NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. VI. NEGROES DE- LIVER TO MOB HENRY HIGLEY PLAYS SHERIFF MADE NO ATTEMPT TO DEFEND PRISONER—HIGLEY SAID TO HAVE CARRIED A GUN—MOB TAKES ..CARTER ..ON ..MAIN STREET OF TOWN—WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE CROWD —CHEER WHEN VICTIM IS TIED AROUND POST AND TORCH APPLIED—THE USUAL CONFESSION LIE. By Associated Press. Purcell, Okla., August 25.—Although the town is quiet now and there is little or no evidence of any bitter race feeling over the burning yesterday of Peter Carter, the Negro who attacked Mrs. Minnie Spraggins, there was a time before the black was recaptured when it was a difficult matter to keep the mob leaders from lynching every Negro in town. Carter had been caught but escaped. To quiet the more aggressive members of the mob the officers told them it was untrue that Carter had been captured. A little later three men of his own race marched into town leading the escaped criminal. They were not noticed until they had reached the center of the city. It was hard for the leaders of the mob to prevent Carter from being killed before it was finally decided what manner of death should be meted out to him. Everything was in readiness when the mob reached the place of execution, and in a few minutes the flames were leaping up from the Negro's pyre. Negro Located. This afternoon Higley Henry, a Negro janitor, noticed a strange Negro hiding under a box car near the Oklahoma Central railway station. With the aid of two other Negroes, who had armed themselves, the Negro janitor pulled Carter from beneath the car. He was taken to the main street of Purcell, where a great crowd had gathered. "Turn that nigger over to me," said a tall farmer, who suddenly seemed to assume command of the crowd. The janitor and his two aides obeyed. Carter was taken across the street, and in an instance many men and boys were gathering brush and placing it at his feet. At this juncture Deputy Sheriff Hayes and Under Sheriff Farris arrived and pleaded with the mob to turn the prisoner over to them. Women in Crowd. While the majority of those who gathered about to witness the black man's death were men, there were many women in the crowd. Some who had remained in the background walked closer to the smouldering pile after the flames began to die down. A remarkable feature about the affair was that while the crowd was determined on the death of the Negro, it was far more quiet than is usual under similar conditions. Not a shot was fired. Many in the crowd who did not have a hand in the actual lynching cheered on the leaders of the mob. The two men who were locked in the courthouse were the only officers in Purcell at the time. Sheriff G. G. Vincent was out of town, hunting for the Negro. County Attorney Ben Franklin also was away. It was largely through his efforts, and those of the sheriff, that a lynching was prevented on the night of the crime. But the escape of the Negro seemed to add to the fury of the searchers for the black man. Talk about town last night, following the lynching, bears the message of the Negro that he "was the right man." It is impossible to trace his words to a definite source, but whispered from lip to lip comes a brief confession, made as he was led to his funeral pyre. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1911. THREE CONVENTIONS OF THE CLARKSVILLE DISTRICT. The Sunday-School, Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary and Allen Christian Endeavor League, conventions met in St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Ashland City, Tenn., August 16, 17 and 18, Rev. G. W. Porter, P. E., presiding. The Sunday-School Convention organized on the first day by the election of Mrs. P. L. Beam, Secretary; Mrs. A. B. Hughes, assistant secretary and the appointment of the usual committees. One feature of the convention which was quite interesting to all, was the teaching and discussion of the current Sunday Lesson. The W. H. and F. Missionary convention occupied the second day of the meeting and was presided over by Mrs. P. L. Beam, the District President. This was by far the most interesting meeting of the women ever held in this district. Miss Birdie Mason was elected secretary and Miss Leuella Britt was elected corresponding secretary and Mrs. N. M. Stacker, treasurer. Strong papers were read by many of the ladies, all bearing upon missionary work. The discussions which followed were pointed and logical and much missionary information was given out which can not be other than helpful to all who attended. A Committee on Memoirs was appointed and read a splendid report on the death of Miss Jimmie Battle, who died since the last meeting. Miss Battle was one of the best missionary workers of the district and was secretary of the convention up to the convention was occupied by the delegates of the Allen Christian Endeavor League and the unfinished work of the Sunday-School Convention. Many strong papers were read on this day and the work of the league and Sunday-schools in the district were well looked after. The distinguished visitors to the convention were as follows: Rev. H. F. Smith, of Dickson District; Rev. J. F. Dean, pastor of Dickson; Rev. W. A. Lewis, Secretary, C. P. A.; Rev. J. A. Jones, president Turner Normal College. All the visitors were made welcome and all proved quite helpful in carrying out the aims of the conventions. Rev. O. W. Washington and the people of Ashland City made it unusually pleasant for all who attended the convention and strong resolutions were adopted at the close thanking them for the pleasant way in which we had been entertained. The women decided to hold a three-days' convention all to themselves next year, owing to the fact that this