THIRTY YOUNG PEOPLE
WILL GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL
Ninety-eight From Grammar Dep't.
SECOND TIME IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL CLASS SO LARGE—TEN BOYS IN NUMBER—EXERCISES WILL BE ABOVE THE AVERAGE —PROF. SMITH NOT ABLE TO BE PRESENT—JUBILEE MUSIC TO BE SPECIAL FEATURE—GLEE CLUB TRAINED BY PROF. RYDER, OF FISK—GRAMMAR CLASS LARGE ONE.
The graduating class of Pearl High School this year will be the largest in many years, and the equal in number of any class. There are thirty boys and girls to be given diplomas at Ryman Auditorium Thursday night, ten boys and twenty girls. Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of the High School was phoned, and when asked how this class compared with those of former fears, he said this class was as large as any in the history of the High School, and has only been equalled once before. Prof. Smith has been principal of this school for sixteen years, and this will be the first instance during that time that he has not personally conducted the graduating exercises, he having just recently been released from the hospital.
A special feature of the exercises this year will be the Jubilee music by the Glee Club. Prof. Ryder, of Fisk University, was engaged by Prof. Smith before he took ill to instruct the pupils, and the Jubilee music alone will be worth going to hear. The class roll follows:
January Class.
B. Herbert Jones, Jesse Leach,
Myrtle A. Buford, Willie B. Flagg,
Frank C. Ledbetter, Alberta E. Ross,
Myrtle M. Sanford.

To the Nashville Globe:
Will you plase assist me in finding some of my people whom I suppose must be living in Nashville, or some part of Tennessee? The name of the family that I am looking for is Marina. One of their names is Jerry Marina, another David Marina, while my father's name is Ben Marina. My name is Willie Annie Marina. I am a girl without a mother. I am now keeping house for my father. We are anxious to find some of our people. Whoever knows of them will please write to me.
W. A. MARINA Van, Ark.
MORE THAN 25,000 ORDERS.
A remarkable record has been made by the National Baptist Publishing Board in the receipts and the dispatch of orders for Sunday-school periodicals. Secretary Boyd stated to a Globe reporter upon his return from the State of Mississippi this week that they had filled and sent out up to Wednesday, May 24th, more than 25,000 orders of literature, publications and supplies. This, declared Secretary Boyd, was only a high water mark, notwithstanding the apparent falling off a year ago and during last Fall, which he explains was brought about on account of the peculiar conditions then existing, but the picking up in this department with an increase of orders, guarantees a splendid report for the clos of the fiscal year, continued Secretary Boyd, which will be made at the National Baptist Convention, which meets in Pittsburg, Penn., next September.
ENDEAVOR LEAGUE ELECTS OF FICERS.
The Allen Christian Endeavon League of St. Paul A. M. E. Church had the installation of officers at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson, of 16 Lewis street.

Kinzer, president; Miss Jimmie Mason, vice-president; Miss Laura Lewis, secretary; B. R. Campbell, corresponding secretary; Mrs. W. S. Brooks, treasurer; H. J. Stockard, reporter; Miss E. M. Thompson, organist.

