NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. GIVEN BY DAVIDSON COUNTY FOR THE NORMAL County Court Votes That Amount Last Saturday RUNS TOTAL UP TO $80,000— SCHOOL WILL BE LOCATED NEAR THIS CITY—ACTION OF COURT AT SPECIAL SESSION SETTLES THE CASE DEFINITELY — HEATED DEBATE OVER THE QUESTION—EVERY INCH OF GROUND STUBBORNLY CON- TESTED—BEN CARR ON THE SCENE AT EVERY TURN—FINALLY TRIUMPHS. With but little opposition to the text of the proposition, which was a measure to allow the county of Davidson to issue an additional $20,000 to the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal School, the county court by a vote of 24 to 18 last Saturday passed the all-important resolution which carries with it an additional $20,000. This removes all doubt as to the location of the agricultural school within the county of Davidson and Middle Tennessee. The question had been under advisement and had been worked on by untiring, enthusiastic supporters of the measure from the time that the state board of education selected Davidson County as the provisional location, and conditioned upon the increasing of the $60,000 offer to $80,000. A special term of the court was called by County Judge Pollard to consider this matter. The court was called to order at 10 o'clock. Judge Pollard being absent, Squire W. G. M. Campbell was unanimously elected to preside over the session. The court room was crowded with magistrates representing the forty-odd districts of the county and with interested spectators who were eager to see what the outcome would be. Business men of both races, who showed their real interest in the future "Greater Nashville," were not slow to come to the call and to take an active interest in the entire proceedings. The resolution provided for an additional $20,000, and was introduced by Squire J. T. Nance. It was read by the clerk and in the main it asked simply for the issuance of $20,000 worth of bonds at a rate of interest not to exceed 5 per cent. While the clerk was reading this resolution, complete silence was maintained in the court. The throng of spectators took in every sentence of the resolution, which was signed by about twenty-five well known magistrates of the county. Immediately upon the finishing of the resolution, Squire Richardson offered an amendment to fix the rate of interest on the bonds at 4 per cent. This resolution met with a stormy sea. It was discussed pro and con and after some splendid speeches made by the pros and cons it went down in defeat. Another resolution was offered asking that the question be submitted to the voters of Davidson County. This was also voted down, as it was shown by Mr. E. E. Barthell, the Superintendent of the County Board, that such action would not be the best thing. He stated that the people of the county were interested and would support all that was for the development and the future welfare of the county. He made a striking impression upon the entire court and gained many supporters for the proposition to help the school. He declared that there was not time to call a special session and that this question must be decided that day, or the school would then go to Hamilton County, and that if the proposition to put it to the voters carried, it would be incurring a needless expense upon Davidson County, as the school would already be located. His beautiful statement that the state board's action in selecting Nashville was reactive, automatic and was the driving wedge that possibly turned the tide in favor of the resolution to appropriate the $20,000, that Davidson County has added much credit by appropriating the additional sum was evident from the applause that burst forth in very part of the court, when the vote on the final resolution was announced. Much credit is due the members of NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911. the court who favored the measure, such as Squires Cheek, Nance, Levine and a score of others who appeared to be unshaken in their determination to give to the Negroes every possible advantage to make good citizens. In explaining why he was there to support the measure, Mr. Barthell said that he was invited by Mr. Ben Carr, and that if he would come and support the measure he would pay him. He said that when he asked Mr. Carr what he would pay, Mr. Carr replied, "Good citizenship." "Thus," said Mr. Barthell, "I am here in the interest of good citizenship." At the conclusion of the court's session Mr. Ben Carr, a practical farmer, also president of the Colored Normal School Association, located in Nashville, more than two years ago, and an untiring worker in behalf of the Normal School, was invited to address the court. In a few well-chosen words he thanked them individually and then collectively, for the appropriation. Mr. Henry A. Boyd was also introduced and said that he wanted to thank the court on behalf of the forty thousand Negroes of Davidson County, who had watched silently but hopefully to see what encouragement would be given the deserving youth of the state and the county. Among other representatives of the race who were present at the court room were J. C. Napier, T. Clay Moore, J. D. Crenshaw, G. B. Taylor, W. S. Ellington, Prof. Talley, W. P. Rose and R. H. Boyd, all members and supporters of the organization, who have been at work on the location of the school. The court adjourned at eleven o'clock. PEOPLE'S STEAM LAUNDRY GOES UNDER THE HAMMER At noon on Wednesday of last week the machinery, fixtures and good will of the People's Steam Laundry was sold at public auction for the small sum of $350. The lucky purchaser was Mr. W. W. D. Kirby. This sale breaks all records. The plant was well worth $2,000, but bidding was very slow, and under the rule governing such sales the auctioneer was compelled to knock the plant down to the highest bidder. The new owner will open up for business at the earliest date possible. It could not positively be stated just where the plant will be located, but the owner prefers to remain in the old building if arrangements can be made with the present occupant. This sale is the result of an attempt on the part of the owners of the old company to make a deal with the Link's Laundry people whereby