work is becoming so strong that more time is needed for the accomplishment of their purpose. All the pastors of the district save one were either present in person or by letter and all took great interest in the meeting. The Presiding Elder expressed himself as abundantly satisfied with the work accomplished by this great meeting. The women of this district will be heard from in a substantial way when the annual conference meets at Waverly, November MR. DITON DENIES THE RUMOR; Special to the Globe. Landshut, Bavaria, Aug. 12th. Through the courtesy of the Nashville Globe, I should like to make public that I, the Beneficiary of the Hackley Scholarship Fund for 1910-11, have received the total promised sum of $300.00 from Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the founder of the same. I further want to state publicly my gratitude to Mme. Hackley for the motive that actuated her to elect me as the second beneficiary, and trust that I have merited this high honor, as I have endeavored to work most assiduously during my stay abroad. I hope, however, that I shall succeed in demonstrating the year's development to the satisfaction of all contributors to the fund. In addition, I want to express my regret at not being able to remember each and every one of my many acquaintances in the United States with remembrances in the form of souvenir post cards, and that I was compelled to restrict them to those who were kind enough to let me have news from home, with but few exceptions. I take the opportunity though of extending to all my most cordial greeting from abroad through the kindness of the Nashville Globe. In conclusion, I want to state for the benefit of those who have my interest at heart, that the rumor of my being married several months ago is altogether without foundation, and void of good common sense. CARL R. DITON. REV. A. E. EDWARDS KILLED IN HIS STUDY While Seated in a Chair at His Desk CITY WILD WITH EXCITEMENT—ONLY MEAGRE REPORTS OBTAINED—NEWS SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE—PROMINENT FIGURE IN NATIONAL CONVENTION—WAS PREPARING TO GO TO PITTSBURGH—REPORT OF MURDER CONFIRMED BY TELEGRAM RECEIVED IN THIS CITY—ONCE PASTORED HERE Denver, Col., August 29, 1911.—Murder was committed in the Central Baptist Church of this city tonight at 8:45, the victim being Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D., who was the pastor. The strange, though awful deed is not yet explained. Dr. Edwards was seated in a chair at his desk in the study of the church when his assailant made the fatal attack. The city is wild with excitement for the news spread very rapidly. Rev. Mr. Edwards came here from Louisville, Ky., having been pastor for little more than a year in this city. It is stated that Rev. Edwards was a prominent figure in the National Baptist Convention and was preparing to attend as a delegate in the Pittsburg meeting. [Name] The reported murder of Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D., was confirmed by a telegram received by Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board, on Thursday morning, sent by Rev. J. L. Harding, formerly of this city, and Rev. P. H. Hughes, formerly of Birmingham, Ala. Rev. Edwards was well known in Nashville, having at one time been the pastor of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church on Jefferson street. He was also a student in the old Roger Williams University and was a native of Kentucky, but had pastored in many of the states in the Union. Dr. Edwards and Dr. C. H. Clark of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of this city were boys together in Kentucky. Dr Edwards was married, his wife being the daughter of Rev. Bates, of Louisville, Ky. Funeral arrangements were not made when the news reached our office. FESSENDEN ACADEMY AND IN DUSTRIAL SCHOOL. School at Fessenden, Fla., Shows Great Development Through the Efficient Management of its Principal, Prof. J. L. Wiley. Measured by its growth in the number of students, Fessenden Academy and Industrial School, located in Central Florida, at Fessenden, is to be reckoned with as a great uplifting force of the colored people. The enrollment is now 300, and the faculty and officers directly operating number 15. The courses of study intensively stressed are: high school, common English, primary, music, sewing, domestic science, agriculture, carpentry, iron work, and housekeeping. The plant consists of 300 acres of choice Florida land. The location is not only ideal but enviable. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad runs through the property and has just arranged to stop passenger trains before the main entrance. The largest and administration building, one recently given by the "Prince of Wise Benefactors," Mr Andrew Carnegie, is finely planned and splendidly built, all the work on which was done by colored men and boys. The Academic Hall, The Home, Cravath Hall, Manual Training Building, Douglass Hall, and barns constitute the building equipment. The buildings care well appointed for school purposes. The farm work of this school is advancing most satisfactorily. Last season 5,000 pounds of pork were dressed and 300 bushels of potatoes were raised. Vegetables, chickens, peanuts, corn, oats, peas, beef, and hay made up the varied and valued products of the farm. F. S. Fessenden, the founder of the school, was a Boston man, who saw the great need of the people some seventeen years ago and donated ten acres of land and two buildings with equipments. The present Principal, Joseph L. Wiley, is a college graduate of Fisk University and is deeply interested in the elevation of colored youth. He speaks clearly of the racial needs along educational and co-operative lines. Principal Wiley has