NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. AMERICAN INTER- CHURCH COLLEGE TO BE ESTABLISHED IN THIS CITY Deserving Negroes to be Cared for. LOCATED AT CORNER GAY AND SIXTH AVENUE—NEED FOR THE WORK AMONG NEGROES—HON. J. C. NAPIER DONATES—AIM OF THE MOVEMENT—EXECUTIVE BOARD FOR COLORED PEOPLE — NEGRO UNIVERSITIES WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION. Extensive plans full of large promise are rapidly maturing which will mean the establishment in Nashville of the first training school for colored religious and social workers in the world. The school is to be co-operative with the "American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers" which was organized some months ago in this city, and which will begin operations September 12, 1912. Rev. J. E. McCulloch, formerly President of the Methodist Training School for Christian Workers, is General Secretary, and the plan for a department devoted to colored people grew out of the need for such a work that was brought home to Mr. McCulloch in connection with his work in the Methodist Institution. The American Interchurch College will have a capitalization of $1,000-000, and the colored department will ultimately raise $200,000 making the total endowment $1,200,000. The offices of the parent institution will be, as formerly stated, in the old Andrew Marshall residence, which has recently been purchased for the purpose, and suitable buildings will be secured in the central part of the city for the colored department. Need for the Work. The need for trained colored workers for service among the colored race has been long apparent to the thinking people of both races, and no sooner was the plan proposed than it had the immediate and cordial approval of educators and religious leaders all over the country. J. C. Napier, recently appointed by President Taft as Register of the United States Treasury, gave $4,000 on condition that $10,000 be raised in addition for the purchase of a permanent site for the colored department. This condition has been met and the success of the undertaking is assured. In his temporary offices in the Stahlman Building, Mr. McCulloch is daily receiving letters from prominent men and women in all sections of the country commending the plan, offering assistance and pledging co-operation. Aim of the Movement The Colored Department or Training School will aim to train both men and women as specialists in moral, social and religious leadership among the colored people, which is doubtless the most urgent need among the Negroes of America. Those who have studied conditions assert that it is now practically impossible to properly conduct social service institutions among colored people of the South, because of an utter lack of trained workers. The Executive Board of the American Interchurch College has very carefully gone over the ground and estimates that at least $200,000 is needed for grounds, buildings and endowment for this colored department or school. It is a part of the fixed policy of the Executive Board to establish and maintain the closest possible relations of co-operation and affiliation with the three large colored universities of Nashville, Fisk University, Walden University and Roger Williams University, so the resources and benefits of all four institutions may be made available for all students. Executive Board for Colored People. The Executive Board for the Colored Training School has been elected by the American Interchurch College Directors as follows: John D. Blanton, Nashville, President; John H. DeWitt, NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1911 Nashville, Recording Secretary; James E. McCulloch, Nashville, General Secretary; Geo. A. Gates, D.

Church, Nashville, and Prof. J. W. Johnson, President Roger Williams University, Nashville. Broad Policy. The policy of the Executive Board is a broad one and is to encourage white denominations to appropriate money to this school, and to urge colored denominations to patronize it rather than try to establish independent training schools of their own. In other words, this Executive Board will act as trustee for all denominations, both white and colored, that may desire to co-operate. A plan has been adopted by which denominations may build, own and control church houses for their students, supervise their home life and give courses in denominational training. It is estimated that $8,350 will be needed for current expenses the first year and $35,000 for buildings and (Continued on Page 8) DR. CHAS. A. ADAMS. Among the many notable events of last week was the solemnization of the Adams-Wells nuptials at the residence of the bride's parents, Mrs. N. J. Anderson, 141 Fourteenth avenue, North. Miss Elizabeth Sadie Wells, of this city, and Dr. Chas. Alexander Adams, of Smithville, Texas, were united in holy wedlock. Notwithstanding it was a quiet wedding, the arrangements and decorations of the home, and the guests themselves, made it a notable event. The contracting parties being unusually popular. The bride, Miss Wells, is a product of this city, having taught for the past three years as instructor of music at the D. and D. Institute, Austin, Tex., while the groom, a graduate of Meharry Medical College, is well known both in Texas and Tennessee. The invitations