NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. VI. Patrons Held Mass-Meeting Monday Night. OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN PLAIN WORDS — PARENTS DETERMINED THAT HE SHALL BE REMOVED — PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH SCENE OF MUCH ACTIVITY — MOTHERS OUTSPOKEN—STATEMENT ENDORSED AND SIGNED BY OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE—DEFENSE OF GIRL'S FAMILY. Monday night at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church on Jefferson street, a mass-meeting of citizens assembled to protest against the reinstatement of Prof. Geo. Waters, as a teacher in the public school of the city. The meeting was well attended by the parents of the children who attend Knowles School, where Prof. Waters is teaching, and they showed by their expressions that they are deeply concerned about the matter. In their expressions it was clearly evident that no malice is held towards Prof. Waters, but it is a case in which a decision must be made, between the hundreds of children who are to be taught, whether they must be taught high or low ideals; whether moral or immoral influences shall prevail; or whether Prof. Waters, who has been tried and convicted by a jury, but who was released by the higher court on a mere error in the charge of lower court, shall he, Waters, be allowed to maintain his position as a teacher when it is evident that his influence cannot be conducive to the uplift of the children? The parents in mass-meeting assembled decided that the welfare of hundreds of children is paramount to that of Prof. Waters. The mass-meeting on Monday night endorsed the following statement and sent a copy of the same to the Superintendent of Public Schools, the president of the Board of Education and the Mayor of the city with over a hundred signatures on each. To Prof. J. J. Keyes, Superintendent Public Schools, Nashville, Tenn.: As touching the matter of Prof. Geo. Waters' reinstatement as teacher in the Knowles Public School, we, the patrons of said school, make the following statement: 1. A teacher ought to be required to maintain a good reputation in the community, because he stands for the moral uplift of the community. 2. Whenever a teacher, by his conduct, has destroyed or weakened his influence for this moral uplift his usefulness as a molder of a healthy moral sentiment is at an end. 3. A legal acquittal does not always acquit one from a charge of immoral conduct, and that is true in the case in question, because the opinion of the court does not hold that the defendant in the court below is innocent of any criminal knowledge of the woman in question, and the acquittal is not based on that point. 4. We stand for the purity of our homes, for the moral betterment of our community, and in this we ask the co-operation of the teachers of our children, both in precept and in example. Believing that such co-operation cannot be had in the person of Prof. George Waters, we respectfully and most earnestly protest against his reinstatement as teacher in Knowles School, and ask his immediate suspension pending consideration. 5. Grant for the sake of argument that Prof. Waters is not guilty of having criminal knowledge with the female in question, still the very fact that she, upon her oath, in open court, declared that he was guilty; and the fact that a jury having heard the testimony of all the witnesses for and against him, and the argument of the lawyers, brought in a verdict of guilty; and the further fact that his arrest and imprisonment and subsequent trial were all aided through the papers and thereby became the common knowledge of school children, parents and the public in general—these facts, in our judgment, render him utterly unfit to be a teacher in the public schools of Nashville. 6. We desire to emphasize the fact that we, in our position set forth above, are not influenced by any personal grudge or bias against Prof. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911 Waters, but are earnestly concerned about those matters that vitally effect us. We further state that in the above we express the sentiment and wishes of the patrons of Knowles School. Family Record Defended. In last Saturday's issue of The Nashville Globe there appeared under the caption of "Opportunity for Abuse" the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Wilson vs. Waters. We, the prosecutors in the case, wish to correct the errors which were thrown before the public in your issue of March 3. Every person who attended the trial can testify that it was not a case of "Black-mail." If we understand the term "Black-mail" it means to extort money from persons through fear of exposure either of a crime of which they are guilty or an imaginary one. This we did not try to do. We did not exact any money from Waters or any one else, but on the other hand, he tried first to bribe us with an offer of $50 in August, 1909, and to care for the mother and child until it was grown. This we refused. Then he came back and said, he could not marry the girl, but suggested an abortion, which too, was indignantly refused, and we guarded the girl hourly. Waters had fallen low enough in our estimation when he robbed our little girl of her virtue. We may have to answer to our God for a sin of omission in not watching over our child more closely, knowing as we did that Waters lived in our neighborhood, but never will we have to answer for the murder of an unborn child.