DP. STOWE AT FISK UNIVERSITY
DP. STOWE AT FISK UNIVERSITY
WILL DELIVER THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
Day Anniversary of His Mother's Birth
WRITES INTERESTING LETTER IN ACCEPTING THE INVITATION TO COME—REVIEWS THE CIVIL WAR STRIFE—SHOWS THAT HARRIET BEECHER STOWE SYMPATHIZED WITH THE SOUTH—HAS GREAT HOPE FOR THE NEGRO—BELIEVE WITH EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HE IS THE EQUAL OF OTHER MEN.
At Fisk University commencement day on June 14th there is this year to be a distinctly unique feature. The youngest son of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Rev. Dr. Charles E. Stowe, of New York City, is to give the commencement address. Fisk's commencement day happens to be the hundredth anniversary of Mrs. Stowe's birthday. Dr. Stowe has generously selected Fisk University as the place which shall have the honor of his address on that day. The Southern people look upon Mrs. Stowe's place in history somewhat differently from the majority of Northern people. This seems inevitable, but all unite in paying tribute to the memory of one of the most distinguished literary women in the world's history. Some go so far as to think and say that Mrs. Stowe's book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, actually caused the Civil War. At the other extreme are those who think and say that this book had nothing to do with it. Somewhere between these two extremes lies the truth. Those who had the honor of meeting and knowing Mrs. Stowe somewhat personally know her to have been a rarely sweet woman, possessed of marked intellectual ability, as were all the Beecher family. She was the mother of several children, the wife of a clergyman, experienced in the vicissitudes of life in the early days of Ohio when life had its strenuosities.
In Dr. Stowe's letter accepting the invitation to give this address he writes as follows:
"I have given much study to the social, economic and constitutional causes that led up to the Civil War. It is evident to me that from a strictly legal standpoint the South had much to justify them both in what they did and in what they attempted. I have the highest regard for those noble, brave and devoted men and women that sustained the cause of the South. They were inspired by a deeply religious spirit, and fought as the old Crusaders fought for what they sincerely believed to be a holy cause. They fought with a self-sacrificing devotion that made even defeat glorious by the splendor of their herolism. Yet I firmly believe that defeat was for them a great blessing. Slavery was, from an economic standpoint, a blight and a curse. When the war broke out the value of Northern farm land was on an average of $29 per acre, and that of Southern farm land $9.80 per acre. Slavery was smothering the life of the South and the war was a deliverer."
In a subsequent letter of Dr. Stowe are these words: "It was Massachusetts that sent out the first slave ship in 1636. It was Massachusetts that enslaved both the Indian and the African. It was Massachusetts that passed the first fugitive slave law." Then Dr. Stowe adds words to the effect that it does not lie on the lips of Massachusetts people to tell Southern men how they shall solve their present-day problems. "Now let me be as candid on the other side. Like my grandfather, father and mother, I am a true friend of the Negro. I believe in his wonderful capacity for improvement. I believe the Negro race is capable of great things. "There is in the making at the South a true Democracy on the ruins of the old Slave Oligarchy. That democracy means well towards the col- (Continued on Page 2.)
MISS MAYBERRY DEAD.
MISS MAYBERRY DEAD.
After a lingering illness, death claimed Miss Anna, Lou Mayberry Wednesday morning, June 7, at 2 o'clock. Miss Mayberry's condition had been a critical one since last March, and although her family had very grave fears of her recovery, the summons was none the less a great shock. Miss Mayberry was the oldest daughter of Mr. Richard Mayberry. She had been for a year or more prior to her illness a valued employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board, having previously graduated with honors from the Pearl High School. She was a faithful member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and had by her womanly character and Christian devotion won a host of friends. Funeral services will be conducted from the above named church this afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. B. F. Ferrell officiating. The pall-bearers will be Misses Georgia Buford, Jennie Dumson, Cora Allen and Cassie Dodson.
$5,300.00 RAISED BY BISHOP TY-
REE IN TEXAS.
Bishop Evans Tyree returned from his work in Texas this morning, accompanied by some of the leading men of the state, who are going to Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend the commencement exercises.
Bishop Tyree, aside from being tired from the long journey, appeared to be in excellent health, and was jovial as is his nature. He and his party took a carriage at once for the Bishop's palatial home on North Hill street.
The party was delayed long enough, however, for the news that the people of Nashville are anxiously waiting to learn, namely, the amount raised in the educational rally for Paul Quinn College, which is one of the oldest Negro colleges in the South. It was learned that $5,300 was raised in the spring rally just closed. This amount, it was learned, will put the institution in fairly good shape financially.
CALL FOR THE CITY FEDERATION
