonwealth and plant a new star in the flag, and which will be sufficient to rise superior to every adverse wind that blows, when they learn the lesson sometimes forgotten, that education, toleration and that high thinking which attends these handmaidens of liberty and civilization, and these alone will be their redemption from error, the faithful guarantees of their happiness and prosperity. Grateful to Followers. "To the friends who have thought as I have thought, felt as I have felt, followed my fortunes with rare devotion, who stood close in the days of peace and closer still when the storm gathered and the shadows were falling, I offer with every pulsation of my heart and every fiber of my being the confidence, fealty and love they have so generously bestowed upon me. "To my successor I trust that I am free from any petty desire to annoy or harrass him in the performance of his public duties, and when he takes the oath, which will make him the Governor of Tennessee, I congratulate him upon his high honor and bid him Godspeed in every laudible effort to help our people and uphold the constitution and the laws." MYSTERIOUS PERSON SOLICITING BANK DEPOSITS. An incident that attracted unusual attention this week, and caused the officials of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company no little worry was the circulation of a report that some one was going around with one of their pass books soliciting deposits for the bank. Dr. A. M. Townsend when seen by a Globe representative said he had not been able to apprehend such an individual, and while he hoped the report was a mere rumor, he was having a thorough investigation made, and if it should develop to be a fact that any one was guilty of such an offense he would see to it that the full extent of the law be meted out to them. He said the bank did not employ nor authorize any one to receive deposits outside of the bank wicket. Such a think as collecting bank deposits from people in their homes is unheard of, and is contrary to all banking rules, and it is hard to conceive how any one could commit such an act, but the officials of the bank are leaving no stone unturned to find out the origin of the rumor, and if it proves to be true the guilty party or parties will be run to cover. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. W. J. HALE President of New Normal School. Prof. W. J. Hale, who has the honor of being the first president of the new State Normal School, was in the city Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, closing up all plans relative to taking active hold on the normal work. It is said his work begins immediately. Prof. Hale spent much of his time at the State Capitol, where the Board of Education was in session. MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The Missionary Society of Howard Congregational Church will meet with Mrs. I. S. Moore, January 31. M. THE LATE BISHOP ABRAM GRANT. NEXT ALLIANCE WILL BE LECTURED TO BY DR. F. A. STEWART Meeting, Friday Afternoon, February 3rd. WILL BE HELD IN KNOWLES SCHOL BUILDING — PARENTS AWAKING TO THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN. At the next meeting of the Knowles School Alliance, which will be held in the Knowles School building Friday afternoon, Feb. 3, F. A. Stewart will lecture on "Contagious Diseases Among Children." The officials of the Alliance desire to see all the parents at this meeting. The nour set is two o'clock which makes it convenient for the parents to attend. This Alliance, under the leadership of Mrs. S. P. Harris, president, and Mrs. T. Clay Moore, secretary, is doing a good work in the interest of the school children, and it is believed that when the officials fully realize the conditions under which the children have to labor in this old building better provision will be made. It is conceded by all that the day of frame school houses in a city like Nashville is past, and the city has allowed this old delapidated building to remain as an eye-sore to passersby and a menace to the health and safety of the hundreds of children who attend there. The Alliance work is spreading to all parts of the city. The parents are taking an active interest in the conditions of the school houses, and are showing a disposition to lend their aid in every way possible to make it comfortable and safe for their children while in school. The Negro citizens of Nashville are awakening to the needs of the children, and they are cognizant of the fact that the teacher cannot be expected to do more than the rules prescribe for them to do. The work these alliances are setting out to accomplish is not within the pale of teaching but is a work of the people. The superintendent and Board of Education welcome this co-operation on the part of the parents, for they realize that the school work demands every aid that can be secured. Every phase of the work will be covered in the campaign. The sewerage, drinking facilities and the color of the interior of the school buildings (Continued on Page 4.) BISHOP GRANT PASSES AWAY. On last Sunday morning Bishop Abram Grant, D. D., of Kansas City, Kans., closed his eyes in endless sleep after an illness covering several months. One week previous his wife died, and his friends had been expecting the end ever since. It was apparent that Bishop Grant was sinking continually. He was also aware of his condition and said to his friends that his days of usefulness were over and why should he not die. There was no man in this country more beloved by his people and more highly respected by all the people. Bishop Grant was always at work, doing his best to uplift his people. At the time of his death he was bishop of the western states. Bishop Abram Grant was born a slave in Lake City, Fla., August 25, 1848, and was sold at Columbus, Ga., for $6,000 Confederate money. At the close of the war he returned to Florida and was a clerk in a grocery store of his former owner, and a steward in hotels. He was able to spend a few hours each day in a missionary school and later attended a night school at Cookman Institute. He was converted in 1868 at a camp meeting in Lake City, joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and was licensed to preach in 1873. He was ordained elder in 1876. While in Jacksonville he was inspector of customs and was appointed by Governor Stearns as county commissioner of Duval County. He was transferred to Texas in 1878, and was a pastor at San Antonio and Austin and later was presiding elder. In 1888 he was elected bishop. Bishop Grant was greatly interested in the cause of Christian education. He served on the trustee boards of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla.; Allen University, Coulmbia, S.C.; was president of the boards of Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas; Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga.; Wilberforce University, Wilberfore, Ohio, and Western University, Quindaro, Kans. He was twelve years president of the Church Extension Board of his church, four years president of the Publication Board and seven years president of the Financial Board, being the first member of his church to be elected to that position for the second consecutive term. Bishop Grant was a member of the Ecumenical Conference in Washington in 1891. He made two trips to Europe and on one occasion presided over the Conferences of the West Coast of Africa. He was a member of the Ecumenical Missionary Conference in New York, 1900, and at his death was a member of the board of Anna T. Jeannes Foundation Fund of $1,000,000 for the education of colored youths of the rural districts of the southern states. Funeral services were held in Kansas City Wednesday, interment will be made in San Antonio, Texas, Sunday, January 29th.