Glasgow, Ky., March 9.—A posse of 100 men are now searching through the hills of Hart County, twenty miles from here, for Doc Massey, the crazy Negro who late yesterday killed George Stewart, a colored deputy, who was assisting Sheriff Richard Lobb to arrest him, and who last night murdered his entire family, wife and eight children. There is much excitement over the man running loose and no one will feel safe until he is captured. Another Account. Munfordville, Ky., March 9.—Stricken violently insane, Doc Massie, of Hart County, killed George Stewart, a kinsman, who had been sent to arrest him. He barricaded himself in his house and defied 2 sheriff's posse till this morning. Then he escaped to the woods. The posse is now in pursuit and it is reported has surrounded Massey in a swamp near Boiling Springs. First reports that Massey had slain members of his family are denied. INSTALL THEIR PASTOR. On Sunday, February 26, 1911, the Third Avenue Baptist Church installed Rev. John Slaughter as their pastor. The following program was rendered, owing to the absence of Dr. R. H. Boyd, Dr. C. H. Clark was master of ceremonies. The district missionary of the Stones River Association, Rev. I. J. Jordan, read the scripture; prayer was offered by Rev. G. B. Taylor. Dr. C. H. Clark gave a strong charge to the church. Short talks were made by Revs. Fields and Harding, after which Rev. Ellington gave a splendid charge to the deacons. Rev. G. B. Taylor, although a little indisposed, assisted his choir in rendering music. He preached one of the strongest sermons of his life. A grand collection of $16 was taken up. Although Mt. Nebo having no pastor was represented by her deacons and members, showing their respects to their former pastor, Rev. J. Slaughter. LOSES TWO CHILDREN WITHIN TWO WEEKS.

SMITH, AN OLD RESIDENT, CLEARED LONZO WOODS AND DAVID COOK—CASE SETTLED IN MURFREES BORO LAST WEEK—THE ATTORNEY GENERAL REFUSES TO PROSECUTE — JUDGE CHARGES JURY, HOWEVER—VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY. Murfreesboro, Tenn. March 6.—One of the most unusual trials ever held at Murfreesboro was ended after a session of three days Saturday, Mar. 4, when the jury in the case of Mr. Lonzo Woods and Mr. David Cook, charged with criminal assault upon Miss Hula Bodily returned a verdict of acquittal. The Attorney-General, W. H. Faulkner, and Mr. T. B. Lyle, who assisted him, made a statement when the testimony was concluded that they were convinced that the evidence did not identify the two defendants as the two men who had committed the crime and that they therefore could not insist upon a conviction. They moved the court to direct the jury to return a verdict of acquittal, but the court, Mr. E. D. Hancock presiding as Judge, refused to allow the motion on the ground that it was a case in which some evidence had been introduced implicating the two men and that the court therefore was constrained to deliver a full charge to the jury and allow them to consider the statement of the Attorney-General in connection with all the testimony and to return such verdict as they deemed proper under the facts proven. The jury deliberated about thirty minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty and the two men were discharged. No violence was attempted towards them, as the case was deeply involved in doubt. The young woman claimed on the trial that she was then able to identify the two men as the ones who outraged her, and she described in detail how she was knocked down, tied and gagged and rendered insensible, but not before she was aware that she had been outraged. A niece of the young lady testified that she found Miss Bodily tied with a rope and gagged. Dr. Charlton and Dr. Ewing testified that she was in a semi-conscious state when they were called in. Her mother said she was not herself until the following Sunday. The next day after the crime the two defendants were carried before Miss Bodily, but she was not able to identify them, and Deputy Sheriff Rhodes says she said that Woods was not one of her assailants, but that Cook favored one of them though he was dressed differently.