The City Federation is called to meet at the First Baptist Church Friday, June 16, at 4 o'clock. There are now but a few weeks before the State Federation meets in Jackson and the clubs will elect their delegates soon for the state meeting. The different alliances are expected to be present with their reports and suggestions and plans as to future work. Mrs. G. L. Jackson is president of the City Federation, and Mrs. A. M. Townsend is secretary.
JOHN WESLEY GAINES HOWARD
PASSES, AWAY.
John Wesley Gaines Howard, the only son of Rev. S. L. Howard, pastor of st. John A. M. E. Church, died Thursday morning at 2 o'clock. Young Howard was in his eighteenth year. He was a student of the Normal College at Normal, Ala., where he was learning the shoemaking trade. Ill health kept him out of school this year, and he occupied his time working at his trade, and kept a shop on Eighth avenue, North, until unable to work. John Wesley was a congenial fellow and made friends wherever he went. The funeral will be held to-day at 2 o'clock at St. John A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, and Rev. W. A Anderson will officiate. The pall bearers are Meredith Ferguson, Willie Rose, Clarence Harwell, Van Upshaw, Malone Henley, and Edward Buford
VISITS NASHVILLE
Mrs. Mattie B. (Hughes) McCauley, of St. Louis, Mo., spent ten days in this city with her brother-in-law, Mr. J. C. McCauley, of 2410 Clifton avenue. This was Mrs. McCauley's former home, but for more than eight years she has been a resident of St. Louis, Mo. Her express purpose in coming to the city was to have a monument erected over her devoted mother, Mrs. Fannie Hughes, who was laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery June 17, 1909. Mrs. McCauley's friends made her short stay quite a delightful one. She found much pleasure in visiting the schools from which she graduated—Pear High in '99, and Fisk University in '01. She left for her home Sunday morning, June 4.
VISITING IN CHICAGO.
Mr. Clarence B. Irons, one of Nashville's popular young men, left the city for Chicago, Ill., where he will visit his many friends. He will be joined later on by Mr. Robert J. Sherrell, Jr., the young vocalist of the city, and also Mr. Carl Merrell. After being entertained by their friends they are to visit Milwaukee,
No.23
MEETING IN MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI
Army of Workers Attending.
EVERY PHASE OF TEACHING AND CONDUCTING A SUNDAY SCHOOL TO BE DISCUSSED, METROPOLIS OF MISSISSIPPI ALIVE WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTIANITY — LARGEST ATTENDANCE EVER WITNESSED AT SUCH A MEETING AMONG NEGROES.
Meridian, Miss., June 7.—Several thousand Sunday-school workers crowded in the auditorium of the Baptist Seminary to take part in the opening of the Sunday-School Congress of the National Baptist Convention, which began its sixth annual session here this morning and will continue until Sunday night.
When Dr. C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman, of Nashville, Tenn., called the Congress to order a chorus of 100 voices, selected from all the churches of the city, under the direction of Dr. N. H. Pius, sang "Hail the Baptist Congress," and thousands of voices enthusiastically joined in the song. A song and prayer service followed, lasting thirty minutes. Dr. Clark made a short address, outlining the work, and introduced Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, of the Congress, the young man who had labored hard for the success of the meeting.
Mr. Boyd commended the committee that had arranged for the entertainment of the Congress and visitors. He referred to the rapid growth of the organization in the past four years, declaring that it was a factor in the development of the youth of the race.
The entire time of the meeting will be spent in discussing plans and methods for the advancement of Sunday-school work in its several departments. In keeping with this object, a host of representatives delved into the discussions and reading of papers on Sunday-school work, and if the first day's work is kept up, the proceedings will make the most complete Sunday-school book that the world has ever known. Experts in the Sunday-school work, whose reputations are not confined to this country, are here assisting in shaping the future of the Negro Baptists, who have planned successfully and are rapidly erecting a splendid religious and intellectual monument for their young people. The Sunday-School Congress has more than twenty-five thousand Sunday-schools to draw upon for representatives and support, as every Sunday-school is entitled to send one or more delegates. Every incoming train since Tuesday night has brought in special cars with large crowds. The slogan of the leaders of this popular movement during the past several months has been "Meet us at Meridian," while another expression that has attracted much attention is "You have business at the Congress."
The local committee rendered a program at the opening that was entertaining in every way. The night service on the first day was splendid. Among the distinguished visitors was the Governor of the State of Mississippi, Hon. E. H. Noel, who has gained much distinction as a Sunday-school worker and enthusiast. His words of admonition to the Negro Baptist Sunday-school forces of the United States were received with prolonged applause.
DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS.
The following departmental meetings are being held at the various churches in the city and at the high school just across the way from the church: The Cradle Roll and Home Department, The Advanced and Primary Teachers Department, The Missionary Conference, The Metoka and Galedai Movement under the direction of the National Baptist Bible Class, The Special Conference of (Continued on Page 2.)