that were sent out to the intimate friends stated that the ceremony would be performed at 6:30 p. m. Every arrangement was made to carry out this announcement. The Anderson residence was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The double parlors were thrown open, the curtains closely drawn, while candles burned dimly on a prepared altar. Orange blossoms and smilax were abundant everywhere. At 6:30 Miss Jennie Lee Anderson began a beautiful march on the piano, accompanied by Ira B. Scott, Jr., on the violin. Little Loberta Bostic and N. J. Anderson, Jr., led the wedding procession as ribbon bearers. Upon entering the double parlors they were given a scroll, attached to each end of this was ribbon fastened to the side of the folding doors, and as they walked the scroll unwound; they proceeded to the altar. When they had reached this point, an aisle was formed through which the ODD FELLOWS GRAND LODGE IN SLSSION AT CHATTANOOGA. Last Big Gathering for This Year. DELEGATE BEGIN TO ARRIVE EARLY—GRAND MASTER FORT .ON THE SCENE—OPENING DAY CELEBRATED IN GRAND STYLE —LOCAL PROGRAM PLANNED— CITY OFFICIALS AND LEADING BUSINESS MEN WELCOME DELEGATES—HINT OF SHAKEUP IN OFFICIAL ROSTER. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 8th, 1911. Special to the Globe. The biennial session of the District Grand Lodge of the Odd Fellows opened its sessions here this morning under very auspicious conditions. The delegates began to arrive as early as Sunday morning and every incoming train since that time has brought a batch of men and women who are here to participate in this meeting. Mayor Thompson in his characteristic manner welcomed the delegates in behalf of the city of Chattanooga. The Mayor's welcome was earnestly listened to and re- MRS. CHAS. A. ADAMS. two maids of honor, Miss Hazel Thompson, who wore a baby blue silk costume with slippers to match, and Miss Lillian D. Allen, who wore a pink silk costume with ribbon slippers, took their places by the side of the ribbon bearers. Then the pianist and the accompanist shifted to Mendelssohn's wedding march and the bride and groom entered slowly. The bride was gowned in a beautiful white messaline gown trimmed in seed pearls; she carried a large bridal bouquet in her left hand, suspended from her right arm, almost touching the floor, was a showtie bouquet of bride's roses. They faced the altar while Rev. Henry Allen Boyd performed the ceremony which made them man and wife. After the ceremony compliments and congratulations were bestowed upon the happy couple, letters and telegrams were handed to them coming from friends in distant cities and states. The wedding reception followed immediately. The guests repaired to the dining-room, which was a scene of beauty, a table decorated with flowers and ferns was occupied by the bride, the groom and the two maids of honor, while scattered around the dining-room were the friends. The Bachelor Maids, an organization of young ladies of the city, dispensed refreshments and trappe. A party of friends accompanied Dr. and Mrs. Adams to the Union Station, where they left at 9:05 p. m., for Talladega. Ala., to visit the groom's mother. After spending a week in Talladega they go to Mobile for another week, and from there to their home in Smithville, Texas, where they will be at home after August 15th. The presents were numerous, beautiful and useful, including hand-painted china, silver, cut glass and linen. ceived in good faith by all present. Col. H. Clay Evans who is well known in East Tennessee and who is one of the prominent business men of Chattanooga made a talk to the citizens assembled. Both speakers were roundly applauded time after time in the course of their addresses. Grand Master responded in behalf of the local fraternity, Prof. J. H. Henry gave a welcome in behalf of the local fraternity. Prof. W. S. Thompson spoke in behalf of the Grand Lodge. The local program was well planned and was carried out to the letter. At the conclusion of the session an adjournment was taken for dinner and the delegates and visiting friends spent the time in sight seeing; visiting the many points of interest in and around Chattanooga. The first business session was held in the hall room. Meeting was called to order by Grand Master Fort. Credential committee was appointed and for some cause there seems to have been injecter into meeting strenuous politics and it is thought by some that the Grand Lodge will be a stormy one. Many candidates are seeking election. All the old officials are seeking re-election and with few exceptions each man is a strong competitor. It is thought that some changes will be made. To say which it will be is merely a matter of conjecture at this time. Rumor has it that there will be a hard fight made on Grand, Master Fort on the ground that he is a non-resident. The Grand Masters friend say that such a course is stretching the matter beyond reason. They say that he is not a non-resident, he only works out of the state a part of the year. They say that it would be very unfair to go against a man because he is making an honest living for his family, Prof. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga and Prof. T. P. Turner, of Pulaski will fight it out for the Secretaryship of the Grand Lodge. They are strong men and the result can only be known when the ballot is cast. It is also said that the congenial smiling Will Thompson will have competition for the Endowment Secretaryship. The Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of the Endowment Bureau will have competition. But it is said by those who are close to the administration and some who are familiar with the sentiments of the delegates, that few if any changes will be made this year. They argue that the Odd Fellows will not break the harmonious spirit that has proven by the meetings that have been held in Chattanooga this year. Grand Master Fort in his address made some strong statements to the Grand Lodge among them will be found the following: GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. (Synopsis.) RECOMMENDATIONS That systematic efforts be made to increase lodge membership to ten thousand during next two years. That not less than 50 deputies be appointed to push the work of getting new men. That a systematic system of bookkeeping be ordered for local lodges and a committee be appointed to arrange for, and have made said books by Jan. 1, 1912. That all report blanks from headquarters conform to these books thereby lessening causes for errors. That each lodge elect its examining physician on its regular election night in January and that no application be valid unless signed by said physician. That steps be taken for the establishment of an Old Folks Home. That the G. D. L. contract through its officials for a column in a reputable colored paper that such matters as are interesting to the public be given publicity. Following are some of the things mentioned and urged upon brethren: The establishing of more friendly relation with the Household and Juvenile branches. That greater efforts be made to erect halls throughout state and that along with these halls Odd Fellows ought to build homes and thereby become permanent factors in the community. That all fraudulent officials be driven from the ranks by expulsion and criminal prosecution, etc., etc. BUSINESS LEAGUE DELEGATES.

C., August 2.—Acting Census Director Falkner issued today the first official statement from the Census Bureau relative to the agricultural statistics of the State of Mississippi collected at the Thirteenth Decennial United States Census. April 15, 1910. It is based on a preliminary comparative summary submitted by Dr. LeGrand Powers, Chief Statistician of the Division of Agriculture in the Bureau of the Census. The summary shows, for both the census of 1910 and that of 1900, the reported total value of farm land, buildings and implements and machinery; total acreage, improved acreage average acres per farm, average value per acre of farm land and buildings, average value of farm land alone, and the aggregate expenditure for labor and fertilizers. It also distributes the total number of farms according to color of farmer, specified character of tenure, whether held free or mortgaged by owners, and by certain acreage groups. Color of Farmers. . . Of the whole number, 273,820, of the farms reported in 1910, there were 109,390, or 40 per cent., operated by white farmers, and 164,430, or 60 per cent., by Negro and other non-white farmers, as compared with a total of 220,803 in 1900, of which 92,124, or 42 per cent., were conducted by white farmers, and 128,679, or 58 per cent., by Negro and other non-white. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers, during the decade amounted to 17,266, and in the number of farms of Negro and other non-white farmers to 35,751. Farm Ownership. The total number of farms operated in 1910 by owners, part owners, and owners and tenants, comprising the "all owners" class, was 91,856, as compared with 82,021 in 1900, an increase of 9,835. The total number of farms conducted in 1910 by cash tenants, share tenants, including standing renters and croppers, and share-cash tenants, comprising the "all tenants" class, was 181,172, as against 137,852 in 1900, an increase of 43,320. The total number of farms operated by managers in 1910 was 792, as compared with 930 in 1900, a decrease of 138. The total number of farms operated by the "all owners" class constituted 34 per cent. of the whole number of farms in 1910, and 37 per cent. in 1900; those operated by the "all tenants" class, 66 per cent. in 1910 and 62 per cent. in 1900, and those conducted by managers,0.3 per cent. in 1910 and 0.4 per cent in 1900. The total value of farm land and buildings was given in 1910 as $479,696,000 as against $265,151,000 in 1900, an increase of 214,550,000, or 81 per cent. The total value of all arm land alone was reported in 1910 as $370, in 1900, a gain of $168,769,000, or 84783,000, as compared with $202,014,000 per cent. The total value of all farm buildings alone was given in 1910 as $108,823,000, as against $63,127,000 in 1900, an increase of $45,000,686, or 72 per cent. In 1910 the value of the farm land alone constituted 77 per cent of the total value of land and buildings, as compared with 76 per cent in 1900. The reported value of farm implements and machinery was $21,260-000 in 1910, as against $15,233,000 in 1900, a gain of $6,027,000, or 40 per cent. The total acreage reported in 1910 was 20,011,000 acres, as compared with 20,342,000 in 1900, a loss of 331. 