Cincinnati, O., March 6.—Vice President Powell of the New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railroad, in a statement today minimized the importance of the action of the firemen of that system who yesterday sent out ballots for a male vote to decide whether a strike shall be called because of the employment of Negro firemen. We do not employ any Negro firemen on the New Orleans and Texas Pacific north of Oakdale, Tenn., Mr Powell said. "We have no intention of bringing Negro firemen north of that point." NEGRO SAVES WHITE WOMAN FROM WATERY GRAVE Memphis, Tenn., March 6.—Despondent over what she described as "a life of hell," Mrs. Pauline Blacksear leaped into the Mississippi river to-day. She was rescued however, despite her struggles to drown. "Here she goes!" shouted Mrs. Blacksear, as she made the plunge into the cold water. The woman was drowning when John Sanders, a Negro roustabout, plunged in after her, seized Mrs. Blacksear by the hair, and, with the aid of Patrolman John Neutsel, brought her to safety. The friends of Sanders are considering his name as worthy of recognition by the Carnegie hero fund. CHAS. STEWART COMING. According to news just received, Mr. Chas, Stewart who is well and favorably known throughout the United States and who is constantly traveling from one state to another, is to deliver an address in Nashville March 16th. The Rev. Stewart was in Nashville some time last year. On one of his visits he preached an able sermon at the St. Paul Methodist Church, that a young revival sprung up resulting in two conversions. BISHOP LEE DID NOT CRITICISE TAFT. Xenia, Ohio, March 6.—Bishop B. F. Lee, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, residing at Wilberforce University, said to-day that the statements he is accredited with having made at the Council of Negro Bishops at Mobile, Ala., recently in criticism of President Taft are entirely false. He stated further that he was a supporter of President Taft, and that he has never spoken against him at any time, either privately or publicly. A NEW LAUNDRY COMPANY. A new company will open business at 412 Cedar street, known as the Kirby Steam Laundry Co. Those interested are J. W. Bostick, president; Overton Carter, vice president; G. E. Washington, secretary; Dr. J. H. Hale, treasurer; W. G. Kirby, manager. The company is at work getting ready and hopes to be ready for business next week No.10 BIG FIRE DESTROYS SEVERAL HOMES ON JEFFERSON ST. Berry's Ice Cream Factory Reduced to Ashes. FIRE BROKE OUT LATE FRIDAY NIGHT — SEVERAL FAMILIES RENDERED HOMELESS—ORIGINATED IN BERRY HOME—NEIGHBORS AROUSED BY FALLING TIMBERS—HAD TO HUSTLE FOR THEIR LIVES—GREAT CROWD GATHERED FROM SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. Last Friday night between eleven and twelve o'clock there occurred one of the greatest fires that has been known to be in a colored section of this city for many years. At the time stated many families living in the twentieth block on Jefferson street were aroused by an alarm made because of a fire which, from all indications, seemed to have taken place in the home of Mr. Nathan Berry. Mr. Berry is better known as the manager of the "N. Berry's Creamery." When seen by a Globe reporter he stated that he and all of his family were away in attendance at a concert given in the interest of his church (St. Paul), and with which his wife was directly connected. It is reported that the fire started in the Berry home and had gotten a good headway before it was discovered. The next door neighbors were aroused by the falling of popping boards. Thinking that some one was breaking into the house they were shocked to know the destruction of their home was inevitable. The house in which the fire was discovered was practically destroyed before the fire engine reached the scene. There were two homes completely destroyed and practically all of their contents. Then there were also two other homes of which possibly fifty per cent was saved. Two families, that of Mr. Ed. Church and Mr. John Dungey, who were living in the home of Rev. Monroe Jackson, and being some distance away from the base of the flames were able to save all of their belongings, while Mrs. Sarah Short and family lost home entirely and practically all of their clothing. Another to suffer greatly from the damage was Mrs. Pearl Smith and family, who lived just east of Mrs. Short. Mr. Berry stated to a Globe representative that his loss was about $3,000. He carried about $1,000 worth of insurance. It could not be learned as to the exact amount upon the other property, but it is thought that it was by no means sufficient to cover loss. The fire department is severely criticised for their slowness in responding after the alarm was turned in. It is the concensus of opinion that all except two buildings could have been saved had the fire companies responded promptly. TUSKEGEE TO GET CASH Wealthy New Yorker Wills the Bulk of His Estate to It. New York, March 11 - Tuskegee Institute will eventually benefit to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars by the will of Emmett Densmore, a millionaire manufacturer of this city. To the institute is directed to be given, after various life estates created by the will shall have lapsed, all the testator's property or as much as the law will allow to be given for such purposes. LITERARY CLUB MEETS. The