developed the school from its period of growth, since Mr. Fessenden's death, fifteen years ago, to its present recognized standing. Mr. J. P. Porter and Mr. Jas. Ferguson have been appointed Odd Fellow Deputies for Nashville and vicinity. SECRETARY BRYANT HONORED. Wednesday night at the second meeting of the employees and friends of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union, Mr. Ira T. Bryant, secretary, was highly honored by said association, same having been named for the general secretary. Enthusiasm reigned supreme and ere long Ira T. Bryant, Lodge, G. U. O. O. F. will fling her banner to the breeze. MISS GARRETT RE-APPOINTED IN MISSOURI. Among the Nashville young ladies who are making some progress in the educational world is Miss Isora R. Garrett. It will be remembered that last fall Miss Garrett was honored by being elected as teacher in the High School, at St. Joseph, Missouri, where she worked all the last school year. She has been spending the past two weeks here with relatives and has been notified of her re-election to the same position for the ensuing year. She plans to leave Monday for Missouri to again take up her work. GRAND RALLY AND BASKET DINNER Hendersonville, Tenn., August 29th. —The members of the A. M. E. Church of Hendersonville gave a grand rally and basket dinner last Sunday, despite the rain, and did nicely. Rev. J. T. Gilmore filled the pulpit at 11 a. m. He preached from the book of Revelations, which was food for the mind and soul. Text: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches."—Rev. 3:17 Dinner was spread in a beautiful grove at 2:30 p. m., and was a grand affair. At 3:00 p. m. an interesting service was held. The church was full, and at times the entire congregation was moved upon by the Holy Spirit. At 8 p. m. we had a good sermon from Rev. Broston Terral of the Baptist Church, Gallatin, Tenn. The collections throughout the day were very good, and the services well attended, which will be long remembered. The pastor and members of the church are more than thankful to the members of the Baptist church at Rockland, and the C. M. E. Church, and friends for the interest they took in making the meeting a success. Mrs. W. H. Young sometime ago bought a share of stock on the Parafine Oil Co., of Denver. She was advised that the company had struck it rich and that her stock had a tremendous value. Mrs. Young is to be congratulated. No.34 TURNER BUILDING COMMITTEE IN SESSION HERE ON TWENTY-THIRD Matter of Letting Contract Discussed CITIZENS COMMITTEE, WHITE AND COLORED, PLEDGE SUPPORT—ANXIOUS THAT SCHOOL REMAIN—MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED—CONTRACTORS ASK FOR TIME BEFORE MAKING BIDS DEFINITE—NEW MEMBERS ADDED TO FACULTY—PRESIDENT JONES ISSUES STATEMENT Shelbyville, Tenn., August 28.—The Building Committee of Turner Normal College met last week (Wednesday) on the call of the chairman, Dr. J. A. Jones. The committee consisted of Drs. G. W. Porter, C. H. Shelto, S. L. Howard, Rev. J. H. Smith and Dr. Jones. Representatives of the white and colored citizens came before the committee and presented their good offices in the way of showing the willingness of the people of Shelbyville to aid in the erection of the new building for the girls' dormitory. Speeches were made by Mr. Burrell Tillman and Hon. W. H. Gosling, on behalf of the colored citizens. Hon. W. H. Crowel and Mr. J. F. Boyd spoke on behalf of the white people. It was shown that more than two thousand dollars had been subscribed by the citizens to aid in the work. The contractors asked for a few days to present a proposition before making their bids definite. It is expected that the work will begin shortly. Turner Normal will open its doors for the next session October 2nd. It is reported that there will be no public school session next fall. A movement is on foot to erect a new public school building by next year. Dr. Jones announces that there will be two new members added to the faculty next session, viz: Misses H. Mae Fields, of Cynthiana, Ky., and Miss Lela B. Porter, of Memphis, Tenn. The following statement was handed a Globe representative by the president, which throws light on the actions of the Building Committee, which met on the 23rd of August. Owing to the fact that there are so many persons interested in the outcome of the meeting of the Building Committee, appointed to look after the erection of the new building at Turner Normal, this comes as a simple statement. The Committee was met by representatives of the white and colored races, who pledged their moral and financial support of the ment. They represented that over $2,000 of gilt-edged subscription had been offered by the citizens of the town. These representatives constituted some of the most substantial citizens of the town. Contractors met the committee, with their bids, in a general way, but owing to the fact that certain information had to be secured both from the Committee and the contractors, it had to be agreed to allow the contractors a few more days to present their figures. The indications are that the contract will soon be given out, and the new building will be in process of erection. The following are the Building Committee: J. A. Jones, chairman; Drs. S. L. Howard, of Nashville, G. W. Porter, of Clarksville, C. H. Shelto, of Memphis, and Rev. J. H. Smith, of Fayetteville. Preparations are being made for the opening of the school on schedule time, October 2nd, in the present quarters. But it is our aim to be ready to move into the new building by the first of January. J. A. JONES, President. Shelbyville, Tenn. Mrs. A. J. Bennett, of No. 8 North Hill street, spent the week with her mother, Mrs. Black, at Jefferson, Tenn. 2 GOES TO CARTHAGE. Miss Mamie L.

