NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. MAJOR LYNCH RETIRED LEAVES ARMY WITH A RECORD. Served Department as Paymaster. HELD THE HIGHEST RANK OF ANY NEGRO IN ARMY—HAS HANDLED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS—BORN IN LOUISIANA—MADE HOME IN MISSISSIPPI—SERVED IN STATE LEGISLATURE—MEMBER OF FORTY-FOURTH AND FORTY SEVENTH CONGRESSES—PROMINENT IN NATIONAL POLITICS—REPUBLICAN INGRATITUDE. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 9.—Major John R. Lynch, of Natchez, paymaster in the army, will be 64 years old tomorrow, and will be automatically retired on account of age. His service, which has been always in the paydepartment, to which he was appointed by President McKinley in 1898, has been invariably highly creditable and honest in the handling of millions of dollars. He holds today the highest rank any Negro has in the regular army. Mr. Lynch was born in Concordia, La., but his home, he claimed, was always Natchez, Miss. He started in business life as a photographer; was made a justice of peace by Gov. Adelbert Ames; was elected to the legislature from '69 to '73, being speaker his last term. He served also in the Forty-fourth and Forty-seventh congresses, and sat in the house with Lucius Q. C. Lamar, whose colleague in the senate was Blanch K. Bruce. Former Senator Money and Colonel Chas. E. Hooker were also house colleagues of Mr. Lynch. No Negro was a delegate to as many national republican conventions as Mr. Lynch, he being a leading member of the Mississippi delegation which nominated Grant in '72, Blaine in '84; Harrison in '88, and in '92. If the republican administration had been as sincere as they professed to be to the colored man, Major Lynch would have retired with a higher rank than he did by reason of exceptional merit. During his two first terms in Congress he had for fellow-members in the house seven other Negroes-Jas. T. Rapier and Jere Haralson of Alabama, Chas. E. Nash of Louisiana, John A. Hyman of North Carolina, Richard H. Cain, Jos. H. Rainey and Robert Smalls of South Carolina. CLAY TO SPEAK The meeting for the men of Nashville, which is to be held at the St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday, September 17th, promises to be one of the greatest ever held in the history of the association. The lecture will be delivered by Hon. PROF. R. B. HUDSON, Selma, Ala. Secretary National Baptist Convention NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1911. Robert E. Clay, who is here delivering a series of lectures. He will address the meeting upon the topic "Wanted a Man." Every man, young and old, should hear this lecture. Prof. John W. Work, who is famous because of his great musical talent, will conduct the song service. The fact that Prof. Work has charge of the music is of itself sufficient evidence that it will be enjoyable.

ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION NATION'L CONVENTION HONORS MORRIS Big Gathering--Baptists in Pittsburg. CONVENTION OPENED WEDNESDAY UNDER ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES—LOCAL COMMITTEE HAVE TROUBLE TO SECURE MEETING PLACE—CATASTROPHE NARROWLY AVERTED — MANY GIVE THEIR LIVES TO CHORUS CONDUCTOR — SESSIONS MAY BE HELD IN OPEN AIR—WOMEN'S CONVENTION IN SESSION. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 13.—Special trains from the south and southwest portions of the United States brought the largest delegations of Baptist ministers, laymen and workers that have ever crossed the Ohio River to attend a National Convention. Brilliant addresses and responses characterized the opening session of the Convention. Chartered and special Baptist trains, many of them coming from as far southwest as Texas and Oklahoma and from the extreme portions of the South, increasing the number to about nine special trains in all, together with a host of enthusiastic Baptists from every quarter of the globe, is a feature of the thirty-first annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America, which was called toor der in this city today. The bulk of the members attending come from south of the Ohio and Potomac, and west of the Mississippi rivers, but it was noticeable that the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with Pennsylvania and New York, have accordingly increased their attendance. It was said that this was on account of Pittsburgh being the "Gateway" to the East. Not in the history of the city has such an enormous crowd of Negroes been seen in its bounds. The local arrangement committee under the management of Rev. Dr. T. H. C. DR. E. C. MORRIS, D. D., Who was last Thursday elected the eighteenth time President of the National Baptist Convention. Messer, Mr. C. D. Patterson, Mrs. J. S. Morton and Miss Agnes Gould, with Mr. A. L. Ballard as master of transportation, has in a measure surmounted most of the difficulties, which confronted them by bringing the National Baptist Convention to this section of the country, tion