VOL. VI.
GELEBRATED AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA.
Seventeenth Annual Event Largely Attended.
A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL CHAPMAN ARMSTRONG — INSPIRING ADDRESSES DELIVERED — BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AFRICAN MISSIONARY — NEGRO ORGANIZATIONS AND USEFULNESS AMONG THE SUBJECTS DISCUSSED — PRESIDENT UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA PREACHES SERMON.
Hampton, Va., Jan. 30.—The seventeenth annual celebration of Founders' Day, in honor of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, soldier-educator of the Negro and Indian races and pioneer in agricultural and industrial education for all races, was held on Saturday at Hampton Institute.
Interesting and inspiring addresses were delivered by Wm. H. Mann, governor of Virginia, Good Homes; J. D. Eggleston, Virginia superintendent of schools, Better Public Schools; William H. Sheppard, F. R. G. S., African missionary; two Hampton graduates—W. B. Holland, Franklin, Va., Negro Organizations, and C. B. Randall, Belona, Va., Usefulness; Wickliffe Rose, Southern educator, School Demonstration Work; Jackson Davis, Virginia state supervisor of colored schools, Supervising Teacher; W. T. B. Williams, field agent, John F. Slater Fund, Negro Public and Private Schools; Mrs. B. B. Munford, Virginia Co-operative Education Association, and Robert Bruner, Upbuild ing the Negro.
The Founder's Day sermon was delivered on Sunday by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, the well-known Southern educator and president of the University of South Carolina. It dealt with the significance of General Armstrong's life and work to the problem of race adjustment. He said:
"We have reasoned about the economic, social and political bonds of the two races. There is a physical bond that unites them. Disease is no respector of races. The health movement is going to help on the home, farm and school movements."
Dr. Mitchell compared General Armstrong with Alexander Hamilton. "They appreciated the unity of nations rather than the beautiful traditions of any particular section or class of the people. They were struck by the moral mission of America." "I tell you," said Dr. Mitchell, "I get more leverage on problems of the South at Hampton than in any other place between the Potomac and the Rio Grande. Hopefulness seems to be in the atmosphere. I am fully inclined to believe with General Armstrong that the presence of the Negro here is not an accident, but the fulfillment of a divine purpose.
"With God and nature on our side, and with the potential qualities for growth and work in both races, I believe we are going to work out our problem. Your children and mine will live together upon this soil in the spirit of mutual helpfulness through the ages and ages that open out before our common country. Dr. Mitchell said, "What we need to reckon up are the assets, the encouraging features, and the forces that are making for good." Thomas Nelson Page, the delightful writer of the old South, gave a heart-to-heart talk to the Hampton students on morals and manners and paid a tribute of gratitude to General Armstrong—"the father of a better and truer education for the Negro," one who taught men to appreciate the dignity of labor. He said: "Seek out and form a close personal friendship with a good, sensible, level-headed, warm-hearted white man or woman much older than you are."
The following Hampton trustees were present: James W. Cooper, Frank Darling, W. W. Frazier, Clarence H. Kelsey, Lunsford L. Lewis, William J. Schleffelin and Hollis B. Frissell.

NASHVILLE, FENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1911.
By no means unimportant in the educational work of Nashville is that of the colored public schools. These schools are in excellent condition, and especially at Knowles School are the pupils showing to excellent advantage the benefits of impartial superintendence and skilled and careful training. Not in their books alone are they making satisfactory progress, but in manual training they are perhaps better advanced than any similar school in Nashville. In the fourth grade this work is particularly fine, and the picture gives an excellent idea of the very artistic work done in raffia by the pupils of that grade.
The picture presents a full toilet set, designed and executed by fourth grade pupils, the set including every piece, even to the familiar, straggly-looking toothbrush, regarded as an adjunct to a lady's toilet equipment.
The work is done entirely in raffia, such as the Indians of the Western plains now use for the making of blankets, bowls and other household and ornamental articles. Besides the washstand set, the picture shows a mixing bowl of perfect proportions and exquisite shapeliness, and beside it a ladie, also of raffia and well designed.
The articles are woven by hand, after the manner of the Indian women, a work which has for some time been quite a pleasing and useful fad among the white social element of the Western cities. For it is well known that basket weaving has become of late years an accomplishment by no means confined to the dextrous fingers of the Indians. However, it is not usual to find so many uses made for it, and for this reason also is the work of the Knowles School pupils of particular interest.
It is by no means a feat unaccompanied by difficult care and artistic spirit to contrive designs of such size, and shapeliness, with such unqualified success, and the pupils accomplishing this very difficult task have displayed much artistic ability, as well as courageous perseverance.
When it is remembered that the pieces here reproduced are all the work of first-year pupils the credit is to them enhanced fourfold.
The articles were displayed at all days during the week at the of Supt. Keyes on Vauxhall s and the enthusiastic superintendance is much pleased with the progress the pupils and the result of the forts. All pupils of the grade taken the full course in manual ing, and all are deeply interested in the work.
The teacher under whose mission the beautiful raffia work fashioned is Miss Emma Cockrill the pupils whose pieces appear in the picture are:
Large owl and pitcher, Estell kins and John Vantrees; the shapely and well made slop basis by B. Griggsby; small drinking er. Minnie Crudry; soap basil ther Cowan; mixing bowl, l Thuss; ladle, Mary Butter; the and difficult cuspidor, Clyde Ae the very natural fringed towels zel Bonner; tooth-brush and Estelle Perkins.
The pupils deserve all credit their beautiful work, which distrates the artistic quality of efforts in the manual training s.
ALL THE BISHOPS.
JOINf SESSION BEGUN THURSDAY MORNING-ORGANIC UNION TO BE DISCUSSED.
Special to the Globe.
Mobile, Ala., Feb. 8.—The bishops of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zionand C. M. E. Churches met here this morning in executive sessions. At the several meetings of the bishops the routine work of the different churches was taken and dispatched with all possible haste in order that all might be present at roll-call.
On Thursday morning the Bishops of the A. M. E., C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches engaged in joint session. Their meeting means much for Methodism and the race, as they represent several million communicants. There are many important matters to be considered by those spiritual fathers, and much may be expected, as they are on the alert to inaugurate and recommend to their general conferences such measures as will better the general condition of Methodism in the United States and foreign countries, where missionaries are engaged in spreading the churches.
One of the most vital questions that will inevitably claim their consideration is, will the three churches be unified? Besides the matter of organic union, there are many other very important matters that will be considered by the joint council of Bishops, which is expected to promote general harmony between the churches. The bishops' council is not a legislative body, nor a court of trial, but is purely an assembly for counsel and advice, but as a rule, the churches will obey the advice of the bishops, just as sacredly as if made a law by the general conference.
The bishops occupy the highest positions in the gift of the Negro church, and the several general conferences have made selection of such
mixing bowl of perfect proportions and exquisite shapeliness, and beside it a ladie, also of raffia and well designed.
The articles are woven by hand, after the manner of the Indian women, a work which has for some time been quite a pleasing and useful fad among the white social element of the Western cities. For it is well known that basket weaving has become of late years an accomplishment by no means confined to the dextrous fingers of the Indians. However, it is not usual to find so many uses made for it, and for this reason also is the work of the Knowles School pupils of particular interest.