the People's Laundry would take over the Link's Laundry, January 1, 1911. When the time came for the Linck people to surrender they were not ready. They then agreed to do the work of the People's Laundry, it is said, but when it was carried to them they said they could not handle it. Consequently the People's Laundry when it woke up found itself out of business, the sale Wednesday being the final result. The facts as to who will compose the new company could not be learned, but some of the members of the old company expressed themselves as being desirous of becoming interested with the new owner. This laundry has been operated here several years first under the name of the Economical Laundry and later as the People's Steam Laundry. BIHOPS TAKE NO DEFINITE AC TION ON UNITY The Methodist bishops and general officers who went from this city to the councils and federation in Mobile, Ala., last week have returned home. They report a very harmonious meeting, both in the several councils and in the federation of the bishops of the three churches. A Globe representative interviewed Bishop Tyree of the African Methodist and Bishop Phillips of the Colored Methodist on the question of consolidating the three Negro churches. It was learned that no definite steps were taken looking to that end. It was stated that the plan of transferring preachers would be more forcibly impressed; the publishing of one hymn book and one catechism be taken under advisement. The next meeting will be held in 1913. REV, C. T. WALKER, D. D., WILL DELIVER PRINCIPAL ADDRESS AT THE MEHARRY COMMENGEMENT The principal address on the occasion of the Commencement of Meharry Medical College at Ryman Auditorium, April 25, will be delivered by the Rev. C. T. Walker, D. D., of Augusta, Ga., who is known in this country and abroad as the "Black Spurgeon." HITCHGOCK HITCHGOCK FLOORED BY PUBLISHERS WHO TAKE HIM TO TASK Show That They are First Class Postage Producers CARRY ADS WHICH INCITE MUCH LETTER-WRITING—INDIRECTLY REDUCE DEFICIT—COMMITTEE INDULGES IN PLAIN TALK TO POSTMASTER GENERAL—CRITICISE THE SINGLE IDEA METHOD—EXACT FIGURES PRESENTED TO BACK UP CLAIM—STANDARD MAGAZINES TAKEN AS GUIDE—ADVERTISEMENTS PAY FOR THE PUBLISHING—PEOPLE GET THE BENEFIT. Washington, Feb. 14.—The reply of the Periodical Publishers' Association to the statement which Postmaster-General Hitchcock issued last night in support of his proposal to increase the rate of postage on the advertising portions of large magazines, was made to night in the form of a statement issued here by the postal committee of the publishers' association. "Mr. Hitchcock entirely ignores," the committee says "the fact that second-class mail is the chief producer of the first-class postage, that finally saves the deficit of the postoffice balance sheet. The publishers show advertisements on which the postoffice department has made 144 per cent profit from carrying magazine advertisements. "So Mr. Hitchcock goes to the magazines, constituting, as he says, one fifth of the second-class mail and, owing to their small number of pieces to the pound, much the least costly class to the postoffice department, insisting that they pay the whole deficit. The injustice is aggravated by the fact that it is peculiarly magazine national mail-order advertising that saves the postoffice balance sheet by originating first-class postage. "Mr. Hitchcock instances one magazine—perhaps the most profitable periodical in the country—to show that this periodical's recent increase in advertising rate result in a profit of $917,106, or enough to pay its postage bill. The absurdity of this sort of long-distance accounting is obvious when it is explained that the American magazines cost to edit, manufacture, deliver and administer nearly twice as much as the publisher nets from subscriptions. "The postal committee of the Periodical Publishers' Association has obtained the exact figures from the books of the account of the five standard monthly magazines which carried the most advertising in 1909. These figures of profits are on file in the department of commerce and labor. The aggregate final net profit of these five magazines are less than one-tenth of the aggregate advertising incomes. "The reader gets the balance. This operation of large advertising receipts passed over to the reader in the shape of a better magazine than his subscription money will make, edit and deliver accounts for the phenomenon of the low-priced, widely-read American periodicals. "On Mr. Hitchcock's own figures—in his statement—showing that the proposed postal change would mean only two cents a pound postage on the whole magazine—though, as the bill stands, it would mean more—it is easily calculated that the proposed increase would raise less than $2,500,000 for the postoffice department, from which must be subtracted the great new expense of administering this complex and discriminatory measure. "On the other hand, it would entirely wipe out the profits of many periodicals, magazines, agricultural papers, religious papers and trade journals and seriously cripple the balance. This has been made plain by hundreds of publishers who have communicated with their congressmen, giving their exact profits." The periodical publishers say they do not consider it necessary to discuss Mr. Hitchcock's attempt to question the official figures of the publishers' profit by this citation of "the wild guesses of a concern trying to sell stock to the public by mail." JOKER PLACES NEGRO IN RACE. Chicago, February 14.—What is said to have been a joke placed Chas. Caston, a Negro waiter, in the race for the Republican nomination for Mayor at the primaries to occur February 28th. Incidentally the filing of Caston's petition deprived John F. Smulski of the coveted last place on the ballot. The Smulski petition was filed six minutes before midnight, when it was thought there were no other candidates in sight, midnight being the time limit for filing nominations. Caston's petition was filed two minutes later by a man who gave his name as Joseph Snowden. Snowden declined to give any information regarding the petition, but when Caston was reached by telephone he declared the whole affair must be a joke. CASTON DECLINES CANDIDACY. Charles E. Caston, Entered by Friends for Mayor of Chicago, Withdraws. Chicago, Feb. 15.