of this section of the country. Up to last Saturday it was not definitely settled where the Convention proper would be called to order, but after waiting half a day, and endeavoring to decide the best thing to do, the Convention opened at three o'clock this afternoon at Luna Park, E. Liberty, a suburb of this city. The attendance is very large—mucn more so than was anticipated by the officers of the Convention. Georgia and Texas, as usual, are in the lead as to the number of delegates. The opening session was very impressive, and presented a magnificent audience of Negroes. The Convention was called to order by President Morris, and devoitons were conducted by Rev. P. H. Hughes, of Colorado, assisted The theme for discussion was "The Kingdom and the Church." The speakers handled the subject ably. Addresses of welcome were ably on behalf of the committee by T. H. C. Messer; on behalf of the Baptist State Convention by Rev. E. W. Johnson. The response of welcome by Rev Sutton E. Griggs, D. D., Secretary of Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention of America, was a masterful effort, but was only characteristic of the man. The session continued on through the evening, and at half past five o'clock Dr. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark, President of the Convention, arose to read his annual address. He was cheered to the echo by the large assemblage. He proceeded in his usual calm manner to review the work of the Baptists for the last twelve months, and took up the subject item by item, and in a clear, convincing way, pointed out the good things that had been accomplished and the great needs facing the people throughout the country, and the ability of the Baptist denomination to do their part in alleviating the shortcoming. At the close of his address, the president, in a touching, but at the same time, positive sentence, asker the National Convention to relieve him of the official toga. No sooner had the words cropped from his lips and he had taken his seat, than at least five hundred men sprang to their feet in a by Rev C. T. Stamps, of Mississippi. (Continued on Page 5) SELF=DEPENDENCE FOR NEGROES SELF=DEPENDENCE FOR NEGROES MADE BY REV. R. H. BOYD IN REPORT TO NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 14.—Showing gross receipts of $187,753.77 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1911, and at the same time reporting 306,559 letters written to the various Baptist Sunday-schools throughout the United States, Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Nashville, Tenn., concluded his two splendid reports this afternoon before the National Baptist Convention in session in this city. Dr. Boyd declared in his remarks before this Convention, which is repudiated to be the largest organized religious body in the world, that unless his people exercised more self-dependance, which will make them a progressive and industrious people, and help teach their posterity that "a well man needs no crutches," they were not going to make as rapid strides in the future as they had in the past. He spoke particularly from a denominational point of view, as he said he represented the future churches among two and one half million Negro Baptists. It was the sixteenth annual report of the Home Mission Board of this Convention, of which Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., is chairman, and the fifteenth report of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., of which Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., is chairman. Dr. Boyd fills the secretary-ship of both Boards. These two positions he has held with credit to the denomination and to the race since 1896. The reports as presented by Secretary Boyd were in pamphlet form and consisted of ninety-six printed pages. It reviewed the work of the Publishing Board from its beginning in Nashville, Tenn., in the winter of December, 1896, when without a dollar from this Convention Dr. Boyd began to demonstrate what the Negro Baptists, as well as the race, could do if they would cultivate self-dependence. His reports show that up to the close of August, 1911, he has mailed out during the past twelve months nine million eighty-five thousand one hundred sixty-one periodicals and requisites written, arranged, compiled, edited and sent out from the National Baptist Publishing Board an increase of nineteen thousand seven hundred and seventy-one over 1910. It was interesting to watch the trend of his report showing how, step by step, year after year, the institution under his management had gone along in the face of much opposition within the denomination, as well as the keen competition, which naturally opposes from without, yet he reports an increase of ten thousand dollars worth of business over last year. The report was received with enthusiasm by the dele- (Continued on Page 5) No.36 TO BE BIGGER THAN EVER TENN. COLORED STATE FAIR THIS YEAR. Will Elipse All Previous Attemps.