Literary Club of St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday-school held its regular meeting Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Josephine Budix, Twelfth avenue, North. The meeting was opened at 7:20 o'clock by the president, Mr. C. T. Harwell, with the customary preliminaries, after which a most interesting program was rendered. Much important business pertaining to the future welfare of the club was transacted. A most refreshing collation was served. The next meeting will be held at the home of the president, Mr. C. T. Harwell, 719 Jefferson Rev. W. S. Ellington celebrates his eleventh anniversary as pastor of the First Baptist Church. Arrangements for an elaborate celebration of the eleven years' service of Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. M., D. D., of the First Baptist Church of this city, have been completed and from present indications, judging from the splendid program arranged for Sunday and Monday, the affair will be one of the big events in religious circles of the season. The Rev. Dr. Ellington has also been editorial secretary for the National Baptist Publishing Board for nine years and is said to have filled both positions with much credit to the race. There will be in the city to assist and be the principal speaker in the anniversary exercises Rev. M. A. B. W. S. ELLINGTON, D. D. W. Gilbert, D. D., who has recently been installed as pastor in the First Baptist Church at Knoxville. Dr. Gilbert has just left the pastorate of the Olivet Baptist Church, of New York City, on 53rd street, to return to Tennessee. Some years ago Dr. Gilbert pastored the church now pastored by Dr. Ellington. His acceptance of the invitation to preach the anniversary sermon will be, no doubt, the means of drawing a very large crowd Sunday. Then too, the fact that the pastor of this church is held in such high esteem by all the citizens is another guarantee for a splendid attendance. Special services will be had all day. Dr. Gilbert will also preach the ordination sermon of Deacons S. P. Harris and J. B. Singleton at night. The popular lecture, "The Function of Christianity in the Solution of the Race Problem," will be delivered by Dr. Gilbert Monday night. COMMITTEE CALLS ON GOVERN- OR HOOPER. "I see no reason for further delaying the work of preparing for the opening of the State Normal and Agricultural College for Negroes," is a statement said to have been made by His Excellency, Governor Hooper, to a special committee of Negroes who called upon him in the interest of the new school for the state. This committee consisted of Revs. Preston Taylor, Henry A. Boyd and Mr. Ben Carr. They held a long conference with the Governor, and one of the committee said to a Globe reporter that the Governor seems to favor the school. He has promised his co-operation in all that was good for the advancement of the industrial education of the Negro. ST. LUKE PENNY SAVINGS BANK.

The Waters Case. Citizens, who are for the most part parents of children who attend Knowles School, assembled in a mass- meeting Monday night to offer a pro- test against the retention of one Prof. George Waters as teacher in said school. The mecting was well attend: ed, as was anticipated by all who have given the case any consideration. No inflammatory remarks were uttered, but every speaker put such emphasis on his or her utteranees that made it clear that they were determined in what they were going about. This case has arOused the Negroes of Nashville as they have never been before, and they aze awakening to a sense of their duty as citizens and as the parents of children. This case demands the attention of all right thinking people, It is not the inten- tion to impress our readers that we have been blind to other evils that ex: ist now, nor to the crimes that have heen committed of a similar nature, but the peculiar cizcumstances sur rounding this case were unbearable; it was the “last straw” that “broke the camel's back,” and the people have arisen in their might and are demanding that this man, who so far forgot. himself as to put his reputa tion under the feet of dogs, suffer for the mistake. It is alleged that Mr. Waters has said the Negroes of this city have nothing to do with his case, If this allegation is true, it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is incapaci tated to serve the public in any ca pacity whatever, If the people who pay the taxes, and who send the chil dren to school to be taught are to have no say as to who shall teach their children, what authority is there that is high enough to do so? If such a statement was made it is sim ply a false conception of things. It is true that the Negro citizens of Nashville have slept on their rights, but they are theirs just the same. Mr. Waters cannot remain as a teacher if he is objectionable to the patrons of the school; the mass-meet ing on Monday night went on record as opposed to him, he is therefore ob jectionable to them and will have tc go. It is to the best interest of the people, Prof. Waters not excepted. Justice in Rutherford, The verdict of the jury in acquit: ting two Negroes at Murfreesboro last week is a fair example of the sentt- ment that is taking healthy root in Tennessee. These men were charged with having committed an assault upon a white woman, and it has been ‘a custom in this state and throughout the South to