NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. CAMPAIGN GROWING HOT REGULARS IN SHAPE FOR FINAL DASH Bobby Clay in the Thick of Fight. LAW ENFORCEMENT CROWD BEATING THE BUSH-MAKING EFFORT TO CORRAL THE NEGRO-THE MAN WITH THE BULGING BROWS AND ADOPTED SPEECH-NEGROES STANDING PAT-WILL NOT BE BEGUILED BY FALSE PROPHETS-RECENT MEETING FOR CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS TURNS OUT TO BE A LAW ENFORCEMENT POW WOW. With every hour the political campaign of this city is growing hotter. The Law Enforcement crowd held a meeting Tuesday night, at which all candidates who are to contest in the election were nominated. It was necessary to hunt around and find a new man to run for the Board of Public Works, as the man nominated when the Law Enforcement people selected their candidate for Mayor felt that he could not afford to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb, consequently he informed them that he could not serve. The bush is being beaten in every part of the city. Efforts are being put forth to corral the Negro votes. They are going around with the white flag crying peace and as is always the case, some of our weak-kneed Negro men are following their plea. They were in such a hard state that it was necessary to import Brother Bob Clay, with the bulging brow, of Bristol, to come down and hide himself behind the civic and righteous screen, and endeavor to beguile the Negroes of Nashville, but his efforts have proved nothing. Bob Clay has learned to speak just like Booker Washington, and has committed to memory several of his most striking expressions that he gets off in fine style. He swears by all the gods of East Tennessee that his mission has nothing to do with politics, and so anxious is he that is known, that he takes pains to tell the reporter to always put it in the paper that he does not touch upon local commission, and he clinches his fist and grits his teeth when any one tells him that it appears that his mission here is to help out the Law Enforcement folks. At a recent meeting, several of the white followers of the Law Enforcement crowd were present, and they would not allow Bobble to say anything about local commission, but t hey took special pains to say it for him. The Regular Democrats were sawing wood and saying nothing. With the advent of the new paper, The Democrat, the people will have an opportunity to learn the true conditions of affairs in Nashville. They will hear both sides of this question, which is nothing but just and right to any people, and on October 12th the will of the people will be impressed, and the Law Enforcement folks will be quietly back to their homes to attend to their own business. CHARLES H. BURRILL. Charles H. Burrill, a colored printer and publisher, died at his home in Brooklyn. He was born in Providence in 1843, and was a descendant on one side from Patience Prophet, one of the Indian squaws who sold the Providence Plantation to Roger Williams. At the age of fifteen Burrill was apprenticed to A. Crawford Greene & Sons, printers, and remained with the firm for twenty-two years, becoming assistant foreman. He was later connected with the publication of various periodicals. At one time he was a first lieutenant in the Rhode Island militia.—The Crisis. Mrs. John B. Key, of Okmulgee, Okla., spent a few days in the city the first of the week, the guest of Mrs. W. H. Fort. She left for her home Tuesday night. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911 BAR NEGRO NURSES FROM STANDING AN EXAMINATION. New State Board Thinks Law is for Whites Only—First Session is on—Gov. Hooper has Attention Called to Matter, and Points Out Illegality of Action. Negro nurses who presented themselves before the board of examiners of nurses, which began a three-days' session here Monday, were informed by the board that no colored nurses were wanted nor would they be given the right to wear the coveted "R. N." which means "registered nurse." Some of the colored nurses who presented themselves possessed more than the statutory requirements, in some instances having taken a three years' course in the Meharry Medical College, which has a hospital attached, when the law only requires two years. The drawing of the color line created quite a stir. The board was created by an act of the last legislature, after a group of nurses had been hammering at the legislative door for two or three terms, in season and out of season. The present meeting is the first one held. At the opening dash the board claims that the "color" of the applicant must be stated in the certificate, thus in almost direct language extending the examinations to both races. Gov. Hooper Disapproves. The refusal of the board was called to the attention of Gov. Hooper, who it as reported, did not approve of the action taken. When asked regarding the incident Gov. Hooper said: "I have not as yet had an opportunity to confer with any member of the examining board, and, perhaps, my views would be merely persuasive. If the board has denied these nurses registration simply on account of their race, as I am reliably informed they have, their action is illegal. There is nothing in the law which limits its application to white nurses and excludes colored ones from its benefits. It requires a two-year course of study and training for those that are registered without examination, but these colored nurses have taken a three-year course." "The statute in prescribing the description to be given of each registered nurse, says that along with age, sex etc, the 'color' must be stated. sex, etc., the color must be stated. "Members of the colored race have not been debarred from practising dentistry and medicine in Tennessee, and are compelled to comply with the same statutory requirements as the whites. The object of these laws is to provide competent persons to minister in all these professions to both races. There is nothing in the law or elsewhere that will oblige any individual to engage the services of a nurse of a different race, but it is wise and just that the colored nurses should be given every opportunity and encouragement to prepare themselves for efficient service to the sick and suffering to whose aid they may be called. Without Litigation. "I am sorry this misunderstanding has arisen and trust that it will be adjusted without the necessity of of litigation." Whether or not the calling of attention to the law by Governor Hooper will have any influence, remains to be seen. The following is the composition of the board: Mrs. L. A. Warner, Memphis, president; Miss M. Barnes, Nashville, secretary; Miss Lezanit Zunnavant, Memphis; Miss Ophelia Hornsby, Knoxville, and Miss F. G. Nisbet Nashville. The meeting is being held at the Housekeepers' Club on Eighth avenue, South. COATSVILLE LYNCHING COATSVILLE LYNCHING. Chief of Police and Three Other Men are Indicted. Coatesville, Pa., Sept. 20.