The fourth annual exhibition of the Tennessee Colored State Fair Association which is to hold hrd axztl, society, which will be held at Greenwood Park, beginning the 26th of this month and continuing to the 30th, promises to be by far the greatest Fair ever held by Negroes in the State of Tennessee. Great preparation has been made by Manager Taylor for the accommodation of the exhibitors and the comfort and enjoyment of the thousands who will attend the Fair this year. The buildings have been enlarged and the grounds beautified to the extent that Greenwood Park is a veritable flower garden. The new dining hall is immense, and has proven to be one of the center of attractions this season. Greenwood Park during the summer, but they have never yet taxed the capacity of this mammoth dining hall. The new grandstand is in many respects superior to the old one. The track is in prime condition, and everything is in readiness for the grand opening on Tuesday morning, September 20th. The celebrated Magnolia Band of Murfreesboro will give day and night concerts during the Fair. The daily exhibition of livestock in connection with the races and the open air horse shows at night promise to eclipse anything heretofore attempted by Negroes in Tennessee. The manager has been beselged daily with a request for information about the grand livestock parade which will be held on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at 5:00 o'clock. Everybody is expressing a desire to be in this parade, and the traps and rigs are receiving the finishing touches. All the space in the Floral Agriculture Hall has been taken, and special provision is being made now for the old Floral Exhibits that are already asking for space. The women and children will play a conspicuous part in the Fair. The heads of the ladies' department are doing excellent work, and they will not be behind the men in rendering their part to make the Fair a success. (Continued on Page 5) DR. R. H. BOYD, D.

Nations, powers and crowned heads stand ever willing and eager to concede the growing tendency and rising supremacy of their domain, and even as much can be said of the power of our club. We have labored under possibilities and probabilities for many years, with the possibility of attaining a real literary stand point, while on the other hand the probability of gaining this recognition and inspiration from the public now possessing the symptoms of the possibility of a real literary club makes our probabilities of favoritism keenly felt. About a year ago the club entertained a departing guest, who was about to set sail for his school and who at one time was connected with our club in the person of Mr. I. B. Scott, but at this meeting the latter can but share honor of entertaining the club at his home, with a very unique program: Music, Club; Remarks, President; Ideal Manhood, B. S. Scruggs; Music, Y. M. L. C. Quartette; Joint discussion, Messrs. Johnson and Winter; Music, Quartette, Prose, Club Poet, A. R. Stockard; Remarks, Messrs. Scott and Williams. Meeting adjourned to meet with Mr. S. H.

GOOD SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION MEETING By far one of the best meetings of the Sunday-School Union of the Negro Baptist churches and Sunday-schools, of Nashville, was held last Sunday afternoon at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, South Hill street. Rev. R. Page, the pastor, royally entertained the Union. While there was no special program for the occasion, because the Program Committee failed to make announcement early enough, the president of the meeting Rev. T. J. Lewis, carried out an impromptu program. Congress chorister, Rev. N. H. Plus, who is in Pittsburgh, left a vacancy in conducting the singing, this, however, was supplied and the song service proved an enjoyable part of the evening's entertainment. After some preliminary remarks, Rev. Lewis introduced the pastor, who reviewed Sunday's lesson, which was "Daniel and His Companions." He next introduced Mr. J. W. Johnson, superintendent of the Pleasant Green Sunday School, and also the superintendent of the Mt. Nebo Sunday School, both of whom spoke on next Sunday's lesson. Other speakers were Rev. J. C. Harding, of the New Hope Baptist Church, and Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the Publishing Board. Arrangements were made for the next meeting of the Union to be held at the Fairfield Baptist Church on the second Sunday in October. In connection with the regular Union meeting a memorial service will be held in memory of the treasurer, who was a deacon of the Fairfield Church and treasurer of the Sunday-School Unio". The Sunday-School Union chorus, which has been organized and to which each Baptist Sunday-school is supposed to contribute singers, will have a rehearsal Wednesday night, October 13th, at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. SUNSHINE HOME Visitors at our regular Wednesday prayer-meeting were instructed by Mrs. Simmons, of 405 Thirty-second avenue, South, Nashville, Tenn., who has been a friend of our work and workers for some years.