—Charles E. Caston, whose friends without his knowledge filed a petition with the election commissioners four minutes before the final filing time of candidates for mayor last night, to-day withdrew the petition. If his name had remained he would have occupied the coveted last place in the list of republican candidates. John F. Smulski, who sought that place, had watched until six minutes before the filing office closed and was much worried when he learned Caston's name was to succeed his. NEGROES GUARD JAIL AT STAN FORD, KY.—PREVENT LYNCHING Special to The Globe: Stanford, Ky.. February 16.—A squad of Negroes, heavily armed, squad of Negroes heavily armed, last night, prepared to resist any attempt of a white mob to lynch Louis Gregory and Curly Johnson, held for the robbery of three white tobacco farmers on the Danville Pike last Monday night. The action of the Negroes had the effect of warding off an attempt to lynch the prisoners. At midnight a posse of armed white and scouted about the jail. They admen who are neighbors of the highwaymen's victims drove in town vised against the attempt to storm the jail, as it was evident that the slightest move against the Negroes would have resulted in a fierce clash. Sheriff McCarthy and a squad of deputies stood guard-in front of the jail during the night. REV. TAYLOR IN LEXINGTON, KY. Rev. Preston Taylor, who is conducting the revival meetings at the Constitution Street Christian Church, is the beloved pastor of Lea Avenue Christian Church, Nashville, Tenn., where he has served about 24 years. He built this church house and organized this congregation. The building cost $25,000, and has every convenience, being steam heated, with lecture rooms, reception parlors, kitchen, etc. The congregation is complete with C. W. B. M., Y. P. S. C. E., Sunday-school, Buds of Promise and other organizations. Aside from his church work Rev. Taylor is a successful business man, being the sole owner of the largest undertaking establishment in the country among colored people. He also owns a beautiful cemetery of 40 acres, and a pleasure park. Last year in order to induce the railway company to extend their line one mile to his park, he, at a cost of three thousand dollars, secured the right-of-way, set back the fences and did all the grading. Rev. Taylor rarely accepts an invitation to leave home to do evangelistic work, and the Lexington church is to be congratulated in securing his services. THE DALLAS EXPRESS DAMAGED BY, EIRE, AND WATER. Between 9:30 a. m. and noon of Tuesday, February 7, fire broke out in a pool hall next door west of the Dallas Express office. The fire worked the complete destruction of the pool hall and damaged more or less the whole block. The deluge of water stopped the flames just as they were entering the office of the Express, but the water damage was quite as bad as the fire, entailing considerable loss to stock and work already finished. The loses other than those above mentioned were sustained by Mr. Paul Davis, barber; Jno. Dixon, restauranteur; S. T. Simpson, tailor; King & Jordan, tailors. The fire department did good work, and in stopping the fire where they did saved a whole block. EARLY FIRE EARLY FIRE GAUSES GREAT LOSS AT MERCY HOSPITAL Dr. Boyd's Automobile Totally Destroyed. LOSS SUSTAINED OF BETWEEN $5,000 AND $6,000—SPREAD OF FLAMES CHECKED BY QUICK ACTION OF PROPRIETOR—HOSPITAL OLDEST IN STATE FOR NEGROES—PEOPLE DEEPLY INTERESTED — LIBERAL IN SUPPORT OF INSTITUTION — DR. BOYD MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT PATIENTS — HUBBARD HOSPITAL TO THE RESCUE. A fire that originated in the mechanic room at Mercy Hospital, 811 Fourth avenue, South, shortly after 6 o'clock last Tuesday morning, caused a property loss of between $5,000 and $6,000 before it was controlled by the fire department. Five patients were in the main building at the time of the fire, but were removed in safety to Hubbard Hospital, opposite Meharry Medical College, before the flames reached the main structure, which is a two-story brick. The frame wings to the rear of the hospital were a smoldering mass of charred timbers by 8 o'clock, and the automobile was a tangeld mass of iron and steel. Dr. Boyd, the proprietor and manager of the hospital, who was in the building at the time of the alarm, hurried to the rear of the main building and closed the doors opening out on the frame wings, and thereby retarded the blaze somewhat, although the main building was considerably damaged. The furniture and equipment in the nurses' home were lost. There was no insurance on the furniture, but Dr. Boyd carried insurance on the building equal to the loss, and the automobile, a Hudson roadster, was also insured for $1,000. Engines 5, 6, 9, Hose 1 and Truck 1 responded to the alarm. Mercy Hospital was he oldest institution of the kind owned and operated by Negroes in this State. It was established by that thoroughgoing and public-spirited Dr. R. F. Boyd. When opened, the people at once manifested an interest in it. The ladies of the city organized boards and did a noble work for humanity, in the way of fitting up wards and beautifying the building in every way. The people were liberal in their gifts to the hospital, whereby the managing committee was enabled to provide for the sick in a way that they would not have been without such help. Dr. Boyd, when seen by a Globe representative, showed great concern about the welfare of the patients who were compelled o be removed at a time when they most needed to be at ease. The patients were all carried to the new Hubbard Hospital, where every precaution was taken to guard against a relapse. It was learned that the proprietor will at once set about to rebuild Mercy Hospital bigger and more modern in every way. SERVICES AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY MORNING. The pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Rev. W. S. Ellington, passor, will be occupied Sunday morning at 11 o'clock by Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Louisville, Ky., Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention.