—The grand jury that investigated the burning to death of Zack Walter, August 13, today returned indictments against Charles E. Eumsted, chief of police of Coatesville, and Stanley Howe, a policeman, charging them with involuntary manslaughter, and Richard Tucker, an insurance agent, and Walter Markward, who are charged with murder. The two police officers were admitted to bail of $2,000 each. Tucker and Markward were held without bail. The grand jury held that the chief of police was lax in his duty the night of the lynching, and that Policeman Howe, who was guarding the prisoner at the hospital from which he was taken by the mob, made no effort to prevent the lynchers from getting their victim. The other two men are charged with being active spirits in the mob. OPENS AT GREENWOOD PARK TUESDAY Many Attractions for the Visitors. EVERYTHING THERE TO MAKE MERRY—HOME PIGEONS WILL FLY TO GALLATIN — GOOD MUSIC — MAGNOLIA BAND — SOUTHERN FUN MAKERS TO BE ON HAND—WOMEN MAKING EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS IN THEIR DEPARTMENT — MRS. NAPIER WILL BE PRESENT—CHILDREN'S DAY A SPECIAL FEATURE — EVERYBODY A CHILD ON FRIDAY.

The many attractions that will be to entertain the people are increasing every day. The Spider Boy, under the management of W. S. Thompson, of Columbia, will be of great interest at the Fair. Harv y, Boyens, of Gallatin, will have a fine lot of Homer pigeons on exhibition at the Fair and they will travel between Greenwood and Galatin with messages. Dr. J. P.

Club will have the club in full dress at the Fair and will have a stylers exhibit on in the art of culinary. The Southern fun makers, a Nashville organization which recently has filled many engagements on the road, will hold down the audiences in the theatre during the fair at Greenwood Park. The women of the fair have kept up regular meetings ever since the last fair and they promise one of the best exhibits ever seen at the fair. Mrs. J. C. Napier will come from Washington and deliver the address, and all should hear it for it will be great. Porter Servingler, of Mt. Jullet, says don't crowd out his people, they are all coming down to see and be seen. The fair will have balloon ascensions every night and fire works one night. The children's department, under Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, will be the first ever in a fair and the children's day will be Friday. They will be admitted for ten cents on that day. Mr. Joe Brown will have one of the finest displays of potted plants and decorative flowers ever seen at a fair. No one has a better knowledge of the Horticulture business than Mr. Brown, and he has the grounds and green houses for the business. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY. Vacation seems about over; ten teachers and students are on the scene hard at work making ready for the 43rd opening next Tuesday, the 26th, inst., at 10 o'clock a. m., to be present at which the public is cordially invited. During the summer ten Tennessee Baptist Associations have been attended by officers of the institution, where they were received open-handed; substantial contributions made to the work and students promised. In the meantime, the correspondence has been large; more than 1000 catalogues have been distributed; the faculty has been enlarged and a music teacher of rare training and accomplishments secured; new roads have been built; additional rooms furnished by friends and woman's auxiliaries; 4000 bushels of coal ordered, 2000 binned; the store-room supplied and provisioned; Baptist Hymnals and text-books ordered—all with a view to the loss of not a day of the ensuing term through unpreparedness. Indications promise a prosperous and unprecedented year. All students are especially advised to enroll the first day that they may begin and keep abreast their work. COLORED NURSES STATE THEIR SIDE OF THE CASE. In defense of themselves the colored nurses have given out the following: That statement made that Negro nurses were debarred the rights of registration because the schools from which they graduated did not come up to the requirements is not true. They were told repeatedly by the President of the Board of Registration that it was because they were Negroes. One Negro nurse, who a graduate of a Massachusetts Training School, with a general training of three years, was told she was barred because she was a Negro. When the Negro nurses applied for blanks for registration they were supplied by the Secretary of the Board and on these blanks age, sex, color, the number of years' training and names of schools, as well as other questions were asked. These blanks were filled out and returned with the registration fee of five dollars. The Secretary sent cards to the Negro nurses who applied for registration, requesting them to be present at the meeting of the Board held September 18th, 19th and 20th. Most of the colored nurses met at the appointed time and were told collectively by the President of the Board that they would be barred because they were Negroes. The nurse from Massachusetts was told that nurses coming from schools out of this state would first have to have an "R. N." from the state in which she graduated before having it here. Though it is plainly stated in the bill that nurses coming from schools out of the state measuring up to the standard and wishing to practise the profession