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Jan. 21.—The Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League held its mid-winter session at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, January 10th, 11th and 12th. The members of the Committee are: Hon. J. C. Napier, Chairman, Nashville, Tenn.; J. E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark.; S. E. Courtney, M. D., Boston, Mass.; S. A. Furniss, M. D., Indianapolis, Ind.; W. L. Taylor, Richmond, Va.; F. D. Patterson, Greenfield, O.; W. T. Andrews, Sumter, S. C.; J. B. Bell, Houston, Tex.; J. C.

Washington, President Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Chas. Banks, First Vice-President, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute Ala.; Gilbert C. Harris, Treasurer, Boston, Mass. During the three day sessions many important matters dealing with the strengthening of the national organization were considered. Among other things, it was decided to hold the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, at Little Rock, Ark. August 16th, 17th and 18th, 1911. Messrs. Scipio A. Jones, President of the Arkansas State Negro Business League, and William Alexander, of the Local Negro Business League, of Little Rock, met with the Committee in the discussion of plans for the entertainment of the delegates. The Little Rock committees are already at work, and have matters well in hand for the approaching meeting. Probably the most important matter and of general interest to the public, discussed was the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people of the United States. At Louisville in 1909, a resolution was passed by the National Negro Business League providing for the holding of a National Exposition to commemorate this event. It will be recalled that at the instance of ficers of the National Negro Business League, bills were last year introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives of the National Congress, providing for the appointment of a commission to devise ways and means for holding such exposition. These bills were not passed at the last session of the Congress, because they were MR. C. N. LANGSTON, Assist.

St. Thomas Episcopal Mission was organized by Rev. Joseph E. Martin in July, 1894. During September of that year a layman was put in charge of the work, holding the first service in the tower room of St. Luke Church. On St. James Day, 1897, the present church edifice was completed. Revs. Joseph Brown, W. H. Wilson and Dr. Quinn have served at different times as priests. The membership is small, but they are true, energetic and faithful. The location of the church is the corner of Hale and Cumberland streets. The usual services are held regularly. A cordial invitation is extended to all. The members of the Knights of Pythias Endowment Board were tendered a sumptuous repast Sunday in the spacious apartments of the Nashville Social Club. Among those present were Dr. J. W.

The accession will be remembered as one of the most pleasing of the fraternity. The Endowment Board of the Knights of Pythias met in this city Saturday at the Pythian Temple. The following members were present: Dr. J. W. Whitefield, President, Murfreesboro; A. Thos. Hill, Secretary, Pulaski; U. W. Richardson, Chattanooga; Wayman Wilkerson, Memphis; W. S. Thompson, Nashville, together with J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor, and B. F. Boothe, Grand Attorney, Memphis. The session was a most interesting one, showing that the order was in a very prosperous condition. The report of A. Thos. Hill, Secretary, was a most exhaustive one, eliciting the encomium of the Board and visiting Knights. Prof. Hill certainly puts his whole soul and mind in the work that is assigned him. Claims to the amount of five thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars were allowed. This is the heaviest death rate in the annals of the order, but it seems that plenty of funds are available for all purposes. There now remains in the Grana Lodge and Endowment treasuries over forty thousand dollars. The receipts from last quarter were encouraging to the utmost degree. The total membership in Tennessee is about twelve thousand. Along mercantile and industrial lines Jackson compares favorably with other towns of Tennessee. She has many big property owners, notably A. C. Cain, Thomas Davis, S. L. Randolph, Downing Ballard, T. P. Harralson and others. In the post-office we find four colored letter carriers who give universal satisfaction to the patrons. Messrs. Trumble, Ballard, and Lane are veterans in the carrier service. The People's Drug Company is a new enterprise fostered by some of the leading men of Madison County. They have opened a good establishment with trained pharmacists in charge. The citizens seem to be proud of the new venture. There are numerous other establishments owned and operated by Negroes. An undertaking concern conducted by Mr. G. T. Maury and a furniture store by Mr. S. L. Randolph are among the foremost in the place. 1 is also a licentiate of Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., where he did post-graduate work in Philosophy and Education. For a number of years he has been a member of the Harvard Teachers' Association. President Lane has traveled extensively in this country and Europe. This, together with his literary accomplishments, eminently fits him for the many duties which come to one who is at the head of one of our largest institutions of learning. As president, Prof. Lane is making a record of which he and his friends may just be proud. --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1911. *** *** [Name not visible] LANE COLLEGE, THE GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF THE C.