DR. STOWE AT FISK. (Continued from Page 1.)
ored man, and that too from the very instinct of self-preservation, for it is certain that any unfairness permitted against colored men will, in times of party strife and rancor, be tried against white men.
"Let the colored man trust himself and his interests to the new democracy of the South. His main business now it so fit himself for the place he is to fill in that democracy. Opportunity is of no avail without the knowledge and ability to improve that opportunity. The colored man will find just that place in that democracy that he is fit for, and he will rise or fall according to his intrinsic worth. As to race prejudice, the less he thinks or says about that the better for him. It exists and will continue to exist and must be reckoned with; but it does not act against the colored man alone; it exists against the Irish, the Jew, the Italian as well. The only way to deal with it is to make it absurd by rising above that character and condition that makes it reasonable. Hence the value of such work as is being done at Fisk University."

THE GREAT CONGRESS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Superintendents and Assistant Superintendents of Sunday-schools. These meetings are held in the afternoon of each day, as the Congress session proper begins at nine and last until 1:30 o'clock. At three o'clock the entire delegation is subdivided into these conferences, where papers, touching upon the special work, are read and discussed. At the beginning of each day, from eight to nine o'clock, a Bible Conference is conducted in which the messengers read and give their views on the various chapters in the Bible, proving helpful one to the other. The best Bible students that the race or nation has produced assist in these conferences.
Eighteen subjects with three special addresses makes up the work of these meetings. These eighteen subjects are divided to be delivered six each day. Every possible attention was given to the music that is being rendered at the Congress, under the direction of Rev N. H. Pius, the national chorister. The songs are written, compiled and printed by members of the race and are selected from a list of eighteen different song books, and placed in the musical program. This, however, will not preclude congregational singing, which was indulged in from time to time in the opening session.
The Congress will also observe National Children's Day in the nature of a Model Sunday-School, held at the Baptist Seminary. Messengers will be sent from the Congress to take charge of every Sunday-school in the city, to conduct them in their own way. In order that the general idea of the spirit of the work among the young people might become well known, the rural Sunday-school teachers and Sunday-school superintendents will be assigned to the city churches while the city Sunday-school superintendent will be sent to the smallest congregation to be found. The exchange of places is to better prepare the individual for the work before him.
At 11 o'clock Sunday morning, ministers of national reputation, fully capable to entertain the magnificent audiences that will be divided up into scores of congregations will be sent to all of the churches of the city. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon all will be gathered together for the mammoth, overflow Sunday-school missionary mass-meeting where it is estimated that over five thousand people will be in attendance. No auditorium in Meridian will be capable of holding the people, hence all arrangements have been made for seats and proper precaution to put in as many people as the Baptist Academy building will conveniently accommodate. The principal speakers of the afternoon will be Rev. H. M. Williams, D. D., pastor of the Avenue L, Baptist Church, Galveston, Tex. Other speakers during the week will be Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, D. D., of Kansas City, Kans., who will speak on the Metoka or young men's Sunday-school class, and Mrs.
L. V. Mebane, A. M., of Sumter, S. C., on the Gaida, or young women's organized class.
Among the men who have piloted the Sunday-School Congress so successfully for the past six years, bringing it from an insignificant gathing into one of such national prominence that it is attracting the attention of the world, are: Rev.

D., Little Rock, Ark., vice-chairman; Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., general secretary; Prof. R. B. Hudson, A. M., Selma, Ala., recording secretary; Prof. J. Milton Easterling, A. M., Chattanooga, Tenn., assistant recording secretary; Rev. Wm. Beckham, D. D., superintendent of missionary conferences; Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. M., D. D., blackboard critic and arbiter; Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., Superintendent of Teacher-Training Course and National Chorister. The Sunday-school paraphernalia department is under the direction of Mr. Lovell Landers, who demonstrates the use of the Cradle Roll, Cards and other helps that are being used in the various departments of the schools. The exhibition room is attracting much attention from day to day.
The most helpful feature of the Congress is the blackboard critic and arbiter's illustration of the subjects. Out of the one hundred fifty papers programed (each one confined to one of the eighteen subjects) the critic and arbiter is to draw interesting facts from the blackboard outline, thereby allowing each Congress attendant to take notes for reference. The papers are limited to ten minutes in length, while the discussions are not over three minutes.
Another meeting is that of the Conference of Editors of the Baptist newspapers which was called by Prof. J. D. Cremshaw, the editor of the official organ of the National Baptist Convention. It is the plan of these editors, according to the discussions and addresses made before the meeting, to come to some understanding as to the best way they can serve the interest of their religious works. Some of the members of this conference have been constantly in the editorial chair for more than thirty years. Special mention is made of Prof. Wm. H. Steward, Louisville, Ky., editor of the American Baptist, and Rev. Wm. J. White, D. D. Augusta, Ga., editor of the Georgia Baptist.
In addition to the Sunday-School Congress, a meeting taking place at the same time, but not conflicting with the movement, is that of the Program Committee of the National Baptist Convention, which was called by President E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark, and Secretary R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., so as to take advantage of the splendid rates given by the railroads. This committee is composed of the officials of the National Baptist Convention, the chairmen and secretaries of the seven Boards under this Convention, with sixty-three vice-presidents. In all, about one hundred members constitute the committee.

