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. The affair was highly enjoyable and was well attended. The following officers were installed by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks: E. L. 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.
Mrs. John Robinson is going to Chicago June 1 to visit her sister, Mrs. Sarah Hill.
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,

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.)

instinct of self-preservation, for it is
certain that any unfatrness permitted
against colored men will, in times
of party strife and rancor, be tried
against white men,

is to fill in that democracy. Oppor-
tunity is of no avail without the
knowledge and ability to improve
that opportunity. ‘The colored man

rise or fall according to his intrinsic
worth, As to race. prejudice, the les

with; but it does not act against the
colored man alone; it exists against
the Irish, the Jew, the Italian as

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.”

loted the Sunday-School Congres so
successfully for the pact six years,
bringing it from an insignificant gat-
ang into one of such national promi-
nenoe that it is attracting the attention
of the world, are: Rev. R. H. Boyd,
|D. D.,, LL. D, direct r of the Con-
jgrese, and “the man who is re
sponsible for this movement; Rev.
© H, Clark, D, D., is D., chairman;
{Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., Little

Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Temn.,

ister. The Sunday-school parapher-
nalia department is under the direc;
tion of Mr. Lovell Landers, whd
demonstrates the use of the Cradle
Roll, Cards and other helps that are
being used in the various depart
ments 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 sub-
jects. Out of the one hundred fifty
papers programed (each one confined
to one of the eighteen subjects) the
critic and arbiter is to draw interest-
ing facts from the blackboard out-
line, thereby allowing each Congress
attendant to take notes for refer-
ence, The papers are limited to ten
minutes in length, while the discus-
sions 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. Orenghaw, the editor
of the official organ of the Na-
tional Baptist Convention. It is the
plan of these cditors, according to
tha discussions and addresses made
|befora the menting, to come to some
‘understanding as to the best way
they can serve the interest of their
religious works. Some of the mem-
Jbors of this conference have been
constantly in the editorial chair for
|more than thirty years. Special
Jmention is made of Prof. Wm. H.
.| Steward, Louisville, Ky., editor of the
||American Baptist, and Rev. Wm.
|J. White, D. D,, Augusta, Ga., editor
Jot the Georgia Baptist.
| In addition to the Sunday-Schoo!
.|Congress, a meeting taking place at

Buptist Convention, which was called
|| by President B. C. Morris, of Helena

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 Educatfon and were enti-
led 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 es-
pecially attracts attention, in yiew 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 out-
numbered the girls, and that was in
1910. It is an encouraging sign to
see the boys hold on to the end in
their public schoo] education, for 1
must be remembered that without men
there will be no race, also the boy
who has not the courage to finish a
high schocl education may not be ex-
peeted 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 le
bors a few weeks ago and submit to
an operation. He will miss the com-
mencement exercises this year for
the first time during his connection
with the high school as principal.
‘Tt is said that the usual banquet
will be given after commencement,
im 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 ele
vating 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 fnto
the world from. ball room floor, have
never been able to point to one sin
gle instance in which a graduate has
been able to make a living by dan
cing. They cannot point to a single
instance wherein a high school grad
uate has been benefited or lifted tc
a higher plain of intelligence by en
aging in these dances, but on the
other hand, it is a fact undeniabk
that dancing has been the undoing
of many a girl and boy who had the
brightest prospect of a life of great
uscfulaess, In view of this fact
does ii not stand for reason tha‘
it would be better and wiser for th:
graduates who receive their diploma:
at the Ryman Auditorium on the
night of the 15th to quietly repair t
their homes and sit down with thet
parents and spend a few minutes it
meditation over what has beer
achieved and to thank tho’r God tha
he bag blessed them thus far? If <
banquet must be held, no one couk
hardly object to it, would it not
a better plan to dispense with th
dancing and instead havo some mai
or woman of experience to give t
the graduating class the benefit o
their knowledge in life and to poin
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 in-
terested in the education of the
young, is the arge number who re-
cefved diplomas from the grammar
department this year. Ninety-cight
boys and girls were given these di-
plomas. They live in every part of
tne city and nave been compelled to
go to one building to proceed with
their studies, namely, Pearl High
School building. It must be admit.
te@ that these children had courage
and a determination to do or die, for
it is a great hardship on the children
to walk trom the extreme portions of
East Nachville and the extreme por-
tions 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 major-
ity ‘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 gram-
mar schools for Negro chikiren, one
in Bast Nashville and one in North-
west 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 main-
tenance of public schools is no ar-
gument 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 ex-
cept 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 troasury in pro-
portion 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 re
quest it, better facilities for the Ne-
gro children could be had.
Sunday-School Movements.
On the 7th of this month the Sun-
day-Sphool Congress, composed of
Sunday-school workers of the Negro
Baptist denomination, convened in
Meridian, Miss., in their annual ses-
sion. 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 mot-
toes that in the final analysis stand
for the elevation of mankind. The Ba-
raca Convention people say they want
a million saved for Christ; the Sun-
dzy-School Congress people also say
in their motto that they are working
for the uplift of humanity. The
question often arises, why do the Ne-
gro Baptists feel called upon to go off
to themselves and organize a separate
society? All of the denominations
and ol] of these movements are work
ing to the same end. Upon invest'ga
tion 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 foi
these great meetings to be held
that spirit we call race prejudice
crops out so often that the Negrc
feels that if he is to be saved it wil
be necessary for him to go off to him
self, and set up under his own vine
and fig tree.
Some of the Negro publishers o!
church and Sunday-school literature
attempted to buy and sell the Ba
raca Sunday-school buttons, but wher
the manufacturers learned that they
were selling to Negroes, they put
aside their religion and requested
them not to allow the persons. t¢
whom they sold the Baraca and Phi
lathea 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 de-
sire of tlem that no Negroes present
themselves at their meeting. If you
can save your souls by buying the
button and wearing it st 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 Ba-
raca people. We suppose, and ii Holy
Writ ‘s true, it wil! be so that in the
great reckoning day all must be
equal, and as there will ‘be no g.ving
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 thet we are not treat:
ed 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 invi-
tations, We do not charge for pub-
lishing news, neither are we willing
to pay an admission to entertain-
ments when we can get enough news
without doing so,
if it is true that Hon. W. T. Vernon
has been appointed supervisor of In-
dian schools the Globe selects Prot.
Kelly Miller for the post of Minister
to Haiti. He is a dipiomat 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