put such parties to death in the quickest and most barbarous way possible, no attempt being made to find out whether the parties accused be guilty or innocent, The action of the jury in the case at Murfzeesboro was just the reverse, The parties were given the benefit of the law and were able to establish an alibi, and as a result were given their freedom. NASHVILE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911, Another feature of this cage is the character of the attorneys who haadled ‘it are among the best in the state, Their very presence in the defense of these men had the effect of satisfying the public that justice would be done ‘the prosecutor, and no attempt at vi- olence was thought of. Again, ono of ‘the main witnesses. was a Negro man, and upon his testimony depended the ability to prove an alibi, The court accepted his statement, coming as it did from a man who was able to re- ceive the endorsement of the leading business men of the community. It is a sign of a better day for this grand old state, It is an indication of a desire on the part of the strong to be merciful toward the weak. It also shows the worth of a good char acter, It proves to the world that the black and white people of the South can live together in peace and harmony if all will do their level best to promote that peace. | The white firemen of the Queen & Crescent Railroad have put the nselves in the class of men who are styled proverbial jackasses. Black men are as much entitled to work as firemen on trains as men of any cther race. Efficiency should control in such cases, Warships of many types, war ba- loons, aeroplanes and what not may ‘be introduced, but when it comes to veal was the army mule holds his place, The Orisis tor February is a splen- did literary production, Such a maga- zine has a place of distinction in the development of the race. Col. Roosevelt has emerged from his seclusion. We suppose he is try: ing his wings to see if they will be ready for sailing in 1912. fii ee; EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.

All eyes were turned toward the state capitol this week, and every car was open to hear what was done by the State Board at its regular meeting which was held on Monday and Tuesday. This was Governor Hooper's first meeting with the Board. Just what was done none seem to know, or care to say, however, it is stated upon good authority that among the things considered was the Negro Agricultural and Mechanical College. Among the new steps taken to help the school was the appointment of a committee to look into the Morrill Fund as well as the Peabody and Slater Fund, in so far as it would help or effect the Negro school. President W. J. Hale and Superintendent Ben Carr were both at the capitol on Monday and Tuesday, but neither had any information to give out for publication. No date for the opening of the school has been decided upon so far as could be learned. Hear Charles Stewart at Meharry Auditorium Wednesday night, March 15th, 1911. PROTEST FROM MT.

The defendants devoted their proof to establishing an alibi, and while it was principally proved by Negroes, they were shown to be Negroes of good character, especially Mr. Pleas Smith whose oath was upheld by some ten or twelve of the leading men of the Third District. Mr. Smith said the two men came to his house, where they were staying, and remained there from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until the next morning, and that he saw them there at his house at the hour the crime was alleged to have been committed, at sundown on Friday, November 25, 1910. The storehouse was four miles from Mr. Smith's house, and if he was swearing the truth the two defendants were certainly innocent, and a case of probably mistaken identity was presented. Mr. Smith's bearing, intelligence and straightforward story probably saved the defendant's neck, as there was a visible change in the opinion of the large crowd which packed the court room and listened at every word the old man related. When he finished Col. J. S. Goode and other equally prominent citizens, including Mr. T. E. Smith, who said he had known Pleas Smith for fifty-five years, testified that they would give Mr. Smith full faith and credit on his oath, and they said so despite the fact that Mr. Smith was related to Mr. Woods' wife, being her brother. Mr. Hunter and another white man testified that they saw Woods and Cook on the day of the crime about 4 o'clock at Pleas Smith's house. There was, therefore, barely time for the men to have gone from Smith's house to the Bodily store within the short space of time between 4 o'clock and sundown, on a November day, as the sun sets early at that time of the year, and the distance was about four miles over a rough country road. NEGROES WERE GIVEN CHANCE. To say the least of the case, it certainly demonstrated a tendency of the people of Rutherford County to extend to the black man a fair chance to prove his innocence and to insure him safety when he is innocent or where there is a reasonable doubt of his guilt of the heinous crime of rape. The two defendants were ably represented by Messrs. G. F. Cranor and J. W. Sparks, who managed the case with such signal ability that the Attorney-General felt it obligatory upon himself to abandon the prosecution. NASHVILE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911 424 CAPT. J. M.