FRIAY, JUNE 9, 1911.
Our Public Schools.
On Monday morning of this week thirty young people learned that they had met the requirements of the Board of Education and were entitled to graduation. It will be noticed from reading the roll that there are ten boys and twenty girls in the class of 1911. The number of boys especially attracts attention, in view of the fact that in other classes the girls have outnumbered them five to one. In only one instance, as far as can be learned, have the boys outnumbered the girls, and that was in 1910. It is an encouraging sign to see the boys hold on to the end in their public school education, for it must be remembered that without men there will be no race, also the boy who has not the courage to finish a high school education may not be expected to accomplish much in the world. The commencement this year promises to be interesting in many ways. A sad feature, however, will be the absence of Prof. Smith, who was forced to relinquish his labors a few weeks ago and submit to an operation. He will miss the commencement exercises this year for the first time during his connection with the high school as principal.
It is said that the usual banquet will be given after commencement, in which the graduates and their friends together with the members of the faculty of the high school, will participate. It has been the custom to celebrate this occasion with a banquet and dance, and the question in the minds of many is whether or not this is the best thing to do. There are those who argue that dancing is elevating and that all intelligent people dance, and that they are not affected thereby, but those who favor it, or rather those who approve of a high school class being launched out into the world from a ball room floor, have never been able to point to one single instance in which a graduate has been able to make a living by dancing. They cannot point to a single instance wherein a high school graduate has been benefited or lifted to a higher plain of intelligence by engaging in these dances, but on the other hand, it is a fact undeniable that dancing has been the undoing of many a girl and boy who had the brightest prospect of a life of great usefulness. In view of this fact, does it not stand for reason that it would be better and wiser for the graduates who receive their diplomas at the Ryman Auditorium on the night of the 15th to quietly repair to their homes and sit down with their parents and spend a few minutes in meditation over what has been achieved and to thank their God that he has blessed them thus far? If a banquet must be held, no one could hardly object to it, would it not be a better plan to dispense with the dancing and instead have some man or woman of experience to give to the graduating class the benefit of their knowledge in life and to point
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1911.
out to them the best way to get along through this world? This suggestion is made because of the danger that lurks about these dance halls and because we believe it is wrong to take a class of young people from the graduating room to the ball room. Another feature of our public school work that should receive the attention of the parents and those interested in the education of the young, is the arge number who received diplomas from the grammar department this year. Ninety-eight boys and girls were given these diplomas. They live in every part of the city and have been compelled to go to one building to proceed with their studies, namely, Pearl High School building. It must be admitted that these children had courage and a determination to do or die, for it is a great hardship on the children to walk from the extreme portions of East Nashville and the extreme portions of North and West Nashville to Pearl High School for five days in a week. Many of the parents of these children, in fact, a large majority of them, are wage-carners and are not able to spend 50 cents a week for one child's car fare; it is a struggle to get books and clothes. Again, it is due the Negro children of Nashville that more grammar schools be established for their convenience. The parents of these children should petition to the Board of Education to provide at least two more grammar schools for Negro children, one in East Nashville and one in Northwest Nashville. This would relieve the congestion in the high school and at the same time accommodate the children in these far-off sections.
The argument often brought up that Negroes do not pay as much taxes as white people for the maintenance of public schools is no argument at all. Taxes are collected for privileges enjoyed, and a public fund is as much for the Negro boy as it is for the Irish, or the Italian, or the German or what not. The Negro boy whose parents own nothing except what they have under the roof of the house they rent is entitled to the same consideration as the boy whose parents own great holdings and pay into the public treasury in proportion to their wealth.
We have a splendid public school system in Nashville, but we do not think the black boy is getting a fair deal, and if the parents would request it, better facilities for the Negro children could be had.
Sunday-School Movements.
On the 7th of this month the Sunday-School Congress, composed of Sunday-school workers of the Negro Baptist denomination, convened in Meridian, Miss., in their annual session. On the 10th of this month the Baraca Convention of Sunday-school workers, an organization of white people of all denominations will convene in Kansas City, Kans. Both of these conventions have mottoes that in the final analysis stand for the elevation of mankind. The Baraca Convention people say they want a million saved for Christ; the Sunday-School Congress people also say in their motto that they are working for the uplift of humanity. The question often arises, why do the Negro Baptists feel called upon to go off to themselves and organize a separate society? All of the denominations and all of these movements are working to the same end. Upon investigation we find that while many of the great movements in our country start out with the aim to save souls for Christ, when the time comes for these great meetings to be held, that spirit we call race prejudice crops out so often that the Negro feels that if he is to be saved it will be necessary for him to go off to himself, and set up under his own vine and fig tree.
Some of the Negro publishers of church and Sunday-school literature attempted to buy and sell the Baraca Sunday-school buttons, but when the manufacturers learned that they were selling to Negroes, they put aside their religion and requested them not to allow the persons to whom they sold the Baraca and Philathea buttons to attend any of the
Baraca Conventions. They made it plain that it was the intention of the Baraca people to have an exclusive white man's religion. It was the desire of them that no Negroes present themselves at their meeting. If you can save your souls by buying the button and wearing it at home, all right; but if you must come up with the white folks, we prefer that you go to the devil or wherever you may go, is the impression of the Baraca people. We suppose, and if Holy Writ is true, it will be so that in the great reckoning day all must be equal, and as there will be no giving in marriage in the great beyond, we presume that the white man will then be able to lay aside his race prejudice, but all the missionary movements in this world and all the movements taken toward universal peace have thus far fallen short of bringing that peace.
It is not the custom of the Globe to complain about any neglect on the part of the people toward the paper, but we do feel that we are not treated with due consideration. We are expected to publish the news, but in many cases no thought is given to the fact that we are entitled to be complimented with tickets and invitations. We do not charge for publishing news, neither are we willing to pay an admission to entertainments when we can get enough news without doing so.
If it is true that Hon. W. T. Vernon has been appointed supervisor of Indian schools the Globe selects Prof. Kelly Miller for the post of Minister to Haiti. He is a diplomat of the first water and a thorough scholar.
We acknowledge an invitation to the marriage of Miss Agnes Peeler, Hampton, daughter of Rev. T. W. Hampton, to Mr Reader Leon Lillard, to take place in Paris, Tenn., on the 28th of June. We wish the young people much joy.
Cedar Farm, Ga., June 5, 1911.—Editor Nashville Globe:
Allow space for a few words in regard to the Globe. I have been taking the Globe for nearly two years, and have found the paper to be one of the best colored journals I ever read, being a reader of a good many. It is a live, newsy journal and always up to the times. Among the best articles which appeared recently in the Globe was under the head, A Strong Plea for Justice, by Prof. B. T. Washington. I have shown the paper to many of my friends, and will continue to do so. Long live the Globe.