This school is located in the western section of the state of Tennessee, in the city of Jackson, the same in which the C. M. E. Church was organized. From a strategic standpoint they could hardly have been a better location. In this section of Tennessee our Church is strong and thousands of people have their homes. The school is easy of access, there being three railway trunk lines passing through Jackson. Students easily reach the school from all parts of West Tennessee and from those states contingent thereto. The following departments are maintained, viz.: College Classical, College Scientific, Teachers' Training, Theological, Normal, College Preparatory, English, Sewing, Basketry, Mechanical Drawing, Carpentry, Printing, Correspondence, Commercial and Music. More than 355 students from thirteen different states are in attendance this year. For the past fifteen years some of the industries have been taught at Lane, but they have never been made of first importance. equipment upon the ground for work, the great fire came, and in one night swept away the result of years of prayers, labor and toil.

That was a will upon the part of supporting conferences and the Church as a whole to the deeds of man.

His rigid honesty, his exemplary life and his wise counsel have endeared him to the people of all denominations, irrespective of races. His founding of Lane College alone, an institution that represents an outlay of more than $85,000, would make his name illustrious and give him a place among the great men of the church and of the nation.

Spécial to ihe Nashville Globe. Wlberton, Ga., January 25.—Co-oper. ation between the ministers and farmers of the Negro race was empha- sized here yesterday when the Presiti- ing Elder of the Blberton District, Rey. Dr. C. L. Bonner, and the min- ‘sters of the district met in a farm- ers’ conference with negro farmers of Elbert, Hart, Franklin, Stephens aud adjocent countries here yesterday. The call was issued by Rev. C. L. Bonner, a prominent minister in the colored Methodist Episcopal Church, who stated in his address that he recognized the importance of the Ne- gro ministry getting in closer touch with the practical lives of the people. “The negro minister must become more and more a producer,” said Dr. Bonner. “It is not alone meet that we should live on the people—be consum- ers— and not contribute to the pro duction and wealth of the people in a material sense. . In this campaign for rural education which We mean to carry on through our Hartwell school, we have the co-operation of Prof. P. C. Parks, of Clark University, and 1 trust sincerely that every preacher among us will encourage this move- ment in the highest degree.” Better Cultivation. | ‘he demonstration work was car. jried on under the direction of Prof. | Parks. The history and habits of the | boll weevil were discussed by Hon. |Lee Wassam, State Entomologist. | Prof. Parks discussed the steps neces- |sary to prepare the Negro farmer for |the boll weevil, advising the farmers that the first step was the growing of food supplies for the individual |family use and for stock. Under this jhe discussed a thorough and syste- | matic cultivation of the soil, a care- |ful selection of commercial fertilizers |and advised that more attention be paid to barn-yard manures. The work the government is doing in trying to fight the boll weevil and to lay plans | before farmers for success in this en- |deavor were emphasized by the speak- er, who urged that greater co-opera. ton with this government in this re- jane would be productive of better re- sults.

COMING. ae The distinguished member of the surgical staff of Meharry Medical Col- lege residing in Chicago will arrive next week to begin his week of clinics at the new Hubbard Hospital, located en the college grounds. Dr. Danist H. Williams has beei connected with the Meharry faculty for the past twelve years and vach year he comes with an improved technique. His lat- est was that for the radical cure for thyroidism, a disease that has bafiled the minds of some of the most skill- ful surgeons of two continents. Dr. J. A. Kenney, of Tuskegee In- stitute Hospital, the able associate of Dr. Williams, will also be present. ‘The former gentleman is reputed to te one of the foremost anesthetists of the South. During his visit he de livers a series of lectures on that subject. Drs. Davis and Wearing, of Mus- kogee, Okla, are preparing to practice ‘n_Old Mexico. During the past week Dean Hub- bard went to Louisville, Ky.. in or- der to make a statement before the Mexican Council, certifying they had completed a regular course at Me- harry and that thetr diplomas are genuine. While in Loulsville the "ean was entertained by Drs. Blake, Latimore and Brown, and visited the Louisville Nationa) Medical College and the hospital connected with the institution, also the Medical Depart- ment of the University of Louisviile and its hospital. During the weck we were favored by the presence of several distin- guished visitors. Among them was Dr. Kress, of Washington, D. C., who s in charge of the Sanitaria under vhe Seventh Day Adventists. This gentleman spoke at length on the prevalent causes of :premature death and pointed out the means of sup- pressing this condition. He strongly explained what he termed the “barri- ers of defens2.” Among the most recent things intro- duced at the new hospital at Mehar- ry is an association for making sponges. Last Friday evening the members met in the spacious parlor of the hospital, where a number of sponges were made. These new in- stitutions by our able head nurse, Miss Hunt, are adding largely to the ele- vation of all concerned. We uote the 1'Iness of Miss Florinda L.