His new press and lovely office is a pride to all race lovers. To look in the building since he has been editor and general manager, one would think that he is the neck that turns the head. The house was profusely decorated with cut flowers and lovely roses. Dancing and games were enjoyed until a late hour. Then the guests were invited to the dining-room.

Bived of tiie tectuies A few days ago a Negro in the state of Oklahoma took it upon himself to arrest another Negro, and with the aid of two other Negroes carried the prisoner into the town, evidently with the intention of turning him over to the sheriff. The report of the associ- ated press says the three Negroes were going through the main street of the town when a mob of white men noticed them, and upon learning that the man under arrest was sus- pected as being the one who had es- caped jail with a charge of having criminally assaulted a white woman against him, the mob at once set up a howl for the deliverance» of the prisoner into their hands, The report does not say whether the self-appolnt- ed Negro sheriff made any attempt to protect his prisoner or not, but it is brought out that he had a gun. What happened to the man under ar- rest is ‘too well known, Here is a case that cleariy exempli- fies what would happen to any Negro who might be detained by his fellow- man, and how absurd it is to think for a moment that Negroes will turn over members of the race to mobs of white men to be butchered up and burned as rubbish. No Negro who has an ounce of sense is going to do it. We do not wish to create the im- pression that we favor lawlessness, but on the other hand we would not for a moment consider the advice friendly that tells Negro men to as sist in apprehending men charged with crime when we know that such effort would be aiding a mob in their hellish intent. The Oklahoma Negro, who turned hero and arrested a man whom he thought was the guilty par- ty only to have him snatched from his hands and mobbed and burned be- fore his eyes, doubtless hangs his head in shame when he faces his peo- ple to-day. Barbarians and half-civilided peo. ple have to be dealt with in a manner in keeping with their intelligence. The American people are to a large “degree semi-civilized, and cannot be expected to reason out grave ques- tions. They never stop to find out whether a man is guilty or innocent but when the excitement arises an¢ the time-worn cry of assault is made the average American instinctively goes for his rope, oil and matches an¢ runs out to find a black man, not par ticularly the guilty man, but any old black mun will do, Under such con ditions we severely condemn the idea of aiding to destroy helpless human beings, for no man wants to feel that he was the cause of the shedding of his brother's blood. Be Not Deceived. The family rew that broke out in our Democratic family several years ago from all indications has not yet subsided, but instead scems to be spreading, There are two distinct factions lining up for the coming elec tion, one is known as the regular SHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 19: Gemocratic party and the other as the law-enforcement party. Both factions are claiming to be the bonifide party jand argue that the affairs of the city are safist in their hands. The fight is getting warm even before the pri- mary is held. The law-enforcement candidate for mayor is campaigning already, fully two weeks ahead of the democratic candidate. This seems strange, but when the matter is sifted it comes out that after all the fight is being made on Mayor Howse, and not the whole administration. The present chief executive has made a good record, and -were it not that there are certain individuals who are sore at the Mayor, he would not have any, opposition in the coming election. ‘The matter is being carried to the ut- most extreme. At the last session of the Board of Education it is claimed that the Howse adherents ran things to suit themselves. That jall rules were set aside and favorit- ism substituted in their stead. But President Barthell put the quietus on that tommyrot with a clear statement of the facts in the case, and Mr. Bar- thell’s word is not questioned. We would advise the Negro of Nashville not to be deceived by the false doctrine being preached by the daily papers. Study the men who have conducted the affairs of the city in the present administration, and de- cide for yourselves whether they are guilty of the charges lodged against them. The voters are in a better po- sition than the newspapers and poll- ticians to decide this question unbias- ly, and especially is this true of the Negro voters who are not mixed up in the political broil.

We doubt that any man who ever lived at Mound Bayou. has accom: plished more plishment fore in a like peried of time for the advancement of Mound Bayou's substantial inter- ests than Prof. Geo. H. Mayes, Jr., has been able to do during the brief period of his residence here. A little more than a year ago Prof. Mayes was called to assume active charge of the financial department of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and Manufac- turing Company, Since that time he has been continually on the road and preaching with intelligence and vigor the meaning of the great oil mill and the development of Mound Bayou. Prof. Mayes is not only a scholarly young man from the viewpoint of school training, but his scholarship resis on the firm foundation of good common sense and human intelligence without which there can be no effici ent scholarship.