"BREAD IS THE STAFF OF LIFE."
Bread is the staff of life. It has been so from time immemorial. The Nashville Bread Co. certainly has the most complete "staff of life" outfit that we have ever seen. A visit to their bakery opposite Cummins Station would be a revelation to the uninitiated. On entering this establishment one is struck by the intensity of the affair, everything being done on a big scale. Nothing small is attempted. The capacity is 45,000 loaves per day.
The machinery for sitting the flour is on the second floor, where barrel after barrel is emptied into a vast receptacle which thoroughly sifts and passes the flour to the mixing machine, which is located on the floor underneath. After the dough is sufficiently mixed and kneaded it is placed in a huge trough, where it rises. The next step is the molding machine which makes the loaves into required shapes. The bread then goes into proof boxes where it rises the second time, after which it is baked in large steam-heated ovens, from hence it comes forth savory and inviting. "Butter Krust" bread is a product of the bakery and will be favorably known as the Butter Krust.
The plant is run by electric power everything being strictly modern. The sanitary arrangements are all that the most particular housewife could ask. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," and it is also the motto of the firm. Great is the Nashville Bread Company, wholesome and inviting is its bread that is made with milk.

Of the State of Tennessee, of which Mr. A. M. Lurton is President and Mr. J. D. Puryear, Secretary.

No question of more importance confronts the sensible, thrifty man or woman than that of the safety and sure protection of his income. There are millions of men who are dependent entirely for the support of themselves and their families upon their daily earnings. Inability through any cause to follow his regular vocation, therefore, entails certain hardships and possible privation upon not only the wage earner himself, but also upon those dependent upon him. If he is a prudent man, he follows the example of other prudent men and assures himself an income in time of disability through the medium of an accident and healthy policy. The experience of any individual in matters not connected with his daily walk in life is necessarily limited. When a matter of importance involving things of which he has no personal knowledge is to be determined, he must form his judgment and base his conclusion on the experience of others. The primordian motive underlying an application for an insurance policy is the desire to secure indemnity in case of loss.
The question is not, "What it will cost to insure, but what it will cost not to insure." The cost of the insurance is something every able-bodied man, having employment, can raise, and it should not be regarded as a cost or expense at all, but as a DEPOSIT FOR FUTURE CONTINGENCIES. The cost of not insuring is trouble of mind because of constant consciousness that the family is not protected against such contingencies, and its consignment to possible misery and humiliation when they occur.
On what day this year are you most likely to be disabled by sickness or injury? If you cannot decide on one particular day, cover them all with a policy in the Life and Casualty.
A Casualty policy will make good to you the money loss sustained because of accident or illness. Prompt payment of premiums provides positive protection. If it is necessary for you to work that you may have a weekly income, it is not more necessary that you carry a Casualty policy that you may have an income when sick or crippled and disabled from work?