H. Flowers and is a welcome visitor here. Mrs. Lorilla E. Bushnell and Mrs. M. H. Flowers left Nashville on Monday, September 11th, to attend the meetings of the National Baptist Convention, in Pittsburgh, Pa., September 13-18, 1911. They anticipate meeting Sister Moore in Pittsburgh, who has been in that city for some weeks. Sister Moore hopes to be able to attend some meetings of the Convention. The Christian Workers' Conference met with us Monday, September 11th, at ten o'clock. Interesting reports of work done on the field outside of Nashville were given by Miss Lorilla E. Bushnell and Miss Florence Burnett. In the absence of the President, Miss Graze M. Eaton conducted the conference and explained a course of Bible study for Christian workers. This course on "How to use the Bible in soul winning and Christian culture" will begin at the Fireside School Headquarters September 25th, and will be held fortnightly on Mondays at ten o'clock in connection with the meeting of the Christian Workers Conference. The lessons will consider the advantages of personal work, and the conditions of success in soul winning. Other subjects to be taught are: How to deal with anxious souls and with those who have no concern for their salvation. How to meet the difficulties and excuses of sinners; How to deal with Christians who need help. An earnest and cordial invitation is given to all Christians to join this Bible Class. Do not fail to use this good opportunity for practical Bible study. Do not forget the date of the first lesson, September 25th, at ten o'clock in the forenoon. MEHARRYITES MAKE GOOD IN TEXAS. Recent reports coming to Nashville confirm the oft repeated assertion that the students from the three different branches of Meharry make splendid showing in the professional world. Many have gone to the Lone Star State, locating somewhere between Texarkana, El Paso or between the line of Oklahoma and Galveston. Among the latest to make a success in the Lone Star State is W. D. Sorrellle, D. D. S., who is now located in Temple, Tex., and who is said to be making fine success. RETURNED TO THE CITY Dr. Geo. E. White, who returned from Chicago, where he spent two weeks after recovering from his severe accident, has again left for Canada.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1911. The Approaching Election. Early in October an election will be held in this city to choose officials whose duty it will be to run the affairs of our municipality for the next two years. There are two factions, one styled the regular democrats, and the other the Law Enforcement. The campaign is growing hotter each day, though the democratic primary was not held until Thursday of this week, and the law enforcement candidates for councilmen have not yet been named. The Negro voters of Nashville will be closely watched in this contest, and after the election is over, will be accused of having done what was not commendable. We say this, basing our assertion upon the past record of some of the political factions that have been aided by Negro support. It is not necessary to go into details on this point, for the Negro voters know who constitute the faction that treated them in that way. The charge is used merely as a subterfuge, it is merely a desire to ignore the Negro voter. It is the echo of Tennessee Republicanism, which in recent years has developed into Lilly Whiteism and Socialism, which are the most despisable isms known in Tennessee; but in our approaching election, a cloak is thrown over the real name of these parties and factions, and instead there is written in bold letters across their banner, "Law Enforcement." We are firm believers in the law, for it is the foundation of our government. We believe that every law should be enforced, and also believe when the fuss is over that has been going on in the democratic family for some time, matters will settle down to a normal state, and we will have our laws enforced as heretofore. We also believe these people who have administered the affairs of this city for so many years understand the conditions better than the set of dissatisfied howlers who are clamoring to get in office. We remember the case of a gentleman who ran for sheriff a few years ago on an independent ticket. We also remember that no sooner than he was elected, he flopped back to the old party and entered the next primary in which he was defeated by our present Mayor. After his defeat in that democratic primary, which he had previously repudiated, he again kicked out of the traces and turned to be an Independent. This instance convinces us that it is better to stand with the old democracy in this city, as they are still holding out for an honest administration of affairs. Furthermore, they have the ability to do it, and they are courageous enough to admit that the Negro voters were on their side in previous elections, and they are not ashamed to-day to have the Negro support to aid them in the coming election, and we dare say that after the election they will still be courageous enough to give credit to whom credit is due. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1911. We have no doubt as to what the result in this election will be, but we merely call attention to a few things that have happened in the past that the Negroes of Nashville may not be led astray nor frightened with threats by those people who are trying to make us believe that we are on the verge of a great calamity. ..Losing Our Business Grip. It is a sad omen to see so many Negro business men selling out their enterprises to white men. In the last three months, we have had three concerns to change hands in this manner. Two of these were sold outright, and in the other case the business was turned over to a white concern to do the work while the Negro merely keeps an office. The white people get all the money for labor and a percentage of the net earnings. This shows that a screw is loose somewhere. Many arguments might be made as to the causes that led up to these changes, but no argument can refute the fact that these changes have ben made. It is not reasonable to believe that if these