men for bishops that when they meet and make recommendations to the churches all feel safe in following the mandates of their chieftains to the letter and the general conferences treat their recommendations as Congress does that of the President of the United States. Two bishops are attending the council from this city, namely, Bishop Evans Tyree, of the African Methodist Church, and Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the Colored Methodist. The following general officers of the African Methodist are in attendance: Dr. J. C. Caldwell, Dr. W. A. Lewis and Prof. Ira T. Bryant, all of the A. M. E. Church.
HATIEN WAY TO STOP REVOLTS.
Insurrecto Leaders Promptly Taken Out and Shot—Gen. Millionard with Six Others Executed.
Cape Hatien, Haiti, Feb. 8.—The government of President Simon is dealing rigorously with the revolutionary leaders. Gen. Millionard, of the department of Vallieres, head of the revolutionary forces, and a man of great influence in the district of Trou and Vallieres, who has been much feared by every administration, was summarily executed last night. Two additional officers, of whom one was Gen. Pilon, formerly commandant at Trou, and four other revolutionaries from the same district whose names are unknown, also troops. These executions, following so close on that of Gen. Montreuil Guillaume, are likely to have a deterrent effect on the rising, which is the object of President Simon, who now has the situation well in hand. It is reported that Gen. Duval, at whose house a large quantity of arms and munitions recently was found, is to be shot to-night, and that other distinguished men are to share the same fate. President Simon still remains at Plaisance, about ten miles from here, where he has concentrated a considerable force, but it is expected he will soon march on Trou. It is believed that the execution orders have come directly from him.
The articles were displayed several days during the week at the office of Supt. Keyes on Vauxhall street, and the enthusiastic superintendent is much pleased with the progress of the pupils and the result of their efforts. All pupils of the grade have taken the full course in manual training, and all are deeply interested in the work. The teacher under whose ministration the beautiful raffia work was fashioned is Miss Emma Cockrill, and the pupils whose pieces appear in the picture are: Large owl and pitcher, Estelle Perkins and John Vantrees; the very shapely and well made slop basin. Lilly B. Griggsby; small drinking pitcher. Minnie Crudry; soap basin, Esther Cowan; mixing bowl, Edwin Thuss; ladle, Mary Butler; the large and difficult cuspidor, Clyde Adams; the very natural fringed towels, Hazel Bonner; tooth-brush and mug, Estelle Perkins. The pupils deserve all credit for their beautiful work, which demonstrates the artistic quality of their efforts in the manual training school.
Gen. Zazier Memnon, another of the revolutionary leaders, is under arrest, while Gen. Clement Severe, who was captured some days ago, has been whipped for the purpose of extracting a confession from him as to the prime movers in the rising.
The warship Nord Alexis proceeded from here for Fort Liberte, which was bombarded to facilitate the landing of troops.
The consuls are taking steps to prevent, if possible, further bloodshed.
Gen. Millionard is the second prominent army officer executed as a traitor during the present rebellion in Haytie. Cape Haytien advices describe him as the leader of the revolt. He probably co-operated with Gen. Montreuil Guillaume in the capture of Trou. Gen. Guillaume was captured by government troops as he was advancing to attack Cape Haytien, and was summarily shot.
The executions at Trou make it evident that the government has again occupied the town.
Drumhead courts martial are common at times of rebellion in Hayti. A notable instance occurred at Part Au Prince on Sunday, March 15, 1908, during the revolution that in the following fall overthrew President Nord Alexis. Ten men suspected of disloyalty were taken from their homes and shot.