ARMY BACON ON THE RIND. (This poem is dedicated to my friend who died on a forced march on the 21st of April, 1900, in the Philippines, of cholera. He had been in the service 22 years as a soldier. He left a wife of exceptional abilities.—Author.) A soldier in the Ninth Cavalry lay upon his canvas bunk. On a soap-box there beside him lay a bunk of army punk: He tried to gnaw it feebly as his face turned ashen gray, For the soldier boy was starving in the Philippines far away. His comrade knelt beside him to hear what he might say; And the dying soldier faltered, "Bring me a bunch of hay. For my horse gets food in plenty though the grub is left behind, And I must starve on Bacon, army bacon on the rind." And as he lay there gasping, with the minutes fleeting past, He tried to gnaw a rubber boot as he feebly gasped his last, Then softly spoke his comrade, "Bring here a cake of soap. For they eat it in the frozen North, and while there's life there's hope: But, Charley, dear, I can't but think my race is nearly run. Life's feeble spark will be sniffed out ere the setting of the sun. Take a message and a token to the dear ones left behind, That I have starved on bacon, army bacon on the rind. 'Twas that evening just at sunset, as the flag slid down the pole, We bowed our heads in silence, for the passing of a soul. Next day beneath the bamboo's shade we laid him to his rest, And we gave him martial honors, with the flag across his breast, But at twilight, by the river, I heard his comrade say If he had had a soldier's ration, he would be alive to-day. God's curse on the man who did it, tho' his purse with coin be lined, May he feed on prunes and bacon, with the bacon on the rind. In a trim Georgia farmhouse sits a woman old and gray. In her hand she holds a letter which came by the mail to-day, And as she reads it slowly her eyes are filled with tears. It tells of how her darling in the Philippines met his death. While defending flag and country 'mid the battle's heated breath. But she don't know how it happened, and perhaps the fates are kind. For her dear boy died on bacon, army bacon on the rind. —An Old Student of Fisk University of 1898. TO RESTRICT PRESS. Mr. Houk Introduces Bill to Compete Newspapers to Publish Replies. Newspapers in Tennessee will be compelled to give free space for replies to criticisms of persons, firms or corporations if a bill introduced in the senate yesterday by Mr. Houk passes the legislature. The first section of the bill provides "That it shall be a misde NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911 meanor for any newspaper in Tennessee to publish any criticism of any person, firm or corporation in Tennessee unless said newspaper gives free of charge the same space for reply to said person, firm or corporation, and gives said reply the same publication that it gives the criticism." Section 2 says: "Be it further enacted, That all newspapers and their managers and editors violating this act shall be subject to indictment as other misdemeanors, and on conviction shall pay a fine of not less than two hundred ($200) dollars, nor more than ($500) dollars, and imprisonment in the county jail not less than three (3) months." The bill is to take effect from and after its passage. IMMACULATE SISTERS NO 5. SOUTH NASHVILLE LODGE.

We make this public statement for the satisfaction of his family and all interested parties that they may know how he stood. We gave the family $3.00 to show our appreciation of our deceased brother. ANDREW SUTTON, Chairman, 18 South Hill street. GOING TO THE PHILIPPINES. Word reached Nashville this week that Lieutenant W. W. E. Gladden, D. D., the senior chaplain of the four Negro regiments, had been ordered with his regiment to the Philippine Archipelago. The exact date of his leaving is not known, but it is understood that the regiment is under marching orders. In all probability the regiment will sail from San Francisco. Reports from Madison Barracks, Sackett Harbor, N. Y., where one of the colored regiments is located, indicate that the soldiers have made a splendid record for discipline. In fact, it is said that they hold the best record of any regiment that has been stationed in the East for over seventy-five years It will be remembered that Lieut. L. A. Carter, who was only recently appointed as a lieutenant, and who was pastoring a church at Knoxville, Tenn., is also stationed in the East. He in all probability will go to the Phillipines, but this is not confirmed. Both lieutenants are well known in Nashville, as they passed through the city last year en route to New York. MR. L. C. MOORE. OF MEMPHIS. Prominent among fraternal organizations and church workers of West Tennessee, who contemplate visiting Nashville in the near future, is Mr. L. C. Moore, of Memphis. Mr. Moore is President of the West Tennessee Sunday-School Convention, Deputy Grand Master of the I. O. L., President of the State B. Y. P. U., and a director of the Solvent Savings Bank. His visit here will be in connection with the State Sunday-School and B. Y. P. U. Convention, which is to be held in Nashville during the month of June. Advices from Memphis seem to indicate that Mr. Moore will be here arranging for these two state meetings. HOW LINCOLN GOT NOMINATION. Chicago, Feb. 13.—New and what are believed to be hitherto unpublished incidents concerning the politics which gave Abraham Lincoln the republican nomination for President the first time were told here to-day in an address before the Hamilton Club by Addison G. Proctor, of St. Joseph, Mich., who believes himself the only surviving member of the famous "split rail" convention. Mr. Proctor gave to one man, Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, the credit for forcing the nomination of Lincoln out of a chaotic, disorganized opposition to the regular candidate for the nomination, Wm. H. Seward, of New York. This is how Clay's influence was exerted, as related by Mr. Proctor. "When the convention opened, Mr. Seward's interests were in the hands of Thurlow Weed, and were well organized. The opposition of which Horace Greeley was the dominant figure, was absolutely without organization or community of desire. To show how much without aim we were working, I recall that Mr. Greeley said to us within thirty hours of the time for balloting, answering a question as to whom we would unite upon to oppose Seward: "I think well of Edward Bates, of Missouri; he is a strong man and I believe one of the best we could nominate." "How about Lincoln?" we asked. Greeley replied: "While Mr. Lincoln is an adroit politician, he lacks experience in public affairs, and while we are drifting toward a crisis I do not believe the country will trust a man so lacking in experience in national affairs. "We were discussing matters in the old Briggs House in Chicago with Mr. Clay and his mountain men from Western Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. Clay was a man of most CHURCH DIRECTORY.