men had been meeting with success they would have been made. It is not reasonable none of them have made a fortune upon which they can retire. There ought to be some remedy for this, and there could be. The first, essential to success in business is in the man having a knowledge of what he is trying to do; then having it well settled in his mind that he is going to succeed in that one line of business. It is not necessarily required that a man open a big business to succeed. He can have as great success with a peanut stand as he can with a bank, and will be looked upon in the commercial world with the same respect and confidence. The biggest concerns are not those always that are making the greatest success. In truth, there is greater danger in handling big enterprises than there is in handling small ones, but the men who are conducting a business on a small scale do need to be encouraged, and to understand that if the proper methods are adopted in a small matter, it can be developed into one of great proportions. Starting with a glare of trumpets and a big mass-meeting is one of the first signs of a man's inability to do business. The people do not owe any man their patronage. When they have a dollar to spend, it is their privilege to spend that dollar wherever they please. Another thing the man in business should look out for, is to keep pace with the rapid strides of the commercial world, and to see to it that he gives as good service as his competitors. These things are necessary, if one would succeed. Coming more specifically to our subject, we wish to call the attention of our men to one thing. No man succeeds in business who does not continue in that business for at least twenty-five years. In fact, no business is well established in less time. When a man establishes a business, he should have in mind first of all things, his posterity. He should remember that as he succeeds in his line, so will his children succeed in whatever line they pursue; for of all places in the world, when the boy is young, he likes to go to his father's shop, and while there, though in tender years, he makes a careful study of the surroundings. If it is inviting, he will continue to visit that place as the years go by. The reverse side of this question needs no discussion, for no boy will spend many hours around a clap-trap shop of any kind. Another reason why our Negro men should strive to perpetuate their businesses is that the youths of the race may be inspired to greater endeavor as they approach the manhood period. Another reason for our insistence on this point is, we owe it to ourselves to strive with all of the power that is within us to keep our little business enterprises alive, that the women of the Negro race may be able to point with pride to the men of the race. Every time a Negro man sells out his little enterprise to a white man, he sells the pride of thousands of Negro women and girls. A woman admires a man; she is willing Reserve Life and disability elements..... $ 188,657.94 Reserve for undetermined claims, ordinary department..... 4,177.52 Premiums paid in advance..... 18,847.14 Taxes accrued but not due..... 17,127.41 Accounts accured but not due..... 2,755.12 Agents' Bond deposits..... 9,579.63 Contingent reserve..... 25,000.00 Special disability reserve..... 15,142.00 Special agents reserve..... 10,758.86 to suffer with him if he is suffering in a laudable cause. She will lay down her life with him if he is struggling to reach a goal, but women despise chicken-hearted, indifferent, lazy men. We had just as well look this matter squarely in the face, and admit that unless we can perpetuate our businesses we had just as well give up the race, and accept the position that Vardaman, Tillman, Davis and Smith are telling the nation we deserve. Pay Your Poll Tax. Every man should pay his poll tax. Every Negro man should pay his own poll tak out of the earnings by his sweat. We emphasize this for the reason that the black man has a rougher road to travel to recognition than any other man in this country. Every low and mean thing is charged against him, and there is always an element which is constantly striving to put impediments in his way. They delight to keep a cloud before him, and seem to entertain a hope that he may forever be kept in the dark. The only way the Negro can dispel this veil of prejudice is to be courageous in everything. He should be a courageous voter, independent of all parties and all men. To do this, he must of necessity pay his poll tax. It is a duty that every man ought to feel proud to perform, but sad to say many do not. The man who feels that he does not owe the commonwealth anything for his protection is a very foolish man. He is required to pay only $2.00 a year for the high privilege of being recognized as a citizen of this commonwealth. It is the cheapest liberty that can be purchased upon the earth, and it is a pity that some men look upon it as a burden. Another reason why Negroes should pay their own poll tax is that they would be enabled to vote in all elections, and to vote independently. The man is interested in what he invests his money in, therefore, he who pays his poll tax will be interested in the election. He will want to know who is going to hold this or that office, and whether he is qualified. If he investigates and finds that he is not qualified, he has the privilege of going to the polls and objecting to that man. If he allows some one else to pay his poll tax he sells his right to that individual, and has no say as to who shall hold this or that office, for he is duty bound to vote according to the wishes of the person who bought his right. The Negroes of Nashville and Tennessee, we are proud to say, are getting out of the habit of allowing some one to pay their poll taxes. In the coming city election that will be held on the 12th of October, every Negro man in Nashville ought to vote, and vote intelligently. He should not ask anybody to enable him to be a voter, but he should go down in his pocket and take his money and buy the privilege for himself, then he can exercise it as to his best judgment. W. B.