Nashville Man Soo Be Register of the Treasury.
INFORMATION COMES DIRECT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE—AUSTIN SEES PRESIDENT—AS SURED THAT NO CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE IN HIS PLANS—SECRETARY NORTON SAYS APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED—FRIENDS OF MR. NAPIER ARE ANXIOUS THAT MATTER BE SETTLED.
The matter of the appointment of the Hon. J. C. Napier, of this city, and the leading Negro politician in the state, to be Register of Treasury of the United State has again been brought into prominence by despatches that appeared in the daily papers this week.
One of them reads as follows:
"Representative Austin called upon the President recently in regard to the contemplated appointment of Hon. J. C. Napier, our distinguished fellow-townsman, to the position of register of the treasury, to succeed Hon. William T. Vernon, who now holds the position. It was announced during the last campaign that Mr. Napier would be appointed to the position, but no action has been taken, and Mr. Austin called on the President to inquire whether there had been any change in the plan to appoint him. Mr. Austin was informed that there had been no change in the plan, and that Mr. Napier would be appointed within a few days.
A special from the Capital City dated February 8, reads as follows: Washington, D. C., February 7.—The appointment of Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville to succeed Hon. W. T. Vernon, as Register of the Treasury will be sent to the Senate in a few days. This information was obtained at the White House to which much credence is attached. Private Secretary Norton said the appointment had been overlooked. The signature of the Nashville gentlemen, if his nomination is confirmed by the Senate, will appear on all the paper certificates issued by Uncle Sam.
Mr. Napier was interviewed by a Globe representative but he could not throw any new light on the subject. The action of the administration in this case is strange indeed. It could hardly have been possible for any one to have made the president decide to appoint Mr. Napier, but it does seem that some influence is being brought to bear to keep him from sending the name to the senate for confirmation. The action is very unusual, and if the statement of Secretary Norton is true then President Taft needs a Secretary. Mr. Napier when seen did not seem in the least perturbed over the matter. He is going on in the even tenor of his way looking after the bank and his other interests.
which the whole system of mental application is regulated. It is indeed true that if a man has a clear idea of what he desires to do, he will seldom fail in accomplishing it.
The most profitable study is that which is conducted with a definite aim and object. By thoroughly mastering any given branch of knowledge we render it more available for use at any moment. Hence, it is not enough merely to have books or to know where to read for information as we want it. Practical wisdom, for the purpose of life must be carried about with us, and be ready for use at call. It is not sufficient that we have a fund laid up at home, but not a nickel in the pocket; we must carry about with use a store of the current coin of knowledge ready for exchange on all occasions, we are are comparatively helpless. Be it resolved, that Wisdom and Knowledge is the key that unlocks the door of Prosperity, wherein all success lies. So
Without a definite aim,
Wisdom and knowledge is unobtained.

The Metropolitan Realty Company
The failure of the stockholders to reorganize the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, of New York and New Jersey will be undesirable news to Negroes everywhere. This company at one time showed signs of a great future, and the question asked by the New York Age in the issue of February 2, is quite significant. The Age says:
An official statement made by the officers of the company as late as July, 1910, admitted collections of more than $500,000 and claimed resources of an equal amount, with payment due on stock of $125,000, and cash of $100.32. Where are these assets? Where is the real estate included in the assets? What became or the $500,000 collected? Was that amount eaten up in the Savannah failure and the Eighth avenue failure?
The officers of the Metropolitan Company owe it to themselves, to their followers, their race and the authorities of New Jersey and New York to satisfactorily explain the expenditure of this vast sum of money. We have had too much high financiering, and our poor people have already been too much imposed upon.
we personally urged some time ago. The Metropolitan is the second gigantic concern conducted by Negroes to go to the wall inside of twelve months, and while it is common to read of failures of concerns conducted by men of the white race, such failures do not attract the wide spread attention one does when the promoters are Negroes; this is true because there are so few business enterprises of national reputation conducted by them. The Negro press from every section of the country is always glad to herald to the public the launching of an enterprise, and in most cases the readers of our little insignificant weeklies believe what they see in them.
It is an imperative necessity that Negro men plan well every undertaking. We do not mean by this that two or three years meditation should be indulged in before a project is launched, but that pains should be taken that no enterprise be built on a foundation of sand.
The habit of soliciting so many inexperienced people to buy stock in an enterprise is one of the delicate features that should receive careful