of nursing in this state would be allowed the rights of registration. Not only did the bill offer registration for trained nurses, but to experienced nurses of five years stand-in who could furnish suitable recommendations. The Negro womanhood of Tennessee stands shocked today at the treatment these young women have received. It is had to make them believe that such a thing would be done in the South. The group of young women represented some of the best medical colleges in the country, among them being Meharry, of this city; Freedmen's Hospital of Washington, D. C., and which is under the control of the Federal Government; the New England Hospital of Boston, which is one of the leading hospitals in the country. This was the nurse referred to as being from Massachusetts, but is developed that she was born and reared in North Carolina, and was only in the East long enough to complete her studies. North Carolina also Licenses colored nurses and they are recognized as others. MR. HARRIS SAYS HE WAS NOT PRESENT. (Nashville Banner.) S. P. Harris, the Negro nominee for Couneilman in the Third Ward: James Bumpas, a local colored lawyer, and J. P. Rhines, also an attorney and President of the Centrat Colored Republican Club were speakers at the meeting held in the Napier hall last night. The club had reports from workers in the various wards who have been interesting themselves in having the colored voters register and pay their poll-tax, and satisfactory progress was reported. The address of the colored candidate was listened to with considerable interest, and he was given a cordial endorsement. He has been for fourteen years at the head of the bookkeeping department of the National Baptist Publishing Board here, and has never taken active part in politics. Concerning law enforcement, he said: "I am unalterably for law enforcement. In my mind, if there is anything from which my people have suffered more than another, it is from the non-enforcement of the laws. For my people to stand for anything other than the enforcement of the law is suicidal. I believe in enforcing all laws as to violators, regardless of race, color or previous condition." Mr. Harris denies being at the meeting referred to, but instead says he was at a meeting on Hamilton street. MRS. DICKERSON, OF CHICAGO. ENTERTAINED Miss Lizzie D. Allen entertained Wednesday evening with a beautifully arranged tea in honor of Mrs. Daisy Hunter Dickerson, of Chicago. Mrs. Dickerson was called to the city on account of the illness of her mother, Mrs. James Hunter, who is much improved. No.37 FISK OPENS ON THE 27TH MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE DURING YEAR Prospects Bright for a Good Year. NEW SIDE WALKS AROUND THE INSTITUTIONS-LOVELY PROMENADE FOR STUDENTS AND CITIZENS-HOMES IN COMMUNITY BEING BEAUTIFIED-MORE GIRLS HAVE APPLIED THAN MALE STUDENTS-COMING IN LARGE NUMBERS-EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR THE BEGINNING-CAMPUS PUT IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION-BIG CROWD EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday of next week Fisk University, the pride of the Negroes of Nashville and the South, will throw open her doors to begin another year's work. The attendants have been busily engaged for several days getting everything in shape for the opening, and when the students return this year they will find many improvements that have been made during vacation. All of this will add to their comfort and convenience. On the grounds walks have been put down the entire length of the campus of Eighteenth avenue, on both sides of Harding and Jackson streets to Eighteenth and Seventeenth avenues, on Hamilton street on the Fisk side. This side greatly to the beauty of the University campus, and affords a lovely promenade for the student body as well as the citizens in the community. In the evenings an army of little tots will be see nstrutting up and down these beautiful sidewalks, and that it at once suggests itself to testify that these will make up a large portion of the future student body of Fisk University. The citizens in the community have joined in the improvements, such as beautifying their homes as fast as their meager means will permit. This is one of the strongest evidences of the appreciation of the people. When a Globe representative called to inquire of the outlook for this year, he was in formed that the number of students would be up to the record, that the girls' dormitory 'was overrun already, and that a large number of boys had applied for admission. He was informed that the outlook was very bright for a good year's work. The campus had been put in first-class order, and by the end of next week, an army of young people from every part of the country will be seen basking in the autumn breeze around Jubilee and Livingston Hall PRESIDENT OF THE ST.BERNARD MINING COMPANY IS DEAD Earlington, Ky., September 21. (Special.)—John B. Atkinson, the pioneer operator the Western Kentucky coal field, died at his summer home near Wrightstown, N. J., at 1 o'clock this afternoon, having withstood a lingering illness for the last two years. Mr. Atkinson, who was of Quaker parentage, was born near Multica Hill, N. J., November 11, 1840. His early years were marked by energy and enterprise. He became a school teacher at an early age, after which he attended the Fclytechnic Institute of Philadelphia, and following his graduation as civil engineer, he became engineer for a large contracting firm and while in this capacity he directed work on the improvement of Boston harbor and later on the well known Hoosic tunnel. In the early part of 1871 Mr. Atkinson came to Kentucky and became the superintendent of the St. Bernard Mining Company, of which Col. Sebree was then president. Later he became secretary and treasurer, vicepresident and treasurer, and now leaves vacant the office of president. Since coming to Kentucky his career has been identical with that of his company. From a comparatively small concern he developed the St Bernard Mining Company into one of the strongest mining establishments in the Ohio river valley. Howse Bros.