We understand that the revision of the Liberian Statutes by Counsellor !, McCants Stewart (now Justice of the Supreme Court) was completed several months ago and accordingly reviewed by a special committee des: ignated by the Legislature. We un- derstand further that the compiler has got quotations of cost from sev- eral publishing companies and de- vided upon the company which should do the work. Why then is the manu- script not sent to press? Are we waiting for the American Government to first tell us ¢hat it is necessary? ‘The lack of funds, if offered, will not be accepted by the public as a reasona- ble excuse for delaying this most im- portant work. At the very highest, the cost of publication would not ex: ceed $2,000, and that amount is pro curable from the Bank of British West Africa under the new arrange: ment for quarterly advances to the G ment based on the average custom reyenue of Monrovia Port; such advances being wiped off auto- matically by daily payments of said revenue into the Bank. ‘The Government would have the hearty thanks of the people if-at the end of the current quarter the ap- proximate sum required for the pub- lication is put at the disposal of the publishing committee to send the manuscript to the press. The lawyers at present refer to Acts of Legisla- ture Joint Resolutions and what is known as the Blue Book, There 13 no system for making law references at the Bar, When the Revised Stat- utes are at hand, however, reference | will be made by the Chapters and Sec- tions thereof in a regular and decent fashion. Mr. President and Secretary of the Treasury, please give us the Revised Statutes—The Librarian Re- gister. Mr. J. C. Napier, so reports ‘around the Treasury department say, is ma- king the best Register that office has had since the time of the late B. K. Bruce. Mr, Napier carries all the dig- nity & man needs to carry, and in do- ing so, he doesn’t find-it necessary to be away from his office most of the time. He's there at his desk early and late, conducting his own office. And we admire him for.it, Such men reflect credit upon the race—Wash- ington Bee. The Nashville Globe, one of the most interesting race papers on our ex ekange books, has made good in the Past month in its efforts to have col ored men register. Editor Hart writes good sense when he says: “Every in- telligent man should register and he should also pay his own poll tax and thereby be an independent voter. The man who registers and allows some one else to pay his poll tax is not a fit subject to exercise the franchise and cannot be depended on to do the things that go to the uplift of all the people.

Last week a mob took a colored boy from a hospital at Coatesville, Pa., and burned him alive. The crime against the majesty of the law was very great, as the boy was in the cus- tody of the law at the time of the out- rage. This crime is just as great a crime as though it occurred in the heart of the South. But this can be said of the authorities of the law in Pennsylvania:= Every one got busy, from the Governor to the deputy sher- iff, and as a result a number of the participants in the lynching are now confined in jail without bail. ‘This promptness on the part of the officers of the law is to be commended, and is a bold contrast to the way the Georgia officers did last week in the case of the killing of three innocent colored men and the burning of col- ored homes and churches, etc.—all done by “parties unknown,” accord ing to the made-to-order verdicts. If the Southern courts had the high ‘regard for the law that they should have, the lynchings in the South would become as infrequent as in the North; but by the winking of the au: thorities, lynching goes merrily on, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the party lynched. A very bad contrast for the law-loving and law. abiding South} Tennessee News. A Lynching in Pennsylvania. It is rather deplorable that a lynch- ing and burning of a man has oc- curred in the State of Pennsylvania. It has been the pride of the American people to be able to contrast the safe- ty and security of the lives of the col- ored people in the Northern States as contradistinguished from that of the South. Lynching has been pursued in the South with such satisfying im- munity that it no longer provokes comment; it has grown to such pro- portions, and for such trivial causes, that the people of the South have come to look upon, it as one of the recog- nized lawful executions, and their sen- sibilities are no longer shocked at the dangling of a human form in midair riddied with bullets, or the charred and incinerated bones of one burned at the stake. A few years ago the body of a col- ored man was made fuel for flames in the State of Texas, and the account of its barbarous novelty, the people its barbarous novelty, the people were provoked to resentment. Several burnings have occurred sinee and that form of torture and death no longer invites comment. : ‘There is not a State in the South that is exempt from the hellish mean- ness and disgrace, and no infraction of the law is too trival to stop the infliction of the penalty which first suggests itself to the mob. Amidst such surroundings of inse- curity, it was but natural for the vie- tims of such conditions to seek refuge in those States which afforded them proper protection under the law, and whose consciences invoked for them a fair and impartial hearing.

The infamous contagion is spreading. It has sunken its poisonous shaft in the State of Ohio, where but a few years ago Negroes were forced to flee from the hot-headed mob upon the same roads they had fled into Springfield from the tortures of slavery fifty years ago. The soil of Illinois also has been bathed in the blood of un- tried and uncondemned men. Now comes the sad and unfortunate news of the burning of a man in the State of Pennsylvania. If it were only the sacrifice of a man who had violated the law, it would soon pass from the minds of men; but it is more than that. It is the indifference and spirit of levity which accompany such hea- thenish exhibitions: Most men ‘who die, under such conditions, are soon forgotten, but the manner in which death is inflicted is long remembered by its effect upon the community, All the punishment provided by the law cannot atone for the recklessness o! that mob. It is truly commendable that the Governor of the State is in voking swift and drastic punishment but the callous indifference — which provoked that lawless act is a part of the morals of the community, and its effect may well be seriously consid ered in order to arrest its progress The constant practice has seared the consciences of men, and any individ ual may be its victim—The Dayton Record.