study. The Negro people of all, need to be taught how to save their earnings and go into business, but no man or woman ought to be persuaded to invest a single dollar in something they do not understand. Business is a risk at the best. It is in the final analysis a chance game, but so many people cannot understand it that way and those who do not know when they put their money in a corporation or company that they may not realize a cent on it for several years and maybe never ought to be permitted to invest in them.
The Age strikes the keynote when it points out that high financing is the cause of most of the big failures we are experiencing. The brakes must be put on. Too many failures are being reported. The guilty parties must be apprehended and branded for all time.
Prating as Usual.
Our esteemed contemporary, The Advocate of Charleston, Wa., in last week's issue engaged in a loquacious discussion of the proposed appointment of our prominent citizen, the Hon. J. C. Napier, as Register of the United States Treasury. The Advocate says:
If President Taft would not unwittingly disarrange the announced "dutch lunch" to speed Napier from Nashville and the projected banquet to welcome him to Washington, he must get a move on himself.
It is now within two days of the time settled upon by the Negro press for Vernon's retirement, and his successor has not even been nominated. Goshallhomlock! The suspense must be something awful at Nashville. Banquets are common occurrences at the Nation's Capital, but not so at Nashville.
When by chance or for any reason one can be pulled off in the Tennessee city the opportunity is seized with the avidity a hen pounces upon a grasshopper. And don't fool yourself with the belief that any "dickty" class of men is allowed to arrogate unto themselves all the honor by boosting the price. Not by a long sight! If the figure per plate is regarded prohibitory by the profanum vulgus, why the profanum vulgus calls a mass meeting and sets its own figure.
That's what they did when it was reported that Napier was to sign his name on Uncle Sam's money, but Mr. Taft has not yet "come across" for reasons which are not known to the public. In the mean time Nashville is getting restive and may get off those farewell speeches before Mr. Napier is ready to hear them.
Our good friend is to be condoned rather than censured for this prating, for be it remembered that the present administratio nhas not even made West Virginia a promise so far as the Negro is concerned.
Two Prominent Characters Gone.
Two Prominent Characters Gone.
Death claimed two prominent characters this week and last who were well-known in this city. One was Dr. C. Gowdy, of Henderson, Ky., a young man reared and educated here, who was the son of that great hero of fire fighting fame, Capt. Chas. Gowdy, who lost his life in that memorable fire of the early nineties. Dr. Gowdy graduated in medicine from Meharry and chose Kentucky as a field of operation. He succeeded admirably. He labored with the diseases of others until the grim reaper cut him down.
The other character was Mr. Thomas E. Ridley, who was one of the oldest pressmen in the city. He had worked at the trade in some of the largest white offices in the city. For the last twelve years he was associated with the National Baptist Publishing Board. He was well known, and liked by all who knew him. He was humble but affable. Peace to their ashes. We mourn with those who loved them most.
The late Bishop Abram Grant in giving liberally to the cause of education and charity set an example that other Negro men who have accumulated a little of this world's goods should emulate. The Christian education of the Negro youth will be left more and more as time goes by to the Negroes themselves.
The Allen Christian Endeavorer for February is on our desk. This number is brimful of the teaching of nobility. The Endeavorer is a distinctly religious journal, and ranks among the really high class church papers.
Log School House Passing. In a report recently submitted bv Prof R. L. Jones, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Tennessee, it is shown that the number of log schoolhouses has decreased since 1905 from 1,738 to 312. This one item will give an idea of the rapid strides we are making in educational matters. It is the duty of every man in the state to take an active interest in this matter. We have done well under Prof. Jones' administration, and no stone should be left unturned that will help to keep the interest in our schools alive.
The Grand Fountain of the Order of the True Reformers has been called to meet in Richmond, Va., February 21. We hope the officials of the order will be able to pull things together at that meeting, and start it anew on its mission of uplifting the people.
The Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $50,000 for a reformatory. Let it be kept in mind that it is essential to reform the black child with the white. All up and none down is the safest plan.
EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.
Judging from the familiar inscription on the masthead of The Nashville Globe, we are led to believe that Editor D. A. Hart's flag is still there. Illinois Chrinicle.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE.
The tobacco season is now on in full and every stemery in the city is running at full capacity and all of them are working overtime. It is estimated that from this industry alone the wageearners are being paid each week in round numbers not less than $12,000 of this amount it would be fair estimate to say that the Negroes receive at least $6,000.
The question is what do they do with it and are the masses really benefited substantially? How many of them are buying a home or improving the one they have, what about starting a bank account? If their earnings were applied as above, then we would see many changes in the surrounding, conditions of affairs, and the general uplift of the moral, social, intellectual, and business of the Negroes of our city.
But as it seems the majority of them are only feeders for dives and cheap whiskey joints. The city court room is decorated each morning with a good size bunch of them who have been imbibing too freely in this social drink. Those who seem inclined to be a little more what they term high class are frequently visitors of other results calculated to degrade any young man. Summing it all up we are not startled at the remarks made by a white minister of the city a few days ago that Owensboro must repent or go to Hell.—Kentucky Reporter.
HARD ON IMPOSTORS.
The action of the Ministry's Conference Monday in taking Steps to put the stamp of disapproval upon loafing preachers who claim to be ordained Baptist ministers and who make it so hard for the divinely called man of God in the discharge of his religious duty, was not the limit of its operations, according to the infor of the Ministry's Conference. It appation gained from Chairman Clark pears that information reached the City Ministers' Meeting that Nashville was being gradually filled up with a worthless, indolent class of so-called preachers, who come here from other cities and the surrounding country and impose not only on the colored people of the community, but make themselves obnoxious to the white people, some of them soliciting funds for churches that do not exist, for charitable institutions that have not been organized or chartered, and for widows and orphans' homes that have no existence whatever. Others, it is said, are working themselves into parts of congregations and causing dissatisfaction among the members, endangering the unanimity that existed in the membership. "Nashville has been imposed upon long enough and we will have none of this foolishness any longer. We purpose to drive them out and keep them out by persuasion if we can, by force if we must," declared Dr. Clark in the meeting Monday. This remark pleased the entire conference. The Rev. Dr. Haynes will co-operate with him, as well as the other leading members, in taking steps that will not only purify the ministerial atmosphere, but will keep it so.
Other matters taken up Monday were the purposed meeting of the white and Negro ministers of the city this month and the continuance of the inter-racial meetings once each quarter.