Cedar Farm, Ga., June 5, 1911—
Editor Nashville Globe:
‘Allow space for''a few words in te-
gard to the Globe.’ I have been tak-
ing the Globe for! nearly two years,
and have found the paper to be one
of the best colored journals I eyer
read, being a reader of a good many.
It is a live, newsy journal and always
up to the times. Among the best ar-
ticles which appeared recently in the
Globe was under the head, A Strong
Plea for Justice, by Prof, B. T. Wash-
ington. I have shown the paper to
many of my friends, and will con-
tinue to do so. Long live the Globe.
Respectfully,
JAMBS JACKSON.

“BREAD IS THE STAFF OF LIFE.”
Bread is the staff of life. It has
been so fiom time immemorial, The
Nashville Bread Co. certainly has
the most complete “staff of life” out-
fit that we have ever seen. A visit
to their bakery opposite Cummins
Station would be a revelation to the
uninitiated. On entering this estab-
lishment one is struck by the im-
mensity of the affair, everything be-
ing done on a big scale. Nothing
small is attempted. The capacity
is 45,000 loaves per day.
‘The machinery for sifting 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 ma-
‘chine, which is located on the floor
‘underneath, After the dough is suf-
ficiently mixfed and kneaded it is
‘Placed in a huge trough, where it
‘rises, The next step is the molding
‘machine which makes the loaves into
‘Tequired 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 in-
viting is its bread that ls made with

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 depend-
ent entirely for the support of
themselves and their families upon
their daily earnings. —_ Inability
through any cause to follow his regu-
lar vocation, therefore, entails cer-
tain hardships and possible privation
upon not only the wage earner him-
Self, but also upon those dependent
upon him. If he is a prudent man,
he follows the example of other pru-
cent men and assures himself an in-
come in time of disability through
the medium. of an accident and
healthy policy. The experience of
any individual in matters not con-
nected with his daily walk in life
is necessarily limited, When a mat-
ter of importance involving things of
which he has no personal knowledge
is to be determined, he must form
his judgntent and base his conclusion
on the experience of others. The
primordian motive underlying an ap-
Plication for an insurance policy is
the desite 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.” ‘he cost of the in-
surance 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
Depostr YoR FUTURE CONTINGENCIES.
The cost of not insuring is trouble of
mind because of constant -conscious-
ness 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 Casual-
ty.
A Casualty policy will make good
to you the money loss sustained be-
cause of accident or illness, Prompt
payment of premiums provides posi-
tive protection,
If it is necessary for you to work
that you may have a weekly income,
is it 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.
MCFRANKLIN-KING.
Mr. John McFranklin, of Evansville, Ind., and Miss Birdie King, of this city, were united in marriage at the residence of the bride's parents, on Eighth avenue, North, last Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. 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.

ERIN NOTES
The Colored Teachers' Institute of Houston and Stewart Counties convened at Erin, Tenn., June 5, P. P. Whitson, conductor; Mrs. Mary Allen, secretary; W. P. Nichols, P. D. Kingins, B. T. 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. Love, assisted by P. Newell. Three sermons were preached by Revs. B. L. Love, B. Dobbins and A.

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.

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.

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. Mr. George Ransom's beautiful home was destroyed by fire last Tuesday. Mr. Ransom is an active member in the K. of P., Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges. Each of them donated a neat sum of money to him. Let fellowship and brotherly love continue. One of the most shocking incidents to nappen in Murfreesboro was the death or Mrs. Harris. Mr. and Mrs. Harris, of Lebanon, have been here only a short while in the undertaking business. Miss Pearl Gray was the guest of Annie Lue Ransom a few days last week.

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.