Pulaski, Tenn., Jan. 21—The quar- terly session of the Endowment Board of the Calanthe Court convened here this morning. The following mem- hers were in attendance: Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Nashville, Grand Worthy Counsellor; Mrs. Clemmie White, of Nashville, Grand Worthy Receiver of Deposits, and Mrs, M. A. Turner, of Pulaski, Grand Worthy Secretary. ‘Twenty-three death claims were passed upon and paid. The receipts were very satisfactory to all parties concerned and showed that the Order is gaining strength throughout the jurisdiction. It was reported that several new courts ary in process of organizing. The Grand Worthy Receiver reports a balance in the Grand Court treasury of ten thou- sand dollars. The meeting adjourned this evening after a geenuous day's work. While here thé members of the Board were hospitadly _ enter- tained by Mr. and Mrs. T, P. Turner, whose doors are always open to vist: tors. —— ; A PASTOR POUNDED. The members and friends of the Third Avenue Baptist Church gave their new pastor, Rev. J. S, Slaughter, a pleasant sirprise on the evening of the 2ist. The surprise was an old- fashioned storm party. The members and friends went in singing, “Stand the storm, and it won't be long,” etc., and it was not long before the table was laden with eatables of many kinds and other<aeetebes of intrinsic value. Mrs. Black was chosen leader, and in a few well chosen words she pre- sented to Rev. and Mrs. Slaughter the numerous gifts that had been made In response the congenial pastor ac cepted the gifts and assured the members and friends of his high ap- preciation of what they had done for him and assured them that it would always be his delight to serve them to the best of his ability.

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.