It was several minutes before the Vice-President could restore order. Finally when calm was restored, the motion was put and carried withing a besetting voice. This is the eighteenth time that the National Baptists have con- ferred this high honcr upon Dr, Morris, and it was the opinion of many attending this session that it means that he will be retamned as the head of the Baptist denomination the balance of his days, After the election of the President, the meeting adjourned for supper. The local committee is having con- siderable trouble in handling the Convention. The first building chos- en for the meeting was pronounced unsafe, and while the opening session was held in Luna Park, ft is proba- ble that before the week is over, the meetings will be hel& xn open air. CATASTROPHE AVERTED, Special to the Globe: Pittsburgh, Penn., September 14, 1911.—A catastrophe was averted last night at a session of the National Baptist Convention while Dr. C. T.

When Dr. Pius learned what had happened, he at once called on the chorus and con- gregation to sing “The Church is Moving on,” and the people were or- dered to march out singing the song, They did not know that their lives were in eminent danger. If they had, the Birmingham calamity would in ail probability have been repeated. When it became known to the people they were all out of doors, but it is not likely that another session will be held in the building, for there are scores on the ground who were at Birmingham, and we do not believe that they coitld be persuaded to jeop- ardize their lives in a building that is known to them to be unsafe.

This report also contains “The Story of the Sunday-School Con. gress,” which was held this year in Meridian, Miss., in which thousands of Sunday-school workers were rep- resented. In the work of Sunday- schools, Dr. Boyd said that this Sun- day-School Congress had proven to be a potent factor in helping in mod- ern Sunday-sehoo! work and methods. He stated that the organized Sunday- school class movement, such as the Metoka and the Galeda classes, to gether with the National Baptist Bible Class and Reading Circle, had filled many Sunday-school rooms that here tofore had been empty. Closing he declared that the young Negro was turning from the error of his way and with the religious influence thrown around him would soon prove a worthy, honest, industrious citizen ‘The phenomenal feature about the en tire document was the showing made of the rapid growth of the institution which in fifteen years has come front insignificance to a plant worth three hundred and fifty thousand dollars | According to an inventory appearing in the National Convention Minute for 1910. The plant at Nashville oc cupies seven brick buildings at the corner of Second avenue and Locust street. Scores of young men and women of the race find employment under the Secretary of these Boards The plant is recorded as the largest distinct Negro Publishing establish ment in the world and stands as a monument to the energy, thrift and business foresight of the secretary who was its strongest advocate ai St. Loius, Mo., in 1896, when he plead with this same Convention for an op portunity to demonstrate what he has . brought up to them here.

A large program is being gotten out that will be given to exhibitors and others attending the Fair. Everything points to a grand suecess for the Negro State Fair of 1911, Dr. H. T. Noel, the new professor of obstetrics of the Meharry Medical College, the leading institution for the medical education of Negroes in the world, has returned from Chicago, where he spent several weeks in the Northwestern University, one of the leading medical institutions in this country, doing work of a special na- ture in connection with the chair he is to assume with the opening of this year of Meharry.