PROF. T. E. CLAY AT THE A. M. E. CHURCH. Special from Franklin: Last Sunday afternoon Prof. T. B. Clay made an interesting address to the colored people of Franklin con- cerning the colored public school, He lencouraged the parents to properly equip their boys and girls with the necessary books and that the children te sent regularly. Prof. Clay said that the public school meant as much to the Negro as to the whites—more than any other organization this side of the church, ‘and that if we would take hold of the matter the public school would pre- pare the Negro, in a course of time, to have as skillful brain and hand as any other race ever attained. He further said that Negroes were be- coming more’ independent and loya! to each other. Prof. Wm. Reynolds made some interesting remarks, ‘Prayer was offered by Rev. J. T. Pat- ton. Music was furnished by the ya- rious teachers, Mrs. 8. B. Ross presid- ing at the piano. Ce ce MASS CONVENTION.

Mrs. Washington House, of, 1309 Ninth avenue, South, entertained a few friends at luncheon. Those present were Mrs. W. M. Patton, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Quintard Waters and Mrs. Frank Bailey, of Louisville, and Mrs. James Coffee, of this city. A delightful afternoon was spent. A social gathering of the people of the Metropolitan Baptist Church and their friends was held here Tuesday night, August 22, 1911. Quite a large crowd of members and friends gathered and discussed every phase of our church work. The object of this meeting was to bring about a closer relation among the members. Each member brought a pound of some refreshments which were served after a splendid program was rendered. Ten minutes was allowed by social intercourse. Everyone left jubilant over the pastor's timely suggestion that we have such an entertainment. MOHICANS ENTERTAIN. One of the most enjoyable affairs of the social season was the elaborate reception given by the Mohican Club, which marked their initial entrance into the social life of Nashville society on Thursday evening, August 24th, at the residence of Mr. C. T. Harwell. This club has been organized only a few months and is composed of the younger set of gallants from the city's best families, who bid fair to become successful rivals to the older members of their sex. A commendable feature of this organization is that it puts much stress on the moral, religious and intellectual uplift of its members in general, as was brought out forcibly in the welcome address. During the evening many impromptu talks were made by presidents of the other young men's clubs, who welcomed with much joy another friendly rival in their midst. An interesting program was listened to intently during the early hours of the evening and was composed of several musical selections by the Mohican Quartet and a welcome address delivered by Mr. S. D. Love, Jr. At the conclusion of the program, tables were placed for card games, and those who did not prefer seats upon the beautifully lighted lawn enjoyed several interesting games. Music was rendered throughout the reception hours, after which a palatable collation of fruits, cake and ices was served in buffet fashion. The club members and their guests who were present, follow: T. B. Boyd, President; C. T. Harwell, Secretary; J. W. Upshaw, Treasurer; Misses J. L. Love, Sadie D. Watkins, Maggie E. Lane, Myrtle A. Buford, Georgia Moore, Lillian Dillahunt, Lillian C. Adams, Teresa M. Robertson, Mattie W. Robertson, Sadie Wilson, Minnie B. Smith, Salice Foster, Mildred Eakins, Jenice Flemmings, Maggie M.

SOCIAL A delightful social was given on last Friday evening, August 25th, at the residence of Mrs. Mattie Frazier, No. 8 Murrell street, in honor of Miss Mallernese Smith, of Columbus, Ohio. The evening was spent in games and dancing, after which the guests were ushered into the dining room, artistically decorated with ferns and cut flowers, where ices and fruits were served. Mr. Versa Whittaker and Mr. Robert Frazier presided at the piano. Those enjoying the hospitality of the evening were Misses Mallernese Smith, Louise Johnson, Almeda Goodman, Ray Williams, Ruth Marie Hambrick, Katie and Beulah Bowen, Viola James, Mary L.

Hubbard Hospital Club met in regular session on August 21, 1911, in the reception room of the hospital. The president, Dr. J. E. Wells, who had been absent from the city on her summer's vacation, was present and presided. The meeting was opened with a song by the club, and prayer offered by Mrs. A. J. Bright. The first business taken up was the election of officers for the ensuing year. The election resulted as follows: President, Dr. J. E. Wells; Vice President, Mrs. G. H. Bandy; Recording Secretary, Mrs. J. H. Hale; Assistant Secretary, Miss V. L. Moore; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. J. A. McMillan; Treasurer, Mrs. F. A. Stewart; Executive Committee, Mrs. G. H. Bandy, Chairman; Mesdames G. W. Hubbard, A. J. Bright, R. H. Boyd and W. A. Reed; Reporter, Mrs. T. H. Elliot.