Rockefelier’s Education Board Assists Nashville Institution—Ten Univer- sities Draw Share, Special to the Nashville Globe. New York, Jan. 24—Appropriations aggregating $710,000 were made to ten universities and colleges at the eigth annual meeting of the general educa- tion board to-day. The gifts are con- ditional upon additional sums being raised by the institutions, The dona- tions are: Brown University, Providence, R. I, $100,000. Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., $190,000. Colorado College, Colorado Springs, $50,000. Dakota’ Wesleyan University, $50,- 000. Denison University, Granville, Ohio, $75,000. Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., $60,000. = Mount Holyoke College, South Had- ley;-Mass., $100,000. Randolph-Macon . College, Ashland, Vay $50,000, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa., $75,000. Western College for Wemen, Ox. ford, Ohio, $50,000. The gift to Fisk is the result of a recent meeting of the Trustee Board, when they agreed to launch a cam paign in the interest of the univer sity. The trustees determined to raise $300,000, and a statement to that effect was presented to the General Rducation Board with the request that they aid in the effort as they are ac- customed to help institutions under proper conditions. It is their custom to give one-fifth of the amount to be raised, and it is agsumed that, as in connection with virtually all thelr gifts to institutions, this one 1s condi. tioned upon the other four-fifths, that is $240,000, being raised by the trus tees, FINANCIAL SITUATION. ‘The time seems to have fully come for Fisk University to take some strong forward steps looking toward permanent support. Like all other schools for our people, Fisk Universi- ty has lived for nearly half a century and done its large and useful work under a heavy strain of financial bur- den. Doubtless for many years to come that state of affairs will remain; indeed, in many respects and direc- tions it will increzse, But it is the highest time that some change of base he made. We have always lived more or less from hand to mouth, gather- ing our annual support, in addition to what the American Missionary As- sociation has always generously gly- en, as best we might. Assignments from the Hand Fund and the Slater Board have been a very high help. ‘These, along with private gifts, have maintained the work. But with the ever-growing demands we have been running behind until now there is a debt upon the institution of nearly » ee NOTICE. We have about 40 HOUSES and more than 175 VACANT LOTS situated in the different o szctionsf the City, which we will sell on EAsY PAYMENTS. We will build on the vacant pro} to your order if you desire. Call at oS oe —J62 Fourth Avenue, North, and we will 0 fully into the matter with you and have it L, Fite show you the property. For further information call Main 2323 or 2324, $50,000. The Trustees, after repeated and patient discussion, have finally de- termined upon a policy of a strong forward movement, which may be ‘stated as follows: It is proposed to exter upon a cam- -paign to raise at least $300,000 1. Of the sum fifty thousand dol- lars will be needed to pay off out- standing obligations. 2. Pifty thousand dollars for the establishing of a central heating plant. (The day has gone by for the method of heating which fs still in use in Fisk University, by which virtually each building is heated from its own basement boilers. This is very much more expensive than the method of ‘heating all the buildings from a cen- tral point.) In connection with this plant the plan is to install our own ‘electric lighting system and adequate | laundry facilities. | 3. Ten thousand dollars for repairs and improvements, | 4. At least two hundred thousand dollars is to be added to our present ‘endowment fund of $73,426.93. | ‘The Trustees have engaged for this ‘special work Mr. H. L. Simmons, of ‘Brooklyn, N, Y. Mr, Simmons is a | man of wide experience in this work; he was largely instrumental in rais- ing nearly a miliion dollars for the ‘Brooklyn Y. M. G. A. building. He has already entered upon his work with a devotion and enthusiasm that bespeak success. FOR SALE, 3,000 Acres of Land For Sale. Gordon and Hilonth have listed 8,000 acres of land in southwest Kan- sas for sale, It is fine productive land; produces wheat, corn, alfalfa, barley, oats, c»affy and corn in abun- ance, The Jand can be bought on easy terms.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1911. Overloading the People. There are scores of big-hearted men and women in this city who are cognizant of the needs of the people, and there is constantly being organized associations for the alleviation of the sufferings of the unfortunate and the protection of the weak, but in their great desire to do something for humanity there is a possibility that too many will be launched at once. We can call to mind a half dozen movements that have been started in this city by individuals. All of them are in the main striving to do the same thing. In that respect we are liable to overburden the people and may destroy an opportunity to do great good. At every turn evidences of suffering among the people and neglect of children are apparent, and we are moved out of sympathy to do something for the unfortunate ones, but we should reflect long enough to get our wits together, that we may decide upon the best course to pursue that the greatest number may be benefited by our efforts. Negroes are poor as a rule; the majority of them barely make enough to take care of themselves, and they cannot support too many benevolent institutions. They have first their churches to support and then their lodges, and they are legion, and with these institutions to keep up they can not be expected to have very much to give to other benevolent institutions. So it would be a better plan to not start too many charitable affairs, but make a few worth while. Bishop Grant. In the death of Bishop Abraham Grant the African Methodist Episcopal Church loses a strong man from the bench of bishops and the race loses a champion who never tired. He was a man of sterling worth to his church, having risen from the humbleest position to one of the highest honor and dignity the Connection could bestow upon him. Bishop Grant was a tireless worker, and was ever on the alert that the cause of his race might not lag. He was courageous but amiable, positive but kind. A hero for the cause of Christianity. --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1911. Our Republican Governor. On Wednesday of this week the citizens of Tennessee witnessed" the inauguration of the first Republican governor this state has had in thirty years. The gentleman so honored was Hon. Ben W. Hooper, of Newport. The inauguration was unusual in that the established custom of holding the exercises in the capitol was departed from, and the public auditorium was used instead. The election of Gov. Hooper came about through a disruption in the Democratic party, of which the people know well. But now the election is over and it will be wisdom on the part of every citizen to set his heart on the development of our great state. Every difference that existed should be put aside now and let us have peace. Let us concede that every man fought for what he believed to be right, and not hold malice against any for contending for what they believed to be right. All Tennesseans should work as hard under a Republican governor for the uplift of all the people and for the promotion of every worthy cause as they would if the man of their choice should have been chosen. At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League held at Tuskegee Institute it was decided to suggest to the Negroes of the country that they drop the idea of holding a central celebration of the fiftieth year of freedom and that the states and communities take up the matteer. This is a wise move and should meet with general approval. Self-reliance will always win. It is thought by some that the death of Bishop Grant, of Kansas City, Kans., will cause the Council of Bishops to change the meeting place of the next General Conference. If such a thing is contemplated Nashville's chances for securing the meeting ought to be very bright. The Negroes of Chicago deserve credit for the manner in which they responded to the appeal for the Young Men's Christian Association. Cannot the Negroes of Nashville do likewise? The good women of our city have set out to improve conditions in our public schools. They deserve the moral support of every one. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. HELP THE Y. M. C. A. We are glad to see our public-spirited ladies coming to the aid of the Y. M. C. A. The proposed big concert-recital to be given in the New Theatre on the 27th ought to be a huge success. All true Washington people are thoroughly interested in the Y. M. C. A. building. The completion of the building should be the watchword. The American urges the people to this affair and in so doing will help the Y. M. C. A.—Washington American. The Republican party of Texas polled 160,000 votes in 1896. In 1910 it polled 26,000 votes. Here's some progress backwards. Notwithstanding this discouraging showing there are more Republicans in Texas than at any time in its history, but they do not recognize the voice of the man from Sherman. Old line Republicans cannot read these lines without seeing in them their plain duty to organize the party. We say organizes because under the Lyon regime the party has been thoroughly disorganized. The way to begin is for every man to pay his poll tax.—Dallas Express. Every Negro in Chicago who absolutely refused to contribute towards raising the fifty thousand dollars for the Y. M. C. A., and particularly those who are getting their existence from the race, as well as those who never fail to accept when their is any honor attached, politically or otherwise, ought to be tabulated in order that they might receive the benefit of their mistake when they come up for something that they can only hope to get through the united support of the Negroes. (Enough said.)—The Chicago Defender. WHAT'S IN McCLURE'S The leading feature in the February McClure's is the first installment of the series of true detective stories, "Great Cases of Detective Burns," recorded by Dana Gatlin. Burns is unquestionably the most famous detec- tive in the United States, and these stories of his most interesting cases are told in his own words. The first of these, "How Abe Ruef Confessed," is a story of the famous San Francisco graft prosecutions. "The Case of the Reporter," by Hugo Munsterberg, deals with the methods of the newspaper reporters. Prof. Munsterberg as a noted psychologist is considered good "copy," and his account of the sensational distortions and the faked interviews which the newspapers have printed about his work is an especially interesting example of the inaccuracy and the exaggerations of the press. The article on "Women Laundry Workers," by Edith Wyatt and Sue Ainsley Clark, is composed of the reports of Miss Carola Woeirishofer, Miss Elizabeth Howard Westwood and Miss Mary Alden Hopkins, who have made a thorough investigation of the conditions existing in the commercial, hotel and hospital laundries in New York. Burton J. Hendrick's second article on "The Mormon Revival of Polygamy" gives many instances of polygamous marriages that have taken place since the manifesto was issued, and proves positively that plural marriages are now the rule among the Mormons, and that they are sanctioned by the Mormon Church. "Critical Moments with Wild Animals," by Ellen Velvin, in this number of McClure's, is an interesting account of the training of wild animals for circus and animal shows. The special fiction feature in the February number is "Innocencio," by Rex Beach, a dramatic adventure story of the Caribbean Sea, one of the strongest pieces of writing that Mr. Beach has yet done. Among the other stories are "Trixie," by Frances Ludwig; "The Rug of her Fathers" a story of a little Syrian girl, by Lucille Baldwin Van Slyke; "The Adventure in the Stricken City," by Perceval Gibbon; and the third instalment of Mrs. Humphry Ward's novel, "The Case of Richard Meynel." LOCATES IN HOUSTON, TEX. According to information received here last week, Mr. H. Thomas Calloway, the popular traveling tailor, with headquarters at Chicago, Ill., and who has visited Nashville on many trips, has decided to locate in Houston, Tex. It was also stated that in locating in the Magnolia City, he is casting his lot with the Organ Realty and Investment Company, which is one of the five Negro banks in Texas. are some of the matters that will be taken under consideration. It is the consensus of opinion that many of the children of the city are forced to adapt eye glasses because of the great strain on their eyes trying to get their lessons in school. It is believed that much of the sickness among the children comes from the bad sewerage conditions in the public schools. The alliances are determined that these faults shall be remedied. ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK STOCK GOES UP. For the first time in the history of a Negro banking institution in Tennessee a premium of $1.25 per share will be placed on all of the unsubcribed capital stock of one of the local banks of the city. This action was taken by the directors in their regular monthly meeting which was held in the directors' room of the One Cent Savings Bank, Monday night, January 23. It will be remembered that this recommendation was made by President Boyd in his annual address to the stockholders early in the month in which he showed that a working capital of less than five thousand dollars had earned a surplus with a undivided profit nearly equal to that of the capital. This order of a 25 per cent premium on the dollar or $1.25 on each $5.90 share is said to be effective at once upon all who desire to purchase new stock, and who are not already stockholders in the bank. The directors agreed that all stockholders would be allowed to double their holdings. One of the other business transactions of the directors was the creating of the office of a second Vice President and the selecting of Mr. J. W. Grant to serve in such capacity. The directors also elected Mr. C. N. Langston as Assistant Cashier, while the President named an Auditing Committee consisting of W. S. Thompson, L. Landers and C. V. Roman. A committee of three consisting of the President, Cashier and the Chairman of the Executive Committee was appointed to investigate and report on plans for the installing of a fire-proof vault with a time lock safe. A meeting of the stockholders to make further arrangements for the success of the bank will be held early in February. ST. LUKE PENNY SAVINGS BANK, OF RICHMOND, VA. The annual meeting of stockholders of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va., incorporated, will be held Monday night, January 30th, 1911, at St. Luke Hall, 900 St. James Street, Richmond, Va., at eight of the clock, for the purpose of hearing the annual reports, the election of a board SEMIANNUAL CLEAN-UP SALE Queen Quality Shoes—$5 00, $4.00 $3.50; all small sizes ..... $1.75 Men's Shoes—Discarded lots; $6.00, $5 00, $4.00 ..... $2.00 of directors and the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the meeting.