PROF. A. M. JACKSON IN ATLANTA TA. GA. Prof. A. M. Jackson, of Roger Williams University. Nashville, Tenn., has been in Atlanta, Ga., since the first of the month, and has been the most popular of recent visitors. He has spent the most of his time mingling among his many friends. His sister has been rather ill, but news comes that she is much better now. Among others he has visited Dr. E. R. Carter, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and family; Prof. John Hope, President of Atlanta Baptist College; and Mr. and Mrs. John Watson. During a one-day stay in Athens, Ga., a formal reception was accorded him last Wednesday evening, where he had the pleasure of meeting with a host of his Athens friends. He delivered an address before the B. Y. P. U. of one of the leading churches of the city, which was brought with wholesome thought and practical suggestions. A. N. JOHNSON'S NEW BUILDING. Mr. A. N. Johnson, one of the leading undertakers of this city, has in course of erection a three-story brick building adjoining his undertaking establishment on Cedar street. The building when completed will be used for stores and offices, with a theatre and amusement hall. Mr. Johnson, in speaking about the building to a Globe representative, said he was not certain that the theatre would be a paying proposition, but he believed the Negroes of Nashville would appreciate it and that alone was sufficient inducement for him to erect the building and include the theatre. It was not learned just when the theatre would be opened, but it is reasonable to suppose that it will not be opened before next season as this one is so far spent. The building will be well located and should be a profitable investment. The regular monthly meeting of the Christian Workers Missionary Society will be held September 25th, at 513 Mulberry street, Monday evening at eight o'clock. On the same day at ten o'clock in the forenoon we will be glad to welcome a large number to the opening lesson of the course on "How to Use the Bible in Soul Winning and Christian Culture." The first lesson will be about the "Advantages of Personal Work." Succeeding lessons will treat of the conditions of success in soul wining. How to deal with anxious souls and with those who have no concern for their salvation. How to meet the difficulties and excuses of the sinner. How to deal with Christians who need help, etc. Come yourself and invite your friends to join this class which will meet fortnightly. Nettie Green, City Hospital, 17 years.

Visits the National Baptist Publishing and B. Y. P. U. Boards. Drs. E. W. D. Isaac and R. H. Boyd entertained a large delegation of Alabama Baptists at breakfast and dinner Wednesday. The party was on its way home from the National Baptist Convention recently held in Pittsburg, Pa. Returning from their visits to the quarters of the two boards that are conducting printing plants in this city for the Baptist denomination, the delegates assembled in the spacious parlors of the Noon Lunch Cafe. While their appetites were being appeased, at the suggestion of a number of those present, it was decided that the delegation put itself on record as to their attitude respecting the departmental work being done by the Baptists in this city. The following is the expression of the body: "We regard Nashville and Tennessee as the denomination's Mecca and feel confident that our denomination throughout the country would be surprised to know the exact status of our work here. As we retrospect the history of our departments at Nashville we feel that the denomination should compliment itself on the very excellent standing it has made, both sentimentally and commercially. We are glad to report to the public that we find a spirit of brotherly love and kindness in evidence here. It is to be hoped that a kind Providence will be pleased to spare to the denomination the two denominational giants at the head of the departments in Nashville, for indeed and in truth, the entire Baptist family would be much affected by the loss of either our Boyd or our Isaac. The delegation also is very grateful for the beneficent spirit which prompted Mr. A. N. Johnson, a former Alabamian, to favor us with a tender of carriages for the entire delegation to spend an hour in sight seeing. We regret to have found Mr. Johnson somewhat indisposed and pray for his speedy recovery. The committee consisted of— Rev. J. S. Tate, Rev. Wm. Johnson, D. D., Rev. J. W. Goodgame, D. D., Rev. C. W.

F RIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911. "Nashville Offers Opportunities." "Nashville Offers Opportunities." Under the slogan above quoted the white merchants of this city have set about to tell the world what has been accomplished here in the way of manufacturing and handling merchandise and what it is possible for those to do who have in mind the establishing of an enterprise of any kind. Nashville offers opportunities far superior to many of our leading Southern centers, but it is a lamentable fact that her citizens have not taken advantage of these opportunities, and our public officials have in time past conducted affairs in such a way that capitalists have preferred to locate in other cities with far inferior opportunities to make a good profit on their investments, but where the inducements overbalanced the natural resources of this community. But old Nashville is awakening to her real strength, and is setting about to gain some of the opportunities that have heretofore been going to naught. This means a revolutionizing of everything connected with the make-up of the city; it means that every class of citizens must get a move on themselves, or be classed as drones and forced out of bounds. The Negro citizens stand off and look at these great achievements, as one by one they are thrown up to the world, and with admiration pride themselves as being a part and parcel of this municipality, but they should hide their faces in shame when it is remembered that the opportunities that are here for the white man are, to a degree, here also for the black man; and that it is because the black man does not apply himself to the surroundings that he does not achieve something for himself and the race. Nashville offers many opportunities for the Negroes in her bounds. For instance, there is not a single Negro shoe store in Nashville, nor a dry goods store, nor a millinery store, nor a man's clothing store; there is not a bakery nor a confectionery store. There are several communities where Negroes predominate where there is not a drug store, nor even a grocery store; there is not a furniture store where new goods are sold; every dish, tin pan, in fact, everything that is used in the Negro kitchens of Nashville, are bought from men other than black men. To say that Negroes can not engage successfully in any of these businesses is a mistake, and the charge that if they should attempt it the Negroes would not support them is also erroneous. To prove that Negroes will support Negroes in business it is only necessary to make mention of the three large Negro undertaking establishments in Nashville, and all of them are doing exceedingly well; there are also several grocery stores all in a prosperous condition, and there is one drug store in the city that has been in operation for over twenty years, and from all appearances it is in a healthy condition to-day. There in another drug store, recently --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911. opened on the East Side, and it has every sign of continual life. Because a few business concerns have exchanged hands recently is no reason to suppose that other Negro men cannot succeed. The opportunities are here; all that is necessary is for the men to make up their minds that they are going to do business, and to realize that all men cannot teach school or practice medicine or be lawyers; further, that a race of professional people will as a natural consequence, be a race of weak people financially. Many of our preachers and doctors, and men in other professions, such as teachers and lawyers, have from time to time made efforts to draw away from their chosen profession and embark in the commercial world. Others have attempted to do business as a side line. Sad to say, most of these attempts have been failures. What the conditions demand are men who have the courage to cut loose from everything else and decide on one line of business. If a man is a school teacher and decides to be a merchant, let him at the same time decide that he will cease to be a school teacher, let him put the same energy into that business that he is required by the school regulations to put into his school work. If our men will make such a conclusion, we will in a few years have in Nashville enterprises that will be a credit to the race and that will enable us to sustain our professional men. The opportunities are many; what man will be first to take one? Time for Independent Thinking. Nashville is passing through one of her critical periods right now. The men of this city are being put to a severe test. The line is drawn, and the factions are in battle array. There are followers on each side in this contest who believe they are right in their opinions. While this is true, it is also true that the deceptor and office-seeker chose such a time to get in his deadly work. There was a time in the South when it was commonly said that the office-seekers from the North had come South waving a bloody shirt in the faces of the Southern white men, and that they beguiled the black man to join them in the tirade. Whether the charge against the Northern white men was true or not, we all remember the experience, and every true man is compelled to say from the depths of his heart, "God forbid that such a time will ever come again in this glorious Southland." We are not far enough removed from that period for the horrors and perilous times experienced then to be forgotten. In fact, the old sore has not yet entirely healed. All of this deviltry was bundled in one lump and lighted with the torch of prejudice and thrown on the head of the poor ex-slave. He has had it all to bear, and the wonder is that he can stand as erect to-day as he does. In our coming election it behooves every Negro voter in this city to register and vote, it also behooves him to think soberly before he casts his ballot and decide within himself what is best to do, and to go quietly on election day and do that thing. In reaching his conclusion, he should review the records of the administrators of affairs, and decide for himself whether or not all of the tales he has been reading in the two biased daily papers in this city for the last year or so, are true or not true. He should realize that the newspaper is liable sometimes to misstate facts, and remember that the reason we have elections is that the people may decide the question and not the papers. Prohibition and law