000 acres, or 2 per cent. A decrease of considerably more than 400,000 acres is recorded in the farm acreage in counties in the mountainous part of the state where much woodland and other unimproved land reported as in farms in 1900 was not so reported in 1900. These decreases were offset to some extent by important increases in other sections of the state. More Improved Land. The improved acreage was returned in 1910 was 83, as against 91 in 1900, acres, as against 10,246,000 in 1900, an increase of 639,000, or 6 per cent. The improved acreage formed 54 per cent of the total acreage in 1910 and 50 per cent in 1900. The average acres per farm reported in 1910 was 83, as against 91 in 1900, a decrease of 9 acres, or 10 per cent. This decrease is due to the disappearance of more than 3,000 farms exceeding 100 acres in size, the decrease of 331,000 acres of farm land accompanied by an increase of nearly 21,000 new farms. The average value per acre of farm land and buildings in 1910 is stated as $23.97, as against $13.03 in 1900, a rise of $10.94, or 84 per cent. The average value per acre of farm land alone in 1910 was reported as $18.53, while in 1900 it was $9.93, the amount of gain being $8.60, or 87 per cent. Color of Farmers. Of the whole number, 245,509, of farms reported in 1910, there were 207,260, or 84 per cent. operated by white farmers, and 38,249, or 16 per cent, by Negro and other non-white farmers as compared with the total of 324,623 in 1900, of which 190,728, or 85 per cent. were conducted by white farmers, and 33,895, or 15 per cent. by Negro and other non-white. The increase in the number of white farmers during the decade amounted to 16,532 and in the number of farms of Negro and other non-white farmers to 4,354.

Dear friends: Does anybody know the whereabouts of my brother, William Gilliam, from Battle Creek, Tenn. I would like to know if he is living, or if dead; if he has any family surviving him. He has a brother by the name of Brown Gilliam. I will be greatly indebted to any one who will assist me in finding my lost brother. MRS. MARY JANE GILLIAM.

To the Editor of the Nashville Globe: Please allow me space in your paper to express my thanks to the management and employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board for their noble expression of sympathy expressed to me on account of the death of my wife, Elizabeth Davidson, who departed this life July 28, 1911. The thoughtful selection of the beautiful design representing the gate of heaven, to which I am satisfied she has made her late home. To Dr. Boyd especially I extend thanks for his willingness and kindness which he extended to me in my distress. Now to the many friends, neighbors and church I offer thanks for their kindness during the illness of my wife. PASSES MISSOURI BOARD. We see from the associated press dispatches that Dr. Lucien P. Richardson passed a satisfactory examination before the Board of Medical Examiners at Jefferson City, Mo., on July 15th. Dr. Richardson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mose Richardson, of Twelfth avenue, South; a graduate of Walden and Meharry Colleges. He has already passed the state board of Medical Examiners. SAN ANTONIO HONORS REV. HENRY A. BOYD. San Antonio's Hustler. Henry Allen Boyd—of San Antonio, first, Nashville second and of the South third, may his shadow never grow less. How it must have warmed the cockles of his heart to face once more dear devoted friends, comrades of yore, and a bunch of enthusiastic admirers, ready to do him any honor, pay him every homage for in the vernacular of the day Allen has long since arrived, and the speed of his gate in the future and the length and breadth of his accomplishments will be measured only by the length of his residence upon this mundane ball. He is a young race man, one who has come to the conclusion that Ethiopia can and must measure arms with any of its rivals, and the drone who sits in the hive of race progress must go. That was a great crowd of youngsters—that stag, and they were strong on Allen—he was and deservedly it. J. Milton Bumbrey, one of the brightest young men in Tamale town whose friends wonder why he continues to hide his light behind a bushel, presided as master of ceremonies and he did not botch the job. Jess is some speaker, and aside from his affection for his most excellent sisters, loves Allen like the small boy likes sugar cane. From his expansive smile, it was easy to see that Mr. Bumbrey did not care how much the boys enjoyed themselves. He asked Dr. J. T. Walton, capitalist and the President and owner of the Walton Realty and Construction Co., to introduce Mr. Boyd, and that worthy young man proceeded to wind up. When he let loose every body there agreed that something had been said Mr. Boyd was characterized as a young man self made, one who had successfully made the maker, who was identified with every important race move north, south, east, west everywhere. His modesty and loyalty to his friends were not forgotten. Mr. Boyd's response was touching—tenderly and pathetically he referred to past incidents in which San Antonio was concerned, recounted his many and varied struggles, his unflagging loyalty to Tamale town, the home of true hearts and loyal friends, and then he went some—from New York to