In this cause it appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the defendant is a non-resident of the State of Tennessee, therefore the ordinary process of law can not be served upon him; it is therefore ordered that said defendant enter his appearance herein at the February term of the Davidson County Circuit Court, to be holden at the Court House in Nashville, Tennessee, on the 1st Monday in February, it being a rule day of this Court, and defend, or said complainant's bill will be taken for confessed as to him and set for hearing ex parte. It is therefore ordered that a copy of this order be published for four weeks in succession in the Nashville Globe, a newspaper published in Nashville. J. P. RHINES, Solicitor for Complainant. NOT DAUNTED. brought up under a suspension of the rules and at a time when they required a two-thirds majority, and are still pending. The Executive Committee after frankly discussing all phases of the matter, unanimously came to the conclusion that in view of the short time that remains, it would probably be impossible to hold a National Exposition, such as was planned, that would reflect credit upon the race or show in any adequate way the progress which has been made by the Negro people during their freedom. For that reason, the Memoranda which follow were unanimously adopted by the Executive Committee, and the suggestions contained therein are earnestly recommended to the consideration of the Negro people throughout the United States, namely: NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. 1. In view of the fact that the Congress of the United States has thus far failed to make provision as suggested by President Taft in his message to Congress for a proper celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro in the United States; In view of the further fact that should Congress now make an appropriation we fear the time would be too short to enable us to carry out a celebration in the form as first planned; Therefore we, the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, advise that the race should not await the expected action of Congress, and suggest instead of the large central exposition as first planned, that the celebration should take the following form: 2. That the third week in October, 1913, be set aside for the celebration, and be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. 3. That instead of a Central Exposition, the Schools, Churches and all other Societies and organizations in each community unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding a local celebration; this celebration to take the form of an exposition of the progress in commercial, professional, moral, intellectual and religious directions made by the race in that community. 4. We suggest that where it is possible these expositions be held in connection with existing county or state fair organizations; it will not be necessary to change the regular date for holding such county, or state fair. 5. Wherever it seems feasible, the county or the state should be made the unit of organization for the celebration instead of the local community. 6. We advise that especial effort be made to secure in addition to the physical exposition, a program of appropriate speeches and other literary features; the speakers to be as far as possible the strongest and best men that can be obtained, North and South. 7. We advise that wherever possi- county or state aid to carry out the plans of the local committee. 8. We suggest that, in case money is secured from Congress, it be apportioned among the states, to be expended under the control of the governor, or some other state authority, in proportion to the number of colored people residing in the different commonwealths. 9. We believe that the plans here outlined have several advantages over the plans previously proposed: (a) First, it makes it possible to put the whole race to work in planning and preparing for the exposition and celebration suggested. (b) It will enable more people to see the progress the Negro has made, than would be possible if they had to travel many miles to some Central Exposition. 10. In conclusion, we strongly urge that our people begin now to plan and prepare for Fiftieth Anniversary Week, and that this be made at once a means and an occasion for calling attention of the world to the immense progress the Negro race in America has made during fifty years of freedom. It is the earnest hope and desire of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League that the above suggestions shall be read before the various churches, lodges and other organizations, to the end that the Fiftieth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere. Miladi's Note Book. The musical department of Walden University deserves much credit for the entertainment it offered to music lovers of Nashville, Friday, January 20th, and those of us who were fortunate enough to attend were created to some fine music. The writer did not get into the auditorium in time to hear the orchestra number but was highly benefited by the numbers he heard. The Glee Club sang one number and an encore which exhibited some admirable phases of study. In some instances the shading was delightful and tone quality highly pleasing. The only criticism would suggest a little more abandon on the part of the whole club and the tenor in particular and more freedom in expression. The quality of the low bass is beyond ordinary. In short there are in the Walden Club strong possibilities of a fine chorus and we are all proud of it. The duett (instrumental) by Misses Allen and Scott brought forward evidences of real artistic ability which plainly captivated the audience. The star attraction of the evening was Mrs. Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Brown is no stranger to the musical people of our city; for she made for herself a warm place in the hearts of us all, the very first time she appeared here, a few years ago. In recording her visit, and in giving account of her art, the writer called attention to some patent defects and faults in voice and method which somewhat hindered her high aims and consequently was most pleased to learn of her intended visit to us again so as to judge of what improvement the singer had made since last we heard her. Any person who listened to her last Friday evening with an intention of comparing what she is now, as a singer to what she was then must necessarily have been most highly gratified; for from top to bottom, her notes were all well planned and pointed, her voice even and smooth and as lascious as the voice of a thrush. Though there was a slight lack of flexibility due to a cold, she executed some splendid runs and trills which none save a real artist could perform. In the songs which had flowing melodies, she gave as fine an exhibition of singing as one could desire to hear, particularly is this true of the Seree made by Tostil. It is only a few times in a life time that one is permitted to hear such high class art. From the degree of improvement Mrs. Brown has made in the time between her visits to us, it is not long before she must be classed as one of the best singers before the public, nobody excepted. She certainly gave us the best singing we have heard for many moons. Mrs. Brown is to be congratulated unstintingly upon her accompanist. Mrs. Majors, whose work was a joy and delight. A Jolly Crowd Surprises Misses Moore. A jolly crowd met at the home of Miss Estella Berry Friday evening after which they went to the home of Misses Ella B. and Georgia H. Moore, 906 Blank street. This being a great surprise to the hostess, the party carried a very tempting luncheon. Those taking part were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bentley, Messrs. Wm. Whitney, Foster Turner, Wm. Laws, Charles Powell, Samuel Love, Misses Lula Northern, Willie Early, Josie Muse, Jannie Love. Games were the features of the evening. Y. M. L. C. At the home of Mr. Rhodes the club held a splendid meeting. The executive committee, which met during last week, presented a number of provisions and later announced for the club's consideration the principal speaker of Washington's birth occasion to be celebrated by our club. The recommended person being Prof. Irwin, of the High School, the latter being unanimously received. The program was easily the main feature, for the address on Garfield both as a "military commander," "a campaign enumerator" and the "Hero of Mills Creek," was clearly exemplified by the speakers, Messrs. Winston, Bond, Stockard and H. Jordan. The next meeting will be held at the home of A. R. Stockard, 1616 State street. Y. M. L. Club. The club met at the home of A. R. Stockard. Current events being the topic of discussion, led by Mr. Bond. "The Congress Acknowledgement Concerning Capt. Perry's Discovery." "Shall We Fortify the Said Panama Canal?" "Feature of the Carnegie Trust Company," etc., all of which were very interesting. The speaker of the George Washington birth occasion, named W. P. Irvin, of Pearl High School. Also the speaker of the Lincoln occasion not definite but will be announced later. An in- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1911 teresting program is to be at our meeting with Mr. Kinzer, 29 North Hill street. Franz A.