Associates Honor John H. Murphy, of Afro-American Ledger. From a recent issue of the Baltimore Ledger. The seventieth anniversary of the birth of John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, which occurred on Christmas Day, was celebrated with a banquet in his honor, held at Nazarade Hall, Calvert street, near Center, last night. The banquet was followed by a reception to the ladies in the main hall. The speakers and subscribers present included many leading colored men of this city and Washington. Rev. Ernest Lyon presided and City Councilman H. S. Cummings acted as toastmaster. A number of five-minute speeches were made in which many tributes were paid Editor Murphy for his journalistic work in Baltimore in aiding the cause of the colored man. The speakers and the toasts to which they responded were Dr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, "The Medical Fraternity;" C. C. Fitzgerald, "The Legal Profession;" Rev. A. C. Hughes, "The Ministry;" H. T. Pratt, "Schools and Business;" W. C. McCard, "Our Women;" Mason A. Hawkins, "Educational and Public Opinion;" R. W. Thompson, of Washington, "The Negro Correspondent;" H. E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times, "Our Guest, the Journalist;" Rev. Dr. J. O. Spencer, of Morgan College, Baltimore; Charles D. Freeman, of Washington, and Franklin F. Johnson, who responded to the toast of "The Local Reporter." Editor Murphy responded to the speeches. City Councilman Cummings, in speaking of the guest of honor, said in part: "Editor Murphy, in whose honor this banquet is held, stands for that which is best in the life and sentiment among our people. Being the oldest of our editors, he is loved and revered by us and is entitled to the support and respect of our entire population. We meet to-night to do honor and credit to him who week by week chronicles the doings of the best of our race." In his address Mr. Macbeth said that a Negro daily was an absolute necessity. He also spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Murphy as a journalist. Rev. Mr. Hughes said that the race paper would grow more influential as time goes on. "The place occupied by the ministry, as the leader in secular affairs," he said, "would fall upon the shoulders of the race journalist. "No one," he continued, "would more welcome this change than the ministry, for they realize the tremendous importance of race papers when they are managed by capable, far-seeing and broad-minded men." In a brief address Editor Murphy said that a great future was in store for Negro journalism, if only capable men are supported by the people. He spoke of the hardships he endured in starting out in the work, and said that a tremendous advance in the quality of Negro papers had been made within the past seven years. Among those who sent letters of regret was Dr. Booker T. Washington, who said: "There are few men in my race who have rendered more unselfish, constant and useful service than is true of Mr. Murphy, and we should honor him to the fullest extent. There are two elements in connection with this banquet that please me immensely. One is, we are honoring a man while he is living; the second element is we are honoring a man of our own race." T. Thomas Fortune, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, secretary of the Association for the advancement of the Negro, New York; J. H. N. Waring, former principal of the Colored High School in this city, and now a practicing physician in Washington, also sent letters. In the course of the banquet a resolution urging the establishment of a national Negro daily paper, the offices of which are to be located in Baltimore was introduced. Plans are already on foot for the enterprise, which is receiving the backing of the strongest Negroes in all parts of the country Editor Murphy was born in this city and received his education in private schools. He enlisted in one of the Maryland regiments and served throughout the Civil War. After the war he returned to this city and started a printing establishment. He later purchased both the Afro-American and the Ledger and consolidated them. Three of his sons are associated with him in carrying on the business. Aside from his journalistic duties, Editor Murphy has devoted much of his time to church work. He has been a delegate to several general conferences of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He is also a thirty-third degree Mason and is imperial recorder of the Mystic Shriners. His wife is president of the Baltimore Young Women's Christian Association. Miladi's Note Book.