BRYAN COMING. The announcement in the daily pa- — last week that the Hon. William ennings Bryan, several times a dem- ‘cratic nominee for the. presidency of the United States, would be in Nash- ville to-morrow and that he would be entertained at luncheon at the Her- mitage Hotel while here, under the auspices of the Y, M. C. A. brings to the minds of the Nashville people the notable Denver, Colorado, conven- tion, where it was thought that that notable gathering of politicians would speak “just one little word” encour- aging the Negroes, which would have no doubt caused thousands of Negro voters throughout the United States to cast their ballot for the straight democratic and natonal ticket, It also brings to the mind of the Nash- ville people the organization of Ne groes around the North and Hast that worked arduously to attain this “one little word” which never came. It ‘was said by those high up in authority that the noted editor of The Common- er, or presidential candidate on more than one occasion, wes in favor of putting something on his platform that would have recognized the Ne- gro voter of the United States as an American citizen. However favora. ble he might have been to this, it never came before the democratic convention, hence no inducement was ever offered. It has been noticed that throughout his many speeches the has been very silent most of the time with regard to the Negro ques: tion. His speech to-morrow will be watched by the citizens of Nashville yery closely. SELECTING INVITATIONS. Following out the usual custom of the graduating class of the Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical College, a committee is again out this year trying to select suitable designs jor the invitations for the class of 1911, which promises to equal, if not exceed the class of 1610 in point of numbers. It could not be learned who “would be awarded the contract for these invitations. Tt will be remembered that the class of 191) awarded the printing of the invitations to one. of the Negro printing houses of this city. The re- sult was that they received an entire- ly satisfactory job; but whether the commitise -this year ,will show, that same degree of Epa and race -pride that the p1 ge class showed is a question yet to be decided. Tt Weppens occasionally that the students have off years, and that In their zeal to do things differently, get the work done in the North and East, which thas not, whenever practised, reflected much credit upon the class ‘or the committee acting for the class. It was impossible this week to get in touch with any one in a position to know just who would get this con- tract. Severe criticism has been heaped upon whatever committee that totally ignored the competency of Ne- ‘gro printers to turn out a suitable invitation. Several years ago charges and counter-charges were made against one of the classes for their failure to recognize the fact that they were going out to practise among Negroes, and they had given the contract for the invi- tations to some firm in the Hast, where not a single Negro was em- ployed. The stand was taken by those making the criticism that at least four competent Negro printing houses were located in Nashville et- ther of which could turn out the class of work required for the invitations. But in spite of these criticisms, time and again these houses have been ig- nored. At the same time they are expected to hold themselves in readi- ness to do the highest grade of work. The class, as a rule, has remained in Nashville, mingling in the homes, visiting the churches and enjoying the society of the people among whom they are to practise, for at least four years, and it is generally regarded as a discredit and a lack of good taste, as well as shortsightedness on the part of the medical students who go out from the class to give the work for the occasion to an institution un. interested in their own welfare and success. DAVIDSON COUNTY TEACHERS. At the County Court House on last Saturday a meeting of the Davidson County ‘Teachers’ Association was held. The meeting was an important one, as it was the quarterly meeting of the association, commonly known as tho midwinter meeting. It was large- ly attended. ‘The principal speaker was the Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. B,, D. D,, pastor of the First Baptist Church ami edt torial secretary of the Baptist Pub- lishing Board, His address before the teachers was an eloquent one and was highly appreciated by the asso: clation. An excellent program was algo rendered, there being’. present quite a number of well-known edt: eators from the county and city. WILL ADDRESS CITY CONQUEST, On the fourth Sunday in this month Rey. Henry A. Boyd will address the Memphis City Conquest, which will hold its regular monthly meeting at the St. John Baptist Church in Mem- phis. Mr. Boyd is Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress and it is in the interest of their sixth annual ses- sion that he was invited to go to Memphis to speak, as Memphis pur- poses to send a large delegation to Meridian in June. —— WOMEN’S AUXILIARY TO MEET. There will be a regular monthly meeting of the Women’s Auxiliary to the Tennessee Colored State Fair on Monday afternoon at three o'clock at 447 Fourth avenue, North, which has been selected as their meeting place. ‘The ladies are perfecting splendid plans for the coming fair. It is their purpose to have a givater display of exhibits than ever before. Every sec- tion of the city will be worked for the purpose of attaining the desired results. The officials of the organi- zation with the membership, are en- couraged at the hearty support they are receiving in their plans. SUNDAY-SCHOOL CLASS EN TAINS, If the present plans, which are now under way, carry successfully there will be two entertainments given in the near future for the benefit of the well-known Sunday-school class No. 16, of Mount Olive Baptist