Thompson, 16 Lewis street, Friday afternoon, Feb. 3, at three o'clock. All members are requested to be present and bring a visiting friend. Mrs. G. W. Thompson, President. Mrs. J. H. Hale, Secretary. The Ladies' Aid Society of Braden Memorial M. E. Church met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Mayfield, 700 corner Seventh and Winter streets, January 18, 1911. The following program was rendered: Rev. J. W. Ellis, pastor of Seay Chapel M. E. Church, made an able address on the work of the society. Instrumental selection Miss Lottie Balle Address ..... Rev.

The club held its business meeting early in the evening and later were joined by a congenial number of the other sex for an hour of fun and merriment. A novel game designated "As a Bargain Counter" was proposed, each member being given a slip of paper with numbers including 33. A package labelled so as to afford a clue to its contents was supplied and the bearer proceeded to unravel the hidden mystery within his parcel and as many of the others as his ingenuity could reveal. A box of chocolates was labelled "A breeze from the ocean." A mustard spoon as "A member of the smart set." A shoe string as "A bit of old lace." The tact, originality and ability to make every one around them happy, for which the hostesses are famed, was never shown to greater advantage, as this meeting excelled all previous efforts to divert from dull care and inspire in every one the spirit of mirth and jollity. The most correct set of answers was furnished by Miss L. A. Banks, who was awarded the first prize. The second fell to Mr. Byrnes. A musical program was rendered during the evening. The "Rosary" with violin accompaniment being especially enjoyed. A two-course menu was served at a late hour. The guest list included Mrs. George Moore, Sr., Mrs. George Moore, Jr., Messrs. A. W. Jackson, C. W. Kelly, W. D. Boger, L. Searcy, L. L. Foster, J. A. Simpson, S. D. Robbins, W. Crutcher, Ernest Byrnes, W. H. LeSueur, J. S. Scott, A. H. Dyson, J. M. Morris, E.

The meeting was called to order by the president at 3:30. The regular business and club ceremonies were omitted, as it was the date set apart for the election of officers. There were three candidates for each office. The members were very anxious to know just who would be elected. After short discourses by candidates the club's auditor passed the ballot box around to each member to vote. Those coming out successful were Samuel Jamison, president; T. B. Cohen, Secretary; Edward Upshaw, Treasurer. Mr. Jamison is a very industrious young man and the club expects great success under his administration. *** A splendidly attended meeting of the Fleur-de-Lis Art Club was held at the home of Mrs. L.