The club will have its annual sermon at Clark Memorial Church in the near future. Mrs. G. W. Hubbard, who has been away in the north, has returned. The next meeting will be September 4, 1911. MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER. A party of young ladies of the National Baptist Publishing Board force complimented one of their number, Mrs. J. Arthur Rainey, with a miscellaneous shower, on the eve of her departure from the city. Mrs. Rainey who was Miss Georgia A. Buford, was married to Dr. J. Arthur Rainey a year ago, but the sweet secret was not made known to others than the immediate family connection until last week. Mrs. Rainey has been an employee at the Publishing House for several years, during which time she has won a host of friends among her co-workers, and in appreciation of the tender feelings they held for her, the young ladies planned a pleasant surprise on Wednesday evening, from which resulted much pleasure. The party, laden with many beautiful and valuable tokens of friendship, met at the residence of Miss Nellie E. King and went in a body to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Buford, where the honoree was taken completely by surprise as she was showered with packages, seemingly coming from all directions. She entered into the spirit of the occasion good naturedly and after the excitement, expressed her feelings of appreciation and loyalty in a pretty speech. Musical selections were rendered, after which ices and cakes were dispensed by Misses Myrtle Buford and Milla Mayberry. At the close of a very pleasant evening good-byes were said in which was expressed many wishes for a happy life in a new home. Mrs. Rainey left the city Thursday morning for McKenzie, Tenn., where she will join her husband and begin housekeeping. LADIES AID SOCIETY.

METOKA—MEN'S MEETING. "Why should men love one another," was the theme which was discussed at the regular meeting of Metoka Class No.14 of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday-School Sunday afternoon. The enthusiasm that had been injected into this meeting was demonstrated when nearly every man pres- The Department of Agriculture was created to promote agriculture and enforce the laws for the protection of the agricultural interests of the State. The articles to be printed each week will be plain, straight-forward talks to farmers on subjects that will be helpful to the farmer who has not had the advantages of an agricultural education. We cannot live without cultivating the ground. We must destroy useless plants and cultivate the useful ones. The work necessary to do this is called agriculture or farming. All other vocations among men have grown out of the necessities of the farmer or agriculturist, and all are in a large measure dependent upon him for support. The farmer needed tools to cultivate the soil; to supply his demand we have the blacksmith. He needed houses to live in; for that reason we have the carpenter. He needed schools for his children; thus creating the demand for the teacher. He needed iron and steel; for that reason we have the miner. His religious wants created a need for the preacher. His legal rights made necessary government and laws; for that reason we have judges, lawyers and officers. When sickness came he needed a doctor, and increased trade called for traders and transportation, and all the mechanism of banking and commerce has sprung up to meet his requirements. Successive generations have multiplied these; science, art and invention have contributed to the rapid development of society, until now we have a vast and complex civilization, dependent upon agriculture, mining and manufacturing for support. Agriculture is easily the chief of these three, because we cannot live without bread, and bread comes from the ground. No amount of education, learning, science, invention, industry or skill, can do away with the necessity for cultivating the ground. The farmer must feed himself and family as well as the vast number of non-producers; his calling or profession is therefore the most useful of all professions. If this be true, it should be considered the most honorable. When this country was being settled up, the land was rich and cheap. When a field did not produce a fair crop, it was thrown out and fresh land cleared. After the land was taken up and the most desirable lands had been cleared, the same fields had to be cultivated year after year, taking the plant food out of the soil. If nothing is returned to the soil in the way of manure or fertilizer, or proper rotation of crops, the soil becomes exhausted and less profitable to cultivate each year. The census reports show that Tennessee is producing less of wheat and oats than was produced ten years ago. While our population has increased, prices have increased, and if the farmers had kept their lands improved so that they could have supplied the demand, the money that is going into other States could be going into the pockets of our own farmers. While too much of it is going away, we have some progressive farmers who have taken poor, rundown farms and have improved them, so that each year the production on their farms has increased and they have been profiting by the prevailing high prices. Tennessee farmers should supply the demand in Tennessee at least for farm products, and should ship to other States as well. We have the advantage of climate, variety of soils and other favorable conditions, and we can restore the fertility of the soil. Some farmers have the notion that scientific farming is out of their reach—that they have not the education or the money to undertake it. We have abundant proof that men with limited education, and less money, have started at the bottom and have grown independent. Others can do the same; but you must begin at the foundation and build from the ground. You never knew a man to make a success building a fence, a house or a barn, who tried to start at the top. The object of these letters is to help you get started right, and to show you that you can do what others have done; but we must begin at the foundation and build in order. The foundation of farming is the soil, so in our next week's letter we propose to talk to you about soils. Let us get a better knowledge of soils and how to classify them, how to improve them, how to prepare and cultivate crops on them, so that we will not rob them, but rather increase their