One of the gentlemen said, “This will be my first season to manage # Negro team in this city, although | have ‘had years of training in base- ‘ball. 1 am going to put in Nashville ‘one of the fastest teams in the Sout). 1 am going to play all the test teams ‘of the East, West and South, 1 am going to sive the people the right ar- ticle of ball. I am going to see if the people of Nashville will sypport @ good ball team, and if they will come out to a Negro park to see « ‘Negro team play a fast gentlemanly game of base ball. I am going to open the season with a good fast team and I am going to keep it so all the season or as long as | can pay the players. I am going to have only the best teams here ani my players will be gentlemen both on and off the field as the day of the rowdy, loud-mouthed ball player has passed and the better element of baseball fans will not stand for this sort of player. They want goot. clean, fast ball and that is what ! ‘am going to give them. I am going Yo play such teams as Rube Foster's American Giants about April 18, or 19th; Royal Giants, May 1, 2 and.3; SERGEANT ALBERT W. RAY. After an absence of thirty-five years from his native soil, Sergeant Albert ‘W. Ray returns to Tennessee for a visit. It is interesting to hear the sergeant talk of the times when he enlisted as a private in tae Twenty- fifth United States Infantzy, which ‘was stationed fust “two blocks from whef@ the National Baptist Publish- ing “Board now ‘stands, in 1875, “That was,” said Sergeant Ray, “when Nashville was a very small place, and right after the days of se- vere fighting.” Immediately upon his enlistment he was transferred with his regiment. to Texas, where he was put into the midst of the Indian fight then raging, under the command of General Shafter. He was in much of the fighting in and about the frontier posts, having been stationed at such military posts as Ft. Brown, Ft. Ring- gold, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Stockton and Ft. Sam Houston. Leaving Texas he was transferred with his regiment to Mon- tana, where he continued to fight In- dians. Finally, after fifteen years of continuous service, he left the United States Army and entered the employ ‘of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany, with which company he has been receiving one promotion after an- other, until today, although off on a furiough, he occupies the unique dis- tincton of being one among the few Negro conductors. He is serving his zith year as sleeping car conductor on the D. S. §, and A. Railway, with headquarters at Sault Ste. Marie Mich. ‘The most interesting incident of the whole narrative is that Mr. Ray was born in Bedford County, just a few miles from Shelbyville, Tenn. He is the son of Mrs. Fannie Brittan, bet ter known as “Aunt Fannie,” and it is on a special visit to his mother who is living at the age of seventy odd years, that he makes this extend ed trip. In speaking to a Globe re porter, Mr. Ray stated that there were two other Negro train conductors on Mis line, in the persone of Mr. C. M Blackburne and Mr. F. M, Mason, bu there were a number of Negro dining car conductors in Canada He ridiculed the idea that Negroes were being barred as undesirable emi grants by the Canadian authorities He stated emphatically that the: were looked upon by the most desira ble emigrants that could come to tha section of the country, He admitte that the weather was severe in th winter and all could not stand it Sergeant Ray: left for Shelbyville thence to Atlanta, thence to Washins ton; from Washington he will go t New York and back to his home i - Micbigan.

WATERS. (Continued fom Fage +.) After his money offe> failed and his abortion trick was scoffed at, he brought a white doctor accompanied by a white lawyer, both in an automo- bile under the pretense that they were land inspectors, the doctor being for medical ‘purposes. We rejected. any attention whatever that this doctor could give, as we had a family doctor and preferred that our family doctor look after the child. Our doctor ad- vised us not to permit Water's doctor to take any steps toward medical care of the child, When Waters learned this he secured 2 country home for the child, in order that he might not be exposed and the people would think she had gone off to school. We did not want her carried away from us and especially by a man who would stoop to murder the innocent and un- protected to shield himself, After every attempt on his part to contzol us had failed. he sent a num: ber of prominent business men to us to effect a compromise. Hud we been the agressors in the compromise game orhadhadahandin the ‘“Black-mail’ scheme, why did the Court send John Wilson to the county road for thirty days for attempting to coerce us intc a compromise for t money considera tion He offered us $200. Another one of the Waters friends offered us $400, anc acertain (2) preacher tried to brib our lawyer for $500. Does this, to an3 court of justice or to the most igno rant or depraved creature, look like we wanted money? There {sn amount of money in God’s world tha can buy for our loved one her virtue All that she or any other woman