Beautiful in its simplicity and attractive in all the arrangements was the wedding of Miss Esther Juliet Pinkard to Dr. A. H. Dyson, of Yazoo City, Miss., Thursday evening, June 1. The marriage took place at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. G. L. Jackson, with whom Miss Pinkard has made her home for several years. In the presence of a few admiring friends the happy couple plighted their troth, Rev. Jackson officiating. Before the appointed hour arrived, Miss Lillian Bright sang very sweetly "All L want is love," and Prof. J. W. Work, in an impressive voice, sang "The Nightingale."
To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Eva Murrell, the bridal party entered the parlor. The ushers were members of the H. T. G. M. Club, and

forming an aisle through which the party passed, marched in pairs as follows: Misses L. A. Bright and L. E. Badger, Mesdames H. A. Boyd and W. A. McIntyre, Misses L. A. Banks and E. B. Moore, Misses S. A. Jackson and Blanche Randals, Misses Sophia Overstreet and Blanche Attwood. The groom entered with Miss Frances Banks, the maid of honor; they were followed by the bride, who appeared in her girlish loveliness, leaning on the arm of Dr. G. L. Jackson, Jr. The bride's gown was a dainty lingerie creation, elaborately trimmed in val lace; her tulle veil was caught up with a wreath of orange blossoms and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and ferns tied with satin ribbon. Her only ornament was a necklace of pearls and turquoise. The maid of honor wore an embroidered dress

with lace trimmings and and held a bouquet of pink carnations.
After the ceremony a delicious ice course was served, with Miss E. B. Moore presiding in the dining-room.
The wedding register was kept by Mrs. Henry Allen Boyd. The many valuable and useful wedding presents received by the contracting parties attested to the high esteem in which they are held.
Mrs. Dyson, who is the daughter of Mrs. Mary Pinkard, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., is among the brilliant young ladies of the city. She is a graduate of Fisk University, having previously graduated from the Pearl High School in which she has been a teacher for several years. She has a charming personality which has won for her a host of friends, whose only regret is that her marriage takes her to another city to reside. Dr. Dyson graduated with the dental class of 1911, Meharry College, and will leave immediately for Texas, where he will take the state
board preparatory to entering upon the practice of his profession. Mrs. Dyson will follow in a short while.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., pastor of the Spruce Street Baptist Church. Only a few intimate friends and relatives of the family were perent, as it was in every respect a home wedding. The contracting parties left Sunday night for Evansville, where the groom resides. They were given a joyful send-off by their friends, who followed them to the station.

Winston and Miss Virginia Stamps, instructors. There are twenty-eight teachers in attendance, coming from the counties of Houston, Stewart, Montgomery, Dickson and Hardin. Much interest is being manifested in the teachers and the citizens of Erin are showing themselves equal to the occasion by throwing open their doors to them. Prof. McAulay, the superintendent, and a number of his teachers visited the colored institute and the superintendent and Mr. Collier, one of the white teachers honored the institute with encouraging talks. Many of the white teachers have visited the institute from time to time. Prof. Childress, of Dickson, Tenn., came in and joined in the work Tuesday. The financial success due to the earnest and diligent work of the willing workers' clubs of St. Luke A. M. H. Church, of which Rev. B. L. Love is pastor, is worthy of special mention because of the fact that the amount $113.61 raised on Sunday, May 28, exceeds any amount raised heretofore in like effort. The named ladies were leaders of the five clubs: Mrs. Laura Bateman, assisted by L. R. Dobbins; Mrs. Alpha Johnson, assisted by Ed Hughes, Sr.; Mrs. M. E. Scott, assisted by B. Bateman; Mrs. D. B.

203 Halsey street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
My husband has been in bed seven weeks and semi-conscious nearly all the time. Only a strong heart has caused him to live and suffer all this time, but I am looking for the end at any time. His unconsciousness has been a sore thing. One by one I put away his things, even to newspapers and cigars, for he has lost all hold on earthly things. There is little left of him but the skeleton.

WAIL FROM A COMMUNITY OF POOR WHITE PEOPLE.
Who Are Being Pressed by the Progressive Negro, as It Appeared in the Nashville Banner of June 1.
Fearing the encroachments of the Negroes who are said to have made several attempts of late to buy property on the Lebanon Turnpike between the corporate limits and the Hermitage, a mass-meeting of the citizens of Davidson County owning property along the pike in that district was held Saturday night, at which the movement was strongly condemned. It is stated in preambles to resolutions adopted that since the Lebanon Turnpike is the only means of approach to the Hermitage and as the citizens of that district have always been orderly and law-abiding, and as the buying of property by Negroes would mean its almost total depreciation and destruction that:
"Be it resolved, That we do earnestly and solemnly protest against the sale or lease to Negroes, or the occupancy by Negroes, of any land in the said locality, and that should this protest be of no avail, we pledge ourselves to resort to other and more effectual measures to protect our rights and attain our ends."
In addition to this it was agreed at the meeting that no property in the future should be sold without containing a 99-year proviso against the sale or lease of the land to Negroes.