Church. This class reports a membership of over sixty. It is their plan to give the first en- tertainment at the home of one of the members. Following closely on the heels of this will be a sacred con- cert. The concert is to be given at thd church. It is contemplated that the talent for this Sunday evening en- tertainment will be selected, in the main, from the class members. Much interest is being centered in the plans and several committees are at work on the details, which are to be given out next Sunday, as the regular monthly meeting of the class is to be held to-night at the residence of Mrs. Binkley, on Jefferson street. —— MURFREESBORO NOTES. , Miss Dilsie Butler, who, is. teaching at Lavergne, spent Friday at home ‘and Saturday at Bell Buckle, She je a ee a Pe” 6 ee Sse 5" THE LORD'S SUPPER eT MX poke 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. Both are appropriate and well-recom- mended.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911. Postage Rates. The bill pending in Congress to increase the rate of postage in second-class matter from one to four cents per pound is meeting with strong opposition by all publishers. The bill is the most drastic that has been before the Congress for many years. It was drawn under the direction of the Post-Master General, Mr. Hitchcock, and with the sanction of President Taft. It is a case of the publishers of the country against the official of the postoffice department. Mr. Hitchcock claims that the big magazines of the country are responsible for the deficit of the postoffice department, but the publishers cite that were it not for them the postal receipts would drop away below what they are now. That there is truth in this claim is evident to the most casual observer. There are very few people who do not order some thing during the year by mail, and there are fewer still who do not at some time write several letters inquiring about something they see advertized in a magazine or newspaper. If this bill goes into effect it will do more to stagnate business than anything that can possibly come upon the nation. The energy and thrift of the American people are kept alive through hthe newspaper and the magazine. It would be absolutely impossible for the people to know of the general progress that is being made by the nation other than through the knowledge gained of men and things, as told of and advertized in the newspapers and the magazines. Again, if it were possible for drummers to get into every community with their wares the cost for travel would be a hundred times more than it costs to send a letter through the mail. No set of publishers would suffer under this proposed rate as much as the Negro magazine publishers, all of whom publish Sunday-school magazines and church papers. These publishers are endeavoring to enlighten a benighted people, the poor and despised Negro of all would they experience great losses on their magazines, and if this new rate goes into effect the publishers will be compelled to increase the prices of their NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911 publications which means that at least fifty per cent of the Negroes will have to do without Sunday-school magazines and church papers, out of which they get Bible instruction. Mr. Hitchcock's bill may be drawn in a way to sound good to him and to President Taft, but to the business men of the country it looks like killing the hen that is laying golden eggs. Normal School Question Settled. After a long fight Davidson County has at last settled the Normal School question. Last Saturday the court met and thrashed out the matter to a finish, so now nothing is in the way of a speedy erection of the building and preparation for the opening of this institution at the earliest date possible. The Negro youth of Tennessee are waiting for the gates to be thrown open that they may come into their own. The decision of the County Court to make it possible for the college to be located in Davidson County is the completion of the second round only of this battle. We now should turn attention to the next round, which is the proper beginning of the Normal. Every citizen in the state should if eela part of this responsibility to look to the welfare of this state school. It should be as much concern to the people in Bristol and Memphis as it is to the people in Nashville. It is an institution for all the people and should be so considered. Mayor Howse succeeded with his new charter bill after all. His opponents did not think he would be magnanimous enough to accept of an amendment, but that is where they were mistaken. The Mayor is always for pleasing the people. Speaker-to-be Champ Clark's utterance on the reciprocity stirred up a hornet's nest. The stalwart Missourian did not know how big a speaker he is about to be, and if he is not careful, he will spoil the Taft-Clark honeymoon. The citizens of Nashville will regret to learn of the destructive fire that visited Mercy Hospital this week. The information that the proprietor will rebuild a bigger and better hospital will receive the hearty approval of all. Now Senator Borah, a western republican insurgent, surges forth and tells the northern white man of his hypocrisy. Whatever becomes of the senatorial bill, the utterances of the gentleman from Idaho will be sounding in the ears of the nation for many days to come. The Negroes of Stanford, Ky., who assembled in front of the jail to protect two of their fellow-men that had been incarcerated are to be commended for that manliness. The best way to stop mobbing is to meet the mobbers on equal ground. President Taft has succeeded in getting his Canadian reciprocity bill passed by both houses of Congress. If it is not to benefit the people any more than the tariff revision has, better throw it into the waste basket now. The Hon. William Jennings Bryan is in our midst. The "Peerless Commoner" declares he will not be a candidate for president in 1912. Why should he? We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of Mr. Emmett J. Scott's booklet, "Is Liberia Worth Saving?" The same will be read with intense interest. And again the People's Steam Laundry, alias Economical Laundry, has changed hands, for better or for worse—haundrying. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. If those 750,000 Odd Fellows pledged to Taft by Messrs. Morris and Johnson has been each one a National Convention delegate the Negro press would have an excuse for the furore it is raising over the "deal." It was a gratuitous pledge that even Mr. Taft could attach no significance to.—The Journal and Guide. ANDERSON HONORED AGAIN. It was a distinct honor paid our leader, Hon. Chas W. Anderson, that he was among the few distinguished New York citizens invited on the committee to arange for the dinner in honor of Mr. Nathan Straus. Mr. Anderson's name is second on the list. The dinner was a brilliant affair, there being present at it the State's best citizens, including Governor Dix, President of the Borough of Manhattan, Mr. George McAneny, August Belmost, John Jacob Astor and others. Right in the midst of these at one of the principal banquet tables sat Hon. Charles W. Anderson. When such things take place in our midst, who would dare venture the assertion that we are not making progress under the leadership of men like Chas. W. Anderson? - New York Age. The bank business is still on the flourish among our business men. Sad is it to think that all of our cities boast their Negro banks except around Huntsville. We are hoping that this year will bring new ideas and more progress among our people. What we want here in the great Spring City is an organized effort among the strongest men. When this is done banks and everything else that we want, will come our way. Go about your business, whether it rains or whether it shines. When the dark days come and the lazy man is begging for a crust of bread, you can sit down and take life easy.—Negro Fortuneteller. CITY ITEMS. Mrs. D. S. Brandon, of Huntsville, Ala, the mother of Miss Ollie Brandon, one o f the pharmaceutical students, is here visiting her daughter. She leaves for her home Saturday morning.

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 cannot be served upon him; it is therefore ordered that the 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 first Monday in March, 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. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Wilson, of East Nashville, celebrated the twenty-seventh anniversary of their marriage, at their home corner of Ramsey and Sixth street, on Wednesday evening. The affair was informal, there being present relatives and several close friends. A sumptuous dinner was served at seven p. m., and every one present enjoyed the occasion to the fullest extent. VALENTINE PICNIC. What may be called one of the most unique entertainments of the season was a Valentine Picnic Tuesday night, February 14th, when Miss Clyde Nolen, of 1821 Jefferson street, threw open her spacious parlors to the Eureka Social Club. This club is composed entirely of student girls, and as a variation from ordinary socials they thought to take advantage of the occasion by having a picnic. The rooms were decorated so as to represent woods. A path led from the back parlor into the hall, where a pail of lemonade, entwined with honeysuckle vines, grasses and flowers, stood in a willow chair. MILADI'S NOTE BOOK.

ANNUAL BANQUET OF THE RAILWAY EMPLOYE'S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION A BRILLIANT SUCCESS The annual banquet of the Railway Employes Protective Association on Tuesday night was a brilliant affair from every point of view. The entertainment this year eclipsed all previous efforts. The halls up stairs and down stairs were beautifully decorated and presented signs of new life at every turn. The ladies department, under the leadership of Mrs. C. W. Porch, president, had charge of the decorations, and they acquitted themselves grandly in their feature of the arrangement and the visitors and members as well were loud in their praise of the ladies. To any one who has visited one of these annual events on previous occasions it would seem impossible for the supper to be surpassed, but on PRESIDENT HUMPHRE Tuesday night it was evident at a glance that all records had been broken. The tables were beautifully decorated and were laden with vials and the delicacies of the season. In fact President Bowling and his committee simply outdid themselves in preparing for the satisfaction of the appetites of the visitors and the members of the association. Dr. C. H. Clark, who was to have delivered the annual address was out of the city and in his stead Prof. F. N. Green, principal of Ashcroft school spoke to the members and visitors. The speaker was listened to with rapt attention. Several other visitors made short addresses, among whom were Hon. J. C. Napier, Hon. A. N. Johnson, Prof. Benton and Rev. G. W. Porter. The exercises were opened with devotion by chaplain J. P. Carney. President Bowling then read his annual address. He reviewed the work of the year, and oftimes the four hundred members and visitors could hardly surprise their applause of approval of the splendid showing made by the association this year. Everybody was delighted with the program, and the supper of course. The association is growing rapidly and is looked upon by the officials of the railroads as a valuable asset. It is expected that sometime in the near future the association will receive substantial aid from the railroad in the way of improvements of the property and enlarging buildings. President Bowling was ably assisted in the preparation of the supper by the ladies under the leadership of Mrs. C. W. Porch and Mrs. S. Granberry. City Items. Prof. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the A.