enforcement are two things that every loyal man should support, but if a voter believes the man asking his support will not be able to carry out the promises he makes and would not worry himself about doing it if elected, then he should decide for himself whether that individual is the very best man to hold office or not. Politics is a great game. Many things are being said by these civic righteous people that are not commendable to them, nor reasonable to their hearers; and we believe that in the election to be held on the 12th of October the Negro voters of Nashville will prove to the world as they have in the past, that they are able to judge between men who can do things and those who can only theorize. Sentiment or Results? In the approaching election the voters will be called upon to settle one of two things: whether they will vote for man on sentiment, or whether they will vote in a way that they believe will bring the best results to the most people. This question comes right home to the Negro. Good-sounding words are all right when there is nothing to be done, but when humanity is suffering, and young children are being deprived of those things they should enjoy, it is no time for sentimentalities, but reasoning. Mayor Howse and his administration have been charged with many things, the most of which it would be absolutely impossible for a man to do. When you take up the record of the Mayor and of his administration, you are compelled to admit that the affairs of Nashville have, under the present regime, been conducted on a higher business plane than this city has enjoyed for many years, and above all things, Mayor Hiliary E. Howse has seen to it that the black people of the city be given a square deal. He has not only been Mayor of Nashville, but he has extended sympathy where it was deserved, and has conducted the affairs in such a way that Nashville is being looked to from all parts of the world at this very hour. He believes in every man having a living chance, therefore he recommended to the council that the wages of the city school teachers be increased, and that they be paid twelve months in the year. Those opposed to the Mayor, on grounds best known to themselves, found fault with this and fought it to the bitter end, but it so happened that we had a set of councilmen who were business men, courageous and anxious to do what was right, and the Mayor was sustained by the council. One of the leading daily papers published by a man known to be a bitter enemy to Mayor Howse, and who has always been looked upon as a milk and cider politician, has taken special pains to oppose every attempt of the present administration to do anything for the betterment of Nashville. The people who are opposing Mayor Howse and his administration now are being urged on by this same individual, who is neither a Democrat nor a Republican nor a Socialist, but merely an "I am" the one man who knows what is best for everybody and everything, and when it is reduced to its final analysis, it is clear that the motives of that individual are selfish. The Negro voters of Nashville will be courageous if they will rise above all sentiment and cast their votes for the straight Democratic ticket in the October election, which is composed of men who know how to do things, and have the courage of their convictions. Next week the colored State Fair will be held at Greenwood Park. The management reports great promise of a successful fair this year. We hope it will be. Every Negro in Tennessee should feel it his duty to help make it so. The Crusade, a new contemporary, of Greenville, Miss., is on our desk this week. The newcomer has a healthy appearance, and we hope for her a long and useful existence. The papers nowadays are full of the tommyrot that Negroes are leaving Oklahoma by the thousands. It is strange indeed that none of them turn up in Tennessee. It is indeed gratifying to learn that the grand order of True Reformers is gradually getting on its feet again. The Planet admits it and it must be so EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Quite a wave of crime seems to have swept through the Southland this week. We wonder did the hot weather cause it, or was it just the old Satan in the people? The newspapers are headlined every day with murders, lynchings and assassinations. Let us pray for cold December to come.—The Fortuneteller. DEMOGRATIC TICKET FOR MAYOR Hiliary E. Howse. BOARD PUB J.

Negro citizens and voters of St. Louis are determined to use three weapons in defense of their manhood and will strike powerful and telling blows against the man or set of men, who assail their rights. These weapons are: "The Ballot," "The Withdrawal of Patronage," and "Common Sense." A Mr. Benj. F. Knauft has called a mass meeting of whites for Monday night, at Stumpf's Hall, on Vandeventer avenue, for the purpose of having a segregation ordinance placed upon the statute books of the city. This Mr. Knauft after trying every possible way to get his name in the newspaper, and failing, at last hit upon the Tillman-Vardaman Plan of gaining notoriety at the expense of the humble Negro race. Mr. Knauft and his cohorts will find the Negroes of St. Louis far from being asleep, and prepared to strike back with telling effect. The House of Delegates and the City Council are both Republican, should they find favor enough in Mr. Knauft's pet scheme to pass such an infamous ordinance which would trample the rights of the men who --- PUBLIC WORKS.

STUDENTS AND NOT NUMBERS. The Bee has been informed by a very learned gentleman that Howard University is in need of students and not numbers. When The Bee states students, it means a class of students who are gentlemen and well reared at their homes before they come to the institution. A student should be a gentleman. A young man should not be admitted to any institution simply because he wants an education. The faculty ought to investigate his pedigree and ascertain whether they are of the character that would warrant the faculty of the institution to admit him. Every nail cannot be polished beyond recognition, and neither can you make a gentleman out of every student. There are enough students at Howard University now, but the question is can these students be polished up to the standard—The Washington Bee --- When you want anything in the line of Drug, perfumes or Toilets Call 'Phone Main 1718 and I will be out to see you at once with my wagon.