California, from Maine to Texas, our young man carried his hearers, opening up a vast vista of race possibilities, being interrupted repeatedly by his hearers, who had gotten full to the shakedown point of the meaty logic going the rounds. Mr. Boyd wore the smile that never comes off—and well he might, for was he not at home—among the finest—was there not Augustus Ceasar Johnson, R. Everett Bumbrey, Henry O. Nell, Jr., Ben Bramblette, F. Washington Tucker, and all the Gladiators of Emancipation Days—days that are ever sweet? The dapper young man of not so long since in swallow tail and patent leather had returned to his own seasoned and mature, presto change—swathed n a Prince Albert, and wearing Rev. as the handle for his name, but San Antonio, would not have stinted the welcome if he had swooped down on us as Mutt or Jeff. Mr. Boyd's address was fully enjoyed and the crowd could have stood for much more. REGISTRATION District No. 9—Pasco, August 14, 15, 16, 17, 18; Bellview, August 19, 21, 22, 23, 24.

Over the signature of Mr. Park Marshall, Chairman of the Election Commission for Davidson County, and Mr. John C. Adamson, Supervisor of Elections, the following instructions have been issued to registrars governing the approaching registration, August 14-24. "To the Registrars: In order to be registered the person applying must apply in person; must be a male; must be 21 years old; must be a citizen of Tennessee; must have lived twelve months in the state; must have resided six months in the county; must be a resident of the ward or district (no particular time of residence); must not be under sentence for infamous crime. "The city registrars must count these periods of twenty-one years, twelve months and six months, as running up to September 14, thus registering persons who will be competent by September 14, so as to qualify for the city primary. They also register citizens of the county owning land in the ward twelve months, when they apply for registration. "The district registrars will register only those who are so qualified within the ten days of registration. State and County Elections. "All registrations (except the one based on land owned in the ward) are strictly on the basis of voting in state and county elections. Therefore the City Registrars, the same as the District Registrars, must register those twelve months in the state and six months in the county, without regard to length of residence in the ward; but at the same time they must be careful to accurately fill up the space on the books showing how long the voter has lived in the state, county and ward or district. The last will guide and be of great value in City Councilman elections. "Indeed, all the columns on the book should be filled from information from the voters. "All Registrars should be on hand from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. They should make it a point to write as rapidly as possible so as not to delay citizens in obtaining their certificates. "Each Registrar is acting for the State of Tennessee, and not for a party or candidate, and acting for the state, he is expected to do that which the state demands in its alws—which is, to be impartial. "PARK MARSHALL, Chairman. "JOHN C. ADAMSON, Supervisor." TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN SEEKING AN EDUCATION. A Word from President Walter S. Buchanan, of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College, Normal, Ala. As I go about over the country, I am impressed with the fact that there are more good openings for young Negroes of ability to-day than there were ten years ago, when I began making observation along this line. Rapid progress of the race along the various industrial and commercial lines has made openings for hundreds upon hundreds of young men and women of fitness and purpose. We owe a debt of gratitude to pioneer business men of the race who have built up the many enterprises which now offer employment to more young people of our race than are properly prepared to fill them. I am constantly called upon to name young men and women to go out as clerks, stenographers, book-keepers, secretaries, printers, brick-masons, tailors, blacksmiths, teachers of music, seamstresses, milliners, nurses, teachers of domestic science, mechanics, electricfans, farmers, dairymen and workers along other lines, and I am constantly impressed with the fact that the demand is far greater than the supply. Competent, young men and women are hard to find for these many positions. For instance, I can name three places right now where teachers of manual training are needed. These places pay from sixty to seventy dollars per month, yet I have been unable to find young men to fill them. There are at least two other places where machinists and electricians are required and where a comfortable salary is offered, but it is a difficult matter to find young people sufficiently educated and skilled to fill these positions. We are never able to furnish as many seamstresses and milliners as we are called upon to furnish. During the last two weeks we have been called upon to fill two large principalships which require the services of men acquainted with some line of industrial activity.