fertility each year. METOKA—MEN'S MEETING "Why should men love one another," was the theme which was discussed at the regular meeting of Metoka Class No.14 of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday-School Sunday afternoon. The enthusiasm that had been injected into this meeting was demonstrated when nearly every man present took occasion to give his views on the topic under discussion. It was an interesting meeting for men, and indeed much good is said to have resulted therefrom. Rev. John Ridley, an ardent worker in the men's organized class movement, presided. Mr. Rainey King, secretary of the class, read one of the best papers that has ever been presented to an organized Sunday-school movement in this city. The paper was so well rendered and bubbled over with so many good things, that it was unanimously requested that the paper be read to the entire Sunday-school next Sunday morning. Deacon James W. Martin, organizer and teacher of the class, made an interesting address, whereby he made known his plans to increase the membership from 112 to 500 if possible, by the next session of the Sunday-School Congress. He stated that it was his desire to touch every man in Nashville, if possible, by this class movement. It is the first class in the United States to receive a national charter from the Metoka Organization. They propose to take an active part in whatever arises that will develop the men of Nashville. The class has the hearty indorsement of Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor, and has among its members a splendid array of workers in the churches and Sunday-schools. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION ROUTE SELECTED. A report of the committee of three consisting of Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church; Rev. E. M. Lawrence, superintendent of Missions for the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, and Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who have been at work on the most available and convenient route from Nashville to Pittsburg, Pa., where the National Baptist Convention will hold its next annual session, report that they have selected the L. & N. and Pennsylvania roads. They have decided to leave Nashville Monday evening, September 11, at 8:35. A splendid high back day coach and a standard sleeper have already been ordered for this trip to be placed at the disposal of the Nashville delegates and those who go with the party from this city. In addition to this, they contemplate making up a Baptist Special to run through to Pittsburg without change. These plans look bright, because already information comes from New Orleans that the Southern Louisiana delegates with two coaches, the Mobile and Birmingham delegates with two coaches, and the Chattanooga delegates are to join the Nashville delegation making up in all about seven coaches. The Memphis people are planning to join this special train at Bowling Green, Ky. The schedule provides that in leaving Nashville, Monday night, they will reach Cincinnati Tuesday morning, September 12th, where they will be joined by the Indiana and Southern Ohio delegates. It is stated that a dining car for the convenience of all would be attached to the special train at Cincinnati. They are due to reach Pittsburg, Tuesday afternoon, September 12th, at 5:20. Already the Nashville sieeper has eighteen occupants signed up. The entire report seems to meet the approval of the Nashville City Ministers' Conference. The committee desires to state that the convenience of this train will be at the disposal of all who desire to take advantage of the trip to go East at this time. Three people, who are not delegates to the convention, have already selected these dates for leaving Nashville taking reservation in the sleeper. Further information, says Chairman Clark, will be handed out at the city ticket office of the L. & N. R. R. Co. by Mr. R. C. Wallis, D. P. A., or Mr Mustain Asst. P. A. CITY FEDERATION MEET. The City Federation will meet Friday, 4:30 p. m., September 8th, at the First Baptist Church. Election of officers.

Selma, Ala., August 18, 1911. The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention to the regular Baptist Churches of the United States: Dear Brethren: We take great pleasure in calling your attention to the thirty-second annual session of the National Baptist Convention which will meet with the Baptist Churches of Pittsburg, Penn., September 13-18, 1911. Never before in the history of the Denomination have there come up graver and more weighty problems for consideration and adjustment than will come up in this meeting. From present indications, the meeting will be one of the largest and most business-like in our history. It is desirable and important that every church, Sunday-school and other Baptist organization be represented in some way, at this meeting. We do not expect all to send messengers, but all can send a letter and a contribution. The churches should know about the work being done by the various Boards and of the proceedings of the annual meetings through the printed minutes, but these cannot be published without money. The convention by resolution, has requested every church to send $1.50 for current expenses. It is with this object in view that we are sending you this letter, asking you to represent with the $1.50. If you cannot send a messenger send your money to the Secretary, who will receipt you, send you a badge and when the minutes or the session are printed will forward to each church thus sending the contribution a copy of the proceedings. Because of lack of money, the minutes of 1910 session have been delayed. We are now expecting them from the press, as soon as they are out, a copy will be sent to each church that represented or sent the $1.50 to our New Orleans meeting. We enclose herewith a return addressed envelope which we hope each church and Sunday-school will use in sending letters and money to the convention. Send on or before September 12th, to Prof. R. B. Hudson, Secretary National Baptist Convention, Pittsburg, Pa. Thanking all the churches and other organizations that responded to our call last year, and requesting all pastors, superintendents, moderators and presidents to assist in placing this appeal before the different bodies, we are Yours very truly, E. C. MORRIS, President. R. B. HUDSON, Secretary. NEW ODD FELLOW LODGE NEW ODD FELLOW LODGE.