Widow's Right to Dower Against Heirs and Creditors: Can a widow be deprived of her dower right in her husband's property by the heirs giving a mortgage on it, or by the creditors of her husband? Subscriber, Pennsylvania.
The widow's right to dower in the land of her deceased husband is superior to the rights of his creditors except as to those debts which are secured by a mortgage signed by both husband and wife. So, also, her rights can not be affected by any action taken by the heirs; and regardless of any mortages or other conveyances given by them, she is entitled to have her portion set off to her by metes and bounds.
Legal Holidays; Duty to Work On: Where a man is hired by the month or year and he fails to work on legal holidays, is he entitled to full pay? L. C., Michigan. The effect of the establishment of a legal holiday by act of Congress or of the state Legislature is, as a general rule, merely to suspend business in the various departments of the Federal or of the state governments, as the case may be, and to give the employees of such government a holiday. The act does not of itself affect private business or private employments, and in the absence of a special agreement as to whether the employee is to work on holidays, the parties are presumed to contract for services in accordance with the general custom of the community in that particular line of business or labor.
POULTRY YARD.
February is the "bantam month"— short but very prominent.
Those who failed to attend a poultry show this season certainly missed a great treat.
If the hens do not lay by February there must be something wrong in the management.
Every farmer should grow better poultry. It is better to have good quality than large quantity.
This month, in shipping eggs for hatching, each egg should be wrapped in newspaper and placed in a basket that is doubly lined with newspaper and packed with excelsior.
Peter Tumbledown believes in fresh air; that's the reason, he says, he allows his fowls to roost outdoors all winter. Peter himself, however, prefers toasting his shins at the corner store.
F. White, one of Our Folks, has turned the merits of the hen into rhyme. Read what he says:
The hen has has many useful things,
Including feathers, neck and wings.
And white meat, dark meat, wish,
bone less.
bone, legs,
And stuffing, side-bone, gizzard, eggs
She does the very best she's able,
To make us satisfied at table.
WATER IN THE BARN.
The Advantages of Such a Convenience Are Many.
There is nothing on the farm that pays a greater interest on the cost than a water supply in the barn, especially a system that provides tempered drink to the cows and other stock in their stalls. The methods generally in use in former times and still prevalent in many sections, might have sufficed in the days when a winter dairy was almost unknown—when cows were expected to go dry in the late fall and subsist upon roughage throughout the winter.
What farmer of adult years does not have recollections of pumping water, perhaps from a deep well into an ice-rimmed trough for fifteen or twenty head of stock, and of the cattle horning each other out of the way, as with trembling flanks and arched backs they sought drink at the icy fountain. Or, perhaps there was an easier way, that of driving the cows down an icy or snow-covered lane to the brook, it being oftentimes necessary to break the ice before the creatures could have access to the water beneath. One such trip was sufficient to make a marked decrease in the milk supply, to say nothing of the increased demand upon the feed chest to replenish the wasted caloric.
It requires some expense and often some engineering skill to supply running water in the stalls, and it calls for ambition and energy to provide hot water for tempering the cold drafts, or a supply of tempered water; but the time and cost will be much more than made good at the milk pail. Recently a good housewife complained in our hearing that a week's absence, from home cost her the early winter egg production of a large flock, owing to the careless, irregular feeding and more careless watering that went on at a critical time in her absence. The loss is vastly greater when cows are compelled to stand in raw winds or storms to drink ice-water in the mid-
winter. Anybody can prove this by a very simple test.
Since the winter dairy is now so generally profitable owing to the better prices and the silo and other helps for carrying it on, it is worth while to take pains with the drink; to do otherwise is an extravagant waste of feed and time.
FANNIE WOOD'S POULTRY TALK.
Throw some clover or alfalfa hay where the hens can get to it. They will relish it these days when green stuff is scarce.
Chaffy straw is plentiful on most farms. Don't be stingy with it in the scratching shed.
Securing hatches at a time of the year when it is too early to get them with hens, is one thing that makes the incubator and brooder profitable machines.
Above all things, do not buy an incubator without its twin-brother, the brooder. Both are needed to make a success of the early chick crop. A brooder house is needed for even an outdoor brooder early in the season. This building should be handy, where the chicks can be looked after without taking too many steps. See that the nest of the early sitter is airtight. This can be accomplished by placing a sheet of heavy paper in the bottom. Sprinkle the paper well with coal-oil to discourage lice, and use plenty of straw. Do not give eggs to an early broody hen until she is really broody, as hens, like the weather at this season of the year, are rather changeable.
Of all dishheartening things, poor hatches and puny chicks are the limit. To get good hatches and strong chicks it is necessary to have a high state of vigor in the parent stock. Both male and female should be well matured and well developed. Fowls will transmit any weakness to their offspring as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
PEPPER BOX WELL SHAKEN.
Some men want their wives to live like Turks—stay in the rear and never look out. Such men don't deserve wives.
He that never changed any of his opinions never corrected any of his mistakes.
Fodder set around the pigpen, and propped, will save food by preventing shivering and screaming. A comfortable hog doesn't make its voice heard a mile away.
Some warm day scrub the pigs with castile soap and warm water, using a good scrub-bingbrush. It rids them of mange; and a mangy, lousy pig won't grow.
The old adage, "Do nothing hastily, but catching fleas," is wise. A man can be badly mistaken on appearances and act hastily to his own loss and sorrow. Stop, investigate and think.
If the barn is destroyed by fire, better look around to see if it was not caused by a spark from your pipe instead of spontaneous combustion. Then burn the pipe and make a new start all around.
I never knew how much dish-water and table waste I was losing until I myself took to saving it for the pigs. Why, in an average family, the leftover bits, rinds to be boiled, etc., fed four pigs.
Did you ever try to use one of the knives your wife has to deal with in the kitchen? Just try it. Then have a session with the grindstone. After that you won't let her knives get so dull again. And you ought not to, either.
Mend the kitchen steps. Hardly a farmhouse but has a broken step or porch. At this writing, near my place, my aunt is suffering with a broken arm just because of such carelessness, and as she weighs several hundred pounds it bids fair to be serious.
It sounds all right when you are told that it is a good rule never to remind a man of what you think he would rather forget; but suppose he had owed you a few hundred dollars for more than six months, and never even mentioned the loan. Is silence golden under those circumstances?
How about the big wagon? Wouldn't a little paint do it good? Take it in on the big barn floor, wash the parts well, take it all to pieces, get some good, smooth paint and a brush, and go at it yourself. You can make your wagon last years longer in this way, and it looks so much nicer, too.
When only a barefooted farm-boy I managed to earn a silver dollar—the first I ever had. I filed a peculiar notch in the rim. Not long since I sold some things at a store, and in payment got back the very same coin, worn smooth. Seventeen long years, fraught with toil and sorrow since a careless boy I marked the coin!
You can positively tell a man's character from the kind of dog he keeps. A mean man will keep a savage dog; a careless one, worthless dog; a lazy man, a poodle or slut; and a good-humored neighbor that you can tie to, a good dog. An indifferent farmer keeps hounds, and a poor man more dogs than dollars; but progressive men of all trades keep an obedient, watchful, safe animal.