In the preparation of "Talks to Farmers" we do not claim all the matter used will be original. Where we find anotaer has expressed what we want to say we will use good material in a good cause and the author will accept this as our apology for doing so. If the farmer's soil is fertile he should cultivate it in a way to keep it so. This can be done by proper rotation of crops, deep cultivation and returning to the soil as much of the elements of plant food as has been taken off in crops; and keeping up the supply of humus in the soil. We have shown that only about three pounds out of every one hundred pounds of dry matter came from the soil. In clearing virgin soil nothing should be burned. The waste matter should be allowed to rot and return to the soil the plant food and the humus to keep the soil in proper mechanical condition. Guard always against washing; deep plowing and thorough pulverizing in preparing ground for seeding is the important thing to do to prevent washing. All the manure and waste should be saved and returned to the soil. Because you can grow good crops now is no reason for neglecting to save the manure. You may have a good bank account and your checks will be honored so long as you keep up your deposits, but whenever you check more than you deposit you will hear from your banker. If you take from your soil without returning anything, the time will come when its cultivation ceases to be profitable. But the subject that interests most farmers is to learn how to restore a soil that has been cropped until the plant food is exhausted, or certain elements of it, until it does not pay to cultivate; where the ground has through carelessness and improper cultivation commenced to wash. In the majority of cases the land is really not as poor as it looks, but intelligent handling is necessary to get results. In the majority of cases the plowing has been shallow, the little soil is badly washed, there has not been the right kind of rotation of crops, the humus has been exhausted, the ground has been plowed too wet, stock allowed to run on it when too wet, the plant food has been locked up and is not available. To make it so, the ground should be subsolved deep during the fall and winter season, as much vegetable matter turned under as possible, all the available manure possible spread and worked into the soil; before planting any crop thoroughly pulverize the soil. After the crop has been planted the surface should be kept pulverized and stirred at least once a week during the cultivating season. The stirring of the soil breaks up the capillary action of the water and conserves it for the growth of the plants. We have learned that water is one of the principal requirements for plant growth; this is shown by the fact that when we have rain at the right time we get better crops on land than when we have a drought. So we can get better crops every year if we take the necessary steps to store up the water in the soil for use when required. To do this a deep soil is necessary; it takes a soil ten inches deep to absorb one inch of rainfall in twenty-four hours, and we must remember the greater amount of humus, or decayed vegetable matter, in soil, the greater its capacity for holding water. So it is always necessary to plow under vegetable matter to keep the mechanical condition of the soil right. We have shown that only three elements of plant food are liable to become deficient in the soil; lime, potash, and phosphoric acid. An application of two tons of pulverized limestone rock or one ton of burnt lime will sweeten the soil. The phosphoric acid and potash should be supplied in proportion to the requirements of the soil. The nitrogen can be built up by the application of barnyard manure, by growing leguminous crops, or by high grade commercial fertilizers. Let us emphasize the importance of deep plowing, turning under vegetable matter, growing leguminous crops, saving and spreading barnyard manures, liberal application of lime, and in the growing season thorough pulverizing of the surface of the soil. Next week we will have an article on "Clover," by Prof. Morgan, Director of the Tennessee Experiment Station, who will give the farmers some timely advice on this very important crop. The first thing in importance is the soil, for it is the farmer's capital. He can do no business without it. If he has a fairly good soil he can do fairly good farming; if he has a rich soil he can farm with pleasure and profit. The soil is the foundation—without it he cannot build at all, with it he may build all kinds of failures or successes, as he works with intelligence or ignorance. It is necessary for us to know all we may about the soil to get the best results in cultivating it. The soil is the top of the earth, it has no fixed color, depth or fertility. All of these vary in different places, and may be made to vary at any place. We speak of the soil and subsoil as though they were very different. This is not always the case; we generally call that part of the earth "soil" which is more or less loose and colored. Generally this color is a little darker than the earth below. The coloring has been given to the soil by the rotting of vegetable matter. It is not a necessary quality of soil, but a deep, dark color shows that the soil is ready to make large crops. We say it is rich. The looseness is caused by the living roots of plants forcing the particles of soil apart, the dead roots in rotting leaving holes. Worms and insects have aided in breaking up and disintegrating the surface soil. In cultivated soils this is carried further by the plow and harrow. There is no fixed line between soil and subsoil; the subsoil begins at the bottom of the soil, whether deep or shallow; when any part of the earth's crust or surface becomes loose and ready to give up its plant food, that part is soil; any part below which is hard and holds its plant food in a condition in which plants cannot readily use it, is called subsoil. Sometimes we find the subsoil on the surface, this is seen on the hillsides where the rains have washed the soil away. The action of air, sunshine, heat, cold and moisture will soon turn the exposed subsoil into serviceable soil if kept from washing. The soil on hillsides is generally shallow, because the looser parts are readily carried away by winds and rain. Such soil is apt to be poor also, because the finer parts are the richer parts, and as they are taken away the soil is left poorer. In low places, in the upland fields and in the bottom lands, along streams, water and winds have been depositing the finer particles taken from the hills, until they are very rich.