He is one of the first Negro physicians in the South to make a success at the medical pro- fession, both as an instructor and a practitioner. He is also one of the most highly esteemed men of his race both by white and colored citizens in the state. He was formerly dem- onstrator of anatomy for many years of the college and the chair of pro- fessor of obstetrics is considered by his many friends here as an acknow:- -edgement of deserved recognition. 6 Wooden Money Barrels No. 200 1-S.

M. E. Church. 11 a.m. Sunday Dr. W. W. Pinson, General Secretary of Missions, M. E. Church, will preach, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks at 3 p. m. and Dr. A. M. Townsend will speak at night. All are invited.

We also thank Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Butler for their beautiful designs. Mrs. Westley Perry, Mrs. Frank Stamps, Mrs. Joe Combs. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends, through the Globe, for their kindnesses during the illness and late bereavement of our dear mother, Mrs. Frances Turner, and wish to express our appreciation to those who contributed for the many beautiful floral designs. CHURCH FAIR. The presentation of the comedy—"Our 'Curch Fair'"—at Meharry Auditorium last Monday night was quite a success. An orchestra composed of some of our leading musical talent of the city contributed to the pleasure of the evening. The audience was a very large and appreciative one, and the several characters of the play ably performed their parts. It is difficult to say which character was the best in the comedy, for each had something to say to keep up humorous vein for two hours. Much credit is due the manager of the play, and without Mrs. Thompson (Miss Nannie Perkins) the play would be lost, without her to put a knot to her thread. She took the same long length from start to finish, and we trust the lady who wants to be president will one day be elected for every one of the ladies seemed to be a hungering suffragette. THE GREAT UNION CARNIVAL. On Monday night, the 18th, the gates of Athletic Park will be thrown open, and the great Union Carnival set in action. This entertainment, from all accounts, will eclipse anything ever attempted by a church in this city, and when this is said, it must be borne in mind that all of the Carnivals given by the churches have been grand in every respect, and the remark above is not to be considered a disparagement in any sense of the word; but the Union Carnival folks have simply gone all of the others just one better, and luckily so, happily so, for during that week there will be thousands of Negroes coming to this city to attend the white Fair. They are coming because it is an education to them to see what is produced in this state, and there is no place at which so much intelligence can be gained along that line as at the white State Fair. After spending the day looking around at the exhibits and studying the products of this great Commonwealth, the colored people will return to the city to spend the night, as they are not interested in the shows that go on at the Fair ground, but merely in the study of the possibilities that Tennessee presents to her citizens to produce some thing for the advancement of civilization. So while in the city at night, it will occur to most of them that it will be pleasant to have some place o spend the few hours of recreation. The Union Carnival presents just such an opportunity, and one member of the committee said to a Globe representative, that the Negroes had this in mind when they were making such extensive preparation. In looking over one of their hand bills, it will be noticed that from the 18th to the 23rd, Athletic Park will be one continuous scene of merriment and pleasure, plenty of fun and amusement. A brass band will furnish music during the entire show, then too, they have a merry-go-round, ocean wave, a real steam railroad, candy wheel, and Mr. A. N. Johnson's celebrated vaudeville show. Aside from these regular attractions, they have arranged to have three special days from Tuesday, which has been declared a half holiday by Mayor Hilary E. Howse, a ball game will be played in the afternoon by the Greenwood Giants and the Standard Furniture Line. Friday is Children's Day, when all little folks will be admitted free and turned loose on the grounds to enjoy the many amusements that will be there for their special entertainment. On Saturday in the afternoon another ball game will be played by the Star Giants and West Nashville Cubs. Then they go one further and have arranged two special night features. Wednesday night the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias will hold fort, and on Friday night there will be an exhibition drill by Company G., the celebrated and only Negro military company in the state. When it is noted just the number of churches and lodges that are taking part in this Carnival, it will be realized at once that it is to be a mammoth Fair, for nearly all of the churches in the northern part of the city and many of the lodges and other organizations have joined hands to make this Carnival the greatest ever held in Tennessee, except none. The show begins on Monday night and will continue until Saturday night, with the special day shows mentioned above. FRANKLIN NOTES. Messrs. D. J. Mitchell and H. J.