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1911. Registration Days. From the 14th to the 26th of this month the regular biennial registration will be held. On another page will be found a list of the registration places and also other information pertaining thereto. We give all of this information for the benefit of our readers, women as well as men, and children as well as parents. It is the duty of every male citizen of voting age to register and qualify to exercise the right to vote. It is the duty of everyone to become interested in his fellowman to the extent of seeing to it that he registers. Conditions in Tennessee are such that voting is a vital proposition to the Negro. It is not a question of holding office as much as it is who shall hold the office. It is a common thing for the army of office seekers to contain in their ranks some of the vilest men upon the face of the earth. It appears in some cases the best people get behind this wreckless class and put them up to do things that a decent man would not stoop to. We would not say that such an idea is in the mind of any men in this city. Nevertheless, if it should appear that some one is thinking such a thing, after the registration period is closed, it would be too late to find a remedy to prevent such a man from entering into public office. Now is the time to prepare against such evils. A great deal has been said recently about the Negro vote in this state. There are some who claim that his exercise of the franchise is a menace to the peace and happiness of the commonwealth; but no sane man will believe that such is the case. History does not prove that it is to the best interest of any people to neglect such an important duty as voting. Another proof that the accusation is groundless is that when election time comes the very people who declare that the Negro vote is a menace are foremost in working to secure his aid in an election, and they are the last people to give him credit for such aid. In such a crisis it is not sufficient for any man to conclude that he has done his full duty when he registers himself, but there is a further duty that rests upon him. He should feel that it is just as important for his brother to register as it is for himself. Consequently, from now until after the registration period closes, every one, men, women and children, should join the campaign to urge the Negroes to register. It does not make any difference whether you have moved or not, you must register this year if you expect to vote in any election for the next two years. You can not register in the supplementary registration unless you have registered in the regular registration. Every minister and all public officials should become interested in this matter. It should not be forgotten that less than twelve months ago this state was in a political upheaval and that the smoke of that NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11. 1911 battle has hardly cleared away. There are other elections approaching. First among them in this city is the election of the municipal officials. Unless you register now, you will not be qualified to vote in that election. And then from that time on until the next regular registration, you will be disqualified, unless you avail yourself of the opportunity now presented. The Interchurch College. A great institution, known as the Interchurch College, is about to be launched in this city. Connected with this is a Negro department. The purpose of this college is to train specialists to work for the uplift of the people religiously, morally and socially. This matter has been under discussion for some time. No noise has been made about it, and wisely so for many a good undertaking has been destroyed by too much publicity. But this undertaking had to be known some time, and, as was expected by those who know the southern white people best, as soon as it was made public that the Inter-Church College would have a department for Negroes and that the Negro department would be located in proximity to the white college, for no other purpose, we presume, than for convenience, but be that as it may, some of our leading citizens found cause to object to such a college being located near the State Capitol. When one thinks of this objection, especially if he has had any knowledge of some of the scenes that have been enacted on Capitol Hill in the State House, it sounds ridiculous that those people who have lived around there all of these years and have been compelled to tolerate the antics that have been carried on by our honorable state law-makers would object to the location of a college that has for its sole purpose the training of men and women to do Christian service. But such is the folly of white men. That he is religious, no one will doubt, and that he, at times, is extremely foolish and silly is so plain that even the fool can see it. However, it is a condition, and undisputable one, and must be met in some way. We do not know what steps the managers of the Inter-Church College will take in the matter. We believe, however, that the Negroes of Nashville would be better satisfied with the Inter-Church College located in a community of Negroes. In the first place, it would be of more service to them. In the second place, they do not desire to be located in a community of white people when those white people object to their