LOVE THE KEY OF ALL KING-
DOMSs., <
Love is the light and sunshine of
life. We cannot fully enjoy ourselves
or anything else, unless some one we
Jove enjoys it with us; even if we
are alone, we store up our enjoyments
in hope to share them hereafter with
one we love. Love lasts all through
life, and adapts itself to every age,
in childhood, in manhood, for wife
and throughout for brothers, sisters,
relatives and friends. Nor must the
love of animals be altogether omitted.
Love will make men dare to die for
their loved women as well a5 men.
The origin of love has puzzled the
philosophers almost as much as the
origin of evil. Love at first sight
sounds like an imprudence and yet
is almost a revelation. True love
‘will not be unreasonable or exacting.
Love is brittle and will not stand
much of a jar.

ESSENTIAL QUALITIES—YOUNG
GIRLS,
“Do not waste your time on a lazy
‘man or one who cannot keep a job.”
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1911.
Every one of you would do well to
bear it in mind: You have all seen
women whose lives were ruined by be-
ing tied to lazy, shiftless husbands.
You have seen the misery of homes
where the head of the house was a
gooi-for-nothing, who could not be re-
Tied upon to provide the barest neces-
sities. And you have seen the home
where there has been extravagance
when the father worked and poverty
when he did not, The woman mar-
ried to a man of that stamp never
knows where she stands; her nerves
are constantly on the’ rack; she
Knows that no matter how good her
husband's position may be he will
jose it through incompetency, 01
changeableness on his part. So you
see, girls, it ‘s of the utmost impor
tance to your future happiness that
you do not throw yourself away on
men of elther of these types! Bvery
|man, whether he be rich or poor
should have some work to do. The
lidle man is of no use to any body
| He might Just as well not exist a:
[far as usefulness goes, in fact,
would be better if he did not, as hi
sets a bad example to other men
‘The ordinary, every-day, lazy mar
that we come in contact with has no
money to back his laziness, Wher
|ho marice, his wife has to suppor
|him. He probably makes love very
| well—why — shouldn't het—he ha
|nothing else to do. Keep away fron
such men, girls, and keep them away
|from you; no matter how cajolin:
their tale of love may be. There ar
better things in life for you than mar
|rlage to the shiftless, good-for-nothin,
type of men.—American Negro.
THE WAY 10 OVERGONE.
He that overcometh shall not be
hurt of the second death.
‘The question of life and death is
the most imp. rtant to the human fam-
ily, Everybody works to that effect.
No one cares particularly for death.
or has any special love for death.
Death makes nothing which was not
good before; hence the suicide finds
no pleasure in taking his own life.
“Can't stop here.” Read! His is a
dead hope, Even the lower animals
dread death and cling to life. The
fowls of the cir shrink from death,
When a man is separated from his
wife permanently they are dead to
each other. Just so it 1s with the
man who is out of God. He is dead
to God and God to him, When a
man leaves this world his spirit sepe-
yates from his body and takes its
flight to its destination. The end,
death, means separation from God for
ever. If the soul has made no prepa
ration, the second death is a worse
death than the first. ‘The soul does
exist and is conscious of it, otherwise
it could not experience joy and sor
row, When brought before God evers
‘thought, word or action, from the day
of man’s birth to his death is record
ed. If he has done his best the ac
count baiances in his favor; if not
God deals with him according to his
deeds. It is not what you said o1
what you did, but what you really
‘were that will count with God. Re
‘member the subject; “He that over
‘cometh shall not be hurt by the sec
ond death.”
| There are three foes with whic!
man must battle in this life: Ist, th
world; 2nd., the flesh, and third, th
devil. God did not intend that w
should enjoy this world or the thing
provided therein for the man’s com
fort, for the principles of this worl
are against God, When a man’s sou
1s converted, that does not mean th
flesh; the flesh has all the passion:
it ever had; has absolutely undergon
no change an. will undergo none un
til the mortal puts on immortality
How then can we deal with th
flesh? By adhering to the spiri
which controls the flesh, and by the
power which is in us. Man would
fall into many pits and bypaths did
he not heeq the command of the spir-
it which bids him come. The spint
acts upon matters thus giving the
man who 1s destious of doing right
an opportunity to do so. A great
many people think they can make
friends with the devil. But there is
no compromise, He will tell you all
sorts of things and was never known
to tell the truth. You have three
‘weapons with which to fight this bat
tle. The first weapon is God the Fa
ther; second, God the Son, and third
God the Holy Ghost, Faith, love and
obedience will conquer all your strug
gles and hardships and enable you tc
‘overcome death,