We will find just below the soil a hard subsoil; this is caused by the pressure of the feet of men and animals walking upon it. The subsoil is often too wet when the top soil is not too wet. When we stir earth and water together we make mud, when we dry the mud it becomes more or less hard. By going over the fields very often we have done the same to the subsoil. It is very hard on many farms. This hard layer is from four to eight inches deep, according to the age of the fields, kind of subsoil and wetness or dryness plowed over—it is called "hardpan." In many places it is so hard and close that water can hardly pass through it, but beneath it the earth is more or less porous. This hardpan very greatly affects the yield of the ground. It is all-important for the farmer to understand its value, the cause of it, the effect of it, and how to get rid of it. If the farmer plows six inches deep, the soil will be six inches deep.

Mr. Bedrick Whartor has been very ill, but is slowly improving. Mr. and Mrs. Monrow Crothers and their little daughter, Mazarime, are visiting relatives in Nashville this week. A concert was given at the A. M. E. Church Saturday night by Miss F. D. Mayberry. It was greatly enjoyed by all who were present. Miss Emma Nunnelly, who has been very ill for some time, is able to be out again. Mrs. D. W. Chavers, who attended the Baptist Association in Columbia, has returned home. She reports a most enjoyable time. Mrs. Taylor Chavers, Mrs. Sarah Gray and Mrs. Tom Gray were the guests of Mrs. Hannah Jackson Monday. The school of this place is progressing nicely under the control of Miss F. D. Mayberry. Mr. and Mrs. Mack Gray and their two daughters, Ulia Bell and Arthalia, of Centerville, were the guests of their parents, Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Gray. Mr. Dallas Nunnelly died this week. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Nunnelly. Mr. and Mrs. Fletch Deek are the proud parents of a fine boy. Miss E. M. Walker, who is teaching at Hohenwald, was the guest of her parents, M. and Mrs. I. L. Walker, Sunday. She was accompanied by Miss Augusta Charter, of Mt. Pleasant. The people of this place are preparing to begin their sorghum making. Mrs. Sam Crother and children are visiting her sister, Miss P. M. Crothers. Mr. Arch Clagett was the guest of Miss Lenora Gray Sunday. --- he plows deeper the soil will be deeper. If he goes entirely through the hardpan, his soil will be very deep. The six inches of subsoil will make more than six inches of soil. When broken by the plow, and made still finer by the harrow, and still finer by the frost, gases, air and water, there will be from fourteen to sixteen inches of soil instead of four to six. Not only will the depth of soil be greatly increased, but the fertility will also be greatly increased. The finer the particles of soil, the more fertile the soil. The soil is the decomposed surface of the earth. The deeper the decomposition, the deeper the soil. If our farmers would plow deep during the fall and winter months, when the ground is not too wet, let the rain and frost get in their work of decomposition, then pulverize in the spring, they would make available plant food that would produce far better crops without commercial fertilizer than they can possibly do now with all the best fertilizer that they can use, and at the same time stop the washing of their land. wn Notes.

The question now uppermost in the mind of the thoughtful citizen is will Illinois in the next National campaign remain in the Republican column? The abnormal situation in Illinois politics has put the wisest political prophets at his wits end. Both political parties at present seem to be hopelessly divided into party factions, which seem more bent upon factional supremacy than upon party triumph and success. The word which more than any other describes the situation in this State is political discord. The Democratic party is now breaking up and lining up for the contest under the Hearts and Sullivan banners. The Republicans have a number of factions which are seeking to recognize and control the Republican party in Illinois and determine its course in the next National Convention. At present there are a number of important elements taking on form and shape under a number of prominent leaders and aspirants for Gubernatorial honors in this State. There is the Lincoln Protective League, under the leadership of Senator Lorimer; the Progressive under Senator Jones; another division under States Attorney Wayman; and still another under Governor Chas. S. Deneen, the present Governor. The contest for supremacy in the Republican party, will be bitterly fought and the outcome can not be predicted now. There is a splendid opportunity for the colored citizen on account of his numbers and his vote to play an important part in the pending contest. One question is, will the colored people with the opportunity to express themselves insults to be bartered away by selfish individually at the polls, sucer thempolitical leaders for personal ends and individual preferment, or will they as men disregara the political bosses and men disregard the misguided counsel of leaders and political bosses and rise up in their manhood and vote for the liberation, the interest and for th cmfwy shrd cmfw cmfwymm the manhood rights of the Negro people? Another question is, will the Colored people divide their political strength among the number of Republican factions and thus loose the balance of power and lessen their influence in the political equation, or will they ban themselves together with a common thought, purpose and determination to unitedly support those candidates and those principles which have for their end the welfare and advancement of the Colored people?—The Illinois Chronicle.