being there. It is not a question of superiority in any line, but simply a question of common sense and self-pride. Negroes who have common sense do not seek the company or social contact of anybody to whom they are not acceptable, and with such an institution as we have mentioned above, it would be the height of folly to presume that you could train Negroes to be good Christians if they should be daily intimidated by white people in the vicinity of the school. There are in this city locations that can be secured in Negro settlements that would be much more desirable than any spot around Capitol Hill. But, we do think, if these leading citizens around the Capitol object to the location of the school on the site that has been selected, that they should purchase the property and pay in full the price which would enable the Inter-Church College Board to locate eleswhere without any embarrassment. We believe, finally, that the matter will be amicably adjusted and that this institution that promises to do so much for the uplift of the people, will soon be launched on a career of usefulness. The True Reformers. In the general dispatch the information comes that the True Reformers, with headquarters at Richmond, have at last reached the climax of their troubles. It is stated that all of the old officers have been indicted and all of them have been released on bail except Mr. Hill, who is fugitive from justice. The report also says the bank is something over two hundred and ninety thousand dollars to the bad. We had hoped that the True Reformers would be able to overcome this setback, but the case has gone from bad to worse until it seems a hopeless one. The litigation will doubtless cover several years, and every day it remains unsettled it means that much more money will go into the courts. So from this angle it appears that when the matter is finally adjusted the True Reformers will have nothing left but a name. To hope for anything seems futile, and yet we do hope that, after all, a fragment will be left sufficiently for the new officers to rally around and save the order at least, and if possible reopen the bank. This failure has been considered a great blow by some Negroes in this country, but there are others, and scores of them, who are not daunted by it. In reality it was not a failure, but simply a misappropriation on the part of those officials who had been entrusted with *he management of affairs*. As Negroes accumulate wealth, it may be expected that these calamities will come, but if we are to survive as a race, we must overcome them, and when one fails we must start two others in its place and always remember that as a Judas was cunning enough to get into the select twelve, chosen by the Nazarene to be his disciples while in this world, so will men, who are dishonest at heart and who care nothing for the welfare of the race, sometimes get in on the ground floor of institutions started by Negroes and manage things in a manner that will enable them to hold on for years, only to in the end rob the institution of all its wealth. Such cases, however, are lessons of experience and the race must overcome them, or else take a back seat in the march of progress. The bankers and merchants of the city have kept the road to the One Cent Savings Bank hot since the arrival of the new one dollar bills with Hon. Napier's name on them. It shows plainly the high esteem in which Mr. Napier is held by his home folks. If it comes to choosing between Taft and Wilson for president we do not believe many Negroes would hesitate that of the two evils Taft is the lesser. Policemen continue to beat up Negroes without the least provocation. The only remedy for such a thing is the ballot box. Poll taxes are past due but it is not too late to pay them. Do so today tomorrow might bring difficulties. MISS JOANNA P. MOORE PAYS A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE CHAS. H. BURRILL. East Northfield, Mass., July 31, 1911. Dear Brother, Hart: I am thankful for the kind words spoken for Charles H. Burrill in the Globe. Too much cannot be said in his praise. He always was so very kind and patient with my work and very anxious to have every sentence just as I wished. My copy was not always the best, but he said he could always read it. Tell me something about his family. I really could not keep the tears back when I read of his death. He was indeed a perfect gentleman, educated in the true sense and very unselfish. That publishing house will never know how much they owe to Mr. Burrill. I think Dr. Boyd did appreciate his worth, and so did you. He was a true Christian. His deafness hindered his doing public work. How very observing he was. God grant that the young people may all copy his good manners and unselfish life. How I did miss him when he left the office. Now, dear Brother Hart, always do your very best. It pays. The world as well as God is watching. He does greatly need faithful workers who always do their very best. Tell me all about your home and your Christian life. I have had a personal interest in you from the very first. You and your family are on my prayer list. God bless you. I am now in the above place. Write me here. Your true friend, SISTER JOANNA P. MOORE. Miss Estella Lamberson, of Huntsville, Ala., was in the city visiting