THE LORD'S SUPPER
—————
wx
a Congregation can have its wants
supplied by securing one of our Quar-
druple-Plated Table Silver ware Com-
- munion 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 com-
- munion set while others use an individual
set. Roth are appropriate and well-recom-
mended. One is no reflection upon the other.

DAIRY AND STOCK,
Are you harboring unawares any
thousand-pounds-of-butter cows? Look
alive and ascertain just. what your
cows are doing.
If there are any ice-covered depres-
sions in the barn or stable yard, keep
them sprinkled with ashes or saw-
dust. Better a little forethought
than the loss of a $200 horse or a $75
cow.
If you are bothered with hay-seeds
and dust sifting through the floor of
‘the mows and being deposited on the
‘backs of your horses and cows, re-
solve that you will put in a tighter
floor before another winter.
; A horse with four absolutely sound
legs is worth in the market almost
whatever the owner chooses to ask
for him. This being the case, atten-
tidn to the colt’s feet, and to the
shoeing later, is well worth while.
‘For many years hogs were regard-
ed as a by-product of the farm, but
to-day they are one of the main in
come producers in many sections.
Yet too often they are cared for as
though ‘they were still a by-product
of little account.
With butter going off at fifty cents
a pound there is good profit in a win
ter dairy. Just as good butter can
be made in the winter as in any other
season. Cleanliness is the watch
word, and fresh cows are important
It is hard making butter of any kind
with “strippers.”
FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL REPORTED

Sarah Jane Stewart, aged 5 years,

The church was beautifully decorated in Jackson vines, ferns and cut flowers. No pains were spared to make this one of the swellest affairs of the season. The bride and groom were met in the vestibule by Dr. G. R. Norman and Prof. W. B. Meredith and escorted to a handsome booth made of filmy jac and Jackson vines where they were to receive their congratulations and visitors which were many. After they were seated a short programme was rendered, consisting of vocal and instrumental music by Mrs. Lou Mason, Mrs. L. J. Buford, the groom's sister. Prof. W. B.

SHELBYVILLE NOTES.
The talk of the town is the coming play to be given by the students of Turner Normal College, which takes place Tuesday, February 14th, at the City Auditorium. The play is entitled "Beyond Pardon." It will be conducted under the direction of Miss Dora A. Jones, who will play the part of the leading lady. Dr. J. A. Kumler, president of Walden University, was in town Sunday, and preached at 11 o'clock and lectured at 3 p. m., at the M. E. Church. His sermon was a strong one and highly enjoyed by all. His lecture in the afternoon was pronounced by many as the best upon the subject that they had ever listened to. The students of Turner Normal College turned out to both services, accompanied by the president and members of the faculty.
Rev. O'Nell, who formerly pastored the Mt. Zion Baptist Church a number of years ago, has been called to serve the First Baptist Church here, and has accepted. Rev. O'Nell is one of the strongest preachers of the Baptist persuasion in the state. We welcome him to our town. The Nightingale Quartette, of Turner Normal College, has returned from a very successful and pleasant trip, having visited the towns of Lewisburg, Columbia and Mt. Pleasant. So highly pleased were the people of Columbia, upon their first engagement, that they voted the Quartet a return engagement for Monday night. The church was packed to its utmost capacity. Little "Midget" Saunders was the center of attraction. Miss Dora A. Jones spent Saturday and Sunday at Wartrace visiting the Ervin family.
Miss Mabel McKay spent Saturday and Sunday at Haley visiting Mrs. J. A. Crump.

OAKLAND, NOTES.
This springlike weather makes business as well as pleasure stir in our little town. The constant incoming of the neighboring farmers for farming implements tells us that these fine days are having their effect on them. Some are making furrows already. In keeping with the regular custom, our streets were thronged Saturday. Of the many shoppers who were in were Prof. W. McPerson, Mr. Booker Flippin and A. J. Montague. All of whom were from the Warren vicinity. Mr. Flippin was also looking after the selling of timber. Much timber is sold at good prices here.
Mr. H. C. Owens and Sons' department store was crowded from early morning to dusky evening. You will not wonder at such a crowd of our people when I tell you that the above named is the only colored store in Oakland. Mr. Owens receives patronage from many of the whites here. They are doing good business here. The very unsettled weather of last week caused the sick list to increase. Dr. M. V. Umble has been constantly on the go. Our public school has a large attendance. So much so that Miss Ether B. Howell will be called to assist Miss Flippin, the teacher. She reports that the pupils are making rapid progress. About fifteen will be ready for a high school course next term.
We had excellent services yesterday. Notwithstanding the morning being gloomy, a goodly number of little folks as well as grown up people found their way to Sunday-school. The lesson was justly treated by a corps of earnest teachers. Rev. W. A. Rodgers, pastor in charge, gave an excellent review of the lesson. Miss Virginia Caldwell, one of Haywood County's public school teachers, was present, and also made some excellent remarks.
The Oakland church is being beautified on the interior, which will be at a cost of $500.
Cupid is yet busy. Mr. Moses Person and Miss Pearl Gaither fell victims to his dart and took a sail on the holy sea of matrimony. Mr. O. W. Walton and Miss Ratye Owens also tied the final knot a few days ago and are at home to their friends.
Several Oaklanders boarded the train to-day for a trip to Oklahoma. Among them were Messrs. H. C. Owens and T. Topley, who were to go to Oklahoma City; Mr. C. C. Smith and brother, also Misses Marye and Fannye Newborn will go to Watonga. They will be gone about three weeks. Mr. Hill Raymon, who has been on the sick list, is convalescent. Mrs. Rachel Earls and Mrs. Cody are not on the sick list. Mrs. Cody is better today as a result of an operation done by Dr. Umble yesterday. Mrs. S. J. Williams and sister, Miss