SHELBYVILLE NOTES
The removal of Turner Normal College from Shelbyville to Nashville has stirred the town as it has never before been aroused for a like occasion. White and colored, all joined in a most vigorous protest against the action of the Trustee Board. Representatives of both races were sent to Nashville last Saturday to meet the purchasing committee, with petitions signed by the leading citizens, asking that the school be allowed to remain in Shelbyville. The matter at present seems to be hanging in the balance. The County Teachers' Institute opened their session this week in the public school building. There is a good attendance. Mrs. G. C. Jones, of Turner Normal, is on the sick list, confined to her room from an attack of muscular rheumatism. Mr. Henry Davis is still on Turner Normal grounds, assisting in the summer work. Mrs. Nannle Benson is spending a few weeks of her vacation at Turner Normal. Dr. J. A. Jones returned Monday from Nashville, where he went last week to attend the committee meeting changing the location of Turner Normal. He reports that the new site at Nashville is very beautiful, and that the outlook for a grand opening this fall in their new quarters is most flattering. He states that the congratulations received from the Nashville citizens, from all sides, were many and hearty. Another mass-meeting of the citizens was held last Monday night at the First Baptist Church for the purpose of devising some plan to check the movement of carrying Turner Normal College from Shelbyville to Nashville. Dr. J. A. Jones leaves the latter part of the week for Wilberforce, O., where he goes to attend the Trustees meeting of that institution. the commencement exercises and a meeting of the college president of the A. M. E. Church. Mr. Henry Brame, formerly of this town, but now of Chicago, was in town recently, visiting family and friends. Miss Josie Griffey is at home after an absence of several months at Roger Williams University, where she graduated from the normal department. There is some talk of the public school occupying the grounds of Turner Normal College for the next session. It is said that they are to move out from their present quarters for some reasons. The new pews of the A. M. E. Church are expected to be installed in a few days. They were made by the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Nashville. Rumor has it that there will be some changes in the personnel of the corps of teachers of the public school for the next session. The report is unconfirmed.

MURFREESBORO NOTES.
Rev. J. N. Watkins, the Supreme President of the W. P. L. A. Lodge, has returned home from making some of his annual visits to the different lodges; he will leave next week for West Tennessee to continue his visits. Dr R. F. Boyd, of Nashville, spent a night and one day here last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Peebles and Rev. and Mrs. Green. The "Cansler" Court will meet in its regular session next Monday night at 8 o'clock. Let all the members be present. Three new members will be obligated in the first degree. The Grand Lecturer will be here on the 15th. Decoration Day brought many people to our city, the greatest crowd that has ever been here, came this year. The train from Nashville bore hundreds of people here. The real meaning of this day and the object of this national celebration seemed to be forgotten by so many of our people. We are glad to see our friends and kindred here once a year, when they meet us sober and we can carry them to our homes and spend the day with pleasure, if we do not wish to go to the cemetery. Put to have them come here and walk the streets cursing and drinking is most disgusting each year. The officers making arrests on every turn, some are able to pay their fines, and some are not.

CENTERVILLE NOTES.
CENTERVILLE NOTES.
Centerville Preparatory School completed the last chapter in its closing exercises with its annual picnic Tuesday, May 30. The place selected for the picnic was a beautiful grove about two miles from Centerville, known as Dean's Grove, which is well watered by a very large spring. The teachers, pupils, patrons and friends of the school chose to walk to the grove rather than go in wagons. They all came together at the school and from there they proceeded in a body. About one hundred and fifty or two hundred persons marched in a body to the grove. All carried lunches and at the proper time dinner was served and the whole resembled a feast in the wilderness. After dinner cream was served. All enjoyed a most delightful day. Miss Amanda Walker took very suddenly sick on Wednesday of last week, but she is much better at this writing. Mr. Robert Bailey, of Nashville, and Mrs. Dobson, of Union City, uncle and aunt, respectively, of Miss Walker, were called here on account of the illness of their niece. The ickman County institute began Monday for one week's work. Prof. R. G. Johnson, of Columbia, is conductor. Indications are that good work will be done. Miss C. A. Mahaffie, of Nashville, is here attending the institute. Miss Addie Griffle, of Dickson, is attending the institute here this week. Mr. P. W. Booker, Misses Nettie Booker and Ethel Walker are in Hohenwald this week attending the Lewis County Institute.