Miss Lucy B. Whittaker, 400 Cross Street. Prices Advance September 1st JAS. R. LOVE, Mgr. PROTEST AGAINST PROPOSED LOCATION. A publication Sunday that the American Interchurch College had purchased two buildings on Gay street and Sixth avenue for the purpose of establishing a training school for Negroes caused some protest among the older residents of the capitol vicinity and about twenty-five well-known residents met yesterday at the residence of Mr. John S. Ramage, on Sixth avenue, North, to consider conferring with the Board of Directors of the Interchurch College in regard to having the school located in some other section of the city. A committee was appointed to see Mr. John H. DeWitt, Recording Secretary, and Dr. J. E. McCulloch, General Secretary of the new institution in regard to the matter, and this committee visited the gentlemen named this morning. The committee consisted of Mr. William Nichol, Chairman; Dr. Thompson Briggs, Messrs. Buist Richardson, John S. Ramage and Abrams The matter of the location of the Negro institution was discussed in a friendly manner among the gentlemen and Mr. DeWitt stated to the committee that their protest must be made in writing and that such a protest would have due consideration from the Board of Directors at their next meeting. All of the men composing the committee are property owners in the vicinity of the capitol and one of them stated that he had only a few days ago refused to sell part of his property at a good price because the would-be purchaser was a Negro. It was stated also that the Rabbi in charge of the synagogue in that section while approving any movement for the betterment of the colored race, objected to the location of the school near his synagogue and he is said to have stated that if the school should be located there is would probably necessitate the sale of the synagogue to Negroes. The protest of citizens in the vicinity of the capitol was dignified. The gentlemen representing the Interchurch College gave every assurance that the request would have the most serious and thoughtful consideration at the hands of the director of the college.

More honor has been conferred upon one of the worthy citizens of Nashville, another recognition has been given to a prominent church man of the city. The recipient is Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, the institution that employs many people in its various departments. The new honor came in the form of a recognition of his ability in the Sunday-school, it came unsolicited, and it was none other than his election to a place on the Executive Committee of the International Sunday-School Association which held its meeting in San Francisco last month. It is said that he was also made a life member of one of the big departments—some friend proposes this life membership and the membership fee of one thousand dollars is said to have been paid by some of his strong friends, who, notwithstanding could not get him to attend the meeting on account of his Sunday-School Congress being in session in Meridian at the same time, decided to take care of him. It will also be remembered that Dr. Boyd occupies two splendid positions. One as member of the committee of the Postal Commission, which has charge of the second class rate, and a member of the Publisher's Department of the International Denominational Publisher's Council, which held its meeting in this city at the Hermitage Hotel early this year.

C. tonfght, the referee stopping the bout after Smith had gone to the floor for the count of nine. Smith was on his feet at the finish, but was staggering and to all appearances unable to protect himself. Langford, who apparently outweighed his opponent by fifteen pounds, took the lead at the start, Smith's swings not landing, while Langford twice uppercut the Westchester man and shoved him to the ropes. The Negro also got in some additional hard smashes, while none of Smith's swings to Langford had appreciable effect. WANTS TO FIGHT JACK JOHNSON.

One of the enterprises which the people, irrespective of race or color, are justly proud of is the chain of stores maintained by the above firm. Their courteous treatment of their thousands of satisfied customers is indeed pleasing to all. Their sales people are prompt, obliging and ever alert to anticipate the wishes of the humble as well as the wealthy. The same good treatment is accorded the black and the white man alike; no discrimination shown in any of Hill's stores—that is one of the secrets of the phenomenal success attained. Then, too, the goods offered are always at the lowest prices. No like institution can undersell them. Their sytem is an ideal one; they pay cash for what they get and by purchasing in carload lots get the benefit of very low prices. "Cash" is their slogan, hence they have no debts to collect. The consumer gets the benefit of their way of doing business. A visit to one of Hill's stores will cause you to go again and again, enrolling yourself as one of the vast army of economical buyers. Economy is taught at each and all of the stores operated by the Company. Nashville dofs its hat to the H. G. Hill Co., and assures them that their stores are really enduring temples of economy that are worth much to the material welfare of the people of Tennessee.