One hundred and two years ago last Sunday, February 12th, the great state of Kentucky gave to the world and to its people a great chief and emancipator of the world's worst slavery, "Abraham Lincoln. We hope that the celebration of this great and long-remembered deceased was without limitation, especially by the Negroes of America. Every Negro, every Christian organization and church should have on that day and date uttered thanks to God for having such a man who did take upon himself in heart, in mind and in God and remove the dark clouds of slavery and declared liberty unto all mankind.

SHELBYVILLE NOTES. Dr. T. W. Johnson, District Superintendent of the M. E. Church, was in town last Sunday, and preached two very powerful sermons at Scott's Chapel morning and night. He was holding Quarterly meeting. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at night. Rev. J. Q. Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church, delivered one of the finest sermons last Sunday morning that has been preached in the town in many a day. His subject was "Putting on Christ." Miss Dora A. Jones took a trip to Nashville last Saturday to look after business pertaining to the drama to be given at the opera house on the 14th. Rev, J. H. Hillsman is back again after an extended trip out on his district. He is one of the most active and aggressive leaders in the Baptist church in the state. Miss Vera M. Chavers, of Turner Normal, left last Saturday for home, on account of sickness, accompanied by her mother. The Nightingale Quartette postponed their engagement for Haley Station last Saturday night on account of the disagreeable weather. Mr. William Stone, one of the oldest citizens of this place, and for many years one of the leaders in the local A. M. E. Church, is lying very low. His son-in-law, Mr. William Reid, of Nashville, came down a few days ago to visit him. "Midget" Saunders and Lillian Scott, are both back on Turner Normal campus. Lillian left a few weeks ago for Tullahoma on account of sickness and "Midget" went to visit her mamma in Nashville. The students of Turner Normal were stormed last Thursday by the ladies of Haley Circuit A. M E. Church, Rev, J. A. Crump, pastor. It came as a surprise to the students. The president, Dr. Jones, had announced that there would be a "fast" that day, and had given orders that no cooking was to be done, after breakfast. This seemed to have struck all with gloom. But oh, what delight filled their hearts when about 12:30 p. m. a bunch of ladies headed by Rev. J. A. Crump, came across the campus with baskets laden with old-fashioned "basket-meeting doing," and broke the "fast." Dr. Jones protested (?) but to no avail. The ladies said that the "children must be fed." It was indeed a very pleasant affair to the hungry students. Some of the latest additions to Turner Normal are Misses Mary Maupin, Lilly Terry and Eddie Stokes, all of Caldwell, Tenn. They entered the Normal class. The drama "Beyond Pardon," by the students of Turner Normal last Tuesday night was a decided success. There was a full house and patrons were present from several neighboring towns, some coming as far as Columbia. All the characters seemed to perform their parts like professionals. Miss Dora A. Jones, as leading lady and Miss Agnes P. Hampton, as "Eleanor," were especially pleasing. When the play concluded many in the audience were weeping. Miss Dora A. Jones left Wednesday for Chicago, where she goes to take up her work for the spring. CLARKSVILLE NOTES. Mr. and Mrs Louis Boyd, after spending several weeks in the city visiting relatives and friends, returned last Thursday to their home in Charleston, S. C. Clarksville is running over with wagons of tobacco coming in from Montgomery and adjacent counties. Prices are running high, which shows future prosperity for the community. A cake-cutting contest was given at Zion A. M. E. Church February 14, which was attended by a large crowd. A beautiful cake with a dollar in it was sliced and each slice was sold. The person buying the slice containing the dollar was entitled to the money. This was an enjoyable entertainment. Mrs. Thos. Cross entertained a number of friends in honor of her husband, Mr. Thos. Cross', birthday. February 13th at her home on Greenwood. A most enjoyable evening was spent in this home and all who were present were delighted to be the participants in such a rare feast. Several courses were served and the most palatable dishes which made up these courses would preserve one of the most delicate health with comparative ease. The birthday cake surrounded by many lighted candles, to represent the age of Mr. Cross, was one of the rarest spectacles that ever met human gaze and presented a most beautiful scene. This cake was a piece of perfection and showed quite vividly the skill of a technical caterer. On last Thursday night a valentine party was given at the Fifth Ward Church. A good crowd attended. After several weeks of illness Mr. J. H. Thompson is convalescent. On Wednesday, February 8, the Smart Set was greeted at Elder's Opera House by a large and enthusiastic audience. Half the parquet, dress circle, family circle and the whole of the balcony and gallery were occupied by our people. The Smart Set Company was one of the best shows ever seen in Clarksville, and was highly appreciated by all who attended. One of the grandest entertainments of the season was the valentine social given at the Masonic Temple by the Madison Square Club. For the past four years they have entertained the people of Clarksville on this date only and have spared no pains in making it pleasant for all who attended. Refreshments were served in the latest style and a large crowd attended. The Morning Glory Circle of Mt. Olive Baptist Church met at the residence of Mrs. C. A. Jackson, Friday afternoon, February 10, 1911. There was a large number of ladies present. The refreshments served were delightful. Dr. S. Jefferson delivered a very interesting lecture to the graduating class taught by Prof. H. R. Merry, and also to the one taught by Miss L. B. Porter. His subject was "Oral Hygiene."

L. Harris and E. M. Seymour.