Blaine Boyd sang in a very touching way, "Thy Will Be Done." Several large and beautiful floral designs from friends and employees of the Publishing Board attested the esteem in which Mr. Ridley was held by his associates.

TEXAS.
The funeral services of Dr. Clarence Gowdey, who died in El Paso, Texas, last week, were held from St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday aftnoon of this week.
Dr. Gowdey had been in ill health for several months and had gone to Texas in the hope that his condition would be benefited. His wife accompanied him and was with him when the end came.
When the news of Dr. Gowdey's death reached this city his mother, Mrs. Saunders, and uncle, Dr. J. Ira Watson, left immediately for Henderson to meet the wife with the remains, on their arrival there. Mr. and Mrs. Cabell, the parents of Mrs. Gowdey met them in St. Louis, M. and accompanied them to Henderson where impressive services were held, before the start to Nashville was made.
Dr Gowdey was a medical graduate of Meharry Medical College and had for a number of years enjoyed a lucrative practice in Henderson, Ky., where he had a beautiful home. He was a native of Nashville, being the son of Mrs. Taylor Saunders, of High street, who is a member of the well-known Watson family of this city. Several years ago Dr. Gowdey was married to Miss Viola Cabell, of Henderson, Ky., who survives him. The body, accompanied by several members of the family and loving friends, arrived in Nashville Tuesday night and was conveyed to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Saunders.
Wednesday afternoon a large gathering of friends assembled in the auditorium of St. Paul Church to show their last respects to one who was so well loved.
The services were conducted by Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, who spoke in the highest terms of the life and work of the deceased. Very appro-
priate music was rendered by the choir. Many beautiful floral designs came from friends far and near, as did also letters of condolence.

IMPROVEMENTS AT GREENWOOD.
There is being quite a deal of improvement made at Greenwood Park. The grand stand which was destroyed by fire over a year ago, is in course of erection, but will not be as large as the old one. It will be more modern in every respect. There has also been erected a modern kitchen and an up-to-date dining-hall for the convenience of the patrons, who will visit the park during the summer, as well as for the handling of the large crowd that is expected to attend the chautauqua. Another improvement that has been added to the park and which will prove an attraction is the opening of a riding school which was announced by the manager of the park last week. The school will be in charge of a gentleman who owns a horse that will rival the celebrated Jim Key in intelligence. It is contemplated that lessons in riding and driving will be given each afternoon as soon as the weather opens up. Scores of additional shade trees are also being put out. All of these improvements are being made so the park can open with the beginning of the spring and summer season.

REV. A. J. STOKES, OF ALABAMA.
REV. A. J. STOKES, OF ALABAMA.
There was in the city this week the Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama. Dr. Stokes is treasurer of the National Baptist Convention and is chairman of the Union-Review Publishing Committee.
It is not definitely known just what the mission of Dr. Stokes in Nashville was, but it is rumored that he was here trying to make some definite arrangements that will continue the denomination's official organ as such, as each of the boards is supposed to contribute toward the maintenance of the editor's salary.
It was naturally thought he was here for that purpose, as well as to look after other features of the denominational work. Dr. Stokes, a number of years ago, pastored at Clarksville and was at that time well known in Nashville.

IN the shadowy ranks of those who marched to defeat or death or victory fifty years ago in the mighty conflict that convulsed this great nation, is there father or grandfather or uncle of yours? Would you like to see a photograph of him in that long ago day of his youth—a photograph that he never knew was taken? Perhaps we can show you one; and in any case, we can tell you a story, stranger than any detective fiction, of 3,500 priceless photographs that were lost and are found again.
3,500 Long Buried Photographs of the Civil War
THEY were taken by the greatest photographer in the United States of that day; they were bought by the United States Government for $30,000; they were buried in the War Department for 50 years—they are buried there still. But a duplicate set was kept by the photographer—who died poor and broken down; that duplicate set was knocked from pillar to post for nearly 50 years, until it was discovered by a New England collector. I. Pierpont Morgan tried to secure the collection—Ex-President Garfield and General Benjamin F. Butler said it was worth $150,000—yet with the help of the REVIEW of REVIEWS, the entire collection has been gathered into 10 great volumes and is placed within your reach at less than the value of one of the photographs. It is the one accurate, impartial history of the Civil War—for the camera cannot lie. It tells the story of the War you never heard before. Taken under protection of the Secret Service, these photographs bring to light thousands of little-known phases of the war; they penetrate to strange places and record strange things.