cal | possess has been stolen from her b; |a man who has proved by his action {in and out of court that he is lowe |than a brute. Heaven bestows upo a woman but one precious gift—he Pn ig at ee eae Se Ae ee eee 2 eee Re | sess the weaith of the world, or marry |the highest man in the land, she cat |but have moments of reflection which [carry he~ back to her blot of sin, and |render her most miserable indeed. We were aware of the two certain truth, that we could never restore her chastity, she was a mother, do what we would, but we could attempt to build upon our ruined castle a bulwark of defense for other “Babies in the cradle,” who perchance might meet George Waters or some saint like him. We wish further to refrute the charge that we are in reduced circum: stances, or that we live in two rooms. Poverty is no disgrace, because we feel that “Rags are royal raiments when worn for the sake of Virtue,” but we own our own dwelling of six rooms, (two stories) and a small house in the rear which is Used as rental prop- erty. We pay taxes on as much prop- erty as Waters does, and what we own came from our own labor and frugali- ty and ‘not through the law of inheri- tance, We are law-ubiding citizens as our action in this case has shown; because in any court. of justice we would have been “Justified in taking his life with a pistol for the offense which he committed against the law, society, our child and his God. We strive to be something and to possess something we are comforta- bly surrounded with poultry, hogs, cows, horses, a wagon and a trap in which we can ride!around We. have eight in our famify, George Waters, Jr, who is the living image of his father, George Walers, S~, making nine. Aside from the six living rooms we havea reception, hall, an ante hall and two large pdrehes to our two- story house. Wes say this not in boasting, but that the public may. know that we do not live in two rooms as the honorable Silpreme Court hand-| ed down. Again we wish to say thtt, the brother of the son-in-law did not run away from home, but went away with the railroad company with which he worked "as water-boy, Ashland City. He is only fifteen years of age. There were no outer men named in connection with the child but Waters, and he alone did the wrong, Waters produced a number of affidavits, but had no one to back them up except a poor ignorant white boy whom he had bribed with a promise of money and land, and it was shown in court that he was bribed. As tw the Synday.school affair, this happened when the gir) was seven years old and instead of the girl being guilty of a wrong Waters was asked to stay from the Sunday-school for bad conduct by the pastor of the chureh, Rev. J. M. Lyte. When the girl lad reached the age of fourteen years Waters had rutiei it-r charac: ter. If her proclivitius we so very bad why did Wate: phice himse!f in a position to be acctsel by Mer? If she were a prostitute, why did this honorable, upright aut learne1 profes: sor stoop to associits wit a prosti- tute? Did he not oac the city which gaye him emplovornt some esnsidera tion? Did he not. owe the tender girl- hood and boyhood which fell under his protection datly a life of morality and chaste example And above all, did he not owe it to the life and health of his wife not to expose her to the dangers which would be brought about by the association with a prostitute? There were other men in the neigh- borhood who were Water's superiors from every standpoint, and it seems if we were money-sharks we would have set our fangs into some of them if there were no truth in the statement of our assertion, and that if she had been a prostitute she would have played for larger game, Since it was so plentiful in our neighborhood. If this girl of fourteen years were a prostitute of the black character she is painted in the decision of the Supreme Court, why was she allowed to attend the pub: lic schoots? She was a pupil in the Nelson Merry School at the close of the school June, 1909, and passed her grade. Her condition became known to us in August and she became a mother in December. When we spoke |to Waters about paying so much at tention to her he replied that, he only carried her clothes basket one time to help her out. When we asked her | who the person was who had betraye¢ her she did not hesitate to name "| Waters first, last and always. — She has never accused any other person. | We have only asked the law to giv |to our child that protection which { ‘| vouches to every woman, no more n¢ lies, So far as we could exercis | power we have protected her by secur ing a lawyer and prosecuting Water: ‘Jin the Court, the enforcement of thi ‘/law rests with the State of Tennessee >| We have not tried to take the law inte ‘The Supreme Court further recites that, no one but this female could fee tity to Water's guilt. Who else but this female could testify? Since the courts of; Tennessee recite that to know a thing one must be an eye wit- ness, and not even a common prosti- tute, like tie one this sourteen-year- old baby was painted to be, would permit any person other than her partner in crime to be a witness to an act of shame like this one.
